Chapter 342: Ding Li's Goal
Using Huairou's method to integrate the tribes and stabilize his position, Bandun really didn't have time.
Daddy's war of total annihilation has greatly weakened the strength of the Wuhuan people, and this situation has been discovered by the surrounding enemies. Especially the Xianbei people in the West, who have learned of their weakness and are sharpening their knives.
Xianbei Dashan Yu Tanshikui is also a generation of male lords of the grassland, this guy was brave and resourceful when he was young, and was elected as the leader of the tribe. Establish a royal court in Gaoliu Beidanhan Mountain, plunder the border counties in the south, resist Ding Ling in the north, repel Fuyu in the east, attack Wusun in the west, and completely occupy the homeland of the Xiongnu, with more than 14,000 li from east to west and more than 7,000 li from north to south. Because the area was too vast, he divided the area he occupied into three divisions, each under the command of an adult. But soon after, he died, and is now succeeded by his son Helian.
But compared with his father, he is a weasel and a mouse, and he is not as good as the generation, not only is he mediocre, but he is also greedy for money and lustful, so the kings of the three tribes divided by his father all despise him, and they are eyeing his big single position.
Even so, Xianbei Khan was weak, but the Zuoxian King in the east of his title was still ambitious, and he had become his biggest threat.
"We Han people have a famous saying, outside must first be inside, so I gave the king such a plan, the tribes scattered all over the place, gathered to our royal court, with a quick knife to cut the chaos of the thunderbolt means, to the tribes who are still interested in the original eldest brother, kill its leader, annex its tribe, for those who are dedicated to you, do their best, in the fastest time, integrate our entire Wuhuan nation, form an iron fist that makes the enemy fearful."
This method is indeed correct, and it is the recipe for the rapid integration of the grassland tribes dominated by tribal alliances. Bunton had to admire the wisdom and ability of this Ding Li.
For wise people, the steppe people are not stingy to give them respect, so he pointed to the position beside him: "Sir, please take a seat." ”
Ding Li was not flattered by such respect, and strode to Badun's side as a matter of course, and knelt beside Badun according to the etiquette of the Central Plains.
Badun handed his golden cup and the remaining half of the wine he drank to Ding Li.
Ding Li took it without hesitation, and he didn't dislike the dirtiness of the gangster, he just leaned his neck and killed it, then squinted his eyes, and said with a very nostalgic taste: "This is the most beautiful wine Moutai in the Central Plains, I haven't drunk it for three years, I really miss it." Then in a blink of an eye, his eyes were full of resentment: "However, this is brewed by Lu Peng, please don't drink it in the future, let alone give it to me." ”
He laughed: "It's just a glass of wine, whether it's made by the enemy or by our friends." ”
Ding Li said firmly: "Otherwise, fine wine is not guilty, but if it is brewed by the enemy, every penny we spend to buy them, the profit in it is equivalent to supporting the enemy, strengthening the enemy, and it is equivalent to putting pressure on ourselves and increasing difficulties." ”
Bun Dun frowned and thought about it, although he couldn't think of it farther, but he still understood the truth that Ding Li said, so he resolutely shouted outside the tent: "Pass my order, from now on, don't give me Moutai again, not only that, pass on my order, restrict all Wuhuan people from drinking Moutai, if you violate it, you will be killed." ”
For this simple and arbitrary order, Ding Li's eyes lit up, and he sighed in his heart that he had finally found a male lord who could avenge himself.
This episode passes, moving on to serious things.
"We Han people have a saying, if you hit someone with five fingers, you can only break your five fingers, but you can't let the enemy suffer any damage."
He opened his palm to look at his five strong fingers, but he had to admit that Ding Li was right.
Ding Li slowly retracted his thin five fingers: "And we Han people also said that if you put the five fingers together and clench them into a fist, then this is an iron fist, who is smashed in, who will be wiped out." ”
With Ding Li's words, Bun Dun himself slowly retracted his fingers and clenched them into a steel fist.
"So sir, should our fists be smashed into the Xianbei Zuoxian King, who is the biggest threat to us, or Lu Peng, who you have been thinking about?"
Ding Li smiled and said, "King, please look at this copper tripod in front of you." ”
In the middle of the big tent, there is a huge pre-Qin copper tripod, this object, in the Central Plains can be described as priceless, but here, it is just a partner for burning charcoal in this big tent for heating, in the eyes of Badun, there is nothing unusual at all.
"Three-legged, this is the most stable pattern in the world." Ding Li threw a piece of cow dung into the copper tripod. And then he didn't care about the confused face at all.
"Joining the weak and resisting the strong is the foundation of the three-legged tripod."
Badun was clever and immediately understood the reasoning, or rather the philosophy of the period.
Ding Li smiled indifferently: "But it depends on who is now, if it is a person who is at peace with the situation, and only wants to keep his own one-third of an acre, then he should adopt such a strategy, join forces with the weak to resist the strong, and then be at peace with the encounter." He raised his head violently and stared at the ambitious eyes of Badun: "We Han people also have a classic saying, the enemy has a strong and weak, first destroy the weak, take the weak to strengthen themselves, and then compete with the strong to dominate the world, and finally become the king." ”
Clenched his fists tightly, he slammed his fist on the table in front of him: "Three-legged, united weak and resistant, it's just a stealing life, what's the meaning of such a life?" ”
Ding Li breathed a sigh of relief: "The king has such ambitions, and the revival of Wuhuan is just around the corner." He first gave a stinky foot, and then went on to point out: "There are two ways to break the three-legged deadlock. ”
He humbly asked, "Sir, let's hear it." ”
Ding Li said slowly: "One is to unite the strong and destroy the weak, this advantage is that you can easily destroy the weak and share a cup of milk tea with the strong." ”
Badun nodded, but was noncommittal.
Ding Li's words changed: "But in this way, the strong will be stronger, the weak will be weaker, and the weak will not be far from destruction." ”
"And what about the second option?"
"If the king has ambitions, if he wants to dominate the grassland, he must first destroy the weaker side than us independently, and take the financial, manpower, and material resources of the weak side to strengthen himself, so that the strong will not change, and the weak will become stronger, so that he can compete with him."
Bang Dun slammed the table with his fist: "Mr. is worthy of great talent, and the analysis is right." ”
"In the face of the weak, we must also concentrate our efforts and use the strength of a lion to fight a rabbit in one fell swoop, and we can't give the strong people who are eyeing them a little chance to take advantage of the fire."
"This is the purpose of the gentleman's strong advocacy that I shrink the strength of all my tribes?"
Ding Li nodded, looked at Badun's eyes, and really praised his cleverness.
"Now, the strong man we are facing is Xianbei, and we are bordering Youzhou of the Han Dynasty, and Youzhou is the weak."
Badon stood in front of the large, simple map, looking at the situation around him.
"Youzhou in the south of Lu Peng, which borders on us, is now under his many years of governance, it is really rich in the people of Wufu, rich in money and grain, it is said that now the ordinary people in Youzhou have thousands or even tens of thousands of catties of grain (yam, or dried yam) The most important thing is that the salt field in the south of him can now reach 500,000 stones."
When he heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it really so much?" "500,000 stone of salt, now, on the grassland, twenty catties of salt can be exchanged for a cow, what kind of gap is this, if this is the case, if you don't do it quickly, just this one, in the near future, you will suck up the essence and blood of your own tribe." And once he takes Lu Peng's salt farm, obtains the salt there, and sells the salt to Xianbei, it won't be long before he will suck up Xianbei's essence and blood, and strengthen his strength.
"My Ding family was originally the owner of the Luxian salt farm." When he said this, Ding Li's eyes were already full of resentment. Seeing the blazing ambition that began to burn in Bun Dun's eyes, Ding Li said again: "Also, Youzhou is now lined with subway yards, and there is a lot of iron production, and as far as I know, the smelter in Lu Peng's savage valley directly produces stainless steel, and the sword made by him can be said to be sharpened like clay." ”
This is the most attractive part, what warrior wouldn't want to have a sword of his own? If his hundreds of thousands of warriors are equipped with such precious weapons, in the face of Xianbei, who is still mostly using bronze scimitars and wolf fangs and arrows, it can be completely one as ten, which is a kind of technical crushing.
Ding Li continued to analyze the situation for Badun step by step: "Lu Peng, there are only 30,000 or 20,000 soldiers, and he is expanding too fast, from Youzhou City to Liaodong County, the total length is almost 2,000 miles, there is Gongsun Zan in the west, and Gongsun Du is eyeing the tiger in the east, the pressure on the two sides is huge, and his territory is long from east to west, narrow from north to south, and there is no strategic depth in the face of us, as long as we have an elite army to raid, we can immediately cut off his entire area, let him be divided into two, and the force will be more dispersed, and once we enter Lu Peng's territory, Gongsun Chan in the west and Gongsun Du in the east will pounce frantically, and the three forces will be able to destroy Lu Peng in a blink of an eye. ”
He was overjoyed, patted Ding Li's shoulder and said: "What Mr. said is very true, when the time comes, I will include Youzhou in my territory, and let Youzhou continue to provide me with salt, steel and grain, and become a strong backing for me to dominate the grassland." Then he promised full of trust: "We grassland people only know how to fight and fight, and we don't know anything about the management of Han land. ”
Ding Li immediately turned over and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the reward." ”
He laughed out loud, and then his face changed: "When the whole clan gathers, we will finish tidying up our interior, and immediately send troops south, the slogan is, avenge the first king and the tens of thousands of warriors." ”
"Yes, revenge." Ding Li's eyes were red and he roared through gritted teeth.
