For some reason, the bamboo pole in Xiaoying'er's hand suddenly fell to the ground as she just walked to the entrance of Huangfu Song's tent.
But I saw this little girl squatting down, groping hurriedly on the ground for a while, getting up and muttering: "Po Zhuzi, why do you have to fight with me..."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stood up and staggered away in the distance.
Neither the pottery merchant nor Huangfu Song in the tent paid much attention to this minute detail.
Huangfusong looked at the pottery merchant in confusion, as if he didn't understand why.
"Well done, why are you going to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits?"
The pottery merchant sat down opposite Huangfu Song and said patiently: "In today's world, countless people are displaced. Even if Zhang Jiao is dead, there are still countless Yellow Turban remnants in the world. The remnants of the Thirty-six Qushuai in the past are in trouble. Many people are suffering from natural disasters.
People are displaced by man-made disasters, and they join the Yellow Turbans instead of producing. I think everyone on the left and right has already come here. Why not on the way back to Xuzhou, while eradicating the Yellow Turbans and calming internal strife, gather these people who have gone astray and let them return to farming.
, resume production, and find stability as soon as possible... This can also be regarded as a benefit to the world."
When Huangfu Song suppressed the Yellow Turbans, he always focused on killing, and the ferocity of his methods could be described as frightening and frightening.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that he once built the "Jingguan" with the bones of 100,000 people, this move made the rest of the Yellow Turbans in the world tremble... The so-called "Jingguan" is a high tomb made of corpses.
!
Although he had the idea of Tao Shang back then, he didn't quite agree with it. How could the rebels regain control? Regardless of their identity, those who dare to rebel must be punished...
But times have changed, and today Huangfu Song has been repeatedly turbulent. He was almost killed after being imprisoned in Luoyang. Now he has to separate from his son and family members because of the war. Under such a blow, Huangfu Song's temperament has become less cold.
In addition, as I am getting older, the murderous and violent spirit of the past has gone away a lot.
And he also understood that if the world is in chaos now, if we want to restore great order, we must restore production... And if we want to restore production, the foundation lies first in people.
He was a little surprised at the pottery merchant's idea at first, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was really an act for the country and the people.
In the heart of the pottery merchant, the essence of the Yellow Turban Army is actually very admirable. The noble officials of this era all called the Yellow Turbans thieves or bandits... But after the pottery merchant came back from time travel, he often talked about the Yellow Turbans with others.
At that time, he always called him "Yellow Turban", but never called "Yellow Turban Thief".
Even in Runan, when he and Xu Chu jointly dealt with Jie Tianyaksha He Man, until the moment He Man committed suicide, the pottery merchant never called him a thief... Even though He Man's behavior in the world made him very disdainful.
.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was the third peasant uprising in Chinese history. Those who participated in the uprising were basically farmers at the lowest level in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They had to join the rebellion because they could not afford to eat... Most of them just wanted to survive, to be able to
There is a way to survive, so I have no choice but to do this brain-destroying thing.
Potter believes that there is nothing wrong with people doing crazy things to survive, and it is an understandable behavior.
It is a pity that when Zhang Jiao was still alive, he proposed a clear goal of struggle: to defeat the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He used religious forms to effectively unite the revolting people, but unfortunately he had no fundamental political and governance ideals.
With the development of history, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor, has passed away. The Yellow Turban Rebel Army, which was the largest and most religious in the beginning, has been completely disintegrated by the warlords. To this day, the remaining Yellow Turban Army scattered in various states and counties are also extremely powerful.
It is huge, but it has lost the original intention of the uprising and cannot represent the fundamental interests of the people at the bottom! The Yellow Turban Army in each state is just a giant bandit group formed by the leading Qu Shuai in the name of the Yellow Turban Army for their own selfish purposes!
They did not make decisions for the people. Instead, they slaughtered the oppressed peasants for their own selfish desires, which was more terrifying than the warlords.
These remnants of the Yellow Turbans now belong to the saboteurs of this era. Not only did they not bring about social transformation, but they also worsened the situation and weakened the productivity of the Han Dynasty.
The pottery merchant understood that if he wanted to realize the "grand blueprint" hidden in his heart, he would need a large amount of productivity. And in this era, the most fundamental representative of productivity is population... But the pottery merchant can't go to all the princes.
Are you going to seize the territory for the population? The princes' refusal is one of them. Besides, what's the difference between this and the bad guy who kills people and sets fire?
Therefore, the pottery merchants turned their attention to the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, who terrified the governors and magistrates of various states!
This is the wealth of the population in front of us... The problem is that the process of obtaining this wealth is quite dangerous, and it may not be certain who will take it.
However, he was lucky enough to have Huangfu Song, his teacher who taught him the art of war... This famous general who single-handedly suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising, and his understanding of the Yellow Turbans was probably unparalleled in the world. With his guidance, Tao Shang felt that he could succeed.
.
After finding out the potter's final intention, Huangfu Song stroked his beard and fell into deep contemplation.
The potter did not disrupt his train of thought. He knew that Huangfu Song was now thinking about the feasibility of this matter for him.
After a while, Huangfu Song opened his eyes and said seriously: "Your idea is good."
The potter's face suddenly dropped... The idea is a good one... Another way to put this sentence is: just think about it, don't daydream?!
Huangfusong seemed not to notice the potter's unhappiness, and continued his analysis: "Finding ways to conquer all the Yellow Turban forces and guiding the people who mistakenly fell into the mud to return to their normal business and farm production is a great way to restore the vitality of my great man.
It’s a great thing…but it also has some difficulties.”
After hearing this, the pottery merchant felt that there was something behind Huangfu Song's words, so he hurriedly said: "Teacher, please give me some advice."
Huangfusong stretched out his old palms, counted his fingers one by one in front of the pottery merchant, and said: "First of all, there are too many remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the world, including Heishan, Qingzhou, Baibo, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, and Runan.
, green ox horns, five deer, swine root, etc., there are dozens of yellow scarf bandits, including thieves and their families, it adds up to less than a million, how do you do it?"
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "I understand, I can't just go wherever I want in this world. I want to sort out the big pile of yellow scarves first..."
Huangfusong broke off his second finger and said: "Big ones? Hey, the biggest ones in the world are the Yellow Turban thieves from Montenegro. Their leader Chu Feiyan is constantly collecting the Yellow Turbans from all over Hebei. His subordinates, including the people and the troops, have already
With a population of close to one million, what is the difference between this and other princes? He is even stronger than most princes! The imperial court had no choice but to appoint him as a general in trouble, and ordered him to manage the mountains north of the Yellow River... This guy
He is even qualified to recommend Xiao Lian to the imperial court, and sends planners to Luoyang every year to report. It can be said that he is a country within a country. Do you want to deal with him first?"
The potter frowned and said, "The Black Mountain Army has recruited a population of one million, but how many troops are available?"
Huangfu Song said slowly: "Anyway, there are more than the ten thousand people you have."
The potter thought for a moment and shook his head.
The gap in strength is too big and they are not on the same level at all. Montenegro's Chu Feiyan has now reached the platinum rank... She is at best a silver player.
"What's the next best thing? Don't move the largest stock, but move to a less powerful one?" The pottery merchant asked Huangfu Song again.
Huangfusong shook his head: "No matter how small the power is, you can't eat it... Away from Luoyang where we are now, going north to the west of the Yellow River, there are the White Wave Yellow Turban Bandits of the Xihe River, and the leader Guo Da has fifteen people under his command.
Sixty thousand...At this time last year, they had advanced to the east of Hedong. Dong Zhuo, the old thief, ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead an army to suppress them, but they could not win. One can imagine their strength. Can you fight?"
Bai Bojun... The pottery merchant carefully calculated it, and found that it was a bone that could be chewed... The problem was that his strength was still much stronger than his own.
Huangfu Song saw that the pottery merchant was silent, and then said: "Also, even if you can defeat the Baibo Army, what about the rear protection? When the coalition attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu and Han Fu unified the north and south routes to transfer all the troops.
The grain and fodder allocated by Chuzhou County ensures the military supplies of the princes. In this way, soldiers and horses can fight without worries... But now that the alliance army is about to disband, if the grain and grass from Xuzhou are transported here, it must pass through the territories of the princes. At that time
The alliance has been broken up, how can you ensure that the food road can be reached smoothly?"
The potter thought for a moment, stood up and said slowly: "I have insufficient troops and horses, and insufficient food and grass. I have ways to solve these two problems... I also ask the teacher to help me carefully plan how to conquer the Baibo Army this time."
Huangfu Song couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "If you can really solve the two problems of insufficient troops and food and grass! I will help you achieve your wish. It depends on whether you have this ability."
