Chapter 1039 Virtue governs, and the people protect their names
Everyone talked about it, and they all showed doubts.
After all, I just understood the four families of the grassland, which was guided by Liu Sheng sentence by sentence, and clarified the overall situation of the grassland.
But right now, Liu Kun suddenly spoke, and except for Liu Sheng, other people couldn't sketch the outline in their brains for a while, and they had no idea.
After Liu Sheng pondered, he asked: "What does Mr. mean, that Murong is uneasy and kind, and has the intention to attack Qipin Yicong and occupy the land, so that Goguryeo will attack Pingzhou first as a temptation?" ”
"That's right, and more than that, the situation in Pingzhou has been heard a little, I don't know if there has been a change in the last year, but a year ago, it was quite chaotic, although there is a Pingzhou assassin Deng Fei, but this assassin is more just a name, the actual jurisdiction is very narrow, not to mention Pingzhou, even the two counties are very reluctant."
Liu Sheng said: "This is also normal, at the beginning Wang Jun was known as the history of the two states of Youzhou and Pingzhou, but the control of Pingzhou is not necessarily more than the two counties, in the final analysis, it is because there are too many miscellaneous Hu, the clans are scattered in the land of Pingzhou, scattered, not as easy to count and manage as the people of Qi, but nominally belong to the imperial court, the name of Pingzhou Thorn History, many times is just a name, is Wang Jun used to oppress and coerce many Hu Ministry. ”
"Good insight."
Liu Kun was a little surprised again, he appreciated this scholar more and more, and thought in his heart, such a knowledgeable person actually lived in a small border town, it was really a pearl, I don't know if I can take it for my own use, but these thoughts did not show on his face.
Complimenting, Liu Kun said: "The history of Pingzhou thorn used to be a title that is true, but Wang Jun's strength is real, his people use soldiers and horses as long swords, suppressing all ethnic groups in Pingzhou, under the order, do not dare not obey, it is to Pingzhou Guduo Hu, but during the period of Wang Jun's leadership, he still obeyed the orders of Youzhou, which can be called the land of the imperial court." ”
Chen Sheng asked: "General Chen defeated Wang Jun, forced back the Tuoba Department, suppressed the Murong Department, and the prestige and combat power were stronger than Wang Jun's. As he spoke, he stared at Liu Kun with blazing eyes.
Not only this scholar, but the onlookers all paid attention to Liu Kun and waited for him to answer.
"Zhengbei General's Mansion, self-improvement over the past General's Mansion," Liu Kun took the first step to affirm the relationship between strength and weakness, he noticed that the people around him were eyeing him, I was afraid that he would say a little bit that the Chen family was not at all, and he would meet the group of mouth cannons to attack, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh Chen's prestige among the people, and then the conversation changed, "It's just that since General Chen sat in Youzhou, he was very restrained, and the troops were insufficient at that time, so he gathered his strength and shrank the strength of Youzhou a lot." ”
Seeing that some people couldn't help but refute, Liu Kun took the opportunity to say: "I came to Youzhou a few years ago, and now I travel again, but I feel that the world is turned upside down, that is, the land here is rich, it can be seen that General Chen is in power for the people, and in recent years, he has spent his thoughts on improving the well-being of the people, ensuring that you have food and clothing, and secretly combining the rule of three generations, this governance of the people and the land is the pursuit of scholars, but it is the second thing to kill the enemy and destroy Hu, I think General Chen is for the people of Youzhou, and shrink the foreign force......
Sure enough, when these words came out, everyone immediately turned their anger into joy, and they all nodded in agreement.
After all, the improvement of the living standards of these people is clearly visible, and since ancient times, the evaluation of the rulers is not limited to martial arts, but more to virtue and civil governance.
What is Virtue? It's morality and conduct.
In the case of those who govern on one side, their morality is edification, and their conduct is good governance.
The herdsmen are educated, so the people of Youzhou are more and more knowledgeable, and the government is good, so the land of Youzhou is more and more rich.
Even Liu Qun had to admire his father's remarks, and as soon as a few words came out, he directly mingled with the masses.
Liu Kun then began to elaborate his point of view: "Shrinking the external forces, the place that was originally controlled, it is inevitable that there will be a power gap, causing chaos in the region, this is the case in the northern grassland, and Pingzhou is the same, I heard that after the Yuwen Ministry fled eastward, it was finally returned to Shun, and was placed in Pingzhou by General Chen, close to Youzhou, in fact, it is the same as Qipin Yicong, it is to use the Yuwen Department to isolate Youzhou from the chaotic land, while ensuring the stability of Youzhou, but let Pingzhou no longer be controlled, so it was stolen by the Murong family. ”
"At the moment, in Pingzhou, in fact, the imperial court is weak, and Murong is strong? Murong let Goguryeo attack, in addition to temptation, did he want to completely occupy Pingzhou? The farmer from before asked another question.
Liu Kun glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Pingzhou is full of Hu, the land can't be said to be barren, but it's not a place of abundance, Murong forcibly seized, not necessarily intended to be here, more as a pedal, once Youzhou doesn't react, Murong will inevitably go further, attack Yuwen in the east, and then force Qipin Yicong in the north, and its purpose is ......."
The farmer and the others seemed to understand, and he said, "This matter is to occupy the territory of the Seven Grades of Righteousness, and then rob the land and population of the Yuwen Ministry?" ”
Liu Kun still shook his head, looked at Liu Sheng, whose face was gradually solemn, and said word by word: "Qipin and Yuwen, behind them are both the Zhengbei General's Mansion, if Murong moves these two, he will inevitably provoke the General's Mansion, how big is this?" How could he just want to seize one or two pastures and the land of Pingzhou, it was clearly intended to be Youzhou! ”
"They dare to move Youzhou?"
"In the past few years, the Murong Department has not dared to approach the boundary of Youzhou at all, can he have such thoughts?"
"They have long been scared by the general, there are clans with names and surnames on this grassland, and their family is the most honest!"
……
Everyone felt a little incredible, in their minds, after the Murong Department was taught a lesson, they were already honest, but the Tuoba Department and the Xiongnu State often moved, how could someone infer now that the Murong Department had the intention to enter Kou Youzhou?
"This is not a question of whether the Murong tribe is bold or not, but the inevitable result of the development of the tribe to a certain extent," Liu Kun ignored everyone's doubts and surprises, and said to himself, "If the Murong tribe wants to grow, it must have a population, and its ministry advocates sinicization, there are nomadic herding, fishing and hunting, and farming, and after a few years of conquest and annexation, it is already a large population, which is also the reason why Murong has the ability to overwhelm several others and establish a general trend on the grassland, which is the root cause of their energy to interfere in the northeast region, but in the same way, population can become a force, but it is also a burden, The food rations needed by each person are not much, which adds up to a huge number, and the grasslands and Pingzhou are barren, and the output is limited, which cannot be sustained for a long time. ”
Liu Sheng also nodded and said: "The Murong Department has expanded rapidly, annexed other tribes, received the population and cattle and sheep, there are more and more people, and more and more grain and grass are needed. Not impossible! ”
Liu Kun said categorically: "I can't be sure in the next place, but after listening to your analysis, I can be sure that the development of the Murong Department has reached a bottleneck, and if it doesn't advance, it will decline, and it will definitely wait for an opportunity to go south!" ”
