1.5 Return to the old business
After listening to Xun You's oral narration, Song Jian was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses. Subconsciously lowered his head, looked at the order in his hand, and looked at Xun You who was bathed in spring breeze outside the prison. Then he believed it: "Zuo Cheng wants Song... to 'return to his old career'?"
"That's right." Xun Hexu smiled.
"The so-called 'old business'..." I couldn't help but hold the imperial order in my hand tightly, and Song Jian asked: "Yi Cong in Liangzhou, or is it a rebel in Jincheng?"
"Of course, it's a thief." Xun You smiled relaxed.
"If you are a thief again, why should you give Song a high position as the commander of the western capital of Jincheng?" Song Jian, who was extremely heavy in his heart, simply asked to the end.
"Oh." Xun You immediately realized: "This order is used as a 'token'. It must not be declared to everyone. When things are done, you should be open and upright and take the post immediately."
"So that's it." Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. As a token of rewards for merit, the imperial decree was obviously sincere enough. To put it bluntly, he would first grant the position of the commander of the western part of Jincheng to show sincerity and to calm his heart. He allowed Song Jian to worry about his worries and let go.
After thinking for a moment, Song Jian said again: "Please give me several people back to his wife and children. Otherwise, if Song goes there lightly, he will be suspected by the Qiang people."
Xun You smiled and said, "All the small families placed in Long County can be taken away together. There is no need to be kept as hostages."
"This..." Song Jian's gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you Zuocheng to fulfill it."
"There is no need to thank me, this is the lord's intention." Xun You told the truth.
"If you receive great kindness, you should repay it to death." Song Jian suddenly remembered something again: "The king is famous. The thirty-six Qiangqu were already scared before. Now the heroic pass has been broken, and it is even more like a dog that has lost its family. It is so anxious that it is too late to surrender. How can you follow me and rebel again?"
Xun You smiled profoundly: "Just need to die in the West Sea and secretly contact the various departments. In less than a few months, you will see the truth."
"In this way, I will take the order." Song Jian held his fists heavily. Xun You was the leader of Ji State and just obeyed the order. By the way, the Zuo Cheng asked him to flee to the West Sea to go to the place where the Qiang people gathered. The first thing he was Lin Qiang, and Song Jian was not unfamiliar with him.
Xun You reminded again: "You need to think of excuses, how to escape, and how to get home. Don't make Qiangqu suspicious."
Song Jian had already thought about it: "It is common sense that I will guard the Xiongguan and set up a secret escape passage. In order to prevent Han Sui from moving to my family, I have secretly taken my family out of Longxian and placed them separately. Just go back to meet, and both sides can be proved."
"That's great." Xun You smiled and said, "It's not advisable to leave tonight."
"Here!" Song Jian bowed again.
When he left the prison, Diao Linghun, who had been silent, finally asked: "I dare to ask Zuo Cheng why he asked him to take away all his family members. If there is no restraint, how can he know whether he really surrenders? If he has a two-minded heart and fights back, he will catch us off guard."
Xun You smiled and replied: "There is no such thing as the general trend."
Diao Linghun clasped his fists and said, "I hope the Zuo Cheng will give you advice."
"The Xiongguan was broken overnight, and the lord's reputation was added. Thirty-six Qiangqu surrendered without fighting, and the Xizhou could be settled every once in a while. When Song Jian fled, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang and held the power alone, he would know. Under the lord's reputation, the 100,000 coalition forces were divided into pieces, and he was left alone and could not support it, so he could not do anything. Moreover, the position of the Western Chief Commander was his dream, and he could not get it. How could the heroes of Song Jian's Xizhou not know about it?" Xun You replied: "This is the trend."
"I understand it in a humble way." Diao Linghun had his own understanding: "Looking at the current situation, the Western Commander is his best destination."
Xun You nodded slightly and turned to say, "Don't think that the lord plundered 100,000 tribes in the north just to take hostages and force you to submit. In fact, it is a big mistake. In You's opinion, the lord plundered 100,000 Qiang people in the north just to verify one thing."
"What's the matter?" Diao Linghun blurted out.
"Can the Qiang people integrate into our Han Han?" Xun You said in a word, "The lord often said that 'people go to high places and water flows to low places' is the nature of all things. The Qiang people continue to move eastwards, which is also due to nature. Just guide and continue to educate, and not exceed a hundred years, it will be no different from the Han people. If the lord said, 100,000 Qiang people were divided into ten cities of Ji, and within a few years it was almost the same as the people of Ji. Now it seems that the world is not far away."
"How to do it?" Diao Linghun couldn't help asking.
"The lord once said that if you want to transform into a Qiang people, you need to promote a tribe to a town and release slaves to Qi people." Xun You smiled and replied: "It is useless to say more, let's wait and see."
"Here."
The one who knows the best of King Ji is Jia Xu who has lived with him day and night in Luoyang. When discussing "The Letters of Pingqiang", Liu Bei made amazing words from time to time, which opened his eyes. Ji State is Liu Bei's experimental field. The national policy that has been successful in the Hu people and barbarians should be promoted to the Qiang people.
Liu Bei knew very well that he would talk about the world before the great harmony. He would be the first to be the most important thing and have a full meal first. This is the bottom line of everything. Listening to the Book of Filial Piety on an empty stomach is not to put the cart before the horse?
However, the Qiang people defended themselves because of their own risk, and the tribes were hidden in the deep mountains and valleys. They were all dangerous places and were not suitable for farming. If you want to have enough food, moving out was the only way. Once the Qiang tribes were moved out of the deep mountains and forests, they would inevitably live with the Han and Hu. How to resolve conflicts and eliminate vigilance was far more than Liu Bei.
The "wife-loving system" that greatly restricts normal population movement and greatly restricts productivity must also be completely eradicated with thunder.
This move will inevitably trigger resistance from the Qiang people. For example, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, who spread the teachings of Taiping without authorization and angered the thirty-six Qiang Qu. As the core of the Qiang clan structure, the "wives-free system" should not be easily touched. If Liu Bei insisted on his own, he would definitely be rebounded.
At that time, Song Jian's role will be highlighted.
This is the Wushuang chain, the fourth ring: "Transfer flowers and connect wood, Feng Xi's three caves".
Xun You's strategy, which was praised by Liu Bei and was not inferior to Jia Wenhe, was later famous for Prime Minister Zhuge: "If you want to win, you will be able to take me, and if you want to get me, you will be able to take me first."
In this way, "the right and strange are in harmony, and the kindness and power are in harmony."
Given the limitations of the tribal era in which the Qiang people lived, it is not easy to fall into the trap.
No wonder even if the planner is a person who makes plans, Jia Xu also wants to hide his weaknesses. This strategy is really amazing. The so-called "can be either one or two or two" cannot be three. This strategy was used, and the enemy was hit by the plan one after another without reducing its power. If you savor it carefully, you will be really unpredictable.
Whenever I think about it, from the generals of Dong Zhuo to Zhuo’s death, Li Jue, Guo Si, Guo, Li and others were defeated and turned into Zhang Xiu’s mastermind, and finally Meng De. Jia Wenhe buried his claws in his life and ended up in a good life. It is not known whether he could show 50% of what he learned throughout his life. And under Liu Bei, the world finally realized that Jia Wenhe was perfect.
It is truly a blessing for the country and a blessing for Liu Bei. It is a great misfortune for the small people in the world.
And Liu Bei could also vaguely understand why he was "his close friends and others were afraid of him."
The so-called wisdom is close to monsters. What is a "monster"? It is a higher existence that cannot be reached by humans and cannot match.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Standing on the city tower, watching Song Jian go down the mountain alone. Liu Bei said, "When the Western Regions coalition forces seized Jincheng, they will launch several troops to restore Longyou."
