Xu You's idea is actually not wrong, since Xun Yu repositioned, Cao Cao's camp should have focused on the south, abandoning the north for Yuan Xi to fight those people.

Xiliang is not so easy to pacify, especially when it involves Qianghu, which is a headache for the imperial court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was a little unwilling, and he was not sure about the conquest of Yangzhou, and now it is not just a matter of Sun Quan to fight Yangzhou, but Jingzhou to join forces with him.

After hesitating for a while, Cao Cao sighed: "Zhou Gongjin is not easy to fight, this person is not weaker than Gongda and Fengxiao, if Jia Wenhe is still there, the chances of winning will be a lot." ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Don't disturb the lord, with Zhou Gongjin's matter, you have to ask yourself, Yu dares to assert that he will not be alive soon, and then there will be anyone in Jiangdong who can compete with the lord." ”

I have to say that Cheng Yu's eyes are indeed like torches, Zhou Yu is indeed tired to death, and everyone in later generations said that Zhuge Liang was tired to death, which is true, but it was Zhou Yu who died of exhaustion earlier than Zhuge Liang.

What three qi Zhou Yu does not exist, the official history evaluates his magnificence and is really a genius! How can such a person be angry with a small belly and chicken intestines.

In real history, Zhou Yu was tired to death, and he had to worry about all military operations in Jiangdong.

The powerful Cao Cao Group has always been eyeing Jiangdong, and Liu Bei's group is not worrying, destroying the strategic goals designed by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu proposed to annex Yizhou earlier than Zhuge Liang, and was already ready to implement it, but Zhou Yu died of illness, and the matter was put on hold, so Liu Bei was given the opportunity to take Yizhou.

At the age of 21, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to lay the foundation of Jiangdong, and he died at the age of 36, and before he died, he repelled Cao Ren and kept Nanjun, the passage to Yizhou, but after his death, Nanjun was lent to Liu Bei.

Sun Quan and Lu Su's decision did consolidate the foundation of the Sun-Liu alliance, but it made Jiangdong lose the opportunity to dominate the world, and could only trap Jiangdong and achieve nothing.

In fact, in China's 5,000-year ancient history, the war of unification that began in the north was the easiest to succeed, while the war of unification in the south and north was only succeeded by Xiang Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang, the overlords of Chu.

In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, firearms were sharp, and the role of geographical advantage was much smaller, as for Xiang Yu, there was only one in thousands of years, and it was difficult to appear a second one.

Chu and Han fought for Xiang Yu and lost, it doesn't mean that he is incompetent, Xiang Yu's achievements in his life can shame all the famous generals in the world, and his defeat is because he doesn't know the power and strategy, not because his military talent is not as good as Han Xin.

50,000 defeated the 400,000 Qin army, and 30,000 defeated the 670,000 Liu Bang army, a feat that no one can achieve.

"Zhongde is sure that Zhou Gongjin will not live long?"

Cao Cao asked very seriously, and Cheng Yu replied solemnly: "Yu dares to use the head of the item to vouch!" ”

"Good! In this case, then give Northland County to Yuan Xianyi. ”

"No, the lord, it is the hometown of Beidi County, and now the county government has to take back Zuo Fengyi."

Cheng Yu immediately picked up the next sentence, Cao Cao was stunned, laughed loudly, and pointed at Cheng Yu in a good voice, the two smiling faces of the monarch and the minister were opposite, indescribably insidious and happy.

When the holy decree arrived in Yanjing City, Yuan Xi summoned everyone after receiving the decree and said with a wry smile: "This bait is fat enough, and it is a pity to abandon it knowing that it is poisonous!" ”

Jia Xu took the holy decree and looked at it, threw it on the case casually and said: "It's just a knife to kill people, the lord can ignore it, or he can take it down, but it depends on what kind of means the lord uses." ”

Yuan Xi looked at him and said with a smile: "If you send troops, you will naturally use the means of Captain Duan, Qiang Hu is afraid of power and does not know Huai'en, if you don't kill people's heads, how can you get back the lost ground and deter them." ”

Jia Xu stroked his palms and laughed, but the others looked at Yuan Xi with shocked expressions, this was the first time that his lord showed his bloody side, which was completely different from the previous benevolence and gentleness.

Cui Yan frowned even more, and retorted: "The Qiang chaos has been going on for a long time, if you blindly want to kill, you can only deter for a while, and the disaster will be even greater in the future." ”

Yuan Xi looked back at him, his eyes flashed with a fierce gaze and said: "Then it will be killed, how can the Great Han Dynasty get to this situation if there is no Qiang chaos, Qiang Hu has long surrendered and moved into the Central Plains, but he has always been capricious, what is the use of such a person." ”

Everyone gasped, this bloody order was related to millions of lives, not tens of thousands.

The so-called Qiang Hu refers to the general name of the northwest ethnic groups of the Han Dynasty, not necessarily all of them, the real Qiang is actually of the same origin as the Han people, and even the ancestral totem is the same.

It is said that Dayu is the leader of the Qiang tribe, so the Qiang people and the Han people are actually one.

However, in the subsequent history, some tribes that did not obey the great unification migrated to the northwest, and after merging various small tribes, various new Qiang tribes were formed.

It's just that this Qiang tribe is no different from the authentic Qiang tribe, without the nourishment of civilization, these tribes are actually no different from savages.

And there is no common ethnic group, and the names are even more varied, but they still retain a Qiang character to name their own ethnic group, not the entire population.

What Baima Qiang, Xian Lingqiang, and Burning Dangqiang are all kinds, and they are constantly fighting each other, and they don't regard each other as their own people at all.

By the rise of Great Qin, King Yiqu, the most powerful Qianghu, was wiped out by Great Qin, and the Northwest Qianghu basically submitted to the Central Plains Dynasty.

The hometown of King Yiqu was incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains, and Beidi County was established, which was located in Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi in later generations.

The Han Dynasty inherited the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and the same was true for Beidi County, but since Wang Mang's rebellion, Beidi County has become an independent existence, and it was only recovered after Guangwu Zhongxing.

But with Liu Xiu's death, Qianghu began to be dishonest again, and after merging with the Huns, Qianghu was even more aggressive and rebelled from time to time.

In the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rebellion of Qianghu alone was more than 100 years, and except for the border order of the Empress Dowager Deng, all the others were inexplicable reasons.

There is even a matter of rebellion by his clan because of murder and fear of being investigated by the government, which is a completely lawless mob.

For this reason, Beidi County moved inward three times, giving up the county seats of Gansu and Ningxia.

In the era of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Duan Cheng suppressed the Qiang Rebellion and used bloody means to slaughter 200,000 Qiang Hu before Beidi County could recover.

But without waiting for the imperial court to send officials to restore the governance of the county, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled.

The Han Dynasty no longer had the ability to govern Beidi County, and only two county towns in Shaanxi remained, and the rest were all occupied by Qianghu, but nominally they did not dare to rebel again, and were frightened by Duan Cheng's bloody methods.

In fact, the Qianghu of this era still rebelled, but they no longer dared to be blatant, but elected a Han as the leader.

For example, the rebellion led by Lingqiang with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as the leaders, the subsequent Bian Zhang rebellion after being suppressed, and then the rebellion led by the kingdom, and finally Han Sui.

It can be said that they were only afraid of killing, and did not care about benevolence, righteousness, morality and morality at all, and it was not until they were conquered by the Northern Wei Dynasty that they accepted Confucian education and truly integrated into Chinese civilization.
