After the envoy left, Zhou Fei asked, "Lord, why are you so polite to Hu Man?" ”

"Peaceful coexistence is very beneficial to us, our current strength is too weak, and the court has cut off the reward for them, if we do not trade, the Wuhuan people will be forced to jump over the wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The chief officer Gu Tong complained bitterly in his heart, this captain is a war maniac, is this still polite? So he took a step forward and suggested: "Gao Junshi, Captain Zhou, at this moment, our troops are too small, and it is not appropriate to face them head-on, and we can gradually disintegrate the Wuhuan tribes." ”

"Hehe, Zifei has any good ideas, please come quickly."

"Gao Junshi, first, you can send Guang Ziyi, who is in charge of foreign affairs, to contact the subordinate tribes of Nanlou, and the school captain's mansion will trade with them separately, so as to divide the relationship between the tribes and Nanlou; Without the imperial court's bounty, the tribes' dependence on the Nanlou weakened, and if they traded separately, their relationship would be even more estranged; Second, draw their cavalry, pledge their families, and reduce the strength of the tribes. ”

Gao Shun said: "The first is desirable, the second is not desirable, if they should be combined with the outside, then danger will come; If they lose the barrier of Ning County, their cavalry can go straight down to Dai County and Shanggu County, and easily rescue the families of the pledge. ”

Zhou Fei said viciously: "If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and sooner or later they will all be wiped out." ”

Wan Hongjun Sima said: "Gao Junshi, without the reward of the imperial court, they will have a hard time, will they force their various departments to move closer to the difficult building and come to loot together?" ”

Gao Shun said: "The Wuhuan tribes in the south of Yanmen County, Dai County and Shanggu County must have learned that the Han people had moved south, and even if they plundered, they could not loot the materials, and low-cost trade was their only way to survive, and they would definitely not be stupid enough to fight hard." ”

Wan Hong said: "Gao Junshi, if you persecute the difficult building too much, and it unites with the Wuhuan of the three counties, then we will be in danger." ”

Gao Shun said: "This is not in line with your character." That's why I separated the relationship between Nanlou and the Wuhuan of the three counties, I am ready to trade only with the Wuhuan of Shanggu County, and the Wuhuan of the three counties will trade through the Wuhuan of the three counties, and the Wuhuan of the three counties will definitely not let the Wuhuan of the three counties attack us for their own interests, and they will lose the reward of the imperial court, their strength will inevitably be greatly hit, which is also a good opportunity for Nanlou to annex other tribes. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, even if he continued to reward them, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion came next year, the Wuhuan people would take the opportunity to loot; After settling the matter of the Yellow Turban Uprising, we must make every effort to solve the barbarians, otherwise, when the troubled times come, the barbarian tribes will definitely contact the inland princes to find a backer, then he will be hit by both internal and external sides, like Gongsun Zan in history; It is necessary to stabilize the rear in order to fully strive for domination of the Central Plains, but fortunately there is still more than 4 years of buffer time during this period.

Gu Tong retorted: "Master Gao, the strength of the difficult building is strong, wouldn't our pressure be greater?" It will be more difficult to solve later. ”

Wan Hong asked: "Military advisor, in this case, I am worried that Wuhuan in the three eastern counties will be in chaos. ”

"Therefore, internally, we should take advantage of the short period of peace to recruit troops and strengthen ourselves; Externally, it is necessary to separate the relationship between Nanlou and the Wuhuan of the three counties and the tribes under Nanlou, so that it will gradually be isolated. As for the Wuhuan rebellion in the three eastern counties, then the local Taishou will handle it. ”

Gu Tong also suggested: "Military advisor, since we want to divide and disintegrate the tribes under Nanlou, why don't we recruit a group of cavalry from them, since they are alienated from Nanlou, and the military advisor can provide good treatment, the chance of them participating in the rebellion is very small, and if they pledge their families, the cavalry will not give up their immediate interests; And the youth of these tribes were taken away, and some of the tribesmen were relocated, weakened in strength, and became more dependent on the school governor's office; This will seriously weaken the strength of the difficult building and isolate it; And the strength of the Captain's Mansion has increased, and Nanlou does not dare to rebel. ”

Gao Shun thought about it for a while, he has a system that can identify whether these people have a rebellious heart, recruit a small number of righteous servants to divide the relationship between the various ministries and the difficult building, weaken the strength of the various ministries, and if they are unwilling to use them in the future, they can be directly disbanded as the people.

So he said: "I have several opinions, first, each tribe should not recruit too many cavalry, and the Dudubo, Tunchang and above officers must be Han Chinese; secondly, they may be allowed to enjoy the same salaries and food and other treatment as our cavalry, and their families must be moved to live in the designated counties and townships of Dai County or Shanggu County, and they can meet once a year, and one officer and soldier of the cantonment can be allowed to meet with their families every month; Third, a maximum of 12 tuns were recruited, Gaoliucheng and Daoren County were each stationed in two tuns, and the remaining eight tuns were led by Wan Sima and stationed in Guangning City, Wan Sima no longer governed the infantry in the future, and the infantry was personally led by Captain Zhou; The cavalry of Xu Sima Ba Yitun was temporarily led by Wan Sima to assist Wan Sima in forming a righteous servant; Fourth, horses and weapons are provided by them, and consumables such as arrows can be provided by the school captain's office. Do you have any objections? ”

Wan Hong was very happy, the feeling of leading 8 cavalry was different from that of bringing 8 infantry. He suggested: "Gao Junshi, even if 1,200 Wuhuan cavalry are recruited, there are nearly 10,000 of their families, if all of them are moved inland, it will be a step of stability, Hongyi suggested, those who are willing to move inward can move inward, and those who are unwilling to move inward, then take their families as a unit, and form their families into a new town, ten families in each town, let them graze in the open area north of Daijun Zhishui and north of Jiming Mountain in Shanggu County, the number of people in each Yiluo is not large, it is easy to control, and it has not strengthened its control, Hong suggested appointing a chief official to take charge of the distribution of money, grain, and other salaries and trade affairs in each district, and as long as they lived well, they would certainly not rebel; In addition, Hong suggested that the Han people should serve as the tun chief, and if even Dubo let the Han people serve as the chief, I am afraid that the Wuhuan people will not be highly motivated. ”

Gu Chang suggested: "In this case, it is better to cancel the post of Du Bo and only set up a tun chief, who will be a hundred generals." ”

"Haha, okay, the advice of the two is very good." Gao Shun arranged again: "This matter is decided by Zifei, Justice and Ziyi after consultation, and Ziyi is fully responsible for trade matters with the Wuhuan Ministries; In the afternoon, you will appoint officials who are in charge of the affairs of the various tribes, and you must cooperate with each other to play the role of dividing and disintegrating the tribes, and at the same time, you must firmly grasp the Wuhuan righteousness. ”

"Yes, Strategist!"

Gu Tong questioned again: "Military advisor, the traces of differentiation and disintegration in this way are too obvious, and the tribes will definitely not agree." ”

"At this time, Yi'er only needs to promise that taxes and tribute will still be under the jurisdiction of the tribes." Gao Shun thought to himself, let them make another year of cheapness, and then wipe them all out next year.

"Yes, Strategist."

The formation of Wuhuan Yicong is contrary to Gao Shun's intentions, but the current strength is too weak, which is a helpless choice.

Zhou Fei was also a little discouraged, and after everyone dispersed, he asked: "Lord, why don't we annihilate all the Wuhuan tribes in Dai County and Yanmen County, so that the strength of Nanlou will be greatly reduced, and it will not be so arrogant." ”

Gao Shun explained: "Hehe, I also want to annihilate them all, but I want to go to Youzhou and Jizhou to recruit troops as soon as possible, and the Yellow Turban Uprising is coming soon, the time is very tight, and at present, I can only stabilize the Wuhuan people first and buy time." ”

Zhou Fei understood Gao Shun's thoughts, so he didn't care anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Shun served as a junior civil official, Ding Hui, Zijun, as a special official for the management of Wuhuan Yiluo; Another 12 junior military attachés were sent to serve as the commanders of the Yicong cavalry.
