Or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and rain is obscure Section 23 He Yan came all the way and was tired, after Li Hong received the order, let him rest for a night and talk about it tomorrow, but he resolutely refused, and he must discuss it overnight.

He Hao is now the Shangshu of Shangshutai, and this time he came by order, representing the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, so Li Hong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly summoned Xu Rong, Liyi, Li Wei, Zhu Mu and other senior commanders and staff members in the northern army to discuss the matter.

Li Hong had already given a detailed report to the imperial court about the history of the Great War in Northern Xinjiang and related losses, spoils of war and other matters, and He Hao wanted to ask about the garrison of Northern Xinjiang and the resettlement of the Xiongnu and Dongqiang people, and the northward migration of nearly one million people and Tuntian.

Although these issues were also discussed before the war, because Li Hong suddenly changed the time of the attack, such issues were not discussed in depth at the time, and the imperial court did not come up with a detailed specific strategy for quickly stabilizing the border counties after the war.

Therefore, He Hao now had to hastily consult with the generals of the Northern Army in order to quickly stabilize the border counties.

In addition, through the arrangements of Li Hong and other senior generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army on these matters, He Hao can also see the future movements of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and prepare for the separate discussion with Li Hong below.

Zhu Mu, who was engaged in Zhonglang, specifically introduced the idea of conquering the General Mansion of Peking University to He Hao. The four northern counties are now not only a matter of garrisoning, but also a matter of rebuilding the county government to appease the people, so the general government of Zhengbei intends to temporarily let the army be in charge of the military administration of the four counties before the officials sent by the imperial court arrive.

According to the preliminary arrangements of the General Mansion of the Northern Expedition, Captain Huaxiong temporarily led Shuofang County Taishou, Captain Zhang He temporarily led Wuyuan Taishou, Captain Gao Ran temporarily led Yunzhong Taishou, and Captain Sun Qin temporarily led Dingxiang County Taishou.

After this war, the Xiongnu and Dongqiang people suffered a great loss in the number and population of their armies. At present, the Xiongnu were conscripted to the General Mansion of Peking University and deliberately divided three settlements along the north and south of the Yellow River and the Great Wall, namely south of Yinshan in Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties, Meiji in Xihe County and Yuanyang south of the Great Wall.

In this way, their population is scattered, and even if they want to rebel in the future, they will not have the strength. As for the Dongqiang people, the Zhengbei General's Mansion planned to move all of them to the south of the Hetao and settle down, completely under the supervision of the Han army.

Nearly one million people and hundreds of thousands of people from Yanmen will move to Tuntian south of the Hetao, and some people from the north will move to Henan to live with the Xiongnu and make a living by grazing.

In order to ensure that the victims were in Tuntian, south of the Hetao, the General of Zhengbei planned to garrison 30,000 to 50,000 troops in Shuofang and Beidi counties.

Zhu Mu finally said: "This year, the city passes in the four counties of Biansai need to be repaired, the government needs to be rebuilt, and the people need to be resettled, which will cost about one billion dollars. The relocation of more than a million victims and the Hetao tuntian will cost about 7 billion dollars. According to our most conservative estimates, the number of garrisons in the five counties will require about 60,000 to 80,000 people, which will cost about 2 billion dollars. In other words, although the northern Xinjiang has been recovered by us, we still need at least 10 billion money to stabilize. Before He Hao left Luoyang, Yuan Kui and the ministers of Shangshutai had also made a calculation for the reconstruction of northern Xinjiang, so he was not the slightest surprised by the figure Zhu Mu said.

On the contrary, he said with a smile: "To the south of the Hetao, the number of people you have migrated is too large. Even if there is a small success in three years, I am afraid it is far more than 7 billion dollars. At this time, He Hao's mood was already very good, and he was completely relieved after he heard that the Zhengbei General's Mansion was going to relocate more than one million victims to Hetao Tuntian.

Li Hong has no intention of going south at all, and he has no ability to go south at all. He is now not only tied hand and foot by the tuntian of several million people in Bingzhou, but also firmly dragged by the garrison of the border fortress that stretches for thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang, and his army of more than 100,000 is trapped in the vast desert outside the state.

After listening to Zhu Mu's proclamation, He Hao said to him with a smile: "Lord Zhu, don't say anything about the expedition to the Peking University General's Mansion next time, you are now a Zhonglang in the Great Han State Che Cavalry General's Mansion." Zhu Mu smiled slightly, and said to Li Hong: "The lower official lost his words, lost his words." Li Hong shook his hand with a smile and said to He Hao: "What is Lord He's opinion on our countermeasures?" I hope that after you bring this recital back to the capital, you will be able to get the permission of the Son of Heaven, so if you have anything to say, please feel free to say it. He Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Then the lower official is not welcome." "The more he puts forward his opinions now, the more initiative he will have when he talks with Li Hong tomorrow, so He Hao said unceremoniously,

"The lord proposed to garrison in the five counties, and to Tuntian in Beidi County, which is from Liangzhou and belongs to Western Xinjiang. Even if you want to garrison, General Huangfu will send troops to garrison it, and if you want to Tuntian, it is also the Taishou of Beidi County who has the final say, so this idea of the lord is very inappropriate, and I am afraid that the ministers of the court will not agree. ”

"Secondly, the lord proposed that 10 billion yuan will be needed in northern Xinjiang this year, and this money will definitely not be available from the Dasi Nong Mansion at present." He Hao said slowly,

"Don't count on Wanjintang, the first emperor said that Wanjintang is for adults to fight wars, not for adults to stabilize northern Xinjiang. So whether it is the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, or the ministers of the court, no one will agree to your request. Li Hong, Xu Rong, Lu Yi and Li Wei looked at each other, their faces worried.

Ko Yi's expression gradually became a little angry, and there was a hint of murder in He Hao's eyes, and he said coldly: "Lord He, according to what you say, the millions of disaster victims in Northern Xinjiang are going to eat grass in the border to make a living?" In that case, why don't you leave these victims in Jiqing, Yanxu and other disaster-stricken prefectures and counties? Why did you deceive them and drive them to the state? Do you want to harm the northern frontier? Want to frame the armies of Northern Xinjiang? Do you want our soldiers to bury their bones in the desert and shed blood and die in vain? He Hao looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile: "The general seems to have forgotten what the purpose of the Northern Frontier War was?" The purpose of the Northern Xinjiang War was to recover the border counties, not to relocate millions of victims to the south of the Hetao after recovering the border counties. It is actually a very dangerous thing to go to Tuntian south of the Hetao, and even if the first emperor is alive, he may not be willing to agree. Now there are Xianbei people in the northern desert, once the northern Xinjiang is rich, the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people will fall down, and the war in my northern Xinjiang is raging, who of you can guarantee that the northern Xinjiang will not lose an inch of land? He Hao raised his head defiantly and said to Ko Yi,

"Is Koji-shogun guaranteed?"

"For hundreds of years, the scourge of the Huns has been eradicated by us, but what about the scourge of the Xianbei people in the past few decades? In the past few years, although the general of the Che Cavalry has led the generals to fight and win repeatedly, the strength of the Xianbei people still exists, and the territory of the Xianbei people is still there. Do we have the might of General Meng Tian and the 300,000 army of the Great Qin State? Do we have 600,000 border troops and inexhaustible wealth at the time of Emperor Wu? We don't. He Hao continued,

"The Che Cavalry General currently has only 140,000 troops, which also includes the 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Jinyang, and if the Huns and Karasuma Iron Cavalry are excluded, the General is currently less than 130,000 troops. With 130,000 troops stationed at the border fortress for more than 2,000 miles, do you think it is enough? Why can the Xianbei people occupy the four counties of Biansai? The reason why the Huns dared to rebel was because we only had tens of thousands of border troops in northern Xinjiang, and there was no threat to them. If the early emperor could realize this problem and invest billions of dollars to rebuild 200,000 border troops, why spend tens of billions of dollars now to attack the Hu people and recover the border counties? ”

"Secondly, the current situation of the Great Han Kingdom is well known to all of you that after six years of continuous study wars and several disasters, the treasury of the Great Han Kingdom has long been depleted. The reason why this year's battle was fought was because the first emperor used the money of Wanjintang. After the end of the Great War in Northern Xinjiang, the main energy of the imperial court was to quell rebellions everywhere, appease the people, and make every effort to restore stability to the country quickly, so ......"

"So the Son of Heaven and the imperial court don't care about the northern frontier, and let the victims of the northern frontier fend for themselves, right?" Koji asked with a little excitement.

"Northern Xinjiang has been recovered, and it is your business to restore stability as soon as possible." He Hao smiled calmly,

"I believe that the general has already made up his mind."

"What else do you have to do when you say that?" Koji Yi patted the case and said angrily,

"Just kill the millions of victims, and then everything will be fine in northern Xinjiang." Li Hong looked at Xu Rong and then at Li Wei, his face expressionless.

Xu Rong sighed softly, and a smile flashed across Li Wei's face. Tian Chou, who was sitting in a corner, suddenly asked, "Lord He, after the end of the Northern Xinjiang War, what does the imperial court mean?" When Lord He came to Northern Xinjiang, it is impossible that there are no arrangements for all things in Northern Xinjiang, right? He Hao glanced sideways at Tian Chou, looked at it a few times attentively, and then said: "The first emperor actually made arrangements for the affairs of the northern Xinjiang long before the Northern Xinjiang War, but some people disobeyed the yang and the yin and ignored the will of the first emperor, so that now the northern Xinjiang armies are in a dilemma. Everyone knew who He Hao was talking about, but He Hao then said another sentence, which made everyone's faces ugly.

He Hao was not referring to Dong Zhuo.

"The general of the chariot cavalry is in charge of the military affairs in northern Xinjiang, which is a matter known to the whole country." He Hao looked at Li Hong and smiled,

Before the Great War in Northern Xinjiang, the first emperor repeatedly instructed the general to give up all affairs except for the war, but the general seemed to be worried about the safety of the state, and did not obey the will of the first emperor, but insisted on leaving General Xian Yufu and General Zhang Yan in Jinyang. Can I say that the predicament of the Northern Xinjiang Army today is caused by the general? Li Hong smiled bitterly.

"Is it necessary for the General to keep the Yellow Turban Army in Jinyang again? Is it necessary to take care of the disaster victims and the tuntian? There is an essential difference between the military and political powers in Northern Xinjiang and the military and political powers. The military power is only in charge of conquest, and the military and political power is in charge of all affairs. In the early days, in order to appease the Yellow Turban Army and resettle the displaced people as soon as possible, the first emperor needed the military power of the adults to suppress it, but later the Yellow Turban Army had been appeased, and Tuntian was already on the right track. So, before the adults set out on the expedition, what reason did they have to leave the two generals Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan to sit in Jinyang? He Hao glanced around at the generals in the big tent, and said in a gentle tone: "Whether the general's actions are against the will of the first emperor, the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have no intention of pursuing it, but the difference between the military power and the military and political power, please understand it at the appropriate time and separate them, so as not to let the Son of Heaven and the imperial court misunderstand the adult." ”

"As for the imperial court's arrangements for all affairs in northern Xinjiang, they are all formulated on the basis of separating military power from military and political power, so it is very different from the general's decision." He Hao said,

"The meaning of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court is that the general immediately conscripts General Xian Yufu and General Zhang Yan out of the Sai, and all the military and political affairs of the state are handed over to the former general Dong Zhuo. Whether it is the disaster victims or Tuntian, they are all handed over to Lord Dong Zhuo. Then the armies of Northern Xinjiang immediately reorganized their troops and horses, and in accordance with the Northern Xinjiang war strategy set by the first emperor, they continued to lead their troops north to attack Xianbei in August. The big tent was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere was depressing.

In the middle of the night, the dim candle flame in the tent swayed gently in the damp breeze, and the heavy rain outside the tent was still pouring down, and the dense raindrops made a dull roar on the top of the tent.

Li Hong, Xu Rong, Lu Yi, Li Wei, Zhu Mu, Song Wen, and Tang Fang sat around the case, all with grim expressions.

He Hao's words were like a heavy hammer smashing into everyone's hearts, making everyone a little suffocated. For three years, this merger has become a noose.

The matter of merging states is getting more and more complicated, and this rope noose is getting tighter and tighter on the heads of the armies in northern Xinjiang, but the rope behind this noose is held in the hands of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

When to collect and when to release, it is completely up to the armies of the northern Xinjiang. Now Li Hong had no choice but to raise his sword and prepare to cut this rope.

"Zilie, what do you say?" Li Hong looked at Xu Rong and asked in a low voice. Xu Rong smiled faintly: "I have been fighting behind the adults since the beginning of the Western Frontier, and there is no doubt that the adults are loyal to the country. He paused for a moment and said,

"Do you know how many Yellow Turban soldiers were killed in the Battle of Yanmen Pass? What are they fighting for? Do you know how many Hu soldiers have been killed over the years? And what are they fighting for? As long as it is for the sake of the Great Han Kingdom, in order to fulfill the wishes of these fallen soldiers, do what the adults should do, I Xu Rong will follow the adults to the death, unswervingly. ”

"Where's Yuntian?"

"The knife is already on our necks, what else do you ask?" Koji Yi waved his hand and said,

"The Son of Heaven and the imperial court don't want Northern Xinjiang, we can't do without. This land is stained with the blood of our brethren, and we will not give up. ”

"What about Zhong Yuan?" Li Wei said with a smile: "I said earlier, if the adults insist on tolerating it, sooner or later the whole army will be annihilated, but the adults don't listen." ”

"What about the public decision?" Zhu Mu hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Today's court has reached the point of shocking and irretrievable, if you want to save the people from fire and water, you should think carefully about the meaning of the emperor's edict." The first emperor wanted the adults to revitalize the Han Kingdom, not to be in the northern part of the country, so please be cautious. ”

"Where's the long wind?" Song Wen sighed and said: "My lord has no way out, if you enter, you will die, and if you retreat, why not put it to death and live?" Let's talk about the future. Since ancient times, how many of the Ming ministers have been able to escape their fate? Li Hong laughed, pointed at Tang Fang and said: "Mu Yun, you are a former official of Bingzhou, you know the northern Xinjiang well, tell me, where will the northern Xinjiang go?" Tang Fang pondered for a long time and said, "Three years ago, what did the adults go to Northern Xinjiang for? As long as it is for the Han Kingdom, why should adults care about their reputation? Li Hong smiled: "Okay, since everyone is not willing to tie their hands, then let's give it a go." ”

"Order Yang Feng to lead the two battalions of Yan Wudaunt Iron Cavalry, together with the two battalions of Wen Chou Liang Baiwu's foot soldiers, immediately cross the Yellow River south, and hurry to the Great Wall fortress to meet Xian Yu Yin and Fan Fence Department, and the army will approach the east of the river."

"Order Yan Rou to lead the two battalions of iron cavalry of Yingtong and Li Su, together with the Karasuma iron cavalry at the foot of the building, and immediately rush to Daijun and Shanggu to garrison."

"Order Zhang Yan and tell him to send Peng Lie to immediately lead his troops into the Flying Fox Fortress."

"Order Zhao Yun to lead Jiang Wu and Liu Ming to lead the two battalions of iron cavalry, and Jade to lead the four battalions of the army to hurry south to Yanmen Pass."

"Zilie, you take the two battalions of Iron Cavalry of Storm Sand and Nie Xiao, together with the three battalions of Yang Zhen and Yang Chun, and immediately rush to Shuofang and Beidi to garrison. In Beidi County, you let Yang Chun and the storm sand go, and you stay in the Hetao of Shuofang, and make preparations for the resettlement of the victims and Tuntian. ”

"Yuntian, this matter of resisting Hu Kou's invasion will be handed over to you, here is Yang Ming's first battalion of iron cavalry, Yan Liang's four infantry battalions, and Liu Bao's Hun iron cavalry, do you see enough? If it's not enough, I'll leave the Black Panther Camp to you. Koji Yi smiled: "My lord, don't worry about going south, Tuoba Feng has already scared you, where do you dare to invade?" Take the black panther away from you, there are me and Yan Hutou, as well as Huaxiong Gaolan Zhang He and Sun Qin, the four Taishou, and they are worry-free. ”

"Order all battalions of the Chinese army to prepare to return to Jinyang." The next day, He Hao came to Li Hong's big tent early.

Li Hong ordered to retreat left and right, he was going to have a good talk with He Hao. He Hao and Li Hong casually chatted about the recent events in Luoyang, and then he said: "Recently, there have been rumors in Beijing that the adults have the edict of the first emperor in their hands, saying that the adults will go south to Beijing at the right time to support the little prince as the new emperor, I don't know if the adults heard this rumor......"

"Yes, the first emperor ordered his ministers to lead the army south immediately after the end of the Northern Xinjiang War, enter Luoyang at all costs, abolish the young lord, and appoint the little prince as the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom." Li Hong looked at He Hao, whose face gradually changed, and said softly,

"Moreover, I have ordered the army to go south." He Hao was extremely shocked. Jump to! ~！ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
