Liu Xin comes from later generations. The change of the overlord on the grassland is the clearest. From the Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Later Xianbei. Then to the Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. As well as the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia after the Song Dynasty. The nomadic tribes on these grasslands have all gone through a process from weak to strong and then weak. But it was always a sharp sword hanging on the head of the Han. Even entered the Central Plains several times.
Cover its reasons. All this grassland is too vast. It is impossible for any force to wipe out all these nomadic tribes. When a more powerful nomadic people was hit hard. The vast grasslands gave other nomads room to grow and develop. Then gradually replaced the original nomads. Become the new overlord on the grassland. And these nomads have been living in harsh environments for a long time. They are all born fighters. In the era of cold weapons. These ethnic groups who grew up on horseback faced the Han nationality. There will always be a natural advantage.
Blindly suppressing the nomads on these grasslands is often counterproductive. The big golden empire established by the Jurchens in history. The Mongolian tribes on the grasslands once implemented a three-year "reduction of taxes" policy. The Golden Cavalry will kill any adult Mongolian men they encounter on the grasslands at will. Want to eliminate the threat from Mongolian tribes through this cruel policy. result. The Daikin Empire was eventually destroyed by Mongolia.
After Liu Xin came to this world. I have been thinking about how to eliminate the threat from the nomads in the steppe. He summed up three principles. One is that they must maintain a strong military force. Every foreign invasion in history. All happened when the Han court was weakening day by day. Those nomads will have the opportunity to take advantage of it. The second is to lure those nomads with certain benefits. Liu Xin is convinced. There are only eternal interests in the world. There are no permanent enemies. Just try to keep the interests of those nomads in line with the Han people. All problems will be solved. The third is to spread Han culture to these nomads. Sinicize them. Carry out a cultural invasion. This fundamentally shakes the foundation of these nomads' hostility to the Han people.
Seeing Ju Sui's face was puzzled. Liu Xin smiled and asked: "Gongyou. If you see it, the Xiongnu will really be wiped out. To whom is this grassland to be given to. It is impossible to move the people of the big man onto the grassland."
Ju awarded a moment. He just wanted to destroy the Xiongnu. I really haven't considered what the situation will be like after the Xiongnu is eliminated.
Liu Xin continued: "Even if we completely eliminate the Xiongnu. We can't occupy this grassland. Because we Han people are accustomed to farming. We don't adapt to this nomadic life of chasing water and grass. At that time, this grassland can only be used. Occupied by the Xianbei in the east. Even the northern Huns who have migrated away may make a comeback. At that time, there will be another powerful enemy in our north."
Jushou is a smart man. Listen to what Liu Xin said. Suddenly, he said: "Is the subordinates dull. Or the lord has a far-sighted view. Indeed, we should support the Huns against other grassland tribes."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "No. I intend to support these Huns not to rely on them to fight against the nomads such as Xianbei. I want them to herd horses and sheep for us with peace of mind. The real fight against the nomads can only be ourselves. Yes. Our elite cavalrymen. In the future, I will turn this grassland into an important training ground for our great cavalrymen."
Although Liu Xin is very confident in his plan. He believes that as long as it can be implemented. The Huns will never become a threat to the big man again. but. These nomads live on horseback all year round. Good at riding and shooting. Most of them are sturdy and unruly. It is inevitable that there will be trouble at some point. and so. Liu Xin will not rely on their force. in contrast. He wants to train a cavalry strong enough to deter all nomadic tribes. Only squeezed the barrel of the gun. The regime will be stable. Historical experience proves. This is an unbreakable truth.
The battle that swept across the grasslands. Ling Jushou is now full of confidence in the Han cavalry. Hehe smiled and said: "If it is what the lord wishes. The Xiongnu will be completely naturalized to my big man. My big Han cavalry can bypass the vast desert. Directly hit Yuan Shao's back road."
For the idea of judging. Liu Xin was surprised. Although he is from later generations. Have a more detailed understanding of the Three Kingdoms era. but. It is precisely because he knows the history of this period too well. Therefore, his thinking has always been constrained by his inherent thinking. Never considered using this prairie. Formed a two-sided attack on Yuan Shao. On the contrary, it is depressed. Without the influence of these inherent ideas. At this time, I thought of Liu Xin's front.
Liu Xin couldn't help turning his head to look at the whole picture of the Han area behind him. Send troops from Xiliang. Pass through large grasslands controlled by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng. You can indeed reach Youzhou and Bingzhou. It can be counted as Yuan Shao's rear area.
but. It is really necessary to reach the goal of pinching Yuan Shao through this road. First of all, we must be able to truly control this grassland. otherwise. In the absence of supplies. Mobilize a large army to march in the unfamiliar desert. It is a very risky thing. Liu Xin is not afraid of taking risks. But the cavalry is the foundation of his conquest. He would not let the cavalry make fearless sacrifices.
Liu Xin's eyes fixed on the huge map. To control the entire grassland. The first step is to firmly control the Huns. As he said to Jushou earlier. The living conditions on the grasslands are very harsh. It is not suitable for Han people to live in. and so. This grassland can only be left to the Huns.
suddenly. Liu Xin exclaimed: "No. Hu Chuquan is going this time. I am afraid it will be dangerous. You must prepare quickly. You must not let Hu Chuquan's plan fail. And try to ensure that the Xiongnu can't mess up. "
original. Liu Xin was unsuccessful with Hu Chuquan. Not very concerned. His purpose is only to control this grassland. Hu Chuquan is also good for success. It doesn't matter if you fail. The Huns are always going to be chaotic. As long as the Huns are in chaos. The strength of the Huns will be greatly weakened. He applied further pressure. Those Xiongnu tribes had only plans according to his envisioned. Obediently become the people of the big man. Even if he succeeded.
but. Liu Xin's goal is to dominate the world. Sooner or later, I will decide the outcome with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Jushou’s proposal is very worthy of his serious consideration. Thus. The nomadic grassland of the Huns is particularly important. It will serve as a springboard to soak into the Xianbei grassland. but. The Huns today have been severely weakened. In the event of a large-scale civil unrest again. All the Huns' tribes may fail. If that's the case. He needs to spend a long time to restore the vitality of the Xiongnu. otherwise. Not only can it not provide sufficient logistical support for the army's expedition to Xianbei. It also needs to station a strong army for many years. To protect them from the threat of Xianbei invasion. after all. As long as they are completely merged into the big man. They are even the people of the big man. Liu Xin has the responsibility to protect their safety.
Jushou quickly understood what Liu Xin was worried about. He smiled and said: "The lord is worried. According to the design of Hu Chuquan and the others. The chances of winning are quite large. It should be easy to win Yufro. How can it be dangerous. However. To prevent the Huns from civil strife. It's difficult."
Hu Chuquan's plan is to contact more tribes first. In particular, some smaller tribes were merged into the tribes of Chiwule and Gutuan. After these tribes were merged into the Great Han. There will be great concessions in the trade of salt, iron and cloth. Just rely on this. It is possible for these tribes to stand firmly with Hu Chuquan on the issue of dealing with Yuvro. This is also an important reason why Liu Xin suggested that the three of them should determine the tribe that surrendered first. So that they can quickly unite a certain force to fight against Yuvro. Not only that. This time, Hu Chuquan and the others brought back a lot of tea. I believe those tribal leaders have tasted the taste of milk tea. Will definitely be overwhelmed. They will stand more firmly on Hu Chuquan's side.
After getting the support of some important tribes. Hu Chuquan planned to force the palace against Yuvro. A gathering of the leaders of the Huns was held. Directly stated Liu Xin's requirements and conditions at the party. I believe that after seeing the revenge of the Han army in winter. No Huns tribe can still revolt. By the time. If Yuvro still disagrees to merge into the big man. Be an obedient citizen of a big man. Hu Chuquan can speak straight. Yuvro was just for the fictitious name of his own title. And disregard everyone's interests. It will even put everyone in a desperate situation. Thus. The leaders of the various tribes will surely come together to attack.
The Xiongnu's Shan was then jointly promoted by all ministries. This happened. Yufro, the Xiongnu Shanyu, would not be able to continue. There is no obstacle to the tribes wanting to merge into the big man.
In Jushou's view. Although Hu Chuquan's plan is not perfect. But also quite satisfactory. Just go on step by step. It can be successful. As for whether it can prevent the Huns from civil unrest. This is difficult to say. Just now. Ju Shou really hoped that there would be civil strife in the Huns. Further weaken the strength. Now listen to what Liu Xin said. Think carefully. He felt that Hu Chuquan's plan was very good. It is more likely that civil unrest will not occur.
Liu Xin looked solemn. Raised the letter in his hand. Shen Sheng said: "Hu Chuquan missed someone. Not only he himself will be in danger. It is also likely to cause a civil war among the Huns."
Jushou accepted the letter in Liu Xin's hand. I quickly watched it again. Shook his head. Said: "Go back to the lord. The subordinates are dull. I can't see who he missed."
Liu Xin gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "Liu Leopard."
"Liu Bao." Ju Shuo said in surprise. "He is the defeated general of the lord. One hundred thousand cavalry was damaged in a battle in Guanzhong. It was him who greatly injured the vitality of the Xiongnu. According to the news from the Phantom, he managed to escape back to the grassland. The civil war between Duhou and Hou. Now it has already wiped out the prestige. What big waves can he make."
