Yao Yizhong is the general leader of Qiang nationality. At present, the total number of Qiang nationality must be more than 3 million. Then who gets Yao Yizhong's help, even if it can't make millions of Qiang people belong together, it will not be of general political or other significance. It is inevitable to cause vibration, or it may have a greater effect.
The rest of the people would be proud or delighted to learn that Yao Yizhong was going to surrender, even if Yao Yizhong was beaten to surrender. After all, in addition to the reputation of a famous general, Yao Yizhong's name as the general leader of the Qiang nationality alone is worth abandoning the past.
Liu Yan has never been an ordinary person. When he came to the besieged battlefield and heard the information, a stunned God didn't have a special reaction.
The composition of the remaining Qiang army is relatively pure. There are no "idle people" except the Qiang people. They can see clearly if they are blocked within 15 miles with a telescope.
"One by one, yellow and skinny." Sang Yu was in a very good mood because Ji Chang went to be a long history teacher on the North Bank of the Yellow River. For the first time, he became a long history directly under Liu Yan. Then came the war that was expected to drag on for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was wrong. He resumed his laughing appearance: "tut tut Tut, all the food and fodder of the living cattle and sheep belong to us. Now they can only chew dried meat and look short of water?"
No kidding. The remnant of Yao Yizhong is blocked between the Yellow River and Jishui. The lack of water sounds like a joke. However, no matter whether it is the Yellow River or Jishui River, there are Han Army fleets. Every time Qiang soldiers go to fetch water, they are shot by bed crossbows and powerful crossbows. Many times, they are seriously killed and injured. Maybe they can get some water, but a drop of water is really equal to a pool of blood.
After laughing, sang Yu looked at Liu Yan who seemed to be distracted and asked, "are you considering whether to accept Yao Yizhong's surrender?"
Where is Liu Yan thinking about this. He thought about how to take advantage of the current great opportunity to absorb more population, and what kind of trend the strategy of Jizhou would develop. He also needed to pay attention to the northern expedition of the Jin army in Jingzhou.
The difficulty faced by the Han collective had always been the shortage of population, so Liu Yan desperately tried to increase the population.
Since the beginning of the war last year, the speed of absorbing population by the Ministry of Han has decreased significantly. That is because of the strong and clear walls of the state of Zhao in Shijie and the blockade of the territory by the state of Zhao in Shijie, which makes it difficult for the Ministry of Han to "suck blood" from the state of Zhao in Shijie.
Before, Yao Yizhong, a crusading army, could also be regarded as the biggest threat to the Han Dynasty. After all, even regardless of the number of people, Yao Yizhong brought more than 200000 young people who can participate in the war. How can Liu Yan not be under pressure.
The first war between Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong has come to an end, but it doesn't mean that you can rest easy, not to mention the stone tiger that doesn't happen. There are more than 100000 troops from sun Fudu in Dongping County, and there are nearly 150000 enemy troops from Liu Kai and Lu Yong in Yuzhou. Even if Yao Yizhong's headquarters is destroyed, the Han Army still has many enemies to face, and the Han Army just after the war must have a rest time.
"Jizhou?" Sang Yu was silent. He could know many secrets. The expansion of the Han Army to Jizhou was a strategic deployment. He hesitated and said, "Murong Yan's army is going south again?"
Murong Yan's army failed the last time in order to eliminate the internal unstable elements. This time, it is Murong Zhuang, king of Yan, who wants to fight in person. Their opponent is Shijie Youzhou army led by Shi bin.
LV Tai was ordered to go north, and Jichang was the long history of LV Tai. After entering Jizhou, they were ordered to push northward as far as they could. The best result was to reach Zhangwu County (southwest of Tianjin). The minimum requirement was to win all the sites south of Bohai county and Hejian county.
The Youzhou army of the state of Zhao in Shijie should be the most powerful and the most soldiers among all the border armies. Shi bin also has a reputation for being good at unifying troops. After the defeat of Shi Hu in the last battle against Murong Yanguo, Zhao Jun in Shijie learned from the pain. After two years of continuous efforts by Shi bin and his subordinates, the quality of soldiers is not easy to judge, but there will be no lack of food and fodder after two years of cultivation.
Sang Yu was deeply confused and asked, "in fact, the minister was very curious. Why did you think that the Youzhou army in Shijie would be vulnerable to Murong Yan's army?"
No, Liu Yan never said that the Youzhou army of Shijie Zhao army was vulnerable to Murong Yan army. He just judged that the Youzhou army of Shijie Zhao army could not block the edge of Murong Yan army.
"Is it because Murong Zhang has mink and leopard cavalry?" Sang Yu said that this army is the armor and riding gear of Murong Yan state: "I heard that the number of marten and leopard cavalry of Yan army has increased to 5000."
In a word, during the period of Wu Hu Luan Hua, the number of armor and riding equipment has always been the basis for judging national strength. The heavy cavalry dressed in armor and riding equipment have not failed to live up to the expectations of the world. They have made great achievements in every battle.
"Every heavy cavalry is connected by iron cables, hooks and thorns. They stand in a straight line and run with their feet. The earth and mountains are shaking, and no one can stop them." Sang Yu said the information from Koguryo. He shook his head and said, "this information may be out of date."
Before Murong Yan swept the eastern periphery of Liao 1, there were 3000 armour riding gear. In Koguryo, they not only robbed other people's capital, but also dug a clean and neat tomb together with the tombs of several generations of Koguryo king. They swept most of Koguryo and couldn't even calculate what they robbed. Later, Murong Yan's army also attacked Fuyu, Quwo, Yuwen Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei continuously. Under the continuous victory, it was a big grab every time, and the national strength should be rich.
"The number of mink, leopard and iron cavalry is 5500, and the number of elite infantry armour is more than 10000." Liu Yan said that these data were transmitted from Tuoba Dai country, which is not necessarily correct. "The above are Murong Yan army with fine weapons and armor, and are more close to 50000 weapons and armor, but they are better at fighting. To say quality, it may not be much worse than the Capricorn army."
Murong Yanguo went south to gather the strength of the whole country. Elite troops poured their nests to the south. There were more troops under the mobilization of the whole country. The information transmitted to Qingzhou showed that Murong Zhuang entered Beiping county with nearly 400000 troops, and was facing off with Youzhou army led by Shi bin across a water soaked road.
"It's just because Shi bin attaches importance to Murong Yanjun that we can pick up cheap." Sang Yule laughed for a long time and said, "we didn't intend to stimulate Shi bin too much, but we would certainly disrupt his plan in the past, but we don't know how Murong seal will seize the opportunity."
Zhangwu County is a county of Jizhou, but it is on the edge of Jizhou and Youzhou. There are 400000 Murong Yan troops in Beiping County in the East 1 north of Youzhou army, and another 450000 Han troops in the south. The last time the parties gathered under the secret alliance, although they did not reach any alliance, those people in the state of Zhao in Shijie did not know that even if they did not, they must be regarded as a conspiracy. If Shi bin was not nervous, there would be a ghost.
The Han Army's northward attack on Jizhou will indirectly help murongyan army attack the Youzhou army of Zhao state in Shijie led by Shi bin, but it is obvious that even if it is so, it must be fought.
Just think about the situation in the two Song dynasties. The danger of the Yellow River is not enough. That is because the Yellow River will freeze in a large area in winter, and the ice layer is still thick enough. Then the Yellow River can pass freely during the freezing period in winter. In contrast, even some parts of the Yangtze River will freeze, but because of the latitude, the ice layer can not be much thicker. A few people may be able to cross the river from the ice layer, but they must be careful, not like the Yellow River.
He was able to attack and occupy Zhangwu County. Although he was still some distance from Yandi, he didn't completely control the so-called Yanyun land, but he won at least half. The importance of this half of the territory is so great that even if Liu Yan leads the army to attack Shi Huzhen, he must take it at any cost!
As long as you know some geographical knowledge, at least you know that you must control strategic places, you will understand that Liu Yan's choice is extremely correct. Sang Yu is one of the people who understand. Not only he, but also Ji Chang understands the importance of things. Therefore, Ji Chang will give up his upcoming glory and go to Jizhou in the final stage of the war with Yao Yizhong.
"Sun Fudu, Liu Kai and Lu Yong, what is their situation now." Liu Yan asked how likely these people were to rescue Yao Yizhong: "we only stopped for five days at most."
Yao Yizhong's defeated soldiers broke through in panic. The grain they carried must have bottomed out after more than ten days of consumption.
In the military, there is a term called "sorrow will win". It is far from saying that the army breaking out after sorrow is destructive, but also includes how terrible the death will of an army falling into despair.
According to the previous estimates of Liu Yan and others, information was also obtained from some surrendered enemy generals and schools. The food and fodder carried by the disabled soldiers of Yao Yizhong's Department was for at most half a month.
After Liu Yan's arrival, the Han army here reported to him that the Qiang people killed horses for food. The combined conclusion is that the result will appear in five days, whether it is annihilation or acceptance of surrender.
"Sir, do you want to send someone to contact him and stabilize Yao Yizhong so as not to......" Sang Yu still didn't say the four words "dog jumping over the wall". It's not how much he respects Yao Yizhong. If he doesn't respect his enemies, how can he affirm his achievements? After thinking for a while, he said, "the minister is still that opinion. You can not accept Yao Yizhong's conditions, but accepting surrender is conducive to your hegemony in the future."
Millions of Qiang people! Even if it is only superficially attached, its political value is incalculable.
Then, accepting Yao Yizhong's surrender is far more meaningful than killing him. At least it can give the other generals of Shijie Zhao a hope that they can surrender and live, which is conducive to recruiting and surrender the generals of Shijie Zhao in the future.
Sang Yu's opinion was relatively "neutral" and proposed to accept Yao Yizhong's surrender, but not to retain his title and official position, but to recognize his status as the general leader of the Qiang nationality. He believes that it should be recognized that Yao Yizhong, the general leader of the Qiang nationality, is still in his hands. Regardless of whether he can use it or not, it is all political capital. At least Shi Hu should be careful of the Qiang people under his own rule.
Ji Chang means more... How to say? He suggested that Liu Yan directly annihilate Yao Yizhong's headquarters and kill Yao Yizhong. The reason is that the two sides seem to have become blood feuds. With the lesson of Sima royal family, they must not repeat it again.
Of course, Ji Chang doesn't mean that all foreigners should be killed. He means that all the top leaders of foreigners should be killed, leaving the ignorant bottom to digest and integrate slowly. He even thought that not only the high-level leaders of all foreign nationalities should be killed, but also those elites. As a result, they should be completely erased from the traces of culture and history, as if no foreign nationality had existed.
If sang Yu is "neutral" and Ji Chang is "domineering and iron blood", there are also some "kingly" opinions.
What is "kingcraft" for Chinese civilization? Perhaps it is to convince people with virtue, or to move them and then educate them. For this time, some people think that Yao Yizhong's conditions should be accepted, so that he can be moved to tears and be used by Liu Yan wholeheartedly. In that case, millions of Qiang people will become Liu Yan's people.
It can be said that Liu Yan's response after hearing the so-called "kingly" opinion was very direct. First, he asked who else had the same opinion. After asking, he didn't say much, that is, there are many overseas islands in need of officials. These people with holes in their brains should go to the islands for hair blowing and fishing.
The Chinese civilization has ruled by "external saints and internal kings" more than once. This national policy is regarded by the Confucianism of crooked buildings as the avenue of enlightenment, that is, when they know what good things are fun, they must teach the barbarians. As long as they teach the barbarians to be civilized people, the same civilized people can certainly use civilized methods to solve problems, not to beat Grass Valley from time to time.
The Confucian enlightenment road without crooked buildings is actually a similar routine, but its implementation is fundamentally different. It is not to use words to teach barbarians how to become civilized people, It is to set up a "school Lieutenant (lieutenant general)" or "Duhu" in a certain place, such as the Hun school Lieutenant (lieutenant general) or "Duhu in the western regions". In short, those who can do it must not move their mouth and kill until they are obedient. If they are afraid of killing, they can talk about everything.
Liu Yan has long been worried about Yao Yizhong. Yao Yizhong knows the truth and quickly surrendered unconditionally. If Yao Yizhong doesn't know the truth, he will die.
It's definitely not Liu Yanhu's arrogance. What about millions of Qiang people? It's enough for him to have a Han nationality in the world. It's not about absolute descent, but about descent and culture. He does things that distinguish ethnic groups clearly and give preferential treatment to the minority people. The minority people will not be grateful. If they don't say it, the main nation will have resentment, which is completely asking for trouble.
Liu Yan's idea is very direct. When he can't control it, he can't get absolute loyalty. It's a big trouble to close up. Maybe the Qiang people will be stable temporarily, but if something like the old events in the northwest at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty may happen, it's better to make up his mind to expel or eliminate them at the beginning.
