"Fengxiao, Zhongda, Lone has some ideas here, you can see, is it feasible?"

Guo Jia and Sima Yi glanced at each other, looked at Cao Cao, who was a little excited, their faces were a little surprised and curious, and they arched their hands towards Cao Cao and said, "The ministers are willing to hear the king's strategy." ”

"According to Lone's opinion, if you want to solve the northern border troubles, the first thing is to turn the grassland into the territory of my Central Plains Dynasty, and in order to achieve this, the first step is to build a city!"

The original territory of the Central Plains Dynasty was not as large as it is now, and today's huge territory, the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, is a dynasty that has been passed through guò generation after generation, and has built walls and spread culture in the outer lands, so as to assimilate the local aborigines.

When time passes, a hundred years later, these lands on which the Han people built the city wall have become the land of the Han people, the territory of the Han people, it can be said that the Han people are not without colonization, compared to the Western colonizers, the Han people began to colonize as early as BC, and its results, just looking at the territory map of the Han Dynasty today, can be understood, is undoubtedly huge.

From the Xia Dynasty's territory confined to the Yellow River region, to the Shang Dynasty's expansion to the Yangtze River, to the Zhou Dynasty's expansion to the south, until the Qin Dynasty's unification, the north and the grassland, the south and South Asia, it can be said that the known places have become the territory of the Han people, and one of the most important means is to build cities!

Cao Cao believed that as long as a city could be built on the grassland, supplemented by cultural assimilation, after a hundred years, all the northern barbarians would become Han Chinese, and in this way, the northern frontier would not be decided.

It's just that compared to the joy in Cao Cao's heart, Guo Jia and Sima Yi had a touch of helplessness on their faces, and Guo Jia even thought about Cao Cao and said: "Although this strategy is good, the grassland construction of the city costs a lot. First of all, the nomads on the grassland will not agree, and will inevitably send troops to attack them, plus our Han people are a farming people, and the grassland is really not suitable for our Han people to live. Even if the construction of the city is completed, there are very few Han people who are willing to leave the Central Plains and settle on the grassland. ”

Cao Cao, who originally thought that there was something big wrong with his strategy, heard Guo Jia's words. But he laughed and said: "It's okay, there is a way to solve this problem, ordinary people are not willing to come to the grassland, and they are not reluctant, but those prisoners are easy to say, in the future, those prisoners who commit crimes and do not die can be exiled to the grassland and become the first batch of people from my Han people to settle in the grassland!" ”

How did the Western colonizers colonize other regions, isn't it just that they continue to exile criminals and finally achieve colonization? One of the most famous is the Mayflower to the Americas, the British who colonized the Americas are not ordinary people, they are a group of criminals, thieves, hooligans, etc., the British are through guò This method, gradually colonized the Americas, as well as Australia.

Of course, Western countries are small countries with few people, so the world for them to achieve this goal is often very long. But the Han Dynasty is not, when the Eastern Han Dynasty was strong, the population reached 50 million, even now because of wars, plagues, etc. The population is still around 40 million, not to mention the Central Plains, which has begun to gradually recover at this time, with a huge population base, it is easy to fill the grassland city.

Cao Cao's words, for Guo Jia and Sima Yi. It was like a bolt from the blue, and their ideas were limited to a framework, and they never thought that there would be such a clever method.

It is indeed clever, first of all, the criminals are exiled there, Cao Cao does not have to worry that he will bear the name of a tyrant, and at the same time, the people will not complain.

At the same time, most of these criminals are often brave and ruthless, and they are exiled to the grassland, coupled with the care and training of Cao's soldiers, not to mention the rest, at least when the nomads on the grassland want to attack, with them, maybe they can be dragged until the Central Plains army arrives.

If this strategy succeeds, the number of Han cities on the grassland will gradually increase, and then the grassland will completely become the territory of the Central Plains.

Don't think that the Chinese have no ** to expand, the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, I think it is the greatest merit of the ancient Chinese, and it is also an achievement that can definitely leave a name in history, and turning the grassland into a territory, not only to open up the territory and expand the territory, but also to eliminate the border troubles of thousands of years, thinking of being able to complete this peerless feat that has never been done before, Guo Jia and Sima Yi are breathing rapidly, and for Cao Cao, who thought of this method, the admiration in their hearts is even stronger.

If he can continue to be so wise as a successor, then why can't I, Sima Yi and even the Sima family, do my best to assist him and even his descendants!

Sima Yi secretly thought in his heart, although he was loyal to Cao Cao, Sima Yi was not wholeheartedly, and he didn't know why, but every time he saw Cao Cao, Sima Yi felt that there was a voice in his heart shouting something.

But at this moment, looking at Cao Cao, who looked confident and came up with such an amazing method, the voice that had been there disappeared, and in its place was the idea of wanting to be loyal to Cao Cao with all his heart.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't understand, he unconsciously convinced Sima Yi, but he was even more excited, and said all the remaining thoughts in his heart: "Building a city is only the first step, if my Han people want to rule the grassland, or even assimilate those barbarians, it is almost impossible without decades, so this second step, that is, first of all, to unify the grassland tribes, so that the grassland in the incomparably divided at this time can be unified!" ”

"You can't be a king, the division of the grassland is really a good thing for our dynasty, once it is unified, it will inevitably become the disaster of the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the past!"

Guo Jia's face was full of horror to stop Cao Cao, he couldn't understand what Cao Cao thought, he actually wanted to unify the grassland, if the grassland was unified, then wouldn't the Central Plains Dynasty have to face the Xiongnu and Xianbei again.

"Haha, Fengxiao don't worry, after listening to Gu, after the unification of the grassland, someone will inevitably serve as the Great Khan of the grassland, and this Great Khan will be decided!"

When the Han people were the Great Khan, Guo Jia and Sima Yi were all stunned, looking at Cao Cao in a daze, at this time their hearts were extremely shocked and chaotic, after all, such a thing has never happened since then.

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the shock in Guo Jia and Sima Yi's hearts at all, but continued to cast a greater thunder and said: "After Lone becomes the Great Khan, the first thing to do is to divide the leaders of the tribes of the grassland as kings, divide and rule them, and at the same time demarcate the territories of each department, and send troops to attack the territories of other tribes without authorization, and all the tribes of the grassland and even the Central Plains will jointly crusade against them, and if they are the kings of the world, they will enjoy infinite wealth and wealth, and what they have to do is to go to Kyoto every year for themselves or their descendants to meet the Son of Heaven, and the grassland herdsmen, Every three years, I have to accept a call-up to join my Han army and fight for my Han dynasty, and at the same time, I don't believe that I can't completely turn the grassland into the land of my Han people!
