Chapter 707 Appease and Stabilize(2/2)
The two had disagreements and gradually clashed, and finally Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan.
Xian Yufu and his younger brother Xian Yuyin led the remaining troops to avenge Liu Yu. At that time, the leader of the Hu people led more than 7,000 cavalry to follow him.
Because Yan Rou had always had a high prestige, he was elected Sima Wuhuan, and he summoned the barbarians, and tens of thousands of Han people attacked Gongsun Zan from the other side.
At the same time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the south were constantly attacking each other.
Gongsun Zan was faced with enemies on three sides, was defeated repeatedly, and finally committed suicide.
Although Xian Yufu and Tian Yu were in hostile camps, they later became close friends.
After Gongsun Zan's defeat, although the land of Youzhou was under Yuan Shao's name, it was Xian Yufu and Yan Rou who had the greatest influence.
Xian Yufu was elected by the officials and people to serve as the governor, and he appointed his good friend Tian Yu as the chief official.
At that time, all the heroes were rising up, and Xian Yufu didn't know who to follow. Tian Yu persuaded him to submit to Cao Cao, and asserted that the one who would bring peace to the world must be Cao Cao, and Xian Yufu followed his advice.
Later, the Battle of Guandu broke out, and Xian Yufu went to the front line from Youzhou to see Cao Cao in person. At the same time, Yan Rou also sent an envoy to see Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao unified Hebei, he reused both of them.
Tian Yu followed Gongsun Zan for a long time, and his attitude towards the Hu people was the same as Gongsun Zan's, that is, kill, kill, kill!
Xian Yufu, on the other hand, was neutral, attacking those who were dissatisfied with the Han and appeasing those who surrendered. Therefore, he was supported by some Hu people, but at the same time he was also hostile to some Hu people.
As for the Yan brothers, they tried to appease them and won the trust of the Hu people.
Even though Ke Bineng is now the most powerful force in Xianbei, he is not only popular among the tribesmen, but also other Hu leaders are also in awe of him.
But as soon as Yan Zhi came forward, he had to listen, which shows the influence of the Yan brothers on the Hu people.
Now Yan Rou is dead, and Xian Yufu has been transferred to Guanzhong.
Tian Yu and Yan Zhi had two extreme opinions, so the conflict of opinions suddenly became acute.
Although Tian Yu defeated Yuzhu's tribe this time, it also angered Kebi Neng and led his army to come, causing Youzhou to suffer from war.
Yan Zhi would not miss this opportunity. He wrote the matter into a memorial and rushed it to Luoyang.
Cao Rui was already devastated by two major defeats. After receiving the news of the northern victory, he was overjoyed, thinking that he could show off his martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, Ke Bineng's letter was also sent back to Luoyang at the same time.
After reading this letter, which was half threat and half persuasion, Cao Rui became furious.
Now he is young and vigorous, and he is the emperor. How can he be threatened by barbarians?
However, the southeast and northwest were greater threats than the Hu people, so he had to suppress his emotions.
He first publicized the great defeat of the barbarians in Youzhou to boost the morale of the people, and at the same time concealed Ke Bineng's letter.
However, the matter is not over yet.
At this time, the governor of Youzhou was named Wang Xiong. Like Yan Zhi, he advocated appeasing the Hu people.
However, since Tian Yu was appointed as the Colonel of Huwuwan, he was worried that the Hu people would annex each other and the Hu people would gradually unify into large tribes, causing greater harm.
So he suppressed the annexers and forced the powerful tribes to disperse. Anyone who dared to make suggestions for the barbarians tried his best to sow discord between them.
Wang Xiong and Tian Yu had always had different political views. Now that they had the opportunity, his party members took the opportunity to slander Tian Yu for disrupting the border and causing trouble for the country.
At the same time, Wang Xiong wrote a memorial, pointing out that the biggest hidden dangers to Wei at this time were Shu and Wu, not the Hu people in the north. Therefore, the Hu people should not be angered at this time and let them invade the border.
Cao Rui was secretly relieved when he received the memorial from Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou. At the same time, Wang Xiong's views were very popular with him.
After considering the overall situation, Cao Rui took advantage of Tian Yu's excuse to defeat the Hu people and transferred him to the post of Governor of Runan and promoted him to General of Extermination of Yi.
Because in this way, Ke Bineng was temporarily appeased.
This matter had twists and turns, but in the end everyone gained something.
Even Tian Yu, who lost his position as Colonel Guard Karasuma, was transferred out of Youzhou, but he was still promoted.
I have to say that Cao Rui played really beautifully.
Last winter, the Wei Dynasty first re-pacified most of Anding's areas, and at the same time recaptured Yuezhi City from the Shu people.
Now, Tian Yu also defeated the Hu people and captured many.
This kind of small victory was nothing in the past, but for Cao Wei, whose officials and people were in a downturn at this time, it was like a shot in the arm.
Cao Rui showed his martial arts skills and began to order the major construction of the ancestral temple in Luoyang to welcome the four divine masters of Cao Jiagao, Emperor Tai, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wen in Yecheng.
At the same time, he still worshiped the ancestral temple and issued an edict:
"The ancient etiquette stipulates that when the queen has no sons, when selecting a concubine to inherit the family, she should inherit the orthodoxy and uphold justice. How can she take into account personal family ties?
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty succeeded Emperor Zhao to the throne and added the imperial title of his biological father; Emperor Ai ascended the throne as the monarch of a feudal state, but Dong Hong and others cited the example of the destroyed Qin State to confuse the court at that time, and respectfully addressed his biological father as Emperor Gong.
He built a sacrificial temple in the capital and favored the concubines of the vassal state, making her comparable to the Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace.
In the front hall of the imperial court, we talk about closeness and distance, and in the harem there are four queen mothers at the same time. They transcend their status and have no restraint. Neither humans nor gods bless them. It is not difficult to blame Shi Dan who is loyal and regular..."
The imperial edict listed various actions of the Han Dynasty that violated etiquette and law, emphasizing orthodoxy.
He also authorized the country's powerful ministers to kill those sycophants without mercy.
Cao Rui not only announced this edict to the world, but also wrote the contents into a gold book, hid it in the ancestral temple, and included it in the national code.
