Chapter Ninety-Eight, Second Map

A politician once said: "The way to long-term peace and stability is to live a comfortable life for yourself, and you must let others have a way to live, and you can't do everything, otherwise, you will cut off your life and kill yourself!" ”

Xiao Yi used forceful means to grab a large area of land, but he knew very well that these tribal chiefs were not convinced, but they were afraid of the might of the Han army, and they were just patient for the time being......

The tribal rebellion is about to be suppressed, the army is coming, they are quiet, the army is withdrawn, they will make trouble again, the vitality of the steppe wolf is extremely tenacious, so repeatedly, the soldiers, horses, money, food and materials of the court will continue to be consumed, how can the court free up its hands, sweep away the princes, and dominate the world, this law is not advisable!

Xiao Yat will not do stupid things, he has also repeatedly thought that if he wants to be peaceful forever, he must completely solve these nomadic tribes, generally speaking, there are three ways:

One of them: kill them all, and kill them all; This method is the simplest, and there is no future trouble, when the Central Plains people deal with the enemy, they love to deal with it like this, the city gate is closed, just like a wolf rushing into the sheepfold, slaughter as much as you like, and then a fire, everything is fine!

It's a pity, this is the grassland outside the Saiwai, dozens of tribes scattered in all directions, if you use the method of surprise attack, slaughter one or two tribes is no problem, large-scale killing, the herdsmen will inevitably scatter and flee, hiding in the vast wilderness, the Han army is used for twenty years, and they don't want to kill it, if they are not careful, they will be born again in the spring breeze!

Second: moving into the interior and turning it into a Han dynasty; The Han people have a very strong ability to assimilate, no matter what nationality, no matter what race, as long as they move into the interior of the Central Plains, it will not take a hundred years to digest it completely, so that they can completely forget their ancestors for 18 generations and become pure Han people!

If it is a peaceful season, this is the best way, not only to increase the population, but also to input the blood of the Chinese nation, to stimulate the spirit of martial arts, the problem is that now the Central Plains is in chaos, the population is greatly reduced, there is no strength to digest the nomadic tribes, a little careless, it will become a wolf into the house, it will be even worse!

Third: moving to a foreign land, the water flows westward; Since you can't kill it all, and you can't digest it, then drive these steppe wolves to the distance, let them scourge other peoples, fend for themselves, and never look east, this method is not very humane, but it is the right way to prosper the Han family!

Xiao Yi is a responsible man, since he has destroyed the homes of the nomadic tribes, he will find a piece of paradise for them to rebuild their homes, and in this way, the soldiers carried out the second map!

Compared with the first map, the territory of the second is larger, so large that it is unimaginable, the towering Kunlun Mountain is just a thick line on it, and the Xiliang Qianli grassland only occupies a slap on it, as for the place where the tribes live, there is no mark on the map!

Of course, the two maps also have something in common, that is, the mountains, rivers, and cities are all marked with Han names, such as the Yanhuang Inland Sea, the Xuanyuan Peninsula, and the Chiyou Plain...... There are all kinds of them, all named after the ancestors of the Han family, after the sub-map, if those places are not Han people, it is estimated that no one will believe it!

"The sage of the Han family has a saying: If you lose the east corner, you will harvest the mulberry elm, since the Xiliang grassland can't feed your people, why don't you lead the tribal warriors to the west to have a good time, where the land is fertile and the wealth is innumerable, it is a good place to live and reproduce!"

Xiao Yi's words were full of agitation, and his finger slid lightly on the map, all the way to the west, over the green mountains, around the Aral Sea ......, it was boundless fertile land!

"Expedition to the Western Regions, seize the land, food, women, and strengthen our tribe!"

"The wise flock is willing to give up the sand in front of them to nibble on the tender grass on the other side of the mountain......"

"Expedition to the West, a good way to survive.................."

Yi crossed the traces on the map, the tribal chiefs who were originally like ashes, suddenly ignited the fire of hope, as the saying goes, 'the tree dies, the person lives', and it is not a bad thing to live in a different place, anyway, they are also wandering around to live, as for the word 'Western Expedition', it is not strange at all!

They clearly remember that hundreds of fronts, the Han family martial arts were extremely prosperous, the Huns were beaten and dying, divided into the north and south, the southern Xiongnu annexed to the Han Dynasty, moved to the Hetao Plain, the northern Xiongnu were unwilling to surrender, drove livestock, held high the swords, moved the first western expedition, plundered the western countries, grabbed a large number of wealth, women and slaves, and also occupied a broad living space!

The western expedition went so smoothly, on the one hand, the Huns were strong and good at fighting, and the cavalry traveled hundreds of miles a day, and they were born robbery experts; On the other hand, there are many small countries in the West, the people are cowardly, and they are very good at business, and it is not possible to fight at all, but it is a paradise suitable for plundering!

There are successful examples, how can the chiefs not be moved, to be honest, no one wants to be next to the Han Dynasty, the giant of the Han Dynasty, the national strength is strong, the culture is advanced, the sense of revenge is very strong, the most odious thing is that they have a 'killing god' every few hundred years, there is Huo Quai, there is Xiao Yi in the back, all of them are murderous like hemp, and they are ruthless characters who exterminate the clan at every turn, and such a nation is a neighbor, like lying next to the tiger's den, who can sleep peacefully?

However, the western expedition is not an easy task, the road is far away, the future is unpredictable, a plague, a natural disaster, ...... may block their progress, or even stay there forever, becoming a pile of white bones on the journey!

Moreover, the combined forces of the various departments, with a total population of more than 200,000 and 670,000 cavalry, are not very strong, and there is no unified leadership.

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the Han family has always been benevolent to others, if the ministries are willing to go west, the governor of Pontus can provide ordnance, grain, grass, cloth, medicinal materials, ......, in a word, what you lack, the Han army will give anything, and you can also send a team of men and horses to jointly join forces to march west, but if anyone is unable to leave their homeland, the governor of Pontus does not mind helping him!"

If you want the horse to run fast, you must feed it good grass, in order to encourage the various departments to go west, Xiao Yi has really invested in it, and he does not hesitate to invest a lot of materials, as for the organization of the coalition army, it is not an empty word, even the commander has a candidate!

With Ma as the commander, Liang Xinghou elected Cheng Yin and Li Kan as the generals, commanding 20,000 Xiliang troops, equipped with enough ordnance, grain and grass, this is a large army of the Western Expedition!

Ma this person, brave and strong, extraordinary skills, like a rebellious wild horse, running very fast, but not very obedient, always stumbling, if he is put on the place, sooner or later something will happen, this kind of person is a natural warrior, can never live a peaceful life!

In the original history, Ma rebelled against the imperial court several times, provoked constant wars, Xiliang was devastated, and his own family was ruined, and later put into Liu Bei's command, because of personality reasons, he was never reused, in a semi-frozen state, and finally depressed and died young!

Every time I think of this history, Xiao Yat will shout that it is a pity, the sword is sharp, and there is nowhere to use it, but it is a great sadness, since he has crossed over and has enough strength, he will naturally change the fate of the horse!

Commanding the army to the west is the best way for horses, let him lead the tribes to join forces, go to the battlefield to fight bloodily, not only realize his self-worth, but also open up territory for the country, it is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, he himself will be very happy, as a soldier, will never refuse war!

Of course, wild horses are difficult to tame, in order to prevent the horse from changing, he must put a rein on him, this Xiao Yi also thought of this, the way is to take Ma Teng Ma Tie Ma Xiu father and son back to the dynasty, add officials to the knighthood, raise them well, and restrain them with relatives, so they are not afraid that the 'wild horses' will be disobedient!

Such a strategy, interlocking and impermeable, not only solves a lot of troubles, but also has three major benefits:

First, the tribes marched westward, and the land they left behind belonged to the Han Dynasty, and the land of Xiliang expanded for thousands of miles, which is to expand the territory!

Secondly, let these nomadic tribes go to the west, try the depth, if there is a disaster, they will bear it, if there is a benefit, the Han family can also get a piece of the pie, just like slash and burn, the fire in front has burned over, and the people in the back can cultivate the land!

In the end, the Ma family was transferred out of Xiliang, which also eradicated the original local forces, and the imperial court could appoint officials to better govern the place, without worrying about rebellion, the imperial court could concentrate on sweeping away the princes of all parties and unifying Kyushu!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi stroked the sword in his hand, and the chief of the department with a smile on his face, two paths were placed in front of him, whether it was life or death, so he made a choice!

"Brush! …… Brush! Brush! ”

In the big tent, the chiefs of the various departments secretly gestured, using their unique body language to discuss the matter of the western expedition, the gestures were very changeable, and they were also very violent, mixed with some chopping movements, as if they were arguing, and soon regained calm, obviously they reached an agreement!

"The great Han sky is mighty, and the ministries dare not disobey, since the majority of the governors have the intention to fund ordnance, grain and grass, and the tribes are willing to march west to open up the new homeland pasture...... but this matter is not trivial, we still need a little time to prepare!"

The chiefs of the various ministries have reached an agreement, let them go to the west to play for their lives, first, the promised food, grass and ordnance must be provided, and people cannot be fooled, and second, it takes time to prepare, and they also have to persuade the troops to arrange the route of migration!

"Hehe, no problem, the governor of Pontus promises a thousand gold, and the promised things will never change, as for the time, the grass and yellow horses are fat, it is the most suitable to go on the expedition, when the first autumn wind blows, it is the time when the tribes leave, if anyone is unwilling to go, the governor of Pontus has his own means!"

While speaking, Xiao Yi pulled out his sword and pointed obliquely to the west, with a strong killing intent all over his body, if he didn't take the road to the west, he would take the Huangquan Road!
