Han Dao world

Chapter 461 Zhao Yun's Discussion
Liu Xie's attitude was very firm, and he didn't give Ke Zui and Yan Rou any chance of luck.

What Xun You said is exactly what I mean.

Danhan Mountain has since been the territory of the Han Dynasty.If you are willing to become ministers, you must obey the court's arrangement, otherwise you will go far away and don't disturb people's dreams.

You don't even think about proclaiming yourself as a minister in name, but actually maintaining autonomy, and then taking the rewards from the court to strengthen yourself.

I will not do things like spending money to buy peace and raising tigers.

Ke Zui and Yan Rou went down, and Liu Xie continued to chat with Jia Xu and Duan Quan, as if what he said just now was just a trivial matter.

Jia Xu was a little uneasy. "Your Majesty, educating the grassland barbarians is a great cause for thousands of years. I'm afraid we can't rush it for a while, lest there will be changes."

"Sir, what you mean is that they turned to support Yuan Shao?"

"Yes."

"Then let them exterminate the clan with Yuan Shao, so as to save trouble." Liu Xie said lightly, "Educating Hulu barbarians is of course not just killing blindly, but it is impossible without killing. Liu Yu ruled Youzhou back then, and he was very calm. Is it not enough? But look at the current Youzhou, does it have any achievements in enlightenment?"

Jia Xu agreed with Liu Xie's opinion, but still felt that doing so was too hasty and would put pressure on Xun You.Xun You's great victory at Danhan Mountain had elements of a surprise attack. If too many enemies are made, it may not be possible to keep the vested results.

Liu Xie said that this is not only a test for Xun You, but also a test for Xun Yu.For Xun You, he wanted to control the grassland with limited troops.For Xun Yu, it is necessary to restore strength as soon as possible and provide Xun You with the necessary financial foundation.

Educating the barbarians is also a manifestation of the kingly way.Concentrating the strength of the three counties of Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang, still can't afford the tens of thousands of cavalry commanded by Xun You?If you can't do this at all, what is the kingly way?
Jia Xu couldn't help laughing, and then felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.

The emperor transferred the finances of Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang to Xun You, and the army led by Han Sui could only rely on Guanzhong and Liangzhou themselves, and the imperial court could not provide more support.

The Son of Heaven attaches so much importance to Huangzhong Road and Hexi Road, which shows that he has already made arrangements, but he has not realized it yet.

"Your Majesty, the household registrations in Hedong and Guanzhong are limited. Even if you plant a large number of mulberry trees, it may not be able to meet the needs of the trade routes. I think that the trade routes in Yizhou and Jingzhou may be opened up."

Liu Xie was not surprised at all, but he knew that although the textile industry in Yizhou and Jingzhou had potential, most of the silk products would go to Tianzhu instead of Liangzhou through the Southwest Road.

Although Jia Xu has wisdom, he does not have the perspective of God, and his overall understanding of this era has not yet reached that level.If he is not from Liangzhou himself, his field of vision will be even smaller.

For many people in the Kanto region, Liangzhou is a place outside of culture, dispensable, which is why some people have repeatedly proposed to abandon Liangzhou.Those who oppose abandoning Liangzhou only regard Liangzhou as a strategic frontier, not an indispensable territory for the Han Dynasty, let alone see Liangzhou's economic value to the Han Dynasty.

Everyone has time constraints.

Liu Xie accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and decided to send someone to Yizhou to have a look.

Yan Rou felt deflated in front of Liu Xie, and felt that she could not explain to Liu He and Ke Bi Neng when she went back, so she tried every means to ask Zhao Yun to see her.

Zhao Yun knew what he was thinking, and after consulting Liu Xie, he met with Yan Rou.

The two left the camp together on horseback and went hunting in the nearby mountains.

Yan Rou had no intention of shooting, but he was very surprised by Zhao Yun's riding and shooting.Zhao Yun's martial arts were already good, but now they are even better, almost hitting every shot.

"Zilong, why is this?" Yan Rou exclaimed.He is also a martial arts practitioner himself, and he knows that after reaching a certain level, it is very difficult to improve.

Zhao Yun laughed. "Zigang, how long have you practiced martial arts a day, and what kind of opponents are you?"

Yan Rou understood what Zhao Yun meant.It is not easy for him to insist on practicing martial arts every day, but he may not be able to find a comparable opponent.But there are many masters around the emperor, including Lu Bu among others, there are too many people who can compete with Zhao Yun.With such good conditions, anyone who is self-motivated will make progress.

The difference is only in the size of the progress, and that is determined by each person's talent.

Having figured this out, Yan Rou couldn't help being envious.

"Although we are well-known, we are all ordinary people after all." Zhao Yun took the reins, his expression focused. "How great a career can be achieved, the key is not myself, but how far the monarch we follow can go. The so-called climbing the dragon and following the horse, the power is small but the merit is great, that is the truth."

"Zilong thinks His Majesty is the Lord?"

"In five hundred years, there will be a sage." Zhao Yun turned to look at Yan Rou. "Zigang, I believe this sentence."

Yan Rou understood.In Zhao Yun's heart, the Son of Heaven is not only a wise master, but also a saint.He can do what others can't.

But think about it, if the emperor is not a saint, how can he fight back in a desperate situation, win the great victory in Huayin, defeat the Xianbei people one after another, and stabilize the frontier?

He was only a seventeen-year-old boy.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was famous as a hero, was still overwhelmed by Queen Mother Dou when he was seventeen years old.The following decades of conquests also exhausted the accumulation of seventy years of several generations.

In contrast, the Son of Heaven was able to reverse the situation in such a predicament, far surpassing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Even if you are not a saint, you are not too far from a saint.

Zhao Yun raised the bow in his hand and pointed to the distance. "Since Wei Huo came out of the fortress, the grasslands and the Western Regions have been included in our Han territory for more than three hundred years, but they have not been educated, allowing the barbarians to come and go. The emperor is determined to innovate and intends to go further and turn the barbarians into summer. How can we sit by and watch? "

Yan Rou said: "That being said, in a world of chaos, shouldn't we first consolidate the roots? If the Central Plains is uneasy, how can we run rampant outside the Great Wall? Back then when Wei Huo conquered the desert, it was based on the seventy years of accumulation of the Great Han Dynasty. "

Zhao Yun laughed. "That's where the dilemma has been for hundreds of years."

"Oh?"

"Money and food are of course indispensable for a large army to conquer. But with money and food, will we be able to win battles and conquer? Yuan Shao owns Jizhou, Liu Biao owns Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang owns Yizhou. They are all states with millions of households. But You must have seen their record."

"What about Yi Zilong's opinion?"

"Conquest is first of all on people." Zhao Yun pointed to his heart. "The military achievements of this dynasty have not been shown for hundreds of years. It is not because of the lack of money and food, but because of the lack of people. No matter how insufficient money and food are, how can they not be as good as the Xianbei and the Huns on the grassland? , Is it because of the abundance of food? It depends on the unity of the monarch and his ministers, and the joint efforts of the soldiers."

Yan Rou realized something and nodded repeatedly.

This point, he has personal experience.When Liu Yu raised troops to attack Gongsun Zan, he had a clear advantage in strength, but Liu Yu was pedantic and improperly commanded, so he was defeated by Gongsun Zan.When Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zan, their strength was often several times that of Gongsun Zan's, but it was very difficult to win.

In contrast, the record of the emperor defeating Luo Han with three thousand riders is simply unheard of.

Zhao Yun raised his carved bow and pointed to the vast grassland in the distance. "The grassland is bitter and cold, but I can go where the barbarians can go. Otherwise, why do you call yourself a gentleman? A gentleman does not eat all day long and sit and talk about the Tao. He is happy when he hears the Tao, and he starts to do it."
