In order to completely stabilize the hearts of the Nanban people, Wang Xu traveled to the land of Nanzhong in the following days, personally meeting with the leaders of various large and small settlements, understanding their thoughts in detail, gaining an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Nanban settlements, and briefly talking about his own strategy for leading the Nanban, and gently pacifying.

This made him more prestigious and loved by the Southern Barbarians.

Time passed in a hurry, and more than two months later, the counties of Nanzhong basically completed the initial control, and Wang Xu boldly promoted the people of insight among the Nanban tribes, so that the pioneers of these ethnic groups could work together with the officials transferred from Yizhou to govern Nanzhong.

Li Hui, who was originally highly regarded by him, also showed superior skills during this period, and proposed many practical governance methods, coupled with his own military and political understanding, benevolence and righteousness, self-purity, and relatively close to and understanding of the barbarians, so he was finally officially awarded the post of governor of Nanzhong, fully responsible for Nanzhong affairs, but benefited from the supervision of the state's assassination history.

At the same time, the barbarian king, who was dedicated to the development and progress of the race, was also appointed as the deputy governor of Nanzhong, in charge of barbarian affairs, commanding the barbarians, and also assisting Li Hui in handling Nanzhong affairs.

At first, Wang Xu was a little worried that the barbarian king might not be convinced by Li Hui, but he didn't expect Li Hui to be able to speak well, and he knew the psychology of the barbarians, and soon got the recognition and affirmation of the barbarian king, plus the barbarian king was determined to let the barbarians get out of the mountains and become as strong as the Han people, so they were very cooperative, and the two established a certain trust and tacit understanding in a short period of time.

In addition, there are many well-known young warriors within the barbarians, such as Putu and Puana, as well as Meng Shu and others. They were all recruited by Wang Xu to serve in the army.

These practices. Not only did he get a strong boost. It also made the Southern Barbarians love him more and believe in him more.

It must be known that although the Southern Barbarians have been classified into the Han Dynasty for many years and have been included in the category of the Han people, they have no status, and those Han officials are high in their eyes, some small settlements. was even scraped by a county order to be unable to raise his head.

A small number of Nanban people who live in the Han people and villages are even more low-status, and their lives are very difficult, if they meet enlightened parents and officials, it is okay, if they meet discriminatory against them, it is really suffering, and most of the local scholars and wealthy families in Yizhou, who were in power before, discriminated against them.

It's not that the barbarians are willing to be oppressed in their hearts, but that they are frightened by the army of the Great Han, and they have not resisted once or twice for generations. But all of them were suppressed by thunder, and many settlements disappeared as a result. So as long as you can survive and are not forced into a real corner, you are not willing to resist.

Therefore, being an official in the Han Dynasty is something that barbarians can't even think of, but Wang Xu, the holy lord, used this to fulfill his first promise.

This hand, Zhuge Liang in history also did it, and he has also been loved and respected by the Southern Barbarians for generations.

Since then, the Nanban people have fallen into a frenzy.

Subsequently, Wang Xu announced the recruitment of Nanban warriors and incorporated them into the main army of Jingyi Erzhou, and the treatment and promotion opportunities were equal to those of other soldiers.

The original intention was just to deepen the connection between the two clans, and at the same time to supplement the combat power of Jingyi Erzhou, but unexpectedly, it completely exploded.

Not only did he not expect that to be the result, but even Guo Jia, who proposed to build yì, also did not expect it.

When the barbarian warriors heard the news, they were like crazy, and countless people wanted to join the army.

In ten days, the number of people has soared to more than 40,000.

Wang Xu hurriedly looked for the barbarian king to consult with several major tribal leaders, but got a jaw-dropping answer.

The barbarian king said: "Holy Lord, the Southern Barbarian warriors themselves advocate fighting, join the army, not only have paid food to receive, but also manage full, and even kill many enemies can be officials, generals, and there is a certain amount of compensation for death, but in some dangerous mountains of the Southern Barbarians, it is common for no one to know when they die, who would not want this kind of good thing?" ”

Wang Xu was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

It's not that he thinks it's bad to have a lot of soldiers, and it's not that Jing Yi Erzhou can't afford to raise them now, the important thing is the proportion of members in the army!

The proportion of the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians in the entire main army must not exceed a certain number, otherwise there will be chaos.

The fighting effectiveness of the Nanban warriors is indeed strong, not only is they not afraid of death, but their individual combat ability is even more outstanding, but they also have a fatal shortcoming, that is, they lack strict discipline and correct ideological concepts.

But these can't be changed in a short period of time, if the number suddenly becomes uncontrollable, I'm afraid that these warriors can't be suppressed by any other generals except him, the Holy Lord, so isn't it messed up? It was impossible for him to follow the Southern Barbarian soldiers all day long.

At that time, this team with strong combat effectiveness was no longer a helper, but a chaotic one, and the chaos of the strict zhòng broke the order of the entire army.

But these problems were impossible to discuss with the barbarian king and others, and then, he found Guo Jia and asked for a solution.

However, Guo Jia's meaning was even more resolute, requiring that the number of Nanban sergeants must not exceed 60,000, and if it exceeded 60,000, even he didn't know how to command, let alone effectively control it.

In the end, the two decided to use only the most elite warriors as an excuse to keep the number at 60,000.

The barbarian warriors were excited, and after that, the most common scene was that the barbarian warriors fought with each other, especially between different settlements, and they fought fiercely, after all, between the barbarian settlements, there was also fierce competition because of the living environment and resources, and the barbarian king was only recognized as the supreme commander, but many things in each settlement were still solved separately, which was a very primitive model.

Fortunately, Wang Xu and the barbarian king came forward in person and issued a death order, not to kill or maim people, otherwise I don't know what it would look like.

After that, he stayed in Nanzhong for more than half a month, and seeing that the initial integration had been completed, Wang Xu also had the heart to return to Xiangyang, because the next thing could not be completed overnight, and it needed to be operated for a long time and done step by step.

At the end of April 199, when Wang Xu was preparing to return to Xiangyang, Ling Wanqing suddenly arrived in Jianning, Nanzhong, and found his residence.

"Wanqing, but the battle of Yuan Cao broke out?" The first time Wang Xu saw Ling Wanqing, he was already asking loudly.

"The husband is really like a god." Ling Wanqing didn't waste time, and hurriedly took out a secret letter from her bosom: "Husband, a month ago, Yuan Cao's two vanguard legions started a war in Baima, each with casualties, and the war has begun. The letter in my hand was sent by Yuan Shao from the north, and it arrived almost at the same time as our spy report, so I think it should be that he urged his husband to send troops to help. ”

"It's so fast!" Wang Xu sighed a little and said: "From the time I left Xiangyang to the present, it has been more than five months in the blink of an eye, but this has just leveled the next wave, but it has risen again and again, which really makes me feel a little powerless." ”

Ling Wanqing looked at him gently, she was also a little distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"That's it!" Wang Xu waved his hand, took a deep breath, quickly cheered up, and asked, "What about the situation in the northwest?" The soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe and the clan have retreated? ”

"It's not retreating, it's already fighting." Ling Wanqing smiled bitterly.

"Fighting? What's going on? Wang Xu was stunned: "Didn't you say that the situation was stable some time ago?" ”

"Hey!" Ling Wanqing sighed and said helplessly: "If there is no accident, if it drags on for a while, the people of the Qiang clan and the clan tribe will naturally retreat, but Zhong Xuan, who is under the division, has appointed a young man, who is weak and weak, but he is extremely shrewd, and he doesn't know how to use to suddenly persuade the Qiang clan and clan over there to completely break the stalemate that Tian Bei has worked so hard to run for so long." ”

"Who is so powerful, what is his name?" Wang Xu asked in surprise.

"This person's surname is Sima, his single name is Yi, the word Zhongda, the son of Sima Fang of the former Jingzhao Yin, and the younger brother of Sima Lang under Cao Cao!" Ling Wanqing replied quickly.

"Sima Yi!" Wang Xu almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he was terrified. "Who recommended it? When did Zhong Xuan find this person? ”

"It wasn't that long ago." Ling Wanqing frowned and said: "The details are not very clear, but I heard rumors that it seems that Sima Fang took him to visit Zhong Xuan, but Zhong Xuan said that he was Wang Zuozhicai, and tried his best to persuade him to do things under his command." ”

Damn, Sima Fang is idle and doesn't stay at home, what Zhong Xuan is going to see, it's really not too much.

Wang Xu scolded secretly in his heart, but he knew that it was purely a blind complaint, and there was no meaning, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and his eyelids jumped.

"By the way, Sima Yi has personally gone to the Qiang army to give advice to them." Ling Wanqing saw that he was silent for a long time, and then said.

"Really!" Wang Xu asked in surprise.

"Well, it's absolutely true!" Ling Wanqing said with certainty.

"This is really ......" Wang Xu opened his mouth, wanting to scold but couldn't.

No, although Sima Yi is only in his twenties, he must not be careless, this person's talent cannot be measured by common sense, and the consequences of a slight accident are unimaginable.

After thinking silently for a moment, Wang Xu decisively asked, "How is the battle situation over there now?" ”

"Tian Beijia and General Huang Zhong led the troops to defend the danger, so that they could not advance an inch for the time being, and Wei Yan, the Taishou of Hanzhong, personally led the army to guard Yangping Pass, and they were not attacked for the time being." Ling Wanqing said.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Wanqing, you first ordered someone to summon Xiangyang, so that Kuai Yue immediately put down all the affairs in his hand, transferred to Yizhou Assassin History, and immediately went to Chengdu." In addition, he ordered Xu Shu, who was sitting in Chengdu, to return to Xiangyang immediately to take over the post of soldier Cao Peng, and by the way, help me call Guo Jia over. ”

"No!" Although Ling Wanqing didn't understand why he was suddenly so nervous, she still obeyed the order.

Wang Xu walked around the room several times alone, his heart was extremely irritable, thinking about it, he still felt that the situation in the northwest could not be careless, Tian Feng didn't know how powerful Sima Yi was, maybe he was a little careless, and he said, this is really a plan that can't catch up with the changes, and the set deployment has been disrupted.

Not long after, Guo Jia hurried over, and when he saw Wang Xu's anxious expression, he couldn't help asking, "Lord, what's the matter with calling your subordinates?" ”

"Fengxiao, I want you to go to the northwest in person." Wang Xu didn't ramble and said straight to the point. (To be continued......)
