Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 538 Entering Ye
"Your Majesty, Murong Chui has regained Jinyang and regained control of the three counties of Taiyuan, but..." Yang Lue came to report.

"But what?" Li Yue was not surprised that he regained Jinyang.

With big beams supporting him behind, Fu Jian was besieged for nearly five months and was forced to retreat again. If he could not be subdued, Murong Chui would be sorry for his great reputation.

"But there is some rebellion in Murong Chuiyan's three counties, and they are being cleaned up."

"what happened?"

This reason sounds too much like an excuse. Could it be that Murong Chui still wants to separate and stand on his own?
"When Murong Chui counterattacked Jinyang, he absorbed many Hu tribes from Bingzhou. These people were unwilling to submit to Daliang. Murong Chui's son Murong Manu rebelled and was beheaded by him, causing considerable turmoil."

Starting from the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang and Hu people moved into the four prefectures of Bing, You, Yong, and Liang. By the Wei and Jin Dynasties, various rebellions occurred one after another.

The first place for Wuhu to disrupt China was to merge the two prefectures of Yong.

Liu Yuan and Shi Le were both from Bingzhou.

Ran Min killed Hu Ling in Hebei, and many Hu people fled to Bingzhou.

Liang Guo implemented the policy of respecting Xia and suppressing Hu. Unless the Hu people were forced to do so, they would never surrender to Liang and become third-class children or slaves.

Li Yue thought for a while. Murong Chui might return to his hometown, but he would also be forced by the situation.

This is also the reason for the rebellion started by Lan Jian.

After Jie Zhao was overthrown, Fu Jian shouted the slogan "Honghe Liu is one family, and Yi and Di are regarded as pure sons", which is equivalent to inheriting the inheritance of Jie Zhao. When Fu Jian became emperor, he designated Qin as the virtue of wood, Jie Zhao as the virtue of water, and water produces wood. , the thought couldn’t be more obvious.

The people of the Central Plains need orthodoxy and inheritance, and so do the barbarians.

These days, the Northern Kingdom is still dominated by ethnic conflicts. The people of the Central Plains have been oppressed for 50 to [-] years. For those who can survive to this day, every family is suffering and everyone has blood feud.

How could these sufferings and blood feuds be forgotten just five or six years ago?
The essential reason why the Black Cloud Army is fearless on the battlefield is that they bear this hatred.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liang Guo to regard Yi Di as innocent!

On this point, Li Yue never dared to compromise easily, otherwise the spiritual foundation of Daliang's founding would be lost.

From a historical perspective, Fu Jian's strategy can enhance his strength in the short term, but it is extremely harmful in the long term. Cao Cao was able to make a comeback after several major defeats, but Fu Jian fell apart after one defeat, which shows that his strategy Can't play at all.

"There is no need to reply to him. I will wait for another month. After one month, if he cannot clean up the three counties of Taiyuan, I will personally deal with them!" Li Yue said with murderous intent.

However, Murong Chui was Murong Chui after all. Ye Cheng's lack of reply made him realize something. He no longer looked forward and backward, and struck out steadily and ruthlessly, liquidating nine powerful chiefs and massacring four tribes.

He took the heads and prisoners of Di Qin and rushed to Yecheng in person, leaving Murong Ling to guard Jinyang.

Li Yue was not polite, Wang Meng took over Taiyuan, and Wei Shan guarded Hedong.

At this point, Bingzhou was officially incorporated into the Liang Kingdom and connected with the Hetao. It took a key step to unify the world, and the strategic encirclement of Guanzhong was obvious.

To devour Di Qin, a decisive battle is needed.

At the same time, Di Qin also needed a war if he wanted to get rid of the strategic dilemma.

Both sides are preparing, and this day is not too far away.

Fu Jian was not idle after his retreat. After Puban, he continued to strengthen Pujin, Feng Yi, Xu Yuan, Shayuan and other cities. The army guard system came into being, with Deng Qiang as the Hedong guard and Fu Fei as Feng Yi. To protect the army, Lu Polou is the protector of Shuzhong, and Li Wei is the protector of Qiuchi...

The so-called Guard Army actually means to abolish the system of prefectures and counties, all people are soldiers, and everything is prepared for war. Local taxes, military affairs, and military affairs are all in the hands of the Guard Army.

This system had already existed in the Han and Wei dynasties, but it was all for managing border people, but Fu Jian carried it forward, abolishing prefectures and counties, and all the people became soldiers to resist enemies from all directions while expanding externally.

Historically, the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty evolved from this system.

Fu Jian dared to play like this, but Li Yue didn't. "This is the way to create chaos."

"Fu Jian was also forced by Daliang and had to do this." Chang Wei twisted his beard and smiled.

Liang Guo will treat any disturbance in Guanzhong with caution. "It should not be underestimated. The guard army has the power to recruit troops and can also make random decisions. If the personnel are used properly, the defense of Pu Ban, Feng Yi and other places will be greatly improved." Li Yue did not take it lightly.

Strategically ignored, tactically valued.

The guard system has certain tactical advantages.

Objectively speaking, both the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the vassal towns of the Tang Dynasty were relatively powerful.

Fu Jian's guard army can be regarded as a smaller version of the vassal town. With people like Deng Qiang and Fu Fei in the front, it strengthened the defense to a certain extent and also reduced the cost of Di Qin's rule.

As for the chaos, it will take a long time to ferment. In the short term, it will be beneficial to them.

"What your Majesty said is true." Chang Wei did not argue.

"Your Majesty, Murong Chui has arrived at Fukou." Lu Qing came to report.

Fukou is the west gate of Yecheng, guarding Fukouxing in the Taihang Mountains. After passing here, you will truly enter Hebei.

In the past, Li Yue would greet him, but at that time it was to show his kindness. Every time he went out of the city to greet him, it was not a show of kindness, but a devaluation of himself.

The status of monarch and ministers has been determined, and the demonstration is a demonstration.

"He ordered his troops to station outside the city, and Murong Chui came to the palace to see him." Li Yue said calmly.

"Wei." Lu Qing handed over and left.

Chang Wei's eyes flashed, "Now that Murong Chui has entered Ye, what arrangements will your Majesty make?"

When people come, they have to be given a suitable place.

Li Yue took a few steps. After all, Murong Chui is also a member of the Yan clan, a world-famous figure, and he has taken the initiative to Chineseize. He can't be treated too badly. "How about being promoted to General of the Left, Minister of the Right Servant, and Marquis of Juyang?"

The last general of the left, Dong Run, was executed by his clan for causing rebellion, and he has not yet been replaced.

As soon as Murong Chui came, he was ranked alongside Wei Shan, Jia Jian, Xu Cheng and other distinguished veterans, so it was not a bad treatment for him.

What's more, hanging up the minister's right servant is equivalent to Chang Wei's hand. With Chang Wei watching him, Li Yue can feel more at ease.

Besides, there are not many Hou in Daliang.

This also means that Murong Chui will stay in Yecheng from now on.

"Your Majesty is so kind and can serve as an example to the world." Chang Wei said this and agreed, "But what will happen next?"

This is the key point.

These days, except for the Liang State, everyone follows the tribal system. The Yan State went a step further and established a military feudal system.

"When you join me in Daliang, you must naturally abide by the rules of Daliang. Select the best and disperse them to the black cloud armies. The old and weak will be turned into common people and given fields and houses to farm for a living."

Even if these people rebelled on the spot, Li Yue would not make such an opening.

The military is state-owned, not privately owned by the generals.

As a general of the Liang Kingdom, you can have old friends and subordinates, but you cannot have tribes and private soldiers.

This is a principled thing.

Li Yue personally feels that the root cause of the chaos in the Sixteen Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties in history lies here.

Of course, this requires a strong and powerful court.

Only by handing over Bu Qu can Li Yue truly feel at ease with him.
