Chapter 178: The Battle of Wuwei (4)

"Huh? Why did you just let her go back? She has been away from Goguryeo for a long time, and letting her go back at this time may arouse the suspicion of her already very suspicious brother Yuan Gai Suwen. Li Wenyuan said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, she was imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp by you during this time, and later escaped with the help of the Hu people in the Western Regions, Aili, and she escaped back to Goguryeo by pretending to be a slave of the Hu caravan along the way." Qiu Niang said with a smile.

"Yuangai Suwen, that person can be trusted?" Li Wenyuan still said in disbelief.

"Don't worry, when Gai Suzhen escaped, she stole one of your documents, which recorded the secrets of our 'military deployment', and when she was in your prisoner of war camp, she was abused by someone you designated to find someone." Qiu Niangjiao smiled and continued: "And for the sake of realism, the decision we came up with in the final discussion was to let Gai Suzhen's body really have a wound. ”

Li Wenyuan secretly said to himself, women are really ruthless when they are ruthless, compared to this, he couldn't be more merciful.

Li Wen was extremely surprised after listening to Zhuang Fudi's description, and immediately said: "These things can be regarded as an extremely amazing conspiracy even in the Central Plains, but now they appear among the Saibei Hu people, who have always been regarded as barbarians? ”

"The governor has said before, don't underestimate those Hu people, they have a long-term friendly policy with the Han people, so that their people's wisdom is not weaker than the Central Plains, in addition, they are extremely often learning, and subjectively they are also very inclined to learn the technology of the Central Plains. In addition, even if those Hu people are not good at using stratagems, they can only learn some of our tactics, but the Hu people in the Western Regions have lived under the king for a long time, and hundreds of years of study have made them as good at scheming as the Han people in the Central Plains, and they are very cunning. The Eastern Turks in Saibei knew that they could not defeat the Han people in the Central Plains in terms of strategy, so they accepted many Hu people from the Western Regions who were unwilling to belong to Wanghua and let them give advice for themselves. Tuoba Shishu himself grew up in the Central Plains, no different from the Han people, and it is not unusual to plan such an earth-shattering conspiracy at this time. Zhuang Fudi sighed.

When Zhuang Fudi was talking to Li Wenyuan, he had discussed with Li Wenyuan many times how to deal with the Turks in northern Saibei. The war will not last forever, and it may be a long time before peace will be brought about, but with the reconciliation between the two countries and the increase in civil behavior, the Eastern Turks will eventually stand on the same level as the Han in terms of strategy. After finally losing the last weapon against the Eastern Turks, how could the Han resist the attack of the Eastern Turks?

Li Wenyuan has also made various plans many times, but he has never been able to properly deal with the large number of Eastern Turks. Although the relatives of these people may have participated in the war against China in the Central Plains, and they may also have enjoyed the dividends brought by the plundering of the Han people and made their lives more comfortable, Li Wenyuan, who had crossed over, was under the influence of the so-called 'humanitarianism', and he could not accept the complete extermination of the entire clan.

In the end, Zhuang Fudi proposed a solution: after all, there is no guarantee that civilians will not be harmed on the battlefield, and the damage to some civilians in the transit of the army is unavoidable, after all, the language barrier, the cultural differences are too large, and the nerves of soldiers fighting in foreign countries are always tense.

For hundreds of years, the nomads in the north were like a vicious wolf, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they were as well-behaved and docile as domestic dogs, but once the Central Plains Dynasty declined, these Saibei nomads who were disguised as docile dogs on weekdays would show their fangs that had long been thirsting for blood, and bite the fatal blow on the throat of the Central Plains Dynasty with a weak breath.

Therefore, the method proposed by Zhuang Fudi is to still use the simplest and most efficient method, use the army to open the way, and merge the entire Eastern Turks under the control of the Western Regions Army under the suppression of the strategy, and then forcibly migrate a large number of Eastern Turks to the Central Plains and disperse them, and they are not allowed to leave the state capital of the resettlement place for three generations.

Subsequently, a large number of Han people migrated from the Central Plains to settle down in the territory of the Eastern Turks, or engaged in herding life, or engaged in farming, or fishing and hunting in the North Sea, in short, it is necessary to use a large number of Han people to fill the vacancy after the internal migration of the Eastern Turks, so that the Han people can become the majority of the Eastern Turkic territory, and slowly assimilate the minority of the Eastern Turks, so that the threat of the northern nomads can be solved once and for all, and never again.

Li Wenyuan looked at Zhuang Fudi in front of him with some surprise, what Zhuang Fudi said before was what Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia did to Siberia in later generations.

However, Zhuang Fudi's method is indeed the best so far, not only efficient, but also very low-cost.

But Li Wenyuan then thought of the situation he was facing, sighed and said, "The Eastern Turks, it's another protracted war. ”

Since Li Wenyuan crossed over, it seems that he has always been unable to get along with the Turks, and he has always been unable to avoid conflicts with the Turks. This is also something that can't be helped, Li Wenyuan has been active in the northwest since he crossed over, and later defeated Li Rail, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest and became the new master of the Western Regions. The Western Regions are now bordered by the warlord groups of Xue Juliang Shidu and other separatist parties in the east, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is currently insurmountable in the south. As a result, Li Wenyuan's army could only choose to expand to the north and west, but unfortunately both north and west were Turkic forces. Therefore, if Li Wenyuan wants to expand outward, he will inevitably have to deal with the Turks.

Li Wenyuan then mentioned: "Fu Di, I have another way to settle those Turks more properly. ”

Zhuang Fudi said curiously: "What is the way to tell me?" ”

"We can compile those Turks into slavery and then use them to trade with the forces that lack troops in the Central Plains melee, and we provide them with the young and strong Turks to continue their own wars, but in turn we have to exchange the Han people on their territory, and in terms of combat effectiveness, one Turk in exchange for two Han Chinese." Li Wenyuan's eyes lit up and said.

"Is there a force that the governor doesn't know about and secretly supports? What are these Turks going to use to strengthen his combat effectiveness? Zhuang Fudi said.

"No, whoever wants to sell, the more buyers, the better." Li Wenyuan said.
