The next morning, the army returned in triumphantly, mainly to Beiyu County, the naturalized Hu people who still lived here. They also took the initiative to come forward and accepted the Xianbei women who had lost their families.

Most of the people who can go south are young and strong, most of them are more men and few women, many of them are bachelors, and they are all Xianbei people, so before Liu Tao left Beiyu County, there were more than twenty pairs who were successfully matched.

There are also some who are too young or don’t want to get married so soon. Liu Tao said that no one is allowed to interfere in their marriage. This is thankful to these women. After all, as a spoil, they have no choice.

"I thought, how many you would want to go back?" On the way back, Liu Tao looked at Lu Bu.

He once promised that if the team leader is above, he could choose a Xianbei girl to go back. It doesn’t matter whether she is a maid or a concubine, or a wife. After all, these women are all part of the ‘war bonus’.

"I already have a wife at home." Lu Bu shook his head, "Besides, I can't stand those Xianbei girls very much."

"In the border counties, we don't really have a good impression of the Xianbei." Wei Xu stepped forward and explained, "Unless we really have no choice, we will not choose Xianbei women."

After fighting each other for so many years and so many people on both sides, it would be strange if they had a good impression of each other.

The previous commander of Yunzhong had never given these naturalized Hu people a Chinese copy by borrowing the Han Rule, and even went south to hijack the young naturalized Hu people, which may not have been left unwilling.

"According to the subordinates' understanding, shouldn't the prefect be Gongyang Ru?" Lu Bu also took the opportunity to ask, "Didn't Gongyang Ru, advocate the ninth generation of revenge, and can you revenge?"

"Why would I accept those naturalized Hu people and even give them Chinese books?" Liu Tao asked back.

"This is what my subordinates meant." Lu Bu also boldly admitted it.

"According to the original Yunzhong Duwei, and even yours, you are physically trying to eliminate the Xianbei to complete the great revenge. But on the issue, you did not find out whether the Xianbei should come or not, and it will only become more and more cruel?" Liu Tao asked back.

"This..." Lu Bu couldn't refute this view, because it was true. The deeper the fight, the deeper the hatred of everyone would be. In the end, it became a mortal hatred that never ended, and it felt endless.

"What I advocate is to eliminate them spiritually." Liu Tao smiled, "Now there are a group of Han people under my command, and there are a group of tribesmen missing from the Xianbei side. Ten years, twenty years, one hundred years have passed, and perhaps there is no Xianbei nation on the grassland..."

"But... they are still Xianbei people, right? They are different from us Han people in appearance..." Lu Bu tried to refute.

"Fengxian, then tell me..." Liu Tao asked back, "What is the nation? Bloodline, appearance, or custom?"

"I... I can't answer yet. Please give it to me for a while and think about it." Lu Bu tried to answer several times, but in the end he didn't know how to answer.

The conversation between the two did not hide the people around them. Obviously, after hearing this argument, many people were thinking about it. Some people also figured it out, such as Guo Jia.

It is also possible that the answer doesn’t matter. The key is what answer Liu Tao thinks is, so they agree with the answer.

After returning to Yunzhong, Liu Tao immediately ordered to find a large mansion in Yunzhong and announced the establishment of Yunzhong County Orphanage.

The less than 200 Xianbei children captured were taken away by their mothers or sisters, and hundreds of people were taken back by him and placed in an orphanage, where the government paid to raise these children.

After all, they are still young. In two years, they will almost begin to enlightenment. At that time, they will have to receive education from Han people and receive education as a Han person.

Liu Tao even named them according to the surnames of Liu, Lu, Guan and Zhang, regardless of whether they had names or not. The three brothers agreed to this decision. If we really think about it, the major families actually have the habit of raising orphans.

However, as servants, most of them are orphans raised since childhood, and are more loyal than servants bought the day after tomorrow.

"I didn't expect that the lord really opened an orphanage." Guo Jia looked at the orphanage that was being built in front of him, and looked at Liu Tao beside him and sighed.

"In the long run, this is a sure profit-making business. Not only these Xianbei orphans, but also the soldiers who died, their wives and children will be taken in. The government will be responsible for the living expenses of the children until they are crowned." Liu Tao said casually.

"Just like this, it is easy to become the political achievement of the next prefect." Guo Jia joked.

"Then you have to find a way to make the next prefect unable to take office..." Liu Tao said casually, "The big men in the court can really sit still..."

"I guess I can't sit still anymore, but His Majesty suddenly died. There are still some problems." Guo Jia returned, "Since Emperor Zhi was poisoned by Liang Ji, this method has been spread. Although Liang Ji's reputation has been corrupt, he also gave the people behind him a warning."

Using this method, it would probably be like Liang Ji, and his reputation would be destroyed. If Liu Hong died suddenly, many people might think of who poisoned him, who would then rise to power, or even who became a powerful minister like Liang Ji, and they would probably be criticized by scholars all over the world. It was not that they didn't want to use it, but that they couldn't use it. This is the most depressing thing about scholars in the capital.

If you can't poison, you can only change the method, such as female sex. This is how Emperor Huan died. He died at the age of 36. Compared to Emperor Zhi of Han who died at the age of eight, he was "death without regrets".

His Majesty is actually almost like this. Liu Tao also feels that even if others don’t attack, he will probably only live in his thirties, and this is indeed the case in history.

"It's just that there is still a gap between Your Majesty and the late emperor." Liu Tao replied.

"After all, the late emperor did not leave any descendants. Now, although several princes died young in the early days, two princes grew up healthy. If the two princes became adults, His Majesty could be tough and paved the way for them for a while..." Guo Jia nodded.

After all, it is very likely that the Han Dynasty has revived and the emperors of recent generations have not seemed to be able to leave behind children. Most of them were selected from the clans. When it comes to His Majesty's side, this situation may be broken.

In a sense, Liu Hong has become more tough recently, and it is very likely that he is paving the way for the two princes.

"So even if there is something wrong with Your Majesty, the two princes will become heirs. The eldest son Liu Bian is already ten years old (Xu Sui)..." Liu Tao sighed. When Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

According to history, Liu Hong died in 189, and Liu Bian succeeded to the throne at the age of 14 (Xu Sui). Although there are rumors, Liu Hong actually passed the throne to Liu Xie, but the Ten Eunuchs changed the edict... The problem has no evidence in itself and no evidence is needed.

"So, the two princes are afraid that the lord's great cause will be the biggest obstacle, so please make a decision early." Guo Jia whispered.
