The situation in Yuzhou is different from that in Xuzhou.
After the Hu Han general Zhao Gu retreated from Xuzhou, there were basically no rebels in Xuzhou. Unless Liu Yu and Sima Rui, who divided the north and south, fought, it would be possible to fall into war again. Therefore, Liu Yu moved the southern population northward to This will enrich the core area.
However, Yuzhou is a different story. It is a flat plain with no dangerous terrain. Huru bandits from all walks of life can come and go almost at will. Especially after there is no support from the imperial government and the army, many forts are either overtly or covertly working with the Hulu bandits. Compromise to protect yourself.
Therefore, Liu Yu's plan is that as long as Yuzhou can become a fortress area all over the place, the barbarians cannot be allowed to obtain supplies at will, and then they can plan to consolidate their territory.
"Every county in Yanzhou has already arranged county guards, but there are many vacancies for the commanders of each county. You can choose among these officials."
In Liu Yu's plan, he currently does not have enough troops to cover the entire territory of Yuzhou, so he can only use Yuzhou as a huge buffer zone first, but Yanzhou can be managed well. As long as it can guard the western gate of Chenliu County, Coupled with the barrier of the Yellow River, Yanzhou can be restored to its vitality very quickly.
"As for Yuzhou, the chief officials of each county can discuss with Xun Sikong and then decide on the candidates."
Although Sikong Xunfan came to surrender after being beaten by the Hu and Han troops, his influence was still very high. Through the appointment of these officials, Xunfan's favorability towards Liu Yu could also be increased.
Later, based on his own knowledge, Xi Jian recommended to Liu a few officials in Xingtai who were suitable to return to Yuzhou to serve. Liu Yu also wrote them down one by one, and planned to recommend them personally when negotiating with Sikong Xunfan the next day.
After Xi Jian returned to his office, he took care of a bunch of chores. When everything was ready, he looked up and found that it was almost dark.
After returning home, as soon as Xi Jian walked in, a crisp child's voice came from the house.
"Father, look, look!"
A little girl about six or seven years old ran towards Xi Jian holding a piece of paper full of words in her hand.
At this time, Xi Jian, who had always been unsmiling in Liu Yu's shogunate, changed to a doting expression on his face, and reached out to hug his daughter.
"Father, look, this post I copied from is already somewhat accomplished!"
Xi Jian held his daughter in one hand and took the post copied by his daughter in the other hand. He looked at it and nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Axuan, you are indeed the daughter of Xi Jian. If you can copy Zhong Chenggong's writings at this level, you are no worse than those Confucian scholars."
This little girl is Xi Xuan, the eldest daughter of Xi Jian. She is more than seven years old this year. Because she has been influenced by Xi Jian since she was a child, she has loved learning calligraphy since she was a child. In addition, she is talented and talented. Her attainments in calligraphy are no longer as good as those of ordinary scholars. .
However, due to the chaos in Yanzhou in the past two years, the Xi Jian family's livelihood has become a problem. It is unthinkable to have pure white paper to practice calligraphy like now.
Xi Jian looked at his daughter's thin face, which was no longer as sallow and skinny as before, but now had a pinkish red color. He felt very relieved for a moment.
"Alas, I, Xi Jian, pride myself on my talent, but I actually made my wife and daughter starve to the point of withering. Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous."
Since accepting Liu Yu's conquest, although Xi Jian's wife, daughter and nephew did not immediately have good food and clothing, they are much better than when they were in Wubao, Yishan. At the very least, they had no worries about food and clothing. Got guaranteed.
What's more, Xi Jian now thinks that Liu Yu, the "Donglai thief" who was rumored to have a famous reputation and was born in a poor family in the late Han Dynasty, can be said to be magnanimous and magnanimous.
Xi Jian walked into the house while talking and laughing while holding his daughter Xi Xuan.
"Brother, you are back. A-Xuan has been looking forward to you for most of the day."
As soon as he entered the room, Xi Jian's younger brother Xi Yan said with a smile.
"Hey, this kind of white paper produced in Qingzhou is not cheap. I'd better not buy it in the future."
Xi Jian knew that the paper his daughter practiced on was the finest Qingzhou white paper. Although the price of this paper was not too expensive, it was still a bit luxurious for Xi Jian who had to support a large family with one salary.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Ah Xuan is talented and good at calligraphy. Wouldn't it be a pity if he delayed his talent because he couldn't bear to part with a few pieces of blank paper." Xi Yan was obviously in a very good mood, and he continued.
"It's a pity that A-Xuan is a woman. Otherwise, with this knowledge and talent, I will definitely be able to revitalize the Xi family in the future."
After hearing what his brother said, Xi Jian had other ideas.
"Today's world has changed greatly. With just literary talent and books, let alone revitalizing the family, it may be difficult to even protect the clan."
"It is indeed as brother said, this Hulu is indeed very rampant." Xi Yan said, moved closer to Xi Jian, and continued.
"Brother, I heard that Hulu Shile and Liu Ling have joined forces to fight for Jizhou with Wang Jun of Youzhou. Now there are rumors among the markets in Cangyuan that Wang Jun has dispatched 100,000 Xianbei soldiers. We are going south to Jizhou soon. Alas, I am afraid that once these Xianbei soldiers enter Jizhou, they will cause more trouble than the Hulu."
In fact, the rumors that Xi Yan heard in Cangyuan City were basically spread by people sent by Liu Yu. This was not because Liu Yu deliberately discredited Wang Jun and Duan Xianbei. Duan Xianbei massacred Ye City and looted Luoyang a few years ago. The deeds are still vivid in my mind.
Therefore, in order to prevent Wang Jun from expanding his ambitions and threatening Yanzhou and Qingzhou after Wang Jun captured Jizhou, Liu Yu began to deliberately create negative rumors about Youzhou.
"Wang Pengzu, acting like this is simply playing with fire and burning yourself. The Xianbei barbarians are no less greedy and violent than the Hulu. If Wang Jun uses Xianbei soldiers to defeat the Hulu and capture Jizhou, I would like to see what he uses to reward Duan Bu. Xianbei people.”
Xi Jian said angrily. As a staff member of Liu Yu's shogunate, he naturally knew these things better.
"And in my opinion, even if the Huns and Huru are defeated in the future, these Xianbei people who have moved to the border fortress will probably be a more terrible disaster than the Huru!"
When Xi Yan heard this, he immediately said with some surprise.
"Brother, is it a bit alarmist to say this? These Xianbei people are all our servants in the Jin Dynasty. Although they are a bit vicious and greedy, they are all dependent on the states and towns according to orders. How can they be worse than the Hulu? Where's the trouble?"
Regarding his brother's question, Xi Jian had the same question when he first heard Liu Yu say this.
"The Huns and Hulu were also subordinates of Chengdu King Sima Ying back then, so what happened?" Xi Jian clapped his legs and said sadly.
After Xi Jian got along with Liu Yu for a period of time, he was also influenced by Liu Yu unknowingly.
The original Xi Jian only had a very vague impression of the situation of the Huru barbarians in this era. He only knew that the Xiongnu and Jie were called Hu, and most of them were in Bingzhou, the Di and Qiang were in Longxi Pass, and the Xianbei were in the frontier grasslands. As for the specific situation of the Hulu barbarians, there is no clear understanding.
When Xi Jian learned from Liu Yu that the extremely rampant Huns now numbered only tens of thousands of households and two to three hundred thousand tribesmen, while the Xianbei people had hundreds of thousands of tents and more than a million people in total, he immediately I was shocked.
Based on this strength comparison, if the Xianbei people rebelled, wouldn't they be much more dangerous than the five Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou!
"These barbarians, whether they are Hulu or Xianbei barbarians, are all like what the general often said. Some wise men of martial arts once said, 'Barbarians are just beasts, fearing power but not being virtuous.' Now Luo The capital has been lost, the emperor has been taken prisoner, and China’s power has been completely lost, so how can these barbarians, who have never been unscrupulous, be willing to be nothing but cattle and horses?”
"Afraid of power but not virtuous?" After hearing this, Xi Yan couldn't help but think about this sentence more and more, and the more he felt it made sense.
In fact, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, scholars such as Xi Jian still had many "domineering attributes" inherited from the Han Dynasty, especially when it came to treating barbarians.
For example, in Xi Jian's view, these barbarians, facing the civilized Xia, were neither willing to escape from the desert nor to "become cattle and horses" for China. This really made Xi Jian feel very embarrassed and annoyed. ah.
"Now I feel more and more that the general is not the reckless warrior that the world rumored to be, but rather knowledgeable. Although he is not familiar with the classics and history, he is very familiar with the world's mountains and rivers. Even the barbarians in the frontier fortress are very familiar, it is really unpredictable to me." Xi Jian said to his younger brother with some confusion.
"However, the general knows people and makes good use of them. The general has already adopted the Yuzhou policy that I discussed with you yesterday."
