Section 526 Enlightenment (3)
"Things to do at home...... Zhang Yue looked at Liu Ju and said slowly: "It's actually very simple......
He bowed his head and bowed: "The minister, please go home, write to Your Majesty, please fight with the Huns!" β
When Liu heard this, he was shaken violently.
Killing soldiers was his main proposition and political appeal three years after the Yuan Dynasty.
It is the basic proposition of many of his ministers.
The reason is, of course, the same - the current territory of the Han dynasty is safe enough, and the Huns have learned a lesson, and the cost of national strength to send tens of millions of people to the battlefield will outweigh the losses.
The idea of being friendly and friendly, which is hostile to hawks and radicals, is, to some extent, not unreasonable.
After all, as soon as this cannon goes off, it will be ten thousand taels of gold!
The consumption of war in the era of cold weapons is not as exaggerated as the consumption of modern warfare.
However, compared with the small-scale peasant economy and society, it is also a heavy burden.
What's more, a large number of young people have left their homeland and gone to fight in foreign lands thousands of miles away, which has caused production and life in many places to fall into trouble.
In comparison, many scholars and doctors feel that it is more cost-effective to be friendly in the past.
Every year, send some silk treasures and spices and gold to the Huns, and you can exchange for peace.
If you die, send a so-called princess over.
Although this is ugly, it can save a lot of resources and use these resources for the construction of the Han family.
In particular, when the Han-Hungarian War became more and more mired in a protracted confrontation, the long war made many people suffer and oppress.
At the same time, many people lost a lot of their rights because of the war.
Not to mention a salt and iron official camp, one loses evenly, how many people's interests have been harvested simply and rudely?
Those whose interests have been damaged certainly hope that everything will return to what it used to be.
It was a time when Han and Hungary did not go to war, and the country did not need to reap commercial profits for the sake of war.
If it was before, Liu Ju was afraid that he would have brushed his sleeves away the moment Zhang Yue spoke, at least he would have shown displeasure.
But now......
Liu Ju even began to doubt himself, and he naturally lost his past self-confidence in the war and the problem of the Han-Hun war.
On the contrary, he couldn't even grasp the pros and cons of this war.
He looked at Zhang Yue, muttered for a moment, and asked, "That's it?" β
"That's it!" Zhang Yue said softly: "Otherwise, what else do you want at home?" β
"But ......" Liu Ju shook his head and said, "Lone doesn't understand war at all, let alone commanding ......."
"Rashly proposing a war, lonely and worried about ......"
"Don't worry about it at home...... Zhang Yue chuckled: "It's just a request for soldiers, not really a big war with the Huns!" β
"And now, the situation between Han and Hungary cannot be fought......"
Han and Hungary really can't fight now!
Because, Guanzhong has just suffered a total poor harvest this year, and the court has wasted all its strength, relying on the resources obtained from harvesting the wealth of Gongsun He's father and son and a large number of Ziqian merchants, as well as a large number of squatting ducks and squatting owls transferred from the southwest region, barely let the disaster really happen.
However, it also consumes a lot of power because of this!
Not to mention, in order to stabilize Guanzhong, the state used a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain from Aocang day and night to Beijing.
In order to avoid the high price of grain in Guanzhong, countless officials were mobilized and rationing was implemented.
Although now, the effect is not bad.
But the energy of the country has almost been consumed.
Even the Qin State back then, didn't it stop expanding abroad because of the construction of the Zhengguo Canal?
What's more, until now, the problems caused by the summer drought have only been alleviated.
The real test is yet to come!
In the spring and summer of this winter and next year.
Winter is just around the corner.
At that time, the temperature in the entire Guanzhong will drop rapidly.
At that time, the slope will be blocked by heavy snow and the river will be frozen.
Whether it is the grain of Shu County, Southwest China or Luoyang, it can no longer be transported to Guanzhong as quickly as it is now.
Millions of people in Guanzhong consume astronomical amounts of food every day.
Therefore, the country will have only one choice at that time - to ask for grain from the north!
Transshipment of grain from Taiyuan and Jinyang.
This will inevitably lead to the rapid depletion of the Han army's strategic grain reserves.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Han army to launch any strategic offensive.
To be honest, it is already remarkable to be able to hold the existing line of defense and stabilize the existing sphere of influence.
But the Huns were even worse!
Judging from what Zhang Yue knew, the power struggle within the Xiongnu had become increasingly intense.
The struggle around Hulu Gudan Yu and the Sun Chase King Xianxian Yu involved a lot of their troops and energy.
So much so that they didn't even have the energy to take care of Loulan's affairs, so Li Guangli was able to smoothly send Loulan Prince An Xun and Princess Zhuyi to the Loulan royal capital to control the situation.
According to the report from Lady Fan, the Huns have now given up even Junji Mountain.
The main force of the royal court is moving to the west, and the huge cavalry cluster, with the momentum of Mount Tai, is pressing on the area controlled by the ancestors.
As a result, even the Han family reclamation troops in Luntai were able to go out of the city to harvest corn smoothly.
And there is no need to be like in previous years, every corn harvest season, a large number of cavalry are needed to protect it, so that the harvest can be safely harvested.
Therefore, under such circumstances, neither Han nor Hungary had the strength to provoke a major war again.
At least, the armies of both countries will not have a strategic offensive capability until next summer.
Death is just to create some small friction, a few low-intensity contacts.
Therefore, shouting about war at this time is actually a mouth cannon.
No matter how loud it is, it will only be a mouth cannon in the end.
At best, it's just a scare.
Liu listened to it, but he couldn't accept it.
His three views and the education he received made it clear to him from an early age that war is no trivial matter.
The two countries are fighting each other, and if they are not careful, they can lead to catastrophic consequences.
Before his uncle Wei Qing was alive, every time he faced the Han-Hungarian War, he would be particularly cautious and cautious, and he would pay attention to every movement of the Han army in front of Kanyu all night long.
How can there be someone like Zhang Yue, who uses war as a bargaining chip.
"Isn't this a bit frivolous...... Liu Ju said softly, "If the court is really determined to use troops...... Does loneliness become a sinner? β
"The ...... at home" Zhang Yue raised his head, looked at Liu Ju, and asked, "I don't know if the family has seen the "Theory of War" policy dedicated to His Majesty?" β
"The minister had a foolish opinion in his policy: war is the continuation of politics, war is the continuation of politics through another means, war is always caused by a certain political situation, and it can only be triggered by a certain political motive ......"
"The current political situation between Han and Hungary does not allow for large-scale exchanges!"
"Whether it is Han and Hungary, it is impossible to start a large-scale war in the current situation!"
"If he doesn't want to, he really can't!"
"Moreover, strategically speaking, the problems faced by the Huns are more complex and profound than those faced by my Han family!"
For Han, it was clear that after the summer drought and the ensuing political upheavals, the country needed time to lick its wounds.
Such a big thing happened and so many people died, but it is not a simple order that can be reconciled.
Not to mention, the current servant system is in chaos.
The Han family's horse administration system needed to be readjusted and planned to eliminate the influence from the Gongsun family.
In other words, at least until the Taifu system is back in operation, the Han cavalry can only hold on to the existing territory.
Rashly launching a large-scale attack on the Xiongnu will inevitably end in failure!
History also proves this fact, after the witch curse, Li Guangli's entire army was annihilated, and the largest and strongest field army of the Han family was destroyed and sunk in the sand.
Since then, it took more than ten years for the Han family to recover.
Today, although compared to the witch plague in history, the impact of the death of Gongsun He's father and son is not so great.
But the rush of a prime minister and so many nobles, ministers, and businessmen will inevitably bring all kinds of problems.
Before these problems are eliminated, the outcome of rash attack is doomed!
Unless a miracle happens, being able to retreat with your whole body is already God's blessing!
Not to mention, in fact, the Han family has to undergo a more severe test!
This summer's drought has already planted the seeds of this test.
After the great drought, there will be a plague of locusts!
The people of later generations have long since lost their fear of locusts.
On the contrary, I thought it was delicious, so that there was a terrible example of a locust plague in a certain place, and as a result, there were more people who caught locusts than locusts.
But in this day and age, locust plagues are undoubtedly terrifying!
Swarms of locusts that obscure the sky can devour all the crops in the area they fly over in a matter of days!
And the people have no ability to fight back against the locusts, and can only watch these beasts wreak havoc.
Once a locust plague occurs next summer, production and life in the Guanzhong area will inevitably be paralyzed.
Therefore, in two or three years, the strategic offensive capability of the Han family will be zero.
And what about the Huns?
The situation could be more complicated and worse.
The current problem of the Xiongnu is not just internal worries.
The sun chased the king's sages and sages, and openly sang against Hulugu within the Xiongnu, and a large number of Xiongnu nobles attached to and supported him.
It was impossible for Hulu Gushan to accept such a situation.
Because the name of the last person who was a powerful aristocrat who sang against Shan Yu was Yin Zhixian!
Fox Deer's grandfather!
Yin Zhixian launched a coup d'Γ©tat immediately after the death of the military minister Shan Yu, and he sat on the position of Shan Yu, which led to Yu Dan's exile in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Fox Lugu will definitely fight with the sages!
And outside of this uncle-nephew dispute, not only the Han army is eyeing it.
There's another contender on the sidelines!
Wusun's cavalry, which has been wandering around the Tianshan Mountains, waited for the Huns to start a war and pick up the bargain themselves.
The complex international situation, whether it is Hulugu or Xianxian, cannot concentrate all efforts to solve the problem.
In such a situation, the Han family must make a voice!
Even if it's just a mouth cannon, the Huns must be made to turn back.
Liu Ju listened to Zhang Yue's words, and his heart was also shocked.
He had heard of the book "On War", but had never read it.
Because many people told him that the book was full of 'tyrannical words', full of 'unrighteous words'.
But now it seems, perhaps, that this book is worth a look!
"War is a ......continuation of politics," Liu Zhi chewed on this sentence, and felt a lot in his heart.
He had read countless books, but he had never concluded the essence of war in such a simple and straightforward sentence.
But......
He still had doubts.
"Is my father willing to see Lone's play?" Liu Ju looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Can my father really forgive Gu because of this matter?" β
Liu is really a little uncertain about this.
After all, the old father was really angry this time.
With his understanding, I'm afraid it's not so easy to coax.
Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's expectations for the family, don't the family know?" β
Liu Ju shook his head, his eyes full of confusion.
Today, his father, in his impression, except for the happy times of childhood, all that remains is harsh and demanding.
In the past ten years, there has been nothing good to say except for reprimands.
Every time he went to see the Son of Heaven, Liu Ju was worried and trembling.
For his father, he is becoming more and more unfamiliar and more and more incomprehensible.
There is no way, what he and his father have said together over the years is probably not as much as what he and Zhang Yue have said.
And where is his father's expectations and requirements for him, where does he himself know?
All he could know was that his father always felt that he was 'not like himself'.
But Liu Ju has always felt that his father's behavior is wrong.
Where is it possible to learn from Daddy's actions and use Daddy as a template?
Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh when he looked at it.
The education of the Liu family has actually been very good.
Since Taizong, three successive generations have produced Ming monarchs, strategists, and military strategists.
It's a pity that when I came to Liu Ju, it may be because he was born with a golden key, and he has not experienced any setbacks and twists and turns since he was a child.
Under the wings of Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing, it is impossible for anyone to challenge Liu Ju's position.
As a result, Liu Ju probably didn't make any real decisions and things before Wei Qing's death.
Wei Qing can settle almost any problem for him.
So, it's what it is!
Just like Lu Aigong said: The widow was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman, and the widow neither knew sorrow, nor joy, nor mourning......
To sum it up, it is the flowers in the greenhouse, the seedlings that are cared for and grown.
Such a prince, if he is in the period of peace, when there are no internal and external troubles, he may still be fooled.
However, the current Han family has the trouble of the Xiongnu outside, and there are various problems caused by long-term wars inside.
It's really a tragedy to have such a prince on the stall!
If you are not careful, Liu Ju may become a guy like Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng.
People are good people and have good personalities, but they can't govern the country!
"If Your Majesty sees the book of the family, he will definitely be happy!" Zhang Yue bowed and said: "At this point, please rest assured!" β
"And, the minister thinks that there is nothing more than the family taking the initiative to ask for war!"
Today, the biggest dissatisfaction with Liu Ju is, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is just the main peace!
The old emperor was most worried that Liu Ju would come to power in the future, overturn his policies, and destroy his political legacy and achievements!
