Guo Jia said with admiration: "Your Majesty is wise! But there is one thing that Your Majesty should pay attention to! ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Feng Xiao, please speak!" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if the army of the Western Regions no longer relies on the logistics supply of the mainland, then they will be completely self-contained!" Cao Cao didn't even have to think about it, he immediately understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words, what Guo Jia meant was that if the generals stationed in the Western Regions controlled both the army and the local civil affairs, then the army of the Western Regions would be a hidden danger!

Cao Cao nodded: "I understand what Feng Xiao is worried about!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said confidently: "Fengxiao doesn't have to worry! From the very beginning, the military and civil affairs of our Great Wei were completely separate and did not interfere with each other. ”

Guo Jiadeng suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that Weichen is also worried!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Fengxiao, this is not a sacrifice to worry about the sky!" ”

Cao Cao showed a look of reminiscence, and said with some emotion: "How many dynasties have perished in the past and present because of the excessive power of military generals, or because of the emphasis on literature and light on military force, the country has fallen into the hands of foreign races!" ”

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, it was entirely because of the dynasties of later generations, especially the Tang and Song dynasties, but for Guo Jia, the fact that the heavy military force and the death of the country can also have something to do with the Qin and Han dynasties, but because of the heavy text, Guo Jia and the alien Guo Jia don't understand.

However, looking at Cao Cao's emotional appearance, Guo Jia didn't ask anything.

Cao Cao gave Guo Jia a brief introduction to the situation of the Changshi Mansion and the Great General's Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate, and finally asked: "Feng Xiao thinks that it can be caused by loopholes?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "For now, it's perfect!" ”

Cao Cao smiled. Subsequently, Cao Cao and Guo Jia discussed civil affairs issues related to Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

"The Han people have always oppressed us. We must not sit idly by! Meng Shu said angrily.

At this time, the place where Meng Huo was located was in a large wooden building in his own cottage. There was a pile of flames lit in the center of the hall, and Meng Huo sat on the main seat to the north, and around the fire sat a dozen barbarian men wearing animal skins and painting their faces in various colors, these people were not Meng Shu's subordinates, but barbarian leaders from all over the southern county, who came to Meng Huo at the invitation of Meng Shu.

There was also a person sitting next to Meng Shu, wearing tight leather armor, perfectly outlining the alluring figure, and there were several peacock feathers inserted on the cloud-like show. She is none other than the contemporary leader of the Zhurong clan, who has the most prestige among the barbarians.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhurong tightened her eyebrows, looking annoyed and worried.

The leaders deliberated in a low voice for a moment, and then one of the elders said, "In the past, the Han people were actually not bad to us, but Liu Zhang wantonly plundered and persecuted us in order to fight against the Great Wei!" At present, the Great Wei has made it clear that as long as we surrender, they will treat us like Han people, and they are willing to go to the rich land of the interior to farm. The imperial court will also make arrangements! Why should we go against Da Wei! ”

"Yaharu, what did you say? Are you willing to be enslaved by the Han Chinese? A younger leader next to him shouted angrily.

Meng was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "That's right! We are not willing to be enslaved by the Han Chinese! I, Meng Shu, swear to fight the Han people to the end! ”

Meng Shu stood up abruptly and glanced at the leaders. Bared his teeth and said coldly: "If anyone wants to collude with the Han people, I, Meng Shu and all the barbarian sons, swear to take their heads!" ”

Several collars shouted loudly, while others hung their heads with helpless expressions.

"No! I disagree! Mrs. Zhurong suddenly raised her voice.

Everyone present couldn't help but be stunned. The few leaders who were originally depressed showed joy on their faces, while the two leaders who were originally on Meng Huo's side showed hesitation.

Although the Zhurong clan represented by Mrs. Zhurong is not the strongest among the Southern Barbarian clans. However, because all the tribes of the Southern Barbarians believe in the god of fire Zhurong, the Zhurong tribe has a high prestige and influence among the Southern Barbarian tribes. On the same day, Meng Shu married Mrs. Zhurong, and a big reason actually lies in this.

"Zhu Rong, what did you say?" Meng Yu asked urgently, and the green tendons on his face jumped and jumped.

Mrs. Zhurong glanced at Meng Shu fiercely without fear, and said to everyone: "The ancestors of our barbarian tribes are Zhurong gods, and Zhurong gods are one of the ancestors of the Han people."

Mrs. Zhu Rong's words are not untrue, in many places in the Central Plains there are indeed still rituals to worship ancestors Zhu Rong, of course, in fact, the barbarians are actually one of the Xia, which can be seen from the commonalities of some civilizations on both sides.

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

Mrs. Zhurong continued: "We and the Han people can be said to be of the same clan and clan, why should we be so hostile to the Han people? If the Han oppress us, we can rise up and resist, but if the Han people treat us equally, why can't we accept their rule? ”

Those leaders who were unwilling to confront the rising and powerful power of Great Wei immediately echoed it, and the most active of them was the vulture bone released by Cao Cao, while most of the other leaders also showed hesitation.

"No way!!" Meng Huo suddenly roared.

The leaders couldn't help but look at Meng Shu, then they were stunned, and then looked at Mrs. Zhurong on the side, and they couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts.

Meng Shu glared at Mrs. Zhurong and pointed at her with trembling fingers: "You, you, why?" ”

His tone and demeanor were like that of a wounded beast.

Mrs. Zhurong sighed, shook her head, and said, "I just don't want my barbarian people to fall into a place of no return!" ”

"No, not for this reason! He must have bewitched you! He must have bewitched you! Meng Huo shouted hysterically.

Mrs. Zhurong suddenly slapped Meng Shu hard, and shouted excitedly: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Meng Shu covered his cheeks and glared at Mrs. Zhu Rong, panting heavily, and there was clearly a raging flame in his eyes.

The leaders looked at the two of them, looking a little confused, and of course some people looked like they were watching a good show.

The scene was silent for a while, and Meng Shu suddenly got up and said angrily: "If you are willing to be a slave, then be a slave!" I, Meng Shu, will attack Yizhou with all my army tomorrow! ”

The words fell, and he walked out angrily, ignoring the shouts of Mrs. Zhurong, who was also angry!

Mrs. Zhurong glanced at the dozen or so leaders in front of her, and asked solemnly, "What do the leaders say?" ”

Half of the leaders immediately said, "We listen to Mrs. Zhurong!" ”

Mrs. Zhurong nodded, and her eyes shifted to the others.

The others hesitated, and more than half of them expressed their willingness to obey Mrs. Zhurong's orders one after another, but three leaders coldly hugged their fists at Mrs. Zhurong and left, they obviously had the same idea as Meng Xu.

Mrs. Zhurong couldn't help but sigh and muttered with some concern: "It seems that this battle is still unavoidable!" (To be continued.) )
