Chapter 460 Bottom Line
…
"Isn't it five days' bread in exchange for peace? What's so strange, why be so angry, the sin itself is ours, and why blame the people below? The judge's tone was very calm, and at the same time, he looked at Xu You with some doubts, not understanding why Xu You was so angry?
You must know that after Yuan Shao took the initiative to bear the responsibility in the past, he also took the responsibility that happened before.
In this case, there is no blame for what happened before.
Naturally, it also includes Bai Mayi's extortion of grain from Gongsun Zhan, and the fact that officials pay grain is expressly stipulated that they will not be held accountable.
Before thinking of a specific way to deal with Bai Ma Yi Cong Gongsun Zhan, the use of grain for peace was allowed, is there anything strange about this?
What's more, compared to the previous ten days' food, now only five days of food, the amount has been reduced by half, isn't it a good thing?
Even if it was necessary to transport the grain to Gongsun Zhan's camp, there would be some more losses on the way.
A little loss is better than nothing, and compared to the gap between them, doesn't it save a lot of food?
This kind of behavior should be praised, not the current mood.
It is precisely because of the understanding of the cause and effect that the trial is quite incomprehensible to Xu Yu's behavior.
"Zhengnan, in the past, Gongsun Chan personally came to ask for it, all kinds of coercion and temptation, they gave ten days of food in exchange for peace, I can understand." Xu You calmed down his mood, slapped his hands at the same time, and said in a clever voice, "But Gongsun Chan just goes to a city every once in a while to ask for Jizhou's grain, which is just a drop in the middle, so naturally it doesn't matter." ”
"Ziyuan, I do understand what happened before, but there is no problem with their behavior, after all, we haven't thought of a way to completely cure the problem, so how can we blame them?" The judge frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Yu puzzled.
The express stipulation that the past is not pursued also means that the past cannot be brought to the present.
While there are many troubles with one-size-fits-all, there are even more troubles with not cutting them.
Now that you've turned it over, don't turn it back again.
"There is really no problem with their behavior, if it is in a normal time period, with half of the food in exchange for peace, I may have to praise them, but at this time period, then I can only scold them angrily." Xu You pointed to a large pile of bamboo slips in front of him, and his words revealed anger.
"Ziyuan, you mean, it's not a city? But a lot of cities? The judge looked at Xu You's movements, as well as the number of bamboo slips in the pile, and after a little thought, he reacted.
"Now that the grain has been harvested, there is surplus grain everywhere, but for the Hu people outside the Saiwai, this is also a time period for the south to graze horses, and they also need to prepare food for the winter." Xu You did not directly answer the trial, but was talking about the northern part of Youzhou.
No matter how fierce Gongsun Zhan's butcher's knife is, there will always be some Hu people who choose to go south to plunder after the grain harvest season.
Although bumping into Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong is tantamount to looking for death, if you don't go south and stay on the grassland all the time, you will indeed not be attacked by Baima Yicong.
But in that case, how can you survive the winter?
Either starve to death in the winter, or choose to go south to gamble.
As long as you don't bump into the white horse, you can have a happy winter, and if you do, you will consider yourself unlucky.
Staying in the grassland for the winter is tantamount to death, and there is still a glimmer of life in the southward raids, and fools know how to choose.
So no matter how fierce the butcher's knife of the white horse is, the prestige will be greater.
In order to survive, the Hu people, who did not have enough food, could only choose to go south to fight for survival.
"But so what? We know very well that the Hu people outside the Saiwai could not be the opponents of Gongsun Zhan, and even most of the letters we sent were rejected by the Hu tribe. The judge looked at Xu You calmly, not understanding why Xu You was talking about this at this time.
There are indeed many Hu tribes on the grassland, and there are also many large tribes.
There are even tribes that can pull out tens of thousands of string controllers, but it is useless.
In the face of their invitations, the vast majority of the Hu tribes chose to refuse, and some even directly ridiculed.
Faced with the threat of the White Horse's righteous servants, none of the Hu tribes dared to agree to their conditions.
Even if the conditions they gave were so generous that most of the tribes hesitated, they all refused in the end.
"But there are always some tribes who can't survive because of lack of food, so they choose to go south, and that's the most important thing." Xu You directly took out the map, pointed to the terrain on the map, pointed to the vast border line of Youzhou with his finger, and said seriously, "The grassland defense line in Youzhou is too long, even with the defense of the Great Wall, there are too many loopholes, even with the speed of the White Horse Yicong, it is impossible to plug all the loopholes." ”
"But after all, it is some small tribes that can't survive, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Baima Yicong, unless we can integrate the entire grassland tribe, it can sweep the entire Youzhou, but that kind of situation, whether it is you or me, or the people behind us, it is not allowed." The judge shook his head and said with some emotion.
You can command the Hu people or command the Hu people, but the Hu people who unify the entire grassland will inevitably give birth to a new king of the grassland, posing a threat to the entire nation.
And this kind of bottom line, which can be called the country, is an existence that is absolutely not allowed to be touched.
What's more, their current situation has not reached the point where they don't need to follow the rules.
Born into a family, he knows the unspoken rules of these families very well, and knows what to do and what not to do.
"As long as there are Hu people going south, Gongsun Zan who receives the information will definitely go back, and naturally he will not continue to stay in the north of Jizhou at that time, and after he finishes cleaning up these Hu people, winter will come, and when the snow will be heavy, Baima Yicong can only stay where he is." Xu You compared the map with his hand, and even marked the distance and space of Baima Yicong's maneuver on it, and said in a confident tone.
After hearing this, the judge also reacted, was silent for a while, and said calmly, "In other words, even if they don't give Gongsun Chan food, Gongsun Chan won't have a chance to threaten them this year." ”
"That's right, I was going to issue an order in advance to inform them that from now on, I refused to pay grain to Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan sent someone to directly notify the officials of each city, and with this seemingly half-rate discount on grain, most of the city officials paid grain." Xu You casually picked up the bamboo slip on the side and unfolded it directly.
The content of this bamboo slip is no different from the one handed over to the review before.
