The Han Dynasty needs a large population. There are only a few opportunities to go out and intercept the refugees in person, but there will be no more. Most Jin people either protect themselves in jiezhai or become slaves of the Hu people. It is obviously inappropriate to move those fortresses in order to obtain population. The only way is to trade Jin slaves from the Hu people.
There are many jin people in the Central Plains and the north, but no one has a correct number. Liu Yan has little appetite. As long as he can have a population of 200000 or 300000 under his rule, he is sure to develop the peninsula in the next five years, and then he should find greater opportunities in the civil war of later Zhao princes.
Yes, although Liu Yan is really not familiar with the history of "five indiscriminate Chinese", he still knows about the outbreak of civil war in houzhao because of his struggle for power and position. He knows that he has accumulated strength for several years. He can see how powerful he is and how far he can achieve in that turmoil.
The transaction with Lian Chengbo was not so smooth. The vigilance of the Hu people was too high, and there were not enough cavalry in the Han Dynasty. The first transaction between the two sides was 20 swords in exchange for 240 cattle.
"This tribe of Hu people is so smart that they don't play tricks on cattle." Ji Chang said that most cattle are strong, and the distribution of bulls and cows is also appropriate. He said more easily: "if you trade a few more times, the tribe will lose its vigilance. When you want to destroy it... It's as easy as a palm of your hand."
Liu Yan has sent scouts to investigate the location selected by Ji Chang. After they return, they will immediately pay the plan for action and establish a framework according to the scale of the fortress.
"Indeed, according to the scale of the fortress, it's a little small..." Ji Chang didn't know how to build the city so well: "it's just... Sir? The man we fought with is Yao Yimai. I heard that he is the son of Yao Yizhong."
Who is Yao Yizhong? Ji Chang was deeply afraid that Liu Yan would not understand the situation. He introduced Yao Yizhong's identity in great detail.
Of course, Ji Chang actually doesn't know Yao Yizhong's past, but just after Zhao can hold the festival, officials worship ten counties and six foreign governors, and the military position is the champion general. It's really frightening to hear the name!
Of course, Liu Yan was worried, so he waited for Ji Chang to give any good suggestions.
"This war is over. After turning around, please send someone to Donglai county." Ji Chang smiled: "Donglai academy should know that you won this war. Even for the sake of the future... You should send someone to work for you."
Donglai academy? Liu Yan is still looking forward to it, but he really doesn't think Donglai college will help him much. It's so strange these days. The more famous scholars are, the more reluctant they are to work for the Jin people. Instead, they flock to the solicitation of the Hu people.
"This..." Ji Chang didn't see any embarrassment. To tell the truth, "the Hu people are all over the Central Plains, and the Jin family moved south. There are no great heroes and heroes in the Central Plains, and the struggle with the Hu people is a failure..."
In other words, the great Confucians did not think that anyone other than the Hu people could gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains. There are too many examples of failure, and too many people have died. Once, twice or three times, no one dares to give advice to forces other than the Hu people.
Liu Yan was silent. He didn't really understand this history. This history has been diluted under the premise of the need of national unity in future generations. No one can really know what happened.
"Some great scholars believe that we should educate the Hu people and make them 'Chinese'." Ji Chang scoffed on his face: "it may have been right before, but after the posthumous title of Jinghou (Zhang Bin), it has changed a lot."
Zhang Bin? A counselor who assisted shile in the establishment of the later Zhao Dynasty was known as "having no left behind plans and no empty opportunities". Although he was the first counselor who assisted shile and respected by shile and his officials, he was just like that before he died. He was chased after his posthumous title of King Hou and was awarded the title of "Sanqi Changshi, youguanglu doctor and Yitong three divisions". He can enjoy the same treatment as the prime minister.
See, the first counselor, shile, who was able to build the country, relied on Zhang Bin's advice, but he was no different from a slave before he died. Only when he died did he have sorrow and honor, but he was worthy of the same treatment as the prime minister. That's it. Countless Confucian scholars envy it. Then, taking Zhang Bin as an example, they began the trend of wantonly defecting to the Hu people. They are willing to be seen as a dog by the Hu people and a rebellious or treacherous role by the Jin people. Say, is it cheap or not?
"You mean that Donglai college will not send capable people to help me?" Liu Yan narrowed his eyes: "the people who went to Hu scrambled to be the first..." he didn't say the following words. He felt that Ji Chang, who was also a Confucian, should be respected. After all, Ji Chang has shown his importance to him.
"It depends on how Donglai academy treats you." Ji Chang said Liu Yan's identity: "if you can get a position in the imperial court, Donglai academy will bet. The higher your status, the greater the ability of the people sent by Donglai academy?"
Liu Yan was not stupid enough to ask "how better than you". He narrowed his eyes: "so, Donglai academy is a nest for tigers!?"
It's really understandable that an academy that looks at the official position and sends people to assist can only be the official position of the later Zhao Dynasty. What else can it be? Is it the state of Jin!?
For such academies, Liu Yan began to have malice, thinking that if Donglai academy didn't give face, it would be all caught and killed one day. Anyway, it was a bunch of garbage that ignored the national robes for power and status.
Of course, Liu Yan won't say those words. Nowadays, the concept of nation and country is very thin. Most of them are priority families. They think that it is important to honor their ancestors. As for what nation and country... Ha ha.
Liu Yan will have his own action on whether he will be regarded as a great threat by the later Zhao court. He knows very well that nothing can not be solved by gold. If one ingot of gold can't be solved, two or more!
After leaving 50 people in the camp, the large army will return to the original settlement, pick up most of the people on the island, and then go to the place where the fort is to be built.
Xisai bailiao and others have been paying attention to the victory and defeat of this war. After Yao Yimai and Qiu linzifu led the army to retreat, the victory and defeat has been very obvious. There is no doubt that the Han Dynasty won the war by defeating the crowd.
For the victory of the Han Dynasty, some people in cabinet county are happy and others are worried. Naturally, they are happy about those families close to the Han Dynasty, and they should worry about those who have changed after the Han Dynasty pulled out the stronghold and left.
Liu Yan returned to the resettlement site and ordered LV Tai to lead his headquarters to cabinet county.
LV Tai's headquarters is still on the way to cabinet county. Some families on the other side of cabinet county should run away immediately. They don't think Liu Yan, the leader of the Han Dynasty, will be a kind person.
There will be no benevolent people in the current years. Obedience and betrayal will be the only end.
Eager to show, Xi Qian, Bai Liao and Su Le finished me and some other families. They took the initiative to intercept those families who wanted to escape. When a bloody war broke out between the two sides, LV Tai led the troops. Those families who wanted to escape were either killed in resistance or surrendered. All the men were decapitated, leaving only the women.
"Lv Quchang, but he doesn't know what the Lord has instructed?" Xi Qian and Bai Liao urgently wanted to show it. He knew that the Han Dynasty had survived this time. Unless it was too stimulating to the court, the court should focus on appeasement.
LV Tai never had too many facial expressions: "but he wanted to tell the patriarch of xiqian that your majesty asked you to preside over the purchase of slaves. In the future, you will buy slaves from the surrounding areas."
Xi Qianbai Liao is a surprise on his face. He definitely has a reason to be surprised. Only in this way can he really enter the circle of the Han Dynasty, let alone earn a certain price difference during his handling.
"In addition..." Lv Tai was still a dead man's face: "you explained that the families in cabinet county selected excellent children according to Ding kou to serve you."
"Nature! Nature!" Xi Qianbai Liao's eldest son was already in the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, he did not go to war with the army this time. He was arranged on an island. He thought for a moment and asked, "but I don't know if the Lord wants to get the post of Sheriff of Changguang county?"
"Someone is already doing it." LV Tai didn't want to talk more. He explained something again and bowed his hand: "so, I'm leaving."
Xi Qian Bai Liao enthusiastically sent LV Tai away in person. He looked at LV Tai's back and wondered what kind of development the Xi Qian family should get when they were waiting for Liu Yancheng to be the Sheriff of Changguang county.
And it seems... It seems that Xi Qian and Bai Liao are more sure that Liu Yan can get the post of Sheriff?
