Chapter 18 On the Huns

But Xun Shuang doesn't think so, a character who can convince Xun Yu, how can his knowledge not be able to suppress these little ghosts here? You must know that Xun Yu has always had a very high vision, although he was quite reluctant to let him go to Gao Ye as a long history at the beginning, but now, isn't he still convinced by Gao Ye's heart? A long history is doing it happily, not for anything else, just to learn more ways to govern the place from Gao Ye. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xun Jing invited Gao Ye to the hall of their daily debate, and Gao Ye just now just watched from a distance under Xun Shuang's introduction, and did not come in. Now when I came in, I realized that this hall was really big. Not only did Gao Ye come, but Sima Hui also came in a hurry, there were only two of them who were teachers here today, so naturally it was the two of them, plus Xun Shuang sitting at the top together, as for Gao Ye, Xun Yu, Xun Yan, and a group of disciples, they all sat quietly at the bottom.

Xun Jing saw that everyone had arrived, so he took the lead in getting up and introduced Sima Hui to Gao Ye, Gao Ye immediately got up and saluted, Sima Hui was not surprised except for Gao Ye's age. Seeing Gao Ye's salute, he also returned the salute, and then said: "I never thought that Mingxi would be so young, but he managed this Yingchuan in an orderly manner, and he was really a hero!" ”

Gao Ye also thanked him repeatedly, but the other students present were already in an uproar. No one expected that the dignified Yingchuan Taishou was already famous all over the world, and he was so young! But why is he here today? Is it to study with us?

However, Gao Ye was still in an uproar, got up and bowed to everyone and said: "Down is Wuyuan Gao Ye, I have seen all the talents. Everyone present hurried to return the salute. After a series of salutes, Xun Jing said to Gao Ye: "I have heard for a long time that Mingxi has studied under a different person and has profound knowledge, today is the day when all the students are debating, so it is better for Mingxi to take a look together." ”

"It's an honor." Gao Ye said with a smile.

"There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius, 'Micro Tube Zhong, I have been sent to the left.'" Today's topic is this sentence. This sentence is not unfamiliar to Mingxi, right? ”

Gao Ye was stunned for a moment, you were talking about the topic, why did it turn on me again? However, at this time, it was naturally not good not to answer, and then said with a smile: "Naturally, Confucius's words are praising Guan Zhong's efforts to assist Duke Qi Huan. However, in my opinion, this sentence reflects Confucius's admiration for etiquette, my Han family people tie their hair to the right, this is etiquette, if even this is changed, we and Hu Lu will be no different. Gao Ye sighed, "The soldiers of the border pass fought bloodily, isn't it just to protect the stability of my Han Dynasty and protect my Chinese blood and food." ”

"Haha, Mingxi is right." Xun Jing said with a smile, "Today's topic is these alien races around my Han Dynasty. Ming Xi has been on the frontier for a long time, so it's better to talk about it first. ”

"I've been in Wuyuan for a long time, and to be honest, I really don't have any good feelings for these aliens." Gao Ye couldn't help frowning and said, "Although the Huns said that they would surrender to my big man, there is no shortage of such things as fighting the grass valley every year." I don't know how many Han people died at their hands. ”

"However, although these Huns are ferocious, they are still resisted by our Han soldiers, so that they cannot enter the Central Plains, in my opinion, they are not to be feared." I saw a student sitting down and said, "In Xunda, Xiayingchuan, it is the nephew of Uncle Xiu Ruo and Uncle Wen Ruo. ”

Gao Ye saw that he was only about ten years old, so he naturally didn't want to argue with him, a ten-year-old child, there was still a strong idealism in his thoughts, not to mention that he had never been to the border, where did he know what the life of the people there was like, not to mention that he was not from later generations, where did he know about the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua.

However, an older student disagreed with his point of view, and then retorted: "The Huns are always on the border, there are Wuhuan raging in the north, and there are Qiang people in the northwest from time to time. If you don't set foot on the alien race as soon as possible, you are afraid that you will become a confidant. ”

Gao Ye couldn't help but glance at him more, only to see that although this person was handsome, the clothes on his body were very shabby, and he knew at a glance that this was a poor child.

"What you said is not right, I am the Heavenly Empire of the Han Dynasty, and naturally the power of the four seas is endeavoured, how can those alien races be our opponents?"

Celestial Empire! When Gao Ye heard these four words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, why did he have the idea of the Heavenly Empire at this time? Think about it more than a thousand years later, China, which is known as the superior state of the Celestial Empire, was almost destroyed under the oppression of the great powers. Especially the Qing Dynasty, which was bullied by a small country in Japan, called the heavens and the earth, and was proud that he was the upper state of the Celestial Empire.

"Yes, my Han is the upper state of the Celestial Empire, so naturally I should educate these foreign races, so that they can understand etiquette and know loyalty, so that they can surrender without a fight!"

Gao Ye couldn't help laughing, shaking his head, although he didn't say anything, this appearance had clearly expressed Gao Ye's dissatisfaction with this sentence, and even ridiculed. Then he said: "Why don't you go to the Huns so that you can educate them?" ”

"It's... This... I am only shallow in the next day, how can I do such a big thing. The kid said with a little embarrassment, and Gao Ye looked at him, who was only about ten years old. I only heard him timidly reply: "When I finish my studies, then it will be natural." ”

"When you finish your studies, you won't have such thoughts anymore." Gao Ye shook his head and said, "You are still young, and you have never seen what the Huns are like, it is normal to have such thoughts, even I have the same thoughts as you, but if you want to achieve a soldier without a fight, in my opinion, it is not just by education." ”

"I want to hear about it." Xun Da arched his hand.

"The Huns have lived in the northern grasslands since the pre-Qin period, and the king of Zhao Wuling, Hu Fu rode and shot to resist the Xiongnu; Qin Shi Huang even ordered Meng Tian to attack north and recover the Hetao. But in the Gaozu period, there was still the siege of Baideng. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu that there was Huo Yao, who sealed the wolf Juxu and made the Xiongnu surrender. Gao Ye first briefly introduced the history of the Huns, and then said: "But although the Huns have descended, they have come to fight the grass valley from time to time, do you know why?" It's because if they don't come to the grass valley, there will be many of them who won't survive the winter. Gao Ye said lightly.

Seeing that all the students below were closing their eyes and pondering, even Xun Jing and Xun Shuang nodded slightly, and took a sip of tea at night, and then continued: "Such a contradiction cannot be alleviated. My own people are still famine every year, where is the food supply for the Xiongnu? What's more, the Huns are not attached to the people, if they are given food, what if they come to attack my Han? But if they don't give food, they won't survive the long winter, and even if they know the etiquette, they will abandon it in the face of life and death. Even if I am a Han person, not every one of them can abide by loyalty. Therefore, I say that your idea is unrealistic. ”

"Taught." The man bowed to Gao Ye, and Gao Ye nodded in response.

"Second, I'm talking about what the student said." Gao Ye pointed to the Hanmen disciple who was about to kill all the aliens just now, "Although I used to want to kill all these aliens like you, it wasn't until I went into the grassland with General Lu that year and crusaded against Qubei that I found that this idea was also unrealistic." The Huns were nomadic people, living in pursuit of water and grass. Not to mention killing them all, in the vast grassland Gobi, it is not easy to find them. These Huns were skilled in bows and horses, and most importantly they could carry very little military rations and fight us for a month. You know, the army has not moved, but the grain and grass have gone first. If we want to fight in the grasslands, grain and grass are an indispensable part. People have a strategic depth of several thousand miles, and because of the grain and grass, we can go out of the Great Wall for 500 miles is already the limit. And once we go deeper, we are flawed everywhere, and it will be easier for the Huns to defeat us. This is also the reason why the kings of the past have been mainly guarded. Besides, the killing is too heavy, and it hurts the peace of nature, and it is not a one-and-done solution. ”

"Xu Fu has been taught." The student also got up and replied.

Gao Ye thought about it, and always felt that Xu Fu's name was a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember who he was, but at this time, Xun Jing interjected: "Then according to Mingxi's opinion, what should be good for these aliens?" ”

"I pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a plan, but I just wanted to implement it, which was quite difficult, so I didn't do it in Wuyuan. But today I can say it for your reference. Please also ask for your advice. Gao Ye bowed his hand and saluted.

"Mingxi, please speak." Xun Jing, Xun Shuang and Sima Hui also gave a salute to Gao Ye.

"My plan is divided into four steps. One is to fight them until they submit. In fact, thanks to the grace of the ancestors of the past dynasties, the Huns are now quite subservient to our Han Dynasty, so it is enough to teach a little lesson. The second is to buy their cattle and sheep, and buy their skins. When it comes to doing business, my Han merchants are the best businessmen in the world, they exchange goods with tea, grain, and spirits with the Huns, but this is not enough, there are many ethnic groups in the north, and we also need to sow discord and let them kill each other, so that my Han can be profitable. ”

"This is a trick to lead the water to the east, but it is not difficult, it seems that the difficulty is still to come." Sima Hui stroked his beard and said.

"Exactly, this third step, they are fighting around, the population is sparse, and the armor is insufficient, at this time, they only need to find a reason, such as attacking our Han subject country or something without authorization, and then they can officially garrison the army in the grassland to maintain peace. The second is to build schools and force all the northern aliens to learn the etiquette of our Han family, especially the children, which is the most important thing. Whoever dares to resist will be put into slavery, whether it is to help my Han build bridges and pave roads, or to dig rocks, just to let the Huns know that they can live better by learning the etiquette of our Han family! ”

Gao Ye saw that everyone was listening attentively, and finally smiled and said: "This is the end, hehe, a nation that doesn't even have words, there are one or two generations of people who have learned my Han culture since childhood, and when the time comes, who will remember that they are Huns?" Yi Di enters Huaxia and Huaxia, boy," Gao Ye looked at Xu Fu and said, "You don't have to use a knife to exterminate the dead race. He looked at the little ghost just now, and said with a smile: "Boy, this is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”
