Chapter 271 Kirby Neng: The hero of the desert is calling me
Chapter 271 Kirby: The desert hero is calling me (please vote)
While he was deep in thought, Jiang Wei pushed the door open and came in. He cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, there is a messenger coming from the grassland. Kebi Neng only wants to support our army from behind and is not willing to take the lead in raising troops to attack Wei."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and looked at Ma Di.
Ma Di further said: "When we go to the grassland, the prime minister only needs to ask for the title of King of Jin and governor of the two Youzhou territories. In this way, he can be used by me to raise troops to attack Wei."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang did not comment.
Jiang Wei was confused and said: "Youchang, this and Youzhou are not under my control, Ji Han, how can I grant Kirby the power?"
If it’s not my Shu Han’s territory, I can’t give it away to others?
Boyue, Boyue, you are still too young. Ma Su smiled slightly: "Three years ago, during the alliance between Wu and Shu, the two emperors also made an alliance to stand side by side and divide the nine states of Wei. At that time, Wei was not in Shu and Wu.
How can the two countries separate their hands?"
"This..." Jiang Wei suddenly became speechless and couldn't answer.
Ma Su continued: "I just want to ask you, if so, will Kobe be moved?"
Jiang Wei nodded, it was indeed difficult for Kirby to resist such temptation.
It is true that the two states of Bing and You are not in the hands of the Shu Han, but as long as the Shu Han believes that these two states belong to Kebineng, once the two states join forces to defeat the Wei State, then these two states will definitely belong to the Xianbei people.
However, although Jiang Wei could not refute Ma Su's "empty promise" strategy, he still felt that something was wrong, so he asked again: "If God helps me, Ji Han, successfully destroys Wei, then won't this You and the two states have to be surrendered?"
Give it up to foreigners?"
Hearing his words, Ma Di raised his eyebrows: "If Wei falls and Ji Han dominates the world, how can these two states be lost?"
How could it not be lost?
You have already promised to others.
Jiang Wei was startled: "You Chang just said that your Majesty would like to issue a decree to make Kirby the King of the Jin Dynasty..."
"It's just talk. When the time comes, we can issue an imperial edict to allow the Xianbei people to return to the grassland." Ma Su waved his hand nonchalantly.
"What can I do if he doesn't obey?" Jiang Wei asked.
"Then beat him!" Ma Di said word by word.
"Ah...this..."
Jiang Wei's whole body was not feeling well, and he felt that his worldview was a bit broken.
Ma Su patted him on the shoulder and said with sincerity: "Bo Yue, don't you know that there is no better way to lure people than to lure them with benefits? Anyone who wins people's hearts will eventually win the world."
Hearing this, Jiang Wei glanced at Zhuge Liang first, and found that the prime minister also had a surprised look on his face, so he nodded silently, seeming to have learned a lot.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and then took over: "Although the best strategy is good, the previous estrangement did not last long, so it may not be effective this time. The next strategy is too reckless, and there will be a bloody battle between Shu and Wei; in the middle, Shu and Wei will definitely have a bloody battle.
The idea of moving the tiger away from the mountain, avoiding the reality and replacing the reality, is quite in line with my wishes. In this way, it is hard for me to make this trip."
Ma Su smiled and held up his hands, full of confidence in this trip to the grassland. He cleared his throat and talked to Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei to clear their doubts.
Of course, the most important thing is to clear Jiang Wei's doubts, because Zhuge Liang should understand the truths he wants to say.
As the saying goes, everything in the world is bustling for the sake of coming; everything in the world is bustling for the sake of going.
Interest and power are things that everyone desires.
In the face of power and interests, it is difficult for people to keep their true intentions, and they usually commit a fatal common mistake: eating alone, which is nepotism.
And this kind of behavior will inevitably arouse the jealousy and resentment of others, and even become the target of public criticism.
In this regard, there are two people who are the most representative. The closer case is Liu Bei, and the further case is Zeng Guofan.
In the early days, Liu Bei did not understand the principle that "power can be shared but not independent". After acquiring Xuzhou, he handed over all power to his two sworn brothers and did not reuse other talents in Xuzhou. As a result, he regretted losing Xuzhou.
Many talents, such as Tian Yu, Chen Deng and his son, Xu Shu, etc., all left first and later to join Cao Cao. Even Liu Bei himself wandered around for most of his life and achieved nothing. The talents under his command came and went, but they were still the same ones at the beginning.
There are almost no people.
It wasn't until he paid three visits to the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang out that Liu Bei realized the importance of delegating power and interests to his subordinates. As soon as Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Liu Bei entrusted him with the important task of raising money, food, soldiers and horses. After conquering Yizhou and Hanzhong, Liu Bei made a large number of new ministers.
For example, Ma Chao, Fazheng, Li Yan, Huang Zhong, etc. all received generous rewards, while old ministers such as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun received very few rewards, which aroused Guan Yu's strong dissatisfaction. Finally, Liu Bei unexpectedly made Hanzhong Prefect
Leave it to Wei Yan, who has recently taken refuge, instead of Zhang Fei.
Thus came the prosperity of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Although this grand occasion did not last long, and he fell into the bottom because of Guan Yu's careless loss of Jingzhou, there is no doubt that Liu Bei fully realized it in his later years. Before his death, Liu Bei even used the imperial power to the extreme, so he had Zhuge Liang.
Under the leadership of Shu Han, it was a blessing that Shu Han struggled out of despair.
You must know that when Liu Bei died, there were only thirteen counties left in the Shu Han Dynasty, and there were five groups of soldiers around them, which were a sure sign of the destruction of the country.
But now, only ten years have passed, the national power of the Shu Han Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and it can now confront the Wei State head-on alone.
Another example of Liu Bei's early encounter was Zeng Guofan. When Zeng Guofan formed the Hunan Army to resist the Taiping Army, he believed that possessing righteousness can inspire others, and he will inevitably raise his arms and respond.
But Zeng Guofan soon discovered that the talents who initially defected to him all went to another Hunan Army general, Hu Linyi, so he asked his staff Zhao Liewen: "Everyone came out to me, why did they all go to Hu Gong?"
Zhao Liewen replied: "Everyone has private interests. If you can't be an official under the public's command, and you can't get any wealth, what will you do if you don't leave?"
Zeng Guofan asked: "Then what should I do?"
Zhao Liewen replied: "Those who gather the private interests of many people can become the public servants of one person."
Only then did Zeng Guofan suddenly realize that from now on, he would treat his meritorious subordinates "with money from military men and fame from literati", and to use heavy rewards to "gather everyone's selfishness and encourage them to win." Especially after he became the Imperial Envoy and the Governor of Liangjiang, he often took advantage of everything
Opportunity to recommend staff to become officials.
As a result, Zeng Guofan's shogunate became prosperous, filled with talents, and finally defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and achieved the legend of the Hunan Army.
For every person or force, profit is always their most important goal.
If it cannot, it must be contrary to the contrary.
Great righteousness can recruit talents, but it cannot win over talents and other forces that do not belong to me, so that they can be used by me.
And by using the strategy of "using people to benefit movement", we can "use the soldiers of the Xianbei people to accomplish the great achievements of the Shu Han".
This strategy was also one of the strategies used by Ma Su when he attacked Jiaozhou. He promised heavy profits to the Lu family, alienated them and stood on the opposite side of Sun Quan, and alleviated the pressure from Soochow who might betray the alliance at any time.
After explaining the truth, Ma Di still felt a little embarrassed even though he replaced Zeng Guofan with Anonymous.
There was silence in the room.
Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei stared at Ma Su with their eyes wide open. Both of them were familiar with history books and had never seen the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom". However, Taiping Taoist Zhang Jiao had heard of it.
But the trajectories of Zhang Jiao and the Taiping Rebellion didn’t match up either.
But this is not important. What is important is that this strategy is very vicious.
They all feel that the success rate is extremely high.
This is enough.
Ma Di bowed his hands, said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, took his four generals and the great wizard, and while it was still early, he left Nanzheng City and headed north to do what he should do.
…
Monan, Shicheng.
Kirby was able to ride his horse and stop on the hillside, facing the red sun setting in the west. He squinted his eyes and looked down the mountain with contentment. There, the busy figures of the tribesmen came and went, all showing the strength of the Xianbei people. .
Since he crushed Han Long's assassination plan last year and killed Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, Kirby Neng has been in a very happy mood.
Although the leader of Wei, Cao Rui, quickly transferred Tian Yulai back to serve as the governor of Youzhou, at that time, Cao Wei's national power was at its peak. He faced the siege from Shu, Wu, and Xianbei alone and did not fall behind. The national strength is no longer what it used to be, especially after the tens of thousands of elite cavalry were lost in the Longliang area, they can no longer stop the Xianbei people's iron hoof.
From last winter to this spring, Kirby was able to go south to Han Dynasty and plundered as many as twenty times. Each time, it was like entering uninhabited territory without any hindrance.
Each time, a large amount of food, adult women and strong men were grabbed.
Food was used to solve the famine in the tribe, ordinary Han men were assigned to do coolies, and talented Han men were assigned to educate the Xianbei people, allowing them to speak Chinese, recognize Chinese characters, and practice Chinese customs; as for the beautiful Han women , then she was naturally assigned to the Xianbei people as wives.
Of course, since the Xianbei people are monogamous, the extra Xianbei women are naturally arranged to be married to ordinary Han people.
Seeing that under his leadership, Zhongxianbei's tribe has become more and more populous, more powerful and more educated, Kirby Neng is sincerely gratified.
Facing the dappled light and shadow, Kirby could see before his eyes the heroic figure of Tan Shihuai, the former hero of the desert.
He imagined that one day, like Tan Shihuai, he could establish a royal court in Danhan Mountain, plunder the Eastern Han Dynasty to the south, resist Ding Ling to the north, repel Fuyu to the east, attack Wusun to the west, and completely occupy the homeland of the Xiongnu. Now in the past, Xianbei was more than 14,000 miles long from east to west and more than 7,000 miles long from north to south. It repeatedly attacked the Han Dynasty's "Nine Border Counties" and the Liaodong vassal state. It rejected the Han Emperor's proposal to "make the king and marry him" in a strong trend.
Although the ideal is grand, Kirby also knows that this road to revival is not as easy as he imagined. Although Zhongxianbei has 100,000 cavalry, the total population is only more than 700,000, less than one-eighth of the Wei state. The army is less than a quarter of that of Wei.
This comparison of the basic market is almost exactly the same as the basic market when Ma Chao and Cao Cao went to war twenty years ago.
At that time, Ma Chao was victorious in many battles and Cao Cao was defeated in many battles. However, Cao Cao relied on the large population in his territory and strong reserves to hold on, while Ma Chao only lost once and was uprooted.
In view of this, Kirby could know that the current military strength of China and Xianbei was not enough to confront Wei head-on.
The Xianbei people need allies.
The most suitable ally is undoubtedly the Shu Han.
But the Shu Han ally was not very kind. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, always wanted the Xianbei people to take the lead in order to attract the attention of the Wei army.
As the leader of Zhongxianbei, Kebineng's IQ was naturally sufficient. He immediately rejected Zhuge Liang without hesitation and sent an envoy to tell Zhuge Liang that if the Shu Han did not take action, Xianbei would not take action first.
Anyway, he, Kebi, was still in his prime and could afford to wait. The Wei State without large-scale cavalry could not do anything to the Xianbei people.
So he is not in a hurry!
After paying attention to this, Kirby became more confident when he could overlook the southern country.
He believed that the day when the Xianbei people would rise was not far away.
However, Kirby Neng has always had doubts in his heart.
Whose eagle is that?
Who actually saved his life?
What was this person's purpose in saving him?
These three questions have been lingering in Kirbineng's mind, and he was puzzled by them. He could not let them go for a long time, and tortured him until he was almost in a daze.
………
Guanzhong, the exit of Tangluo Road, the boundary of Mei County.
Five men and one woman rode five horses and walked slowly on the official road.
Yang Baiwan said with longing: "General, sooner or later, I will lead troops to Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and the grasslands, and reclaim these places as Han territory."
Li Sheng looked at the young Yang Baiwan and said: "One day, you must go to my grave to burn paper, tell me, and let me rest my eyes under the Nine Springs."
Yang Baiwan looked at the fierce sun in the sky and asked puzzledly: "Why should I burn paper for you?"
"Because I didn't forget to tell Naiweng about the family sacrifices."
After saying this, Li Sheng laughed loudly, galloped forward on his horse, and was far away in a blink of an eye.
Yang Baiwan was stunned, with a confused look on his face...
Seeing Zhang Xiu and Huang Xi looking at him with sympathy, they suddenly shouted: "How dare you bully my ancestors! Don't run away! I want to challenge you, drive! Drive! Drive!"
Yang Wanwan angrily rode after him.
Zhang Xiu and Huang Xi laughed.
In the evening, as soon as everyone set up tents in the wild, Yang Baiwan and Li Sheng came back on horseback.
Yang Baiwan got off the horse, waved his fist with a proud look on his face and said, "Humph, let's see if he dares to tease me again!"
Li Sheng also covered his head and hurried back on horseback, got off his horse, squatted aside covertly, picked up a branch, and drew circles on the ground.
Judging from the situation, Yang Wanwan is more powerful, and it seems that he was dealt with very hard by Yang Wanwan.
Li Sheng waited for Yang Wanwan to finish speaking, then muttered in a low voice: "Huh, if I hadn't been so happy, how could you have caught up with me? Young people don't have martial ethics."
After saying that, seeing Yang Wanwan standing aside in a state of disbelief, Ma Di was busy playing with the wooden barbecue grill and flipping the oily lamb legs on it without saying a word. Li Sheng said anxiously: "General,
I am a platinum lieutenant general, and he is a gold lieutenant general. According to military law, what crime should be committed by the following?"
Ma Su hummed casually: "According to military law, you should be beaten with forty military sticks."
Hearing this, Yang Wanwan's pretty face turned even paler.
Li Sheng laughed, glanced at Yang Wanwan proudly, and said to Zhang Xiu and Huang Xi: "Brothers, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Beat him!"
But Zhang Xiu and Huang Xi didn't move, they both looked at him strangely.
Li Sheng was suddenly dissatisfied.
Zhang Xiu thought for a while and explained: "According to military law, it is indeed wrong for Xiao Yang to hit you, but we are not in the army now, and the general has been suspended for more than half a year..."
This time it was Li Sheng's turn to be dumbfounded.
Instead, Yang Wanwan burst into laughter.
Li Sheng had followed Ma Su for so long, and this was the first time that his colleagues had dealt with him so miserably. After enduring it for a while, he finally decided to change the subject and asked with a stern face: "General, where are we going?"
Ma Su stood up, ran with his hands behind his back, looked at the north, and smiled slightly: "Surprise attack on Chang'an and capture Sima Yi alive!"
Then, he pointed his hand at the four people and said, "How about I order the four of you as the vanguard to attack the Wei camp and capture the Sima family and his son alive?"
The four generals looked at each other quickly and curled their lips, obviously not believing this statement.
Ma Di also tried to scare everyone in this way last time, but in the end he just made a hasty sneak attack on Chen Cang.
The most important thing is that this time the general came with the great wizard, and the great wizard did not know martial arts.
There are various signs that this time, the general must be joking.
Therefore, even if Sima Yi has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, everyone has nothing to fear.
"Hahaha..." The four of them looked at each other and smiled.
Ma Su didn't explain, turned around, picked up the roasted leg of lamb, opened the curtain and got into the tent.
