I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 508 In this era, there is Liu Jian, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao!

For Cao Cao, his views on Liu Jian have always been changing.

Back then in Luoyang, Cao Cao felt that Liu Jian was the "hero" among heroes, and in front of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, he put himself and Liu Jian side by side.

But as time went by, Cao Cao discovered that he was wrong.

The Liu Jian who was in Luoyang back then was actually dormant.

After he went down to the place, what Liu Jian showed was far beyond Cao Cao's imagination.

In fact, Cao Cao himself was somewhat pretending in Luoyang back then, but compared with what Liu Jian hid, there was a huge difference between what he was hiding and what Liu Jian was hiding.

Over the years, Cao Cao has been observing Liu Jian's actions all the time, and he has gradually discovered that Liu Jian is different from other people who serve as shepherds in this world.

It's not far away, it's better than Cao Cao.

At this stage, what Cao Cao has in mind...power, soldiers, family, resources...etc.

What Cao Cao was planning, Liu Jian was also planning... But Cao Cao found that there was one thing in Liu Jian's heart that Cao Cao didn't have.

Another thing Liu Jian has been planning is to be a strong man.

This "Han" is not the imperial court of the Han Dynasty, but the country composed of people from the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty!
This country's surname is Liu today, and it may be another name tomorrow, but the race of people living in this country will not change.

And Liu Jian gave Cao Cao the feeling that what he wanted to revitalize was not the Han Dynasty, but the group of people living in the Thirteen States, including him Cao Cao!

And as time went on, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Not everyone will observe Liu Jian's ideals through his behavior.

Like the emperor Liu Bian, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others could not read Liu Jian's real intention.

They will only use their dirty minds to study Liu Jian and ponder Liu Jian, and pull Liu Jian to the same level as them to think about Liu Jian.

They have never really tasted Liu Jian, or experienced Liu Jian's height.

But Cao Cao can empathize more or less.

Of course, he can't understand it as deeply as Liu Jian, but he can understand it somewhat.

The reason for this is that Cao Cao's mind and character are far superior to ordinary people.

He was originally one of the most outstanding figures of this era.

In fact, Yuan Shao is also the most outstanding person in this era.

However, Yuan Shao grew up in an environment that limited his eyes to the glory of his Yuan family.

Cao Cao also grew up in a very powerful family, but this family did not bring him fame and glory. It can even be said that at certain times, this family made Cao Cao ridiculed in the most elite circles of the big man .

Therefore, Cao Cao's vision and mind will not be shackled by the family.

Once there is an opportunity, his level can go up one step.

At this point, Cao Cao's environment is superior to that of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu brothers.

Only the combination of these various internal and external factors can enable the current Cao Cao to understand Liu Jian's deeds.

Therefore, Cao Cao also decided to imitate Liu Jian in Jiangdong and do what he should do.

Sitting on one side and establishing your own power, this is the first goal,

On the basis of this goal, like Liu Jian, do some things that are enough to be famous in history, let future generations praise them, and benefit the "Han". Soil... For Cao Cao, this may also be a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

People, there must be some spiritual sustenance!
But to do this, we must first achieve internal stability.

Compared with Zhongyuan, this place in Jiangdong may also have more headaches.

The first difficulty is Yamakoshi.

Shanyue is the collective name for the "mountain bandits" widely distributed in the Jiangdong area from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period.

The problem of Shanyue has existed since ancient times, not just in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

The composition of the Shanyue group is quite complicated. There are Han people, Baiyi barbarian tribes, and bandits... All in all, the main reason why Shanyue was so strong at the end of the Han Dynasty was because of social unrest, the displacement of the people, and the annexation of noble families. The land can't bear the heavy tax from the government, and there is no way to survive, so the mountains continue to grow.

There is no doubt that the population of Shanyue is a hidden population, which is not on the existing household registration book of the Han Dynasty.

The world is in chaos, with Pan Lin, Peng Qi, You Tu, Fei Zhan, Zu Lang, Yan Bai Hu, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Huang Luan and many other local separatists. The mode of production is mainly based on agriculture, planting grains, and because "copper and iron come out of the mountains", they often "build their own soldiers".

They scattered in large numbers, lived in small groups, practiced martial arts well, and formed an armed group relying on the dangers of the mountains, posing a serious threat to the Jiangdong area.

Cao Cao understood that if he wanted to do great things, he had to deal with the civil strife in Shanyue first.

In the first 30 years when Sun Quan ruled Soochow in history, the battle with Shanyue was almost uninterrupted. Now Shanyue's opponent is no longer the Sun brothers, but Cao Cao!

Compared with Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, Cao Cao's method of dealing with Shanyue is much more powerful.

After all, compared to Cao Cao's comprehensive ability, the Sun brothers are still a bit behind.

Especially now, Cao Cao already has a reference for dealing with Shanyue.

That is Liu Jian!
How Liu Jian flattened the Taihang Mountains and the alien races in the North, then Cao Cao imitated how Liu Jian smoothed the mountains.

Centralize power, garrison land, save land, establish business associations, support forces from other states, and obey the new policies of the imperial court...

Cao Cao has been studying silently all these years.

He learned a lot from Liu Jian.

Liu Bian is also learning from Liu Jian, but at most he can learn a little superficially.

Cao Cao was really able to learn some of the essence.

Although Cao Cao did fight Liu Jian for Yuan Shao, in his heart, Liu Jian is actually a great teacher.

Maybe Liu Jian didn't even think that in Dahan, the best apprentice he brought out was not actually by his side.

……

……

The main force of the Southern Huns was wiped out by Liu Jian. Liu Jian confiscated many Huns, horses, cattle, sheep and people, which can be regarded as a complete victory.

If it were someone else, maybe they would feel that meritorious service is enough, and there is no need to continue killing the Huns at all, as the saying goes, let others be forgiven and forgive others.

But that was someone else's idea after all, not Liu Jian's.

Now that he has acquired Bingzhou, he must completely solve the future troubles!
However, Liu Jian's thoughts are only known to him, but not to others, such as Youxian King Huyan Tuli.

Before annihilating the main force of the Huns, Liu Jian once promised Huyan Tuli that he would be the great Chanyu of the Southern Huns.

At first, Huyan Tuli didn't quite believe Liu Jian's promise, but later, Liu Jian used his sincerity to make Huyan Tuli feel that Liu Jian sincerely wanted to support him to the top.

So Huyan Tuli was full of joy and tried his best to help Liu Jian defeat the main force headed by Xubu Guduhou.

Now, the army of Xubu Guduhou was wiped out, and the Southern Xiongnu royal family was seriously injured. They had no strength to contend with the Han army, but at this time, Huyan Tuli, who was the right virtuous king, stood up and offered to give the remaining Southern Huns The Chanyus of the Xiongnu Royal Court wrote to ask them to come collectively to Tabutuoluohai Military City where Liu Jian was located.

The so-called military market is a market used for trading next to the ancient army. It first appeared in the Warring States period. Merger wars between the separatist forces of the princes occurred frequently, and there were not enough soldiers to purchase what each soldier needed.

People with business minds at that time saw this situation as a business opportunity. At first, it was only a private transaction by a few people, until later this transaction was known to more soldiers and businessmen.

The government set up an area next to the army for soldiers to buy daily necessities. This area is also a type of market and is known as the "military market".

And Tabu Tuolahai, where Liu Jian is now, was one of the first batch of military cities established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Hetao area many years ago.

After Liu Jian defeated the army of the Southern Huns, he stationed his soldiers and horses here, and he also wanted to inspect the terrain here...

"Everyone, you can see that the military city here is adjacent to two rivers, and there are mountains in the north and south. I can't be sure, but it seems that there are also minerals such as graphite and marble in this place..."

Speaking of this, Liu Jian couldn't help looking at the green grassland in the distance, and said with emotion: "The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields, the sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep!"

"Here, it can be used as a strategic location for our Han army and civilians to station in Hetao. It is not used as a military city, but as a fortress, a fortress! Or it can be said that it is an important place for the Han Dynasty to continue to the north. Transit place!"

When Liu Jian said that it was an important transit point for going north, the spirits of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were shocked.

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and sighed: "The general has great ambitions, and I really admire them, but if he wants to continue to expand northward in the land of Hetao, it seems to be a bit difficult given the current national strength of the Han Dynasty. ..."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Han Sheng is right. With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it is indeed unrealistic. According to my current opinion, the Han Dynasty can hold the Hetao in the north, control the countries of the Western Regions in the west, and annex Fuyu in the northeast. , maybe it's the limit..."

Zhang Fei was surprised when he heard the words: "Then brother, why do you still want to...?"

Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly coughed heavily, and said: "You guys... well, what can't be done with the current national strength of the big man, can't it be done decades later, when the national power of the big man is prosperous? Done?"

When everyone heard the words, it suddenly dawned on them.

Liu Jian looked at Liu Bei with satisfaction, but Liu Bei blinked at him.

The current Liu Xuande is completely different from the history.

Under the influence of Liu Jian, his vision became more and more far-sighted, and his ambition became more ambitious. It can be said that among all his subordinates, except for Xun Yu, Liu Bei is the one who can best understand Liu Jian's ambition.

"What my brother said is true."

Liu Jian squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"In my opinion, this place can be used as a barrier for our farming people in the Central Plains to resist the major nomadic peoples in the north. If the nomadic peoples occupy this place, they can graze horses in the Central Plains at any time. Chasing death and chasing north in the desert!"

"From here to Wuyuan County, I want to set up an important military town under the direct jurisdiction of our Han people, and at the same time set up the world's largest pasture in this area to provide our Han people with cattle, sheep and horses, and use this as a base to continue promoting our country to the north. The culture of the great Han has allowed the barbarians in the north to be educated by me and belong to my Han system!"

Zhang Fei said: "Since brother likes this place so much, why don't you name it again?"

Liu Jian stood up and said slowly: "From now on, this is the number one town for my big man in Hetao, and this place is called... Naturalization!"
