Tianqi listened to what General Yu said, and looked at the south from afar: "This Nanban is really a strange place." ”

Yu Shenjiang held a grass in the corner of his mouth and sat on the ground: "That's nature, there are many strange things in the Southern Barbarians." In fact, this group of wolf barbarian cavalry is just a temptation of the barbarians. ”

"Oh?"

"Every year, the wolf barbarians will send a lone army of more than 1,000 people to the four southern counties of our country to test, in order to test whether our Feihe army is assembled. If the Flying Crane Army has already assembled, they will kill this cavalry as quickly as this time, so as to convey the news of the Flying Crane Army's assembly to the barbarians. ”

"Well, aren't we falling into someone's trap?" Apocalypse sat down on the grass as well.

"Hehe, there's no point in concealing it, for thousands of years, my Feihe Army has already reached a tacit agreement with the barbarian tribes, and we will not attack the barbarian tribes on a large scale. The barbarian tribes will only make a symbolic resistance, and then they will give us a direct road to the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Barbarians. ”

"And things like that. ”

"In fact, the reason why the Nanban tribes attack our country's borders every year, burning, killing and looting also has a lot to do with the Nanban Three Kingdoms.

The Three Kingdoms of Nanban occupied the richest areas of the Nanban, controlled most of the resources on the Nanban grassland, drove the Nanban tribes to the relatively barren plateau, and demanded tribute from the Nanban tribes every year.

The Nanban tribe will not survive anymore, so they will naturally take risks and attack our borders. ”

"In this way, the root cause of the Nanban tribes plundering my frontier is still the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Barbarians. ”

"It can't be said that the barbarians are a group of wolf ambitions, even if there is no threat from the south, will they be satisfied with a corner of the south?"

"Hehe, General Yu can see it through. ”

"Hey, what's not transparent. Isn't the human race always thinking about incorporating Nanban into its territory? ”

Apocalypse smiled, but didn't answer.

In my previous life, I knew that politics was a very sensitive topic, and I tried not to talk nonsense if I couldn't criticize it.

Tianqi picked up the kettle and poured a sip of water, thought for a while and said, "For the Southern Barbarians, the Flying Crane Army or the Imperial Court have not thought of a way other than war?"

"A way other than war?" General Yu looked at the apocalypse in confusion and said, "For Nanban, what else can you do besides war?"

"Although I have never been to Nanban, as long as I am still in this world, the avenues are always connected. ”

"I've heard that there has been secret trade between the human race and the barbarians, and it is basically controlled by the wealthy families, but is there such a thing?"

General Yu nodded and said, "Although the two human and barbarian clans are at war, it is difficult to prohibit people's trading. After all, you have what you need, and I have what I sell. ”

"The major families and even the big factions are secretly involved in this matter. ”

"Well, in that case, we can get the merchants to let out the rumors that from this year onwards, they will no longer buy sheep from the barbarians, but only goats, and the price of goats is twice that of sheep, so as to induce the barbarians to increase their efforts to raise goats. ”

"Why is that?"

"Goats have peculiar teeth, and when they eat grass, they will eat the grass roots together, and the more goats they raise, the greater the damage to the grassland." ”

"How much can this alone do? General Yu said.

"This is just the first step. The second step is to purchase a large number of praying mantises, dragonflies, ladybugs and other insects that prey on pests in the grassland, and within three years, the grassland will be flooded with pests. ”

Yu Shen will be thoughtful, and realize that the apocalypse has a series of serial schemes.

"And what's next?"

"The third step, if the barbarians sell the goats in large quantities, they will lack meat, so we will only accept rabbit skins, not rabbit meat, and let the barbarians eat rabbit meat. ”

Yu Shen said: "I understand this! The rabbit has too little fat, and we can't get fat for a long time."

Those barbarians cultivate every day, they don't have beef and mutton, they only eat rabbit meat, and their health is bound to get worse and worse.

And the rabbit is the best at burrowing, destroying the ground, and is particularly able to live, it is a litter for life, they eat more grass, and other animals eat less. ”

"The third step includes not only rabbits, but also rats, and all animals that are good at killing rats and rabbits, such as snakes, foxes, wolves, and eagles, must find a way to control them, or simply buy a part of their bodies on the grounds of medicine, and encourage the barbarians to hunt them. ”

General Yu nodded, vaguely understanding that this would be harmful to the barbarians, but unlike the Apocalypse, he knew the food chain and ecological balance.

"I ask you, if I spread a way to make the grass grow more lush, would they do it?" asked Apocalypse.

"This is natural. ”

Apocalypse smiled: "In the beginning, there are too many sheep, and there must be not enough grass, and there is a trick to make the grass vigorous, and that is to open ditches from lakes, wetlands, and swamps in all directions. Irrigating the grass can make the grass grow better in a short period of time. ”

"And what about the long time?"

"As soon as more water leaves the lake, eventually the whole land hardens, the vegetation degrades, and the land becomes desertified. Eventually, the entire grassland will turn into a desert next door, and the barbarians will no longer be able to survive. ”

Apocalypse sighed in his heart, none of this was made up out of thin air, because it had actually happened.

In particular, the last strategy for over-exploiting the lake and wetlands is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and once more water leaves the lake, both soil erosion and evaporation will accelerate. All of them are extremely deadly, and eventually the whole land will harden, the vegetation will be degraded, and the land will be desertified.

General Yu lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and spit out the grass in his mouth: "Although there are still many details, this is indeed a feasible strategy. ”

"However, after all, this is a strategy that harms others and oneself. ”

"Harm others and harm yourself?

"Why are we able to weaken or even exterminate the barbarians just by buying a few beasts?"

"This ......"

"It's because it upsets the balance of the avenue. ”

"In the same way, if we destroy the balance between the human race and the barbarians, but we cannot find a new balance, sooner or later the human race will eventually eat the bitter fruits of its own sowing.

To put it mildly, with such a large area as Nanban, changes in the overall environment will definitely affect the geographical environment of my Great Xia Kingdom. ”

"Is there a way to go?"

"If you divide the barbarians from the inside and take some of them for your own use, it is a good direction. ”

"How can I make the barbarians work for me?"

"If you want to take it, you must first take it. They have horses, cattle and sheep, furs, animal tendons and all kinds of precious medicinal materials, we have grain, oil and salt, cloth, silk, tea, porcelain, increase or even directly open the channels of trade and communication between each other, so that the barbarians can slowly adapt to the life of our human race, accept the education of our human race, and let them slowly become rich. ”

"This?"

"Of course, this is not enough, we not only have to sell grain, oil and salt, cloth, silk, tea, porcelain, but also sell our culture, so that they can learn the living customs of our Central Plains people, get used to our humanistic feelings, and identify with our ideological values. ”

"When some barbarian tribes gradually get used to the life of our Terran and accept the culture of the Terran, they will be used by me. Of course, relatively speaking, the road of winning over and supporting barbarian tribes is more difficult, time-consuming, and variable. ”

General Yu looked at the apocalypse with bright eyes: "General Nian, you are really a unique talent, Yu admires." After returning to the camp, Yu must report to the general and let the general... Please drink!"

"General Yu has spoken, I'm just talking casually, whether it can be done or not is a matter of two words. ”
