Xun Yu's strategy requires the support of the whole country. Only by migrating enough people can the grassland be completely taken into hands, which is a bit too difficult.
"If the lord insists on adopting Wen Ruo's strategy, I will be responsible for relocating the people."
Hearing Yuan Shu's embarrassment, Ju Shou looked at it. Although he did not agree with this, who calls him the lord? As a minister, he could only support it with all his strength.
"I don't want to stir up conflicts because of this. It is best for people to be spontaneous. You must not force it."
Seeing Jushu accept the move, Yuan Shu was also stunned. He must know that if the migrating people do not do well, big troubles will occur, and the person who presides over the migration work is likely to be infamy and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
"Lord, there are actually two problems for people to go out to open fields. One is the safety issue. After all, outside the fortress, you may face invasion by aliens at any time. If this cannot be solved, no one will dare to go out.
The second is the issue of fields. If the benefits are not great enough, there will be no difference between going outside the fortress and inside the fort, and no one will go.
As long as these two problems are solved, it will not be difficult to guide people out of the fortress and toward the grasslands."
Ju Shou answered Yuan Shu's question with confidence.
"oh?
So how are you going to solve these two problems?"
Hearing Jushou's analysis, Yuan Shu also became interested. Since Jushou had seen the problem, he must have thought of a solution.
"The first security issue can be easily solved. We can prioritize military reclamation and send militia and regular troops out of the fortress to reclaim fertile land. This can not only solve the security problem, but also reassure the people at home and let them see that there is nothing outside the fortress.
dangerous place,
As for the second land issue, we can promulgate a decree that stipulates that the amount of cultivated farmland shall be calculated based on household registration. The more cultivated farmland, the longer the tax exemption period. At the same time, seeds, living materials, and cattle will be distributed based on the amount of cultivated farmland.
thing,
In this way, their safety can be guaranteed and as the land increases, their interests can be maximized. With the government leading the people, I believe it should be able to attract a large number of people to live out of the fortress."
The method that Jushou thought of was to focus on guidance, use interests to guide the people out of the fortress, and let them go out on their own, so that there would be no ethnic conflicts and no vicious incidents.
"My Lord, what I said is true. Moreover, now that we occupy the land outside the Great Wall, we can also distribute it to meritorious soldiers. This will not only increase the population outside the Great Wall, but also increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the country. It is the best of both worlds."
After hearing Jushu's method, Xun Yu also sincerely praised him. Not only could this solve the problem of people's inactivity, but as long as the people left the fortress and built cities, they would be able to firmly control the entire grassland in their own hands. It can be said to be utilitarian.
Chiaki's actions.
"Well, this can be used as an alternative policy. If that's the case, then follow my original arrangement and order all the troops to seize the time to go north.
At the same time, we will arrange relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, publicize the benefits of crossing the Great Wall to the public in advance, and adjust public sentiment.
In addition, we immediately arranged for someone to contact Bu Dugen and said that he was willing to canonize him as a chanyu of Xianbei and to send troops to help him annihilate the rebellious Kebi Neng."
Now that he has a complete plan, Yuan Shu has nothing to hesitate about. The battle concerning the fate of the Han Dynasty begins at this moment.
Xun Chen immediately headed north to return to Youzhou without stopping. Xu Rong had already led his army back to stop the Xianbei people when they appeared outside the country. Youzhou also began to resist under the command of Xu Rong, resisting the Wuhuan people.
attack.
Bingzhou received the telegram and immediately arranged for the Weilu Army and the Xianden Army to go to Jizhou. However, Chen Gong fell into deep thought after receiving the telegram.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yun saw Chen Gong frowning and approached him.
"Take a look."
Chen Gong handed the telegram he had just received to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the telegram and frowned slightly after reading it.
"What do you think?"
Chen Gong looked at Zhao Yun.
"It stands to reason that although Tadun unified Wuhuan and had more than 100,000 troops, most of them were just miscellaneous soldiers, and the cavalry under his command was only 50,000 at most. Now that the lord has mobilized us to go north, does he have other ideas?
"
Zhao Yun also looked at Chen Gong and directly expressed his thoughts.
"My lord is planning for the future. The people from Duwuhuan now are very likely to be the Xianbei people in the future.
The Xianbei grassland has fallen into chaos and war since Tanshihuai. It does not pose a big threat to the Han Dynasty for the time being, but once they are unified, it will be the Han Dynasty's biggest foreign threat.
Therefore, the reason why my lord mobilized so many cavalry to go north was apparently to deal with the Wuhuan people led by Tadun, but in fact, he was aiming at Xianbei."
Chen Gong saw clearly that there was no need to mobilize so many cavalry to deal with a small Tadun. Therefore, the reason why Yuan Shu did this must have foreseen the possible situation in Xianbei in the future, and he wanted to launch an attack on Xianbei in the grassland.
"The Xianbei people are in chaos now. If they head north rashly, will it cause any trouble? For example, if the Xianbei people give up their hostility and join forces to fight against us?
Wouldn’t this be self-defeating?”
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Zhao Yun put forward his own opinions.
"Don't worry, my lord will never let the Xianbei people have a chance to unite. If it were me, I would definitely win over and attack. This would not only weaken the strength of the Xianbei people, but also eliminate the disaster of Xianbei.
In infancy."
Chen Gong shook his head. What Zhao Yun could see, Yuan Shu's many resourceful people could definitely also see. Although he didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking, he should have a countermeasure.
"But even if we can defeat the Xianbei people, the huge grassland cannot stop them. When other barbarians appear, there will still be problems for the big Han."
Although Chen Gong was right, he felt that a weak Xianbei might be more beneficial to the Han Dynasty, rather than annihilating all Xianbei.
"I don't know. My lord didn't say it clearly. You only asked my lord these questions when you arrived in Jizhou."
Chen Gong glanced at Zhao Yun and said to Zhao Yun. He also knew that Zhao Yun was right, but since Yuan Shu wanted to fight, he must have a countermeasure. If the fight was not successful, he would never send troops.
"I will send someone to announce the order to Meng Qi and prepare to lead the troops northward."
Since he couldn't guess what Yuan Shu meant, there was nothing to say. Zhao Yun directly clasped his fists at Chen Gong, and then arranged for people to go to Jiuzhen to convey the order to Ma Chao.
Jushou began to make arrangements to incite public opinion. For example, the outside of the Great Wall was not a bitter cold land, but a treasure land with rich water and grass and pleasant scenery. At the same time, under the organization of thoughtful people, people from the mainland began to go to the outside of the Great Wall in small groups to explore the situation there.
The Youzhou local government temporarily replaced Xun Chen in Tianchou and transferred Xu Rongle and Lang County back to Yuyang. At the same time, with the assistance of Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, they organized and trained militia to resist the Wuhuan forward attack by Tadun.
As time passed day by day, the Weilu Army and the Xianden Army who set out from Bingzhou rushed to Jizhou first. At the same time, the cavalry recruited from Bingzhou and Qingzhou also came to Jizhou to gather.
With the arrival of these three waves of troops, Jizhou's cavalry already numbered 50,000, and the infantry combined with the militia also numbered 70,000 to 80,000.
"Lord, now that Jizhou's soldiers and horses have no problem defeating Tadun, do you want to send troops now to eliminate Tadun's threat first?"
Jushou looked at the soldiers and horses in Jizhou City and directly proposed to go north first and kill Tadun first.
"Well, let's do it like this. Immediately order the troops and horses to go north. At the same time, tell Zilong that after he arrives in Jizhou, he will immediately go north to Youzhou to provide support."
Yuan Shu also agreed to Ju Shou's proposal and led his army northward to defeat Tadun. As for the Xianbei people, time was still long and they were not in a hurry.
"Lord, do you want me to accompany you this time?"
Since Yuan Shu agreed to send troops first, Ju Shou also expressed his wish to accompany him.
After hearing Ju Shou's words, Yuan Shu shook his head.
"The situation in Xindu is complicated now and we need you to take charge, so don't follow me north."
After hearing Jushu's words, Yuan Shu shook his head. The situation in Xindu was too complicated now. He would not be at ease if Jushu left. If he was fighting in the front but had problems behind him, then the gains would outweigh the losses.
"Then let Gongda or Wenruo accompany you. After all, you need someone to go north with you."
Since Yuan Shu did not agree to accompany him, Jushu mentioned Xun Yu or Xun You to go north together.
"Xun You is willing to accompany your lord to Youzhou."
"Xun Yu is willing to accompany my lord to Youzhou."
If Yuan Shu is the leader and the center of everyone in the Jizhou Army, then if we want to judge the number one person under Yuan Shu, it must be Jushu.
Whether it was Tian Feng who joined Yuan Shu at the same time as him, or Xun Chen who planned Jizhou, or Xun You and Xun Gongda who were also among the four great planners, none of these people could compare to Jushou's position in the Jizhou Army.
It is precisely because of Jushu that the Jizhou Army can feel at ease during all its expeditions. It can be said that Jushu is the mainstay of the Jizhou Army.
Therefore, as soon as he spoke, Xun Yu and Xun You did not hesitate and immediately expressed their willingness to follow Yuan Shu.
"No, there is not much time to pacify Liangzhou. Gongda needs to be there to take charge of the overall situation. And Wenruo has just been awarded the title of Grand Sinong. It is also very important to preside over the situation of the Grand Sinong Mansion in Xindu. After all, it is related to the national economy.
If you weren't here, there would be chaos,
No one of you is going to accompany me this time, I can just go north by myself. If there are friends in Youzhou, they will be able to deal with those foreign races."
Yuan Shu thought for a while and realized that since the two of them could not move, it would be most appropriate to go north alone.
"but."
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu again. He was still a little worried about going north. After all, he was now the number one man in the Han Dynasty. If something happened to him, it would be like the sky fell for the entire Jizhou Army.
"Okay, I'm not as weak as you think. Besides, with the guards here, it's impossible for anyone to threaten me."
Yuan Shu naturally knew what Ju Shou was worried about, but now it was obvious that none of these people could leave. He also knew why he had so many advisers now that no one could go with him.
"My lord, I would like to recommend a person to you. With him, we can ensure that this northern expedition is worry-free."
