Chapter 409: High Hopes


Tuoba Shi Yijian definitely has the idea of picking up cheap, and their position also has the convenience of picking up cheap, whether it is attacking Shijie Zhao State, or sneaking up Murong Yan State, or even continuing to annex the Xiongnu tribes, no matter how you look at it, there is room for turnaround.

The relationship between the Han and the Tuoba Dynasty can only be said to be good, and there has been no alliance for a long time, but it is based on the fact that they do not threaten each other and can communicate with each other.

How to control the dynasty is a plan that requires steps, and the Han State needs to at least grasp one of the lifelines of the Tuoba Dynasty, or have some great interests to drive it, otherwise the Tuoba Dynasty has no obligation to shed its own blood and obey the command of the Han State.

Xie Ai believes that the most urgent thing at present is to have a trade route that can communicate with the Tuoba Dynasty, and everything is lacking in the grassland, once the trade route is opened, it is possible to make the Tuoba Dynasty dependent on the Han State.

"Dependence will become a habit, once the food, salt, iron and other items of the Daiguo need to be provided by the Han Dynasty, the king will be able to influence the national policy of the Daiguo."

Xie Ai didn't look like he had a hot head for a while, he had already expressed a lot of thoughts to Liu Yan before, and he had been adding in detail: "It may not be possible to open up trade routes in a short period of time, but it can be promised verbally, at least let Daiguo lean towards the Han." ” Liu Yan fully understands what Xie Ai means, and believes that Xie Ai is a talent with advanced consciousness.

In fact, Xie Ai's plan for Daiguo was nothing more than to control its economy and further erode the overall productivity of Daiguo, so that Daiguo could not even make a needle by himself, and completely relied on the provision of Han.

In this way, the Tuoba Dynasty did not restore its own productive forces, or did not find a new object of dependence, so what could it do but obey the Han State Similar tactics have actually appeared in the pre-Qin period, and have been repeatedly used in the Western Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu, for example, Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty spared no effort to provide silk and other luxury goods to the Xiongnu is an example, although Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty wanted to erode the will of the Xiongnu, but the meaning is always the same.

It is not easy to destroy the productive capacity of the other country, it is necessary to be ahead in terms of productivity and creativity, and it is more than a little bit ahead.

In the process, there may also be losses in sales, even if they lose money, they will completely occupy the other party's market.

This is a time-consuming strategy that won't help much in the short term.

"No matter how you control it, the priority now is to win Yanzhou and Jizhou."

Ji Chang looked at Xie Ai very much, but some words should be clearly explained: "What we have to think about is how to let Daiguo do something because of our needs." ” The main force of the Han army has been on the battlefield in Yanzhou, and the Jizhou side can only take a defensive position.

Under this premise, the Youzhou army that contained Shijie Zhao could do it, but it was delusional to fight north to the grass.

Troubled by the Han army's inability to continue northward, Tuoba Shiyijian's brain was caught in the door before he attacked Shijie Zhao.

In addition, the main force of Murong Yan moved to Liaodong, attacking Goguryeo and coercing Han in Liaodong respectively, and it seems that they are still suppressing the rebellion of Yuwen Xianbei and Buyeo.

The northern border army of Shijie Zhao did not suffer heavy losses, but only confronted the Han army and could turn back at any time.

Murong Yanguo saw that there was no possibility of being contained, and Tuoba Shi Yijian's best choice was to continue to fight in Shuofang, encroaching on or annexing the territory and population of the Xiongnu tribes.

"We only have 15,000 people in the grasslands, and we can't do a big war."

Sang Yu looked at Liu Yan and asked cautiously, "Madam Tuoba Xiu allowed those fifteen thousand people to attack?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yan was full of emotion, those were Tuoba Xiu's dowry, but Tuoba Xiu said that Liu Yan could use it casually, even if it was all gone, it didn't matter.

No matter what time it is, a woman's willingness to give everything for her man is an extremely rare quality.

Especially under the premise that society allows three wives and four concubines, a woman is willing to give everything she has to help her husband's career, which is actually even more rare.

Seeing Liu Yan nodding, Sang Yu had to say, "Madam is really a great woman." ” If Liu Yan let Tuoba Xiu's people attack Shijie Zhao or Murong Yan, whether Tuoba Shiyi is strong or not, the two countries will definitely take action, and then Tuoba Daiguo will be involved in the war between Han and Shijie Zhao and Murong Yan.

I believe that Tuoba Xiu will definitely be able to think of the direction in which things will go, but she did not hesitate at all and expressed her position directly.

Liu Yan is very lucky to be able to marry a woman like Tuoba Xiu, but as a maiden Tuoba family, he is extremely unlucky.

That was one of Xie Ai's solutions, to forcibly drag the Tuoba Kingdom into the quagmire of war.

It may not allow Tuoba Shi Yijian to invest much troops, but as long as Shijie Zhao and Murong Yan feel the threat from Tuoba Daiguo, they will already achieve their goal for Han.

There is a sense of guilt between individuals, but not between countries.

Even Liu Yan used Tuoba Daiguo to make Tuoba Shi Yijian angry, as long as it caused the facts, Tuoba Shi Yijian could only suppress his anger.

As for what will happen in the future, whether Liu Yan will compensate Tuoba Shi Yijian, in fact, it is really necessary to compensate in some aspects, so that the two countries can continue to play happily with each other.

The strategy of the Tuoba Dynasty has been set, and how to implement it depends on the actual needs, and in general, the deviation will not be too large.

Liu Yan covered his forehead, looked around, and asked, "Then Ran Min has led the army to Yuzhou, what should be the way to deal with it?"

"Within a month, the army will be expanded by 100,000, and Ran will arrive in Yuzhou with 300,000 troops."

Sang Yu said with mockery: "Ran Ming knows that he will eliminate the old and weak, but he still does this, and what he seeks is nothing more than the command of the large corps. ” There is already preliminary information sent to Fenggao from Yuzhou, and the 300,000 troops brought by Ran Min are according to the standards of the Han army, and if they can be eliminated, the remaining 100,000 is too much, and the remaining 200,000 are all personnel who want to be disarmed and returned to the field.

The Han army's resettlement standards for the disarming and returning to the fields are quite high, not only to give acres of land, but also to the social welfare is also very high, which is equivalent to saying that Ran Min suddenly increased the burden of at least 200,000 people on the Han State, and the 200,000 people who received benefits are probably thanks to Ran Min more than Liu Yan.

According to Sang Yu's original words, that is, Ran Min is really not a minister.

After the incident of "Tian Dai Qi", not only did the world's businessmen completely fall into blood mold, but it also became an ill-intentioned interpretation to show favor to the society.

Ran Min first brought about 120,000 heads to ask for merit, and about 200,000 people benefited because of their actions, everything was paid for by the state, but it was individuals who got fame and popularity.

"Zhang's behavior is very vicious."

Ji Chang is talking about Zhang Jun, who gave Ran Min ideas.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's just that Ran hasn't figured it out, and none of his subordinates will dissuade him."

That is Ji Chang's understanding of Ran Min is obviously not enough, and he is not a person who can listen to persuasion at all.

For example, some people such as Tiao You, Wang Jian, Ma Yuan, Chang Wei, etc., they had to say that they had to follow Ran Min to survive, but this is not the case at present.

After Ran Min removed the national name and collectively attached to it, and the names of the subordinates and monarchs were determined, that is, a few people such as Jiang Gan, Miao Song, and Liu Yi determined the identity of Ran Min's retainers, and the rest were included in the entire system of the country, that is to say, most of them became state officials, not Ran Min's personal retainers.

As for what kind of arrangements should be made for those who came to join the people, those who originally held official positions certainly did not retain their original official positions, but these people definitely had to take advantage of more than those who were "innocent".

Sang Yu said to Liu Yan: "The troops are reorganized in Yuzhou, let Ran Min and a group of people come to Fenggao. ” Ji Chang immediately echoed: "It should be so." ” Liu Yan bowed his head: "Then write an order and send someone to convey it." ” In about a month, it will be the middle of spring, and the climate will vary from place to place.

For example, the complete melting of ice and snow in Jizhou is in the middle of spring, which may be affected by the melting of ice and snow to increase water vapor, and there will be a rainy season for a while.

Considering that the snow and ice melt and the rainy season will have a period of mud, the resumption of the battle on the Zhangshui front should be until the end of late spring.

Located in Yanzhou, which is relatively south, the ice and snow have begun to melt at the beginning of spring, and the next half month or so will be the rainy season, followed by a long period of sunshine.

According to calculations, Puyang County will not enter a suitable climate for war in more than a month and a half.

Ran Min, who received the order, appeared in front of Liu Yan eight days later, and the number of people who came with him was quite large, all of them were the original civil officials and generals of the Ran Qin State.

Although Liu Yan was ten miles out of the city to greet him, Ran Min still looked slightly haggard and depressed.

After the two met, it was Ran Min who took the lead in saluting, and Liu Yan walked forward quickly to hold Ran Min's arms, laughing when they looked at each other.

"Yongzeng is here."

Liu Yan held Ran Min's arm with one hand, and compared to the direction of the car with the other: "Come, share the car with the widow." ” "Wangshang" Ran Min called, and the person was pulled forward by Liu Yan.

He found that Liu Yan's strength was really surprisingly great, and after a little struggle and hesitation, he was pulled away, and replied: "How did the king arrange for his ministers?"

Liu Yan didn't answer, came to the side of the car and stepped on the wooden pier, turned around and looked at Ran Min with a smile.

Those who came with Ran Min, when they saw Liu Yan inviting Ran Min to ride with him, almost everyone had their own ideas, and most of them felt extremely relieved.

It should be that Liu Yan treats Ran Min well, and their treatment will not be too bad.

The carriage started steadily, Liu Yan turned his head to look at Ran Min, and said, "Yongzeng, tell me what you think first." ” "The king is not to blame, and the ministers are grateful."

What Ran Min said should be to behead the head and quickly expand the army, he didn't feel any panic, and said bluntly: "It's not that the minister is inviting people's hearts, it's that the minister feels that he has treated them badly, while he can still do something."

"Alright, alright."

Liu Yan directly exposed it and said: "Yongzeng has created a lot of problems for the widow, but he wants to give the widow a return on the battlefield. ” "Self-service" Ran Min maintained a saluting posture, looking less depressed, and his tone was more natural: "How to govern the country, the minister can't do it, but the battle field is the minister's director." ” That's me, if it's anyone, don't let you lead the troops again, it's not bad if you don't kill them.

Liu Yan kept smiling, complained in his heart, and said to Ran Min: "The war in Puyang County will start again soon, what does Yongzengke think?"

"The battle of Puyang County has become a battle of national fortune, so naturally it is time to go all out and give Shijie the most serious blow."

Ran Min said that the temperament of the whole person in the war has completely changed, like a sharp blade with a scabbard drawn: "The king arranged 100,000 troops around Puyang, built a military fort and many fortifications in winter, and transferred the ministers from Guanzhong to Yuzhou, so it was natural to carry out a flanking attack." ” Liu Yan nodded, looked at Ran Min with blazing eyes, and asked very cautiously: "If the widow wants you to take full command of the battle of Puyang, you may not live up to the widow and the Han State."

At this time, Ran Min had to be stunned, no matter what the outcome of the war in Puyang was, it would definitely affect the rise and fall of the Han Kingdom and the Shijie Zhao Kingdom, and even determine the general trend of the world, no matter how important this battle is, it will not be an exaggeration to say that this battle is no matter how important.

"The king is trustworthy" Ran Min is cheeks twitched, feeling incredulous and extremely surprised: "The troops invested by the Han in this battle will not be less than 300,000, or even more.

Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou need to cooperate.

The king really wants to give the right of command to his ministers."

"Didn't Yongzeng say it" Liu Yan laughed for a while: "Conquering the battlefield is your strength." ” Ran Min's double pupils looked at Liu Yan fixedly, as if he wanted to see a flower, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said heavily: "The minister will definitely win this battle for the king."

Liu Yan immediately laughed heartily and reached out to help Ran Min up.

The reason why Ran Min was appointed to command the battle of Puyang County was actually not due to Liu Yan's personal wishes, on the contrary, it was Ji Chang and Sang Yu who took the lead in suggesting, and the rest of the people were persuaded after listening to their opinions.

It's not that those important ministers of the Han Dynasty trust Ran Min's loyalty, discipline, morality, etc., it's that the Han army really lacks battle-level commanders, and then Ran Min understands the military system of Shijie Zhao State, and is even more familiar with those generals who command the army.

The most important thing is that they must admit that Ran Min is really an expert in battle.

"The widow will give Yongzeng an account first."

Liu Yan looked around, not knowing how many pairs of eyes were staring here.

When his eyes focused on Ran Min again, he said: "Don't worry about the source of soldiers, and you don't need to worry about food and ordnance, as long as you can win this battle, you can always mention what you need." ” Ran Min is still full of confidence.

He had never heard that the Han army would lack any military supplies, and he also knew that the Han army was brave, and while nodding heavily to Liu Yan, he had to think: If he can win this battle, it will definitely not be too much to ask for a prince
