Han Dao world

First of all, the emperor did have only three thousand riders when he set off from Hedong, but he did not have three thousand riders when he fought the Xianbei and the Huns.In addition to the 4 elite cavalry from the Xiongnu royal court, there were also Ma Teng and Han Sui who came from Liangzhou, with a total force of nearly [-].

Secondly, except for the battle of Shaling Lake where the Xiongnu's right army was killed, most of the fine cavalry led by the emperor were to lure the enemy, and the task of defeating the opponent was actually completed by Ma Teng's troops.

As for the final battle outside Shuofang City, Fuluo Hanbu was a remnant defeated general who regrouped after the defeat. It seemed that they had a lot of troops, but they were actually vulnerable.Furthermore, Fu Luohan stood with his back facing Shuofang City, placing himself in a disadvantageous position of being attacked by enemies from both sides, which in itself violated the common sense of using troops.

Yuan Shao didn't really believe in the almost miraculous achievements of the emperor, but after hearing Chen Gong's explanation, he immediately felt relieved.

This is almost the same, the emperor is just a 16-year-old boy, how can he have such a brilliant talent for using soldiers.

But then, what Chen Gong said was not so happy.

The emperor stayed in Meiji and did not return to Hedong, but he could go east and enter Youzhou at any time.

Daijun and Shanggu in the west of Youzhou and Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong in the north of Bingzhou are geographically connected without any barriers.After defeating Xianbei and subduing the Xiongnu, the Son of Heaven possessed a large number of war horses, marched extremely fast, and entered Daijun and Shanggu eastward.

In other words, if Yuan Shao fails to respond in time, the Son of Heaven will control Daijun and Shanggu ahead of him, and may enter Zhuojun and Guangyang through Juyongsai, or enter Changshan and Zhongshan through Feihu Road at any time.

Speaking of this, Chen Gong reminded Yuan Shao that he met Zhao Yun from Changshan when he was crossing the river.

Yuan Shao had no impression of Zhao Yun, but he was very sensitive to the words Changshanren.

Jingxing, one of the Eight Xings of Taihang, is in Changshan, and the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan have always colluded with Gongsun Zan.If the Changshan people turned to the imperial court and united with Taiyuan County, the threat would be greater than Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he lost the hearts of the people and could hardly do anything.

The Son of Heaven is a promising young man, and I don't know how many foolish men and women will regard the Son of Heaven as the hope of a great man's rejuvenation.

Chen Gong's reminder was very timely, and this matter must not be taken lightly.

Chen Gong then narrated some government affairs of the emperor in Meiji.

The most important thing here is the emperor's handling of Xianbei and the descendants of the Huns.

There is a severe shortage of household registration in Bingzhou, and all the counties added together have only [-] to [-] households, which is less than one county in Jizhou.The emperor moved the Xianbei and the descendants of the Huns to settle in Xihe, and tried to educate them, which was also a helpless way.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

It is by no means an easy task to educate barbarians who are accustomed to nomadic pastoralism into registered households.Without ten years, it is difficult to see results.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help smiling, and said in an almost frivolous tone: "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has the ambition of Yao and Shun."

Ju Shou frowned slightly, and remained silent.

Tian Feng put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"My lord, the loss of a young man is urgent. The son of heaven is not yet weak, but he has long-term peace and stability, which should not be underestimated. Ten years is long and short. As in the day, the aftermath is still unsettled. Suppose ten years later, the Son of Heaven will succeed in his education, and lead a hundred thousand Xianbei and Xiongnu youths to go south, how will the lord respond?"

The smile on Yuan Shao's face immediately froze, and his face turned pale.

One hundred thousand fine riders going south, it is chilling to think about it.

But what Tian Feng said was by no means groundless.

In this war, the Son of Heaven took in more than [-] Xianbei people, plus the Huns who had originally settled in the Great Wall, even if there were less than [-] households, the shortage was limited.If some Xianbei people from the grasslands are lured into the fortress in the next few years, there will only be a lot more than [-] households.

Ten years of lessons, now only ten-year-old Xianbei and Xiongnu teenagers grow up, and one hundred thousand elite riders are not empty words.

If you add people from Xiliang...

In an instant, Yuan Shao felt that the delicious food and wine on the table were tasteless.

"Foretelling is standing, not forewarning is useless, why did you teach me?" Yuan Shao raised his head, forced a smile, and looked at the crowd.

Tian Feng handed over. "I believe that it is the best policy for the lord to enter the court and take charge of the government."

Shen Pei and Ju Shou nodded in unison.

What Tian Feng said is indeed a good idea.When Yuan Shao entered the court, he had the assistance of Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and other veterans inside, and the support of the world's gentry outside, so it was not difficult to monopolize power.In this way, no matter what tricks the emperor has, he cannot threaten Yuan Shao.

When it comes to appease and appease the Hulu, the Yuan family is the real backbone.Since Yuan An, he has always advocated appeasement of the Hulu, rather than conquest.Now Yuan Shao is based in Jizhou, and has close ties with Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou. Not long ago, he married several clan women to Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and granted several Shanyu.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time. "Yuan Hao, let's say the right thing."

Chapter 379 Tian Feng's Three Strategies

Wang Ling sat at the bottom of Chen Gong and remained silent.

In terms of age, he has just been crowned weaker, and he is a bit younger than everyone present here.In terms of seniority, Yuan Shao was friends with his uncle Wang Yun, he was a generation behind.

On such an occasion, he has almost no qualifications to speak.

As a son of the gentry, he still understands this rule.

But Yuan Shao rejected Tian Feng's best plan, which made him very uncomfortable.

The reason why he accompanied Chen Gong to meet Yuan Shao was that he hoped that Yuan Shao could enter the court and take charge of the government.This is not only the idea of ​​Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and other veterans, but also the idea of ​​the Bingzhou clan.

Of course, the Wang family of Qi County desperately hoped for Yuan Shao to enter the court.

Cai Yong's daughter is serving as the official secretary next to the emperor, and Xiliang people still occupy an important position in the imperial court.

Only when Yuan Shao enters the dynasty can the threat to Wang Yun be completely suppressed.

But Yuan Shao directly vetoed Tian Feng's best policy, apparently without such considerations, Wang Yun's posthumous reputation, and the safety of the Wang family in Qi County were never in Yuan Shao's consideration.

This reminded him of the deaths of Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and others, the fight between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and Yuan Tan who was arranged by Yuan Shao to go to Youzhou.

The Wang family of Qi County pinned their hopes on this person, isn't it wishful thinking?

Wang Ling suddenly regretted it.If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have appeared here.

Tian Feng was also a little disappointed, and he didn't speak for a long time, until Yuan Shao urged him displeasedly, he said: "Zhongce, my lord accepts the edict of the emperor, you can worship the Taiwei or the general, sit in Jizhou, and take charge of the military affairs of the states. The imperial edict, and Yu Ze, the fourth generation of the Yuan family, can be passed on in the Guandong. The master's merits are better than Yi Yin and Duke Zhou, and his virtues are all over the world, so naturally all people will return to their hearts."

Yuan Shao's expression softened slightly, but he was still not satisfied.

Yi Yin and Zhou Gong were not what he expected.

After all, Tian Feng still disapproved of him taking the last step, and hoped that he would stop at a powerful minister.

But throughout the ages, how many powerful officials can die well?

How could the Yuan family stop at this point?Although the Son of Heaven is young, he is not an ignorant child.Ten years later, when he was young and strong, he would deal with Yuan Shi just like Emperor Huan did with General Liang Ji.

"Very kind." Yuan Shao said with a smile, "Of course, please Yuan Hao say something wrong again."

Tian Feng sighed and shook his sleeves. "There's nothing wrong with a bad policy, why bother with Tian Feng." He took his seat without raising his head.

Yuan Shao was very annoyed.

It's just that in front of Chen Gong, he didn't want to lose his dignity and his reputation as a virtuous corporal.

Celebrities can be arrogant, but a monarch cannot easily get angry.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Feng Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Ji is a middle-aged man, so he dares to make bad decisions for the Lord."

Yuan Shao nodded and squeezed out a smile.

"Since East Wuyang is down, my lord can cross the river to patrol Yanyu, and call all states and counties to come to see. In ten months, the Central Plains can be settled. Then Luoyang will be repaired, and the emperor will be invited back to the capital. Now, the great man can prosper, and the world can be safe."

After Feng Ji finished speaking, he smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hedong is nothing more than that, at least it is the land of Longxing for three generations. Meiji is the royal court of the Xiongnu. How can the dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty live with the Hulu? It is really inappropriate, and it is not decent for the court. It is not what a Mingjun should do."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was in the middle of his heart, and turned to look at Chen Gong with a smile on his face.

"What do you think of this strategy?"

Chen Gong got up, cupped his hands and said: "The lord has a lot of talents, even though it's a bad strategy, it's also called brilliant."

Wang Ling sat aside, with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

He felt the Kanto people's strong contempt for the Kanxi people, and also understood why Yuan Shao didn't care about Wang Yun's affairs.

-

As the weather gradually warmed up, the grass on both sides of the valley was covered with new clothes. In just a few days, it changed from light green to dark green.

The pure white sheep are scattered among them, like the decorations on the brocade forging, and the clouds in the sky show the beauty of tranquility.

Liu Xie got off his horse, walked to the river, squatted down, scooped up water, and poured it on his face.

The cool water of the river refreshes the mind.

Liu Xie stood up, put his hands around his mouth, and let out a long whistle.

"Hey--"

The howling sound echoed in the valley, as if the mountains were echoing.

A shepherdess on the opposite hillside heard Liu Xie's whistling, turned her head and saw a few horses, a few young men, and she didn't know who they were, but she felt young and handsome, so she couldn't help getting up to echo and sang a song .

"Hey--

Guest from afar, welcome to my tent.

I will bring out the treasured wine,

I will sing the sweetest ballad,

I will sing the most beautiful dance,

Welcome, guest from afar..."

She spoke Xianbei, and Liu Xie could barely understand half of it and was unable to answer.Aiken is a master duet singer, shaking his horsewhip, and singing in harmony with the opposite party.The clear sound on both sides of the valley is fascinating.

"What are they singing?" Liu Xie turned to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan was a little embarrassed, and said after a while, "Love song."

Liu Xie laughed. "It's about estrus, and it's about ritual. Why not? There are also such love songs in the "Book of Songs."

Cai Yan wrinkled her nose, but did not refute.

After following Liu Xie for so long, she has gotten used to Liu Xie's frivolous treatment of Confucian classics.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that Chen Gong passed through Taiyuan and left Jingxing. He...had a call on Situ and Sikong, and stopped for a while in the Beijun Zhonghou camp."

Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan. "Your clothes this year are not bad, but the color is too plain. Spring is here, and the flowers are in full bloom. You should have a spring atmosphere. You are dressed in plain white. Haven't you seen enough of the snowy scenery all over the mountains and plains?"

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment. "Your Majesty, I'm talking about business."

Liu Xieyang raised his hand. "I can guess what you said. What kind of serious business is it? At most, it's just a small thought that can't be put on the table. You don't think I really believe that Chen Gong will be loyal to the court, do you?"

Cai Yan blurted out. "It doesn't matter whether Chen Gong is loyal to the imperial court or not, but it's a bit inappropriate to send Wang Yuncong's son Wang Ling to follow Chen Gongyun to Jizhou in the northern army."

"Wang Ling?" Liu Xie felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered who it was, and then smiled again.

Shi Sunrui was in charge of the infantry and Shesheng Battalions of the Northern Army, and set up defenses in Taiyuan. In addition to recruiting members of the deceased Wang Yun's clan to become officials, he also recruited many people from other families.Therefore, among the talents from all states and counties, Taiyuan is the least. So far, only Hao Zhao is famous in later generations.

Wang Ling, Guo Huai and others did not come. They were recruited into the Northern Army by Shi Sun Rui.

If he was angry, he must be a little angry, but only a little bit.

Looking at famous generals and ministers is the same as looking at beautiful women. You can like it, but it doesn't mean you have to possess it, let alone forcefully solicit it.

When the opportunity comes, what should come will come naturally.

Just like Xun Yu who is far away in the east of the river, like Cai Yan who is beside him.

Wang Ling and Guo Huai were no exception.

It's not his loss that they don't come now, it's their loss.

Some opportunities are missed.

"Your Majesty, Anthony is here." Shi A walked over and reminded.

Liu Xie rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Let's go and see what good things this profiteer has brought this time."

Chapter 380

In the last battle of Shuofang, Anthony switched camps in time. Not only did he not suffer any losses, but he took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Liu Xie entrusted him with the task of handling the loot and entrusted him to contact the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall.

He is not afraid of the Xianbei people, but he doesn't want to start a war with the Xianbei people inexplicably.If there is a way to coexist peacefully, he will not refuse.

Force is the bottom line, it is a deterrent, it must not be used, nor should it be used lightly.

Anthony played the role of a businessman very well. With his three-inch tongue, he convinced the Xianbei people that it was uneconomical to start a war with Liu Xie easily. Fu Luohan is the best example, and doing business is a real win-win situation.

As for whether the Xianbei people really believe it, or are they waiting for the horse to become fat after autumn, it is not clear.
