There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"His Royal Highness, you are now in my hands. I will give you two choices. The first is to let me hand over you and your son to Qu Yi, and let them bring you back to Yuan Jizhou and announce to the world. A thousand cuts to pieces will make your old Yu family completely extinct in the Southern Huns."

After hearing this, Liu Bao's knees softened, and he almost fell to the ground.

On the contrary, Yu Fuluo has experienced the storm for a long time, and he can hear the implication in Tao Shang's words. Does he still have a second way to choose?

He looked at the potter in a daze, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What about the second way?"

"The second way." The potter stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and said, "It's simple! It's you and your son, change your name and surname, pretend to be my slaves, follow me back to Xuzhou, and use it for me from now on. That's the second way."

"what!?"

Hearing this, Yu Fuluo showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and said angrily: "I am the son of the Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu, and I will give you a son of a Han official family as a slave?!"

"It's fine if you don't want to."

The pottery merchant spread his hands and said: "Then send you to Jizhou, and let Yuan Gong use your father and son to death. I don't know if Your Highness knows that we Han people used to have a set of punishments called five punishments." , although it has been abandoned for a long time, but according to your crime, Prince Yuan, it is very likely that you will be tested again, that is, first tattoo your face, then cut off your nose and ten toes, Then they beat people to death with rattan canes, beheaded and smashed the bones."

"Ada! No way!" Liu Bao suddenly fell to his knees and hugged Yu Fuluo's thigh, his words were full of pleading.

Yu Fuluo's face also turned pale, and he fixedly stared at the potter's smiling face.

Yu Fuluo knew in his heart that if he wanted to survive now, he had to choose the second path given to him by the potter.

In a nation without ethics and beliefs, life will inevitably occupy the first place.

"If I, we are your domestic slaves, can we really survive?" Yu Fuluo asked the potter tentatively.

The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee this, it mainly depends on your own luck. First of all, you have to pretend to be a house slave. If you want to pretend, you have to pretend so that others can't see the flaws, so that I can keep you guys." .”

Yu Fuluo was silent for a moment, and said: "Our father and son can change into Han Chinese outfits, comb Han Chinese headdresses, lead your horses, and be your slaves, as long as you save our father and son's lives."

The pottery merchant smiled and nodded, and said again: "There are still names, your real names can't be used anymore, let's change to a Chinese name. House slaves are lowly, so if you want to give a name, you have to give it a double name, so that people can't see the flaws." .”

Yu Fuluo's face turned red, and he couldn't figure out how to come up with the name for a long time. He sighed and lowered his head, "I don't know how to name Han people. It's up to you! You can name it for us. "

The potter touched his smooth chin, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "It's all for Luan Tiyu Fuluo, don't pick it randomly, you just take it as your surname, as for the name, there are many people from the lowly background of us big men." Name the child in terms of characteristics, so that it is easy to say, so that you can feed yourself. Look at your face, big eyes, big nose, and big ears. Put the upper ear and the lower nose, so you can call it Yuer nose."

After finishing speaking, he looked down at Liu Bao who was kneeling on the ground, thought for a while and said, "Since His Royal Highness Wang Sun's surname is the national surname bestowed by Emperor Xiaoling, it is not convenient for Tao to change it. Your surname is still Liu. The leopard in the name is gone. Change to the word tiger. It’s okay to use more small animals in the name of the humble. I will add the word bi to you, which is more in line with your status as a slave. Taboo on the tiger and taboo on the bottom, Wang Sun How about changing the name to Liu Hubi?"

Liu Bao nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and said, "It's a good start, it's a good start."

"Yu Erbi! Liu Hubi! Haha, Prince Yu, are you satisfied with these two names?" The pottery merchant looked at Yu Fuluo with a smile and said.

Yu Fuluo looked at the potter quietly, although when he heard the potter said these two names, they followed the rules of the Han Dynasty for the names of humble people, but looking at his smiling face that never stopped, Yu Fuluo I don't know why, but there is an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.

Why does it always feel like something is wrong?

The names given to Yu Fuluo and Liu Bao by the potters are still in line with the current law.

At that time, the living conditions of ordinary people in society were relatively difficult, either because their families were poor or because of poor social medical conditions, many children died early at birth, and the probability of survival was six to seven out of ten, so many Han people gave their children some The humble name means that the child is easy to feed, can be physically strong, and live to adulthood.

"Ugly names" and "stinky names" were widely used in the Han Dynasty, and even some high-level dignitaries followed this rule when they gave their children baby names.

For example, Liu Qi, the father of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, also gave Liu Che the nickname "Liu Zhi". meaning.Therefore, without the constraints of the feudal system, modern people can also affectionately call Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Zhu.

Sima Xiangru, a master of romantic and suave rhetoric, his parents gave him a "dirty name" called "Dog Zi" when he was a child. Under the premise of not being restrained by the feudal system, everyone can call him "Sima Gouzi" affectionately.

The empress of the Han Dynasty, Lv Zhi, has a deep palace. The "pheasant" in her name means "pheasant" in popular folklore. Without the constraints of the feudal system, we can call him "Queen of Pheasant" affectionately.

Of course, there are also some names that were not cheap at the time, but with the development and reform of characters for thousands of years, they have become slightly ambiguous in the eyes of modern people. For example, the aunt and mother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Princess Guantao, her name is Liu. visit a prostitute.

It's so sour to be called "whoring princess" by others every day.

He ordered people to quickly take out the prepared clothes and give them to Yu Erbi and Liu Hubi to change into. After the two hurriedly refitted, they also became ordinary Xuzhou army soldiers. What omission.

After checking the two subdued house slaves, the pottery merchant nodded in satisfaction when he felt that there were no flaws, then turned to Xu Rong and said, "Don't mention this to Han Hao, send someone to watch them carefully, let's go. "

Xu Rong responded, and Fang wanted to command the troops to turn back, but Yu Fu didn't agree, so he should be called Yu Er Nose now.

Yu Erbi ran quickly to the side of the potter's horse, and immediately two Xuzhou soldiers stopped him.

But Yu Er Nose didn't care, he just raised his head and shouted at the potter: "The son of the official of the Han Dynasty!"

"My son." The potter corrected him slowly.

"Young master, what should I do with my remaining subordinates?"

The potter turned his head slowly and looked at Yu Er Nose: "The choice is yours, what do you want to do? Let me lead them all to see Qu Yi, or let them find their own way out now?"

Hearing the words, Yu's ears and noses couldn't help being silent.

It took only a cup of tea, and the ear and nose made up their minds.

"For the sake of the lives of my father and son, please don't let me live!"

The Tao merchant looked at Yu Ernai's eyes, and the sharp cold light flashed away.

It's really non-toxic and not a husband, for the sake of my own life and the lives of my subordinates, if you don't want it, then don't.

"It doesn't matter, they are all your subordinates, you decide for yourself." The potter turned his head and gave Xu Rong a wink, Xu Rong understood, nodded and went to arrange.

Those Huns who burned, killed and looted in the Han territory were not good cakes, and they didn't cherish their ears and noses. There was no need for potters to bother about them.

After dealing with these, Tao Shang and Xu Rong led [-] Xuzhou soldiers back to the battlefield in Fenshui.

On the way, Xu Rong quietly asked the potter, "My lord has put in so much effort and made a fuss for a long time, just to take Yu Fuluo down."

The pottery merchant gave Xu Rong a dissatisfied look.

Xu Rong immediately changed his tone: "It's just that I want to take down the father and son of Yu Erbi, but I don't understand. What do you want these two people for?"

The pottery merchant said slowly: "Half of it is for the future of the world, and half is for the future of Xuzhou."

Obviously, Xu Rong didn't quite understand the meaning of the potter's words.

The potter patiently explained to Xu Rong: "Although the royal court of the Southern Huns formally surrendered to the great Han, the world is in chaos now, and the princes are at the same time. They are likely to take advantage of the chaos and refuse to obey the control of our Han court. Although he is only a prince in exile, he still has the right to inherit Shan Yu in name, and he will be detained in Xuzhou first, in case the Southern Xiongnu royal court rebels in the future, at least I can hold an opportunity for the court to divide the Xiongnu."

Xu Rong suddenly realized when he heard the words, he didn't expect Mr. Tao to be in this season, and he still has the heart to seek foreigners for the world!

Thinking of this, Xu Rong couldn't help feeling a little admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Then what did Xuzhou say?"

The pottery merchant said slowly: "Xuzhou is located in the southeast, and when you come to the Huaijiang River, there is not much shortage of other things, but all the horses used in the army are from the south. Compared with the cavalry in the north and northwest, there is a big gap. Although there is a horseshoe that can reduce the loss of horses, the elite cavalry still has to rely on northern horses to form this little Hun prince. After running to Han for so many years, he has never been short of horses. If I guessed right, he On the Mobei Grassland, there must be some channels for buying horses, I don’t think it should be wasted.”

Chapter 156 Ghost Talents

After leaving the canyon and coming to the side of the Fenhe Plain, the troops led by Qu Yi had wiped out all the Southern Huns, and the soldiers were taking care of the battlefield at the moment. In addition to the invincible ability, there are also Han Hao's Taishan soldiers who also performed outstandingly, and Xu Huang himself, holding a mountain-breaking axe, followed the brigade to kill more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry, which is also impressive. .
