Chapter 404 Unification of the world

The news of the pacification of the northwest was probably conveyed before the beginning of winter. Huangfu Song's battle to avenge his shame was not restricted or informed by villains. He fought steadily, and Dong Zhuo's remaining troops could only retreat little by little.

Before the beginning of winter, Huangfu Song captured Jincheng County with the cooperation of Ma Teng. Han Sui was defeated and died, and Liangzhou was basically pacified. It was said that it was basic because Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang entered the Qiang land under the escort of Li Ru when Liangzhou was about to be unified.

In the vast grassland, unless you can know his exact location, it is not easy to chase him. Besides, winter is coming.

Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min fought to the end, Niu Fu was defeated, Fan Chou and Xu Rong were killed, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were captured. Li Jue and Guo Si were the most cunning, and they fought back at the critical moment and took the initiative to surrender to the court. This was also the reason why the battle was so smooth.

A few generals, such as Cui Yong, Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen, Zhou Wei, Wu Qiong and Li Su, left with Li Ru and Dong Huang.

Han Sui was executed and Yan Xing was captured. His resistance was not strong. Although it was a relationship between a father-in-law and son-in-law, it was Han Sui's method to keep him. Yan Xing actually did not agree with Han Sui. After Huangfu Song came forward to recruit him, Yan Xing took the initiative to surrender.

As for Han Sui's eight powerful generals, some were killed in battle, some were captured, and a few of them were beaten by Ma Teng.

After the war situation in the northwest ended, Ma Teng took the initiative to give up his status as the prefect of Longxi and was incorporated into Huangfu Song's command. As for the position of the prefect, the county magistrate Liang Xi was temporarily acting.

"It seems that all the goals for this year have been completed..." Zhang Yu put down the battle report in his hand and breathed a little relieved. The situation was not perfect, but it was already the best result.

It was also a coincidence that Bingzhou had just sent a good news three days ago. Zhang Ben successfully invaded Bingzhou, captured Taiyuan County, and killed the high-ranking officials of the pseudo-Bingzhou governor. Bingzhou returned to the Han Dynasty.

It is said that it is because Xihe County and Shang County are still under the control of the Southern Xiongnu. Of course, there was originally a place where the Southern Xiongnu could rest and recuperate.

In addition, there are Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County and Yanmen County, currently under the control of the Western Xianbei. However, Qiu Liju's main enemy is Tadun, and he did not want to be enemies with the Han court, so he fought on both sides.

Simply put, it is possible to negotiate. Through negotiation methods, he was allowed to take the initiative to give up the three counties. Of course, some officials also believed that even if they were not allowed, it would be fine. The three counties were originally military towns, and basically had no people to live in, and Hu and Han lived in a mixed place. Even if they were not taken back, it would have no effect... Of course, this proposal was immediately rejected by Zhang Yu.

Even if the territory of China is only one inch, it cannot be lost. Zhang Yu directly expressed his basic requirements for the Han Dynasty in front of the ministers: not to cede land, not to pay compensation, and not to marry!

If it weren't for the shocking world, I would have said even the saying "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country."

Even so, it shocked the ministers. On the contrary, Liu Bian was full of energy when he heard the compensation. Not to mention the compensation, the Southern Xiongnu could recuperate in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Although it was a surrender, it still had the meaning of ceding the land. Not to mention the marriage, the Han royal family had married the Xiongnu from the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty. Now the Hun nobles probably have the bloodline of the Han royal family.

He was the son of Yu Fuluo later, also known as Liu Bao. His son Liu Yuan even established the Zhao Han regime. If you want to say that this is a Hu regime, why do they really have the royal blood of the Han Dynasty...

So what is a nation, custom or blood, or even nationality? Of course not! A nation should come from the soul and consciousness, take the nation as its conscious, and take the nation as its responsibility to safeguard the interests of the nation as its responsibility. This is the nation!

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was also getting along with the Hu people. The excuse given by officials was that the former Han Dynasty all followed this policy, so if we inherit the orthodox tradition of the former Han Dynasty, we will naturally continue this policy.

For thousands of years, the "ancestor's family law" has been turned into a collar wrapped around the neck of the royal family by these powerful people. As long as the royal family has any ideas of reform, they will immediately jump out and use "filial piety" and "ancestor's family law". If they refuse, they will be foolish. They will first make their reputation bad, and then everyone will resist together. If they are disobedient, they will be "helping evil for abuse."

The problem is now in the court, but no one dares to oppose Zhang Yu like this. The benefits of a one-man sect are here, and the disadvantages are also obvious. The decision-making power of the entire country is placing on one person, and his choice is right, so any policy can be implemented quickly. On the contrary, if the decision is made wrong, there may not even be room for modification. After all, no one will tell that person, "You are wrong."

Perhaps someone can do that. Zhang Yu looked at Cao Cao. He is currently playing such a role. As long as he insists on doing things, he can't really stop him.

If the wrong front of the car continues to move in the wrong direction, then only if the front of the car is damaged or the front of the car is old and retired, can you stop and think about where to go next.

Zhang Yu is just the prime minister, and he at least has the possibility of retirement. If an emperor like Liu Bian, it is normal that he will only be considered retirement at the moment of his death.

However, this may be written into the Constitution a little later. Otherwise, if Liu Bian can live to be at least 60 or 70 years old, the eldest son of the emperor will be at least 50 years old and will still be the crown prince... If Liu Bian accidentally lives for a hundred years, the successor may not be the crown prince, but the eldest grandson of the emperor. At that time, just don’t make a scene about Jingnan again.

Helplessly, many things seem to have happened in history, but history keeps repeating again and again. One or two emperors and literati and poets shouted "to learn from history", but few of them can really do it.

That's right, the question has changed, everyone knows 1+23, but the result is 2+1? I'm confused!

"My dear friends, no matter what..." Liu Bian's mood finally improved slightly at the dynasty meeting. "The Han Dynasty, which fell apart, was finally over, and now the Thirteen Prefectures have returned to the control of the court again!"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your life, long live your life!" The ministers congratulated one after another.

"It's just as the Prime Minister said, our battle has only begun now. After ten years of turmoil, the people's livelihood in the Thirteen Prefectures have withered, and a large number of people have no place to live and cannot eat. How to resettle them, how to calm them down, and how to restore the people's livelihood in the Thirteen Prefectures is what we need to be busy next!" Liu Bian looked at the ministers.

"I'm ready at all times!" The ministers replied one after another, or they had already done psychological construction.

"But before this, rewards cannot be avoided in terms of merit. We can't let our soldiers shed tears after bleeding on the front line!" Liu Bian changed his tone, "not to mention the pensions of the fallen soldiers, this must be well supervised and there must be no mistakes!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Yu took the list, "I plan to build a martyr's monument in Nangong or Beimang Mountain. We should record any soldiers and generals who shed blood and sweat for the unified Han Dynasty in the form of relief and inscriptions, so that future generations can understand that everything today was obtained by them who sacrificed their lives and sacrificed countless people!"

"Authentication!" Liu Bian approved it immediately without even thinking about it. After all, this matter is beneficial to the Han Dynasty. Of course, there may be people who complain that it consumes people's financial resources and is useless to the country... After all, there are all eras of judging.
