Chapter 400: Mingli eases the relationship between Han and Xianbei
The emperor's words were like a sharp arrow, reaching Jia Xu's ears, everything was as he expected, the emperor would still choose to completely eliminate Xianbei because he spent too much military spending, and relied on capture to make up for the lack of military spending.
"Back to Your Majesty, if you want to destroy Xianbei, with the situation that Xianbei now knows the trends of the government and the opposition, the minister has only one strategy, if you choose a good general, you will be able to break it." Jia Xu saluted and said in a righteous voice, at the beginning, he set a tone, in the situation that the Xianbei people may have guessed that the Han army may have gone north through the changes of the Luoyang government and the opposition, only one strategy can successfully eliminate Xianbei.
"You have a good plan, come quickly." Liu Hong said hurriedly, now that Beizheng Xianbei is already a pimple in his heart, he can't help but be in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, please move and take a look at the map."
"Let's go!"
Although the West Mansion is a place for Liu Hong's entertainment and leisure on weekdays, it does not mean that this is not a place for him to talk about government affairs and military affairs, after all, compared to the court meetings that are sometimes extremely boring and sometimes quarrel with courtiers to the point of annoyance, Liu Hong prefers to entertain and talk about national affairs with his henchmen and eunuchs around him here in his spare time. From this point of view, it is no wonder that in real history, the eunuch can completely control the military and political power in the world in his hands, and do some big rebellious things behind his back, it is really Liu Hong's favor to the eunuch is too heavy, the power is too great, compared with Emperor Huan, he is really favored to the outrageous.
No more gossip, since the West Mansion is also the place where Liu Hong discusses government affairs and military affairs on weekdays, it is natural that there will be important military maps of the Han Dynasty in it. Several times ago, Liu Hong summoned Jia Xu to play on state affairs, of course Jia Xu also knew where the map was, after asking Liu Hong, he should lead the way first, and took Liu Hong to a small palace next to the West Mansion, which is where Liu Hong usually discusses government affairs and military affairs, in addition to some tables and mats, there is also a huge screen.
On the screen, there are countless lines, twists and turns, and a discerning person can see at a glance that this is a map, and on this map, the boundaries of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are marked, and the counties are located, all of which are missing, and even the Western Regions that the Han Dynasty has been unable to control are also among them, and it is obvious that this is a screen with the background of the entire Han Dynasty's territory map.
"Your Majesty, please see, now the Han and Xianbei, since the Tanshi Huai was the head, Xianbei civil strife, has become the Han strong and weak trend, plus the Han Dynasty and the opposition in the northern expedition to discuss countless things, to look at it, the Xianbei three departments will send people into the Han realm at this moment to inquire about the news, if the Han army is different, it will give up the previous suspicion, work together to break it."
Jia Xu saluted Liu Hong, and after giving a general introduction to the current situation, he pointed to the screen map, and simulated the situation as the Han army, while saying solemnly: "With the current situation, the minister thinks that His Majesty should choose a credible person, make peace, first ease the relationship between Han and Xianbei, and then ......."
"De-escalation?" Liu Hong shouted loudly, directly interrupting Jia Xu's words, he couldn't understand, now that he has made it clear that the Han army is out of the fortress to destroy Xianbei, and at this moment it is ready to be sent when he has to send it, why does this Jia Xu want him to send someone out to make peace and ease the relationship between the two parties.
"Exactly! Your Majesty is not in a hurry, and listen carefully to the arrival of the ministers. Jia Xu was neither humble nor arrogant, and after replying in a positive voice, he continued: "Your Majesty can clearly ease the relationship between Han and Xianbei, and then send a brigade of elite soldiers to quell the chaos under the pretext of the Qianghu turmoil in the two prefectures of Merge and Liang. ”
"Qiangchaos? Xianbei? Liu Hong obviously couldn't keep up with Jia Xu's rhythm for a while, and interrupted Jia Xu again, looking at the territory of Liangzhou and Bingzhou that Jia Xu pointed to on the map, and there were words in his mouth.
"Exactly!" Jia Xu responded, and then explained: "When the first emperor, Xianbei since the rise of the Hu chief Tanshi Huai in Danhan Mountain, swept countless borders, and the imperial court repeatedly used troops to control it, so he sent envoys to hold the seal, wanting to follow the internal relocation of the Huns, and seal the Tanshi Huai as the king, and make peace with him, divide his people, and settle the hearts of Hu. However, Tanshi Huai refused to accept it, and Kou copied it very much, and divided its place into three parts: from the east of the right Beiping to Liaodong, receiving more than 20 Yi of Fuyu and Hao, called the Eastern Xianbei, from the west of the right Beiping to the upper valley of more than 10 Yi, the number is the central Xianbei, from the west of the upper valley to Dunhuang and Wusun more than 20 Yi, the number is the western Xianbei. The lords of each are all disloyal, and they all belong to the Xianbei Great Khan's sandalwood and stone locust tent. ”
Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, and then continued: "Now, the Xianbei three tribes are only in the northwest Xianbei area, and the population is sparse enough to protect the whole territory, and its department is far away from the Xianbei royal court. At that time, then the elite of the three-sided Han army out of the fortress, in the east and the middle of the two Xianbei do not know the situation, suddenly send troops, the two Xianbei will be chaotic, and then the Han army will come out together, Xianbei can not retreat, only with the Han army decisive battle, with the Han trilateral army together, Xianbei will have no chance of winning, will be able to destroy its army, get its troops, cattle and horses. ”
As Jia Xu spoke, Liu Hong, who was listening on the other side, looked at the map on the screen for a while, and his eyes were full of brilliance. At this moment, even if he is sluggish, he naturally understands what Jia Xu means, which is nothing more than to let him use the method to ease the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei on the surface, in fact, this is all fake, but the real killing move is to send elite soldiers and horses, in the name of pacifying the border Qiangchao, in fact, it is to change the road to break the weakest part of Xianbei first, and then kill to the hinterland of Xianbei, from its royal court Danhan Mountain to the rear of Xianbei, disrupt its people, and cut off its retreat.
After that, it is the real decisive moment between the Han army and Xianbei, in the case that the Xianbei back road was cut off by the Han army, in the face of the elite of the three-sided Han army, they can only fight a decisive battle with the Han army to have a chance of survival, otherwise, they have no other possibility except for being eaten away by the Han army's large-scale attack.
As for whether the Han army's pacification of the Qiang rebellion is real, Liu Hong automatically chooses to affirm in his heart, after all, although the Han and Qiang wars have been extinguished, there will still be sporadic small-scale Qianghu rebellions in Liang'er Prefecture, and it is understandable to dispatch a large army to quell the chaos. Besides, even if there was no rebellion, couldn't the Han army create a mess on its own?
"Good! Good! This is a great good! Liu Hong clapped his hands and praised loudly, Jia Xu's set of plank roads and Chen Cang's strategy to secretly make him happy.
The imperial court was unable to control it, so it sent an envoy to hold a seal ribbon to seal the sandalwood acacia as the king, and wanted to make peace. Tanshi Huai refused to accept it, and Kou copied it very much. It is divided into three parts: from the east of Youbeiping to Liaodong, from the east of Fuyu and Haoqian to the east, from the west of Youbeiping to Shanggu more than 10 Yi in the middle, from the west of Shanggu to Dunhuang and Wusun more than 20 yi to the west. Each of them is led by an adult, and they all belong to the sandalwood acacia.
