Chapter 244: Liu Cang Seeks Birds
The honest man is mad, and the officials in the court are quiet, not because everyone has never seen the world, but because the contrast that Cai Yong has brought to everyone is too great.
No matter how to embellish, Liu Cang's characterization of fanning the Qiang people's civil strife did not run.
It's hard to say whether this kind of characterization is good or bad for a while.
Some people feel relieved, some people feel bright, Di Qiang, Baima Qiang and even Fa Qiang have successively sent envoys to Luo to condemn, and some people are worried that the civil strife will lead to large-scale raiding and plundering of the Qiang people in winter.
Don't doubt it, it's quite different from the first thought in the mind of the Han people when they encounter suffering.
With a declining population, reduced livestock production, a cold winter, and even no need for natural disasters, Hu Qiang's first thought was to grab a vote to relieve his own pressure.
Burning will disturb Liangzhou, Baimaqiang likes to knock Yizhou, and Faqiang will scare Bhutan, Bangladesh, and even Tianzhu.
After grabbing and running, they often do not confront the armed forces in various places, and they are less aggressive than the Xiongnu in the early years, but they are also more annoying.
To say that Liu Cang's practice of fanning the slave uprising made Hu Qiang and even Xianbei very resistant, but the taboo of the Han upper class is not big.
Not to mention the imminent Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Rebellion, the uprisings of the Han people in all these names seem to be never new.
Military positions such as chariot generals and rebellious generals have a long history, and the so-called conquest and betrayal cannot be said to be a kind of conquest and suppression of uprisings.
Probably those nomads who blindly grabbed slaves, and were used to it, suddenly encountered this kind of thing and were a little uncomfortable, and it was too much of a fuss.
Cai Yong's reprimand for Wang Yun completely disrupted the rhythm of Wang Yun's speech, and even the originally scheduled accusation was said by Cai Yong in advance.
Wang Yun came to his senses and immediately blushed angrily, while He Jin glanced at Wang Yun in disappointment.
"Your Majesty, whether Liu Cang's matter is right or wrong can be discussed later, and now the top priority is Jincheng's matter. At the same time, Liu Cang can no longer be allowed to come to Qiangdi. If the Qiang tribes are united, it will be a catastrophe. ”
Above the court, seeing that Wang Yun's knife that stabbed Liu Cang was not easy to use, He Jin couldn't hold it back, and said to Liu Hongjin.
"Your Majesty, Han Sui, as a Han official, gathered a crowd to rebel, and should be severely punished. If you are worried about the defense of Jincheng, you can call back the king of Dongping and let him sit in Jincheng. After He Jin, Huangfu Song stood up.
"As far as the minister knows, the Qiang people on the border are afraid of the king of Dongping, and if he sits in Liangzhou, he will definitely be able to suppress foreign invasion." Huangfu said loudly.
"No!" Before Huangfu Song's words fell, Liu Hong frowned, and Zhang Rang took the lead.
To say that Liu Hong is really impressed by Liu Cang now, but because Liu Cang has made a great reputation in Huqiang, it is basically impossible for Liu Hong to put Liu Cang in Liangzhou.
Liu Hong did not doubt that Liu Cang might really be able to suppress Liangzhou, but Liu Cang was also a prince and king that he personally pulled, and Liu Hong didn't want to put a prince who could suppress Liangzhou into that chaotic place to make it bigger.
And Zhang Rang knew Liu Hong's thoughts, and similarly, Zhang Rang really didn't want Liu Cang to run to the ghost place in Liangzhou to gain a foothold.
"Your Majesty, Liu Cang is young and reckless after all, and he is the most jealous and impulsive on the guarding side. Just looking at what he did, it was difficult to take on a big responsibility. ”
"And there are countless heroes in Liangzhou, and there are Ma Tengqi people in this counterinsurgency. Fufeng Ma's prestige is famous, and it can't be compared to Liu Cang, who did a lot of tricks. ”
Zhang Rang bowed to Liu Hong's side and belittled Liu Cang for a while. Following Zhang Rang's eyes, Liu Hong saw Ma Riyan in the main hall, and there was a hint of a smile in his originally cautious expression.
Well, Ma Teng is related to Ma Riyan, and Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan.
Ma Yuan has an elder brother named Ma Yu, and Ma Yu has a son named Ma Yan, and Ma Yan gave birth to Ma Rong, and then Ma Rong is Ma Riyan's grandfather.
Therefore, some people in later generations said that Ma Rong was Ma Yuan's grandson, and there were some remarks that Ma Riyan was Ma Teng's father.
Although it is difficult to say that Ma Riyan did not give Ma Teng support, Zhang Rang mentioned Ma Teng at this time, not to please Ma Ripan.
On the contrary, there is even a hint of mockery.
Fufeng Ma has a high reputation in Xiliang, but which one is not sharpened his head and wants to leave Xiliang.
Duan Cheng, Zhang Huan, and Huangfu Gui are the three Mings of Liangzhou, you see which of them has set up their home in Liangzhou.
Even Huangfu Song, who guards the north, is not running around Luoyang when he sees the sky.
Zhang Rang is unhappy, why, why don't you stay in that ghost place in Liangzhou, but you want to let our people go over there?
Zhang Rang didn't want Liu Cang to go to Liangzhou, and Liu Hong was quite satisfied with Zhang Rang's attitude.
Well, in Liu Hong's opinion, Zhang Rang's attitude fully proves that Zhang Rang has no disagreement with him, right, if you want to be rich, you should follow me.
Liu Hong and Zhang Rang have their own thoughts.
In the face of Zhang Rang's insinuation sarcasm, Huangfu Song was also speechless for a while, looking at Cai Yong, Cai Yong also turned a blind eye to this, obviously he did not support Huang Fu Song's proposal.
Huangfu Song sighed, he didn't know that Liu Cang's identity was special, but he felt that it was a bit of a pity, now that he was old, not to mention the war, even the battle between the DPRK and China was a little powerless.
Liu Hong released an army of Ding Yuan in Bingzhou, and He Jin had a tendency to raise Dong Zhuo to place troops in Liangzhou, and political struggle was not in the scope of Huangfu Song's concern.
But he was born in Jiangmen, and in terms of military affairs, Huangfu Song deeply felt that both needed to be restricted.
Huangfu Song seemed to want to say something more, but Liu Hong's voice came out, which made him stop his words.
"Fan the Qiang people's civil strife, and the strategy of watching the fire from the other side, until the Qiang people's strength is greatly damaged, this is a merit, and Liu Cang's matter does not need to be talked about." Liu Hong opened his mouth to qualify, some people in the hall were pleased, and some people also frowned.
"This fan method is used correctly, and evil is evil, and I want to let the monarchs consult, can this method be used for Hu Xianbei?" Liu Hong asked the ministers.
Liu Hong may be relatively mediocre, but the Han Emperor still has no resistance to the war that can take advantage. As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, Zhu Jun stood up.
"Your Majesty, the king of Dongping will meet this time, don't say that the Hu people are inferior, I am afraid that this method is not suitable for even the mountains and Yues in the territory." Zhu Jun spoke, and everyone listened quietly.
"Now that the king of Dongping has taken advantage of the Qiang people, it can be regarded as a precedent for the uprising of nomadic slaves, whether it is a blessing or a curse, but it is also unpredictable."
"The nomadic treatment of slaves is already cruel, and this Qiang civil strife has made the foreigners vigilant, and they are likely to treat slaves more harshly in the future, and they also need to strengthen the border defenses, so that they do not take prisoners in the border counties more frequently." Zhu Jun said in detail, Liu Hong's face changed slightly.
The Han Dynasty in the feudal era may not be good, but if the Han Dynasty is not good, the surrounding Qiang and Hu people are undoubtedly more cruel and vicious.
"Is General Zhu saying that they will kill slaves frequently?" Liu Hong condensed.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to kill slaves, foreign people don't need so many slaves for life and rest, if there are no injuries or illnesses, they are more likely to serve as auxiliaries and slaves in wartime, just be more harsh on weekdays, and that's it.
。 ”
Zhu Jun wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Hong looked at Huangfu Song again, and saw that Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi both nodded in agreement, Liu Hong's heart couldn't help but feel cold.
"Notify the border counties in all places, be sure to take precautions at all times, and the General's Mansion and the Taiwei's Mansion should issue rewards and punishments, and if there is a Huqiang knock, appropriately increase the military merit rewards." Liu Hong said coldly.
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers praised, Liu Hong's face was slightly cold, Yang Biao's face was in agreement, and He Jin's mood was not too good.
What about the General's Mansion and the Taiwei's Mansion and the Shaofu? Raise the reward or something, and the young government is not a part?
"Your Majesty, now that the King of Dongping has the ability to deter Bian Qiang, if the court sends another elite army and unites with the King of Dongping inside and outside, if the burning of Dangqiang can be exterminated, it will definitely be able to ensure the stability of Liangzhou for several years." When the old ministers were speechless, among the young officials, Yuan Shao raised his voice.
"No." Many of the young officials in the hall had eagerness on their faces, and seeing that Liu Hong seemed to be moved, Yang Biao couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the King of Dongping makes the Qiang people fearful is only because he defends more and attacks less, and often counterattacks the Qiang attacks on flat terrain." Yang Biao explained.
"The terrain of the plateau is complex and the environment is harsh, if our army takes the initiative to attack, we only need to temporarily relocate, and we will definitely return in vain."
"Liu Cang alone can still shirk his involvement with the Qiang rebel army. If the DPRK and China send troops again, it is likely to cause a backlash from the Qiang people, not to mention, if the Qiang rebel army feels threatened, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
"Now that the Qiang people are in the midst of civil strife, it is wise to hear that the king of Dongping has avoided the war on the grounds of worshipping the fairy lake."
"The combat strength of the Qiang people cannot be compared with the soldiers of our dynasty, but what has always troubled my dynasty is the flow of the Qiang people, as well as the environment and terrain over there."
"We just need to sit and watch its consumption, and we must not rush for quick success."
Yang Biao explained, Liu Hong was disappointed, and many young and strong officials were unwilling.
"Well, what the captain said is good, there is news of Liu Cang, and he needs to be ordered to return to the army quickly." After a moment of contemplation, Liu Hong nodded, and then asked Liu Cang for news, Yang Biao and He Jin both shook their heads, while Liu Hong looked at Cai Yong.
"Earlier, Haoxuan had a letter to return home, but it was a letter from the spear falcon, and after the minister replied to the letter, no news came, and now the old man does not know the specific situation." Cai Yong said helplessly to Liu Hong.
"Hmph, Liu Cang is wandering around in the Qiang land, insulting the majesty of the Han family, it is difficult for the Qiang people to track down his whereabouts, and the border counties can't find out about him, because they don't know half of the military discipline and military regulations." He Jin snorted coldly.
Regarding He Jin's words, most people give white eyes, they can flow in the Qiang land, and they can also make it difficult for the Qiang people to track, this is already a great ability, military discipline and military regulations have Zhang Wen to take the blame, this insults the majesty of the Han family, Liu Hong feels that He Jin is provocative.
"What did Liu Cang's letter say?" Ignoring He Jin, Liu Hong asked Cai Yong.
"Uh.
。 Cai Yong hesitated.
"Back to Your Majesty, that kid only said that everything is fine, and there will be more.
。 ”
"What's more?" Liu Hong frowned.
"Besides, well, he said he was going to Xianhai Lake to see if he could catch Gu Wither." Cai Yong whispered, and Liu Hong was stunned.
"Giggle~" Zhao Zhong chuckled on the side.
"Your Majesty, it seems that what the general said is not bad, we, the king of Dongping, are a little lacking in military discipline." Zhao Zhong said with a smile, causing Zhang Rang to stare at him.
The courtiers were speechless, and Liu Hong was also a little grinding his teeth.
That bastard kid is really promising, and he has such a big movement and feelings, and he is really playing with birds!?
