This thought is a day.

Until the evening, Xin Er tossed and turned on the couch, still thinking about what to do to effectively restrain the small people who were dialed to him. Thinking about it until the middle of the night, an idea flashed, and he found a way.

After coming to this era, Cast Huzhong, break He Gan, capture the Red Slave, and set the five departments, which made them turn the danger into safety, and the important decisions that repeatedly broke the situation were all from Linghu Feng, Xin Er and so on, at this time, after hard thinking, he came up with a solution to the problem alone, he was very happy, sat up and wanted to find someone to talk about happiness, only the ugly who was curled up on the corner felt sleeping in the tent, but he couldn't say.

He had to lie down again, open his eyes to the dark roof, and relive the method he had come up with.

He said in his heart: "Although my method has a place to learn from Linghu Feng, the second half is all my own imagination. There is a way that is 'wise and brave', only relying on swords, bows and arrows to ride, can only save my life, at most like Cao Fei, as a human eagle dog, in the future, I will use my brain more. ”

With the rise of his status in Hubu, the reduction of the external danger factor, and perhaps a little subconscious concern for Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandchildren, he unconsciously increased his requirements for himself.

If you have a good plan, you can fall asleep. I didn't sleep until dawn and didn't wake up until dawn.

When she woke up, Xin Er hadn't gotten out of bed yet, she only stretched her waist, and the sleeping ugly was shocked, she rubbed her eyes, hurriedly got up, took hot water, took toiletries, and served them on her knees.

Liu Zhuang had already arrived outside the tent, waiting for his call.

Xin Er washed up and stopped, invited Liu Zhuang in, and said, "Liu Weng, didn't you have to come over every day?" ”

"Waiting for everyone's orders is what the villain should do."

"You! Let me say what is good. ......, I haven't asked you yet, are you used to eating and eating snacks in Huzhong? ”

Liu Zhuang said gratefully: "Habitual, how can you not be used to it!" The villain and Xiaoxiao couldn't eat a meal of bran for two days before, but now it's meat and milk, and they can't think about it. Tiny last night, a man nibbled on a leg of mutton! I don't know how fragrant it is. ”

imagined Liu Le holding the leg of mutton without losing it, gnawing his mouth full of oil, Xin Er's heart was warm, and he smiled: "That's good." He didn't have anything to call Liu Zhuang, but Liu Zhuang came every day, and when he came, he would stand and wait for a day, and if he didn't find something to do, I was afraid that it wouldn't work, so he said, "The Lord has rewarded me with some livestock, Liu Weng, so I will ask you to take care of those slaves." ”

Liu Zhuang got an errand, and he had a backbone all over his body, and he responded happily: "Yes!" He glanced at the ugly man with two thick braids, and said in his heart, "Hu Wan is rough." He sniffed it, but although he didn't smell it, he still stubbornly judged it, and thought, "It smells bad." said, "You can't be without someone to serve, and the villain asks Xiaoxiao to come over for the villain." ”

"Little tent, I live here alone, what do I want to serve? Ugly is enough. Xiaoxiao, let her nibble on a few more leg of mutton and grow her body! In the midst of laughter, Xin Er sent Liu Zhuang out.

Liu Zhuang had not gone far when four or five Hu people of different fats and thinness, uneven heights, approached from the other side under the leadership of Bal Lianfan.

There were still one or twenty steps away from Xin Er, so Bal Lian Fan took off his hat, put it on his chest, bent his waist, and twisted his face to urge Zhu Hu: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's a cold day, don't let the adults get cold." The Tang words he said obviously hoped that Xin Er would hear it, turned his face, and said to Xin Er diligently, "Adult, please enter the account, the villain will be there soon!" ”

Xin Er stood still, looked at his heart and said: "Yesterday, Linghu Feng said that Hu Bu Xiaoshu, who ordered me to take over, came to see me today, are these people?" ”

Bald Lian Fan stopped a few steps away, instructed Zhu Hu to salute, and introduced Xin Er: "My lord, a few of them are the little ones who have been allocated to the adult's account. "Of these small rates, Xin Er knows four, two He cadres, two Chilou Dan Ministry, and only one does not know, and Bal Lianfan introduced him to him, "This is the small rate of the beggar department, called begging vigorously." ”

The remaining three small beard tribes on Zebian had already surrendered to Ballian Chinu, and after Ling Hu Feng stabilized the two tribes of He Gan and Chi Loudan, he also included them in his hands.

Xin Rong looked at the beggar twice, this person was in his thirties, with a square face and a wide mouth, a black mole on the right corner of his eye, a few long hairs on the mole, a full waist, and a cross foot when he walked, like a fat duck.

Qi Dali can speak Tang dialect, grabbed the pointed hat, took a breath and put his stomach away, bowed down and said: "The villain begging Dali, I have seen adults." "It is the custom of the Hu people to take off their hats as a sign of respect when they salute.

Xin Er said: "Let's talk in the tent." "Call them all in.

There was not enough sitting, so Ah Chou went to the Zuo's tent diagonally opposite and borrowed a few.

Bald Lian Fan was also transferred to Xin Er's subordinates as a deputy, and a total of six Hu Xiaoru sat down with him.

Bald Lian Fan and Qi nodded vigorously and sat down cautiously. The rest of the people, or pile up a little smirk, or grin, and a butt sat down, rolled their eyes, full of unruliness, this person is called Lan Baozhang, who belongs to the Chilou Dan Department.

Xin Er took their statements into account and thought, "Linghu Feng called me fierce." Prestige must be established, but it cannot be fierce when it comes up. This Lan Baozhang is very annoying, rolling his eyes, as if I owe him money, but I can't beat him without saying a word. ”

He had already figured it out yesterday that grace and power are given together, and grace is in front of authority, without grace, blindly prestige, it will only backfire.

Xin Er can only understand some simple Hu language, in Hu Zhong, and Hu people do not communicate much, at this time I can't help but hesitate, thinking about where to start, and said in my heart: "And get familiar with them, and then do something else." ”

Xin Er and Qi Dali met for the first time, and when they saw him respectfully, they decided to pick up the conversation from him, and said with a smile: "Dali, looking at your size, big shoulders and round waist, as his name suggests, he must be a famous wrestler in your department, right?" ”

The beggar pouted his buttocks vigorously, half-bent over, and said with a smile: "A little brute force, what is it!" ”

Bal Lian Fan said: "My lord's discernment, he is very famous in his department, and he can often get the ranking of the horn at the quarterly conference of the various ministries on the shore of our pig noze. ”

Speaking of Jiaojiao, this kind of competition is the love of the Hu people, and the rest of the small rates have chimed in. Some praised the beggar force, and some may have lost to him before, and they were not convinced. There are two small rates who can't speak Tang and are full of nonsense, and Bal Lianfan translates for Xin'er.

The atmosphere in the tent was warm, and the conversation was so open.

Xin Er listened to them brag and argue, and occasionally said a few sentences, and when they talked a lot, he took the opportunity to boast about how many warriors there were in his headquarters in a small way, and mentioned the business, and asked them: "The Lord has called me to be this left governor, and I don't know how many of your subordinates have fallen under them?" ”

Zhu Xiaoru answered one by one.

More than three or four hundred, less than more than 100. Although the beggar is from a small beggar department, there are many accounts under his command, more than 200 of them, I think he should be one of the small people in his department.

Xin Er calculated in his heart and thought: "It adds up to less than 1,500 drops, and one drop of five mouths is about 7,000 people." Got rid of the old and weak women and children, and the sturdy was about two thousand. Having an intuitive understanding of the number of his own parts, he said in his heart, "Although my method of restraining them must be helped by Dr. Fu to take full action, I can take advantage of the opportunity for them to gather today to blow the wind on them first and see how they react." ”

The best way to restrain Hu Mu is, of course, to establish military discipline for them, so that they can become regular troops subject to military discipline.

But this point, Xin Er can't do it, no one can do it, because this is determined by the state of the Hu people's nomadic life. Unlike the Tang people, who settled in agriculture, Hu Mu lived in pursuit of water and grass, stayed if he cooperated, went when he did not, and came and went freely, which determined that no one could forcibly discipline them. If you want to transform them into regular soldiers, you have to change their living conditions first.

If this is not the case, what can be done to restrain them, or rather, to make them willing to accept them?

The result of Xin Er's thinking was to learn from the methods of Linghu Feng to divide and win over the Chilou Danbu Xiaoru and He cadre Hu Mu to lure him.

Don't be false, be realistic, speak with "profit", and let the small rate under the account and their subordinates feel that it is profitable to follow him, then they will naturally not resist his orders, and he can restrain them a little.

Xin Er knew that such a unit could never be called an elite soldier.

Knowing what they are fighting for, the soldiers are all righteous, and the troops who are not afraid of sacrifice are the first class. There are clear rewards and punishments, and the troops who are grateful for the kindness of the commander or are afraid of the military law, and are afraid of the commander more than the enemy, are secondary. The troops who fight for profit can only be regarded as the last class, and they are no different from bandits. But in the current situation, it can only be so.

If you have ideas, you can take concrete measures.

Xin Er looked forward to the small rates in the tent, and asked with concern: "It will be deep winter next month, and it is getting colder and colder, what about your sheep, horses, cattle and camels?" Are there any frozen ones? ”

Speaking of the sorrow of the beggar force, he sighed and said: "There are few sheep and horses in the villain's department, and they can barely survive, but it has only been more than a month in winter, and it has been frozen better. I'm really worried, how will I spend next year! ”

Bald Lian Fan and others also sighed for a long time.

After the two He cadres were sad for a while, they turned their eyes to the three Chilou Dan Xiao Shui with resentment, and said in their hearts: "If it weren't for your group of evil wolves killing my people and robbing my goods, how could my department be so sad this winter!" "Although the Chilou Danbu returned some things and slaves to the He cadres, how could they spit out all the meat when they ate it in their mouths, and they returned less than half of the things they robbed.

Bald Lian Fan ignored them. Not to be outdone, Lan Baozhang stared at them with his neck stalked.

Xin Er pretended not to see them, adding to their mood, and said: "It's been gloomy for the past two days, and it is estimated that it will snowfall again, and the snow will not be small." ”

Begging vigorously to touch his stomach, he glanced out of the tent with a sad eyebrow, and said: "Yes, the villain tossed three or two times last night, look at the cloud and moon, no matter how you look at it, it will snow heavily." Alas, it's almost impossible to hold it now, and if it snows for a few more days, what will happen to the livestock. ”

The Hu people are nomadic and have their own ways of judging the weather.

Xin Er was worried and said: "If you freeze to death too much, life will not be easy in the spring of the next year." ”

The beggar's sad look became heavier, and he said, "Yes, yes." ”

He seems to be singing and harmonizing with Xiner.

Xin Er praised him in his heart and thought, "So powerful! When Bal Lianfan and the others complained for a long time, he calmly said to everyone, "I have a plan that may enable you to survive the cold winter in peace." ”
