When Luochen heard this voice, he felt overjoyed: "Student Luochen! Come and see the teacher!"

The two boats wanted to lean, and in the thick fog, the two people on the bow gradually became clear. One is a white-haired old man, and the other is a young man.

Luo Chen saluted deeply: "Sir, long time no see." Then Cai Yong hurriedly returned his salute: "Prime Minister Luo, a grass-roots citizen, see your lord!" Luo Chen saluted deeply, and then bowed to the young man next to him, saying: "Mr. Jesso, we meet again."

It can be seen that although Yesuo is very polite, he is clearly guessing the purpose of Luochen. Including Cai Yong, then Cai Yong said with a smile: "The battle ahead of Prime Minister Luo is urgent, and the affairs are busy, how could you think of coming to me?"

Luo Chen smiled, not sure if he should speak directly. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Come and ask the teacher for some strategic issues in the future."

Cai Yong laughed: "Prime Minister Luo, why do you ask me about strategy? I, Cai Yong, have long been unable to teach you. Prime Minister Luo is a real strategist now, do you still need to ask me for advice?"

Seeing that Cai Yong had seen through his excuse, Luochen had no choice but to tell the truth: "We fought the Xiongnu quite well, we have already won basic victories, and the main force of the region suffered a near-devastating blow." Then he glanced at Jesso. There was no other change in Jesso's expression, as if it had nothing to do with him. Maybe living an ordinary life by Cai Yong's side, his heart is already quite peaceful and calm.

"Most of the Xiongnu tribes have now been occupied by fallen troops. But now the occupying army has a difficult problem, that is, how to manage these tribes and make them submit to them. If it is not handled well, it will not be good for the Xiongnu and our army, and there will even be more casualties. Great conflict. I'm here to ask Mr. Jesso for advice."

"Oh!" Cai Yong laughed heartily, "I just said that Lord Luochen is a busy person, and there is no way he has no urgent purpose! Hahaha!" It is rare for Cai Yong to be old, but he still looks quite tough. quick thinking.

"Being obedient to the people is supported by the people." Jesso said lightly. "Wherever your army goes, don't burn, kill, loot, and don't be harsh, but respect local customs, so your army will be supported."

"Our army never loots, and it is even forbidden to burn and kill." Luochen said solemnly. "But General Xiahou Yuan, who was in charge of governing these tribes in front of me, wrote to me that the Xiongnu tribe was too hostile to our army, and even took the initiative to attack our army. Only by inviting you out to serve as the Xiongnu Shanyu can the Xiongnu be convinced."

Jesso was taken aback, obviously not expecting Luochen to make this suggestion.

Cai Yong, on the other hand, was quite clear, he laughed and said, "Yesuo! Your luck is here, Lord Luochen, please be a big chanyu!"

Jesso hesitated for a moment, and said: "This... It stands to reason that the lord has the grace of not killing me, and the grace of re-creation, and I, Jesso, should repay, and I will obey the orders. However... If Jesso remembers correctly If so, the lord, at the head of Wuwei City, told me personally that I could stay away from wars and grasslands and go to the Central Plains to live a peaceful life."

"Yeah..." Luo Chen was a little embarrassed. "But now the problem is really serious..."

Jesso didn't speak, as if waiting for Luochen to further express his stance. After all, a promise is worth a thousand dollars, not to mention that Luo Chen is a lord, a great prime minister.

"When I came, I had been thinking about it for a long time..." Luo Chen scratched his head and said. "I know that my promise comes first, so my husband can absolutely refuse me. I just came to beg him, hoping that he will deal with this dilemma. If he doesn't want to, I will fall into the dust..."

Luochen's words are quite sincere, obviously not to order or threaten, but to plead. Jesso was obviously hesitant. He did not want to go back to the grasslands, where he had created miraculous feats, but the political struggle made him tired. He opposed war with the Han army, but war was inevitable. He objected to a direct war with the main force of the Han army, but was transferred away because of this. After he left, the prairie army was wiped out, and the Huns tasted the consequences of their arrogance and ignorance. He didn't want to go back, he just wanted to bury those experiences deep in his heart and let them pass. He just wanted to live a quiet, uncontested life. But now he has to go back to the front line, back to power, and deal with the things that made him feel tired again, which is really not what Jesso is willing to do.

"The people of the Xiongnu trust Mr. Zhong Ping quite a bit, and even surpassed Zhongping." Luo Chen continued to persuade him. "Now that the Huns have just gone through the war, General Xiahou Yuan told me that they generally lack labor, and food and clothing are a problem. Now everything is left to be rebuilt. However, only Mr. Yesuo can maintain the stability of the Xiongnu tribes without bloodshed. The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers captured on 1.8 are waiting to be dispatched, and I hope you can send them home in person to promote the stability of the Xiongnu.”

"Those prisoners of war? Are you going to release them directly?" Jesso was a little surprised.

"Yes." Luo Chen said.

Jesso thought to himself.

"Only a gentleman can maintain the stability of the Xiongnu tribe and prevent bloodshed!" Luo Chen's voice was a little hurried. "There are frequent riots now. General Xiahou Yuan can't just sit back and watch. He can only use force to suppress the rebellion. Although these people have picked up swords, they are really not real soldiers. General Xiahou Yuan is not willing to continue such a so-called war!"

The corners of Jesso's mouth twitched as he made his final thoughts.

"Please sir! For the people of the Huns, for the sake of not shedding blood!"

"I'll go." Jesso sighed and said lightly. .

Chapter 111: The Huns surrendered to all kinds of Han people

Many years from now, one will see a rather coherent, well-thought-out article. In this article, the author introduces in detail the various situations after the Huns surrendered to the Han people.

Luochen wrote two widely circulated articles, one article analyzed how the cavalry learned from the northern minorities and improved their combat effectiveness. How to professionalize the cavalry corps in the mainland and become a real blade. Another article is this one. Of course, the grand occasion of the Xiongnu tribe's annexation and later governance, of course, owed to the governance of Jesso.

The Southern Xiongnu received favorable treatment from the central government of the Han Dynasty after they attached themselves to the interior, saying: Since the late father Fu Nian returned to the religion, he has been sheltered, the frontier fortress is quiet, and the soldiers supported him. At the age of the year, the rewards are in the hundreds of millions at every turn. Although I can rest easy, but I have no effect, I feel deeply ashamed.

After the war, the Huns were generally at peace. A peaceful and stable environment is conducive to the development of social production in the South Xiongnu. At the same time, the Southern Huns began to enter the fortress, not only distributed in the border areas, but also staggered with the Han people. "More than 5,000 Huns fell and settled in the Shuofang counties, where they mixed with the Han people", which refers to the Southern Huns in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The "fall" of the Xiongnu means a household. Each household is counted as five people. At that time, the population of the Southern Xiongnu who entered 10 prefectures and counties was two or three people, which was quite a lot. These Southern Xiongnu people who live together with the Han people and who are distributed in the peripheral counties, live with the Han people day and night, or often interact with the Han people, and are naturally strongly influenced by the Han culture. Therefore, after forty years or so, due to the development of social production and the influence of Han culture, great changes have taken place in their social economy, social organization and class relations.

The social organization of the Huns was originally a combination of production organization and military organization. "History. The Xiongnu Biography said: "Scholars (aged and strong men) are capable of bending bows, and they are all armored and cavalry (all are compiled as cavalry)." They produce nomadic herds in peacetime, and go out on horseback in wartime. Herdsmen are cavalry, and producers and combatants are one. However, after the southern Huns entered the fortress, the "victory army" system appeared around 90 AD. At that time, the southern part of the country had conquered the enemy and captured them year after year, and accepted and surrendered. The so-called "victory soldiers" are standing soldiers who are separated from production and only serve as combat troops. At this time, if a group of more than 200,000 people has divided into more than 50,000 standing soldiers, there is an average of about one standing soldier in five people. The strong men, the old, the infirm, women and children, other than Shengbing, specialized in animal husbandry, agriculture and handicraft production. There are three reasons for the emergence of the victorious soldiers. It is the further development of social production. The second is that agriculture began to occupy a larger proportion in the social economy, and the third is the influence of the imperial military system. Among them, the first point is the main one. Because one of the five won a soldier, it means that in addition to supporting the original ruling class, it is possible to support one more person with the surplus labor of the five. This is a reflection of the further development of social production in the Xiongnu. Secondly, because agricultural labor is different from animal husbandry labor, it requires relatively fixed manpower and certain farming techniques to properly manage and increase production. Therefore, some people are selected to serve as soldiers, and the other part is specialized in animal husbandry or farming (or Half-agricultural and half-pastoral), which is beneficial to promoting social production. This division of labor between the cavalry and the peasants and herdsmen was the beginning of the separation of the production organization and the military organization of the Huns. It was a phenomenon of the progress of the social system of the South Huns. It was the result of the development of social production in the Huns, but in turn promoted the development of the Xiongnu society. The progress of social production.

Since the Huns were attached to the Han Dynasty, many tribes were attached to them. The Huns originally distributed in Xihe, Shangjun, Shuofang and other places went further south, and most of them were concentrated in the Fenshui River Basin in the middle of Bingzhou. This provides a favorable environment for them to switch from animal husbandry to agricultural economy.

Luochen also adopted the following powerful measures for the Xiongnu through his appointed Yesuo and others: First, the upper-level figures of the Xiongnu were absorbed into the local government to hold official positions, so that they were completely separated from their followers. Second, the herdsmen and strong men of the Xiongnu were recruited and compiled into "Yi Cong Hu" and "Courageous Officials and Soldiers", and distributed to various places for garrisoning or fighting, while their families moved to live in Yecheng. Third, for the rest of the ordinary Xiongnu civilians, they were encouraged to participate in agricultural production. After these measures, the southern Xiongnu, regardless of the upper and lower levels, were effectively controlled by Cao Cao. History records from then on, "Shan Yu was obedient, named Wang Jichang (the kings of the Xiongnu tribes bowed their heads and saluted), and the tribes (the troops) served and served, the same as the editors (general civilians), the frontier was cleared, the people were sent to the wild, and the farmers were diligently persuaded. , to prohibit (if you are ordered, you will do, and if you are prohibited, you will stop)”. The original situation of "Hu Di is domineering in Jie Zhangxiong (the Huns are domineering within the border of Bingzhou has been reversed.

Luochen personally participated in the inauguration of Yesuo to the Xiongnu tribes. At that time, Xu Da had discovered that Zhongping and some of his remaining regular troops were fighting for the final battle. But Luochen thinks that Jesso's appointment is more important than Xu Da's battle. So instead of going to the front line to command, he directly accompanied Jesso to take office.

More than 100,000 Xiongnu prisoners of war, led by Yesuo, walked slowly on the long grassland. There were only a hundred guards by Luochen's side, and not a single general. Huo Qubing had already been sent to Xu Da, while Yan Qing was still stranded in Chang'an City. Luo Chen walked 153 moves alone. On the long grassland, the prisoners walked a long marching route. In the front, far behind and forgetting, all the way to the horizon, there are soldiers walking on foot like black-spotted ants. There were also horses, probably because they performed better in POW camps. The damage to the horses in the Grassland War was huge, and probably less than half of the people got horses. These Hun soldiers, who were fierce and vicious before, were so docile in just a few months. They followed Jesso quietly, knowing that General Jesso would send them home and lead them towards their shattered home.

Everywhere Jesso went, cheers resounded throughout the village, so much so that it completely overshadowed the falling dust. Yesuo was always extremely humble to Luochen, and kept introducing to his people: "This is Lord Luochen!" The Huns looked at Luochen with curiosity and awe, and did not dare to say that they came forward in person. This is the legendary fierce Han. Great Emperor. However, he is just like ordinary people, even more handsome and handsome than most people, showing a more heroic feeling. It's not the big, three-headed, six-armed demon that people imagined.

In any case, the Huns cheered and celebrated the return of Jesso. Whenever Luochen announced in front of the village that Jesso was the successor to Danyu, the cheers always resounded through the sky. .

Chapter 112 Qi Jiguang goes south

Lengtou Qing Qi Jiguang traveled thousands of miles and went to Jiangxia to find Fazheng. The situation along the way opened his eyes, and listening to the bragging of the boatman, the hotel bartender, and the guests along the way made him quickly understand the current situation in this country.

Obviously the current situation is a pattern of two super two strong. Two superpowers, Luochen and Cao Cao, and two relatively powerful separatist forces, Sun Quan and the Huns. Of course, the Huns lingered on and could not live much longer.

Qi Jiguang first went south to Huang Zhong in Shangyong. When Huang Zhong heard that a colonel wanted to see him, he was greatly surprised and wondered if this person was stupid, but he was surprised by the handwriting handed down by the soldiers. It turned out to be Luo Chen's own handwriting: All generals along the way should pay attention to assisting this stunned young man. Let him go to Fazheng safely! Huang Zhong was a little stunned and saw him. He found that Qi Jiguang was asking questions and was very interested.

"Yizhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. There is a lot of wood in Yizhou. Is the general ready to build ships..." Qi Jiguang seemed to be interested in shipbuilding.

"Uh..." Huang Zhong felt more and more suspicious, but he turned over and over to read Luochen's hand letter and the big seal several times. There was no problem with the font or the big seal. He had no choice but to say, "Mr. Xu Shu is already arranging the relevant matters. This matter is not yours, so don't worry about it..."

"Who is Xu Shu?" Qi Jiguang asked.

Huang Zhong's chin almost didn't fall. Since he is our military academy officer, how could he even know Xu Shu? Huang Zhong stood up immediately and said sternly, "Who are you? Who sent you here? Someone! Take it for me!"

Qi Jiguang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so how could he be captured without hesitation?

This guy doesn't think he is a captain at all, but a general!

"Grab it!" Huang Zhong shouted sharply.

Qi Jiguang had no choice but to take out Luochen's handwritten letter to Fazheng, to the effect that Qi Jiguang sent him to his side and asked him to send him to Zhou Yu's side as a low-ranking officer in the name of Liu Bei and in accordance with the practice of the Sun-Liu Alliance. exchange.

Huang Zhong saw that there was absolutely no problem with this word, and there was Luochen's personal seal behind it, and Luochen's seal as the lord of the three armies. Moreover, the way between the lines and the way of writing is completely consistent with Luochen's habit. It made Huang Zhong so confused, what the hell! How could Luochen have written these two puzzling orders for this little captain!

That Huang Zhong thought about it with his head in his arms, and suddenly thought of Chang Yuchun. This guy was suspicious at first, Luo Chen personally ordered him to arrange a post, and two months later, he was directly promoted to Zhonglang. At the beginning, this guy also looked very stupid. He had to talk about how to fight the Xiongnu. He was very interested... Huang Zhong felt that it was better to be cautious. This kid will become a general who leads the army alone in a few days. know.

Huang Zhong scratched his head and said, "This little general... Since that's the case, it's a lot of offense. You should hurry up to Mr. Fazheng's place. I'll send a boat to see you. We can’t get through, so you can only get off the boat and ride a horse. After a section of Jiangling, you can find another boat and then go to the Chibi River. The Chibi River will definitely be difficult to cross, you can disembark at this time and find Liu Bei’s office in Wu Jun~ˇ.”

Qi Jiguang saw that Huang Zhong was wary of him, and although he did not dare to arrest him, he was unwilling to answer his questions. I had to shrug my shoulders and boarded the ship after a meal.

It was already winter, and Qi Jiguang listened to the soldiers' bragging on the boat. Now Cao Cao and Zhou Yu have been fighting for a long time, but they can't win. Now Cao Jun has no advantage over Wu Jun in naval forces. It is said that Pang Tong, a famous scholar in the south, was invited to Cao Cao and put forward a series of brilliant strategies. Wu Jun can be said to be at stake.

"Oh?" Qi Jiguang was very interested, and said to the soldier who was shaking the boat, "What plan did Mr. Feng Chu come up with?"
