Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3034 A new thing among the old things

 For most nomads, they do not have a very clear political goal.

Only a very small number of them have the ambition to invade the Central Plains of China. Once these few people become the leaders of the Mobei nomads, they will often bring disaster to the farming people in the Central Plains of China.

Qifu Heqian held a meeting of tribal leaders.

If Qifu Heqian finally succeeds in taking over the Central Plains, perhaps this gathering will be called a victory conference, a hero, a gathering, etc. On the contrary, if nothing can be accomplished, it will naturally be called another one now. A loud conference name is useless.

Hence, these nomadic tribal leaders don’t care at all whether there are any colorful flags hanging around the gathering, or whether the ground in the venue is flat or uneven. They just focus on one thing.

how to spell?

 There is no doubt that Yu Zhudan supports Qifu Hegan. The reason for support is simple: Yu Zhutan wants revenge. Only by taking revenge on the Han people will the remaining power of his father-in-law truly recognize him. This is somewhat like the successor ceremony of some black organizations in later generations.

Suli frowned. Perhaps because he likes to frown from time to time, he has deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, like a scar or a hidden third eye. Su Li was silent and rarely spoke.

Suli is older. He is an old Xianbei of the same generation as Budugeng Kebineng. At that time, Suli almost occupied Yuyang. Almost, because the moment he entered the door, he was kicked off the bed...er, the city wall. At that time, the Han cavalry left a deep impression on him. He originally didn't want to come, but if he didn't come, then he might not have the right to lead the Xianbei tribe...

Suli doesn’t talk much, but some people talk a lot.

 Gu Jin laughed loudly, "Beat the Han people!" Good thing! Although my sons and daughters are currently preparing for the winter and I can’t spare too many manpower...ah hahaha, but no matter what, I support it! Say, what do you need? Cattle, sheep, horses, weapons and arrows, it’s all easy to say! Easy to say! This time, we must let the Han people know that Shi Wei is not all weak rabbits! There are heroes too! In the past few years, if I hadn't been inseparable in Liaodong, I would have had a good fight with the Han people! 』

Mika behind Su Li stared at Gujin fiercely, but Gujin didn't care at all, he laughed hahaha, as if he didn't care at all. He said from the beginning that he was a straight person and could easily offend people with his words, so now he said something that was both a gun and a stick, so what's the problem?

Qifu Hegan did not stop Gu Jin from ridiculing Su Li, because it was beneficial to Qifu Hegan.

Suli is a veteran, a figure from the older generation of Xianbei. Although he has not done anything decent, there are more than a dozen small Xianbei tribes such as Mika and Queji behind Suli. If Suli jumps out and It is quite a headache for Qifu Heqian to compete for the position of alliance leader, so if Gu Jin talks more about Su Li's scandals, Su Li will naturally lose the qualification to compete with him for the alliance leader. .

 Mo Huba sat aside, wearing his classic walking headband, looking at this and that, and touching the walking headband on his head from time to time, with a half-smile on his face.

As for the Rilu family members who were specially mentioned in Yuzhu Dan, they were like servants, sitting at the bottom, and even personally carried the koumiss to refill the drinks for the other tribal adults.

Qifu Heqian's eyes were bright: "Put the other things aside for now!" Now is the best opportunity, we can take advantage of this opportunity! A greater sin than incompetence is cowardice! Incompetent people can still go to the battlefield with you, but timid guys will always be just a burden! The Han people themselves are at odds with each other. This is the best opportunity. This is the opportunity given to us by God! 』

 Gu Jin laughed, clapped his hands and said, "That's right!" Yes there is! The timid are a burden! I agree! I definitely agree about taking this opportunity! It's just that all my sons are in the mountains and forests of Liaodong. If I want to summon them... it will still take some time, but! quickly! Hahaha, very soon! There is no need to worry about this problem, but you need to worry about whether the timid person will have any other problems... Mika, why are you staring at me? what do you want to say? 』

Suli still didn’t speak, lowering his eyelids as if he didn’t hear. He put one hand behind his back and held down Mika’s arm.

 The characteristic of nomads is loose alliances.

This was true whether it was the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty that later took over the Central Plains.

 In fact, Su Li is quite visionary and strategic. When Bu Dugen and Ke Bi Neng were fighting, Suli led a group of small Xianbei tribesmen to stay away from each other. They not only expressed their surrender to Bu Du Gen, but also showed their goodwill to Ke Bi Neng. They mainly wanted to sit on the mountain. Watching the tiger fight, at that time Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng both thought they were great and looked down on Su Li's three melons and two dates, so they mainly focused on fighting each other and didn't have much interest in Su Li. action.

Suli later attacked Yuyang and also seized on the weaknesses of the Han people. If Wen Chou hadn't arrived in time with Yuan's cavalry who still had some morale...

This time when I came to the rally, I was humiliated many times by Gu Jin, intentionally or unintentionally. However, what is intriguing is that Suli seemed not to hear it from beginning to end, nor was she angry, nor would she argue with Gu Jin.

 It’s not that Suli has a good temper, but that he has contempt for Gujin.

 The reason why Gujin has been targeting Suli is because Suli and Gujin are bordering each other, and there has been a lot of friction between the two sides very early on. Su Li believed that Gu Jin was treacherous and greedy. Although he was somewhat brave, he had no long-term strategy, so he did not pose much of a threat to him. On the contrary, it was the new Qifu Hegan who made Su Li more afraid.

Suli couldn't figure out the specific strength of Qifu Hegan. He didn't know how many people there were in Qifu Hegan. He didn't know whether Qifu Hegan had any special talents. Just relying on this aspect at the meeting, or some simple words, can't explain anything. Suli needs to look at it again and think about it again.

However, the temptation for Su Li to erode Youbei is still relatively large, otherwise he would not come to the rally.

　Conquering Yuyang will bring you salt and iron. This will almost qualitatively improve your own strength. How can you give it up so easily?

It's a pity that the Han people in the south are not only the Han people in Youbei. Just like Suli is not sure about Qifu Heqian's ability, he is also not sure whether the Han people in Youbei and the Han people in the west are enemies or friends. , are they really falling out, or are they planning to dig a hole and frame Xianbei again...

　　　　I agree with Yuyang. Su Li's words were short, but they got to the point. "How can we be sure that the Han people are not plotting to frame us?" There are many Han people. It’s not worth it for us Shiwei people and Han people to exchange our lives for our lives! 』

Qifu Heqian sneered, "When King Tanshihuai was alive, we Shiwei people were invincible because we had a strong spirit in our hearts!" Now this energy is almost gone! If we continue like this, we will fall on our own without the Han people fighting us! 』

 Gu Jin applauded from the side again, saying that Qifu Heqian was right, he just wanted to give the Han people a look. Gu Jin is from Wuhuan. If the Xianbei people win, he can get a share of the pie. If Xianbei fails, he will eat a piece of meat from Xianbei. Anyway, neither the left nor the right will lose. Fight, why not fight? If you don’t fight, you’re a coward!

Qifu Hegan listened to Gu Jin's compliments and nodded with satisfaction. Then he threw Su Li an eye-dagger and said in a deep voice: "My plan is to send a small force first to join the Han people in Youbei to attack." The Han people in the west, and then when the Han people in Youbei leave, they will capture Yuyang in one fell swoop! Evacuate after five days of scraping! After the Han people in the west know the situation in Youbei, they will definitely lead their troops to invade Youbei. We can just turn around, attack Jiankun and Rouran, kill those pro-Han lackeys, and then carry them with us. They went south together to ambush the Han people in the west. After defeating them, they could easily loot the entire north of the Han people! At that time, the desert will be ours, and the north of the Han people will also be ours! If we encounter white disasters or black disasters again, we don’t have to worry or be afraid! 』

　　White disaster.

 Black disaster.

 The life of desert people is so simple and unpretentious.

After Qifu Hegan told the battle plan, everyone fell silent. After a moment, Bone Spur asked: "Then who will be the first "small force" to join the Han people in Youbei to attack the Han people in the west? 』

Qifu Heqian raised his hand and pointed toward the Rilu Family.

 For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the Rilu family...

Ri Lujuan smiled dryly, his face turned blue, and he was still holding the cowhide bag of kumiss in his hand, "I...I, I, I, I am willing to obey orders..."

 …

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are factions. Where there are factions, there are disputes.

 A dormitory of four or six people will be more or less grateful to their roommates for not killing each other after graduating from college. What's more, the number of people gathered in the Central Plains of China far exceeds the size of four people.

 There is competition, but of course there is also compatibility.

Zhang He looked at Gan Feng beside him, somewhat dumbfounded, "What did I say you came with?" 』

"I can only understand what you said... I can't quite understand what they said, but it's you who said it better..." Gan Feng chuckled, pointing to the latest issue of the Jiangwutang Di newspaper in his hand, " No, the new newspaper is here...anyway, it's just idle time..."

 Zhang He wrapped himself in a cotton robe, then stretched out his hand to bake on the bonfire, "What do you see?" 』

Gan Feng was stunned, "What did you see?" 』

Zhang He smiled and did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned to look at the newspaper from the new martial arts hall sent by Gan Feng.

Gan Feng chuckled, as if he still had the same heartless look.

 Although Zhang He said he disliked Gan Feng, he was actually somewhat grateful in his heart.

 When Zhang He surrendered, he once stated that he would not attack his old employer...

 Because at that time, it was not about how much nostalgia or emotion I had for Mr. Cao, but because the emperor was in Shandong at that time. In Zhang He's mind at that time, Shandong was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and Feiqian was just Zhang He's forced choice at that time.

 What is right and what is wrong?

Just like many young people in later generations have to be educated by capitalists before they can understand the warmth of home and the greatness of their parents, how could Zhang He be able to realize in advance what Fei Qian represents before he leaves Shandong? And broader thoughts?

At that time, the reason why Zhang He said he was unwilling to fight Cao Cao was actually because of Cao Cao?

 No, it was for Zhang He himself.

People will grow. Just like when you are twenty years old, you will inevitably feel ashamed when you hear about the **** you were ten years old. But when you are forty years old and look back at your twenty years old, won't you feel shame and regret?

 Zhang He is growing now, and Gan Feng is also growing.

 Zhang He knew that Zhao Yun sent him out as a vanguard. On the surface, he was responsible for the task of luring the enemy to investigate and test. In fact, he was asking Zhang He a question, a question that Zhang He could not avoid.

If Zhang He really faced Cao's army in Youbei, would Zhang He fight or not?

 The answer given by Zhang He is, "Nothing is wrong"!

It can be said that, when actually doing it, it is inevitable that you will feel a little heartbroken. At this time, Gan Feng came, and Zhang He felt that under the rough appearance, Gan Feng actually had some sensitive thoughts...

“Hey…” Zhang He read half of the newspaper of Jiangwu Hall in his hand, and suddenly felt something. He looked through it again, “My lord’s handling of the Xiqiang matter… seems interesting…”

Gan Feng asked: "Tell me about it, tell me about it..."

It's strange to say that if Gan Feng is allowed to read the Di newspaper by himself, he doesn't know why he can't stand it. He feels that all the words in the Di newspaper are against him. He jumps up and down and sways around. After a while, he feels dizzy. But You don’t just listen to it, but you can hear it and remember it. Of course, this is also related to the way Zhang He explained it. If Zhang He hadn't narrated it in a relatively simple way, Gan Feng would probably have fallen into "what's wrong" and got confused.

"The Lord is at Yumen Pass, allowing the Qiang vassal troops originally in the Western Regions to make their own decisions. Those who are willing to go home will go home, and those who are willing to fight with the army will fight with the army..." Zhang He's hand slowly crossed over the newspaper, as if he was letting himself know His attention was not diverted, and he seemed to want to touch someone's thoughts at that time through these words, "This method is good... but only the Lord can use it..."

"Why? Gan Feng asked, "Isn't it normal for Xiqiang to divide its troops?" There are too many people, please reduce the number. I did it when I was in Xiliang..."

 Zhang He shook his head, "It's different." Were most of the people you cleared at that time the elderly, weak, sick and disabled? The Lord once again eliminated the Qiang people who were able to fight...and after the elimination was completed, he directly mixed them together...This is a good strategy to control the Hu! Think about it, among the Hu people, well, take our northern desert as an example, why are there Hu people every year, killing one group after another, leaving the Huns and coming to Xianbei, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, Now, how many people have been killed, how many were captured, and how many were recruited? It seems that all methods have been tried, but it just keeps going... What is the problem? And the Lord's actions may be the answer to this question..."

As he spoke, Zhang He suddenly froze, as if he was suddenly frozen by ice. Gan Feng was startled, "Uh, Jun Yi?" Junyi, what's wrong with you? 』

“Huh…” Zhang He exhaled a long breath, “I suddenly want to understand why, after Guangwu founded the country in Luoyang, he gradually became unable to defeat the barbarians in the north, and even the Western Qiang people…”

"oh? You say it, you say it! ” Ganfeng became interested.

"I don't know whether it's right or wrong... When Guangwu established his capital in Luoyang, he mainly relied on the land of Hebei and Yu, which is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and focused on farming..." Zhang He said slowly, "And every time the barbarians in the north plundered, they robbed What is it again? Will the barbarians take away the land of Jiyu? I mean…"

Zhang He stamped on the ground with his feet, "The barbarians will take away everything they can, but only this... they can't take it away..."

Ganfeng nodded, "That's right!" The barbarians just burned, killed and looted, but after they looted they left...so..."

“So the squires in Jizhou and Yuzhou are powerful and right, and the Hu people..." Zhang He suddenly got stuck in the middle of the sentence, and there was a whistling sound in his throat, "But they cooperate perfectly... The Hu people are robbing people, and they are robbing land..."

Gan Feng’s eyes widened, “Is this so possible? ! 』

 Zhang He was silent for a moment, "That's what I said..."

There are naturally a lot of deviations in what Zhang He thought, but from a certain perspective, this is indeed the result of the local squires and powerful people at the upper political level in the Central Plains region who have always been unwilling to risk their lives to go out and advocate Farming is all-powerful, but it cannot eliminate the threat of the barbarians, which is part of the reason for the long-term coexistence with the barbarians in the desert.

The Hu people wanted land for raising cattle and sheep, while the Han landlord class wanted land for farming. It was not until the great Chanyu of the Yuan Dynasty wanted to turn the whole world into pasture that it deeply hurt the Jiangnan landlord class. , and then an unparalleled resistance broke out...

"Forget it, let's talk about this problem later..." Zhang He waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the present first... I think we can use your lord's method to recruit a group of people from Jiankun and Rouran to go with us... It doesn't have to be many people. , but they must be mixed with the Han people, and all merits, rewards and punishments are the same..."

Gan Feng didn't fully understand it yet, so he was a little confused, "But we don't have much money, and are the people we recruited willing to listen to us?" They also have leaders..."

Zhang He laughed and said, "That's why I say that my lord's method is wonderful!" In the past, when we recruited the barbarians to fight, we found the barbarian leaders, and then took away as many people as we wanted... Now we can go directly to those barbarians without spending a penny... Well, it doesn't mean that we don't spend money. We still have to spend money on equipment. It's money, but at least it's less than before... and more importantly... the benefits of doing this are yet to come! ha! At dawn tomorrow, we will go find the Jiankun people! When the time comes, I will give you half of the extra Hu soldiers, and you can earn some merit with them, so that your journey will not be in vain! 』
