Chapter 220 Yuan Shao, The End of the Road (5K)

Just as Liu Bei led his army to quell the Wuhuan Rebellion and rode alone to pacify Youzhou. Wei Yan killed Fu Luohan, news came from Yecheng that Yuan Shang became independent under the support of Shen Pei.

Yuan Shang issued a manifesto to various parts of Jizhou, saying that Yuan Shao was selfish and asked Hu to go south, and he was no longer worthy of being the master of the people. From now on, he would be the new King of Zhao.

Liu Xie was shocked when he received the news. Is he so filial?

However, he had no more food and grass now, and he really had no intention of paying attention to this strange father and son. After thinking about it, Liu Xie simply followed Sima Yi's advice and made contributions to killing Fu Luohan. He ordered him to be the Prime Minister of the Bohai Kingdom, led his troops to guard Nanpi, and left him with most of the food and grass supplies.

He only led the remaining troops across the Hutuo River and walked all the way to Zhuo County to meet Liu Bei, or to meet the Hu leaders such as Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, and issued an edict to Jia Xu, ordering him to ask the leaders of the Xiongnu Zhongxu Tu tribe, Huyan tribe, Lan tribe and other tribes to come to Zhuo County to meet him.

After all, everyone has gone to Nanpi, and there is no food or grass to fight Yecheng again. It is better to solve the border problem simply.

In his opinion, the problem of Youzhou is to put it bluntly, which is the issue of ethnic minorities under the rule. Although he didn't understand it very well, as a modern person, Liu Xie still believed that the Eastern Han Dynasty's policies to treat ethnic minorities were very problematic. The Huns had been attached to each other for two or three hundred years, and the rest of the Qiang, Di and other young people were basically the same or even longer. They had not raised them for two or three hundred years, and they could even make the Five Barbarians mess up the Huaxia.

This is really the Han Dynasty. It is not a million troops that cannot defeat the Song Dynasty, which has just been enlightened, and it is not a Ming Dynasty that needs the emperor to personally guard the country's borders. The saying that Han is the Five Barbarians is really not a casual boast. The so-called border troubles are actually all internal conflicts.

During the Han Dynasty, there were always only two dominant ideas for ethnic minorities, especially those that had already surrendered to the inside. One was "the king had no outside", the other was "the defense of the barbarians and the Xia", or to be straightforward. If it was successful, the king had no outside", and if it was poor, the "defense of the barbarians and Xia". Only when the specific policies formulated under such mainstream ideas would be damned if there was no problem.

Although Liu Xie himself, as a non-historical enthusiast, does not know how the internal minority issues have been handled in all dynasties, as a modern person with a fifty-six ethnic groups, he can have more or less some experience.

For example... Is this political consultation conference, which is jointly responsible for by multiple ethnic groups, very provocative? Is this policy much stronger than the so-called "the king has no outside" and "the defense of the barbarians and the summer".

At present, it seems that it is actually difficult for him to abdicate directly. Constitutional monarchy is the hope. Tax cabinet is just his first step. He has many and many other things to open next.

Isn’t this kind of multi-ethnic political consultation meeting a great way to decentralize power? The textbooks of junior high schools in later generations clearly stated that this is a specific manifestation of the ruling. If all the good guys are cooked, isn’t the constitutional monarchy not far away?

After all, the reason why Liu Xie was rarely serious was because Yuan Shao was too unkind. As Yuan Shao reached the end, he could basically be determined to be the second dead bone in the tomb. This little thought of constitutional monarchy or even directly abdicating will naturally be revived.

As for whether those experiences from modern times can adapt to the current era and will cause bad consequences, they are not worried at all. After all, no matter how bad they are, they are not inferior to the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China?

The so-called "the king has no outside" means that the whole world is the king's land. Emperor Wu of Han was a firm believer in this idea. Simply put, it is to look at you all and be annoyed. Let you live in the way of our Han people. Whoever is not obedient will kill you, and will completely not recognize the cultural and social customs of the migrant nations.

To be more blunt, I will feel unhappy when I look at you. You must make me happy. If you don’t agree, I will do whatever you want. Until you agree, opinions? Whoever allows you to have opinions?

As a result, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, "the army was born for more than 30 years, and the household registration in the world was reduced by half." By the late Western Han Dynasty, such ideas were rejected by mainstream scholars because they could not afford it, so the mainstream ideological foundation gradually became "defense between the barbarians and the Xia Dynasty".

To be simple, foreign tribes are all garbage and stinky shit. Let's not pay attention to them or play with them. So when the Eastern Han Dynasty founded, the countries in the Western Regions cried and shouted and begged to send their sons as magistrates and surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu refused. During the civil strife of the Huns, some ministers suggested sending troops to attack Liu Xiu but refused. Even when Ban Chao was managing the Western Regions, the Eastern Han court did not help him. The famous Ban Gu actually received very little help when he managed the Western Regions.

Anyway, these two mainstream ideas are very sick to Liu Xie, a modern person.

However, because the Han Dynasty was too strong, Emperor Wu of Han was too sexy at that time, and there were young people who had moved in the Youbianliang and even Guanzhong. Many of them even came secretly, just like smuggling. Because since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the training of county soldiers has been abandoned, and Ma Zheng has also been denied. Instead, these ethnic minorities who have moved in the country need to consolidate the border for the Han Dynasty.

The result was that under the two constantly alternating mainstream ideas, the Han Dynasty was very twisted in its specific policies for the people who were attached to the people. It bullied people when it was okay, and when it was necessary, it asked them to fight for the Han people when it was necessary. Its own Han local army gradually became abolished. After the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the total strength of the dynasty formed more than 200,000 foreign soldiers from the Central League, accounting for more than half of the total force.

For example, one of the famous Sanming in Liangzhou, Duan Yi, a typical populist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, advocated the extermination of the rebel Qiang tribes, "it was the root of the root and could not start colonizing", which means almost killing all the people, but Duan Yi killed all the people led by the rebel Qiang tribe, and was almost the same as the Qiang soldiers.

Leading the Qiang soldiers to kill all the Qiang tribes, Niu Bar, I dare not write novels like this, otherwise you will definitely say that I am crazy.

Also, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, both politics, economy and military have been completely corrupted. Party members and scholars have become the actual masters of the Han Dynasty. They are politically reflected in the fact that party members from Yuzhou, Jizhou, Nanyang and other places have joined forces to squeeze the people of border counties. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they had bullied the tiger generals of border counties into "countered husbands of border counties" and regarded them as their own dogs, so that these Han people who truly understood the Hu people had no say in the court.

The large number of Han people moved from border counties economically, making them become tenants, tenants, and even slaves of their powerful economy. So they like the chaos on the border the most. Once the chaos on the border or there are rebellions from foreign leaders, they will be happy and won't fight. They force the people to "strengthen the walls and clear the country", pull them to "avoid the war", and hide in their own homes to be slaves for themselves.

Therefore, the Han court, which did not treat foreign races as human beings, naturally further oppressed foreign races and forced them to rebel after being controlled by the party members and powerful. When they rebel, they deliberately beat them up and even deliberately lost, and then moved a large number of people from the border areas.

As a result, the Han people in the border counties became smaller and smaller. For example, in the entire Liangzhou, the Han people were only 500,000 registered. I don’t know how many Qiang people are, but they are definitely more than Han people, and they are much more numerous. By the end of the Three Kingdoms, they became a real major concern.

Sometimes history books are more like novels than novels.

So when Liu Xie became the emperor and conscientiously performed the emperor's function and understood the inside story, he couldn't help but sigh: This is just a damn death!

(The Hu people moved inwardly, it cannot be said that it was Cao Cao's fault. They have been doing this for hundreds of years. The problem is not that the Hu people moved inwardly, but that the domestic ethnic policy after the migration was not good. In fact, the ethnic policy of Cao Wei was actually quite good. Cao Cao himself could understand it. However, the ethnic policy of the Jin Dynasty, where a large number of family members were in power, was particularly poor. When treating the internal young people, it was as stupid as it was, and it was even more stupid than the Eastern Han Dynasty. Then the Five Barbarians invaded China. It was so angry that it was written, so why did the Han Dynasty perish forcibly?!)

So Liu Xie thought that based on the experience of modern society in his previous life, he could actually be nicer to them. Everyone is a family. Can you negotiate what matters? They have been living on the same land for hundreds of years. What are the things that have to be fought and killed? What kind of hatred is it?

There are actually many people like Wuhuan, Xiongnu, etc. who can't speak the Wuhuan word at all. Isn't it over to change the ID card to Han people?

In this way, the descendants of the Han Dynasty could avoid the misfortune of the Five Barbarians invading China, and they could also take advantage of the opportunity of the political consultation meeting to further decentralize power, and then use this as the tone to adjust some other meetings.

Win-win!

He had thought about it, and when he finished all these series of tricks, he put on the air of constitutional monarchy. If his prestige was too high, he would set an example, abdicate from the emperor's position, abdicate to the crown prince, and become the prime minister. Then, after abdicating, he turned into a golden light and disappeared in the astonished eyes of the ministers.

Thinking of this, countless tricks appeared one after another in his mind.

No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than now?

……………………

Of course, on the other side, Yuan Shao, who was far away in the Guandu battlefield, was waiting for good news to be found in the rear base camp. After learning that his biological son had become king, the entire military account fell into silence.

After a while, Yuan Shao drove out all the staff in the room, and then laughed wildly in the tent alone. The smile was so desolate, but it was a bit heroic.

The ministers were also in panic at this moment. They stomped their feet anxiously and clapped their hands. Each face was filled with sorrow that could not be dissolved. However, no one waited outside Yuan Shao's tent, but they returned to the camp.

For example, Xun Chen, the representative of the scholars of Yingchuan, returned to the camp and sat for a night without sleeping. When the sun rose the next morning, his eyes were swollen like a panda.

For example, Xu You, the representative of the scholar in Nanyang, remembered that he had a good relationship with Cao Cao in his early years and intended to surrender to the court, but he also thought that his family who was still in Yecheng did not dare to run away directly. Instead, he wrote a stingy letter to the old man, and ordered his confidant to secretly run out and give it to Cao Cao, saying that he would find a way to control the military power and surrender directly, and redeem his sins whenever he had the chance.

For example, Chen Gui, the representative of the scholar in Xuzhou, drank himself so much that he didn't think about anything.

For example, Ju Su, the representative of the scholars in Jizhou... is now in prison, and he doesn't know that such a thing happened.

However, the next morning, Yuan Shao put his clothes on his robe with flowers in his arms, combed his hair in a slight way. He didn't sleep all night but looked energetic. He smiled slightly at the mirror, and a graceful demeanor was already overwhelmed.

However, he did not discuss matters with any adviser, but ordered Zhang He and Chunyu Qiong, the last two generals, to call over. Chunyu Qiong was really limited in ability. He had asked him to lead his troops back to Yecheng before, but was beaten by Zhang Liao and Zang Ba and abandoned his armor and fled back.

"Junyi, you, I, the king and the minister, I know you are not worthy of me for a long time. Now, even my orphan son is about to rebel against me. Do you want to rebel against me?"

Seeing Zhang He bowing his head and saying nothing, Yuan Shao laughed and said, "I know you must want to rebel. Today we will open the skylight and say something bright. Don't hide it. Zhong Jian? (Chunyu Qiong) You are from Yingchuan, and your family is also a member of aristocratic family. Haha, it's also interesting. As a place where party members gather, it's broken with our party members. Do you want to rebel and go home? With your status as a famous Yingchuan family, it will definitely not be difficult to report your life in the court, and you can even be an official."

Chunyu Qiong said, "Lord, I have been following you when I was fighting the Xiyuan Army during the reign of Emperor Ling. I have been here for so many years. Can I change my family now? The Yingchuan family has long since cut off my name from the genealogy and refuses to recognize me as an unfilial son. Back then, Jushu and the Jizhou people advocated the welcome to the emperor, and I was the first to stand up to oppose it. Now, do I still have the face to go home? Qiong is already homeless, haha, I should go to death with my lord. If I were lucky enough to leave a few words in the history books, it would be considered as a loyal death and a single death."

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay."

Then Yuan Shao looked at Zhang He and said, "I plan to let Chunyu Qiong lead the army back. Jun Yi, can you lead our troops and follow me to block the river along the river? I am here, whether it is Cao Cao or Zhang Liao, Zangba Cheng Yuxia Houyuan, you will only stare at me. You and me will be able to see your ability to use troops for three days. In the future, if you surrender to the court, you will be more valued. Three days later, you will be a great achievement. Zhong Jian, if he really guards you for three days and protects you, you must protect his family and send them to Xudu."

Chunyu Qiong glanced at Zhang He and said, "Lord, please let me stay, I am willing to stay and live and die with you."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "I have only one way to die, no way to live, but Shang'er still has it. He doesn't have the soldiers of his own line. If he doesn't have it, he will only become a puppet of Hebei scholars such as Shen Pei."

"Young Master treats you like this, but you..."

"Why are he doing me? He is my son. This is my only son!" As he said that, Yuan Shao's tears could no longer bear it and gushed out.

After crying for a while, Yuan Shao looked at Zhang He calmly and said, "Can you do it?"

When Zhang He heard this, he nodded, but Yuan Shao burst into tears and laughed with relief when he saw this.

"Zhong Jian, after you go back, you must assist Shang'er carefully. You can tell him three things to do."

"Master, tell me."

"First, let him retreat from the title of lord, and change to the governor of Jizhou. The above report was that the Han Dynasty paid tribute and sent his son as a charity. Although the Han army had won a great victory in this battle, the food and grass must have been sold out. Liu Xie's children pretended to be kind and righteous, and refused to rob the grain from the enemy. They would definitely be unable to attack Ji within three or two years. Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Liu Zhang, Gongsun Du, Han Sui, and the Han Dynasty still had so many ambitious princes. As long as he acted well, he might not have no chance. Let him wait patiently, appease the people, gather the morale of the army, and wait for the day when Liu Xie and Cao Cao turned against each other. I believe that this day will definitely come."

"Secondly, Liu Biao cannot rely on this person, but Sun Ce, a little wolf cub, is a hero in troubled times. He must form an alliance with him, start horse trade with him, encourage him to attack Jiujiang and Xuzhou. Only by joining hands with one south and one north can he resist Liu Xie's army."

"Third and most importantly, at this moment, the people of Jizhou are no longer trustworthy. They are either their own people. Even if they surrender to the court in the future, the court will definitely treat them well. They must be careful to examine Zhengnan!" As he said that, Yuan Shao and Chunyu Qiong unconsciously glanced at Zhang He, who was a representative of local military generals in Jizhou, but Zhang He lowered his head in shame.

"Who is the lord, who is trustworthy in the court?"

"You are my team minister, so you are trustworthy. You will entrust all the military affairs to you. As for the counselors... the people of Jizhou are not trustworthy. In addition to you, the people of Yingchuan are also hard to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous. As for Chen Gui, his loyalty is beyond doubt. But after all, he is a newcomer. His foundation is too shallow, and I am afraid that it will be useless. More importantly, this person has been confused by hatred and may have pulled Shang'er to do something irrational."

Chunyu Qiong frowned and said, "So what you mean is... let the young master reuse Nanyang people? Feng Ji and Xu You?"

"Yes, especially Xu You, this person is my best friend for many years. Although he is a little greedy for money, loyalty is reliable. Tell Shang'er, if you don't decide on foreign affairs, Chunyu Qiong, if you don't decide on internal affairs, please remember, remember! 1"
