Night.

The matter was almost settled, and Chen Zhou came to Cao Cao's main account.

The interior has been furnished, other strategists, generals, etc., have also arrived, the area of the main tent is still quite large, about the same as a hall, so as to show Cao Cao's identity and status, everyone sat down in front of Cao Cao, and began tonight's deliberations.

Chen Zhou's location is given special care.

As Cao Cao's son-in-law, he is also the chief strategist in Cao's camp, and the most important military advisor in the army, of course, he sits next to Cao Cao.

In other people, being so valued and arranged by Cao Cao may have attracted the envy and jealousy of others, but Chen Zhou didn't, if they wanted to be jealous, they had to have Chen Zhou's ability, otherwise it would be easy to be slapped in the face.

Chen Zhou sat down peacefully, regardless of what they thought in their hearts.

After the wine and food were served, Cao Cao drank two glasses with them, and then put forward the focus of tonight's discussion.

"Do you think we'll be able to keep fighting?"

Cao Cao put down his wine glass, swept his gaze over them, and continued: "After today's battle, the Western Regions Alliance Army basically has no ability to fight with us anymore, and ......no longer has the ability to resist.

He hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If we break into it and really rebuild the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, the time and cost invested in it are huge, and it is worth it?" ”

This question is the only thing Cao Cao is currently considering.

Rebuilding the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, when I first had this idea, it was indeed very good, and I thought it was feasible, but now I quietly thought about what I wanted to do, and I felt that it was more troublesome, and it might be difficult to implement it, and it was not easy to separate part of my energy and manage those people in the Western Regions.

"The subordinates think it's worth it!"

Zhong Xuan first said: "We went out to fight this time, suppressed the entire Western Regions, and also suppressed the people of the Western Regions did not dare to resist, it is the best opportunity, we should go all out and subdue the Western Regions." ”

Cao Cao asked: "However, how to govern and build the capital protection mansion, does Yuan Chang have any ideas?" ”

Zhong Xuan has been in Chang'an for a period of time, during which he has also learned about the northwest and the Western Regions, and when he heard Cao Cao ask about himself, he said: "In fact, there is no need to govern it, as long as a special person is arranged in the Western Regions, and then there are troops to suppress the Western Regions!" ”

"What Yuan Chang thinks, one is to deter the army, and the other is to use the people of the Western Regions to govern the Western Regions?"

Xun You seemed to be able to guess what Zhong Xuan thought, and continued: "To govern Hu with Hu, to use the people of the Western Regions to govern the Western Regions, and with our army stationed in Yumen Pass, and the premise that this battle will scare the Western Regions, the people of the Western Regions will definitely cooperate with us in a short time." ”

Zhong Xuan nodded slightly and said: "That's right, as long as they cooperate in a short time, they can open up the situation as soon as possible and govern it in depth, after a long time, even if they want to break away, they don't have the ability, so they can only let us handle it!" ”

Listening to Zhong Xuan's words, everyone nodded slightly.

They all think it's doable.

In fact, in ancient times, the way to govern foreign tribes, in addition to the migration and assimilation of foreign populations, was to send liuguan and then use Hu to govern Hu to cooperate with governance, which is also called fetters.

"Is there anything you'd like to add?"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou knew that he would inevitably have to express his opinion on such an occasion, so he thought about it and said: "I think that Zhong Yuanchang's plan is already very perfect, but there are also suggestions, you can add a little more, economic control." ”

"Economy?"

When they heard this word, they began to ponder, in fact, they were not unfamiliar with this word.

Some modern words, brought to the Three Kingdoms by Chen Zhou, gradually spread out, and were accepted by them, and they understood what they meant.

Chen Zhou continued: "I think economic means are still very necessary, although the Western Regions are large, but barren, what do you want, there is nothing, our food, salt, cloth, etc., are necessities in the Western Regions, as long as they are used well, they should be able to have unexpected effects." ”

As soon as these words came out, their eyes lit up.

"Wataryuki can always give us some refreshing ideas."

Zhong Xuan laughed and said: "Economic means, it sounds very good. ”

Cao Cao asked: "The suggestion of Du Zhi is indeed very good, so I really fight out, deter and subdue?" ”

Xun You also agreed: "I think it should be so. ”

It seems that it is inevitable to play out, otherwise it is a waste to put such a big advantage without it, and it is not so easy to fight again in the future.

If the Western Regions are stabilized, then Liangzhou can basically be stabilized, and beware of Xianbei, the northwest and north will no longer have to worry about the future, and they can deal with the south smoothly.

Sounds like it works.

"Lord!"

Ma Teng stood up, bowed down and said, "I am willing to suppress the Western Regions for the lord." ”

The most suitable candidate is also Ma Teng.

He has been in Liangzhou for so many years, and he knows the Western Regions very well, and he can also lead troops to fight.

"Since Shoucheng recommended himself, then I ordered you to be the captain of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, and at the same time, Yuan Chang put down his affairs in Chang'an, go to the Western Regions first, for Changshi, and then I will arrange someone else to take over Chang'an, okay?"

Cao Cao decided to continue fighting.

Since Zhong Xuan respected him so much, Ma Teng also expressed his willingness to lead troops to deter the Western Regions.

Then there are Chen Zhou's economic means, and other plans to control the Western Regions.

The conditions for playing out are still relatively sufficient, and it can be done completely.

"Subordinates receive orders."

Ma Teng must be fine.

Zhong Xuan admired this plan, and of course there was no problem, and he took this task on.

Cao Cao said: "Okay! Starting tomorrow, we will start preparing for this plan to get into. ”

Guo Jia suddenly smiled and said: "Perhaps, there is no need to fight anymore, those people in the Western Regions have already been disabled by us, and they are also afraid, as long as they send someone to contact them, they should be eager to surrender." ”

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable."

Cao Cao thought back to today's battle situation, and the people of the Western Regions were afraid that if they didn't see the banner of the Ming army, they would be weak, and they had lost a lot of troops outside the Yumen Pass, and they didn't dare to fight again.

What's more, those coalition forces are all composed of various small countries.

Once a small country is timid, then the rest of the small countries are no better, and the fear of death is certain.

"Tomorrow, arrange for someone to surrender first."

Cao Cao said loudly again: "Salute first and then soldiers, if someone is willing to surrender, we can accept it, if not, continue to fight out, if you don't accept it, you can subdue it!" ”

With a large number of generals and strong strength, you can do whatever you want.

You can fight as much as you want.

After the future strategy of the Western Regions was decided, Cao Cao announced the dismissal of the meeting and let everyone go back to rest.

Starting tomorrow, we will enter the copy of the Western Regions.

Conquering the Western Regions in advance, Chen Zhou was thinking, Cao Cao's Great Wei, can he always control the Western Regions in the future?

If so, it's a great initiative!
