Liu Bei was not all the parties involved who were so speechless. It is conceivable that Gai Xun, as a party involved, was speechless, collapsed, and wanted to kill himself when he heard this strategy.
I can't lead you, I really can't lead you. No matter how awesome I am, I can't lead a pig teammate of this level!
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
What's more, these Qiang people are not god-like opponents at all. Their teammates are really pigs.
He tried his best to dissuade Song Xiao from doing such stupid things.
But Song Xiao was stubborn and insisted on using a "benevolent" method to solve the Liangzhou rebellion in order to achieve the most cost-effective effect.
You see, we people in the Central Plains have studied the "Book of Filial Piety", so if we understand the meaning of filial piety, we will not cause rebellion. We use ourselves to save others. As long as the rebels also learn the "Book of Filial Piety", they will naturally not cause rebellion.
Isn’t the rebellion over?
Do you need troops?
Gai Xun almost died on the spot after hearing this. He tried his best to analyze the situation for Song Xiao and tried to make Song Xiao understand the simple common sense that most Qiang people could not read Chinese characters.
But Song Xiao also has his own opinion.
The Han-Qiang war has been going on for more than a hundred years, and money has been spent like water. Even Guandong was impoverished, and the emperor was beaten so hard that he almost lost his pants. Rebellions in Liangzhou still broke out from time to time. It has been more than a hundred years, but have they changed?
Every Liangzhou governor says he can solve Liangzhou’s problems. But what’s the result?
Changing the soup does not change the medicine.
You say Liangzhou Sanming can fight, but won’t it still be a mess in the end? Don’t we still have to wipe our ass as scholars?
Can those brave warriors take charge of the overall situation?
A person like Duan Jue who flatters eunuchs can become a Taiwei, can he do it?
no! You don’t have the ability to know!
The outcome of the Han-Qiang War fully proves that military means cannot solve the rebellion, and there are limits to military means in dealing with the rebellion.
so--
I gave up using the military!
I want to hold high the two banners of "benevolence" and "filial piety" and use my spirit and will to influence the rebels!
Song Xiao realized his own logical closed loop.
Gai Xun was helpless, and he couldn't just watch this old guy do such a ridiculous and generous thing, otherwise his own life might be at risk.
Gai Xun could only write to the court and tell this old guy to get out of here and replace him with someone more reliable.
Sure enough, when the news reached the court, even the recommender Yang Ci was shocked.
Can Xiaojing solve the rebellion?
What kind of magical realist counter-insurgency strategy is this?
Song Xiao clearly didn't tell him this before he set off, so why did he act stupidly when he arrived in Liangzhou?
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty ridiculed Yang Ci for his "knowledge of people". Yuan Wei took the lead in ridiculing, followed closely by Fu Qian, Ma Rixi and others. Yang Ci was so ashamed that his old illness relapsed and he became ill and bedridden again. Went on leave.
After a good turnaround, it turned into a tortoise, and the Jinwen school had no hope.
Seeing that the situation in Liangzhou was uncontrollable, Liu Hong was a little wiser and immediately appointed Yang Yong recommended by Yuan Wei to take over as the governor of Liangzhou.
This time, a reliable person has arrived.
Yang Yong is a practical person and can do something, but after a lot of troubles, the Luoyang court has fallen far behind in terms of time.
They wasted their time.
While the Luoyang court continued to struggle, the Liangzhou rebels continued to recruit powerful Qiang and Han people from all over the country to join the team, and their strength continued to grow. Finally, at the end of the first year of Zhongping, they severely defeated the new Qiang guard and veteran general Xia Yu.
Yang Yong quickly sent Gai Xun to lead the army to support him.
However, Gai Xun encountered a rebel interception team in Hupan. He tried his best and fought desperately. In the end, the entire army was annihilated and he was captured after fighting hard.
If he had not always been kind and prestige to the Qiang people, and the Qiang people were unwilling to harm him, they would probably have left him there.
Finally, a leader of the Qiang people was grateful for Gai Xun's kindness and released him. After Gai Xun returned to Ji County, Yang Yong knew that Gai Xun had tried his best. Thinking of his loyalty and bravery, he recommended him as the governor of Hanyang County. , so that he could be promoted to an official position.
But this has no other meaning except to appease Gai Xun's broken heart.
Gai Xun had tried his best, but the Liangzhou army also suffered heavy losses.
Yang Yong finally realized that the rebels had grown so powerful that they could not be completely eliminated by the local army in Liangzhou. He could only ask the Luoyang court for help and explain the current situation here.
At the same time, he also warned the court that Liangzhou could not stop the rebels from moving further east, and the land of Sanfu might be in danger at any time.
Liu Bei just watched helplessly as a situation that could have been controlled turned into an uncontrollable abyss step by step due to the tossing of a group of smart people.
He finally understood why at the end of the dynasty, the high officials in the court always made stupid decisions that even teenagers could understand, and pushed themselves to the grave.
Liu Hong seemed to realize that he had made a mistake. After receiving Yang Yong's warning, he seemed to feel a little sorry for Liu Bei and sent someone to send some rewards to Liu Bei.
But this was of no use. Liu Hong and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still did not come to the conclusion to send troops to Liangzhou.
The century-old Han-Qiang war made Liangzhou an official sensitive word for the entire Luoyang court. Whenever it was mentioned, everyone felt uncomfortable.
It is impossible to send troops into Liangzhou, at least not now, without the money.
Maybe there is money, but no one is willing to invest huge military expenditures in that bitter cold place again.
We can only send some capable people to Liangzhou to help the scene and let the people of Liangzhou work hard to solve their own problems.
All in all, the rebels are absolutely not allowed to enter the land of Sanfu, otherwise, Yang Yong can come to see him.
God knows how desperate Yang Yong felt when he got the imperial order. Anyway, Liu Bei felt desperate for him even in Luoyang.
The harsh winter prevented the rebels from further expanding their power. When a heavy snow fell, many of the rebels froze to death and had to retreat to their home base in Jincheng County to recuperate. Liangzhou officials also breathed a sigh of relief.
But Yang Yong knew very well that the situation was no longer under his control.
The Qiang-protecting captain Xia Yu and the local Gai Xun were defeated one after another. The local forces in Liangzhou that were aligned with the central government had been defeated. A large number of locals and Qiang Hu tribes with evil intentions and dissatisfaction with Luoyang were bound to fall into the arms of the rebels one after another.
When next spring comes and the temperature gets warmer, the rebels will definitely sweep across Liangzhou.
So Yang Yong recruited troops and tried his best to expand the number of troops. At the same time, he went to Luoyang one after another, asking Luoyang to prepare early and not wait until the situation was irreversible before regretting it.
It is a pity that Yang Yong's memorial table was stopped by Yuan Wei at the Chancellor's Desk and was not sent to the palace for Liu Hong to see.
Yuan Wei had good reasons for doing this.
He did not want the people recommended by the Ancient Classics School to be denounced at this time to damage the power of the school.
He also sent someone to tell Yang Yong - Xiao Yang, I recommend you to go to Liangzhou. I am not asking you to cause trouble for the court. You should give full play to your own subjective initiative to solve the problem and don't always report to the court.
As long as you work hard, the worst result is that you lose your life. If you don't work hard, our ancient literature school will lose a lot of benefits!
Liu Bei didn't care about the power of any school. He first persuaded Yuan Wei not to do this. Yuan Wei refused to listen and asked Liu Bei to put the interests of the school first, so Liu Bei secretly reported the matter to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with Yuan Wei's behavior and praised Liu Bei's loyalty, but at the same time, he also felt that the matter was not as serious as Yang Yong said and would not reach this point.
How dare the Liangzhou rebels invade the land of Sanfu?
At most, the land of Liangzhou is lawless, and they can just ignore them. Anyway, Liangzhou is poor and cannot bring any tax revenue to the court, and the court has to continue to provide money.
Losing money stuff.
The imperial court was short of money and was spending money everywhere. Even if they wanted to use troops against Liangzhou, they would have to wait a few years before doing so.
I would like to find an opportunity to give Yuan Wei a good beating. What happened to the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke?
I, the Emperor of the Liu family, have not said anything for 400 years!
Seeing Liu Hong's angry expression, Liu Bei sighed inconspicuously.
Forget it, I'm tired, let's destroy it...
They clearly know that something is right, but these meat-eaters just don't do it. It's just a fluke, they just don't want to bother, they just want to live a stable and comfortable life, and they just muddle along.
The reason why he doesn't want the world to be in chaos is that he doesn't want more innocent people to die because of this. He wants them to live until tomorrow, but it's not to make these insects' lives more comfortable.
I’d better save all of you physically...
