Li Wei is about twenty years old, tall, well-proportioned, handsome, and a pair of arrogant and spiritual eyes on his fair face. He is dressed simply and has a long sword hanging on his waist. Although he seems very humble to bow to Li Hong, his expression is wild and unrestrained, and there is always a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth. He looks like everyone in the world is invisible to him, which makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

Li Hong remembered Shen Pei, who was far away in Jizhou. Although Shen Pei was not as wild as the person in front of him, he was just like Li Wei, who was quite arrogant, and the kind of conceit buried in the bones of scholars. Li Hong remembered Tao Qian, who was far away in Luoyang. Will this person be as arrogant and arrogant as Tao Qian?

As Li Hong was promoted, his official position became bigger and bigger, and he came into contact with more and more scholars from wealthy and poor families. However, he felt that Liu Yu was the most humble and approachable. The kind old man was like a farmer busy in the fields, without any airs, and he could not tell that he was a famous scholar full of knowledge. When he was in Jizhou, the scholars and bureaucrats in Yingtao City had no mind or spirit at all, and they did not allow the Hu people who saved their lives to come to the city to avoid the wind and cold. Li Hong looked down on them and thought they were studying.

Reading scriptures made people read the brains of people and doing things. He was not so affectionate. He was very disgusted with them. When he arrived in Xiliang, it was probably because of the relationship between the border counties. Han and Hu people lived a lot of mixed things. The scholars in Xiliang were tolerant of the Hu people. Although they also hated and despised these barbarians and Qiangs, Li Hong thought they had done a good job. He had contacted Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Fu Xie, and felt that the famous scholars with reputation were far from comparable to those mediocre and incompetent people, regardless of their knowledge or character.

While asking Li Wei to sit down, Li Hong smiled and said, "The war has just ended, there are many things to do. Please forgive me if you are negligent."

Li Wei smiled and said, "You are polite. You are leading the army to wipe out June Jinglei and his Qiang-Hu coalition forces, severely damaged the rebels, and made great contributions. The subordinates will congratulate you here first."

Li Hong couldn't understand what he was saying, and only heard a few nice tone. He turned to look at Zhao Yun standing behind him. Zhao Yun knew what he wanted to ask, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "The accent of Lord Li seems to be from Wujun, Yangzhou. Do you understand, sir?"

Li Hong shook his head and asked softly, "Do you know what he is talking about?"

Zhao Yun leaned into his ear and whispered: "He congratulated the adults on winning the battle. He spoke in Zhongyuan dialect, but his hometown has a strong accent, so you can't get used to it. The adults listen to a few more words and will understand slowly."

At this time, Li Wei had already seen that Li Hong could not understand his words, so he slowly said word by word: "Xiaguan is from Wujun, Yangzhou. Although he has been in Luoyang for two or three years, my hometown has a strong accent and has never been able to speak Zhongyuan dialect well." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "There is no way, it is difficult for scholars to speak, and the accent is even more difficult to change."

After he said it was slow, Li Hong understood a little bit, and he smiled bitterly: "We can win miserably in the Yicheng Battle, which is purely a lucky chance. The Qiang people and the rebels are strong, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in battle..." He suddenly remembered the dead fists, the heroic Fu Xie, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who were sleeping under the soil, his heart was suddenly in pain, and tears immediately soaked in his eyes. He choked and couldn't speak, and quietly wiped away two rolling tears.

Li Wei looked at Li Hong with admiration and looked sad. A bloody leopard famous all over the world actually burst into tears in front of a stranger. Who can believe it? It seems that this is also a bloody and straightforward man.

Li Hong calmed down for a moment and said, "My brother died too much in this battle, and it is difficult for me to control my emotions. I just lost my composure and made you laugh at me."

Li Wei bowed and said, "Mr. He values ​​affection and righteousness, and his subordinates admire him." He then asked, "Mr. He is busy with military affairs, and I wonder what is going to find a subordinate?" He is a county magistrate in charge of education in Hanyang County Government, and has nothing to do with the military affairs, so he is very surprised, what will happen to the General of the Central Army to find him?

Li Hong said: "Mr. Fu's son is Fu Gan, and he is currently in Yicheng. I heard that Mr. Fu once entrusted this child to his master Bo Yanghui. Yanghui wants to fight with Lord Fu, so he entrusted Fu Gan to you, right?"

Li Wei suddenly realized that Li Zhonglang was looking for him for Fu. He hurriedly said, "What the adults said is not bad. Lord Yang and I like to play chess and drink. We get along with each other and become confidants. Before he went to the battle, he entrusted Lord Fu's child to me, hoping that I would send this child to the royal palace in Linjing, Anding, and be a teacher. Mr. Wang and my teacher are the same schoolmates and old friends for many years. After I arrived in Xiliang, I visited several times and were more familiar with Mr. Wang. Now Lord Fu and Lord Yang have sacrificed their lives for the country. Of course, I will do my best to do what they had entrusted during their lifetime. Please rest assured."

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, don't misunderstand. I am not urging you or worrying that you won't be able to do this. Instead, I want to ask you if you have any help? Lord Fu said honestly and was penniless after his death. You sent Fu Gan to become a famous teacher. How can you solve the problem of the academic funds in recent years?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. I am worried about this matter. After all, I am a junior of Mr. Wang. If you can ask him to accept Fu Gan, the teacher has already given you great face. If you ask the teacher to waive the school, it will be a bit difficult to say. Will sir be willing to help solve it?"

Li Hong said seriously: "Is Lord Li rich? Over the years, plus Fu Gan's daily expenses, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Does Lord Li have it too..."

Li Wei was startled and said with a smile: "Sir, are you telling a joke. If I am corrupt and abused the law, why bother to suffer in this Western Xinjiang? I would have gone to Luoyang long ago." Then he stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fugan, a senior official."

Li Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Before Lord Li sent Fu Gan to Anding, come to me and you will get as much as your school needs. You'd better come here in the next few days."

Li Wei thanked again and smiled, "Sir, are you in a hurry to leave? Do you want to continue attacking the rebels?"

Li Hong's face darkened and he sighed, "I, the General of the Qiang Protector, can't be the leader of the Qiang for a few days."

Li Wei looked at him in confusion.

"Before the war, I had ordered all the corrupt officials and their families detained in Huaili Camp to behead them." Li Hong said, "This matter probably has caused a sensation in Luoyang." Li Hong looked at Li Wei who was shocked and smiled, "You should know what my fate is, so you should take away the money as soon as possible while I was still in the military affairs of Xiliang. Take a little more, anyway, it will be spent on military funds."

Li Wei bowed to Li Honggong and sighed, "Sir, I am really the most cruel official of my Han Dynasty."

Li Hong said indifferently: "Isn't it just a few thousand people? What's the big deal? Look at how many people I killed yesterday? I killed tens of thousands of people, and I still care about so many thousands of people. The cruel officials are cruel officials, and they are the best in the Han Dynasty after all."

Li Wei was so impressed that he was overwhelmed.

Li Hong continued, "Mr. Li, is the Mr. Wang you mentioned very famous in Xijiang? I have been in Xijiang for five or six months, why haven't I heard of it?"

Li Wei widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, as if he was looking at an idiot. Li Hong was embarrassed to show him, smiled awkwardly, and turned to look at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun whispered: "The famous scholar of Xiliang, this Mr. Wang should be ranked first."

Li Hong complained gently: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhao Yun was silent. He thought to himself that this was not a big military matter, so what did you tell you to do? It’s time to find trouble if you have nothing to do.

"Have you heard of Ma Rong?" Li Wei looked at Li Hong with unhappy and asked.

Li Hong nodded. Ma Rong was the congregation of Ma Yuan, a famous general of this dynasty. He was well-versed in ancient and modern classics and was known as "Confucianism" in the world.

"There are two other people who are as famous as Ma Rong, one is Wang Fu from Anding in Xiliang and the other is Zhang Heng from Nanyang." Li Wei said, "This Mr. Wang is Wang Fu's son."

Li Hong said in surprise: "Oh, his father is as famous as Ma Rong, then Mr. Wang's father must be a very amazing person."

"Yes, the old man is honest by nature and is unruly. He can't stand the bad habits in the officialdom and never served in the office in his life. The old man is knowledgeable and well-known, well-versed in classics, lived in seclusion in the country and wrote books and talked about the ways to govern the country and safeguard the people." Li Wei said with admiration, "The old man is a great scholar in the northwest border. He and Ma Rong, Zhang Heng, Cui Yuan and other great scholars are all close friends, and they are also close friends of General Huangfu's late uncle General Huangfu. When General Huangfu was lifted from his post, he returned home, but the prefect came, and he was still in shock. When Wang Fu arrived, the general was shocked, and he couldn't take his clothes, walked out to greet him, helped him in, and sat together happily."

"The old man is unwilling to let his spirit be bound by the world, nor is he willing to let his pure ideals collide with dirty reality, so he is willing to be a hermit and call himself "Qianfu". The old man lost his life's energy and wrote a huge and systematic work called "Qianfu Theory". In the book, he criticized and proposed ways to improve the political, economic, cultural, military, customs and social life of the Han Dynasty. Mr. Wang has his own unique views and opinions on the affairs of Xiliang." Li Wei said, "He put forward many suggestions for stabilizing and developing Xiliang."

Li Hong suddenly became interested, and he hurriedly asked, "Does Mr. Li know what Mr. Wang has to do to manage Xiliang?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "My teacher, Lord Zhu Jun, once traveled to Xiliang to learn strategies for governing the country by his teacher Wang Fu and Wang. Speaking of which, I am still Mr. Wang's disciple, of course I know. Do you want to listen?"

"I am willing to listen, I am willing to listen." Li Hong smiled. "The matter in Xiliang is very complicated. I really want to know Mr. Wang's high opinion."

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Xiliang is the western border of the Great Han Kingdom. Of course, the governance of Xiliang is inseparable from the governance of the Great Han Kingdom. So I will talk about the old man's strategy on governing the country first. What do you think?"

"This is the best." Li Hong said with a smile, "It's just that Lord Li is exhausted."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said slowly: "After the middle of this dynasty, foreign relatives were in power, eunuchs were tyrannical, and the government was corrupt and dark. Especially after Emperor An, he used military forces against ethnic minorities such as Qiang, Xianbei, and frequent floods and droughts, resulting in the emptiness of the national treasury, poor people and poor money, and starvation. The old man believes that in this case, to restore the might of the Han Dynasty, we must respect the virtuous and capable people, innovate the administration of officials, pay equal attention to farmers, industry and commerce, and oppose extravagance and pleasure, and pay attention to immigration and guarding the border on population issues."

Li Hong hurriedly said, "Can Mr. Li tell me in detail?"

Li Wei smiled and explained, "The old man always adhered to the theory of cosmic generation based on qi. He believed that all natural phenomena were 'what qi did'. In terms of the relationship between heaven and man, the old man believed that 'the good and bad fortune of mortals should be based on behavior and decisiveness', and emphasized the importance of man. In terms of understanding things, the old man opposed the saints and prophets' saying that he believed that even the most saints were not born to know, and he could do anything by birth."

Li Hong said loudly: "Yes, yes, the old man said it well. Did Saint Confucius know everything when he was born? But now many people talk about Saint Confucius, as if Saint Confucius was born as a Saint, no one could say anything disobedient. The old man said it well. You continue, and then say."

Li Wei seemed to be disgusted with him and looked at him dissatisfiedly, continuing: "The old man emphasized that 'the country is based on the people', advocated morality, politics and education, but also proposed to pay attention to the rule of law. He advocated that the king should 'follow the heart of heaven', that is, to follow the heart of the people. Based on this premise, the old man proposed the theory of enriching the people in terms of economy, and regards the prosperity of the people as the first righteousness."

Li Hong became more and more interested.

"Really? What the old man really said?" Li Hongyi slapped the table and said loudly, "Mr. Wang said it so well. If the people are rich, how can the country be rich?"

Zhao Yun was also listening carefully. When he saw Li Hong slamming the table excitedly, he quickly frowned and reminded: "Mr. Li seems unhappy."

"You said, you said." Li Hong raised his hand to apologize and said embarrassedly, "The old man said how to enrich the people?"

"The old man advocates that agriculture, industry and commerce should be given equal importance to agriculture and commerce. Since ancient times, our Han Dynasty has always been a saying that agriculture is the end of commerce. However, the old man believes that agriculture, industry and commerce have their own roots and ends, not that all agriculture are the roots and ends, and all industry and commerce are the bottom. Agriculture, industry and commerce each stick to its roots and the people are rich, and each is separated from its roots and the people are poor. The "foundation" mentioned by the old man refers to the main business, main business, main business, farming, and commerce, that is, agricultural, medicinal, and currency; the so-called end is the last business of agriculture, industry and commerce, that is, traveling, clever decoration, and selling strange things. The old man proposed that agriculture, industry and commerce all have the roots and ends. Although it has a great effect on the people's wealth, it has been criticized by many scholars and scholars because it violates the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Li Wei paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The old man strongly advocates the education of morality and politics. He attaches great importance to education of the people. He believes that education of the people is not only the basis for establishing a country, but also the foundation for improving the moral sentiment of the Han people, making the social atmosphere simple and stable social order. He believes that the king must observe the people's education, so that customs can change customs and bring peace to the world. The old man believes that education also has a distinction between the main and the end of the world. He said that only by educating people with integrity and inducing them to be good can they not violate the law and discipline. On the contrary, if the education of evil and evil is to "learning lust is to deceit and false", it will corrupt the integrity of the society and be unfavorable to the stability and prosperity of the Han country."

"Ma Rong and Zhang Heng and other great scholars believed that the old man's advocate of strengthening education of the people was inherited from the views of his predecessors, but the old man's education also had a distinction between the main and the last, which was unprecedented and a great innovation."

There was a silence in the military tent, and the three of them were thinking about Wang Fu's theories and opinions.

=

"Mr. Li, can you tell me more about the old man's method of managing Xiliang?" Li Hong thought for a long time and asked slowly.

Li Wei nodded and said, "If the adults have been in the military and political affairs of Xiliang, and the old man's method, they will definitely be able to stabilize Xiliang within ten years and let the people of Xiliang live a good life."

"Mr. Wang is a border citizen of Xiliang. In "Qianfu Theory", he specially used four chapters to discuss the border problems of the empire. The old man named it "persuading generals", "rescue borders", "border discussions" and "real borders". The old man believed that it was wrong to take the policy of abandoning border areas and forcing border residents to move in the war with foreign tribes such as Qiang. This policy of retreat not only brought great losses to the lives and property of the people in the border areas, but also created opportunities for the enemy."

"The old man believes that the Qiang people outside the Great Wall have repeatedly invaded and the Qiang people in the entire Western Liang, and the great rebellion of the Han people is that the Han Dynasty adopted the wrong policy of abandoning Liangzhou from the beginning. This policy of reconciliation and retreating was initially proposed by the ministers and ministers at that time when the Qiang people rebelled during the Yongchu period of Emperor Xiao'an. For their own personal gain, they actually proposed a compromise method of abandoning Liangzhou and refusing the three auxiliary insurance."

Li Hong immediately became very interested in Li Wei's words.

"Mr. Li, I remember that when Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu and others rebelled, Situ Cui Lie proposed to give up Liangzhou. It turns out that this retreat strategy still has a history."

"Yes." Li Wei said, "Mr. Fu Xiefu, who was the Confessionate son at that time, was furious in the court and shouted loudly: 'Behead Situ, the world will be safe!' Because of this, Lord Fu was nicknamed Fu Crazy. The people of Xiliang were deeply harmed, so they hated this method."

"The emperor later summoned Lord Fu and asked him why he was in the court to scold Lord Cui Lie, who was ranked among the third Duke. Lord Fu said that when Emperor Xiaohui was Emperor Xiaodu, the Xiongnu Changdun Shanyu violated the Han Dynasty. General Fan Kuai exonerated it slightly, and General Ji Bu still said: "Fan Kuai can be killed." Now Liangzhou is in the world and is the vassal of the country. When Emperor Gaozu first became a leader, he appointed General Li Shang as the commander of Longxi, and was responsible for pacifying the northern county. Emperor Xiaowu opened the border and surrendered King Hunxi in the second year of Yuanshou. In the first year of Taichu, he established two counties of Jiuquan and Zhangye. In the fourth year of the Xiongnu Xiutu king, he established the territory of Wuwei County. In the first year of Houyuan, he divided Jiuquan and Dunhuang County. All these measures were to cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu and beat the attack.

The road to the northwest of the Han Dynasty and stabilize the border of the northwest of the Han Dynasty. Now the Mu Yu officials in the border counties have been corrupt and inseparable, causing rebellion in the entire Liangzhou Governor's head. Cui Lie, as the prime minister, did not want to consider a strategy for the country to suppress rebellion, but instead wanted to abandon a territory of thousands of miles. The ministers were puzzled in private. If the Qiang people were allowed to occupy Liangzhou with their hair and left-breasted captives, they would be strong and therefore in chaos, this is the most worry of the world and the deep worry of the country! If Cui Lie did not know that this was the most powerful, it was his stupidity; if he knew this and said such words, it was his disloyal! It was precisely because of Lord Fu's straightforward advice that the emperor and the ministers made up their minds to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou."

Li Hong nodded repeatedly, feeling heavy, and exclaimed: "Mr. Fu's loyalty and wiseness are admired by generations."

The three people in the tent thought of Fu Xie and sighed.

Li Hong suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, then do you know why my great man adopted this kind of compromise strategy against Western Xinjiang?"

Li Wei pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Our Han adopted the strategy of giving up against Xiliang, which started after Emperor Guangwu, the Emperor Shizu, restored his dynasty. This is very different from the style of the Han Empire founded by Emperor Gao, especially the heroic spirit of Emperor Xiaowu who attacked the Xiongnu in the north and opened up the Western Regions."

"In terms of national strength, this dynasty is not inferior to the former Han Dynasty. Moreover, this dynasty once used a small army and a few brave envoys to successfully force Wang Mang to betray the Han Dynasty and surrender to the Western Regions countries that had betrayed the Han Dynasty and surrendered to the Huns again. This was the great achievement created by Ban Chao, the youngest son of Mr. Ban Biao, a master of this dynasty and historian. When he was young, he was unwilling to inherit his father's business and be a literati like his elder brother Ban Gu, so he threw away his pen and put on his military uniform. In addition, the nephew of Dou Rong, the Marquis of Anfeng, this dynasty, Guangluxun, the commander of Che Dugu, his great-grandson, and the general of the foreign relative Dou Xian, all defeated the Huns and treason in the Western Regions in the dynasty of Emperor Xiaoming and Emperor Xiaohe, and achieved brilliant victory."

"Geographically, these conquered areas were still in the northwest of Liangzhou, and the Han Dynasty also set up administrative agencies and garrison areas in these areas. In addition, the Qiang people living in Liangzhou had a much-developed civilization, tribal population and armed forces lagged far behind in the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. The old man said in "Qianfu Theory" that when the Qiang people began to rebel, "the party members were not formed, the people were not united, the weapons were not prepared, or they held wooden branches, or fought with empty hands, and the grass was scattered, and there was no governor, which was very easy to break." He also said: "The enemy may hold a bronze mirror to look at weapons, or carry chopping boards to look like shields, and they were afraid of disturbances and failed to stalemate."

"But why can't my great man deal with such a weak enemy? Why are we willing to let the Qiang people disrupt Liangzhou, cut off the passage to the western part of the great man again, and lost the vast territory built by Ban Chao, Dou Xian and countless soldiers with their lives and blood? Why are even the great men of my Western Liang participating in the rebellion in Liangzhou now?"

"It will take three feet of ice to freeze for a day. In summary, we must first trace back to the state-building posture of Emperor Guangwu, the Emperor of Shizu."

"Emperor Guangwu is not from Guanzhong. His hometown Nanyang is very close to Luoyang. After ascending the throne, he entered Luoyang. He believed that a good country did not necessarily focus on expanding territory and borders as a cause, but achieved the state of moral governance. Emperor Guangwu once lamented that his territory was not vast enough, but the Grand Tutor Deng Yu warned him, 'The rise of ancient times was based on virtue and thickness, not on size.'"

"At that time, a man named Du Du wrote a "On the Capital Fu" to the emperor, saying that Guanzhong is a powerful weapon to guard the country and cannot be vacant for a long time. Some old ministers from the homeland also stood in the west and proposed to move the capital to Chang'an. Emperor Guangwu was unwilling to move the capital. He sent rumors that Luoyang had discovered auspicious auspiciousness such as the phoenix and phoenix, which dispelled the bureaucrats' idea of ​​moving the capital. Because Emperor Guangwu believed in the theory of prophecy and divination, this theory believed that the rise and replacement of emperors in the world were in the order of the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The Han Dynasty

It was inherited by the virtue of fire, and fire and water were incompatible, so the court ordered that all the characters Luo in Luo be written as "Luo". Until Emperor Xiaozhang, some people missed Chang'an, so the court asked Ban Gu to write a "Fu of Two Capitals". When comparing the two capitals, he deliberately raised the image of Luoyang. The capital of the Han Dynasty remained in Luoyang, but the Han Dynasty lost the benefits of Guanzhong from then on, so that people gradually forgot Guanzhong, and Guanzhong gradually declined and fell because it could not get the benefits of Guandong culture and economy."

"You can give up the old capitals of Guanzhong, let alone the more distant Liangzhou?"

Li Hong and Zhao Yun suddenly realized.

Li Wei said: "Mr. Wang believes that to completely solve the Xiliang problem, if we want to consolidate border defense and consolidate the internal affairs of our Han Dynasty, we must first solve the population problem of Xiliang. We should appropriately migrate part of the mainland population to border counties."

"The old man believes that land is the foundation of the people and cannot be abandoned all the time, otherwise it will attract the enemy's spy. Nowadays, the border of the Han Dynasty has thousands of miles. Take Liangzhou as an example. Each county has two counties, with only more than a hundred households. The prefectures are surrounded by thousands of miles, and there are no one living in it. A large number of fertile land is abandoned and no one is ploughed. On the other hand, the fields of the Central Plains are set limits, and farming cannot be crossed. Sili and Jizhou and other large counties live in millions of households. Many people have no land to plant, with a large population and a small land, and there is no place to establish a foothold. This is the problem of very unbalanced distribution of land and population. The Zhou Book says: There are more land and few people, and no production is called empty land, which is easy to be occupied. There are few land and many people, and the people cannot get work, and the country is easy to be exhausted. Therefore, the people and the land must be commensurate."

"The old man believes that the entire Xiliang area now has a population of only 500,000 and 600,000 people, which is too small. We need to recruit strong soldiers, craftsmen and peasants from various prefectures and counties, and move the Xiliang counties to enrich the border. This can stabilize the Han Dynasty and reduce the wars in the border counties, and the second is to make the stability of the Central Plains. For example, it is like a family who encounters robbery, and must let the elderly, weak, women and children stay in the center, and let strong men guard them. People living in the mainland cultivate and accumulate wealth, and people living in the border areas defend against external threats, help each other, and support each other, so that peace can be shared."

"Now, there are many wars and labor on the borders of Xiliang and other countries, and the labor force will be severe. If the people are not careful, they will suffer disasters. Therefore, everyone fled their homes one after another, so that the population of border counties is becoming increasingly sparse. If proper policies are not implemented and disasters are eliminated, and the people are persuaded to return to their hometown as soon as possible, over time, the border counties in Liangzhou may no longer belong to the Han Dynasty. Now, there are bandits and rebellions in our Han Dynasty, and there are Qiang people in the northwest and Xianbei people in the north always spy on the wealth and land of the Han Dynasty. This is really the biggest worry for our Han Dynasty."

Li Hong was stunned and speechless for a while.

"Immigration and guarding the border is indeed a good way to cure the war in Xiliang and a once-for-all solution, but it is a long-term strategy. Far water cannot save the near fire. Now, the matter in Xiliang is very complicated, and I hope to get a way to temporarily stabilize Xiliang. Does Mr. Wang have any suggestions on this?"

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Strictly speaking, the riots of the Qiang people were rebellion because it was a national problem within the Han Empire, not a border trouble caused by the invasion of foreign ethnic groups. The Han Kingdom was very contradictory to the national problems within the territory. On the one hand, the Han Kingdom regarded them as a kind of person, believed that it was the responsibility to appease them and give them all kinds of conveniences, hoping that they would surrender to the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, they felt that they were the burden of the Han Dynasty and wanted to give them up. This volatile policy of the Han Kingdom made the Qiang people at a loss. In addition, the hatred and contempt of our Han people for hundreds of years, and the extreme corruption of the administration finally triggered a rebellion."

"If people are confused, they will easily divide. Although the rebels in Xiliang have plundered countless lands, they are all new occupations, and they do not have a stable rule, and they are easily turbulent. The people in Xiliang have just left their hometown and must miss them very much, and the people's hearts are easy to gather. This time, the imperial court won a great victory and defeated the main force of the rebels. Taking advantage of this opportunity, if you can be lenient for a while, the people of all ethnic groups in Xiliang will rest and rest and settle down. The long-term stability of Xiliang is not difficult to achieve. Even if you belong to the Qiang people and the Han people, there is no way to take advantage of it. The Zhou Book said well, 'All those saints must follow the time', and wise people must know how to seize the opportunity. Therefore, the strategy of restoring Xiliang after the war should be determined as soon as possible to prevent the rebels from making a comeback."

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li means that Mr. Wang has not provided us with ready-made solutions?"

Li Wei nodded and smiled and said, "Sir, there will always be a way to stabilize Xiliang. The key is to have a permanent way to stabilize Xiliang."

The curtain suddenly opened, Zheng Xin rushed in and said loudly: "Sir, Zuo Sima Laishu, Jingzhao Yingai led his army to surround Huaili Camp, threatening to kill the rebels."

"Rebellion?" Li Hong asked strangely, "Who is rebellious? Am I? Zuo Sima Ke killed all the corrupt officials in the camp?"

"Kill." Zheng Xin said, "It is precisely because of killing that..."

"Zilong, take the Black Panther Yicong and immediately rushed to Huaili Camp and escort Zuo Sima, the old man and more than a thousand brothers to Zixiushan Camp immediately. Whoever dares to stop him will kill him right away."
Chapter completed!
