Of course, Ali Buge, the Great Yuan Emperor and Shi Bin's righteous brother, can't really be imprisoned in the prisoner camp, and it's not suitable to take him around on a campaign. After some discussion, Shi Bin decided to send him back to Lin'an first to ensure his safety. After conquering the entire Great Yuan, I will make plans.

If a country does not have an emperor, all kinds of forces will naturally fall apart, and Dayuan is the best example of 'the tree falls and scatters'. Since Shi Bin captured Ali Buge, Dayuan was immediately divided into three factions. One faction believes that Dayuan once became the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and now that Daxiang is strong, it is natural for him to take refuge in Shi Bin. One faction thinks that it can pay tribute to Shi Bin, but it can only become a vassal state of Daxiang, and cannot really be governed by Daxiang. The last faction believes that it was Shi Bin who led the troops to destroy Dayuan, and they had a common enmity with Daxiang, and they must not give in to Shi Bin, they should not die.

Among the three factions, there are the least people who are willing to take refuge and plan to fight to the death, and most of them are willing to pay tribute to Shi Bin and become a vassal state of the Great Hunan Domain. This attitude led to a situation: the Yuan people would run away if they couldn't beat it, and they would never fight to the death with Shi Bin's army. Regardless of whether the fight is lost or won, a messenger will be sent to apologize and express his attitude.

Although Shi Bin also has tens of thousands of cavalry, he can still barely catch up with the Yuan people, but that is too much of a loss. It would be absolutely stupid to drop the combat effectiveness by more than half just for the sake of hurrying. Once the Yuan people made up their minds to fight with Shi Bin and return to the carbines, the army of Daxiang would probably suffer heavy losses. In order to avoid such a ridiculous situation, Shi Bin had no choice but to order no longer to chase the Yuan soldiers with all his might, and instead set up camp for repair.

Now that Dayuan no longer exists, and the threat from the north has basically disappeared, even if Shi Bin goes back now, he believes that there will still be many tribes who will take the initiative to take refuge and express their allegiance. But this is too passive, which makes Shi Bin feel unsteady, and what he hopes is that those tribes will be loyal to him.

"Xu Feng, now that Da Yuan is gone, most of the Yuan people are willing to serve me as the master, do you think it is enough?"

"Emperor, please forgive Weichen for saying bluntly, those Yuan people are just trying to protect their own interests and make false promises with you, and they are absolutely unconvinced. They knew that as soon as the emperor withdrew from the army, it would be very difficult to raise troops again, and then they would have no scruples. Xu Feng said, "So the emperor can't withdraw his troops for the time being, no matter what way he uses, he must surrender the Yuan people, otherwise it won't be long before they come to make trouble again." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying, their Great Yuan has been wiped out, and now it's just a small tribe, how dare they make trouble? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out like Da Yuan? ”

"Emperor, the reason why Dayuan and I have not used swords in Daxiang for several years is that there is the emperor Ali Buge. The emperor's order did not dare to disobey, so they were so obedient. Now that there is no emperor, they are just a bunch of rogues, who will plunder wherever there is good. What's more, it's still a natural cavalryman, and if we grab it, we can't do anything but stare dryly. ”

I understood what Xu Feng meant, that is, if they didn't completely subdue those tribes, they would come to Daxiang to plunder the wealth by fighting guerrillas.

"What then? They are not directly fighting with me now, they are already fighting guerrillas. ”

Looking at Shi Bin's embarrassed expression, Xu Feng smiled and said: "The emperor, you are really kind-hearted, they haven't been loyal to you yet, and you can't bear to hurt them as your own people." ”

Such a sentence means that Xu Feng already has a way, and this method is a bit ruthless. But it is true that as Xu Feng said, now Shi Bin has regarded these Yuan people as his own people and can't bear to hurt them.

"It seems that Xu Feng, you have a way, tell me how your method will hurt those Yuan people." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Please don't make fun of Weichen, Weichen doesn't dare to hurt your people too much in the future. In fact, this method has been used by the emperor a long time ago, and Weichen only borrowed it once. The Second Emperor used some mercury to contaminate their water sources in his crusade against the Great Yuan, causing them to lose their combat power. Since we want to subdue them, we can use them without mercury

Croton, just let them have diarrhea. ”

This method has some implications for taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle, although the Yuan people are nomadic people and often migrate. But not all places can be settled, and it is not without the slightest sense of homeland. Therefore, once Xu Feng really does what Xu Feng says, at least half of the tribes in the steppe will surrender without a fight. Of course, Shi Bin accepted this plan of surrendering without a fight, but he felt that only relying on this insidious and vicious method would force the Yuan people to submit at most, and he still couldn't be convinced from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the worry in Shi Bin's heart, Xu Feng said again: "Emperor, do you know what this 'only allows Zhou Gong to set fires and does not allow the people to light lamps' means? ”

What does it mean in such a simple word, how could Shi Bin not understand? How could you not understand why Xu Feng suddenly said such a sentence? His second suggestion was that Shi Bin also sent troops to rob the Yuan people, causing them to boil over resentment. The tribal leader was forced to join Shi Bin under great pressure.

found that Xu Feng's two suggestions were a bit vicious and vicious, although Shi Bin accepted but didn't like it, so he said: "Go and call Wang San, I want to talk to him." ”

It didn't take long for Wang San to come and said with a smile: "Emperor, I heard that you want to discuss with Weichen how to make these small tribes attached?" ”

"Exactly. Now the big threat is gone, but the little trouble is out. Wang San, presumably Xu Feng has already told you everything and told you your opinion. ”

"Emperor, your consideration is right, Xu Feng's suggestion is not wrong, it's just that there is a little less grace in the middle. The emperor should probably order his generals to show some favor when carrying out their plans. It would be good to treat those who support us differently from those who oppose us, and to divide and divide them, so that they can be both respectful and fearful. ”

Shi Bin couldn't predict other things, but one thing Shi Bin was sure of was that no one wanted to live a life of worrying all day.

"Okay, then do as you and Xu Feng say. The side that resists is pursued and beaten, and the side that does not resist is comforted and appeased, and there is a sharp contrast. ”

After saying this, Shi Bin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he, the emperor, planned to rest. Who knew that before he could catch his breath, Wang San asked Shi Bin another question: What did Shi Bin plan to do with Brother Ali.

Ali is not a brother? Isn't it okay to send it back to Lin'an? If he refuses to surrender, then house arrest can be regarded as saving his life. If he is willing to submit, it is not impossible to crown an empty prince. This is what Shi Bin thinks in his heart.

From Shi Bin's face, it could be seen that he hadn't thought about this problem at all, and Wang San smiled: "The emperor really just wants to save his life, right?" ”

Wang San's words made Shi Bin a little ashamed, he, the emperor, really just wanted to save Ali Buge's life, and fulfilled the righteousness of his brother, and never thought about anything else.

Of course, he didn't make fun of Shi Bin, Wang San just continued: "Then how can Brother Ali Buge say that he is also the emperor of Dayuan, wouldn't it be a bit too wasteful if he didn't make good use of it?" I also asked the emperor to call Ali Buge, let's discuss with him, and let him help recruit some tribes. Let these tribes set an example, which should be of great help in the conquest of the Great Yuan. ”

It must be admitted that if you don't make good use of Ali Buge's political influence, it is indeed too wasteful and too tyrannical. Although Shi Bin didn't like such calculations, he also admitted that Wang San was reasonable, so he quickly ordered Ali Buge to be recovered and brought to see him.

Because he was afraid that Ali Buge would escape, Wang San sent someone to tie him up before, making Ali Buge, the Great Yuan Emperor, lose face. Shi Bin knew this, and was afraid that Ali Buge would be angry and not cooperate, so he immediately helped him untie the rope and reprimanded Wang San fiercely, and apologized one after another.

Since he is a prisoner, of course, he can't be too pretentious, and Ali Buge also accepted it when he saw it, expressing his acceptance of Shi Bin's apology, but he was obviously deeply dissatisfied with what Shi Bin did.

"Brother, little brother, I have no choice but to do this. If you and I are just ordinary people, everything is very simple. Even if you give half of your wealth, it's just a matter of words

Feeling. You and I are both kings of the same country, and there are some things that we have to do even if we don't want to, so please forgive me. ”

"Brother?" Brother Ali Buge snorted coldly, "Emperor Daxiang is so calculating, I, Brother Ali, don't dare to be your brother!" Did you come up with any good idea to bring me back from the middle of the road? ”

"Brother Ali Bu, don't be ashamed! You have no way to govern the country by yourself, and you can only blame yourself for the destruction of the country! Wang San shouted angrily.

"Blame ourselves? Wang San, hello will be strong! People say that you Wang San is the best at reversing black and white, I didn't believe it originally, but now it seems that I haven't wronged you! ”

"If it weren't for my eldest brother to help you, you would have been driven to Persia by Kublai Khan, how could you be the emperor of Dayuan? If it weren't for the amount of money and supplies that my eldest brother had to support you, would you have been able to consolidate your rule? As a result of a natural disaster, you have lost nearly 250,000 people, have you ever thought of doing your best to help them? ”

Without waiting for Brother Ali to retort, Wang San said again: "Maybe you want to say that my eldest brother took advantage of the danger of people to kidnap your 100,000 people, but if they were not willing, how could they be taken captive by my eldest brother?" And not a single one fled back to their homeland? I'm not strong in Daxiang! This rebellion of the three clans can only be blamed on your own inability to govern. At first, I and others wanted to take this opportunity to let the three clans take refuge in my Daxiang, but it was my eldest brother who refused to do so, so he came up with the name of 'working boy'. After the start of the war, the Naiman and Jili Jisi tribes who announced their separation are probably also dissatisfied with your rule, and I, Daxiang, have not been involved! ”

Brother Ali Buge is also a reasonable person, and after listening to Wang San's words, he immediately looked ashamed. He knew that what Wang San said was true, and flies did not bite seamless eggs. It was his own mistake in governing Dayuan that led to the detachment of the various ministries and the plot of rebellion.

"Even if you Wang San is reasonable, my brother Ali is indeed not worthy of being the emperor of the Great Yuan. But you're probably not just bringing me here to educate me and apologize to me, right? ”

"In the end, it's the Great Yuan Emperor." Wang San said with a smile, "Of course, I invited you not only for education, but for cooperation and salvation. ”

"Cooperation? Save? Ali Buge asked puzzledly, "With whom to cooperate and who to save?" ”

"Naturally, my eldest brother cooperated with you to save the common people of the grassland. Please come forward to help convince more tribes to submit to Daxiang. ”

Listening to Wang San's words, Brother Ali Bu immediately burst out laughing, laughing at Shi Bin's insatiable greed. In order to enslave the common people, they also made up a high-sounding reason.

"Big brother, please think carefully, brother, have I enslaved the people? If it is enslaved, why hasn't I raised troops in Daxiang all these years? And you, Dayuan, often have herdsmen flee to me to earn a living through part-time work? Brother to say something unpleasant, those nobles of your Dayuan are enslaving the people. If the eldest brother is willing to cooperate with me, I am willing to guarantee the people of the grassland to live a prosperous and healthy life with my personality, and ensure that your golden family is still the number one family in the grassland. ”

Knowing that he was not qualified to negotiate conditions, Ali Buge agreed to cooperate with Shi Bin as a lobbyist after hesitating for a while. Since Brother Ali Buge agreed, Shi Bin may make a promise: as long as Brother Ali Buge sincerely cooperates, he will make Brother Ali Buge a hereditary king with a different surname. Ali Buge himself needs to stay in Lin'an as a hostage, and the heir can return to the grassland to continue to preside over the affairs of the tribe. Of course, it will not be said that Ali Buge is a hostage, but that Ali Buge and Shi Bin have a deep brotherhood, and they are reluctant to separate and voluntarily stay in Lin'an.

In this operation, all the tribes of Dayuan, except for some diehards, surrendered to Shi Bin. And Shi Bin also used the method of dealing with Dali to divide Dayuan into several regions that were not subordinate to each other, which were directly managed by the imperial court. Ali Buge was named the hereditary 'King of Monan'

Finally completed the long-cherished wish of restoring the 'prosperous Han and Tang dynasties', so that the Central Plains Dynasty once again stood on top of the world and became a country admired by all nations. Because of this, Shi Bin was praised by everyone as 'the first emperor of the ages'.
