Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2982 Difficult to Integrate

Sichuan people rule Sichuan?

At least in this day and age, it's impossible.

Zhuge Liang understood this deeply.

Because Zhuge Liang not only received a ruler from Fei Qian's side, but also a ruler.

"If you give people rulers and tablets, the master will take them away and take pride in them." 』

So, is this just a matter of a wooden board?

Normally, trees are everywhere, so ruler-slips made from trees are not that rare. However, some people's ruler-slips are worth collecting, while some can only be sent to be burned.

Zhuge Liang stroked the ruler.

Scale, ruler.

The most difficult thing to measure is the human heart, and the most difficult thing to understand is the Dao.

What do poor people care about most?

How to have more money.

And what do rich people care about most?

How to absorb more production and living materials.

Just because of the difference in material quantity, people's thinking patterns may be completely different, not to mention different clans and tribes, as well as completely different customs and habits over the years, which will make it impossible for people to empathize with each other. of.

The Han people and the Ba people do not have any empathy. Similarly, the other tribes, the southern barbarians and the barbarians, also have no common emotions. Even the local concept of "Sichuan and Shu" is lacking.

Therefore, in the minds of many tribes in Sichuan and Sichuan, there are probably only three concepts that are clear: yours, mine, and God's.

The Han people are better.

This point means that there is an extra word, "clan", family, clan, nation.

Therefore, the Han people are easier to gather than these scattered tribes, have greater strength, can do more things, and create a more splendid civilization...

"This is the way for the Lord..." Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion, "If all people in the world are Han people, they can have one thought and work hard in one place, and there will be no disadvantage..."

However, this is difficult.

Zhuge Liang also knew this, so he could only gather as many people as possible.

According to the Lord's words, "unity".

There are too many things and people floating around in Sichuan and Shu. If we don't take this opportunity to unite, why don't we wait for people from Jiangdong or other people to get them?

When the Di people were planning to cause chaos, Zhuge Liang used his methods to not only eliminate some people, but more importantly, he severely suppressed the so-called "Holy Land"...

When the "Holy Land" is no longer sacred, it naturally loses its role in gathering people's hearts. Those who stray will naturally be absorbed by the Sichuan and Shu Han people in the center. This is what Zhuge Liang felt he did best when he came to Sichuan, instead of killing a few people today and killing the copycat tomorrow.

This time the Ba snake met the white tiger, it was indeed a crisis.

What Zhuge Liang has to do is to control the scale, limit risks, and seize good opportunities.

……(*`ェ*)……

Meng Huo felt very heavy. He did not expect that the situation would be like this.

He felt that he seemed to be very incompetent. Not only did he fail to complete the entrustment of Xu Shu, Shijun Xu, but he was even looked down upon by the leader of the Ba Snake!

Ge Laozi really has tangerine and wheat peel...

The leader of the Ba Snake seemed confident.

But what Meng Huo didn't know was why the leader of the Ba Snake had such strong confidence?

It is no longer a secret that the people from Jiangdong are mixed up in the queue of Baihu Bafu. It is not too difficult to guess what the people of Jiangdong want to do. On the contrary, what is more difficult to guess is the leader of Bashe.

Mr. Meng Huo felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't figure it out.

So he rushed to find Zhuge Liang...

What a piece of shit.

From Badong to Yufu, over mountains and ridges, only two legs are not enough, four more legs are needed.

The horse Meng Huo rode was a Sichuan horse.

Although there are many Xiliang horses under Feiqian, it does not mean that Xiliang horses can be found everywhere. Not everyone in Sichuan and Sichuan can have Xiliang horses. More people still have Xiliang horses. Riding a Sichuan horse. Sichuan horses are not big, but they are hardworking and good at climbing mountains. The only disadvantage is that they are very bumpy, especially when running up and down in Sichuan and Sichuan. It is really a pleasure to go up and down.

Historically, Guan Erye did not come to Sichuan and Shu. In addition to strategic considerations, it may also be because he looked down on the horses in Sichuan and Shu.

With Guan Erye's figure and burly posture, if he rode a small Sichuan horse, it would be like an ordinary person riding an underage donkey...

Zhuge Liang now retreats to the Yufu line.

The Jiangdong people also temporarily stopped their offensive because they needed to replace the governor.

The two sides seemed to have fallen into a strange period of preparation on the frontal battlefield.

When Meng Huo arrived at Yufu Camp, he saw Gan Ning.

Gan Ning is sharpening his knife.

Some people will leave the maintenance of armor and weapons to the guards, while others like to do it themselves.

Gan Ning is obviously the latter.

Gan Ning was not in a very happy mood. When he saw Meng Huo saluting, he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand to let Meng Huo go. Then he lowered his head and slowly sharpened his knife.

Crash, crash.

Meng Huo looked at the sharply sharpened blade in Gan Ning's hand. He didn't know why he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He hurriedly said goodbye and walked over. After walking a certain distance, he dared to look back and grabbed a piece of it. A small military academy, secretly asked: "General Gan, is this..."

"you do not know? ” The military academy was stunned for a moment, “Oh, you’re new here, right? 』

Meng Huo's face turned dark, "Why, can't we talk about the newcomer?" 』

"It's nothing serious..." the military academy lowered his voice, "I lost the battle, I feel unhappy..."

"ha? ! ” Meng Huo’s eyes widened.

Is this no big deal?

The military academy waved his hand and left on his own.

Meng Huo felt a little weak and swallowed his saliva.

Is Jiangdong so powerful now?

So now to find Zhuge to engage in work, right...

But looking at the surrounding situation, there seems to be no problem. And now that he is here, he will leave without even seeing you. If Zhuge gets blamed for something...

After all, even General Gan has to obey Zhuge's orders, and he himself, a little captain...

"Lieutenant Meng Du!" Please engage! 』

A personal guard did a roll call outside the Chinese army's tent.

"Come in. 』

From inside the tent, a young but very calm voice came.

Meng Huo trembled and entered the tent with his head lowered.

Compared with the light inside the big tent and outside the big tent, even if two windows are opened, there are still many differences. As soon as Meng Huo came in, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know whether he really wanted to see his feet clearly, or he accidentally caught the wooden planks in the tent, so he bowed forward with a groan...

Zhuge Liang was stunned.

Kneel down when you come in?

Is this an attempt to abdicate responsibility, or is there some major change?

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice. "Lieutenant Meng Du, why is this?" 』

As soon as Meng Huo heard Zhuge Liang's low tone, he became more and more nervous. The more nervous he was, the more he spoke unsmoothly. The more he spoke unsmoothly, the more nervous he became...

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang still had some patience. Seeing Meng Huo's behavior, he asked someone to add an extra seat for Meng Huo, and also asked someone to bring a bowl of syrup for Meng Huo to drink first. This was how Meng Huo calmed down. After a while, with some bumps and bruises, he told him what happened before, Fan Zao, the king of the Ba people, came to him, and the attitude of the Ba snake leader.

The syrup was not sweet at all, but sour, just like Meng Huo's current mood.

Meng Huo originally thought that winning such a job was a good opportunity, but he didn't expect that it was actually a deep pit...

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly after hearing this.

"So..." Zhuge Liang muttered, "The Ba Snakes have gathered together... at least most of them have gathered together..."

"Gather?" Meng Huo blinked, completely unable to keep up with Zhuge Liang's thinking.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Meng Huo.

Meng Huo also looked at Zhuge Liang in a daze.

Zhuge Liang originally didn't plan to explain anything to Meng Huo, because he felt that it would be too laborious to explain to a fool. He had that time to think about the deployment of military formations, layout arrangements, etc., but he suddenly thought that Meng Huo was Xu Shu Dianmao. Sent...

Zhuge Liang soon understood the meaning of Xu Shu asking Meng Huo to come forward, so he smiled and slowed down his speech, deliberately leaving some space for Meng Huo to speed up his brain and keep up. "Jiangdong sent people in." Mountain, what’s the biggest problem? Backup couldn't keep up. Therefore, although Jiang Dong followed the White Tiger people, he could not last long. The leader of Bashe also understood this, so he was not in a hurry and just delayed. 』

Meng Huo nodded repeatedly. It makes sense. Why didn't I think of it before?

There is no doubt that Jiangdong's soldiers are stronger than Ba ​​She's men, so Jiangdong also wanted to take Bashan in one go, so he asked Ba Fu to swagger around with great fanfare, luring Ba She's men to take the initiative to fight with the White Tiger men.

Jiangdong's invasion of Bashan is actually a bit like a surprise attack, and a surprise attack is all about quick victory. If it is delayed for a long time, it will become a positional battle. The pressure of food and grass will make these Jiangdong people return without success. .

That's why the leader of the Ba Snake confiscated almost all the Ba people's supplies in the name of God.

In this way, even if the white tiger defeated some of the Ba people, or even captured these Ba people, what would happen? Torturing or killing all these Ba people will arouse the anger and hatred of other Ba people, and raising these Ba people will increase their own burden...

It is precisely because of this that the leader of the Ba Snake will not relent to give Meng Huo, or give any supplies to the Han people represented by Meng Huo.

For Ba Snake, they have to delay, consume, and survive until the next victory. The more supplies they have, the longer they can delay, until the White Tiger cannot hold on and retreat, until the next harvest comes.

What Meng Huo thought and thought was just the reward for working, but he didn't expect that this was actually related to Ba She's future...

"Then I..." Meng Huo's eyes widened, "Then what should I do?" 』

"What did you originally want to do?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile, "Do you want to capture or even kill the leader of Ba Snake?" 』

If you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who caused the problem. This has always been the best strategy that people with relatively simple and direct thinking can think of.

"Well, I have this idea..." Meng Huo scratched the back of his head and replied with some embarrassment.

He also knew that this would not solve the problem, but his current intelligence could only allow him to realize that this was not a good idea. However, if he further thought about how to do it better, it would seem that he lacked computing power and was running out of memory. .

Zhuge Liang nodded and did not laugh at Meng Huo.

Meng Huo was just an agent, representing the attitudes of the Han people of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang.

It is a good glove to not act without authorization and to know how to discuss things before doing them.

It deserves some praise.

"You were right to come to me. "Zhuge Liang expressed his approval of Meng Huo's behavior, "Lieutenant Meng Du can understand things and know how to advance and retreat. In the future, he will definitely be promoted and rewarded, and he will receive a high official and a generous salary..."

Meng Huo smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed and said, "I will follow the good advice from Zhuge!" I...I am, haha, hahahaha..."

Like most areas in the Han Dynasty, people like Meng Huo, who came from a porcupine family, well, a wealthy family, all have their own thorns, so if Meng Huo really threw all his private soldiers into the Han Dynasty, When they went to Bashan, Xu Shu and Xu Huang would definitely express their appreciation, but they would definitely not give Meng Huo any manpower supplement. At most, they would provide money for official positions after the war.

"If you can't help but do it, you've fallen into a trap. Zhuge Liang said, "Ba Snake... You have seen snakes before. Generally speaking, they live in nests... Who told you that there is only one leader of Ba Snake?" It was a nest...a group of people...so when you kill one and think you have solved the problem, in fact you are standing in a snake's nest..."

"ah? ” Meng Huo’s eyes widened.

"So do you know why the people in Jiangdong didn't search all over the mountains and plains, but let Bafu lure them..." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

In fact, the relationship here is more complicated than Zhuge Liang said. Zhuge Liang just picked up some things that Meng Huo could understand better and said them. For example, the love, mutual dependence, etc. between the ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu and the Han people are all big problems, so how could it be possible in just one or two sentences? In the words, can it be solved by simply killing or not killing?

Just like the leader of Ba Snake, when he really can't hold on any longer, he will give money and supplies to ask the Han people to do something, but at that time, the leader of Ba Snake will secretly put the Han people on " Taking advantage of the situation, let every Ba people know that the Han people are vampires. After the danger recedes, the leader of the Ba snakes only needs to stir up the anger of being oppressed by the Han people at the right time...

What?

Didn't Xu Shu bully him after he came?

So what happened to the Han Dynasty three to four hundred years ago?

Can the previous three to four hundred years be wiped out just because Fei Qian and Xu Shu came?

The other ethnic minorities in Sichuan and Sichuan stared at it...

In fact, whether Bashan and Bashe will die or not, and whether Bashan will be unified by White Tiger Bafu, is not the main issue in itself. The most important thing is that there are too many ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu. If Xu Shu cannot take advantage of the opportunity this time If the dominant position of the Han people is established, it will eventually follow the path that the Han people have followed for three to four hundred years.

Show strength to the ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu, and test the scope of cooperation of the surrounding ethnic groups to see to what extent they are willing to accept the leadership of the Han people, laying the foundation for the future unification of Sichuan and Shu and population compilation.

Compared with this kind of thing in the next ten or twenty years and the life and death of being the leader of the Snake, who is less important and who is more important?

And are these ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Sichuan really just a minority?

In fact, just like the information that Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang learned, local powerful people such as Menghuo have been inextricably linked with the Han people. They wear many pieces of robes, and they feel that the external environment has become more favorable. When you are wearing something, you just know what to wear, and the transition between them is very smooth.

The Han people are strong because of their Han robes. If the barbarians become powerful, they will paint their faces to show that they are barbarians.

Fortunately, the tribes in Jianning, South China, are now inseparable from the Han people.

This is the overall general trend. The more frequently production activities interact with each other and the higher the development of productivity, the more isolated ethnic tribes in this society will be eliminated, and the rest will naturally cooperate with each other...

Meng Huo wanted to gain a higher status, to be independent from the Meng family in Jianning, Nanzhong, and to start his own business. The more he wanted, the more he had to pay.

Meng Huo's eyes widened, and the joy he had just felt suddenly turned into sadness, "Zhuge is engaged in... what exactly is he going to do?" 』

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, "This matter... is not difficult..."

Meng Huo is not really stupid and knows how to find this place, so Zhuge Liang will be willing to meet him and tell him the secret. If Meng Huo is stupid enough to go to Xu Shu or Xu Huang, I'm afraid It’s not that there’s not even a human figure to be seen.

How can you casually touch the upper level if you have the awareness of gloves?

The key point of the contradiction now is whether to walk out of the mountains or into the mountains.

The problem Xu Shu is facing now is that he hopes more people from these ethnic minorities can come out, but it cannot be said that they simply come out, but they need to stay at the foot of the mountain, settle down, and gradually become like ordinary Han people, and those minorities The leaders of the nation prefer that their people only go down the mountain when "needed".

Only by being able to stay at the foot of the mountain can it be regarded as completely changing the original environment of Sichuan and Shu, otherwise it is meaningless.

From this point of view, the conflict between Xu Shu and these minority leaders is completely opposite.

"I want to set up defenses here, but I really can't escape his care," Zhuge Liang said slowly, "If it weren't for the fact that Commander Xu also favors you...this matter wouldn't be your turn..."

"If you are engaged, please give me your orders!" Meng Huo said in a deep voice.

Now that he has left Jianning, he naturally doesn't want to go back in despair.

Everyone has to pay something to be successful.

Either flesh and blood, conscience, or chrysanthemums...

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Well, the first step... let's find someone first..."

"Who are you looking for?" Meng Huo asked.

"The leaders of each tribe. Zhuge Liang said.

Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, but immediately did not ask why, but said: "May I ask where to look for it?" 』

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Of course it's in Bashan." 』

Meng Huo raised his head and looked at the Daba Mountains. He saw mountains stacked on top of each other. The mountains and forests were like turbulent waves, as if there were millions of soldiers hidden there. He was a little distracted for a moment. After a while, he asked: "In the mountains?" How to find this? 』

"This tribal leader is like beads scattered in the wild in Bashan Mountain," Zhuge Liang smiled and stood with his hands behind his hands. "However, if you can find a needle and thread, you can pierce them all and get them like a chain!" 』
