Chapter 149: Heavy Snow Comes, Theory by the Fire (Tenth More)

However, as the saying goes, there are unexpected situations. Just as Yuan Xi was waiting for all the talents from Youzhou to come to Su County, the weather suddenly began to get colder sharply. After a few days, heavy snow fell like goose feathers. In one night, the vast earth changed into a set of snow-white clothes, which looked very beautiful, but Yuan Xi did not have the slightest pleasure of appreciation. Because of such weather, the plan of Juxian Pavilion could not be implemented at all.

"I have thought about everything, but I just forgot the weather." In the inner hall of the governor's mansion, Yuan Xi, Li Ru, Han Yan and Pang Tong were surrounding a stove to keep warm.

"It seems that I can only wait for the heavy snow to pass now." Han Yan, who was wearing a thick velvet jacket and was thin, licked his somewhat purple lips and said softly.

"Forget it, just wait until winter comes, and the weather is warming up, so as not to have another accident. Juxian Pavilion's plan must be sensational. With such weather, no one wants to dare to go far away." Yuan Xi frowned and announced softly.

Li Ru and the other two nodded, and Pang Tong said, "Young Master is talking very much, and you don't care about this little time."

"By the way, the weather is suddenly so cold, the soldiers are fine!" Yuan Xi said with concern

"Young Master, don't worry, all the winter clothes have been paid long ago, and you have specially paid a month's military pay. There should be no problem." Li Ru put his hands on the red flames and rubbed them back and forth.

"In the past few days, ancient times, Dai County, Yuyang, and western Liaoning all reported that heavy snow had fallen. The so-called auspicious snow showed a good harvest. This may be the case for other places, but it is a little different for our Youzhou." A trace of worry flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes.

"What the young master said is that foreign tribes are not good at farming and use animal husbandry as their staple food. Whenever a heavy snowfall passes, many cattle and sheep will die, resulting in a decrease in food, and then turmoil will occur. If they were themselves, it would be fine, but they were afraid that someone would be confused and come to Youzhou to be rude and take the initiative." Pang Tong said with a serious look.

Han Yan nodded in agreement, "It happened in the past few years, but it was just a few disobedient small tribes, and the Three Kings tribes had the Tadun Da Shanyu suppressed them, so they were pacified soon."

Hearing this, Li Ru shook his head slightly, "I think I should pay special attention this year, especially in western Liaoning and Shanggu. Recently, the Secret Pavilion has been receiving news that the son of Wuheng Shanyu of the previous period, the Lou team of the Three Kings' division has been constantly joining the union building recently. Su Puyan has been looking for trouble for the Tadun Da Shanyu and attempting to regain the position of Da Shanyu."

"He is just a fool, and the Tadun Da Shanyu is recognized by the Emperor and Yuan Gong. What is he?"

Han Yan said disdainfully, and a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes. Now Youzhou is not the Youzhou a year ago, but has surpassed Gongsun Zan's Youzhou. Gongsun Zan was extremely dissatisfied with Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and others because he killed the kind-hearted Liu Yu, and Yuan Xi was different. Since Yan Rou surrendered, his troops under his command have reached 110,000, and all of them are obeyed by Yuan Xi's orders. With just one word, they can be wiped out.

"I'm afraid that Tadun is good at considering old feelings and taking the initiative to give way. The building team is cruel and ambitious. He is so eager to regain the position of the Great Shanyu. It is probably because of power, and the other is because of my great man's civil unrest," Pang Tong sneered.

"Fleas are not scary, but they will be disgusting. And if there are too many fleas, it will probably be a big trouble. The young master's goal is the Central Plains in a few years. Recently, news came from Yangzhou that Yuan Shu actually went out of the city to meet the enemies Cao, Lu, and Sun, which led to a retreat. It is estimated that this cold winter can make him hold on for a while, but it won't last long. According to Ru's estimate, once Yuan Shu is destroyed, the battle in the Central Plains will inevitably break out in two or three years," Li Ru said seriously.

Yuan Xi nodded, a hint of ambition flashed in his eyes: "Time seems to be abundant, but it is actually very tight. Since we are talking about this, let's discuss the issues of foreign tribes such as Wuhuan. Now that Youzhou is pacified, the only thing that can be considered is foreign tribes and Liaodong Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du can be put aside for the time being, let's talk about foreign tribes first."

Han Yan immediately interfered: "The most important foreign tribe in Youzhou is Wuhuan, which can also be called Wuhuan. If the Han Han was strong, they were more honest than the Han people. However, now the Central Plains are in chaos and the Han court has declined, so they are a little bit jumping. They are mainly divided into these parts. The most important ones are the Tadun Grand Chanyu in western Liaoning, the Qiu Liju tribe, and the Lou Ban tribe. In addition, there are the Nanlou in Shanggu, Su Puyan in Xuantu County, Liaodong, and finally Wuyan in Youbeiping. These are all under the management of the Tadun Grand Chanyu. In fact, they are all in their own affairs, but they are just nominal obedience."

"As for the Wuhuan grassland, there are Xianbei, the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang tribe, and Fuyu area. However, in these three aspects, due to the distance and the obstruction of Wuhuan, we generally do not harm our Youzhou."

After Han Yan's introduction, Pang Tong said, "Things can be done step by step. You can completely stabilize the Wuhuan first. In solving other problems, there are three ways to get foreign tribes to return. One is to stabilize the status of the Shanyu. He still respects the young master very much, especially after Yan Rou surrendered, he immediately sent two thousand good horses. Second, he is strong himself, and once he changes, he will be completely afraid of him. However, this is not a long-term solution. Once I let go of the weak, maybe the foreign tribe will rekindle if there are heroes in the present. Third, take assimilation, move them all into the hinterland of the Central Plains, accept our culture, get used to our diet, and turn them all into Han people step by step, so that the problem can be fundamentally solved, but it is estimated that time will take a long time."

"The third method is not suitable for now. After the young master unifies the world, he can position the national policy and implement it. Now he can only use killing to establish his authority and give kindness with rewards. Once the Wuhuan poses a threat to our Youzhou, he must immediately destroy his army, destroy his troops, and create a great power. For those loyal young masters, he can give great rewards. Only by giving such kindness and power can they be respected from the bottom of their hearts. At present, Wuhuan has at least 50,000 elite cavalry. Not to mention taking all of these, as long as half of them will play a huge role in the future battle of the Central Plains and the stabilization of the four northern continents." Li Ru said with a cold look.

After listening to it, although Pang Tong and Han Yan felt that Li Ru's words had a strong smell of blood, they were foreigners after all, so they nodded in agreement.

"Then I will send another order to make all counties and military troops take precautions. Once heavy snow occurs, foreign invasions will occur and harm our people. No matter who it is, you must give a tough counterattack. You must not hesitate or retreat at all. Even if you break into the grassland, you will be willing to make special bets. Anyone who makes meritorious contributions in the war to defend the country will be rewarded with a strong reward," Yuan Xi ordered seriously.

"No!" Li Ru, Pang Tong and Han Yan immediately stood up respectfully and responded.
