Since the Nanjiang Department has agreed to join the Haotian Ministry, it will not be too difficult to take the west wing of the Xue Manbu Ministry.

After all, the entire western wing of the Xue Man Department has a population of 50,000 or 60,000 at most, while the Nanjiang Department alone has a population of tens of thousands.

In other words, a young man who can be pulled out by the Nanjiang Department accounts for about 20% of the western wing of the entire Xue Man Division.

And last time, nearly half of the young people pulled out by the west wing of Xue Man's department were captured by his Haotian department, and it would be good if other tribes could pull out five thousand young people at this time.

Zhao Hao estimated that it should not be a problem for the Nanjiang Department to pull out two thousand young people, if he could equip these two thousand young people with swords, guns, swords and halberds or something, then the Nanjiang Department would be enough to withstand all the other tribes on the west wing of the Xue Man's Department, and he only needed to lead the army to attack Tumeng's lair.

Of course, if you can win over more tribes, this battle will be easier.

After all, it is basically impossible for Wu Nanjiang to lead two thousand young people to clean up dozens of other tribes, and the Nanjiang Department can at most contain other tribes and prevent other tribes from participating in the war.

If that's the case, it's a long drag.

Zhao Hao pondered for a while, and then asked solemnly: "Nanjiang, if I ask you to persuade other tribes to join our Haotian Division, how many can you convince, or how many people can you persuade to join our Haotian Division." ”

This one!

When Wu Nanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He was even afraid to come to meet with Zhao Hao, for fear that others would know, if he ran to persuade other tribes to join Haotianbu, it would not be clear to tell Tu Meng that he was a traitor!

If Tu Meng knew that he was a traitor, I am afraid that the army of Haotian would be finished before he could fight.

It's really hard to do!

He frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said carefully: "If I run to persuade other tribes now, Tu Meng will definitely receive the news, because he has bought spies in various tribes." With his temperament, if he knew that I was a traitor, not only would he kill me, but our Nanjiang Department would also be unlucky! ”

This is indeed a trouble, he can't let the family take risks, Zhao Hao thought about it, and then took out a parchment roll, unfolded it, and took a brush? Dip in ink? Only then did he beckon: "Come, tell me about it?" Where is Tumeng's lair? Where is your Nanjiang Department, and what else? Do you know where the other tribes are? Tell me about it. ”

What does that mean?

Wu Nanjiang stood up curiously? When he walked up to Zhao Hao and took a look, he suddenly understood.

This is a map, a map centered on the savannah.

But now? There are no markers on the entire north side of the map.

And this piece? It should be the west wing of Xue Man's Department.

After all, the Nanjiang Department is a big tribe with a long history, and they also have a brief map, but they are not as good as Zhao Hao.

He took a closer look at the wild jungle in the north of the map, and then pointed to a place and said, "Our Nanjiang Department is roughly in this location?" It is about four or five hundred miles away from the edge of the prairie. ”

Zhao Hao heard this? Nodding slightly, he immediately picked up his pen and marked the location of the Nanjiang Department on the map.

Followed by? Wu Nanjiang pointed to a place in the center of the west wing of Xue Man's department to the east and said: "Tu Meng's nest is roughly here, about a thousand miles away from our Nanjiang department. ”

Zhao Hao nodded slightly? Then he picked up the pen and marked the mark of Tumeng.

That's it? One of the two said? A drawing, and soon, the location of the west wing of Xue Man's department on the map was full of markers.

In the end, Wu Nanjiang concluded: "The surrounding areas of Tu Meng are basically tribes that are sincerely attached to Xue Man's department, and those of us who have different intentions are almost all arranged in the south, as for the north, due to the border with the Taihua Department, there are basically no tribes, only the elite soldiers under Tu Meng's men are stationed there." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then put down the brush and said decisively: "In the spring of next year, we will organize a large army to rush to your Nanjiang Department, and at that time, you will persuade these tribes in the south to join our Haotian Department, do you think they will agree?" ”

With the protection of Haotian's army, he naturally didn't have to worry about Tu Meng's revenge.

Wu Nanjiang thought for a while, and then said slowly: "This is really hard to say, if I go and persuade them to stand on our side and don't help Tumeng, they will generally agree, to persuade them to give up their current territory and join the Haotian Department, I'm afraid it will be difficult." After all, they have been thriving in this wild jungle for hundreds or thousands of years, and as far as I know, many leaders don't want to leave their existing territory, even Tu Meng can't help this. ”

That's right.

Zhao Hao stared at the map and frowned and pondered for a while, then continued to ask: "Then I just let them join the Haotian Department, and they don't have to leave the existing territory to follow us to the prairie, will they agree?" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to move all these people to the prairie, because the western wing of Xue Man's Department was also a large territory, and he also needed people to garrison it.

These people can stay here if they want to, and he has saved a lot of cattle, sheep and horses.

When Wu Jiangnan heard this, he thought about it again, and then said carefully: "If that's the case, I think, they may agree, but if we can give them enough benefits, they will definitely agree." ”

Advantage?

Zhao Hao asked: "What are the benefits you are referring to, can you give an example?" ”

Wu Jiangnan said without thinking: "For example, cattle and sheep are what they need the most, if we promise to provide them with how many cattle and sheep every year, so that their clansmen will not go hungry, they will definitely agree to join the Haotian Ministry." ”

Cattle and sheep?

Zhao Hao asked again: "How many people are in these tribes combined?" ”

Wu Jiangnan estimated: "The total number of clansmen of these tribes is probably about 30,000. ”

About 30,000, at least 60,000 catties of meat a day are needed, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty cows or five or six hundred sheep, and in a year, it is nearly 20,000 cows or 200,000 sheep, so many people's meat, he can't afford to supply!

What to do?

Zhao Hao couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, Ji Wei was already a little unable to sit still, because Zhao Hao and Wu Nanjiang had been discussing for a long time, he was the kind of active character, and it was not bad to be able to sit for so long.

When he saw that Zhao Hao didn't seem to be able to think of a way, he couldn't help but be anxious.

If you don't say anything for a long time, how long will I have to sit here!

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" It's only 30,000 people, and I can raise it in Xiqin, can't you afford it? ”

Yes, you can exchange beef and mutton or even horses for rice!

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ji Wei with approval on his face, and then nodded solemnly: "No problem, I will help them raise these clansmen, I can guarantee that these clansmen are not hungry, but what I provide them with is not necessarily meat." ”

When Wu Nanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "It's not meat, what is it?" ”

Zhao Hao explained: "In terms of meat, I definitely can't provide so much, but I can find a way to exchange some rice with Taihuabu." Rice is also the staple food of the Taihua tribesmen, and it can fill the stomach like meat, but it is not as delicious as meat. ”

It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, as long as it can fill your stomach, since the people of the Taihua tribe can eat it, the people of other tribes can naturally eat it.

When Wu Nanjiang heard this, he nodded without hesitation and said, "That's okay, when the time comes, I'll persuade them, I think that as long as we can provide enough food, they will definitely agree to join the Haotian Ministry." ”
