I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

When Gongsun Zan saw Wei Chu again, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Chu is too young.

He has achieved what he has achieved today, and his future prospects are absolutely limitless.

"General Gongsun, I'm glad you made a wise choice and avoided the destruction of Youzhou."

After hearing Wei Chu's words, Gongsun Zan pretended to be calm and smiled.

"I actually never thought about betraying the Han Dynasty. The relationship between Liu Yu and I was just a personal grudge. As Liu Yu was killed by me not long ago, the personal grudge between Liu Yu and I was eliminated."

Gongsun Zan is a smart man.

Since he decided to defect to Wei Chu, Gongsun Zan was willing to take the blame for killing Liu Yu.

When Wei Chu nodded, Gongsun Zan continued: "General Wei, do you know why there is a personal grudge between me and Liu Yu?"

Wei Chu smiled and poured Gongsun Zan a glass of wine.

"I have heard that the personal grudge between you and Liu Yu initially focused on your attitude towards foreigners. You advocated taking tough measures against foreigners, while Liu Yu advocated using a soft policy towards foreigners. "

Gongsun Zan picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then asked: "I want to know, what is General Wei's attitude towards the foreigners outside the Great Wall?"

"My attitude towards the Northern Huns represents my attitude towards foreigners."

Wei Chu's words shocked Gongsun Zan.

"Is General Wei planning to massacre all the foreigners outside the Great Wall, leaving no one alive? To carry out brutal genocide against both the Wuhuan and Xianbei people?"

After Wei Chu listened to Gongsun Zan's words, he smiled and shook his head.

"Back then, I led the Eighteen Cavalry of the Tiandao Guards deep into the hinterland of the Northern Huns. The main purpose of massacring the Northern Huns was to kill chickens in waiting, to re-highlight the glory of the Han Dynasty, and to let the foreigners know that even if the Han Dynasty fell into weakness due to internal fighting, , and it is not something that foreigners can easily provoke."

"The environment is different now. When dealing with the Wuhuan and Xianbei people in the north, there is no need to exterminate them all. Because it will not be beneficial to us."

"Why is there no benefit in doing this?"

Gongsun Zan frowned and said: "Kill all the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and the territory of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people will belong to us Han people."

Wei Chu waved his hand to Gongsun Zan.

"The territory of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people belongs to us. What substantial benefits can it bring to us? After a long period of civil strife in the Han Dynasty, the population has dropped sharply."

"We killed all the Xianbei and Wuhuan people and occupied the territories of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. How many people can you successfully mobilize to herd cattle and sheep on the land of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people?"

Gongsun Zan opened his mouth, intending to defend himself, but when the words finally came to his lips, Gongsun Zan didn't know how to defend himself.

After a while, Gongsun Zan asked Wei Chu: "What is General Wei's strategy?"

"First, we need to defeat the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and kill them until the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are frightened and have to surrender."

"After the Wuhuan and Xianbei people surrender, I will turn the Wuhuan and Xianbei people into my slaves and let them help us herd cattle and sheep."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but interrupt Wei Chu.

"General Wei, the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are difficult to tame. Letting them help us herd cattle and sheep is equivalent to giving them a chance to breathe. When they become stronger again, they will definitely cause us trouble again. "

Wei Chu waved his hand to Gongsun Zan, sneered and said: "It is actually not difficult to prevent the phenomenon you mentioned from happening."

"After the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are captured by the Han army and choose to surrender, we have to do several things. First, control the population of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people."

"The Xianbei and Wuhuan people will herd cattle and sheep for us. Each ethnic group can keep 10 people. The excess people will be killed. They will be killed every three years. The population of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people will never exceed 10 people.”

Wei Chu's words made Gongsun Zan raise his eyebrows.

There is no doubt that Wei Chu's approach is a bit cruel.

But this is in line with Gongsun Zan's wishes.

Gongsun Zan was not a good man or a believer in women.

The reputation of General White Horse comes from fighting.

"Second, collect the iron tools of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. No iron tools will be left to the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. Let them return to the Stone Age life. At the same time, collect strong war horses and give them only to the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. The Huan people left some old horses behind."

"Without iron weapons and war horses, even if the Xianbei and Wuhuan people are brave and good at fighting, they will become toothless beasts."

"Finally, destroy the existing beliefs and culture of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. Instill in them the belief that they will serve the Han from generation to generation."

"In the end, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people became a group of people who had no faith and culture and lived only for life for generations."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, Gongsun Zan was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

Reduce the population of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, destroy their cavalry, take away their war horses, and destroy their beliefs and culture.

When the Xianbei and Wuhuan people regressed to primitive society, with only 10 people, they could no longer threaten the safety of the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Zan looked at Wei Chu intently again.

By this time, Gongsun Zan began to feel a little lucky that he chose to defect to Wei Chu.

Because Gongsun Zan discovered that Wei Chu was much more ruthless than he thought.

Wei Chu looks young and has a gentle personality. But he is very sophisticated and ruthless in what he does.

After taking another sip of wine, Gongsun Zan finally asked: "I am confident that I will lead the troops to defeat the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu and Sanhan people. But a foreign war will definitely consume a lot of time, and the materials that need to be consumed will definitely not be enough." few."

"General Wei promised to provide me with supplies. I want to know where did General Wei get his supplies?"

Wei Chu did not answer Gongsun Zan's question directly, but asked Gongsun Zan: "General Gongsun feels that if more than half of the aristocratic families in Youzhou choose to lend their money to help, will their wealth be enough to support a long-term external military campaign. "

Gongsun Zan nodded to Wei Chu without even thinking about it.

"Aristocratic families don't have the world in their eyes, only their own interests, so most aristocratic families have accumulated massive wealth."

"Although Youzhou is poor, more than half of the aristocratic families can support my army for at least three years if they choose to help."

"It's just that it's not an easy task for aristocratic families to take out their wealth."

Wei Chu stood up with a smile.

"If we want them to help us willingly, they will naturally not be willing, but if they are not willing, we can take it hard."
