The efficiency of the county guard in Liaoxi is not bad, and the information that Zhao Yi asked for was sent so quickly. Looking through the information of Liaoxi County, the description of the Qiuliju tribe is very detailed.

lists the names of Qiu Liju and others, and the names of Fu Ming and Zhanhuan are also among them, and they are still ranked in the top place, which shows that the status of the two in the Qiu Liju tribe is not low. But alas, these two people are dead. As the adopted son of Qiu Liju, Bun Dun has a very high status in Qiu Liju's department, and he is actually in the third, it seems that Qiu Liju has high hopes for this righteous son.

Zhao Yi took a general look, Qiu Liju's Wuhuan tribe and the officials of the Nanlou tribe are almost the same, they are all confidants and generals who have followed Qiu Liju for many years, and Qiu Liju also has the idea of cultivating young talents, and there are several such young people on the information, who were entrusted with important tasks by Qiu Liju at a young age.

"Qiu Liju thinks really long-term, he has just entered old age, and he began to work for his future successor in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period." Cheng Yin praised it, Qiu Liju is in power, and he will naturally give these young people a chance to hone their training, and after Qiu Liju's death, these young generals will have prestige and status in the Wuhuan tribe. When the time comes, the new superiors will use a little imperial tricks to ensure that these people will die for the new superiors.

The information only mentions the official positions of these people, but does not explain the details of these people's personalities and work styles. Zhao Yi frowned slightly, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, but he only knows one name, so how can Zhao Yi speculate on this person's character based on a name?

Only from the personality or the person's attitude towards things, Zhao Yi can see the person's weaknesses and formulate an effective plan based on a person's weaknesses.

"The Wuhuan tribe has always excluded foreigners, and it is not easy for the county guard of Liaoxi to get these materials." Wen Qin saw this and explained.

Between different races, especially in small tribes like the Wuhuan tribe, it is difficult for secret agents to insert into it. The information is not very sound, and Zhao Yi can understand it.

He sighed, and said in his heart that it seemed that the intelligence work of the Wuhuan tribe was going to be strengthened. When he put the information on the table, Zhao Yi glanced at a person's name, Lou Ban. opened the information and looked at it carefully, this floor class is Qiu Liju's youngest son, who is still young, only seven or eight years old at this time.

Zhao Yi rubbed his chin and showed a thoughtful expression: "The matter of the Qiu Liju tribe may be able to find a breakthrough from Lou Ban." "Qiu Liju will naturally snub the building class.

"Do you mean to stir up the conflict between Lou Ban and Bang Dun, so that their brothers can kill each other?" Murong Fu's brain turned extremely fast, and he directly said what Zhao Yi thought in his heart. The same method as the method of instigating the three Xianbei tribes of Kebineng stimulated internal contradictions and made the Wuhuan tribe self-defeating.

Zhao Yigang wanted to nod and praise Murong Fu's reaction, but Cheng Yin frowned and continued: "But at this time, Lou Ban is just a seven or eight-year-old child, and he is still a child." Even though he was in his position at this time, I was afraid that he did not have the intention of competing for the position of leader. ”

What Cheng Yin said made sense, and Murong kept nodding after hearing it: "Mr. is far-sighted, and the end will not be as good." "What ambitions a seven or eight-year-old child can have, and how to motivate the two of them to contradict each other is a question.

When Kangxi ascended the throne, it was a hidden danger outside, but the prince's succession did not happen. But when Yongzheng ascended the throne, there was a famous nine kings in history. It is precisely because when Kangxi ascended the throne that the princes were still young and did not have the heart to win, even if they had that mind when they became adults in the future, they could not do anything about it. However, when Yongzheng ascended the throne, all the princes were already adults, and they all had the heart to fight for power, so there was turmoil.

At this time, the children's heart of the floor slab has not faded, and perhaps the mentality will be changed when the building class grows up for a few years. Now that the situation in Youzhou is so tense, where does Zhao Yi have time to wait for a few years.

"Although Lou Ban does not have the heart to fight for power, his biological mother may not have it." Zhao Yi rolled his eyes and said, as a mother, she naturally hopes that her children can become dragons and phoenixes, especially the direct descendants of such big tribes and big families, the competition for the inheritance is no less fierce than the competition for the throne. Brothers can still turn against each other, let alone a righteous son like Badun.

Lou Ban's biological mother's maiden family is quite powerful in the Wuhuan tribe, and she may not want to succumb to it. As long as the internal contradictions of the Wuhuan tribe are provoked, even if the Wuhuan tribe cannot fall apart, as long as it can be chaotic for two years, it will be very beneficial to Zhao Yi's development in Youzhou.

"The lord is right, that woman can indeed take advantage of it. But to sow distancing such a relationship, it can only be provoked from within, and our harassment on the periphery is of no use at all. Murong Fu hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key issues. Although it is also a counter-plot, it is much more difficult for the Wuhuan tribe than the Xianbei tribe, and instigating internal contradictions can only intensify from the inside, but cannot exert pressure from the outside. If pressure is exerted from the outside, these two forces, which were originally incompatible, are likely to merge into one under the oppression of external forces and jointly resist Zhao Yi's oppression.

can only provoke the relationship between the two parties from the inside, one is that Zhao Yi sent his henchmen over to gain the trust of Lou Ban's biological mother, and told the disadvantages of Lou Ban Dun as the leader in daily life, or saw that Lou Ban's biological mother was dissatisfied with Bao Dun, and added oil and vinegar to the side, which made Lou Ban's biological mother even more disgusted with Bao Dun. The second is to develop a person of his own in the Wuhuan tribe, and the Wuhuan people will provoke the contradictions of the Wuhuan people.

Among the two implementation plans, Zhao Yi and others prefer the second plan, because the first one is quite time-consuming to act, it is a long process to gain the trust of the woman, and the person who inserts it is unlikely to contact Lou Ban's biological mother immediately.

It's easy to develop one person, but Zhao Yi doesn't know anything about the personnel around Lou Ban's biological mother, how to develop offline? It is also difficult to take action on this matter.

"At the back of the information, there is a letter of inquiry from the Liaoxi County Guard, asking us how to treat the Wuhuan tribe." Murong Fu asked.

Zhao Yi walked back and forth and said for a long time: "First open the trade between the two sides to avoid the Wuhuan tribe from invading the interior again." As for dealing with the Wuhuan tribe, we can only wait for the two sides to trade, and then act slowly. ”

After explaining the matter, Zhao Yi wrote a letter to Batu, ordering Murong Fu to hand over the letter to Batu, and told Batu the strategy for dealing with the Xianbei tribe.

After Murong Fu and the others left, Zhao Yi unfolded the map of Youzhou, with red and black markings, vividly outlining the situation of Youzhou and the surrounding tribes. There are so many people to deal with, Zhao Yi can't make a list, think about it.

The situation in Youzhou has been excellent in the past few days, Batu has agreed to Zhao Yi's plan, and has already told Zhao Yi about his intentions. The Xianbei tribe has fought with the Nanlou tribe many times, and Nanlou naturally doesn't want the Kebi Neng Department to be too strong, and Zhao Yi's strategy is in the hands of Nanlou.

Qiu Liju's last operation can be described as stealing chickens and rice, not only losing 2,000 elite troops, but also losing Fu Ming and Zhanhuan, virtuous ministers and fierce generals, and his strength has been greatly reduced. When he returned to Liaoxi County, Qiu Liju naturally did not say that it was because of his own fault that Fu Ming and Zhan Huan and others were killed, but said that Zhao Yi led superior forces to sneak attack them, and Qiu Liju led his troops to resist to the death, but because he was outnumbered, he could only be forced to break through, and encountered the volley of Zhao Yi's troops, Fu Ming and Zhan Huan desperately blocked Zhao Yi's official army, and Qiu Liju and Zhan Dun had a chance to come back alive.

Speaking like this, Qiu Liju's prestige in the tribe has not been lost, and it has also made the tribe very hostile to Zhao Yi. It's a win-win-win-win

After Qiu Liju returned to the tribe, he had already recruited all the men from the tribe who were over the age of sixteen and under the age of sixty into the army to deal with Zhao Yi's attack at any time. But he waited for seven or eight days, and Zhao Yi didn't make any movement.

Just now, the governor of Liaoxi County came to deliver a letter, explaining that Zhao Yi was willing to live in peace with the Wuhuan tribe and open up trade between the two sides.

This news made Bun Dun very surprised: "Father, do you think this could be Zhao Yi's trick?" Want to take advantage of us to let our guard down and launch a surprise attack on us? "Badun and Qiu Liju almost took Zhao Yi's life, if it were according to Badun's temper, if he was Zhao Yi, he would definitely use the strength of the whole state to fight to the death with the Wuhuan tribe. There is no reason to live in peace with one's mortal enemy.

Qiu Liju's views are a little different from those of Bun Dun, Bun Dun is an extreme person, Qiu Liju is not, and from Zhao Yi's past style, he can be sure that Zhao Yi is not such an extreme person. "No, although Zhao Yi won the repeated battles, it was extremely costly, and Zhao Yi needed time to recuperate." Qiu Liju thought about it for a while and agreed to Zhao Yi's policy. Like Zhao Yi, he also needs time, Zhao Yi recuperates, while Qiu Liju needs to train soldiers to develop his own power.

Seeing the worried eyes of Bun Dun, Qiu Liju said: "Zhao Yi is a very strategic person, our department is ready for battle, Zhao Yi must have known that if he fights a prepared enemy, even if he wins, he will suffer heavy losses." Zhao Yi would not do such a thing. He opened trade between the two sides in order to buy time, recuperate, and train soldiers. When the time comes, he will strike at us, leaving us dead with no place to bury. But it doesn't matter, Zhao Yi develops his, and we develop ours. ”

Seeing Qiu Liju's confident appearance, Badun didn't say anything more, but went down to do things.

After two months like this, Youzhou was peaceful, but the Youzhou government has undergone great changes, some of the original state officials were dismissed by Zhao Yi, and Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke were corrected by Zhao Yi.

Batu and Nanlou also did a very good job, Bu Dugen had already launched an attack on Kebi Neng, the two sides fought for three days and three nights, and finally the slightly inferior Kebi Neng failed to escape.

The Xianbei tribe was in chaos, and the border was rarely peaceful, and under Zhao Yi's policy of benefiting the people, many people had gone to the border area to cultivate.

The state capital and Xianbei were safe and sound, which made Zhao Yi's face full of joy, and the only thing that made Zhao Yi feel a headache was the Wuhuan tribe, which was a difficult bone to gnaw.

"My lord, Mr. Zhou from Fanyang County is here." Cheng Yin came in with a smile and reported.

"Please." Since Zhao Yi was promoted to Youzhou pastor, he has not seen Zhou Ping, "Do you know what Mr. Zhou came to the state capital to say?" ”

"It seems to be for the Wuhuan tribe's affairs. The specifics are also unclear. ”

Wuhuan tribe? Zhao Yi's eyes turned, could it be that he went to the Wuhuan tribe to do business? This may be an opportunity.
