"From Yunzhong and Wuyuan to Hanyang for more than two thousand miles in the west, the Xiongnu planted Qiang and took advantage of the land. They were plagued by gangrene and disease of the Han Dynasty, and they were stranded and threatened."
"It is a lie to let Meng Sun enter the Imperial Academy, and it is true to use it to test the court's tone." Liu Yu passed the memorial to Xun You on the opposite side and said slowly: "This person's intentions are unpredictable. I'm afraid he wants to return to Nandan. In the court."
The emperor smiled without comment, and then asked another question: "Where is Humphrey now?"
Jia Xu bowed and said: "According to Geng Weiwei, Zhao Yilang and others, the Huns Yu Fuluo kidnapped Zhang Yang and rebelled against Yuan Shao last year and broke through the Liyang camp. They were later defeated by Cao Cao and are now missing. I heard that Yu Fuluo once Combined with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, the Hanoi Yellow Turbans are now attacked by Yuan Shao. They have no one to rely on. They can either go north to join Zhang Yan or go south. And Yuan Shao will launch troops against the Black Mountain Army next year. At the beginning of the war, they will not If you rush north, you should go south."
"A few days ago, in order to support the imperial court, Yuan Shu condemned Yuan Shao for the attack on Liu Gong in Jizhou, so he sent troops to Chen Liu." Xun You said slowly: "Presumably Yu Fuluo learned about this, crossed the river south, and joined Yuan Shu's army. went."
"I remember that Yu Fuluo participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he can be regarded as a righteous soldier." Liu Yu was displeased and said coldly: "Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to raise his troops to rebel. Not only did he plunder his subjects, but he even colluded with moths. Thief. I thought he would recognize the situation this time and denounce Yuan Shao together, but unexpectedly he went south without saying a word."
Xun You frowned slightly and calmly ignored Liu Yufa's complaints and said: "Back then, the Southern Huns were in internal strife, and their countrymen revolted and killed the old Chanyu. Yu Fuluo, as his son, should succeed to the throne and rebelled. The emperor was worried about revenge, so he established a new chanyu. There was no hope for Yu Fuluo's restoration, so he had to go south to ask the court for justice... At that time, the court was in chaos, and Yu Fuluo's request for help was fruitless, so he had to flee to Hedong, Hanoi and other places. Now they Scurrying into the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Chenliu, the Xiongnu are wild and untamable, and Yanzhou, which has finally been stabilized, may start another war."
"They only have more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and their armor is rotten. Even if Yuan Shu provides him with support and Cao Cao supervises Yanzhou's military, I don't think he can make any trouble." The emperor thought for a while and said: "Let it go. He must be running around in the Central Plains, and the imperial court is taking advantage of the absence of the Shanyu's son to deal with the mess of the Southern Huns first."
"That's what your Majesty said." Xun You sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said: "At present, among the various ethnic groups in Bingzhou, Xianbei is close to the outside of the fortress, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Within Bingzhou, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are the most dominant. At present, the Xiongnu During the civil strife, Wuhuan's power has become weak, while Wuhuan's power is strong. As soon as the officials and soldiers of the imperial court enter Bingzhou, they should not face the powerful enemy directly and provoke Wuhuan, so as not to start a snipe-clam dispute with their followers. If you want to establish your own prestige, you should Put the Xiongnu first."
The emperor asked softly: "What should we do with this Qibei? Send him back to the Huns?" As he said, the emperor pointed to the memorial that was returned to him after being circulated and said: "He even handed over his proton."
"I believe that since they have shown their loyalty, the imperial court should repay them with sincerity." As the governor of Bingzhou, Liu Yu did a lot of research on Bingzhou during his stay in Chang'an. Based on his experience in Youzhou From the perspective of governance concepts and experience, it is not difficult to manage Bingzhou: "For the current plan, the top priority should be to win over people's hearts. The imperial court should send back Qubei to show its sincerity, and then send envoys to persuade the tribes to submit. , restore the system of contributions from vassals and rewards from the imperial court, in order to appease the hearts of foreigners. Then we will focus on farming and cultivating mulberry trees, cultivate the people's strength, and there will be peace within a few years."
Allowing all ethnic groups to submit to the imperial court was based on great martial arts and overwhelming force. The previous imperial court could not completely control it, let alone now that the world is divided and the strength is not as good as the previous imperial court?
Although Liu Yu was good at dealing with foreigners, he only knew how to be gentle and did not know how to demonstrate. It seemed that he had to send a military commander to accompany him to help him, so as to combine his strength and softness. This military commander should at least have Gongsun Zan's military strategy, but not Gongsun Zan's violence.
The most important thing is that he must be the emperor's confidant...
The emperor was thinking about who was the suitable candidate, but he smiled on his face and did not rush to evaluate Liu Yu's words. Instead, he asked Xun You and Jia Xu: "Mr. Xun, what do you think Mr. Jia Xu said?"
Jia Xu was sitting under Xun You. Hearing this, he glanced at Xun You and smiled, indicating that he would go first.
So Xun Youfang said loudly: "It is not appropriate for the imperial court to raise weapons against the tribes in Bingzhou at the moment, so the best strategy is to recruit people from far away to win over them. However, if you blindly win over them without restraint, it will only allow their power to grow, and even if the imperial court is pacified by then,
Civil strife will also bring about another powerful enemy. I believe that we must be gentle when dealing with the Xiongnu tribes, but while being gentle, we should also divide and rule them for my use."
"Divide and rule, this is a feasible method." The emperor thought thoughtfully, nodded, and asked Jia Xu: "They all say that the Xiongnu in Bingzhou are weak, but I don't know how weak they are? If we divide and rule, they may refuse
Do you want to obey? You must first know the details of the other party before you can make a suitable strategy."
Stabilizing Liang and merging the Qiang and Hu tribes has been a major issue that the emperor has long proposed to solve urgently. Jia Xu has always taken it to heart. These days, his supervisor Pingzhun is walking around the barbarian mansion, going back and forth between the Qiang and Hu tribes, and they are generally aware of the situation of merging the states.
Got a clear understanding.
At this time, when he heard the emperor's question, Jia Xu cupped his hands and replied: "In order to attack Zhang Chun and Xianbei, the imperial court mobilized troops to the Xiongnu. As a result, the southern Xiongnu could not bear the disturbance. Their subordinate tribes slaughtered various barbarians and attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the governor.
Yu Qiangqu established the Chanyu Xubu Guduhou and was killed within a year. Now the position of the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu has been suspended, and his only blood relative Yufuluo fled to Yanzhou. In order to compete for power, they have repeatedly launched internal attacks.
During the war, the Wuhuan and other tribes often invaded and merged, so that the people and horses were trapped, and the name was just a name."
Due to climate changes at the end of the Han Dynasty, the arrival of the second Little Ice Age not only affected the people in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, but also put the lives of these foreign races into trouble. They were short of food and grass, and their armor was rotten, so that their combat effectiveness was low, and they looked like wandering bandits.
They were still plundering everywhere, but they didn't have the momentum of the Wu Huan Dynasty hundreds of years later. They were also no match for the imperial army at this time.
The Southern Xiongnu had surrendered to the imperial court for nearly two hundred years. As long as they had enough interests, they could gradually divide their internal ranks and win over friendly forces without spending a single soldier.
The emperor then raised his hand and said: "The Huns are discordant, and it is suitable for the imperial court to divide them and suppress them one by one."
Thinking of this, the emperor made a decision in the eyes of everyone: "In this case, let Meng Sun enter the Imperial Academy, let him study Ming Dynasty, and then let people monitor him secretly. Liu Gong and Da Honglu
At a certain time, I went to meet with King Youxian. After explaining the pros and cons, he went with him to Bingzhou and told him that the Xiongnu tribes who were friendly to the imperial court had returned and settled in Taiyuan County. In addition, before Yuvluo came to court,
I was ordered to go to humble custody of the country and set up five additional ministries to rule it."
