Chapter 1657: Take Refuge

Li Ru said with a smile: "The three of them are all smart people among the Qiang people, and the patriarch of your tribe is even more so, if you want to rely on the solidity of the city to resist the army of the King of Jin, it is difficult to succeed, when the King of Jin was in the Han Dynasty, but he broke through such cities, no less than twenty. ”

The envoy of the Qiang people whispered, obviously confused by Li Ru's words.

Li Ru understood the words of the Qiang people, and said slowly: "The prestige of the King of Jin, as long as you send someone to inquire a little, you can know. ”

The three Qiang people looked at Li Ru's eyes with a look of surprise, just now they were communicating in the language of the Qiang people, and this Han official with a somewhat hideous face could actually understand.

The Qiang people learn the language of the Han people, but they want to live the life of the Han people, and the Han people learn the language of the Han people, which is not necessary in many cases.

"My lord, what kind of benefits will the Qiang tribe get after taking refuge?" A Qiang man asked directly.

"The matter of participating in the wolf and Qiang, you must have known, this matter is true, the king of Jin under the fierce general Tai Shici led the soldiers and horses, after breaking through the Qiang road, the wolf Qiang took the initiative to choose to surrender, so he was punished for five years, but when attacking Zhangye, Lei Li of the wolf Qiang, that is, Lei Li who went to the Han army to poison the Han army on the order of Beigong Feng, made a great contribution, and then reduced the punishment of the Qiang people to three years." Li Rudao.

After listening to the envoys of the three Qiang people, their eyes lit up, five years and three years seem to be only two years apart, who can be sure what kind of changes will be made after these two years, the same as the Qiang people, no one wants to be behind others in this matter, for the Lei Li Qiang people naturally have an impression, when they first broke through Fanhe, it was because of Lei Li's contributions, what they didn't expect was that Lei Li was caught by the Han army when he was poisoned, and chose to take refuge.

This situation forced them to think more, if there was a better way to live, they definitely didn't want their people to live worse.

"The three of them will return to the city for the time being, waiting for the order of the King of Jin, if they can break through the city, the tribe where the three belong will be meritorious." Li Rudao.

The three of them thanked again and again, at this time, for them, the most attractive thing is the merit, after taking refuge, they will be punished for five years, which Li Ru has made clear, whoever can establish more credit in the process of the Han army's breakthrough of the city will get the most reduction.

After the three envoys left, Li Ru immediately went to the camp where Lu Bu was, such a major event, naturally to report to Lu Bu as soon as possible, in the war against the Qiang people, Li Ru showed his extraordinary ability, and showed his strategy in front of Guo Jia and Pang Tong, which still made Li Ru more complacent, especially Guo Jia, who was a long-famous strategist under Lu Bu's account.

However, Lu Bu handed over such important matters to him one after another, which is enough to see Lu Bu's trust in him, which is what moved Li Ru the most, Lu Bu can still trust him so much when he knows his identity, this is commendable, thinking that Lu Bu has Li Su and Xu Rong and Jia Xu under his account, Li Ru is also relieved, such characters are worth following him.

After listening to Li Ru's report, Lu Bu said with a smile: "There is Wen You, and he is really captured." ”

"This is the wisdom of the lord, and the subordinates are just responsible for acting." Li Ru hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Wenyou does not need to be like this in the future, under the account of this king, there is merit, there is merit, what this king needs is a capable person, as long as he does not forget the law and discipline because of merit, he will not be blamed, this king really hopes that the officials under his subordinates are people who are eager to get merit, in that case, how strong will this king's rule be." Lu Budao.

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu blankly, it was the first time he had heard this kind of remarks, and he arched his hand and said, "The lord is wise." ”

"It's not that the king is wise, but everyone has their own dreams, military generals want to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and after getting credit, they will promote their positions, and literati want to make a difference in the local area and get promoted, all of which are the same reason, such people, who have obtained them with their own efforts, should be given trust and respect." Lu Bu said slowly.

Li Ru pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "The lord's remarks are thought-provoking, and Confucianism is far worse. ”

"Wen You is a wise man, and this king is just a military general." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Li Ru smiled knowingly, but he didn't really go to his heart, if Lu Bu is a military general, then there will be no virtuous people among the monarchs of the world, if Li Ru knows that this is because Lu Bu is too lazy, I don't know how he will feel, the trust in the eyes of Li Ru and others, in Lu Bu's opinion, is lazy, and after handing over these heavy things to his subordinates, Lu Bu naturally feels apologetic, and will definitely say a few words of relief, and often receive unexpected effects.

"As expected, there will be envoys from the Qiang tribe coming, and now the Qiang people in the city are already panicking, they have no confidence in Yang Wan, just wait for the strength of these Qiang people to gather together, they can break through the city." Li Ru said: "But the attack on the city can't be stopped, otherwise, Yang Wan may have some suspicions." ”

Lu Bu nodded, Yang Wan was able to get to this position, he must have something extraordinary.

"Wen You, after breaking through Jiuquan, the war with the Qiang people is basically over, but there are still many Qiang tribes in Liangzhou, and these Qiang tribes may not be enemies of our army at present, but it does not mean that they will not be enemies of our army in the future." Lu Budao.

Li Ru's heart tightened: "What does the lord mean?" ”

"Why did the Qiang people rebel, only if this problem is truly solved, can it be regarded as solving the problem of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, otherwise, the Qiang people will have the same choice in the future." Lu Budao.

Li Ru nodded yes, he thought that Lu Bu was going to wipe out the Qiang tribe in Liangzhou.

If the Qiang tribe is wiped out, it will inevitably cause the Qiang tribe to resist, the Qiang people's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, when they have the will to die, they will be able to make the Han army pay a heavy price, and if you appease some tribes, you can make these Qiang tribes gradually trust the Han people.

"Endless killing, is not able to solve the problem of the Qiang people, just like the Xianbei people on the grassland, even if the Xianbei is destroyed, there will be other nomadic people rising on the grassland, rather than this, it is better to control the grassland in our hands, so that the Xianbei people have a sense of belonging to the Han people, after decades, who can distinguish the Xianbei people of the Han people." Lu Budao.
