"Why are you here?" Zhou Shaoyu looked at the beautiful shadow in front of him and couldn't help but be surprised.

Ainul shook his long hair and spat out two words tiredly: "Boring." ”

“！！！” Zhou Shaoyu was speechless, in other words, the local natives don't have this word, in other words, they also learned from us?

Glancing at Zhou Shaoyu, Ainul let out a long sigh.

To be honest, Ainur's life has not been easy. Even with the help of Zhou Shaoyu, she has a foothold for the time being, and when the current conditions in Taiyuan are not good, there has never been a shortage of support for her, and at the same time, the market has promoted further development.

However, after all, they are all shepherds, and the cattle and sheep in their hands are not enough for them to graze, and most of them have to carry hoes and farm.

As for leading troops into the steppe to harass other tribes, people are not stupid, the Turkic population has been greatly reduced, and the steppe is so big, there are places where grazing, after being attacked and disturbed a few times, who will be okay to get close here, and if it is too deep, Ainul will not dare to do that. As a result, everything went on order, and Ainul himself had little to do.

Zhou Shaoyu smiled after listening to the explanation, he would not tell Ainur his specific thoughts.

In the history of China, since three generations later, the most righteous people in the country are only Han and Ming.

The former is a husband and has no suspicion of authority; The latter eliminates violence for the people, and has no intention of foreseeing the artifact.

Looking at other dynasties, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was a rebellious minister, he was originally a courtier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then replaced him and finally unified the world to calm the chaos. The same was true of the Tang Dynasty.

But in that era, this kind of thing was normal, and it was all done by those family valves.

The Song Dynasty didn't have to say that Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was a minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty. As for the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, well, there is no need to explain, there was no national integration at that time.

However, in Zhou Shaoyu's view, compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is even more serious in terms of the righteousness of the country.

Without him, Liu Bang is indeed a reckless hero who overthrew the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but it also depends on which angle to start from.

The Han Dynasty implemented a system of recommendation, which was simply and straightforward to be recommended by someone to become an official, which largely limited the rise of the Hanmen. On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty is the most unpopular dynasty, with its 20-level military merit title system, no matter what your background is, as long as you make meritorious service, you can be promoted to an official!

For example, in the Qin Dynasty, a common man slaughtered several wanted criminals and was promoted to a public servant, although he still had to serve, he could enjoy a salary of about 50 stones, and at the same time he had a hectare of land, a house and a servant.

Level by level, the treatment is getting better and better, easy is certainly not easy, but it is also a road to advancement, which is clearly placed there.

It's not that the Han Dynasty is bad, but the Qin Dynasty also has his merits, don't underestimate the rule of the Qin Dynasty, in fact, it's still very good, but the rules are too much, there is no trace of human touch, the so-called things must be reversed, from the perspective of future generations, those laws and rules are of course tyranny, but on the other hand, but in ancient times, how many laws and regulations can really be accepted by later generations?

After all, as soon as the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the Hanmen really began to have a clear road, and they had to wait until the Sui Dynasty started the imperial examination.

The main point is that the Qin Dynasty fell and Liu Bang created the Han Dynasty, after all, they were all his own family.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was foreign enemies who drove away. Well, of course, it's also my own family in the next generation, and the one in the north outside doesn't count, only the inside.

Most people only know that the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, but they don't know the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone knows that this is a ruthless person, and it is not ordinary ruthless, this point is not difficult to see from the invention of appalling torture. Then it is conceivable that the treatment of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty is definitely not good.

These people are either simply Mongols, or Han people and their descendants who worked hard for the Yuan Dynasty, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, you or your ancestors have done a lot of evil, so the descendants will naturally not be spared.

It is impossible to kill all, that is, to discriminately treat.

It can be said that these people were the most insecure people in the Ming Dynasty who had no human rights and the most insecure life. How many things have happened is not known, but what Zhou Shaoyu is concerned about is assimilation.

No matter what treatment these people have received or what has happened to them, in the end they just disappeared into the long river of history and completely integrated into the Han nation.

In this world of Daliang, the Turks are the unchanging foreign enemies for thousands of years, and it is impossible to conquer and sweep them away by force, the grassland is too big, even if there are more soldiers, it is useless, and the logistics consumption behind it will only be astronomical. The best example is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this male lord is indeed fierce enough, and the Huns who fight are not almost wiped out.

However, the grassland is still the same grassland, and the Han Dynasty is poor!

When a country is poor, it will naturally gradually decline, the Han Dynasty is like this, the Ming Dynasty is also like this, the three major expeditions of Wanli do have a long face, but they have not completely dragged down the government.

By the way, a certain cosmic superpower thinks that it is actually a burden for the Ming Dynasty to spend so much effort to help them fight away the invasion of the island country, because the money and food to feed the army are all provided by them, and as for the invasion, it is their cosmic-level super fierce general Li Sunsin, who has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.

Joke! Will the Ming Dynasty you feed be poor? You are so fierce, will the capital be destroyed so quickly? As for Yi Sunsin, it is undeniable that this one is capable, but don't forget that he is a general of the navy, to be honest, even if the capital has been destroyed and occupied, how many sailors can there be? How many battleships can be fed? If you really want to change the private fishing boat casually, I didn't say it! A cosmic superpower, how big is it to convert a fishing boat into a small aircraft carrier, right?

To get back to the point, since there is such a good opportunity now, Zhou Shaoyu will certainly not let go of the possibility of assimilation and integration. Farming is a magical thing, as long as they are used to sedentary farming, it may not be acceptable to switch back to nomadism.

In the middle, we will strengthen exchanges, increase cultural exports, and completely assimilate them only time.

Don't look at Ashina Huqin is still staying in Youzhou to make a lot of wind and rain, and when he is defeated, it will be the weakest time for the Turks, and then let Ainur go to the grassland to do something and make a long-term plan, which may not be able to completely turn enemies into friends.

In the final analysis, the reason why the relationship between the two is hostile is nothing more than the raiding and invasion of the Turks, the Turks complain that the conditions and environment are too poor, and envy the prosperity of the Central Plains, but if they can eat and dress warmly, it is not bad, I believe that most people will not choose to fight and kill.

At that time, a group of Turkic people had become accustomed to sedentary farming, and used this as a base to exchange markets and influence more Turkic people. The history of the two worlds has shown a lot of problems, restricting trade is useless, the more restricted, the more people want it, the more they will fight. Children want things and know how to make trouble, not to mention the Turks who are supreme by force, as long as Zhou Shaoyu can ensure that the national strength is strong, what if they completely let go of the transaction?

At that time, the Turks were bound to be divided into four categories: they could be kind to the assimilated, friendly to the friendly, to win over the neutral, and to exterminate the hostile. The ultimate goal is peace and long-term peace and stability. If the situation is really stable, even if Zhou Shaoyu doesn't make a move, the Turks themselves will take the initiative to fight those ambitious spoilers.

Maybe these problems are too long-term, but as a big boss, whether it is vision or layout, it is natural to take a long-term view.

So, no matter how you look at it, Ainul is a very useful chess piece, but of course there are some things that cannot be said explicitly, after all, no matter who you are, you will not think much about your own nation being controlled by others.

Of course, there is always a good feeling, exotic beauties, how fresh.

"I believe that Ashina Huqin will definitely be defeated, in this case, why don't you simply come to you to see his end with your own eyes, if you have the opportunity, it is best to use it yourself!" Ainul really hated that guy, because of him, the Asid family has further decayed, and there are not a few people left at all, and half of them have become Ashina Huqin's lackeys.

"It's good if you're happy." Zhou Shaoyu smiled dumbly, and could see that this girl was still a little Jiujiu in her heart, otherwise why did she only come over with dozens of people, instead of bringing some soldiers and horses again. It's not that I'm afraid that my strength will weaken again.

Zhou Shaoyu doesn't care about this, it's already in my hands, can you still tell you to run away? It's not that easy to get out of control.

Zhou Shaoyu and Ainul are very optimistic about the ending of Ashina Huqin, but sometimes things are so amazing.

Time into May, most of the tribes in the grassland have been far away from the border of Daliang, which makes it more and more difficult to obtain information, based on this, Ashina Huqin ignored the opposition, forced the leaders of the tribes to increase troops again, went around a large circle to hide into Youzhou, and then the battle was settled, the last city of Youwang was broken, and the city was slaughtered.

In the end, Youwang led nearly 10,000 people to break through and successfully fled all the way to Qingzhou, after which there was a skirmish between the officials and troops of the Great Liang court and the Turkic cavalry. However, the two obviously did not want to be formally hostile to each other, and immediately stopped as soon as they fought.

At this point, the entire territory of Youzhou fell, and one-third of the northern territory of Jizhou was also in the hands of the Turks. After losing the containment of King You, it is impossible for Huofeng alone to hold Jizhou, even if Zhou Shaoyu increases his troops to help, the situation is becoming more and more serious.

"Miscalculated!" After reading the latest battle report, Zhou Shaoyu led the army to retreat dozens of miles overnight.

I thought that I could rely on Youwang to achieve the purpose of containing consumption, but I never thought that Ashina Huqin would increase his troops again in such a careless way, but in this way, the proportion of young and strong people on the grassland was already low to a frightening number.

In the long run, as long as Ashina Huqin is exterminated, it will be beneficial to the opportunity to control the grassland in the future. But the question is how to get through the moment.

The best situation is that the Turks and the Great Liang court face each other, but this probability is very small, and it is basically impossible for now. The worst-case scenario is that the Turks lead their troops westward and attack the annexed states.

In this way, even if Ainur's combat power is added, Zhou Shaoyu can gather at most 80,000 horses, some of which are still inadequately trained new troops, which seems to be a lot, and Huofeng will definitely help, but in the face of the Turks who have increased their troops again, there is still some strength to be captured. Although the number of people cannot be completely determined in a war, no one can deny the combat power of the Turkic cavalry.

What's more, there is more than one enemy, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and what will he use to fight against the potential enemy Xiao Jiwen and the Liang court?

In such a situation, even Li Xiuning, who is so good at fighting, chose to withdraw his troops and stay away as soon as possible, which shows how much pressure there is behind it.

Jizhou Lecheng, Huofeng temporary palace. Zhou Shaoyu and Li Xiuning, Huofeng and Ainur sat down separately, but for a long time, they did not discuss a suitable result.

Zhou Shaoyu has already written to inform Taiyuan to see what the girls think, but there has been no reply at the moment.

"It would be nice to have a navy." Zhou Shaoyu said melancholy.

A large part of the coastline may belong to the Great Liang Imperial Court, but there will definitely be islands on the sea that are suitable for establishing supply points. The navy comes and goes freely, and it can go all the way north to attack and harass, so the situation will be much better.

But then again, if it was really so easy to build a navy, the current situation would not be like this, in the end, even the big beams do not have a decent naval division, but if they have a navy, they have a great advantage.

However, not to mention that there are no fully qualified sailor generals until now, and Zhou Sanshan is only a halfway monk who is still in the stage of research, learning and growth, even if there are powerful generals, the navy is not something that can be established overnight, and Zhou Shaoyu has only developed for a few years.

In contrast, Huo Feng was even more worried.

Next, the Turks may indeed attack Bingzhou, after all, they and Zhou Shaoyu also have a big enmity, and they have suffered several times in the hands of Zhou Shaoyu. But it is more likely to attack Jizhou.

First, Jizhou has fallen by a third and can continue at any time. Second, the state is now poor and the population is not large, so the actual benefits of fighting in the past will not be too much. But Jizhou is different, not to mention the people who fled from Youzhou, but Jizhou itself, the population is not small, once it is laid, the benefits are real.

What's more, Huofeng seems to have a lot of troops, but its actual combat power is not high, and it is not difficult to attack.

And once Jizhou is taken, only half of Yuzhou remains, and Yuzhou borders Jizhou, even if the Turks do not further attack Yuzhou, Huofeng is just waiting for defeat.

"There is a way for concubines, you can try it." Li Xiuning, who had closed her eyes for a long time, slowly opened her eyes, and said lightly with a cold face: "It only depends on whether Ye Niangzi dares or not, and she is reluctant." ”

There is nothing wrong with Ye Niangzi's title, Huofeng's surname is Ye, and Li Xiuning cannot call her His Majesty the Emperor. As for the name of the fire phoenix, it is nothing to call when discussing it in private, but it is not very suitable to put it on the bright side, and it is very appropriate to call it Ye Niangzi.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Huo Feng nodded and said solemnly.

Since Li Xiuning started like this, it is not difficult to guess that she is bound to sacrifice a lot, but she has no other way, let's see what Li Xiuning says first.

It's just that no one expected that Li Xiuning's method was so unexpected.

"Abandon Jizhou and evacuate Yuzhou." Li Xiuning's words were astonishing.
