...

Seeing that Yue Fei really wanted to retire, Zhu Wu decided to tell Yue Fei something that Yue Fei didn't know yet.

Zhu Wu led Yue Fei to the map, and said, "Pengju, do you know why the officials brought the capital to Yanjing?"

Yue Fei actually had some guesses in his mind, but he still replied formulaically: "Isn't the emperor guarding the gate of the country, and the king dying in the country?"

Zhu Wu glanced at Yue Fei, and then said: "It's not wrong for you to say that, but, based on your understanding of the officials, Yue Pengju, I really think that the officials will honestly wait for those grassland kingdoms and tribes to come to fight for the big ones." in?"

Yue Fei heard the words, and asked calmly: "The old commander said that the officials may send troops to the grassland?"

Zhu Wudao: "It's not possible, but definitely."

Without waiting for Yue Fei to ask the reason, Zhu Wu took the initiative to say: "Do you know how many people there are at most in a tribe?"

Yue Fei said: "This...you can't say for sure, there are a few dozen people, and there are hundreds of thousands or millions. Like the Xiongnu and Turks, there were more than a few million in their heyday."

Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "You are wrong. Relying on acquaintances, such as relatives and friends, a tribe can only have a maximum of 150 people. If there are more, it will definitely split."

Yue Fei said differently: "How is this possible, what happened to those large tribes with a large number of people?"

Zhu Wudao: "These big tribes are actually formed by the union of those small tribes. To put it simply, the leaders of the big tribes got the approval of the leaders of the small tribes, and then let the leaders of the small tribes lead their people to follow the big tribes. Take the Xiongnu as an example, the birth of the Xiongnu was actually largely brought about by Qin’s unification of the six kingdoms.”

Yue Fei had never heard of Zhu Wu's point of view, so he couldn't help but ask, "How could it be caused by the Qin Empire?"

Zhu Wu explained: "Before the Qin State unified the six countries, nomads actually existed. In order to survive, nomads also need food and other daily necessities. In order to obtain these materials, trade and war are the two most basic means. Obviously, the cost of the former is lower. Therefore, during the Warring States period, this kind of trade existed frequently, because the grassland had an inherent advantage, that is, the horses of the grassland were much better than those of the Central Plains. In order to win the war, the six countries urgently needed a lot of In this way, the trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands went smoothly. But after Qin unified the six countries, this situation changed, and the main body of trade changed. The Qin Empire, as a unified empire, began to interfere in trade , lower prices, or even shut down trade. This is very difficult for those tribes on the grassland, because once trade is closed, the only way to obtain supplies is war. But traditional nomadic tribes, at most There are only 150 people, which is incomparable with the army in the Central Plains. But they have to survive. Therefore, under this situation, it is necessary for the nomads to unite and establish a large tribe."

Yue Fei understood a little bit, and said: "The old commander said that after the government unifies the Central Plains, it will unify the kingdoms and tribes on the grassland, and then there will be a war between the two sides?"

Zhu Wu nodded, and said again: "This is only from the perspective of the grassland kingdom and the tribe, this battle is inevitable. In fact, from the perspective of our Dazhong, this battle is also inevitable."

After a pause, Zhu Wu continued: "Often the emperors of the Central Plains Empire rely on the bureaucracy to govern the country, but they will never be able to prevent the bureaucrats from using their positions for personal gain, unless the emperor's ability and prestige are strong enough to check and balance the bureaucracy. , often the first two or three generations of emperors who founded the country have this ability, and the subsequent emperors can only live in the deep palace all their lives, have never seen the world, and do not know how to deal with the bureaucracy, so the dynasty will be ruled by the bureaucracy Kidnapping, so that the bureaucracy will become a parasite, and then disrupt the dynasty. At that time, if the dynasty wants to continue to exist, it can only walk within the frame drawn by the previous emperors, that is, by the so-called The "law of the ancestors" closed the dynasty, but in this way, it will be difficult to make progress. Therefore, the officials who have already understood these things want to eliminate the hidden dangers as much as possible in his dynasty, and let everyone China and North Korea last longer."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Wu looked at Yue Fei, and said, "The above words are all told to me by the officials."

Yue Fei tasted it for a while, and then said sincerely: "The officials are really far-sighted!"

Zhu Wudao: "It's up to you to say, if the officials hadn't been so far-sighted, how could Dazhong have the prosperity it is today?"

Zhu Wu said again: "Actually, the officials began to study grassland tribes a long time ago, so they made the very far-sighted decision to move the capital."

After a pause, Zhu Wu continued: "The officials once said that dealing with grassland tribes must not be left alone, otherwise they will definitely unite and become a disaster that the Central Plains dynasty cannot solve. To control the grassland, political means must be used first. Disintegrate them so that they cannot be unified, but political means are by no means the only means. When necessary, troops must be sent to beat them up and break them up, so that they can return to those small tribes of 150 people. No harm."

This time, Yue Fei fully understood that sooner or later, the Chinese army will send troops to the grassland like the Han army and Tang army, and he will have the opportunity to seal the wolf and live in Xuxu and win the highest honor of a general like the Western Han general Huo Qubing.

moment!

Yue Fei found a new purpose in life!
To be honest, although the achievements made are not small, both the Song Army and the Dali Army are too weak. For Yue Fei, there is no challenge at all. Can arouse Yue Fei's fighting enthusiasm, or seal the wolf and live in Xu is the goal that Yue Fei strives for.

After his blood was aroused by Zhu Wu, Yue Fei couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said, "Old man, you know, once we send troops to the grassland, who will the officials plan to lead the troops to go to?"

Zhu Wudao: "How big is the grassland? How can there be only one way to fight?"

Hearing this, Yue Fei rubbed his hands together and said, "Can Yue Fei lead the army all the way?"

Zhu Wu glanced at Yue Fei and said, "Aren't you planning to retire?"

Yue Fei hurriedly said: "Yue Fei has just passed his thirties, so don't worry about retiring!"

While speaking, Yue Fei hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Wu, and then delivered it to Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu took the teacup Yue Fei handed over, took another look at Yue Fei, took a sip, and then slowly said: "The officials once said that in terms of offensive and field capabilities, you, Yue Pengju, belong to the No. , combined with the officials protecting you time and time again, if you don’t return to seclusion and return to Beijing to stay for a period of time, once a war breaks out, you will definitely be able to lead the way.”

Hearing Zhu Wu's words, Yue Fei felt relieved—Zhu Wu never speaks in vain, and Zhu Wu is one of Li Yan's most trusted people, and Zhu Wu is also one of Li Yan's think tanks, so Zhu Wu dared to do this. Said, this matter is eight or nine times out of ten, it will not be bad.

Zhu Wu finally concluded: "So, after you return to Beijing this time, you should keep a low profile. You can read more books and study the strategy of the grassland area. Believe me, you will definitely have another time to lead the army. When you arrive there At that time, you, Yue Pengju, may become the general who seals the wolf and lives in the Dazhong Dynasty!"
