Chapter 11: The Road Ahead
However, although Xun You and Yuan Shao are both scholars, they take different paths, Ji Ping can also understand the thoughts of these scholars, after all, the monarchy is also deeply rooted in the thoughts of scholars, and now the government is dark, the world will be chaotic, and there are many divisions among scholars, they are all exploring a way out according to their own ideas.
Shu is indeed good, but it is too far, and there are many variables on the way, Ji Ping then asked: "What about Shudi?" ”
Another light flashed in Xun You's eyes: "Go to Hedong County." ”
"Hedong County?!" Ji Ping lost his voice and said, "Are you sure it's Hedong County?" That's Dong Zhuo's lair! ”
Although Dong Zhuo is now the pastor of the state, he did not go to the state to take office, but stationed the heavy troops in Hedong County to watch the movements of the Beijing division, so Hedong is Dong Zhuo's lair.
Xun You carefully analyzed: "If you want to divide one side, Yizhou is the best, but if you want to fight for the world, then the Qinchuan River in Guanzhong is the best for eight hundred miles, the mountains and rivers are all plugged, and the people are still cultivating and fighting, and Western Qin and Gaozu are based on this to seize the world."
The second is Hebei, the land of Jizhou, the territory is vast, the mountains and seas are sandwiched, and the Emperor Guangwu of my dynasty swept the world with the land of Hebei.
Secondly, Jiangdong, there is a Jianghuai barrier, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and it is difficult to seize the world with Jiangdong, although it is difficult but it can also be done.
It's just that the heroes are competing for the deer, and they will inevitably fight for Guanzhong, Hebei, Jiangdong, followed by Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jingxiang, which are all important places for the war, but His Majesty's identity is special, and in the troubled times, once the identity is exposed to the world, it will become the target of the public. ”
Hedong County is different, the Central Plains in the south, the state in the north, the land of Hedong and the state, sandwiched between Guanzhong and Hebei, the terrain is high and steep, enough to overlook three sides, the Yellow River in the southwest is half around, the Taihang Mountain in the east is the barrier, as long as you guard the eight dangerous passes, it is difficult for the army to attack, and the east of the river is mountainous, easy to hide, and adjacent to Shangdang County, the spine of the world, this is one.
The two, this is where Dong Zhuotun's soldiers are, once he gains power, he will definitely not be afraid of His Majesty hiding here. In addition, after Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, he will definitely transfer away the main force stationed in Hedong, defend Luoyang, and guard against the land of Shandong, so the land of Hedong is empty.
Moreover, Hedong County is narrow and densely populated, and there are Southern Xiongnu, Baibo and Yellow Turbans, the forces are complex, and they can raise their pawns by war, and the local forces are destroyed, compared with Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Guanzhong, the local heroes and families are weak, and it is easier to push the administrative order. ”
Ji Ping nodded again and again, the family gate valve flourished in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, at this time, although the family gate valve was still in the rising stage and did not completely control the political power, but it had a great influence on the local area.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were all constrained by the family when they were separating and rising, and even Liu Bei and Sun Quan later compromised with the family forces in exchange for the establishment of the country, and although Cao Cao issued a series of policies such as recruitment orders to suppress the family forces, the effect was not great.
However, what Ji Ping admires is that Xun You is from a famous family, but he is very fair when he gives advice, maybe this is the real mastermind and celebrity.
Xun You continued: "Three, in the troubled times, salt and iron grain are more important than money and jade, Hedong County is rich in fine iron, and Hedong salt is the best in the world, as long as you control the salt matter, you can be self-sufficient, and you can exchange it for grain, horses and iron tools with Jizhou, Guanzhong, and Shuzhong." ”
"And the most appropriate strategy to adopt by His Majesty is to recruit displaced people, recuperate in Tuntian, accumulate grain and grass, select soldiers, sharpen the military revolution, recruit talents, accumulate strength, and use the white wave and yellow scarves and the Southern Xiongnu as a cover, when the Central Plains is in turmoil, sit and watch the tiger fight, when the time comes, take the opportunity to occupy the party, pacify Baibo, pacify the Huns, control the Taixing in the Jizhou Pass, and then take the north and merge the state, Li Jing soldiers, build iron cavalry, Dongping Youzhou, encircle and annex Jizhou, and then sweep the world."
Xun You paused when he said this, and said: "However, the land of Hedong and Bingzhou, compared with Guanzhong and Hebei, is not enough to raise troops, so based on this, it lies in the way of elite soldiers. And this plan is also quite dangerous, Hedong County is complex, and the people of Hezhou are fierce, with Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Liangzhou Qiang in the west of Bingzhou. But in the identity of His Majesty, the only way to do this is to take this risk, not to mention the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, it is necessary to do extraordinary things. Only His Majesty is decided. ”
Speaking of this, Xun You's eyes were already shining.
Xun You looked at Ji Ping's noncommittal, slightly disappointed, and sighed: "Moreover, Hedong is the place where the Gyeonggi Division is subordinate, and it is only a river away from the Jingshi, and it is the most convenient for His Majesty to go to Hedong, and it can also avoid accidents and dangers." And the situation of the Beijing division is changeable, and it can also be improvised. ”
Ji Ping condensed his eyebrows and thought about it, he was self-aware, and he didn't have any idea of dominating the world at present, Xun You said so many strategic factors, all of which were secondary in his eyes.
But the last one, Hedong is close to Luoyang, if Luoyang changes, he can adapt to the situation, but it moved him.
Historically, when the Kwantung princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, they did not advance, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, burned Luoyang, and moved to Chang'an with nearly a million people all the way, it was cold in early spring, and there were countless deaths and injuries on the way, and only a hundred thousand people finally reached Chang'an!
It's a splash!
In any case, he is now the son of the Han Dynasty, although he has nothing to do and wants to escape, but with Xun You, the mastermind, if he really succeeds in escaping and can control an elite army, he still wants to do something for the people who are about to face disaster.
Moreover, he was also quite moved to join the state to resist the invasion of foreign races in the north.
He is afraid of death, but that doesn't mean he's timid and ruthless.
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the Han people were bullied by foreign races in the north, fighting for years, corpses and bones were everywhere, and the prosperous places of the Central Plains were ten rooms and nine empty. However, the alien races in the north took advantage of the chaos to plunder, and then gradually became stronger.
In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di and other alien races intensified the invasion of the Central Plains, and these barbarian alien races still retained the primitive cannibalistic beasts, among which the Xiongnu, the white Xiongnu, and the Xianbei were the most vicious.
More than 100 years later, in the first year of Yong'an in the Western Jin Dynasty, Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains and captured tens of thousands of Han girls. On the way back to the division, they were lascivious and humiliated along the way, and at the same time used these Han girls as military food, slaughtered and cooked, and when they went to Yishui, Hebei, there were only 8,000 girls left, and they couldn't eat them for a while, so they drowned all 8,000 girls.
The Qiang army never carried grain and grass when marching and fighting, and specially captured Han women as military rations, which the Qiang people called "two-legged sheep", which was used by soldiers for prostitution and pleasure at night, and slaughtered and cooked during the day.
Under the rule of Zhao Zhao, the Han nation was almost wiped out. By the time Ran Min destroyed Zhao, there were only four million Han people left in the Central Plains, and after Ran Min broke Ye, the number of Han women who were captured and plundered reached 200,000 at one time.
The fundamental reason why the Han people suffered this tragedy is that the Han population declined sharply during the Three Kingdoms period, and the comprehensive strength dropped greatly, otherwise how could it be arrogant to be a foreign race!
Since he has crossed and has a certain strength, he can't watch the people suffer, he doesn't want to do anything to save the world, but he also despises the kind of passers-by who don't save him when he sees death, and he is indifferent and inhumane.
The idea of resisting the alien race and protecting the Han people in his mind became stronger and stronger once it came out.
In later generations, many bricks said that Wuhu Chaohua was national integration, and praised it, saying that integration requires sacrifice, although Ji Ping was peaceful and open-minded, he couldn't help but scoff at it.
There are more ways to integrate nationalities, why are those aliens almost killing our Han people, and it is that kind of cruel way, if those brick families are in this era, I am afraid they will not say that, they will never consider from the aspect of human nature.
If he can escape from Luoyang and control an elite army, it is also a good choice to fight against foreign races.
National integration is possible, but it must be done according to his method, just because he is fortunate enough to come to this era, and perhaps this is also providence. Yes, that's providence.
As for the war to stop the Central Plains, Ji Ping never thought about it.
Since ancient times, there have been countless wars, which has almost become a law, and who can stop the torrent of history? Who can control the complexity of human nature? Blocking a small war will often lead to a bigger war and cause more damage. Even if the gods came into the world, they could only stop the war by killing, and if they wanted to stop the war, it was a fool's idea.
Regarding Xun You's Hedong scheme, Ji Ping has already recognized in his heart, and it is imperative that escape is still his only thought.
Not only for the sake of life, but also in this troubled era, if you want to really do something for the people, it is better to sit in the palace and go out.
In fact, he doesn't like troubled times, he likes stable days, his biggest wish in his last life is to be a teacher, there is no intrigue, he can read books on weekdays, and when he is old, he is full of peach and plums, how happy.
In this life, if possible, he wants to build a academy and brainwash all the juniors who can influence history, such as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, 6 Xun, and Cao Pi or something, it seems that they are only seven or eight years old at present, and they still have a chance.
Of course, this is just a wish of his, the world is unpredictable, and who knows if it can be realized.
However, he wants to work hard in this direction, the first one is naturally talent, Ji Ping turned his head, stared at Xun Yu tightly, and suddenly said: "I don't know if Xun Jun is willing to help me?" ”
Xun You's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister is the only one who is the only one." ”
Although he had already expected it in his heart, when it came to the end, Ji Ping couldn't help but be a little excited, took a deep breath, and said: "Xun Jun is talented, with Qing to help me, the luck of the people of the world, the luck of the Han!" ”
Xun was busy and humble.
Now that Xun Yu should go down, Ji Ping naturally didn't beat around the bush: "How can I escape from the palace?" ”
Xun You groaned: "You need to take advantage of the chaos to cooperate with the outside, and the inside should be used by the Yellow Gate to shoot Geng Zhong, and the external cooperation may consider the recruiting generals sent by the general to Beijing, Wang Kuang and Bao Xin are the general's cronies, and the rest of the Biqiu Yi, Zhang Yang, and Zhang Liao can all be accepted, but Biqiu Yi has already left Beijing, and only Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao have not yet left." ”
Zhang Liao? When Ji Ping heard Xun You mention Zhang Liao again, his heart moved, I don't know if this Zhang Liao is the fifth general of Cao Wei in history?
Xun You said slowly: "Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were originally engaged in the original Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan's subordinates, when the first emperor set up the eighth captain of Xiyuan last year, Ding Yuan sent two people into the Xiyuan Captain for Jian Shuo's use, and then the general killed Jian Shuo, Ding Yuan took refuge in the general, and now the two are also under the general, and they were sent to Bingzhou to recruit troops. ”
It seems that it is right, it is indeed Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan of the merged state, Ji Ping took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to see Zhang Liao, does Xun Jun have a way?" ”
The matter is too big, and he can't believe it, but Zhang Liao's character should be credible after historical appraisal.
Xun You said with a smile: "If you want to see Zhang Liao, you can find the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother loves Her Majesty, and the general has always valued the words of the Queen Mother." ”
Ji Ping nodded, thinking to himself, he didn't know if He Hou would agree to his request, but seeing that Xun Yu was so sure, it should be no problem.
If it can be done, with Xun You's plan and Zhang Liao outside, he needs to make some plans.
