The mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are covered with withered yellow, and there is not a trace of green in sight.
There are cattle and sheep scattered among the river valleys, looking for grass roots in the remaining snow, enjoying themselves leisurely.
"The Yellow River is full of harm and only benefits." Liu Xie said: "It is said that the clear river in Haiyan means the prosperous times. The river in the northwest is very clear. Could it be that the prosperous times are in the northwest?"
Xun You laughed dumbly. "Wherever your Majesty goes, there is prosperity. It doesn't matter whether it's the southeast or the northwest."
Liu Xie laughed. "The servant said this, I'm afraid he didn't mean it."
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart. It's just not now, but in the future." Xun You smiled, raised his finger and made a gesture. "Sixty years from now."
"Why sixty years later?"
"Thirty years of peace, thirty years of peace, and then prosperity will come."
Liu Xie also laughed. "I thought the minister wanted to talk about the next Jiazi year."
Xun You's smile immediately became unnatural.
Liu Xie took two steps forward and asked again: "The minister is originally a descendant of Xun Qing, has he studied Xun Qing's studies?"
Xun You regained his composure and said unhurriedly: "The Han family used the Tao of overlords and used it, which is Xunqing's school. However, although Xunqing's school does not reject domineering, after all, it is based on virtue and government and the way of kings.
high."
"Looking at the world, who can follow the king's way?"
Xun You pondered and did not answer for a while.
"Yuan Shao? Liu Biao?" Liu Xie turned to look at Xun You. "Or Wen Ruo?"
Xun You was stunned and turned pale with shock. "Your Majesty, why did you say this? Who else but your Majesty can do the king's right?"
Liu Xie raised his hand and signaled Xun You not to be anxious. "Yuan Shao has the hope of the fourth generation and the three princes, and he also wins the favor of the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world. Liu Biao is well-educated, graceful and magnanimous, and he can win people. He is a man of letters who has both virtue and talent, and is both loyal and righteous. This is
All three of them seem to have the potential to assist the court and achieve kingly status, but I don’t know who can truly succeed."
Xun You breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Xie said again: "I am optimistic about Wen Ruo."
Xun You was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "Why does Your Majesty think so highly of him?"
"He is young, just past his thirties, and still has the opportunity to break through himself."
Xun You blinked his eyes.
Is the Emperor saying that I am old, stuck in prejudices, and stuck in the past?
Liu Xie changed the subject and added: "Of course, more importantly, he has me and his attendants."
Xun You quickly declined. "How virtuous and capable I am, how dare you stand shoulder to shoulder with Your Majesty?"
"When it comes to trust, I'm afraid I can't compete with you." Liu Xie laughed silently. "After all, I can't write two characters of Xun in one stroke."
Xun You's heart moved, and he instantly understood what the emperor meant.
The emperor knew that it was impossible for Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to enter the court, so the hope of implementing the royal way could only be pinned on Xun Yu's shoulders. He had high hopes for Xun Yu, but he could not give up military power. Situ could govern the people, but Taiwei could not control the army.
Then, there needs to be a basic trust between him and Xun Yu, especially for Xun Yu.
In order to make Xun Yu believe that the emperor was determined to implement the royal way and not rely on force to cause trouble, the emperor needed someone around him who Xun Yu could trust.
He is the man chosen by the emperor.
In this way, the emperor's plan becomes clearer.
He planned to stay in Meiji and never return, not so much to see how far Yuan Shao could go, but rather to see how far Xun Yu could go and whether the kingly way could finally be realized.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, but I dare not take them seriously. Both I and Wenruo are His Majesty's ministers. I am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my foolishness, loyalty and wisdom."
Liu Xie nodded. "Can Xihe County be restored?"
"I cannot give you a reply for the time being. Your Majesty, please allow me some time to visit my old friend and understand some of the situation before making a decision."
"Okay." Liu Xie showed a satisfied smile. In this regard, Pei Mao is not as stable as Xun You. "There is just one thing that cannot wait. We must make a decision now."
"What's the matter?"
"Prisoners of the Huns." Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. "If they are returned to the Huns, wouldn't they be used as wedding clothes for others?"
As time went by, people from the defeated tribesmen continued to come to surrender. Including those who surrendered at that time, the total number has exceeded 3,000. There were old and young, and some even brought their families with them.
Liu Xie was unwilling to return these people to the Huns, whether they were Huchuquan or other tribal leaders.
Why should I give the captives I spent so much effort to capture to you? When you are fattened up, can you come back and bargain with me?
It doesn't make sense.
So when Pei Mao proposed that the Huns be registered as households and directly controlled by the imperial court, he was indeed moved.
But he also knew that this was equivalent to taking food from the Huns' population, and the Huns would never agree easily. If it was not handled properly, people like Qubei might feel resentful. If they turned against each other on the battlefield, they would be in big trouble.
.
After much deliberation, he still wanted to hear Xun You's opinion.
Pei Mao has a very positive attitude, but he is not very good at things and may not be as good as his son Pei Qian.
Xun You thought for a while. "Your Majesty, why not select the best and rebuild the Du Liao General's camp?"
"Can the Huns agree?"
"The key to success or failure is not whether the Huns agree or not, but whether your majesty can be victorious in every battle." Xun You explained: "The barbarians are afraid of power and have no morals. Even if they are lured with heavy profits, the benefits will be exhausted and the rebellion will remain the same. Only
make it obedient
I live, and those who rebel against me die, so that they can bow their heads. First use authority, then kindness. Select those who can be taught and teach them, and those who cannot be taught, kill them. After a hundred battles, gold will naturally be seen from the sand, and the man will be full.
The whole camp is His Majesty’s minions.”
Liu Xie thought about it for a while.
There is no difference in principle between Xun You's method and his, but Xun You is more ruthless than him.
Choose those who can be taught and teach them, and those who cannot be taught, slaughter them.
Behind this sentence, I don’t know how many tricks are going to fall to the ground.
But think about it calmly, this is the most authentic history.
National integration is a history of blood and tears, and there are no immortals. It's just that many Han people died in the past, but now the Han people hold on to their swords tightly, and those who die are the Huns.
——
Liu Xie soon issued an edict, appointing Zhang Yang as General Du Liao, and selected elites from the surrendered Huns prisoners to join the general Du Liao camp.
General Duliao's camp is an independent military camp, and the imperial court has the final say on its establishment.
Not to mention the thousands of people now, no matter how many prisoners there are in the future, they can be resettled.
In order to attract the Huns to join the Duliao Camp, Liu Xie moved the headquarters of the Duliao Camp from Manbai to Chengyi, Wuyuan County. The best nearby valley land was included in the jurisdiction of the Duliao Camp to accommodate the soldiers of the Duliao Camp.
He also set up a Hu market to trade with tribes outside the Great Wall.
Chengyi originally had a salt official who controlled the nearby salt ponds. With the right to trade, he could basically meet the daily expenses of the Duliao camp.
For the soldiers and their families in Duliao Camp, there is hope for a stable life.
In order to strengthen this hope, Liu Xie announced that soldiers who have served in the Liao camp for five years and meet relevant conditions, whether Han or Hu, can move to Neijun. Nearby Xihe, Hedong, and the distant Central Plains
,It will be all right.
In other words, after five years of fighting for the Han Dynasty, you can have a stable life.
If he dies in battle within five years, his family members can also be transferred to the inner county.
As soon as the news came out, the Huns prisoners immediately became excited.
