New Story of Lv Bu

On June 15th, General Wei Gaoshun’s army entered Guzang City in Wuwei County. After a grand entrance ceremony was held, in the ruined prefect’s mansion in Guzang City, the generals of Gaoshun General Assembly took care of military affairs. . The army was like a broken bamboo, and marched forward bravely, putting down Song Jian's rebellion in one fell swoop and regaining the seven counties. The generals' faces were full of joy.

"My lords, since our army set off from Linjing at the end of May, it has been divided into three groups and headed west. It took only half a month to regain Guzang City, beheaded 13,000, and captured 27,000! Song Jian only led 7,000 cavalry to escape. This is a remarkable victory! In the strategizing of the Great Sima, the kings will be able to achieve this great achievement by winning the victory thousands of miles away and beheading the flag!"

"The merits of all the monarchs have been recorded, and converted into merit points, you can find the grain station to redeem it at any time. Land, houses, gold, war horses????? everything! If you don't understand, you can go to the grain station to inquire. I won’t say more here. What I’m going to say today is the next step. This is a very important issue. Please listen carefully, so you can remember it!"

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately sat upright, holding their breath and listening carefully to every word of Gao Shun. During the past month, the generals of the Xiliang Army and the Xiliang rebels have understood the temper of General Wei Gao Shun. Gao Shun is a serious and majestic man, he is inexorable to his emotions, he cherishes his soldiers, rewards and punishments are strict, and he has won the hearts of the military. , Training and leading troops are very familiar. More importantly, he is the military deputy of Da Sima Lubu. Da Sima trusts him extremely and is the number one man in the military of the state.

"At present, our military has four strategic goals to achieve: First, it is to regain the entire territory of Liangzhou, properly resettle people and immigrants, build water conservancy and roads, rebuild the fort of the city, protect the environment and ecology, and resume production as soon as possible. Therefore, I ordered Cheng Gongying to lead the eight tribesmen, to pull the camp to the west tomorrow, to recover the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, and to wipe out the tribe of Song Jiansuo!"

"No!" Cheng Gongying and other nine adults immediately responded with a right fist to the chest. Gao Shun glanced at them, and the technique said, "You have 60,000 cavalry under your men. They are enough to deal with Song Jian’s 7,000 remnants. What I want to emphasize is military discipline! There is no crime in the autumn! Which one can’t do it? , I violated military discipline, don’t blame me Gao Shun’s being polite! You all know my temper."

"This month, you all went to war under my supervision. This time, I let you all out. This is a hard-won opportunity, and the nine of you must cherish it. Next time it is possible to lead the army alone again, it depends on it. How did you fight this battle? Don’t drive away Song Jian, make a great contribution, and finally still burn and looting. That is not worth the gain, killing is easy, and the head has a big scar! But you have to pick it up again! It’s hard to get up there! See you by yourselves if there is a problem with one!"

"I will be able to strictly observe military discipline! Whoever burns, kills, loots, or commits adultery, I will cut down his head!" Cheng Gongying immediately stated. "Cheng Zhonglang is right! Whoever burns, kills, robs, commits adultery, cuts off his head!" "If there is a violation, come and see you!" "That's it!" "Good point!" Liang Xing Eight adults, including Ma Wan and Ma Wan, patted their chests to make sure.

Seeing Master Jiu Bu said this, Gao Shun was deeply satisfied: "That's good! That's good! An army without strict military discipline can't win battles, at least it can't win all battles! Your trilogy, Xiqin Zahu and Huangzhong Yicong accounted for 40% to 50%. These people have no meat and are not used to eating food and rice every day. I have personally instructed the servant Wang Han-now he is responsible for transporting munitions and food. The meat supply for you, according to Double the calculation of the state army, it can be regarded as compensation to the brothers."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiubu immediately smiled, and the state army’s meat supply was very good. During the war, a soldier had four or two meat, four eggs, and a bottle of milk. This was enough to make the prince’s army envy. . This kind of supply is doubled, isn't it a day like a god? It would be even better if there were two more shots of spirits, but everyone thought about it and didn't dare to speak.

"Liangzhou Mu’s prefecture was originally in Long County. Now the new prefectural Mu Jia Xu moved it to Guzang City in order to take care of military and civil affairs nearby. Brother Wen He will arrive in Guzang City three days later, and his servant Wang Han is here. Arrived five days later. All monarchs, this time to conquer Liangzhou, Da Sima and the imperial court both paid the blood, and the food alone took out five million shi, so all the monarchs must deepen the heart of Da Sima. Don’t work hard. Mi Yan, his success fell so short that he was ruined and was cut off by Da Sima!"

"I will be able to strictly observe the military discipline, fight with all my strength, and live up to Da Sima's expectations!" The generals responded loudly.

"This second strategic goal is to recruit Zhu Qiang. In the past 100 years, three large-scale Qiang riots have erupted. The cause is that the officials have levied excessive charges and violated the law for favoritism. Once there is a natural disaster, a single spark will become a fire of a prairie fire! This time to recruit Zhu Qiang, Da Sima, is to imitate the Western Regions Protector, to establish the Western Qiang Protector to manage all of the Qiangs. There is a member of the Shi Yushi under it, who specializes in supervising the illegal activities of the officials under the Western Qiang Protector, two thousand stones The following can be cut first and then played, impeachment over two thousand stones."

"To quell Xiqiang, Da Sima has said that although those who break strong men will be punishable far away, all Qiangs must obey orders, obey the central government, and must not attack and kill without authorization. This is fundamental. There will be absolutely no compromise, and absolutely no compromise. There are four benefits to Zhu Qiang: First, Zhu Qiang can be protected by the big man, and if there is an external trouble and internal disturbance, the big Han will use the army of the Qiang to fight against it."

"Secondly, Zhu Qiang and the Great Han coexist peacefully and do not fight. The Chief Zhu Qiang was appointed to the official position, and he was given a big Han seal, so that he could send his children to the Imperial College. Naturally, this is a special subject examination, and the Imperial College will be alone. The difficulty of asking questions is much lower than that of the Imperial Examination. The leaders and children of Zhu Qiang can come to the Han to serve as officials and settle down."

"General Qi Wei, what should the merchants of Zhu Qiang do?" Lu An asked with his hands. "Oh! This question is well raised!" Gao Shun glanced at Lu An approvingly, saying that in the past two years, Lu An's mind has become more and more careful. "This problem is easy to solve. Those who are made up of big men are treated like the big guys. Those who are not big guys are treated as foreign merchants."

"That's it! The kid has been taught!" Lu An smiled. In the areas controlled by the Bingzhou Army, the lijin paid by the people of the great man was up to half a percentage point, and the lijin paid by foreign businessmen was up to 10%. Regardless of the difference between this and only half of it, if the capital is huge, it is not a small amount! With this alone, those Qiang kings will squeeze their heads, crying and crying to become the people of the big man! Coupled with the above conditions, this trick to care for the Qiang will be sure.

"The third is to set up a bargaining market, one in each of the six counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Longxi, which is directly managed by the prefects of each county and supervised by the Shaofu. The station is dedicated to picket officials for illegal affairs. They can be chopped up first and then played after 2,000 shi, and impeachment for more than 2,000 shi. In this way, the Qiang people also have a channel for appeal."

"Except for state secrets, iron, armor, and swords are not allowed to be traded. Others can be traded. The tax rate for the bargaining field is set by the court and is roughly between half and 20%. Pearls, silks, and jadeites The tax rate will be adjusted at any time according to the scarcity of goods. The imperial court can also influence the quantity and type of imported or exported goods. For example, there is more food in the Central Plains. The tax rate will be greatly reduced. Exports are encouraged. If the Central Plains is still in short supply, then the tax rate will be greatly increased and exports will not be encouraged. Qiang people will naturally sell grain to sell when they see the benefits."

About this tax rate, I heard the nine adults and the generals of the Xiliang Army look at each other. This is the way of economy. With their heads, how can they understand it? Even the generals of the Bingzhou Army were half-understandable. The only one who can understand is Lu An. He had heard his father say these words many times, and he was able to understand them like a divine enlightenment. Now that I can put it into practice, I not only secretly applauded. It is so enjoyable to use such a soft knife to kill people without imperial orders and military orders!

The reason is simple. Da Sima means to let the Qiang kings and nobles of Zhuqiang come into contact with the culture of the big Han, enjoy the dividends brought by the friendly policy of the big Han, and let them immerse themselves in the gentle town for their entire lives. One day, if anyone dared to rebel without opening their eyes, they only need to close the market or raise the tax rate, and the lives of the nobles of the Qiang will be reduced by a dozen levels.

Their descendants, yearning for a good life in Luoyang, the capital of the capital, all bore their heads to study the sage books, sharpened their heads and drilled into the Imperial College. After studying under the supervision of Guozi, the trusteeship relationship has been a big man for one or two appointments. It is like falling into a honeypot. Who would think of this bitterly cold Xiqiang? In this way, after three or four generations, all the Qiangs have become big men! Whoever wants to rebel without opening his eyes, the first to destroy him is the aristocrat whose children are all in the big man!

After talking a lot, Gao Shun stopped taking a sip of water to moisturize his throat, and then said hurriedly: "This is the'Ping Qiang Three Strategies', 80% of them are Da Sima, especially the last one. Others People are just polish. After consulting Bingzhou Mu Yanxing, Liangzhou Mu Jia Xu, Sili Xiaowei Houcheng, and me, Da Sima finally made the decision."

Speaking of this, Gao Shun looked around at the generals under his command: "These'Three Pingqiang Policies' are extremely clever, but no matter how clever the decision is made, someone must implement it. Then, who will handle the Pingqiang issue?" Hearing this, the generals immediately lowered their heads. This seems to be easy, but in fact it is extremely difficult and dangerous. It is far more difficult than fighting and killing.
