In the face of Gao Sihao, who lost his soul, Gao Wei didn't feel much, originally this step in his plan would take a while to be realized, Gao Sihao has been operating in Shuozhou for many years, and his power is far more than that of ordinary vassal kings, not just kill if he wants to.

Murong Sanzang traveled under the stars and nights, "raided" Shuozhou, directly took over the Shuozhou army, and after counting the soldiers, horses and ordnance, he immediately sent a letter to Gao Wei. Thinking of the content of Murong Sanzang's performance, Gao Wei was furious, Shuozhou, the bitter cold on the side, the barren land, Gao Sihao This dog thing actually raised an army of 50,000 without him, but there are only more than 14,000 soldiers and horses registered in Shuozhou, so, where did the extra 40,000 people come from? !

Cushman & Wakefield ordered people to determine the household registration of the world, and secretly checked the military households, and the registered military households in the six towns of Jinyang alone let the household department find out the shortage of more than 60,000 people, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people, hanging there to eat empty salaries.

Almost all the generals are playing this game with Gao Wei, after all, the law does not blame the public, and Gao Wei cannot let them all go to prison.

Since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the mercenary system has been implemented. The emperor pays money, and those nobles of the six towns at the bottom take their younger brothers to fight for the emperor, and give money according to the head and meritorious service, naturally the more places are hung, the more they get, and they are familiar with fabricating rosters.

Since Gao Wei came to power, the authority has become more and more prosperous, and he has long suppressed the Xunmen who dare to disagree with him, and in the case that the emperor does not touch their lifeblood, Gao Wei said one and they dare not say two. It can be said without modesty that now Gao Wei's control over the country from top to bottom is even more than Gao Huan and Gao Yang, and whoever dares to openly speak against him will die!

On the one hand, Cushman & Wakefield has increased the salary of the honors, but gradually hollowed them out in the power field, making them truly become a "noble" honorable family; On the other hand, Cushman & Wakefield vigorously promoted the government military system and vigorously supported a group of rising stars in the army.

They are willing to fight for Cushman & Wakefield, and Cushman & Wakefield's military salary is still paid, and the salary is the same. If they are not willing to fight Cushman & Wakefield, there is no shortage of them. They are unwilling to fight, and some people are willing to carry their heads to work for Cushman & Wakefield! If there is no war, what influence can this Xunmen have in the court? Cushman & Wakefield abolished the old custom of "Han people do not join the army", expanded the army, and promoted a series of new military powers, which undoubtedly put great pressure on them.

This is also tacitly approved by Cushman & Wakefield, and the coexistence of the two military systems in the Northern Qi Dynasty today is also implemented by Cushman & Wakefield. Under the pressure of another military system, in order to maintain the position of power, Xunmen actively fought and actively participated in the ranks of competing for military merits, Gao Changgong went south to the battle of Xiangyang, mobilized the army of 60,000 or 70,000, and drained 70% of the main force in Hedong, not to mention, 30,000 or 40,000 of which were spontaneously proposed to Gao Wei by the generals of the six towns.

Compared with the lifeless military mobilization in the past, Cushman is happy to see it. As long as it can still play a role, Cushman & Wakefield doesn't want to kill everything and make things too ugly. Politics is about giving face to each other.

After all, although the Six Towns and Xianbei nobles have been declining over the years, the hidden strength is still very large, and Gao Wei still has to be cautious about them, if one is not good, the chaos of the "uprising" in the Six Towns in the past will not be repeated again, and Gao Wei does not want to be recorded as a dumb king in the history books.

After a series of changes, Gao Wei thought that he had reached unprecedented control over the whole country, but the reality gave him a slap in the face.

The number of Gao Sihao's hidden troops exceeded Gao Wei's prediction, and Gao Wei didn't know the details before.

Even the determination of the household registration was manipulated and deceived in the past, and no one helped him to make trouble? - Who believes!?

In northern Xinjiang, the six towns are densely populated, if it weren't for some of them to help Gao Sihao, who would have such the ability to reach the sky with their hands and eyes? Gao Si is good at raising so many people, where does he have the supply, where does the capital come from?

After dusk, the army was still marching, and there were still ten miles to go to Yanzhou.

The sentry cavalry came to report, and the civil and military officials below the Shizhou Assassin were waiting five miles outside the city to greet the holy driver.

Gao Wei looked at the mountains stretching in the distance, the gradually opening wasteland, and under the dim skylight, the army was like a silent crawling dragon. After a while, he sneered: "...... After pretending to be a dead tiger for so long, I almost took you for a sick cat. ”

"......" Gao Wei was really a little depressed this time, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly his eyelids moved, thinking: "...... It seems that the war does have to be resolved quickly, and if it drags on for a long time, the devil knows what will happen, and there are more important things to do! That Ashina defilement...... It's just a waste, if he wants it at that time, he will give it to him, and it can be regarded as the 'sincerity......' of our peace talks."

War is just a form of settling political disputes and conflicts of interest between countries, and in the same way, it can temporarily transfer domestic contradictions, and Cushman & Wakefield is now going to use this war to annex the various forces. Cushman & Wakefield has righteousness in hand, and can calmly intervene to speed up the southward migration and sinicization process of various ministries.

The period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was the peak period of ethnic integration, mainly the Huization of the Han people, or the sinicization of the Hu people. The sinicization of the Hu people is absolutely beneficial to the stability of the country, and the national contradictions have been eliminated invisibly, but the implementation of sinicization is not so simple. If you want to integrate the Hu and Han, you must disrupt them, disperse them, make all ethnic groups live together first, and slowly accept Han culture, and only when the cultural run-in between the ethnic groups is almost the same, and the ethnic estrangement gradually disappears, can it be considered a success. The key is that the ruler must be even-handed in terms of policy, otherwise there will be constant contradictions and disputes.

The problem of the Northern Dynasty was that the status of the Xianbei people was higher than that of the Han people, and the Xianbei people fought wars and the Han people produced, showing a relationship between exploitation and exploitation, which was not conducive to the development of the dynasty. There are too many Xianbei people in Northern Qi, with a population of more than 20 million, and more than one-third of the Xianbei people.

Cushman & Wakefield inherited the country, the ass decided the head, he could not overthrow it from the bottom up, but change it from the top down, which doomed Cushman to not adopt an excessive policy, so he could only boil the frog in warm water.

In this big game of chess, not a single step can be wrong! What pushed him to fight this war was not the raids of the Turks, but the hundreds of thousands of people of all ethnic groups in Beizhen, using the war to strengthen the dependence of the ministries on the center of the imperial court, and let the imperial court rightfully take over the management of the ministries, this is what Gao Wei really wants! Therefore, this war cannot be fought for a long time, at most at the end of the year, it must end!

The city walls of Xianzhou are already in sight, and the emperor is in the middle of the imperial car, and he can't take care of rest, and thinks about some things coming and going. Suddenly, a team of sentry riders stopped in front of the royal car, and the guards made a vigilant posture, and the person on the horse, dressed in green clothes, knelt down in front of the royal chariot and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Chang'an!" ”

Gao Wei opened the curtain, stared at him with dark eyes, and handed the silk book in his hand to the emperor. The silk book was faintly stained with blood, Gao Wei opened a corner, glanced at it and put it down, and asked, "She was caught?" ”

"No, I'm seriously injured and I'm evading arrest," the man said in a cold sweat on his forehead: "It happened suddenly, fortunately, she had already arranged the big stall, otherwise...... The consequences are unpredictable! ”

"If you play the same trick too much, you can't hide it from others.

"She has been stirring up the wind and rain behind her back in Chang'an for so long, and sooner or later she will be noticed......"

He was silent for a moment and said, "Let her come back immediately." ”

The man below raised his head in surprise and said, "The big stall head said that His Majesty still has an order for us to complete ......"

"Is she so concerned?" The emperor's tone was inexplicable, and he said: "She hasn't done it for me for so long, and now that most of the staff has been cut off, what else can she do?" ”

He lowered the curtain, "I have changed my mind, I now think that it is better for Yang Jian to stay in Zhou Kingdom." ”

"Yes, we will immediately order someone to take her out......"

"No need, I'm in Chang'an, and there is another group of people," Gao Wei glanced at Gao Shun, who had no sense of existence on the side, "The lurking is not suitable for you, then come back, I just happen to lack people in my hands." ”

He looked at Gao Shun: "You know what to do."

Gao Shun said humbly: "The slave and maid know, and the slave and maid promise to bring back Miss Yuan completely, and not even a single hair will fall out." As far as the slave maid knows, she is now hiding in the traitor Sima Elimination Mansion, and it is easy to find her. ”

"Zhou Guo suddenly moved, unusual, I want to know what will happen next for Zhou Guo."

"The slave understands ......"

Cushman said "um", waved his hand, and ordered him to go down. The Tsing Yi Tanma also retreated, and cold sweat was dripping behind his back.

The big stall head is hidden in Sima Xuan's mansion, and only their own people know about it, how did this eunuch know?

...... His Majesty arranged for these people else?

He suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard about the stall head before, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
