The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 400 Attracting Barbarians
Wei Tao did not receive too much interference when Chengdu took over. In fact, the people of each family had already prepared in their hearts for the change of ownership in Chengdu, but this matter was nothing.

So Wei Tao finally took over the land of Xichuan from Liu Chan peacefully.

However, after taking over the entire Shu land, Wei Tao ordered some people from the border areas to move to Hanzhong. He was already sure that the Nanman would definitely attack.

But maybe Wei Tao's original intention has not changed, and everything is still to expel foreigners and protect the people of the big man from foreign enemies, but Wei Tao can understand that he will not have many opportunities to fight in person like this after all.

It's not that my prestige and achievements can't make my subordinates and advisers make concessions, but that as the lord of a country, I can't always put aside government affairs and spend time on such things.

In fact, the counselors under his command are quite critical of him being stranded in Sichuan and Sichuan, and because of this, the communication has not changed, and the government affairs cannot be handled in a timely manner. , I am afraid they are not just complaining secretly, but writing a letter to persuade them.

In this way, it is naturally even more impossible to agree with Wei Tao to go to the barbarian land. After all, where the miasma and hatred are, a single carelessness may put Wei Tao in great danger, and it is indeed not suitable for him to go.

Since it is impossible to go to the barbarians, it is only natural to let the barbarians come. Wei Tao is naturally ready to adopt the strategy bestowed by Zhuge Liang.

I am afraid that Zhuge Liang also considered his own temperament at that time, so he would think of such a conspiracy against him, using Chengdu as the bait and Wei Tao's own identity as the bait.

As long as the barbarian king Meng Huo really has the ambition to become king, he will definitely come here, and even if he loses his army here, Meng Huo will not give up easily. He will only send more messages to let all the barbarians The tribe's elites come here, as long as you kill them one by one, and then conspire with each other, it may not be impossible!

"How are things?"

However, a plan is a plan, and it is impossible for Wei Tao to ignore the people, so at this time, Wei Tao put the matter above the migration of the people. Lord, there are still many places where people can be resettled.

But even that is not easy.

"My Majesty, I'm afraid this is not the time to pay attention to this matter."

But at this time, Jiang Wei, who was sent to take charge of the matter, came to report.

"I heard that after Liu Bei's defeat, Jianning and other counties under the leadership of Gao Ding and others directly rebelled, announcing that they would break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty, and that Meng Huo even expressed support for him, saying that if he raised troops to congratulate him, and It still means that he wants to be with Yongjie, and if there is trouble, he will definitely help."

"Hmph! This is a conspiracy to occupy the magpie's nest, so Gao Ding and the others are not so stupid, are they?"

Wei Tao sneered, a barbarian is a barbarian, who doesn't know such a little thought.

"Your Majesty, Gao Ding and the others are indeed not that stupid, but they are also a bunch of idiots. Naturally, they didn't believe that Nanman was helping each other, but they thought that our army's strength is also very bad for Nanman. Under such circumstances, the Nanman people will restrain themselves, so although the Nanman people were not allowed to enter the city, they were allowed to stay in the city, or sent troops to reward them, and the result..."

At this time, Lu Xun also came to report, just in time to hear Wei Tao's question, and immediately replied with a wry smile.

"Now the Southwest has fallen into the hands of the Nanman, and what is even more worrying is that although the Nanman regards our Han people as slaves, it has never been a big event to kill, but to appease them. As long as he obeys and does not resist, he will survive, and his wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed."

"Hmph! What a barbarian king Meng Huo! Do you really think there are no heroes in the chaos of my Central Plains? How dare you covet my territory in the Central Plains!"

Wei Tao suddenly snorted coldly.

Perhaps it is more important that the state of Shu was forced by the state of Wei in history, but it took the method of submitting to the Nanman, and even because of this, it was seven arrests and seven attacks.

But for Wei Tao, who has already mastered the Central Plains, it is more appropriate to kill these Nanman one by one so as to appease the frontier.

"Then how are the people in Sichuan and Shu now?"

"Your Majesty, because we originally wanted to move the people to Hanzhong, we were prepared for everything. As long as there is an order, we can move inward quickly, so although many people were moved by that The Nanman captured them, but as long as they can escape, they will all be guaranteed. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Lu Xun quickly answered.

"According to my estimate, less than half of the victims are lost."

"That's good."

Slightly nodded, knowing that under such a sudden situation, half of the people could escape is already good, and immediately turned to ask about the Nanman.

"Is that Meng Huo leading the army this time? How many people from the Nanman came? And since the Nanman came to attack, do you really want to enter Chengdu?"

Wei Tao asked several questions in succession, and Lu Xun answered them one by one.

"To report to Your Majesty, Meng Huo led an army of [-], and there were more than [-] leaders of various tribes, large and small. After he took down those cities, his troops never stopped. meaning."

"Hmph! Sure enough!"

Lu Xun and the others knew what Wei Tao was thinking, so they didn't try to dissuade them too much. Wei Tao walked back and forth for two steps, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Pass me an order to order all the checkpoints leading to Chengdu to return to guard, and the other checkpoints are determined not to be released! At the same time, the policy of strengthening the wall and the wild is implemented, and the Nanman is absolutely not allowed to get a grain of food! In addition, strict investigations will be carried out. If at this time Anyone who dares to master the southern barbarians will be punished by the nine clans!"

"promise!"

Following Wei Tao's order, those Nanman found it very easy. If they went straight to Chengdu, it would be easy.

If the leader of the army at this time was a general from the Central Plains, he must have doubts in his heart, but now it is that Nanman, even the barbarian king Meng Huo, who is actually braver than the resourceful people, but he never doubted it. Shang Weitao has just occupied Sichuan and Shu, because people's hearts are not attached.

At this time, Meng Huo and the others were also discussing how to proceed.

"I heard that Wei Tao is a hero of the Central Plains, and now he even became the emperor. Could there be some fraud in this?"

After all, Meng Huo was a barbarian king, so it was quite different. Standing high above a giant elephant at this time, he was indeed quite heroic and domineering.

"Hahahaha...Your Majesty, you don't know the cowardice of these Han people. What kind of general is Gao Ding called? In the end, he was easily defeated by us, and he wanted to defend the city. It's ridiculous! I heard that there are dragons in Chengdu! Qi, as long as I wait to take it, then you will be the emperor, and we will each be great generals!"

After all, the barbarians were barbarians, and there was no obvious superiority or inferiority. Although Meng Huo was a barbarian king, he also did not have much coercive power.

However, Meng Huo didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he also won his position as the barbarian king step by step, so he nodded and said after hearing this.

"That's right, this time we have all the best soldiers, among them are giant elephant soldiers, rattan armor soldiers, and even brave men like the Lord Wutugu. The mere Han people are indeed no match for us. And bring Dongzhu you You are right, the Han people are so weak, how can they deserve to enjoy such a fertile land, but our warriors can only hide in the mountains and forests. This situation must be changed, break the city of Chengdu, let our people all Have a good time!"

"Oh!"

Hearing Meng Huo's personal order, all the barbarians immediately cheered, and then they no longer had any scruples, and rushed straight to Chengdu, rolling all the way.

All the people who refused to leave along the way fell into the hands of the barbarians. If they dared to resist, they would be murdered by the barbarians without hesitation. With the arrival of the barbarians, it can be said that the road is full of smoke and dust.

When the news spread to Chengdu, Wei Tao couldn't help but be furious. This is a Han family, and it's really hateful that Nanman killed them like this!
"Hmph! Damn the barbarians!"

Although he made the plan himself, Wei Tao was very annoyed when he heard that the people under his rule would have such an experience. It is able to suppress and subdue the Nanman.

If the southern barbarians come, they must be allowed to come and go!
Wei Tao made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, these barbarians don't know what military discipline is, and they walked recklessly all the way. However, after the news came from the front, the people in the rear followed His Majesty's order and quickly evacuated to Hanzhong. Although there are still some troubles along the way, as long as there is a delay Day, it doesn't matter."

At this time, Lu Xun comforted Wei Tao and calmed down Wei Tao's anger. Then Lu Xun hesitated and asked again.

"Your Majesty's meaning, we naturally understand that the southern barbarians are powerful, one is because of their dangerous location, and the other is that after several years of recuperation, their number of people is gradually increasing. Now your majesty let them go, not only to avoid their geographical advantages, but also In order to smash his army, but His Majesty's safety is very serious, now there are only [-] soldiers in Chengdu, how can we defend against the enemy?"

This was to persuade Wei Tao to leave, but Wei Tao just responded with a question and a smile.

"Since Bo Yan knows that persuasion is bound to be useless, why bother to talk too much? How can I, Wei Tao, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? What's more, as long as we break the Nanman again now, I will be safe in all directions. If we adopt the strategy of assimilation and absorption, our great Han nation will become more and more prosperous, while the situation for foreigners will be the opposite, so how can I not make full use of it?"
