As Emperor Liu Hong ended his roar, the West Mansion resounded with continuous echoes, but it still couldn't change the face of Jia Xu, who was coldly peeping at the emperor in front of Liu Hong at this moment. He was still calm, as if he was not afraid that the Han ruler in front of him would be unfavorable to him, everything was just like the calculation in his heart, without the slightest deviation.
After roaring, Liu Hong also gradually quieted down, looked at Jia Xuan coldly and asked, "How did Qing know about the Northern Expedition of Shuyu, and the Chinese martial arts know about it?" β
Glancing up at Liu Hong, Jia Xu saluted and replied: "Your Majesty has a lot of cronies and friends, if his party wants to gain power, it must be meritorious. β
At this moment, Jia Xu did not immediately answer Liu Hong's question about how he knew, because that would not be very convincing, I am afraid that the emperor in front of him would not believe that his thoughts had actually been manifested in the eyes of those ministers and officials in the court. In order to be able to convince Liu Hong, Jia Xu chose another ambiguous answer and let Liu Hong guess by himself, after all, compared to his own thoughts guessed by his courtiers, Liu Hong may believe that it is his henchmen who reveal his usual affairs in the palace to make the reason known to the whole city. After all, I'm afraid that Liu Hong himself won't believe that those eunuchs will really not say a word as they promised in front of Liu Hong.
"Hmm!" Liu Hong responded, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "In this situation, is there a way to save it?" β
"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty cuts down Xianbei, does it mean that it will be broken, or destroyed?" Jia Xu replied that he did not mention the leak of the news that he just said, because he understood that the reason why Liu Hong no longer pursued the news leak was because he believed his own words, and believed that it was leaked by his close henchmen. As for who the henchmen were, except for the eunuch Zhang Rang and others who were driven away by him just now, of course, there was no one else.
And the reason why Liu Hong didn't mention it anymore was naturally because he didn't want to hold Zhang Rang and these people accountable, after all, once the news of their leaking military information spread, not to mention it, the foreign courtiers would definitely use this matter to impeach the eunuchs. Although the eunuch will not be fundamentally hit by this matter, it will inevitably cause a new round of political storm to some extent, which is a scene that Liu Hong definitely does not want to see, in other words, Liu Hong wants to protect the eunuch, which can be described as well-intentioned.
"What is broken? What is extinction? β
"Broken and defeated, most of Xianbei will not be able to breathe for decades, and there will be no residual strength of the Han Dynasty, and the destruction will be so that it will no longer have a chance to dominate, just like the Huns of Emperor Shizong Xiaowu." Jia Xu said lightly, but there was boundless coldness in his tone, as if he was talking about turning the current Xianbei into a Xiongnu who was beaten during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and could no longer turn over, as if he was extremely relaxed, but he was not moved at all by how many of them would die for it.
Liu Hong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, he naturally understood what Jia Xu meant, of course, Jia Xu's words were not simply asking whether to completely subdue or defeat Xianbei, but to ask whether Xianbei should continue to dominate the grassland in order to stabilize the situation in the frontier.
It looks ridiculous, after all, this is the emperor of the Central Plains Empire, but he is thinking about the survival of the grassland people who have a feud with his empire, but this is the case. Because with the former Han Dynasty, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty completely subdued the Xiongnu, in this dynasty, Dou Xian led his troops to defeat the Northern Xiongnu in order to make meritorious contributions.
Because it is precisely because the Han Dynasty completely defeated the Northern Xiongnu and made Xianbei rise, that there is today's trouble. And now, if the Han army breaks Xianbei this time, whether it will make Xianbei unable to breathe for decades, or completely exterminate this grassland people, it is naturally the reason why Jia Xu, a strategist, should ask the emperor, and even Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Empire, should consider the trend of the imperial situation.
After all, limited by the thinking limitations of the ancients, under the official cognition of the Han Dynasty, as long as you hold the Great Wall, outside the Great Wall, let the Hu people toss it, and in the eyes of the Han people, except for the Hetao, it is almost a barren land that is not conducive to development, and it is useless at all, and they don't want to occupy it.
Therefore, if you only conquer Xianbei, subduing and exterminating this nation are the same, because if you subdue him, Xianbei will continue to invade southward in the future after subduing him for a while, after all, this is the most fundamental contradiction between the grassland people and the farming people. And the extinction of Xianbei, the grassland will definitely fall into the internal friction of the grassland people for a period of time, and eventually let one of the strong tribes rise, so as to dominate and unify the grassland, just like the Xiongnu Xianbei, invade south, for the survival of their grassland people.
In other words, both results are the same, the key lies in what kind of choice the current Han Emperor Liu Hong makes, and only after he makes a choice, Jia Xu, who is questioned about the match, will give targeted military countermeasures. For Jia Xu, a person who has always calmly considered everything and then gave a fatal blow to the plan and strategy, this is a qualified strategist who considers the basic qualities and responsibilities of the overall plan for the monarch.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Hong hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Break or destroy, between the two, how do you want to choose?" β
"Annihilation."
"Why?"
"The Han army is destroyed, it will be able to afford the cattle and sheep population, and after the rise of Xianbei, all kinds of goods plundered in the south, one is to fill the treasury, the second is to expand the population, and the third is to go out of the fortress, and the funds required are hundreds of millions.
Jia Xu's rhetorical question directly made Liu Hong dumbfounded, but in his heart he acquiesced in his words, after all, although he opened the West Mansion, but the money collected was obviously nothing compared to the cost of the war, thinking of the soldiers' weapons and ordnance, clothing, armor, food and grass, etc., Liu Hong felt afraid, after all, looking at the Han Dynasty, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out of the fortress, which time was not to go out with the strength of the country, and the consumption of the treasury was very great.
In the end, Liu Hong said in a deep voice: "I want to destroy Xianbei, and I hope that Qing will provide good advice to assist him." β
