Liu Kuan knows that solving the problem of ethnic minorities in the north is a thousand-year problem, and now it is also a millennium opportunity period to solve this problem, the Southern Xiongnu are far away from Youzhou, and leave it to be solved in the future, but if the problem of ethnic minorities near Youzhou can be solved, it can not only reduce the consumption of Youzhou, but also make Youzhou like a tiger in the future battle.

After the meeting ended, Liu Kuan left Yan Rou, Wu Qiu Jian, Bu Dugen, Ke Bineng, and Qiu Liju.

"Generals, now that the young emperor has ascended the throne, the eunuchs and relatives of the DPRK and China are vying for power, the political situation is unstable, and thieves are rampant in various states and counties. Once there is a change, we can also establish meritorious service and serve the country. Now Gongsun Zhan is dividing all ethnic groups, fish and meat border people, openly rebelling, you are mainly Yan Rou, pay close attention to the reorganization of the army, unify the military system, orders, several troops into a body, until the system is straightened out, I will expand the army for the generals.

My initial plan is to set up ten departments of the Youzhou Army, Yan Rou, Wuqiu Jian, Bu Dugen, and Kirbineng generals will be appointed captains, each leading a division of 10,000 people, Wuhuan Hou will soon be in charge of the Northeast New County, General Badun is also a department, serving as a captain, Gongsun Du, Xian Yufu, Tian Yu, Han Dang and Ben Hou will each lead a department, a total of ten. I will lead the generals to clear Youzhou, sweep away the rebellions of the Central Plains, and return my great Han Lang Lang Qiankun! ”

You were amazed, and then delighted. What was surprising was that from Liu Kuan's words, I heard that Liu Kuan wanted to use troops against the Central Plains, and his ambition was not small. Happily, he is trusted by Liu Kuan, and he uses troops in the Central Plains, and maybe the princes and generals will not know in the future.

Liu Kuan looked at everyone, and suddenly felt that there were too few talents around him, and he rarely served in the auxiliary and Tian Yu places, and if he took the troops out, there would be no available personnel to replace them. With the entry of a large number of displaced people from the Central Plains, the development of the Northeast is imminent, and the construction of the grassland will also be launched, and there is a lack of talents to govern the counties everywhere, that is, there are no decent talents around him and Liu Yu......

Just when everyone was about to disperse, Qi Zhou came to invite Liu Kuan, and as soon as Liu Yu left, he came to call himself, what happened?

When Liu Kuan arrived at Liu Yu's study, he saw another Confucian elder in his fifties, sitting there, his face sallow.

"Wei You has seen General Fenwu, Ji Hou!" When the Confucian elder saw Liu Kuan enter the door, he got up to salute.

"Wei Yu?" Liu Kuan seemed a little familiar, and after Qi Zhou entered the door, he saw that Liu Kuan was a little hesitant, and introduced: "General, this is Lord Wei Yu of Dongcao Lu, who was sick at home a few days ago. ”

"Zihua, the messenger of the King of Wuhuan Cliff was seriously injured and ran to Lord Wei's mansion to inform Lord Wei that the messengers of several tribes were killed by Gongsun Zhan on the way!" Liu Yu motioned for Liu Kuan to sit down.

Wei You has been recuperating at home, and when he saw Liu Kuan for the first time, he explained to Liu Kuan: "The king of the cliff has some friendship with me, the messenger was injured and came to ask me for a recommendation, the messenger was unable to move, so I rushed here, and listened to the messenger of the king of the cliff, and there were not a few messengers who were intercepted and killed halfway. ”

Liu Kuan was not surprised that Gongsun Zan was mad and killed the envoy, after all, he knew this period of history. What Liu Kuan was really interested in was Wei You.

Another Qi Zhou-like character? Liu Kuan thought in his heart that in his memory, Liu Yu's strategists in history really didn't have anything to do. Liu Yu is now short of civil ministers and military generals, but what is urgently needed is first-class strategists. But this time Liu Kuan was wrong, but Wei You was a first-class strategist during the Three Kingdoms period.

Historically, in the contradictions and struggles between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu's defeat was related to Wei You's premature death.

Let's first take a look at the contradictions between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in history.

One premise is that the question of northern nomads has always been a difficult problem for the imperial court.

Gongsun Chan's method was to suppress it by force. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was successively the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, which were in a mess. At the same time, among the nomadic peoples in the north, the Xiongnu continued to decline, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei in the northeast gradually developed and grew. Once the success is achieved, Gongsun Zhan relied on the sword and axe to chop the nomadic cavalry and rise.

Gongsun Zhan's martial arts, especially Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Righteousness", made many tribes frightened, and also achieved certain results in a short period of time. Gongsun Chan was also promoted to Zhonglang General for his merits, and the Marquis of Juedu Pavilion, the nomadic cavalry fled as soon as they heard that Gongsun Chan was coming.

Unfortunately, the long-term effectiveness of military repression has been woefully inadequate. Gongsun Zhan led his troops and the nomadic cavalry to attack each other for five or six years, and the rebellious Qiuliju tribe was not only not repulsed, but expanded its scope to several states in the south, as far south as Xuzhou.

Seeing that the effect was not good, the court was forced to choose another way to overcome rigidity with softness.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty chose Liu Yu, because Liu Yu is not only the great butler of the royal family-Zongzheng, but also Liu Yu has high prestige, good personal quality, wide kindness, and faith spread all over the world.

Unbelievably, the effect was surprisingly good, and the rebellious tribal leader Qiu Liju was very happy when he heard that Liu Yu was coming, and even took the rebellious tribal cavalry to take the initiative to withdraw to his territory. The rebels Zhang Chun and others had no choice but to abandon their wives and flee from Wuhuan and flee to Xianbei, where they were later killed by their own disciple Wang Zheng, and their heads were sacrificed to Liu Yu. The rebellion of the nomads in Youzhou suddenly disappeared.

Liu Yu's governor Youzhou has achieved dazzling political achievements, the contradiction between the local snake Gongsun Chan and the airborne dragon of the imperial court intensified, Gongsun Chan kept making stumbling blocks to sabotage Liu Yu's policy, Liu Yu convened Gongsun Chan to hold a meeting, every time he said that he was sick and could not come, and even secretly sent someone to assassinate the tribe to meet Liu Yu's envoy.

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's yang and yin violations, Liu Yu had the idea of crusading against Gongsun Zhan, and many strategists agreed. Liu Yu personally consulted Wei You, Wei You said, "When you return to your heart today, all the princes take Da Sima as the backbone, and your ministers and generals are indispensable. ”

Liu Yu gave up this idea after hearing this, after Liu Yu came to Youzhou, he quickly gained a firm foothold with the assistance of Wei You, Wei Yu every time he planned, every policy received good results, Liu Yu almost obeyed Wei You's words.

Unfortunately, Wei You, a first-class strategist, died a year later. Liu Yu and his subordinates began to plot to attack Gongsun Zan again, and this time the discussion was not whether to fight, but how to fight.

"The Biography of Liu Yu in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty" actually recorded a very bizarre thing, Liu Yu killed the dissuading strategist Cheng Xu in order to sneak attack Gongsun Zhan, under the pretext that Cheng Xu's nonsense before the war hit his morale.

But in fact, the idea of the strategist Cheng Xu is remarkable, and he also thinks that Gongsun Chan is indeed at fault, but the crime is not very big, and he can be ordered to correct. Even if you want to fight, you can garrison troops and coerce, and let Gongsun Chan apologize himself. What a strategy! But Liu Yu didn't listen, and shouted that the others would be exempted from the crime, and they would kill Gongsun Zan alone. It can be seen that at this time, Liu Yu has already hated Gongsun Chan to the bone, and he has to put Gongsun Chan to death.

At this time, Liu Yu was no longer the commander of the light pole when he first came, and he actually summoned as many as 100,000 troops from all walks of life, and his military strength was far above that of Gongsun Zhan. There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, but what is surprising is that Liu Yu was defeated, and Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan.

Of course, Gongsun Zhan killed the prestigious Liu Yu, obviously making a huge mistake! Under the rule of Gongsun Zhan, the people of Youzhou were boiling and smoky, and the common people all missed Liu Yu, who had outstanding political achievements and was diligent and loved the people.

In the second year of Emperor Xingping of the Han Dynasty (195 AD), Liu Yu's old subordinates Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, and Cavalry Governor Xian Yuyin elected Yan Rou as Karasuma Sima and led troops to avenge Liu Yu. King Wuhuan also led his tribe and more than 7,000 Xianbei cavalry to avenge it, and finally defeated Gongsun Zan in Baoqiu and beheaded more than 20,000. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to unite the teams of Xian Yufu and other ethnic minorities, and led 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. At this time, Gongsun Zhan rebelled and could not resist, and was beheaded by Yuan Shao in the third year of Jian'an (198 AD).

In other words, Liu Yu's failure is directly related to Wei Yu's death.
