Chapter 67 Lobbying Shan Yu
To be honest, Li Su studied in her previous life, studied for graduate school, and stayed in the workplace until she was in her thirties, but her life trajectory was always in developed coastal areas, and he had never been to those provinces in the mainland.
Who made him an introvert who likes to climb up with strength instead of human feelings and society?
This is his first time in Jin territory in two lives. Only after he has personally seen the geographical environment here can he realize why the battles that took place in Shanxi in history were fought like this.
As Zhao Yun led the way, Dian Wei escorted him over Danshui, walked along the ridge of Daliang Mountain and headed to Xuanshi County. Li Su saw several small mountains of Han Wangshan, Daliang Mountain and Shengfo Mountain.
These mountains are not as steep as those in Shu or even Yunnan and Guizhou, but they just cut vertically and crossfully to divide the battlefield into small pieces. If it is a pure encounter, the cavalry may be able to climb over the group board to form an impact.
But as long as a positional war is formed, it will last for a few days. The geology in Shanxi, which is almost easy to dig as the Loess Plateau and even the soft alluvial plains in Hebei, will force both sides to dig trenches and walls, relying on mountains, rivers and valleys, to form a situation where the defense is beneficial to the defense and the attacking party is weak.
As Li Su walked along the way, he saw that 60,000 Baibo's army were surrounded in a vast area where Dan River is in the west, Daliang Mountain is in the south, Hanwang Mountain is in the east, and Bailishi is in the north.
The Xuan family county was behind the middle section of the Bailishi defense line. When Li Su and his party arrived, it was already dark. However, the Bingzhou army was not afraid of Baibo thieves stealing the city. Seeing that Li Su and his party were very few, they immediately opened the door and let it go after verifying the seal.
A general who inspected the city was extremely tall and majestic. He was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to guide Li Su. He looked like an ambitious member who was quite enthusiastic about fame and fame and liked to please the court officials.
"Li Zhonglang is welcome to be the chief clerk of Bingzhou Governor Lu Bu, and meet Li Zhonglang."
When Li Su heard that he would report his name, he was slightly shocked and subconsciously took a step back. Fortunately, he touched Zhao Yun's hand next to him, so he calmed down.
Don't be afraid, we are on the same side as Lu Bu now, and there is Zhao Yun on the left and Dian Wei on the right.
"It turned out to be the Lord Lu. When Su was in Youzhou, he heard that the Xianbei and Qiang Hu were afraid of Lord Lu's reputation. He was lucky enough to see him, so there was no need to be polite." Li Su immediately returned to his state of chatting and laughing and bowed back to his gift.
He never had the idea of recruiting Lu Bu. The main reason why Lu Bu's character and loyalty were too suspicious, and this was a key figure in helping Dong Zhuo succeed and a key figure in killing Dong Zhuo in the future. Li Su didn't want to destroy these butterfly effects.
All the plans he and Liu Bei made were arranged according to the arrangement of "relying to be a party's guard and the authority of the court collapsed." If the court did not collapse, then he would have to "find a business before the middle way was exhausted." Therefore, those small actions that might affect the center before Dong Zhuo's death were not good.
Lu Bu introduced the situation very enthusiastically: "Since Li Zhonglang was sent by the imperial court to recruit Yu Fuluo to the general of the Huns. I am bluntly saying that Yu Fuluo did not take the lead in every battle in Hedong, Bingzhou and other places, and only knew how to preserve his strength! He never lags behind in plundering and profits.
If it weren't for his order from the court that he could help fight and encircle and suppress the Baibo thieves at any time, it would be better if such a friendly army would not be! His ten thousand cavalry were known as the most elite under the Shanyu tent, and in my opinion, he would be worse than my three thousand Bingzhou Han cavalry!"
Of course, Li Su knows what Lu Bu complained about.
Compared with those Han generals, Yu Fuluo's biggest worry was that he would not be able to supplement the soldiers if they died too much. He claimed to be Shanyu, and he could only supplement the Huns if he wanted to supplement the new recruits. No Han people would work hard for him, and he was embarrassed to recruit Han people.
Hedong is already quite far away from the five Xiongnu counties in the north. This is not the source of troops. Yu Fuluo also hopes to rely on the 10,000 people left by his father Qiangqu to make up the profits. He has been fighting very carefully for more than a year.
Li Su took the opportunity to appease Lu Bu: "I am here because of this. As Lu Zhuan led the way, I will persuade Yu Fuluo to give up the salt seized in this battle and leave it to you Bingzhou Army to compensate your army for the losses in combat. However, the fine and soft gold and silk are not the limit. I guess Yu Fuluo will not give up. I will find another way to compensate them."
Since Li Su wanted to abduct Fuluo to herd horses in the Dazhong area at the junction of Liangzhou and Hanzhong, it would be inconvenient to bring too much heavy salt, so it would be better to do this favor.
When Lu Bu heard this, he was overjoyed: "Thank you, Li Zhonglang for mediation! I thank you on behalf of my envoy."
Li Su took the opportunity to say, "But I also have something to ask about - I heard that the conflict between the Gui Army and Yu Fuluo was caused by Qin Yilu and Qin Junhou being killed by Qin Yilu, but the Marquis of Qin Jun was dead, I think the Chief Lu would not covet his comrades and the man was not dead. For the sake of your two families' face, the woman stayed at Guan Duwei, and Guan Duwei would deal with it separately?"
Lu Bu's face looked a little ugly in an instant, as if he was quite unwilling to accept it, but when he thought of Li Su Xunuo's tilt of the spoils, he agreed in pain.
Forget it, it was Qin Yilu's woman anyway, not his.
Lu Bu thought that it was Li Su who wanted to keep such a beautiful woman, but he didn't expect that it was Guan Yu who secretly asked Li Su just now.
After negotiating conditions with Lu Bu, Li Su was soon led to the county government office and met Yu Fuluo.
Before entering the door, Li Su stretched out his hand and Dian Wei tactfully handed over the nine-pointed flags. Then Li Su first made a report, and then entered the house with neither humble nor arrogant words: "The Han envoy Li Su, the general of the Central Army of the Huns, met His Highness, the Great Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu."
Yu Fuluo had received the reward in advance and was greeted by the ranks: "There is a labor force to come far away."
These are all lines prescribed for hundreds of years. Even if Li Su comes from Luoyang not far, he has to say that he comes from far away, pretending that he is still in the royal court of Beiwu County.
Li Su: "I heard that Shanyu helped to suppress the hardships. Due to the shortage of food and salary, there were frequent frictions with friendly troops and local areas. The court specially sent me to mediate and tried to break up."
Yu Fuluo: "I have been worried about this for a long time. I have asked Your Majesty several times to help you fight against the rebellion, return to your hometown to eliminate the rebels, and to revive the rebels of Xubugudu, and to restore Hetao and the five counties in Hexi. However, Your Majesty was seriously ill and did not want to pay attention to it. The general in the court and the military captain were unwilling to declare this righteousness.
If it weren't for this, why did the Gu have been trapped in Hedong for a long time? Shangdang repeatedly collected food and wages. There was a saying that Gu was unhappy. Xian Shanyu listened to His Majesty's order and Liu Youzhou sent a private message to persuade him. Only then did he send Gu to lead our elite warriors south to help quell the Zhang Chun rebellion. If it weren't for Xian Shanyu's loyalty to the court and causing the emptiness of the royal court, how could he give Xubu Gudu Hou a chance to take advantage of the situation? Xian Shanyu was considered loyal to the Han Dynasty and died for his country and died for his country. How could the court not restore the country for the sake of Gu? The principles of the world are only one word of righteousness."
Li Su didn't want to be taken away by the other party's hard work. After listening to Yu Fuluo's words patiently, he quickly cut the mess and switched directions:
"I have never denied this, but we have to look forward to it. I am here to solve the dilemma of the Shanyu. Shanyu should know that the letter Liu Youzhou sent to Xian Shanyu was done by himself. Liu Youzhou surrendered to the Wuhuanqiu Liju was also done by himself. But these things were not out of my original intention. I just did it on order. When the general summoned Xian Shanyu to send troops, I dissuaded him.
I think that with so many achievements first, the Shanyu should not doubt my vision. Any clear path I pointed out to people will prove that I am right in the end. As long as the Shanyu can trust me as Qiu Liju trusts me, I promise to help the Shanyu restore the five counties of Hetao and kill the Hou of Subugudu, but not now."
Li Su said this a bit risky. If the other party holds a grudge, he blames Li Su for part of the secondary reason for his father Qiang Qu's death, which will also lead to a sudden increase in the difficulty of persuasion.
But Li Su believes that Yu Fuluo has been worn out to a less irritable temper over the past year. Li Su can at least emphasize his two golden signs: "It's like a god" and "those who listen to his advice will have a good end."
When doing a bid for commercial negotiations, you have to present historical performance first. The better the historical performance, the easier it is to convince people, and there are more bargaining chips in negotiations.
Yu Fuluo thought about it and was not stupid: "You represent not just the court, right?"
Li Su smiled: "I would like to find a horse farm for Shanyu, and raise troops for several years first to wait for the thief's feelings to change. As long as Shanyu is willing to leave, the prefect of Hanzhong, Duke Xuande, will also provide convenience for Shanyu. I promise to help Shanyu restore the throne within ten years and kill the Hou of Xubugudu.
And first give Shanyu 100 million yuan, which is considered as the settlement fee for migration. If Shanyu wants to assist in the war in the future, he will also pay full food and salary according to the standard of levying Wuhuan Tuqi during the Guanghe period of the imperial court."
While Li Su said, he came prepared to expand the map and showed Yu Fuluo the alternative grassland west of Wudu and near Liangzhou.
Yu Fuluo was also familiar with geography. After thinking roughly, he knew that the quality of the place was OK, and it was fine to raise tens of thousands of horses. He was a little further away from his nest. In the future, he needed to rely on the court to quell the Qiang Rebellion and then recover Hetao from Liangzhou.
If it were more than a year ago, Yufuluo's pride could not agree. At that time, he was still immersed in the state of enterprising spirit of his father Khan who had just been killed and regarded as a new Shanyu. Only after a year of encountering walls can he understand that restoration of the country is not so easy.
Li Su didn't want to offer a too high price all at once, and he also hoped to better and completely assimilate and swallow the Southern Xiongnu.
Although Yu Fuluo himself did not change his surname in history, he could not resist his son's generation. He changed his surname to Liu Bao and his grandson to Liu Yuan.
Li Su first deceived the other party away from the base area and slowly harsh it. Sooner or later, the other party will become more and more depressed, and finally he has to change his name and completely give up Hu's customs.
Yu Fuluo thought for a while: "What do you think of this matter?"
Li Su smiled: "What are the refusals to the grassland prefectures and counties that are still in the hands of the Qiang thieves in Liangzhou? I will handle the procedures in Luoyang. As long as the Shanyu is willing to leave, he will swear in front of the army tomorrow. I will organize some Baibo thieves who were captured before to watch it, and let them go back after watching it. Should the Shanyu be willing to cooperate with this?"
Yu Fuluo waved his hand: "What's the difficulty?"
The key is whether to move and help Liu Bei fight. Yu Fuluo doesn't care about those ritual things.
But Li Su knew that as long as Yu Fuluo agreed, the legal basis for the existence of the Baibo thief would collapse, and a considerable number of the Baibo thiefs would have a step to surrender.
