The northern Qiang people who followed Cao Shuo brought all their clansmen to Tongguan.

Many of the Qiang warriors had several children and a few women.

The northern Qiang people who came to Tongguan actually had nearly one million people.

Cao Shuo didn't expect so many people to come, let alone the tribe of the Qiang people in the north to be so prosperous.

The Qiang people living in the north alone are a million people.

The other ethnic groups do not know how many people live on the border of the Central Plains.

After years of war, the population of the Central Plains has suffered a lot of losses, and when the world is pacified, once the alien races attack it en masse, even Cao Shuo will be difficult to control the situation.

But the Qiang people came in one million people, and the combined population of Cao Shuo's various places was only three or four times that of them, including young children born in the past few years.

Leading the mighty team to leave Tongguan, Cao Shuo would look back from time to time.

There are too many Qiang people, how to settle them, he is really a little difficult.

"Childe." Finding that Cao Shuo's expression was a little strange, Sima Yi leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried that there are too many Qiang people, and you are afraid that they will cause trouble when they get there?" ”

"Or Zhongda understands me." Cao Shuo nodded: "That's exactly what I'm worried about." ”

"Not at all." Sima Yi smiled slightly, and asked Cao Shuo in a low voice, "Isn't Gongzi planning to expand the army?" ”

"I do have the idea." As if he understood something, Cao Shuo asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Of course there is a way." Sima Yi said: "Gongzi is nothing more than to fuse the Qiang people and let them become Central Plains people in the future. ”

"That's exactly what it means." Cao Shuo said: "The population of the Central Plains has consumed a lot, and it is necessary to have foreign races to supplement it and integrate with the Central Plains people in order to restore its former prosperity." But there are too many Qiang people, and it will mess up the blood of the Central Plains people......"

"Don't worry, Childe, you won't mess up the bloodline of the Central Plains people at all." Sima Yi said: "When he arrived at the place, Gongzi ordered the officials to distribute fields and houses to the Qiang people, and transferred the strong men to the army, and the Qiang men left behind could only marry one Qiang woman. ”

Cao Shuo didn't interrupt him, just listened silently.

"The local Qiang people only marry one wife, and the children they give birth to must be limited, while the Qiang people who are transferred to the army by the prince are strong, but they can only marry the women of the Central Plains." Sima Yi said: "As a result, the Qiang people were slow to give birth and raise in the local area, and most of the women were married to the Central Plains. Although the Qiang people in the army can marry many wives and concubines, they can only be Central Plains women. In this way, it is only the Qiang people who are disrupted by the bloodline. In less than ten years, the Qiang people will not have the prosperity they have today, and the population of the Central Plains will definitely increase a lot. ”

"That's a good idea." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that the Qiang people will not agree, each Qiang person is only allowed to marry one Qiang woman." Won't they come to me for an explanation? ”

"Jingzhuang was transferred to the army by Gongzi, and there is also the benefit of marrying several Central Plains women." Sima Yi asked: "I have received benefits, do they still have the heart to go against Gongzi for the sake of others?" ”

Looking at Sima Yi, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth.

Gently patting his arm, Cao Shuo said: "It's still your idea, first divide the strength of the Qiang people and take away the strong, even if the local Qiang people are dissatisfied with us, they can't set off any waves." ”

"It's still a shrewd child, and he can see through my plans at a glance." Sima Yi replied.

"The kung fu of sycophants is also getting more and more proficient the more you practice." Cao Shuo smiled: "You have said it so clearly, if I can't see through it anymore, wouldn't it be stupid to the extreme?" ”

Sima Yi smiled and didn't say anything more.

Cao Shuo did not choose to return to Shouchun immediately, he deliberately made a big circle, first from the Youzhou area to the east, and then to the south, and everywhere he went, he would order some Qiang people to stay.

While leaving the Qiang people, he would also call the local officials to the Shuai tent and tell them how to settle them.

Until the local officials fully understood his intentions, he would lead the army onward.

As Cao Shuo went to more and more places, more and more Qiang people remained.

According to his orders, the Qiang people were first scattered among the tribes, and then they were assigned to villages.

It's not a tribe of people gathered together, and they don't take care of each other, not to mention that if something happens in the future, they will twist into a rope and fight against the Central Plains together.

Because it was a detour and the distance was long, Cao Shuo walked for seven or eight months before he came to the border between Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

Glancing back, there was not much left of the Qiang tribe that followed the group.

Of the more than 100,000 Qiang warriors, Cao Shuo actually selected 60,000 or 70,000 strong.

However, there are only more than 50,000 people selected by him in Huainan and other places.

The addition of the Qiang people increased the number of his standing army to more than 100,000.

With such a powerful army, Cao Shuo has a little more confidence in dominating the world in the future.

Entering Xuzhou, some Qiang people will be separated every time they walk.

All the way south to Pengcheng, Cao Shuo ordered the soldiers to enter the city to rest.

Peng Cheng was once slaughtered by Cao Cao.

There are not many aborigines left, and most of the inhabitants of the city have migrated from other places by Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo led the army into the city, and the people welcomed him.

Looking at the Qiang people who followed the procession, many people were very curious.

There is not much difference between the appearance of the Qiang people and the Central Plains people, but their clothing is very different from the Central Plains people.

What the people were curious about was the very strange-looking Qiang costumes.

After entering the city, Cao Shuo took a group of staff and generals to the direction of the official mansion.

Before leaving, he instructed Zhao Yun, who was ordered to lead the soldiers to the barracks: "When you arrive at the barracks, Zilong has to rub the Qiang people and the soldiers of our army together, mixed with the distribution barracks. It is better not to give the Qiang people a chance to gather, but also to remind the soldiers not to violate their habits, so as not to cause conflict. ”

Although most of the Qiang people were distributed along the way, the number of Qiang people in the army is still far more than that of the Central Plains soldiers.

Of course, Zhao Yun understood why Cao Shuo gave such an order.

With his fists in response, he beckoned to the army: "Soldiers, follow me!" ”

The mighty army followed Zhao Yun and drove towards the barracks.

Cao Shuo led a small number of staff generals to the official mansion.

Pengcheng is a big city, when the Chu and Han disputes, Xiang Yu once set this place as the capital.

If Cao Cao hadn't launched a massacre at the instigation of Liu Bei, the city would have been even more prosperous and noisy than the rest of Xuzhou.

Coming to the gate of the official mansion, Cao Shuo turned over and dismounted.

The guard stepped forward and took the horse.

He instructed his staff and generals: "Don't go back to rest yet, go to the council chamber, I have something to discuss with you." ”

After many days of hurrying, the people were indeed tired.

But Cao Shuo didn't let them go, who dared to leave, and followed him to the meeting hall in the front yard of the official mansion.
