Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 268 Containing Each Other
Yuan Xi felt that Liu Xie was actually very pitiful. If Liu Bei still had some hope of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was basically hopeless.

Regardless of Liu Xie's name as the Son of Heaven, the available cards in his hand are not as many as Yuan Xi's.

Yuan Xi said in his heart that he was Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In the predicament of turning around and being coerced by different warlords and princes, he might have started to mess up a long time ago, and fell asleep with Empress Fu in his arms.

Of course, Yuan Xi understood that Liu Xie would never sit still and die. Later generations also struggled hard many times, including incidents such as the Yidai Zhao, but he met Cao Cao, and he could only leave sadly in the end.

Yuan Xi thought to himself that he was not a good person, what he wanted to do now was similar to Cao Cao, he wanted to get a share of the emperor's return to the east.

For this purpose, it is necessary to pry open the road from Youzhou to Hanoi.

The first obstacle in front of him was the Black Mountain Army.

Yuan Xi thought of this, and said to Xian Yufu: "I've heard about the Ding Ling caste."

"This is not a problem at all, isn't it just that several generations have married Xianbei?"

"Nowadays, the Han people are not necessarily unmarried. Since they are all members of the big Han family, they should be treated equally, regardless of each other."

The so-called registered household Qimin refers to the registered household registration, which has the identity of a big man.

Seeing that Yuan Xi's demeanor did not seem to be fake, Xian Yufu couldn't help being a little shocked, and said: "I thought before that Shi Jun was very disgusted with our families with Han and Hu blood."

The gentry in the Central Plains looked down on these frontier families, and often talked about bloodlines, which made Xianyufu and these families feel inferior, and they couldn't integrate into the circle of the gentry in the Central Plains.

Now that Yuan Xi is the head of the Yuan branch of the aristocratic family, he doesn't care about it, which makes Xian Yufu feel a little strange.

Yuan Xi really didn't care, wasn't he of Xianbei blood, didn't the later Sui and Tang royal families also have some?
Bloodlines belong to bloodlines. Who can tell the bloodlines of the descendants of Yan and Huang in ancient times?
Therefore, it is impossible to have a truly pure ethnic group, but as long as we distinguish between primary and secondary, we can become a family.

Just like in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although there were Xianbei Xiongnu women who married into the royal family, they can only be said to have foreign blood, but who dares to say that the Sui and Tang Dynasties are the Xianbei Dynasty?

No one can deny that the Sui and Tang dynasties were the Han Dynasty, let alone the Dugu family and the eldest grandson family who married into the royal family. Except for their surnames, their habits and inheritance have long been the same as those of the Han people.

This is the so-called primary and secondary.

Chinese tradition puts cultural identity first, not blood identity. Because of this, there was the first great national integration of Dongyi, Sanmiao and Huaxia in ancient times. If it was possible in ancient times, why not now?

You must know that the later Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the second great cultural integration of Chinese civilization after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the scope of this integration was far wider than the first.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were mainly the fusion of various cultures native to the land of China, while the second period included the undiscovered folk cultures of Persia, India, Sogdia, the Western Regions, Manli, Baipu, Beizu, Southeast Asia, and the Central Plains. With an unprecedented depth and breadth, it has been integrated into the new culture with Chinese traditional culture as the mainstay, and Chinese culture has since opened up and become more brilliant.

If there is no distinction between friends and foes, and those foreign nationalities who are willing to integrate into China are shut out, it is tantamount to closing the door to national exchanges and integration, and inclusiveness becomes empty talk.

Because the biggest feature of Chinese culture is that it is inclusive of all rivers, not certain ethnic groups that engage in massacres of dissidents.

Yuan Xi felt that the path taken by the ancestors of later generations was correct, and there was no need to do the opposite. In addition, he is now vigorously developing shipping, and he will be exposed to more foreign cultures and customs. It is unrealistic to stand still.

What Yuan Xi really disliked were those bandit aliens who refused to integrate into the Chinese culture, but at the same time they wanted to suck blood from the Han border people and do evil.

For these people, it is natural to beat these foreigners like Wei Qinghuo Qubing. If they are willing to enter the customs and integrate into one body, Yuan Xi welcomes them very much, but if they want to make a living by robbing and killing, they can only beat them to death Go back to the desert and fend for your own life and death.

Yuan Xi told Xian Yufu what he wanted, and finally said: "Since we are all Han people, then naturally there are only Han people, not Hu."

"If you take advantage of the Han Dynasty and still have self-reliance in your heart, I don't like it."

"Customs can be preserved, but you must consider yourself a citizen of the Han Dynasty. This matter is a choice that all ethnic groups in Youzhou will have to make sooner or later."

"Youzhou is the Youzhou of the great Han, not the Youzhou of the foreigners."

"Otherwise, I, the governor of Youzhou, would not indulge them."

Xian Yufu listened, thoughtful, Yuan Xi's hint was already very obvious, as long as he and Yan Rou thought they were big men and people and didn't want to stand on their own, then Yuan Xi would stand by their side!
On the other hand, Wuhuan is in trouble, because Shanyu Tadun obviously has other intentions!

Xian Yufu was overjoyed, he found that talking to someone like Yuan Xi didn't need to waste any time!
He said aloud: "If Xian Yu's family submits to the envoy..."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "I will go to the Han court together with Liu He to justify the name of the Xianyu family."

"As long as the Xianyu family guards the northern border for the big man, I will definitely give General Xianyu a satisfactory return."

After hearing this, Xian Yufu was overjoyed. Of course, this was the result he wanted, because he and Yan Rou's bases were both in several counties of Guangyang, adjacent to Zhuo County. If they had a bad relationship with Yuan Xi, the first It affected his family.

In this chaotic world, long-distance and short-term attack are completely inapplicable, because they simply don't have enough cards to fight against Yuan Xi and the Yuan family behind him, and make wedding dresses for others in vain, that's what fools do.

As for Yuan Shang, no matter how good the conditions are, Xian Yufu still lacks interest. Unless he can kill Yuan Xi and make a great contribution without leaving any future troubles.

But what Yuan Shang gave may not be much better than what Yuan Xi gave.

But the risk is too great, so big that in comparison, the difference in returns is completely negligible.

The reputation of the Yuan family's vicious tiger spread far and wide, once he failed in the gamble, not to mention his own death, the fate of the Xianyu family would definitely be extremely miserable!
Thinking of this, Xian Yufu said: "I would like to represent Xian Yu's family and do my best for you."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "The general doesn't regret it?"

"Working under me is very hard work."

Xian Yufu gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "As a man of the people, he pays attention to promises, and Fu sincerely seeks advice from you. I hope you will learn from me."

"Okay!" Yuan Xi said, "I will definitely not disappoint the general!"

"Then please temporarily condescend, general, to be my lieutenant general, in charge of Yuyang's military affairs. I will also arrange military positions for those who are less brave than the family."

Xian Yufu was overjoyed when he heard that, then he hesitated and said, "Yan Rou is in Yuyang now, and he was Karasuma Sima before..."

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Sima Karasuma, does he have a conflict with Shanyu Tadun?"

After hearing this, Xian Yufu smiled wryly and said, "Young master is like a god, what Shan Yu Tadun wants to do is to gather Wuhuan together, and he..."

Yuan Xi listened, nodded and said: "I understand. I hope the general will go back and tell Yan Rou that Wuhuan's matter will not be resolved for a while. I am short of a military commander by my side. Ask him if he is interested."

"In this case, he thought it would be much easier for him to recruit Wuhuan soldiers in my name and his own prestige, and to act cheaply, right?"

After hearing this, Xian Yufu hurriedly said: "The last general will go back immediately and tell Yan Rou what the envoy said."

Yuan Xi nodded after hearing this, and said, "Where is he now?"

Xian Yufu said, "Now in Yongnu."

Yuan Xi heard this, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, isn't it just to the north of Quanzhou, and I just happen to be leaving tomorrow."

"In that case, you can go with me."

Xian Yufu quickly took orders.

He thought in his heart that the fierce tiger of the Yuan family really lived up to his reputation, and he used himself and Yan Rou to restrain Shan Yu Tadun who wanted to become big.

He let himself guard Yuyang, but took Yan Rou by his side, and separated himself from Yan Rou.

And the reaction was very quick, he didn't even give himself a chance to go back and discuss with Yan Rou, and set off directly to see Yan Rou.

In addition, the appointment of Liu He before, and the fishing of Yanrou and Wuhuan of the Xianyu family, can be described as interlocking.

With all kinds of methods at his fingertips, is he really a 20-year-old young man?
After Xian Yufu left, Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes.

Xian Yufu got what he wanted now from him, but that doesn't mean his appetite won't become bigger in the future.

Xian Yufu and Yan Rou are not simple characters. When they were Liu Yu's subordinates, they valued the reputation of the Han Dynasty. It doesn't mean that they are really less capable than Liu Yu.

If I can't show the ability to suppress them, these two people may not have differences in the future.

Yuan Xi's judgment was based on a fact.

In the battle of Yijing, before Gongsun Zan's fall, Yan Rou and Xian Yufu actually controlled the situation in Youzhou, actually controlling half of Youzhou.

Now that the two of them have come here without making any achievements, it is impossible for me to promise too high a condition. It is impossible to say that there is no psychological gap between the two.

Therefore, Yuan Xi felt that there were many reasons for the two of them to give in to him, including the pressure from Yuan Shi, the threat from Wuhuan, and finally the idea of ​​not wanting to be an enemy of him.

It's easy to get someone's support, but it's a long process to get someone's loyalty.

This was the case with Xian Yufu. He took refuge in himself, mostly because of the situation. If he were to say that he was very loyal, it shouldn't be considered very loyal.

But Yuan Xi had no other choice, and it was better to get the support of the two than to tear his face apart.

Because the one who should be eliminated in Youzhou at the moment is Shanyu Tadun who secretly colluded with Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xi had a bad impression of Shan Yu Tadun. In his opinion, since the other party chose Yuan Shang, there was no need for him to give Shan Yu Ta Dun a good look.

He would not offer a higher price in order to win the support of Shanyu Tadun with Yuan Shang, which might be exactly what the other party wanted, betting on both sides, taking both sides.

Since you want to eat everything, then I will let you eat nothing.

If it weren't for Liaoxi County's difficulty in getting through, and he had to deal with the Black Mountain bandits, he really wanted to teach him a lesson now.

But at present, the two sides are separated by the pass of the Great Wall, and I can't reach it. After the Black Mountain Army is dealt with, I will free up my hands sooner or later to completely solve the problem of Wuhuan.

Yuan Xi sighed. Right now Youzhou has a lot of power that can be used, but the only one he can trust is the direct line army led by Qu Yi and Zhao Yun in Beixincheng.

Others such as Yan Rou and Xian Yufu would never fully confess to themselves, and it would be impossible for Yuan Xi himself to entrust all of his wealth to a lord who did not know the background.

Right now, Yuan Xi is using Yan Rou and Xian Yufu to contain Wuhuan, and using his direct lineage to contain Yan Rou and Xian Yufu, the key is still one thing, to distinguish between primary and secondary.

If he can't suppress Yan Rou and Xian Yufu, the other side is likely to turn against them. Yuan Xi's own troops are only [-] people, and Yan Rou and Yan Rou should be able to mobilize no less than [-] troops.

In this case, the situation would be a little out of balance, especially when dealing with the Black Mountain Army, a large part of Yuan Xi's direct lineage might be used to send troops.

So Yuan Xi had to make use of the fourth force in Youzhou.
