At the end of November of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, in Shangshutai of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, the eight-member group of China and North Korea headed by Huo Guang was holding a small meeting again, and the discussion was about the performance of Ren Hong, the captain of the Qiang Guard, from Jincheng County.

Song Shuli first opened with "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold", and criticized his predecessor bitterly, believing that his management of Zhuqiang was excessive, which led to the first Lingqiang sitting on the big and the river uneasy. He also praised Jincheng Taishou Hao Xingci and Duwei Xin Wuxian for working together and actively assisting Ren Huqiang to carry out his work, which can achieve small results within two months:

Under Ren Hong's active mediation, the three and a half tribes of the Xiaoyue clan returned to the Han Dynasty, and were willing to change their name from the "Huangzhong Yueshi" to the "Yicongyue Clan", and the population of 4,000 households was included in the jurisdiction of Jincheng County.

In the local office, it is not important whether you solve the problem or not, the important thing is to do things, especially to let the court see that you are doing things.

Compared with the previous captains who have not done anything for a few years in office, Ren Hong's answer sheet handed over in the two months of his tenure is very dazzling: Jincheng County has one-tenth more population, and the three thousand righteous cavalry has strengthened the county soldiers. He also took the opportunity to ask for a one-year exemption for the people of Lingju County.

Ren Hong also summed up the shortcomings, because of the stupidity of his predecessor, the huge contradiction between Han and Qiang, and the restlessness of the Hehuang Qiang people......

It is this list that divides China and North Korea.

"General, it's just the Marquis of Guiyi Qiang, but 'Guiyi Qiang King'? There is no such precedent for Dahan, and he has sealed two at a time! Ren Daoyuan thinks this is a worthless military title, can he send it casually? ”

Regarding Ren Hong's proposal to make the Dahao of the river meanders "Hankaiqiang" outside Jincheng County and the "Beiheqiang" of Xianshuihai (Qinghai Lake) as the king of Qiang, Zuo Feng Yitian Guangming was opposed.

This is related to his resume, Tian Guangming is recognized as a "cool official", with Lang as Tianshui Sima, and later moved to Henan Governor, his style as an official is "to kill for the rule", in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the thieves of the county and the country rose, moved to Huaiyang Taishou, the butcher's knife under the soul of countless souls, but also pacified a shocking city father county order rebellion case, since then become Jiuqing.

A few years ago, the Southwest Yi rebellion in Yizhou County, Huo Guang sent Tian Guangming to the south to suppress it, he was also to kill as the rule, regardless of the good and the bad, the old and the weak, killed 30,000 Southwest Yi in one go, and the heads were piled up on the bank of Dianchi Lake.

Therefore, when Tian Guangming dealt with the border Rong Di affairs, he had one way: kill!

At this point, it is very similar to Fan Mingyou and Xin Wuxian.

"If a warrior stops fighting, if he can surrender his soldiers without a fight, why not?"

Han Zeng, the former general on the other side, raised an objection softly: "When the prince was fair to the southwest, didn't the county magistrate also seal a king of Jumachi?" The king of Jumachi assisted the official army to quell the rebellion, and since then there has been no major rebellion in Yizhou County. ”

Han Zengchao Huo Guang arched his hand: "The Marquis of Xi'an also said in the song that he used it was actually the old general's plan." ”

He believes that Ren Hong's performance is in line with the Han family system, and the subject tribes living in the territory are generally named Guiyi Marquis and Chang, such as the kings who have surrendered to the Xiongnu for a hundred years, they can basically be mixed with Guiyi Hou, and there are thirty or forty in total - this kind of Hou has no fief, and the treatment is very different from that of the Liehou and Chehou, just a name.

And the barbarian monarch outside the country, he was crowned as the king to show his winning, there are the king of Jumachi in the southwest, the king of Yelang, and there are more in the Western Regions, the king of Shanshan, the king of Ruoqiang to Hulai, the king of Shache, all of this, but Hehuang has only sealed a few Qiang marquis, and there has never been a king of Qiang.

"The Qiang people are different from the Southwest Yi."

Du Yan, the servant, coughed and spoke: "The reason why Emperor Xiaowu did not seal the Hehuang Qiang people as kings is that his secular clans are uncertain, there are many types, and it is difficult to distinguish. ”

"So now there are only four Guiyi Qiang Marquis, namely Xiaoyue's wolf He south of Jiuquan in Dunhuang; The first Lingqiang is not yet, Yang Yu; It's rare to open Qiang. ”

"Now not only do you want to seal the great heroes of the Xianshui Sea Beihe Department as the king of Qiang, but also under the two great heroes of Lingqiang, more than ten small heroes are the marquis of Qiang, and the Qiang heroes in Jincheng County are the marquis, adding up to more than twenty, is it too much?"

Du Yannian said earnestly: "The name and the instrument are not used indiscriminately, if they are used too much, they will be the same as the title, and they are worthless, so Jincheng Taishou thinks that Xi'an Hou's strategy is a bit of a child's play." ”

"Not much."

Dasi Farmland Yannian had a different opinion, and laughed: "Make more than 20 gold seals, use more than ten catties of gold, 100,000 yuan, plus the silk silk given, at most 300,000 yuan." ”

"But if there is a war in Hehuang, it will cost at least 30,000 yuan a year."

In Da Si Nong's view, the way to save money is a good way, if it is really as Ren Hong said, this policy can divide the Qiang people, so that the first zero Qiang isolated, this business is not a loss at all.

Huo Guang looked at Zhao Chongguo, and he remained silent: "Weng Sun knows the most about Qiang, what do you think?" ”

"The old man thinks that this is an expedient measure by the Marquis of Xi'an in order to stabilize Huangzhong."

Zhao Chongguo said: "The Qiang people pay great attention to caste, and different races are like hatred. Xian Lingqiang is a kind of bell, Han Kaiqiang is a research species, its territory from Jincheng County in the east of Caohan County, west to the size of the Yugu occupied by the first zero, south to Jishi Mountain, the area is vast, the number of people is large, and the victory is tens of thousands. But the land is barren, and the big and small elm valleys have been coveted for a long time, but they can't beat the first zero. ”

"Hankai happened to be in the south of Xian Lingqiang, blocking the contact between Xian Ling and his other departments, Heguan County, Fengyang Qiang, and Baishi County's prison sister Qiang, these two departments also participated in the rebellion of Xian Lingqiang during Xiaowu, and have close contacts with Xian Lingqiang so far."

"Let's talk about Beiheqiang, Beihe is also a big tribe, more than 10,000 soldiers, living in the sea of fresh water, after the first Lingqiang was expelled from the river during the Xiaowu period, west to the salt pond (Chaka Salt Lake), there is no less dispute with Beihe Qiang to compete for grassland, so far Beihe is still with the first zero gap."

"So as Dao Yuan said in the song, once there is zero rebellion first, it is very important to open the back of the Qiang and the Beiheqiang!"

"If you can make these two tribes the king of Qiang from a far-reaching policy, respect their positions, give them gold silks, promise benefits, and even promise to divide the first Lingqiang, and win them over to the Han Dynasty, then there will be two more allies in the west and south. In addition to Jincheng County in the east, the Xiaoyue clan in the north was surrounded by Zero first, and if it rebelled, it would be attacked from all sides. ”

This is what Ren Hong said, "the enemy is trapped in me".

"As for the addition of many Xiaohao of the first zero and other departments as marquis, in order to make them equal to Yu Fei and Yang Yu, to divide the first zero, and the Qiang part merges frequently, I am afraid that you Xiaohao will also have different thoughts. In this way, the offensive and defensive momentum of Hehuang is different! ”

Zhao Chongguo's analysis was very in place, and after seeing Huo Guang bowing slightly, Zhang Anshicai, the right general who had been watching the situation, hurriedly said: "I see, when the Marquis of Xi'an was in the Western Regions, he was proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, and tried his hand at Hehuang, the general was good at recognizing people, and he picked Ren Hong at a glance." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Weng Sun, you were still opposed to him being the captain of the Qiang Protector at that time, but fortunately, the general was able to override the public opinion. ”

Even Huo Guang praised this hand: Ren Hong has the ability to be true, but more importantly, the general will use people!

Zhao Chongguo hesitantly: "The old man does not have the wisdom of a general to know people, so he has lost his eyes." ”

It's almost over, Du Yannian has already said what should be said, and Tian Guangming still has some objections, but all of this calmed down in the sound of Huo Guang knocking on the case.

"Since Emperor Gao, in the matter of the four Yi of the Han Dynasty, I have always valued real profit rather than vain fame. As long as the river can be stabilized, let the first zero Qiang people rebel and leave, let alone twenty gold seals, what about two hundred? ”

It's not a shame to send a princess's New Year's coin, what is there to send a few gold seals and a prince's false name? The court didn't have to give them fiefdoms.

"Allow it to be sparse, immediately let the subject country make the seal of the prince of Guiyi Qiang, and immediately send it to Jincheng County, and let Ren Hong quickly start sending envoys to contact the ministry."

Huo Guang was also dry, but finally said: "However, no matter how fancy Ren Hong's vertical and horizontal skills are, it is also a small plan, if you want to make Hehuang stable, it is still as Weng Sun said, the most important thing is to honestly store grain and tuntian." Rong Di is cunning and untrustworthy, at most he can be expedient for a while, and in the end, he can rely on his own people. ”

"Didn't Ren Hong ask for his life for Lingju County and be exempted from paying for a year? Change to three years! The entire Jincheng County will be exempted from next year's oral payment! After the beginning of spring, 1,000 soldiers from each of Longxi and Tianshui counties were transferred to Jincheng County in case of accidents. ”

This is the last thing the imperial court can do for Jincheng County.

Huo Guang has a hunch that next year will be a crucial year for the Han-Hungarian game.

"After the battle in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu endured it for a whole year, and they must have a big plan next year. The Wuhuan war in Youzhou has not yet ended, and the four counties of Hexi have recently caught many Xiongnu spies who want to go to Qiangzhong. ”

"The safety of Hehuang is related to the survival of the four counties in Hexi, if Hexi is lost, the protectorate of the Western Regions will also be finished."

He crouched on the desk and wrote a secret letter in silk, the corner of the silk would always be rolled up, and Huo Guang had to find something to hold it down, so that he could free his hands.

And Ren Hong is a seal he pressed on Hehuang, the weight is not heavy, and it is not necessary, and it can be replaced by a big seal like Zhao Chongguo at any time.

After the book, Huo Guang put the seal button in the palm of his hand, no matter how good this seal is, it is not his own, he once had the idea of never using it, but he was reluctant, and he hid it for a long time and took it out.

"If you can't hold it down, you can put it on the shelf in the future."

"If you can hold it down, you may be able to hang it back on the old man's waist."
