Chapter 441: Choice

Hearing Zhang Liao's inquiry, Guo Jia touched his chin and said: "Xianbei is outside and the Huns are inside, the lord wants to set the state, it is the Huns who are anxious and Xianbei is slow, and now Xianbei has civil strife, it is a good opportunity, why not add fuel to the fire, make it more chaotic, and unable to look south, and the lord took the opportunity to raise all his strength to determine the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Ding, then the state is secured, and then repair the military revolution, iron cavalry, enough to hit Xianbei." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Liao's mouth, this is a long-distance and close-range attack strategy, it is indeed the most labor-saving way to solve the border troubles of the state at the moment, he fully approved of this big strategy, and immediately asked: "How to mess up Xianbei?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "But the word 'chaos' is enough, the grandson of Tanshi Huai, Qianman, and Putou fought for the country in the Xianbei royal court, and Budugen is the younger brother of Putou, standing in Yanbei, and responding externally, compared to Qianman's weakness, the lord can secretly support Qianman, assassinate Putou, and then help Budugen to avenge his brother, and fight with Qianman in the royal court, so that he has no time to take care of the affairs of the state. ”

On the side, Guo Yi's face showed a different color: "This plan is wonderful." ”

Guo Jia also said: "If Budugen is not in the plan, or Qianman is unbearable, you can send elite cavalry to pretend to be Budugen soldiers and horses, and sneak attack Daijun and Shanggu Xianbei to the east, rob their cattle and horses, and blame them for not attaching to the royal court, stirring up the Xianbei tribe dispute, Xianbei chaos, and the state will be an." ”

Guo Yi couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia again, this kid with his surname is not ordinary, he is full of tricks.

Zhang Liao was accustomed to Guo Jia's clever ideas, and he asked again: "How to determine the Huns?" ”

Guo Jia muttered: "The Xiongnu are different from Xianbei, all over the state, can not be eliminated, the Southern Xiongnu attached for a hundred years, many Xiongnu people have been accustomed to farming, in order to seek stability, only the Xiongnu nobles are fierce and untamable, greedy and plundering, so they can be divided and disposed of, those who are willing to belong to the lord will be collected for their own use, scattered their tribes, divided and divided, organized households and tuntian, and given education, their dependents have my favor, subject to my jurisdiction, and their young and strong can be used as a source of soldiers, serve me, but only Hugh Tu and several major tribes and nobles also. ”

Zhang Liao nodded again and again, solving the problem of alien races is always the most effective combination of grace and power, not to mention that the Huns who committed murder and looting are often that part, and most of the rest are victims, it is impossible to generalize and catch them all. The problems between different races are the most complex, and most of them are two-way, the Southern Xiongnu repeated rebellions after annexation, although it is the nature of its nomadic people, but the poor management of the Han court, improper handling, lack of grace, and inability to threaten are the main reasons for the repeated rebellions of the Xiongnu.

However, after the Xiongnu were annexed, they were still self-governing in tribal groups, which was indeed the biggest problem, and Guo Jia suggested that the tribes should be broken up and divided into households for management, which was a good way. You must know that the ferocity of those Xiongnu nobles is not only to the Han people, but also to their people like slaves, if their policies are used well, they can completely rein in many ordinary Hun people.

Of course, for those Xiongnu nobles, especially the powerful Hutu and other large tribes, they can't use the means of appeasement, don't think about it, it's useless to appease, and they must hit their forces in a scattered way in order to avoid repeated rebellions and plunder.

To the ordinary Xiongnu people to be gracious, with government decrees to control their hearts, to control their changes, to educate their morality, to the violent Xiongnu nobles to be dignified, to use force to strike.

Zhang Liao looked at Guo Jia: "How to pacify the rest of the slaughter and other departments?" ”

As long as the set of decrees implemented in Hedong was implemented, it would not be a problem to appease the ordinary Xiongnu people, but the key was how to pacify the rebellious Hutu tribes, which was a difficult problem. His current strength in the state cannot be compared with the Hutu Division, and he doesn't know how many tribes will support Hutu, so he has to prepare for the worst.

"There are two ways to go," Guo Jia touched his chin and asked rhetorically, "Does the lord remember Luan Ti Yufuluo?" ”

Zhang Liao said thoughtfully: "The Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, there was a war, how can you forget it." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although Yu Fuluo is a single Yu, but it is just a difficult single Yu, at the beginning of Yu Fuluo's father Qiangqu Shan Yu was killed by Hugh Tu Gehu and the right part of the Southern Xiongnu fallen nobles, and was taken away from the royal court, had to enter the Han to appeal to the Son of Heaven, although this person repeatedly, but than Hugh Tu each to attach to the Han, and now Yu Fu Luo robbed Zhang Yang, but did not harm, the two got along well, a month ago Wei County came to the news, Yu Fuluo was defeated by Cao Cao, the lord can be through Zhang Yang, invite Yu Fuluo to come to the state, revenge for his father, in order to return the royal court. After all, Yu Fuluo is a justifiable Shan Yu, and there must be the old department of Qiangqu attached to him, so the Huns will be chaotic. ”

"Not bad," Guo Yi said on the side: "Hugh Tu is brutal, the support of Shan Yu Bugu Marquis has died, and now the old king is regent, but he is old, it is difficult to convince the public, the royal court is turbulent, and many tribes think about returning to Fuluo, but they don't dare to offend Hugh Tu. ”

Guo Jia said: "This plan is also, the lord first made a dormant, showing the enemy to be weak, slacking the enemy's heart, in order to instigate the Huns civil strife, consume their strength, and secretly observe the movements of the Huns, distinguish the enemy and me, at the same time, from the Wuhuan, Xianbei secretly exchange for war horses, strengthen the cavalry, when the time comes, with the momentum of thunder, calm and slaughter, and set up the state. ”

Zhang Liao hadn't opened his mouth yet, Guo Yi stroked his palm and said with a smile: "This plan is very good, although I hate not to eradicate the Huns, but the Huns are powerful, don't rush to make it, just instigate its chaos, secretly build momentum, and look for opportunities to move." ”

Guo Jia sighed and said, "There is only one concern for this plan, I am afraid that if Fu Luo loses control and secretly unites with Xiu Tu, it will become a big disaster." ”

Guo Yi's face couldn't help but change slightly, Zhang Liao pondered, Guo Jia's worries are not impossible, for the Huns, in the face of absolute interests, the father's enmity is nothing, if Hugh Tu turns to support Fuluo, with Fuluo's capricious nature, the rebellion is almost certain.

He looked at Guo Jia: "How about another plan?" ”

Guo Jia said: "You don't have to use it for Fuluo, the lord has a clear posture, the followers treat it well, the rebels crusade against it, secretly monitor, get ready, once there are signs of turmoil in Hutu, they will strike preemptively, attack and kill the tribe led by Hutu with the power of thunder, and deter Zhuhu!" ”

Zhang Liao grinned, this strategy was neat and neat, which suited his temperament.

I don't want Guo Jia to say again: "This plan can be more worrying, we have too few cavalry, and Hugh Tu is powerful, there are more than 60,000 elite cavalry, coming and going, it is not easy to pursue, I am afraid of falling into a bitter battle, and I am even more worried about defeat." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, after all, his strength was not enough.

Guo Yi said: "It's still the first count." ”

Zhang Liao did not express his position, but only weighed the pros and cons, and the choice of which strategy was very important, and he had to think about it carefully.

After a while, Guo Yi took Guo Huai away, Zhang Liao sent them out of Mayi City, and when they returned home, they were still pondering, and they didn't want Guo Jia to say again: "Lord, and inside the state, in addition to the Xiongnu, there are also heroes and strong, sitting on the fort, there are many tribes, and there are those who secretly collude with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, so you must guard against it." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, sighed, under the troubled times, foreign races are troubled, but it does not mean that the Han people will not be harmed, today's Liangzhou rebellion is basically dominated by the Han people, and there are not many scholarly families in Bingzhou, and most of them live in the southern Taiyuan County, as for the northern border counties, including Yanmen, there are still many strong and bandits, they are familiar with the terrain, invade the counties and townships, and harm the Yusheng Hu people, which is also a big tumor.

Guo Jia said: "When the lord left Hedong, Wen Ruo advised the lord to go to the state and put stability first, and should carefully develop the people's livelihood plan, organize the people's households, persuade the farmers to teach mulberry, open a school, educate the people, and then open a border market, open trade, and also make Hu people." ”

Zhang Liao laughed: "I have never forgotten that military and political affairs should not be neglected." ”

At any time, it is necessary to stabilize a place, one is military deterrence, and the other is economic development, and there is no priority between the two; only stability and prosperity can make the people return to their hearts and develop and grow.

Until noon, Zhang Liao did not make a decision, but under the urging of his mother, he took the four daughters to worship the ancestral hall first, and now he is the general of Zhengbei and the pastor of the state, no one dares to say anything about this unruly thing, but praises him for his affection and responsibility, which is the benefit of power.

For women, the ancestral hall can only go once in a lifetime, that is, the first entry, because Zhang's mother can not go, led by Zhang Liao's uncle and brother, the two cried excitedly in the ancestral hall, Zhang Liao looked at his father's spiritual position, and cried in his heart.

Four and a half years ago, Zhang Liao's father died in the border turmoil, Zhang Liao resigned from the post of county official, went home with his brother to keep filial piety, half a year later was the new state assassin Ding Yuan requisitioned, because his father died only half a year, Zhang Liao was unwilling to enlist, refused on the grounds of three years of filial piety, but Ding Yuan was forced to requisition on the grounds that the military duty and filial piety did not exceed 100 days. There is a rule in the Han law that courtiers and civil officials Ding Wei keep filial piety for three years, but military generals must not exceed 100 days, and Ding Yuan took advantage of this loophole.

It was Zhang's mother who made the decision at the beginning, and let Zhang Liao go to the county to take office, and his brother took care of filial piety on his behalf, and it was four years since then.

Today's Zhang Liao is not the previous Zhang Liao, most of the memories of everything in his mind are before, this feeling is very special, he is fashionable outside and does not feel how, he is also nervous when he enters Mayi, but it is naturally strong when he arrives at home, maybe this is the love of blood, even if his soul is not the original, but it is difficult to avoid it, and accepts the original Zhang Liao's feelings.

In fact, when he first came to this era, he was always worried that Zhang Liao's family would find out the abnormality, and after he settled in Hedong, he had eliminated his worries and sent his younger brother Zhang Jian to invite his mother and brother to Hedong. First, the old man was reluctant to leave his homeland, secondly, the eldest brother was the eldest brother in the family, and the old man naturally followed the eldest brother, not the younger son, and thirdly, Zhang's father's three-year filial piety period had not yet expired, and Zhang Pan had to keep filial piety in front of the grave and could not leave.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to let Zhang Jian arrange some shadows to investigate the enemy situation in Ma Yi and protect his family secretly.

Then Gao Shun went to Taiyuan, directly entered Yanmen, and also focused on protecting Mayi, but Gao Shun did not make a noise, his temperament was cautious, lest Zhang Liao's important position in the imperial court spread, but Zhang Liao's family was on the cusp of the storm, and fell into an unpredictable and dangerous situation, so he secretly protected his affairs, and often gave money, and kept his mouth shut.

Like now, after Zhang Liao's identity as the general of the north and the governor of the state was revealed, his family had glory, but there was also danger, and it must be closely protected. Especially when he was at war with foreign races and dealing with Haoqiang, his brother was afraid that he would not even be able to farm, otherwise once he was hijacked, Zhang Liao would be in a dilemma.

Similarly, Zhang's mother originally expected her young son to go out and have a good time, but today after learning that Zhang Liao served as the general of the expedition to the north and the pastor of the state, it was not entirely a surprise, Zhang Liao and Guo Yi had a secret conversation in the hall, and Zhang's mother pulled Tang Wan and asked them about Zhang Liao's experience in the past two years, even if Tang Wan's daughters concealed it, she also guessed that her son had been very dangerous in recent years.

Zhang's mother is a person who values feelings, and she is also a wise person, she knows that the greater the merit, the greater the price paid, her son became a general in just four years, and he is in the army, how much merit has he made? How many dangers have been experienced! She had only fear in her heart.

After Zhang Liao left the ancestral hall, the first thing Zhang's mother did was to pull him to ask carefully, and then in front of his four daughters-in-law, she gave him an order to create a man! If you can't make someone this time, you can't leave home!

The state pastoral affairs are heavy, and the personnel are large, and no one can be mistaken.
