Chapter 106: Becoming a Servant (2-in-1 Chapter)
Zhang Liao's victory in Taiyuan and the news of the defeat of the Huns spread for a long time, and both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were paying attention to the war here.
Regarding Qin Hua's fact that he actually asked Han Sui to be an undercover agent, the reactions of all parties were violent.
In this era of panic, being able to let his subordinates have 100,000 troops alone is something that the major forces would never dare to think, especially Han Sui is still a general, not Qin Hua's relatives or something.
In fact, when Guo Jia originally proposed this plan, Qin Hua wanted Ma Teng to go to the state, but the news that Ma Teng had been guarding Liangzhou instead of Qin Hua had already spread, and it was difficult to gain the trust of Taibei and others.
And Han Sui is different, as a general, the probability of betrayal is much higher than that of Ma Teng.
However, Qin Hua didn't completely believe in Han Sui, and before the plan began, Qin Hua had met Han Sui in person.
promised that he could get the position of state pastor after his deed was completed, and Han Sui also expressed his sincerity with great interest.
Just like Han Sui said to Taibei, Han Sui's family members all stayed in Wuwei County, and in addition, all of Han Sui's side were Qin Hua's personal soldiers.
Just in case, Qin Hua also mixed his few condor archers into these personal soldiers, once Han Sui really rebelled, that would be the end of his life, of course, Qin Hua did not say this to Han Sui.
The defeat of the Xiongnu army not only caused a lot of sensation in itself, but the monarchs of the major forces also deeply admired Qin Hua's ability to employ people, and the civil and military generals under their command also had a great change in Qin Hua.
Before, many people regarded Qin Hua as a state pastor in a remote place, even if Qin Hua showed great strength when defeating Li Dao, they only regarded Qin Hua as a person like Dong Zhuo.
"Under this kind of lord, it should be not bad."
This is the reaction of many people after hearing about this, and it is indeed rare to be able to fully trust the monarch under his command.
Looking at the current world, in addition to Qin Hua, it is estimated that Cao Cao can do it. However, after experiencing the massacre, Cao Cao's reputation was not very good, and Cao Cao's grandfather was a eunuch.
Although Cao Teng and the Ten Standing Servants are not the same type at all, the reputation of the eunuch is really not good, and only those who have really known Cao Cao are likely to be attracted by his personality.
If you just look at fame, the current Cao Cao is not to say that it is Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but even Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei, who has just risen and fell quickly, cannot be compared.
"My lord, General Zhang Liao has already led the army north, what do they need to do?"
"Just be a minister."
Compared with the few years when he first came to this world, Qin Hua went from being ignorant at first, to slowly adapting to killing, and finally even a little thirsty for killing, and slowly returned to calm.
With the increasing power, Qin Hua no longer needs to use killing to deter the enemy, and now he is a deterrent in itself.
In Qin Hua's view, the Huns are enemies now, and they will also be their own people in the future, so there is no need to kill too much.
"It's just that this Hun is brutal and difficult to control."
"Gongda (Xun Yu's character), who do you think the ancestors of the Han people are?"
Qin Hua's inexplicable words made Xun You a little confused, wasn't he talking about his attitude towards the Huns? Why did you suddenly ask about this?
"My Han people worship the two emperors of Yan and Huang as their ancestors."
However, Xun You still answered Qin Hua's words.
"Wrong."
Qin Hua's words made Xun You a little speechless, what was clearly said in the book was the descendants of Yan and Huang, why was it wrong?
"Gongda can know the time of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, what alien races are there?"
"It should be the Li tribe of Chiyou."
"And where did the Li people go?"
"Naturally, it was annexed by the Yellow Emperor."
"Are they still alien after the annexation?"
"It's... I don't think so. ”
Xun You seemed to understand what Qin Hua was going to say.
"Then let me ask you again, what was the alien race during the Xia Shang Zhou?"
"Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, Beidi."
This time, Xun You answered very quickly, and he already roughly understood what Qin Hua was going to say.
"And where are these aliens now?"
"Most of them have been annexed and fused."
Xun You replied respectfully, he didn't expect Qin Hua's ambition to be so ambitious, it was not just to dominate the Han world.
"When the Yan and Huang Emperors were the second emperors, the Central Plains was only a little larger than Si Li, but now the Han Dynasty has thirteen states in the world, how can it be said that the Han people are only the descendants of the two emperors of Yan and Huang?"
"The minister has been taught, how is the lord going to fuse the Huns?"
"Although the Xiongnu have been civilized, not those who drink blood, but he is still following the nature of life, we only need to promote the culture of the Han Dynasty in the Xiongnu, let them learn the sage said, after a long time, they must be admired for the prosperity of the Central Plains, and how can they return to the previous life? Look at the changes in Qingyang City over the years. ”
"The lord is wise."
Xun You has always felt that his lord's IQ is high and low, and after today's conversation, he finally determined that Qin Hua belongs to the wise and foolish type.
Qin Hua has two things that make Xun You very satisfied, one is that he can recognize and employ people, he was originally a first-order petty official in Luoyang, but he can be given important responsibilities, including Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Han Sui and others.
They can only be regarded as micro-backgrounds, but Qin Hua has no doubts about their abilities at all.
The second is Qin Huadu's control of the overall situation, as if he can know the future.
These made Xun You very impressed, this is the talent that a master should have. As for things like he doesn't know poetry and books, he doesn't know much about some trivial things, and the ugly words he writes are just small sections, so there is nothing to worry about at all.
Qin Hua has actually been studying very hard, but it is really difficult for him to memorize all these classical Chinese, and Qin Hua is just trying to understand the meaning of the book.
As for the ugliness of the words, he also had a period of hard exercise, but people who are used to typing keyboards and mobile phone input methods, don't say brush words, even hard pen words are written very ugly, and now Qin Hua can practice the font to barely be able to read.
However, between the pen and the dragon and snake, the resolute and domineering pen power was still partially praised, but it did not include Xun You.
When Qin Hua's order reached Zhang Liao, he had just defeated the army of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, which was the only army left of the Xiongnu after the army taken by the Youxian King.
Even though the number of troops is still 100,000, it still can't resist Zhang Liao's army and those powerful war equipment.
Now Zhang Liao's army is approaching the Xiongnu court.
Xiongnu Shan Yu died directly in a hurry after receiving the news because of his advanced age.
In the end, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu came out to beg for Zhang Liao.
Guo Jia came forward as a negotiator to negotiate with King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
According to Qin Hua's intentions, Guo Jia and Zuo Xianwang successfully completed the negotiations.
As the loser of the war and the initiator of the war, the Xiongnu needed to compensate Qin Hua a large amount of war reparations, of course, these indemnities were replaced by livestock.
In addition to 20,000 war horses, it is necessary to compensate 100,000 sheep, 30,000 cattle and 200,000 sheepskins.
At the same time, Qin Hua was allowed to garrison troops near the Xiongnu royal court and trade with the Xiongnu, and half of the taxes collected by the Xiongnu side needed to be handed over to Qin Hua.
In addition, Qin Hua would establish several public schools near the Xiongnu royal court to teach Confucianism.
The children of all tribal leaders, as well as those of the Xiongnu nobles, must attend five years as long as they meet the age requirements.
In the end, Qin Hua expressed his willingness to support Zuo Xian Wang as the new Xiongnu Shan Yu, and at the same time gave Zuo Xian Wang the surname Qin.
King Zuo Xian was most worried about whether he would be able to inherit Shan Yu's position smoothly, and since Qin Hua had already agreed, he also agreed to all of Qin Hua's conditions.
Because according to the current situation, even if the Liangzhou army can't wipe out the Xiongnu, it is still very simple to kill all the tribes near the royal court.
Qin Hua's request was much better than he expected.
When signing the contract with Guo Jia, King Zuo Xian did not continue to use his Xiongnu name, but followed Qin Hua's meaning and wrote his name as Qin Bao in Chinese characters.
After receiving the contract brought back by Guo Jia, Qin Hua was not happy because of the above content, because he had already known the negotiation process, but Qin Hua was still amused by the Qin Leopard of King Zuo Xian in the end.
The Xiongnu proclaimed themselves to Qin Hua, and Bu Dugen also expressed his hope to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Qin Hua.
In fact, this matter was raised long before Qin Hua attacked the Xiongnu Youxian King, and Bu Dugen raised it.
However, Qin Hua asked them to help him defeat Youxian Wang Taibei first, and then come to talk. Of course, in addition to this, Qin Hua also promised dividends after the war.
This time he got so much loot from the Xiongnu, Qin Hua was originally going to give out 30,000 sheep and 10,000 cattle to Bu Dugen, but he didn't expect Bu Dugen to refuse.
He had only one request, that is, to establish an offensive and defensive alliance with Qin Hua, and these spoils were given to Qin Hua as gifts.
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Qin Hua naturally would not refuse, and with Budugen as a barrier to the north, Qin Hua's rear was basically stable.
Guo Jia and Gao Shun led 50,000 troops to stay in the Xiongnu to deal with the aftermath of the war, and Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan returned to their own territory.
Zhang Liao led the army back to Chang'an, because Qin Hua's next target was Guo Yan in Luoyang.
When Zhang Liao went out, it was an army of 100,000, but when he came back, it became 110,000, which was actually added from Han Sui's side.
After Han Sui incorporated the Baibo Yellow Turban and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, the number of troops increased to 100,000.
In order to eliminate Taibei before, Qin Hua naturally allowed him to do this, but now that the problem of the Xiongnu has been solved, how could he still let Han Sui control so many soldiers and horses?
In addition to the 50,000 troops under the control of Gao Shun and stationed in the Xiongnu, Zhang Liao's side also took the most elite troops of Han Sui's army.
Because Zhang Liao's army is Qin Hua's main force, of course the most elite soldiers are needed.
As a result, Han Sui now has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left under his command, and they have to be distributed to various counties, and there are only 10,000 people under Han Sui's hands.
However, Han Sui did not complain, because Qin Hua really kept his promise to the imperial court and asked Han Sui for an official position as a state pastor.
As one of the heroes of this time, Zhang Yang is still his party guard, although the army under his command has not only not increased, and now there are only 5,000 people left, but Zhang Yang is not unhappy at all.
Since joining Qin Hua, he feels that his life is much better, and he no longer needs anyone to attack him.
Even the yellow scarves in the state were all solved by Qin Hua.
Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro, is also a good talent, Qin Hua originally wanted to recruit him under his command, but Zhang Yan said that he would take care of the old Yellow Turbans.
So Qin Hua gave Zhang Yan a Shangjun Taishou, and Zhang Yan placed all his Yellow Turban family members in Shangjun.
After the end of the battle of Bingzhou, Qin Hua finally began to rectify the situation in Bingzhou on a large scale, with the tomb of 60,000 people in the Xiongnu Tomb next to it, and the aliens in Bingzhou no longer dared to easily disobey Qin Hua's orders.
In accordance with Qin Hua's instructions, Han Sui began to gather the displaced people, establish Tuntian, and new villages appeared on the land of Bingzhou.
In addition, public schools have also appeared in major cities, and there are bulletin boards at the city gate like Liangzhou, where people will constantly read the words on the bulletin and explain Qin Hua's policies to ordinary people.
At the same time, the imperial examination was also officially opened to the state, and scholars from the state could also participate in the selection of the imperial examination locally, and then go to Chang'an to take the big exam.
This is done because with the popularization of Qin Hua's education, more and more people want to come to the imperial examination to try, and it is simply not enough to set up an examination, so they can only start the selection from the local first.
However, in this way, it will be difficult for non-local scholars to participate, so Qin Hua also has a recruitment hall in Chang'an, which is for those scholars from other places to live, and it is also the first step to screen them.
Because the time for Qin Hua to hold the imperial examination is still broken, there are still not enough people who have the ability to serve as the taishou and the county order, especially after winning and merging the state.
Qin Hua could only continue to select some people from various families to serve as the position.
However, with the continuous implementation of education and imperial examinations, Qin Hua believes that this situation will be greatly improved, and some children of the family who have made up the number of temporary numbers will be replaced at that time.
It's just that in that case, the heart of the family will definitely not be happy again, but fortunately, there is still Qin Huang in charge of the family.
"The families are all obedient to their own father's management, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Qin Hua thought so, but what he didn't know was that a hidden danger slowly appeared.
Before the winter of the second year of Chuping, Zhang Liao's army returned to Chang'an City, and the people spontaneously went outside the city to welcome them.
Qin Hua himself personally went out of the city to welcome the return of Zhang Liao and others, as well as to reward the army.
Because the army could not enter Chang'an City, these things could only be done outside the city.
Qin Hua was going to give the soldiers a holiday, take a rest in winter, and wait until the spring of the next year to take Luoyang.
But what he never expected was that before the spring of the third year of Chuping arrived, Qin Hua received a letter of surrender from Luoyang.
The payment was not Guo Yan, but Xu Kui.
