sweeping the world

Chapter 442 Those who dare to hold a staff, beheaded!

The entire world is a cruel jungle. Hunting and being hunted have always been enduring, demonstrating the ecology of the survival of the strong and the weak.

Human beings are special primates with higher intelligence than animals, and their desires must be diverse and strong.Animals are hunted to obtain food. On the contrary, some of the behaviors of intelligent humans are inexplicable. First, groups are born, and then camps are formed, and the killing begins that will never stop.

Competition between races has always existed, accompanied by bloodshed between different camps, so inter-racial massacres have existed in the past and will continue to occur in the future. The reason why different races can live in peace is simply because they cannot deal with each other.

"Your Majesty, perhaps it can only be a stable occupation along the great river, and it is difficult to go northward." Ji Chang looked at the north bank of the Yellow River, where there are great rivers and mountains, and said: "The barbarians in the territory are bound to explode, and the front line is bound to be captured if the abdomen is unstable." Influence."

Several newly-occupied border counties have begun to be in chaos. For example, Lu Tai from Jizhou has sent letters back to the central government many times. The local tyrants have formed a collusion to continuously attack and destroy the back line of their army. Although it is military supplies It can be guaranteed, but the continuous harassment of the rear has really affected the frontline warfare.

Wang Ji's report to the center was relatively straightforward, stating that the chaos in the rear had caused instability in the army, and the center asked the center to decide to send new troops to stabilize the rear, otherwise the front line might suffer an unavoidable partial collapse.

The two important commanders in Jizhou both believed that the war situation was developing in an unstable direction, and the center had to seriously and seriously think about how to proceed.

The Han Dynasty had more than one battlefield like Jizhou. The most intense and large-scale war was along the Yellow River around Puyang County. Liu Yan should really think about whether he should shrink the front lines necessary to deal with internal troubles.

"Xie An's army has entered Ji County, and Ran Min's army has crossed the river and reached the north bank to gain a firm foothold." Liu Yan knew that some measures should be taken, and said: "First fish out Huan Wen's troops, and try our best to Eliminate more Shijie Zhao troops on the battlefield over there, and then come to solve internal problems."

The war in Liaodong is not over yet, but Liaodong is the least affected place.It was extremely desolate before, and there were no local powerful people. Most of the people there were people who Liu Yan had repeatedly migrated from the Central Plains. Neither Shijie Zhao State nor Murong Yan State had any room to make a fuss.

The situation in the Central Plains is very complicated. Qingzhou has been managed and sorted out for a long time, but it still hasn't fully cleaned up the local rich and powerful.This is a very real problem, and it is impossible for any class to be completely eliminated.

Fortunately for Liu Yan, he doesn't have to make too complicated judgments about people's hearts. Recently, he has repeatedly observed in detail the map in his mind that can identify friends and foes.

The situation in Qingzhou is very stable. The marks displayed are either green or white, and rarely red.This state was the birthplace of the Han State, and it was also the rear area that the Han State paid most attention to. Liu Yan immediately cleared it up more than once when he discovered hostility.

Xuzhou is also fully occupied. The closer it is to the south of the Yangtze River, the more complicated the display is. Of course, green accounts for the majority, white accounts for about [-]%, and red only accounts for about [-]%.Generally speaking, the situation in Xuzhou does not appear to be that bad.

Except for the two basic areas of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, the situation in other places was quite bad. Before Shi Hu called on the barbarians from all over the country to resist the Han Dynasty, there were a lot of red marks in those places. After Shi Hu took action, the original Some white marks turned red. If you could look at the map in Liu Yan's mind, it would not be an exaggeration to say "the country is so red".

It is not a joke at all, after decades of time and change, the Central Plains is really the Hu people who have the upper hand, and the absolute majority of those who can develop and have strength are the Hu people.

"The Hu people have been operating in the Central Plains for so long, how can they do it in vain?" Ji Chang clearly stated the facts: "They have various advantages, and the Jin people have to rely on them if they want to survive. Stronger. Isn’t it because we feel that we are afraid of the enemy, so we hope to use the power of victory to deal with them again after achieving a great victory over Shi Jie?”

Liu Yan understood this fact, and he knew that everything was not that simple.

In history, no matter what the reason was, Ran Min really called for the killing of Hu. After the outbreak, the Jin people directly killed Shijie from hundreds of thousands to less than [-]. But without Shijie, there were other Hu people, not only Xianbei, The Xiongnu, Qiang, Di and Zahu people were killed incessantly. Only then did the Hu Feng become serious in the Central Plains until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, worked hard all his life to make Han culture the mainstream, but he encountered the Li and Tang family to toss things around. There was still a ruthless Wu Zetian in the middle who came to the Wuzhou Empire. But later, the Li royal family came to power again and not only put themselves Tossing death and Hu Feng were not stopped until the Northern Song Dynasty.

"The widow thought that Shijie could be wiped out at once...but the situation is changing." Liu Yan adjusted his mood a little, and said with a little disappointment: "Let's do it according to Tai'an's opinion."

"Those who are too strong are easy to break, those who are kind and soft are unbeatable, those who are strong are easy to break, and the best is like water." Ji Chang actually read "Laozi"?He was still very relieved at the moment, and persuaded Liu Yan, who was a little disappointed: "Only those who are stable can build a country, and only those who know how to advance and retreat can be long-lasting. The ancients said that there is nothing outside of the mean."

Liu Yan actually doesn't like moderation, but he should know that running a country is not that simple, and he doesn't do everything according to his will. On the contrary, he should accept correct suggestions even if he doesn't like them.

In the next period of time, the Han army did not show a posture of dying down, but instead showed a posture of going northward regardless of what happened in the hinterland.

Because they did not want to cause a psychological burden on the front-line command, the decision of the center was not circulated. While the speed of conscription was accelerated, the newly recruited soldiers were still transferred along the Yellow River on the surface, but secretly moved to the counties and counties where the situation was most severe. So that on the surface everything seems normal.

While the officers and soldiers at all levels in the front were working hard, Sang Yu came to Chenliu County in Yuzhou. He saw Yuan Qiao for the first time and told some secrets that were not rumored.

"What!?" Yuan Qiao withdrew from the Shouchun front a month ago, and his servants and slaves were stationed on the Yongqiu and Xiangyi front lines.He looked shocked now and asked: "I'm afraid the defense is not stable???"

"Yes." Sang Yu Shaoyou said seriously: "Local chaos has broken out in the counties and counties ahead. We will absolutely not allow any chaos in the organized troops."

In the early days, there were 20 servants. After repeated consumption, the number was still [-] to [-]. They were mainly Qiang people, and the rest were miscellaneous Hus.

The source of the slave army is more complicated. It is the sweeping of local tycoons and tribes during the campaign, and there must be the surrendered Jin army.

"The current priority is to disarm the servants calmly and select a place for closed monitoring." Sang Yu repeatedly emphasized: "They must not be allowed to have the opportunity to contact the outside world!"

Yuan Qiao obeyed the order cautiously, and asked hesitantly, "Then... the slave army?"

"Selection." Sang Yu said directly without any extra words: "Compared to the Hu people, the Jin people have to fight for it. The Jin people have the same culture and race as us, so it is easier to absorb them. Perhaps this time they will have to be used to counter the rebellion. .”

Speaking of this, Yuan Qiao has already understood the seriousness of the situation.All his previous ease completely disappeared, and he even asked a question that should not have been asked with a trace of surprise: "Will it evolve into a full-scale vendetta between Hu and Han?"

"Maybe it will be more complicated." Sang Yu is a senior person and knows more about things. He said: "The Han Dynasty is actually not a pure country. It has absorbed many barbarians in the past. Some people have climbed to the top through their own efforts. There are actually quite a few middle-level and basic levels.”

The representative figure among them is Qian Jiantong, a Hun who is now a general of the Huben Army.There are also quite a few Hu people who joined Liu Yan's command in the early days, such as Su Lewan, who also became the sheriff of Beihai County.

"Your Majesty's opinion is that even if it is really a comprehensive racial vendetta, it must not be made explicit on the official surface." Sang Yu understands Liu Yan's concerns, and he also has his own views: "It is impossible to kill them all. No Killing doesn’t work, it can only be about differences between countries, and the differences between our enemies and ourselves cannot be purely racial differences.”

In an instant, Yuan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Yes, how can it be possible to kill them all? It is impossible to kill them all."

Sang Yu nodded with a smile, but in his heart he knew that was not the case. The superficial articles were just superficial articles. When it came to the real killing, it did not mean that he could control it. This time, he had to kill until there was a river of blood. If he was in Han Dynasty, Those in high positions also had changes, and cleaning was inevitable.

Shi Hu's mere agitation caused serious troubles to Han, and it was impossible to avoid it.The Han army did not stop moving northward, which led him to think that he was doing nothing, but in fact, Han was just bluffing.

"Um..." Yuan Qiaochi asked: "Is it necessary to arm those powerful people who are on our side so that they can help us fight the rebellion?"

"No!" Sang Yu refused neatly: "Learning from past mistakes! Permitted local armed forces are not allowed to appear. Any armed force can only be within the military organization."

A long time ago, similar topics were exchanged among high-level officials. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened a hole for the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army, allowing local armed forces to protect themselves. Even allowing local officials to recruit soldiers has evolved into a separatist regime.There is such a not-so-distant example in the past, and Liu Yan and the top management of the central government will only do it again if their brains are broken.

It is always said that ideals are full and reality is very skinny. Facts have proved that this statement is completely justified. Liu Yan was planning and preparing step by step, but the local report disrupted the steps.

"Hanoi and Henan counties really can't control it." Liu Yanyang read the latest report from Yang, and said to everyone in the account: "The barbarians are rampant, killing all non-barbarians who can be seen indiscriminately."

The occupation of Hanoi and Henan counties by the Han army took place within three months. Due to the evolution of the war situation, the local garrison had to leave. Only a small number of garrison troops stayed in the two counties.

The so-called non-Hu people should be called Jin people not long ago. After the Han army conquered it, they were included in the Han Dynasty's rule and became Han people again.The Han Dynasty must have taken more care of the groups who were transferred from the Jin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty. It was a comprehensive change from social status to living environment. The problem is that the newly recruited Han people cannot change their minds and hearts in a short period of time.

"It will spread soon." If Ji Chang, the Zuo Prime Minister, could cry, he would definitely cry. He said with a livid face: "The local garrison is insufficient in number. It can only protect the surrounding people and wipe out as many barbarians as possible. , but the situation seems to be out of control.”

The real number of Han Miao people in the Central Plains is really hard to say. Whether it was the former Zhao established by the Huns or the later Zhao established by the Jie people, the census has never been done.The only thing that is certain is that the number of Hu people has been increasing all the time, and the Hu people are still in a favorable social position, but the Han family and Miao descendants have always been an oppressed class, especially after Shijie became the ruling class. The oppression is more severe.

Of course, Liu Yan's complexion couldn't look any better, and his voice became louder involuntarily: "When will Chaoge be able to get out of the siege? Is it Ran Min who is procrastinating, or is there really nothing to do with Shijie!"

As a king, what Liu Yan said was already very serious. Ji Chang didn't like Ran Min very much, so he had to speak for Ran Min.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang said fairly and objectively: "General Wugan Zhonglang has tried his best to relieve Huan Wen's troops, but they are facing an enemy army numbering close to 45, and there are also a considerable number of Jie people. Elite.”

In addition to his headquarters, Ran Min also integrated Xie An's and Li Kuang's headquarters into the command system. The battlefield covered Jijun, Wei, Dunqiu, and Yangping counties. Huanwen's headquarters was surrounded by a large number of enemy troops. At the Chaoge battlefield, the main force of Ran Min's headquarters has been attacking Fangtou day and night. Xie An and Li Kuang are also doing their best to march towards Chaoge. The progress of the battle is actually not slow. The difference is the situation outside the battlefield. Because the barbarians from all over the place are violently appearing extremely bad.

"Hanoi County and Henan County are just the beginning, and the rest of the counties will inevitably form a trend of fire and water." Ji Chang gritted his teeth and suggested: "Your Majesty, let's take the lead first, not only the army, but also the local people are called to join hands. Come face this barbarian counterattack."

Liu Yan is still quite depressed and helpless, the situation has developed to this point, many things will become out of control once they have a beginning.

"The catastrophe has already begun, and there is no way to avoid it." Liu Yan was still standing, but sat down, his face fluctuating: "Issuing an edict: The six barbarians inside and outside, not our army, not Han, dare to hold a stick Those who kill it!"

I originally wanted to write two chapters, but this chapter took too long, and it was really difficult to write.
