"That's right, what General Meng said is very true, we can use the Mongolian iron cavalry."
Yang Yanhui said in surprise.
"That's right, General Meng's proposal is very good, the Mongolian cavalry is good at fighting and sneak attacks, and now the Mongolian cavalry is also equipped with horseshoes, saddles, stirrups, these things are stronger than before, if they help, the results will be better."
Huo Quzhi said in agreement, but soon Huo Quzhi's face showed hesitation, "The question is whether they will agree to the Prince of Towlei."
"Don't worry, Tuo Lei won't refuse, after all, this is also an opportunity for them."
Meng Tian said confidently.
"Opportunity, what opportunity" Ma Chao asked again.
"You can ask Lord Ouyang, Lord Han, and Mr.
Jia this question, because they can give you the most accurate answer."
Meng Tian said with a smile.
Ouyang Xiu, Han Fei, and Jia Xu all smiled, indeed the three of them were the most qualified to explain, and they were also the ones who knew the reasons for this.
"Can the three adults explain it to Ma Chao?"
Ma Chao said respectfully, and he still respected Ouyang Xiu and Ma Chao very much.
"Indeed, as General Meng said, if we ask Mongolia to go to war, Mongolia will definitely go to war."
Han Fei laughed.
"Why is this?"
Ma Chao puzzled.
"In the past, if one of the two countries had been at war, if one of them had been defeated, they would have become slaves of the victorious nation and homeless.
But His Majesty did not, not only did His Majesty not take these Mongolian steppe people as slaves, but gave them food, clothing, and allowed them to enter the Han Dynasty, let them intermarry with the Han people, and gave them enough respect, which was a great favor for them.
The northerners have made a promise, and His Majesty has given them such a great favor, and of course they will be grateful to His Majesty, and they will certainly be obligated to give them the opportunity.
Han Fei explained.
At this time, Ouyang Xiu also spoke, "What Lord Han said is only one of the reasons.
Although His Majesty gave them respect, in the minds of the majority of the people and officials, the Mongols were the losers and inferior.
The Mongols or steppe people, they have great self-esteem, they are not convinced, but they are already reluctant to live a good life in the Han Dynasty, coupled with the governance of the thunder and the soft and hard of the imperial court, they did not give birth to a rebellious heart. ” Ouyang Xiu stopped and took a sip of water, and then slowly spoke again, "So they can only get respect in another way, the grassland people are very different from my Han people, they are not as good at learning as the Han people, except for hunting, animal husbandry is their advantage, so it is impossible to get the respect they deserve in a short period of time, so how do you think they should get respect?"
Ouyang Xiu looked around, finally looked at Ma Chao and asked.
"Could it be that you are joining the army," Ma Chao said tentatively, "To be precise, it is to enter the imperial army, participate in battles, and make meritorious contributions.
Because of His Majesty, the status of the soldiers is very high in the hearts of the people, especially the soldiers who have made military achievements, if the Mongols enter the army to serve the imperial court and make meritorious contributions, not to mention being respected by all the people, but they can still receive the respect of a large number of people.
Ouyang Xiu replied.
"If there is one, there will be two, and in the long run, the attitude of the Han people towards the Mongols will also change."
Meng Tian followed Ouyang Xiu's words and said.
Ma Chao hurriedly urged, "Time is pressing, then let's contact them quickly."
"Meng Qi is not in a hurry, there is still plenty of time."
Meng Tian laughed.
"I thought it wasn't that simple."
Jia Xu suddenly spoke, The next day, Huo Quzhi received a letter from Chang'an again.
After reading the letter, he was silent, he did not make it public, but quietly found Jia Xu and Meng Tian.
"Sure enough, as Mr.
Jia Xu said, things are not so simple."
Huo Quzhi said as he handed the letter to Meng Tian and Jia Xu.
It didn't take long for Meng Tian and Jia Xu to finish reading the letter, and Meng Tian took the initiative to ask, "What is General Huo going to do?"
"This battle was mentioned by a certain person, although there are some changes, but a certain will never give up."
Huo Quzhi said categorically, without the slightest hesitation.
"Then if we follow what the letter says, we can't fully use the Mongols," Meng Tian sighed.
"Mr.
Zhang said in the letter that Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jia can find soldiers and horses for us, I don't know what Mr. has planned," Huo Quzhi looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu smiled, looking like he was in his chest, and saw him slowly speak, "The two generals can know the Qin general Zhang Han" "The name of Zhang Han, the two of us naturally know."
Meng Tian replied.
"What Mr. means is that we can also follow Zhang Han's example and form an army of prisoners to carry out this plan."
Huo Quzhi instantly thought of what Jia Xu meant, "Yet" Jia Xu laughed, "It's different now, where are there so many death row inmates under my staff," Meng Tian retorted, "Why use all death row inmates."
Jia Xu laughed.
"Other prisoners who have been in prison for too long can also be replaced."
"Please Teach Mesieur" Meng Tian bowed down and looked like a student studying for a student, waiting for Jia Xu's answer.
"General Meng is really tormented" Jia Xu smiled and helped Meng Tian up, "I wonder how many war criminals we have not executed," Jia Xu asked.
"There are about 2,000 people, and a large number of prisoners have been executed or have died of illness and suicide in recent years."
Meng Tian replied, "There are at least two thousand here."
Jia Xu laughed.
"Liangzhou, Sili counties, there must be a lot of prisoners in the prison cells of each county, there must be a lot of prisoners in it, and a group of people can also be made here, and some of the children of the family have been taken down by us, we can completely exchange the children of the family for the manpower of the family, those families value their own blood very much."
Jia Xu continued.
"If you are a war criminal, you can decide, but those prisoners in the heavenly prisons of various counties and counties are afraid that they will ask Lord Han and Lord Ouyang for permission.
As for the family, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome, and it also needs the permission of Lord Han.
Meng Tian hesitated.
"There is actually no trouble in the family, in the eyes of those families, the slaves and subordinates are not even as good as cattle, sheep and horses, if they can be exchanged for the clansmen, they will definitely agree.
Moreover, we can give them benefits, such as armor, weapons, horses, or official positions, military positions. ” Jia Xu said calmly, "Armor, weapons, horses, official positions, military positions, how can these things be promised casually."
Meng Tian said dissatisfied.
"Why can't we give them horses, old horses, armor, weapons, we can give them damaged and confiscated armor."
"What is the difference between the official position, the military position, promising these things to them, and buying and selling titles and official positions?"
Meng Tian seemed to be a little angry, and there was anger in his words.
"At the beginning, buying and selling officials and lords was incompetent, the family was strong, and the traitors were treacherous, but now it is different from the past, Your Majesty is Shengming, the courtiers are Qingming, the strength of the family has been greatly reduced, the court can suppress the family, what about some petty officials and small positions to them, when the time comes, we will find a chance to take it back."
Jia Xu sneered, Sizzle Meng Tian and Huo Qu were frightened, they didn't expect Jia Xu's plan to be like this, this plan is not poisonous, simply put, it is to use the people of the family, and throw it away when they are finished.
The bridge was demolished across the river, and the cost of building the bridge was extremely heavy.
Before Meng Tian could wait, Huo Quzhi spoke, and Jia Xu continued, "In addition, since it is to attract enemies, you can't just use these family slaves and prisoners, they are a rabble in the true sense, if you just use them, you will be exterminated before they can attract the attention of Cao Jun."
"Mr.
Mo Fei plans to make use of the Mongols as well," Huo Quzhi asked.
"You can't say that you can use it, to be precise, Lord Zhang uses us as a guide to make the raid army successful, why can't we use those prisoners and slaves as a guide to let the Mongolian cavalry disrupt the Cao army's formation."
Jia Xu explained.
"Calculation within a Count" Meng Tian exclaimed, "Mr. is talented, Huo Ji admires" Huo Quzhi said respectfully, :
