Thinking of this, Yang Qiu laughed: "Please forgive me for not recognizing General Xu. But General Xu, why don't your troops display flags?"
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "I was leading my troops to inspect the four villages today, and we were not preparing for a war. You guys came too suddenly, so I came right over. However, the soldiers and horses in Shouchun City have already received my orders." The order will arrive soon, Chief Yang, you can now answer my question, why did you rebel against Qin and come here!"
Yang Qiu sighed softly and said: "Perhaps General Xu has heard that Fu Jian was ambitious and wanted to attack the Jin Kingdom, so he took one of the ten men in the country and went south in a big way."
Liu Yu nodded: "Everyone in our Jin Dynasty knows about this. The Qin State's millions of troops have been assembled. Judging from your posture, you should be one of the millions of troops."
Yang Qiu gritted his teeth: "Yes, the two thousand or so horses you saw are all the adult males of our tribe. There is one thing that General Xu may not know. For the Han, Qiang, Huns, and Xianbei people, Fu Jian draws one out of ten, but for us Di people, we have to give out every household."
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he looked at Murong Nan, and then turned to look at Yang Qiu: "Exit the house? This is unlikely. It's not a battle to destroy you and Di Qin, so why is it like this?"
Yang Qiu sighed: "Because there are so few people in the Di tribe, even though Fu Jian claims to be tolerant and generous, he cannot trust other tribes in his heart, so he needs as many soldiers and horses as possible in his tribe to monitor the other ethnic groups, the Hu people and the Han people. We Di people There are more than one million people in total. To monitor the seven to eight hundred thousand foreign soldiers and horses, there must be more than two hundred thousand. Besides, Fu Jian is also afraid that other foreign barbarians will appear when he wants to destroy the Jin Dynasty. If the work fails, he is planning to use Di people to fight this battle."
Murong Nan sneered and said: "This thief is willing to use his own people to fight? If he loses, I'm afraid his country will not be protected."
Yang Qiu gritted his teeth: "These are not matters for us to consider. I only know that Fu Jian wants us to go out from home. All the men in our tribe are here, and he wants us to be the vanguard to attack the Jin Dynasty. In the battle of Cijunchuan, we all know that the Jin army has a strong fighting capacity. This is forcing us, the Yang family, to annihilate our descendants."
Liu Yu suddenly said: "You are the Di tribe from Qiuchi, why are you here so quickly? And you should be in Xichuan, so why are you here in Lianghuai?"
Yang Qiu curled his lips and said: "Although we are also Di people, we are not the same tribe as Fu Jian. Their Fu clan had already moved into the Central Plains during the Three Kingdoms and Pre-Jin Dynasty, and our Yang clan is Living in Qiuchi for generations, it has become a force of its own. By the time of Fu Jian, it had been passed down for more than a hundred years. Unfortunately, internal disputes and clan killings weakened the force, giving Fu Jian an opportunity to take advantage of it and eliminate it. And our Yang family He also forcibly moved our clan into the Central Plains. He was afraid that we would rebel, so he incorporated all the men of our clan into the army and placed them in the Central Plains and Yuzhou area."
Murong Nan nodded: "I know that the Yang family of Qiuchi is famous for being good at fighting among the Di people, and I have also heard of you, Yang Qiu, as the great leader. However, since you are controlled by Fu Jian, your family and children Everything is in his hands. If you defect openly like this, aren't you afraid that your wives, sons and daughters will be punished?"
Yang Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Fu Jian claims to be benevolent and righteous after all. As long as we don't join the Jin army and become enemies with him on the battlefield, he probably won't kill our families. Moreover, we all know that Fu Jian To ask us to be the vanguard means to ask us to die, which will not only weaken the Jin army, but also eliminate the internal threat."
Liu Yu said coldly: "You are Di people, the core force of our clan that he can rely on. Why would he weaken you? This doesn't make sense."
Yang Qiu sighed: "General Xu doesn't know something. Fu Jian is actually not a Di in the true sense. We Di people see him more like a Han."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Fu Jian has always claimed to be benevolent and righteous, and used Han kings to rule the country. Most of his national policies were to eliminate the distinction between Yi and Xia. Isn't it normal for him to look like a Han?"
Yang Qiu gritted his teeth: "If we Di people conquer the world, they will naturally give us more benefits. General Xu should know that for our tradition, conquest and victory means more land, livestock, Population, slaves, but Fu Jian didn't give us these, and even gave us various restrictions, asking us to work in agriculture and give up our previous nomadic life. To be honest, we have hated him for a long time!"
The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up. He knew that what Yang Qiu said was also true: "When you enter the Central Plains, you will naturally follow the Central Plains rules and cannot continue to be the same as before on the grasslands. This is normal and cannot be said. I'm sorry for asking you to farm. You can't turn the Central Plains into a grassland."
Yang Qiu said bitterly: "But this is not fair. The Han people are drawn one out of ten, and they have little corvee, but we Di people have to go out from home when there is a war. There is no benefit if we win. Just like our tribe , participated in the battle to destroy Yan, the battle to destroy Dai, Fu Luo of Youzhou rebelled, and we also sent troops to quell it, but for having made so many contributions, we did not receive any reward, is this fair? "
Murong Nan said coldly: "No reward? No, right? I remember that you, Chief Yang, always give rewards based on merit and give officials and titles."
Yang Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he turned to laugh: "That just gave me some false officials. Why don't you let me manage my troops at Yingchuan's place? It seems that I have the title of general. , in fact, he is still just a tribal leader. Why can they, the Han people, enter the court and serve as officials, while we Di people can't enjoy the glory and wealth despite our meritorious service? I am not the only one who has grievances. It is Fu Jian who raised troops in Youzhou last year. Didn't the clan, or his cousins, also get angry and start an army because of this?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Having said so much, Leader Yang is usually very dissatisfied with Fu Jian, so this time Fu Jian wants all your tribe members to go out, and all the men have to go to the battlefield. You are afraid of giving Jin a The army was wiped out, so you just rebelled against Qin and surrendered, right?"
Yang Qiu nodded: "That's right. I also told General Tian Luotian who is stationed in Pengcheng about this. It was him who opened the way and quoted the documents, so I was able to get here all the way."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu took the silk and unfolded it in his hand. The seal and signature behind it were really Tian Luo's handwriting. This was what he had seen when he followed Liu Muzhi to handle some Tang newspapers at the Military Commander's Mansion in Beifu. Forgery. He nodded, put the silk into his arms, and looked directly into Yang Qiu's eyes: "So, if you rebel against Qin like this, what will happen to your family members in Qin? How will Fu Jian know if you have helped us deal with him? ?”
