Text Chapter 90 Three Strategies for Pingrong

"But there's a problem." He Zhiqing thought for a while before saying, "It's not that my Da Zhao has never defeated the Khitan. Once the Khitan strength is frustrated, it will flee far away from Mobei, once it licks the wound and comes back, the cycle is like a piece of kraft candy, what should this be? ”

"That's another question. It is not difficult to solve this problem, but it is not easy to say. It takes time. Zhao Ming stretched out his right hand, stretched out three fingers and began to say with his fingers open, "The invasion of the first culture." The Khitan people were still in a period of ignorance and blindness. Most people believe in shamanic sacrifices. We can vigorously import religion to the Khitan. In particular, the Yellow Sect, which is popular in Tibet, is the most suitable. A large number of laborers became monks and did not produce anything, and they also liked to burn valuable things and rice grains to worship the gods. This is a history can be found, before the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought vigorously, since Buddhism into Tibet into the Yellow Religion, Tubo has not threatened the Central Plains Dynasty. It can be borrowed. Just take care to prevent a unified leader from appearing on the steppe. ”

This method is unthinkable to the predecessors, cultural invasion? The ministers came across the term for the first time, but in terms of the effect of Tibet, the cost of this measure was very small, but the effect was very good. It's a never-before-seen line of thinking, but it makes perfect sense. The ministers looked at each other and nodded, smiling at the young man with strange bones and talking eloquently.

"Second, adopt a support system. Nurture the weak tribes and suppress the powerful ones. Then trade with the Khitan to provide an appropriate amount of grain and grass to ensure that the Khitan does not have to take risks because of natural disasters and plunder my Dazhao. and the calculation is clear, just enough for the Khitan to survive and unable to develop. At the same time, every year, warriors are drawn from the big tribes to fill the pit in Xiyan. Just be covert. As soon as it comes, it can break the long-term alliance between Xiyan and the Khitan. Second, it can weaken the overall strength of the Khitan. As for how to do it, it must be difficult for all the pillars here. ”

The ministers nodded again, and they had to say that this strategy was very poisonous, and it could be called a desperate plan. On the one hand, he gave the Khitan people hope not to despair, and on the other hand, he completely cut off the possibility of Khitan development and growth. It is important to develop a tribe of food, but it is not enough to have food. It's a pity that there is a weakness that pays a lot of food but has no gain, there are too many materials on the grassland, and there is really nothing that Da Zhao needs except for war horses, cattle and sheep. But there are also gains and losses. Zhao Ming didn't explain, because the thing he imagined hadn't been made yet, and once it succeeded, he could bind the Khitans or all the steppe nomads to the grassland, and ask me to work in Da Zhao for nothing.

"Third, in fact, it complements the second." Zhao Ming withdrew his last finger with a sinister expression, "Implement the flag distribution system." It's not my Da Zhao's sub-seal. Instead, each tribe was given a fixed pastoral area, and each flag could only graze in its own pastoral area. In this way, the traditional ties between the tribes are severed. Once a tribe grows, the tribe subordinate to one leader is again divided into several banners and divided into the sons of the tribal leader. Each flag is directly responsible to me Da Zhao. The number of flags is an alliance, and the highest commander is the head of the alliance, which is strictly controlled by Dazhao. They meet every three years to mediate disputes between flags. When the time comes, don't care if it's reasonable or not, my Da Zhao is just to help the disadvantaged tribes. In this way, there will be no powerful tribes in the steppe. The threat of the Khitan also went away. ”

"Lord Father's Grace Order!" He Zhiqing exclaimed, this law is too famous. directly cut off the possibility of internal consumption of the Han Dynasty, and made great contributions to the strong rise of the Han Dynasty and the defeat of the Xiongnu. It's just that the fate of the master father is a bit miserable. What is there not to do with the enemy. The master's father was punished by the clan, but who dared to punish Zhao Ming's clan! And this is more detailed and powerful than the Lord's Father's Grace Decree! Divide the pasture and divide the princes, that can only be more and less!

"It's a good three strategies, interlocking, pressing step by step. Weichen is the big Zhao He. He Zhiqing's face was full of joy and convincing. Although there are no examples before the second and third articles. However, if there is a reasonable basis and a similar historical reference, the possibility of success in implementation is quite high. The Khitan, which has been sucking blood on Da Zhao for hundreds of years, is now expected to be resolved in this dynasty, which is an opportunity to leave a name in history and be sung by all generations. Look at the ancestors who solved foreign races in history, who has not been in the world for a hundred years. Everyone here can leave a voice in history, isn't this the greatest glory of the military generals! That's it. His Royal Highness has made great contributions!

Seeing that everyone from the emperor to the ministers was happy to face, Zhao Ming had to pour cold water to extinguish this fanatical momentum: "Ministers, please note that all this needs to be built on one foundation, that is, to defeat the Khitan and beat it obediently. Otherwise, the so-called Pingrong Three Strategies are just an attic in the air, and the mirror is just a moon. "That's what I do, I look like I've been beaten with chicken blood.

"Not with Your Highness." Although he was refuted in person, He Zhiqing was not angry, and the voice of appreciation on his face was even stronger, "The Khitan is growing stronger this year, but my Da Zhao has been dragged down by Xiyan and Nantang and has not been able to free up his hand, and sooner or later the Khitan will be the party to blame." Today, the national policy of Tu Khitan was first decided, and there were six wonders offered by His Highnesses. It can be regarded as setting the direction of Da Zhao's foreign affairs. This is indeed a welcome thing. ”

Zhongshu Ling Wu Shu looked at Zhao Ming's somewhat incomprehensible expression, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't underestimate the direction of this national policy. It seems to be vague and substantial, but in fact it involves a lot. But as long as I'm in the right direction. I can't wait, but I have the confidence to adjust one by one to achieve this goal. And the most important thing is that Wei Chen and the others also saw it..."Wu Shu suddenly came to his senses, looked at the ministers and the emperor and smiled, and kept silent.

What do you see? Bastard, isn't it an appetizing to suddenly stop in the middle of speaking? Zhao Ming looked at everyone blankly, and even Huai En had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't understand it alone, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Everyone is awake and I'm drunk? This doesn't feel very good, there is a kind of frustration that my IQ has been suppressed, but looking at the expression of Lord Wu Shu who didn't say anything about it, he couldn't do anything.

Go to the ball! Forget it. But isn't it a bit of a joke to set the national policy of a country with his bare words? How did you get involved in such a big thing?

Looking at Zhao Ming's depressed expression, Emperor Zhao Hao, who was sitting on a high place, was really in a good mood, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Ming'er." Don't embarrass Lord Wu, you can't figure out who to blame. He Qing. ”

"Wechen is here." He Zhiqing came out of the ranks, bowed down to receive the order.

"I'll leave the acquisition of Mongolian horses to you. Since it is a strange soldier, the key to breaking the Khitan, I don't care about investment. With nine thousand horses as the base, one riding two horses, one spare. Keep an eye on the household and military departments to implement it quickly. In addition, all the needs for the formation of the new army are also left to the boss. ”

"Yes, Weichen is ordered!"

"Wu Qing."

"Wechen is here."

"The center of gravity of the court's foreign affairs is tilted to the northeast, and Wu Qing needs to take a lot of effort to sort out the strategy and implement it carefully."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers."

"Li Qing."

"Wechen is here."

"The matter of Khitan intelligence needs more attention, if there is anything unclear, you can ask Zhao Ming directly, and you don't need to tell me."

"Yes." Li Ji first received orders from the emperor, and then saluted Zhao Ming, saying, "I may have to trouble Your Highness in the future." ”

Zhao Mingyou began to be depressed, isn't this self-doing. What if Emperor Chrysostom is already open? I had to hurry back the salute: "Lord Li is serious, and he must say what he knows, and he is afraid that he will not be able to speak." ”

Seeing the emperor's frequent orders in the upper study, he carefully adjusted the direction that Da Zhao took over. looks like he wants to roll up his sleeves and do a hot job. Zhao Ming never had a chance to speak, and finally saw a loophole, and hurriedly stepped forward to resign: "It is important for my father and the ministers to discuss national affairs, and if there is nothing to do with the sons, the sons will retire first." ”

Zhao Ming, who bowed down to resign, waited for a long time and didn't see any reaction from his old man, so he couldn't help but feel strange, and secretly raised his head to look at it. I saw my father looking at him with a strange smile, and that expression was clearly full of malice in Zhao Ming's eyes.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Ming boldly looking up at himself, Emperor Zhao Hao withdrew his strange smile, and then said with a whole facial expression: "As for the candidates for the new army." Three thousand..."

Not good! There's a pit ahead! Pull up the alarm! I already knew that mentioning this number was too unlucky, and it was too easy to think of the Flying Kite Army that was about to become an army under his command, so he straightened up and shouted, "Don't look at me!" I don't do it! Love whoever you are! ”

"Well, I'm not a reluctant person." As if anticipating Zhao Ming's reaction, Zhao Hao was very satisfied with Zhao Ming's reaction, "It's okay if you don't do it, I'll leave it to Feng Wu." After the Duke of Qi, the soldiers and horses were skilled, young and promising, and it was the time to make contributions. ”

I'll go! You have a heart, old man, right? What is the difference between giving it to Xiao Wu and giving it to me? Can I just let Xiao Wu die? To put it bluntly, this new army entering the grassland is like a pawn crossing the river, there is no advance or retreat, everything must be won with their own lives! Xiao Wu and the Flying Kite Army? How could I bear to send them to this place of death!

Zhao Ming began to glare at his father, until his eyes began to ache and numb, and his father drank tea by himself as if he hadn't seen it, completely unaffected, comfortably waiting for Zhao Ming's answer.

Well, you're ruthless! We'll see! I haven't fought this old fox again! In desperation, Zhao Ming had no choice but to bow down and receive the order: "The son of the minister receives the order, and he is willing to bear the burden of the Take-off Kite Army." "At least I still have a little bit of certainty about bringing the Flying Kite Army back from the grassland.

"I didn't force you." The voice from the emperor sounded so harsh in Zhao Ming's ears. The old man who got cheap and sold well!

"Yes, it was voluntary. Nothing to do with my father. No matter how Zhao Ming's voice sounded, there was a feeling of gnashing his teeth.

"Okay, sure enough, it's my Zhao family's Qilin'er! Ming'er, but if there is a need, although I discussed with Mr. He, my father hopes that the Flying Kite Army can become an army as soon as possible, and I will personally give the flag to the Flying Kite Army! The emperor's voice was heard from above, and the earth was shaken.

Kirin'er? Who is impatient to do that four-like thing! Flag? What a great honor! But the matter was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, so Zhao Ming had no choice but to put away his depressed stomach and bow down to receive his life, and walked out of the study with a complaint.
