Chapter 169: The Controversy of Suppression

Jiang Sheng said to Qiu Liju: "I heard that my Han Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has a good relationship with you, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Brother Liu has always been benevolent and kind to me, and I am very grateful to him. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I came this time to see you on the orders of Lord Liu."

"Is that true? Is it really Brother Liu who sent you? ”

"I don't bother to lie to you."

"I don't know what Brother Liu said?"

"You know Lord Liu's policy, the war in Wuhuan for several months has caused serious losses to Wuhuan, Lord Liu can't bear to see the continuous conquest of the Wuhuan departments, I hope to mediate, I don't know if you give face?" 、

"General rest assured, I Qiu Liju is not convinced, only you and Lord Liu, if Lord Liu comes forward to mediate, I will definitely support it."

"Okay, since you have no problem, then please leave for Changli in Youzhou as soon as possible to discuss important matters."

"To Youzhou? Could the general have other plans? ”

"Haha-Qiu Liju, Qiu Liju, do you think I, Jiang Sheng, am this kind of person? Besides, if I had other plans, I wouldn't have come today with just five thousand horsemen. ”

"It's my villain's heart, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

"Well said, well said! After you have arranged the tribal affairs, you will immediately set off for the south, and Lord Liu and I are waiting for your arrival. ”

After pacifying Qiu Liju, Jiang Sheng asked Upa to succeed him as the leader of the Wuhuan Alliance to prevent the tribes from raising swords again, and after the explanation, Jiang Sheng led the army south to return to Youzhou, and Chu Yan stayed on the Wuhuan grassland to take care of it.

The envoy told Liu Yu what Jiang Sheng meant, and in order to solve Wuhuan's trouble as soon as possible, Liu Yu went directly to Changli City to wait, and Gongsun Zhan also came to Changli.

Gongsun Zhan's current position is to ride the captain, in terms of rank, it is lower than Liu Yu, but the captain of the cavalry belongs to the Beijing official, and Liu Yu is polite to him.

"Bo Jue is here for that Wuhuan thing?"

"Liu Zhoumu is really in a word, I heard that Jiang Sheng, the captain of the military academy, made great contributions on the grassland and beat Qiu Liju to the point that he had no power to fight back, I don't know if the adults know?"

"Yes, Captain Jiang has won a hundred battles, and it is no problem to fight Wuhuan. But war is not the way out to solve the Wuhuan problem, appeasement is the best policy. ”

"Lord Zhoumu's words are wrong, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, if there is no strong force to deter, Wuhuan will still be restless."

"Bo Jue is too pessimistic, the Wuhuan tribe is multifaceted, if my Han is effectively managed, it will have to pay too high a price, but if it is appeased and managed by themselves, then my Han only needs to envelop Lord Wuhuan, this is a strategy to get twice the result with half the effort."

"I don't agree, think about how much the adults appeased Wuhuan before, what was the result? It is not that frequent raids on the border, burning, killing, and plundering have become a problem for the border people. ”

"The captain of the cavalry just needs to do his duty, and I have my own opinions on the matter of Wuhuan."

"Your Excellency must not be soft-hearted, if you blindly appease you, you will have a war disaster in the future. Don't let me raise my troops to defend again. ”

"Captain Qi doesn't have to be angry, Jiang Sheng is familiar with the situation in Wuhuan, we might as well wait for him to come back and listen to what he means."

"It's okay, Jiang Sheng is a hardcore character, don't offend Jiang Sheng, don't even offend Jiang Sheng, then it won't end well. Leave! "Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu broke up unhappily.

At the beginning of April, Jiang Sheng returned to Changli, Liu Yu personally went to the city gate to greet him, and Gongsun Zhan also came to greet him after getting the news.

Several wars on the grassland made Jiang Sheng's reputation even greater, Zhao Yun also became famous, and the people in Changli suffered greatly from the invasion of Wuhuan.

Thousands of empty alleys in Changli City are all on both sides of the road to welcome, Jiang Sheng rode on a horse, and Liu Yu walked side by side, greeting the people from time to time.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Yu bought wine to catch Jiang Sheng's wind, and asked people to give Jiang Shengjun a large amount of wine and meat to the camp to comfort these soldiers who became famous in the grassland.

Because Liu Yu knew Jiang Sheng's position, he also invited Gongsun Zhan to come over for this reception banquet, and he wanted Gongsun Zhan to know that Jiang Sheng also advocated a strategy of appeasement.

Jiang Sheng had considered the affairs of Wuhuan when he replied to Liu Yu's envoy, and the Wuhuan tribe's activity area was rich in mineral resources, which was the strategic resource that Jiang Sheng needed for his future development.

Jiang Sheng wanted to mediate and appease Wuhuan to put forward conditions, control the mineral resources in the Wuhuan region, establish a military and trade base on the grassland, and form a powerful cavalry corps.

At this time, the number of cavalry determines the outcome of the war, and also reflects the strength of the princes, the cost of one cavalry is equivalent to the cost of twenty infantry, if it is not for the wealth, to form a large corps of tens of thousands of cavalry, it is simply a fool's dream.

Although Wuhuan's cavalry has sufficient troops, their equipment is a mess, and it is difficult to call them cavalry, but can only be called a militia on horseback, and their combat power naturally does not dare to compliment.

"Captain Jiang has been fighting Wuhuan for several months, I don't know if he has an in-depth understanding of Wuhuan's situation?" Liu Yu asked.

"The Wuhuan people are the weak and the strong, and they face the pressure of survival and death every day, so all the people are soldiers."

"I think so too, so it is never advisable to manage Wuhuan by force." Liu Yu hurriedly said.

"General Jiang, the Wuhuan people are barbaric, if there is no strong force to pacify, they will not obey the management of my Han, in the past few years, the people on the border of Youzhou have suffered greatly, so I insist that force is the key to determining the grassland."

"It is the blessing of my Han to be able to fight well, but he only deals with Wuhuan affairs, and he cannot solve it by force. As long as they are appeased, they live in the grassland, and it is the right way not to come to my realm to live. ”

"You don't have to fight with each other, just listen to me." Jiang Sheng knew that Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu were at odds, and Liu Yu still died at the hands of Gongsun Chan as recorded in history.

"Captain Jiang is familiar with Wu Huan, and there must be a proper solution, I will listen to it."

"Now that my Han has a lot of civil strife, he has been too busy to take care of himself, and it is difficult to have the energy to manage Wuhuan. Wuhuan people are really all soldiers, everyone can become a warrior, let me ask Brother Gongsun, with your strength, can you kill it? Even if the killing is over, this tribe no longer exists, what good will it do to my Han? Even if we have grassland pastures, who is good at raising horses? I'm afraid that it will cost the lives of tens of millions of my Han family boys, but in the end, it will be useless. ”

"But if you don't kill them, the Wuhuan people will still raise an army." Gongsun Zhan's worries are not unreasonable, he has already suffered from it, and the last time he was almost wiped out in Guanzi City, it was also due to Qiu Liju.

"The cavalry captain is too worried, if we support a Wuhuan leader and manage Wuhuan on behalf of my Han, then we only need to control this person and rest easy."

"If this person has accumulated strength, do you still have the confidence to control him?"

Liu Yu was speechless for a while, and could only ask Jiang Sheng for help with his eyes. (To be continued.) )
