Chapter 117 The weak Han will be destroyed
Liu Cang wanted to send hundreds of women to Lou Sang, but he also made strange rules. Liu Bei questioned, and Liu Fan and others were also curious, and they all turned their attention to Liu Cang.
"Many of these Yellow Turbans have the heritage of the Huns. I can't tell whether they are Barbarians or Han, so as not to disrupt our Lou Sang ethics, that's all." Liu Cang glanced at Liu Bei and said without any doubt.
"Absurd, how can it be like this!" Liu Bei was surprised.
Ethics? He swore that he had known Liu Cang since he was a child. Liu Cang was definitely not a person who valued ethics. Now he actually wanted the clan elders to set such cruel clan rules because of this. It was hard to tolerate truth and reason.
Looking at Liu Bei and the people around him, there were doubts in their eyes. Liu Cang shook his head, impatient to explain.
"Although the Huns have integrated into the Han Dynasty, they also inherited their so-called wolf nature. Its essence is that no one can be bullied, no one can be slaves, and no one can be rebelled. You want me, Lou Sang, to be like a wolf's den in a hundred years?"
No?" Liu Cang asked coldly.
"this.
"Liu Bei was suddenly speechless, and everyone on the side was thoughtful.
"Then you can't be so hasty, we can teach you carefully, that's fine.
"After struggling for a moment, Liu Bei showed that he couldn't bear it. As he spoke, Liu Cang interrupted him.
"The ethics of the Han Dynasty also include the way of eating meat and drinking blood. My own children can't teach it, so I don't have time to struggle with it. The Huns have been integrated into the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and their nature has not changed. How many more years are you prepared to pay attention to?"
Liu Cang waved his hands impatiently and acted arrogantly, but everyone suddenly came to their senses and showed approval.
Today is not an era when the 'orthodox Confucianism' of later generations is in power, and the pride of the Han people is not fake.
Cultivation of foreigners is regarded as good talk, but it is just good talk, and it is nothing more than a joke.
It's been hundreds of years, and you're still like this. Who has time to serve you?
The purpose of letting the Xiongnu integrate into the Han Dynasty was to make the Han Dynasty more prosperous. As a result, you have been multiplying for hundreds of years. You have not learned the good things, but you have carried forward your unconstrained egoism.
Annexing the land, enslaving the tribesmen, and even killing them with military force will have no effect. Then why do you want to integrate? Promote the Xiongnu culture and prosper the Xiongnu clan?
The Han people are also self-interested, and who doesn’t like the idea of self-interest?
However, the most fundamental difference between the Han people and the Xiongnu is that some self-interested behaviors are defined as wrong and bad, and will be condemned, despised and boycotted.
Therefore, the Han people knew that they should not do some self-interested things, because if they did, the gains would outweigh the losses. From this, we have the cause and effect of benevolence to the king and loyalty to the ministers, to fellow villagers, and to fathers being kind and sons being filial.
At this time, everyone also understood what Liu Cang was taboo about. The Huns' style was simply not too comfortable. Who wouldn't like that style if there was a chance to rise to power?
It is said that it is easy to learn bad things but hard to learn well. In terms of enlightenment, the Xiongnu's "wolf nature" can defeat the "virtue" of ten or hundreds of Han people.
It's impossible to do it at all.
It’s hard to say that those oppressed serfs who thought the Han people were hypocritical and funny just looked at them and thought they were virtuous.
And those nobles who oppressed them are probably their role models, worthy of their lifelong pursuit and imitation.
This is such a painstaking teaching.
When everyone suddenly realized, they no longer took Liu Cang's earlier behavior seriously.
It's just to tell these women not to teach their children and not to pass on values to their children. If a group of yellow scarf prisoners can't do this anymore, they should be beaten to death.
"Although Haoxuan's method is extreme, it is still a permanent solution. From now on, people can live in the Han Dynasty." Although Liu Bei still couldn't bear it, he no longer refuted Liu Cang. When Liu Fan thought about it, he was
Verbally give recognition.
"We should be careful. One generation can end the inheritance of a family. This method is harmful to the peace of the world. If someone does it to me, a Han, alas, Haoxuan will make my brother tremble with fear." Liu Bei said.
With a look of fear, Liu Cang looked at him in surprise.
"It's easier for others to destroy me."
"When the Han Dynasty is weak! That is the day when civilization is cut off! Those who can be effective will be strong! Hahahaha." Liu Cang laughed.
It seemed like he was teasing, and everyone chuckled. They had no idea of a weak man in their hearts, and they all thought he was teasing Liu Bei.
Only Guan Yu noticed that there were green veins on Liu Cang's clenched fists. Guan Yu couldn't help but take a closer look at Liu Cang and saw that he seemed to be lazy again, but he couldn't tell the reason at all.
At the end of the war, the Yellow Turban prisoners collected their weapons and took them into custody.
Everyone relaxed and chatted. Although everyone no longer resisted Liu Cang's attitude towards the female prisoners, everyone knew that this kind of thing could easily attract criticism, so they would not discuss it further.
When everyone returned with a great victory, Liu Yan personally went out of the city to greet them, reward the soldiers, and report their military exploits.
After resting for a few days, I heard that Huangfu Song burned down the Changshe, destroying the Yellow Turbans, but also caused the Yellow Turban rebels to break into pieces and scatter in all directions.
Liu Bei and Liu Cangtong said goodbye to Liu Yan. Liu Bei planned to report to Lu Zhi first, and then go to the Yingchuan battlefield to help Huangfu Song fight against the bandits.
Liu Cang planned to return to Luoyang first and return the horses obtained in the first battle, including orichalcum, to Luyuan.
The bear returned from the attack, but it was just this one, without any protective gear. It probably couldn't survive a charge among the weapons. With orichalcum wandering around, the seemingly good spiritual beast turned into a pot of bear meat.
Entering Jizhou from Zhuojun, the land of Jizhou is already full of flames. Looking into the distance, you can see towering smoke of gunpowder flying in the distance from time to time.
Liu Cang and his entourage brought hundreds of horses to avoid being robbed by the Yellow Turbans. They avoided the county town and did not stop along the way. They encountered many small groups of Yellow Turbans along the way.
Liu Cang led his troops, and the fighting continued. Hundreds of horses traveled through Jizhou, and when they encountered the Yellow Turbans, they were killed.
Occasionally, I encountered some horse-carrying yellow turbans who were not sure whether they were cavalry, but the number of horses Liu Cang carried increased instead of decreasing.
Jizhou was in chaos, and Liu Cang's side had few troops. The defeated prisoners were dispersed where they were. Anyone who was not a woman and had the physical signs of the Huns would be killed.
Because there were pigs and badgers following them, these badgers greatly affected the marching speed. Liu Cang and his entourage prepared a cart, and among the horses, they ignored the bumps and bumps, and dozens of carts of badgers followed the army.
What we saw along the way was that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou gathered together to attack the county and city, and there were many battles and smoke in the city. On the contrary, many of the rural villages were well-preserved.
This is not to say that the Yellow Turbans are sympathetic to the people. Many villages in Jizhou were also rebelled by serfs. The villages were destroyed, large families were exterminated, and many people were killed.
Compared with the complicated personnel composition and the captured county towns with city walls garrisoned, the civilian villages became troublesome for the Yellow Turbans to attack for a long time.
Villagers gather in villages, and several villages gather to receive unified dispatch. Multi-village joint defense is even more frequent.
The number of people in these places ranges from hundreds to thousands, and they are united by relatives and aristocratic families to provide all kinds of support.
Anyone who attacks a village like this will inevitably experience brutal fighting, and most of the Yellow Turban Army, who are mostly serfs, have far less physical fitness than the people in the village.
The village fortress became a useless existence to the Yellow Turbans. It was really tasteless to eat and it was a pity to abandon it. Lu Zhi's army was approaching Guangzong, so many Yellow Turbans had to gather troops in the city to fight.
Along the way through the prefectures and counties, the frequent battles and long-term bumps made the accompanying cavalry feel uncomfortable. When they arrived at Yudu River, before going to Hulao, Liu Cang led his troops straight to Mangshan Luyuan and returned.
Back to rest, horses in the trough.
He had more than 100 new war horses and more than 400 plow horses in his hands. Seeing his own stables and horses lined up in rows, Liu Cang was inevitably agitated by the scenery of the horse-herding mountains.
After spending more than a month on the road, Liu Cang and Zhang Xiu Niang, who stayed behind in Luyuan, had an unbridled love affair.
Asked about the training situation at Feixiong Camp, Liu Cang deliberately selected some people who dared to fight and kill to adapt to fighting on the battlefield during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so that they could become commanders in the future.
