As the names are called, they become familiar.
"Opening, Xinglong, Futian, Changyun." Wang Meng read it again, "Majestic and majestic, your majesty is brilliant!"
This flattery made Li Yue blush.
Li Yue and Wang Meng agreed, and the matter was basically settled.
The court deliberation was a formality, and as long as it did not consume the power of the Kanto nation, the courtiers did not care much about it.
As for the tribes in Liangzhou who followed the expedition, Li Yue also divided the pastures for them. The Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang Di, and Lu Shuihu were all mixed together, and no ethnic group could occupy a large piece of pasture alone.
In the final analysis, the area north of the Tianshan Mountains was captured by the Heiyun Army.
No one of these tribes can conquer a city or destroy a country alone.
The pie that Li Yue painted for them can still be eaten for a long time.
The Sinicization of these tribes was also in full swing. Li Yue asked Dongfang Chen to select a few outstanding disciples and follow them to the west to spread Taoism.
However, many things in Taoism at this time were still in the theoretical stage and were not fully mature. They could not be compared with Buddhism, which had flourished in the Western Regions for hundreds of years.
These people were sent there just to test the waters, and Li Yue didn't have high hopes.
The main force in Sinicization was Confucian scholars.
In recent years, with the introduction of paper, the price of books has been greatly reduced, the monopoly of knowledge by powerful nobles has been basically broken, and more and more children of common people from poor families are participating in the imperial examination.
Even if you don't pass the exam, you can still participate in the selection of the Honglu Division and become a Honglu official, pacify the border areas, and educate barbarians from all over the world.
Now that the Western Regions are being opened up, the demand for such talents is increasing. All countries and tribes in the Western Regions must educate and educate local officials, monitor the hearts and minds of the local people, and report regularly to the court.
The powerful children of the gentry may look down upon him, but for them it is a rare path to advancement.
If you are a good official, you can also join politics or the army and become qualified.
Huan Yi went out to conquer Henan, and everything was stable. He slaughtered two tribes of Gege and Tiefu in Sheyanshui, captured Zhang Tong alive, killed more than 5,000 people, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, and captured 170,000 livestock.
Liu Weichen of Tiefu tribe sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask for surrender.
Li Yue refused and asked Liu Weichen to come to Luoyang in person to plead guilty.
With the Tiefu tribe's unruly attitude, they will naturally not come.
The Tiefu tribe dealt with Jie Zhao, Dai Guo, Di Qin, and Daliang. They were capricious and experienced. Liu Weichen was even more cunning and cruel. He killed his nephew to seize the throne. Naturally, such a person would not obediently go to Luoyang to become a rich man. Weng.
He hid in Tibet in the east of Henan and relied on the geographical advantage to deal with Huan Yi.
However, for a Xiongnu tribe to compete with Liang Guo, it is tantamount to whims.
Li Yue followed Huan Yi's suggestion and established Xiazhou on the upper and lower reaches of the Sheyan River. With Huan Yi as the governor of Xiazhou, he firmly occupied the most fertile land in Henan and compressed the living space of the Tiefu tribe.
No matter Liu Weichen is standing up like this, Li Yue has long regarded Henan as a pasture. The territory is no less than that of Guanzhong, with rich water and grass. It would be good to go hunting every year.
It depends on how many years the Huns can survive.
But not all news is good news.
Daizhou Dou Feng led 5,000 cavalry to the grassland, but went too deep and was besieged by Tuoba Shi Yijian's 30,000 cavalry. After five days of bloody fighting, nearly half of them were lost. Fortunately, Zhao He led 3,000 cavalry to rescue him, and he was able to break out of the siege and return to Daizhou. state.
Tuoba Shi Yijian gained great momentum and spread the news in all directions, claiming to have wiped out 50,000 Liang troops...
This is the first time that the country has suffered such a big loss at the hands of Tuoba Shi Yijian for so long.
Two thousand three hundred and seventy-two black cloud elites were buried in Mobei.
At the court meeting, Li Yue directly issued an edict to seize all the military honors from Dou Feng, demote him to captain, and perform meritorious service.
"We can't take Tuoba Shi Yijian lightly. Let's forget it this year. From next year, we will increase the intensity of the expedition against the grassland. We will attack in spring, summer and autumn. I want to see how many years Tuoba Shi Yijian can survive."
Although the reason for the defeat was that Dou Feng underestimated the enemy, objectively it also showed that Dai's strength was increasing.
In the past, Tuoba Shi Yijian always turned around and ran away during the Northern Expedition, but now he dared to fight back.
The losses suffered in the Battle of Liangzhou were gradually recovered.
"It's not that Daliang is invincible, it's that Mobei is too big to find its main force. Tuoba Shi Yijian deliberately avoids fighting, so our army has little chance." Li Jian cupped his hands and said.
"Prince, does he have any plans?"
After one year in prison, Li Jian became more and more mature and had the bearing of a prince.
"My ministers believe that we should pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement. There are a large number of Gaoche and Rouran people in Dai's jurisdiction. Even in Xianbei, there are more than ten tribes. We might as well bribe them with gold and silver and promise to entrust Mobei to them. By dividing and disintegrating it and causing internal chaos, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Li Jian talked eloquently.
As soon as this policy came out, there was a lot of praise in the court.
Even Wang Meng looked pleased.
Li Yue's eyebrows rose with joy, and he suddenly remembered that when the Sui Dynasty dealt with the Turks, they also adopted Chang Sun Sheng's strategy of division and alienation, which eventually divided the arrogant Turkic empire into two parts: the east and the west.
"If Gaoche, Rouran and other tribes take advantage of this, wouldn't it be another Dai Kingdom?" Wang Meng stood up holding a Yahu.
This is obviously the purpose of testing Li Jian.
"Since Daliang can deal with the country of Dai, Gaoche and Rouran are naturally not a problem. I have already said that it is to suppress and appease at the same time, rather than just showing favor. Once there is civil strife in Dai, there will be people who are familiar with the situation in Mobei and go south. , defected to our Daliang, using them as the vanguard, Tuoba Shi Yijian has nowhere to escape!"
"What do you think?" Li Yue turned to the ministers.
After fiddling with it, there was still something wrong with my strategy.
The fortresses were all breached from the inside. It was not advisable to show strength blindly. Tuoba Shiyijian established the Dai Kingdom, which was different from the previous Xiongnu, and also different from Tanshihuai and Kebineng. It absorbed a large number of Central Plains scholars and established a system. Relatively sound.
Under normal circumstances, it is not that the Central Plains dynasty cannot defeat the grasslands, but that the grasslands are too big and the grassland people will run away if they cannot defeat them. Due to the influence of the climate, the Central Plains dynasties will naturally suffer losses. The supply of grain and grass alone is a big problem. Fighting it down will not bring economic benefits.
That's why Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to keep out the grassland tribes, and also to prevent the Central Plains people from escaping to the grasslands and making them stronger.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the Han-Hungarian War for forty-three years, but still could not completely wipe out the Huns, let alone the current Liang Kingdom.
"Your Highness is wise, and I second my opinion!"
"Okay, let's follow this strategy."
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
Looking at the energetic Li Jian, Li Yue suddenly felt a little old, but he was still very happy.
So many years of careful training have finally paid off.
In a blink of an eye, the prince's wedding day has arrived.
In the past, this kind of thing was kept as low-key as possible, firstly because the country was not wealthy, and secondly because everything was complicated, so we had to keep it as simple as possible.
However, today is different from the past. It is when Li Jian needs people's support the most.
Secondly, holding a wedding with great fanfare is tantamount to standing up for Wang Meng and preparing for him to take over the Shangshu Order.
As the prince's father-in-law, Wang Meng's status will become more stable.
Likewise, the interior of the girder will be more stable.
Luoyang was filled with joy.
After receiving the news, the people spontaneously put up lanterns and streamers. Officials from all over the country sent congratulatory forms and gifts. They all knew Wang Meng's temperament. Most of the gifts were local specialties. They didn't cost a lot of money. They were nothing expensive. Mind.
