Chapter 384 Looking for the descendants of Princess Jieyou
The good news spread to Chang'an City.
"The Wusun victory captured more than 20,000 people and more than 237,000 livestock..."
The spoils of war are abundant. After all, the Han Dynasty only sent 20,000 troops, and hundreds of casualties were killed or injured. Compared with the gains, this loss can be ignored.
The first thing that comes to mind is the ordinary people on Chang'an Street.
The so-called struggles are heard in places where there are people, because human genes are buried with the desire to conquer, and they show their strength and overwhelm others. What's more, the Han Dynasty has been praised for its central civilization since the Xia and Shang dynasties, and the surrounding areas are barbarians, and barbarians must surrender to the central civilization. If there is any disrespect, it is a serious crime.
Every conquest of the surrounding barbarians actually makes the Han people sincerely proud.
Liu Yu wiped out the princes, unified the world, and ended the troubled times, and the Han people regarded Liu Yu as the sage king. When Liu Yu wiped out many barbarians around him, such as Qiang, Di, Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Goguryeo, Xianbei, etc., every time he won, the Han people became more convinced of Liu Yu, the emperor.
The cohesion of the entire Han Dynasty was unprecedented in two or three hundred years. Liu Yu's words were as destined as the will of the Han people. No one dared to refuse to obey. Liu Yu's imperial authority was several times stronger than Emperor Guangwu of Han more than two hundred years ago. After all, Liu Yu's martial arts was not only far superior to Emperor Guangwu of Han, but he was not as much restricted as Emperor Guangwu of Han. No matter in the previous dynasty and harem, Liu Yu could completely decide in one sentence. No one dared or had the ability to pinch Liu Yu.
Weiyang Palace, at the grand dynasty meeting.
Liu Yu first praised the achievements of the Duke of Protecting the Kingdom, and then decided to settle the trophy such as Wusun prisoners and the more than 200,000 cattle, sheep, and horses.
Naturally, all the Wusun prisoners were sent to Hebei area and participated in the excavation of the Grand Canal. More than 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses were sent directly to the southern desert to grazing on the grasslands in northern desert, and at the same time, some of the consumption of creating eight counties was provided.
After deciding on some things, Liu Yu suddenly said: "I want to find the descendants of Princess Jieyou back then. You can plan this matter, I only need the result!"
All the civil and military officials looked at each other, and the descendants of Princess Jieyou? Princess Jieyou was all from the Western Han Dynasty. After more than two hundred years, what did Your Majesty suddenly want to find her descendants?
However, Liu Yu did not explain too much to the civil and military officials now. He waved his hand and signaled that the eunuch could announce his retreat. Liu Yu stood up and left the dynasty meeting.
After the Weiyang Palace, the civil and military officials were confused. As the first person surrounded Guo Jia, more than twenty civil and military officials soon surrounded Guo Jia. A little further away, there were other civil and military officials who did not surround him, but they all stopped and waited to hear some results.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly look for the descendants of Princess Jieyou back then? More than two hundred years have passed. Who knows whether Princess Jieyou has descendants since the beginning? Besides, how can you find the world so big, this is a big problem!" An old minister who also has great prestige asked first.
Others also asked in a verbal way.
The most important thing is that they don’t understand what the meaning of this is. His Majesty retired without a detailed explanation. They cannot chase his Majesty’s bedroom and ask His Majesty. The best way is naturally to ask Guo Jia, the Marquis of Yingchuan.
Guo Jia, the Marquis of Yingchuan, was not only His Majesty's sworn brother, but he followed His Majesty to conquer the country since His Majesty was still in Shangyong. He made outstanding achievements and was resourceful. After His Majesty became emperor, he was also one of the important officials of the cabinet. Whenever His Majesty planned major events, the first person to discuss was Guo Jia. No one in the world could compare with Guo Jia.
Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile, feeling tired. All the civil and military officials in the court thought that he was good at understanding His Majesty’s thoughts. If you don’t understand anything, come and ask him. If you don’t explain it to them, you can block him until dark. You can explain it to them. Once or twice, you will develop their habits.
It seems that he is His Majesty's sworn brother, and he has some merits and has been awarded the title of first-class Marquis of Yingchuan. However, the monarch and ministers are the monarch and ministers. After all, the monarch and ministers are the monarch and ministers. Even if they are biological fathers and sons, they must be divided into monarch and ministers. To accompany the monarch is like accompanying the tiger. If you think about the emperor, you will understand it yourself and know it is okay. It is you who are smart. But once you explain it to others every time, over time and over again, the father and son will have a grudge. These cheating people have been cheating him to death.
If Guo Jia is indeed resourceful and has a narrow-minded study, when it comes to thinking about people's hearts, even Zhuge Liang is far inferior to Guo Jia in this world. Of course, he knew why Liu Yu wanted to find the descendants of Princess Jieyou at the dynasty meeting.
It was just to completely annex Wusun and truly incorporate Wusun into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The biggest reason why the troops were sent out this time did not directly attack Wusun was that it was difficult to rule.
Wusun had a population of about 300,000. According to the practice of the Western Regions and nomadic people, the whole people were soldiers. Therefore, as many strong men were basically soldiers. Wusun had about 60,000 soldiers. To destroy Wusun, we must first wipe out about 60,000 soldiers. At that time, the excuse of directly destroying Wusun's country was far-fetched. In addition, all the remaining Wusun people had husbands, sons, and brothers died at the hands of the Han Dynasty. They would definitely resist the rule of the Han Dynasty and even hated the Han Dynasty crazy.
At that time, if the Han Dynasty wanted to rule Wusun, it could only station heavy troops and consumed huge energy to suppress it for a long time. However, the Han Dynasty's energy is basically in the south of the desert. On the northern desert grassland, eight counties on the grassland need to be built first. Before that, there was no huge energy was wasted on Wusun. After all, compared with Wusun, the vast grasslands in the northern desert, and the northern desert, it is much more important.
In this case, a perfect plan is naturally needed to pave the way to completely annex Wusun, and the descendants of Princess Jieyou are the key.
In the past, Princess Jieyou married Wusun to the King of Wusun and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty's joint Wusun attack on the Huns. When she was old, she missed the hometown of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Xuan of Han allowed her, she brought three of her grandchildren back to the Han Dynasty. After Princess Jieyou's death, these three grandchildren did not return to Wusun again, but remained in the Han Dynasty, started a family and gave birth to many children.
Theoretically, Princess Jieyou's descendants are actually the blood of the Wusun royal family.
Wait for the discovery of Princess Jieyou's descendants.
At that time, this time, we punished Wusun, destroyed about 30,000 Wusun soldiers and severely injured Wusun. Next time, we found an excuse and attacked Wusun in the name of punishment, destroyed about 30,000 Wusun soldiers, and directly captured Chigu City, but still nominally did not destroy Wusun, but helped Princess Jieyou to become the new Wusun king.
In that case, the hatred of the Wusun people was much smaller than that of the Han Dynasty who directly destroyed the Wusun country.
There was a new king, and this new king was the descendant of Princess Jieyou. He was a new king under the support of the Han Dynasty. Wusun was only a nominal immortal country. In fact, it was under the control of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty could control Wusun without wasting too much energy. At that time, it would take a few years to buffer. The hatred of the Wusun people fades and initially become sinicized. The Han Dynasty also freed up its energy from the southern and northern Mo grasslands, and then it was much easier to completely annex Wusun.
Guo Jia glanced at the surroundings and was almost airtight. There were many civil and military officials on the outside who stopped to look at it, knowing that he might not say a word. This group of people could really block him until dark today.
Forget it, it’s not a big deal, and this is the last time. After today, if he has been so tired in the past few years, he will not go on with his life.
Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty is looking for descendants of Princess Jieyou, but in fact he wants to completely solve the problem of Wusun. Even if you don't block me and force me to ask questions today, when you find the descendants of Princess Jieyou, Your Majesty will explain in detail to you, that's it."
After saying that, Guo Jia got out of the crowd and slipped away without looking back.
The civil and military officials had just realized it and wanted to ask more clearly, but they saw that Guo Jia had already escaped.
