Listening to Xun Yu's words, Liu Jian laughed.

"Those who know me, Wen Ruoye, Liu naturally has a grand plan!"

Xun Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others did not show surprise on their expressions.

They have followed Liu Jian until now, and naturally know that Liu Jian is not an ordinary person, and Liu Jian has done something that his predecessors have not done.

Although their current thinking is a bit taboo...... But in their hearts, Liu Jian's current achievements are actually not lost to Emperor Gao and Emperor Wu.

But I heard Liu Jian say slowly:

"Fuyu, in the north of Xuansu thousands of miles, south and Goguryeo, east and Lulou, west and Xianbei, there is weak water in the north, Buyeo country is mainly agricultural, animal husbandry is developed, handicraft industry is also better, its country is 2,000 miles, 80,000 households, and a small country with a wide land."

"Rulou, the country of ancient Su Shen, in the northeast of Fuyu more than 1,000 miles, the east side of the sea, there are five grains, linen, out of the red jade, good mink, no king, its towns have adults, between the mountains and forests, the soil is extremely cold, often for the cave dwelling, to the depth of the precious, good to raise pigs, eat their meat, clothes their skin. In winter, the body is coated with pig ointment, which is several minutes thick, to protect against wind and cold. ”

"Goguryeo, also a small country in the northeast is also ......"

Xun Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others all heard it, and Liu Jian's next target to the outside world seemed to be these small countries.

Zhang Fei asked, "Brother wants to conquer these northeastern countries and then bring them under the rule of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, these northeastern lands will belong to my Han tide sooner or later, but in the current situation, we can't make war against them...... These countries are too small, have small populations, and are relatively poor...... Some countries aren't even countries, but they're all savages! Although Hebei is rich, it is not so rich that it can be directly managed anywhere, and the amount of money and grain invested in this way is too much, which will affect the development of Hebei itself. ”

"The reason why I asked Yunchang to take Hanzhou is because Hanzhou has a warm climate compared to these countries, and Hanzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has an outlet to the sea, which is an important foothold for the development of shipping. Therefore, Samhan must be destroyed! and take the land...... But just supporting one Hanzhou has exhausted Hebei's full strength. ”

"However, for the northeastern countries, although we will not annex them for the time being, we cannot abandon them, although we do not annex their land now, it does not mean that we will not in the future, so we must take precautions and deal with them ruthlessly."

Xun Yu heard what he said, thoughtful.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, squinted his eyes, and was also thinking carefully.

Zhang Fei is not the same as he was back then, and he plans first and then moves when he does anything.

He also patted the table lightly with his hand and began to think about it.

After a long time, I saw Zhang Fei suddenly be the first to speak:

"Over the years, my brother has been in Hebei and Hanzhou Daxing ports in order to promote domestic commerce and trade, so that domestic commercial goods can quickly circulate to the north."

"Originally, our things from the interior of Hebei were transported to Liaodong or to the border of Youzhou...... Trade with Xianbei is by land, the cost is extremely high, now there is a sea route, whether it is Jizhou, or Qingzhou and the hinterland of the Central Plains to transport the goods to the Liaodong Zhudi, or from Liaodong or from the Xianbei tribes to the inland transport, the cost is much lower than before, and the port will also help my Central Plains inland books, culture and other things to be transported to Hanzhou, speed up the flow of trade between Hanzhou and the mainland, so that the culture of the Han Dynasty can be popularized in Hanzhou faster, so that the people of Hanzhou can accelerate the integration of our Han nation! ”

Liu Jian nodded and continued to look at Zhang Fei expectantly.

Guan Yu also seemed to be quite surprised.

Zhang Fei would never have thought of these more esoteric things back then, and it seems that he has made great progress by Liu Jian's side over the years.

Xun Yu was also full of smiles, nodding vigorously beside him.

He looked at Zhang Fei encouragingly, expecting him to say more valuable things.

Zhang Fei continued: "I have figured it out, my brother set up ports in Hebei, Hanzhou, and Liaodong, in addition to reducing the cost of trade and transportation within our Han Dynasty, but also wanted to communicate with the ethnic groups of the Northeast and speed up the supply of our Han Dynasty's inland trade and culture to them. ”

"For these small countries, we will not use troops against them for the time being...... Sometimes, however, the use of trade culture to restrain them may be more effective than the use of soldiers. ”

"Now that our Han Dynasty has a civil war, although Hebei is rich, it cannot support us to annex the northeastern countries, and it may not even be enough to completely pacify them with one army."

"After all, although the Northeast countries are nominally states, many of them still live in the Northeast as tribes, hiding in the mountains and forests, trying to find them and conquer them one by one...... It's so hard and expensive. ”

"The matter of the Qiang people in the northwest is a lesson for our Han Dynasty."

"Just blindly suppressing by force and military suppression will only make my big man fall into a quagmire, and in the end it is not to give up, and it is not to give up."

"Therefore, the effect of commercial means is stronger than that of conquest by force."

Liu Jian laughed.

"It's really my great luck that Yide can think of this."

Guan Yu and Xun Yu also nodded vigorously, although they didn't say anything, their expressions had confirmed their admiration for Zhang Fei in their hearts at the moment.

It's really the first time in three days, and it's really impressive.

Where is Zhang Fei just a simple fierce general? This clearly shows that we are going to go on the road of both civil and military affairs.

If you don't get it right, it will be more than enough to be a third prince in the future.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Jian: "What Yide said, but is it exactly what my brother thinks?" ”

Liu Jian nodded: "Yes, this trick is actually my current means to deal with Xianbei, as for whether it will be effective against the Northeast States, I was not sure in my heart, but judging from Xianbei's performance, this trick will definitely be useful." ”

"Moreover, the northeastern countries of Buyeo, Louyi, and Goguryeo are not the same as Xianbei, and they are more easily infiltrated by our Han Dynasty."

"After all, Xianbei is a nomadic people, and they don't stay in a fixed place all year round, but the Northeast tribes are different, they have their own territory, although their political methods and economic science and technology are very backward, but as long as they have a fixed territory, it is very easy to import culture."

"The best thing is that they don't have their own culture and beliefs now, and the way of Confucius and Mencius in my Han Dynasty, the Four Books and Five Classics, the divine right of the king, and the four seas return to the heart...... These things are very suitable to share with them, maybe after a long time, we don't need to send troops to subdue them, they themselves will run to join the Han. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jian looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, did you say what I said right?" ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "There is also the graphite of our Han Dynasty, as well as the earthen kang house designed by my brother, which is also the best winter cold for the Northeast countries." ”

"The level of technology in these countries is really backward...... Not to mention letting them explore and mine graphite, that is, processing graphite, they are afraid that they will not be able to do it well for the time being. ”

"We should step up our efforts to teach them the techniques of growing grains and raising livestock, and improve their agricultural skills, but smelting fine iron tools, mining graphite, processing graphite, and making high-quality ordnance...... These high-level technologies are to blockade them, so that we can exchange large quantities of their food and livestock with the superior tools that are sufficient to control their lives......"

"Yide, how did you learn so badly now?" Liu Jian sighed helplessly.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was stunned.

"I, am I bad now?"

Guan Yu and Xun Yu were silent.

Obviously, they agreed with Liu Jian's words.

Zhang Fei's face flushed: "That's also from my brother!" ”

Liu Jian laughed.

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Brother, at the moment, there is no need to mention the affairs of the Northeast countries on the agenda very quickly, and the main study is how to send troops to Xuzhou." ”

"There is no other way than to take the sea route, which can have the effect of a surprise attack."

Liu Jian said lightly: "Yun Chang, this time I will go with you, and I will use the four thousand elite soldiers under your command, let's go to Xuzhou together and catch Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others by surprise." ”

Guan Yu gave up his hand.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I'll go too!" ”

Liu Jian shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Yide, you are in Hebei......

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The two elder brothers and Brother Xuande have gone to Xuzhou, what is the matter if I stay here, no, no, I must follow, I don't bring my subordinates, I will follow my brother alone, and be a guard for my brother." ”

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.

"Okay......"

Guan Yu asked, "Brother, can there be a boundary in the East China Sea for our ships to dock?" ”

Liu Jian nodded and said: "Mi Fang of the Mi clan in the East China Sea has already found a place for us, and he will send someone to send Pitu to tell us the specific stopping location. ”

Guan Yu nodded when he heard this: "In this case, Guan Mou is not worried about the side, just waiting to have a big fight with Cao Jun and Sun Jian in Xuzhou." ”

"I heard that these two people have also made a name for themselves in the south over the years."

"Guan Mou has been in the north all the year round, but he doesn't know what the level of the southern generals is? This time, I just took the opportunity of this battle of Xuzhou to take advantage of the lessons and learn well. ”
