I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Lou Ban bent down and said respectfully,
"From now on, our Wuhuan tribe will submit to Huaxia, and we will never dare to betray!"

"Get up."

Cao Mao showed a satisfied smile, walked slowly to Lou Ban, and said softly,

"If you are sincerely loyal to China, I will naturally protect your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

"But if there are any more unruly intentions, be careful to end up like Tadun!"

He said, and gave Lou Ban a meaningful look.

Thinking of Tadun who died tragically in the plague, Lou Ban's heart trembled, and he said respectfully,
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will never commit any act of betrayal!"

"That's good!"

Cao Mao laughed and stood up, walking towards the barracks.

Everyone also followed behind him.

Considering that the Wuhuan people have lived in Youzhou for a long time, it would be too inhumane to drive them back.

After discussing with Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Chou and others, Cao Mao decided to let the Wuhuan tribe headed by Lou Ban continue to live in the three counties.

But like the previous Huns, they had to obey the orders of the court, accept the officials sent by Cao Mao, and learn Han culture.

Although Lou Ban showed great respect, Cao Mao also knew that people who were not of my race would have different hearts.

They must be assimilated before the situation in Youzhou can be completely stabilized!
In addition, the Wuhuan tribe will dispatch [-] elite fighters to be dispatched by the imperial court.

Excellent war horses, as well as cattle and sheep must be handed in on time every year.

Facing a series of harsh conditions, no matter how reluctant Lou Ban was, he could only admit it with his nose held.

And Cao Mao here.

He established the post of Captain of Wuhuan, which was held by Yan Rou, who was responsible for managing Wuhuan and guarding against another Hu tribe outside the country, the Xianbei people.

Tian Yu served as governor of Youzhou, and was assisted by Xian Yufu, Tian Chou and others.

in the tent.

Cao Mao looked around at the crowd and said softly,

"The counties of Youzhou have all been pacified, but there are still Xuantu County, Lelang County, and Liaodong County that have not yet been recovered. Do you have any opinions?"

"My lord, what else is there to say?"

Gan Ning, who was aggressive at the side, was the first to speak, and laughed nonchalantly,

"If Gongsun Du doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, it's over with him!"

"That's right!"

"He, Gongsun Du, is a Hanchen. If you really want to die, let him do it!"

Others also responded one after another.

After raiding Liucheng and successfully conquering Wuhuan, Cao Mao's subordinates are now all highly motivated, and they can't wait to kill Gongsun Du in one go!

Cao Mao smiled slightly, looked at Pang Tong, Jia Xu and the others beside him,
"What's your opinion?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said,
"My opinion is different from most generals. I think we can do nothing, or try not to do it."

"That's right, the army has been fighting continuously for more than half a year since they launched an attack on Yuan Shang, and they are exhausted."

Xu You sighed slightly.

"Besides, Liaodong is far away, supplies are difficult, and we are not familiar with the terrain."

"If you go into battle rashly, I'm afraid you will be defeated."

Unlike generals such as Gan Ning, Cao Mao's advisers did not agree to attack Liaodong County.

After hearing what they said, Gan Ning couldn't sit still, and said unhappily,
"My lord, that Gongsun Du proclaimed himself a marquis in Liaodong, and rewarded him with official positions. He even set up an altar to worship the heaven and the earth. He travels in accordance with the etiquette of the emperor!"

"If you don't attack such an unfaithful and unrighteous thief, what will the people of the world think of him?"

For a while, the advisers and generals were arguing endlessly.

Cao Mao looked at Pang Tong who hadn't spoken for a long time, and said with a chuckle,
"Why didn't the military division say a word?"

Pang Tong cupped his hands,

"Reporting to my lord, I am thinking."

"What General Xingba said is indeed reasonable. If you don't attack Gongsun Du, I'm afraid other princes will be ready to move."

"And sooner or later we will go south to conquer Jingzhou and Jiangdong."

"At that time, what if Gongsun Du sent troops to attack us from north to south with them?"

Gan Ning was overjoyed, he grinned and said,

"Mr. Pang, you are really thoughtful!"

But Pang Tong didn't answer him, instead he shook his head and said,

"But this subordinate thinks about it again, and what Wen He and Zi Yuan said makes sense."

"We still need to be more cautious about conquering Liaodong."

The crowd burst into tears.

"Military division, it's the same as if you didn't say anything."

"You are really good at fighting mud!"

Faced with their complaints and dissatisfaction, Pang Tong was not angry, but said with a smile,
"So I was thinking, is there a surefire way to get Gongsun Du to submit obediently without sending troops?"

"My lord, you might as well write a letter to Gongsun Du and order him to come and have an audience."

"As long as he has a little bit of brains, he will take the initiative to come and show his surrender to the lord."

Ma Chao on the side curled his lips, his face full of disbelief,
"Then Gongsundu is happy and happy in Liaodong, how can he obediently come over to see him just because of a letter from the lord?"

Pang Tong shook his head and explained,
"The reason why Gongsun Du was able to dominate Liaodong was because the Wuhuan people blocked the road from Liaodong to the Central Plains."

"Now that Wuhuan has surrendered, his Gongsundu only owns three counties, so what qualifications do he have to challenge the lord?"

With his explanation, everyone had a convinced expression on their faces, and they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Pang Tong's strategy is similar to Guo Jia's plan to set up Liaodong in history.

So Cao Mao didn't hesitate, he nodded and said,
"Then follow what the military advisor said, and send a letter to Gongsun Du."

……

Liaodong County.

The government office is Xiangping.

In the majestic prefect's mansion, the atmosphere is a little tense at the moment.

An old man who is very old but has extremely sharp eyes looked at everyone in the hall and said in an old voice,
"You have read the letter from Cao Mao, what's your opinion?"

"Father, what nonsense is there to talk about with Cao Mao? Let's dominate Liaodong, why go to see him?"

"That's right, if he has the ability, just let him go!"

The two men on the left and right under the hall said sharply.

The old man was Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, and the two men who looked similar to him were his two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong.

After hearing the words of the two sons, Gongsun Du frowned, ignored them, and looked at the two literati in the hall.

"What do Mr. Yanfang and Mr. Bofang think?"

The person called Mr. Yanfang was a literati with full hair. His name was Wang Lie, and he was a student of Chen Shi, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Wang Lie was quite famous in Liaodong, so he was recruited by Gongsun Du.

The other person is Liang Mao, who was originally the prefect of Taishan County and has made great achievements in his career.

Later, he was transferred to Lelang County as the prefect, but because Gongsun Du admired his talent, he was detained halfway.

Facing Gongsun Du's inquiry, Wang Lie looked calm and said softly,
"If my lord doesn't go...you will die!"
