Chapter 173: Beigong Bo, Beigong Yu, Beigong Boyu
"These people are simply derelict in their duties!"
Hearing that Suning had entered Jiuquan County, Han Sui and the others immediately began to scold. Suning is a helpless existence for them, so they exposed their objects, and they became local officials in Jiuquan County.
They are not accusing them of incompetence, but of course they are accusing them of incompetence in another form. The incompetence of the group leader was relative to the imperial court, and the group of officials obviously did not govern the place well, but the latter's incompetence was relative to political wisdom, because this group of people gave Suning an excuse to march to Jiuquan County.
Then the news that came back next, what surprised them even more was that the Zhang family, a big family in Dunhuang County, actually directly invited Suning's army! Their public rhetoric was that the crops of the tenants in their homes had been plundered by bandits, and that not only food, but also the lives of many tenants, as well as their trust in the imperial court, had been lost.
"Trust in the imperial court? What are these words? ”
It has become two forms of kingdom, although in the past year, he has left a lot of political experience, but his political wisdom has not increased much because of this, he still does not understand this sentence very well, anyway, in the previous year, he has not seen such an expression.
But Han Sui, who was on the other side, explained to him clearly the mystery in that sentence. In the eyes of the rulers, the people of Li were originally like grass mustard, but since Suning appeared in Liangzhou, many things have changed strangely. For example, some people have the idea that after they work, they should get the fruits of their labor. If they don't get it, then they hold a grudge and call those who don't give them the fruits of their labor exploiters!
Although in the past, hired labor was also paid, but it was all given to the same existence, and no one dared to teach the common people the truth in the name of righteousness.
This is good, the emotions that dared to be angry with the court in the past are now said to be a loss of trust in the court, and after the court hears this, there are seven or eight people who will be like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and they dare not speak, and those Qingliu celebrities will blow the horn of attack, and attack the current policy of the court into a cruel and harmful measure. A benevolent policy will not make the people lose trust in the court.
Suning wants the imperial court, at least to let Liangzhou stab Shi Lianghu, to launch a series of more benevolent policies, and what is the main content of this policy, Suning, which has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness among the people, obviously should have a huge say, perhaps the entire Liangzhou will use his management style as a template to create a new leasing system.
He analyzed his thoughts to the two people present, and after listening to them, they all showed surprised expressions, because it meant that Suning's right to speak in the civil affairs of Liangzhou had also reached his equal status in military affairs. At the same time, the implementation of a set of management model policies means that their rent income will also change dramatically.
What exactly would this change look like, in the absence of good seeds, there would be no significant increase in the overall yield of crops in the field, and the tenants who had worked hard to produce a good harvest in their fields and received a lower percentage of rent, but did not significantly increase the total yield, which meant that the first group of people was likely to lose far more than they gained.
The end result of this change is that if the landlords are not under the same land, the number of imperial capitals harvested will drop significantly, which will weaken the speed of their grain reserves, and even affect the total amount of grain they have in reserve.
Without sufficient reserves of food, the war machine cannot be moved. Han Sui and the others seemed to have realized that Suning seemed to have targeted them.
Song Jian scoffed at his idea, from his point of view, without the accumulation of grain, it was just right to encourage the soldiers to start a war under the pretext of snatching food. Isn't the famous ambition a great harvest, which just becomes an excuse for their encouragement.
Han Sui secretly scolded this fool in his heart for not having long brains, what is the fate of the person who robs the grain, Suning has told the world through his military operations that at present, the nomadic tribes of Dunhuang County and Jiuquan County have been hit by Suning, and the excuse is naturally that most of the bandits have those tribes, and the actual situation has not wronged those tribes.
If the army under their own control far exceeds those northwest barbarians, then the fortress group built by Suning is enough for them to slow down their progress, once the war drags on, then the shortage of food will cause hunger, and the encounter of those horse thieves in the labyrinth fully illustrates all this.
Therefore, the contest with Suning must be based on sufficient grain and grass reserves, and every inch of land must be won steadily, and it must be solved by the traditional Han war method, otherwise, it will inevitably suffer a large-scale defeat.
A failure of that scale will inevitably uproot a few big families, which means that the business of their ancestors for generations will be lost to their unscrupulous descendants.
Han Sui didn't want that to happen, he had to continue to accumulate his strength, and the limited few allies should also continue to win him over! It is said that the few people sitting in front of him are not all his allies, and the one who has known him the earliest, has the deepest origin, and has the most stable relationship is the guy named Zhu Raoke.
Speaking of Ruraoke, he remembered that he hadn't spoken to him for a long time. These days, the guy doesn't know where to hide.
The last time the Xianbei people raided Liangzhou City, his son unexpectedly revealed the mystery of his life experience because of a piece of jade pendant, and it turned out that he was the long-lost grandson of Beigong Boyu, the old leader of Huangzhong Yicong! In this way, that guy is the old thing, the long-lost son.
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't expect that the leader of the rare Qiang was actually Beigong Bo and his long-lost son Beigongyu!
But since then, the guy has not been seen again, as if he doesn't want to recognize this relative. Although the old guy came to the door many times, he either fell into the air or hit a wall, in short, he didn't say a few words to the other party, and he didn't renew the father-son relationship that had been broken for more than 20 years.
People who don't know the reason for the love are still lamenting the absurdity of family affection. But Han Sui, who knew the disadvantages of this, knew what the state of the two grassland leaders was.
Ru Raoke has a rare Qiang in his hands, although his strength is not comparable to Huangzhong Yicong, but he is also an extremely weighty existence in Liangzhou. Under his leadership, his clansmen have long played a prominent role in Liangzhou, once he recognizes Beigong Boyu's father, then they may have to become vassals of Huangzhong Yicong. This is something that his people don't want to see.
Moreover, among his tribe, there has long been criticism of his bloodline, this is his father coming to the door, and it is a good opportunity for several careerists to see a good opportunity to seize his position as the leader, and now, not only is he not suitable to show his attitude to the outside world, but he also needs to seize the time to relieve the internal trouble, otherwise, whether his life can be saved is still a difficult question to say.
And Beigong Boyu's thoughts are easier to determine than him, the old guy not only found his long-lost son, but also unexpectedly found that his son turned out to be the leader of a pivotal part of Liangzhou. Of course, he wanted to take back his son and at the same time also put this tribe under his account, so that his position in Liangzhou would be completely consolidated, no matter which armed force he had, he could not underestimate his existence.
Perhaps, he can also think about the throne of the Lord of Liangzhou, and if the time is right, the whole world may tremble under his organization.
Although Beigong Boyu looks like a kind old man, he has never hidden his true ambitions, Han Sui is very clear about this, even Wang Guo and Song Jian have a relatively clear understanding of this.
Speaking of which, the Song family used to be relatively close to him, and even some of Huangzhong Yicong had served in the Song family, and they took the Song family's generous rewards, but what they did was to eradicate dissidents for the Song family.
The Song family regarded them as sharp swords, and they did not show any complaints, the culture of this tribe has a relatively high obedience, for the Song family, they could have helped the family to obtain greater benefits, but unfortunately, it should not be, Song Jian's little rabbit cub actually offended Suning, and as a result, Suning cleaned up the Huangzhongyi in the process of rescuing Leng Zheng, and the rest of the remnants, at the instigation of Suzsak, joined the tribe of Ruraoke.
Since then, the Song family has lost its fangs and claws, and has become a powerful family that can only shrink into defense, and their power has also collapsed because of their defeat in the confrontation with Suning.
Therefore, the Song family regarded Suning as the biggest enemy in this life. On all issues concerning Suning, they tend to maintain an opposing position.
In fact, like them, people who oppose Suning's rapid rise are not uncommon in Liangzhou, such as Beigong Boyu's eldest son, the guy named Beigong Boyu, is one of them.
The news from Wuwei County proved that a force under Beigong Bo also pretended to be Daobei, trying to get a piece of the pie when Wuwei County fell into chaos, however, they were also fiercely attacked by the local garrison without exception. The second column that Suning had just formed began to harass them when they had just fallen into the labyrinth array, and only after the dry food they carried with them was exhausted did they launch an attack in one go.
The outcome of the battle was unquestionable, and he was furious that he had lost one of his most loyal soldiers, and demanded that his father immediately send troops to avenge him.
However, the old thing didn't want to provoke any war at this time, he still wanted to spend two years to merge his second son and his subordinates into his command, he knew that it would be difficult to completely conquer the hearts of those people in a short period of time, so he was not prepared to create any wars in these two years, so as not to cause immeasurable internal strife within the tribe!
But his eldest son didn't think so, since the second son disappeared, he Beigong Bo has enjoyed the admiration of tens of thousands of people as the only tribal heir. This made his heart swell rapidly, and he often made a lot of commanding decisions, and after a long time, he didn't even pay attention to the old man, he thought that he was in the prime of life, and he needed to obey an old assignment, which was not very conducive to the development of the tribe.
However, he thought he was very clever to bury such thoughts in the depths of his heart, and never told anyone, however, the observant guys around him had already understood the information that could be revealed in his expression, so from time to time they had to pry this stupid boy and challenge his father's position, and sometimes he couldn't help it, and he would do what his subordinates wanted, but most of the time, he would be strongly pressed by his father.
But this time, his henchmen finally gave him a pretty good opinion, which allowed him to finally stand tall in front of his father and accuse the other party. Meet a small leader from a tribe that had defected to him just a few months earlier. The small tribe was left homeless because their pastures had been looted first, and they had to come to him in the hope that he would find them a good place to go.
In order to attract people's hearts and strengthen his strength, Beigong Bo divided a place with abundant water and grass from his own territory and handed it over to them to take care of, which quickly won the loyalty of this small tribe.
Beigong Bo began to implement this suggestion without doubt, he stood in front of his father, and said with righteousness: "Father, you know that the 20,000 soldiers and horses we lent to Suning have become a place for Pangu Sect's key propaganda and education. If we continue to let those 20,000 cavalry in the hands of Zhao Yun, sooner or later, they will all be assimilated and become cavalry loyal to Suning. At that time, your father, your loss will be great. ”
was shouted hoarsely by his son, and Beigong Boyu, an old thing, also began to realize that something was wrong. The 20,000 cavalry of his family lent Suning, originally for the sake of Suning being his grandson's teacher. However, in the later investigation, he slowly discovered that his youngest son was actually closer to Han Sui of Jincheng County, and as for sending his grandson to Suning to study, it was mostly to find out the core secrets held by Suning.
Sending his son to spy on the enemy's situation shows that Ru Raoke also knows very well in his heart that with his strength, he is not Suning's opponent at present. So from this point of view, Suning is also a figure who competes with him in science and technology, so these 20,000 cavalry must not be in his hands, otherwise, it will be a huge threat to himself.
For the first time in his life, he heeded his eldest son's advice and was ready to react to it.
