Xiliang-Shandan Ranch, after reading the urgent report from Xu Chang, Xiao Yi couldn't help giving a thumbs up to praise-a traitor in troubled times, well-deserved reputation!

As a time-traveling clan, Xiao Yi was extremely arrogant in his bones, and he also had an ambition ready to move in his chest. In his eyes, heroes from all over the world were just a group of dolls who could be manipulated as they wished. It was a kind of arrogance deep in the soul. This side of the world - I am the only one, but Cao Cao is an exception!

Regardless of Wenzhi, martial arts, strategy, literary talent, means... Cao Cao has extremely profound attainments. He is really a powerful character who "goes out as a general, enters as a prime minister, draws his sword to kill people, and writes poems with a pen", as the ancients said : 'In 500 years there must be a king', there is no doubt that Cao Cao is the king of this era, commanding the world and controlling the universe!

It was this kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Yi was willing to use for him. For the hegemony of the traitor, he went south and north and fought in the north. However, this kind of loyalty is only to Cao Cao himself, not to the Cao family. It is a limited loyalty!

In short, Xiao Yi's life creed is: 'If you can help, then you can help, if you can't replace him', after Cao Cao, if the successor is not good enough, or can't compare with himself, Xiao Yi doesn't mind personally controlling the power of the world, as for the Cao family A family, let them be prosperous for generations is enough!

However, Cao Cao is now in full swing and has at least 20 years to live, so Xiao Yi put away his small thoughts and continued to be a capable minister. Internally, he appeased the people, wiped out the princes, fought and killed externally, and expanded his territory!

Picturesque mountains and rivers, where the capable live--this is the right way in the world!

..........................................................................................

After more than a month of painstaking efforts, the Shandan Ranch has begun to take shape. Millions of horses, cattle, sheep, and camels have been driven over, and experienced shepherds have been selected to take care of these treasures. The outer city was built, and the area was expanded six times. Yan Ming, the 'Guardian Zhonglang', commanded [-] elite troops to garrison to ensure the safety of the ranch!

Some people have estimated that according to the current scale, as long as there is no major disaster, 20 war horses, [-] cattle and sheep, and a certain amount of strategic materials such as cowhide, horns, tendons, and horsetails can be produced every year. It's impressive, enough to make the princes of the world jealous, but Xiao Yi is still not satisfied, in a word - the ranch is too small!

The Shandan Ranch spans three counties and six counties, occupying the most fertile water and grass land in the north of Xiliang. This scale and production are enough to supplement the consumption of the civil war. However, if the Han family wants to expand their territory, they need More war horses and supplies require a larger pasture!

Besides, Xiao Yi has more far-reaching considerations. He leads the army to expand the territory and occupy the living space for future generations. To use an analogy, this is like building a house. If the land is too small and the decoration is poor, That is a dilapidated hut, leaking rain on all sides, worthless, future generations will definitely not take care of it carefully, maybe it will be thrown to the barbarians that day!

Historically, from Heishui in the east, the desert in the north, Congling in the west, and the sands in the south...the footprints of the soldiers of the Han army have all been left behind. Barren, with limited production resources, the country does not get any benefits, and the national power is wasted in vain, and finally it can only be discarded!

Conversely, if you own a large piece of land, manage it well, and turn it into fertile land with rich products, it is equivalent to leaving a luxury villa, which will be firmly held in the hands of future generations. Whoever dares to come and snatch it, they will fight My little life, I will also keep the foundation left by my ancestors!

Therefore, Xiao Yi wanted to expand the scale of the Shandan Ranch, including all the land in the four surrounding counties and more than a dozen counties, and turn it into a super-large ranch. On the one hand, it would provide enough horses for the soldiers of the Han army to expand the territory and compete for land. living space!

Second, such a treasured land will be firmly guarded by future generations. If anyone discards it, he will become a sinner through the ages. If the people in the world do not beat you to death, they will scold you to death!

However, there are some 'weeds' on this land, and they must be pulled out if they want to become good land for the Han family!

"Report to the Governor, the chiefs of the surrounding ministries have been ordered to come and are waiting outside the tent!"

"Banquet - welcome!"

"promise!"

While speaking, the Chinese military officer Xiaobin led in dozens of indigenous chiefs dressed in animal skins, with hair like grass and full of fishy smell, including Hu people, Yuezhi people, Huns, Wusun people..., and Some unnamed small nations!

In the land of Xiliang, Hu and Han live together, there are many tribes, and the borders are chaotic. Half a month ago, Xiao Yi passed down a military order that all tribal chiefs within a radius of two thousand miles should come to the army to discuss matters. !

"The savages outside the Great Wall... Pay homage to the great governor of Han Zhengxi!"

Following a burst of bad Chinese, dozens of chiefs knelt down and paid respects. It can be seen from their neat movements that they must have practiced many times, they are really cute and sensible!

It’s okay if you don’t behave well. Since the Han army’s western expedition, they have subdued the Qiang people, the Tu clan, and the Jie clan. The heads of the people killed are rolling, and the blood is flowing like a river. All ethnic groups in Xiliang are frightened, afraid that it will be their turn next. Listen When he arrived at the summons, he came day and night, and the horse's legs were broken several times. He was afraid that he would be late and make the governor unhappy!

"Exemption... I will give you a seat. Are all the chiefs here?" It is the tradition of the Han family to give the chiefs the courtesy first and then the soldiers. Xiao Yi warmly received the chiefs and gave him food and wine!

"Reporting to the governor, the chiefs of the Xiongnu Baiyang and Guifang did not come!" Xiaobin took out the roster, counted the number of people, and bowed to report!

"Pass down the order - Xuanjia iron cavalry dispatched, bloodbath the second department, kill them all, and bring back the chief's head to me!" Xiao Yi's expression remained unchanged, and between his words, it was as if he was about to crush two ants to death!

"promise!"

The military order was like a mountain, and a moment later, amidst the sound of horns, a group of black-armored cavalry rushed out of the camp, held up the battle flag, waved their sabers, and swept away towards the northwest...

"The governor is wise and mighty -- invincible in the world!"

In the blink of an eye, the two tribes were exterminated, and the chiefs were so scared that their faces turned pale. They have seen domineering people, but they have never seen such a domineering one. They all say that "Ghost Face Xiao Lang" is bloodthirsty, and he really deserves his reputation. Fortunately, he is smart. Come here, otherwise...

"Everyone is invited to come here today. There is an important matter to discuss—determining the border and resolving disputes!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the soldiers brought out a huge map. Looking at the mountains and rivers on it, it seemed to be a map of Xiliang...

However, this map is a bit strange. The mountains and rivers on it are undoubtedly Xiliang, but compared with the previous Han map, there are some differences. To be precise, it is a little bigger. Of course, it is not a lot. That's five or six times as much!

Let's put it this way, except for the eastern border that has not changed, the three directions of north, west, and south have all expanded greatly outwards. Especially the west side, there is no border line at all, and it has been marked to the end. In addition, the map is densely packed with Chinese characters, what Hancheng, Hanhe, Hanshan, Xiaojiagou, Wushouling... It seems that the whole land is the territory of the Han family!

This is a small trick played by Xiao Yi. If you want to occupy a piece of land, you must first give the mountains and rivers a Chinese name, and the name will have a real name. Slowly penetrate it, and over time, the land will become your own!

A few years later, even if a territorial dispute arises, the descendants of the Han family can confidently say, "This is our land, and it is certified by the place name!"

Looking at the marks on the map, all the chiefs grinned. They are illiterate, but they can understand the map. The reason is very simple. The grasslands, rivers, mountains and rivers where their tribe lives... are all on it. My family must recognize it Come out!

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land, the shore of the land, or the king's ministers? This is the famous saying of the sages, ancient and modern... But, for a long time, the border of Xiliang has been chaotic, with constant disputes among various ministries, and swords and soldiers everywhere. miserable...

The governor was ordered to go west to appease the people, how could he just sit idly by, and then re-plan the border line. From then on, everyone guards the territory, does not invade each other, and lives and works in peace and contentment. Isn't it beautiful! "

While speaking, Xiao Yi pointed to the map and patted his chest again, thinking that he had done a great deed, but unfortunately, in this era, there are no such titles as 'Five Good Youth' and 'March [-]th Red Banner Bearer', otherwise he would definitely win a big prize ah!

"Wow!... Mountain God, River God, Bull God, Horse God, Dog God..."

Looking at the map, the chiefs chanted various gods, and their hearts were filled with chills. In history, the Han family often established borders and mediated disputes. This is also a good thing for the surrounding tribes!

But the governor's method is too domineering, like a pack of wild wolves catching their prey and biting each other because of the uneven distribution of spoils. At this time, a strong lion came, in the name of mediating disputes , Monopolizing the prey, so the wild wolves don't have to fight, but they will starve to death!

"Report to the Governor, this is the ancestral water and grassland of our Wusun people. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once decreed that the descendants will reproduce and be hereditary..."

A chief with white beard and hair stood up, pointed to a place marked 'Xiaojiawa' on the map, and used the most humble tone to distinguish in a low voice, hoping to keep his homeland!

"Hehe, the governor may have drawn the wrong boundary. I'm sorry... Come on, chief Wusun is drunk, let's help him down to rest!"

If you listen to others, you will understand that Xiao Yi sincerely admits his mistakes when faced with others' corrections, expressing that he will definitely correct himself, and he also cares about the other person's body.

"Swipe!... Wipe!"

Hearing the order, a few wolves-like soldiers rushed up, dragged Chief Wusun out without saying a word, and then, there was a scream outside the tent, and there was no more sound!

"Chiefs, this governor is not good at drawing, if there are any mistakes, please correct me!"

"Don't dare... the governor is wise and wise, how can he make mistakes, even if there are mistakes, it's because the little people have misremembered the boundaries..."

Man is a wolf, and I am a lamb. In the face of absolute force, surrender is the only choice. Looking at the map, the chiefs only have one sentence in their hearts... "Heaven descended to kill the gods, and the land of Xiliang belongs to the Han family!"

726. Chapter 726 The Second Map

A politician once said: "The way to long-term peace and stability is to live a comfortable life for yourself, but also to let others have a way of life. Everything can't be done absolutely, otherwise, you will cut off your way of life and seek your own death!"

Xiao Yi used tyrannical means to snatch a large area of ​​land, but he knew very well that these tribal chiefs were not convinced. They were only afraid of the might of the Han army, and they just endured it for the time being. Once the army returned to the Central Plains, without strong suppression, they would definitely raise their flags and rebel. , and here comes trouble...

The tribal rebellion is about to be suppressed. When the army comes, they will be quiet, and when the army withdraws, they will make trouble again. The vitality of the prairie wolf is extremely tenacious. After repeated repetitions, the court's soldiers, horses, money, food, and supplies will continue to be consumed. , How can the imperial court free up its hands, wipe out the princes, and rule the world, this method is not advisable!

Xiao Yi will not do stupid things, he has also thought over and over again, in order to be peaceful forever, these nomadic tribes must be completely eliminated. Generally speaking, there are three ways:

One: Kill them all, once and for all; this method is the simplest and leaves no future troubles. When the people of the Central Plains deal with the enemy, this is the favorite way to deal with it. Once the city gate is closed, it is like a wolf rushing into the sheepfold. The slaughter is clean, and there is another big fire, and everything will be fine!

It's a pity that this is the grassland outside the Great Wall, and dozens of tribes are scattered in all directions. If a surprise attack is used, it is no problem to slaughter one or two tribes. If there is a large-scale massacre, the herdsmen will inevitably flee and hide in the vast wilderness. In 20 years, there is no way to kill them all. If they are not careful, they will be born again in the spring breeze!
