When Gongsun Xun just arrived, because he was chatting too much, he suddenly brought up the difficult matter he had encountered with his confidants last night.
Of course, I regretted it a little after I said it...it was too reckless.
However, what he never expected, and what was immediately surprising to him, was that the other party could give a positive answer so neatly.
"What worries you should be that the regulations of the county magistrate prevent you from gathering enough troops. And if you entrust this matter to the prefect, or even unite the prefects of several surrounding counties, the credit will hardly fall on your shoulders?" Shen Pei said seriously.
asked.
"That's right." When the matter reached this point, Gongsun Xun naturally calmed down and answered calmly. "Is there anything Zhengnan can teach me?"
"As far as I know," Shen Pei said calmly. "The soldiers and horses of this dynasty have always been fine rather than large, so once the war begins, the central government will directly issue orders, recruit and hire troops on the spot, and these temporary soldiers and horses
But it’s not just the Han army... I came from western Liaoning, and along the way I saw countless Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Huju who were afraid of surrendering to Han culture. Why don’t you imitate Huangzhongyi and recruit one or two temporarily?”
Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly, and then suddenly laughed loudly... He was not mocking the judge, but he was mocking himself. As a descendant of a border county, he actually forgot about this? He actually needed the judge to remind him? He was really confused!
Yes, it is difficult to obtain soldiers and horses within the Han Dynasty's system, but outside the Han Dynasty's system, or semi-system, there are many soldiers and horses... I am talking about the various semi-Chinese people who survive on the border.
Ethnic minority tribes.
In other words, of course there is a little bit of nationalism these days, but around the Han Dynasty, this kind of nationalism is more of a one-way nationalism. In other words, the father of the Han Dynasty discriminated against everyone else, and you were not allowed to secretly pretend to be yourself.
They are Han people, and all the surrounding ethnic groups, except for Tan Shihuai, who is both strong-headed and somewhat capable, most of them followed his father in the Han Dynasty and discriminated against him... I didn't see that the Mushroom King, Mute Keli, was all wearing straight robes.
Wearing a beam crown and pretending to be an old Confucian scholar?
And the Di tribe... Gongsun Xun may have been influenced by his mother, so his values are a bit skewed. When he saw the official documents from the Di tribe at the Shangshu Desk, he simply felt that it was unreasonable! Poor people, the Di tribe farmed in Longxi, and since then
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was placed under the governance of Han County from the beginning, and he cultivated land for three hundred years. He was a standard Chinese farming nation, but no one was willing to give him the nationality of the Han Dynasty. No matter how much he asked, he refused to give it, which is pitiful.
no!
And according to Aunt Gongsun, it is hard to understand why in the following dynasties the southwestern barbarians who had changed their land and returned to exile rebelled every day because of something...
All in all, these ethnic minorities on the border don't care who they want to fight. It can even be said that apart from feeling a little guilty about fighting the big men, they have no scruples about turning back to fight their own people... As long as there is a reward, it will take a long time.
In order to generate the idea of loyalty, it is mostly allegiance to a single person and has nothing to do with the nation or the country.
For example, the Yi Cong of Huangzhong mentioned by Shen Pei were actually the Qiang people who migrated from the Western Regions. As a result, they performed extremely bravely in Duan Xi's battle against the Xiqiang, and became famous in Xiliang, causing the Xiqiang people to become famous.
During the battle with Duan Xi, they specifically shouted for Huang Zhongyi to come out and fight them. What this mercenary did was also to a certain level.
And back to the present, in fact, there are similar tribes in Youzhou that are specially supported by the imperial court... yes, they are the Wuhuan people. With Gongsun Xun's standards, he is naturally not qualified to summon the large-scale Wuhuan tribe within the system, but he did
He is qualified to use his reputation, family background, official position, and financial resources to summon all the Zahu and the middle and lower Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes within sight!
One more thing, Mohu Zang and his extremely Sinicized Mohu Xianbei tribe are the most commonly used vassal tribe of the Gongsun family... and I heard that this guy has been doing better and better recently.
……………………
Late at night, after Shen Pei's reception banquet, Gongsun Xun called Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Wang Xiu, and Han Dang, who was called back by a temporary horse...and of course Shen Pei himself.
Then the six of them came together to Zhao Yun's courtyard to hold another small banquet. The autumn wind was howling, but they did not let the maid wait for long.
"Is it feasible?!" Lu Fan asked seriously. All his knowledge of the five counties outside the Great Wall of Youzhou was only learned temporarily in the past two months, so he was really confused.
Of course, from another perspective, Lu Ziheng's quick and superficial questioning has a vague feeling of "correcting his position" - you must know that the arrival of the trial match has somewhat affected his originally extremely stable position. It's just that.
, Lu Ziheng is not a fool. He naturally knows that more and more talents will join his lord's command in the future, and as Gongsun Xun's first personal minister, he must maintain a correct posture and beware of it.
At this time, asking a question that must be asked before everyone else does. In fact, the significance of being first is far greater than the question itself.
"It's feasible." Han Dang put down his wine glass and was the first to respond. He was a native of western Liaoning, so he answered simply and neatly. "I haven't figured out the direction from Liaodong to Lelang, but just from western Liaoning to Xuantu, it's
There are tens of thousands of miscellaneous people who can be gathered, and they are even called hundreds of tribes. Moreover, even the many Wuhuantou and Xianbeitou people who have titles in the imperial court and Danhan Mountain are willing to lead troops if they have money and silk to share.
Those who came here to do private work... It is even said that after Shaojun Huo Shao Dan Khan became famous in the northern Xinjiang, this group of people may not dare to come if they are recruited!"
"Are there actually so many bastards?" Even the judge who put forward the suggestion was shocked for a moment, holding the chopsticks in his hands. "I just saw many tribes attached to my big man on the road, and then exchanged trade, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Scale?! Tens of thousands of miscellaneous beasts, if they gather together, will they become a disaster like the Qiang in Xiliang?"
"How can something like a dog cause trouble?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting at the top, said without any concern. "What we should worry about is the fighting power of these people... Don't look at what they claim to be a hundred tribes, and there are tens of thousands of them.
Everyone, if the main force really fails, they will run faster than anyone else! When I was a child, I heard from the elders of the clan that when Tanshihuai first rose up, the Xianbei bandits followed them, and our Han army went out
We will sweep them away and follow them. As time goes by, these people will not be allowed to come near when the two countries are at war, so we will save a waste of military rations!"
"Young Master is right," Han Dang laughed and raised his glass. "Even if you want to follow the army to fight the autumn wind, you have to pay attention to family background and strength. Who among the locals doesn't know about hundreds of tribes and tens of thousands of people?
It’s just that the miscellaneous things are too mixed and messy... However, Mohu Zang’s Mohu tribe is a rare orthodox Xianbei tribe in western Liaoning, and what’s rare is that the skills of several of that guy’s men are not bad at fighting.”
"This is the kind of tribe we want." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "If the Mohu Xianbei, Duanbu Xianbei, and Wuhuan people call out two more decent leaders, there will be three thousand elites.
...Then we will select seven or eight of these miscellaneous men who can have two to three hundred young men, and let them beat the drums and fight with the wind. This will basically put together an army that can barely fight."
"But it's not enough!" Han Dang couldn't help but put down his glass of wine and persuaded him seriously after hearing this. "Young Master, we also need a Han army that can hold down the position! The thousand civil defense can only serve as a rearguard, it's best to come again
A thousand true elites of the Han army!"
Gongsun Xun slowly nodded: "Indeed, the most powerful of these tribes are only seven or eight hundred people. According to their temperament, our Han army must be the largest to command them... at least a thousand elites! And preferably...
Cavalry! Only in this way can we have enough battlefield dominance!"
"And Shaojun," Lou Gui, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke up. "If you want Mohu Zang and the others to come from western Liaoning, I'm afraid they can only summon them via the Amway, right?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, except Shen Pei, who was slightly puzzled: "Your Majesty, when I visited the old lady before, you asked me not to talk about Goguryeo. Why is this? Could it be that the old lady doesn't want to see this matter promoted?"
"Of course." Gongsun Xun smiled awkwardly. "My mother doesn't want me to be in the limelight anymore... I will talk about the specific reasons later."
The examiner knew something was wrong, so he nodded slightly for the time being and asked no more questions.
"If so," Wang Xiu, who was also participating in such a meeting for the first time, couldn't help but interjected. "Once the army is launched, according to what Shi Cai Lingjun said, there will probably be seven or eight thousand people... An army of this size,
Although we are only going to neighboring Goguryeo, the logistical supply problem is still huge. If the states and counties are not allowed to come forward, where will the people and food come from?"
Gongsun Xun was speechless for a moment... He had just filled a seemingly impossible hole, but discovered so many new holes one after another?
"An elite cavalry force of at least a thousand people; channels for mobilizing tribes; logistical supplies..." Seeing everyone silent for a long time, Lu Ziheng continued to act as the summary of the meeting. "Those are the three things."
"Let's not talk about this." Gongsun Xun suddenly smiled and raised his glass and asked. "Zi Bo, Zi Heng and the Mushroom King have been talking in the courtyard for a whole day without coming out. How was the discussion?"
"This mute can be thought of as a cunning old man who talks nonsense." Lu Fanfang was about to speak, but Lou Gui had already put down his chopsticks angrily and started speaking. "Last time, he patted his belly and said that he could win over Huan Nabu, who was also being excluded and suppressed, and then Wu Bu
There must be two of them that can be internal responders; the next moment, he suddenly said seriously that it was all nonsense before. In fact, what he really relied on was the 1,500 palace guards, because he had served in that garrison.
The commander-in-chief of the Guards; when we were so angry that we were about to leave, he pulled us to say something. It was all a test before. This time he is acting alone, and all he can rely on is his own troops..."
"There are two different meanings." Lu Fan added helplessly. "He is indeed here to ask for foreign aid to destroy Ming Lin Da Fu, and he is determined. But if he cannot see the real powerful people, he will not
Real reliance speaks out.”
"Just let him come to see me right away." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly.
Everyone nodded... Goguryeo was just like a county in the Han Dynasty, and one of its clan leaders was as miserable as a lost dog. What else could he do if his lord, the magistrate of Xiangping County, could talk to him?
However, those three things make people worry...
"Don't worry too much." Gongsun Xun smiled again and raised his glass when he saw this. "It's better than having no clue at the beginning. The following problems seem to be more tricks to hide the truth. If you think about it carefully, there must be some.
...You all go back and wait for my news, and by the way, Lord Yi goes to call the dumb Kexi over."
Everyone quickly toasted and said goodbye.
This was Zhao Yun's inner courtyard, so once it was over, everyone left cleanly, and no one was left behind. However, after leaning a little, the mute but shy person followed Han Dang in.
PS: Thanks to Mo Shaoshang for being the fifth cute person, I am grateful.
