Chapter 566 Lu Su's Request

For the time being, the matter of the barbarians has been finalized, starting with the Zhurong clan, and Liu Zhang's general will personally lead the army to move the entire Zhurong clan out.

Afterwards, it was tried step by step in the whole county of Yizhou County, especially those tribes that died too much and the patriarch died.

Considering that winter is approaching, and the tribes with too many dead and injured barbarians will not be able to survive, Liu Zhang has ordered priority deployment.

The surrendered barbarians will be Liu Zhang's subjects in the future. Since he has promised that the barbarians will be treated equally, Liu Zhang must do his best to help.

Except for Yongchang County, which has not actually sent troops to occupy it, the entire Yizhou is basically completely subordinated.

In Yongchang County, Meng Kun, Meng Huo, and Meng's elite, the largest resistance force, were killed and injured, and many patriarchs were killed or captured in battle, so there was almost no obstacle.

Liu Zhang has ordered Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Liao to lead an army of 30,000 troops to Yongchang County with Zheng Du as their military adviser, with the goal of occupying the eight counties of Yongchang County.

After occupying the eight counties of Yongchang, a strict defense policy was adopted. The elite barbarians of Yongchang suffered heavy casualties. Just one winter can make their already miserable living environment worse.

This also provides a boost for continuing to subdue the barbarians next year.

Lu Su has been ordered to arrive in Yizhou County, and this will also be the starting point for Liu Zhang to really start to incorporate the barbarians.

Zhu Rong's cooperation with Zhu Qiao is believed to be of great help to Lu Su.

"Zijing, the situation in Nanzhong is basically calm now, but I guess the battles will continue one after another. I will only take Ziyi and Wufengying back with the troops from all walks of life in Nanzhong, and I will leave the rest to you to help you completely subdue all the troops. quite."

Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Yuexi County and Zangcai County are too big, even if there are 100,000 troops left, it is difficult to take care of them! Liu Zhang is well aware of the difficulty of this matter, and is also doing his best to help Lu Su.

"Thank you, my lord, I will do my best!"

Lu Su bowed to the end, expressing his inner gratitude to Liu Zhang for his trust, but his face seemed hesitant to speak.

"Zijing, if you have any questions, it's okay to say."

All this work was handed over to Lu Su, and Liu Zhang couldn't bear it. If Lu Su had any needs, he would definitely not be stingy.

"My lord, the barbarians in Nanzhong can't be attached overnight, maybe a few years or even ten years, so please be mentally prepared in advance, my lord!"

Lu Su looked at Liu Zhang in some embarrassment, and as expected, Liu Zhang frowned slightly.

"Zijing, I know that it is not easy for the barbarians in Nanzhong to surrender, but ten years is too long. How can I sit back and watch the world turmoil for ten years?"

"Ten years ago, I had just quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion. People in the world thought that the troubled times were over, and the prosperous times were about to begin! But ten years have passed, and the Han Dynasty has already fallen apart.

Liu Zhang didn't want to put pressure on Lu Su, but if the ten years he said were true, he might miss the best time to fight for world hegemony.

It will be 195 years soon. Ten years later, that is, 205 years, what will the world be like?

The Battle of Chibi is about to begin!

Tai Shici is almost dead in history!

It was also for this reason that Liu Zhang didn't want Tai Shici to stay in Nanzhong for a long time, and he had to try his best to take care of his health.

"My lord, it is not easy to fight for world hegemony. Don't be impatient. If you are anxious, you will be in chaos. If you are in chaos, you will panic. If you are in panic, you will have no thoughts. If you have no threads, you will not succeed. Therefore, everything must be decided!"

"The contribution of the barbarians in Nanzhong is in the present, and the benefits will be in the future! As long as we completely subdue the barbarians, there will be a steady stream of Nanzhong warriors fighting for us in the future!"

Lu Su was very afraid that Liu Zhang could not resist the temptation of land and achievements, and would immediately lead his army out of Sichuan.

Nanzhong will not only occupy most of Yizhou's troops, but also occupy a huge amount of food and grass. If it really fights on two fronts, it will be tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and Yizhou will be completely drained and lose its vitality.

Liu Zhang knew that Lu Su had misunderstood him, so he patted him on the shoulder quickly.

"Don't worry, Zijing, I'm not so eager for quick success! Even if there were no such things as the Nanzhong barbarians, I would let Yizhou recuperate for a few years."

"As the Great Hanwei General, if I don't move, I will be fine. If I move, there will be a thunderous force, and if I move, all the heroes in the world will tremble!"

Lu Su was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Liu Zhang's words made him nervous again.

"Although I can wait, I can't wait forever. The people of Yizhou live and work in peace and contentment, and the people of the world still need me to save them!"

Liu Zhang knew deeply that, as a pure clan member of the Han Dynasty, he should always take the righteousness of the world as his banner.

It is true to be greedy for the states and counties of the world, and it is also true to save the people, but what you say must be words that make everyone in the world respect.

"My lord, Gao Yi, I admire you!"

Lu Su and Liu Ye knew it well, but they still couldn't help showing their respect.

"I don't know how the Lord plans to march in the future?"

For the overall strategy, Liu Zhang has not changed from the beginning to the end.

"Wenhe has formed an alliance with Jingzhou, so Jingzhou is not our next goal. After a few years, going north to Hanzhong will be our path."

Liu Zhang was firm in his heart. He believed that as long as he followed the old path of Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu, the Han Dynasty would be revived.

Yizhou, Liangzhou and Guanzhong are undoubtedly the best choices.

"My lord, I must go all out to subdue the barbarians as quickly as possible, and let all the troops return to Chengdu!"

Almost all of Liu Zhang's elite troops are in Nanzhong. If these troops don't go back, it is absolutely impossible for them to go north.

"Zijing, don't be too impatient. It's better to be stable in the early stage and try to be as calm as possible. Of course, for stubborn people, kill them when they need to."

"Obey!"

"Yizhou County and Yongchang County also have a lot of talents, such as the Li family from Dianchi, the Lu family from Buwei, etc. Zijing can also be hired according to his ability, and then report to the prefectural pastoral office."

"Obey!"

"After I return to Chengdu, I will arrange a group of talents to come to assist you, and the food will be continuously transported by water. You just have to show your skills!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lu Su was extremely moved. Liu Zhang really cared for him. He gave him everything he could and couldn't.

The word trust is used to the extreme here by Liu Zhang.

Lu Su didn't express much, but the firmness in his heart was unshakable. He wanted to use the best results to thank Liu Zhang for his importance.

"Zijing, the land of Nanzhong is full of wealth. It is full of gold, silver, copper, iron and other mines. It is inexhaustible! We must listen to the opinions of the local people and report the real situation. Don't be stingy with rewards for those who have meritorious deeds."

In the era of the end of the Han Dynasty, there were not only military struggles, but also economic struggles, and even a small copper coin could cause huge turmoil.

Of course, in this war-torn era, iron ore is the most important thing!

Most of the iron armor of Liu Zhang's army came from Que Jian, the former governor of Yizhou.

Over the years, apart from taking some from the Luoyang government treasury, there is no major replenishment.

From Hanzhong County all the way south, until now Yizhou has been unified, and the armors found in the treasury of each county are less than 10,000 pairs!

Liu Zhang's army was invincible, the key to defeating the enemy, and covering soldiers with iron armor played a key role.

As long as iron ore can be found and mined, Liu Zhang can build heavy armor to trap the camp, and light iron armor will gradually cover the main force.

Even the weapons and equipment of all personnel must be deployed uniformly.
