With the expansion of Sun Ce's power and the surge in his soldiers, Sun Ce had to temporarily stop the attack on Yuan Shu. It was not that Sun Ce did not want to take down Shouchun in one go, but that his troops were exhausted. Because of the surge in the number of troops, it was inevitable that there would be a mixed phenomenon of dragons and snakes and mixed quality.

Therefore, it is definitely not a wise move to start a war with Yuan Shu who is raising his strength under such conditions. Under Sun Quan's strong request, Sun Ce agreed to suspend external expansion and instead implement internal rectification. For the huge army, Sun Ce did not adopt the elite military route of survival of the fittest like Ao Lie, but accepted it all. But Sun Ce was not a fool. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the army was an important factor in determining the outcome.

Therefore, Sun Ce divided the entire army into three parts. The first part was the most elite 20,000 people, including the 10,000 soldiers he borrowed from Ao Lie. After a series of wars and clearances, the 10,000 soldiers brought from Yanjing had been reduced to more than 8,000, but these 8,000 people were all elite. Together with the other 12,000 elite soldiers, they mixed up into Sun Ce's direct personal army and became an elite army without a number. Here we should mention that Qu Agu is called Danyang, and Danyang has always been a place of abundant elite soldiers. After Sun Ce got Qu A, he immediately recruited thousands of Danyang elite soldiers and together with the 8,000 elite soldiers from Yanjing, forming the skeleton of the personal guards. The elite personal guards formed by Sun Ce were actually the only elite troops in later history that Eastern Wu could take advantage of - the predecessor of the Suwei Army.

The second part of the army had a population of about 50,000. This part of the people was composed of sergeants with combat power in the middle. The reason why Sun Ce could rise up flat on the ground. The construction of the Sun family's high-rise buildings in Jiangdong in a short period of time was inseparable from the support of the major gentry of Jiangdong. The most representative figure among them was the Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, whom Sun Ce relied on and trusted the most. Therefore, in order to repay the support of the Jiangdong gentry, and to tie them to his warship more closely, Sun Ce specially took out 50,000 sergeants with combat power in the middle and rewarded them to various civil and military officials.

The situation of Jiangdong and You is different. The Jiangdong gentry is quite influential in the local area and cannot get the support of the gentry. Even if Sun Ce gets Jiangdong, he cannot control the overall situation. This is caused by the special humanistic atmosphere of Jiangdong and the long-standing historical phenomenon. Originally, Sun Ce did not want to continue to rely on the Jiangdong gentry, but after a long talk with Sun Quan, Sun Quan argued with reason and listed the influence of the Jiangdong gentry one by one, and won over the benefits that they could get and the damage they would suffer. Sun Ce changed his original intention. He decided to try his best to get more support from the Jiangdong gentry, and formally appointed Sun Quan as the Minister of the Interior to coordinate the relationship between the various gentry members in Jiangdong.

The last part of the sergeant was about 30,000. These people were part of the low combat effectiveness and were taken to the battlefield. They could only play the role of cannon fodder. But after all, they were also 30,000 soldiers. Sun Ce's foundation was not stable and he was reluctant to throw them away, so he sent them to various places to serve as county soldiers. At the same time, he ordered the county magistrates to train them strictly. They tried to improve their combat effectiveness as soon as possible and become reserve soldiers for the main force.

When Sun Ce carried out drastic internal rectification, Ao Lie, who was in Yanjing, also received a series of good news. First, Zhao Yun led his army to return victoriously. In the shortest time, he quickly pacified the remnants of the Xianbei Kebien in the eastern part of the eastern part, and made the Xianbei territory officially become one of the components of the Han Dynasty. Then, Lu Bu also returned to Yanjing. Like Zhao Yun, Lu Bu completely cleared the remnants of the Xianbei Budeng in the western part at a faster speed. The return of the two people with great victory was really delighted. Two of the three Xianbei tribes, with a vast territory, had been completely subdued, leaving only a dozen small tribes of the Xianbei in the central part, and were still struggling.

The return of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun not only brought back news of victory, but also brought back a large number of frozen cattle and sheep. There were also many Xianbei people who were willing to move to the mainland. In the battle to pacify the three tribes of Xianbei, many Xianbei soldiers were unable to return to the grassland, and their cattle and sheep family business was privately annexed by other tribe leaders. Later, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu led their troops to pacify the two Xianbei tribes of the East and West. These frozen cattle and sheep were brought to their hands and returned to the families of Xianbei soldiers who died in battle. At the same time, the families of the soldiers who died in battle saw that the Han army had no harm to the ordinary Xianbei people, and also sent back the cattle and sheep that were stolen by the tribe leaders. So they willingly presented cattle and sheep and followed the Han army to Yanjing.

The total number of Xianbei people brought back by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun was more than 40,000. In addition, in several previous battles, Ao Lie captured more than 100,000 Xianbei surrendered troops. The number of Xianbei people in Yanjing City reached an astonishing 150,000, almost half of the number of Han people in the city. The surge in the number of Xianbei people in Yanjing City was another happy worry for Ao Lie.

With a rich population, the more wealth it can create. Therefore, the amount of the population is an indirect reflection of a country's comprehensive national strength and the most important resource for a country. Of course, Ao Lie hopes that the more people under his rule, the better, but now Ao Lie has to calm down and carefully think about the problems of the Xianbei people.

In Ao Lie's plan, these 150,000 Xianbei people must accept the integration with the Han people. While learning etiquette and production, they can also drive the enthusiasm of the Han people to rise up and eliminate the lazy habits that have been developed for a long time due to comfort. In the army, the bravery and ruthlessness of the Xianbei soldiers can also stimulate the Han army and make the Han army burst out with fighting will again. These are all good influences, but the migration of a large number of Xianbei people also brought many negative effects.

The Xianbei people are nomadic peoples. In order to cope with the severe winter, they often launch plunder of You and the people in winter, which has been like this for decades. Therefore, the Han people have extremely hated the Xianbei people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these two ethnic groups are mortal enemies. This makes the Han residents in Yanjing City have no sense of identity with the new Xianbei people, and often a group of Han people besieged a Xianbei people. Ao Lie is worried that if this continues, not only will the Xianbei people not integrate into the Han people, but will instead inspire the wildness of the Xianbei people. A riot in Yanjing City is not what Ao Lie hopes to see.

No one can help Ao Lie in dealing with the issue of Xianbei, and even Zhuge Liang, because Ao Lie's subordinates are smart and talented, but they are always people of this era. Their thinking cannot transcend the limitations of this era. They are not very clear about the meaning of the word national integration. Therefore, how to deal with the problem of Xianbei is only Ao Lie himself to find a way to properly solve it.

However, Ao Lie's troubles were not over there. Before he could come up with a proper solution, the Xianbei in the central region, led by several leaders, gave up resistance, took the initiative to bow to Ao Lie, and expressed his willingness to obey Ao Lie's arrangements and move to the mainland to live. This prompted the Xianbei people in the central region to make this decision. There were two reasons. First, Ao Lie's courage and wisdom made the warlike Xianbei people feel deeply afraid, and they believe that they are not Ao Lie's opponents; second, after hearing Ao Lie's attitude towards Xianbei prisoners, they knew that Ao Lie would not kill them, so they no longer had the biggest concern. Compared with the desolate grasslands and the prosperous Han prefectures, they of course prefer to move to the mainland to live.

The surrender of the Xianbei in the central region made Ao Lie feel relieved and even more distressed. He could not think of any good way to resettle the 150,000 Xianbei people alone, and now the population of the Xianbei in the central region has increased. What should I do?

Just as Ao Lie was thinking hard, Sun Shangxiang came. Sun Jian's death was covered by Ao Lie strictly. She didn't hear any wind at all, and she was still as happy as usual. Seeing Ao Lie's frowning face, Sun Shangxiang pouted and asked, "What's wrong? Her face is so bad. Sister Yan'er and Sister Mi'er asked me to come over and tell you that they made a table of delicious food and were waiting for you to have a meal together."

When he saw Sun Shangxiang, Ao Lie immediately threw all his worries behind his head, stretched out his hand to pull Sun Shangxiang's tenderness, pulled Sun Shangxiang into his arms, and let her sit down on his thighs. Since he confirmed his status with Sun Shangxiang and Zhen Mi, Ao Lie has become less gentle and often teased the two girls a little. At the beginning, the two girls were coquettish, but later they gradually got used to it. Zhen Mi occasionally blushed, but Sun Shangxiang, the female overlord, is very relaxed, and she can't escape anyway. Sooner or later, they are all Ao Lie's women. What's the difference between being earlier and later?

He sat down on Ao Lie's thigh obediently. Sun Shangxiang showed a rare look of pity and said softly: "You haven't had a meal with our three sisters for a long time. To be honest, we all miss you very much, but we also know that you are busy with things and it's not easy to disturb you."

Ao Lie put his big hands on Sun Shangxiang's "qiaotun" in a casual manner, but he pretended to be surprised and said in surprise: "Huh? When did the dignified female overlord become so gentle? Did you read it wrong? In fact, you are not Shangxiang, you are Yan'er or Mi'er pretending to be in makeup?"

Sun Shangxiang raised his hand and twisted Ao Lie's ear gently. The female overlord's aura gradually showed a tendency to raise his head: "What? Only two sisters are allowed to be gentle and lovely, can't I be gentle? Be happy, do you want to have a meal with us?" At the same time, Sun Shangxiang also stretched out his other hand and slapped off the pair of magic claws pressed on his "qiotun".

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, let's go to have a meal." Ao Lie pretended to surrender and begged Sun Shangxiang for mercy. Sun Shangxiang smiled happily, took Ao Lie's arm, and pulled him to the backyard. While walking, Sun Shangxiang also told Ao Lie one by one the interesting things that happened around him. In Sun Shangxiang's heart, it was really a happy thing to be able to share the little secrets in his heart with his beloved man.

"Do you know? Aunt Wang in the north of the city is so pitiful. He has five sons, but none of them are around. The five sons live in five different places. It is rare to come back to Yanjing to visit Aunt Wang. However, Aunt Wang is really good at teaching his children. I heard that her five sons are very harmonious with each other, and at the end of the year, they will come back together to celebrate the New Year with Aunt Wang..." Sun Shangxiang said in detail the trivial things that happened around her in detail.

Ao Lie interrupted strangely and asked, "How did Aunt Wang make these five sons obedient?" Sun Shangxiang smiled quietly and said, "Actually, it's nothing to say. Aunt Wang had set rules when he was young. If anyone provokes conflicts between brothers, don't recognize Aunt Wang as his mother. I heard that this is the family rules passed down by Aunt Wang's ancestors."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Ao Lie listened to Aunt Wang’s story in his ears, but he was thinking about the affairs of the Xianbei people in his heart. The two things gradually overlapped in Ao Lie’s heart, and a clear context appeared in Ao Lie’s mind. Now, Ao Lie is like Aunt Wang. The Han people and Xianbei people under his rule are equivalent to Aunt Wang’s five sons. The most important thing between brothers is to have the same roots and origins, so that they can be called brothers.

If Ao Lie eliminated the title of Xianbei and made the Xianbei people regarded themselves as Han people, this would not only allow the Xianbei people to quickly integrate into the Han people, but also retain the dignity of the Han people in terms of face, and maximize the resolution of the conflicts between the two tribes and turn the people of the two tribes into brothers with the same roots. After that, Ao Lie made a death rule that he would be willing to eliminate the title of Xianbei and those who joined the Han people would receive the same treatment as the Han people. If there were any extreme Han people who made things difficult for them, it would be that he would openly despise Ao Lie's laws. At that time, there would be relevant laws to punish them. After completing the integration, the 150,000 Xianbei people in the city were dispersed and dispersed to the territory of Youbian.

If various counties live, there will be no riots, and it will be more conducive to ethnic integration. As for the Xianbei people who are still on the grassland, Ao Lie decided to let them automatically remove the title of Xianbei people and change it to Han people. At that time, Ao Lie will arrange personnel to reclaim land on the grassland. While guiding the Chinese Xianbei people to farm, they will build cities on the grassland so that those who stay on the grassland can live better. Winning the sincere surrender of these left-behind personnel will be equivalent to opening up a huge private land behind him, where the land is fertile and fertile, and Ao Lie will not have to worry about food and salary in the future.

As for whether the Xianbei people were willing to revoke the title of Xianbei, Ao Lie didn't even think about it. Nomadic peoples, especially the Xianbei people, have always regarded the strong as the most respected, and their culture inheritance is far less important than the Han people. If Ao Lie is stronger than them, they will definitely obey Ao Lie's orders. At the same time, in their hearts, they also yearn for the life of the Han people and give them a chance to join the Han family. Ao Lie believes that they will not refuse.

Of course, these ideas are just a general idea. For specific operation matters, Ao Lie also needs to conduct detailed consultations with Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and others. Try to solve the problems of the Xianbei people as perfect as possible. Moreover, what Ao Lie wants is a solution that once and for all. With Yuan Shu's usurpation and becoming emperor, the actions of the princes in various places are getting bigger and bigger. Ao Lie feels that the form is more and more critical. He can no longer be managed slowly and resolved the problem of the sinicization of the Xianbei people as soon as possible. Ao Lie still has a lot of things to do, the development of Fuyu oil field, the development of new naval warships, Li Jue and Guo Si, who are unstoppable in the Western Liang thieves, etc., all need to be solved one by one in the shortest time.

After his thoughts became clear, Ao Lie smiled and kissed Sun Shangxiang on the cheek, and praised sincerely: "It's really a beautiful wife in the family, what else can my husband ask for..."
