In history, the Three Kingdoms had their own sufferings, the Nanban faced by Shu was a group of troublemakers who could not be destroyed at all, and the Shanyue faced by Wu was a group of stubborn guerrillas, as for Wei, needless to say, the Hu people in the north and west were great enemies.

However, fortunately, the three kingdoms were all killed from the cruel era of the late Han Dynasty, and although the national strength was weak, they all attached great importance to military affairs. It is the weak national strength of the entire Han Dynasty that has become a situation, and foreigners still can't take any advantage.

"I don't know if the lord wants to completely control the Nanban, or?" Jia Xu asked.

"Naturally, it's in complete control! There is no room for uncertainty under my command. Anyway, I don't plan to attack the Central Plains in the next few years, and I have time to clean them up. Yuan Shu said arrogantly without hesitation.

Looking at Yuan Shu's arrogant little expression, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched.

I know that asking is also asking in vain, and my lord doesn't know what concession and compromise are. Is it really good to be so domineering? If it weren't for the abundant capital, this game would have been finished a long time ago.

Xun You glanced at Jia Xu, and there was a sentence in his eyes: Isn't it the same as asking in vain if you ask this?

Jia Xu looked back: I haven't been here for a long time, so I'll give it a try.

The corners of Xun You's mouth twitched: Do you still need to try this? Don't you know how this was done before?

Jia Xu rolled his eyes: Seeing is believing. The devil knows if those previous actions were not your idea.

The corner of Xun You's eyes twitched: How could we, the strategists, choose this path for this goods? We don't have a hole in our brains like this thing.

Looking at his two strategists, Yuan Shu's forehead was full of black lines: "I said, what are you two thinking?" How it feels as if I'm thinking about something bad. ”

"It's okay, my lord, you think too much." The two said in unison.

Looking at the two embarrassed goods, Yuan Shu sighed helplessly.

Why are the most relied on by his subordinates such unreliable goods, after Jia Xu came, he quickly got along with Guo Jia and Xun You.

Xun You and Guo Jia have a low sense of presence and a lazy skin, while Jia Xu has a low sense of presence and laziness, which happens to be a combination of two people.

"I said, can you two think about what to do with those brutes with holes in their brains? Or just knock them all down like Shanyue? Yuan Shu looked at the two of them obviously distracted again, and had to return to the topic.

Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shu as if he was a fool. The complexity of the terrain in the south of Yizhou is completely incomparable to Jiangdong, and the situation between the cave masters of the Southern Barbarians is far more complicated than that between the mountains and Yue, if you really do this according to Yuan Shu's idea, you must at least send 100,000 troops to stay in those barren mountains and mountains that are mostly smoke miasma for a few years.

Back then, Yuan Shu was able to easily settle Shanyue, and the coincidences and opportunities were not small. It is basically impossible to replicate that kind of victory, and the southern part of Yizhou is basically under the control of the barbarians, no, the army entering is simply a lone army, in case it is embarrassing to be set up by using the terrain.

"My lord, if we dominate the world in the future, do you plan to deal with the Hu people in the north like this?" Jia Xu said helplessly.

"Can't you?" Yuan Shu asked rhetorically.

Jia Xu rolled his dead fish eyes and looked at Yuan Shu speechlessly.

Unable to stand Jia Xu's eyes, Yuan Shu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay!" I'm kidding. I'm not that stupid. ”

If it was so easy to conquer a foreign race, the Great Han would not have been harassed by the foreign race for so many years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only defeated the Northern Xiongnu back then, and he was far away from the rest of the country, and he could not completely eliminate it at all.

Shanyue can be managed by Yuan Shu because Jiangnan itself is not a place where the mountains are as continuous as the southern Yizhou or the grasslands in the north, which are not suitable for the Han people.

Think about it after the Tang and Song dynasties, didn't Jiangnan slowly become the land of fish and rice later? The grasslands in the south and north of Yizhou have never been really controlled, and at most they are occupied in name.

The greatest skill of the Han people is farming, so China's territory has always been limited to this land surrounded by mountains, Gobi and grasslands, and has never been able to expand further.

"Lord, it is impossible for the barbarians to be tamed by us in a short period of time, unless you can bulldoze all the mountains in the south of Yizhou." Jia Xu said rationally.

The rugged mountains in the south of Yizhou are not suitable for the Han people to survive at all, and if all the barbarians are tamed, then it is useless to take that place.

You can't arrange for the people to survive there, does it make sense to just garrison the army? Over time, new barbarian forces will naturally emerge, and this is completely meaningless and meaningless.

"I know that, that's why I asked you what to do!" Yuan Shu spread his hands.

"For these barbarians, they must be suppressed and enticed, and the most important thing is to control their upper echelons and rule the barbarians with barbarians."

Yuan Shu had a black line on his face: "I understand all this, to be specific, how to control their upper echelons?" ”

"Well, I haven't figured that out yet. We'll need to hear more about the barbarians, so we can plan it. Jia Xu said very shamefully.

Thinking about the various descriptions of Nanban in his impression, Yuan Shu said: "Those people should be very worshipful of the strong, and they are xenophobic, similar to the Huns." However, they are more outspoken and committed. ”

Jia Xu said: "Worship the strong and re-promise? If that's the case, maybe we'll be able to convince them all. ”

"However, in the eyes of the barbarians, we and other Han people are cunning and weak, and I am afraid it is not so simple to convince them." As a member of the Xun family, Xun You knows a lot of things about Nanban and tells the key to it.

"Looks like we'll have to establish credibility among the barbarians!" Yuan Shu muttered.

If it is not my race, its heart will be punished, and it is not so simple to make Nanban willingly obey the management.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu thought of a good idea: "What do you think about establishing credibility and taming aliens through merchants?" ”

"Merchant?" Jia Xu and Xun Yu were puzzled.

It's obviously about the strategy of domination, but how did it get to the businessman?

Yuan Shu said confidently: "You and others think that Nanban is just a burden, and he can't provide money and food, as long as he doesn't make trouble, right?" But you can see that there is also a lot of wealth in those dangerous mountains. ”

"Most of the alien races invade us either to survive or to covet our abundance. So as long as we give them a better living environment and a way to earn wealth, presumably they will not be so hostile to us. ”

"Although the mountains in the south of Yizhou are not suitable for farming, they can raise livestock, and there are many exotic beasts and medicinal herbs in them, as long as the trade route is established, the barbarians can rely on their own efforts to become rich. After a long time, there will naturally be no more rebellion, and it will slowly integrate into our Han people. ”

Unlike Jia Xu and others, Yuan Shu knew that war was not only a war on the surface, but also a variety of economic, cultural, and religious wars.

Among them, the most useful is economic warfare. The productivity of these alien races can't support themselves at all, which is why they are so wolf-like.

Yuan Shu's current idea is to use commerce to increase their productivity and make them rich, and over time, it will naturally eliminate their wolf nature, and slowly be assimilated by the long-standing culture of the Han people.

Cang Liao is full of etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace.

Why has alienation always been a big problem and has not been integrated into the Han nationality? The fundamental reason is that they do not have enough to eat and cannot create much profit, so they can only rely on the Han people to provide assistance. And the Han people were not willing to provide for them for free, and the conflict naturally broke out after a long time.
