Cachinnation. Chen Gong opened his mouth and said! Chui Gong, the situation is extremely favorable at this time, now and the state, Liangzhou are in the hands of the lord, next year can take advantage of the grassland Hu people to wave the army to the north, the entire Hetao land back, the army will be built by the Han Dynasty to recapture the north of the Great Wall, the lord of the Hu people's situation can be attacked, retreated and defended

Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded solemnly, and now Zhang Xiu recaptured a section of the Great Wall, which is the southernmost Great Wall, which is the Great Wall of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and has been repeatedly reinforced and built, which can be said to be the last line of defense of the Han people. Once this section of the Great Wall is lost, there will be no danger to the south. The Qin Emperor and the Han Wu Dynasty built two Great Walls north of the Yellow River after recapturing the Hetao area, and the Han Wu period built more north than the Qin Emperor period, these two sections of the Great Wall are the real places to defend the frontier to recapture these two Great Walls, just as Chen Gong said, the grassland is to attack and retreat. And get the Hetao area, this place has been opened by the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty for two generations, and has long become a large granary that is no less fertile than Yizhou, but due to the weather, there can only be one or two crops a year, but the transportation of grain and grass is much more convenient than Yizhou, all in all, it is extremely beneficial to Zhang Xiuzhan to seize this place.

At this time, Zhong Zhen, who saw that Zhang Xiu was quite moved, suddenly coughed and said: "Although the words of the public platform are reasonable, so many soldiers and horses have been dispatched in this year's war. Everywhere the food stocks are almost exhausted. To send troops. At least not until next year's autumn harvest.

And it is not easy to seize this place, but it takes a lot of troops to defend the Great Wall, plus the internal defense of the state, the lord needs at least 150,000 additional troops, of which 50,000 guard Yanmen, Huguan and other places against the secluded, wing danger pass, 100,000 is the border army guarding the North Great Wall, which is indispensable for foot soldiers and cavalry, and it costs a lot of money and food here. Although the recapture of the Hetao allowed the lord to obtain a grain production area, the grain stored in Guanzhong must at least support the consumption of the border army for the first year before the grain of the Hetao could be supplied to the border army and the large army of the state

As soon as Zhong Jian finished speaking, Zhuge Rough said again: "In addition, I think there is another big problem in retaking the Hetao. The Southern Xiongnu are attached. The imperial court had allowed the Southern Xiongnu to live in the Hetao area, but these Hu people rebelled when they were strong and attached when they were weak. If there is no effective way to completely solve these Hu people, the Hetao area will not be able to completely settle down in one day. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and nodded silently. The problem raised by Zhong Doo is indeed important, but it is not impossible to solve it, and the best way is to let the army attack. robbing the Hu people of food and grass. Fight to feed the war. As long as you feed the war for a year, you can get through the first year's attrition problem. Border armies can be established. And it can also eliminate a lot of Hu people who are a threat to the Han.

The problems raised by Zhuge Jin involve more fundamental issues, which can be extended to the policy towards Hu, but history has already given Zhang Xiu a solution in this regard. That is to carry out the great integration of nationalities, so that the Hu people can accept the advanced Han culture. However, this sinicization is not dominated by the Hu people as in history, and all the suffering and suffering are borne by the Han people, but in turn by the Han people. As for how much suffering and suffering the Hu people have to endure, and how much blood they have to shed, it depends on why they don't cooperate. Cooperation takes the initiative to accept sinicization, then there will be less bloodshed. If you don't accept it, then wait for Zhang Xiu's army.

Since Zhang Xiu's plan has been decided, he said with a smile: "What Yuan Chang said is also easy to solve, after the autumn harvest next year, the army will go out and capture the Hetao within three months." Hit the North Great Wall. As for the issue of grain and grass, we also learned from the Hu people, they robbed us Han people so much, can't we take them back? Robbing the Hu people's food and grass, coupled with the support of Guanzhong, our army can survive the winter. As for the year after tomorrow, they will go out of the Great Wall to rob it, so that the supply of the army will be solved. As for the question raised by Ziyu, the general was going to rule the Hu people, including the Qiang and other tribes, all of whom had to wear Hanfu, learn Chinese, learn etiquette, and change their names. Whichever Hun disobeyed, he was defeated. Xiliang can take his time, now in the past few years, these Qiang Hu people have learned Chinese and etiquette, some Hu people have also begun to wear Hanfu, as for changing the Han name, let them have both the Han name and the name of their own clan for the time being, it will not take a hundred years, and there will be no Han Hu in these places

When everyone heard this, they all gasped, Zhang Xiu's move was ugly, that is, the extermination of the clan was not from blood, but from the cultural roots, which was exactly the same as the situation of the Hu people wanting to destroy the Han people's well-dressed temple. From the beginning of the third generation, the Han people did not stop coming into contact with the Hu people. From Dongyi, Beiqiu, Xirong to the later Xiongnu and now the Xianbei and Wuhuan who are gradually becoming stronger, many of these ethnic groups have been integrated into the Han nation through continuous wars or voluntary sinicization. But that's just a minority. There are too many races of the Hu people.

Maybe now that Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wumad are all wiped out, Rouran, Turkic, Khitan, and Jurchen will emerge one after another. If it is purely by force. Zhang Xiu believes that no matter how strong the national strength is, there will be a day of decay if you fight more, so the only way is to sinicize the Hu people. It is better to conquer by force than to conquer by culture, supplemented by conquest by force. A two-pronged approach is the best approach.

Zhang Xiugang proposed this method, and everyone still had some doubts in their hearts, in the eyes of people in this era. The Hu people are all disobedient to education.,If it weren't for this, these Hu people wouldn't be so arrogant.,The sinicization of the Hu people has always been their initiative.,Otherwise, even if the Han people want them to sinicize, it's useless.。 But in Zhang Xiu's view, this is not the case, the Hu people do not obey the indoctrination, then they are forced to educate, the people with a low degree of civilization cannot use this method, but the people with a high degree of civilization can use this method. Zhang Xiu asked herself, even after 1,800 years of travel, there is no national civilization in the world that is higher than the Chinese civilization. After 1,800 years, people feel that their national civilization is backward, because they have suffered too many setbacks, and they have lost their self-confidence and abandoned their own national strengths, but they have discarded the dross of other civilizations and scrambled to snatch them back, which is obviously extremely stupid in Zhang Xiu's view. However, 1,800 years later, Zhang Xiu can't change the status quo, but in the great era of the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu's current ability can indeed be used.

The privileges of the Maison were reformed through the imperial examinations and other systems. It is to make the exhibition of the Han nationality more vigorous. And the coercive policy against the Hu people is a policy to expand the border. In the present era, the Han nation is the only one that can form an independent high-level and sharp in the world, the Islamic civilization in the west has not yet risen, and the Roman civilization in the west is gradually declining, and it is the darkest era in the history of the West to go down, and it is not until a thousand years later that their civilization officially rises, and this era is the best time for the Han nation to exhibit

Zhang Xiu's ambition is great, but he knows that human life is limited, and it is already great for the princes who can divide one side of the Han Dynasty in his lifetime, and it is already great to end the troubled times, and he can only rely on his descendants to go further. But Zhang Xiu not only has courage, but also the knowledge that is ahead of the times, as long as the system is established, the Han nation can continue to develop, and has been carrying out cultural conquest with a high civilization.

Far from it. Zhang Xiu proposed this method, expecting that his subordinates might not be able to accept it for a while, but Zhang Xiu believed it. It will take a while for these elites who stand at the top of the era to understand the intention of Zhang Xiu's method.

After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, the military generals were the first to react, although Zhao Yun and Tai Shici did not agree too much with the practice of snatching Hu Ren. But there is no objection either. Whether it is Zhao Yun, who was born in Hebei, or Tai Shici, who traveled in Youzhou when he was a teenager. They all know the brutality of the Hu people, so they will not speak out against it.

Pang De was born in Liangzhou, and this kind of snatching of grain is commonplace, but he felt a little strange when he first heard about the reverse method of robbing the Hu people by the Han army. But after thinking about it, I also feel that what Zhang Xiu said is reasonable, how can Hu people rob Han people, but Han people can't rob Hu people.

The rest of Gao Shun and other generals naturally did not object, so they came out. Zhang Xiusuo's proposal to attack the Hetao area next year to grab the grain and grass of the Hu people for the needs of the army was generally not opposed.

The generals did not object, and Wenchen did not question it. The tone of this matter was set, as for the matter of forcing the sinicization of the Hu people, Zhang Xiu knew that this matter had a lot to do, so he gave some time for everyone to go back and think about it again. The business of deliberation is over. Zhang Xiu rewarded the meritorious people one by one, and finally began the feast.

After the feast was over, Jia Xu was left alone, and Zhang Xiu knew that Jia Xu had something to say, so he brought him to: "What's the important thing about Wenhe?" ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Lord, there is a plan." It can make the grassland Hu people have the disaster of extermination

Zhang Xiu heard this, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "I don't know what Wenhe has to do?" ”

Jia Xu's face was flat, and he asked, "I don't know if the lord knows about the people?" ”

Zhang Xiu listened, his heart was shocked, Zhang Xiu naturally knew that the pounding people can be said to be the most ferocious of all the ethnic groups in history, after the history of the pounding tribe to take revenge on the Huns, killing the Huns not one out of ten, the extermination of the Xiongnu after the slaughter is also related to the massacre of the stunned people, in addition to Xianbei, Xianbei later contained the pounding tribe, and was also killed by the pounding tribe in retaliation and almost wiped out.

The same is true of the Han nation, which was almost wiped out by the Tao people. Before the Wuhu Rebellion, there were more than 10 million Han people, but by the time Ran Yan promulgated the Hu Slaughter Decree, there were less than 5 million Han people left, which was more than half in just a few decades. In their eyes, the Han people are just two-legged sheep, and the Han women can be insulted at will, even compared with the military canal, their evil is not as good as that of the scorpion tribe. It can be seen that this wounded tribe is extremely cruel, and it is not worthy of being called a human at all.

Zhang Xiu heard it and asked solemnly: "What is Wenhe's strategy?" ”

Jia Xu's face was still flat, but Zhang Xiu noticed a fierce look flashing in the depths of his eyes. I only heard Jia Xu say: "The strategy is to release these troublemakers into the grassland. Let them slaughter the Hu people, with this evil wolf, the grassland Hu people will suffer the disaster of extermination. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, shook his head and said: "Wenhe's strategy can indeed make the grassland Hu people have the disaster of extermination, but kicking the clan is a double-edged sword, since it can hurt the Hu people, after it is strong, it can naturally hurt my Han people"! Although Zhang Xiu knew that the Yongyu tribe would inevitably start a bloody massacre on the grassland, he didn't want the Scorpion tribe to come south to kill the Han people after gaining power.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, but this smile seemed very gloomy to Zhang Xiu, only to hear Jia Xu say: A little good at medicine must be good at poison, Mr. Xu Wenhua once accidentally developed a poison, this poison is not made immediately, but five or even ten years later, when the poison will bleed to death, there is no cure. The lord only needs to poison the food of the dog people, and then put all the troublemakers who have been poisoned into the grassland, and divide their weapons, and ask them to attack all parts of the grassland. A few years before the poison, I am afraid that the entire prairie will become a bloody prairie, and when the poison occurs, all the adult men of the scorpion clan will die, and the old and young left behind will not escape the butcher's knives of the various tribes on the grassland who have been poisoned by it. Zhang Xiu heard this, and his thoughts changed again, but he still asked, "Is this poison safe?"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Please rest assured, the lord has already asked Mr. Hua for the formula, and the person has prepared the medicine, and then found a lot of pawns to test, the strongest of these people will die for ten years, and the weak will die for five years, if the lord is not worried about those dog people, the amount of medicine can be more, with the ferocity of the sauce clan, as long as they are used for three to five years, the grassland departments may suffer heavy losses." ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: "In addition to the drug, the old and young of the stunned clan are detained, and there are not many young people who only release Qingzhuang from the grassland Xiaojiang clan, and there are only about 30,000 people." No matter how much they can fight, in three or five years, these 30,000 people will definitely suffer a lot of casualties, and even if they want to fight back, Ben will be sure to deal with them. As for the young and old, the secret will be them". In the end, Zhang Xiu made a head-killing gesture in the air with his hand.

Jia Xu heard it and nodded, he knew that Zhang Xiu was still worried about the sauce clan, if he released all the troublemakers, he was afraid that there would be fish that slipped through the net, and if he only let the young and strong out, even if he gave birth to offspring in the past three or five years. To deal with these descendants of the Jie clan who have not yet grown up, Zhang Xiu also has many methods. This will cause fewer bloody storms on the steppe. But for Zhang Xiu, it is much safer.

Zhang Xiu said: "In this way, Wen He will prepare a lot of that medicine, and when he attacks the Hetao next year, he will be able to contact these scorpion tribes, and then release them out of the grassland." ”

Jia Xu nodded:. The lord is wise. ”

After Jia Xu left, Zhang Xiu silently calculated in her heart. Now the Hetao area and the beneficial states are already in the bag, but due to the limitation of grain and grass, these two places cannot be taken down. If there is grain, Zhang Xiu still intends to take Yizhou first, but because he can't use the sword before the autumn harvest next year, and Yizhou is covered by heavy snow in winter, and the march is difficult, so he can only take the Hetao first, and Yizhou can only hold it off for the time being. However, now Yufu and Hanzhong are in their hands, and the road to Yizhou is controlled by Zhang Xiu, and he is not afraid that Yizhou will be touched by other princes. And after harvesting Yizhou and Hetao, it was the time when Zhang Xiu's soldiers swept the world!
