Chapter 824 Grand Pattern
"General Wang's strategy of leveling the north has given a way out for those who have more ambition and less strength, and at the same time, it also has the effect of ensuring the peace of the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, which cannot be said to be a great good policy." Gongsun Du spoke slowly, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, but his tone was unusually solemn, and everyone stopped and looked over, knowing that what he said next was not trivial.
"General Wang's whimsical ideas, Du is also breathtaking, only one thing is unknown, is General Wang so relieved about Du?" Saying that, Gongsun Du raised his head, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Wang Yu, "Du is in Liaodong, there is a sea route, there is a threat to Qingzhou, after Du is out of the congestion, although there is no convenience by sea, but there is no cramped ...... in Liaodong"
"Du does not dare to be arrogant, and the eloquence of Emperor Wu of Qin is roughly on par with him, but he thinks that he should be no worse than Mao Dun, military ministers and the like, with these sharp weapons provided by General Wang, plus there are still some good warriors under Du, at most seven or eight years, at least three or four years, will be able to open up a new world in the eastern part of the grassland!"
Mao Dun is the master of the Xiongnu Zhongxing who killed his father and defeated the Yueshi and Donghu, and he was the one who surrounded Liu Bang in Baishan Mountain. Chechnya is the grandson of Mao Dun, in the Wenjing era, he has well inherited the foundation created by his father and ancestors, and has created countless bloody cases in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Kingdom, while also enjoying the treatment of relatives.
Gongsun Du compared himself with the two, on the one hand, he showed his willingness to take the initiative to go north, and on the other hand, he also threatened, implying that after he unified the princes of the eastern steppe, he might also follow the example of the grassland overlords of the past dynasties and aim the spearhead at the Central Plains.
"Isn't General Wang afraid that when the time comes, the old state will sprout, turn the spearhead again, and covet the fertile soil of the Central Plains?"
Liu Yi's face changed suddenly.
As soon as Gongsun Du spoke, he felt that the momentum was wrong.
Today's negotiation results have actually far exceeded his expectations, although it is a bitter cold place, but with the support provided by the Qingzhou Army, at least it is no problem to ensure survival. Now that Xianbei has been newly defeated and fallen into internal strife, most of Karasuma has been destroyed, and the threat on the grassland is only Fuyu, Goguryeo and the like, as long as survival is guaranteed, what is the difficulty of wanting to fight a piece of the world?
As for why Wang Yu didn't restrict it......
Perhaps he was confident enough that his strength would grow faster than the expansion of Ergongsun's power, and when the two became the new overlords of the grassland, he also established an unshakable advantage in the Central Plains to dispel the ambitions of the two. Or he plans to use the strategy of two tigers competing for food, instigating the two grandsons to fight each other, and he will profit from it.
In short, there are a lot of things to say here, but they are all tacit and not in a hurry, at least in three or five years, and there is no need to think too much. When the situation begins to become clearer, it is not too late to try to plan, and it is not too late to fight openly and secretly.
Now that Gongsun Du has directly made it clear, it is obviously a little too impulsive, and it will be bad if it breaks up.
Liu Yi's attitude has changed dramatically, from the original reluctance to a staunch supporter of northward expansion.
Although the Liaodong army is strong, there are too many accidents in the grassland competition, a heavy snow can change the strength of the two tribes, and a plague is enough for the strong side to be easily taken by the bloodless soldiers. With or without the material delivery of the Qingzhou Army, the situation must be very different.
Although Liu Yi was in a hurry, he couldn't interrupt Gongsun Du's words, so he could only watch the latter put the rules and principles that should be hidden underwater on the table, and he just sighed secretly in his heart, and he was so depressed.
Liang Mao was very happy, Gongsun Du almost overturned the table this time, and Wang Yu couldn't be round at all.
How can he be rounded? Regarded as the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty? Isn't that going to be the way to cut the feudal domain in the future? Can you really let someone else sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Continue to see the grasslands as a place of disintegration? Isn't that just coaxing people out and exiled? The second grandson is a thunderbolt and a hot temper, and the temper of grievances is clear, this resentment may not be released now, but what about the future? After this meaning is clarified, even if the plan is still carried out, the two sides can only maintain a superficial harmony.
This is the intention to plant flowers and flowers not to bloom, and to unintentionally plant willows and willows into the shade.
Liang Mao worked hard, very hard, to suppress his joy, not to let the smile appear on his face, frowned slightly, and looked at Wang Yu with a very concerned expression, expecting things to develop in a more interesting direction.
"Brother Shengji's concerns, in fact, the younger brother has also considered it, and the result is ......" Wang Yu spread his hands and said: "There is no way." β
Gongsun Du was stunned, and everyone else was also very surprised, no way? Although everyone knows that this is an unsolvable proposition, Wang Yu's performance has always made people feel that he is omnipotent, and hearing him say in person that he can't help it is really difficult to adapt.
Just a little bit, Liang Mao laughed out loud, he finally found the bright spot in Wang Yu, maybe it was this stupid frankness that gathered Tian Yuanhao and Xian Zhengnan around him, right?
What is the saying? It's silly, but it's a little cute......
Although he forcibly suppressed his laughter, Liang Mao's twitching movements looked very abrupt, he knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly laughed dryly, and covered up: "General Wang is quick to talk, and he is also a lover, the ancients said: The law is nothing more than human affection, and several generals are like-minded, so it is better to become Jinlan brothers and swear never to interact with swordsmen, it is not a good story." β
He is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open, in order to compete for power, fathers and sons and brothers still have many enemies and cannibalists, relying on the friendship of righteous brothers to ensure peace between countries, it is simply child's play.
If Liang Mao said this on another occasion, the irony would be clear, but now although his words are not very popular, with Wang Yu's attitude as a footnote, it can also be understood as the meaning of playing a round.
Gongsun Du didn't care about Liang Mao, this person originally followed Yuan Shao's path, and it was normal to look at Wang Yu unpleasantly. What's more, this person's morale is very high, and it is not surprising that he has been left out in the cold for so long in today's talks, so he is a little resentful.
He didn't answer Liang Mao's words, just put it aside, and asked, "General Wang said there is no way?" Is this the meaning that Pingbeice has not yet thought through? β
"Since what Brother Shengji said is ambition, then naturally there is no way, no matter what kind of power he has, how can he really control people's hearts?"
Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and replied frankly: "In my opinion, after a few years, Brother Shengji may be more ambitious than now, but after all, you are not a Hu chief like Maodun and Chechnya, and you are not unable to grab it, besides, the territory in the north is large, you will always have a trade-off in your heart, as long as the younger brother is conscientious and conscientious, there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, you will always not know the difficulties, right?" β
"If General Wang can really sweep Chengyu and stay in power, the Central Plains will be strong, but he will not be afraid of fighting between the north and the south." Gongsun Du's answer was also straightforward. His implication was that if Wang Yu pacified the Central Plains slowly, or if he himself was gone, he would still be very likely to go south to herd horses and compete for the Central Plains.
Liu Yi resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart: Didn't the lord say this to force the hussar general to make a fuss about the transportation of materials and tie the hands and feet of the Liaodong Army?
Unexpectedly, Wang Yu was not only not annoyed when he heard this, but nodded with a smile, looking like he was in the middle of it: "Brother Shengji is right, it is precisely because of the existence of Brother Shengji, even if the younger brother is gone, the successor will always have a sharp sword hanging in his heart, and he will not dare to slack off." If you slack off, you will be replaced by Brother Shengji. β
"......" Gongsun Du never expected that Wang Yu would give such an answer, and he didn't know how to continue for a while. Fortunately, Wang Yu saw his hesitation, and also knew that his concept was not easy to understand, so he explained it in detail.
"Actually, the younger brother also borrowed from the practice of the sages, when the Shang and Zhou alternated, King Wen divided the princes, and also saved the meaning of making the princes open up the territory, not to mention the northern Xinjiang at that time, even the land of Bashu and Wu Chu, and it is still a wilderness, it is because the princes work hard to open up for their own interests, which has the territory of the Han Kingdom today."
"By the time of the Autumn Warring States Period, the territory of the Central Plains was already very large, and there were some natural obstacles to the development of the Central Plains in any direction, so the outward development stalled, and everyone invested their strength in the Central Plains itself, but they forgot the original intention of Zhou Tianzi to divide the princes."
"Wang Yu Bucai, I am willing to reproduce the unfulfilled wishes of the sages, and continue to radiate the glory of my Han Dynasty to the end of the world!"
Wang Yu's statement is somewhat ironic, King Wen of Zhou may have indeed had the intention of letting the princes fight the world for him, but his main intention of dividing the princes was because he could not rule such a large territory.
However, Wang Yu said solemnly, and everyone couldn't help but think about it in the direction he pointed out, and found that there were indeed similarities in the situation of the two.
Although the current Han Dynasty is unified, its dominance has also reached its limit. The territory conquered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was gradually abandoned because he could not hold it, but because he could not rule effectively, so he had to give up.
If it is said that the so-called development of the national policy that Wang Yu said is indeed from the bottom of his heart, it is indeed the only feasible way to attack the outside in the way of dividing the princes.
"As for fetters, I would have thought that fettling the princes by power and scheming would certainly limit their development, but in this way, what difference would it have been before? At most, it is just a re-enactment of the story of Meng Tian and Huo Quai, it is better to generously recognize the right of meritorious people to rule the land they have conquered, and spread the glory of Chinese civilization wherever they go. β
With a bit of longing and expectation, Wang Yu told about his ideal powerful empire.
Maybe it's a bit naΓ―ve, but the cost won't be too great, and the worst outcome is just a return to the inherent routine of history, so it's worth a try.
If you succeed, maybe in your lifetime, you will be able to see a great Han empire that will not fall. If you are a traditional emperor, it is impossible to realize such a dream no matter what, the traditional way of ruling and ruling the inherent territory of the Central Plains has reached the extreme, and it is impossible to remotely control the expeditionary corps outside.
People are selfish, rather than vain remote control, it is better to learn from the colonists of later generations, just use civilization and force to continue to conquer, although this kind of rule may not be strong enough, after thousands of years, these colonies will still become a country on their own, but the English and European culture that are popular all over the world in later generations are not enough to tell the story?
Later generations of officials often complained, complaining that European and American countries always like to unite and bully people, but in fact they did not grasp the essence of the problem at all, and those English-speaking countries were originally one and the same, but nominally not called a country.
Therefore, Wang Yu doesn't want to be the emperor, and when he becomes the emperor, these outward opening princes are courtiers, even if they don't want to, their successors will look forward to going further, and then it will be a situation of warring states competing for power.
Wang Yu defined himself as the overlord among the princes, if the ruler of the Central Plains is wrong in the future, he will not change the dynasty, it is just a change of overlord, the Son of Heaven still has no rights, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty placed on the shrine ensures the continuity of culture, because there is no concept of changing the dynasty.
As for saying that in the future, there may be careerists who usurp the authority of the Central Plains from their own children and grandchildren, Wang Yu is not worried, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, who will eat it?
After the Pingbei policy is successfully implemented and the world is reunified, Wang Yu will also send away all these famous generals around him, so that they can continue to shine and harm other civilizations.
This kind of pattern should be much better than just being an emperor, right? Wang Yu thought so.
Gongsun Du didn't make an evaluation, he was frightened by Wang Yu's whimsy and needed time to digest, he just had a better understanding of Wang Yu himself.
"Everyone in the world says that the hussar general is brave and courageous, but in fact, there are a few people who really understand that the amazing courage is just a corner of the mountain and a tree in the forest, and what really makes people have to admire is his broad mind."
That night, Gongsun Duru said to his confidant Liu Yi. And the next day, it was announced that the Liaodong Army would change its banner, and under the overall arrangement of the hussar generals, the whole army would march north, opening a new chapter in the Han Empire's conquest of the Northern Polar Region.
