Liu Xie was not in a good mood when he realized that he might have been manipulated by the veterans.

The road ahead will be long, so we must be prepared for a protracted battle.

Liu Xie thought for a while and suddenly said: "Sir, Mr. Yang is very relieved to leave. It seems that he has great confidence in you."

The corner of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and he replied quietly: "The Taiwei has confidence in Your Majesty." Taking two steps forward, he added: "Your Majesty talks about Tao, and ministers talk about skills. Only the Tao is right, and then the skills will be clear.

, nothing goes wrong."

"Haha." Liu Xie laughed twice.

"Hehe." Jia Xu also smiled.

Liu Xie walked forward slowly. "In your opinion, sir, how should we use our troops to boost the morale of the imperial court in one battle?"

"The only way to win is to be surprised."

"How to be surprising?"

Jia Xu was not in a hurry to answer, and waited until the two of them got on their horses and walked side by side before continuing: "Liangzhou is bitterly cold, with many pastures and little cultivated land. Therefore, there are more cattle and horses but less grain, and there are more migrations and less settlements. When you are in trouble,

If there is no one to help you, you will die, and when there are a large number of people, you cannot provide for yourself. It is inevitable that the weak will eat the strong. Therefore, many people are poor but generous, and they care about life and death but lack integrity..."

Liu Xie listened quietly.

He asked Jia Xu for advice, but Jia Xu talked about the local customs and customs of Liangzhou. Naturally, he was not sentimental for a moment, but wanted him to understand Liangzhou and its people from the source.

If you want to stabilize Liangzhou, you must first understand why Liangzhou is in chaos.

One of the fundamental reasons is poverty.

Liangzhou has little arable land, harsh environment, vast territory and sparsely populated areas. In the Han Dynasty, when population was the main criterion, Liangzhou suffered in all aspects.

Taking officials as an example, the main way for ordinary people is to promote filial piety and integrity. Even if the border counties are given preferential treatment and a population of 100,000 can recommend one person every year, the number of filial piety and integrity in Liangzhou is still less than a fraction of the people in the Central Plains.

This caused a bad effect. The people of Liangzhou were almost silent in the court, and most of the policies related to Liangzhou were formulated by the people of Guandong.

Liangzhou originally had another advantage: becoming an official with military merit.

There were prime ministers from Kanto and generals from Kansai. Liangzhou, with its fierce folk customs, had many famous generals and generals emerging in endlessly. Liangjiazi from the six counties was once the main force of the Forbidden Army and synonymous with elites.

However, since the time of Guangwu, this dynasty has emphasized literature over martial arts, and Confucian scholars have gained power, suppressing military people to the point of being almost harsh.

Liangzhou Sanming is the epitome of the tragedy of Liangzhou warriors.

Without a chance to speak out, not only were they suppressed politically by the Guandong people, but they were also exploited economically. Liangzhou's economy worsened. When you can't survive by hard work, there is only one way left, no matter what, as long as you can survive.

For individuals, even if they do not respect benevolence, justice and morality, stealing and robbery are acceptable, and they are not even ashamed of them, but rather they are proud of them.

For the group, the weak eats the strong, the strong is king, internal strife and betrayal are common, and no one feels ashamed.

"Li Jue is suspicious, and Guo Si and others are no exception. No one can be trusted, and no one will truly trust others. They always hold two knives in their hands, one aimed at the enemy in front of them, and the other guarding against the friends around them. If Your Majesty

If you just want to attack them and run away, your majesty doesn't need to use force. I can make them fall apart and even kill each other with a few simple letters."

Jia Xu let out a long breath, looking lonely and indescribably sad.

"But Liangzhou remains the same. A few years later, the rebellion will inevitably revive and make a comeback."

Liu Xie tasted Jia Xu's words and sighed in his heart.

Defeating Li Jue and Guo Si was not a problem at all for Jia Xu, but how to maintain long-term stability for the governor of Liang.

Killing is always a way to stop the boiling water. It will only intensify conflicts but cannot solve the problem.

It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

To stabilize Liangzhou, poverty in Liangzhou must be fundamentally solved and a way for Liangzhou people to survive.

This is what Jia Xu expected of him.

He wanted to benefit all people, and Liangzhou people were also part of all people, so it was natural for Jia Xu to want to get on the bus first.

Liu Xie raised his head and looked into the distance.

At the end of his sight was Liangzhou under the snow-capped mountains.

"Sir, do you want people from Liangzhou to move inward, such as Guanzhong?"

Jia Xu turned to look at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also turned to look at him and smiled meaningfully.

Jia Xu withdrew his gaze, stroked his beard, and pondered for a moment.

From his heart, he certainly hopes that some Liangzhou people can settle in Guanzhong. Guanzhong is already deserted and has serious population loss. It is the best way to resettle Liangzhou people, and it is even a way to get the best of both worlds.

But he knew better that large-scale inward migration would inevitably bring about conflicts. Coupled with the impact of Li Jue, Guo Si and others' killings in Guanzhong, Liangzhou people would not be able to truly integrate into Guanzhong for a long time.

"If you, sir, can't decide at the moment, you might as well put it on hold for now." Liu Xie said, "When we get to Bingzhou, sir, you may have a decision."

Jia Xu nodded.

Although he didn't understand why Liu Xie said this, he could tell that Liu Xie didn't want him to make a decision now, or even wanted Liangzhou people to move to Guanzhong.

The issue of Huhua in Bingzhou has been the focus of their recent discussions.

If he didn't believe that Liu Xie had the need to solve this problem, he almost suspected that Liu Xie was perfunctory with him.

Liu Xie waved the riding whip in his hand as the horse advanced.

"In this battle, we are outnumbered. Even if Li Jue and Guo Si are incompatible with each other in appearance, we should not take them lightly. The strategy for weakening the enemy must be considered by Sir. The responsibility for self-strengthening is mine. How about it? Of course, I still need Sir's guidance on how to use troops before the battle."

"

Jia Xu nodded with a smile. "I will repay Your Majesty's kindness with a pure heart."

Liu Xie smiled.

He knew the implication of Jia Xu's words. This was originally a transaction, not a passionate righteousness between the monarch and his ministers. If he could not solve the problem of long-term peace and order for the governor of Liang, Jia Xu had many ways to make him pay the price.

For him, even if he does not consider Jia Xu, Liangzhou is still an issue that he must consider.

At the most minor level, this is a matter of personal safety.

On a larger scale, this is related to the survival of the Han Dynasty, and even the direction of Chinese civilization.

"Go back to the imperial camp!"

"Wei!" Wang Yue responded and raised his hand to indicate that Shi A rode off and told Yu Lin and Hu Ben who were waiting by the roadside to set off.

Huben stood up, Yu Lin mounted his horse, unfurled his flag, protected Liu Xie and Jia Xu, and walked slowly towards the imperial camp.

Duan Xuan stood on the side of the road, watching the Emperor's not-too-long, yet solemn and solemn ceremony passing by, and suddenly his eyes became wet.

"Unexpectedly, today, I saw the Han family style again."

Duan Yi, the attendant at the side, rolled his eyes with disdain. "How can such a few people be called the Han family?"

"Shu Zi, what do you know?" Duan Xuan raised his hand. "I think back then, Duke Hui Zong decided to rule Wusun and Ban Chao decided to rule the Western Regions. How could it be based on the number of people? The Han family should have a British master and trust my warriors to conquer the barbarians like rebels.

Zhang'er. Although the emperor is young, he has the style of a British ruler, and the great rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty can be expected."

"The emperor is the British master? I really didn't see it." Duan Yi touched his head and stared at the emperor's back in the distance, doubtful.
