When Tuoba Pugen and others dreamed of uniting with the Xianbei people to eradicate the great traitor Yuwen Xianbei, Liu Yu, who was far away in Yanzhou, had no idea about this.
In fact, even if Liu Yu knew about it, he wouldn't care too much.
Today's Yuwen Xianbei's strength has been greatly increased than before. If other Xianbei wants to bite hard, a few teeth may break.
In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the Xianbei people will always die.
Now Liu Yu's Han Kingdom is gradually becoming internally stable, but if there are fewer Xianbei people, the situation on the border will be better.
However, if Yuwen Xianbei couldn't hold on and knelt down, it would be in trouble for Liu Yu.
Today, a large source of horses for the Han Dynasty is Yuwen Xianbei.
In the main hall, Liu Yu was discussing military and political matters with a group of generals.
"Your Majesty, five days ago, Sun Wei and others led the army to retake all the land east of the Sang River. The Suolu are now huddled in the Xinping City area."
"If we march to Xinping again, it will be too long for Sun Wei and others to supply supplies. He submitted a memorial requesting to wait until spring before continuing to march westward."
Xi Jian said calmly.
"It's still ice and snow in the Daibei area. It's great that Sun Wei and the others can conquer Dai County so quickly. As for the Xinping area, let them do it easily."
Regarding Tuoba Xianbei's invasion of Daijun and Yanmenjun, Liu Yu did not expect it to progress so smoothly at the beginning.
After all, Tuoba Xianbei is said to have tens of thousands of people who can control strings. If all the men are included, the number may be close to a hundred thousand.
Liu Yu originally thought that he could use Youzhou and Jizhou military troops to guard the important passes, and that he could wait until next spring to recover the lost territory.
However, Liu Yu obviously underestimated the fighting enthusiasm of the military soldiers in these two states.
The Youzhou Han army led by Sun Wei, the governor of Youzhou, and others defeated the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry three times in just half a month. Almost all the lost ground was lost.
Now that they are trapped in supplies, there is no need to advance too quickly in the only remaining area north of Yanmen.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yan, the governor of Bingzhou, said in a statement that a Suolu chief secretly contacted Liu Yan and said that many of the Suolu people were forced by Tuoba Pugen to invade the border. Now they are thinking of using Liu Yan to Show your sincerity to the court."
Xi Jian told another piece of news he just got today.
Liu Yu found the memorial for Liu Yan, the governor of Bingzhou, from the memorial table on the desk, and then opened it and read it.
There was no nonsense in the short memorial, it was all concise and concise, and Liu Yu read it quickly.
After reading it, Liu Yu felt happy.
Although Tuoba Xianbei nominally respects the tribal leaders as their co-leaders, this is just an extremely loose tribal alliance.
Among them, those who really hold the power are the chiefs of each tribe. These people have different interests and demands depending on the size of their power.
Now that Tuoba Pugen's adventure has been thwarted, some people will definitely be afraid of the Han army's future revenge, because some tribes are just adjacent to Youzhou and merge with the state. These people must be afraid.
"Tell Liu Yan, don't worry about them. These people never thought about this when they were looting. Now they are frustrated, but they want to show their kindness. They are just cunning villains."
Liu Yu didn't care about these worthless demands.
The ambitions of these Xianbei outside the Great Wall have gradually grown. No matter how kind the Central Plains dynasty is to them, they will not be able to support them in the end.
Liu Yu plans to directly focus on authoritarianism in the future.
"If they really want to return from their lost ways, then let them find a way to chop off Tuoba Pugen's head to apologize!"
"No matter who it is, as long as he cuts down Tuoba Pugen, I will regard him as the leader of Tuoba tribe."
After seeing Liu Yu's clear attitude, Xi Jian immediately wrote it down.
Afterwards, everyone reported a bunch of unimportant things, and Liu Yu also responded step by step.
When it came to the last thing, Liu Yu suddenly became very interested.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, has reported that it has been confirmed that the total population of the barbarian nations in Dongping Prefecture is more than 300,000."
"Three hundred thousand?"
Liu Yu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this number.
Dongping Prefecture of Han State belongs to the newly established area, that is, the entire Korean Peninsula.
If the error reported by Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, is not large, it would be a huge surprise to Liu Yu.
He really didn't expect that there would be as many as 300,000 Dingkou on the Korean Peninsula in the Jin Dynasty.
If the number of children is 300,000, then the number of other old, weak, women and children should be twice that number.
If you calculate it this way, then there are nearly a million people on the entire Korean Peninsula.
"Well, Your Majesty, Zhang Tong said in the memorial that this number is also calculated based on the business travelers who came into contact with Haoqi, Sanhan, Woju and other tribes."
"These Yi and Di counts are not very accurate, and the number of 300,000 may not be true."
Seeing Liu Yu's serious look, he hurriedly added.
On today's Korean Peninsula, the Baekje and Samhan natives occupy the south, and the Haoyun, Nambuyeo, and Woju people occupy the northeast.
Except for the Baekje people, the rest are very closed and backward, so it is not possible to know the specific population among them.
However, Liu Yu is quite confident about this number.
In later modern times, the population of the Korean Peninsula reached nearly 70 million. If calculated based on the ordinary ratio between the Central Plains and later generations, there should be at least 500,000 to 600,000.
Moreover, the population of the Central Plains has been greatly reduced due to the frequent wars in the past. Relatively speaking, although the barbarians in Dongping Prefecture are more backward, they are relatively stable, with a population of 600,000 to 700,000, or even one million. possible.
"If there are so many barbarians in Dongping Prefecture, wouldn't they all be kidnapped and used as farm slaves?"
Gongsun Sheng was also very happy after hearing this number.
Liu Yu nodded and then said.
"Since there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians in Dongping Prefecture, then King Baekje only pays tribute to one or two thousand slaves every year. Isn't he just fooling me!"
Since the previous defeat of Baekje, these Buyeo people began to provide captured Sanhan slaves to Liu Yu every day.
But the number has never been large.
"Your Majesty, I also heard that the King of Baekje has been secretly communicating with Goguryeo and other northern captives recently. I'm afraid he also has two intentions!"
After hearing this, Liu Yu's face immediately darkened.
"It's just a Baekje country, it shouldn't dare to make mistakes!"
Regarding this matter, Liu Yu was actually very sure.
Now Zhang Tong's troops in Lelang and Daifang counties have nearly 10,000 troops, and there are also 3,000 Jizhou refugees and Wuhuan cavalry led by Ran Long and others.
The numbers of these troops are not too intimidating to Baekje.
However, the war knives, bows and arrows, armor, horses and other war equipment used by the Han army gave them the capital to defeat one against five.
"However, the King of Baekje is in a bad position to do things. He only has a thousand slaves every year, but he has to at least quadruple his number."
Liu Yu said with a smile again.
Since the Battle of Luoyang, although the Huns were defeated, Liu Yu realized that if he wanted to completely defeat the Huns, he must have sufficient logistics.
In order to have sufficient supply logistics, we must have more abundant harvests.
Therefore, for Liu Yu, the most scarce thing from beginning to end is labor.
Today, the Han Dynasty has nearly 300,000 soldiers. Although the level of these soldiers and horses varies, they are all semi-off-the-job soldiers, which requires more farm slaves and land guests.
Now that the refugees have been slowly resettled, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find more serfs for the military soldiers to exploit.
Therefore, when Liu Yu learned that Dongping Prefecture had such a large barbarian population, he immediately thought of this method.
"This King of Baekje is quite loyal. Although he is not doing well, he can still improve."
After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to continue to use the Baekje people?"
When Gongsun Sheng heard that there were so many "savages" in Dongping Prefecture, what he immediately thought of was to destroy Baekje Kingdom first, and then personally capture those Sanhan savages.
"Of course Baekje people need to use it, not only do they need to use it, but they also need to use it properly!"
Liu Yu said meaningfully.
Although Baekje ruled many Mahan people, its base was the Buyeo people who migrated from the north, so it was considered a small country where a minority ruled the majority.
As a loser of the Han Kingdom, it is naturally more appropriate to use this kind of Fuyu people from the Baekje Kingdom.
"Not only Baekje, but also immediately send an order to Zhang Tong and Ran Long, asking them to find a suitable candidate among the Haoqi and Woju people to play the role of Baekje."
Liu Yu had already thought about it. Although the land on the Dongpingzhou Peninsula was barren and there was no very rich output, under the current environment, the population was the best product.
Nowadays, the number of Han army soldiers has increased. Although there are frequent wars, some weaker army soldiers still need to engage in actual combat.
But these 'savages' on the Dongpingzhou Peninsula are the best prey.
Because of the broken mountainous and hilly terrain, first of all, there must be local guides like 'Baekje people' to act as hunting dogs.
After thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration.
"In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone. Not only can we train troops, but we can also replenish the population of farm slaves."
Since the territory of the Han Kingdom has expanded, many military soldiers have indeed gradually become more relaxed. After all, if they are too far from the border, there is no need to mobilize them in urgent wars.
"Your Majesty's clever plan, this way, the sergeants of Qingxu and Xuzhou will be able to avoid slacking off!"
"Yes, back then Emperor Wu sent troops to capture Shanyue every year. This not only enriched Dingkou, but also allowed the troops to practice."
Gongsun Sheng and others immediately brought up the matter of Sun Quan sending troops to capture the Shanxi people every day.
Liu Yu had already heard about this matter.
Speaking of Sun Quan, King of Wu in the Wei Dynasty, he was most dedicated to two things in military matters.
The first thing, of course, is to mobilize an army of "100,000" to attack Hefei at every turn.
The second thing is to arrange a tiring attack and capture of the mountaineers in the territory.
Later, Liu Yu discussed with these people a more detailed implementation strategy.
Their goal, of course, was to use the Han army to plunder slaves and women. As for those remote lands, they had little interest.
In a word, it is basically looting people and destroying land.
When he thought of those backward savages in Dongping Prefecture, Liu Yu didn't feel any nervousness about war. Instead, he felt like he was about to torture the food again.
However, when Liu Yu just expressed his intention to conquer in person, he immediately encountered unanimous opposition from everyone.
The excuses used are nothing more than the danger of crossing the sea, and the acclimatization of the barbaric land.
This attitude of everyone made Liu Yu confused for a while.
"I have been to Dongping Prefecture a long time ago. There is no danger at all, nothing to be afraid of."
After hearing this, these people still refused to let go and continued to persuade and stop him.
But Hua Xiu's last words made Liu Yu understand what they meant.
"Your Majesty, there are many affairs in the country now, and we cannot live without a king for a day. If your Majesty crosses the sea to Dongpingzhou, what if there are wind and waves blocking the way, and there happens to be something urgent?"
"For military affairs, there is a military department, and for political affairs, there is a secretary. It's okay!" Liu Yu said.
"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall! Let alone the emperor!" Hua Xiu continued.
"It has not been unusual since ancient times for the emperor to fight in person. Why is he so blocked now?" Liu Yu had obviously noticed the difference.
When Hua Xiu heard this, he finally said it after a slight hesitation.
"Your Majesty doesn't have a son yet. If you go into danger again, what if..."
"...I'm afraid that my family and country will be in chaos."
It turned out that it was for this reason that Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a black line coming down.
=·=·=·=·=·=·=
Dongping Prefecture, Lelang County.
To the east of Lelang County, a strong fort has just been built.
Although it is a Wubao, it is much larger than the common Wubao in Dongping Prefecture, three to five times the size of an ordinary Wubao, and is almost as big as a small county town.

Half of these three thousand righteous cavalry were Wuhuan and other miscellaneous men from Jizhou. After they surrendered to Liu Yu, they were first organized into army soldiers for farming and warfare, but they could not even support themselves, so Liu Yu simply took them. They were all thrown into Dongpingzhou to guard against threats such as Goguryeo.
After these bandits from Hebei came, they seemed to be like a fish in water. They no longer had to farm, they only needed to be on guard.
And soon, these Hebei Yicong cavalry discovered that although the Haoqi, Woju and other tribes approaching them were fierce in temperament, they were all very backward, and even the weapons they had in hand were treasures.
