Chapter 336: Tian Yu Sends Envoy
It can be said that the first division's direct ~ Huanglong operation this time completely broke the plan that the imperial court had originally planned to sow discord and win over and divide the Hu tribes of the grassland, but in this regard, Liu Hou was only happy and not dissatisfied.
Because this is a brilliant victory, this victory completely broke the pattern of power on the steppe, and as the news of this victory spreads, the direction of the wind on the steppe will inevitably change greatly.
The attitude of various tribes towards the Shu Han regime and the Shu Han army may undergo fundamental changes, and many tribes may have contempt and disdain for the Shu Han army, and they are also unruly and disrespectful to this Shu Han regime that came out of nowhere.
And after this battle, the other tribes have seen the strength of the Shu Han army, and they will pay enough attention to it in the future, and they will even feel afraid of this strong army, and they will definitely deal with it carefully when they encounter the Shu Han army.
For the Shu Han regime, they will definitely give enough respect, the grassland people have always respected the strong, although they have not been in contact with this regime before, do not know about this regime, but now this regime has proved their strength with practical actions.
This is enough to gain their respect, and the regime is also named after "Han", which reminds them of the history of the powerful Han Dynasty sweeping through the grasslands a long time ago.
Although that period of history has been sealed for a long time, there are so many Han Chinese that it is easy to rise again (in the concept of the Hu people, whether a regime is strong or not is directly related to the number of people, because they are all soldiers, and there are as many adult men as there are soldiers), and once their dynasty is strong again, it is not sure when it will come again.
If the Han people spared no effort to strike at the grassland peoples like the Han Wu, then their fate would be tragic, if you want to know how miserable it is, just look at the current Xiongnu, one of the very important reasons for the decline of the Xiongnu was the Han Dynasty.
If this new "Han" regime also implements the same ethnic policy as the Han Wu, then the fate of the Hu people such as Xianbei and Karasuma may be even worse, because they think that they are not as strong as the Xiongnu in their heyday, and they have no confidence to fight against the strong Han.
This change in thinking of the Hu people in the grassland will not only not be harmful to Tian Yu's plan to sow discord and win over division, but will be greatly beneficial. There is a saying that "no matter how clever the intrigue is, it will pale in the face of absolutely powerful forces." ”
On the contrary, it is necessary to implement some diplomatic strategies, and if there is a strong power of the motherland as a backing, it will be twice the result with half the effort. The United States in later generations is a good example, with more than a dozen aircraft carriers dangling across the oceans, satellites and space stations in the sky, thousands of nuclear bombs on the ground to deter them, and military bases on all continents in the world, basically they can hit whoever they want.
Therefore, people have always regarded themselves as the bosses, and they are called the world police, but they are actually world bullies, but they have that confidence, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the world is no longer invincible, and the United States has become the undisputed world's first power, both militarily and economically, so they have always been domineering in diplomacy.
The United States can scold whoever it wants, hit whoever it wants, and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries everywhere, and others can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, this is the benefit of having strong strength as the backing. If Shu Han also has such a strong military deterrent as the later rice country, it will naturally be able to be handy and comfortable in diplomacy with small neighboring countries.
From this point of view, the actions of the First Division not only did not destroy the imperial plan, but on the contrary greatly facilitated the progress of this plan. In the plan formulated by Liu Hou and several advisers, there is also a point, that is, to send troops to fight the Xianbei people first, and then carry out the strategy of winning over and dividing.
If you pretend to talk to them and talk to them directly, they may still think that you are afraid of them and want to ask them for peace, so they will lose the initiative, and even these poor Hu people who don't even have a few mouthfuls of iron pots will open their mouths and ask for benefits.
I don't know what barbaric chiefs I encounter, and I will detain Qin Cha and make a scene of Su Wu shepherding sheep. This is something that Liu Hou absolutely does not want to see.
But if they were scared first, and then talk to them, it would be much easier to talk, and at this time they all understood that the Han people were not here to ask for peace talks with themselves, but to give themselves a chance to survive, and if they didn't grasp this opportunity, they would be destroyed in minutes.
In this case, it will become that the Hu people are rushing to talk to the Han people, and the initiative will be in the hands of the imperial court, and it will be much easier to talk about what conditions to talk about at this time.
This principle is very simple, and everyone understands it, but it is very difficult to do it, because it is difficult to scare these slippery horses. They have four-legged horses, they run very fast, and when the situation is not good, they will run if they can't beat the enemy, and you can't do anything with them without cavalry.
Beating the Hu people and bringing them to the negotiating table can be said to be the first step in the plan, and it is also the most difficult step to implement. Now the First Division has unexpectedly solved this problem, which is not difficult to explain why Liu Hou will be happy and reward the First Division and Zhang Bao.
After rewarding the first division, Liu Hou asked Tian Yu to immediately enter the working state, and summoned him for two consecutive days to discuss with him the strategy of the grassland, and on the third day, Tian Yu hurriedly set off with the Qincha honor guard. The target of his expedition to the grassland this time was the Xianbei Suli Division.
The Xianbei people originally had three large power groups, the most powerful of which was the Kebi Neng Division, and the second largest was Budugen, but they had just been defeated by the First Division, and now their strength has become the bottom. The third major force is the Suli, Mika, Que Ji and other tribes.
This is a loose tribal alliance, with dozens of tribes, large and small, among which the three tribes of Suli, Micah and Que Ji are the most powerful, and the other tribes, large and small, are all based on these three tribes.
The three adults of Suli, Micah, and Que Ji can't ~ have a strong control over the entire alliance like Kebineng and Budugen, but when the alliance is bullied by other forces, they can generally unite and resist foreign enemies together.
Of course, this unity is also relative, and there are many contradictions between various tribes, among which mutual conquest and fighting also occur from time to time. Such a tribal alliance would be best to sow discord and divide the country.
Su Li is relatively pro-Han regime, once attached to the Wei State, Tian Yu and he have a very good relationship, Su Li is attached to the Wei State is also through Tian Yu's relationship, which is also one of the main reasons why Tian Yu chose Su Li as a breakthrough.
