After the letter from Liangzhou was sent, Shao Xun read it twice carefully.
Yu Mi focused on Zhang Jun's requirements, mainly three.
1. Liangzhou Mu, the governor of the eleven counties in Liangzhou, can be appointed as an official by the governor once he is captured.
Second, give him a scepter and grant him arbitrary power west of Qinzhou. This is asking for jurisdiction over the Western Regions.
Third, the title of Xiping County Duke was granted. The previous title belonged to the Jin Dynasty, and the title must be re-canonized in the new dynasty.
In fact, it is mainly the first two conditions. This is because he wants to be the local overlord of Liangzhou and the governor of Hexi Province. If these requirements can be met, Liangzhou will surrender to the new dynasty as a whole.
But in this case, how different is Liangzhou from Tuoba Daiguo? Maybe not as good.
At least, Shao Xun can still influence his internal affairs through Sha Sha and his "friendship" with Mrs. Wang.
Although the Chanyu Protectorate is weak and is vaguely resisted by some Suotou nobles, its existence itself is a victory. The longer it lasts, the greater its effect will be.
"Arrogant and arrogant!" Shao Xun threw the letter on the bed, snorted coldly, and said, "Look at it."
There were several sons present, from the eldest to the eighth. The oldest, Jin Dao, was twenty years old, and the youngest, A Guan, was only ten years old. He obviously focused on participating and came to feel the atmosphere in advance.
Jin Dao was the first to pick up the letter, read it carefully, and then passed it to the second child.
Shao Xun came outside the study with his hands behind his back.
This is the General's Mansion, located within the palace city, not far from Tai Chi Hall. It has been built for many years, but he has only been here a few times.
Now when he returned to Luoyang Palace, it was like returning to his own home, so he moved here and took his son who was over ten years old with him.
When he was in charge of government, after his sons were studying, practicing martial arts and governing, he would call the children over and give them a test, focusing on teaching them through words and deeds.
Yang Xianrong stood outside, looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar in trance.
This is the former mistress of Dapu Palace.
"What are you thinking about?" Shao Xun asked softly.
Yang Xianrong turned to look at him and said, "I regret it."
"Regret?" Shao Xun said happily.
"I regret that I didn't see your true face clearly." When Yang Xianrong spoke, he felt like he was gritting his teeth: "Taiji Palace killed Sima Yi's gang members, and when you prostrated yourself in front of me, I would have said good things for you. If I had known better,
I’ll kick you to death.”
"Changqiu, why reward me?" Shao Xun said with a smile.
Yang Xianrong wanted to laugh, but felt that he should be angry. After struggling for a long time, he sighed.
"Aguan is here, why don't you go take a look?" Shao Xun asked.
"Your son, you can teach him yourself." Yang Xianrong said angrily.
Shao Xun was speechless. Isn't this your son too?
Maybe it’s not a bad thing to have a mother like you in A Guan Tan.
Among the girls in the harem, Yang Xianrong is definitely the type of person who considers her own feelings more.
It seems that it doesn't matter whether they have children or not. If Shao Xun hadn't insisted on her having children, Yang Xianrong might not have been willing to give birth to these two sons and a daughter. The daughter died five years ago.
"Aren't you going to go on an expedition next?" Seeing that Shao Xun remained silent for a long time, Yang Xianrong turned around and asked.
"If I don't go out to fight anymore, I'm afraid my life will be shortened if I lead the troops again." Shao Xun joked: "I can't afford to die, and I don't have the right to die."
Yang Xianrong pinched him. Seeing Shao Xun's brows frowning slightly, he gently stroked the pinched area and said, "If you don't go to war, just stay in Luoyang."
After saying that, he gently stroked Shao Xun's face and said, "You are also forty. How do you make the generals and governors think that you are always on your own expeditions?"
Shao Xun nodded and said: "Actually, the reason why we don't go on an expedition is because there are more important things."
"Du Tian?" Yang Xianrong asked.
Shao Xun was a little surprised.
"You always have trouble when you accompany me." Yang Xianrong sneered: "Didn't you already ask the Yang family to show favor? Who can stop Du Tian?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Xun took two steps closer and asked in a low voice: "What's the inside story?"
"Do you still look like an emperor?" Yang Xianrong poked Shao Xun with his finger and said: "The important affairs of the country,
He actually asked the woman for advice."
Shao Xun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Changqiu, you are not simple. Back then, you led Sima Tan straight to the funeral, intending to support the new king. Men are not as courageous as you."
Yang Xianrong was in a daze. After a long time, he seemed a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I had no choice but to fight to the death. I have been crippled so many times, and you didn't come to save me."
Shao Xun looked into the distance, as if observing the scenery.
"Hebei Yiyi" After a moment of silence, Yang Xianrong said: "Pengzu bought a lot of property in Yecheng, and he will be the ancestor of the Yang family in Wei County from now on."
Yang Pengzu is a sheep. He has served as the prefect of Qinghe, the prefect of Anping, and last year he was transferred to the prefect of Julu. He basically stayed in Hebei.
His native place is still in Taishan County. According to the meaning of Yang Xianrong, he will be settled in Wei County in the future and form a separate branch.
This separation is effective.
Like the Yingchuan Yu family and the Xinye Yu family, they were the same family during the Later Han Dynasty. Do they have any contact with each other now? Very few.
As long as they don't join the clan, they will always be two families - as of now, the Xinye Yu family has no intention of joining the Yingchuan Yu family.
"Zu Yan (Yang Man) bought a property in Bianliang. According to the clan's wishes, from now on it will be the Chenliu Yang clan," Yang Xianrong continued: "The branch of Changhe Gong (Yang Chen) settled in Luoyang.
He is the Yang family of Henan."
"Jingqi (Yangjian) originally wanted to settle in Anping, but he wanted to have a smooth career and was too smart. He planned to settle in Taiyuan, and became the Taiyuan Yang family."
"My uncle (Yang Jiezhi) is still the Yang family of Taiyang. The rest of his descendants, including those who have gone south to build Ye, all go to Jiangnan."
There are too many sheep families, and there are also many officials.
Some of their great-grandfathers and grandfathers had a life worth two thousand stones, and they were extremely glorious.
Some grandfathers' generation is not well-known, but their descendants gradually become more popular, giving their family a greater say in the clan.
In short, the Yang family has a great cause. After being divided into five branches: Weijun, Chenliu, Henan, Taiyuan, Taishan and Jiangnan branches, it is still quite powerful.
In fact, they were originally divided into many branches. Now the separation only makes them unable to eat, worship together, support each other, and gradually become alienated.
This is a long-term job.
If we can set a good example, it will have a profound impact on the future.
"I will never treat the Yang family badly." Shao Xun gently grabbed Yang Xianrong's hand and said, "After the family separation, it will actually be good for the Yang family."
"You've got a good deal and you behave well." Yang Xianrong glanced at him and said.
"Wrong." Shao Xun said seriously.
Seeing his look, Yang Xianrong knew what he was going to say, but she just wanted to hear it and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The biggest advantage I got from the Yang family is you." Shao Xun said with a smile, and then whispered: "You will stay in the General's Mansion these days, don't go back to Pan Yuan."
After saying that, he returned to the study feeling refreshed.
The elders had finished reading and were whispering to each other when they saw Shao Xun entering.
Shao Xun sat back behind the desk, pointed at the letter, and said, "Have you read them all?"
"Finished reading."
"Golden Sword, you come first. Let's pass the test one by one today." Shao Xun said.
"Father." Jin Dao stood up, saluted, and said, "I thought we should send troops to suppress him."
"Why?"
"At the time of the revolution between the old and the new, if you use appeasement, it will be a bad start." Jin Dao said: "Future generations will see this, and maybe they will tolerate it all the way. This will cause endless disasters."
"Not bad." Shao Xun praised.
From this perspective, there is still some truth.
Jin Dao also has a relatively high intention and sees far. This son is really good, and his careful teaching is worthy of it.
"Lang, it's your turn." Shao Xun said again.
Guan Lang stood up silently and said: "Father, I think that I should follow the story of Daiguo and set up a Protectorate in order to manage the tribes of Xihai, Wuwei and Dunhuang counties. Or I can go across Liangzhou and directly contact Zhao Zhen and Li Bai.
, Set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Jinchang or Gaochang, make friends with the generals, chiefs, and powerful families, set up military towns, and take back Liangzhou bit by bit."
"How likely is this strategy to work do you think?" Shao Xun asked.
"Dai Guoyi—" Lang said.
"I have conquered the country twice for my father, and now I am in such a situation. How can it be the same?" Shao Xun asked in a more serious tone.
"I know I was wrong." Lang lowered his head and said.
Shao Xun tapped his index finger on the table, and after a long time he said: "Guan Lang, you like to play with these tricks too much. In times of peace and prosperity, you may be able to engage in some secret deeds, which are called power schemes. But in times of great strife, the atmosphere is very different from that of peace and prosperity.
year,
You are trying to find a sword by carving a boat."
"It is good to be able not to use force, but you must have the courage to use force. Once my father decides to use force, he will not only take Zhang Jun into consideration, but also keep an eye on the Guanxi and Xianbei tribes who are suppressing the rebellion. He will do a good job before sending troops
We have made preparations for them to rebel together. What if we fight again at worst? Think about it carefully."
"Yes." Lang responded.
Shao Xunfu looked at Nianliu and said, "Sanlang."
Nian Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, my son's strategy is very similar to that of my second brother, and even worse, but I dare not say it."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good." Shao Xun knocked on the table and said: "Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It is better to be beaten by your father for a few words than to make bigger mistakes in the future. Come and tell me."
"I feel that I should agree to what Zhang Jun asked for." Nianliu said bravely: "I will not give him the governorship, but make him the governor and governor. After a little stability, the imperial court can issue the "Liangzhou Seeking Talents Edict".
Send people to the west to investigate. When the elders in the state hear the news, they will rush to tell each other and be overjoyed. The court can select the best and hire them to win the hearts of Liangzhou. Even Zhang Jun cannot stop this, and he cannot offend the public."
"In the future, when we march south to Jiangdong, we can order Liangzhou to send troops. On the day of the squadron, we will reward them generously and comfort them well. In this way,
Then the strong men in Liangzhou know that there is a court, and when they return to the state, there will be a group discussion."
"Is it over?" Shao Xun asked after waiting for a long time and seeing no further words.
"It's over." Nian Liu's face was a little red, and there were slight beads of sweat on his forehead. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun suddenly stood up and walked around the room.
Guan Lang glanced at his third brother quietly, his expression a little complicated.
He is not stupid and knows that the third brother's strategy is gentler and has a higher probability of success.
Shao Xun finally stopped in front of Hutou and said: "Fourth, it's your turn."
"Master, take advantage of the strength of the founding army to finish the battles that need to be fought." Hutou said: "Let the Tuoba clan send troops from Yinshan and go around Juyanhai to attack Wuwei. The main force of Master Wang will go to Anding and march towards Wuwei.
Go straight to the west and cross the Yellow River; send another division from the direction of Qinzhou to attack Jincheng and other counties. If you advance in three directions, victory is certain.'
Shao Xun laughed and said, "It's useless to ask you. I think others were thinking about war or peace just now, but you are already thinking about how to deploy troops and generals. You are only thirteen years old, how can you have such a murderous nature? Jing
What has Feng Ping taught you?"
"My mother is sleepy and doesn't teach me anything." Hutou felt a little aggrieved.
Shao Xun laughed even harder.
After a long time, he stopped smiling, looked at Lao Wu, and said, "Chunlang, what do you have in mind?"
The fifth child, Shao Yan, was also born to Concubine Pei and was only twelve years old this year. Shao Xun looked at him with encouraging eyes. The requirements were not high, as long as he could be logical and fluent.
Chunlang looked at his brothers and said softly: "Master, the founding of the country is very important right now, so it is not appropriate to use weapons lightly."
Shao Xun hesitated and said, "Not bad."
Chunlang raised his head in surprise, but unexpectedly Shao Xun had already turned away, feeling a little disappointed.
"Liang Nu, tell me." Shao Xun looked at his eldest son with expectant eyes.
"Father, you can hang Zhang Jun first and make a fool of yourself." Liang Nu said: "Then let the surrounding counties secretly stockpile food, grass and equipment. After the founding of the country, count his crimes, issue an edict to punish him, and launch a surprise attack with lightning speed."
"Not bad." Shao Xun said with a smile: "This strategy has considerable merits."
Shao Xun then looked at Lao Qi and Lao Ba.
They are younger, and it is quite difficult for them to participate in such a big event. They just follow the crowd and either fight or caress.
Shao Xun encouraged him a few words and sat back down again.
"I just listened to other people's strategies. Can each of us gain something?" Shao Xun looked at the group and asked.
"Yes." The grown-ups responded in unison.
"Okay." Shao Xun smiled happily and said, "My father's idea is that we must fight. If we don't fight, there will be people who will separate themselves in the future. But we can't just beat without caressing. As the saying goes, use both suppression and caressing.
