Chapter 2796 Li Dian has a plan to secure Hanzhong, but Zhang Liao has no plan to meet the Hussar
Although Li Dian smelled of alcohol, his spirit was not as dispirited as when Pu was still present. Instead, he was like a newly sharpened long sword, emitting a sharp light.
He spread out a piece of bamboo paper, preparing to write down the strategy he conceived and deliver it to the hussar.
Before Wang Pu from Di came, Li Dian had some vague ideas, but they were not fully formed yet, so it was not convenient to report them. But what Li Dian didn't expect was that Zhang Liao had just left.
The King of Di Ren came right after him, so Li Dian did not say that he would wait until he had thought about it or reported it before letting the King of Di Ren come...
After all, this is just like in a battle formation, your opponent will never wait for you to be ready before starting.
The biggest advantage of the Di people is that they do not have as many conflicts with the Han people as the Huns or Qiang people. Therefore, relatively speaking, their lives are more stable, which also leads to the decrease in the number of Di people.
It is relatively large and widely distributed. From Longxi to Sichuan and Shu, there are Di people. And because the king of Di people can be big or small, in most cases, it is like a plate of loose sand, and it is difficult to form a joint force.
There won't be much of a threat.
Of course, if there are big Di kings like Yang Wanwan and Wang Gui who want to unify the entire Di tribe, they will be a huge threat at any time, and we must always pay attention...
Under such circumstances, how to subtly educate the Di people without arousing the resentment of the Di people is a test of the ability of the governing officials in the areas in contact with the Di people.
Li Dian picked up the pen, pondered for a moment, and wrote the four words "divide with profit".
Emperor Guangwu's conferment of titles and seals on King Di Ren was certainly a form of wooing, but now, when the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is weakening and the east and west are divided, if one only knows how to plagiarize old answers and blindly imitate, then
It is very likely that it will not produce the same effect as the time of Guangwu.
Simply put, everything is the most precious the first time.
With the proliferation of seals and ribbons among the Di Ren Kings, simply conferring positions would most likely be a joke.
So what is the most effective method for a dispersed group like Di people?
Li Dian thought of "profit".
Whenever there are too many people, the most likely problem is uneven distribution of benefits.
From small gangs to large teams, good guys, bad guys and ordinary people, as long as interests are involved, this problem will naturally arise, and there are very few people who can solve it, especially in a situation where there are many Di people.
Who can convince whom? Who can act as the balancer?
Completely different from the Southern Xiongnu, the Di Renwang is in the mountains, not on the edge of Yinshan Mountain like the Southern Xiongnu. These Di Ren are like self-sufficient small manors. In addition to exchanging some necessary production and life
Apart from the information, there is actually very little contact with the outside world, which makes it difficult for the educational power to penetrate into the foreign areas.
The Di people cannot understand the language and customs of the Han people, nor do they want to understand them, so how can they be educated?
Therefore, before educating, we must first strengthen communication.
This is the first step to inducement.
If you don't give benefits, how can you attract Di people? But how to give and what to give has become the key to the problem.
Li Dian finally decided to start with Nongsang.
Because no matter they are Han people or Di people, they all need to eat.
Even the most ignorant and stupid people will instinctively want to eat and survive, so this topic will never be out of date, nor will it be rejected by others.
At the same time, Li Dian also deliberately conducted it in the form of a bet, which changed the forced "giving" to the automatic "asking" of the Di people. When the results of the comparison between the two sides' farming fields come out, the Di people will inevitably think
The so-called "secrets" of the Han people must be discovered secretly, and then the Di people will naturally spontaneously learn Chinese, learn Han people's techniques, and change their own habits and customs.
The only drawback is that the whole strategy takes a long time. It is not possible to see any effect in a short time, nor does it mean that if you do it now, there will be a lot of Di people running to the city at 3:00 noon the next day.
Kneeling all over the ground and kowtowing...
Therefore, in the political atmosphere before the Han Dynasty, ordinary officials were not very willing to carry out long-term plans like this.
Who knows how many years he can stay in his position?
In a chaotic political system, even if there are people who want to do things with peace of mind, they will not be able to do things well.
Li Dianbi paused for a moment, then stopped, frowned, and took the Di people's information with Hussar's annotations in his hands. He looked carefully at the simple four words before and after, then thought about it, and then went over it.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
"The incident failed", who was exposed? Needless to say, it must have been exposed by the Han people themselves. But it was obviously something that was beneficial to the Han people, so how could it be exposed? Could it be that the Han people who leaked the information at that time did not know that this was the national policy of the Han Dynasty?
Is it something that is beneficial to the Han people themselves? Obviously it is impossible. The only explanation is some immediate benefits.
The interests of the country belong to the country and cannot be obtained by him.
In other words, he won't feel it for a while, but the immediate benefits can be obtained immediately. So this is connected with the two words that follow Qiusi, "Integrity". If an official cannot be honest, then there is a high probability that he will be honest.
I will not do anything for the country or the Chinese nation.
But can officials who only know how to be honest get things done? Just like Kong Fen. He was indeed honest to a certain extent, but he lost the support of all officials. Instead, he felt that he was treated fairly because of his integrity.
It was at the most critical moment that the Di leader became the fighting force under Kong Fen.
This can not but be said to be a great irony. The Han Dynasty raised troops for a thousand days, but when the time came to use them, they could not use them!
Even the Di people were able to defeat the thieves. Although they were in the mountains and forests, the Di people might be more familiar with the roads and have better geographical advantages, but that was all! According to the information above, Kong Fen didn’t know anything about military affairs at all.
, so either the leader of the Di people is a genius, or the thief is actually bad enough...
Both of these situations actually illustrate the problem that Kong Fen is of no use. Therefore, as the main official in a place, he only knows how to be honest, but does not know how to restrain his subordinates and rectify the administration. Obviously, there is a big problem.
This kind of problem may not be obvious at ordinary times, but once someone like Kong Fen encounters a thief, the problem becomes big.
As for Hanzhong, are there no "thieves"?
So for Li Dian, he not only has to consider his own integrity, but also the integrity of the officials under his rule. If he wants to make officials honest, the first issue is to ensure that these officials can have some normal food.
meal".
Official meal.
Fixed time, safe and guaranteed.
If you get used to eating shit outside at will, it will be difficult to control it. At that time, some people will question those who eat dinner, are they watching pirated copies... Well, no, isn't it delicious to eat shit?
Although there may be no difference between chocolate that tastes like shit and shit that tastes like chocolate when you eat it, there will definitely be a difference after you eat it...
Li Dian wrote down his ideas and strategies on three pieces of bamboo paper, and then he stopped because he was still a little unfinished. Then he looked at it again and slightly modified some of the inappropriate words and phrases.
, then he took a new piece of bamboo paper, copied it again and again, put it in a bamboo tube, sealed it with wax, solemnly took the seal, and stamped it.
"Here comes someone!" Li Dian called the guards, "Send to Chang'an immediately and hand it over to the lord for personal acceptance!"
Compared with Li Dian, who was confident and had a general strategy, Zhang Liao felt that he had no idea...
Zhang Liao was also more or less aware of some problems and vaguely heard some rumors.
This problem is not a problem in Hanzhong, but a problem in the Western Regions.
Whether the problem in Hanzhong is big or not, although Zhang Liao did not think about more profound issues of education like Li Dian, during his stay in Hanzhong, he not only stabilized the trade routes, pacified the place, and started to build and expand it again.
The road leading to Chang'an built a number of turning and transportation stations, which can be said to be quite meritorious.
But this doesn't mean anything.
If you have merit, you should be rewarded.
If you do it, you should be punished.
However, there are always people who are confused and even confuse merits and demerits.
Zhang Liao let out a long sigh.
"General, are you tired?" said the guard beside Zhang Liao, then raised his head and looked ahead, "Four or five miles ahead, there will be a post station. How about we take a rest there?"
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and nodded.
In order to make the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong smoother, starting from the entrance of Baoxie Road, basically every five miles, or at most ten miles, there will be a post station, large or small, to provide accommodation and food and clothing supplements for merchants coming and going.
, as well as vehicle and equipment repairs, etc.
Zhang Liao's guards whistled, and then several people passed Zhang Liao and went forward to check for Zhang Liao first.
Zhang Liao's heart suddenly moved slightly.
He looked back at the private soldiers accompanying him to Chang'an this time.
At the moment, Zhang Liao does not have any soldiers who commanded Bingzhou around him as in history. Most of the Bingzhou soldiers have followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, and a small number of them have stayed in Yinshan, Hedong. Only a small part, about eight hundred or so, are here.
I followed Zhang Liao, and later lost some, and added some more, and now it remains at around one thousand five.
Of course, this time when he arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Liao did not bring all the more than a thousand soldiers, but only 200. The rest of the troops followed the order and left Yangping Pass first, heading towards Wudu Tianshui to Longxi.
, and after meeting the Hussars, he himself would most likely go to Longxi and join up with these soldiers again.
These soldiers can be regarded as the foundation of Zhang Liao's life, but at the same time, while Zhang Liao was marching in the Baoxie Road, he silently asked himself over and over again, "Are Bingzhou soldiers really important?"
Everyone has their own value.
In history, Cao Cao also hesitated for a time, but finally killed Lu Bu, but at the same time he refused to kill all the elite Bingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, so he left Zhang Liao as his commander.
.And Zhang Liao did not disappoint Cao Cao, and made great achievements in the southern and northern campaigns.
To put it simply, Cao Cao's choice of Zhang Liao was not his first choice, and neither was Lu Bu. Cao Cao actually wanted Chen Gong more. Because only Chen Gong's identity could help him gather the remnants of Bingzhou without worrying about it.
The issue of the loss of military power after Chen Gong led the army was easy to deal with in the later period. Unfortunately, classmate Lao Cao tried hard to persuade Chen Gong, trying to impress Chen Gong by saying they went to school together, but Chen Gong didn't know whether he had already seen through it or had already figured it out.
Only in despair did Zhang Liao get a chance to change his career for the second time.
Nowadays, most of the soldiers from Bingzhou followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, while the soldiers from Xiliang joined Fei Qian, and later most of them followed Zhao Yun to open up the Northern Territory Protectorate. And those who are now in Chang'an, as well as some of the soldiers who followed under Hussar's command, although
The native place may still be Bingzhou or Xiliang, but they were all recruited one after another later, and they were not the Bingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers who originally made trouble in Heluo and Chang'an.
As for why the Hussars assigned these two groups of soldiers, one to the west and the other to the north, Zhang Liao actually had some answers in his mind.
The human heart is, after all, the most complex thing.
This is true for those above, and it is the same for those below.
Zhang Liao basically participated in the whole process, well, I can't say that he was involved, but he was at least part of it. During the process from Dong Zhuo's fall from the peak to Li Guo's rebellion in Chang'an, he witnessed with his own eyes the ferocious rise of Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers.
Luoyang City looked arrogant, but he also saw the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers walking around in the wilderness like lost wild dogs, dejected and aimless.
These two different scenes, just like Bao Shui and Xie Shui, seem to be completely incompatible, but they are connected together and finally form Baoxie Road.
All the way up, then all the way down.
During the ascent and descent, he either ran into a mountain stream or headed towards the main road.
Before Dong Zhuo, whether it was the Xiliang soldiers or the Bingzhou army, they were actually border troops. They were all warriors who were actively or passively "forgotten" by the Han Dynasty. They belonged to a class that was excluded, oppressed and oppressed.
Well, this "class" is also a word coined by Hussar. Zhang Liao thinks it's very appropriate. It's like pressing oil, the layer of oil sandwiched between the stones, and it's like the layers of stones in the pavilion.
Wooden stairs.
The Xiqiang Rebellion has been going on for a long time, and the problem is indeed very big. But if it has been going on for such a long time, can all the blame be placed on the soldiers of Xiliang? The land of Shandong has been dragged down. Is it possible that the soldiers of Bingzhou were constantly transferred to Xiliang?
In the end, the Northland was completely lost. Does Bingzhou count as being dragged down?
Do the people of Bingzhou have no resentment?
And Dong Zhuo was just following the situation, no, it was Li Ru...
Then suddenly, all the soldiers, including the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army, and the stones that were pressed under the feet of the Han nobles rolled over, just like the stones under the gunpowder blast of Baoxie Road, the stones on them were
The soil and vegetation, as well as the insects and people, were all thrown down.
Therefore, after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he was arrogant and domineering, as well as the madness after Xiliang soldiers took control of Chang'an. When Zhang Liao recalled it, he felt more like the madness after repression, and the irreversibility after indulgence.
Big men don't have any psychiatrists.
Not only in the Han Dynasty, but even in many feudal dynasties since then, when most generals commanded soldiers, in order to stimulate the soldiers' combat effectiveness and release their animal nature, they would let these soldiers burn, kill and loot after a tragic battle...
Soldiers have to go into battle to fight, and either you die or I die. If there are enemies of the country and the family, that's okay. The Yue Family Army or other feudal armies are in the minority. And there must be enemies of the country and the family in front. That's it.
For example, when the Bingzhou Army was defending the Northland, all they had to do was roar and beat the barbarians. Not to mention the Bingzhou soldiers, even the old and young men from the Northland, as long as they could move, would come out with swords, guns, clubs and halberds.
Zhang Liao still remembers what the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers became in Luoyang and Chang'an after losing their basic goal of protecting the country.
According to what Qiao Qi said, there is no faith.
They shed blood and sweat for the Han in Longxi and resisted the barbarians in the north, but what did they gain?
It is a contemptuous name, a look of disgust, and a lesson from others as a counterexample, "Look, if you don't study hard, you will have no choice but to be a soldier in the future!"
Then he looked at the gentry children among the big Han people. They all seemed to be able to steal high positions effortlessly. He pointed at them, shouted at them, and then threw out some dog food, making them fight like wild dogs.
Grab it and laugh for fun.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo roared angrily in the court hall, Zhang Liao did not feel anything was wrong.
That is a long-standing injustice...
But now, at least in Guanzhong, being a soldier is no longer a shame, but an honor. Soldiers have better treatment, not only their own military pay, but also bring blessings to their families. Before, people were afraid of being soldiers.
Now I wish my son could be selected.
Before, I was afraid that my children would become unnecessary expendables, but now I send my children to serve in the military with tears and hope.
The more he understood this, the more worried Zhang Liao became. He was worried that the early Bingzhou fellows in the Western Regions did not understand the current changes in Chang'an Sanfu. He was also worried that Lu Bu's character was stubborn and stubborn, and he would never change his self-righteousness. He was even worried
What should he do if the worst situation really happens one day...
Zhang Liao couldn't think of a good way, and he was even a little scared.
After all, a lot has changed now.
Everything is completely different from what it was back then. Under such circumstances, if there is chaos in the Western Region, it will definitely be unjust.
Or to put it simply, it has lost its righteousness.
Zhang Liao walked and thought about these questions all the way, but even when he finally arrived in Chang'an and stood in front of the Yamen of Huqi Mansion, he still didn't have a relatively stable answer in his heart.
