Cai Yong's "Duduan": "The first month of the first month (Ding day in the early month of the first month), the temple in the southern suburbs is completed, and then the northern suburbs are Mingtang, Gaozu Temple, and Shizu Temple are called the Five Offerings. Five Offerings are followed by Shanglingling."

The so-called "five offerings" refer to five important sacrificial activities in the first lunar month. All the "nine guest" in Beijing must participate in it.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Literary and Etiquette": "The Great Honglu set up Jiubin and set up the palace in front of the palace." "Jiubin is called king, marquis, dukes, nobles, two thousand stones, six hundred stones, and the subordinates of the Lang, officials, and the Xiongnu attendants, and all nine ranks." In other words, the royal family members, Liu, a hundred barbarians, and the various counties are under the plan. Many of them must participate in the "Shangling Ceremony" before they can return home.

His Majesty asked Liu Bei to stay in Beijing, which was also a convention.

Nothing different.

Liu Bei was the chief minister, and the "Five Offers" were to attend. The subordinate of the Dahonglu, the governor of the Dahonglu, had come to the mansion to teach Liu Bei the necessary rituals of sacrifice. Fortunately, there were many participants in such a large sacrifice. As long as you follow the crowd, you could pass the precepts. Liu Bei had a very strict family education since he was a child, and he never shortened the etiquette.

There were only seven maids in the mansion, two brothers, three retainers, and more than a hundred guards. The chief clerk Jia Xu was very idle. He mostly arranged Pingqiang's letters for Liu Bei in the three-story study room on the atrium.

The letters of the Grand Marshal Duan’s Pingqiang are summarized in four words: Together kindness and power.

He comforted and treated the Qiang people who were attached to him. He killed all the Qiang people who rebel.

Liu Bei roughly calculated that from the second year of Emperor Huan Yanxi, he succeeded as the captain of the Qiang Hunting School to the reign of General Po Qiang, the number of Qiang people who died under his sword reached 100,000! There were even 4,000 people who rebelled and killed 3,000 people. Reasons such as: Qiang people "killed endlessly", "the heaven was furious, and they pretended to be punished by hand", etc.

This is contrary to Liu Bei's view that only punishes the evildoers and treats the shepherd well.

But Liu Bei could understand it too.

Nowadays, the Han court is no longer as good as before. The national strength can no longer withstand the continuous wave of rebellion that has emerged like wildfires of the Qiang people. Many areas, the same tribe, are pacified today and rebelled tomorrow. Repeatedly, the court will consume a lot of resources, whether it is pacifying or striking.

As recorded in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of the Western Qiang". In the first ten years of Emperor An's rebellion, a total of 24 billion military funds were spent. In the years after Emperor Shun's Yonghe, it was more than 8 billion. In the past ten years after Emperor Huan's founding, it totaled 44 billion.

These three military expenditures alone far exceed the Hanting's routine rewards of more than 190 million to the Southern Xiongnu every year, and the 74 million to maintain stability in the Western Regions and continue the silk trade route.

During the more than 150 years of Qiang turtles, there were countless young and strong people who died in the battlefield in Sanfu area and hungry people who died in the war. Not only the decline of people's livelihood, but it was simply a thousand miles away.

In the ninth year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu, Didao re-established the Qiang Hunting Captain, and the famous general Ma Yuan followed him to quell the Qiang Rebellion. After that, all those who surrendered to the Hanting Court were placed in the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi and Fufeng. They were called Dongqiang.

The number of Han people decreased sharply, while the number of Qiang people increased sharply.

All good fields become wasteland.

Therefore, the Guanzhong Sanfu, which was the heart of the empire during the former Han Dynasty, was easily classified as a Qiang residence area because the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang and the empire looked east.

Since then, the Qiang people moved inward, and waves continued. There were even records that "in the sixth year of Yongyuan of Emperor He, Qiang and Qiang Haotu, a large village in Shu County, led more than 500,000 people to be subordinates, and appointed Zaotou as the chief of the town and gave him a seal and ribbon."

One rises and the other falls. The number of Han people is increasing, while the number of Qiang people is increasing.

The Han civilization was weaker.

Without the support of powerful power, the sinicization of the Qiang people was not even as good as the Southern Xiongnu.

what to do.

kill.

Use violence to suppress violence and kill to quell the rebellion.

Jia Xu even pretended to say that he was Duan Bing's grandson and could run away. This shows how famous Duan Taiwei was among the Qiang people.

In Liu Bei's view, the Qiang Rebellion has gradually changed from external troubles to civil strife.

If you want to completely eliminate the Qiang Rebellion, you can only continue to be sinicized. First, you must immigrate from Guandong to Sanfu on a large scale. Build cities and open up land to create blood and restore the vitality of Han civilization. Then you can carry out intermarriage education and divide it into different ways. You can calm the Qiang Rebellion.

However, the premise of all this is power.

Without sufficient guarantees of power, how could the Qiang people be willing to bow their heads?

No rush to these.

If possible, we will reorganize the country and mobilize the whole country to wipe out all the barbarians in the future.

"Hu——" Liu Bei let out a long sigh and slowly rolled up Duan Taiwei's note and placed it lightly on the corner of the table.

"Is there something new to the lord today?" Jia Xu, who had been sitting next to him, asked with a smile.

"Blood and tears stick to hands." Liu Bei sighed.

Jia Xu nodded gently: "Using killing to control chaos is like mowing grass. This year the grass is gone and it will be launched again next spring. If the roots are not eliminated, the Qiang chaos will be difficult to eliminate."

"Wenhe's words are reasonable." Liu Bei turned and said, "However, the Qiang people were separated from the Hu people in the Western Regions (Hexi Corridor). During the former Han Dynasty, the Western Qiang and the Huns allied together, attacking each other from front to back, causing the Han to be attacked from both sides. Emperor Wu sent troops to Longyou, set up the four counties of Hexi, cut off the Qiang and Hu connections, and then cut off the Huns' arm. Now the Huns flee far away, and the Xianbei was destroyed. High chariots seemed to rise again. The Hexi Corridor was too narrow and long. Once it was cut off, the Han would lose the connection between the Western Regions. In this way, the Qiangs would inevitably be destroyed."

Jia Xu said happily: "A great country must be in the middle and guard it. Luoyang is known as the home of China, but in Xu's view, it is still too east. Guandong is the place where dragons rise, and it must be careful and heavy. However, if you want to create unworldly careers, Chang'an is the empire."

How could Liu Bei not know Jia Xu's heart? Then he smiled and said, "How can others snore on the side of the bed? The place of the three auxiliary assistants will inevitably be regained."

The king and his subjects looked at each other and laughed.

Hua Tuo's name has long been resounding throughout Lin Township.

Another person with double salary and salary matching was Jia Xu, who was "the concubine son of Linxiang Hou Mansion and the chief clerk of the General of the Han Dynasty."

The lord is called Qilinzi, who is neglecting wealth and values ​​righteousness, and is good at knowing people. Why do you need to say more about the previous examples? All the people you recruit are called virtuous and have never missed them since childhood. Although Jia Xu was not famous, he was able to receive a double salary and must have a talent.

Everyone in the countryside thinks so.

First, Lou Gui, then Jia Xu. In addition, the system of counselors in Linxiang, Liu Ye, who had already been appointed, was initially established. By the way, Xu Shu, Kong Ming, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, and the four counselors returned to their positions one by one. The future is promising.

Who is Jia Xu?

He is very smart and close to monsters! He is invincible in strategy and is also well-versed in military tactics. He has written a volume of "The Art of War" and has been proofread by the "The Art of War of Wu Qi". It's a pity that he has never won the military power. Otherwise, the Sima family would have a chance to stand out!

The same thing is true, it is difficult for mediocre masters to drive away good ministers.

Both of his righteous brothers were brave enough to be defeated by ten thousand men. Xu Rong and Cheng Pu were also good generals of the world. Their men and horses were well-equipped and loyal. There were more than ten cities and tens of thousands of good horses in Linxiang.

Could it be that it was just to shed the horses for the Marquis' Mansion?

What is a wise master?

There must be vision.

The reason why Jia Xu resigned from office and returned home was that he saw the rolling undercurrents hidden under the peace.

The female assassin has been living in the hotel in Ma City.

After leaving the corner gate of the backyard, Liu Bei could arrive in Ma City. He often visited the female assassin. He was named Ning. I don’t know if his surname was Zhang. Liu Bei called him Sister Ning. As for the surname, the female assassin did not want to say much, and Liu Bei did not mention it.
