This reflects Cao Liang's attitude. In fact, Cao Liang has always been exterminated against the nomadic peoples in the north. The main reason is that the Hu people in the north have a great threat to the Central Plains dynasty and have destroyed the Central Plains dynasty several times. Therefore, during Cao Liang's lifetime, he has always been a heavy blow to the Hu people in the north and will never give them any chance to breathe.

But Cao Liang had another attitude towards the barbarians in the southwest. After all, looking at the entire five thousand years of history, although the barbarians in the southwest have been repeatedly separatist, they have never threatened the rule of the Central Plains dynasty. Naturally, there is no need to kill all the harmless barbarians.

As long as they are willing to surrender to the central government, do not provoke rebellion, and accept the Central Plains farming culture, Cao Liang will allow them to exist.

The southwest region is mountainous and densely covered with jungles, and the terrain is far more complex than the grasslands outside the border. Therefore, although the power of the southwest barbarians is not as powerful as that of the northern Hu people, the difficulty of conquest is ten times higher than that of the northern Hu people.

There were few successful people in the expeditions of the southwestern barbarians in all dynasties. The most important reason why Zhuge Liang was able to succeed was that Zhuge Liang adopted a method that focused on slaughter and used both suppression and pacification. For the barbarian king Meng Huo, he captured seven times and conquered his heart, so that he could pacify the Southern Central.

If Zhuge Liang used violent and tough measures to capture Meng Huo and kill him directly, although it seemed to be happy, he had formed an incomprehensible hatred with the barbarians. If Meng Huo died, it did not mean that the barbarians would be destroyed. Perhaps Zhang Huo Li Huo would stand up and continue to fight against the Shu army, and the Shu army would be deeply trapped in the mud of the southern middle and could not extricate themselves.

Zhuge Liang's success also gave Cao Liang many tips, so this time the Right Army marched into Nanzhong, Cao Liang repeatedly emphasized to Yang Hu in his letter that he should spare no effort to attack the Shu army in Nanzhong, but he should use different means to deal with the barbarians in Nanzhong, and focus on peace and comfort. If he could not start a war, he should try not to start a war.

Even if the Yi people joined the ranks of the Shu army and insisted on fighting with the Wei army, they should treat them differently and be reasonable, beneficial and concise.

It is reasonable to maintain restraint and not take the initiative first. Only after being attacked by the barbarians can the counterattack be carried out.

The advantage is that the counterattack must be carried out under the advantage, either without fighting, and if you want to fight, you must win, and defeat the arrogance of the barbarians, so that they may return to the negotiating table.

The right thing is to stop the counterattack, and you must not only hurt the enemy, but also not to hurt the vital points, so as not to form deeper bonds between the two sides. This grudge should be resolved rather than to make a bond. To solve the problem of barbarians in the southwest, you must eventually return to the path of comforting the people.

At first, Yang Hu was a little confused when he saw Cao Liang's six-character policy. Cao Liang's policy was equivalent to putting a tight curse on him. It is reasonable and beneficial, but also concise. The control of the situation must be done in place, so this battle is really not easy to fight.

However, after careful consideration, Yang Hu couldn't help but sigh at Cao Liang's cleverness. War is not just iron-blooded killing, but sometimes it is also an art. Isn't Cao Liang's rational, beneficial and concise strategy an art of war?

So in the plan to deploy the march to Nanzhong, Yang Hu naturally implemented Cao Liang's instructions without fail, and attacked the Shu army in Nanzhong with no effort, but treated the barbarians in Nanzhong differently and maintained a restrained attitude.

However, the development of the situation still exceeded Yang Hu's expectations. He originally thought that the Wei army and the barbarians could not violate the rivers, but in the end this idea was shattered. It seemed that the barbarians in the south finally stood on the side of the Shu army.

When Zhang Zheng led the infantry battalion and Changshui battalion to attack Wei County, the barbarians in the south all formed a large army of 100,000, and attacked Dianchi Lake and Bengu at the same time, and cut off the road between Dianchi Lake and Wei County and Bengu and Dianchi Lake. It was fierce and unstoppable.

Obviously, the barbarians had planned this action, and Yang Hu even believed that they had reached a tacit understanding with the Shu army.

The Dianchi Lake and Bengu, which the Yi people attacked this time, were also two key places of the Wei army. Wei County was surrounded by the Wei army, and the situation was dangerous. However, the Yi people did not go directly to rescue Wei County, but instead adopted the strategy of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao. In Yang Hu's opinion, these Yi people were quite strategic, at least not like the kind of reckless and rude people who eat raw meat and drink blood in the legend.

The Yi people did not go directly to rescue Wei County, which means they still understand the situation. Not only did Wei County gather the two most elite infantry battalions of the Wei Army, but also two cavalry battalions wandering on the left and right wings of Wei County. Yang Hu arranged this to prevent reinforcements from moving closer to Wei County. As long as there are Xiaoqi camps and Guoqi camps, no matter whether it is Yi soldiers or other soldiers, they should not get close to Wei County.

The Yi people seemed to know this, so they did not go to Wei County, but selected Dianchi, the garrison of the governor of the Right Army, and Bengu, the Wei army's grain storage place, to siege them all, and siege them all.

Both of these points are extremely important. As long as the Wei army is broken by the Yi army, the entire war situation in Nanzhong will collapse and be difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Yang Hu was stationed in Dianchi Lake. At this moment, the army in his hands was only 9,000 people from the Governor's headquarters, and although the Governor's headquarters also had about 5,000 people, most of them were non-combatants and only two thousand combat troops. Therefore, at this moment, there were only about 11,000 troops stationed in Dianchi Lake.

Faced with about 50,000 Yi soldiers, the Wei army was completely at a disadvantage, but when Yang Hu heard the news of the Yi soldiers attacking, he looked calm and calm.

After all, according to previous military chess deductions, the result was completely expected by Yang Hu, so there was nothing to be surprised about this.

Although the Wei army in Dianchi Lake had only more than 10,000 troops, after entering Dianchi Lake, Yang Hu had ordered the backbone to strengthen its defense. With the defensive power of the Wei army, it would be no easy task for 50,000 barbarians to capture Dianchi Lake.

In fact, Meng Li gathered 100,000 barbarians but adopted the strategy of dividing troops into two groups, which was his biggest defeat.

Bengu was the place where the Wei army was hoarding grain and the key point of defense. In the Bengu area alone, 30,000 Wei troops were concentrated, and on the periphery of Bengu, the Wei army set up multiple defensive positions. It was simply a delusional idea to break through the Wei army's defense line.
