Youzhou, the snow left over from winter has gradually melted, Macheng is at the junction of Shanggu County and the grassland, this time of the year, is also the most lively time in Macheng, the merchants who travel between the Central Plains and the grassland will be supplied here, and the Karasuma people will also be active in this area, or grazing, or do some other things, such as collecting some profits with the caravan of the Han people, which is already an unwritten rule in Macheng, and most merchants are also willing to pay some goods to avoid disasters, and everyone is safe.
It's just that at this time, the whole Macheng, how can you still feel a trace of the warm atmosphere of the previous years, Macheng is dozens of miles around, on the large plain, the silence can't even be heard by birds, from time to time you can see a few corpses in the field that have been dead for an unknown amount of time, the more you go in the direction of Macheng, the more serious this situation is.
There are Hu people, but there are also many Han merchants, all the way to Macheng, in addition to the thick dead air, the rest, there is only an indescribable stench to the sky.
The pungent smell of "cough cough" impacted Liu Yu's sense of smell, and his old face showed a somewhat painful look, some were choked, and the scene in front of him was really chilling. has been in Youzhou for many years, and he is used to seeing killing, but when he saw the scene in front of him, Liu Yu couldn't help but be angry.
The Hu people are just that, and they don't even let go of the Han traders "At the beginning of the month, Gongsun Chan attacked Liucheng, but the Karasuma people knew the news in advance, suspecting that some of these traders had reported the news, causing Gongsun Chan to lose a lot of soldiers and horses, Gongsun Chan was angry, and slaughtered Macheng, regardless of Hu Han, all of them were killed, resulting in Macheng becoming a dead city."
Xian Yufu helped Liu Yu to follow his breath on horseback, while explaining to Liu Yu.
He naturally knows Liu Yu's mood, the reason why this horse city is prosperous, it can be said that Liu Yu single-handedly promoted, from the middle of the peace period to start the business, it has been nearly 20 years, there is a prosperous horse city, Liu Yu's influence, is also a little bit of penetration into Karasuma, according to Liu Yu's plan, like this, in another ten years, you can be able to completely assimilate Karasuma without a single soldier.
It's a pity that Gongsun Zhan killed him, and he was happy, but he wasted Liu Yu's twenty years of hard work.
"The reckless man misunderstood me," Liu Yu said.
Behind Liu Yu, a group of Youzhou civil and military silent, the people of the north are fierce, especially in this kind of border land, perennial troubles, but also make the people of Youzhou more worshipful Gongsun Zhan such a decisive general, on the contrary, Liu Yu over the years, so that the people of Youzhou have enough food and clothing, not many people can see it, even fewer people agree, in this Youzhou, everyone believes in fists, Liu Yu's set, if there is no Gongsun Zhan, maybe you can eat it, but now, Gongsun Chan is more and more powerful, and Liu Yu is in Youzhou, but no one values it.
"My lord."
After Xian Yufu hesitated, he took two steps forward to help Liu Yu lead the war horse back and leave the range of this horse city, and at this moment, there is no need to enter this horse city again.
While pulling Liu Yu's horse reins back, Xian Yufu said worriedly: "Your Majesty has issued an edict, please return to the court, I heard that Your Majesty is now quite a trend to revitalize the dynasty, the lord is a member of the Han family, after entering the court, why worry about not being reused, why bother in this bitter cold place, and compete with that Gongsun Zhan for a while" Liu Yu is proficient in internal affairs, and Liu Xie now wants to revitalize the Han family, if Liu Yu enters the court to assist, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings, but after Liu Yu accepted the edict, he unexpectedly refused.
Xian Yufu has followed Liu Yu for many years, and he knows very well that Liu Yu's character is by no means greedy for power in Youzhou, if this is the case, after returning to the dynasty, with Liu Yu's fame and ability, why worry about the power and even Yuan Shao once wanted to set up Liu Yu as the emperor, but was also categorically rejected by Liu Yu, how is this greedy for power but why, Xian Yufu does not know.
"Your Majesty's kindness, I don't know" Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Your Majesty is not optimistic about me, worried that I will be harmed by that Gongsun Zhan." ” Xian Yufu nodded silently, even the Son of Heaven who was far away in Chang'an could see that he was in Youzhou, so he naturally knew better the gap between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan in military affairs in Youzhou.
"It's more than that."
Liu Yu sighed, looked at the distant sky, and took a deep breath: "If I am really killed by Gongsun, it is equivalent to giving Yuan Shao an excuse to enter Youzhou, and when the time comes, it will be Your Majesty, and you will not be able to balance, so you can only watch Gongsun Chan be destroyed by Yuan Shao." ” "Yuan Shao may not be extinguished."
Xian Yufu shook his head, he disagreed, before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge last year, Gongsun Chan almost followed Yuan Shao's fierce work, even if he was defeated in the end, if Yuan Shao could have the strength to reverse in just one year, Xian Yufu would never believe it.
"Don't underestimate that Yuan Benchu."
Liu Xie said with a smile: "Although Gongsun Bozhan is strong, he is strong outside, and the people's livelihood in Youzhou is withering, and he can't afford to fight for a long time, but Gongsun Chan is stubborn and self-serving, and he doesn't know how to compromise, Yuan Shao has a temporary defeat, but he loses, but Gongsun Chan is different, if he loses again, it will be the time of his demise." ” "That" Xian Yufu didn't understand anymore, and frowned and looked at Liu Yu: "In this case, why does the lord insist on staying in this Youzhou?"
Isn't that waiting for death?
"Twenty years of hard work, how can you throw it away like this" Liu Yu shook his head and sighed: "Ordinary people only think that the chaos in the world of the Han family is chaotic internally, and the princes are divided, but a few people know that the biggest enemy of the Han family is not the princes, but outside this country." ” "Hu Ren" Xian Yufu smiled disdainfully: "It's Gongsun Zhan, but if you occupy half of the county, you can beat the Hu people and don't dare to look south, and the lord will inevitably look down on them too much." ” This is also Liu Yu's unpopular side, always looking at Hu Ren too much.
"If I don't look at it, it's really this beard that kills endlessly."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Now that I am in civil strife in the Central Plains, Hu Er is recuperating and growing, my Han national strength is in the conquest of the princes, the population, money and food are constantly being consumed, and the Hu people are quietly growing." ” Liu Yu shook his head and said: "When the old man took office, the Karasuma was only 50,000 people, but now it looks like there are 100,000 people who control the strings, these years, the old man tried to assimilate the Hu people with the culture of the Central Plains, who knows that the work of 20 years, but it was broken by Gongsun Mangfu, all the previous plans, all in vain, at this time the old man can not go." ” "The general can know why Hu Er is so weak" Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Xian Yufu.
"The Hu people don't know the art of war, they only know how to plunder, whether it is equipment or tactics, they are far from me."
Xian Yufu said with a smile.
"If you don't know the art of war, you can learn it, and you can refine it if your equipment is not refined, but the real reason is that my Han has been restricting Hu'er's development all along."
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Whether it is salt, iron or weapons and armor, although they trade with foreign countries, they will never let them grow, every time they dare to resist, they will be immediately suppressed, over time, they are naturally afraid of my Han like a tiger, and their lifeblood is controlled by my Han, so it is not that Hu Er is weak, but that my Han is weakening Hu Er in various ways." ” Xian Yufu suddenly remembered that although Liu Yu had always adopted a soft policy towards the outside world before, but when he thought about it carefully, he was cruelly scraping the bones of the Hu people and drinking their blood when the Hu people were willing.
A war horse can be sold for 30,000 or even more in the Central Plains, but only 3,000 or even lower goods are needed to buy it here, and the Hu people have to buy it, because they are all things necessary for the survival of the Hu people, such as salt and iron, and Liu Yu takes advantage of the huge profits in it to vigorously develop the people's livelihood, so that Youzhou is now rich.
Thinking about it, it really makes such a truth, it doesn't cost a single soldier, but it can make Hu people cut flesh and scrape bones, this strategy is obviously much more clever than Gongsun Zhan's effect of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred, at this time, looking at this old man, his heart became more and more respectful.
"Since Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, for four hundred years, although the Hu people have been beaten by our Han every time, they have never been extinct, the grassland is too big, and it is not easy to eradicate it, so we can only use this means to weaken them little by little."
Liu Yu sighed: "However, if there is a big chaos today, the princes are busy with the civil war and are too busy to take care of themselves, but it also gives the Hu people a chance to grow."
Liu Yu glanced at the generals, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes: "Imagine if after ten years, twenty or even fifty years, my Han Dynasty is reunified, no matter who gets this world, what is left behind is only a broken world society, and if the Hu people are not restricted, after all these years of development, they will inevitably grow unprecedentedly, and at that time, it will be the real disaster of our Han family." ” "Gongsun Zan is just for his own use, sooner or later he will be killed by Yuan Shao, and because of this, the old man can't go" Liu Yu took a deep breath: "There are some things, just like the tinder, the old man must leave it, no matter who gets Youzhou in the future, as long as he follows the experience that the old man has summed up over the years, he can always weaken the Hu people step by step, so as not to make them rampant." ” "Your Majesty has the ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, and also has the ability and courage to revive the Han Dynasty, very good, my Han family is in this troubled era, and it is the luck of the Han family to produce such an emperor.
Liu Yu took a deep breath: "As for the old man, he is already in his last years, even if he returns to the dynasty, it will not be of great use, it is better to stay here, for my Han family, for these hundreds of thousands of Youzhou people, at this time, I want to Huairou, it is no longer possible, next, I am afraid to follow the example of Gongsun Boju, with a tough face to Hu'er, but I don't know, generals, whether you are willing to accompany my old body and fight again" Xian Yufu and others were enthusiastic by Liu Yu's words, looking at Liu Yu's eyes at this moment, flashing with crazy faith, and said loudly: "The lord has such ambitions, we are courtiers, if we retreat at this time, wouldn't it be underestimated by the world, the lord can rest assured, it is to fight for this life, we are also willing to die on the battlefield for the lord, not to seek fame and prestige in front of others, but to ask the horse leather shroud to return to his hometown" t1706231537:
