I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 361
Liu Jian said that Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan were allowed to stay in Youzhou, which somewhat exceeded their expectations.

In Guan Yu's view, the Central Plains and the imperial court seem to need them more.

Liu Jian is Guan Yu's elder brother. Liu Jian knows very well what this brother is thinking.

He patiently explained to Guan Yu: "In Youzhou, governance depends on Xun Wenruo, Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Xianhe and others, but in terms of conquest and land expansion, I need you, Bogui, Yide, Hansheng... ... and Koji are left behind!"

Guan Yu didn't expect that Liu Jian wanted to keep all these fierce generals in Youzhou, and he was very puzzled.

"Brother, my big man has been in civil turmoil these years, and insects have been born. At this time, my brothers and I don't return to the Central Plains to serve the country, but hide in this border area. Why?"

Liu Jian said: "In the current situation in the south, there are me, Xuande, Zhao Zilong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others. That's enough!"

"As I said just now, your task is more difficult than quelling the civil strife of the big man."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian led the two of them to the map in the hall.

"Now, under the plan of Xun Yu, the three kings of Wuhuan have already had serious internal conflicts. Within two years, my big man will completely subdue Wuhuan and merge all their people into the Han people. In terms of governance, Xun Yu and others will take care of it for me, so I can rest assured."

"But militarily, I must keep you all behind,"

"If nothing else, in the early stages of integrating the Wuhuan tribe, rebellions will continue to occur, which is absolutely unavoidable, so we must make a good foundation from the beginning, merge Wuhuan into my early Han Dynasty, and make all The rebellion was suppressed to a minimum."

"I don't want to turn Youzhou into a second Liangzhou."

Liu Jian’s words refer to the Han Dynasty’s attitude towards the Qiang people in Liangzhou. The Qiang people have rebelled all the year round and have never been able to fully integrate with the Han people. This includes many factors.

The local government regards the Qiang people as second-class citizens, and the contradictions between them are too deep, which must be the reason for ranking first.

At the same time, there will be various problems such as economy, productivity, people's livelihood, and military strategic errors.

Liu Jian will learn from these problems and try his best to avoid them.

But it is undeniable that although he has a good strategy, he must also have someone who can thoroughly carry out his orders.

Except for Xun Yu, his brothers and direct descendants are the best candidates for him.

Guan Yu nodded when he heard the words, as if he understood a little bit.

Liu Jian said again: "Besides Wuhuan, is there no enemy we need to deal with in the northern border of Youzhou?"

Liu Jian's words awakened the dreamer.

Gongsun Zan was the first to react.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his joints made a "crack, bang, bang, bang" sound.

"Xianbei!" Gongsun Zan said through gritted teeth.

Liu Jian nodded: "Yes, Tanshihuai is dead, and Helian is also dead. Xianbei is divided into various small tribes, torn apart, and fighting each other, but this does not mean that they will not be united again."

"My scouts have always attached great importance to Xianbei. Although Xianbei is still in a state of division, it has gradually merged into several major forces."

"Once they reunify, they will definitely pose an unprecedented threat to my big man."

"This is not alarmist talk, especially since our Han Dynasty is currently in a civil war. Once the power of the foreign tribes is not well controlled, it may not be the internal thieves who destroy the Han Dynasty, but these tribes outside the Great Wall who took advantage of the situation!"

"I thought about it, just in case, instead of waiting for the Xianbei clans to gradually merge and slowly turn their attention to my Han Dynasty, it is better for us to plan first and take advantage of the death of the sandalwood locust tree, Split the grassland tribes into pieces, so that they can never stand up..."

When talking about this, Liu Jian looked at Guan Yu.

"It's just that there are too many things in the Central Plains and the imperial court. I can't stay here to deal with these things... I can only keep you here and rely on Xun Yu, Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others. It's up to you!"

"You two, back then you were the ones who accompanied me to the north to go out of the fortress, beheaded Helian, and torn Xianbei apart. Today, I hand over this great task to you again. It is still the same sentence, let the big man be strong and stand on the top of the world. Dian, I can’t do it alone.”

When they heard this, Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan all changed their faces.

Their expressions became very solemn.

When they were young, I saw the two of them bowing their hands to Liu Jian together.

Gongsun Zan said: "Deran, for the sake of this country, you have thought so far. As your senior brother, if I can't share your worries, it will really be a waste of friendship. Don't worry, I will remember everything you said. Well, in this life, if I can't wipe out the alien races in northern Xinjiang, I, Gongsun Zan, won't take another step into the Central Plains in this life."

Gongsun Zan's voice was already loud, and his speech was very imposing and contagious.

After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Liu Jian's heart was also surging, and he was deeply infected by his attitude.

Liu Jian reached out and patted Gongsun Zan on the shoulder.

"Brother Bogui, with your momentum, I feel relieved."

"However, you said just now that you want to wipe out Xianbei. This statement is really inappropriate. No, I don't agree with this strategy, but if you want to wipe out an entire nation, it is almost impossible."

"Just imagine, the various ethnic groups of the Xianbei are attached to the grasslands outside the counties of Youzhou. The territory they can retreat to the north is almost as large as the territory of my Han Dynasty. With such a large depth, how can we wipe out their entire clan? ? We also don’t have enough food and military pay to support us in this kind of warfare.”

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly: "I'm just making an analogy, but what to do actually depends on Deran and you planning everything."

Guan Yu said, "Brother, please advise."

Liu Jian said: "The tactics against Xianbei are actually nothing more than imitating Wuhuan's tactics."

"The first point is to divide their internal friction and eliminate their vitality to the greatest extent."

"Now this time period is very good. Tan Shihuai is dead, and Helian is dead. Helian's son, Qianman, is young, and his elder brother is the leader, but all the ministries are not convinced, so looking back, it is impossible to unify Xianbei. Now As Qian Man grows up, I predict that he will compete with the leader for the position of leader."

"Our Great Han Dynasty has never participated in this kind of thing. This attitude is wrong. I have already greeted Wen Ruo, Xianhe... and Tian Chou, Tian Yu and others. From today onwards, this Not only do we have to participate in this kind of thing, but we also have to treat it as our own business.”

"The dispute between the leader and Qianman must not be stopped easily. We must do everything possible to secretly support the weaker side. We must not easily let one side destroy the other side. We must delay the fight and give them enough money. Guarantee, let them fight to death without any worries, the more men they kill, the safer the big man will be."

"Of course, at certain critical moments, you good generals stationed in Youzhou will also send troops to travel thousands of miles to uphold the justice of the grassland, and to show off for my big man."

"Justice?" Gongsun Zan didn't hear the word, but he could still taste the meaning of the word.

"The alien races on this grassland are all barbarians. Do they know what justice is?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "They don't understand, but you have to teach them that justice on the grassland is actually very simple."

"Just keep it as it is. No one can kill anyone. All forces must exist. If one party insists on destroying the other, then he is unjust and needs to be suppressed."

Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan are such intelligent people. Those who can become the commanders of one side will naturally not be mediocre in thinking.

They already understood the three flavors in Liu Jian's words.

Just as the two of them bowed their heads in thought, Liu Jian spoke again.

"In addition to Wuhuan and Xianbei, you also need to develop Liaodong together with Wen Ruo."

"Liaodong?"

Liu Jian nodded and said: "Yes, Liaodong is located in the frontier, and the development is relatively shallow. Xu Rong's fellow villager Gongsundu now lives in Liaodong. This person used to be a small official in Xuantu in the past. Dismissed from office... Now living in Liaodong, he has quite a reputation in the local area."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian looked at Gongsun Zan: "I don't know if this person has anything to do with your Gongsun family in western Liaoning?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head: "No... Xuantu's Gongsun family has nothing to do with our Liaoxi family at least in recent generations, but if we push it further, we don't know."

Liu Jian said: "Liaodong is located on the border, and the imperial government's decrees are hard to come by. Therefore, these years, the local power has become stronger and stronger, and the government's decrees have not been implemented. I will use Gongsun Du, but I can't be the leader of Liaodong. Just ask him to give Wen Ruo a call." Let's do it."

Guan Yu said: "The Gongsun family is also quite prestigious in Liaodong. If the official position is lowered, I'm afraid..."

"I can't help him, I want to use him. If he dares to retire, you two will give him something hard. Let him know. Powerful. Remember, from now on, in the border area of ​​Youzhou. Be sure not to be weak, Keep everything tough."

Guan Yu asked again: "Why does my brother insist on developing Liaodong?"

"Using Liaodong as the foothold, colonize Samhan."
