Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Zhang Fei was stunned!
Zhang Fei's big copper bell-like eyes were staring at Guan Yu who was half-squinting, and seemed to be speaking carelessly, completely unexpected that his second brother would actually say such words.

"Second brother, please give way to your younger brother." Zhang Fei said in a loud voice.

Guan Yu said with a serious attitude.

"Hey, third brother, subduing the island barbarians is a major matter of the country. It cannot be ignored in the slightest. How can we allow it to be compromised due to personal feelings? The second brother is more prudent in his actions. Let him go. If there is a war next time, the second brother will let him go. That’s it for my third brother.”

If it were purely military merit, Guan Yu would not compete with Zhang Fei...

However, this is to expand territory and regain lost ground!

As long as the island barbarians are returned to Yangzhou, it will be enough to leave a name in the history books and be sung for generations to come!
It can be said that no military general can resist this temptation.

Naturally, Guan Yu didn't want to let go of the glory that could be used to open a family tree alone, and it was true that Zhang Fei was reckless. Guan Yu was also worried that Zhang Fei was not paying attention for a while, which would lead to too much quarrel with the Kyushu survivors on Daoyi.

It's just that Zhang Fei rarely has the opportunity to fight, so why is he willing to give up?
For a moment, the red-faced and black-faced people started fighting with each other, trying to persuade each other to support him in leading the army to conquer the island barbarians.

In fact, not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even Liu Bei was very excited to personally conquer the "island barbarians" whose area was comparable to Wu County.

However, Liu Bei knew that Li Ji would never agree to lead his army to the sea, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were trying to persuade each other, instead of persuading each other, became a little envious.

Li Ji looked at the rare quarrel between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and found it quite interesting, so he spoke.

"Yun Chang, Yide, just listen to what I have to say, okay?"

At this time, Li Ji's words were more useful than anything else. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded almost in tandem.

"Yes."

"Mr. Zikun, please speak."

Li Ji took his time and tasted the warm wine in the glass, organized his words a little, and said.

"According to the information reported by people who initially went to explore the island, there are indeed Kyushu survivors on the island, and the number has been initially confirmed to be more than 50,000 households. And because they have been away from Kyushu for a long time, the farming lifestyle of the island survivors has become different from that of the Han people. There is a difference.”

"Furthermore, Daoyi is no less big than Wu County, and the terrain is also high in mountains and forested. It is much hotter and muggier than Wu County, and all kinds of snakes, insects and beasts emerge in endlessly."

"If you want the island barbarians to return to the Han Dynasty, the people who lead the army must receive both kindness and power, and they need to be stationed on the island barbarians for a long time. It is really a hard job."

"If both Yun Chang and Yi De are interested, they need to consider it carefully."

(PS: Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as the Gaoshan tribe in Yizhou, and the Gaoshan tribe was mainly composed of a branch of the Guyue people from the southeast coast.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms: Book of Wu, the native residents of Yizhou occasionally crossed the sea to Kuaiji County for trading. When Wei Wen returned from crossing the sea, he also brought back thousands of native residents of Yizhou, so at this time The local residents living in Yizhou may date back to the period of "Shang Shu Yu Gong". )
As soon as Li Ji said this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fell into deep thought.

Daoyi are originally a recorded part of Kyushu, so going to Daoyi cannot even be considered as a conquest, but to return Daoyi to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, even if it is necessary to use troops, the emphasis should be on using both kindness and power to bring back the remaining people on the island.

Moreover, the environment and climate of the island are extremely harsh.

In addition, it is impossible for the generals stationed on Daoyi to change frequently. In order to make the survivors on Daoyi return home, they must be stationed for at least a few years at a time.

With all these factors going on, it can indeed be considered a chore.

Especially for northerners like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the climate in Wu County has been adapted to for a long time, and the climate in Daoyi must be even more unaccustomed.

"Zikun, it's not just the generals, but also the soldiers."

Liu Bei suddenly realized something and said.

"If it is necessary to station in Daoyi for a long time, not to mention whether the morale of Wujun's soldiers will be seriously reduced, even if the climate is really hotter and harsher than Wujun's, and it is both high mountains and dense forests, Wujun's soldiers may not be able to adapt."

Li Ji nodded, and there was no denying this.

This era is far from that of later generations. When soldiers are sent to garrison thousands of miles away, they can still occasionally have communication equipment to contact relatives and friends.

Being away from home for too long, being in a harsh environment, being unaccustomed to the climate, etc., may cause major problems with morale.

Perhaps this is why Sun Quan in the original trajectory clearly sent Wei Wen to find Yizhou, but did not send troops to garrison it, nor did he truly incorporate Yizhou into the rule of Wu.

In the final analysis, Sun Quan still felt that "the gains outweighed the losses."

Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there is never a shortage of deep mountains and old forests. What it lacks is fertile land and population. This is what Yizhou has not provided to the Wu State in a short period of time. On the contrary, if the Wu State wants to completely control Yizhou, it needs A lot of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, the final result is that Wei Wen found Yizhou and brought back thousands of Yizhou survivors, and there is no further story. At this moment, Liu Bei was also secretly analyzing the pros and cons and raised similar doubts, saying.

"Zikun, if we send heavy troops to station, will the gains outweigh the losses?"

"I know what your lord is worried about, but I have a preliminary plan in mind on how to send soldiers, and your lord can listen to it." Li Ji said with a smile.

Liu Bei replied with some expectation and curiosity. "Zikun, please speak."

Hearing this, Li Ji spoke slowly.

"To completely bring the Dao barbarians back to the Han Dynasty, it is definitely not about planting a Han flag on the Dao barbarians, but it is necessary to make all the Dao barbarians believe in the Han flag, clarify the Han code, proclaim the benevolence and righteousness of the Han Dynasty, and give both kindness and power so that the remaining people will follow the Han flag. To be proud of being a great Han, you can only call yourself Han.”

"And for the island barbarian remnants to initially recognize the Han people, it will take three to five years at the fastest, and it may take more than ten or twenty years for a whole generation to be slower."

"Therefore, if all the soldiers sent are soldiers from Wu County, the soldiers from Wu County will be impetuous and difficult to stay for a long time."

"Therefore, based on Ji's humble opinion, we might as well select some of the young Han people who have no worries at home, and then recruit people from Shanyue who are willing to come out of the mountains. We can initially train these young Han people with the people of Shanyue, and then send them out. Settled in Daoyi."

"These soldiers are either Han people with no worries at home, or people from Shanyue who are quite adapted to the deep mountains and dense forests. And those people from Shanyue can bring their families with them. Han people who arrive on the island can also marry local women who are survivors, and then Supplemented by the method of farming, it can be self-sufficient without the need for Wu County to consume money and food all the time. "

"In just three to five years, the barbarians will become Han natives!"

In order for Liu Bei to hear clearly, Li Ji deliberately spoke very slowly so that Liu Bei could understand.

After Li Ji finished speaking, Liu Bei became obviously excited and spoke repeatedly.

"It's doable! It's doable! Zikun is really a talented person. If you use this method, not only will the money and food consumed by Wu County be very small, but the soldiers sent to Daoyi will not need to be replaced from time to time, and they will be allowed to thrive on Daoyi. Can."

"In three to five years' time, it is impossible to say that the island barbarians will even continuously provide food, timber, minerals, etc. to Wu County."

Guan Yu on the side was more concerned about another issue, said.

"Mr. Zikun, could it be that he deliberately conquered Shanyue in Wuhui's land, or that he had considered this issue early, so that he could send Shanyue, who is good at deep mountains and dense forests, as a source of troops to Daoyi?"

Li Ji smiled and replied. "That's just a coincidence."

However, neither Liu Bei, Guan Yu, nor Zhang Fei felt that this was purely Li Ji's humble words.

The main reason is that these are actually interconnected, as if they had already planned it. Shanyue, who was originally a trouble for Wu Commandery, was clearly arranged, and the problem of soldiers who wanted to take the island barbarians back into the Han Dynasty was also solved. More than half solved.

Moreover, triangles are stable!
In this way, there will be Han people, Shanyue and local survivors on the island, which will also prevent the conflicts between the three parties from becoming too sharp.

Furthermore, the emergence of Daoyi undoubtedly solved the problem of land for settling Shanyue.

Nowadays, it has only been half a year since the Shanyue people in the land of Wu Hui succumbed to Wu Jun. Not only a large number of Shanyue people have become accustomed to going to Wu Jun to "work".

Many tribes have quietly contacted Wu County and want to move the tribes out of the mountains and forests to live in Wu County.

However, the fertile land in Wu County is not enough to even recruit refugees. Furthermore, the conflict between the Shanyue tribe and the Han people living in the same place needs to be considered.

Therefore, when Liu Bei faced the requests of many Shanyue tribes, he could only politely refuse them, appeasing them to "work" and strive to turn the tribes into a paradise as soon as possible.

Now, don't some Shanyue tribes want a piece of arable land as a reward?

Coincidentally, that part of the Shanyue tribe can be completely moved to the island barbarians, and the young and strong can be used as soldiers, and the rest of the old, weak, women and children can also follow and settle there.

The lifestyle of the island barbarian remnants of this era was even worse than that of Shanyue. They were not good at farming and relied on gathering and hunting for a living. It can be said that they wasted a lot of land that was cultivated into fertile farmland.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He felt that this was really the best of all three strategies.

The Han people, Shanyue and the remaining people all benefited.

"Zi Kun's brilliant plan, in this way, even if we recover Daoyi, we won't have to waste much food, and the problem of the number of troops stationed in Daoyi can be said to be solved."

Liu Bei said with admiration, and then said. "But who can go to Daoyi and serve as the head coach?"

At this moment, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew that this was not a good job, and most of the time they went there were not to fight on the battlefield, but to endure the heat and loneliness, to mediate possible conflicts among the three parties, and to show kindness to the island barbarian survivors. , establish the name of the great man.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still kneeled down on one knee towards Liu Bei and said.

"Brother, Guan/I am willing to go!" (End of Chapter)
