It is said that Su Shuang's opinion is also very heartwarming, whether it is Guo Bin or the army under him, after all, he has seen the real Xianbei elite iron horse. Needless to say, whether it is the level of equipment or tactics, or the will to fight, it can be called elite in this era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Guo Bin has not encountered a strong enemy so far.

This time, in the Thang Long Valley, he was able to kill Helian and defeat the 10,000 most elite troops of the Xianbei people, which was really the result of the combined effect of the right time, place and people. If it weren't for the precise calculation and extremely favorable geographical environment, let alone defeated, with the current level of 20,000 soldiers under Guo Bin, if he fought against the Helian army on the grassland, I am afraid that he would only be abused.

It is precisely for this reason that taking advantage of the death of Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian, the new defeat of Qianman, the heavy losses of the Xianbei tribes, and the chaos of the entire Xianbei royal court, he led the army to cover up with the Xianbei defeated army all the way and sweep the Xianbei royal court, there will inevitably be a very rich harvest, and there will be a chance to beat the Xianbei clan to the ground, and in one fell swoop, the henchmen who have plagued the Han Dynasty for decades will be removed.

After all, as we all know, taking advantage of the situation to cover up and chase down the defeated army is the most simple and labor-saving, which can effectively reduce one's own losses and maximize the benefits. This is because a loose and unorganized military force is never an opponent of a well-disciplined and well-organized army, and a defeated soldier who is desperate for his life and only cares about fleeing for his life will have no combat effectiveness in the face of a pursuing force that is like a wolf and a tiger.

However, Guo Jia's opinion is also very reasonable.

First and foremost, there are military considerations. In addition to the fact that the Xianbei army was actually defeated in the Thang Long Valley, the soldiers outside the Thang Long Valley suffered very little damage, and their numbers were huge, and they could be regarded as well-trained elites. Therefore, if you rashly lead a soldier who can't even ride a horse to force a pursuit, it is very easy to be ambushed. Even the Xianbei people didn't have time to set up an ambush, but as long as they came back to their senses during the run, it was not difficult to organize a part of the troops to fight a counterattack.

Besides, although the Xianbei army has not rested well, the Han army also fought for a whole day yesterday, coupled with the tense and busy preparations before the war, where can they rest yesterday night? At that time, once your side is defeated by the elite Xianbei cavalry, and the elite Xianbei cavalry takes advantage of the situation to cover the killing, then all the previous achievements are in danger of being reversed.

Secondly, politically, it is unwise to eradicate the Xianbei royal court in one fell swoop. Because no matter how greedy and lustful they are, how much they lack talent, and even in name they are well-deserved, reasonable and legitimate. He invaded the outer three cities in the south and died in Guo Bin's counterattack, which is understandable, after all, Helian is in the hearts of the Xianbei tribes, and his status is incomparable with Tanshi Huai. But if Guo Bin really calmed down Shan Yu Wangting in one fell swoop, then the Xianbei people on the grassland were afraid that they would be enemies of the three cities outside the Saiwai. If the so-called life is only as first seen, what is the sad wind and autumn painting fan. People will only talk about the unsatisfactory places of the people around them, and for the dead, most of them will think of his good.

In addition, judging from the current situation on the grassland, aside from the western Xianbei and the chaotic eastern Xianbei, which has long been separated from the royal court, and has long since disobeyed the greetings of the big single, most of the influence of the royal court alone is concentrated near the central Xianbei. There are two most powerful in the central Xianbei, one is Helian's Shan Yu Wangting's department, and the other is Fu Luohan's brother, Putou Shan Yu's department. These two parts, one in the east and the other in the west, are powerful and influential. And Putou Shan Yu's father is Helian's own brother, and the two sides are quite dirty in the matter of succeeding Da Dan, which shows that Pu Tou's father is also very qualified in the matter of serving as Xianbei Da Dan. Therefore, if you put aside other factors and just look at fame, Putou is second only to the Xianbei royal court in terms of the dignity of the bloodline.

If Guo Bin took the opportunity of a big victory at this time to sweep away the Xianbei royal court, although he would establish a very high prestige on the grassland in the short term, it was very likely to be thankless. Because, if you go on according to this plot, the biggest beneficiary of this battle will not be Guo Bin, but will be a Putou who has no strength at all.

Because once Helian and his son Qianman are dead, then the only remaining bloodline of Da Shan Yu Tanshi Huai will be his Putou. Naturally, Pu Tou will become the most qualified person to ascend to the Xianbei Dashan position. At that time, Putou is bound to do his best to collect Helian's troops for his own use, once the forces of the two departments are combined, it will make the strength of Putou's troops rise greatly, and then form a dominant situation in the central Xianbei.

At that time, with the intimate relationship between Putou and Western Xianbei, which relied on the entrepot trade of Central Plains goods supported by the three cities outside the Saiwai, it was extremely difficult to merge Western Xianbei and Central Xianbei, but there was no pressure to relieve the confrontation between the two sides. Xianbei in the east is in chaos, and the strength of the various departments is quite weak, where can I pay attention to the affairs of Xianbei in the middle? Then it is not impossible for him Putou to have time to slowly straighten out the central Xianbei, subdue the small tribes, and unify the central Xianbei.

The extermination of Helian is certainly in the interests of the three cities outside the Saiwai, and the rise of the Putou Department is not what Guo Bin wants to see. On the grassland, the situation that is most in line with Guo Bin's interests and the interests of the Central Plains Dynasty is that the Xianbei tribes do not belong to each other and do their own thing. There is no need for a strong regime on the grassland, and there is no need for a single family to dominate, so whether it is Helian, who is hostile to the three cities outside the Saiwai, or Putou, who maintains friendly trade relations, Guo Bin does not want to see them unify the grassland. Only when each ministry is independent, can the three cities outside the Saiwai, as the Han people's settlement, maintain peace, and the Central Plains Dynasty within the Great Wall can not be disturbed.

Listening to Guo Jia tell the above reasons, Guo Bin was extremely comforted in his heart: after more than a year of training with Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia's growth rate can be seen with the naked eye. Just looking at his analysis of the current situation outside the country, it is quite a bit of the posture of "Guo Jia's plan to determine Liaodong" in history, but his thinking in many aspects is not very mature.

In fact, Guo Bin strongly agrees with Guo Jia's opinion, in addition to political and military considerations, Guo Bin also has economic considerations.

The most fundamental reason why the three cities can gain a foothold outside the Saiwai is their irreplaceability. This irreplaceability is for the major wealthy clans in the Central Plains and the Xianbei people in the grassland.

Because the three cities outside the Saiwai were built outside the Great Wall, they were outside the sphere of influence of the Han court, and were not protected by the Han court, nor were they invaded by the powerful Xianbei tribes. Therefore, for the major caravans in the Central Plains, the importance of safety and fairness of transportation and trade has become more and more prominent, which is the foundation for the smooth progress of trade. And Guo Bin, as a very prestigious celebrity in the Central Plains, has a high position and has a long-term cooperative relationship with the major wealthy families in the Central Plains, so everyone can rest assured of him. Moreover, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guo Bin led 700 troops to fight in the south and north, and no one in the world knew about the amazing feats? If there is someone in the Central Plains who can settle in the three cities outside the Saiwai, except for Huangfu Song, I am afraid that there is only Guo Bin, who dares to take 700 people to the 200,000 Yellow Turban camp to attack the fierce man!

For the Xianbei tribes, the three cities outside the Saiwai are built on their own territory, so they don't have to think too much about safety. In addition, due to the proximity of the distance, the transportation of materials is also very convenient, which saves a lot of transportation costs. However, it does not mean that Xianbei people have no scruples and everything is fine, their weakness lies in "vulgarity and ignorance". The Xianbei people do not have their own written language, so they must use Chinese characters as the basis for trade, whether it is to sign contracts or count the number, they must use Chinese characters and Chinese as the common language, which is also an important reason why most of the Xianbei people who are mixed in the three cities outside the Saiwai can speak fluent Chinese.

The language and culture of the Han people are broad and profound, and the subtlety of praise and disparagement is naturally not something that Xianbei people who have only learned a little bit of daily language can understand. Therefore, in the process of trading between the two parties, or in the signed contract, there are a few language loopholes, and deliberately using ambiguous words to deceive the Xianbei people, which has become the choice of many Han people.

Due to the superiority of culture, the advanced level of science and technology, the strong military strength, and the strength of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty people at this time were born with an incomparable sense of superiority in the face of the four yi. At this time, the Xianbei people were all barbarians in the eyes of the Han people, commonly known as barbarians, and they were not of the same species, so deception and extortion against them would not produce much psychological pressure, let alone be blamed by people. To take an extreme example, it's like teasing a pet with a banana, and other people will laugh when they see it, and who will blame you for teasing for a long time and not giving away a banana?

However, it is the repeated occurrence of this situation that makes the impression of the Han people how cunning they are deeply engraved into the bones of the Xianbei people, which is a lesson of the blood of countless Xianbei tribes who were deceived by the Han people in trade. Therefore, their biggest demand in trade is the fairness of the transaction.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who have been engaged in entrepot trade in the Central Plains and grasslands for many years, are quite prestigious among the Xianbei people, so the Xianbei people are willing to believe them. After the establishment of the three cities outside the Saiwai, Zhang and Su relied on the contacts they had accumulated over the years to quickly put the three cities on the right track. Since then, a lot of hard work has been put into the convenience and fairness of the transaction, so that the trade activities in the three cities of Saiwai have been carried out extremely smoothly in the past year. Because they tasted the sweetness and understood the advanced and reasonable trade system in the trading house, the recognition and trust of the Xianbei departments in the three cities outside the Saiwai will naturally be further improved. In this way, ten to ten, ten to hundred, the reputation of the three cities outside the Saiwai was beaten out like this.

Therefore, the three cities outside the Saiwai were irreplaceable both among the Xianbei people and in the Han trade caravans, and both needed such a "middleman" who "did not make the difference" as a third party to supervise the implementation of trade. To put it more bluntly, today's three cities outside the Saiwai are, to a certain extent, like the official of a certain treasure, and what they strive to ensure is the fair and reasonable conduct of transactions between the two parties. However, the control method of the three cities outside the city is not Alipay, but the huge storage area in the central city. Before the transaction is carried out and after the transaction is finalized, whether it is to see the goods or inspect the goods, there must be the intervention of the staff of the trading bank. Only such a transaction can be protected by the officials of the three cities outside the Seychelles.

All private transactions are not protected by the authorities and are even more severely cracked down. This is because all trade conducted through trading houses is subject to taxes, and the kind of tax evasion and tax evasion that crosses the trading houses and privately trades has no legal effect, and once it is discovered, it will forever lose the qualification to trade in the three cities outside the Saiwai City.

Because the three cities outside the Saiwai were not long established, the merchants of the Central Plains and the Xianbei people were still in the stage of being cautious and testing each other, and very few people dared to cross the trading house to trade privately. However, this kind of bold behavior is not unprecedented, but the two sides did not dare to risk trading in the city, but agreed on a time and place, and went outside the city to trade in private. However, at that time, the goods of the Han caravan had not yet arrived at the agreed place of trade, and they were robbed, and even the people and goods disappeared without a trace. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and from then on, the leaders of the Han Chinese trading convoys never dared to take such a risk.

The various goods produced on the grassland, because their added value is not high, and they save a lot of transportation costs, so they are at a disadvantage when the two sides exchange. And if the Xianbei ministries are unified, the items they want to trade will naturally have to be unified in and out. In this case, regardless of the fact that this unified tribe is outside the rules, it uses its great strength to make various demands on the three cities outside the Saiwai, and just raising the price of goods in a unified manner is enough for the merchants of the Central Plains to drink a pot. This is like a seller of goods who can manipulate the market price at will, and then the three cities outside the Saiwai are afraid that Guo Bin will not have the final say. To use a misguided analogy, this is like the Middle Eastern oil producers, who now control oil, and can control the world economy through the rise in oil prices.

Therefore, the three cities outside the Saiwai are not allowed to have a unified and united Xianbei tribe to exist, and only by playing a balance on the grassland and constantly provoking contradictions and disputes between the various Xianbei tribes can we ensure the lasting existence of the three cities outside the Saiwai and safeguard the fundamental interests of Guo Bin's interest group.

Xianbei people do not need to be unified.

Of course, such black-bellied words are not suitable for people, even Su Shuang can't. Therefore, many things that are not explicitly stated by leaders need to be carefully figured out and carefully understood by their subordinates, and only when they understand it thoroughly will they do things beautifully. And just as Guo Bin was racking his brains about how to explain things clearly in a calm tone, the soldiers outside escorted a prisoner over.

After the Battle of Thang Long Valley yesterday, when the army was cleaning the battlefield, they actually found a Han man under the carriage of Zhonghe Company in Thang Long Valley. The man was dusty and embarrassed, but the burnt feathered fan and the hole-ridden belt made him stand out from the Xianbei captives.

In addition, someone in Qianyang finally scolded, no matter whether the scolding is reasonable or not, at least it proves that someone is watching it? Who knows the pain of new authors? Finally, everyone is welcome to leave a message, and everyone is welcome to scold the street.
