Chapter 216 Mutual Calculations

Xu Rong thought to himself that he hadn't been promoted before because he didn't have a chance; If you can't improve in the future, then your ability is not enough. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing Gao Shun ask, after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Lord, most of the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi County and Liaodong County live in a tribal situation, live on grazing, are barbaric by nature, and lack of sinicization, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to incorporate; The Wuhuan people of Liaodong vassal countries, although most of the customs remain unchanged, but they have lived with the Han people for a long time, and have been accustomed to farming and stable living, and their temperament is biased towards the Han people, and they do not lose the wildness of the Wuhuan nomads. ”

Gao Shun was not satisfied with his answer, and continued to ask: "Then how to treat Wuhuan in Liaoxi County?" ”

Xu Rong said viciously: "Kill!" Kill them until they are afraid, kill them until they are powerless to resist, and then disassemble them all, scatter them to live in various counties, and learn from the Han people to cultivate in the future, as long as they are scattered, they will not be harmful in the future; If it is like the cavalry righteous servants formed by the lord before, implement the military household system, and treat their families with kindness, the Wuhuan people will become a harm sooner or later. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, no wonder there was a ruthless person who could cook and kill Taishou in history, it was really ruthless, but he liked it, so he said: "Qiu Liju is dead, the appeal of the successor is definitely not as strong as him, and they suffered heavy losses last time, if Xu Junhou has full authority to deal with the Wuhuan people in Liucheng, how many troops will be needed?" ”

"The existing Wuhuan tribe in Liucheng is very weak, and they suffered heavy losses last time, and they have been scared by the lord, and the Sanqu cavalry is enough to deal with them! The lord wants to take Liucheng? ”

Gao Shun said: "Yes, the Wuhuan people in Liucheng are too close to here, which is a great threat to Yangle County, and the land there is fertile and easy to irrigate, so it is a pity to be used as a pasture; So it is necessary to take Liucheng. ”

"Lord, attack Liucheng Rong is willing to take the lead."

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Okay, in the past two days, you should first consider your tactics, and send scouts to detect the changes in the upper echelons of the Wuhuan tribe and prepare for the attack; I need to negotiate with Yotamori. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Rong was very happy.

The next day, Gao Shun went to visit Yangzhong, and Gao Shun said straight to the point: "I want to recover Liucheng, I don't know what Yang Taishou suggests?" ”

Yang Zhong was very happy about this, so he said: "If General Gao recovers Liucheng, then the old man will write to the imperial court, re-establish the northern governor, and assign all the territory north of Liucheng and the Yushui River to the northern governor's jurisdiction, but the general will be responsible for the cost of the garrison." ”

Gao Shun wanted to scold people in his heart, the older this person is, the more shrewd he becomes, he obviously makes a lot of money, and the justice he says is awe-inspiring, Yang finally drew a big pie, those territories are not under the control of the government, if Gao Shun occupies those territories and sends troops to garrison them, then Yang Lecheng will be safe, and there is no need to pay anything, it is really an old fox.

However, this is very much in Gao Shun's interests, spending some money and food is nothing, the important thing is that there is an army here that he can directly control.

However, it was not so simple to let Yang Zhong's ghost idea succeed, so he said: "Haha, thank you Yang Taishou for your kindness, even if Shun has the intention to station troops here, he can't afford to provide for it, and the transportation of such a large amount of money and grain is a troublesome matter." ”

Yang Zhong explained with a smile: "Haha, General Gao is too modest, if you can take back Liucheng and go west along the Yushui River Valley, it will be easy to reach the Qinglong River Valley, if General Gao also incorporates the Wuhuan people in the Qinglong River Valley in Liaoxi, then the counties in Liaodong will no longer be isolated, you can go south along the Qinglong River Valley, return from the Wuzhi Road, the transportation is very convenient, in the past, the Wuhuan tribe in Liaoxi entered the inland counties and plundered this road. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, it turned out that this old guy had a plan for a long time, and he had been calculating him and using him, but this measure was just right for Gao Shun.

At this time, the western Liaoning corridor was still eroded by seawater, and it was not worth developing until a thousand years later, and it was the most convenient way to take the endless road.

Gao Shun pretended to be an ignorant young man and retorted: "Yang Taishou, this road is all along the bottom of the valley between the rivers, the road must be difficult to repair, not to mention the huge cost of money and food, but it is too late in time, how to recruit soldiers locally?" What to do before the road is built? Unless Yang Taishou sent 1,400 cavalry and 1,600 infantry to Shun, stationed them in Liucheng, and was responsible for building roads, Shun would not dare to take over this important task. ”

Yang Zhong also has calculations, he thinks that Gao Shun's move is to send him performance, if it opens up the connection between the counties of Liaodong and the inland, it will be a great achievement, and he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court.

More importantly, if Gao Shun retreated after defeating Liucheng, he would definitely be unable to defend Liucheng, and he would definitely be retaliated by the Wuhuan people and attacked by the Xianbei people.

If it meets the requirements of Gaoshun, it is a win-win situation.

Yang finally figured it out, so he said: "Haha, General Gao's request to the old man is really difficult, Liaoxi County has enough labor to build roads, but Liaoxi County has been poor for a long time, and he really can't take out so much money and grain to build roads, I hope General Gao must help half of the money and grain." ”

Gao Shun saw that Yang finally wanted to move, but he just wanted more benefits, so he said: "Yang Taishou, if you send 3,000 troops to Shun, the salaries and expenses of these 3,000 officers and soldiers will be borne by Shun in the future, and Shun will also ensure the safety of Yangle City, if so, the money and food saved by Yang Taishou can be enough to build roads." ”

What he wanted was Gao Shun's promise, as long as the safety of Yangle City was guaranteed, everything else was easy to say, and Gao Shun took the initiative to bear the expenses of the army, which exceeded his expectations, so he readily agreed with Gao Shun's opinion.

You must know that road repair is a one-time expenditure, and the cost of maintenance in the future is very low, if it is to support the army, it is a long-term expense, and the cost is even greater, so he will make a lot of money in the end, Gao Shun is still young, and he has not distinguished the priority of things.

Yang Zhong was very happy in his heart, but he was afraid that Gao Shun would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Haha, General Gao is refreshing, everything is based on what General Gao said, and the old man will fully cooperate." ”

Although Gao Shun secretly scolded Yang Zhong's shamelessness and calculation in his heart, it was very powerful for him, which was convenient for him to occupy the counties of Liaodong in the future, and it was more convenient to fight against foreign races. So he said: "Thank you Yang Taishou for your support, and I will go all out to fight against the alien race and protect the peace of my Dahan Border County." ”

"Haha, General Gao Yi."

"That's Shun's duty." I couldn't help but despise this old fox in my heart.

"Then please ask the general to recover Liucheng as soon as possible, and the old man will write to the imperial court and request the establishment of a northern governor to ensure the stability and security of the border."

Gao Shun promised: "Then Shun will leave, and then go back to arrange relevant matters and take Liucheng as soon as possible." ”

When he returned to the barracks and told Li Qiang about the matter, Li Qiang was very happy, thinking that this was a clever move, and the payment of a little money and food was nothing to Gao Shun, who was rich and wealthy, and the important thing was a reasonable layout.

For the candidate for the northern lieutenant of Liaoxi County, Gao Shun already had a goal, that is, Xu Rong, in order to let Xu Rong have enough military merits, it was decided that the important task of occupying Liucheng and eliminating the Wuhuan tribe this time was handed over to Xu Rong to complete.

Gao Shun's longer-term goal was to occupy the Liaodong Prefectures, and Xu Rong was a native of Liaodong, which was more acceptable to the Liaodong people, which would reduce the difficulty of occupation.
