Murong Huang did not delay and sent his younger brother to Luoyang as a hostage without delay.

The symbolic meaning of this hostage is actually greater than the actual meaning.

Especially for Murong Huang.

He took this opportunity to promote the importance of being a vassal state of the Great Han Dynasty among the countries in the Western Regions.

Let the surrounding small countries such as Kucha dare not speak out about Murong Huang's oppression.

These small countries in the Western Regions all seek asylum from the Wusun Kingdom.

Liu Yu, who was far away in Luoyang, did not know about these changes that took place far away in the Western Regions.

Luoyang.

In the palace.

After receiving feedback from the Western Regions, Liu Yu felt a little disappointed when Murong Huang was so aware of him.

"Oh, if Murong Huang disobeys his orders, I will have a chance to deal with them." Liu Yu sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and it seems that there is no worse than getting more than getting more battles." Gongsun Sheng next to him said with a smile.

They all know that there has been accumulating slowly in the Han Dynasty's treasury.

After a while, you will get some rewards from the results of rest and recuperation.

In this case, Gongsun Sheng and others planned to expand the naval army first, then go south to annex the remnant Jin, and unify the world.

"Murong Yong occupied Cheshi, and the journey was long. If Wuming came out of the army, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou might not be willing to fight to the death." Gongsun Sheng advised.

"Okay, then just do it like this, let's shake the Murong Huang's affairs first."

Liu Yu said helplessly.

He picked up a report from the table and said.

"I think there are several other things that are more important than things in the Western Regions."

"What is Your Majesty referring to?" Gongsun Sheng asked.

Xi Jian, Hua Xiu, Xun Sui and others next to them were also looking at Liu Yu.

"This is a report sent by Gou Xi from Ningzhou and Xun Song from Yizhou."

Liu Yu opened the memorial form and continued slowly.

"Gou Xi reported that the barbarian Piao Kingdom in the southwest of Ningzhou has conquered many Puli tribes, and its forces are almost in the Yongchang City of Ningzhou. It has the intention to further encroach on it. Gou Xi wants to conquer the Piao Kingdom."

When several people in the hall heard this, they all looked confused.

Xi Jian said first.

"Your Majesty, Gou Xi is cruel and arrogant and ambitious. I am worried that it is probably the excuse of the barbarians in various tribes who make trouble. What is really implemented is to seek independence."

Xi Jian's conjecture was immediately approved by everyone.

"Yes, Your Majesty, most of Gou Xi's subordinates are soldiers from the Di Qiang tribes. Even if they die, it will be beneficial to the Great Administration of Ningzhou." Hua Xiu also said.

"I also think that the more this time, the less we can give Gou Xi more military power, so that he can use his own Di Qiang to resist the barbarians of the Piao Kingdom. No matter who dies, it will be a good thing." Gongsun Sheng also agreed.

These people are quite afraid of Gou Xi.

Today, Ningzhou, which is the area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations, was originally a remote place.

The Di Qiang tribe led by Gou Xi stationed in Ningzhou, but did not have much power over the local scholars and people in Ningzhou.

The troops they can mobilize are the original soldiers and horses.

The Piao Kingdom, located in the southwest of Ningzhou, is roughly the area of ​​Burma in later generations.

These barbarians of the Piao Kingdom have always been very persistent in moving north to Ningzhou.

Since the Shu Han governed Nanzhong, the barbarians in the Piao Kingdom have not had many ideas about fighting ghosts.

However, because the Bai Pu and his relatives in the southwest were afraid of the strength of the Central Plains and did not dare to collude with the Piao Kingdom.

But in the past decade, there have been turmoil in the Central Plains and the Ningzhou area has been war-torn, which immediately gave the people of the Piao Kingdom an opportunity.

Liu Yu had long been mentally prepared for these people's thoughts.

"You still think that Gou Xi, a wolf-ambitious, has much more harm than a barbarian, right?"

When several people heard this, they didn't quite understand what Liu Yu meant.

I only heard Liu Yu continue to say.

"Although the Di Qiang tribes led by Gou Xi once had repeated rebellions in the northwest Yongzhou and Qinzhou, they were also very influenced by the Han edification. Especially compared with the barbarians of the Piao Kingdom, they were even more wise."

"Why did Your Majesty mean? Do you want to give Gou Xi more power and ask him to recruit troops in Ningzhou?" Xi Jian was a little disbelief.

You should know that the emperor of Ningzhou is far away. Once Gou Xi takes the opportunity to train troops and horses in the territory and then plunder some money and food, it is very likely that he will not fight against the barbarians of the Piao Kingdom, but will directly rebel in Ningzhou.

"The power given to Gou Xi is naturally to be given, but it cannot be simply recruiting troops in Ningzhou to recruit money and grain." Liu Yu said.

"Since Zhuge Wuhou's reign in the southern middle of the South, it means that if we want to stabilize these barbarian areas, it is difficult to achieve the same effect by using only the governance methods of prefectures and counties."

"This kind of place where barbarians and Han people are mixed together should give the Han people the advantage of leading barbarians, so that they can integrate with each other."

"Otherwise, if the Han people have no ruling status, the numerous barbarian tribes will gradually become centrifugal."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Xi Jian was even more puzzled.

"What your Majesty mean is to let Gou Xi?" Gongsun Sheng asked with a frown.

"I want to give Gou Xi, no, not only Gou Xi, but also the scholars and people of Ningzhou, all give them the power to conquer the barbarians in the southwest. As long as the land of the Piao Kingdom was conquered, I can give them titles and official positions according to the size of the land."

Liu Yu had long thought that it would be very unprofitable to deal with the barbarians in these wilderness lands.

The regular court soldiers consumed huge amounts of food and grass when they moved. If they came a few times and returned without success, it would be enough to cause an empire to lose its vitality.

If you want to deal with these poor barbarian tribes, you must adopt a step-by-step erosion strategy.

As long as you eat a piece of land, they will become their own territory.

The people on this land gradually became those who found their own positions in the sequence of the Han Empire.

"Granting the wild land to enfeoff power was a clever plan for Emperor Zhou to control the border. If Your Majesty uses this method, he will definitely not have any trouble with the Piao Kingdom in Ningzhou." Xun Sui agreed happily.

The other Xi Jian, Gongsun Sheng and others had no objection to the method proposed by Liu Yu.

After all, the land used to reward the titles must be snatched back with real swords and guns.

If it is not snatched back, it is total voluntary labor.

This method can mobilize the enthusiasm of the scholars and people in Ningzhou. While providing support to Gou Xi, there is no need to worry that Gou Xi takes the opportunity to pull them into trouble.

Gou Xi led them to defeat the people of Piao, but when distributing spoils, the most important land for titles was specially supervised by the court.
