MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2796 Li Dian has a plan to secure Hanzhong, Zhang Liao has no plan to see the hussars

  Although Li Dian said that he smelled of alcohol, his spirit was not as sluggish as when Pu Shi was still present. Instead, he was like a long sword that had just been sharpened, emitting a sharp light.

  He spread out a piece of bamboo paper, ready to write down his conceived strategy and deliver it to Huqi.

Before the arrival of Diren Wang Pushi, Li Dian had vaguely had some ideas, but they hadn't been fully formed, so it was not convenient to report, but what Li Dian didn't expect was that Zhang Liao had just left The King of the Di Ren came here, so Li Dian did not say that he would let the King of the Di Ren come after he made up his mind or reported it...

   After all, this is like being in battle, the opponent never waits until you are ready to start.

The biggest advantage of the Di people is that the number of conflicts they have with the big Han is not as many as the Xiongnu or the Qiang people, so they live a more stable life relatively, which also leads to the decrease in the number of Di people. It is relatively large and widely distributed, from Longxi to Sichuan and Sichuan, there are Di people, and because the king of Di people can be big or small, so in most cases, it is like a plate of loose sand, it is difficult to form a joint force, Not too much of a threat either.

  Of course, if there are big Diren kings like Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui who want to unify the entire Diren tribe, no matter when it is, it will be a huge threat, and we must always pay attention...

  Under such circumstances, how to subtly educate the Di people without arousing the disgust of the Di people is to test the ability of the ruling officials in the area in contact with the Di people.

  Li Dian picked up the pen, pondered for a while, and wrote down the four characters of "Elifen".

Emperor Guangwu bestowed the Diren king with the canonization and seal ribbon, which is certainly a kind of wooing, but at present, when the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is weakened and the East and West are divided, if he only knows how to copy the old answers and blindly imitate, then It is very likely that it will not produce the same effect as the time of Kowu.

   Simply put, everything is the most precious for the first time.

  With the proliferation of seals and ribbons among Diren kings, it is likely to be a joke just to confer positions.

  So what is the most effective method for a scattered group like the Di people?

   Li Dian thought of "benefits".

   But when there are many people, the most likely problem is the uneven distribution of benefits.

As small as a gang, as large as a team, good guys, bad guys, ordinary people, as long as interests are involved, this problem will naturally arise, but it is very rare to solve it, especially in the situation where there are many kings like Di people. Who can convince whom? Who can act as a balancer?

Completely different from the Southern Huns, the king of the Di people lived in the mountains, not on the edge of the Yin Mountain like the Southern Huns. These Di people were like small self-sufficient manors, except for the exchange of some necessary production and life. Apart from the information, there is actually very little contact with the outside world, which makes it difficult for the power of enlightenment to penetrate into the Di people's area.

  The language and customs of the Han people, Di people can’t understand, and don’t want to understand, so how to educate them?

  So before enlightenment, we must first strengthen communication.

   This is the first step of lure.

  If you don't give benefits, how can you attract people? But how to give, and what to give, has become the key to the problem.

   Li Dian finally decided to start with Nongsang.

  Because whether they are Han people or Di people, they all have to eat.

   Even the most ignorant and stupid people will instinctively want to eat and survive, so on this topic, it will never be out of date, nor will it be rejected by Di people.

  At the same time, Li Dian also deliberately made a bet, which made the "give" from an imposition to an automatic "beg". When the results of the comparison of farming between the two sides come out, the Di people will inevitably want to sneak up on the so-called "secrets" of the Han people, and then the Di people will naturally learn Chinese, learn the techniques of the Han people, and change their own habits and customs. up.

The only disadvantage is that the entire strategy takes a long time, it doesn't mean that you can see any effect in a short period of time, and it doesn't mean that if you do it now, a lot of people will run to the city at 3:00 the next day Kneeling all over the ground and kowtow...

  So in the political atmosphere before the Han Dynasty, ordinary officials were not very willing to do such a long-term plan.

  Who knows how many years he can work in this position?

  A chaotic political system, even if there are people who want to do things with peace of mind, they cannot do things well.

Li Dian paused for a moment, then stopped, frowned, and took the materials of the Di people with Huqi's annotations in his hand, carefully looked at the simple four characters before and after, then pondered, and then more and more The more you think about it, the more you think it makes sense.

  『The matter failed』, who revealed it? Needless to say, it must have been exposed by the Han people themselves. But how could things that are obviously beneficial to the Han people themselves be exposed? Didn't the Han people who leaked the news at that time not know that this was a national policy of the Han Dynasty, and it was something that was beneficial to the Han people themselves? Obviously impossible. The only explanation is some immediate interests.

  The interests of the country belong to the country, and he cannot get them.

   In other words, he will not feel it for a while, but the immediate benefits can be obtained immediately. So this is connected with the following two words of Huqi, "Shi Lian". If an official cannot be honest, then there is a high probability that he will not do anything for the country and the Chinese nation.

   But officials who only know how to be honest, can they handle things well? Just like Kong Fen. He was indeed honest to some extent, but he lost the support of all officials. On the contrary, it was because of his integrity that the leader of the Di people who felt fair treatment became the fighting force under Kong Fen at the most critical moment.

   This cannot but be said to be a great irony. The big man raises soldiers for thousands of days, but when the time comes, they won't be able to use them!

  Thieves that even the Di people can defeat, although they are in the mountains and forests, the Di people may be more familiar with the road and have a better location, but that's all! According to the information above, Kong Fen doesn't know anything about military affairs at all, so he is either the leader of the Di people, a genius of Tianzong, or the thief is actually so bad that he can...

   These two situations actually both illustrate a problem, Kong Fen is useless. Therefore, as a major official position in a place, it is obviously a big problem to only know how to be honest, but not how to restrain his subordinates and rectify the administration of officials. This kind of problem may not be obvious at ordinary times, but once you encounter a thief like Kong Fen, the problem will be serious.

   And for Hanzhong, is there no "thief"?

So for Li Dian, he not only has to consider his own integrity, but also the integrity of the officials under his rule. If he wants to make the officials clean, the first problem is to ensure that these officials can eat some normal food. meal".

  Official meal.

  Scheduled at fixed point, safe and guaranteed.

   If you are used to eating **** outside, it will be hard to control. At that time, maybe some people will turn around and question those who eat dinner. Could it be that watching pirated versions... Uh, no, isn't it delicious to eat shit?

  Although there may be no difference between shit-like chocolate and chocolate-flavored **** when you eat it, there must be a difference after eating it...

Li Dian wrote three sheets of bamboo paper full of his ideas and strategies, and then stopped, re-examining some of the inappropriate words and expressions. , Then I took a new bamboo paper, copied it again, put it in a bamboo tube, sealed it with wax paint, solemnly took the mark, and covered it.

  『Come on! Li Dian called the guards, "Send it to Chang'an immediately, and hand it over to the lord to seal it!" 』

  Compared to Li Dian's confidence and general strategy, Zhang Liao felt that he had no idea...

  Zhang Liao was also more or less aware of some problems, and vaguely heard some rumors.

  This problem is not a problem in Hanzhong, but a problem in the Western Regions.

The problem in Hanzhong is not a big one. Although Zhang Liao did not think about the more profound enlightenment issues like Li Dian did, but in the process of being in Hanzhong, he not only re-stabilized the business road, calmed down the place, but also started to build and expand the On the road leading to Chang'an, several transit stations were built, which can be said to be quite meritorious.

  But this doesn't mean anything.

   If you have meritorious service, you should be rewarded.

   If you have done it, you should be punished.

  But there are always people who can't figure it out, and even confuse merit and demerit.

  Zhang Liao let out a long sigh.

  『General, are you tired? The guard next to Zhang Liao said, and then looked up and looked ahead, "Four or five li ahead, there is a post station, why don't we go there for a rest?" 』

   Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, then nodded.

In order to make the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong smoother, starting from the entrance of Baoxie Road, basically every five miles, at most ten miles, there will be a post station, large or small, and then provide accommodation and food and clothing supplements for the traveling merchants. , as well as vehicle appliance repair and so on.

   Zhang Liao's guard whistled, and then several people passed Zhang Liao, went forward, and went to check for Zhang Liao first.

  Zhang Liao's heart suddenly moved slightly.

  He looked back at the private soldiers who accompanied him to Chang'an this time.

  At the moment, Zhang Liao doesn't have any soldiers who command Bingzhou in history. At present, most of the Bingzhou soldiers followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, and a small part stayed in the Yinshan Mountains in the east of the river. Only a small part, about 800 or so, followed Zhang Liao. Later, some were lost, and some were added, and now they are maintained. Around fifteen thousand.

Of course, when he arrived in Chang'an this time, Zhang Liao did not bring all of these more than 1,000 soldiers with him, but only 200 soldiers, and the rest of the troops followed the order and left Yangping Pass first, heading for Wudu Tianshui to Longxi. , and after meeting the hussars himself, there is a high probability that he will go to Longxi and join these soldiers.

  These soldiers can be regarded as the foundation of Zhang Liao's life, but at the same time, when Zhang Liao was walking in the praise ramp, he asked himself silently over and over again, "Is Bingzhou soldiers really important?" 』

  Everyone has their own value.

In history, Cao Cao also hesitated for a while, but in the end he killed Lu Bu, but at the same time he refused to kill the elite Bingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, so he left Zhang Liao as his commander . And Zhang Liao did not disappoint Cao Cao, and made great achievements in the Southern and Northern Wars.

   To put it simply, Cao Cao’s choice of Zhang Liao was not his first choice, and Lu Bu was not his first choice either. Cao Cao actually wanted Chen Gong more. Because only Chen Gong's identity can help him gather the remnants of the Bingzhou army, and he doesn't have to worry about the problem of the military power falling after Chen Gong leads the army. It is also very easy to clean up later. It's a pity that old classmate Cao tried hard to persuade Chen Gong, trying to impress Chen Gong by going to school together, but Chen Gong didn't know whether he had seen it through or was disheartened long ago, so Zhang Liao had the opportunity to change his career for a second time.

  Now most of the Bingzhou soldiers followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, while the Xiliang soldiers went to Feiqian, and most of them followed Zhao Yun to open up the Northern Region Protectorate. And now in Chang'an, and some of the follow-up soldiers under Hussar's command, although their native place may still be Bingzhou or Xiliang, they were all recruited one after another later, not those who were originally noisy in Heluo and Chang'an. State soldiers and Xiliang soldiers.

  As for why the hussars divided the two groups of soldiers, one to the west and the other to the north, Zhang Liao actually had some answers in his mind.

   Human heart, after all, is the most complicated thing.

   This is true for the above, and the same is true for the bottom.

Zhang Liao basically took part in the whole process, um, not to say he participated in it, but at least he was part of it. Regarding Dong Zhuo's fall from the peak to Li Guo's chaos in Chang'an, he witnessed the ferocious rise of Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers. In Luoyang City, he looked very arrogant, but he also saw Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers walking in the wilderness like wild dogs, aimless and aimless.

  These two different scenes, like Baoshui and Xieshui, seem to be completely incompatible, but they are connected together, and finally formed the Baoshui Road.

   All the way up, then all the way down.

  During the ups and downs, he either crashed headlong into a mountain stream, or walked towards the passage.

  Before Dong Zhuo, whether it was the Xiliang soldiers or the Bingzhou army, they were actually frontier soldiers, and they were all warriors who were actively or passively "forgotten" by the Han Dynasty.

Well, this "class" is also a term created by Huqi. Zhang Liao thinks it is very appropriate. It is like squeezing oil. The layer of oil sandwiched between the stones is also like the layers of stones in the ramp. Ladder of wood.

  The Xiqiang Rebellion has been fought for a long time, and the problem is indeed very big, but for such a long time, can the Xiliang soldiers be blamed for all the crimes? The land of Shandong has been dragged down. Could it be that Bingzhou's soldiers have been transferred to Xiliang, which eventually led to the complete fall of the North? Isn't Bingzhou considered to be dragged down?

   Bingzhou people have no grievances?

   And Dong Zhuo was just acting according to the situation, no, it was Li Ru...

Then all of a sudden, all the soldiers, including the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army, the stones that were pressed under the feet of the Han gentry rolled up, just like the stones under the blast of gunpowder in the Baoxie Road, and the stones on the stones were blown away. The soil and vegetation, as well as those insects, or people, were all lifted down.

  Thus, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the arrogance and domineering, and the madness after Xiliang soldiers took control of Chang'an, Zhang Liao now thinks back, it feels more like the madness after repression, and the irreversible after indulgence.

  Big fellow doesn’t have any psychiatrist.

   Not only in the Han Dynasty, but even in many feudal dynasties after that, when most generals commanded soldiers, in order to stimulate the combat effectiveness of soldiers and release their animal nature, they would let these soldiers burn, kill and loot after a tragic battle...

  Soldiers are going to fight in battle, either you die or I die. If there is hatred between the country and the family, it is okay to say. The Yue Family Army or any other feudal army is in the minority. And there must be national hatred and family hatred in front. It's like when the Bingzhou army was holding on to the Northland, they only had to shout and beat the barbarians, not to mention the Bingzhou soldiers, even the old and young men of the Northland, as long as they could move, they would come out with swords, guns and sticks.

  After losing the basic goal of defending the country, Zhang Liao still has a deep memory of what the soldiers of Xiliang and Bingzhou became in Luoyang and Chang'an.

  According to what the hussars said, they lost their faith.

  They shed blood and sweat in Longxi for the big man, and resisted the Hu people in the north, but what did they get?

   is a contemptuous address, a disgusted look, and a teaching by others as a counterexample, "Look, if you don't study hard, you will have to be a soldier in the future!" 』

Then I looked at the gentry children among the big men, all of them were able to steal high positions with great effort, pointing at them, shouting and drinking, and then throwing some dog food, making them fight like wild dogs. Grab it, and laugh at it for fun.

  So, when Dong Zhuo roared angrily above the court, Zhang Liao didn't feel anything wrong at that time.

  That is the long-standing injustice...

  But right now, at least in Guanzhong, being a soldier is no longer a shame, but an honor. Soldiers have better treatment, not only their own salary, but also bring blessings to their families. Before, the common people were afraid of being soldiers, but now they wish their children could be selected.

  Before, I was afraid that my children would become unnecessary consumables, but now I send my children to serve as soldiers with tears in my eyes and hope.

   The more he understood this, the more worried Zhang Liao became. He was worried that the early Bingzhou villagers in the Western Regions didn't know the current changes in Chang'an Sanfu. He was also worried that Lu Bu's character was stubborn and stubborn, and he never changed his self-righteousness. He was even worried that if the worst thing happened one day Under the circumstances, what should he do...

  Zhang Liao couldn't think of a good way, and he was even a little scared.

   After all, many things have changed now.

  Everything is completely different from what it was then. Under such circumstances, if there is chaos in the Western Regions, it must be wrong.

   Or simply put, lost righteousness.

   Zhang Liao walked and thought about these questions, but even when he finally arrived at Chang'an and stood in front of the yamen of Huqi Mansion, he still didn't have a relatively safe answer in his mind.
