Three days after the book was written, Li Su took the book, set off from Wuji, returned to Jixian County to sell his leave to Liu Yu, and offered the results by the way.

Liu Yu unfolded the scroll, and after looking at it for a long time, his expression became very exciting.

"Good! It's so well written! It turns out that the reason why Emperor Gaozu was so virtuous among the heroes at the end of Qin can still be interpreted in this way! It turns out that from the perspective of 'Fortune in the Palace', not only Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu are less virtuous than Gaozu, but even Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are less virtuous than Gaozu! ”

In just a few minutes, Liu Yu was the first to be taken away.

Because of the words of conscience, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the previous philosophers, whether Gongsun Hong or Dong Zhongshu, only dared to say that Xiang Yu was less virtuous than Liu Bang, but no one dared to say that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were less virtuous than Liu Bang.

Dong Zhongshu and the others avoided talking about the illegality of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and secretively attributed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's failures to bad luck and impermanence.

Li Su's opening is a shocking thunderbolt, simple and rude, but when you look closely, you can justify yourself. This sense of shock, which is not immersive for the Han Dynasty, is difficult to understand.

"The first initiative must be punished, the temple is blessed, the argument is solid, and there is indeed no counterexample in the annals of history. These explanations in "Ask the Right" also blocked the possibility of the people breaking the jar and taking risks after Dachang. ”

"What? This question is actually written by the daughter of Cai Gong? A young girl who has not yet reached the end of her life can also have such knowledge and insight? What a talented woman. In the future, history will record its virtues, and I am afraid that it will not be under the class. ”

After reading it, Liu Yu became more and more excited and praised.

As the number one feudal official of the Han Dynasty and the leader of the Han family, Liu Yu is of course knowledgeable and gives a very high evaluation and cordiality to "The Blessing of the Palace".

For a moment, a terrifying thought even flashed in his mind: Heaven's will is endless! Descend Li Su'an's hearts in the world!

This thing is so easy to use!

It's much easier to use than Dong Zhongshu's tattered stuff that has to suffer from gains and losses all day long, and is worried that God won't appreciate his face!

"With this theory, once our army recruits Qiu Liju and breaks the other coerced rebels, it will be as easy as a snap!" Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and did not shy away from expressing his appreciation.

"Thank you for your appreciation, if it weren't for the fact that you allowed me to take a leave of absence and meditate for two months, Cai Gong and I wouldn't have thought of such a grand theory." Li Su still brags to the leader of the business first.

Liu Yu waved his hand, not caring about these vanities: "Needless to say, these polite ones, has this book been printed and distributed all over the world now?" ”

Li Su: "Thousands of volumes have been printed, and the Zhen family's business name is still being printed day and night. ”

Liu Yu stood up and rubbed his hands for a while about the bright prospects: "It is also necessary to expedite the spread of right Beiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong." It will definitely be able to further shake Qiu Liju-

Think about it, every thief who has plagued the Han Dynasty in the past has not had a good death in the past four hundred years. Based on this historical precedent alone, if you interpret it like this, you may be able to scare Qiu Liju by three or four points! ”

What Liu Yu said is that there is still no military advantage, and there is no urgency or temptation in terms of grain, grass and money.

If you use the military and the starvation together, ninety percent is not a problem!

The most important thing is that Liu Yu also knows his prestige among the Wuhuan people very well.

In history, even without the appearance of Li Su, Qiu Liju surrendered to Liu Yu in the end. It's just that according to the original history, Qiu Liju had to lose more with Gongsun Zhan and tried his best to weigh it repeatedly before deciding to take refuge.

Now that he has Li Su's push, he doesn't have to fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan until he loses both, and there is already a great probability of being shaken.

Liu Yu paced repeatedly in the lobby, his mood was agitated, and he pondered the current situation on the three fronts of civil, military and financial affairs, and finally made an important decision:

"Boya! It's early November, and it's been almost three months since the autumn harvest. As you said before, unripe green and yellow wheat can be milled directly on a stone mill and stored for up to two months when fried. Counting the days, the wheat in the rebel-occupied area should have almost eaten up.

If they go further, they have no choice but three choices: either they will slaughter the people and rob the last bit of grain from the people in their jurisdiction. Either change the siege into a strong attack and fight to the end with Gongsun Zan of Guanzi City. It is estimated that at this moment, the rebels are not afraid of the dead, and maybe they will want to attack the city with more dead people, so as to save a little food - I think the time has come to force the enemy army to surrender! ”

Liu Yu said that the rebels had three choices, but in the end, only two were counted.

The main reason is that he is too kind and loves the people, and the third one can only think about in his heart: that is, after the rebels kill people, they directly eat the flesh of the dead......

He estimated that it was possible that those Hu people were really in a hurry, but he really couldn't say this in front of Li Su.

And the reason why Liu Yu felt that the best time to divide the enemy army was also related to the fact that he didn't want to really force the enemy to the level of the most extreme scourge of the people.

If Gongsun Zhan sits on Liu Yu, he may choose to clear the wilderness for a few more months, and it is best to starve until the spring famine, and then everything will be quiet!

Li Su listened quietly, and waited for Liu Yu to finish speaking, before he answered: "In the past month and a half, I have been worrying about writing and printing books, and I don't know much about the current situation of the enemy.

However, listening to the envoy's meaning, he has already set a goal, and he is only focused on dividing and recruiting Qiu Liju? With all due respect, the Suri, the King of Nanqiao, and the Kebineng tribes are now all weaker than the Bhikkhu forces. Is it more difficult for the king to recruit a Hu chieftain who has the most power and the best preserved army in the previous battles? Wouldn't it be better to take down some of the weaker ones? ”

Regarding this question, Liu Yu rarely didn't want to be admonished at all, he waved his hand directly: "It doesn't matter if Qiu Liju is powerful, as long as I can influence him to be convinced and convincing with peace of mind, it will not be a problem." Moreover, his descendants had not fought with our army before, so the blood feud between the two armies was more indifferent.

Half or even more of the cavalry under Suli, Wusu and others died in the battle with our army, and there are people who died in battle, and their relatives may not be pro-Han again.

What's more, my Han Dynasty uses the culture of clothing to distinguish Huayi, and anyone who is willing to speak Chinese, write Chinese, wear Hanfu, and have a surname of Han, even if the bloodline is Hu people, can also be naturalized. Wuhuan has been attached to each department for 150 years, and there is no reason to give up the Wuhuan with many people, and recruit few people. ”

Now the Xianbei forces in the rebel army are indeed much smaller than Wuhuan in terms of numbers. But Xianbei has a lower degree of sinicization, and has always lived on the prairie outside the Great Wall, unlike the Wuhuan people, who originally lived in the Guannei and had a high proportion of farming.

Hearing Liu Yu's insistence, Li Su stopped persuading.

He also realized that his national outlook was a bit too biased towards later generations and was not suitable for the situation in the late Han Dynasty today.

Because to deal with those ethnic groups that have disappeared in the long river of history and integrated into the Han nationality, it is impossible for Li Su to liquidate like Song Fan and Ming Fan did with Manchu and Mongolia.

can only pick who will completely integrate into the Han nationality first, and the Sinicization will be successful, then it will be relatively one yard away - in fact, from this point of view, not to mention that Wuhuan later integrated and disappeared into the Han nationality, and even Xianbei disappeared. It's just that Xianbei is later, and by the time of the Sui and Tang dynasties, a bunch of nobles surnamed Dugu and Yuwen have merged into Yang and Li, and they have disappeared.

But since it has been decided that he will still focus on appeasing Qiu Liju, Li Su must also give full play to his skills, and he can't let Qiu Liju live as easily as he was recruited by Liu Yu in the original history.

In the original history, although Qiu Liju surrendered relatively quickly, and he did not fight back after surrendering, he did not pay any price, but he besieged Gongsun Zan until the army rations on both sides were eaten up and he was so hungry that he couldn't do it, so he pushed the boat to join Liu Yu.

This is also the main reason why Gongsun Chan is very unconvinced-I have been fighting to the death and alive for so long, and I have been fighting for nothing? A lot of people died on both sides, and there is no need to settle accounts after the autumn?

This time, Li Su must give Qiu Liju some blood as a vote!

This can be regarded as a better way to repay Liu Yu for his kindness, because only by letting Qiu Liju pay the price for his previous siege behavior and vent his anger to Gongsun Zhan, the conflict between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu can be less intensified in the future.

To achieve this step, Li Su can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, with a beginning and an end, which is worthy of Boss Liu.

……

In this way, Li Su had a secret conversation in Liu Yu's mansion, and the two ministers spent half a day to clarify all the major issues of right and wrong, such as "who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is likely to win over".

Then, it comes to the specific differentiation and co-optation means deployment.

Liu Yu commanded: "Military deterrence and the threat of the Mandate of Heaven, you are already very good at these two points, so I don't need to say more." However, in terms of starvation and inducement, I still have to explain a few words - this time, I am willing to give Qiu Liju a sum of money, in the name of making up for part of the arrears of the imperial court since the second year of Zhongping, the imperial court has levied the Wuhuan cavalry to fight in Liangzhou, and speed up the progress of recruitment.

When you go for the first time, you don't have to give more, just take a little as a deposit. After the boss has fulfilled his promise to surrender step by step, we will give it in batches, so that we can better control Qiu Liju and ensure that Qiu Liju has a feud with the other Hu chieftains, and will have to rely on us in the future. ”

Li Su was a little alert when he heard this, he was afraid that Liu Yu would not be able to operate: "Give money? It's not that this can't be given, but we must pay attention to reputation and secrecy, otherwise it is easy to damage the majesty and deterrence of my Han to Hulu. It would be bad if it was treated as a reparation. ”

Land reparations are definitely a taboo in diplomacy. The point is not to lose this money, but to make people think that you are a bully.

Although the Song Dynasty gave the Liaoxia New Year Coins a nominal treatment, saying that it was a "reward", that level of treatment was not used at all, and it still made the Song Dynasty lose its international reputation as waste.

However, I didn't expect Liu Yu to be quite knowledgeable.

After listening to Li Su's reminder, Liu Yan patted him on the shoulder appreciatively: "Of course I know that I must pay attention to the name of righteousness!" Giving money is not the key, the key is to make the enemy afraid of you after giving money! After you can't give money, let the other Zhuhu know that you gave Qiu Liju money.

So on this trip, you must make sure that after Qiu Liju gets the arrears, he will keep it absolutely confidential, if he dares to let Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang know that he got the money, then he won't want to get the follow-up money! Even if he gets the money in the future, he must put aside the causal relationship between the money he took and the surrender of the Han today. It has to be a grace that comes out of the top, and I see that he is good at rewarding him!

Besides, at least in the second year of Zhongping and three years in Zhongping, the Wuhuan cavalry still worked hard for the imperial court for two years, and they were forced to rebel against them by not paying the military salary for those two years. The year in which they were given less was even a punishment for their rebellion this year. ”

Li Su heard Liu Yu talk about this, and felt that there was no big loophole and could be executed.

It's just that during the execution process, Li Su can still tinker with it a little.

I really didn't expect Liu Yu to have such a skill, no wonder he was able to suppress the four Hu people in Youzhou at the same time in history.

This trick of dividing and keeping secrets and making Hu people suspicious and deterrent each other is very clever.
