With the expansion of Sun Ce's power and the surge of soldiers under his command, Sun Ce had to temporarily stop his crusade against Yuan Shu. It's not that Sun Ce doesn't want to take Shouchun in one go, but that the men and horses under his command are exhausted, and because of the surge in the number of troops, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the phenomenon of good and bad is uneven.

Therefore, it is definitely not a wise move to start a war with Yuan Shu, who is recuperating under such conditions. At Sun Quan's strong request, Sun Ce agreed to suspend external expansion and instead implement internal rectification. For the huge army, Sun Ce did not adopt the line of survival of the fittest like Ao Lie, but accepted it all. But Sun Ce is not a fool, he knows that the combat effectiveness of the Dao army is an important factor in determining victory or defeat.

Therefore, Sun Ce divided the entire army into three parts, the first part was the most elite 20,000 men, including the 10,000 soldiers he borrowed from Ao Lie. After a series of battles and purges, the 10,000 sergeants brought from Yanjing have been reduced to more than 8,000 people, but these more than 8,000 people can be called elites, together with the other 12,000 elites, mixed into Sun Ce's direct pro-army, becoming an elite army without a number. It should be mentioned here that Qu A was called Danyang in ancient times, and Danyang has always been a place rich in elite soldiers, and after Sun Ce got Qu A, he immediately recruited thousands of Danyang elite soldiers, and Yanjing's 8,000 elite soldiers together formed the skeleton of the pro-guard army. And the elite guards formed by Sun Ce is, in fact, the predecessor of the Su Guard Army, the only elite unit that can be used in Eastern Wu in later history.

The second part of the army, numbering about 50,000. This part of the people is composed of sergeants who rank in the middle of the combat effectiveness. The reason why Sun Ce was able to rise from the ground and build the Sun family's high-rise buildings in Jiangdong in a short period of time was inseparable from the support of the major scholars in Jiangdong. Among them, the most representative figures are the two brothers Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, whom Sun Ce relies on and trusts the most, in addition to Zhou Yu. So. In order to repay the support of the Jiangdong Shi clan, and also to better and more closely tie them to his own warship, Sun Ce deliberately took out 50,000 soldiers in the middle of the combat power and distributed them to various civil and military officials.

The situation of Jiangdong and Youhe is different, the Jiangdong Shi clan is quite influential in the local area, and without the support of the Shi clan, even if Sun Ce gets Jiangdong, he can't control the overall situation, which is created by Jiangdong's special humanistic atmosphere and long-term historical phenomena. Originally, Sun Ce didn't want to continue to rely on the Jiangdong Shi clan, but after a long talk with Sun Quan. Sun Quan argued with reason, listing the influence of the Jiangdong Shi clan one by one, the benefits that could be obtained by wooing them, and the damage that would be caused by rejecting them, Sun Ce changed his original intention, decided to try his best to get more support from the Jiangdong Shi clan, and officially appointed Sun Quan as the Minister of the Interior. Responsible for coordinating the relationship between the various clans in Jiangdong.

The last part of the sergeants numbered about 30,000 people. These people are part of the lower combat effectiveness. When taken to the battlefield, it can only play the role of cannon fodder. But after all, this was also 30,000 soldiers, and Sun Ce's foundation was not stable, and he was reluctant to throw them away, so he sent them to various places as county soldiers, and at the same time ordered the county guards to train them strictly. We should strive to enhance our combat effectiveness as soon as possible and become reserve soldiers of the main force.

When Sun Ce was drasticly carrying out internal rectification, Ao Lie, who was in Yanjing, also received a series of good news. First of all, Zhao Yun led the army back victoriously. In the shortest possible time, he quickly pacified the remnants of the Eastern Xianbei Kebineng, so that the Eastern Xianbei Territory officially became one of the components of the Han Dynasty's territory. Then, Lu Bu also returned to Yanjing, and like Zhao Yun, Lu Bu used a faster speed to completely sweep away the remnants of the Xianbei Budu root in the west. The victory of the two is really gratifying. Of the three Xianbei tribes with a vast territory, two have been completely subdued, and only a dozen or so small tribes in the central Xianbei are still surviving.

The successive returns of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun not only brought back the news of victory, but also brought back a large number of frozen cattle and sheep, as well as many Xianbei people who were willing to move to the mainland. In the battle of pacifying the three Xianbei tribes, many Xianbei soldiers failed to return to the grassland, and their cattle and sheep family business was privately annexed by other tribal leaders, and later Zhao Yun and Lu Bu led the army to pacify the two Xianbei tribes in the east and west, and these frozen cattle and sheep came to their hands and returned to the families of the Xianbei soldiers who died in the battle. At the same time, the families of those soldiers who died in the war saw that the Han army had committed no crime against the ordinary Xianbei people, and sent back the cattle and sheep that had been stolen by the tribal leaders, so they willingly offered the cattle and sheep and followed the Han army to Yanjing.

The Xianbei people brought back by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun totaled more than 40,000 people, plus the more than 100,000 Xianbei troops captured by Ao Lie in the previous wars, the number of Xianbei people in Yanjing City reached an astonishing 150,000, almost half of the number of Han people in the city. The number of Xianbei people in Yanjing City has surged, which is another happy trouble for Ao Lie.

The more people you have, the more wealth you can create. Therefore, the size of the population is an indirect reflection of a country's comprehensive national strength, and it is also the most important resource of a country. Of course, Ao Lie hoped that the more people under his rule, the better, but now Ao Lie had to calm down and think carefully about the problem of the Xianbei people.

In Ao Lie's plan, these 150,000 Xianbei people must accept the integration with the Han people, and while learning etiquette and production, they can also drive the enthusiasm of the Han people to the Han people, and get rid of the lazy habits that have been cultivated for a long time due to comfort. In the army, the courage and ruthlessness of the Xianbei soldiers can also stimulate the Han army and make the Han army regain its will to fight. These are all good influences, but the internal migration of a large number of Xianbei people has also brought a lot of negative impacts.

The Xianbei people are nomadic peoples, and in order to cope with the harsh winters, they often launch raids against the people and the people in the winter, and have been the case for decades. Therefore, the Han people are extremely hostile to the Xianbei people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these two ethnic groups are mortal enemies. As a result, the Han residents in Yanjing City did not identify with the new Xianbei people, and there were often scenes of a group of Han people besieging a Xianbei person. Ao Lie is worried that in the long run, not only will the Xianbei people not integrate into the Han people, but it will stimulate the wildness in the hearts of the Xianbei people, and there will be a riot in Yanjing City, which is not what Ao Lie wants to see.

In dealing with the problem of Xianbei people, no one can help Ao Lie, not even Zhuge Liang. Because the people under Ao Lie's command, no matter how clever they are, they are always people of this era. It is impossible for their thinking to transcend the limitations of this era, and they do not understand the meaning of the word national integration alone. Therefore, how to deal with the problem of the Xianbei people can only be solved by Ao Lie himself.

However, Ao Lie's troubles did not stop there, and before he could come up with a proper solution, the central Xianbei, led by several leaders, actually gave up resistance. took the initiative to bow down to Ao Lie, and expressed his willingness to obey Ao Lie's arrangement and move to the mainland to live. There are two reasons that prompted the Xianbei people in central China to make this decision, first. Ao Lie's bravery and resourcefulness made the warlike Xianbei people feel a deep fear. They don't think they're Ao Lie's opponents; Second. After hearing Ao Lie's attitude towards the Xianbei captives, they knew that Ao Lie would not exterminate them, so they had no biggest worries, and compared with the desolate prairie and the prosperous Dahanzhou County, they were of course more willing to move to the interior to live.

The surrender of Xianbei in the middle of the country made Ao Lie feel relieved at the same time. It was even more distressing. He couldn't think of any good way to resettle the 150,000 Xianbei people alone, and now there are more Xianbei people in the entire central part of the country, what can he do?

While Ao Lie was pondering, Sun Shangxiang came. Sun Jian's death. was tightly covered by Ao Lie, she didn't hear any wind at all, and she was still as happy as usual. Seeing Ao Lie's sad face, Sun Shangxiang pouted and asked, "What's wrong?" The face is so bad. Sister Yan'er and Sister Mi'er asked me to come and tell you that they have made a table of delicious food and are waiting for you to eat together. ”

Seeing Sun Shangxiang, Ao Lie immediately put all his worries behind, stretched out his hand to pull Sun Shangxiang's soft twing, pulled Sun Shangxiang into his arms, and let her sit down on his lap. Since he and Sun Shangxiang and Zhen Mi have determined their names, Ao Lie is no longer so gentlemanly, and he often teases the second daughter a little. Zhen Mi still blushes occasionally now, but Sun Shangxiang, the female overlord, is very open, and she can't run away anyway, she is Ao Lie's woman sooner or later, what's the difference between earlier and later?

Obediently sat down on Ao Lie's lap, Sun Shangxiang showed a rare look of pity, and said softly: "You haven't eaten with our three sisters for a long time, to be honest, we miss you very much, but I also know that you are busy with affairs, so it is not good to disturb you." ”

Ao Lie's big hands were dishonestly placed on Sun Shangxiang's buttocks, kneading them casually, but he pretended to be surprised on his face, and said in surprise: "Huh? When did the dignified overlord become so gentle? Is it a mistake, in fact, you are not Shang Xiang, you are Yan'er or Mi'er pretending to be makeup? ”

Sun Shangxiang raised his hand and twisted it lightly on Ao Lie's ear, and the momentum of the female overlord gradually tended to rise: "What? As long as the two sisters are gentle and lovely, can't I be gentle? Come on, do you want to eat with us? At the same time, Sun Shangxiang also stretched out his other hand and slapped off a pair of claws pressed on his buttocks.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let's go eat." Ao Lie pretended to give in and begged Sun Shangxiang for mercy. Sun Shangxiang smiled happily, took Ao Lie's arm, and pulled him to the backyard, while walking, Sun Shangxiang also told Ao Lie about the interesting things that happened around him, one by one, in Sun Shangxiang's heart, it is really a very happy thing to be able to share the little secrets of his heart with his beloved man.

"Do you know the truth? Aunt Wang in the north of the city is so pitiful, he has five sons, but none of them are around, the five sons live in five different places, it is rare to come back to Yanjing to visit Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang is really a good godson, I heard that her five sons are very harmonious with each other, and at the end of every year, they will come back together to accompany Aunt Wang for the New Year...... "Sun Shangxiang took the trouble to tell the trivial things that happened around him, and told them in detail.

Ao Lie interjected strangely and asked, "Then how did Aunt Wang make these five sons so obedient?" Sun Shangxiang smiled quietly: "Actually, it's nothing to put it bluntly, Aunt Wang once set the rules when she was young, if anyone provokes conflicts between brothers, don't recognize Aunt Wang's mother, I heard, this is a family rule handed down by Aunt Wang's ancestors." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Ao Lie listened to Aunt Wang's story in his ears, but he was thinking about the affairs of Xianbei people in his heart, and the two things gradually overlapped in Ao Lie's heart, and a clear vein appeared in Ao Lie's mind. Now, Ao Lie is like Aunt Wang, the Han and Xianbei people under her rule are equivalent to the five sons of Aunt Wang, and the most important one between brothers is to have the same root and the same origin, which can be called brothers.

If Ao Lie eliminates the title of Xianbei people, let Xianbei people regard themselves as Han people, which can not only allow Xianbei people to quickly integrate into the Han people, but also retain the dignity of the Han people on the face, and can maximize the resolution of the contradictions between the two ethnic groups, so that the people of the two ethnic groups become brothers with the same root, after that, Ao Lie set a death rule, willing to eliminate the Xianbei title, people who join the Han people, will get the same treatment as the Han people, if there are extreme Han people to make things difficult for them, it is a blatant contempt for Ao Lie's decree, when the time comes, There will be relevant laws and regulations to sanction them. After the integration is completed, the 150,000 Xianbei people in the city will be scattered and scattered to live in various counties and counties within the territory of the Youhe Union, so that there will be no riots, and it will be more conducive to ethnic integration. As for the Xianbei people who still remained on the grassland, Ao Lie decided to let them automatically remove the title of Xianbei people and change their names to Han people. At that time, Ao Lie will arrange manpower to go to the grassland to reclaim the wasteland, while guiding the Sinicized Xianbei people to farm, and at the same time building a city on the grassland, so that the people who stay on the grassland can live a better life. Winning the sincere submission of these left-behind personnel is equivalent to opening up a huge self-reserved land in his rear, where the land is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles, and Ao Lie will not have to worry about food and salary in the future.

As for whether the Xianbei people were willing to revoke the title of Xianbei, Ao Lie didn't think about it at all. Nomads, especially the Xianbei people, have always respected the strong, and the inheritance of their own culture is far less important than that of the Han people. If Ao Lie is stronger than them, they will definitely obey Ao Lie's orders. At the same time, in their hearts, they also yearn for the life of the Han people, and give them a chance to join the Han family, Ao Lie believes that they will not refuse.

Of course, these ideas are just a general idea, and for specific operational matters, Ao Lie will have detailed consultations with Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and others. Strive to solve the problems of Xianbei people as perfectly and properly as possible, and what Ao Lie wants is the kind of solution once and for all. With Yuan Shu's arrogance to become the emperor, the actions of the princes everywhere are also getting bigger and bigger, Ao Lie feels more and more critical in the form, it is impossible for him to operate slowly as before, after solving the problem of the sinicization of the Xianbei people as soon as possible, Ao Lie still has a lot of things to do, the development of the Buyeo Oilfield, the development of new naval ships, the immortal Li Dao Guo Yan and other problems in Xiliang, Ao Lie needs to solve them one by one in the shortest possible time.

After his thoughts became clear, Ao Lie smiled and kissed Sun Shangxiang on the cheek, and praised him sincerely: "It's really a family with a wife, what more can a husband ask for......" (to be continued......)
