Everyone was talking and all expressed doubts.

After all, I just understood that the four grassland families were guided by Liu Sheng and explained the overall situation of the grassland.

But now Liu Kun suddenly spoke and said something except Liu Sheng, no one else could outline the outline in his brain for a while, and he had no idea.

After pondering, Liu Sheng asked, "What do you mean is that the Murong tribe is uneasy and wants to attack the Qipeng Yicong and occupy the land, so that Goguryeo will attack Pingzhou first to be a test?"

"That's true, and not only that, the situation in Pingzhou has been heard a little bit. I don't know if there has been any changes in the past year, but a year ago, it was quite chaotic. Although there was a governor of Pingzhou, Deng Fei, here, this governor is more of a name, and his actual jurisdiction is very narrow. Not to mention Pingzhou, even two counties are very reluctant."

Liu Sheng said: "This is normal. At that time, Wang Jun was known as the governor of You and Ping, but his control over Pingzhou may not be greater than that of the two counties. In the final analysis, it was because there were too many Hu people, and the tribes were scattered on the land of Pingzhou, scattered, not as easy as registering households and Qi people, but nominally belonging to the court. The title of Pingzhou Governor is often just a name, which was an excuse for Wang Jun to oppress and coerce from many Hu tribes."

“Good knowledge.”

Liu Kun was a little surprised again. He admired the scholar more and more. He thought in his mind that such an insightful person was actually wandering in a small town on the border. He was really a secret pearl. I don’t know if he could take it for himself, but these thoughts were not reflected in his face.

With a compliment, Liu Kun said: "It is true that the governor of Pingzhou was a title in the past, but Wang Jun's strength was real. He used his troops as long swords to suppress all tribes in Pingzhou. No one dared to refuse to obey the orders. Therefore, Pingzhou has many miscellaneous Hus, but during the time of Wang Jun's command, he still followed the orders of Youzhou and could be called the land of the court."

Chen Sheng asked: "General Chen defeated Wang Jun and forced him to retreat to Tuoba's army and suppress Murong's army. In terms of prestige, his combat power is even stronger than Wang Jun's force. Could it be that Pingzhou would dare not obey the orders issued by General Zhengbei?" As he said that, his eyes staring at Liu Kun.

Not only this scholar, but the onlookers all looked at Liu Kun with a look of attention and waited for him to answer.

"The General's Mansion in the North, and the General's Mansion that strengthened himself," Liu Kun confirmed the relationship between strength and weakness first. He noticed that the people around him were eyeing him, and he was afraid that he would say a little wrong with the Chen family, and he would be about to attack with the verbal guns. He couldn't help but sigh at the reputation of Chen among the people, and then changed his tone, "It was only since General Chen was in charge of Youzhou, but he was very restrained, and the troops were insufficient at that time, so he gathered his strength and reduced the strength of Youzhou a lot."

Seeing that someone couldn't help but refute, Liu Kun took the opportunity and said: "I came to Youzhou a few years ago. Now I'm traveling again, but I feel that the world is overturned. Even the frontiers are rich. It can be seen that General Chen is in power for the people. In recent years, he has spent all his thoughts on improving the welfare of the people, ensuring your food, clothing and food, and constraining the three generations of governance. This kind of governance of the people is the pursuit of scholars, but he kills the enemy and destroys Hu Cizhi. I think General Chen has reduced his foreign troops for the sake of the people of Youzhou..."

Sure enough, after saying this, everyone immediately turned angry and happy, nodded in agreement.

After all, the improvement of their living standards is clearly visible. Since ancient times, the evaluation of the rulers has not been limited to martial arts, but more about virtue and civil governance.

What is virtue? It is morality and character.

If one person governs his or her morality is education, and character is good governance.

As the herdsmen educated, the people of Youzhou became more knowledgeable and good at governing, so the land of Youzhou became richer.

Even Liu Qun had to admire his father's remarks. As soon as he spoke a few words, he became acquainted with the masses.

Liu Kun then began to explain his point of view: "There has been reduced in foreign troops. In the places where they were originally controlled, there will inevitably be power gaps, causing regional chaos. This is the case in the northern grassland, and the same is true for Pingzhou. I heard that Yuwen's ministry finally surrendered after fleeing eastward and was placed in Pingzhou by General Chen, close to Youzhou. In fact, it is the same as the seventh rank. It is to isolate Youzhou from the chaotic land by Yuwen's ministry. While ensuring the stability of Youzhou, Pingzhou is no longer controlled, so the Murong family stole the big companion."

"At present, the governor of the imperial court is actually weak, while Murong is strong. Murong let Goguryeo attack, in addition to temptation, is he trying to completely occupy Pingzhou?" The previous farmer raised another question.

Liu Kun looked at him and shook his head and said, "There are many Hus in Pingzhou. The land cannot be said to be barren, but it is not a rich place. Murong's strong robbery may not be intended to be here, but more of it is used as a pedal. Once Youzhou does not respond, the Murong tribe will definitely go further, attack the Yuwen tribe in the east, and then advance to the seventh rank in the north, and its purpose..."

The farmer and everyone seemed to understand, and he said, "We must occupy the territory of the seventh rank of Yichi and then seize the land and population of the Yuwen Ministry?"

Liu Kun still shook his head, looked at Liu Sheng who was gradually becoming solemn, and said word by word: "The seventh rank and Yuwen are behind the General Zhengbei Mansion. If Murong moved these two families, he would inevitably provoke the General Mansion. How big is this? How could he just want to seize one or two grasslands and the land of Pingzhou? It is clearly intended to be Youzhou!"

"Dare they touch Youzhou?"

"In recent years, Murong's army has never dared to approach Youzhou's territory. Can they have such thoughts?"

"They have been scared by the general for a long time. The only tribe with names on the grassland is the most honest!"

...

Everyone felt a little incredible. After they thought that the Murong tribe had been taught a lesson once, they had become honest. However, the Tuoba tribe and the Huns often had movements. Why would anyone now infer that the Murong tribe was willing to invade Youzhou?

"This is not a question of whether the Murong tribe is brave, but an inevitable result of the tribe's development to a certain extent," Liu Kun said without caring about the doubts and surprises of the people, "If the Murong tribe wants to grow, it needs a population. Its ministry advocates sinicization, including nomadic, fishing, hunting, and farming. After several years of war and annexation, it is already a large population. This is also the reason why Murong's ability to suppress the other families and establishes a general trend on the grassland is that they have the energy to interfere in the Northeast region. But at the same time, the population can become a force, but it is also a burden. Each person needs not much rations. Together, it is a huge number. The grassland and Pingzhou are barren, with limited output and cannot be supported for a long time."

Liu Sheng also nodded and said, "The Murong tribe expanded rapidly, annexed other tribes, and received populations and cattle and sheep. More and more people were needed, and more and more food and grass were needed. In the past, relying on continuous expansion, absorbed new tribes and used the food accumulation accumulated by the conquered tribes for many years to maintain their own stability and provide food for the tribe. However, now the four grassland families have taken shape, and there are not many scattered small tribes. They will either be swallowed or attached. The Murong tribe will find it difficult to obtain a new storage, and they may face a food crisis. It is not impossible to have the intention of going south to plunder at this time!"
