Chapter Seventy-Eight: Appointment of Su Ze
Xu Huang directly told Tong Yuan the general content of the inscription.
Tong Yuan only knew about some games and novels, and knew that Xu Huang was a famous "Five Good Generals", and he was both wise and brave, but he still didn't expect him to read the entire inscription in such a short time.
So he asked: "In just a few breaths, Komeito can look at the inscription and understand it all, and it is estimated that there are not many people in our army who can do it." Dare I ask what is the reason for this? ”
Xu Huang still looked serious and replied: "The last general is a native of Yang County, Hedong, who once served as a minor official in Hedong County, and later the Baibo army was powerful, and almost all of the entire Hedong County fell. From that time on, he followed his fellow countryman Yang Feng, and soon became a member of the Xiliang Army. ”
The tone of his speech at this time was very flat, and he did not have the arrogance he used to have. It is obvious that he knows that this is a piece of black history, especially since he was born as a thief. Later, Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded that it was all Spring and Autumn brushwork, and whether Xu Huang had a white wave experience or not was ambiguous and became one of the controversial points.
Tong Yuan is actually not like people in this era who attach great importance to his background and experience, and he has no contempt for Xu Huang's deeds such as being a minor official and having to join the Bai Bo Army. But Xu Huang had a slight inferiority complex because of this incident, and he was not social with others.
Tong Yuan said: "Xu Gongming doesn't need to worry, what I admire most is his rich experience and skills, which is what the border has needed the most for decades." Rest assured, I'll let Komeito use your abilities. ”
Xu Huang thanked: "Thank you Ming Gong!" I think that most of the mountains and rivers on the surface of the Jin land today are in a state of fall, except for Hanoi and Jinyang City, which are occupied by Zhang Yang. ”
"These places were occupied by the Xiongnu, Montenegro, and Baibo tribes, respectively, and entering this area means changing the balance."
Tong Yuan felt a burst of joy in his heart, this Xu Huang really has the demeanor of a general, this kind of strategic analysis is just to grasp the main point, and there is a faint sense of fit with Jia Xu's analysis.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Xu Huang not only thought of this time, but also had an important analysis with Jia Xu.
Historically, after Cao Cao went to Luoyang to meet Emperor Xian, Jia Xu once persuaded Li Dao and Guo Yan to surrender to Cao Cao, but they were categorically refused. Soon after, Yang Feng, who had been in charge of saving the emperor and was an official and a general of the chariot cavalry, faced the same problem, and Xu Huang persuaded Yang Feng to surrender to Cao Cao.
At first, Yang Feng really obeyed, nominally obeying Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang, but Yang Feng did not agree with Han Xian, who was also from Bai Bo, and was later defeated by Cao Cao. As for Xu Huang, he took refuge in Cao Cao, whether he took the initiative to take refuge or was captured to join became a doubt again.
In short, at that time, he and Jia Xu both saw that the fast-rising Cao Cao was far superior to Li Dao, Yang Feng and others who served as the Great Sima and the general of the chariot cavalry, but both of them failed to advise. Although the persuasion was unsuccessful, this kind of vision is indeed worthy of the evaluation of his wisdom and courage by later generations.
Tong Yuan said: "So I plan to beat the Bai Bo army that will not surrender, and then absorb the rest if it wins." However, it does not go deep into the eastern part of Hedong County to avoid becoming a thorn in the side of the ministries. Gongming is a native of Yang County, and he is well aware of the situation of the other party, and he will definitely have a heavy responsibility to trust him at that time. ”
Xu Huang clenched his fists and replied, "Wait for the Lord's dispatch at any time!"
After the tour, Tong Yuan and Xu Huang and Su briefly discussed the opening of the Juxian Pavilion in Yaxian County, and the overall policy was still in accordance with the selection policy of the Dong family's opening of the mansion, mainly looking at ambition and ability, background, morality, etc. as a reference.
Although Su Ze is extremely upright, he also knows that in the troubled times, officials must protect the people, follow the officials and clear streams, the former is the need of the times. So there was no objection, otherwise he would have taken refuge in those famous families of the fourth world and the third duke.
Tong Yuan saw Xu Huang and remembered the day the two first met, and they also met the famous Cai Yan in later generations. He remembered her upheaval life in history, and it was estimated that there were many people with similar fates.
So he added: "After Master Su Wenshi prepares the basic work, he can buy some captive talents from the Hu people in the north. You have been on the right side of the wind for a long time, you should have heard of it, right? ”
Su Ze said: "It should indeed be so, since Weiyang Jun and the general said that they want to gather aspiring talents, they must also restore their homeland such as annexing the state." These people who have been humiliated, but who have a lot of experience, naturally cannot let go. If they don't forget the Han soil, I will try to redeem it. ”
Of course, this is just a supplement, the Juxian Pavilion is mainly faced with literati, and all schools of knowledge will be appointed as long as it is beneficial to the current situation. To a certain extent, it has changed some of the ideological directions of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and of course this is also some of the needs of the times.
Recently, Weiyang Jun's reputation has been spread, although the Dong family's reputation is terrifying, and Dong Bai is a woman. But what you do during this period of time can also attract some people with lofty ideals.
Tong Yuan officially appointed Su Ze as the Dongcao of the Weiyang Monarch's Mansion, responsible for the introduction and promotion of officials in the three counties. And set up a Juxian Hall in Yaxian County, and handed over the arrangement of reception and other work to Su Ze, and then guided according to the progress.
Next, he contacted a few powerful people in the north and west, and agreed to trade and send troops to help in wartime. Most of these people are relatively large local families, who have taken refuge in the wilderness due to disasters and wars, and are of great significance for the development of land and the preservation of population and culture.
Tong Yuancai did not intend to destroy them directly like some other traversers, and plundered their land and property directly. The first is that these dock forts tend to stay in remote places, which is more expensive to conquer and more difficult to use immediately after being laid, so the benefits of doing so are somewhat outweighed.
Second, it is entirely possible to subdue them in a simpler and more effective way. The Xinxi Liang Army had just implemented Tuntian, and the scale of development and utilization was not very large, so it could carry out trade and support each other in wartime. Wait until you are strong and rich...... At that time, we will talk about the conditions, and it is enough to ask for complete dissolution and accession. Wait until the other party is divided, and then it will be much easier to exterminate the stubborn ones.
This is the end of the inspection in Yaxian County, and the harvest has exceeded expectations. Inspections in the other two counties are also going very well. There are many dock forts and villages in the western mountainous area of Xiayang, and they are very pleased with the stability of the situation, among which Xuejiabao also sent a caravan to exchange cattle and sheep and some mountain specialties for a large amount of grain.
Heyang re-demarcated the boundaries of the surrounding areas, and included many rural areas under its jurisdiction, and was willing to join Tuntian to make proper arrangements and provide food. Other officials are also arranged to maintain a basic subordinate relationship.
In this way, Xiayang and other places ushered in the autumn harvest, and the planting of wheat and vegetables in Juntun and Mintun was also carried out in an orderly manner. Some of the better-done tuns and teams have also produced artisan workshops and markets.
