Horse thieves and thieves are definitely the most annoying force for players in the early stage, and when the country develops later, horse thieves and thieves are basically wiped out.

However, in their place are the nomadic tribes, which, like the barbarians, can also be treated as a state, only more aggressively.

This kind of chaotic area, of course, is not suitable for the development of players, but Ren Tian's mountain character army, itself can be disguised as a mountain thief and horse thief, and it is a regular army dressed in the skin of a bandit.

Therefore, Ren Tian's eyes lit up after hearing that there were so many horse thieves in this county, and now that the new country wants to recuperate and cannot expand externally, the Shanzi Army can come in handy, and even show its skills.

A cloud of muddy water is conducive to fishing.

"Your Majesty, this county is called Guangling County, and it has not been detected how big the county is for the time being, and the three cities of the Lieguo in Guangling County have been taken over by us and sent some troops to be stationed there, but the question is, does Your Majesty want to use these three cities as a military stronghold border line, or as ordinary cities?"

Ren Tian pondered for a moment and looked at Tian Dan.

Tian Dan understood, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that these three cities be used as military strongholds first, there are many horse thieves in Guangling County, and there are often horse thieves attacking the city, so you can send troops to garrison and defend." ”

Ren Tian nodded: "Yes." ”

"Your Majesty, there are still some small countries in Pingyuan County, and they refuse to submit to my new country, how should they deal with it?"

Ren Tian groaned, when Chen Tang and them attacked by surprise before, Ren Tian also knew that those neutral countries had just broken free from the rule of the Lieguo, and naturally they were not willing to be controlled by the new country in the blink of an eye, and they still helped the Xinguo overthrow the Lieguo, at this time, if the Xinguo dared to make a move against those neutral countries, I believe that the people's will will remain at a very low level, rebellions often occur, and the national prestige of the Xinguo among these neutral countries will definitely plummet wildly.

This is not in line with Ren Tian's interests.

But if these small countries are not unified, then there are still some scattered small countries in the plains, which are self-contained and do not belong to the jurisdiction of the new country, and it is not good.

Ren Tian looked at all the courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Lu Zhonglian clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you establish the Metropolitan Protectorate?" ”

Ren Tian was slightly stunned, and Lin Xiangru was also happy: "Your Majesty, this is a good plan, establish the capital protectorate, let those small countries accept the jurisdiction of the centralized jurisdiction, although they are still independent countries, but they must also accept the jurisdiction of our new country, as a line of defense to defend Guangling County, a wonderful plan." ”

At this time, Ren Tian also figured out the capital protection, the so-called capital protection, regarded as the military and political chief of the Han Dynasty, set up political and military rights in one, the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions in order to rule, set up the capital protection house, the most famous, is the Western Regions protector, Ban Chao.

In the game, this Metropolitan Protectorate is a variant, and the player sets up the Metropolitan Protectorate, which can take in the small countries nearby and let them accept jurisdiction, nominally for protection, although it does not affect their independence, but it is also greatly convenient for themselves, and there will be no rebellion.

Moreover, Bai Qi and others are all stationed in Pingyuan County, and directly set up the Metropolitan Protectorate and let Bai Qi concurrently serve as the Metropolitan Protectorate, which is not a conflict, after having the Metropolitan Protectorate, it can make those small countries gradually increase their sense of identity and take the initiative to defect to the new country, as a strategy to boil frogs in warm water.

Ren Tian was overjoyed: "Okay, just Yilu Aiqing's strategy, general, this plain county is the protector of the palace, and you will also serve as it." ”

"Yes."

A holy decree went down, Ren Tian was in a good mood, and had a drink with everyone again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I remember correctly, in the good news that came before, it seems that there is still a threat in Pingyuan County that has not been eliminated?"

Chen Tang clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this general knows that in the eastern part of Pingyuan County, there are many mountains, rivers and woodlands, and there is a barbarian tribe there, according to the scout's observation, the number of barbarian tribes is as many as 50,000. ”

A barbarian tribe with a population of more than 50,000 is a bit exaggerated, and in the game, this can only be regarded as a small barbarian tribe.

Xie Dang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the barbarians are thirsty for killing, have no education, do not know etiquette, if they are left alone, sooner or later they will become a disaster for my new country, and the minister suggests that troops be sent to get rid of this barbarian tribe." ”

Ren Tian's face remained unchanged, and he looked at the rest of the courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, speak freely, even if you say it, I don't blame you for saying it, and you will express your opinions." ”

Lin Xiangru opened his mouth and said: "The minister also thinks that the barbarians are still good except for them, and if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. ”

Ximen Leopard said in a deep voice: "The barbarians believe in witchcraft, Your Majesty can let me govern the army, and I can break the barbarians' witchcraft." ”

Three to fight.

Ye Gong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, let's think about it for the time being, there are tens of thousands of people in the barbarian tribe, and the barbarian tribe, those warriors are all extremely brave, and they can be ten with one, if they really fight, I am afraid that my new ** team will be exhausted." ”

Hu Che'er said angrily: "Why bother to grow others to destroy their own prestige? Let the general lead the army and directly set foot on the barbarian tribe. ”

There was some excitement in the court, but Meng Ben was sitting there, grabbing the chicken leg with his left hand and gnawing frantically, and then grabbing another bun with his right hand, eating it in one bite, he didn't care at all about what the people around him said.

Su Shi sat there, he couldn't talk about this kind of thing, and he wasn't composing lyrics and poems, he was not very good at this kind of government affairs.

Bai Qi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's suggestion is not to attack easily, the barbarians are brave and brave, and it is very difficult to entangle, not to mention that the place where the barbarians live is the mountains and rivers and woodlands, the cavalry cannot enter, and the ordinary foot soldiers are not suitable, only the mountain soldiers are suitable for fighting in this terrain, and at this point, the barbarians are naturally superior to us." ”

Zhong Liwu also opened his mouth and said: "That's right, Your Majesty, when the Lieguo was there before, the countermeasure was to let the rest of the small neutral countries as shields and guard the sideline, and there was no idea of attacking the barbarian tribe, but there was a battle before, and the strength of the barbarian tribe was very strong, and we couldn't advance it at all." ”

Lu Zhonglian stroked his beard and said: "The barbarians are not strong, and they are not called barbarians, Your Majesty, the minister does not recommend fighting with the barbarians, you can negotiate with them." ”

"Diplomacy? It's not that I said, the barbarians are extremely cunning and capricious, and the Lieguo and the barbarians have also conducted peace talks and diplomacy before, but in the blink of an eye, the barbarians reneged on the peace treaty and continued to send troops to attack us. ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded: "Yes, the barbarians are not honest, but we can still conduct diplomacy with them, sometimes diplomacy does not need to be carried out on the basis of peace between the two sides, threats, it is also a kind of diplomacy, the minister suggested, this matter can be done by General Tian, let him bring Lang Zhongling, it should be no problem." ”

Meng Ben?

Ren Tian looked at Meng Ben, and Meng Ben was still holding the chicken leg in his hand at the moment, and in front of his long table, there were piles of food bones.

Ren Tian: "......"
