"The villain is named Wang Yan, although the villain is from Yongchang, but he is a Han person, he has also read and written poetry books since he was a child, and he is currently Yongchang County Gongcao. He also lived with the barbarians for a long time, so he was entrusted by the barbarian king to come to Yizhou! Wang Yan explained. Only then did Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang understand. Zhao Feng even knew that this Wang Yan was once the Taishou of Yongchang in history, and when Meng Shu rebelled, it was he who led his troops to defend Yongchang County. Now it's just a small gongcao, but he has become a messenger for Nanban.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Feng asked, and Wang Yan talked about why he came to Chengdu this time. It turned out that since Meng was killed in Jingnan two years ago, Gao Ding and Yang Feng moved to Jingnan, and the remaining Nanzhong tribes called Yan Yan were beaten half to death by taking advantage of the danger, and many smaller tribes were even extinct. After Yan Yan withdrew his troops, these tribes still took up grudges because of Meng Shu's death, and then fought with each other. Meng You, the land of Meng Huo, who inherited the position of the patriarch of Meng Huo, and Mrs. Zhurong, the widow of Meng Huo, were unable to invade Jingnan to settle accounts with Yang Feng and Gao Ding, so they could only use these small tribes in Nanzhong. As a result, the rest of the southern and central ministries were forced to unite to resist Meng You. This scuffle has come to this point, but Meng You is a little unbearable. Not to mention the stagnation of farming, fishing and hunting, more than half of the young and middle-aged people died in battle, and this year's annual harvest is not good, a large number of farmland grains have not been harvested, and the species are almost wiped out.

At this time, Meng Jie, the eldest brother of Meng Huo, who had already been a councilor, was elected by his clan to replace the belligerent Meng You as the patriarch. As soon as he took over as the patriarch, he immediately contacted Yang Feng and expressed his willingness to give up the position of the great leader of the Southern Central Barbarians, who had been succeeded by his clan for generations. At the same time, Mon also lowered his profile to make peace with other rival tribes. At the same time, Meng You sent someone to find Wang Yan, who had a certain prestige in Nanzhong, hoping that he could come to Chengdu as an envoy of the Nanzhong Barbarian Department to speak on his behalf, asking Liu Zhang to give him grain and rice to solve the urgent need of Nanzhong. The news in Nanzhong was blocked, and when Wang Yan came to Yizhou, he learned that Xichuan had changed the sky and Liu Zhang had stepped down. However, considering that the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people were at stake, Wang Yan still came to see Zhao Feng.

"I see!" Zhao Feng looked at Meng Jie's handwritten letter, and then handed it to Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan After circulating it, the three of them saw the same intention in each other's eyes: to use this as a good opportunity to control Nanzhong in one fell swoop.

From Wang Yan's mouth, Zhao Feng figured out that Nanzhong was not all barbarians, and there were also a small number of Han people, but there were more barbarians. But it's normal to think about it, if there are more Han people than barbarians, then after a long time, with the assimilation ability of the Han nation, why let the barbarians be so troubled? Thinking about this, Zhao Feng was a little more sure about the governance of Nanzhong.

At present, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, first of all, from the 200,000 construction corps of hoarding and Zhudi, 100,000 were transferred south to Yongchang and Xinggu counties to carry out military cantonments, and then set up an official school to teach Han Chinese characters and teach the southerners the art of agriculture and mulberry. At the same time, grain and grass were drawn from Jiaozhou and Yizhou to solve the urgent need. In addition, a large-scale mutual market was carried out in Xinggu and Wuling two counties, and the barbarians exchanged leather goods, copper and iron ore, tea, medicinal materials, gold, silver and jade for various civilian materials including grain and agricultural tools, and at the same time encouraged intermarriage between the Han and the barbarians.

"In this way, in twenty years, or fifty years, the southerners will be assimilated. If there is no tyranny, there will be no more disasters! After Zhao Feng read these policies, he was also quite emotional. You can't force these barbarians to become exactly like the Han people, but don't have nothing to do with the Han people, it's enough to be able to keep to yourself and pay taxes.

"Although I am a little anxious for quick success, I am still thinking, the Northern Expedition is imminent, if the southerners are unstable in defense, what can I do?" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Kong Ming, what can you do to deal with this?" Zhao Feng knew that Zhuge Liang would not be untargeted, and he should already have corresponding countermeasures.

"It's nothing more than to follow the old law of the general, so how about recruiting barbarians as soldiers in Yuejia County immediately?" Zhuge Liang thought about it and then proposed.

"This plan is very good, the southerners are in turmoil, just because of the lack of food and clothing, and ambitious people like Meng Huo are a minority after all. If they can be recruited into the army, one will be the south and the middle can be pacified, and the other will be these barbarians brave and good at fighting, if they can be the army, the combat power is quite extraordinary! Huang Quan thought about it and strongly agreed. Zhao Feng also understood that since ancient times, the poor mountains and bad waters have come out of the people, and most of the mountain people are brave and good at fighting. The famous Danyang elite soldiers in history, as well as the pole battalion, are all from the mountainous areas, and these fishing and hunting peoples are obviously superior to the farming peoples in terms of physical fitness and warlike martial spirit.

"That's fine, it's just Kong Ming, I don't have much grain and grass left." Zhao Feng said with some concern. Although Yizhou is rich, there is not much grain and grass left after the war. As for Hanzhong, it is barely enough to be self-sufficient.

"This year's first recruitment, you don't need too much, you can recruit thousands of people. It's just a precedent, and if you need it later, you can recruit it! Zhuge Liang thought for a while. Zhao Feng had nothing to do, and ordered someone to find Yan Yan and Zhang Ren to discuss, and the two of them also felt that this method was very good, and they unanimously expressed their willingness to lead such a team.

"I'm only recruiting thousands, so why do I need to work for you two?" Zhao Feng said with a smile. After thinking about it, Zhao Feng decided that Wang Ping would still serve as the commander of this new army, and in history, he and Zhang Wei successively served as the commander of the Wudang Flying Army.

"In that case, what should this army be called?" Huang Quan saw that the formation of a barbarian army was a foregone conclusion, and hurriedly asked. Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and finally Zhuge Liang said: "There was a Wudang Fei Army before, which was composed of the Wuling barbarians; This group of centaurs is called the Flying Army! ”

"No Forward Flying Army, good!" Zhao Feng also thought that this name was good, and immediately ordered Yue Jia to guard Li Hui and let him start arranging this matter. In addition, Wang Yan was appointed as the Yongchang Taishou, Meng Jie was the Yunnan Taishou, and the local Han Haoqiang Zhu Bao was the Xinggu Taishou, temporarily guarding the three counties of Nanzhong.

What Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang didn't expect was that the Nanzhong Barbarian Department was extremely enthusiastic about recruiting into the army. Since ancient times, the southerners and barbarians have had a deep contradiction, and there has never been a matter of recruiting barbarians into the army. Now that Zhuge Liang and Zhao Feng have set this precedent, there are people in the barbarians who are watching for a while, but more of them are enthusiastic participants. After all, because the farming skills of the Nan people are far inferior to those of the Han people, their lives are very hard. Now once you enlist in the army, the military salary is very generous, and I am immediately moved. Originally, I only thought that I could recruit three or four thousand, but by the end of autumn, when the recruitment ended, it turned out to be more than eight thousand people. Zhao Feng ordered these 8,000 people to be organized into a division, which was organized and trained by Wang Ping, the general and Zitong Taishou, into an army training.

"It's indeed a rare elite!" Looking at the forward-moving flying army that has been training for a month, the combat effectiveness is more than a little better than that of the Sichuan army. Although most of Wang Ping's training methods were learned from Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang, this team was much stronger than the Sichuan army that had been trained for many years due to its outstanding innate physical fitness. It's like the same coach teaching Africans and yellow people to sprint, no matter how much the latter teaches and practice, he can't practice that black meat, there is no way to do it, this is talent, and he can't practice it.

"This kind of elite soldiers, as long as they are added, they can be compared to the Shanyue Army and the Wudang Flying Army, I am afraid that even the Danyang elite soldiers are slightly inferior" Ma Yan, who came to watch together, also sighed.

"There are many mountains in Sichuan, this group of people and horses are good at walking mountain roads, if they can suddenly cross the mountains and mountains to attack Guanzhong unexpectedly during the fierce battle, they may be able to achieve unexpected results!" Zhuge Liang is also full of confidence. In history, Shu Han went out of Qishan more than a dozen times in vain, but now most of Cao Ying's attention is contained in the Central Plains and Jingzhou, although the garrison of Guanzhong is tight, but compared with the Central Plains, it is still worse.

"By the way, Kong Ming, when did your wife enter Sichuan?" After watching the training of the Wuqian Feijun on this day, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang.

"My wife will enter Sichuan next month, is there anything wrong with the general?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"I'm thinking, last time in Hanshou, the repeater that your wife showed me, if you can equip our foot soldiers with this, then wouldn't it be like a tiger?" Zhao Feng said leisurely. In history, Shu Han was able to fight with Cao Wei's men and horses for more than 40 years under the serious shortage of cavalry, and also made northern expeditions to the Central Plains again and again, relying on this crossbow.

"That's right, since the general's disarmament and streamlining, the Sichuan army and the Hanzhong army still have a full 150,000. However, of the 150,000 Sichuan army, there were less than 7,000 cavalry. Among them, there are three thousand, which are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that General Zilong has just trained. But Xiahou Yuan in Guanzhong, he has at least 30,000 iron horsemen under his command. It's too hard to compete with a pawn! Zhuge Liang also sighed.

"So I'm going to gather the craftsmen and build this repeater. Of course, the method of making this repeater needs to be kept strictly secret. Zhao Feng thought for a while. As for how to keep it secret, it is natural to carry out assembly line production, and this thing must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Cao Jun.

"That's how it should be!" Zhuge Liang nodded, and then wrote a letter urging his wife to come as soon as possible. Zhao Feng looked at Zhuge Liang, who wrote the letter, but remembered that his wife was still in Hanshou and had not seen him for almost two years. I don't know if my son has learned to speak now, what will happen to him when he sees him, and whether he will recognize his life? Finally, Liu Bei was a little sympathetic to himself, did not leave all his wives and children as hostages, and agreed to let Zhen Mi and Diao Chan come to Xichuan to accompany him. However, she had to wait until the affairs of the Zhen family were busy before she could enter Sichuan. It's really unpleasant to think about how much I have been with my wife for so many years.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also sighed lightly. After finishing his official duties with Zhuge Liang, Zhao Feng told Ah Liang to pay attention to his body, and he returned to his home in Chengdu. This house is the one built by Liu Yan in the past, and it is far more magnificent than the Hanning Marquis Mansion in Nanzheng and Zhanglu before. After he became the owner of Xichuan, the house was rightfully inherited by Zhao Yun, the current Taishou of Hanzhong. And just now Zhao Yun sent a letter to inform him that he will officially marry Ma Yunlu next month.

"You're a lolicon!" Zhao Feng despised Zhao Yun's character while pacing into the room where Xiao Qiao lived. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a faint sigh from inside, which was Xiao Qiao's.
