Xu Huang smiled disdainfully, "Even if there is a rebellion, it is just some thieves, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou have thieves every year. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yan Rou raised one hand, raised three fingers and said, "There are three major differences between the four states of the Northern Land and the Central Plains, first, the local clans are different, second, the places are different, and third, the terrain is different. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Cao Pi stopped Xu Huang from continuing to speak and asked.

"Let's talk about one first, there are only two kinds of people in the four states of the north under the rule of Yuan Benchu, one is the master and the other is the slave. I heard that in the Central Plains, because the son was granted by the first farmer, the grain production was increased, so as to exempt small farmers from paying taxes, and even subsidize small farmers, and there were small farmers in Yiyu, Yan, and Xu, but there were no such small farmers in the four northern states, because Yuan Shao acquiesced to the wealthy families in the four states to raise thieves for self-respect, and these thieves did not rob large households, but only robbed small farmers. Yuan Shao can lead hundreds of thousands of people south to the Central Plains and compete with Sikong, the Sizhou clan is no one to stay out of the matter, or to give people, or to give food, now Yuan Shao is defeated, Sikong went north, after pacifying the north, these big clans because of the funding of Yuan Shao, everyone is in danger, just afraid of a little dispute with the officials sent by the imperial court, the situation will be empty, if there are new people instigated from it, there will be a rebellion, how many people are in the four states? Today's Jizhou rebellion, tomorrow's Youzhou rebellion, the next year's merger and Qingzhou rebellion, now the world is undecided, how can Sikong take care of the north? ”

Cao Pi knew that Yan Rou mentioned this situation, Gongsun Xu also said that in order to annex the land, the big clan here secretly instructed the thieves to rob the small people, destroy their land, and force them to take the land into the manor as tenants, and this is how the Black Mountain thieves appeared. "One is reasonable, the other is right"

"Second, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou in the four states of the north are all bordered by foreign peoples, and most of the big clans living in the border counties have contacts with foreign peoples, and there are even intermarriages, not to mention that most of the current Wuhuan people live in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping three counties, and the sergeants under the command of the Wuhuan captain are all from these three counties, but the Wuhuan people in the three counties also have their own armies, and these armies have a close relationship with the Wuhuan people who return to Xianbei outside the Saiwai, and often pretend to be caravans out of the customs. In contrast, there are no foreign troubles in the Central Plains, once pacified, there are only occasional thieves, but here, there are foreign troubles. ”

Cao Pi opened his mouth and said: "The implication of the school captain's words is that if the officials sent by my father do not handle the relationship between Hu and Han well, and then there is a dispute with the local clan, the local clan and the Hu people will cooperate with each other, and then the rebellion in the four states will be a prairie fire." ”

Yan Rou said solemnly: "That's right! There is also a third, although there are lofty mountains and mountains in the four states of the north, but the land of the plains, the longitudinal horse galloping can pass eighty percent of the city, on the other hand, the land of the Central Plains, the hills are everywhere, the rivers and streams are staggered, there are still mires, the more complex the terrain is to the south, if I transport and build a good gallop road, it is difficult to gallop an inch in the Central Plains, and the south is even worse. Then the imperial court only needs to send troops to defend a few thoroughfares, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, it can block the thieves who raise troops in every square inch, and then send a large army to exterminate them, ensuring the peace of a state is as easy as a finger. But in the four states of the Northland, the Hu people outside the Saiwai are superb in equestrianism, there are a lot of horses, as long as they enter the pass, most of the places in the four states of the North are a horse and a flat river, and they can gallop without galloping, the Hu people are good at riding and shooting, and they can also sleep on the horse, and after a robbery, they exit the pass, there are vast yellow sands, endless snow-capped mountains, and there are still mountains that cannot be seen, and the terrain is extremely complicated, and there is no trace at all. It is that even if the four states are pacified and the Hu trouble is not solved, the land of the four states will still be full of smoke, and if the local wealthy families and the Hu people join forces, the land of the four states will never be peaceful. ”

"The Captain is well aware of the situation in the Northlands. You said that there is a strategy to pacify the northern region, and you think that these disasters already have a corresponding strategy in your heart? Cao Pi looked at Yan Rou and said slowly, he knew that the three points that Yan Rou said were the root of the chaos in the north, Yuan Shao was able to gain a firm foothold in the north, firstly, because of the family reputation of the fourth and third dukes, and secondly, because he compromised with the local clans and the Hu people.

According to Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou, the power of the wealthy clan in the north has been deeply rooted and cannot be uprooted, although the support method of introducing hybrid rice to small farmers for tax exemption and subsidies can enrich the household registration, but in the view of the more concentrated resources of the northern clan, the self-sufficient small farmers will eventually be exploited by the monopoly of the daily necessities of the manufacturing clan, so it is certain that the more northland clan has a good relationship, there is no other choice at all, and they are the real masters of the north for a long time in the future.

As for the scourge of the Hu people outside the Guan, it is a more headache problem, Gongsun Zan dominated Youzhou when he was strong against the Hu people, which is well-known in the world, look at Gongsun Xubai Ma Yicong's tactics to know that they are experts in dealing with the Hu people, but in the end they were still defeated under the hands of a large number of Hu people gathered by Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, although this has a major connection with Yuan Shao's attack, but it is undeniable that the Hu people in the north have become strong.

Compared with the local clans, these Hu people are more difficult to solve, the local clans are still the people of the Han family in the final analysis, the descendants of Yan and Huang, as long as they are still the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they must admit Cao Cao, who is not subordinate to the order of the Son of Heaven, as long as they admit it, they can communicate. But the Hu people are different, the Wuhuan people have moved in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and now they are gathered in the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping, and the year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been hundreds of years, and the Wuhuan people are still Wuhuan people.

In the words of later generations, this group of people is a very racist person, and they have not been assimilated at all, let alone Xianbei, Buyeo, and Goguryeo, who still have national unity, and it is useless to communicate with them, and treachery is not guilty at all for the Hu people, and they will communicate with you today and rob your food tomorrow. After all, the Hu people in this era have not yet been civilized to the extent that the Liao State must abide by the oath. What's more, there are four countries around, not one, and if you want to appease, it is very complicated. To convince them, the only way to defeat them is to use absolute force to fight them thousands of miles away.

It was precisely because he saw these stakes clearly that Cao Pi opened his mouth to ask Yan Rou for a solution.
