The Dangerous Road of the Southern Barbarians Chapter 141 Two strategies against the barbarians
At this time, Tianqi and General Cui were sitting opposite each other on both sides of the low table, and He joined the army on one side.
Although Xiao Xuan also sat aside, she made tea for herself, and casually flipped through the miscellaneous notes in her hand while eating exquisite snacks. Since the last Apocalypse whipping, Xiao Xuan has never dealt with Senior Brother Cui again.
Even if they sat opposite each other, they couldn't do it, and General Cui was embarrassed.
Apocalypse persuaded her several times, but to no avail, so I had to follow her.
"General Nian, you have made a great contribution today! If you hadn't shown your might and scared off 100,000 barbarian troops, you would have delayed our army's trip! Come, senior brother toast you!"
In private, Cui Yonghuan only regards himself as a senior brother, and he lacks his high-minded posture.
"No, I can't afford it. It's okay to drink, the top hat is free, and there is something to say. ”
"Hahaha, okay, you and my brother, don't say this, do it!"
Cui Yonghuan knew that the apocalypse was straightforward, and he didn't go around the bend with him, and after drinking a glass of wine, he went straight to the point.
"Brother Apocalypse, there is indeed something I want to ask you for, and I hope to give you advice. ”
"Oh, brother, please. ”
"You once mentioned to General Yu Qi the two strategies of dealing with barbarians, and General Yu Qi was quite convinced, and told me many times.
I heard that it was quite novel, and I also discussed it with many people who joined the army, and they all thought that it was indeed feasible, so I wanted to ask the Apocalypse brothers for advice today. ”
"Two ways to deal with it?"
"Yes, you said there are two strategies. This strategy is to change the dietary structure of the barbarians and destroy their living environment as a means, and finally achieve the goal of weakening or even eliminating the barbarians. ”
"This strategy sounds feasible, but we lack more evidence, after all, we don't know much about the Heavenly Dao, and we don't have much of it. ”
"Even if this plan is real, is it really going to turn such a vast Peloree Plateau into a dead land?"
"So we thought, listen to your advice again. ”
"What's the best policy?" Apocalypse picked up his glass and drank it down, thinking for a moment.
Only then did he say slowly: "Mighty with force, with profit, into literature, and into the clan." ”
"Mighty with force, with profit, with the text, into the ......"
General Cui lightly tapped the folding fan in his hand on the table, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, and secretly chewed on these sixteen words.
He Senjun squinted slightly, gently stroked the goatee under his chin, and seemed to be wandering outside the world.
Xiao Xuan's big eyes, dark and bright eyes, turned thoughtfully, and looked at her Apocalypse brother thoughtfully.
After Tianqi finished speaking, he filled his own wine glass, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance through the car window, and slowly tasted the 'Baiyun Immortal Brew' in his hand.
It is said that this 'Baiyun Xian Liquor' is made from five kinds of fresh fruits on Baiyun Mountain, with mellow aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow body and long aftertaste.
After a long time, Cui Yongchuan and Cui Daxia came back to their senses and inadvertently glanced at He Shenjun.
Only then did he cautiously ask: "Mighty, my Flying Crane Army should be able to do it." At the same time, is it possible to strengthen mutual markets and trade transactions?"
Apocalypse nodded, and shook his head again: "The dispute between the two clans, only the Flying Crane Alliance is not enough. ”
He looked up at the south and said, "This grassland is too big, and the territory is no less than that of the four southern counties of Great Xia, and its land is either grassland or forest, and the land is vast and sparse, and there are neither cities nor passes. ”
"These barbarians are also very slippery, they can fight if they can, and avoid if they can't. How much of a role the 100,000 Flying Crane Army can play in this vast wilderness, I guess the general knows better than me. ”
Cui Yongchuan nodded and said: "Yes, the Feihe Army can only fight the Southern Barbarian Tribes, if they avoid the war, we really have no better way on this prairie."
Although the imperial court had a million-strong army in southern Xinjiang, it was unable to wage an all-out war against the southern barbarians. Not to mention its combat strength, even if a million troops are invested in the Pelori Plateau, it is just a drop in the ocean, and it will not help much. If the war drags on for ten or twenty years, it will inevitably bring down the imperial court. ”
"Therefore, the Flying Crane Army can only be a high-hanging blade, bursting out with unrivaled attack power when needed, so that no barbarian force dares to take the lead, and then it will achieve the purpose of power. Apocalypse continued.
"Force cannot completely solve the scourge of the Southern Barbarians, so we must follow up with the same to benefit, turn it into a text, and integrate it into a clan. ”
"General, for thousands of years, why have the barbarians repeatedly provoked wars and attacked my Great Xia Frontier?"
Cui Daxia thought for a while, folded the fan and lightly slapped it on the low table, and said: "Barbarians are wild and lewd, they reproduce rapidly, and their population is growing rapidly. And the uncertainty of the white and black disasters on the grassland is also destined to make it difficult for them to live a stable life only on the grassland. What's more, there are also the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Barbarians who are fueling the flames, and in order to survive, their only choice is to provoke a war and attack our Great Xia Frontier. ”
"Yes, in the end, it's about survival. If we can give them clothes and food, will they still want to rob others?"
"But how can this be done?"
Tianqi blinked, and said with a sly smile: "Senior brother, you are the general of Feihe, you must be familiar with all the southern barbarian tribes on the plateau, right? I don't know who of these tribes is the richest and most powerful, and who is the poorest and weakest?"
General Cui rolled his eyes and said suspiciously: "Of course, the easternmost Wugu tribe led by Yang Man is the richest and most powerful.
The second is the Batren tribe in the middle of the grassland, which is dominated by lion barbarians, tiger barbarians, and wolf barbarians.
The weakest is the Ulliang Habu, which is next to the Rigian Forest to the west, and is dominated by pig barbarians and dog barbarians."
"Well, what do you say, what is the main difference between these three tribes, and what do they do for a living?" said Apocalypse, like a gentleman who was kind and patient.
General Cui smiled awkwardly, took a sip of his wine glass, but his eyes drifted to He Joinjun on the side.
He joined the army and didn't look at General Cui, and said: "On this Pelori Plateau, there are many barbarian tribes, the small ones may be no more than a thousand people, a hundred and ten tents, and the big ones are only twenty or thirty thousand people.
The Ugu, Batlon, and Uliangha tribes were the three largest tribal confederations on the plateau, each with hundreds or thousands of small tribes, large and small.
Of course, the Tribal Alliance is an extremely loose organization, and many small tribes join the Ugu tribe today, and then run to the territory of the Batren tribe tomorrow, and become an independent small tribe the day after tomorrow.
In addition to these three tribal alliances, there are also the Tuha tribe, the Huaguna tribe, the Ha Thorn Manglai tribe, and so on. ”
He Senjun thought for a moment and continued.
"Wugu is located in the easternmost part of the Pelori Plateau, where the terrain is relatively low, the water system is abundant, and the barbarians on it are half agricultural and half herding, and there are many contacts with the human race, and some even open some medicinal herb shops, fur workshops, etc. in the fixed residence of the tribe, and then sell them to the human traders, which are the richest barbarian tribes.
In the middle of the plateau, the Batren region occupies a large expanse of grassland, mainly relying on nomadic herding and fishing, and life is not bad.
In the westernmost part of the Uliang Habu, the area where it lives is next to the Ruijian Forest, and the barbarians in the tribe mainly live by picking wild fruits and hunting, and they can't do anything with food and clothing. ”
He joined the army and replied, and the apocalypse was no longer a joke.
