The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 563 General Tianbao
Fan Zhongyan and Xue Rengui were in charge of Liu Bian's various affairs in Youzhou.Although the Hu people outside the Great Wall were integrated, it was a major event after all. Youzhou couldn't afford the equipment of [-] cavalry, and Luoyang's support was needed.

Therefore, on the one hand, Xue Rengui asked Yuwen Chengdu to form a cavalry and train it diligently, and on the other hand, he and Fan Zhongyan jointly wrote a letter to Liu Bian, stating the matter.The letter was quickly delivered to Liu Bian, but Liu Bian's brocade guards were all-pervasive, and Liu Bian knew about it in the first two days.

For this matter, Liu Bian must have taken a supportive attitude. Cavalry has always been the weakness of the big man, and the cavalry is only available in the big man.Bingzhou formed a team after the Battle of Yanmen that year. After years of development, there are now more than 2 cavalry.At the same time, a cavalry force of [-] people was formed, commanded by Gao Changgong. This branch was placed in the important area of ​​Hangu Pass. Because Chang'an and Luoyang are very important, they are the two capitals of the Han Dynasty, and Hangu Pass is very far away from the two places. It is so close, whether it is from Hangu Pass to Chang'an or Luoyang, it can be reached in half a day.If there is a danger in the capital, the cavalry will be able to arrive in half a day to support it. It was thanks to the protection of this cavalry that Youzhou raided Chang'an back then.This cavalry should not be used lightly, it is used to guard the safety of the two capitals.

After several years of development, the cavalry in Youzhou also has about ten thousand people, while in Liangzhou, Cao Cao only guards Longxi, Tianshui, Wudu and other counties.The rest of Liangzhou is still in the hands of the Mongols, so there are not many sources of war horses. In addition to the two cavalry of the White Horse Yicong and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, there are more than [-] cavalry that have been slowly formed in recent years.

Calculated in this way, the cavalry in Liu Bian's hands is only about 6.Compared with the princes from all walks of life, this number is indeed many.But compared with the Mongolian Jurchens, they are far inferior. Each of them has more than 20 cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is terrifying.

As for the cavalry in Yanmen, Youzhou, and Longxi, they have poor actual combat experience, and their cavalry commanders are not familiar with the tactics of Mongolian and Jurchen cavalry.It is simply impossible to compare with Mongolian and Jurchen cavalry.

Without cavalry, how could it be possible to contend against Mongolia, Jurchen?Even if Liu Bian relied on the big city of Seoul to defend, it would not be a long-term solution. Liu Bian would never allow such a powerful foreign race to continue to exist.To wipe out these two clans, Liu Bian is sure to win, but without a powerful cavalry, this idea is nothing but empty talk.

Even if Liu Bian had such peerless commanders as Li Jing and Xue Rengui under his command, and had no cavalry, and relied on infantry to contend against this kind of tribe, he would not dare to say that he would win for sure.If it drags on for a long time, Liu Bian will not be able to destroy the two clans in his lifetime, and if later generations change their strategies, history may also develop in the same direction.

So the cavalry is the most important thing. Liu Bian has always shown goodwill to Ran Min. Apart from respecting Ran Min, Liu Bian just wants to get this victorious begging army.Now that there are foreign races outside the Great Wall to take refuge in, and there are giants like Yuwen Chengdu trained, it won't be long before this cavalry can burst into power.Because their riding and shooting skills are superb, they only need to train in discipline and tactics.Long-term things have already been learned, and discipline and warfare can be accomplished in a year or two.

Liu Bian immediately held a court meeting to let the officials discuss the matter.

Above the court, Liu Bian circulated the letter to the officials, and then said: "Now Yuwen Chengdu has integrated a group of tribes and formed [-] cavalry to serve our great man. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Fan Wenzheng and General Xue have passed on the details of this matter. Yu Wencheng is brave and invincible, and his strength is comparable to that of General Xue. And I am a big man who lacks cavalry. This kind of fierce general leads the battle, this is the blessing of the great man!" Taiwei Lu Zhi said with his hands clasped.

"Although the barbarians are useful, they can't believe them all. If they hadn't been driven to a dead end, how could it be so? Do you have any suggestions to keep them loyal forever?" Liu Bian asked.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and went out, saying: "Your Majesty, these barbarians are attached to the big Han. They don't care that they can't survive. They are afraid of Mongolia. But in the future when Mongolia is cleared, they will return to the grassland. Your Majesty might as well educate them and turn them into Han people. And those cavalrymen , Seeing that the clansmen have become the common people of my great man, they will feel at ease to serve my great man, and there is no need to worry about their rebellion!"

Liu Bian nodded and said: "What Wen Ruo said is very true, but the same is true for the Southern Huns. They were placed in Hetao at the beginning, but after they found out that they had grown stronger, they enslaved the Han people and invaded the territory of the Han. We have to guard against it. What do you want? What is the specific strategy for how to practice what you said?"

"When the Southern Huns were settled back then, the Hetao was directly given to them to let them develop on their own. The management was lax, but now His Majesty wants to learn a lesson, and should divide and integrate them! Now Bingzhou Shangjun, Xihe, south of Yanmen and other places, prefectures Large and sparsely populated, it is possible to arrange those alien races in these places, divide their ethnic groups, make them live together with Han people, learn Han culture, let them give up grazing and engage in farming, and these places must also be governed by Han officials. This is only a few years, They got used to the life of the big Han, and took root in the land. Even if Mongolia is destroyed in the future, are they willing to go back? After a few years, they will be allowed to intermarry with Han people. In a few years, they will be no different from me, and they will completely become Han people!"

Liu Bian murmured: "In your opinion, how many years will it take for these people to return?"

"If they are Your Majesty who destroys the country, I am afraid they will not return for a hundred years, but they are Mongolia and destroy the country. I am grateful for the acceptance of the big man. If they follow the strategy of the humble minister, they will return in 20 years!" Xun Yu replied.

Liu Bian is now the emperor of the great man. From the current point of view, Liu Bian's actions should be based on the interests of the great man.Although the later generations are indistinguishable from these barbarians, they are different now. They are enemies now and will pose a threat to the big man.However, Liu Bian doesn't mind if Xun Yu's strategy is followed to turn the Hu people into Han people.

A big country should have the bearing of a big country. Since it will not cause harm to the country, Liu Bian will not look at it with colored glasses.On the premise of ensuring national security, to tolerate and influence.A big country will not despise other races, not to mention that according to the map of later generations, they are also people living in the country.

However, there are some tribes that Liu Bian will not tolerate. They are born with low bones, such as the people living in the south of Xuantiao in Youzhou, and those overseas islands.

Enlightenment and intermarriage have happened before, especially in Xiliang.However, there must be specific policies for this kind of thing. Liu Bian nodded in agreement, looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, since you proposed this idea, you can draft a document and discuss specific policies. 20 Years from now, I want these people to forget their country, become Han people, and never let go!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Bian also said: "Now there are nearly 70 or [-] Hu people, and Youzhou is difficult to support, so we moved these people to Bingzhou, Shangjun, Xihe, Yanmen and other places on this ground. As for the formation of cavalry, if each The leader of Fang refused, so let's just say that they will live temporarily. When Mongolia is destroyed in the future, they can return to the grassland! But Bingzhou has to deal with it first, and let them move when the land, houses, and food are ready. Come on, settle down!"

The population of nearly 70 is equivalent to half of the population of Bingzhou. Fortunately, Shangjun, Xihe, and Yanmen are sparsely populated, so it is not difficult to arrange these people.It may seem troublesome right now, but it is actually a long-term solution. Now there are crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, and those places are suitable for growing these crops.In a few years, he will be able to return to the big man and build this place into a food and grass.

"Where is Yuwen Chengdu? Now that he has formed a cavalry to serve the great man, what kind of general should I make him?" Liu Bian continued to ask.

"In the past, there were captaincy of Wuhuan, General Du Liao, etc., who were responsible for managing the border defense of the Han Dynasty and handling the affairs of the Hu people. Now that the Han Dynasty is in civil strife, these positions will not be established. Your Majesty can restore the position of General Du Liao and confer the title of Yuwen Chengdu , Let him guard the Youzhou border and handle the affairs of the barbarians in the north!" Lu Zhi suggested.

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "General Du Liao came because of Liaoshui, but Liaoshui is in Hetao. If Ran Min returns, it is appropriate for me to designate General Du Liao. But Yuwen Chengdu is in the Shanggu area of ​​Youzhou , this General Du Liao does not live up to his name!"

As soon as Lu Zhi heard Liu Bian's veto, he said again: "If you don't call him General Du Liao, let's call him Colonel Wuhuan!"

"Yuwen Chengdu's soldiers and horses come from various tribes, and it is even more inappropriate to be called Captain Wuhuan!" Liu Bian vetoed again.

One or two official positions in charge of foreign nationalities were rejected by Liu Bian, and the officials did not have a better proposal.Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Yuwen's Chengdu Department has merged with Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and even Qiang people. This is unprecedented. Your Majesty may add a general to the position!"

Liu Bian laughed and said, "That's a very good idea! Why don't you call it General Tianbao? It took no effort to get this cavalry. It can be said that God gave me a treasure. I named it Tianbao. I hope that this cavalry will not be begged for by my big man. , How about establishing merit!"

General Tianbao was the title of Yuwen Chengdu's previous life, and Liu Bian gave an explanation anyway, no matter how good it sounded, it was the emperor's idea anyway.All the ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Since this is the case, Xun Yu immediately drafted an edict to confer Yuwen Chengdu as General Tianbao, a general of the third rank, and form [-] Huren cavalry to guard the north of Youzhou. In addition, the cavalry weapons and armor should be built as soon as possible and sent to the army. middle!"

"Xun Yu, you are recruiting talents at the border of Bingzhou, looking for people who can speak various languages, and setting up potato offices in Xihe, Shangjun, Yanmen and other places. Now that the cold winter is not busy, you can build houses and reclaim wasteland. It will be done by March next year. The matter of relocation, spring plowing, and all tribes must be treated equally, you must not be contemptuous or indulged, you are fully responsible for this matter, if I want results, I must handle the process!"

Xun Yu's face turned bitter. Everyone only wants the result, but now you still have to look at the process. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing me?Xun Yu sighed and said, "Your Majesty entrusted me with an important task, but this matter is too difficult and cumbersome. Please also send someone to assist my minister!"

"Oh? Who do you want to help?" Liu Bian asked with a smile.

"Master Liu, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture!" Xun Yu replied.

"This Xun Yu has a good vision! Let Liu Bowen make some achievements!" Liu Bian secretly praised Liu Bowen and said, "Liu Ji, you will assist Xun Yu and take charge of this matter!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Liu Bowen hastily bowed his hands and accepted the order.
