Wei Ni

Conquer their chiefs, divide their power, and move their followers.

The most valuable reference for how to arrange the surrounding Hu people is Wei Wu and Cao Cao's treatment of the southern Xiongnu.

Instead, they were divided into five divisions: left, right, south, north, and middle. They were placed in separate enclosures. The nobles were appointed as commanders, but Han people were sent to supervise the ministries. Finally, in the name of the temple, Shanyu Huchuquan was left to live in Yecheng. Don't send King You Xian to Bei Jianguo, so that the northern frontier will no longer have the trouble of the southern Xiongnu.

At least, so far, the Southern Xiongnu tribes are still obeying the advice of Wei.

But Xia Houhui felt that this moment was the other moment.

When the Southern Xiongnu were settled, the Wei State was still Wei Wu and Cao Cao became king. It was the time when he was busy eliminating dissidents and preparing for the foundation of the Han Dynasty. There was no conscription or migration to the Southern Xiongnu. Now that the world's structure has been decided, although Shu and Wu are not vassals, the powerful Wei State has the dawn of unifying the world.

Furthermore, in the past, the Southern Xiongnu were so powerful that they could not be compared to tribal leaders like the Xieguini and Daihualangni tribes, whose total number of settlers was only over 20,000.

Therefore, Xia Houhui thought that he could incorporate them more forcefully.

For example, in the name of rewarding them for their battle to ping the city, the two of them were recruited to settle in the capital. They were generously endowed with wealth and wealth, and they and their children were given high honors, generous salaries, and honors to reassure them.

Then, many of the tribes were registered and registered as households, broken into parts, and sent to Yangzhou and Xuzhou, which are now sparsely populated, or to the north of Jingzhou to be granted land and resettled. At most two thousand households could be settled in a county, and their connections were cut off by different ownerships. The strong were recruited as soldiers and the weak as citizens, and fame and permanent property were used to eliminate their homesickness. Finally, they were given Han surnames, and officials set up schools to teach them Han etiquette, gradually changing their customs. After a few decades, they all regarded themselves as sons of the Han family.
Just like in the past, when Cao Cao of the Wei Dynasty conquered Wuhuan in the north, he brought back many Wuhuan tribes and resettled them. But now when Xia Houhui saw Qian Hong commanding a thousand Wuhuan cavalry when he was in Bingzhou, he still insisted on Kunfa and There are very few old customs such as wearing hair for clothing and sacrificing food before eating!

And by doing this, there is no need to worry that Xie Gui Ni and Dai Hua Lang Ni will resist.

Tian Yu, who is very famous in northern Xinjiang, is still in Bingzhou!
After the Battle of Macheng in the past, Tian Yu only led more than a hundred people out of the fortress and entered the Wuhuan tribe. He directly beheaded the leader Gu Jin and made his younger brother Gu Jin lead the tribe on his behalf. However, nearly ten thousand Luo tribe members were silent about this and did not dare to do so. Disobey half a point.

Now Kirby can be beheaded, and Budugen has been killed.

Having seen the Wei Guo Luoyang Central Army's Xie Gui Ni and Dai Hu A Lang Ni, how dare they disrespect the orders of the Wei Guo Temple under Tian Yu's nose!

Naturally, when moving their two tribes inland, they must also learn from the lessons learned by the Southern Huns after they annexed them.

After the Southern Xiongnu annexed the territory, the old land of the Hetao Plain where it was located was occupied by the Xianbei. Those who were unwilling to migrate also became members of the western Xianbei in disguise. As a result, Wei Guoyou and the two states were invaded all year round.

Therefore, Xia Houhui also suggested emigrating people to guard the border.

It not only followed the practice of Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty in filling the fields with criminals, prisoners, poor tenants, etc., but also redeemed one's life and granted fields to lure the scholars to live in Budugen and return to their hometown in Bingzhou, thus preventing the Southern Xiongnu tribe from infiltrating and seizing power. .

Moreover, the migration of the scholar family can also benefit Tianyu's plan to merge the state and restore the Hetao Plain into the territory of Wei.

My mouth went dry for a while before I finally said what was on my mind.

Xia Houhui held the ceremony and said in a sincere tone, "Your Majesty, this is what I am thinking of. I also thought that if we did not seize the power of the great victory in the Northern Expedition to Xianbei and conquer Xieguini and other chiefs to enter the court, I might It won’t happen again in the future.”

But unexpectedly, Emperor Cao Rui, who had just listened, still closed his eyes and twisted his beard to listen, without responding.

It seems that he is still looking forward to what Xia Houhui will say next.

When Xia Houhui saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that I missed something in my proposal?

He was so introspective in his heart.

After secretly carefully considering his words, he suddenly realized that what he just said was nonsense to Emperor Cao Rui!
How could the emperor Cao Rui, who had been smart since childhood, not think of the method he proposed?

All the princes in the temple and Gungun are people who have been immersed in power for a long time, and An Neng is a mediocre person!

The reason why the emperor Cao Rui asked him for advice was not because he didn't know how to prevent the danger of raising tigers, but because he asked him if there was any way to resolve the resistance in the temple and put it into practice smoothly!
Yes, resistance from the temple.

Although Wei's national power can be said to be strong, the losses caused by endless wars and the large-scale construction projects in the years before Cao Rui succeeded to the throne have already made the country's finances difficult and the treasury empty.

Among the princes in the temple, there are many who are experienced in seeking the country.

They can distinguish between immediate needs and eternal interests.

For the Wei State today, the top priority is to use grain and fodder resources to maintain the armies of Yongliang, Jingxiang and Huainan; the most beneficial thing for a hundred generations is to reduce the tax as much as possible, allowing Li Shu to work on farming, multiplying and multiplying, and to restore the number of people as soon as possible. The population lost due to ten years of war.

The people are the foundation of the country.

As the number of Li common people increased, taxes and military resources also increased, and the national power naturally increased.

Although the method mentioned by Xia Houhui just now can prevent future chaos between Xie Guini and the others, in the process of implementation, it will run counter to Wei's top priority.

To put it bluntly, they just want to relocate and resettle more than 20,000 Xianbei people across prefectures and counties. The loss of financial and material resources is too great!

It was so big that the temple princes felt that it was not conducive to the maintenance of the garrison in various places.

After all, the Luoyang Chinese Army's Northern Expedition to Xianbei and the pacification of the rebellion in Anding County consumed a lot of military expenditures. After the war, the rewards for the soldiers, the pensions for the dead, post-war local reconstruction, and Tian Yu also had to manage Bingzhou and enter Tuhetao. .
This all requires a lot of money!

Moreover, the soldiers of Shu are already two years old and will come back next year.

Shu and Wu formed an alliance and supported each other in the war. When Shu troops invaded Yongliang, the evil Wu also vowed to take action.

By then, the Wei state treasury will have to spend a large amount of military expenditures.

No matter how strong the national power is, it cannot withstand such torture.

Not to mention, who dares to predict how long the war will last the next year and what the outcome will be?

If there is an eventuality that states and counties recruit troops to reinforce the front line, it will be another huge expense.

Under the constraints of so many factors, how could the princes in the temple not try their best to dissuade the emperor Cao Rui from putting into action the strategies Xia Houhui said!

Therefore, Xia Houhui finally understood it at this moment.

It turns out that the words of Emperor Cao Rui who lamented "I am not virtuous and have no power to show my kindness" did not refer to the Xianbei barbarians, but to the resistance of the ministers and officials. He lamented that he had nothing, just like Wei Wu Cao Cao said. The authority of Jiuding.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid."

After a moment of silence, Xia Houhui realized his guilt and said, "Chen Hui just spoke. He only focused on discussing the matter and insisted on talking about it. He actually forgot to consider the overall situation and the temple's checks and balances. Please forgive me for your majesty."

"Haha~" After hearing this, Emperor Cao Rui chuckled lightly and waved his hand to show that he was okay.

As he just said, asking Xia Houhui was just a temporary feeling and a try, not forcing him to really come up with a solution.

After all, as the emperor, he could not circumvent the temple princes and go his own way.

Furthermore, he was also inspired by Xiahou Hui's words.

It is feasible to transfer Xie Guini and Daihu Alang Ni to settle in the capital, and it is also possible to try to implement it by using the power of victory to let Tian Yu register and settle their clansmen.

As for the temptation of redeeming one's life and granting farmland, and recruiting emigrant families to guard the border~
The resistance is even greater, so we have to figure it out slowly.

Because it not only involves the loss of national power, but also stems from Wei Wen and Cao Pi's failed government.

At that time, Cao Pi had just replaced the Han Dynasty and established his capital in Luoyang. Seeing that Henan Province was in ruins and depopulated, he wanted to move 100,000 scholar families from Jizhou to establish counties and counties. He completely ignored the fact that it was winter and the houses were kept warm, and the locust plague was just beginning to plague the common people in various parts of the Central Plains. They were all hungry and had no food to eat. Even though all the ministers tried to dissuade him, Cao Pi was still headstrong and insisted on going his own way. In the end, Xin Pi, his servant, grabbed his train and refused to let him go. However, 50,000 scholar families were forcibly moved to Yinhou, Henan, and very few survived.

Therefore, after learning from the past experience of this ruined business, if Cao Rui wants to move to the real side of the scholar family, most of the old officials in the temple may be against Yan Zhijian.

"Zhi Quan, I seem to have heard that you and Tian Qing are quite friendly?"

Having made up his mind, Emperor Cao Rui no longer struggled with the Xianbei issue, and instead talked about other things.

Well, he remembered what General Li Bi said. Tian Yu, who was burdened with trivial matters, took the time to meet with Xiahou Hui before he returned.

It's not that he doubted Xia Houhui's intention to make friends with the generals.

Rather, he had decided very early on to let Tian Yu be in charge of running Bingzhou, and he would be transferred to his post after receiving the merits, so he asked Xia Houhui what he thought of Tian Yu out of a casual conversation.

In addition, he felt that Xia Houhui's power and strategizing skills were still a bit lacking, and he was not yet qualified to act as a pawn for his reform of the long-standing shortcomings. He also heard that Xia Houhui wanted to serve in successive places and had the intention of "a strong general rises from the ranks of his soldiers", so he had some plans. Send him to Youzhou or Bingzhou to serve.

Not only to prepare for Gongsun's future attack on Liaodong, but also because the officials and assistants of the two states of You were about to undergo adjustments.

Needless to say, merging states.

Bi Gui, the governor, had committed the crime of sending troops without permission and losing his troops, which was a disgrace to the country's prestige.

The reason why there was no accountability before was to have a stable rear for the battle against Xianbei.

Now that the war has been won, it is natural to recruit him back to the capital.

As for Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, Emperor Cao Rui wanted to transfer him to another party after learning that the thieves chief Kebi Neng had actually raised three thousand armors.

Although nearly a thousand armors were "gifted" by Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou after his defeat, where did the other two thousand armors come from? Wang Xiong, who also held the post of captain of the Xianbei Protector, could not escape the crime of dereliction of duty no matter what!
That's two thousand pieces of armor~
With the mining and smelting technology of the Xianbei tribe, how could it be possible without smuggling by lawless people?
In particular, Emperor Cao Rui already had a candidate to succeed Youzhou governor.

It is Guanqiu Jian, the current governor of Jingzhou.

A loyal minister of Qiandi~
Cao Rui, who was overly restrained by Wei Wen Cao Pi in his early years and had very few old friends, must focus on training and not hesitate to promote.

It just so happened that Xia Houhui had many generals and generals, while Guanqiu Jian was loyal and talented. If the two of them could practice their skills early and become important ministers in the temple, they could also benefit his plan to reform the long-standing shortcomings in the future.

"It is because of His Majesty that Prefect Tian treats his ministers well."

Xia Houhui, who didn't know what Cao Rui was thinking, flattered him with a gurgling smile.

He claimed that Tian Yu had good intentions towards him because he mentioned the plan of Zhao Zhao and also recommended Baima Yicong. The prefect also met me and entrusted me with something. Chen Hui felt that this matter would be beneficial to the country, so he agreed. "

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Not surprisingly, when Xia Houhui took the initiative to reveal the secret meeting with Tian Yu, Emperor Cao Rui smiled even more, "Since it is beneficial to the country, why doesn't Tian Qing practice his own evil deeds?"

"Your Majesty, Governor Tian can't explain this. It's for the purpose of enrolling Baima Yicong in the military register."

Immediately, Xia Houhui told Ziwu Maoyou that Baima Yi was never willing to stay in Bingzhou in detail, and then spoke with emotion.

"Your Majesty, I grew up in the blessed land of the Central Plains, and I have had no shortage of food and clothing since childhood. Now I have the honor to go north to join the expedition, and I see that the common people in the frontier fortress are poor and suffer bullying from the barbarians. Only then do I know that the singing and dancing in the heart of the Central Plains are due to the frontier fortress. In exchange for mountains of corpses. Year after year, countless loyal and loyal soldiers will continue to use their flesh and blood to strengthen the frontier and defend the backbone of the Han family with fire and blood."

"Therefore, Chen Hui was very fond of Baima Yicong's action of resisting the Hu barbarians with his white body, so he thought that he should let His Majesty hear about Gongsun's attack on Hu Yi, and promote him as a righteous man in the country."

"Furthermore, I have heard the saying that 'Confucians use literature to disturb the law, and chivalrous people use martial arts to violate the prohibition'. I also know that if Baima Yi is allowed to live in the mountains for a long time, he may cause harm to the local area in the future. And if your Majesty issues an imperial edict, Recruiting Baima Yicong to join the army will eliminate this problem, and it will also be beneficial to Gongsun's future expedition to Liaodong."

The secret meeting with Tian Yu was entrusted to Gongsun Baima and me~
Hearing this, Emperor Cao Rui suddenly realized.

He is no stranger to Baima Yicong, and he did not only know about it during the Northern Expedition to Xianbei.

In the past, when Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, hinted that his subordinates were impeaching Tian Yu, one of the accusations was that Tian Yu was a private soldier among the people, and these soldiers referred to Baima Yicong.

"Since it will benefit the conquest of Liaodong in the future, and Tian Qing entrusts his child power to promote it, I will definitely agree to it."

Nodding gently, Emperor Cao Rui smiled brightly, "Well, as Zhiquan just said, what position was his late father, Gongsun Yi, given by the late emperor in his early years?"

"Your Majesty, the late emperor granted him the post of Jianyi Zhonglang General."

Xia Houhui replied, "There is no specific authority. I only praise him for leading his troops back to his hometown and showing his honor."

"Yes, I know."

With a slight nasal sound, Emperor Cao Rui pondered for a moment, then nodded.

After that, he had some small talk, and on the grounds that it was already dusk, he graciously allowed Xia Houhui to share the royal meal before ending the summons.

But when Xia Houhui was saying goodbye, he actually gave this instruction.

"I know that Zhiquan has left home to live on his own and has little land. However, when we were newly married, I gave him a lot of money, which should be enough for Zhiquan's temporary use. Today's Northern Expedition to Xianbei Temple will be rewarded with money. We must not let Zhiquan's family suffer. Therefore, Zhiquan should remember that he is a descendant of Qiao Pei's ancestors, no different from the clan, and should not be busy pursuing life and wealth while only adding to others' leisure time."
