"Isn't it the nephew of the adult, who dared to march into the grassland with only five hundred village warriors, and then fought for thousands of miles, and wiped out the Wuhuan people's nest in one fell swoop, why did he come, didn't he still stay in Zhenyuan City?"

"It seems that he came back suddenly, and I heard that the reason why Lord Governor was able to survive the assassin's sneak attack last night is also related to him. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and this kind of inquisitive tone has never been seen in adults before. ”

"No, no, I think even if I didn't have this saving grace, the state pastor would definitely ask for the opinion of the general of Nakaro. After all, this is the only external merit that the imperial court can show after the western conquest of the Qiang people, how can it not pay more attention to it....."

"Yes, the adult has always been generous and loving, and he doesn't like to have military affairs and disputes during his tenure, and he will reprimand him every time Gongsun Chan provokes him. But the last time I faced the request of General Zhonglang to build a city, not only did he decisively send people and materials, but now he also directly asked to attack Gongsun Zhan, obviously knowing the talent of General Zhonglang and being able to defeat a strong enemy....."

……

As the saying goes, after becoming famous in one fell swoop, as Wei Qing and Huo Quai, he once again broke up most of the Han commanders who had no opponents in most of the grasslands, even if Nanshan was not famous before this, except for a limited number of staff members who took office with Liu Yu, most of the generals' staff could not call his name, and even many people were not optimistic that he would come back alive.

But after occupying the Wuliao Mountains and firmly driving a nail into the heart of the steppe, he had already conquered the numerous state officials present with indisputable facts.

You must know that as one of the three frontiers in the Central Plains facing the threat of the grassland (Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou), no one knows better than them the difficulties of nomads, and even if they have the advantage of troops, it is difficult to exterminate these bandits who do not leave a hand. What's more, this is still on the opponent's territory, and they can always defeat the strong with the weak, penetrate most of the grassland from scratch, and wipe out dozens of tribes, which is even more exaggerated than the super generals they know.

Of course, they don't know that this is the result of Nanshan's crazy cheating.

Use tactics and weapons more than a thousand years later to bully the ancients.

It's hard to lose.

However, this does not affect their feelings now, and the appearance of the other party here at this time undoubtedly represents an amazing thing - the victory and defeat of the grassland war have been decided.

I am afraid that there is no longer any force on the grassland that can pose a threat to the Central Plains.

It can be said that because of this change, the whole of your chess pieces has been revitalized.

It becomes that you can fight if you want to fight and defend if you want to, and you don't have to be bound by many conditions.

At this point, the hall that had been quiet was buzzing again.

However, Nanshan ignored those surprised eyes, he just looked at Liu Yu and said the answer that he had already conceived.

"Actually, adults don't have to worry too much, because time is on our side. With the direction of the grassland no longer being a threat to us, no matter whether Gongsun Chan can raise troops or not, the result will be the same. ”

"Without the Hu people to interfere and contain on the side, when our troops rush back from the grassland, Gongsun Zhan's side will completely lose the opportunity to enter the army, and then want to occupy the county while we are unable to attack, and can only defend it has become impossible, and he does not even dare to occupy more territory, he can only use this time to convert the population of the ruling area into troops as much as possible, in order to resist one or two, otherwise, the result of dividing the troops can only be broken by each one."

"And our advantage is not only that, after removing the defensive forces that need to be dealt with, the states and counties close to the steppe will be liberated with a large number of reinforcements. In this way, the longer this guy drags on, the more unfavorable the situation he faces. The nearest place where a large number of troops are stationed is the county of Bingzhoudai, and it only takes three days to arrive here on horseback, not to mention that two or three thousand more troops can be drawn from the counties near the border. Even if Gongsun Chan had been prepared and implemented various strategies against adults, in the end it was just to prove that he was not self-sufficient and tried to use his mantis arm as a car. ”

He had thought about this before he even returned.

After all, compared to the huge prestige accumulated by Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Liu Yu's side is not bad at all, and even to some extent, it can be said to be higher.

Because hatred is not everything, not everyone can tolerate the effects of long-term war. After raising the banner of fighting against the Hu people, Youzhou suffered more invasion retaliation every year because of Gongsun Zhan's reckless actions. Because he cannot completely solve the border troubles, on the contrary, the accumulated hatred can only make the people in the border areas more miserable.

And Liu Yu, before he was promoted to the state pastor, had been doing the history of Youzhou for many years.

During his tenure, he used the deterrent power brought by his clan status to make Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Huiqian and other foreign tribes dare not offend the border at will, and at the same time established mutual markets, exchanging the prosperous products of the Central Plains for cattle, sheep, horses and furs from the grassland. It not only made the economy of the entire Youzhou have been developed, but also reduced the Hu people's desire to invade and plunder, which can be said to be deeply popular, and the border people at that time were singing and praising Liu Yu's merits everywhere.

As long as you are not a fool, or were born too late, you know who to support in the face of this stark contrast.

Therefore, even if Gongsun Chan can be deceived for a while, he can't be deceived for a lifetime, and when the above-mentioned reinforcements come, soon the soldiers under Gongsun Chan will understand that following this guy is only a dead end.

Of course, Nanshan chose to help Liu Yu, not because he was a pacifist in his bones and appreciated this kind of gentle approach, but because he needed it in reality.

Today, unlike in the past, under his repeated attacks, there is no longer one in ten threatening forces on the grassland. The Wuhuan people were wiped out as a whole, and Xianbei no longer had any hope of unifying the grassland, so he could only flee to the depths of Mobei with the remnants of the tribal population.

If you fight, it is too troublesome, and the tribe of hundreds or thousands of people will not even earn back the amount of cattle, sheep and horses obtained, and even the consumption of sending troops will not be earned.

If you don't fight, what if one of the tribes lives with a generation of Tianjiao's ancestors?

It is impossible to let it breed and pose a threat to the Central Plains one day in the future.

It is just right that you can use the business methods represented by Liu Yu to slowly weaken and transform these guys.

You must know that in addition to the spell that can dramatically deplete the earth's strength and turn the grassland into a desert, he also prepared wool weaving, which was a super killer of the "sheep eating people" movement in later generations.

Just like the English landlords in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as long as the remaining tribes on the steppe saw the super-profits brought by the wool textile industry, they did not need to send people to threaten and urge them, and these hardships who had been grazing everywhere in the wind and sun but did not gain much would voluntarily give up their nomadic life in the past. The surplus population was driven away, the pastures were fenced off, and the "sheep eating man" enclosure movement began, which killed people without seeing blood.

When the time comes, this emerging steppe class force will become the sharpest and most greedy blade in his hands, exterminating all herders who dare to reject this way of life, and even continue to plague the harsh conditions of the Mobei region. After all, as far as he knew, Mongolia in later generations was a major exporter of wool, and there was no pasture to support his family, so look at where these guys could go.

It's just that these alone don't show his effect.

For getting Gongsun Zhan, Nanshan actually has a better idea.
