Shu Chen

Chapter 243 Yue Kiln
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so what is lost is the mulberry elm that is harvested in the east.

Following the death of Cao Zhen, the great Sima of the State of Wei, and the retreat of tens of thousands of troops from Longyou, causing the temple to abandon Liangzhou, the news that made Cao Rui feel a little more at ease came later.

One is that the governor of Bingzhou claimed that Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Shuofang counties could be restored.

Since Kebi Neng and Budugen were punished last year, the Xianbei tribes lingering in the Hetao Plain, lacking the restraint of the tribal adults, fought against each other. Under the internal friction, many tribes sent envoys to submit, and the tribes of the Xiongnu Xiutu had long been The counties of Hetao, which surrendered to the Wei State and were thus abandoned, also ushered in the opportunity to be included in the territory of the Wei State.

In this regard, all the princes in Luoyang have suggested that it is advisable to ask the governor of Bingzhou.

Although it is said that Fu Zhujun is just a policy of restraint, and it is only a symbolic collection of tribute items, which is not directly proportional to the cost of investing in garrisons and management, but it is of great significance.

The Hetao Plain fell after the death of Emperor Hanling, and Wei Guojin's recovery of it is an act of establishing orthodox prestige.

At least in the eyes of Li Shu in Youbin Erzhou, Wei Guo's move is worthy of allegiance.

And ministers with strategy in mind, such as Jiang Ji and Chen Jiao, also linked the resettlement of the counties with the Northwest War.

The head of Xianbei Suo, who moved westward to the Xitao Plain (Ningxia), and its leader, Tuoba Liwei, won the battle against the allied forces of Xianbei's bald and begging tribes and the Xiongnu Hu Bojuzhi under the advantage of obtaining a large number of sophisticated ordnance from Wei. .It took less than a year to seize all the pastures on which the three tribes depended for survival and force them to surrender.

The ambitious Tuoba Liwei changed the tribe's species name to Tuoba, and continued to show favor to the Wei State's tribute war horses for mutual market, in order to accumulate power and try to annex more tribes, and rule Hetao.

This also made Wei Guoxin vigilant.

They don't want to usher in another "Ke Bineng" dominating the north.

Therefore, Jiang Ji and others suggested that under the current situation that the Wei State could not form a strong and powerful rule over Hetao, they re-recorded the merits of Liu Bao, the left sage king of the Xiongnu, who followed the expedition, appointed him as the guardian of Shuofang, and transferred his tribe to live in Shuofang County. It became a barrier for the Tuoba Liwei tribe to continue eastward.

It is a common method of checks and balances: Xianbei is strong and supports the Huns, and vice versa.

Let Hetao always maintain the situation of "two heroes contending".

Even, if the two compete with each other for a long time, they will compete to invite Wei Guo to favor them in order to get more supplies.In an emergency, Wei Guo can use this reason to conscript their clansmen to Suizheng Longyou for free!

No need to worry, Liu Bao saw through Wei Guo's intentions, and excused himself from going to Shuofang.

After the Southern Huns were divided into five divisions by Wei Wu Cao Cao, the person who was awarded the decision-making of the internal affairs of the Huns was the Youxian King Qubei, and each division was supervised by the Han Sima appointed by the Wei State.Liu Bao's father, Yu Fuluo, had died a long time ago, and his uncle Shan Yu Huchuquan was "favored" and was pampered in Luoyang, which made his power in the Southern Huns very weak.

Although he is honored as Zuo Xianwang, the tribe he leads is only the Zuo tribe (one of the five Xiongnu tribes).

Letting him go to Shuofang is to tacitly allow him to annex other wandering small tribes and grow stronger, just like a trapped dragon emerging from a deep abyss.With the support of Wei Guo, it is only against the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, how can he say that he is reluctant!

Another thing that made Cao Rui feel at ease was the battle report from Liaodong.

Thanks to the Soochow ship's surprise attack across the sea last year in Liaodong, which captured countless people and brought them back, Jiangdong will repeat the old trick again at the beginning of spring this year.

Unexpectedly, Xia Siyue rushed to Liaohe, only to find that the Wei State had been fortified and cleared, and many Li Shu had been moved inward.

According to the common sense of military strategists, under the preparedness of Wei State, Wu State's navy should retreat.

However, Sun Xinian, the deputy of the imperial family, was so strong that he was unwilling to return with nothing. He led more than [-] people from the headquarters to search the surrounding areas to see if there were any villages or horse grazing lands that could be looted.

Immediately, he was attacked by a general of the Wei State, leading more than two hundred horsemen, and killed three out of ten.

Quite a coincidence, this general's surname is Zhang Minghu, the son of the late Zhang Liao.

Because he came to Liaodong with Sima Yi's conquest of Gongsun, he was left behind to guard the border because of his excellent riding and fighting skills, guarding against Goguryeo and other Dongyi such as North Korea, Yejiao, Yilou and Puyu.

What makes Cao Rui even more comforting is the news that the detailed work has returned.

Li Shu rebellions are everywhere in Wu!
For example, Li Huan and Lu He from Luling, Sui Chun from Dongye, and Luo Li from Nanhai gathered together to kill officials and turned against them, each with no less than ten thousand people.

Although, among the various ministries of the rebellion, Shanyue, who had never surrendered to Sun Wu, coerced him into causing trouble.

But so many people joined forces all at once, because Li Shu couldn't bear Sun Wuke's miscellaneous taxes.

In order to stabilize Jiangdong, Wu State chose to compromise with aristocratic families and has a special system of raising soldiers in Huajun and counties, so that the people of Li and common people were exploited on multiple levels.

Tired all the year round, but hard to keep up with food and clothing.

The hardship of livelihood is even more difficult than that of Wei State.

At a time when the three countries are frequently fighting each other with troops, it is reasonable for them to gather a crowd and turn against them.

For this, Wei Guo was naturally happy.

At least within this year, there is no need to worry that Sun Wu will enter Kou Xu and Yang states.

At the same time, I also feel sorry.

If the State of Wei hadn't made frequent conquests in these years, taking advantage of the turmoil in Sun Wuduo County, it could be attacked with a large army.

Even if the land and the people are not returned, Sun Wu can be exhausted between facing the battle and fighting the rebellion; the war will increase the burden on Jiangdong's people, induce more rebellions, and then let Jiangdong enter a dead cycle of poverty and weakness.

Thieves are easy to level, but people's hearts are hard to recover.

It's really a pity.

However, what Cao Rui didn't know was that Jiang Dong really got what he wanted.

Sun Quan was forced to pay too little tax and insufficient military expenses, so he followed the example of the late emperor Liu Bei's "worth a hundred coins" and cast big coins saying: "Daquan five hundred". .The implementation of this money not only means that Li Shu will usher in a more difficult life, but even powerful families are listed as objects of plundering wealth.

Sun Quan was clear about this, and didn't hesitate much.

Almost all the fertile land in Jiangdong is in the hands of powerful families, and the government has very little food and fodder to collect.

In the past, when Zhou Yu was still alive, the strategy of "casting mountains into copper and boiling seas into salt" to enrich the country, which was once proposed, became more and more impossible to carry out. With the death of Yuan Cong's meritorious service and many old officials in Jiangbei, the Jiangdong family gradually took control of the counties and counties. Authority, the benefits of salt and iron (copper) have also been tampered with openly and secretly.

This is the price for the Sun family to become the lord of Jiangdong.

Since Sun Ce was assassinated to death, the Sun family and the aristocratic family have found a way to get along that is acceptable to both of them.

They support the Sun family's power in Jiangdong, and the Sun family protects and repays their interests.

Otherwise, they have no shortage of clan heritage and talents, so why don't they admire Wei's "nine-rank official system" and scramble to lure Wei's army into Jiangdong?

Of course, the big man will not worry about Sun Quan's troubles about Jiangdong.

The prime minister in Longyou dispatched various troops to march into Liangzhou this year, and he did not plan to invite Wu Guo to join forces to attack Wei.The right Zhonglang General Zong was sent to Wu as an envoy to discuss the purchase of Yue kiln celadon, in order to divide the Haoyou and Qianghu tribes in the Hexi Corridor.

　Unified reply: Writing books is a hobby, and work is life, so when I am busy at work, I will stop updating.The guarantee I can give everyone is that the book will not be cut. In order for the prime minister to conquer the Central Plains, it must be finished, but the update frequency is uncertain, please forgive me.

　　Thanks to the leader of "Brother Tao in a Little Padded Jacket".
