Chapter 499(1/2)
For the Hongnong Yang family led by Yang Zun, the conditions put forward by Liu Yu were not only a good opportunity, but also an unpredictable challenge.
However, they are no longer allowed to object at this time.
Tens of thousands of troops in Huayin County can kill people at any time.
Fortunately, Liu Yu did not want to move all the Hongnong Yang family, and left a considerable part of the population in Huayin.
After dealing with this matter, Liu Yu led his men to live in another Yang family house.
This house is the house left by Yang Jun, the prime minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, and is used to accommodate so many people.
Liu Yu could not enter Chang'an immediately at this time and needed to continue to station in Huayin.
Although Gou Xi, who was ahead in Chang'an, had already controlled the city in the name of the Han general, the inside and outside of Chang'an was not stable and needed to be gradually calmed down.
Liu Yu wanted to continue to recruit these powerful men in Huayin and use the strength of these powerful men to fill Guanzhong.
"Your Majesty, after all, the border areas of Anding County, if the Yang clan members are kept in the fertile field, the gains from them will definitely be greater than those in Anding County. Why do you have to move them to Anding County?"
Just after he settled down, the attendant Xun Sui asked in confusion.
There is no way, the Xun family in Yingchuan and the Yang family in Hongnong are both the same wealthy families.
If Liu Yu could send Hongnong Yang's family to Anding County, the border may send Yingchuan Xun's family to unknown which border.
Liu Yu also understood Xun Sui's thoughts very well.
"Dao Xuan knows why Liu Yuan had only 50,000 troops back then, but he was able to conquer the two capitals and cause trouble in the Central Plains for more than ten years?"
Liu Yu did not answer his doubts, but asked back.
Xun Sui and Liu Yu were about the same age, and immediately became aware of Liu Yu's thoughts.
"I think that it should be because the Jin Dynasty's house was dark and the struggles between the kings were endless, so that Liu Yuan had an opportunity to take advantage of it." Xun Sui said.
Liu Yu shook his head when he heard this, and then said.
"No, this is too simple."
"There should be the reason why the monarch and ministers in the Jin Dynasty are weak in talent and virtue, and it is impossible to restrain the barbarians." Xun Sui added.
"That's all part of the reason, and it's far from thorough enough."
Liu Yu took out a document, which was filled with household registrations from various counties in Yongzhou.
These documents on the household registration list were sent by Gou Xi from Chang'an.
"The main reason why the Huns were able to use only 50,000 troops to disrupt the Central Plains for more than ten years was that they lived in the heart of Bingzhou, and the nearest place was only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and the cavalry raided between the Japanese."
"Wei Wu had no choice but to place the Southern Xiongnu in those days." Xun Sui said softly.
"I naturally know this, but I have made this mistake once, and I must not make any mistakes again in the future."
Liu Yu also understood Xun Sui's intentions.
After Cao Cao conquered the Southern Xiongnu, because the population of the Central Plains was greatly reduced, in order to restrain taxes, the Southern Xiongnu were divided into five tribes and lived in Bingzhou.
After all, it is because of population problems.
"What Your Majesty mean is to use the population of the Central Plains to fill the gaps in frontier prefectures and counties?" Xun Sui said.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"However, the Central Plains are fertile and the border is remote, so people may be very resentful."
Xun Sui said worriedly, although Yang Zun and others from Hongnong Yang's family have agreed, Anding County is not far from Hongnong County after all, and Yang Zun has the opportunity to be appreciated and can occupy a large area of fertile land in Anding County.
If it were a latecomer, I'm afraid there would be no such good luck.
"Haha, it's true that the frontier is remote, but Yongzhou and Bingzhou are far from being considered a real frontier."
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty had completely given up on the Han Jiuyuan and Yunzhong counties, so that as long as the counties approached these two places would be considered as border guards.
So much so that Jiuyuan County, the hometown of the famous son Lu Bu, has become the old nest of the Tuoba Xianbei.
Liu Yu continued.
"The world is so big that it is not absolutely just one Central Plains. Since the Yellow Turbans, the chaos in the Central Plains has led to the withering of the population, and the Central Plains has experienced a situation where there are few people and many lands."
"But once the world is stable in the future, the population will inevitably grow rapidly. When that time comes, when the rich are everywhere and the poor are not in a place to stand, what will Daoxuan think about the world?"
After hearing this, the expression on his face immediately looked ugly.
He frowned, thought about it carefully, and then replied.
"I'm afraid there will be a disaster for the Yellow Turban, or a matter of the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow."
After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
It is not in vain that Xun Sui has been following him for so long and has already obtained his own "true teaching".
"Yes, when the number of Han people in the Central Plains increases greatly in the future but the land does not increase, without more land to cultivate, you will not be able to support your family. If the weather is good, it would be fine. Once you encounter famine and man-made disasters, it would probably be another bloody storm."
"At that time, these border barbarians will probably make a comeback again."
"Maybe it's even harder to deal with than the five Huns."
Liu Yu said with a worried look on his face.
This is not Liu Yu's alarmist statement. In fact, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the prestige of the Central Plains dynasty has been greatly reduced. In addition, due to the right time and place, the surrounding frontier nations have already possessed extremely strong troops to threaten the Central Plains.
In history, the Huns were defeated, and the Jie people followed closely behind, and then Murong, Di and Qiang fought for decades.
During this period, the Tuoba Xianbei, which had always been centered on Jiuyuan and Yunzhong County, had grown into a giant.
When the Tuoba Xianbei brought the aura of the grassland king into the Central Plains, Murong Chui and Liu Yu could no longer resist the heroes of the moment.
This is not the end. Then all the forces of Rouran, Turks, Goguryeo and other large and small have been threatening the Central Plains for more than 200 years.
The further we go, the more difficult it will be for these barbarians on the frontier.
Therefore, Liu Yu resolutely decided to take advantage of the power of defeating the Huns now to further eliminate the surrounding barbarian forces.
"Your Majesty, now that Guanzhong has already been obtained, shouldn't you rest and recuperate, and then go to Bashu first and then visit Jiangdong?"
Xun Sui was slightly surprised.
Because he knew that the actions that Liu Yu mentioned required a lot of manpower and material resources and still had time.
Cao Wei followed the route mentioned by Xun Sui, not to mention that Li Xiong, the Cheng Kingdom of Yizhou, is far inferior to Shu Han.
As long as Liu Yu sent an elite army to attack Hanzhong and Yizhou, he might be able to conquer it in one go.
"Li Xiong, a Di native in Yizhou, is just a refugee commander, not to mention that the locals in Yizhou are all gangsters who are both tyrants, so it's not too late to deal with them later."
Liu Yu continued.
"As for the Sima family in Jiangdong, they are subject to the powerful ministers who cross the south and cannot command the powerful families in Jiangdong from the outside. They are entangled in all parties, and sooner or later they will be destined to be destroyed."
Xun Sui was still a little worried when he heard this and said.
"Your Majesty has now recovered the two capitals, and the orthodox Han Dynasty is already obvious. If the Sima family in Jiangdong can still regard themselves as the Southern Dynasties, wouldn't it be a detriment to Your Majesty's reputation? At least, they should send envoys to Jiankang to make them regard themselves as vassal ministers, just like the story of the King of Wu of the Great Wei and the King of Wu back then!"
Now that he heard that Liu Yu was not in a hurry to settle the Sima family in Jiangdong, Xun Sui was actually a little anxious.
The Xun family in Yingchuan went through the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. No matter which dynasty changes, they all had the reputation of loyal ministers and filial piety and the real benefits of high-ranking officials showing titles.
Now that Liu Yu has defeated the Xiongnu, he is about to succeed in the great cause of the "Sanxing Han Dynasty", the Xun family in Yingchuan is just a contribution of some staff members, and it is not enough to be named marquis and generals.
Therefore, the former families like Xun Sui hoped that Liu Yu would be able to pacify Jiangdong by a little faster. No matter what method was used, the families of these families would always gain great contributions.
As for the old feelings between ancestors and Sima Yi and his son, they were completely out of their consideration.
The Sima family is already in danger of protection, and they don’t want to sink into the Sima family.
This is not the first time I have done something like stabbing my former teammate in the knife.
When Liu Yu heard the four words "King of Wu in the Great Wei Dynasty" mentioned by Xun Sui, he was immediately happy.
After a long time of getting along, the words Liu Yu often said about daily humiliation were remembered by Xun Sui and others.
"Hahaha, although I often tease the King of Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty, Sun Quan has always been ambitious to go north and has at least four attacks on Hefei."
"But now, Sima Rui in Jiangdong is not only a heroic son, but Sima Rui himself is far away from the King of Wu, Wei and Wu."
After Liu Yu said that, he looked at the Yongzhou household registration copy on the table again.
"The real enemy is these frontier barbarians."
"If all these barbarians are subdued, they will be able to create a prosperous era for hundreds of years."
"Otherwise, even if Yizhou and Jiangdong are pacified, the manpower and material resources that are consumed within the country will not be able to wipe out these barbarians."
"Where is Your Majesty planning to start?" Xun Sui asked.
He had already understood what Liu Yu meant. No matter what the reason was, Liu Yu did not seem to regard the Sima family and son in Jiangdong as real enemies, but instead attached great importance to these barbarians in the frontiers.
It means that they will never give up until they are wiped out.
"Of course we start with the Tuoba Xianbei!" Liu Yu said very simply.
"Tuoba Suolu?"
"Yes, it's the Tuoba tribe. The Tuoba tribe thought he was backing on the grassland and had a way to retreat. He had surrendered and rebelled again and again, so he started with them first."
