Chapter 172: Three Strategies for Governing Barbarians
&t>
These thoughts lingered in Yang Chao's mind for a while and then were put aside.
His face was still humble, and he followed Xun Shaoyu's stroll step by step.
Zhu Yuxing, who was serving as the official chariot, had a restrained expression on his face, showing no trace of his spirit, and stood by the side with a bow.
Suddenly, Xun Shaoyu opened his mouth and said, "Sir, do you know what I am thinking at this time?"
Yang Chao paused for a moment and said, "My lord, I don't know."
Xun Shaoyu put his hands behind his hands and entered Beiyuan. He sat down casually, moved his lips slightly and said: "The battle against the barbarians took three years of hard work and three years of ups and downs. Now that I have succeeded in one day, I have done a great job."
Yang Chao's face was solemn: "My lord, I deserve such praise from my lord. In the battle against the barbarians, everyone gathered their strength, and my lord coordinated it well, and I have a clear intention. There are various chariots in front of me, and the soldiers have relieved the difficulties in the southeast; there is Chang Yun on your right The chariot guarded the northern gate; behind, there were several robes and subordinates, spilling blood on the barbarian battlefield."
"And I am only conducting military operations in Tangyi, dealing with good-neighborly relations, and maintaining stability in the rear. These are all my ministers' due share. How can I get any merit?"
Xun Shaoyu praised: "If it hadn't been for sir, who has given our army no worries, how could it have fought against the tigers and wolves? Therefore, sir, this achievement should rank first."
"For this reason, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!"
Zhu Xingxing said: "What the Lord said is absolutely true. If Lao Zuocha hadn't stabilized the rear area so that we would have no worries, how could we have kept the army and the people united."
"Um……"
Xun Shaoyu slowly nodded in agreement.
There are three chariots and horses in the mansion, and this person is especially trusted by Xun Shaoyu.
If we talk about Yang Chao, he was firmly in the left chariot position because of Cai Di's prestige over the years; Chang Yunguang was in the right chariot position because of his bravery and good fighting skills.
So all these edicts and actions were completely dependent on Xun Shaoyu's trust to be placed under Chang Yun Guangzhi and Zuo Che Yang Chao.
Being able to gain such trust from Xun Shaoyu, Zhu Yuxing not only managed the internal affairs of the official residence, but was also quite capable himself.
Moreover, what satisfied Xun Shaoyu the most was that he was not greedy or possessive in carrying out the instructions, he took credit without being arrogant, and he was able to give up his merits after receiving them.
Xun Shaoyu said calmly: "According to the instructions, although Chang Yun and Chang Yun have not fought each other, they can sit in the army and stabilize both sides, which is a great achievement."
"Although the minions in the east and north have begun to converge, giving us a little room to breathe, we can't relax our vigilance. Cultivate the power of warfare, sharpen the army's front, use the barbarian land as the base, and attack the other four directions. Cut down and expand our power."
After all the instructions were given, the two people from Yang Chao bowed their hands and said in unison: "Your Majesty's words are very good!"
The barbaric land covers thousands of miles, and although most of it is Gobi sand, there are always several green spaces. If these green spaces were combined to cover a hundred miles, they would be worth Xun Shaoyu's investment in this bloody battle.
It seems that a hundred miles of oasis is insignificant, after all, Xun Shaoyu had a fiefdom of three hundred miles. However, the poverty of Cai Di was the worst in the Lu Kingdom, and the poverty of Nan Di was the worst in Cai Di.
The barren and hilly areas account for two-thirds of the entire three hundred-mile fiefdom. The remaining one-third and half are depressions near swamps, which have no value at all for fishing, farming, hunting, and animal husbandry.
In such a situation, if Tangyi wanted to develop and grow, it could only bypass the "neighboring towns" around him and concentrate on developing barbaric lands. This was the key to Xun Shaoyu's progress.
Yang Chao said: "My lord, there is not much food stored in Tangyi. Although it can barely feed the belly, if there is a big war, this small amount of food will not be enough."
"Since the east and north sides have now given way, why don't we take the opportunity to send capable people to purchase a batch of grain to alleviate Tangyi's urgent need?"
Xun Shaoyu spoke slowly: "On this trip to the barbarian land, the bone vessels, blood stones, and animal skins we captured are all valuable items."
In the past few years, Xun Shaoyu relied on fighting to support fighting, plundering the vitality of various tribes of barbarians, and gradually developed the [Black Wings] cavalry that today frightens the barbarians.
If it weren't for Xun Shaoyu, who kept bleeding the barbarians, he wouldn't have been able to raise this cavalry that could face the barbarians' front.
After all, one thousand two hundred heavy armors, one thousand two hundred black dragon colts, one thousand two hundred hundreds of swords, each of them is a valuable thing! If it were a normal fiefdom with such a large amount of money, they could all be raised Two to thirty thousand soldiers.
Although the combat power of the [Black Wings] cavalry did not disappoint Xun Shaoyu, behind such a waste of money were the cries of tens of thousands of barbarian corpses.
Xun Shaoyu told him: "It's still the old rule, collect the blood stones into silk, bone dishes, animal skins and other objects, and you will find a way to deal with them. Then, keep three layers of the obtained stone shells as a pension, and harvest the fourth layer." For the purpose of the official residence, the third floor was purchased for emergency use of Yundao."
The bones, vessels, and animal skins confiscated from this trip to the barbarian lands were of course very expensive, but the bloodstones were a bit unsatisfactory.
After all, bloodstone is a strategic resource, and it needs to be used one piece at a time. It takes a master of the barbarian level to refine all his blood and essence to obtain a small piece of fingernail. Its value can be imagined.
Moreover, it was precisely because of the blood stone that Xun Shaoyu was able to build a strong army with blood evil level. Otherwise, the quality of the soldiers alone would scare many small countries away.
Yang Chao bowed and said, "Old minister, go and do it immediately."
After that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Xun Shaoyu smiled and said: "Sir, there is no need to rush. What is important to us now is not to hoard food and alleviate the famine."
"...but to control the barbarians!"
"The most important thing in Tangyi is to eradicate barbarian cholera."
Yang Chao Su Rong said: "What does the Lord mean?"
Xun Shaoyu said: "Barbarians and famine should be treated at the same time. Controlling barbarians should be the main task, and famine should be treated as a supplement. If these two aspects are not taken into account, how can we control the unruly barbarians?"
"In the past, the old routine of killing to stop killing does not work now."
This is a different angle!
Xun Shaoyu has gone from destruction to maintenance, so he naturally has to take care of his family wealth and will not squander it as usual.
"The barbarians number more than tens of thousands, and their sphere of influence is so vast. How can it be that one state and one country in Yuzhou suffers?"
"We still need to deal with tens of thousands of barbarians with all our heart. A little negligence will be a disaster. If it were not for the barbarians and lack of masters who can truly make the final decision, how could we have weakened the barbarians several times?"
Xun Shaoyu opened and closed his eyes and said: "However, what should we do with hundreds of thousands or even millions of barbarians? Such a huge ethnic group will inevitably have masters and great masters. I would not be surprised at all if there are barbarians of the Martial Saint level sitting in this world."
After all, in the battle with Hu Yanming that day, the big hand that came out of the sky was very telling.
Xun Shaoyu said meaningfully: "Barbarians, after all, have human blood and are part of our human race."
Zhu Yuxing said: "The Lord's intention is to recruit barbarians for his own use?"
Xun Shaoyu nodded and said calmly: "Yes, my Tangyi town is thalassemic and has only 40,000 Li Shu. How can we strengthen Tangyi? The recruitment method of five people to one armor can only reach 8,000 soldiers."
Generally, the officials of a feudal city, or even the king of a small country with a huge population base, would produce one armor from ten, one armor from thirty, or fifty-one armor from each other. This act of five armors and one armor was already a harsh policy that greatly squeezed the labor and strength of the people of the city.
But there is no way. Tangyi has a large population and is a borderland. There are often invasions and rebellions. Without strong force to control themselves, the people of Tangyi will be meat on the chopping block and allowed to be slaughtered by the barbarians.
Xun Shaoyu's eyes revealed a trace of greed, which was a possessive desire as a monarch facing neighboring lands.
He made no secret of it and said: "Yes...Although the barbarians have weak fertility and a rather sparse population, with the number of their families, they are the best supplement for me."
"Using the barbarian land as a foothold and advancing in all directions, I, Xun Shaoyu... will not be weaker than others!"
After all the instructions were given, Yang Chao was moved and said: "The Lord has lofty ambitions, and we will do our best to live up to the Lord's great wishes."
Xun Shaoyu was moved and said: "With two of you assisting me, my great cause will be accomplished and my great achievements will be achieved!"
From the moment Xun Shaoyu left Ye Ting, he secretly had an ambition to "not be willing to be inferior to others".
What's more, now that he has begun to achieve great success and has full wings, it is the time to forge ahead and strive for unparalleled success.
"One day, I will march upright and solemnly to Ye Ting. Let everyone in Ye Ting truly see the true color of my Xun Shaoyu."
The more than ten years of being in a low position and being a child had already made Xun Shaoyu angry and developed a violent temper.
Although his mind is far ahead of those of his age, years of depression and fear have also sharpened his mind. The so-called coldness, ruthlessness, unkindness, and unrighteousness are all qualities that It was gradually polished during the ten years in Yeting.
Zhu Yuxing said: "Master, if you want to control the barbarians, you first need to win their hearts. Only by winning the hearts of the barbarians is the way to achieve lasting peace and stability."
"My subordinates, I have three strategies to offer my lord, so that I can gain the power of the barbarians and conquer the barbarian lands thousands of miles away."
Xun Shaoyu was suddenly startled and said: "Seriously?"
Zhu Yuxing said in a deep voice: "I take it seriously. In the face of the Lord, how can I dare to speak falsely?"
Yang Chao on the side also listened attentively.
Xun Shaoyu couldn't wait and said, "Tell me carefully."
"Here!"
Zhu Yu saluted and said: "Though my three strategies are said to be three strategies, they are actually only one strategy. However, they all have other meanings when divided into three strategies."
"Um……"
Xun Shaoyu, Yang Chao nodded slowly and put all his thoughts on it.
"One way to control barbarians is to attack the heart."
"The intention is to get rid of the unruly mentality of the barbarians, to separate the barbarians, to inherit the lineage of the human race, and to recognize the governance of our Tangyi."
Xun Shaoyu murmured: "Attack the heart!"
Zhu Yuxing said: "The second one is: turn against the side."
"Assimilate the concepts of the barbarians, eliminate the barriers between the two, eliminate mutual hatred, and make them all work for me."
"Third: Broadness,"
"Barbarians are treated equally by the people of the town. Barbarians are regarded as the people of the town. A bowl of water is equal, so that there is no sense of superiority or inferiority between the two parties."
If these three strategies can be truly implemented, Xun Shaoyu will be able to obtain a source of troops out of thin air, and they will all be capable and brave men.
Yang Chao murmured: "Attack the heart, turn the side, and widen the position!"
Immediately, Yang Chao straightened his face, bowed to Zhu Yuxing, and said: "The three policies of Zhu Yu's chariots, each word of which are inscribed with pearls, are the basis for governing the barbarians. Yang Chao admires... admires..."
"Edicts,"
Xun Shaoyu took a look at the instructions and took them indifferently, and said: "Your three strategies don't seem to have been just thought of. I must have been worried and worried for a long time!"
Zhu Yuxing said in a deep voice: "It's not that I have worried about you for a long time. It's just my duty as a minister to worry about the Lord's worries and worry about the Lord's worries."
Xun Shaoyu held up his arm and sighed: "Okay... If these three strategies of yours are used in practice, why should we worry about our achievements?"
Barbarians are naturally brave and brave. If a military strategist were to form an army, they might not be able to include powerful soldiers of Blood Demon level or even Taoist level.
At that time, Xun Shaoyu would have such a large army at his disposal, which would be an extremely important move for the Lu State whether it was fighting for power or expanding outwards.
For no other reason than his barbarian bravery, he was worthy of Xun Shaoyu's efforts to win over him.
In the past, massacres were carried out only when there was no chance. Now that there is a chance, Xun Shaoyu has already got his hands full of barbarian blood, and the gap between the two parties has arisen. If he wants to capture the hearts of the barbarians, he really needs to work hard.
"This matter needs to be done effectively. Do you think there are candidates for supervision? Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents! You might as well tell me and let me think about it."
Xun Shaoyu's words prompted all the edicts to be carried out, Yang Chao's face became certain, and he knew that Xun Shaoyu must be extremely committed to the three strategies of controlling barbarians.
Not surprisingly, these three strategies for controlling barbarians are the basic strategies that Tangyi will adhere to in the coming years.
After all, Xun Shaoyu controlled the power inside and outside Tangyi, and the only people who restricted him slightly were Fu Sanche, and other staff members were just "yes men".
Although we were just chatting about intentions today, there were Zuo and Erqi present, almost three people who facilitated the conversation. It was certain that the overall situation was here.
Yang Chao took the lead and spoke: "My lord, Chang Yun Youchao is leading the army outside and will return soon. With Youchao's talents, there must be some high-level discussions. Why don't we wait for Youchao to return and we can discuss the strategy of controlling the barbarians in detail?"
Xun Shaoyu thought for a while and said: "That's right. You Che has been visiting the frontiers all the year round. He has a better understanding of the barbarian customs than the officials in Tangyi. The only way to control the barbarians is You Che's advice. I Only then can you truly feel at ease and worry-free.”
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a map of Cai Dikan hanging on the wooden wall of Beiyuan. The barbaric land in it was a large blank that stretched to the end of the scroll.
Xun Shaoyu pursed his lips, thoughtfully, and said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will have the upper hand and win the victory in a hundred battles."
"In the past, we used to defend passively, attack and attack mainly by surprise. If there was any disturbance, we would often flee hundreds of miles away."
"However, although we have fought bloody battles and fought dozens or hundreds of battles, our understanding of the barbarian land is only about the general area. We don't even know what mountains and rivers we see."
"This is a taboo in the military!"
Xun Shaoyu pointed to the map of Kanyu and said: "Now, I occupy the barbarian land, but the barbarian land is so vast. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Do we know their access and use them?"
"We don't know any of this..."
Following the instructions, Yang Chaoruo realized something and took a look at Cai Dikan's map: "Indeed, something is out of time."
"In this case, I want to survey the barbarian veins and roads and redraw the map of Kanyu to consolidate the control of Tang and Yi. So, why don't I start with this mapping and use this as an adjustment to start the process of controlling the barbarians?"
