"In that case, what does Mr. Chen mean?" asked the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong.
After hearing this, Chen Yuanda immediately replied.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Prefecture not only have severe punishments, but also have generous rewards for their military merits. The two complement each other, so they have so many capable soldiers."
"Yes, I also know this truth. That's why I want to make the country's soldiers and people allocate fertile land for farming and war."
Liu Cong naturally understands such a simple truth very well.
After returning from Luoyang, Liu Cong had revealed his intentions to his close generals and ministers.
However, when these Xiongnu nobles learned about Liu Cong's ideas, they all expressed their opposition in unison.
Because if Liu Cong's method is followed to learn the Qingzhou Han army's military system, it will be equivalent to stripping all the Xiongnu tribes of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom from the control of the original tribal chiefs.
According to the customs of the Huns, the status of the chiefs of the Huns tribes is passed down from generation to generation, including the pastures, cultivated land and tribes they command. No matter how their chanyu changes, they cannot directly command the ordinary people, but through Those noble people, big and small, take control.
Once the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong's replica of the military system was implemented, it would turn this hereditary power into one emperor and one courtier.
After all, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou paid the most attention to military merit and awards. With their military merit, more and more subordinates from lower backgrounds would be on an equal footing with the previous nobles.
These Huns nobles quickly unified their opinions and all expressed clear opposition.
What's more, he often privately mocked the Huns Emperor Liu Cong as a prodigal son who destroyed the ancestral law.
Without the support of the Xiongnu nobles like them, would those Di Qiang and Jin refugees obediently obey their orders?
The Huns Emperor Liu Cong has always hated these short-sighted people.
But I have never thought of a suitable way to solve it.
"Your Majesty, I have already thought of a way." Chen Yuanda said immediately.
"Tell me quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the nobles of the tribes are now unwilling to donate their tribesmen and fields to become military soldiers. This is nothing more than taking advantage of the geographical convenience." Chen Yuanda said.
This sentence made Liu Cong a little confused. He didn't know where Chen Yuanda's words came from.
"Convenient location? What's the meaning of this?"
"Your Majesty, the lands of the nobles are almost all around Pingyang, but Pingyang is a small place after all. If your Majesty wants to change the military system, not only will you have to seize their tribes, but also their fields. How can you succeed?"
Chen Yuanda couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of the luxurious scenes of those Xiongnu nobles.
Since the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom raised their troops, they have repeatedly defeated the powerful Jin Dynasty, not only seizing large tracts of land, but also plundering countless people and treasures.
However, the beneficiaries of this series of successes were more or less the nobles of the Xiongnu tribes, and the ordinary Xiongnu tribesmen only got some leftovers.
Chen Yuanda, who was born as a Huns civilian, naturally understood this situation very well.
Under this situation, the Xiongnu and Han states could only continue to use victory to inspire them. Otherwise, once they encountered setbacks, an internal crisis might break out.
"What Mr. Chen said is extremely reasonable." Liu Cong, Emperor of the Huns, said.
"My plan is to get rid of the constraints of these nobles and jump out of the small place in Pingyang." Chen Yuanda said very seriously.
After hearing this suggestion, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong thought that someone had said this before.
That person was Wang Mi who had died in the hands of Qingzhou thieves.
When the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom invaded Luoyang, Wang Mi once talked about the disadvantages of Pingyang, and then suggested that the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom move their capital to Luoyang.
"Could it be that Duke Chen wants me to move the capital?" Liu Cong asked immediately.
"Yes, Your Majesty is indeed very resourceful!" Chen Yuanda immediately nodded in agreement.
"Where to move the capital?" Liu Cong felt vaguely that Luoyang no longer had any facilities as a capital.
"Chang'an!" said Chen Yuanda, the censor Zhongcheng.
"Chang'an?" The Huns Emperor Liu Cong obviously agreed with this answer.
"Yes, it's Chang'an!" Chen Yuanda continued.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an is backed by eight hundred miles of Qinchuan and fertile fields. Let alone one hundred thousand people, even if there are another two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, there will be no problem."
"And, not only that, as long as the capital is moved to Chang'an, a large amount of grain transportation will be saved, and a lot of losses will be saved."
After Liu Cong heard this, he couldn't help but agree with it.
Nowadays, the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom are getting bigger and bigger, and the capital needs more and more food and clothing materials.
However, nowadays, most of the Xiongnu nobles have stopped fighting near Pingyang, the capital of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and Liu Cong's officials cannot collect much tribute at all.
"Hey, moving the capital is a major national event, and I'm afraid it will make everyone unwilling to comply." The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was also a little embarrassed.
Even though he was an emperor, he overhauled the palace and gardens in Pingyang, and searched for beautiful women to enrich the harem, but these were just squeezing the Jin people and did not touch the interests of the Xiongnu nobles at all.
Now, just a little bit of news has immediately aroused the public's anger, as if Liu Cong is going to do something to destroy the country.
As for moving the capital, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
"Hey, Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital can be carried out by strategy.
!" Chen Yuanda smiled softly, and then continued.
"Your Majesty, according to my wishes, Your Majesty can raise troops to attack the Jin captives in Qinzhou and Liangzhou, and lead an army and hundreds of officials into Guanzhong!"
"Raise troops to attack the two states of Qin and Liang"
As soon as he heard this method, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong immediately felt that it was very good.
In the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, once a march was underway, the Xiongnu emperor would usually order capable people to temporarily lead the troops. Even if the Xiongnu nobles were dissatisfied, it would be difficult for them to cause rebellion.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can order someone to report it. Let's say that the thieves in Liangzhou and Qinzhou are arrogant and took advantage of this great opportunity to lure strong troops to move to Chang'an."
"Your Majesty, when that time comes, without the restraint of those nobles, and your Majesty continues to reward them with titles and land, will the tribesmen still resist the king's orders?"
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong heard this, he immediately thought about it seriously, and then wrote a series of praises in one breath.
"Haha, great. Mr. Chen is worthy of being an important minister of the state. Once this method comes out, I will see what those short-sighted people will dare to do!"
After Liu Cong had a secret discussion with him, he immediately summoned his most trusted attendants and ordered them to prepare secretly.
Sure enough, not three days later.
People from the Guanzhong border in the west came to Pingyang one after another to ask for reinforcements.
"Your Majesty, Sima Bao of the Jin Dynasty calls himself the King of Jin in Fufeng. He must be very ambitious."
When he heard that there was a danger on the western border of Guanzhong, Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Yuanda immediately said what he had prepared in time.
After reading the report in his hand, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong immediately spoke with a heartbroken expression.
"Alas, these poor people in Guanzhong have just been protected by me with my peerless martial arts. They are still under the emperor. They will have a good New Year soon."
The conversation between the two was intended to make the Hun nobles present feel a sense of crisis.
"Do you have any ideas to prevent the two groups of Jin rebels from Qinzhou and Liangzhou from being defeated?"
After hearing the words of the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong, there were immediately people eager to fight.
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong made detailed inquiries about these generals who asked for battle, he found various reasons to refute them.
In short, in one sentence, these Jin captives in Liangzhou and Qinzhou are very cruel.
If you want to really let the Jin captives from the two states know that they are afraid, the best way is to let Liu Cong Yujia conquer in person.
Then, with the continued cooperation of Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Yuanda, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong quickly made the decision to lead an army westward to Guanzhong to resist the powerful chiefs of the two states.
Under the influence of various military crises, the Hun officials in Pingyang City quickly became ready to work overtime.
But they were all happy for the emperor.
In this way, Liu Cong predicts that before spring is over, he will sit in the palace in Chang'an to improve his eyesight.
=·=·=·=·==··=
When the winter scene completely disappeared, it was already February.
Yanzhou, outside Luzicheng.
At this time, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was thinking of ways to deceive his Xiongnu nobles into raising troops to march west together, and then make Chang'an the capital.
At this time, Liu Yu had already begun to prepare for the new year's savings and production.
Because today's Han State, the most scarce things are still population and food.
However, there are other things that are equally important as these things.
Just like what Liu Yu is doing at this time.
In the wilderness outside Luzicheng, dozens of Han cavalry were divided into two teams, each holding a rein with one hand and a long pole with the other, scrambling to 'play polo'!
"drive!"
"drive!"
Amidst bursts of cheers, Liu Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, saw the polo match clearly. Not only was his hands a little itchy, but he also wanted to go up and take part in the written test.
"Haha, not bad! Black wins one goal, give me a reward immediately!"
Amid cheers, Liu Yu loudly ordered the guards.
Today, the reason why Liu Yu seems to like polo is not because he has become extravagant and lewd.
But because the Han army had too few cavalry, it had to select suitable cavalry from the infantry.
The reason why it was so troublesome was that many of the Han infantry not only did not have good equestrian skills, they even did not know how to ride a horse.
However, because Liu Yu had high requirements for the loyalty of these cavalry, the new soldiers from Jizhou and Youzhou did not get such a good mission.
"Your Majesty really has a brilliant plan. Now everyone in the army is proud to be able to ride a horse. In another year, the general will be able to build a strong cavalry force of ten thousand people for Your Majesty!"
Wu Xin, who had just been transferred to the central leadership, said.
"Haha, ten thousand elite cavalry may be a bit difficult." Liu Yu was very happy after hearing this.
"As long as you can train five thousand soldiers for me, that's enough!"
Regarding the size of the cavalry, Liu Yu was not very greedy.
The elite cavalry he requires must be ruthless men who can charge in armor, and are definitely not simple horse archers.
Although this kind of heavy cavalry is not very flexible, it can fight a battle with the Yi Cong cavalry in the north.
"How can five thousand be enough? Your Majesty clearly looks down on the general!" Wu Xin immediately said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the general has already seen it. About 30% of the horses bought from the Yuwen Department can be armored war horses. Even if diseases, training injuries and other reasons are removed, there are still tens of thousands of horses. !”
In the autumn not long ago, Yuwen Xianbei, who was supported by Liu Yu, launched a very wanton expansion and plunder.
As the eldest son of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Xun Niyan personally led tens of thousands of elite troops to conquer the north along the grassland. All Xianbei tribes along the way surrendered. Almost all tribes that dared to disobey were destroyed.
With the assistance of Wang Chang, Yu Wenxun Niyan led his army all the way through the pass and attacked the Daxianbei Mountains in the north, and then turned westward, forcing the Dingling people in the south of the Hanhai to surrender carefully.
After such an armed expedition, tens of thousands of horses were looted throughout Yuwen Xianbei.
With so many horses, Yuwen Xianbei and Ben could not use so many, and in the end they all ended up in Liu Yu's hands as part tribute and part trade.
"A mere Yuwen Xianbei was able to acquire so many horses."
Liu Yu couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about the origin of these horses.
Since Cao Wei, the entire Central Plains has been in constant war, and the population has plummeted. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the Central Plains dynasty during the entire period was unable to penetrate deep into the grasslands.
In this case, although the ability of the grasslands to resist natural disasters is weaker, in the absence of large-scale wars, the nomadic tribes deep in the grasslands have developed rapidly.
"Yes, your Majesty is right." Wu Xin also said after hearing this.
"Although Yuwen Xianbei has made peace with our court, he is still in the grassland after all. In just a few months of conquest, he has almost conquered more than thirty tribes and plundered so many horses!"
"If it is not restrained, I am afraid that Yuwen's ambition will gradually grow and it will not be used by His Majesty."
As Liu Yu's first loyal follower, Wu Xin's loyalty was very high.
It was the strong sense of belonging that made Wu Xin say these words even though he knew that Yuwen Zhaoyi was very favored in the harem.
Because of such state affairs, Wu Xin would really feel guilty if he didn't say anything.
"Well, what else did Bocheng hear and see during this visit to the Yuwen Department?" Liu Yu naturally knew in his heart that Wu Xin's words made sense.
"Your Majesty, when I go to the Yuwen tribe, I will see that although the leaders of the tribe are still respectful, I will see that Yuwen Mogui drives the chiefs of other tribes like servants, while those Xianbei chiefs are happy to eat. There is absolutely no resentment at all.”
"Oh, why is this?" Liu Yu didn't know the reason. It couldn't be that those leaders of the small Xianbei tribe were cheap and just liked being driven by Yuwen Mogui.
