Chapter 515: The Benevolent Are Invincible

Wei Ba wants to be a benevolent person, it is by no means a conscience discovery, or he really regards himself as a god general who favors the world, he has no choice, and the reality is forced by the environment.

As Zhu Wu said, since Qin Shi Huang sent 500,000 Qin troops into Lingnan, the conquest of the Han people in the Central Plains to the south has lasted for four or five hundred years, but what is the result? Not to mention that Lingnan is still a foreign land, even Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling and other places are still the territory of barbarians, so to speak, after the south of the Yangtze River, most of the area is the world of barbarians.

It's not that barbarians are tough. The barbarians are indeed strong, but if they really want to fight with the Han people, then they are still not enough. What they rely on is geographical advantage, the dividing line between the Han and the barbarians is usually the geographical dividing line, and when they enter the mountain, it is the world of the barbarians, and when they go out of the mountain, it is the world of the Han people.

From this forward, it is a mountainous area that stretches for thousands of miles, if you want to conquer them one by one, not to mention Wei Ba, even if Wei Ba's son and grandson come together, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete this important task.

If the attack fails, then there is only temptation.

Barbarian weishenme easy to rebel and difficult to settle? Most of them were because Han Chinese officials were too harsh in their oppression and increased taxes in addition to the taxes stipulated by the imperial court without authorization. The barbarians live in the mountains, and their lives are already difficult, and if they increase their endowment, they may go bankrupt, and if they encounter those bad officials again, it may be the result of a ruined family. At this time, what option did they have if they did not rebel? So the barbarians are easy to rebel against, but as long as the court changes its strings and sends benevolent officials, they will soon surrender again. After all, the barbarians who really want to rebel for political gain are in the minority, and so far they have not succeeded.

The barbarians did not oppose the Han Chinese officials. Officials who can bring them benefits, they are still very welcome. Such examples are not uncommon, and the most famous in later generations should be Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng. After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he took into account the special situation of the barbarians and allowed the barbarians to be autonomous. The people of Nanzhong are grateful to Zhuge Liang, although Zhuge Liang is actually enslaving them, but his strength is not enough. You can only exercise restraint.

The barbarians had a hard time. Their ruthlessness is poor, they can't survive, they can only fight with you. When dealing with such a person, you are more ruthless than him. That's asking for trouble. Lao Tzu said. The people are not afraid of death. Why fear it? If you want to get their support, it is actually very simple, that is, to bring them a better life.

Wei Ba has no money now. The battle in Guanzhong is imminent. The Wei family's financial and material resources must first support Daddy's war in Guanzhong, and it is impossible to have spare strength to support him, which Daddy has made very clear. He wanted to bring Wei Ba to Guanzhong, but unfortunately the prime minister was not allowed, and he couldn't do anything.

But Wei Ba has jishu. Everyone knows that Wei Ba's mechanical jishu is alone in the world, and what crossbows and siege vehicles are all sharp weapons for attack and defense. But they didn't know that Wei Ba's mechanical jishu was not originally a murderer, but a living person. He studied agricultural machinery.

Wei Ba's almost magical mechanical jishu can bring benefits to the barbarians in the mountains, as evidenced by the overpass across the canyon. The traffic in the mountains is inconvenient, the canyons are vertical and horizontal, the traffic basically depends on walking, the communication basically depends on roaring, and the eyes look only a hundred and ten steps away, but if you want to go there, you may have to walk for half a day. Wei Ba can build bridges, which can provide great convenience.

And that's just one aspect.

There is little arable land in the mountains, irrigation is inconvenient, and sometimes the surging river water cannot be used. Wei Ba has a waterwheel to carry water, which can increase the area of irrigation, bring convenience to life, and also bring an increase in grain production.

These are Wei Ba's secret weapons, and with this secret weapon, Wei Ba has the confidence to say that I can bring you benefits.

Zhuge Liang's benefit to the barbarians was to reduce taxes and be passive, while Wei Ba's benefit to the barbarians was more productive and active. From this point of view, he can do better than Zhuge Liang.

This is also the reason why Liao Li has confidence in Wei Ba.

Benefits, of course, have to be given to the people around you first, Confucianism talks about five services, which also refers to the five levels of the circle of interests. For Wei Ba, the closest one at present is, of course, Wuximan, and the Xiongxi tribe of Xiangfu is also one of Wuxi, and it is related to the future march into Jiaozhou, so Wei Ba naturally has to give priority to the affairs of the Xiongxi tribe.

"I plan to send people to Xiongxi first, explain the benefits and disadvantages to them, and hope that they can get lost and return, and don't go all the way with the Wu people." Wei Ba nodded at Chenyang's position. "Although the negotiations have not yet ended, Chenyang as the new county ruler of Wuling is already in my jihua. When the time comes, with Chenyang as the heart and Wuxi as the backing, I am ready to survey the terrain, open up the rice fields, and at the same time renovate the cottages, erect bridges, open trade roads, and integrate Wuling County into a large community of interests, so that every tribe can benefit from it as much as possible and live a more haode life. In the east of Chenyang, there are haode rice fields, which can produce more grain, and in the west of Chenyang, there are also a large number of mountain goods and rare treasures, if the two sides are mutually beneficial, and they are exchanged, I believe that everyone's life will be much better than now. ”

Wei Ba told Xiangfu and Zhu Wu in detail about his considerations, Zhu Wu was better, but Xiangfu was moved. He could see that Wei Ba's Jihua was very feasible. Wei Ba not only has the benevolence of those good Han officials, but he also has jishu that those officials do not have, and more importantly, he did not bring many soldiers, the Wei family's military soldiers, the Zhao family's spearmen, and the Guan family's sword and shield hands, all of which add up to no more than five hundred people, and the rest are all barbarians themselves. In other words, they need to burden very little, and Wei Ba can provide them with a lot.

Such an opportunity, the Xiongxi tribe should not miss it, otherwise, they can only watch the other tribes eat meat, the Xiongxi tribe can't even drink the soup, maybe it will be divided by Wei Ba and other tribes at that time.

"My lord, your method is good, salute first and then soldier, I think it's okay." Xiangfu smiled all over his face: "Why don't I go there myself?" ”

"You can't go, I'm afraid that Huaigen will lose his heart and ruin your life, then my loss will be great." Wei Ba smiled and waved his hand: "You pick two people who can speak well, and I will arrange for someone to go back with them at that time, and when they agree, it will not be too late for you to come forward." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Xiangfu nodded gratefully.

"Lu Kai and Huaigen are together. Once the Xiongxi tribe returns to Wuxi, Lu Kai will presumably retreat to Yulin. I would like to ask you to send someone back to Yulin first, contact your master, and be ready to respond. We should seize this opportunity to completely drive the Wu people out of Jiaozhou. Wei Ba said to Zhu Wu again: "I can tell you frankly that it is unlikely that the Shi family will restore the glory of the past, but he should live with dignity." This. I can guarantee it. ”

Zhu Wu bowed down to receive the order: "As the adults said, my master will definitely be grateful." My lord, I'm going to leave now? ”

"No, I'll leave after the Chinese New Year's Eve meeting. I still have some details to discuss with you. ”

"Whoa."

……

There is a martial mountain in the west of Chenyang soon. There is a cave halfway up the mountain. It is said that it was the place where the emperor and the pangyu lived in seclusion. But after a long time, even the barbarians of Wuling only remember that there is such a legend, but they don't take it too seriously. After Wei Ba learned about this cave. But he didn't let it go easily, he announced that in the future, he would worship Pangyu and the emperor here every New Year, just like the Han people want to worship their ancestors during the New Year, and it will become a custom.

For this day, Wei Ba sent people to the Three Valleys just after the end of the war, and brought in two masters, Flying Fox and Shuai Zeng, leaving only the injured Gang Haode one-way stay. Considering that for a period of time, the Wu people may still come to retaliate, it is still very necessary to leave some people to operate in the Three Valleys.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Flying Fox, Shuai Zeng and others finally arrived at Longyan Beach in time, and Pan Ziyu came with them. Seeing Pan Ziyu, Zhao Tong, who has always been calm and generous, became a little cramped, and in the laughter of Heisha and others, Zhao Tong walked forward with a twist, took Pan Ziyu's hand, and fled to a place where no one was.

Pan Ziyu blushed, bit her lip, and held back for a long time before saying, "How is my father?" ”

"Okay." Zhao Tong smiled: "It's just that I have a big temper, I went to see it a few times, but I didn't give a good face." ”

"Really?"

"Well, it's no wonder he's not." Zhao Tong hurriedly explained to Pan Jun: "He is old, but he has fallen into this situation, which is inevitably a little uncomfortable. Besides, it is normal for such a haode daughter to marry such a martial artist as me, and he is not satisfied. ”

Pan Ziyu glanced at Zhao Tongyi: "Do you really think so?" ”

Zhao Tong nodded again and again: "Yes, I do think so." It's a blessing for me to be able to marry you. At this point, I really want Xiexie Ziyu, if he hadn't insisted on it in the contract, I don't think your father would have agreed. ”

The corners of Pan Ziyu's mouth twitched slightly: "Doesn't he know what the princess thinks about you until now?" ”

Zhao Tong's face flushed: "He...... You should know, but he doesn't like the princess very much. ”

Pan Ziyu pretended to be careless. "What about you?"

"I ......" Zhao Tong stammered and hesitated for a long time: "Although I don't hate the princess as much as Ziyu, I also think that she is indeed not as virtuous as you." ”

"Clever words." Pan Ziyu chuckled: "Let's go, go and meet my father, if you don't explain it first, he will be unhappy at that time." ”

"Well, am I going?"

"You don't want to go. We haven't gotten married yet, so it stands to reason that we can't meet, but he saw it and had something to say. ”

"Well, be careful." Zhao Tong cautiously followed behind, personally supported the boat, and sent Pan Ziyu to the place where Pan Jun and the others were being held, and then stood aside and watched Pan Ziyu walk into the cave.

Pan Jun knelt in the cave, closed his eyes and recuperated, Zhu Ji sat aside, not knowing what he was thinking, Zhou Yin put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and paced back and forth in the cave. Hearing Pan Ziyu's footsteps, they all raised their heads in unison. Pan Jun's face sank and closed his eyes again, but Zhou Yin sneered and laughed, and said in a weird manner: "General Pan, look, isn't this your daughter, she's not dead?" I always thought she was keeping the holidays. What kind of clothes are you wearing, is it the barbarian's favorite dress? ”

Pan Ziyu rolled his eyes and sneered: "Yo, isn't this the son of the Governor of Zhou?" Why, you've come to the heart of the barbarians? Sure enough, he is like a god with soldiers, and he is unscrupulous, and he is not ashamed. ”

Zhou Yin rolled his eyes, was speechless, and hid to the side. (To be continued......)
