Chapter 2796 Li Dian has a chance to stay in Hanzhong, Zhang Liao has no choice but to meet the cavalry
Although Li Dian was smelling alcohol on his body, his spirit was not as depressed as when Pu was still there. Instead, he was like a long sword that had just been sharpened, emitting a sharp light.
He spread out a piece of bamboo paper and prepared to write down the strategy he envisioned and deliver it to the place where the cavalry was.
Before the Di people's king Pu came, Li Dian had already had some ideas, but it had not been completely formed, so it was not convenient to report it. However, what Li Dian did not expect was that Zhang Liao left before the back foot, and the Di people came over, so Li Dian did not say that he had to wait until he had decided or report it before letting the Di people come...
After all, this is like a battle formation, and the opponent will never wait until you are ready before starting.
The biggest advantage of the Di people is that the number of conflicts they had with the Han Dynasty was not as many as those of the Xiongnu or Qiang people, so they lived a more stable life, which also led to the large number of Di people and wide distribution. From Longxi to Sichuan and Shu, there were Di people. And because the Di people can be big or small, in most cases, it is like a pile of loose sand, and it is difficult to form a joint force and there will be no big threat.
Of course, if there are big Di kings like Yang Qianwan and Wang Gui, if you want to unify the entire Di tribe, it will be a huge threat no matter when it is, and you must always pay attention to it...
In such a situation, how to subtly educate the Di people and not arouse the disgust of the Di people is a test of the ability of the ruling officials in the area who come into contact with the Di people.
Li Dian picked up his pen, pondered for a moment, and wrote down the four words "Enjoy the profit".
Emperor Guangwu gave the Di people to the king and granted seals and ribbons, which was certainly a kind of win-win, but at the moment, when the Han Dynasty's imperial power was weak and the east and west were divided into two parts, if he only knew how to copy the old answers and imitated them blindly, it was very likely that it would not have the same effect as that in the time of Guangwu.
Simply put, everything is the most precious thing for the first time.
With the spread of seals and ribbons among the Di people's kings, it is very likely that the award of positions alone is a joke.
So what are the most effective methods for scattered groups like the Di people?
Li Dian thought of "interests".
Whenever there are too many people, the most common problem is uneven distribution of interests.
From gangs to teams, good people, bad people and ordinary people, as long as they involve interests, this problem will naturally arise, and very few can solve it well, especially in the case of many people in the current situation of the Di people. Who can convince who? Who can play the role of a balancer?
What is completely different from the Southern Xiongnu is that the Di people are in the mountains, unlike the Southern Xiongnu, and they are on the edge of Yinshan. These Di people are like small self-sufficient manors. Apart from exchanging some necessary means of production and living, they actually have little contact with the outside world, which makes it difficult for the educational forces to penetrate into the Di people's area.
The Di people could not understand the language and customs of the Han people, and did not want to understand them, so how could they educate them?
Therefore, before educating, we must first strengthen communication.
This is the first step in temptation.
How can we attract the Di people if we don’t give benefits? But how to give and what to give has become the key to the problem.
Li Dian finally decided to start with agriculture and sericulture.
Because whether it is Han or Di people, they all have to eat.
Even the ignorant and stupid person will instinctively want to eat and survive, so on this topic, it will never be outdated or rejected by the Di people.
At the same time, Li Dian also deliberately made a bet, which turned from an imposed "giving" to an automatic "seeking" by the Di people. When the results of the two sides' farming comparison come out, the Di people will inevitably want to secretly overturn the so-called "secret" of the Han people, and then the Di people will naturally spontaneously learn Chinese, learn Han people's techniques, and change their own habits.
The only disadvantage is that the whole strategy is long, and it is not that you can see any effect in a short period of time, nor that if you do it now, you will be able to have a large number of Di people the next day, and they will run to the city at noon and kneel down and kowtow with a bang...
Therefore, in the political atmosphere before the Han Dynasty, ordinary officials were not willing to do such long-term plans.
Who knows how many years he can work in the position?
In a chaotic political system, even those who want to do things with peace of mind cannot do things well.
Li Dianbi paused slightly, then stopped, frowned, and took the information of the Di people annotated by the cavalry to the hands. He looked at the simple four words before and after, and then thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
"The failure of things" is, who was exposed? Needless to say, it must be exposed by the Han people themselves. But it was obviously something that was beneficial to the Han people themselves, so how could it be exposed? Did the Han people who leaked the news at that time not know that this was a national policy of the Han people and a thing that was beneficial to the Han people themselves? Obviously it was impossible. The only explanation was some immediate interests.
The interests of the country are of the country and he cannot get them.
Or he would not feel it for a while, and the immediate benefits could be obtained immediately. So this is related to the two subsequent words of "Chief", "Integrity". If an official cannot be honest, then there is a high probability that he will not do anything for the country and the Chinese nation.
But can officials who only know how to be honest can do things well? Just like Kong Fen. He is indeed honest to a certain extent, but he loses the support of all officials. Instead, because of his integrity, the leader of the Di people who feels fair treatment, became the combat force under Kong Fen at the most critical moment.
This is a great irony. The great man raised his troops for a thousand days, but he couldn't use it when he was using it!
The thieves that even the Di people could defeat. Although they were in the mountains and forests, the Di people might be more familiar with the road and have better geographical locations, but that was only this! According to the information, Kong Fen did not understand any military affairs at all, so he was either the leader of the Di people, or the thief was actually so bad...
Both such situations actually illustrate one problem, Kong Fen is of no use. Therefore, as a main official position in a place, it is obviously a big problem to only know how to be honest but not to restrain his subordinates and rectify the administration of officials. This kind of problem may not be obvious at ordinary times, but like Kong Fen, once he encounters a thief, the problem will be big.
And for Hanzhong, is there no "thief"?
So for Li Dian, he not only had to consider his own integrity, but also the integrity of the officials under his rule. If he wanted to make officials honest, the first issue was to ensure that these officials could have some normal "meal".
Official meal.
Timed and fixed-point, safe and guaranteed.
If you get used to eating shit outside casually, it will be difficult to control. At that time, someone will question those who eat regular meals. Do you think you can read pirated versions... Uh, no, isn't it delicious to eat shit?
Although there may be no difference between the shit-like chocolate and the chocolate-flavored shit when eaten, it will definitely be different after eating...
Li Dian wrote three pieces of bamboo velvet paper with his thoughts and strategies, and then stopped with some unsatisfactory thoughts. Then he reviewed them again and slightly modified some of the inappropriate words and phrases. Then he took the new bamboo velvet paper, copied it uprightly, put it in the bamboo tube, sealed it with fire paint, solemnly took the mark, and covered it.
"Come!" Li Dian called the guard, "Send it to Chang'an immediately and hand it over to the lord to personally start!"
Compared to Li Dian's confidence and general strategy, Zhang Liao felt that he had no idea...
Zhang Liao also noticed some problems more and vaguely heard some wind.
This problem is not a problem in Hanzhong, but a problem in the Western Regions.
Is the problem in Hanzhong big? Although Zhang Liao did not think about the deeper education issue like Li Dian, he not only re-stabilized the business roads and calmed the place during the process in Hanzhong, but also opened another construction and expanded the road to Chang'an, and built multiple transit stations, which were also quite successful.
But this doesn't mean anything.
If you have merits, you should reward.
If you have any mistakes, you should be punished.
But there are always people who can't figure it out, and even mix up their merits and demerits.
Zhang Liao sighed long.
"Master, are you tired?" said the guard beside Zhang Liao, then looked up and looked ahead, "Four or five miles ahead, there is an inn. Why don't we go there and take a rest?"
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and nodded.
In order to make the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong smoother, starting from the entrance of Baoxie Road, basically every five miles or ten miles apart, there will be an inn, either large or small, and then provide accommodation, food and clothing supplements, as well as vehicle equipment repairs, etc.
Zhang Liao's guards whistled, and then several people passed by Zhang Liao, went forward, and checked for Zhang Liao first.
Zhang Liao's heart suddenly moved slightly.
He looked back at the private soldiers who followed him to Chang'an this time.
At present, Zhang Liao did not have any soldiers in charge of Bingzhou in history. At present, most of the Bingzhou soldiers followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, and a small part remained in the Yin Mountains in Hedong. Only a small part, about 800 years old, followed Zhang Liao. Later, some of them were lost and added a little more, and now it remains at around 1,500.
Of course, this time when he arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Liao did not bring all the more than 1,000 soldiers, but only two hundred soldiers. The rest of the troops first went out of Yangping Pass and headed towards the direction of Wudu Tianshui to Longxi. After seeing the cavalry, he would probably go to Longxi and meet with these soldiers.
These soldiers can be regarded as Zhang Liao's foundation, but at the same time, while Zhang Liao was walking in the Baoxi Road, he silently asked himself over and over again, "Is Bingzhou troops really important?"
Everyone has their own value.
In history, Cao Cao had hesitated for a while, but eventually killed Lu Bu. However, he refused to kill all the elite Bingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers, which were fighting for hundreds of battles, so Zhang Liao was left as his commander. Zhang Liao did not disappoint Cao Cao, and he made great achievements in the battles between the south and the north.
Simply put, Cao Cao chose Zhang Liao at that time, not the first choice, and Lu Bu was not the first choice. Cao Cao actually wanted Chen Gong more. Because only Chen Gong's identity could help him collect the remaining soldiers in Bingzhou, and not worry about the loss of military power after Chen Gong led the troops. It was very easy to pack up later. Unfortunately, Lao Cao's classmates tried hard to persuade him, trying to impress Chen Gong by going to school together, but Chen Gong didn't know whether he had seen through it or had long been discouraged, so he had the opportunity to change his hair into a second spring.
Now most of the Bingzhou soldiers followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions, while the Xiliang soldiers surrendered to Fei Qian, and later most of them followed Zhao Yun to open up the Northern Region Protectorate. Although the soldiers in Chang'an and the subsequent soldiers under the command of the Cavalry may still be from Bingzhou or Xiliang, they were all recruited one after another, not the Bingzhou soldiers and Xiliang soldiers who were originally making trouble in Heluo and Chang'an.
As for why the Cavalry divided the soldiers in these two parts into the west and the other to the north, Zhang Liao actually had some answers in his heart.
The human heart is the most complicated thing after all.
This is true for the top and the bottom.
Zhang Liao basically did the whole process, well, but at least he was in it. During the fall of Dong Zhuo from the peak to Li Guo's chaos in Chang'an, he saw with his own eyes the fierce rise of the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers, and he looked arrogant in Luoyang City. However, he also saw the Xiliang soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers walking like wild dogs, losing their hearts and goals in the wilderness.
These two different scenes, like Baoshui and Jingshui, seem to be completely incompatible, but they are connected together and eventually form Baoshui.
Go up and then go down.
Between the rise and fall, one hits the mountain stream or goes to the main road.
Before Dong Zhuo, whether it was the Xiliang army or the Bingzhou army, they were actually border troops, and they were all "forgotten" by the Han Dynasty. They were among the class that was excluded, bullied and exploited.
Well, this "class" is also a word created by the cavalry. Zhang Liao thought it was very appropriate, just like oil pressing, the layer of oil sandwiched between the stones, and the stairs of stones and wood in the pony slanting.
The Xiqiang Rebellion lasted for a long time, and the problem was indeed very big. But after so long, can all the blame be blamed on the Xiliang soldiers? Shandong was dragged down. Could it be that the soldiers from Bingzhou were constantly transferred to Xiliang, which eventually led to the complete loss of the northern region. Isn’t Bingzhou considered being dragged down?
Are there no resentment among Bingzhou people?
And Dong Zhuo was just guiding him because of the situation, it was not right, it was Li Ru...
Then suddenly, all the soldiers, including the Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou soldiers, and the stones pressed under the feet of the Han gentry, rolled up like those stones under the blast of the gunpowder on the Baoxi Road, lifting down all the soil and vegetation on the stones, as well as the insects, or people.
Therefore, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, those arrogant and domineering, as well as the madness after the soldiers in Xiliang controlled Chang'an, Zhang Liao looked back on it and felt more like the madness after suppression and the unswerving water after indulgence.
The big man has no psychologist.
Not only in the Han Dynasty, but even in many feudal dynasties, when most generals commanded the soldiers, in order to stimulate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and release their beastly nature, they would let these soldiers burn, kill and rob after a fierce battle...
The soldiers must fight, either you die or I die. If there is a national hatred, it would be fine. Yue Family Army or other feudal army is a minority. And there must be a national hatred and a family hatred in front of it. Just like when the Bingzhou Army was defending the north, as long as they yelled at the Hu people, not to mention the Bingzhou soldiers, even the old and young men in the north would come out with swords, guns, sticks and halberds as long as they could move.
Zhang Liao still remembers what the Xiliang army and Bingzhou army, who lost the basic goal of defending the country, became in Luoyang and Chang'an.
According to what the cavalry said, there is no faith.
They suffered blood and sweat in Longxi for the sake of the Han Dynasty and resisted the Hu people in the north, but what did they get?
It is a contemptuous name, a disgusting look, and a teaching from others as a counterexample. "Look, if you don't study hard, you will have to join the army in the future!"
Then, looking at the children of the gentry in the Han Dynasty, one by one, they could steal high positions without any effort, point fingers at them, drink, and throw out some dog food, making them fight like wild dogs to make fun of it.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo roared in anger in the court, Zhang Liao did not feel anything was wrong at that time.
That is the injustice that has been precipitated for a long time...
But at present, at least in Guanzhong, being a soldier is no longer a shame, but an honor. The soldiers have better treatment, not only their own military pay, but also bring blessings to the family. Before, the people were afraid of joining the army, but now they hope that their children can be selected.
I used to be afraid that my children would become unnecessary consumables, but now I send my children to the army with tears in my eyes and hope.
The more he understood these things, the more he was worried. He was worried that the early Bingzhou villagers in the Western Regions did not know the current changes in the Sanfu of Chang'an. He was also worried that Lu Bu's stubborn and stubborn personality was always self-righteous. He even worried that what he should do if the worst situation really happened one day...
Zhang Liao couldn't think of a good idea, he was even a little scared.
After all, many have changed now.
Everything was completely different from that time. Under such circumstances, if there was chaos in the Western Regions, it would be a loss.
Or simply put, you have lost your righteousness.
