Xu Shu went to Hanzhong, so that Wang Xu was a lot more relieved about the battle situation over there, and Zhao Yun had a strategist by his side to assist him to check and fill in the gaps, and there should be no more major problems. Don't ask for quick restraint, as long as you can block it for a month or two, when it is exhausted, or Wei Yan of Yangping Pass defeats the foreigners, Yizhou will naturally retreat.

Only Fa Zheng's previous actions still made him worried, but before he could figure it out, there was a big problem on the barbarian's side.

The ghost genius Guo Jia personally led Huang Zhong and other generals to the south, so he naturally quickly contained the rebellion and relieved the danger of Liu Min, the governor of the barbarian tribe, even if the rebellion was completely pacified, it was only a matter of time.

What is difficult to solve is how to resolve it from the root, after all, there are too many barbarians, all over the Jingnan mountain settlements, the more you kill, the more you will intensify the contradictions, Jingzhou has no time to be entangled with the barbarians for many years, and needs to stabilize the rear, not to mention that the barbarians are still an important source of strength in Jingzhou.

Of course, Guo Jia understood the overall situation, and after repelling the barbarian vanguard and resolving the crisis in Ningyuan County, he immediately found Liu Min and had in-depth communication with him, but learned from his mouth that there was a special reason for the sudden rebellion of the barbarians who had been attached for many years......

Originally, the barbarians deeply felt Wang Xu's grace back then, and they have always been very supportive and attached to them, and the integration of the nationalities is also developing step by step, and many people are gradually civilized and fade away from primitive life.

But this kind of thing is not completely successful in three or five years, and more barbarians have adopted a compromise method to form their own settlements and townships.

These townships and counties gradually became larger, and although they obeyed the control of the Jingzhou General's Office, paid taxes every year, and provided soldiers on time, they eventually had their own military and political systems.

And in this regard, they are stubbornly committed to their own traditions. Each settlement has its own king. Then he chose the highest king from all the Wuxi barbarians. Called the King of Wuxi Barbarian, it is only nominally canonized by the General's Mansion.

Wang Xu also knew about these, and he personally approved them.

Although this move was contrary to the original intention and failed to completely disarm the barbarians, the time was not ripe after all, and it had to be so. If you push the barbarians too much, and use too drastic methods, they will become the same as before. Hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests will inevitably lead to endless troubles, and there will always be a sharp knife on your back.

Now, as long as it is kept within the scope of control and the main laws and regulations of Jingzhou can be complied with, with the development and spread of economy and culture, the roads will gradually be smoothed and exchanges will be deepened, and it will naturally come to fruition.

This qiē was going well, and the vast majority of the barbarians were satisfied with their current lives. Even those barbarians who mixed with the Han people still loved and respected Wang Xu very much. I feel that it is the one who has given them light.

But the change was more than a month ago, when Wang Xu had just set out to fight in Yingchuan.

According to Liu Min, the former barbarian king of Wuxi, that is, the leader of a barbarian tribe who supported Wang Xu the most back then, decided to pass on the strongest and most admired young warrior of Wang Xu in the clan today - Shamoke!

Subsequently, more than a month ago, he made a special trip to visit Liu Min with Shamoke to discuss specific matters.

Liu Min didn't dare to make decisions about such a major event, so he asked him to go north to Xiangyang immediately to meet at the General's Mansion, and mentioned that the matter would be kept secret, for fear of being used by someone with a heart.

The old barbarian king agreed, and then quietly took the intended successor and dozens of henchmen and warriors to the north.

But before he arrived in Xiangyang, he was attacked and killed by a strong enemy on the way, and the old barbarian king and the accompanying warriors died in battle, only Shamoke took a few warriors, and under the cover of the old barbarian king and others, he broke out of the siege, and the wolf bèi fled back to the tribe.

What's more, the group of people who attacked and killed inadvertently revealed a message: they were from the General's Mansion, in order to kill the Wuxi Barbarian King and his successor, and take away the Wuxi Barbarian Inheritance Totem Holy Relic, so as to completely disintegrate the barbarians, and make their entire tribe forever used by the General's Mansion as a victim of war.

Shamoke, who had escaped death, heard these with his own ears, coupled with the fact that they went north, and only told Liu Min, the governor of the barbarian tribe, that it was true.

Mixed with grief and indignation, after he returned to the tribe, he immediately instigated the tribe to rebel, although most of the people in the tribe mourned the death of the old barbarian king, but they were skeptical of what he said, after all, Wang Xu had a very high prestige in their hearts, and Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, was deeply loved in the hearts of all the tribes outside the Saiwai. So only a few hundred young men close to him followed the rebellion, intent on revenge.

However, Liu Min did not know why, and when he learned that Shamoke suddenly led a rebellion of several hundred barbarians, the situation would inevitably expand, and he immediately rushed with his troops, originally to understand the reason and persuade Shamoke to surrender.

Because according to his previous understanding of Shamoke, he should love and admire Wang Xu very much, and once said in front of the old barbarian king: It was Wang Xu who gave them wealth and comfort, light and a future, and he was willing to follow him for life.

But because Liu Min didn't know the details, this move of sending troops instantly stimulated the barbarians who were suspicious, and what was not there was also implemented, and a large-scale rebellion broke out in an instant, and Shamoke naturally moved to the new king of Wuxi and attacked Liu Min to take revenge.

When Guo Jia learned the cause and effect from Liu Min's mouth, he was even more anxious, frowning and thinking hard in the backyard study of Ningyuan County Government, while Liu Min sat pitifully next to him, sighing non-stop.

Guo Jia was silent for a long time, but because the matter was too strict, he couldn't help but reprimand: "This is really terrible, your troops are still small-scale, and the barbarians who are stimulated are only a small part, but as the conspiracy spreads more and more, I will lead a large number of sergeants to come this time, won't it stimulate the turmoil of the entire barbarians, and the consequences are unpredictable!" ”

"As the governor of the Barbarian Protector, how could you be so careless in the first place? Since he noticed that the new barbarian king Shamoke was inconsistent, there should be something strange in it, why did he send troops hastily? Even if you send troops, why don't you report to the General's Mansion as soon as possible? ”

Liu Min's face was full of bitterness, he sighed, and blamed himself: "Guo Junshi, this matter is indeed a dereliction of duty on behalf of his subordinates!" At first, I thought that the barbarians would be stable for a long time and would not cause chaos, so I didn't care too much, but I didn't think it was so complicated, until I got a few words from the barbarians' mouths, and I didn't understand it until I scrutinized it back and forth! But at that time, I had been besieged in Ningyuan County, and I sent people to break through and spread the message several times, but I was also intercepted and killed, and I was really powerless. The big mistake has been made, and the subordinates can only wait for the lord to fall! ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately reprimanded sharply: "The crime is small, but the barbarian is big!" Now Jingzhou is upright and eventful. If the barbarian matter is not properly resolved. Not only were years of hard work ruined. The plan to enter Shu will inevitably be postponed, no one can afford this responsibility, you have been the governor of the barbarian affairs for many years, but you have made such a mistake, how to deal with it? ”

"I wonder how to remedy it now?" Liu Min asked with a dejected face.

Guo Jia shook his head and said helplessly: "This matter is no longer a war, and I am powerless to remedy it alone, but the lord is the only one." With the barbarians' love and trust in the lord, they may be able to get a chance to communicate, but they can only report to the lord quickly! ”

"Hey!" Liu Min sighed, there was no other way, even if he understood that if Wang Xu came, he would have no chance to atone for his sins, but he still admitted it.

Wang Xu was in Xiangyang, and when he got a joint emergency report from Guo Jia and Liu Min, he was so angry that his face turned blue and he was heartbroken: "Liu Min! Liu Min! You have ruled the barbarians for many years. I also tell you to be cautious about the barbarians. Why did you make such a big mistake? How do you let me cure your sins! ”

Diao Chan happened to walk into the study with a teacup, and when he saw him so angry, he couldn't help but comfort him softly: "Husband, don't be angry, be careful of hurting your body!" ”

"Hey!" Wang Xu sighed heavily, sat back on the Hu bed, and when he looked back at Diao Chan, his face was a lot gentler. "Don't worry, I'm not that weak."

Diao Chan smiled softly and gently put the teacup in front of Wang Xu. "Husband is working hard for state affairs, drink some tea first, and calm down!"

"Hmm!" Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Wang Xu was still wandering in his mind about the barbarians, and Diao Chan moved the lotus step lightly, sat beside him and rubbed his shoulder.

After a while, Wang Xu grabbed Diao Chan's Qianqianyu hand and said gently: "Cicada, I'm not tired, you can go and rest by yourself!" Also, call someone for me to inform Ling Wanqing, Dian Wei, Huang Xu, and Liao Hua, and order them to pack up and wait for me at the South City Gate! ”

Diao Chan's slender hand trembled, and he already understood the meaning of his words, and immediately his face was full of reluctance: "Is the husband going to travel far again?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu sighed and said helplessly: "I don't want to either, but now that the barbarians are in turmoil, I can't solve it unless I go personally." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took Diao Chan into his arms and kissed the white and tender forehead. "Cicada, I fight in the south and the north, and I often travel, but I am wronged that you are waiting hard at home, and when the world is calm in the future, I will accompany you well."

Diao Chan obediently shrunk into his arms, enjoying a moment of warmth. "Don't say that, the husband works hard for the military affairs, the cicada is very proud, and he is already very happy and content to be so favored by the husband."

At this moment, a little girl suddenly rushed in, did not speak, and directly threw herself into Wang Xu's arms from the other side, holding on to the little beggar who Wang Xu had rescued.

"Yo! Xiao Yingying, what's wrong? Wang Xu suddenly smiled dotingly.

"Brother, don't go, okay?" Xiao Yingying doesn't like to talk and is a little afraid of people, but she is particularly attached to Wang Xu.

Scratching the small Qiong nose lovingly, Wang Xu coaxed softly: "Xiao Yingying, it won't be long before my brother goes to catch the bandits, and he will come back to accompany you soon, you have to listen to the words of a few sisters-in-law at home." ”

Xiao Yingying is very smart, when she heard this, her big eyes instantly moistened: "My brother lied, I said this last time, but it was two months away!" ”

"Huh! The little girl is clever. Wang Xuwan smiled, and then said: "Yingying, my brother is reluctant to let you go, but my brother must go to catch the bandits!" Do you think, those people are so bad, don't they arrest them, and don't go around bullying people? It's like Yingying was bullied in the first place! ”

Xiao Yingying's eyes showed a look of fear, thought about it, and finally said: "That brother caught the bad guy, so he has to come back quickly!" ”

"Of course! My brother also promised to teach you martial arts in person! ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Yingying finally showed a bright smile and said sensibly: "Then Yingying must listen to the sisters-in-law and wait for my brother to come back!" ”

"Yingying is really good, then go and play with your sister-in-law Cai Yan."

"Hmm!" Xiao Yingying responded very obediently this time, and ran away in a hurry.

This made Wang Xu feel very warm, staring at Xiao Yingying who ran out of the door, and turned around for a long time. "Cicada, you can also go and deliver the message for me, I want to be quiet first!"

Diao Chan frowned worriedly, but walked away slowly.

After pondering alone in the study for a while, Wang Xu didn't bring anything, and didn't wait for Xu Shu to come back from her workshop to say goodbye, only brought her own cadre sword, and rode to the city gate on white frost......
