Cai Yong's "Dictatorship": "Ding on the first day of the first month of the first month, the southern suburbs of the ancestral hall, the end of the ceremony, the northern suburbs, the Ming Hall, the Gaozu Temple, the Shizu Temple, the five offerings. After the five offerings, the next time to go to the mausoleum. ”

The so-called 'five offerings' refer to five important New Year rituals. The "nine guests" in Beijing must all participate in it.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Etiquette Chronicles": "Dahonglu set up nine guests, and set up the front of the hall. "Jiubin is the king, the marquis, the duke, the qing, the two thousand stones, the six hundred stones, and the lang, the officials, the Huns' servants, all the nine." In other words, many of the clan lords, the hundred barbarian tributes, and the counties have to participate in the 'Shangling ceremony' before they can return home.

His Majesty let Liu Bei stay in Beijing, which also followed the usual practice.

It's no different.

Liu Bei is a candidate, and the 'five offerings' have to participate. Da Honglu's subordinate Zhi Lilang has come to the mansion to teach Liu Bei the necessary sacrificial etiquette. Fortunately, there are many people participating in a festival like this. Just follow the crowd and you're good to go. Liu Bei has been very strict since he was a child, and he has never shortened his etiquette.

There are only seven maids, two righteous brothers, three retainers, and more than 100 guards in the house. The main book, Jia Xu, is very idle. Mostly in the study room on the third floor of the atrium, he sorted out the Pingqiang Codex for Liu Bei.

Duan Taiwei's Pingqiang Codex can be summed up in four words: Envy and power.

To the attached Qiang people, appease and treat kindly. The rebellious Qiang people were all exterminated.

Liu Bei made a rough count, from the second year of Emperor Huan's Yanxi, to the succession of the captain of the Qiang Guard, to the next few years of the general of the Qiang. The number of Qiang people who died under his sword reached 100,000! There is even a record of 4,000 people who rebelled and killed 3,000. The reasons are: the Qiang people are "inexhaustible", "God is angry, and the fake hand is punished" and so on.

This is contrary to Liu Bei's view that he only punishes evil and treats the crowd well.

But Liu Bei can also understand.

Nowadays, the Han court is not as good as before. The national strength can no longer withstand the continuous wave of rebellion like the wildfire of the Qiang people. Many regions, the same tribe, today are peaceful and tomorrow is opposed. Repeatedly, whether the imperial court was pacifying or crusading, it would cost a lot of resources.

As recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Biography of Xiqiang. In the first ten years of the Qiang rebellion in the first year of An Diyong, a total of 24 billion military funds were spent. In the following years of Emperor Yonghe, it was more than 8 billion. In the more than ten years after Emperor Huan built peace, a total of 4.4 billion.

These three military expenditures alone far exceeded the more than 190 million yuan that the Han court routinely rewarded the Southern Xiongnu every year. and 74 million to maintain the stability of the Western Regions and continue the silk trade route.

In the more than 150 years since the Qiang Rebellion struck, countless young and strong people died on the battlefield and starving people died in the war in the Sanfu area. Not to mention the withering of people's livelihood, it is simply Chino Qianli.

In the ninth year of Emperor Guangwu's establishment, Di Dao reinstated the Qiang school captain, and the famous general Ma Yuan then pacified the Qiang rebellion. After that, all those who surrendered to the Han court were placed in the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi, and Fufeng. Called Dongqiang.

The number of Han Chinese plummeted. And the Qiang people have proliferated.

Fertile land is wasteland.

Thereupon. In the former Han Dynasty, Guanzhong Sanfu, which could be called the heart of the empire, was easily classified as a Qiang settlement area because the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang and the empire looked eastward.

Since then. The internal migration of the Qiang people, wave after wave. There was even a record of "in the sixth year of Emperor Yongyuan, Shu County was the first to lead more than 500,000 people, worship the head of the Yi monarch, and give the seal ribbon".

One trades off the other. The Han people are decreasing, and the Qiang people are increasing.

The Han civilization was weakened.

Without the support of power, sinicization is unsustainable. The degree of sinicization of the Qiang people is not even as good as that of the Southern Xiongnu.

What to do.

Kill.

Countering violence with violence. Kill to quell the chaos.

Jia Xu even lied that he was Duan Cheng's grandson, so he could run for his life. It shows that Duan Taiwei is famous among the Qiang people.

In Liu Bei's view, the Qiang Rebellion has gradually turned from external trouble to internal strife.

If you want to completely eradicate the Qiang Rebellion, the only way is to continue to sinicize. First of all, there will be a large-scale migration from Kanto to Sansuke. Build cities and open up wasteland to make blood. Restore the vitality of Han civilization. Then intermarriage and indoctrination will be carried out, and it will be divided. It can be peaceful.

However, the premise of all this is power.

Without enough power guarantees, how can the Qiang people be willing to bow down.

None of this is in a hurry.

If possible, we will reorganize the rivers and mountains in the coming day, and raise the strength of the whole country to sweep away the razors.

"Whew-" Liu Bei let out a long breath and slowly rolled up Duan Taiwei's codex. Place lightly in the corner of the table.

"Is there anything new for the lord today?" Jia Xu, who had been sitting on the side, asked with a smile.

"Blood and tears stick to your hands." Liu Bei sighed with a smile.

Jia Xu nodded lightly: "Killing chaos is like mowing grass." This year, the grass is exhausted, and it will happen again next spring. If the root is not eradicated, it will be difficult to destroy the chaos. ”

"The text and words are reasonable." Liu Bei turned to say: "However, the Qiang people and the Zhuhu of the Western Regions are only separated by a belt (Hexi Corridor). In the former Han Dynasty, Xiqiang and the Xiongnu allied and attacked back and forth, causing the Han to suffer from the enemy. Emperor Wu sent troops to Longyou, placed the four counties of Hexi, cut off the connection between Qiang and Hu, and cut off the arms of the Xiongnu. Now the Xiongnu are far away, and Xianbei is extinct. The high car seems to be rising again. The Hexi Corridor is too long. Once it is cut off, the Han will lose its connection to the Western Regions. From this point of view, the rebellion of Zhuqiang is bound to be cut off. ”

Jia Xu said happily: "All big countries must be in the middle." Luoyang is known as Zhaizi China, but in Xu's view, it is still too easterly. Kanto is the land of dragons, so we have to be cautious and serious. However, if you want to create an immortal industry, Chang'an is in the empire. ”

Jia Xu's heart, how could Liu Bei not know. Then he smiled and said, "The side of the couch will not allow others to snore." The land of the three auxiliaries is bound to be recaptured. ”

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled.

The name of Hua Tuo has long been resounding in the hometown.

Another person who matches it is Jia Xu who is the 'Linxiang Marquis's Mansion Concubine and the Master of the Auxiliary Han General's Mansion'.

The lord is known as the unicorn, light on wealth and righteousness, and good at understanding people. There are all kinds of precedents, so why talk about it! Those who are recruited are called virtuous. Since I was a child, I have never looked away. Although Jia Xu is not famous, he can receive the double fortune and will be a genius.

Everyone in the countryside thinks so.

successively Lou Gui, and then Jia Xu. plus the little junior brother Liu Ye, who has already been decided. The system of seeking ministers in the countryside is a preliminary construction. It is said that when Xu Shu, Kong Ming, Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong are treated, the four major strategists will return to their positions one by one. The future is promising.

Who is Jia Xu?

Zhiduo is close to the demon! He is invincible in strategy and knows the art of war. He is the author of a volume of "The Art of War" and proofread "The Art of War of Wu Qi". It's a pity that he never had a general, and he never got the right to fight. Otherwise, the Sima family would have no chance to get ahead!

is still the same sentence, it is difficult for a mediocre lord to drive a good minister.

The two righteous brothers are both invincible and brave. Xu Rong and Cheng Pu are also good generals in the world. The men and horses under his command are well-equipped and loyal. In one place, there are more than ten cities and tens of thousands of good horses.

Could it be just to herd horses for the Hou Mansion?

What is the Lord?

There must be foresight.

The reason why Jia Xu resigned and returned to his hometown was because he saw the rolling undercurrent hidden under Shengping.

The female Assassin has been living in the Horse City Inn.

Out of the corner gate of the backyard, Liu Bei can arrive at the horse market. Frequent visits. Female Assassin Nin. I don't know if it's surnamed Zhang. Liu Bei called her Sister Ning. As for the surname, the female assassin was reluctant to say more, and Liu Bei did not mention it.

The two tacitly agreed that they were born early.
