Chapter 261: Liu Yu, who deceived himself

How to use materials to compensate for the money spent on the purchase of thick cotton clothes, Liu Xian is already very familiar with it. immediately negotiated with Liu Yu about how to use what materials to deliver to himself.

In fact, they are all inseparable from food, horses, iron tools, and so on. But Liu Xian asked Liu Yu for a batch of ploughing cattle, mules, horses and other materials.

In fact, Jizhou and Youzhou belong to the north, and usually these areas are not too short of cattle.

The most important thing is that Jizhou is deeply affected by the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and those cultivated cattle are basically robbed and killed for meat.

The situation in Youzhou is much better than that in Jizhou, and Youzhou is close to the foreign races outside the Guan, and can get a large number of cattle, sheep and horses from the hands of those nomads.

And this Liu Yu's relationship with those aliens is indeed good, and he asks those aliens for cattle and horses, which is also much more convenient.

I knew that Liu Xian knew that it would be so smooth to visit Liu Yu, and Liu Xian didn't need to talk about a deal with Zhou Wu at all, and it might be more convenient to make a deal directly with Liu Yu.

But that's okay anymore. After all, Liu Xian needed not a few horses. It can even be said that a thousand horses is not too much, even one horse is not too much, and if you can get 100,000 war horses, it will be the best. Think about it, when the time comes, you can form an army of 100,000 cavalry, what kind of momentum will it be?

But Liu Xian also knows that this anxious person can't become fat, and many things have to be done slowly step by step. Now Liu Xian is secretly accumulating strength, and when the time comes, he will officially establish a military horse.

If the world knows now that Liu Xian is buying a large number of war horses and forming his own people, then others will feel that Liu Xian has bad intentions at a glance, and it will immediately arouse other vigilance, especially the vigilance of the imperial court.

Liu Xian plans to buy a batch of war horses every year when it is convenient to buy them, and these war horses will also be placed in other places and will not be gathered together.

What made Liu Xian feel a little pity for the time being was that there was no military general who was really good at cavalry warfare to train cavalry for himself.

According to some information, Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong This kind of cavalry should not have taken shape yet, and it still has to go through some actual combat to accumulate experience before it can be trained into this invincible cavalry. Of course, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry may have something to do with Zhao Yun. At the moment, Zhao Yundu has not yet left the mountain, and he has not yet joined Gongsun Zhan, so for the time being, there is no cavalry army of Baima Yicong.

In fact, Liu Xian has now taken the people of Zhaojia Village away, and Zhao Yun will return to his account sooner or later. But Liu Xian felt that even if Zhao Yunyi went down the mountain, he probably still needed to go through the experience, because even if it was Zhao Yun, it was impossible for him to be proficient in cavalry combat all of a sudden, and he had to have a certain amount of experience. Liu Xian also thought about it, even if Zhao Yun came to vote for him now, he would let him vote for Gongsun Chan first, let him follow Gongsun Chan to fight those aliens, and it was only right to accumulate combat experience in cavalry.

Just like Huang Zhong now, Liu Xian left Huang Zhong in Gongsun Zhan's army, which is such a purpose.

Of course, Liu Xian is not ignorant of cavalry combat, as a traverser, he naturally knows what kind of cavalry is the best and strongest.

Liu Xian believes that the most powerful cavalry is actually the cavalry of the Jurchen people during the Yuan Dynasty. They come and go like the wind, the impact of melee slashing is strong, and everyone is skilled in mounted archery, an invincible cavalry army that once dominated the world.

It is necessary to form a truly invincible cavalry army by yourself.

Now, if he could, Liu Xian hoped to recruit some martial artists who were skilled in cavalry warfare from Bingzhou and Xiliang to train cavalry for himself.

It would be nice if you could get Ma Chao or Zhang Liao.

Oh, Liu Xian is daydreaming.

After negotiating the transaction with Liu Yu, Liu Yu naturally wouldn't let Liu Xian leave like this, he looked at Huang Wudie and Zheng Feng with some words.

Seeing this, Liu Xian knew that he had something to say to himself alone, so he had to say, "Uncle Zheng, Wudie, you go outside and wait for me first." ”

"Okay." Zheng Bo and Huang Wudie had no opinion, got up and went outside.

Liu Yu saw that Liu Xian was so sensible, and he liked it even more, so he said: "Brother Liu Xian, now that I have something to do for my brother, I want to ask you to help my brother, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

Liu Xian didn't know what Liu Yu wanted him to help do, so naturally it was impossible for him to agree. What's more, although Liu Xianzi said that he had negotiated a deal with Liu Yu, he still didn't like this Liu Yu very much in his heart, and this kind of dislike was the one that had no reason.

"Alas, that's right, you know, Brother Wei has just served as Youzhou Pastor for a short time. After taking office, I found that the Youzhou government, especially the official offices in various places, had changed, and it was no longer the official officials who were familiar to my brother two or three years ago. Nowadays, many officials are against their brothers, and they do not listen to the announcement, especially the officials and soldiers of the government are even more difficult to control. ”

Liu Xian listened and nodded.

For this, Liu Xian can understand it. Liu Yu does not have military horses in his hands like Huangfu Song, although he is not alone, but with his little human strength, he will definitely not be able to completely control the entire Youzhou.

"I've always been a brother, and I've been implementing a soft policy for those people of different races, and I once had some achievements. Now that the Karasuma people are rebelling, there must be a reason for the brother's thoughts. Otherwise, he would not easily rebel and would not betray the Han. Therefore, Brother Wei believes that this rebellion is actually not a big fight, and it can be resolved peacefully, and Brother Wei is sure that Qiu Liju will surrender and submit to our Han. Liu Yu continued: "In order to understand the situation, Brother Wei sent a secret envoy to meet Qiu Liju, and Qiu Liju has also promised that as long as Gongsun Chan stops attacking, then he can negotiate with Brother Wei. ”

"Negotiations?" Liu Xian was noncommittal, because Liu Xian knew that it was impossible for Qiu Liju to rebel against the Han this time, and he would fight with Gongsun Chan for several years.

"Yes, negotiating." Liu Yu didn't understand Liu Xian's tone, he only thought that Liu Xian felt a little surprised, and he said with some annoyance: "Originally, Brother Wei had already given Gongsun Chan an order to transfer him back to Youbeiping to guard, as long as he retreated back to Youbeiping, then Brother Wei could go to meet Qiu Liju, but the hateful thing is that Gongsun Chan actually dared to disobey the order." made it impossible for Brother Wei to negotiate with Qiu Liju. ”

It is impossible to retreat, if Gongsun Chan really obeys his order to retreat, then now those aliens may have come in, and this time, the entire Youzhou will not be at peace. At that time, I don't know how many people were ruthlessly burned and looted by those aliens.

In fact, a few years later, Gongsun Chan pursued and killed Qiu Liju, but he was trapped for more than 200 days because he was alone. In the meantime, the aliens invaded Youzhou in a big way, and plundered in Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places. It has caused great harm to the people of Youzhou, Hebei and Qingdao.

Liu Xian naturally would not let these tragedies happen again, so Liu Xian and the head of the Yi family said that he would do his best to help Gongsun Zhan for this reason.

Liu Xian can support and help Gongsun Zhan if possible. Because Liu Xian is not afraid of Gongsun Chan's strength, because no matter if Gongsun Chan is ambitious, in his heart, the biggest enemy is still those aliens.

Gongsun Chan does have a lot of shortcomings, for example, Liu Yu often uses it to restrain Gongsun Chan, saying that Gongsun Chan is not sympathetic to the people, and often indulges the military horses below to plunder the ordinary people. These circumstances may be true, but if you look at it from the standpoint of national righteousness, during the period when the Han Dynasty rose together and fought against each other, it was actually thanks to Gongsun Zhan who resisted the invasion of foreign races in the north. In this regard, Gongsun Chan can indeed be regarded as a national hero.

At this point, Liu Xian admires Gongsun Zhan.

In fact, in history, Zhao Yun first voted in Yuan Shao's army, and then voted for Gongsun Zhan, in Gongsun Zhan's army, although Zhao Yun and Liu Bei sympathized, but he did not leave Gongsun Zhan to join Liu Bei, and in the end, it was after Gongsun Zhan's army was defeated and died, Zhao Yun voted for Liu Bei again. He went to Xuzhou with Liu Bei, but returned to Gongsun Zhan's account, which shows that Gongsun Chan is not a useless person. Otherwise, Zhao Yun would not be so loyal to Gongsun Zhan.

"So specifically, what does my brother want me to help with? Gongsun Chan should be unlikely to withdraw from the army, he seems to have a great hatred for those Wuhuan people. Liu Xian asked.

"That's right, the Wuhuan tribe Karasuma Qiuli Residence is right between our Youzhou and other alien people outside the Guan, so the Qiuli Residence tribe is really important. If he submits to our Han, then other foreign tribes can submit to our Han. Therefore, it is imperative for the brother to subdue the Qiu Li Residence Department. The problem now is that Gongsun Chan is unwilling to withdraw his troops and continue to attack them. In this way, they think that Brother Wei's Youzhou pastor can't be the master in Youzhou at all, so they are unwilling to negotiate with Brother Wei. ”

"So what else can I do, brother?"

Liu Yu was silent for a while, and it seemed that he had decided for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Not long ago, Qiu Liju sent a letter saying that surrender is not impossible, but our Han side has not expressed to them the sincerity of accepting them to surrender again. Therefore, he hoped that he could give them some much-needed supplies, the most important of which was thick cotton clothing. No, this batch of cotton clothes purchased by Brother Wei and Brother Liu Xian is intended to be given to Qiu Liju, first to express the sincerity of our Han to these aliens. As long as they receive these supplies, then they will definitely stop fighting first and are willing to negotiate with their brothers. β€œ

"What?" Liu Xian was really a little shocked, he was shocked that this Liu Yu actually dared to do this, this is the behavior of the enemy, he really planned to give the batch of thick cotton clothes he bought from himself to Qiu Liju?

Liu Yu also seemed to see Liu Xian's surprise, and he hurriedly explained: "Brother Liu Xian, the batch of materials purchased from you only needs to be given to Qiu Liju for one or two hundred thousand. Otherwise, there are other uses for brothers. ”

Liu Yu was afraid that Liu Xian would oppose his plan, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Wei has already sent an envoy to the Xianbei and other clans, and I believe that news will come back soon." At the same time that I was talking to Chuliju, I was also talking to other foreign tribes. The rest of the thick cotton clothes were given to other foreign tribes for the Brotherhood. And the condition is that they must continue to be vassals to our Han Dynasty, and in case the negotiations between the brother and Qiu Liju collapse, then tribes such as the Xianbei tribe will send troops to threaten Qiu Liju's rear and force Qiu Liju to surrender. That's the way it is. ”

Liu Yu looked at Liu Xian and said: "Brother Liu Xian, now there is no one available for my brother, this time I gave Qiu Liju warm clothes, I don't know what the situation is serious, and I don't know if I am a brother who is working hard, I am bound to think that my brother is collaborating with the enemy, so I can't let too many people know." Now it's Brother Liu Xian, you know your brother's plan, even if it's your brother's henchman, you don't know. For this reason, Brother Wei wants to ask Brother Liu Xian for your help, and he is busy sending about 10,000 or 20,000 pieces of thick cotton clothes to Qiu Liju's hands. As long as Qiu Liju received something and was willing to negotiate with Brother Wei, Brother Wei immediately went to talk to Qiu Liju. ”

"Being a brother is actually also for our Han, if you continue to fight, it will be some meaningless sacrifices for our Han and other races, if you can surrender without a fight, wouldn't it be the best? This year's Yellow Turban Riot, we Han have fought for a year, the people are suffering, for my brother, this is also for the sake of our Han people. Please Brother Liu Xian must help Brother Wei this time. ”

Liu Xian was really speechless at the moment.

This person wants to do something, and he can always find many reasons to explain himself.

No matter what reason Liu Yu has, how many grandiose excuses there are. However, under the attitude of an unknown enemy, giving the enemy the strategic materials that the enemy urgently needs is in itself an act of real capital to the enemy.

Liu Xian felt that Liu Yu seemed to be really too naΓ―ve, perhaps, Liu Yu thought that he had a special understanding of those aliens.

But he didn't see at all that among the small tribes under his realization, which of them was a fuel-efficient lamp? Whether it's Wuhuan, or Xianbei, or Xiongnu, etc. Which of them isn't eyeing the big man?

In this ancient era, the contradictions between the Han and those minority tribes were actually really difficult to reconcile. The only thing that is that the Han is strong and deters them, and they really need real money to support and assist them. Otherwise, sooner or later, they will come to the big Han.

In short, one day those aliens are not completely sinicized, before they have a sense of belonging to a unified China, and before they completely change their living conditions, they must and will definitely invade the Han Dynasty.

In post-modern China, a country with more than 50 minority nationalities, it took one or two thousand years of hard work to allow all ethnic groups to coexist peacefully, and each ethnic group recognized their identity as Chinese.

Now, Liu Yu thinks that he can subdue those aliens, but he is actually deceiving himself.
