Chapter 133: Pacification Strategy

After Xia Xue arrived in Qinzhou, Feng Ang transferred some local officers and soldiers from Lingnan Guidi to supplement the casualties, set up camps, and set up sand tables.

Xia Xue specially asked Feng Ang to gather a group of Lingnan wolf soldiers from Lingnan who were good at mountain warfare and jungle warfare, led by the agile Ouyang Qian. The Lingnan wolf army walks like walking on flat ground in the mountains and jungles, and it must also come in handy in this place, at least it is always better at mountain warfare and jungle warfare than ordinary officers and soldiers, this is a wonder soldier of Xia Xue.

In addition, Xia Xue also brought a surprise army of more than 30 people, a special team led by Pan Jiang, and a secret mission was given to them.

At this time, Dugu Jun came to see, he synthesized the information collected by his subordinates, and told Xia Xue one by one, Xia Xue listened while casually jotting down the main points on the paper: citing the location where the Western Plains barbarians lived, the distribution of tribes, the composition of the villages, the approximate proportion of men, women, and children, the food they like to eat, the customs, the ethnic habits, and even what festivals to celebrate, as well as the beliefs of the Zongjiao, these problems that the generals did not pay much attention to when the Western Plains barbarians were suppressed in the past, Xia Xue did not miss a little.

After listening to Dugujun's report, Xia Xue, accompanied by the guards, visited the barracks, summoned local officials, and walked around the nearby villages to feel the local customs.

After two days of understanding, Xia Xue, who never played cards according to common sense, had secretly made some calculations about counterinsurgency in her heart.

The next day, Xia Xue was summoning all the officials and generals to discuss in the tent, and a guard outside the door hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Chief Ali of Qilin City has sent an envoy to see you!" Xia Xue was surprised, she had been looking forward to it for so long, she didn't come early or late, it was the right choice at this time, she hurriedly straightened her posture and said, "Pass him on!" ”

After a while, two men walked into the door of the handsome tent, these two people were not tall, but they were very strong, with dark skin, like two fierce wild boars, their bodies were full of bits and pieces, and their hair was messy but there were a few small braids, especially conspicuous was the thick silver collar they wore around their necks, which looked like they weighed no more than eight or nine pounds.

These two people are fluent in the Chinese language, swaggered into the handsome tent, looked arrogant, swept around proudly, and stood up: "Didn't your queen come?" ”

"Bold!" The guards on both sides held down the hilt of the knife and were about to rise.

Xia Xue waved her hand and smiled, and said, "I am the queen of the angel country, what do your chiefs have to say, tell this king!" ”

Although Xia Xue is now 23 years old, she looks only about 15 years old because the aging process of human beings in the future era has been greatly delayed.

When the two barbarians saw that the angel queen turned out to be a beautiful girl about 15 years old, they couldn't help laughing, and one of them laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the queen of the angel country to be a little girl, your county magistrate Song Chao is still in our hands, he begged us to let him go, and gave us a bunch of guarantees, I asked you, can the promise he gave us be fulfilled?" ”

Xia Xue watched the two quietly and did not say a word.

Another person saw that Xia Xue was silent, thinking that she was scared silly, so he smiled and pointed at Xia Xue arrogantly: "You are the angel queen?" Feng An, the governor of Lingnan sent by you, was defeated by us, and if you come, you will also be beaten by our Western Plains barbarian warriors, and you will not be able to find the north. Therefore, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, and promise us the chief Ali to establish himself as king, and to give us the whole of Qinzhou. ”

He looked Xia Xue up and down a few times, his face was full of contempt, and he shouted provocatively: "Angel Queen? I heard that you are very powerful, do you dare to fight with me Ajimu? ”

Xia Xue smiled coldly, and suddenly rushed to the two of them like lightning, before the two of them could react, they saw her slender jade fingers lightly on the two of them, and the two strong men like wild boars rolled their eyes, fell to the ground suddenly, convulsed all over their bodies, and passed out.

Xia Xue smiled slightly, and walked back to the handsome case. Everyone was dumbfounded, they had only heard that the queen was an angel from the earth, but they didn't expect to have such a high mana.

After a long while, the two fainted Xiyuan barbarian envoys woke up quietly, their faces were like earth, their bodies were soft, they staggered up, their crotches were wet, and they no longer had the arrogance they had when they first came, and both of them were frightened by the thunderous blow of this little fairy just now. "Is this still human? It's the devil, huh? Is it a god? Both of them were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out.

Looking at the cowardice of these two arrogant guys now, Xia Xue was happy, in fact, she was using a special function on her mobile phone just now. Her high-tech phone is thin and light, and when a key is pressed, it becomes so soft that it can be rolled up or folded into any shape. The mobile phone rolled up according to a certain specification will immediately transform into a pocket anti-riot electric rod, which can instantly generate high-voltage pulses through the most advanced transformer inside, thereby stunning the creatures it comes into contact with or causing them to go into shock, even a lion can be stunned instantly. However, due to the limited amount of stored electrical energy, only three high-voltage pulses can be emitted at most. This function is too power-consuming, and Xia Xue will not use it until it is absolutely necessary.

For a barbarian tribe like the Xiyuan Barbarian, it is necessary to be good at using its ignorant and superstitious psychology to hit its morale, mythologize itself, and make it fear of itself, so that it can have a greater chance of winning in future duels.

Xia Xue decided to use the special electric shock function of her mobile phone to scare and scare the two stupid messengers of Xiyuanman, and extinguish the arrogance of Xiyuanman.

Therefore, when Xia Xue was talking to the two rampant Xiyuan barbarian envoys just now, she had already secretly rolled up the high-tech mobile phone according to the specifications, turning it into a pocket anti-riot electric baton.

Looking at the trembling two barbarian envoys from the Western Plains, Xia Xue said sharply: "God has the virtue of a good life, the court has the intention of appeasing, this king Chen has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he has not committed any crimes so far, just to give you a chance." If you are willing to lay down your arms, hand over Song Chao, the magistrate of Rong County, and obediently accept the appeasement, this king can not blame the past, and the court's leniency is nothing more than this, you don't know self-love, and live up to the court's good intentions! ”

Xia Xue's voice was violent, and the officials on both sides were shocked and held their breath, not daring to move a little. Cold sweat broke out on the heads of the two Western Plains barbarian envoys, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word.

Xia Xue slowly stood up. Step by step, he walked down the handsome case, and said awe-inspiringly: "The tens of thousands of troops of this king will not wait indefinitely, go back and tell Ali." This king is limited to six days, from tomorrow, after six days, Ali does not release Song Chao, the magistrate of Rong County, and does not go down the mountain to surrender, which is the period when this king suppresses bandits and quells the rebellion! ”

"Yes, yes, we will definitely convey His Majesty's decree." The two Xiyuan barbarian envoys nodded again and again, and ran back to the Xiyuan barbarian lair in a gloomy manner.

The next day, Xia Xue walked around Qinzhou again to learn about the situation on the spot. These days, Xia Xue has heard from Dugu Jun about all kinds of news, Xia Xue knows that some other tribes are also about to move, but unlike the aggressive and exclusive Xiyuanman, the ordinary people of those tribes get along with the Han people relatively well. Also willing to come and go.

On the contrary, the high-ranking Tusi and chieftains were worried that with the gradual increase in their contacts with the Han people, their power over the lives of those half-slave clansmen would be weakened, so although the imperial court was extremely generous to them and gave them the treatment of kings, they still tried their best to cause some trouble to expel the Han people.

However, because their people have frequent interactions with the Han Chinese. Friendly to each other, their rebellion lacked a mass base, and it was much more difficult to make trouble, so they pinned their hopes on the rebellion of the Xiyuan barbarians, hoping to fish in troubled waters, and put pressure on the imperial court through the affairs of the Xiyuan barbarians to demand greater rights and benefits.

Xiyuan Man, a small chess piece, affects the stability of the entire Lingnan behind it, and it is impossible to be cautious between ups and downs. Thinking of this, Xia Xue secretly made up her mind: this time the Xiyuan Barbarian rebellion must be completely resolved.

Back in the camp, Xia Xue said to the officials: "Do you know about Zhuge Liang's capture of Meng Shu by the seventh? If the barbarians are completely subdued, it will be difficult for them to rebel again.

Xiyuan was rampant and lawless, and repeatedly rebelled, making the people of all ethnic groups around him miserable, and it was because of the routine encirclement and suppression by the imperial court that most of them ended in failure, so that they had nothing to fear. We just want to let them know that our angel army is invincible, and when they are cornered, they can only choose the way to surrender, which may be the only way to save the life of Song Chao, the magistrate of Rong County. ”

The officials nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Xue said again: "The Sui Dynasty sent 150,000 troops during the Kaihuang period, and they can't help but win the Xiyuan Barbarians, is their combat strength inferior to them?" Otherwise, it's just that the place where they are entrenched is inherently dangerous, and the dangerous villages echo and support each other, and the imperial army is not allowed to enter, and the army is obviously superior. In that ecstasy mountain, you can't show your strengths, but are controlled everywhere, which leads to failure.

Therefore, this king decided to put down the rebellion this time and formulated the following strategies: First, organize the local Han Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Yi Qiang and other ethnic groups. They are not only familiar with the terrain and the barbarians of the Western Plains, but they have all been oppressed by the barbarians of the Western Plains, and if they have the support of the imperial army, they will be able to participate enthusiastically. With the help of these locals and as guides, the army can reduce the risk of getting lost and suffering from the miasma plague, and the Xiyuan Barbarians can take advantage of the geographical advantage to reduce it by half. ”

Feng An, the head of Lingnan, scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, this plan is very good, why didn't I come up with it at the time, ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Xia Xue said again: "Second, the terrain of the rebel barbarian hiding place is dangerous, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the power of swords and guns is not great, and the bow and arrow are difficult to work, so it must be attacked with fire, so the fire and poisonous smoke will definitely make the Xiyuan barbarian have nowhere to hide, and it will work wonders." ”

Feng Gong, the prefect of Qinzhou, who was thin and slightly hunched on his back, looked at the sand table and hesitated: "This Wulongzhai is connected to countless surrounding mountains, and fires are set everywhere, the fire is difficult to control. ”

Xia Xue smiled: "Has Lord Feng ever heard of the 'fire isolation zone'?" In the dense forest area where the fire is ready to be attacked, in order to prevent the spread of the fire, the grass and trees are cleared within more than ten zhang from the forest. Mountain fires are powerful and non-stove fires are comparable, but if a 30-zhang open space is cleared and officers and soldiers are ordered to guard it and extinguish the weak sparks at any time, why worry about the spread of the fire? ”

Feng Gong, the prefect of Qinzhou, was stunned and gave a random thumbs up: "Firebreak? Your Majesty's Move! ”

The fireproof isolation zone made the stones in the hearts of officials such as Feng An, the governor of Lingnan, Song Xuan, the prefect of Yongzhou, and Feng Gong, the prefect of Qinzhou, fall to the ground, and they couldn't help but be greatly encouraged and looked happy.

Xia Xue continued: "Third, we have a lot of soldiers. The mountain road is rugged, it is not used at all, it is better to march by separate roads, each break, the small village is easy to attack the first to take it, cut its wings, clear the periphery first, step by step for the camp, then the village is isolated, and it is easy to break. ”

After hearing this, Feng An, the head of Lingnan, lowered his head and repeatedly checked on the sand table, savored it, and only after a while was he shocked and moved: "Wonderful! Your Majesty has a high opinion that in the past, officers and soldiers often suffered from the enemy on their backs. Being controlled everywhere is the reason why the key points are taken directly and the periphery is not clear, this trick is wonderful! ”

Xia Xue shook her head and sighed: "Although the fire attack may hurt the innocent, as the queen of the Angel Country, I not only have to consider one place, but also look at the overall situation. Not only for the short term, but also for the long term. With a thunderbolt method, Fang showed the Bodhisattva's heart, 'Use heavy codes in troubled times!' If this is not the case, how can we quickly achieve a clear situation and the country is stable? ”

The officials silently repeated the domineering proverb of "using heavy codes in troubled times", looking at this beautiful queen who was only about 15 years old, everyone's eyes couldn't help but be full of awe, too domineering, more domineering than men!
