After listening to Baili Wuji, he turned his head and smiled at Chai Rong, Tie Zhu said so much, in fact, it was just the four words "one eliminates the other", but for an illiterate person, it is really not easy to say this.

Baili Wuji appreciated Tie Zhu's statement, and said to Tie Zhu with a smile: "Very good, I am very pleased that you can think so." Chen Yanzheng promoted you to the captain of the sacrificing battalion, and I made an exception. You go back to tell Chen Yanzheng and complete the next tasks well, and I won't treat him and the soldiers of the Ming army badly. ”

Tie Zhu is blessed to the soul, and when he gets the emperor's nod, then he is justified as a school captain, and Tie Zhu hurriedly thanked him.

Baili Wuji waved his hand to signal him to step back, turned his head to Chai Rong and said, "Second brother, how to talk to the two commanders of Hu Lang Gai and Governor Jiasi?" ”

Chai Rong said: "I don't know if my brother is asking about the process or the result?" ”

Baili Wuji was happy and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the result." ”

Chai Rong also said with a smile: "In my opinion, the northern nomads have vast land, but after all, due to the lack of food and sparse population, the biggest advantage of subduing them is to make them no longer invade the south, and if you really want to take their land, it is not beneficial to the country, at least for now, the gains outweigh the losses." Therefore, in accordance with the practice of the previous dynasty, he was crowned a prince and ordered to restrain the clansmen. What does my brother think? ”

Baili Wuji laughed and said, "The second brother said it thoroughly, but I want to add an article to what the second brother said." ”

Chai Rong said curiously: "Brother said to listen to it." ”

Baili Wuji said: "Garrison." ”

Chai Rong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother think twice." It was bitterly cold outside, and Mo said that the supply was not smooth, so he said that they agreed to garrison the army. Let you send the army over, what is the use of the army? If they keep to themselves, they will be the same without an army, and if they do start a rebellion, an army of 10,000 or 20,000 will not be able to contend with them outside the fortress. As far as I can see, it's better to sell them and let them be autonomous. It will always let the Central Plains settle down for a while, and when the national strength is strong, then make plans. ”

Baili Wuji nodded and said, "What the second brother said is very true. But I thought that the northern ethnic groups were chaotic, and they had not accepted the rule of the Central Plains for a long time, and sometimes they committed crimes in the south. The root of this lies in one word. Road. To garrison the two places in Lang and Ghas, as the second brother said, supply transportation is the most important, but supply transportation is the road in the final analysis, if there is an official road from Jinling Mansion to the two places with a width of three zhang, which of the difficulties mentioned by the second brother can not be solved? ”

Chai Rong naturally knew that if there was really such an official road. There was no longer any obstacle to supply and transportation, and the Central Plains army was able to reinforce the northern garrison in time. Pacifying the North is just around the corner, but what about the road? How easy is it to build such a road, how many people, how many materials, and how much money do you need to build bridges when you meet mountains and rivers? What's more, time.

This road is nearly 10,000 miles, how much time does it take to build? Five years? Decade? Or for a lifetime?

Chai Rong suddenly realized that Baili Wuji was obviously not a joke, and when he mentioned the construction of the official road from Jinling to Yanyun and Hexi through the Zhou State, it was a prelude to the realization of this plan, Chai Rong's heart throbbed, Baili Wuji This person is too unfathomable, and everything has already been planned.

Chai Rong said solemnly: "My brother is not a talent, Rong admires." If this battle is won, Rong will bring Zhou Guo to fully support the laying of this official road. ”

Baili Wuji saw from Chai Rong's expression that Chai Rong should have thought of the original Tiyì, this idea of the prefect has been brewing in Baili Wuji's heart for many years, only when the road is smooth, the Central Plains army can truly deter the northern ethnic groups, and no longer be able to be reckless by their cavalry, in order to truly give full play to the ability of the Central Plains generals to arrange troops. Otherwise, being thrown around by the northern cavalry and leading by the nose, no matter how good the general is, he will not be able to give full play to his ability.

Baili Wuji was moved in his heart, and said categorically: "With the second brother's words, the official road will definitely be completed within five years." ”

Chai Rong didn't know what basis Baili Wuji had to say this, but Chai Rong was convinced that since Baili Wuji dared to say this, it must be up to him, just like the current battle of Yanyun, Chai Rong also began to believe that Baili Wuji might really be able to withstand 400,000 with 80,000.

Chai Rong said angrily: "There is really such a day, Rong will personally congratulate his brother." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Baili Wuji immediately asked people to bring the two commanders of Lang Gai and Juansi.

Due to the incomprehensible words of the two, Chen Yanzheng deliberately brought two captives who could speak Chinese over as translators.

After starting to talk, Baili Wuji and Chai Rong learned that these two commanders were actually the khans of the two countries. In order to recruit and mobilize the herdsmen of the two countries to contribute to the Liao State to the greatest extent, Yelu Jing actually took the two khans as the commanders of the two armies and detained the families and relatives of the two khans as hostages, forcing the two countries to serve as cannon fodder for the Liao State.

This is also the reason why the two armies of Hu Lang Gai and Zhi Jiasi fought against the Ming army in Wu and Confucian prefectures without fear of death, and it is also the reason why the two armies did not hesitate to surrender when they encountered Chen Yanzheng's night attack.

Since the fight continues, the relatives are dead, so it is better to return to the Ming Kingdom and fight back, maybe you can die and live later, which is why the two khans decided to surrender.

Knowing that the two of them had absolute control over the Lang Gai and the jurisdiction of Cannes, the negotiation became much easier.

Baili Wuji didn't mean to keep it secret from Chai Rong, so he let Chai Rong participate in the negotiation together.

Baili Wuji's request was that the two armies of Lang Gai and Zhai should rest on the south side of the Great Wall north of Wu and Ruzhou, and the Ming State would bear the grain needs of the 60,000 army, but the two armies must cooperate with the Ming army to fight against the Liao army. Because of this and the other, the Liao army reduced the 120,000 troops of Hu Lang Gai and the jurisdiction of Cannes, while the Ming army had 60,000 more troops, so Baili Wuji changed his idea slightly, and handed over the defense of Wu and Confucianism to the two armies of Hu Lang Gai and the two armies of Cana, and let Chen Yanzheng's army shrink and retreat into the three states of Tan, Shun and Ji, forming a triangle to establish an inner circle of defense.

Although they had just fought a bloody battle with the Ming army, for the two of them and their soldiers, there was no unforgettable hatred with the Ming army, so once the position changed, a counterattack would be a matter of course.

However, the two had objections to Baili Wuji's proposal to station the Ming army in Hulang and Ghas. They thought that it was too far away from the Central Plains, and even if they rode the fastest horse and had the most exquisite riders, it would take at least a month to run from Langgai and Gyas to Jinling.
