Diao Yi proposed a strategy to hollow out Huainan, but Liu Wei next to him was already a little panicked.
On the way to escape, Liu Wei also felt that Diao Xie was dead. As a minister of Jiangdong's stockholders, he would definitely receive preferential treatment if he came to the north to seek refuge with Liu Yu.
But now he no longer has this idea at all.
The strategy proposed by Diao Yi was far superior to his own in terms of the effect of winning and the degree of loyalty shown.
Compared with Diao Yi, the only thing Liu Wei can do is probably open his mouth.
"Diao Qing has a great plan!"
"I immediately sent people to Jiangdong to investigate. I said that Wang Dun persecuted the scholars and people, made the refugees in Huainan furious, and killed loyal people. If he didn't demean himself and ask questions, he would never spare them lightly."
As soon as Liu Yu said these words, Diao Yi was extremely excited.
As long as Liu Yu shows this attitude, Jiangdong, which is in civil strife, will definitely become restless.
At that time, even if the dog thief Wang Dun's life cannot be taken, it should be possible to collect the body of his father Diao Xie and bury it.
If we use a little more tactics, it shouldn't be difficult to kill the few sergeants who personally killed Diao Xie.
"Diao Yi will never be able to repay His Majesty's kindness by dying, and he will go through fire and water for Your Majesty!" Diao Yi said.
Subsequently, Liu Yu appointed Diao Yi as the governor of Yangzhou on the spot and made him a general to suppress the captives.
This is just a verbal name that disgusts everyone in Jiangdong, but it can have a shocking effect on people's hearts.
The real authority came from the general who was fighting against the captives, which gave Diao Yi a certain power of official appointment, which could be used to recruit refugee leaders in Huainan.
"We will be stationed in Xiapi City for the time being. Dong Ping, the governor of Xuzhou, is my hero of Yuan Cong. If you need anything, you can go to him at any time."
Liu Yu gave a very generous expression in the end.
When Diao Yi heard this, he immediately thanked him more respectfully.
He followed his father Diao Xie to Jiangdong in Huainan for several years, and naturally knew the name of Dong Ping, the governor of Xuzhou in the Han Dynasty.
Dong Ping was Liu Yu's follower when he was a thief. He could be said to be a basic general, and his loyalty was needless to say.
Now having Diao Yi stationed in Xiapi with the title of Yangzhou Governor can be said to have placed him under Dong Ping's supervision.
If Diao Yi just responded honestly, if Diao Yi rarely made any changes, he would be eaten up at any time.
"In matters concerning Huainan, we will follow Diao Qing's plan."
After Liu Yu said this, he turned to look at Liu Wei.
As the main force against Wang Dun, Liu Wei was extremely panicked at this time.
Compared with Diao Yixiang, he has no capital at all.
Originally, he planned to use the Huainan incident as a stepping stone for his advancement.
Now there is no comparison with Diao Yi's preparation.
"Dalian Gong, from Pengcheng, is also the descendant of Emperor Gaozu. Do you have any good strategies to help me regain my national prestige?"
Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I feel ashamed that I am already unable to do anything about the Huainan matter. I can only do some supplementary things for Your Majesty."
Liu Wei said ambiguously.
He still has a lot of ideas about power and status, but now he doesn't have a suitable opportunity, so he can only say some irrelevant things.
How could Liu Yu not see this trick?
He had long heard that on the way to Yecheng, Liu Wei had been recalling and writing about the situation in Huainan, and his thoughts must be similar to Diao Yi.
Now Diao Yi is fully prepared and has taken the lead.
"It's such a trivial matter as checking for omissions and filling in vacancies. Isn't it true that only those who have wronged Dalian Gong learned this?"
Liu Wei himself didn't think about his career path, but Liu Yu had already thought about it for him.
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"Now Murong Xianbei in Liaodong is dissatisfied with Wang Hua. He has been taking advantage of the dangerous terrain to do evil and hinder the barbarians who want to surrender to Wang Hua to pay tribute. Does Dalian Duke know this?" Liu Yu said.
"I know a thing or two."
Liu Wei said without blushing and without a beating heart.
In fact, more than just knowing a little bit, I simply know it clearly.
Liu Wei single-handedly planned the matter of instigating Jin Emperor Sima Rui to marry Murong Xin.
It was originally Liu Wei's strategy to develop Murong Xianbei, who occupied Liaodong, into an important force to contain the Han Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties. Many of Murong Xianbei's various methods of winning over the people of Liaodong were also inspired by Liu Wei.
At the very least, many local Han powerful people in Liaodong were frightened by these strategies.
"Now I have established Sanshan County at the southeastern end of Liaoning. Does your Majesty know about this?" Liu Yu asked.
"I know a thing or two."
"Okay, it's good to know. What I mean is that Sanshan County is as stable as a rock. It can gather thousands of refugees fleeing south every month. It is already a matter of time for Murong Xianbei to be defeated."
"With the help of your Majesty's divine power, Murong is just a clown." Liu Wei immediately flattered him.
He had roughly guessed what Liu Yu was going to say.
"Haha, yes, Murong is indeed a little thief, but these little thieves are really annoying to eliminate. I want you to find a way to make Murong Xianbei surrender to the imperial court." Liu Yu said.
"Return to the imperial court?"
"Yes, they surrender to the imperial court. This is the last chance I give them. Otherwise, when the army is gathered to march to Liaodong in the future, Murong Xianbei will definitely die."
Liu Yu's words are not alarmist.
Since the establishment of Sanshan County in southern Liaoning, a large number of serfs under Murong Xianbei's rule have tried their best to flee south.
After all, Murong Xianbei's oppression was far more severe than ordinary government recruitment.
In order to stop this situation, Murong Xianbei began to strictly inspect various traffic arteries, and set up harsh penalties to restrict the escape of Han people.
While thousands of people fled, many Han people were brutally exploited.
"How does Your Majesty want Murong to surrender?"
Liu Wei asked cautiously.
He didn't have much expectations for Murong Xianbei's loyalty index.
Even though Murong Xianbei married a clan daughter of the Jin Dynasty, his nature as a Liaodong barbarian has not changed.
At the very least, the people who hold the real power among Murong Xianbei are still Xianbei people, and those powerful Han scholars are just their vassals.
Therefore, it is not a big deal for them to change their families.
"I respect Wang Hua and hand over the Han serfs in my hands." Liu Yu said slowly.
Since the Eight Kings Rebellion, a large number of Han refugees who fled to Liaodong have become Murong Xianbei's serfs.
"There is no problem with this matter. I can definitely do it." Liu Wei said immediately.
"Not only that, I also want Murong Xianbei to move out of Liaodong and no longer occupy any city or place in Liaodong."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei's expression immediately changed.
"What, does your Majesty really mean what he said?"
"Of course it's true. Do I look like I'm joking?" Liu Yu said deliberately.
"If I am frightened, I will be punished with death."
"Okay, I don't blame you, just tell me if you can do it." Liu Yu said.
Murong Xianbei probably still doesn't know that there is serious civil strife in Jiangdong.
After the civil strife between Wang Dun and Jin Emperor Sima Rui, any smart person could see that there was no one in Jiangdong who could return to the Central Plains.
The best ending is to separatize Jiangdong for a while and repeat the story of Sun Wu.
But it was meaningless for Murong to continue to be a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty in Liaodong.
"Your Majesty, if I can persuade Murong Xian to abandon his secret plan and turn to the bright side, I will definitely be confident."
Liu Wei said with some embarrassment.
"But if Murong Xianbei needs to move out of Liaodong after surrendering, I'm afraid it will be too difficult."
“It’s human nature to relocate to a new place.”
Liu Yu didn't care too much about these words.
"It is the nature of us Han people to settle down and relocate. The Xianbei originally migrated into Liaodong from the north. Why not let them leave again?" Liu Yu continued.
"What's more, I heard that the Murong Tuyuhun tribe in the western border also came from the Murong tribe."
"Tuyuhun was able to lead his people to migrate from Liaodong to the western border. Why couldn't Murong Xin, the younger brother, imitate his elder brother?"
When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.
Tuyuhun wanted to leave, and being forced to leave now are completely different things.
If Murong Xuan led his troops to surrender first and then be moved out of their hometown in Liaodong, how unscrupulous would that be?
"Tuyuhun led his troops to migrate from Liaodong to the western border, but it took nearly twenty years. Could it be that Your Majesty allowed Murong Xin to migrate for such a long time?" Liu Wei asked softly.
Liu Yu immediately shook his head.
"Of course not. After Murong Xin surrenders, he must prepare to move out of Liaodong within one year. Within two years, no more Xianbei people are allowed to settle in the four counties of Liaodong."
"However, although the time I requested is relatively tight, for Murong Xin, the benefits I have given them can definitely make up for it."
When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately regained his energy.
"Your Majesty, what benefits are you referring to?"
"The place I allowed Murong Xianbei to move to is much richer and richer than the territory of Tuyuhun."
"Is what your Majesty said true? I heard that Tuyuhun led his people to settle in the Helan Mountain area. It is rich in water and grass and is already the most precious land in Monan."
The eastern part of the grassland is now occupied by Yuwen Xianbei, the first eagle dog of Han Dynasty. The Monan area in the middle has been assigned to the newly established Daizhou area. As for the western grassland, it belongs to Tuyuhun and other tribes and has not yet surrendered.
No matter how Liu Wei looked at it, there was no good place to follow Murong Xianbei, who left Liaodong.
"You should have a long-term view as a person. If you just focus on the small circle of northern Xinjiang, how can you be a man?"
Liu Yu said calmly.
"What is your Majesty referring to?" Liu Wei suddenly became curious.
"To be honest, I have received news from Qinzhou. Sima Bao is prematurely senile and unable to have children. All the generals in Qinzhou have already turned their hearts to the Han Dynasty and are ready to return to the throne at any time."
"Generals of Qinzhou?" When Liu Wei heard this, he was immediately surprised.
Qinzhou Sima Bao was a member of the Jin clan second only to Sima Rui.
If Sima Bao could not have children, he would basically lose the qualifications to be supported by Qinzhou generals.
If there is no way to leave an heir, then everyone's work may be in vain.
"Your Majesty wants to move Murong Xianbei to Qinzhou?"
"No, not Qinzhou."
