Han Dao world

Chapter 159

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu puzzled.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say." Jia Xu bowed and said earnestly.

Liu Xie calmed down and signaled Jia Xu to continue.

"The people of Xiliang are vulgar and seldom literate. Courage comes first when they are strong. Even if there is no malice in their hearts, their words are vulgar and their behavior is unavoidable. It is not because they are inherently evil, but because they are not educated enough. Your Majesty uses strength to persuade, followed by virtue, Only then can the generals know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and the soldiers of tigers and wolves can be transformed into teachers of kings."

Liu Xie reacted a little bit.

The hero sees the same thing, so Jia Xu thinks of going with him.

In fact, there was a theory of moral education in the army of the Han Dynasty. The soldiers in the army needed to read introductory Confucian books such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Classic of Filial Piety".

Liangzhou can't even find a few scholars, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, Xiliang soldiers are very powerful in combat, and their military discipline is also in a mess. They are better at harming the people than killing the enemy.

It's not that Xiliang people are born beasts, but that they lack education.

Liu Xie took this as a test for Sun Rui and others, just like he asked Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi to discipline Li Shi.Jia Xu also saw this, but he lost a little bit of personal spirit, and hoped that the court would establish a system and solve the problem systematically.

Of course, this is for Xiliang people, but not for a certain Xiliang person.

"Who do you think is suitable, sir?"

"Ding Chong." Jia Xu said, "Ding Chong is familiar with Confucianism and military affairs. He can carry a sword to fight the enemy, which is not comparable to ordinary Confucian scholars. When he goes to Zhang Ji's camp, he will be able to get along with the soldiers, and he will be happy."

Liu Xie agreed with Jia Xu's point of view.

As far as the few scholars around him are concerned, Ding Chong is indeed the one who can let go of his status the most, and is better at getting along with ordinary soldiers than Yang Xiu.When Dong Cheng and Yang Feng were in the camp, he was able to mingle with ordinary soldiers, and finally went into battle with him to kill the enemy.

If such people go to Zhangji Camp, their work will go smoothly.

"As Mr. said, Ding Chong is a good candidate." Liu Xie accepted Jia Xu's suggestion. "I hope Zhang Ji can understand my painstaking efforts, and don't let down what Mr. said today."

Jia Xu said seriously, "Zhang Ji may fail His Majesty, but the people of Liangzhou will not."

"I hope so. What do you think is the best place to put Zhang Ji?"

"Nanyang."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat. "Nanyang?"

"Your Majesty wants to pacify the world. First, you need soldiers, and second, you need food. Nanyang is known as a granary. If you can occupy it, your Majesty will have a foothold. Moreover, Nanyang can cover both Guanzhong and Luoyang, so soldiers must fight for it." It must not fall into the hands of others."

Liu Xie thinks so.

Jia Xu is Jia Xu, with vicious eyes.

In history, Zhang Ji went to Nanyang, perhaps because he listened to his opinion.It's a pity that Zhang Ji's life was not strong enough, and he died as soon as he arrived in Nanyang.

Now that the situation has changed, Zhang Ji's trip to Nanyang in the name of the imperial court should be smoother, and maybe he can live longer.

For him, it would be of great benefit if he could control Nanyang in his hands.

Although Liu Biao was different from other separatist parties and princes, he always remained respectful to the imperial court and made contributions from time to time. After all, it was not as safe as the imperial court directly controlling Nanyang.

Occupying Nanyang, Guanzhong and Luoyang are much safer, and it will be convenient to develop in the future.

Liu Xie even wanted to ask Jia Xu if he wanted to go to Nanyang, but he swallowed the words.

It is safest for Jia Xu to stay with her.

-

For several days, Shi Sun Rui, Wei Jie and others were busy mobilizing elites from various battalions to rebuild the North and South Army.

With fresh blood, not only the Weiwei Battalion and the Infantry Battalion were full, but even the three cavalry battalions were restored and revived with full blood.

Hussar General Zhang Ji accepted the arrangement and led his troops to Nanyang with Ding Chong as his military adviser.

Liu Xie immediately arranged for the left general Yang Feng to lead his troops to Hongnong, and sent people to cross the river to contact Taiwei Yang Biao and Baibo Army to prepare for crossing the river.

Regarding whether the imperial court should go to Hedong, return to Chang'an, or continue to Luoyang, the ministers and ministers had disagreements, and the debate was very fierce.When talking excitedly, the two sides even rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.

As emperor, Liu Xie did not directly participate in the discussion.

With the emperor present, the ministers inevitably had to restrain themselves, and the communication was not frank and in-depth enough.

-

Shangdang, Xuanshi, Changping Pavilion.

Zhong Yao leaned on the horse's back, whipped the horse, and moved forward rapidly.

Several attendants followed closely behind, looking back from time to time.

Two knights were chasing, shouting loudly while chasing.

"Mr. Zhong stays behind, Mr. Zhong stays behind."

Zhong Yao sighed, reined in his mount, and calmly signaled his attendants to be vigilant and ready for a fight.

He was ordered to go to the Shangdang to take office, passing through Hanoi, and wasted some time in persuading Zhang Yang.Not long after he entered the Shangdang, he hurried all the way, passing an unknown number of people, but the two riders got closer and closer, and now they greeted each other again, obviously it was not as simple as going the same way.

While speaking, two knights chased after him.One rode his horse and rushed in front of Zhong Yao, blocking the way, and the other got off his horse and rushed to Zhong Yao's horse.

"Mr. Zhong, here comes Guo Qi, a disciple of the Guo family in Yangdi, under the orders of Mr. Guo Junze, to invite Mr. Zhong to stay."

Zhong Yao was taken aback.He thought it was robbery, but he didn't expect it was sent by Guo Tu.

Why did Guo Tu appear here?

"Guo Gongze? Where is he?"

"Based on mileage, it should be in Gaodu now." Guo Qi smiled wryly. "Mr. Zhong left in such a hurry. Did he have something important to do? Mr. Guo was passing through Hanoi, and he heard that Mr. Zhong was passing by. He wanted to meet Mr. Zhong, so he ordered me to chase him. After three days of chasing, I finally caught up with Mr. Zhong. "

Zhong Yao felt even more uneasy, but there was no abnormality on his face, he said with a smile, "Mr. Guo is passing through Hanoi, where is he going?"

"Go to Hongnong and meet the emperor."

As Guo Qi said, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhong Yao's rein.Zhong Yao's attendant had a slightly stern look on his face, and was about to scold him, but Zhong Yao calmly shook his head to stop him.He took advantage of the situation and got off his horse, sat down on the boulder by the roadside, and brushed the hem of his clothes leisurely.

He knew Guo Qi, and he had seen the knight accompanying Guo Qi, he was a famous ranger with excellent swordsmanship.

Guo Tu sent these two people to chase here all the way, obviously with orders first, and he should not be easily evaded.

Zhang Yang was originally hesitating and hesitant, but now that Guo Tu is in Hanoi again, the possibility of King Zhang Yangqin has dropped a bit.

The hope of the emperor is a little less.

"Guo Jun wants to see me, can't it be to reminisce about the past?" Zhong Yao said with a smile: "I have something urgent to do. If Guo Jun is not urgent, I can write a book, please bring it to Guo Jun."

"Whether Mr. Guo is reminiscing about the old days, I don't know." Guo Qi smiled gently, but he didn't relax his hand holding the rein. "I am following orders, please stay for a few days, Mr. Zhong, and wait for Mr. Guo. I hope Mr. Zhong will be considerate."

Zhong Yao nodded. "Then I'll edit a letter and send it to Shangdang, lest my friends wait impatiently and think they've been robbed."
