"It's just a small thing, but what about the governance of the state? We're not sending someone? Can Liu Bei be able to govern it?" Frustrated, he asked.

"Liu Bei? Hehe...... It's okay to govern a small state, but I'm a little worried about his problems. I chuckled and said: "Bingzhou originally belonged to the original governance of Bingzhou Thorn Shi Dingyuan, and the governance in all aspects is not bad, as long as Liu Bei combs and assesses those officials a little, are you still worried that Lord Liu Bei can't manage it?" Besides, isn't there still Xu Shu? It is a vast and sparsely populated state, with a radius of thousands of miles, with a population of only two or three million, and it is divided into so many cities and towns, and some towns have a population of only a few thousand, so it is useless to manage it. ”

"Well, the truth is really as the lord said, I was too worried, then Liu Bei's problem, I will let the wolf supervise it well, and it will never be exposed." In fact, it is strange why the lord is worried about Liu Bei's character, seeing that he is kind, filial, and capable, and he doesn't look like he will rebel. Why Liu Bei is suspicious and useful, but since the lord has ordered it, he just does it.

"What this king likes is only the territory and population of the state, and the policy of Youzhou encourages childbirth, and it has doubled in a few decades." I patted my forehead and said, "By the way, for the governance of the party, in fact, this king also has an idea, let me tell you, see if this is okay." ”

"Oh? Lord, please speak. Frustrated Zhudu looked at Chu Xiong with great interest, to see what good ideas Chu Xiong had.

"This king intends to order Guan Yu to leave a soldier and horses of the Heavenly Wolf Army to garrison the Changdang for a long time, and the main thing is to defend the east of the Shangdang area. Let the sergeants of this army set up checkpoints in all the passages in the Shangdang area on the east side. This is mainly to guard against the possibility that those princes of the Central Plains want to take advantage of the Shangdang to attack us. ”

"This must be necessary, isn't it just to cut off the thoughts of the princes of the Central Plains to conquer and occupy the upper party?" Frustrated nodded.

"Because most of the Shangdang are ethnic minorities and it is not easy to control, this king intends to do so." I said: "Shangdang will leave a wolf army, and then, the various minority tribes in the Shangdang region will jointly form a local army, and this king will give them a formal establishment. This local army is the army that governs and maintains order within them. For example, the command of an army assigns a squad, platoon, battalion, or regiment to each of these minority nationalities according to the situation of each of their ethnic groups. A tribe of a thousand people, give a battalion formation, and let them form an army on their own according to the requirements of the Sky Wolf Army. In normal times, they can stay in their clans to engage in production and maintain order in their clans, but when the farming is idle, they must gather together for training, and once there is a war, they must obey the order to assemble urgently, and obey my orders at any time, and even ask them to leave the Shangdang area to fight elsewhere, and they must not disobey it in the slightest. ”

"Haha, lord, the last point you said is the most important, it would be best to let the minority tribes manage their civil affairs well, if not, it would be good to give us an extra army of the Celestial Wolf Army. Originally, I was also worried that if we let those minority nationalities grow, our Heavenly Wolf Army would be difficult to suppress, and I was afraid that they would be in chaos sooner or later, but if we could firmly control the army formed by the people of the minority nationalities, we would not have to worry about them making trouble. "I listened to me and felt that the last thing I said was the main thing.

It is true that Mao Taizu of later generations said that the barrel of a gun comes out of power. As long as you have the power of these minority peoples, you don't have to worry about one of the ambitious clan leaders making trouble. There are many ethnic minorities and tribes, and they must be dissatisfied with each other. Now that they are drawn into an army, it will not be able to control all their tribes very well.

"Let me tell you. There are hundreds of minority ethnic groups in China, and even if we Han people can dominate the world, it is impossible to destroy them all, right? Therefore, if those minority nationalities are allowed to live in peace with our Han people and slowly integrate into one, in the end, there will be no distinction between Han people and minority nationalities. We are all Chinese nations, and only in this way is the world we want. When will the nations attack each other and repay each other? Ultimately. Not close to the Han people or minority ethnic groups, everyone grew up drinking the water of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Same ancestry. Even though there are some differences in lifestyle, we should also be tolerant and not discriminate or despise. After I finished speaking, I stood up, seemed to stare into the distance and said, "Chinese civilization." It should be more dazzling and stronger. ”

Frustrated, Dian Wei and the two of them stood up at the same time, stepped forward and bowed: "The lord has a broad mind. With a long-term perspective, I'll be taught. ”

"You have to remember that what this king said is only a few ethnic groups that can be educated and assimilated, these ethnic groups, they are kind-hearted, yearn for the civilization and culture of our Han people, and are willing to make friends with our Han people and integrate into one. Only such a nation can we be tolerant. However, we must not be soft on individual murderous ethnic groups, especially for the alien races that have countless bad criminal records, for thousands of years, we have been eyeing the Han people in the Middle Earth, and have never stopped persecuting our foreign races, we must resolutely exterminate them, even if they are exterminated, we will not hesitate, everything, for the long-term peace and stability of our Han people. You ordered to go down and let the wolf and the underworld quickly infiltrate and develop. ”

I sighed and thought of the generations to come, even in seemingly peaceful times, where regions, nationalities, races, and even languages never stopped strife, disregard, and strife.

The United States and Iraq are still at war.

I am just talking about these situations now, and I really don't know if there will be a day when all ethnic groups can coexist peacefully.

……

After Liu Bei received Chu Xiong's letter, he also stepped up his governance and planned to quickly make achievements to Chu Xiong, for the treatment of hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the state army, Liu Bei handed it over to Xu Shu, and he was busy managing internal affairs and selecting talents, which was his strength, Liu Bei saw people very accurately, and liked to figure out other people's thoughts.

The captives were gathered outside the south gate, and Xu Shu persuaded them to surrender and dismiss them according to the previously agreed plan. In the end, about 80,000 captives expressed their willingness to join the Celestial Wolf Army. However, Xu Shu did not absorb all of these 80,000 people, but only left 60,000 of them with good physical fitness, young and strong soldiers. The remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people were all demobilized and returned to their homes.

Xu Shu organized these 60,000 soldiers into the Bingzhou Heavenly Wolf Legion, Xu Shu was ready to train outside the city of Bingzhou first, and when the Heavenly Wolf Army returned to Taiyuan, he asked Zhang Fei to assist, and Zhang Fei, a fierce general, was present to lose his temper, and he could treat these soldiers well. These soldiers undergo military training during the day and in the evening are trained by instructors sent by military academies. Progress is very fast, and it is believed that it will not be long before these pawns can become the real Sky Wolf Army. In the future, it can be sent to the border to guard the Great Wall.

After the Celestial Wolf Army pacified and annexed the state, the situation quickly calmed down. Liu Bei relied on the prestige of Chuxiong and the Heavenly Wolf Army, and through a series of measures to benefit the people, he quickly won the recognition of the people of Bingzhou.

However, at this moment, bad news came from the north. The Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei seem to have begun to move.

This made Liu Bei extremely worried, but he was not afraid to think about it, now that the Heavenly Wolf Army is hundreds of thousands here, as long as he does a good job in internal affairs and shows his talents, he will have the opportunity to be a minister.

Two days later, according to Chu Xiong's instructions, Guan Yu left Chen Zhi in Shangdang to garrison, while leading the 220,000 troops back to Taiyuan County, accepting the mixed 60,000 merge state troops, according to Chu Xiong's intentions, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Tian Yu, Zhang Ji, Zang Ba, Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, Xian Yuyin, Yan Zhong, and Xian Yufu were promoted to the commanders of the 7th to 17th armies, and Bingzhou recruited another 200,000 horse infantry troops. Even if Youzhou now has 100,000 standing troops and 280,000 mobile troops, it will also be 100,000 standing troops and 160,000 mobile troops after the annexation of Youzhou, after all, there are too few people. Chuxiong had a total strength of 640,000 troops and 440,000 mobile troops, Guan Yu was appointed Marshal of Youzhou, and Lu Bu was appointed Marshal of Bingzhou. Tian Feng is the pastor of Youzhou, Liu Bei is the pastor of the state, and the state pastor is now only in charge of internal affairs.

This Liu Bei's letter of recommendation, Liu Xie just took a look, because it was recommended by Chu Xiong, a great benefactor, and Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, after hearing Chu Xiong say that it was King Jing of Zhongshan, he was still his own imperial uncle according to his seniority, Liu Xie also felt that it was good to have one more relative to do foreign aid, so he agreed with a stroke of the pen, but he didn't know that this imperial uncle was just a state pastor with no military power.

After Guan Yu dealt with the matter here, he took Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu back to Youzhou.

As for this Zhang Xiu's historical record: he was named "Marquis of Wancheng", known as the "Gun King of the North", and made a tiger-headed golden gun. Zhang Xiu is the great apprentice of the martial arts master Tong Yuan. During the battle of Wancheng, Hu Che'er stole Dian Wei's double halberd, and then was able to pick Dian Wei with a gun. His "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear" is powerful all over the world.

Zhang Xiu was the nephew of the hussar general Zhang Ji. When Bian Zhang and Han Sui were in rebellion in Liangzhou, Jincheng's Lu Sheng attacked and killed Zu Li Chang Liu Jun. Zhang Xiu was a county official at the time, and soon looked for an opportunity to assassinate Lu Sheng, and the people in the county thought that he was very righteous, so Zhang Xiu recruited a young man and became a local hero.

In 192, Dong Zhuo was killed, and Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others attacked Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo. Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji and was promoted to General Jianzhong with military merits and was named Marquis Xuanwei.

In 196, Zhang Ji led troops from Guanzhong into the Jingzhou border, attacked the city, and died in the middle of the arrow. Zhang Xiu took over his troops and settled in Wancheng, allied with Liu Biao.

In 197, Cao Cao's southern expedition, the troops reached Huashui, and Zhang Xiu led the people to surrender. Cao Cao married Zhang Ji's widow, and Zhang Xiu hated Cao Cao because of this. Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill Zhang Xiu. As a result, the plan was leaked, Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao was defeated, and his eldest son Cao Ang was killed. Zhang Xiu led his troops in pursuit, but was repelled by Cao Cao, so Zhang Xiu retreated to defend the city and allied with Liu Biao again.

In 198, Cao Cao once again conquered Zhang Xiu and besieged Zhang Xiu in the city, which could not be conquered. Later, Cao Cao broke the siege and returned, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to pursue, Liu Biao also sent troops to reinforce, and was ambushed by Cao Cao in Anzhong and was defeated. Later, he used Jia Xu's strategy to pursue again, win and return.

In 199, Zhang Xiu followed Jia Xu's advice and surrendered to Cao Cao again. After Zhang Xiu arrived, Cao Cao took Zhang Xiu's hand, attended the banquet together, married one of his sons to Zhang Xiu's daughter, and named Zhang Xiu as the general of Yangwu.

In 200, Zhang Xiu participated in the Battle of Guandu, fought meritoriously, and was promoted to the general of Poqiang.

In 205, Zhang Xiu followed Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Tan in Nanpi, and increased the food eup, a total of 200 households, at that time, the world's household registration decreased sharply, and only one household was left in ten households, and the feudal yi among the generals did not reach 1000 households, but Zhang Xiu was particularly numerous.

In 207, Zhang Xiu followed Cao Cao to Liucheng to conquer Wuhuan, but died before he arrived, and was named the Marquis of Ding, and his son Zhang Quan succeeded him. ("Wei Luo" said: Cao Pi was dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu because of Cao Ang's death in battle, and Zhang Xiu was uncomfortable and committed suicide.) Later, Zhang Quan was killed for conspiracy against Wei, and the state took back the title.
