Chapter 60: Liu Yu's Thoughts

Gongsun Xu didn't expect that his father Gongsun Chan was waiting for Meng Yi's army, and when the two of them were discussing how to wipe out the rebels and those Wuhuan lords, they actually waited for a letter that made them unbelievable.

This letter was sent to them by Youzhou Mu Liu Yu with more than a dozen personal entourage, and he even asked Meng Yi and Gongsun Chan to suspend the conflict with the Karasuma people, and let the dozen or so personal entourage supervise the transfer of troops by Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan.

Who is Liu Yu of Youzhou, Gongsun Xu combined some history of later generations during this period of time, and he also has some understanding of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather served as Guangluxun, and his father served as the Taishou of Danyang, both of whom were high-ranking officials, and it is said that their family is also the descendant of Liu Qiang, the eldest son of Liu Xiu (Liu Xiu's eldest son, who was the crown prince) of the East China Sea.

It can definitely be regarded as a royal family, in the eyes of people in this era, Liu Yu's background and identity are much more justifiable than the big-eared thief Liu Bei.

Liu Yu was promoted as filial piety in his early years, and later served as the assassin of Youzhou, and dealt with Beirong (Karasuma, Xianbei and other tribes), and his diplomatic and political methods were quite clever, and he handled the most difficult ethnic contradictions in Youzhou very well.

In the first year of Zhongping (in fact, it is more reasonable to call the first year of Zhongping the seventh year of Guanghe), Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army rebelled, and Anping and Ganling in Jizhou were the first to respond, and Liu Yu was awarded the title of Ganling Xiang (Ganling is Qinghe) at the moment of crisis, pacifying the local people, purging the Yellow Turban remnants, and having a small political achievement, was promoted to Zongzheng.

After Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others made a rebellion, the imperial court immediately thought of Liu Yu, who had rich diplomatic skills in Youzhou, so at this time, the imperial court transferred Liu Yu to Youzhou and let Liu Yu serve as the pastor of Youzhou.

After Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou, it should have coincided with Gongsun Zhan's great defeat of the rebels, and he wanted to use the military victory to propose peace conditions to the rebels, that is, as long as Karasuma handed over the Han Zhang Chun, peace would come.

At this time, whether it was an important minister in the court or a capable minister, they didn't want to start the war with Beirong again at such a time.

The Han Dynasty could not withstand such a toss during this time, and was able to peacefully resolve the dispute between Youzhou and the Beirong people, even if the Han Dynasty paid some losses.

In such a situation, Liu Yu had to ask Meng Yi and Gongsun Chan to suspend the conflict with the Karasuma people.

Liu Yu's idea came according to the wishes of the high-level, the world was unstable at this time, and if there was a violent conflict with Karasuma Xianbei's side, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Han Dynasty.

The main person who caused the rebellion was Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju was nothing more than an accomplice, and asking Zhang Chun back from the hands of the Karasuma people not only showed the mighty power of the Han Dynasty, but also revealed the strength of the Han Dynasty.

As for putting Qiu Liju back to Karasuma, it is even more beneficial and harmless.

Because Qiu Liju was the first Wuhuan lord to defect and surrender to the Han Dynasty, it was quite difficult for the Wuhuan people on the Karasuma side to accept Qiu Liju, and if Qiu Liju wanted to gain a foothold on Karasuma's side, he would have interests entanglement with Nanlin and several other large tribes.

Liu Yu, who often dealt with the Karasuma people, knew in his heart that if he put Qiu Liju back, even if Karasuma had the idea of attacking the Han Dynasty, it would be postponed for a period of time because of Qiu Liju's return.

Youzhou is a vast and sparsely populated area, and the policy of Huai Rou on the Karasuma side, coupled with the military coercion of Meng Yi's army and Gongsun Zhan's army, can even appease many Karasuma people.

Karasuma people can ride and shoot well, and they are natural cavalry blanks, even if they only educate 10,000, or 5,000 cavalry, it is definitely a great joy for the Han Dynasty.

Once this goal is achieved, it will definitely be a heart booster for the dangerous Han Dynasty, which can make the Han Dynasty survive for a while.

Gongsun continued to see that not only was his father Gongsun Zhan dissatisfied with Liu Yu's request, but even Meng Yi was also indignant about Liu Yu's request.

Although the two of them did not make a big disrespectful move after receiving Liu Yu's order, after returning to their respective camps, most of the generals had already heard that Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi both threw things to vent their dissatisfaction.

Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi are different from Liu Yu, they are natives of Liaoxi, and Liaoxi can be said to be the only way for Karasuma to attack the Han in the south.

In recent years, the Han Dynasty has been turbulent, and the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people in Beirong have often invaded the south, looting the property and livestock of the people in Liaodong and Liaodong, and even taking countless strong men as slaves from Liaodong in Liaoxi.

After Zhang Chun's rebellion, from Youbeiping to Liaoxi and even Liaodong, countless people were displaced, and even countless people were caught by Wuhuan people to Beirong.

Gongsun Chan and Meng Yi can be said to have fought hard to achieve a phased victory, but this hard-won victory was handed away, and even the fruits of their hard work will be picked by others.

In the hearts of Gongsun Zan and Meng Yi, Liu Yu is nothing more than a scholar who wants to appease those who are educated Karasuma.

However, if they can be appeased according to Liu Yu's wishes, then more than half of the eleven counties in Youzhou have become the racetrack of the Karasuma people, allowing them to come over to hunt the grass valley every winter.

Liu Yu's kind of thinking is simple and naïve, even if the Karasuma people agree to Liu Yu's request, they turn around and don't recognize people, what can Liu Yu do with these Karasuma people at that time.

If it really comes to that point, even Meng Yi and Gongsun Chan will not be able to control the situation here, and even from Yuyang County to Youbeiping, all these places will become the territory of the Karasuma people.

However, Liu Yu's order has been conveyed to them, and if they do not obey Liu Yu's words and continue to act, they will disobey the orders of the superiors, and they will be labeled as disobeying the holy order.

It was the intention of the imperial court to talk to Beirong about this kind of thing, if they really didn't follow the order and insisted on going their own way, they would be the ones who would suffer at that time.

Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi were at a loss, and they gathered all their subordinates to discuss this matter together, but they discussed it all afternoon, and they did not come up with any effective plan.

Liu Yu represents the emperor in the palace, and even more so represents the interest group of the imperial family, and they are now determined to negotiate with the Beirong side and want to treat the Beirong side with the Huairou policy.

The original intention they sought was that the Beirong side could not go to war with the Han Dynasty in the past two years.

Even if it fattened Beirong's side like this, it would not hesitate to let those barbarians threaten the entire Youzhou in the future.

The whole idea is not only the idea of the imperial family, but also the thoughts of many ministers and eunuchs in the court, they feel that Youzhou is nothing to the entire Central Plains, and they would rather give up most of the interests of Youzhou than damage the interests of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains because of small losses.

Once the Beirong people find an excuse to enter Youzhou, the Han Dynasty will not be able to come up with many soldiers to resist these barbarians.
