At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 265: Using Hu to control Hu, the scholarly Chen Yu
After communicating with the Donghu people, Chen Ping asked Peng Yue: "The Hu people are not educated, how do you make them work with peace of mind? And there are so many Hu people in the city, aren't you afraid of their rebellion."

The Hu people will be content and keep their own, and the Northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty will not be at war anymore. For the Hu people, the first choice is always to rob, and they will only keep their deals if they can't rob them.

Peng Yue said with a smile: "Hu people are afraid of power and have no morals. In order to gain a foothold in Yingkou, a certain person killed four to five thousand people before killing the Hu people. There is also an extremely large Beijing Temple in the outskirts of Yingkou. Everyone who comes here to trade All the Hu people can see it, and they will weigh their own strength to see if they can seize Yingkou, but even so, our navy has stationed three thousand soldiers here all year round. Only with such a powerful force can we deter the surrounding Hu people. "

Chen Ping was still puzzled and said: "Zhao and Qin also severely damaged the Huns, but the Huns still invaded the border repeatedly. I'm afraid that just killing them would not be enough to make the Hu people stay safe and defend themselves."

The reason why the Hu people have become the biggest scourge in the north is not because of their strong fighting power, but because they are so poor that they only have one life left. In fact, in the past few hundred years, except for a few exceptions, the princes of the Central Plains oppressed the Hu people most of the time.

Just like Da Qin annexed Yiqu and established Longxi County and Beidi County. Zhao State taught the Huns a lesson, occupied the land of Hetao, and established Daijun. Even the Yan State, which was humiliated by the Warring States Period, defeated the Donghu people and established Liaoxi County and Liaodong County. It can only be said that the Warring States Period was the period when military virtue was the most abundant in the entire Central Plains, and any prince could conquer all directions.

During this period, the princes of the Central Plains rushed into the grasslands to plunder the Hu people. The name "Dacaogu" was originally used to describe the Hu people. During the Warring States Period, the pressure of competition in the Central Plains was too great. None of the princes were easy to deal with, and it was the Hu people all around. Savages are easier to fight, and it is easier to gain victory and land.

But the environment of the grassland is too harsh. Tribes in the grassland often die of all their livestock due to snowstorms and droughts. At this time, if the grassland herdsmen want to survive, they must go south to plunder. Youdao is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. The Hu people Faced with this situation, if you don't rob, you will die or live. If you go south to rob, you will have a narrow escape. The barbarians will naturally go south.

After the princes of the Central Plains occupied all the land that could be cultivated in the grassland, they were not interested in the barren pastures of the grassland. They could only build city walls to defend against the barbarians.

Chen Ping believed that the same was true in Yingkou. The Hu people would not rob the Han's city because of fear of death. He was very curious about how Peng Yue did this.

Peng Yue said with a smile: "Killing alone would not lead to the current situation. In fact, the Hu people in Liaodong are very poor. Many tribes are so poor that they have nothing but death. Facing this kind of Hu tribe, no matter in terms of prestige or morality, It won’t work because they will starve if they don’t get anything.”

"But Yingkou's wealth mainly depends on our navy's trade. Yingkou's grain, cloth and other goods are all on our navy's ships. Even if the Hu people occupy Yingkou, as long as our troops board the ship, they will not be able to grab the supplies, but will suffer To attack and retaliate against our Han army.

At the same time, it will also affect the survival and development of the surrounding tribes, because every time a robbery occurs, the Yingkou market will be suspended. Yingkou is hundreds of miles away, and tens of thousands of Hu people will be affected.

"Of course, most of the time, even if they want to trade, there is nothing to trade. When a tribe has nothing, they will leave. The existence of Yingkou is to reduce such tribes with nothing.

Liaodong is rich in products. For the surrounding barbarians, there is no need to rob them. Even if they trade, they can still have enough to eat. Just like the barbarian just said, cutting down a big tree can be exchanged for two sheep. The skins and herbs that used to be worthless Grains can also be traded in Yingkou. "

"These Hu people also know that Yingkou's food and cloth depend on our navy. Naturally, they dare not mess around in Yingkou. Otherwise, if our navy leaves, they will starve to death. Of course, the most important thing is that the Hu people in Yingkou are divided. Here There are Donghu tribes, Fuyu people, Goguryeo people, Yi people and even many tribes that I can’t name. They can’t form a joint force, so they can only listen to the big men.”

"All the powerful tribes near Yingkou were driven away by the general. The general will not allow any tribe of Hu people to grow. Instead, he will divide the pastures to prevent them from crossing the border. The Donghu people are sandwiched between the Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo are sandwiched between the Fuyu people. I am a Han The army will coordinate from there. Now a system headed by my big man has been established within a hundred miles of Yingkou.

If the Hu people dare to plunder Yingkou, the surrounding Hu tribes will wipe out this evil-doing tribe without the help of my Han army, in order to please my Han army. The general is not stingy with rewards for such Hu tribes. This happened several times. Now there are 7-8 Hu tribes in Yingkou who have surrendered to our Han Dynasty. Each tribe can recruit 200-300 young men. We big men can control the bewilderment. "

Chen Ping was surprised and said: "Your Yingkou model is good. It can become a model for me to rule the barbarians in the future."

In Chen Ping's opinion, the most successful aspect of this system is that it uses barbarians to control barbarians. The Han army can stay out of the situation, and the barbarians on both sides fight each other. No matter who wins or loses, they are doubling the number of barbarians in Liaodong. , and the Han people only need to pay some food, cloth and other materials. When the Hu people are almost fighting each other, the princes of the Han Dynasty can establish vassal states here, and the people of the Han Dynasty can cultivate land and build villages here.

Chen Ping never thought that a warrior like Peng Yue could come up with such a good strategy, which could even be called vicious.

In order to understand this system in depth, Cun Yuduo stayed here for three days. Under the protection of Chai Wu, he met several Hu tribes in Liaodong and found that they were quite hostile to each other, but they were grateful to the Han and believed that the Han were in Liaodong. saved their tribe.

This investigation completely changed Chen Ping's impression of Peng Yue. He was not a reckless man, he was simply a poisonous person. He sold these barbarians and made them grateful to him. Chen Ping felt that he had to learn from Peng Yue.

The words were divided into two parts. While Chen Ping was slowly walking towards Xiangcheng, Kuai Che had already returned to Liaodong early.

Chen Yuben had high hopes for Kuai Che and wanted to use his sharp tongue to persuade the emperor to support the Liaodong Kingdom.

The current situation in Liaodong is so bad. There is not a single mountain range in Liaodong's defense line of 3 to miles. It can be said that there is no danger to defend. The barbarians can easily invade the territory of Liaodong. Chen Yu's Liaodong has a population of only There are more than troops, and the army only has people. It is impossible to defend Liaodong Kingdom's three to four thousand miles of defense line.

As the Donghu people invaded the Liaodong Kingdom, they colluded with the Hu people in the Liaodong Kingdom, which completely detonated the conflict in the Liaodong Kingdom and plunged the entire Liaodong Kingdom into turmoil.

Speaking of which, the current situation in Liaodong Kingdom is also related to Chen Yu. He is a Han nationalist (probably this is what he means, many words are not allowed to be written). In his opinion, the Yan and Qi people are his foundation. When the Qin people were enclosing the land in Qi State, some Yan people and hundreds of thousands of Qi people fled to Liaodong.

These refugees fled to Liaodong and naturally had to find ways to survive. With Chen Yu's help, they established villages and towns, cultivated fields, and grew food. This was what Chen Yu was happy to see. Once these Yan and Qi people settle down, his strength will be improved.

But where can there be no owner's land in the world? In the eyes of the people of Yanqi, it is ownerless land, but in fact it is the pasture of the Hu people in Liaodong. When these Hu tribes moved from the winter pasture to the spring and summer pasture, , only to find that the pastures of their tribe had been burned clean and wheat was planted. The Yanqi people drove them away with spears.

These Hu people were naturally unwilling to have their homes occupied by outsiders, but they could not defeat the people of Yanqi who were full of martial virtue.

So he complained to Chen Yu, the king of Liaodong, hoping that he would seek justice for him and let the people of Yanqi return their pastures.

But Chen Yu disappointed them. In his opinion, land reclamation is the foundation of his Liaodong Kingdom, and the people of Yanqi are the foundation of Liaodong Kingdom. Naturally, he will not destroy his foundation.

However, Chen Yu's unfair treatment made the entire Liaodong Hu people disappointed with him. They no longer regarded Chen Yu as their king. When the Donghu people fled to Liaodong County, they colluded with the Donghu people. together. Hundreds of thousands of barbarians were in turmoil, and the order of the entire Liaodong County collapsed. Now Chen Yu could only control the land around the city. A large number of villages and towns cultivated by the people of Yanqi were destroyed by the barbarians.

That's why he really wanted to get Xu Fan's support and expand his army to suppress these evil-doing barbarians.

But he didn't expect that Kuai Che would bring him disappointing news. The emperor wanted to trade the land of Shanggu County and Yuyang County outside the Great Wall for Liaodong County.

Chen Yu was furious and said: "The Han Emperor wants us to defend him from the Huns."

Chen Yu knew that the reason why Liaodong was in such chaos was because the Huns defeated the Donghu people, and a large number of Donghu people poured into Liaodong, completely disrupting the original order of Liaodong. The Donghu people were already so difficult to deal with, let alone The Huns defeated the Donghu people. And as long as you look at the map, you will understand that Shanggu and Yuyang are the pastures facing the Huns.

Xu Fan not only wanted to take away his country, but also asked him to defend the big man from his sword.

Kuai Che said helplessly: "Your Majesty is a slave, and I am a fish. Peng Yue's navy is eyeing our Liaodong Kingdom. If we reject the emperor's proposal, what we have to face is the joint strangulation of the Donghu people, the Huns and the Han army." , It is impossible for the Hu people to truly surrender to us. If the king cannot form an alliance with the Han army, the Liaodong Kingdom will not be able to survive. "

Chen Yu said angrily: "They all come to force me, they all come to force me. Tian Heng is like this, Donghu people are like this, and now even the Han Emperor is like this. If I really think that I am easy to bully, I will not change, even if I fight to the death." , I also want the world to see Xu Fan’s true face.”

Chen Yu had a great scholarly spirit, otherwise he would not have done anything like discarding the seal of general in history. In the end, he was stabbed in the back by his good eldest brother. He actually collected tens of thousands of troops he had recruited and then killed him. When they meet each other, they become enemies of life and death. General Li Liang said in fear: "Your Majesty, please don't act on your own initiative."

Kuai Che said: "Your Majesty, we don't have the strength to fight. This fish in Liaodong will definitely die, but the Han's net will definitely not be broken."

"Although Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains and attacked Liaodong from land, the Han Dynasty had to walk thousands of miles of swampy and muddy areas, but the Han Dynasty has Pengyue's navy, and their army can land in our hinterland of Liaodong, not to mention that Peng Yue is still building on the Liao River Once we reach Yingkou, this army is not something our Liaodong Kingdom can bear."

Li Liang also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, we really can't afford to fight. Most of our Liaodong army are Qi people, and the Han Emperor destroyed the Qin Dynasty. The Qi people in Liaodong all regard the Han Emperor as their benefactor. If we fight with the Han army, The army will surely fall."

Kuai Che analyzed: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is remote and there are many Hu people. We are only a minority here. Therefore, the influx of Donghu people into our Liaodong Kingdom is in a state of disintegration. But if the Han Emperor wants to place heroes here, he must By relocating a large number of Han people, as long as there are more and more Han people, we will have more and more allies outside the Great Wall. "

"When I moved to Yuyang County and Shanggu County, I acted as a shield for the Han Emperor, but at the same time I had the support of the Han Emperor. The Han Emperor would definitely support us if he didn't want the Huns to attack the Han's frontiers."

Kuai Che tried his best to hold Chen Yu back. The Liaodong Kingdom was too weak and had no ability to resist the big man. He said that the strategist's family was still useful in troubled times, but his ability to stabilize the world was 90% useless.

Li Liang also said: "Yes, your Majesty went to Shanggu County and Yuyang County. Not only did we get a few more cities, but we also got 5000 more sets of armored swords. With this set of equipment, even if the Huns come, we can still Don’t be afraid.”

With Kuai Che's analysis and Li Liang's persuasion, no matter how dissatisfied Chen Yu was, he could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction and accept this unequal deal.

After observing the camp entrance, Chen Ping continued to march towards Xiangcheng under the protection of thousands of cavalry.

Then Chen Ping finally felt the chaos in Liaodong. These barbarians were desperate for their lives. Even though they saw thousands of Han cavalry, they still dared to wear tattered sheepskin coats and charge towards the regular Han army while waving sabers that looked like pieces of rotten iron. . Faced with such a rabble, Chai Wu led hundreds of cavalry to defeat them in one charge.

But even though the Han army showed such great strength, Chen Ping still experienced three such defeats when he reached Xiangping City. Except for the valuable war horses, the trophies of these Hu people were all in tatters.

Xiangping City, gate.

Chen Yu led the civil and military ministers of Liaodong Kingdom to welcome Chen Ping.

But they saw a majestic and mighty cavalry with a striking figure and shining armor. At the key point, this cavalry, from the general to the ordinary soldiers, all wore shining silver armor.

Chen Yu was surprised and said: "Can the Han army really give ordinary soldiers armor?"

There are 34 pieces of iron armor in the entire Liaodong Kingdom, and among them are 4 pieces brought by Kuai Che. Among Chen Yu's Liaodong County, only officers at the level of Army Sima can wear iron armor, and the iron armor in his country is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty. This army.

Kuai Che smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, even if he is just a few elites, he is very impressive. The Han army is a more powerful army than the Qin Dynasty."

Soon Chen Ping brought his army to the gate of Xiangping City.

"Chen Yu, King of Liaodong, pays homage to the Prime Minister." Chen Yu immediately saluted and shouted when he saw Chen Ping's team.

Chen Ping said calmly: "It is really difficult for me to come to the Liaodong Kingdom. I have experienced three robberies along the way. King Liaodong, should you also spend some energy on governing your own land? If you didn't know that this is the Liaodong Kingdom, I would have thought that this is the country." It’s a lawless place.”

Kuai Che immediately apologized and said: "Hu people are not educated, so I apologize on behalf of my king."

A few days later, I arrived at the palace of Liaodong Kingdom. The two parties sat separately for the main classes, had a banquet, and watched the singing and dancing.

Chen Ping said: "The Prime Minister's purpose must have been explained to the envoy Kuai. I wonder if the King of Liaodong has figured it out?"

Chen Ping's attitude made Chen Yu very dissatisfied and said: "If I don't agree, will the emperor attack our Liaodong Kingdom?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Kuai Che wailed in his heart. He had already decided to surrender, so why say such words? Didn't he offend Chen Ping again? Chen Ping was a fake man with a high and powerful position. After offending him, the Liaodong country would not be able to do well. As a great king, I am good at everything, but I am too bookish.

Chen Ping smiled calmly and said: "According to the "Book of Rites", the emperor's field is a thousand miles, the land of a prince is a hundred miles, the uncle is seventy miles, and the son is fifty miles. Although the King of Liaodong is a prince, his position is the same as that of a duke. The emperor only recognizes Xiang. The land within a hundred miles of Pingcheng is actually inhabited by barbarians all the way to Liaodong Kingdom. The heroes of our Han Dynasty came from the founding of the country and the education of barbarians. No one in the world can say anything about it. "

Chen Ping is threatening Chen Yu. If you don't know what to do, the big man will not trade with you and directly send heroes to occupy the land of Liaodong. Chen Yu can't say anything. Again, Liaodong is too desolate. The territory that Chen Yu can control is extremely limited. Not even a tenth.

It's not that you pointed to a map and said that the mountains and rivers in Liaodong are yours, it's yours, but if I, a big man, don't admit that it's yours, then it's not yours.

Chen Ping had also heard of Chen Yu's story, and the two of them could even be said to have passed each other. When Zhang Er and Chen Yu led 3000 soldiers to attack Dangjun, Chen Ping had just followed Kong Yu and fled to Chenjun.

Regarding the actions of Zhang Er, Chen Yu and the others, Chen Ping could only say that they were ignorant. They could obviously become the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. With their contributions at that time, their status may not be much worse than that of Ji Bu and Ying Bu, but they did not know the real dragon. He voluntarily gave up his glory and wealth. When I saw him today, he was indeed ignorant of current affairs. No wonder he was driven to the remote Liaodong.

Kuai Che said anxiously: "My king does not have such thoughts. Of course my king dare not violate what the emperor has told me. Moreover, the current situation in Liaodong can only be suppressed by the emperor."

Chen Ping didn't want to embarrass Chen Yu too much. After all, he came here just to complete the deal.

Chen Ping said: "This is very good. After the beginning of spring, the princes of our Han Dynasty will come to Liaodong to establish vassal states. You can move to Shanggu County within this year. The Liaodong Army has gone to Shanggu County, and our Han Dynasty will naturally put the armor in Shanggu County." Leave it to you."

Then Chen Ping and Kuai Che left here after chatting for a few words.

There was silence in the Liaodong Palace, and Chen Yu's face was filled with anger and he didn't know how to vent it.

In the end, he kicked over the desk in front of him and said angrily: "What a shame!"
