Chapter 259: Liu Yu's Troubles

Zheng Bo Zheng Feng first handed over a sticker to the guards guarding the Jicheng Prefecture. It didn't take long for him to be summoned.

This is also a coincidence that Liu Xian is in a hurry, because Liu Yu has not been here for a while, and this is also seeing that the New Year is over, so he returned to the state capital.

For Liu Yu, this time he served as the pastor of Youzhou again, and the power in his hands was nominally greater than when he was the assassin of Youzhou two or three years ago.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu is full of melancholy, thinking that he can finally show his strength and realize his ambitions.

What are Liu Yu's ambitions? As a member of the Han family, he naturally doesn't have that kind of excessive wolf ambition. His loyalty to the Han family is indeed extremely loyal, and his ambition is actually to make the Han regain its former glory through his own efforts, and to make the alien races from all over the world completely surrender to the Han.

As a member of the Han family, if he can do this, it can be said that it will be a long-lasting achievement.

He asks for nothing, but for a name that will go down through the ages. In other words, Liu Yu is more renamed.

However, this time he was appointed as the political chief of Youzhou again, and after taking office, he found that many things were completely different from before.

Two or three years ago, before the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Youzhou was relatively stable, although there were alien rangers knocking on the pass from time to time, and some aliens broke into Youzhou to burn, kill and loot. However, that doesn't happen too often.

And the most critical point is that with Liu Yu's efforts, those aliens outside the border are still more convinced of him. On the surface, those aliens were extremely respectful to him, and indeed in the name of Liu Yu, they would restrain their subordinates from various aliens and prevent those alien soldiers and horses from breaking into the Han Dynasty to cause chaos.

The aliens who usually broke into the Han Dynasty to cause trouble were actually unknown, and no tribe would admit that they did it.

In short, under Liu Yu's governance, those aliens did maintain a state of submission to the Han on the surface, and no one dared to openly betray the Han.

Liu Yu has always believed that for those people of different races, there is no kind of education, he believes that as long as the culture of the Han people is passed on to them, let them understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, and then teach them slash-and-burn farming, teach them Chinese characters, weaving, production and so on. In this way, what is the difference between those aliens outside the customs and the Han Chinese?

As long as we adopt a soft policy towards them, try our best to help those aliens, and improve the living conditions and environment of those aliens, then how can those aliens rebel against the Han Dynasty?

It has to be said that Liu Yu's ideas and concepts are indeed feasible under certain circumstances.

In fact, those nomads in later generations were basically slowly assimilated by the Han Chinese. By the time of later generations, there were basically no nomads. If there is, it is a very small part.

But as mentioned earlier, for now, Liu Yu's blind adoption of a soft policy towards those aliens outside the border will not work. The so-called Huairou policy is based on our strong enemy and weak enemy.

If you are not strong enough, other people's enemies are much stronger than you, so what qualifications do you have to go to Huairou people?

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Han was really powerful and didn't dare to resist the suppression and attack of those aliens, it would have been feasible to adopt a soft policy towards them at that time. Now, those alien races outside the border have seen the weakness of the Great Han, and their ambition to betray and occupy the Great Han has sprouted, so it is not appropriate to be gentle with them anymore.

No, Liu Yu feels a little headache now.

He had just become the pastor of Youzhou, and there was a betrayal of Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang. If it's just his betrayal, it's okay, just treat him as a member of the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and send officers and soldiers to exterminate him. Even Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, the mighty Yellow Turban thief army, have been wiped out, so why be afraid of Zhang Chun, a mere fisherman?

If his officers and soldiers in Youzhou failed to destroy Zhang Chun, then he could also ask the imperial court to send an army to eliminate Zhang Chun. It just so happened that General Huangfu Song was in Jizhou, and some of his troops and horses were also in Jizhou, so he could be asked to quickly send troops to exterminate Zhang Chun.

But what made Liu Yu angry was that Qiu Liju, the king of Liaoxi Karasuma, who had a good relationship with him, actually rebelled against the Han and colluded with Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and others. Now almost all of Liaoxi has fallen into the hands of these rebels.

For this reason, Liu Yu also sent a fast horse messenger as soon as possible to send a letter to question Qiu Liju.

Qiu Liju's betrayal of the Han is actually equivalent to slapping Liu Yu in the face. Because two or three years ago, when he was in charge of Youzhou, he was the one who advocated the peaceful coexistence of Han and Yi, and during his reign, he did give a lot of preferential policies to those foreigners outside the Guan, and even Liu Yu also wrote to the imperial court to ensure that Qiu Liju was the lord of Wuhuan in Liaoxi.

This so-called Lord Wuhuan is a gift from the imperial court, but in fact he is the king of Wuhuan, but he is not there, in front of the Han court, he can't be called the king. These can be regarded as an agreement between Liu Yu and Qiu Liju at the beginning, through the Han Dynasty's grant, which is equivalent to the Han Dynasty recognizing Qiu Liju's status as the king of his Wuhuan tribe.

You must know that the entire Wuhuan tribe lives in the western Liaoning region, and there are many people living in the prairie outside the Great Wall, and they are numerous, and it is estimated that there will be millions of them.

And their Wuhuan tribe, in fact, has not really formed a unity for a long time, Qiu Liju is the Wuhuan tribe Karasuma tribe, which is the largest tribe in the Wuhuan tribe.

Qiu Liju has always wanted to unify the entire Wuhuan people, and at that time, Liu Yuzuo asked the Han court to give him a title, so that he could justifiably become the king of Wuhuan.

Qiu Liju, who he tried his best to protect, rebelled against the Han Dynasty, how did Liu Yu convince the public? And how can we re-implement a policy of softness towards people of different races?

If the officials of the Youzhou government, as well as the generals of the officers and soldiers, began to doubt his Liu Yu's policy towards foreign races, then how could he implement the Huairou policy again? If not, how will he gain the submission of those aliens? How can he go down in history?

He sent an envoy to see Qiu Liju and sent a letter to Qiu Liju, this accusation is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked Qiu Liju to see each other's affection, immediately stop the attack on the Han Dynasty, and then surrender to the Han again, he can protect Qiu Liju's current status, and he, Liu Yu, as a Youzhou pastor, can ignore Qiu Liju's betrayal this time.

This is also Liu Yu's thinking about things too naΓ―ve.

If Qiu Liju's surrender is really re-accepted, then Liu Yu will also lose the hearts of the people of Youzhou because of this.

It is conceivable that these aliens rebelled and robbed and killed their own people, and now they say that they will surrender, so they can ignore the past? Well, according to Liu Yu's thoughts, he must continue to implement his Huairou policy, and the so-called Huairou is actually to give them benefits.

So look at it, robbed his own money and food and killed his parents, wife and daughter, just surrender, and I have to give them money and food. They even had to give away some Han Chinese women. Well, giving a woman is indeed a very normal thing in this era. Moreover, those aliens are explicitly demanding.

If Liu Yu really did that, then it would be difficult for him to get along in Youzhou.

This is not? And he did.

Qiu Liju replied, naturally saying how innocent and wronged he was, saying that he was framed by someone and was forced to raise troops to resist Yunyun. Then he asked that it was not impossible for him to return to the Han again, but it had to be a truce first, and he asked the Han officers and soldiers not to attack him again, and then surrender to Liu Yu in front of him.

When Liu Yu heard Qiu Liju's reply, his mind opened up again, after all, if he could surrender and subdue Qiu Liju, then this was also a reflection of his ability. Surrendering without a fight, this is a merit.

He also really gave Gongsun Chan an order to stop continuing to attack Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju.

As a result, what made Liu Yu very annoyed, Gongsun Chan disobeyed.

Then, Qiu Liju also sent someone to deliver the letter, saying that his tribesmen were cold and hungry, and if he wanted him to surrender, he asked Liu Yu to send him a batch of grain, grass and clothes first, so that he could see whether Liu Yu was sincere and would accept him again. If Liu Yu can't even do this, then it proves that Liu Yu's desire to recruit him is fake and not sincere enough.

As for this Liu Yu, I don't know what he thinks. Perhaps, when he was the assassin of Youzhou two or three years ago, some of the policies he implemented gave him some sweet benefits, so now he seems to be obsessed, and he has to subdue those aliens.

He really planned to do this, thinking about how to give Qiu Liju a batch of food, grass and clothing, to prove that he could re-accept Qiu Liju's sincerity, and then make Qiu Liju surrender.

But food, grass and clothing, these have to be obtained with money, and how to deliver them to Qiu Liju's hands is also a problem.

His behavior is really equivalent to the behavior of the enemy. In the future, he is afraid that he will be scolded as a traitor.

Liu Yu also realized that it was not appropriate to do this, at least he really didn't dare to let too many people know, and he definitely didn't dare to let the generals of the officers and soldiers know, otherwise, I'm afraid that no one would listen to his orders in the future.

During this time, he kept visiting some old acquaintances, such as the Yi family's Yi Kai, these big businessmen, and naturally there were some wealthy families. When he went to visit, the main thing was to ask for money and food.

But it is obvious that Liu Yu has also hit a wall.

At this time, if he goes to advocate a soft policy with a businessman like Yi Kai, how can people support it again? It is already clear in front of me that those aliens have betrayed the Han. Who still believes in his set? Therefore, most people are excuses to deal with the past, talking about how difficult their family is, and saying that they will fully support him, the Youzhou pastor. However, if they ask for money and food, they basically don't have it, and even if they do, they are all a little careful, so that Liu Yu has no way to take them at all.

Liu Yu is worried, how can he get together a batch of money, food, and clothing, and how can he hide it from the officials and soldiers in Youzhou, and from the officers and soldiers who sent it to Qiu Liju, so that Qiu Liju can talk to him about rebellion and return to the Han Dynasty under the sincerity of receiving his sincerity?

If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan, who openly disobeyed his orders, Liu Yu would have wanted to go to the front line in person and meet and talk to Qiu Liju directly. For Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu is really a little stunned now, he is a real madman who kills without saying a word.

A literati like Liu Yu is most afraid of generals like Gongsun Zhan.

It was in Liu Yu's situation that a caravan owner named Liu Xian suddenly came to visit? And this Liu Xian is still a relative of the Han family?

Liu Yu read Liu Xian's name and felt that he had heard of it, and it took him a while before he woke up, and someone did tell him about Liu Xian, and he helped the people of a county with the power of one person, and he had heard of it a little.

It seems that this Liu Xian is the same as himself, or a member of the Han family? remembered who Liu Xian was, Liu Yu's eyes lit up, like the feeling that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

Perhaps, this time he is back in charge of Youzhou, how to find a breakthrough may be on this Liu Xian.

In this way, he didn't put up a fight, and hurriedly asked his henchmen to invite Liu Xian into the state capital.

Liu Yu was enthusiastic enough and waited in front of the living room of the state capital.

Seeing Liu Xian, Liu Yu was naturally a little surprised, looked at Liu Xian and said enthusiastically: "It turns out that you are Liu Xian, I have also heard of your deeds." It's just that I didn't expect that the real person is such a young boy Langjun, not bad. Come on, please come in, let's talk inside. ”

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to invite Liu Xian.

Liu Xian was also looking at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu didn't wear an official uniform, he was dressed as a scribe, he was about forty years old, and he looked dignified, but Liu Xian felt that his eyebrows were a little sparse, and he smiled, looking a little reluctant. I don't know why, but I don't like this person very much in my heart.

Sometimes, people are like this, between people, when they see the first impression of this person, they will have an idea in their hearts. Some people can hit it off at first sight, while others may never come together.

"The kid came to visit, hoping not to disturb the state pastor. By the way, this is approaching the end of the year, some New Year's goods, and small gifts are not a tribute. ”

Liu Xian waved his hand and asked Zheng Feng to give Liu Yu some of the gifts he brought.

Liu Xian doesn't have to worry about these gifts, Zheng Feng and Zheng Bo will take care of it.

"Oh? And gave me a gift? Liu Gongzi, you are too polite. Well...... I heard that you are also a member of the Han family? ”

Liu Yu excused himself from accepting the gift and asked.

"Yes." Liu Xian did not deny it.

"That's really good, speaking of which, we should still be brothers in the same clan, in the future, you don't want to call me the official Why the state pastor, I'm older, you can call me brother."

"Then call your adult Brother Yu?"

"Yes, Brother Yu is good, Brother Liu Xian, come on, come in and ask for tea." Liu Yu still accepted the gift, but as if he didn't care, he invited Liu Xian to walk in.
