Chapter 153: Wei Qing's determination
After communicating with King Cumin, Wei Qing's idea of being surrendered to King Cumin was further strengthened.
War is not only a head-to-head confrontation between swords and soldiers, but also a contest in the fields of intelligence and economy.
But Gongsun Hong's suggestion Liu Che obviously didn't listen to it, and the wind direction of the Manchu Dynasty had also shifted to the main battle.
Walking out of the prison, Wei Qing breathed a long sigh of relief to the sky, and he was still determined to play it himself.
So early the next morning.
Wei Qing came to Jianzhang Palace in an official robe.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." For the victory of the Chest Han War, Wei Qing couldn't think about it so much.
After yesterday's test, Liu Che threw aside Zhang Tang's recital to resist his relatives, after all, according to the military merits, Wei Qing's military exploits are still insignificant: "Wei Qing, I am just preparing to find you." ”
Liu Che's purpose in preparing to find Wei Qing was also for the sake of the prisoners, this time it was not as simple as a knife falling down, but a strategic layout of the entire Hungarian-Han War.
"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that King Cumin be surrendered." Wei Qing gave up his hand to suggest.
Liu Che was stunned in his heart, Wei Qing can always gain insight into his own thoughts, and he is not a good left and right hand, so he said: "Actually, I also have this idea, but what Zhang Ou said is not wrong, kill a hundred people." ”
"Your Majesty, there are more than 500 military ministers for their mothers, brothers, and sons, which is enough, if we kill them again, we will lose the support of the Xiongnu tribes at the bottom, and it will arouse their sense of resistance." Wei Qing analysis.
Wei Qing's analysis is comprehensive, although the Xiongnu were beaten twice by the Han Dynasty in succession, but the Yuan Shen was not destroyed, and the Han Dynasty established a cavalry corps of 20,000 people with the strength of the whole country, and the Xiongnu easily waved more than 100,000 cavalry, the disparity in strength was too great, and the war against the Huns could not be fruitful in one or two years.
Now the only thing that can deal with the Xiongnu is to win the support of the Xiongnu insiders, and this insiders are the tribes that have defeated the Huns, try to absorb them, and then settle them in the border counties, which can play a buffer role and unite the Xiongnu slave layer.
Take King Cumin as an example, King Cumin commanded 80,000 tribesmen in the grassland, this battle suffered heavy losses, most of the tribes were scattered, Yi Zhixian and the King of Aries, King Lou Fu and so on incorporated a part, but there is still a part, about 20,000 loyal subjects of King Cumin are scattered in the grassland.
As for the role of King Cumin after his surrender, Wei Qing has also thought about it, that is, to oversee the affairs related to the Hu people in the entire northern Xinjiang, which includes recruiting some small tribes, detecting the movements of the Xiongnu, studying and judging the southward movement of the Xiongnu in advance, and assisting the border counties to make preparations for resisting Hu.
"Your Majesty, the Hungarian-Han War has entered a normal stage, and it is no longer the situation of repeated defeats and battles in the past, and the minister feels that the Hungarian-Han border is long, and it should not be an example at this time, but to take measures to stabilize the border and disintegrate the Xiongnu, which is a matter of the overall situation." Wei Qing looked sincere.
Liu Che frowned and thought for a while: "Actually, I also have this plan, what you just said is right, there is indeed one less person who understands the Hu people on the border of Northern Xinjiang to assist." ”
Just after Wei Qing decided to admonish, he didn't expect that Zhang Ou, the imperial historian, was also very concerned about this matter, and brought people from the Tingwei Mansion to meet the saint.
After Zhang Ou entered the hall, he looked at Wei Qing and wondered what Wei Qing was doing.
"Zhang Ou, you came just in time, I am looking for you for something." Liu Che stood up as he spoke.
Zhang Ou guessed eight or nine inseparable: "Your Majesty, but for the matter of King Cumin?" ”
"Yes, I just discussed with General Wei that King Cumin can't be killed, not only can't be killed, but also reused." As he spoke, Liu Che walked over to Zhang Ou and continued: "I have decided to set up a special surrender city in the border county to receive tribes and herdsmen who are willing to come to my Han and distribute the necessary materials to them. ”
Zhang Ou's mind was still stuck in the last time he killed the prisoners of the Battle of Dragon City, and he didn't expect Liu Che's change to be so great: "Your Majesty, this is not good, if it spreads to the people, the people will not be convinced." ”
Liu Che did not speak after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, it's a small matter to be surrendered, but every year the treasury has to take out silver and materials to support these family enemies, you know, some of the Han people in our border counties can't even afford to eat." Zhang Ou also expressed his heart and opinion, the Han people themselves are still very bad, and they have to take money to raise Hu people.
The officials of the Imperial Governor's Mansion must have sided with the Imperial Doctor, so they all reunited.
Wei Qing knew that what Zhang Ou said was not unreasonable, the surrender was small, but he still had to build a surrendered city, and he also took out money and materials every year to support the Hu people, which made the people of the border counties who were harassed by the Hu people all the year round think?
However, from the level of war, this must be done, otherwise this battle will be unknown.
"Your Majesty, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win all battles, and the minister will retire." Wei Qing didn't want to say more, let alone make any claims in front of these ministers, this sentence was just to remind Liu Che.

"General, what did Your Majesty say?" Ruoyao waited outside the hall for a long time, and saw that Wei Qing had just come out, so he stepped forward and asked: "Actually, it's better not to kill, just the Hun opposition supported by the Han Dynasty." ”
Ruoyao still understands this opposition.
In modern times, the game between major powers is like this, and when the United States destroys other countries, it will support or support the opposition of an enemy according to the routine.
Wei Qing was a little worried, he was in his thirties and his IQ was really not enough to walk in the court: "Look at Your Majesty, if you kill it, then you can only continue to fight hard." ”
Wei Qing's face became more and more worried, not only about King Cumin, but also about the reward.
According to the military merit system, five people in this battle were named marquis, seventeen were promoted to generals, hundreds of people were awarded small titles and gold rewards, and thousands of people were rewarded with good fields and houses.
This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, because he has also read the reports of other places, and the common rewards of Yuyang, Yanmen and Youbeiping are only ten junior lords, two of them have been promoted to generals, and very few have been awarded good land houses.
It was also a war with the Huns, and the Tiger Ben army took all the rewards.
"Ruoyao, you don't mind if you crossed out your military exploits for capturing King Cumin from the report, right?" Wei Qing thought for a while, but still revealed the news to Ruoyao.
Ruoyao is not for money, not for fame, but for experiencing these glorious years, so she sees it very lightly, and knows Wei Qing's purpose for doing this.
"Your Majesty only saw your victory in the battle against King Cumin, but did not see the hardships of the soldiers and civilians of the border counties to resist the Hu people, it is really unfair." Ruoyao especially remembered the days when she fought side by side with Han Anguo and Li Guang.
Historically, Liu Che was very suspicious and seemed to have been there since he was young, and it was not providence that Wei Qing was able to survive from the complicated and strife of the court, but it did take some brain cells.
