In fact, this method is very good, and it does not require the use of force.

It was completely a soft knife to cut the flesh, and subtly assimilated those Huns.

It's like Qin assimilating the people of the Six Kingdoms.

In history, there are not a few nomads who have entered the Central Plains, such as the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are the regimes established by the nomads, this kind of dynasty is indeed very awesome at the beginning, but then it was confused by the Central Plains, and it was directly abolished under arrogance and lasciviousness.

Of course, there is a downside to this approach, which is that it is time-consuming.

It is estimated that there is no one who will not be able to assimilate the Xiongnu for more than ten years.

When the First Emperor and his ministers heard this, they were silent, and they began to think about the feasibility of this method.

"As for this third method......

Su Mo smiled, looked at the First Emperor, and said with a serious expression: "The minister is willing to lead the army to pacify the Huns, if the Huns are not destroyed, the minister is willing to apologize with death!" ”

"Zhao Gao, this is what you call the best policy?"

The First Emperor smiled and asked, "Then you tell me, how are you going to pacify the Xiongnu?" ”

Facing the first emperor's inquiry, Su Mo turned his eyes to look at Meng Tian: "Dare to ask General Meng Tian, how did we fight against the Xiongnu in the past?" ”

"In the past, the Huns took the initiative to invade our borders, if we attacked, the Huns would immediately flee to the depths of the grassland when they saw that the situation was not good, they were all people who lived on horseback since childhood, and their riding skills were no worse than our iron horses.

And the grassland is vast, boundless, our army rushed thousands of miles, those Huns will flee to the depths of the grassland when they see that the situation is not good, and after our army retreats, they will make a comeback, and the grassland is far away from the Central Plains, even if our army occupies it to the death, but the transportation of grain and grass is also a big problem, there is no supply, so in the end it will be in vain. ”

"Then who is more powerful than my Great Qin's iron cavalry and the Huns?" Su Mo asked again.

"I'm a great Qin iron horse, invincible in the world!"

Meng Tian replied categorically at this moment.

Hearing this, Su Mo gradually retracted his smile and said to the First Emperor: "My Great Qin Iron Cavalry is not weak in the face of the Huns, if the chances of winning are very great, the only thing they are stronger than us is that they are familiar with the terrain and come and go without a trace, so if the minister is asked to attack the Huns, then the minister will not aim to kill the Huns, but go deep into the grassland and attack their cattle and sheep." ”

"Don't aim to kill people, but focus on cattle and sheep?"

The First Emperor, Meng Tian and the others also began to bow their heads and ponder, slowly chewing on the meaning of this sentence.

Seeing that everyone had doubts, Su Mo explained: "Now that winter is coming soon, the Huns will invade our Daqin land in order to store food for the winter, but if we go the opposite way and take the initiative to enter the grassland to plunder their cattle and sheep, then the Huns will have no food for the winter, and in the face of a large number of grassland people, there will only be two choices, one is to temporarily avoid the edge and go deeper into the grassland, and it is located in the desert and the environment is harsh, so we don't need to do it in Daqin, I am afraid that after a winter, most of the Huns will starve to death. ”

"But if the Huns want to stop us from plundering cattle and sheep, then they must lead a large army to confront us head-on, and then our Great Qin Iron Cavalry can wipe them out."

This is actually a blind spot in everyone's thinking, in the past, it was the Huns who came to plunder the materials of Daqin.

And Daqin always felt that the grassland was short of materials and nothing, and as the Heavenly Empire, he couldn't do this kind of banditry, but who said that only the grassland people invaded the Qin State, and we couldn't invade the grassland.

In martial arts like Dugu Jiujian, we all know that the moves are all attack, and the enemy has to defend, but of course I don't have to defend it.

The same applies at the national level.

While others have not yet invaded us, we invade the other party first, so that we can turn the passive into the active.

Meng Tian's eyes lit up at this time, and he praised in his mouth: "Prime Minister Zhong's method is wonderful, we sent a large army to take the initiative to invade the grassland, plundering the grassland of animal husbandry, those Huns do not produce, if there are no cattle and sheep, there will be no food for winter, so they can be forced to fight to the death with us." ”

"Not only that, but after we occupy the grassland, we can also use these cattle and sheep to threaten the Huns and force them to submit to us, if they are obedient, we will return Niu Ang to him, and then divide the grassland into counties, divide them into large and small territories, and then divide these territories to the various tribes on the grassland, and divide the heads of each tribe as county commanders, and then our Daqin will send officials to be county guards." Su Mo thought for a moment and came up with another idea.

"Returning the grassland territory to the Huns and making them officials, wouldn't this be no different from before?" The First Emperor frowned, then what was the use of them attacking the grassland.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Xiongnu is composed of large and small tribes on the grassland, and now the Xiongnu King Mao Dun is a person who kills his father and stands on his own, it can be said that he is not very popular on the grassland, if the leader of each tribe is named a county order, and it is stipulated that each tribe can only be nomadic in its own area, and is not allowed to go to other regions, so that it is almost impossible for the grassland people to gather together quickly to form a force." Su Mo's method is specially used to divide the Xiongnu, so that each tribe can do its own thing, and when the time comes, everyone will be in charge, who wants to be subservient?

"And we can also help various tribes build cities, teach them how to farm, these nomads have a characteristic is that they have no fixed place, where there is fertile water and grass to settle down, but if they have a home, have a field, then they will not leave easily, which is equivalent to nailing these Huns in the city."

Su Mo said a lot of policies towards the Xiongnu in one breath, which shocked the hundreds of officials in the Qilin Palace.

But in fact, these policies were all borrowed from the policies of later generations towards the steppe nomads.

Since the beginning of the dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has been plagued by the invasion of northern nomads, the Donghu and Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Wuhuan and Xianbei in the Three Kingdoms era, the Xianbei and Rouran in the Wuhu Chaohua era, the Turks and Hui in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Khitan and Jurchen in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the later Mongolians!

Every turmoil in the Central Plains is indispensable to the nomads, for which the Great Wall was built from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, and continued until the Ming Dynasty continued to improve the Great Wall, but it was never possible to solve the threat of the north, until the Qing Dynasty, the threat of the northern nomads was completely solved.

Maybe that's the only good thing the Tartars have done.

The predecessor of the Qing Dynasty was the Jurchen people, who were also a nomadic people, and Daddy said that he would use magic to deal with magic.

As nomads, the Qing Dynasty was naturally familiar with the weaknesses of the nomads.

So how did the Qing Dynasty deal with those nomads?

In fact, it is similar to what Su Mo just said.

The first is to encourage the Jurchens to marry with the Mongols, for which the Qing Dynasty also developed a Manchurian Eight Banners system, and in the process of conquering Mongolia, it continued to recruit outstanding soldiers from various Mongolian tribes to be selected into the Eight Banners Army.

These have become the Eight Banners of Mongolia in the back!

Constantly sucking blood from the Mongolian tribes like cutting leeks, so that Mongolia will become weaker and weaker, and over time there will no longer be any threat, this is a typical assimilation policy!

The second is to implement a strategy of differentiation, come up with a flag system, divide the grasslands, and then settle the tribes in different areas, and stipulate that each tribe can only be nomadic in its own area, and is not allowed to go to other areas.

The third is the aspect of faith, let those nomads believe in trumpet religion, and then all go to become monks, and come up with a sterilization policy.

Through these three axes, the Qing Dynasty completely solved the intrusion of the nomads in the north.

And at this time.

Su Mo used all these strategies on the Huns.

After saying these strategies, the First Emperor was full of excitement, looked at Su Mo and said: "The public toilet marquis really has the talent of the world, these strategies are just to the point of the Huns, if these strategies are implemented, I will be great Qin for thousands of years, and the country will no longer be a verbal word." ”

Su Mo smiled, looking modest.

It's not that I'm awesome, but I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, and I have more than 2,000 years of experience than everyone here.

At this time, the First Emperor also stood up from his chair and exclaimed impassionedly:

"Zhao Gao received the order, I decided to let you personally go to the grassland to implement these strategies, and the 300,000 troops around the Great Wall are all under your dispatch, and you must solve the scourge of the Xiongnu for me and for Great Qin."

"Minister Zhao Gao, the leader!"
