Shu Chen

Chapter 17
"Send a large army to attack, and punish those who fail to do so and pardon them."

Zheng Pu first bowed his head to pay tribute to Ma Su, and then said, "The advantages and disadvantages of joining the army have been explained before, so I don't need to go into details. I used to think in Sangyuan, that there are four strategies for military expeditions, which are divided into 'beheading, eradication, and division. , Tweet' four o'clock."

Having said that, he poured himself a glass of wine, got up and left the table, pacing and talking.

"One, the beheading is for Zhu Baoye of Zhuo County!"

"The Han and Yi tribes in the county are many and mixed, and the stars are densely spread like scattered sand, which is difficult to form a climate. Now the rebellion is in the county, and they are all wrapped up in the ears of Zhu Baoen! If the court chooses a good general, leads the army to kill the first evil Zhu Bao, Shen Rende pardons the rest, and then appoints good officials to comfort and persuade Nongsang, the county can be at peace!”

"Secondly, the root cause is to be determined by the King of Yueshangyi!"

"The barbarian Gaoding, who has never been a subject to the imperial court, has repeatedly dispatched troops to disturb all parties, and now he kills the county general Jiao Huang to rebel. His crime cannot be forgiven! If the imperial court sends a large army to attack, it should destroy his bloodline and set an example! Then, their clansmen and their family members, women and children were confiscated into official slaves, and they all migrated to Shuzhong or Hanzhong, to leave their land and cut them off as the foundation of disaster! After migration, they became military households for generations, and their bloodlines never ceased! The poor will settle the fields, the women will be diligent in sangma, and the children will shepherd the animals. Then they will be governed by Qin law, so that they will have hope in their hearts, and they will beheaded with the expedition to record merits, behead one, and pardon one family member!"

"In addition, the mountains of Yuezhang County are dangerous and dangerous, and the rest of the Yi tribes hide in deep valleys, mountains and swamps, and it is difficult to destroy them. Moreover, the elder clan chiefs and their clansmen are all afraid of majesty but not virtuous. On! What I am thinking is that they are greedy for money and profit, and they can raise money and money to be their soldiers, capture the strong and brave in their clan, so that their clan will no longer have the power to rebel, and their roots will be cut off!"

"Third, differentiation is for the eight surnames of the Southerners!"

At this point, when he finished speaking, Zheng Pu suddenly lowered his face and bowed his hands to the three Ma Su present at the table, "Pu's discussion will involve the Governor of Yujiang and other southerners, and please don't speak out. Otherwise, There may be assassins in Pu's house like the spring rain, and they are in constant panic all day long!"

When everyone heard the words, they were all speechless.

It was Ma Su, who had been prominent for a long time, who was the first to react.

Immediately, Huo Ran stood up, and his voice was like Xia Lei's chirping, "Zijin is at ease, I and the others are not pranksters! Furthermore, Zijin is arguing for the country and is worried about sharing with the country, so why should I worry about evil? , I can't take care of Zijin comprehensively, but I will definitely report today's theory to the Prime Minister, so that the younger generation has no chance to take advantage of it!"

Zhang Biao followed closely, reassuringly, and promised not to say anything.

And that Liu Yin was even more interesting.

He pretended to be drunk, got up and gave the three of them a salute, "Ma joined the army, Boda, Zijin, I'm drunk for a while! Let's say goodbye first!"

He was actually trying to make excuses for greedy cups, so he avoided the banquet!

And as soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for others to respond, he lifted his robe and strode out.

It also made Zheng Pu stunned for a while, and then he hurriedly chased after him, grabbed his sleeve, and smiled bitterly on his face, "If brother Xiuran resigns like this, I will be trapped in dishonesty! Please come to the table, you all believe in brother Xiuran. I also hope that Brother Xiuran will not let it go.”

"What is Zijin doing?"

Liu Yin, whose sleeves were pulled, quickly turned around and explained, "I'm not annoyed by Zijin's instructions, but I'm worried that I will be greedy for cups in the future, and I will frame Zijin for the disadvantage of being drunk. Ear!"

"Hahaha, Xiuran is really a wonderful person!"

Seeing the two pulling together, Ma Su couldn't help laughing loudly. After giving a loud compliment, he persuaded him, "If you can avoid the banquet, it shows your self-restraint! Why worry about drinking and doing evil in the future?"

Oh.
This remark is also saying, I shall not indulge in evil in the future?
Liu Yin was dumbfounded when she heard the words.

But in the end, it was still half pushed, and Zhang Biao was dragged into the seat, and continued to sit and listen.

After a commotion, Zheng Pu stopped acting and continued to talk freely about what was in his heart.

"Southern people with eight surnames have strong roots and strong roots in Nanzhong. They have always been in the same spirit, sharing honor and disgrace. If they follow the laws of the court, it will be a blessing for the court! But if the heart is unrestrained, then the court will be a disaster! I secretly thought that we could take advantage of the differences between the eight surnames and divide them!

"It is permissible to hold official titles and titles, with the commander-in-chief of Yujiang as the general, and the rest of the people who are still instructed by the imperial court to attack the rebellion of Yongkai and others! Let them fight within each other, and consume each other's tribes and resources through warfare! Strategy, tame the rest. At that time, the power of the eight surnames will be exhausted, and they will have to rely on the court, and it will not be repeated! Again, you can support the rest of the small surnames of the southern people, grant them officials, show their positions, establish their prestige, let The situation of the Southerners has broken down again. As a result, the Southerners of all surnames, who want to gain power and enrich themselves, all bow their heads and ask the court!"

After this conversation, Ma Su and others all acted in a sullen state.

Without him, Zheng Pu's plan would be a no-brainer plan!Malicious!

Although he said that he also used the trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the barrel to the barbarians in Yuezhang County to break the foundation for the barbarians to rebel again, but they were all rebels after all.

Punish it, it's not wrong.

In response to Yong Kai's rebellion, Zheng Pu had even counted Li Hui, the governor of Yu's surrender, and other southerners who did not rebel!

Not guilty, but also punish its roots!
Erase the threat that Nangu has continued to rise for hundreds of years!

There is no right or wrong, regardless of loyalty, only to see if it is beneficial to the court!
After listening to Zhang Biao and Liu Yin, they looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

They are all native scholars in Yizhou, and they have nothing to do with the eight surnames of the South.However, when I heard that the forces of the Southerners could fall apart, I couldn't avoid the feeling of sadness in my heart.

However, as a scholar from Jingxiang, Ma Su felt very happy!

In particular, when he discussed Nanzhong with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang before, he also put forward a similar suggestion: attack the heart.

That's why he felt a confidant for Zheng Pu.

"Zijin's theory is really deafening!"

Unstintingly praised, Ma Su got up and left the table, strode over to hold Zheng Pu's hand, his face full of spring breeze, "Zijin is really as Qin Xiaowei asserted, he has the ability to plan! It's really a blessing for me as a big man! Hahaha~~~ ~~”

Of course, Zheng Pu once again uttered his humble words with a modest look on his face.

However, he was overjoyed in his heart: after seeing Ma Su's words, the examination school in the Prime Minister's Mansion can be considered a peace of mind.

When he saw that the setting sun was already shining into the hall, he handed over to everyone to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, his hand was caught by Ma Su once, and his voice urgently urged, "Zijin, what about fourth?

"Pushing grace is to imitate the "Tui grace decree" that the master father Yan planned for Emperor Wu in the past. However, I have not thought about it yet."

Zheng Pu pulled out his hand, bowed to the crowd, and strode away.
