Chapter 390: Not Defense, but Offense
Aliens may indeed have hateful and evil things, but what Liu Yi said is indeed an objective problem.
They may be born aggressive, they are born to be murderous. However, even if this is the case, if they are allowed to live in an environment where there will be no shortage of food and clothing, and their lives will not be in danger at any time, will they still be so bad that they will always attack the big man?
The Northwest Desert is a barren land that is difficult to grow and depends on grazing. Their civilization has almost no existence, and they are always facing a crisis of vitality, and how many people have died for thousands of years due to natural disasters and the disappearance of entire tribes?
The alien tribes of Xiliang, they returned to the Han Dynasty, at the beginning, or they were supported by the Han court, so that they learned the civilization of the Han people, knew how to farm, and were able to be self-sufficient, or, individual foreign tribes, finally had a fixed clan settlement. However, the Han court had to tax them, and the Han officials had to exploit them, and slowly, it was difficult for them to survive. If they don't rebel, they won't be able to live.
In fact, Liu Yi also knew that at the beginning, many of those aliens in Xiliang had indeed been sinicized, and in their hearts, they had already regarded themselves as Han people, and they had a loyal heart to the Han court, and many Xiliang aliens were proud to be able to serve the Han Dynasty. This is undeniable. Later, that is, in the middle and late stages of the history of the Three Kingdoms, weren't there many foreign tribes who served the Three Kingdoms regime?
Anyway, Liu Yi thinks that the Xiliang aliens, the Di, Qiang and other tribes, they should also be forced to survive to rebel. Living environment. It is also a major reason for those aliens to harass us in Huaxia all the time.
Afterworld. Why was the Tibet Railway built? That is to do a good job in Tibet's economy. Let the lives of people in those areas be better. Otherwise. With development, the gap between the rich and the poor has intensified. The people who were already restless were not jealous of the wealthy southeastern region? are also Chinese, why can people in those areas live so richly? Why are they poor?
It has to be said that sometimes, the environment is also a factor that determines some of their ideas and practices. Therefore, only by building a good environment in Tibet so that they can also see the hope of prosperity, will it be possible for their hearts to be balanced. Otherwise. Sooner or later, something will go wrong.
Liu Yi gave the courtiers an analysis of the factors of the harsh environment, and then talked about the oppression of those foreign races by the Han court and government more than ten or twenty years ago, as well as some local tyrants. According to some historical accounts, at that time, the government of Xiliang probably would not treat those foreign races such as Di and Qiang as people, and every official in office. I am afraid that I can oppress if I can, and I can use the privileges in my hands to loot as much property as I can.
That, not to mention those ferocity. There are still a few ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang who still retain the fierceness of their alien people, even if the Han people are too oppressed, don't they rise up to resist?
After telling the ministers this. Jia Xu also came back to his senses and said, "Xiliangdi, Qiang and other alien tribes. In fact, they are all very scattered, and they are not all together. I want to bring all the Xiliang alien races together. It's definitely not an easy task. Moreover, these Xiliang aliens, they yearn for our Han culture in their hearts, but because they have been oppressed by our Han Dynasty after submitting to our Han Dynasty, they are now full of vigilance against our New Han Dynasty court, and they generally do not believe us lightly. They trust the weapons in their hands more. In the same way, they will definitely not believe in Yizhou Liu Zhang or Hanzhong Zhang Lu lightly. It's just that if you want Han people, they are afraid that they will not take it lightly and completely believe it. So, that said, we still have a chance. β
"Before, because Xiliang was too chaotic, it was not easy for us to send people to find the tribes of the aliens in Xiliang, and it was difficult to meet their tribal leaders, so one day, the forces and princes of Xiliang were not eliminated, and it was a little difficult for us to contact them and persuade them to submit to our new Han Dynasty. However, how we deal with the Saiwai tribes who surrendered to our new Han Dynasty must have reached the ears of those Xiliang tribes. In this way, Jia believes that our New Han Dynasty can still fight to persuade those foreign tribes to submit to our New Han Dynasty. In this way, the crisis in Xiliang naturally does not exist. β
"Lord Jia, in the current situation, how can we convince the Xiliang alien tribe?" At that moment, some courtiers asked suspiciously.
"After this court meeting, Jia will return to Xiliang and go to the foreign tribes to ask for a meeting with the leaders of their tribes and persuade them to submit to the New Han Dynasty."
"What? Master Jia, are you going? It's too dangerous, it's not going to work. β
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, but Jia has already negotiated with the lord, and it won't get in the way.
Many court officials who are good friends with Jia Xu, and even those who are promoted by Jia Xu, are a little worried about Jia Xu.
"The situation in Xiliang, if you put aside those aliens, those princes' forces will not actually be the opponent of our new Han army in Xiliang. Even if they have formed an alliance. Now, generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Qin Jie will lead the army to enter Xiliang with Jia to fight. They, firstly, can form a deterrent to those Xiliang alien races, and secondly, they are even more wary of Jia Xu's failure to persuade them to surrender, and when they want to attack us, they can carry out a powerful counterattack against them. Jia Xu finished speaking indifferently and retreated into the court.
"It's all clear, right?" Liu Yidao: "Yizhou, Hanzhong, and Xiliang, in fact, we don't have to worry too much. Regarding the issue of Xiliang, even if our army is temporarily defeated, we can retreat to the Tianshui area and block those alien armies in Xiliang. But, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever seen a time when our New Han Army will be defeated by the enemy? Therefore, in the end, we are only left with the Wuhuan alien race, Xianbei and other aliens outside the Great Wall of Youzhou. In this regard, the alien army is also the enemy army with the largest number of soldiers. β
"My lord, the enemies of Yizhou, Hanzhong, and Xiliang are indeed not to be worried. However, just the alien race outside the Great Wall of Youzhou is enough to give us a headache. Some courtiers said worriedly: "The Wuhuan people, in terms of number alone, they will not be less than the Huns back then." There will be even more, especially the Wuhuan people of Liaodong. The living environment of the northern grassland is much better than that of the northwest desert. Their people also seem to be more easily gathered. This time, it is very likely that they will dispatch an army of nearly a million aliens at once. β
"The army of millions of Wuhuan, plus, I heard that the Xianbei people who are more fierce than the Huns, there are many small foreign tribes. I think its strength can be comparable to the total strength of our New Han Dynasty, right? If we can't push them against the enemy outside the pass, once they are allowed to break into Youzhou, then ...... "like Lu Zhi, who is more clear about the alien races in the north." I'm also a little worried at the moment.
What he was worried about was that if the aliens entered Youzhou, it would be unstoppable. You know, almost all of them are cavalry. In one day, it is possible to kill from Youzhou to Jizhou. Jizhou, which the New Han Dynasty had just recovered, was likely to tremble and weep under the iron hooves of the alien cavalry.
In fact, if such a situation really happens, then don't talk about Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places. They will all fall, and they will all be ravaged by those aliens. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, there were cases of aliens killing and plundering in Qingzhou.
In later generations, Xiao Ri was the first to win the three northeastern provinces. After entering the customs, they swept most of China in a short period of time. However, now the aliens. It's not the little Japanese people of later generations.
"Hehe, that's right. What Lord Lu Zhi said is extremely worrying. Liu Yi smiled and said, "No." This is not a good opportunity for our new Han Dynasty. β
"Oh?" A group of courtiers looked at Liu Yi with questions.
"Dissatisfied with everyone, a few days ago, Liu had already ordered Jizhou's Xi Zhicai military division, General Zhao Yun, and General Gongsun Zan to lead their New Han Army north to Youzhou. At the same time, an order has been issued to allow the New Han Dynasty to launch a war mobilization, and ordered local governments to immediately begin to prepare various supplies. You should all know this. Liu Yi said: "However, the fate of Zhicai, Zhao Yun, and Gongsun Zan did not come to Youzhou to defend against the enemy's attack, but to let them take the initiative to attack." We cleaned up the Huns, and we couldn't spare our hands to clean up the Wuhuan people for a while, but now it's good, they didn't learn the lessons of the Huns, and dared to provoke our Xinhan Dynasty Tianwei, this is their own death! Therefore, if we don't move, we must completely solve them, otherwise, let them come to invade us for a long time, when will this be a head? In short, no matter what, this time, we must completely solve the problem of alien people in the north, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, no matter which alien tribe they are, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die! β
Liu Yiwei said domineeringly: "I hope that from now on, we in China will eliminate the threat of foreign races to our Han people for thousands of years, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" This time, no mercy will be spared. Among them, the Goryeo aliens on the Liaodong Peninsula were embraced. They must also be completely wiped out, in fact, they are also part of our Han territory! β
"This time, it's not our defense, it's the march. Therefore, the scale of the materials we prepared is even larger than that of the expedition to the Northwest Desert. Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "After the court meeting, all the ministers in the court must focus on this and take this as the center of their future work." β
"Yes!"
The ministers seemed to be able to feel Liu Yi's determination, so no one dared to raise an objection.
Next, the ministers had to discuss how to prepare the supplies and supply the New Han army to fight in the north in the cold winter in the future. Ensure that the New Han Army can still fight as usual even in a cold environment.
At the same time, they also discussed how to beware of Cao Cao, and how to increase troops in Youzhou in the future.
The territory of the north is equally vast, and it will not be smaller than the northwest desert. And, unlike the Northwest Desert, there are more boreal forests. Hundreds of thousands of New Han troops, if they want to completely control the Northeast after defeating the Wuhuan people, it will probably be a little difficult. At that time, if you want to completely eliminate those aliens, it will be difficult to eliminate them, and in those mountains and forests, how to search for aliens living in the forests? On the contrary, in such an environment, how to guard against people of different races from countering the plot is also an extremely important issue.
Attacking and killing head-on, with the current combat strength of the New Han Army, it is not afraid of aliens, the question is how can aliens fight with the New Han Army in a dignified battle?
Many courtiers thought that it was a bit difficult for Liu Yi to talk about completely exterminating the aliens at once.
In fact, why is it more difficult? In Liu Yi's heart, he actually felt a little unrealistic. You must know that the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains of the three northeastern provinces are all vast primeval forests, which are the largest primeval forests in China, and Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, these areas are vast and boundless, and the difficulty of completely eliminating the aliens in these areas is like catching all the fish in the sea, which is really impossible.
Of course, with the experience of conquering the Northwest Desert, Liu Yi believes, it is not completely impossible. A qiΔ is all about man-made.
In the end, after discussion, Liu Yi had to temporarily abandon the action of sending LΓΌ Bu and Chen Gong to lead a new Han army into the Wa Kingdom. At the very least, when the Han Dynasty has not yet been unified and the alien race has not been destroyed, it is not wise to rush to send a large army out of the country. Liu Yi also knew that he was in a hurry.
However, it is possible to use this army horse to prepare for an expedition against the Japanese kingdom.
Liu Yi decided to order Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, as well as Huang Zhong and Huang Xu's father and son, to immediately organize a naval army of about 200,000 horses to transport a batch of supplies from Dongting Lake to the coast to the north, enter the Bohai Sea, and land directly from Liaodong. Of course, a total of 100,000 horses were transferred from the Qu'a and Sun Ce military, except for this army and horses to act together, that is, the army that went north from the sea, which was 300,000 horses.
In this way, Guan Yu was also responsible for the military affairs of Dongting Lake and took on the responsibility of defending Dongting Lake. Ordered Zhang Fei to immediately launch an attack on Yizhou, cut off all the routes that Yizhou might enter the Central Plains, and did not give Yizhou's military horses a chance to kill.
In fact, Guan Yu still stayed in Xiangyang, mainly to let those surrendered troops in Jingzhou form combat effectiveness. If necessary, his troops should also be transferred to the northern battlefield. With Wu Yi in Dongting Lake, there will be no problem.
Going north to Liaodong by sea can be regarded as a test of the long-range offensive capability of the New Han Navy, and it is also an opportunity for the officers and men of the New Han Army to accumulate experience in long-range operations. Liu Yi thought about it, and felt that he was indeed too anxious, that time to kill the Japanese country, the sea storm on the way, almost wiped out his army, now, the first thing to do is to let the soldiers of the New Han Army know and adapt to such a big storm.
However, Liu Yi still sent another general and asked him to lead a group of soldiers and horses to go to the Evil Horse Platform of the Wa Kingdom first. It's to go to see what the current situation is in the Wa Kingdom, and to say hello to the women such as Himiko and Tsukiyo in the Wa Kingdom, so that they can rest assured, not that they don't visit them in time to pick them up to Dahan, but that they can't get out of something for the time being.
