Chapter 173: Spit Out the Old and Embrace the New



Malevolent? Now where does Zhao Yi have time to think about this issue, if it weren't for the fear of causing turmoil, Zhao Yi would even have the heart to kill these officials. Hearing Cheng Yin say that he had a plan, he hurriedly asked: "Sir, please say, as for whether to act according to the plan, we can discuss it again." ”

Cheng Yin saw that Zhao Yi's attitude was so sincere, nodded and said: "There is a good saying, it is called spitting out the old and accepting the new, although we can't spit out the old for the time being, but we can accept the new." Smash the arrogance of these state officials with some honest officials. ”

This is the same as Zhao Yi's original strategy against Yang Xiu, not to remove Yang Xiu's official position, but to use Gao Shun and others to slowly overhead the general, making Yang Xiu, the captain, a fictitious position, even though he holds the official position of the captain, but has no actual power. Zhao Yi looked at Cheng Yin, and said in his heart that Cheng Yin's plan was really vicious, but it was very effective.

"Sir is really scheming." Zhao Yi smiled, and the depressed mood just now was swept away because of Cheng Yin's words. His eyes rolled, and he pondered for a long time and came up with a plan: "What Mr. said just now also inspired me, don't spit out the old and accept the new, we can also rise and fall secretly." ”

"Rising and falling?" Cheng Yin pondered carefully, he didn't know much about military affairs, but he knew more about officialdom than Zhao Yi, and when he heard that Zhao Yi had such a high opinion, his eyes showed appreciation: "My lord's plan is very good." "Put those people in idle jobs, but put real power in the hands of their own people.

"I just got it by chance, and Mr. is the real ruler of the world." Zhao Yi smiled and praised Cheng Yin twice.

was called a capable minister by Zhao Yi, Cheng Yin's mouth showed joy, and he was very useful for Zhao Yi's praise, but he said two words modestly in his mouth.

After deciding on the policy, Zhao Yi thought of a few names and waved his hand, and ordered the government soldiers to send the letter out quickly. When the officials in the government saw the heralds running out of the government one by one, they suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, as if something had happened.

According to the date of the trip, Qiu Liju may not have returned to the Wuhuan tribe at this time, Zhao Yi originally wanted to send troops to uproot Qiu Liju's department, but yesterday he saw the official document of the county guard of Liaoxi County, so he gave up this move.

Five days ago, that is, when Zhao Yi was still in the Nanlou tribe, the Liaoxi County Guard found that the Wuhuan tribe in Liaoxi County had abnormal actions, and all its subordinates entered the state of alert, and also sent a number of reconnaissance posts in the direction of Liaoxi County.

The county warden felt that there was something strange about this matter, and wrote to ask the state government what to do. At that time, Liu Yan had already taken office, and the state government officials did not dare to change the affairs because of their official positions, and there were no generals available in the state capital. It's okay to say that the herald attack has won, but if it fails, the official who ordered it will end up absolutely miserable, and anything can be pushed on him.

It is precisely because of this incident that the best opportunity to attack was missed, even if Zhao Yi deploys troops now, it will be too late in the incident.

In one morning, Dian Wei has come to the palace to ask for war three times. In Dian Wei's eyes, since Qiu Liju had the intention of killing Zhao Yi, he was already doomed to have an irreconcilable relationship between the two parties. Rather than leaving this hidden danger around, it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible. And now Zhao Yi also has this condition, Zhuojun soldiers and horses plus the soldiers in the Youzhou camp, Zhao Yi's troops have 50,000 soldiers, and there are Dian Wei, Murong Fu and others to help. It can be described as a strong soldier. There were only 20,000 cavalry in Qiu Li's residence, and Dian Wei had an eighty percent chance of winning a battle against him.

"General Dian Wei's courage is commendable, but has the general considered the post-war situation?" Zhao Yi asked Dian Wei, looked at Murong Fu, who was silent next to him, and Zhao Yi said to him, "What is General Murong's opinion?" ”

Murong Fu arched his hand and said: "The last general did not think about what would happen if the attack on the Wuhuan tribe failed, but what he considered was what to do after the victory. ”

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Murong Fu in surprise, he thought that Murong Fu would tell the difference between the strength and weakness of the Wuhuan tribe and himself, but he didn't expect that Murong Fu was thinking about what would happen after the victory, "The general can explain his views in detail." ”

"We fought with the Wuhuan tribe twice, and when we fought with the Montenegrin army again, we saw with our own eyes that the Wuhuan cavalry of 1,000 people defeated the 5,000 Montenegrin army alive, and its bravery and strength can be seen. It is inevitable to use the power of the whole state to kill Qiu Liju's tribe, but after the victory, how should we deal with the remaining Wuhuan tribesmen, many of them are teenagers, if they are not killed, they will definitely avenge their parents when they grow up. But if these teenagers are killed, it will definitely arouse the public anger of the tribe, and then men, women, and children will be in trouble with the officials and soldiers, will our army still be able to do something to those old and weak women and children? ”

What Murong Fu said was good, the Wuhuan tribe was a foreign race, and it was easy for Zhao Yi to defeat it, but it was even more difficult to make the Wuhuan tribe completely surrender.

Dian Wei listened to what Murong Fu said, his face was full of shame, but he didn't pretentious, and admitted his mistake: "It's the last general who is too reckless." "Even if this move is a victory, it will also have endless consequences.

"What General Murong said can be said to be three points, the Wuhuan tribe is to be rectified, but it can't take such a direct approach." Zhao Yi said with a smile, "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible." I have asked the Liaoxi County Warden to explain in detail the situation of Qiu Li's residence department, and when Liaoxi writes back, we will discuss how to deal with it. ”

"My lord." Dian Wei and Murong Fu praised each other, and did not stay at Zhao Yi for long, but turned around and left the mansion and arrived at the camp in Youzhou. Zhao Yi gave the two of them the official position of captain and asked them to go down to train soldiers.

Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the Youzhou battalion, the soldiers are uneven, and Zhao Yi can only train slowly to improve the quality of the soldiers themselves to cope with the troubled times in the future.

There have been no major events in Youzhou in the past few days, Xianbei Kebineng is recuperating after the last battle, according to Gao Zhi's report, they arranged to return to the Xianbei tribe's horse exploration, Kebi Neng has recently annexed some scattered Xianbei tribes, and its strength is slowly growing.

After learning the news, Zhao Yi called Murong Fu and others to discuss the matter, explained the situation of the Kebineng Department of Shanggu County, and asked everyone: "What do the generals think of this matter?" Glancing at Murong Fu: "General Murong is a member of the Xianbei tribe, and has lived in Mobei for many years, and is very familiar with the Xianbei tribe, so he must feel different from us, please tell the general in detail." ”

Talking about Kebineng, Murong Fu was very jealous of him, and said after a while: "Since the death of the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai, the Xianbei Alliance has fallen apart and returned to a state of melee. The major tribes attacked each other, and there was no time and strength to invade the interior. The Kebi Neng Division, which was close to the Han Dynasty, took this opportunity to develop and integrate some Xianbei tribes that fled south, and its strength increased greatly. In the last war with the imperial court, although the Kebi Neng Department was injured, there were many scattered tribes in the Mobei grassland, and it would take a year or two to pull up a strong team. In the last battle, Kebi Neng already had some understanding of the strength of the imperial court and the way of attacking, and the Xianbei tribe that had made a comeback would be even more difficult to deal with. ”

There is quite a bit of a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, unless it is to kill Kebi, otherwise he will rest for two years to fight against himself, so how can he get it.

However, grassland warfare is different from fighting in the interior, the grassland land is vast, but the Xianbei tribes are all nomadic people, and the only way to deal with this kind of nomadic people is to ride and shoot and shoot. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to conquer the Xiongnu, hundreds of thousands of troops were often used, and many soldiers even had two horses to fight the enemy. Liu Che has the financial support left by his father, coupled with peerless generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, so he can defeat the Huns and show the heroism of the Han Dynasty.

Besides, Liu Che was the king of a country at that time, and his words were holy decrees, no one dared to object, and he could do whatever he liked. Zhao Yi was just a pastor of a state at this time, without hundreds of thousands of superior cavalry, nor did he have enough financial support, so he couldn't compare with Liu Che at all. It is almost impossible to take the initiative to attack and kill Kebineng, so you can only defend passively here.

Unless it is to contact the Ministry of Difficult Building, then Zhao Yi has a chance to win. However, this thought flashed in Zhao Yi's mind and was strangled to death by Zhao Yi. Because Zhao Yi's cavalry is too small, if he wants to win, unless the Nanlou tribe spares no effort to support Zhao Yi to attack the Kebi Neng Division, there is a possibility of victory. But even if Nanlou and Zhao Yi have become Weng's son-in-law, Nanlou will not bet on the entire tribe.

"The vast world has a lot to do, and Kebi can occupy advantageous conditions, even if I raise the strength of the whole state to conquer, the possibility of victory is very small." In the dictionary of nomads, there is no such thing as a monk who can run a monk and cannot run a temple. They can camp anywhere. Tents are easy to carry and can escape to the ends of the earth in a short time when they encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to resist.

"Your Excellency has a point." Murong Fu agrees with Zhao Yi's point of view, Kebineng and others can enter the depths of the grassland unscrupulously, if Zhao Yi dares to enter, he will definitely be eaten by those Xianbei tribes, and there will be no scum left.

There are no conditions to eliminate the danger in the swaddling clothes, so you can only watch the Kebi Neng Department slowly grow and then attack the interior. If you sit back and wait, this is not Zhao Yi's character, walking back and forth in the hall for a few steps, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed twice, and his face suddenly disappeared.

Murong Fu glanced at each other with Dian Wei and the others, and said in his heart that Zhao Yi's face changed too quickly. Murong Fu was a person with a lively mind, and when he saw Zhao Yi's reaction: "Could it be that the Lord has thought of a way to destroy the Kebi Neng Division?" ”

"I didn't think of a way to exterminate it, but I thought of a way to contain the development of Kebi." Zhao Yi said with a smile.

Kebi can be far away from the border, and it is the Xianbei people who are being wooed, what can Zhao Yi do to stop others from wooing people of the same clan? Murong Fu said respectfully: "The last general would like to hear the details. ”

"The general has lived in the grassland for a long time, do you know that Budugen is this person?" Zhao Yi asked with a picky eye.

"Of course I know." Murong Fu said directly, Bu Dugen is the same as Ke Bineng, and they are both rare Xianbei heroes. "The Budugen tribe is in Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places in Bingzhou, and it does not border my Youzhou, why did the general ask Budugen?"

"If you want to curb the development of Kebineng, you can only find a way to do it to Budugen or Su Li and others."
