For all the affairs of Youzhou, Liu Wei was handed over to Fan Zhongyan and Xue Rengui was responsible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Hu people outside the plug are integrated, this is also a big deal after all, and the equipment of 30,000 cavalry cannot be taken out by Youzhou, and the support of Luoyang is also needed.

Therefore, Xue Rengui asked Yuwen Chengdu to form a cavalry and train diligently, and on the other hand, he and Fan Zhongyan jointly wrote to Liu Wei to state the matter. The letter was quickly sent to Liu Bian, but Liu Bian's brocade guards were pervasive, and Liu Bian knew about this matter in the first two days.

For this matter, Liu Wei must be supportive, cavalry has always been the weakness of the Han Dynasty, and the cavalry is only a quiet and cool type of cavalry in the Han Dynasty. Bingzhou was formed after the Battle of Yanmen that year, and after years of development, there are now more than 20,000 cavalry. At the same time, a team of 10,000 cavalry was formed, commanded by Gao Changgong, which was placed in the Hangu Pass, because of Chang'an, Luoyang and Luoyang are very important, it is the east and west of the Han Dynasty, and the Hangu Pass is very close to the two places, from the Hangu Pass whether it is to Chang'an, or Luoyang, most of the day can be reached. If there is a safety in the capital, this cavalry can arrive to support in half a day, and the raid on Chang'an in Youzhou was thanks to the protection of this cavalry. This cavalry cannot be used lightly, and is used to guard the safety of the two capitals.

The cavalry of Youzhou, after several years of development, also has about 10,000 people, while Liangzhou, Cao Cao only guards Longxi, Tianshui, Wudu and other counties. The rest of Liangzhou is still in the hands of the Mongols, so there are not many sources of war horses, in addition to the two cavalry of the White Horse Yicong and the Tiger and Leopard Iron Cavalry, there are more than 10,000 cavalry slowly formed in recent years.

In this way, the cavalry in Liu Wei's hands was only about 60,000. This number is indeed a lot compared to the princes of all walks of life. But compared with the Mongol Jurchens, it is much inferior, each of them has more than 200,000 cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is terrifying, compared to the white horse Yicong and the tiger and leopard iron cavalry.

As for these cavalry in Yanmen, Youzhou, and Longxi, they have poor actual combat experience, and their cavalry commanders are not familiar with the tactics of the Mongol and Jurchen cavalry. If you want to compare with the Mongols and Jurchen cavalry, it is simply impossible.

Without cavalry, how could it be possible to confront the Mongols, and the Jurchens? Even if Liu Wei relied on the Great Han City for defense, it would not be a long-term solution, and Liu Wei would not let such a powerful foreign clan continue to exist at all. Sweeping away these two clans, Liu Wei is bound to win, but without a strong cavalry, this idea is tantamount to empty talk.

Even if Liu Wei had peerless commanders like Li Jing and Xue Rengui under him, there was no cavalry, and he wanted to compete with this kind of tribe by relying on infantry, he didn't dare to say that he would win. If it drags on for a long time, Liu Wei will not be able to exterminate these two clans in his lifetime, and his descendants will change their strategies, and history may also develop in the same direction.

Therefore, the cavalry is the top priority, Liu Wei has always shown goodwill with Ran Min, in addition to respecting Ran Min, Liu Wei just wants to win this beggar army in a hundred battles. Now that the alien races outside the Sai have taken refuge, and there is the training of a fierce general like Yuwen Chengdu, it will not be long before this cavalry can burst into power. Because they are skilled in mounted archery, they only need to train discipline and tactics. Long-term things have already been learned, and the flow of discipline and tactics can be achieved in one or two years.

Liu Wei immediately convened a court meeting and asked the ministers to discuss the matter.

Above the court, Liu Wei circulated the letter to the ministers, and then said: "Now that Yuwen Chengdu has integrated a number of tribes and formed 30,000 cavalry to serve my Han, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Fan Wenzheng and General Xue passed on the details of this matter, that Yuwen Chengdu is brave and invincible, and his strength is on par with General Xue. And my Han lacks cavalry, if you can let the Hu people form a cavalry, and there is a fierce general like Yuwen Chengdu to lead the battle, this is the blessing of the Han! Tai Lieutenant Lu Zhi arched his hand and said.

"Although the Hu people are usable, they cannot believe it all, if they are not driven to a dead end, how can this be the case? What do you propose for them to remain faithful? Liu Wei asked.

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, these Hu people are attached to the Han Dynasty, and they don't care that they can't survive and are afraid of Mongolia. But in the future, when the Mongols are cleared, they will inevitably return to the steppe, and Your Majesty might as well educate them and turn them into Han people. And those cavalrymen, seeing that the clansmen have become the people of my Han Dynasty, will also serve our Han with peace of mind, and they don't have to worry about their rebellion! ”

Liu Wei nodded after hearing this and said: "What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, but the same was true of the Southern Xiongnu back then, they were originally placed in Hetao, but after they found that they were strong, they enslaved the Han people and invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty. I have to guard against it. How do you talk about education, and what are the specific strategies for how to do it? ”

"When the Southern Xiongnu were resettled, they directly gave them the river and let them develop on their own. The management is lax, and now His Majesty has to learn a lesson, and it should be divided and merged! Nowadays, the upper counties of the prefecture, Xihe, south of Yanmen and other places are vast and sparsely populated, and those foreign races can be arranged in these places, dividing their ethnic groups, making them live together with the Han people, learning the Han culture, and letting them abandon grazing and engage in farming, and these places must also be governed by Han officials. In this way, after only a few years, they got used to the life of the Han Dynasty, and they took root in the land, that is, they will destroy Mongolia in the future, are they willing to go back? In a few years, let them intermarry with the Han people, if they don't want to, they will give all kinds of rewards, and in a few years, they will be inseparable from each other with my Han people, and completely become Han people! ”

Liu Wei groaned: "In your opinion, how many years can bring these people back to their hearts?"

"If they are the destruction of the country by His Majesty, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to their hearts for a hundred years, but they are the destruction of the Mongolian country, and they are grateful for the acceptance of the Han Dynasty, if they are implemented according to the strategy of Weichen, they can return to their hearts in twenty years!" Xun Yu replied.

Liu Wei is now the son of the Han Dynasty, and from the current point of view, Liu Bian's behavior should be based on the interests of the Han Dynasty. Although later generations were inseparable from these Hu people, they are now enemies and will pose a threat to the Han Dynasty. But if it is implemented according to Xun Yu's strategy and let Hu Ren become Han people, Liu Wei doesn't mind.

A big country should have the bearing of a big country, and since it will not cause harm to the country, Liu Wei will not look at it with colored glasses. On the premise of ensuring national security, we should be tolerant and reformed. Great countries will not despise other races, not to mention that according to the maps of later generations, they are also the people living in the country.

However, there are some tribes, Liu Wei will not tolerate them, they are born cheap bones, such as people who live south of Xuanzhu in Youzhou, and those islands overseas.

Indoctrination and intermarriage have happened before, especially in Xiliang, where it is very common. However, this kind of thing also needs to have a specific policy, Liu Wei nodded in agreement, looked at Xun Yu and said: "Wen Ruo, since you put forward this idea, you will draft a copy and discuss a specific policy." Twenty years later, I want these people to forget their country, become Hermes-Epitek, and be reluctant to leave! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Liu Wei said: "Now there are nearly six or seven hundred thousand Hu people, and it is difficult for Youzhou to support them, so I used this as an excuse to relocate these people to Bingzhou, Shangjun, Xihe, Yanmen and other places. As for the cavalry is still formed, if the leaders of all parties do not obey, for the time being, they will say that they will live temporarily, and in the future, when the Mongols are destroyed, they can return to the steppe! It's just that the annexation state side must first deal with it properly, and only when the land, houses, food, and everything is ready will they be allowed to relocate, and I want them to settle down as soon as they come! ”

The population of nearly 700,000 can be equivalent to half of the population of Bingzhou, but fortunately, Shangjun, Xihe, and Yanmen are vast and sparsely populated, and it is not difficult to arrange these people. It may seem troublesome at the moment, but it is actually a long-term solution, and now there are crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, and those places are suitable for growing these crops. In a few years, it will be able to return to the Han Dynasty and build this place into a grain and grass.

"What about Yuwen Chengdu? Now that he has formed a cavalry to serve the Han Dynasty, what kind of general should I make him a general? Liu Wei continued to ask.

"In the past, there were positions such as Captain Wuhuan and General Du Liao, who were responsible for managing the border defense of the Han Dynasty and dealing with the affairs of the Hu people. Now that the Han Dynasty is in civil strife, these positions are no longer available. Your Majesty can restore the post of General Duliao, grant Yuwen Chengdu, let him guard the border defense of Youzhou, and deal with the affairs of the Hu people in the north! Lu Zhi suggested.

Liu Wei shook his head and said: "General Du Liao is here because of Liaoshui, and Liaoshui is in Hetao, if Ran Min surrenders, it is appropriate for me to seal General Du Liao." But Yuwen's Chengdu Department is in the upper valley area of Youzhou, and this Liao general is not worthy of his name! ”

As soon as Lu Zhi heard Liu's veto, he said: "If you don't call General Duliao, let's call Captain Wuhuan!"

"The soldiers and horses under the command of Yuwen Chengdu come from various tribes, and they are called Wuhuan Captain, which is even more inappropriate!" Liu Wei vetoed again.

One or two official positions in charge of foreign clans were all vetoed by Liu Wei, and the ministers had no better proposals. Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Yuwen Chengdu Department integrates Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and even Qiang people, which is unprecedented in ancient times, and Your Majesty will not guard against adding a general's position!"

Liu Wei smiled: "This proposal is very good! It's better to call it General Tianbao, this cavalry is not easy to obtain, it can be said that God has given me a treasure of the Han Dynasty. named Tianbao, I hope that this cavalry will not be able to conquer the east and west of the Han Dynasty, and how to establish meritorious deeds! ”

General Tianbao is the title of Yuwen Chengdu in his previous life, and Liu Wei also gave an explanation, no matter whether it sounds good or not, the emperor came up with it anyway. The ministers then said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Since this is the case, Xun Yu immediately drafted a decree, enshrined Yuwen Chengdu as the general of Tianbao, as the general of the Sanpin miscellaneous number, and formed 30,000 Hu cavalry to guard the north of Youzhou. In addition, its cavalry weapons and armor will also be built as soon as possible and sent to the army! ”

"Xun Yu, you are transferring talents at the border of Bingzhou, looking for people who can speak the languages of various departments, and establishing potato yaya in Xihe, Shangjun, Yanmen and other places. Until March next year, the relocation will be carried out, spring ploughing will be carried out, and all tribes must be treated equally, not to be scorned, not to be connived, you are fully responsible for this matter, I want the results, and the process must be done for me! ”

Xun Yu's face was bitter, everyone only needs the result, you still have to look at the process now, isn't this embarrassing for me? Xun Yu sighed and said: "Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy task, but this matter is too difficult and cumbersome, and I ask Your Majesty to send someone to assist Weichen!"

"Oh? Who do you need to help? Liu Wei asked with a smile.

"Lord Liu, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture!" Xun Yu replied.

"This Xun Yu has a good vision! It's not bad to let Liu Bowen get some performance! Liu Wei secretly looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Liu Ji, you will assist Xun Yu and be in charge of this matter!"

"Wechen obeys!" Liu Bowen hurriedly surrendered his hand.
