"The best strategy?"

Jing Dan really wanted to know how the so-called best strategy for dealing with the Huns in the fifth reunion?

"Since it is different from Zhou, Qin, and Han and Wu, is it the "virtuous transformation" strategy advocated by virtuous literature after Han and Wu?"

Jing Dan knew that after the Hanwu period, during Huo Guang's rule, a "Salt and Iron Conference" was held for the purpose of attacking his political enemy Sang Hongyang, which mainly discussed the issue of the abolition of the salt and iron policy that had been implemented for decades. However, during the discussion, the topic was much more biased and began to argue about how to deal with the Huns.

The virtuous literature without the suppression of Emperor Wu of Han, naturally rebounded greatly. Whether it was Qi or Lu, when facing the common enemy, the "utilitarian" ministers, they all united and regarded the pioneering and conquest during the Han Wu period as a "bottom strategy."

In their eyes, how should we subdue the Huns? Of course, we must influence the Huns with benevolence and morality. The marriage ties during the Wenjing period must be restored. We must measure China's material resources, win the Huns, and try to avoid the outbreak of war. After all, the marriage ties are the princess of the Liu family, but the local geniuses do not have to pay money and people. When war is in short supply, they will also make a big tax.

According to this theory, as long as "they are benevolent and righteous, and the people are generous in virtue and be grateful for it", the Huns can actively follow them and willingly accept the Han education.

These words were originally regarded as jokes, but the worst thing was that by the time of Emperor Xuan of Han, the Huns actually came to surrender. Originally, this was the result of the king's domineering and tyranny. Emperor Xuan of Han used a big stick and carrots, and even split the Huns, which forced the Shanyu to come to the court. Unfortunately, Han Xuan passed away a few years later. In the Yuan and Cheng eras, Confucian ministers were already in charge of power. They naturally surrendered the Huns as the credit of "Dehua", and the logic suddenly became self-consistent.

To this day, there are still many old doctors from the Imperial Academy who missed the days when the Huns were obedient during the Han Dynasty, complained that Wang Mang was arrogant and humiliated the Shanyu, which led to the Beidi and the Central Plains being in trouble again! They still regard "marriage" and "recruitment" as the best strategy. Did the Fifth Reun go to Qilu for a walk and was also poisoned by these virtuous people?

When the fifth reunion heard this, he laughed and said something to Lao Wangmang.

"Wang Mang naturally had a mistake in breaking up with the Huns and China. The mistake was that they were very happy with merits and reduced the Shanyu to surrender, but they just changed one. What was the loss of the Huns? As for the later attempt to split the Huns into sixteen small states, the idea was fine, but the measures were really ridiculous. As for those virtuous literature, they were not as good as Wang Jujun."

"The reason why the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty was that the wars were caused by more than ten years of war. Ding Ling attacked the north, Wusun attacked the west, Wuhuan rebelled against the east, and the Huns were not strong enough. If they did not surrender to Emperor Xuan of Han, they might be destroyed. Now they have been restoring for decades, and the Xiongnu people have been restored, and the five Shanyu struggles have ended and they will be unified. Even if Wang Mang still practices "de-transforms barbarians", it will be a matter of time before the Xiongnu rebellion."

Wu Lun raised a hand and sighed: "The so-called Dehua means feeding tigers with flesh. Tigers can bow their heads when they are injured. Now that they have licked their wounds, they will naturally bare their fangs at us, and they will break my left arm and Hexi!"

Therefore, in the mind of the fifth reunion, the barbarians can only break the martial arts. When facing the revival of the Huns, the only way is to fight! The Huns Khan no longer dared to think that he "started from his strength and talked with the emperor of the Central Plains"!

"This battle is to make the world give up its fantasy and prepare for a long-term struggle with the northern Huns."

But the fifth reun only talked about the overall strategy. He still didn't say directly about his "highest strategy" details. He was only trying to bridge the dispute between Jingdan and Wan Xiu, and said to the two: "The most important thing at the moment is still how to save Hexi officials and 300,000 soldiers and civilians. This is an urgent problem, and Sun Qing has no objection?"

Jing Dan's opinion was mainly about the issue of abandoning and guarding Hexi in the future. However, the people on that land must be saved and they agreed to their promise.

The fifth Lun then asked Wan Xiu: "Jun You has been guarding Guanzhong for two years, training new soldiers day and night. Yu knows that Longyou is in the Ningxia, and the Qiang and Hu are still facing the west. Whether it is the battle of Jingxiang or the battle between the two Huaihe, Guanzhong has not been ordered to transport troops. Now that there is something wrong in the northwest, how many new forces can Guanzhong recruit?"

This is Wan Xiu's job, and the report reported: "The household registration statistics in Guanzhong are good, especially the registration of young and strong men in Sanfu counties is basically true. During the slack season, they can participate in county training twice a year. Now, there are 30,000 soldiers registered in each county, and 50,000 people have participated in at least one training."

The fifth reunion beat the board: "The summer harvest has been completed, and there is no big farm work before the autumn harvest. Twenty thousand county soldiers were dispatched, plus 30,000 new soldiers came out."

After saying that, he looked at Jing Dan again: "You are in charge of martial arts affairs, while Sun Qing is in charge of money and grain, and discuss with the Grand Secretary Ren Guang to see how much food can be raised?"

"No need to ask the Grand Secretary's Farmer. I can tell Your Majesty now that the 50,000 soldiers will never be able to get the food and fodder they will go to during the expedition to Hexi!"

Jing Dan knelt down directly for Di Wulun, took off his official hat and held it in front of his chest, as if he had no food and was dead, and cried: "This time, even if we go to Hexi, we will be nearly two thousand miles away by counting the nearest Wuwei! The road is rugged and the summer is sunny. You have to cross Longban and Wushaoling. You may not be able to reach it in two months at the earliest."

"A man and his lunar eclipse will be one and a half stones. 50,000 people will have to transport grain on an expedition. The food used on the road alone will be as much as 300,000 stones! With the need for mules and horses, the overturning loss will eventually reach 500,000 stones."

This can only ensure that the army arrives in Hexi. With the subsequent investment, it will be a rhythm that will rush toward the level of millions of stones!

It would be fine if the family had accumulated a few years of wealth to fight such a battle. The problem is that since the fifth reunion was called queen, it would be a battle every year. I won’t mention it. Last year’s Jingxiang Battle used 50,000 troops and consumed millions of grain. The battle in Huaibei was even more exaggerated. With a hundred thousand troops, two million stones of grain were stored in Guandong. It was used up in half a year, and at least it lasted until the wheat was mature and it slowed down.

The finances are already in short supply, so one million stones will be spent in the northwest. Even if the autumn harvest is quite good, it will be sad next year.

Wu Lun knew the difficulties of Jing Dan, but said: "I will think of another way to avoid food shortage next year. As long as the treasury has it, use it first. Furthermore, you will not use so much food in the end."

Not so? Jing Dan was anxious. Does the emperor still suspect that he had calculated the wrong thing?

Wu Lun shook his head: "Who said that these 50,000 reinforcements are going to Hexi!"

...

The five tombs in Weibei, Guanzhong: Changling, Anling, Yangling, Maoling, and Pingling are all new cities born during the Han Dynasty and have long been famous, but within these five cities, there has always been controversy.

If we count by the age, Changling, the tomb of Emperor Gaozu of Han, was the first. But if we were judging by scale, Maoling, as the second largest city in Guanzhong and not as foreign merchants and officials, could compete with each other. The roads in Maoling City were crisscrossed, with the roads being "three horizontal and seven vertical", which divided the entire county town into more than 30 miles. The most spacious main road was straight and magnificent, able to accommodate four or five carriages in parallel, with high crowns and canopies, and traveled like clouds. The family was fond of literary etiquette, the rich were profitable, and the heroes were adulterers, which was very lively.

Although your Changling has been around for a long time, it has declined!

However, since the Han Dynasty, the New Era and the Great Wei Dynasty, this issue is no longer controversial. As the hometown of the fifth reunion, Changling occupied the chief of the Five Tombs with its "Emperor Township". Maoling, which was prosperous and prosperous, could only retreat to the second place, envious of his neighbors' good fortune.

However, the people of Maoling were not convinced. When the idle people in the Lifang Restaurant got drunk, they would even murmur in a low voice: "There is an emperor in Changling, and I, Maoling, have an emperor in Maoling!"

Then he would be jammed by the person who was accused of the case. The "emperor" in Maoling was the Baidi Gongsun Shu.

But even if Gongsun Shu was removed from the list, Maoling was considered a master of spirit in the upper land. If you don’t believe it, let’s take a look at the most spectacular scenery in the city: the Three Generals.

This name is newly acquired, because in the small one, three generals of the Wei State were actually produced: General Ma Yuan, General of Cavalry, General Geng Yan, General of Carriage, and former General Wan Xiu.

The three families have the highest family, and after all, they are the descendants. The fifth family personally gave them a family reading. Although the Geng family, which is separated by an alley, has many descendants, they are particularly low-key. After all, this is the usual style of the head of the family and the Grand Tutor of Wei State Geng Kuang.

Geng Kuang was only over fifty years old, but when he heard him speak, he thought he was an old man in his seventies or eighties.

What this tutor likes most is to follow the "Five Thousand Words of Lao Tzu" and reflect on himself: "It is better to hold on and fill it up; it is better to keep it up when you look at it and sharpen it, and it is not always safe; it is impossible to keep it in the hall full of gold and jade; it is arrogance to be rich and arrogant, and it is a fault for itself. It is the way of heaven to retreat after success."

"The family business is sometimes prosperous and prosperous, and the family is indefinitely prosperous. Only by thinking carefully and acting carefully, knowing to stop and keeping the rest is the way to pass on the family. My Geng family is honored by His Majesty, and I am ashamed of being the three elders. As a general of the chariot and cavalry, my son is rewarded with countless food and money every year. It is time to be content."

He was worthy of being a Taoist student when he was young. Geng Kuang was not interested in power. After receiving the fifth reunion in Hebei, he retired bravely and refused to hold any actual position. He only enjoyed the honorary title of "Taifu" and was ready to live his life.

Not only did he ask himself that, Geng Kuang often persuaded his eldest son Geng Yan, who returned to his hometown to recuperate: "You are arrogant and are only twenty-six years old this year, younger than Your Majesty. Among the generals, he is second only to Ma Wenyuan. Don't fight again, just use the excuse of injury and learning from Jing Sunqing, stay in the capital for resting more, and stay away from merits!"

Geng Yan was very annoyed, but he was filial and didn't seem to curse people in the army. He scolded his father, so he could only respond silently. He usually leaned against the shade of the tree, read the actual training records compiled by the fifth reunion, and reflected on his shortcomings in Huaibei last time.

But three or five days are fine. After ten months of rest, Geng Yan became more and more impatient. His family life was too boring. He even often returned to the war in his dreams. The time when he was fighting for force and wisdom with his enemies made him feel alive!

The fifth reunification describes him: greed is like a wolf, what is greedy is merit and fame is indeed true.

Geng Yan's difficult days came to an abrupt end in mid-July 2016!

On this hot day, Geng Yan looked at the almost-turned military books and was very upset when he listened to the harsh cicadas, but there was a sudden commotion outside. Soon, someone walked into the yard and stood in the moon gate and smiled at Geng Yan with his hands behind his back.

"Bo Zhao, can the injury be healed?"
