The person Gongsun Sheng refers to was nothing else, but Wu Xin, who had just conquered the Xianbei of Duan in western Liaoning.

At this time, Wu Xin's credit was already obtained, but the specific reward has not been finalized.

This time, the entire Han army, including Liu Yu, thought that the Han army led by Wu Xin could win, but he did not expect that it would win so easily.

Moreover, after defeating the Duan Xianbei, the main general Wu Xin's subsequent disposal was very appropriate and there was no trouble again.

The Duan tribe Xianbei, which originally occupied western Liaoning, basically retained its own tribes, but the refugees who were originally dependent on them and the local Han people were all taken to the capital under the control of Liaoxi County.

The Duanbu Xianbei, who was once the winner of the "Eight Kings Rebellion", was easily defeated.

In order to prevent the recurrence of Duan Xianbei in the future, Duan Ji and Lu Juan, the former Duan Xianbei, were summoned by Liu Yu to the court and gave him a free job as a general. All the members of Duan Xianbei were slandered by Duan Piqi, Duan Mo was commanded by Duan Wenyang and others, and were all under the surveillance of the Han army.

"Well, Wu Xin is not only capable of commanding the army, but also has a strong ability to govern the country."

Liu Yu said immediately.

At this time, although there were two counties in Dongping Prefecture, Lelang and Dianfang were gathering places for Han people, the number of other Yi people such as Wu and Woju still had the advantage.

Among these barbarians in Dongpingzhou, there were both "hawks" that depended on the Han army, and also "prey" that were captured.

How to handle these complex relationships really requires a person who is both military and political.

Moreover, Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongpingzhou, has been operating in Liaodong and has been operating in the North Korea area for nearly ten years. Especially in recent years, with the help of Liu Yu's support, the two counties in Lelang and the two counties have increased significantly, and their influence on the powerful counties has reached the greatest extent.

In this case, Liu Yu had to let Zhang Tong move his position, otherwise, the two counties hanging in the east of the Lelang belt are likely to become the world of Zhang Tong.

"Wu Xin's talent can fulfill the responsibilities of Zhang Tong and Ran Long, and the affairs of Dongpingzhou can be entrusted to them."

After some agreement, Liu Yu quickly sent an envoy to go to western Liaoning to summon Wu Xin back to the capital.

As for the main leader of this matter, Wu Xin himself did not think that he could become a Fang Bo in a state.

It’s not that Wu Xin has doubts about his ability, but that compared with other Dong Ping, Wang Zan and others, he is neither Liu Yu’s hometown background nor a child of aristocratic families.

Even if he was asked to guard a state, he would have no rules to recruit those subordinates.

In today's Han Dynasty, although the channels for poor families to take office have increased significantly, many of them are the grassroots officials. The subordinates of the governor of a state are all relatively high-level officials. Without a certain prestige, it is difficult to recruit suitable personnel.

When Liu Yu's envoy came to western Liaoning and conveyed the order to Wu Xin.

He immediately fell into this dilemma.

Some generals and others next to Wu Xin congratulated him one after another.

‘Dongpingzhou is far away from the east of the sea. It is a remote place and there are many barbarians. In this way, no one is willing to be conquered.’

"If you can't find a helper, it's still a trivial matter. If your Majesty's big matter is delayed, it will be something that Wu Xin dare not bear."

The messenger who came to pass the order was also an acquaintance of Wu Xin.

Wu Xin simply confides his doubts to him.

"Haha, General Wu doesn't have to worry. I heard that Dongping Prefecture is not as good as other prefectures and counties, and there are not many officials at all."

“Why?”

"Because I heard that Your Majesty does not plan to leave many barbarians in Dongpingzhou."

"Don't leave the barbarians? What should we do?"

"Hey, the general should know about this. He either caught him and cultivated the military soldiers, or killed him."

"Ah? Dongpingzhou is thousands of miles in a radius, and I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people. How can I kill it?" Wu Xin said.

"This matter is not something I can think about. Anyway, I heard from them that Your Majesty once said that except for a few particularly obedient tribes of the barbarians, the rest were left behind by the land and all the barbarians were cleaned up."

"Hiss!" Wu Xin took a breath unconsciously when he heard this.

If this is true, even if he becomes the governor of Dongpingzhou, he will not need too many subordinates. The original Lelang and two counties are enough.

Because there is no need to rule the barbarians, just pure conquest.

Sure enough, Wu Xin returned to the capital and immediately confirmed this after seeing Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't we educate the barbarians in Dongpingzhou to use it for our dynasty?"

"If such a strategy is really implemented, I am afraid that there will be no more barbarians in the entire Dongping Prefecture in a few years. At that time, I am afraid that Lelang and the two counties will not have too many people, but they will only get a piece of white land."

After learning about Liu Yu's so-called strategy of "staying the land and leaving people", Wu Xin immediately expressed his doubts.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of the whole world has dropped sharply. Even when Emperor Wu of Jin unified Jiangdong, there was still a lack of manpower in the north.

Under such circumstances, although various border prefectures and counties had various oppositions on the policy of recruiting Rongdi for their own use, they still could not stop the lack of labor.

What's more, in remote places like Dongpingzhou, the most commonly used method in the past was to conquer both land and population at the same time. Otherwise, if you only obtain land, without human resources to develop it, it would definitely be a loss-making transaction.

"Although the barbarians in Dongpingzhou are poor and weak, they are after all the barbarians' habits. Even if they are treated with grace and power, they may be difficult in the future, and they will definitely be repeated."

"If you are not a person of my race, your heart will be different!"

"So, Bocheng, your main task is to make the two counties of Dafang and Lelang become a military place where everyone is soldiers, and then use the people of Baekje as the minions of hawks and dogs to slowly clear the entire Dongpingzhou Peninsula."

Although Liu Yu said it very peacefully, there was unquestionable firmness in it.

This kind of "plowing the temple and sweeping holes" style conquest did not even think about educating the barbarians.

Because Liu Yu knew that the location of Dongpingzhou was really important.

Not to mention the Murong Xianbei at this time, it was the Goguryeo, Bohai, Jurchen and Jianzhou in history that all started their business in the north.

Liu Yu was not prepared to eliminate the Murong Xianbei who was becoming stronger and stronger in Liaodong.

But he had to be prepared in advance. Liu Yu had no hope for the five scumbags on the Dongpingzhou Peninsula.

So it is better to clean Dongpingzhou directly. Once Murong Xianbei or other new threats appear in Liaodong in the future, you can cooperate with the Youzhou direction to attack on both sides.

Anyway, Liu Yu's maritime naval force was already the only one at this time, and the entire Bohai Sea and north of the East China Sea became its own swimming pool.

In this case, as long as Dongpingzhou has no internal troubles, even if the threat from Liaodong is great, the two sides can fully grasp the situation when they support each other.

After understanding Liu Yu's meaning, Wu Xin immediately agreed.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely eliminate all the barbarians of all tribes. It may take less than three years to get rid of the fishy smell!"

Liu Yu nodded. For those small tribes in the mountains of Dongpingzhou, not to mention the Han army mainly composed of excellent armored infantry and cavalry, even Goguryeo, which was an experience-packed company in Liaodong, was an existence that they could not resist.

Therefore, Liu Yu is quite confident about Wu Xin's words.

In at least three years, even if you don’t know all the people in Dongpingzhou, it will not be too difficult to destroy those larger tribes.

"Your Majesty, but I still have some worries, I'm afraid there is some trouble." Wu Xin said again.

"What are you worried about?" Liu Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, you will naturally have a lot of experiences when you go to western Liaoning. Among them, the Xianbei people in Lingzhi said that the Liaodong area has become colder and colder in recent years, and there are also constant famines. Many tribes are gradually migrating south, and many have defected to Goguryeo, Murong and others."

Wu Xin continued to say.

"And many tribes seem to continue to migrate south. In this way, I am afraid that a group of barbarians will be cleaned up, but new barbarians will be filled in."

"If this happens, you will get half the result with twice the effort."

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in praise.

"It's right!"

"However, I have already thought of this. There is not any support when I go to Dongpingzhou."

"Didn't you conquered a lot of Dingkou in western Liaoning this time? Then half of them moved to Dongpingzhou."

"In this way, there are at least 5,000 households. Although the population of 5,000 households is not very large, it should be possible to station a fortress in the south of Gaimashan in the northeast of Dongping Prefecture to prevent the barbarians from heading south to settle down."

When Wu Xin heard this, he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, the number of people and strong families in western Liaoning has been obtained is only more than 10,000. If half of them are separated, how can they operate the Liaoxi County?"

"What's more, these Ding Zhuang have been farming in western Liaoning for a long time. Apart from farming, they don't practice martial arts at all. I'm afraid they won't be able to use it when they go to Dongpingzhou."

Liu Yu also felt that it was nothing difficult for these two issues.

"In addition to a few important cities in western Liaoning, I have planned to stop farming. Anyway, there is no shortage of land now. I can't plant the entire Youzhou Continent, so why go to Liaoxi County to farm?"

Liu Yu originally planned to gradually force the Duan tribe to squeeze the Murong Xianbei eastward after subduing the Duan tribe. This would inevitably cause dissatisfaction or even resistance among some people in the Duan tribe's Xianbei.

Therefore, Liu Yu intends to weaken the output of Liaoxi County to prevent Duan Xianbei from easily obtaining a large amount of materials when it recurs.

As long as the Han army firmly occupied those important cities in western Liaoning, it would be enough to slowly wait for reinforcements in Youzhou Pass.

What if the Duan Xianbei is obedient and honestly devotes himself to fighting with Murong Xianbei?

If this is true, Liu Yu would probably wake up laughing in his dream.

If Duan tribe and Murong tribe really fight each other desperately, it would be absolutely impossible to decide the outcome if tens of thousands of strong men were killed.

So, although the Duan Xianbei surrenders now, when Liu Yu slowly forces them in the future, he will definitely continue to resist.

"As for the things you mentioned about the lack of military preparations for the people of Liaoxi, it is naturally easy to deal with."

"All of them are people with hands and feet. Since they can do farm work, it should be absolutely OK to learn to fight and kill the enemy." Liu Yu said.

Wu Xin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Your Majesty, if these people arrive in Dongpingzhou, they will not only have to farm but also practice the battle formation, which will probably be difficult to deal with."

"Plowing? What to farm? I asked them to go to Dongpingzhou. That would be to expel the barbarians, prepare for the frontiers, and farming. It would be better to leave the barbarians who were captured."
