The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 255 All Things Are Forewarned ([-])
In the past month, although the Guanyi Army and the Simawang Army have generally been in a state of sit-down war.However, there have been many small-scale contacts and battles between the two sides.

These battles basically revolved around the food transportation lines of the Shu Han army.Therefore, the two sides participating in the war mainly have cavalry troops.

In these battles, according to the reports of Qian Hong and Zhao Yi, the commanders of the Shu Han cavalry troops, more and more cavalry of the Jin army were equipped with stirrups, and more and more cavalry were full-time saber cavalry instead of lancers.Of course, this combat power is also slowly rising.Guan Yi also felt very helpless about this: before the Shu Han, there were only 5000 cavalry in the whole country, but this time he expanded the army to 3 cavalry, of which [-] participated in the Northern Expedition.How could he increase the size of his cavalry so much without stirrups?
But stirrups are too easy to imitate after all.With the powerful state of Jin, even if the Luoyang court was slow to respond, Sima Wang's craftsmen in Chang'an were working hard to make stirrups.

Sima Wang's calculation is very clear: on the premise that our side does not receive large-scale reinforcements from the imperial court, I have nothing to do with your Guan Yi's castles on both sides of the Weihe River.But although your food road is not long, after all, part of it is exposed on the Guanzhong Plain.I just want to make a fuss about this.

Therefore, in the past month, battles of hundreds and thousands of cavalry between Shu Han and Jin cavalry have been very frequent.The strength of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, which has been learning and adapting continuously in the war, is getting stronger and stronger. The battle loss ratio of the Shu Han has dropped from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]... The grain road maintenance in the south of Anguo City has become more and more serious. more difficult.If things go on like this, Guan Yi knows very well that within a month, his food supply will be cut off.

Therefore, he had to succumb to the various alien races with a large number of cavalry.

Even so, as a time traveler, Guan Yi is very clear about what happened on the historical plane.Therefore, although it seems that his strategic situation in Yongzhou has gradually fallen into a passive position, he is getting farther and farther away from his goal of winning Yongzhou.But there are still some things that need to be prepared in advance - how to deal with the ethnic relations here after taking Yongzhou.

"Everyone, with the recent generals taking Longxi completely, many aristocratic families and foreign races in Yongzhou can't sit still. Just now, I have received many leaders of foreign races one after another, and their appeals are roughly like this..."

In the meeting hall of Mei County, Zhang Zun, Gou Ning, Huo Zai, Jiang Bin, Tian Xu, Huangfu Kai, Wang Mai, Luo Xi, Jiang Su and others gathered around, quietly listening to Guan Yi's talk about the demands and demands of the leaders of various families. condition.

After listening to the demands of the bald Xianbei, the Di people of the Li family, and the right part of the Xiongnu, Huangfu Kai, who was most familiar with the actual situation in Guanzhong, spoke first: "Da Sima, the right part of the Huns will not talk about him first. The last general will talk about it first." This bald-haired tribe. This branch of Xianbei people is very difficult to deal with, because their leader is a hero who does things fairly and has high prestige in the tribe. So this branch, in addition to encouraging them as Da Sima said Going beyond the Hetao, we still need to divide and disintegrate it. Well, that is omnipotent, after all, they are Qiang people, so they should be able to do something."

This speech is very general.But what Guan Yi didn't expect was that this was already the most substantive speech of the group of subordinates around him.

For example, when discussing the resettlement of Li's Di people, everyone happily said that this has added 10 people to the country.Calculated in this way, even if the Northern Expedition failed to win Yongzhou, it would still be a huge profit.

Guan Yi was a little bit taken aback by this, but soon he was relieved: people in this era are extremely confident towards other races, and have a sense of superiority from the bottom of their hearts.They didn't take aliens seriously at all!At this time, if Guan Yi told the story of the five Hus entering the Central Plains in later generations, everyone would regard his words as the standard, but they would never believe that there will be no Han people in the north in the future.

Do I count as asking Yu Blind?Forget it, don't blame them, after all, they are not time travelers.

The following meeting naturally became Guan Yi's one-man show.

"Everyone, now the general has captured the four counties of Longxi. Although the main force has not been able to enter Qinchuan smoothly, even if they go south and take a detour to Wudu, they will be able to arrive within this year. At that time, there will be 3 to [-] main forces of my big man. A decisive battle with the Jin State's main force of about [-]. What I mean by this general is that the main force of the general will stay in Longxi for a while, and don't rush into Guanzhong by detouring Wudu. I plan to use these [-] troops and these Zuojian City and Sima Wang and others will spend a while longer. In this way, although we will be trapped in the two isolated cities in the next time, we can further consume Jin's resources while we have completely arrived in Longxi. The strength and morale of the army will lay the foundation for the decisive battle in the future!"

"Brother's words are very kind, so we have more time to digest Longxi."

"Exactly. As for being trapped in an isolated city, hehehe, our garrison supplies this time are much more abundant than those at Yang'an Pass back then. It's fine if Mr. Sima Wang doesn't come. If he comes, he'll be bloodied." !"

"Da Sima's strategy is good. If we stay here for about half a year, the Guanzhong Corps of the Jin State must be exhausted. And at that time, Soochow will definitely send troops. At that time, I will see which guy Sima Yan will save. !"

……

"Well, so our army's next strategy has been decided, which is to stick to this place and consume the enemy's vital strength. This officer has full confidence in finally winning Yongzhou."

"We also have deep confidence in this, and we will resolutely implement Da Sima's strategy."

"Good, everyone. If we can successfully win Yongzhou, we will face many new problems while completely solving the survival crisis of our big man. One of the most important tasks is how to get in touch with the many alien races here."

"Everyone, there are quite a few alien races in my great Han. For example, in Fuling County where I started as an official, the number of Wuxi barbarians in Wuling Mountain is more than the local Han people. As for the current Nanzhong Seven Counties, there are also more foreign races than Han people, but Generally speaking, I, a big man, get along well with them, don’t I? But I want to remind you that the alien races in Yongliang are different from those in Yizhou. Although the alien races in Yizhou often have various rebellions, the overall In fact, they have all achieved farming and settlement. Once they launch a rebellion, they often cannot run away. Therefore, unless my big man collects taxes and enforces military service, the foreigners in Yizhou will generally not rebel. But here However, the foreign races in Yongzhou are different. Most of them are nomadic and live in no fixed place. If they rebel, it is no problem to defeat them, but it is a big problem to wipe them out and put down the rebellion completely! Therefore, if we continue to deal with the foreign races here in the same way we used to deal with them in Yizhou after we take down Yongzhou, sooner or later there will be big troubles. I hope you can keep this in mind.”

As the saying goes, those who have a permanent property have perseverance, and there is an old saying that a monk can't run away from the temple if he can run away.In China's thousands of years of history, the ethnic minorities in the south are much less aggressive.There has never been a dynasty in the Central Plains that died of ethnic minorities in the south.The most fundamental point of this is the difference in production and lifestyle.

"How to deal with the aliens here is a problem that we must face after we win Yongzhou. In the next few days, as our army's situation gradually opens and Soochow enters the game, I believe that the aliens here will go to Mei County. It is getting more and more frequent. There are more and more problems you have to face, I will set up three strategies here first, and everyone must strictly follow these three strategies."

"Great Sima, please show me."

"Well, the first one is differentiation. Ladies and gentlemen, there are two types of differentiation. One is not to treat the foreign races as a whole. Among them are the Qiang, Di, Huns, and Xianbei. We need to use various The method is to guide these alien races to hate each other, and they cannot be united. The second method is to target each tribe, and try to find and connect the careerists in each tribe in the subsequent contacts as much as possible, and encourage them to become independent from the tribe. Come out and work alone. As long as the current large tribes are divided into small tribes with less than 1 people, we can register them as households and incorporate them into the traditional Han people’s management system.”

"The second is corrosion. Ladies and gentlemen, the alien races in the north are mainly nomadic. Such a production method determines that their strength largely depends on the wiseness of their leaders. In the early years, Mao Dun Shanyu was as strong as Gaozu when he was alive. , Empress Lu could only swallow her anger. But after Maodun, the Huns were not as good as one generation after another. When Emperor Wu rose up, the Huns had only a series of consecutive defeats. At the time of Huanling, Xianbei produced a great hero Tan Shihuai, who unified Xianbei The various ministries pose a great threat to the north of my great Han. But when this person dies, Xianbei will immediately split. Therefore, in future contacts, everyone should put down your posture and use gentle language, all kinds of gold, silver and jade, and all kinds of fine wine. Corrupting the leaders of these tribes. We must try our best to support those alien leaders who are keen on food and clothing. For those alien leaders who live a simple life and deal with justice, if conditions permit, we must use various means to eliminate them as soon as possible: for example, In the past, Ke Bineng was a generation of grassland heroes. After Tan Shihuai, he unified the central and western Xianbei. It brought a great threat to Youzhou and Bingzhou of Cao Wei. But after Wang Xiong sent assassins to assassinate him, the northern The Xianbei has now split into dozens of tribes. We can learn this way when necessary!"

"Article [-], Enlightenment. I'm going to write an essay for Xingzong, and ask him to prepare relevant teachers and teaching materials in Yizhou. After we take Yongzhou, we will start elementary schools among foreign races in various places. After that, we will select talents from these foreign elementary schools to go to Han Dynasty. In this way, those aspiring people in the foreign race will have one more choice. Instead of thinking about how to lead the people to rob our big man all day long..."
