The Three Kingdoms

"Most of the terrain we have surveyed is very good, with Yuyang on the west and Liaoxi on the east. It's high, but it's still a barrier!"

Zhuge Jin analyzed it carefully for Sun Quan.

"Ziyu, do you think this place is suitable for building a city?"

While listening, Sun Quan looked at the map on the book case with his eyes. After a while, he asked.

"My lord, to build a city on the grassland, if you choose the address, this is the best place!"

Zhuge Jin thought for a while, and then said: "However, large tents have always been used as houses on the grassland, and horses and sheep are used to live in peace. There is no precedent for building a city. It will be very troublesome to actually do it!"

"There is always a first time for everything!"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "Our country of Wu doesn't want to give up the benefits brought by this prairie, and we don't want these nomads to remain the same as before, changing places after a war. Therefore, we can only build a city, relying on Cities, nomadic grasslands, horses and sheep!"

"Will the Karasuma people agree?" Zhuge Jin asked worriedly.

"It depends on Lou Ban's ability!"

Sun Quan shrugged.He said with a smile: "The Karasuma people have been sorted out by us now. If Lou Ban can't control the overall situation, he is not worthy to be the spokesperson for us to control Karasuma!"

In the past few days, Sun Quan has entered the Karasuma Tribe in the name of King Wu, and the only remaining elder leaders of the Karasuma Tribe he met with fully supported Louban.

He also personally stroked the leaders of the Karasuma tribe, several stubborn leaders, leaders who had resentment towards the state of Wu, had already been beheaded by him in public, as an example to others.

these years.The reaction of the Karasuma Tribe was very good, at least on the point of surrendering to Wu, there was no disagreement.

The Karasuma tribe is considered to be stable, so the next step is to use dripping water to wear stones, and take actions step by step to make the word Karasuma people disappear in history.

What Sun Quan has to do is to assimilate them.

"Your Majesty, Lou Ban, I have been in contact with him for the past few days. He has good conversation and knowledge, and has read books. He doesn't look like a nomad. He has good abilities. It's hard to believe that with his talent, he was suppressed. For so many years!" Zhuge Jin said.

"Ta Dun is a tyrannical hero, while Lou Ban is at most a prince guarding one side. It's normal for Ta Dun to overwhelm him!" Sun Quan smiled slightly and said, "However, if we let the country of Wu choose a Karasuma Shan Yu. To control the Karasuma Tribe, Gu would rather choose Lou Ban than Ta Dun, do you know why?"

"Lou Ban is easier to control than Ta Dun?"

Zhuge Jin's eyes lit up, and he said tentatively.

"clever!"

Sun Quan nodded: "Ta Dun must die, because he is not submissive, but Lou Ban can accept our Wu State!"

"My lord, from a certain point of view, Lou Ban's heart is still towards the Karasuma tribe. There is no guarantee that one day he will not rebel against us again for Karasuma's so-called freedom!"

Zhuge Jin said cautiously.

"After all, he is from Karasuma. If he doesn't care about the Karasuma tribe, he is cold-blooded. I dare not use such a leader!" Sun Quan stood up, his eyes sharpened: "As long as he cares about the Karasuma tribe, then It's like having a burden in our hearts, as long as we control Karasuma, we can control him, and if we control him, we can also control Karasuma, he can't get out of the palm of his hand!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Zhuge Jin complimented: "In this way, as long as we stabilize Lou Ban, the entire Karasuma will become a sharp blade for us to conquer the alien race in the grassland!"

"You can't say that. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. We should give him some hope!"

After thinking about it, Sun Quan took out a pen, tapped ink, and then made a circle on the map and wrote three words: Louban County.

"Louban County?" Zhuge Jin's eyes moved slightly.

Sun Quan put down the pen and ink in his hand, looked at Zhuge Jin, and said, "Gu intends to establish the first county on the grassland in the name of Louban, and call it Louban County. Come and set up the shelf for this county for me. County Shou is Louban!"

"Your Majesty intends to leave Lou Ban in the grassland?"

Zhuge Jin frowned slightly.

"Only when he is on the prairie can he play his role!" Sun Quan nodded: "Only the Karasuma tribe can burn his greatest value. It is useless to bring him back to Jinling!"

"But this is not conducive to our control of the Karasuma Tribe and Louban County!"

Zhuge Jin suggested: "It's better to send Lou Ban to Jicheng, and send another person to control Lou Ban County!"

"Ziyu, sometimes you don't have to be rigid in doing things!"

Sun Quan shook his head, looked at Zhuge Jin, and said: "At the critical moment, if you want to employ people boldly, you should trust him. As long as there is a rebellion, it can only be prevented, and it cannot be defined early on. Otherwise, we will always be in a state of distrust, which is very detrimental to Wu Guo's recovery of the Karasuma tribe, and only by using Lou Ban can the Karasuma people's hearts be stabilized!"

"The minister has been taught!"

Zhuge Jin bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Lei Ding opened the door of the big tent, walked in, and said with cupped hands: "Lou Ban said that the Karasuma Tribe has a gift. I want to donate it to the king, please go to the pasture!"

"pasture?"

Sun Quan heard the words, stood up, and smiled slightly.Walking out, he said while walking, "Ziyu, go and see what kind of gift Lou Ban can give Gu here?"

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin nodded and stood up quickly.Follow behind Sun Quan.

The Karasuma tribe lives on nomadism. In fact, it is not just the Karasuma tribe. All grassland races, including the Xianbei and the Huns, basically live by herding sheep and horses.

Basically, they exchanged the sheepskin, milk and strong horses for the food of the people in the Central Plains.

Of course, every year, they don't have enough food to survive the winter.

Winter on the grassland is very difficult, people starve to death and freeze to death.Countless, in order to save a morsel of food, sometimes old grassland people will go deep into the grassland and wait to die.

This is why, as long as winter is approaching, the nomads will be dispatched one by one, sending troops south to plunder the Central Plains.

These days, whether you are ambitious or wild, you are willing to give your life to fight.Ninety percent out of ten, it's all for a full mouthful of food.

The Karasuma Ranch is on the east side. It is a large grassland surrounded by layers of wooden fences.On the left is the sheep pen. This year has been an eventful year for the people of Karasuma. There are not many sheep in this season.

In the entire sheepfold, there are only a thousand sheep scattered here and there.This number seems to be quite a lot, but based on the current 10,000+ people in the Karasuma tribe, if you want to rely on them to survive the winter, at least half of the Karasuma people will starve to death.

On the right is a large racecourse.

In the racecourse, war horses were neighing.

Karasuma warhorses are the first-class warhorses on the prairie. The warhorses in Liaodong and Youzhou generally come from warhorses raised by the Karasuma tribe.

At its peak, there were tens of thousands of war horses in this racecourse, but when Tadun went south, it had been equipped for a lot of cavalry, and now there are not many left, only a few hundred war horses were born in the entire racecourse.

"Your Majesty!"

Before the ranch, Lou Ban and a dozen Karasuma chiefs had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Sun Quan, they all saluted respectfully.
