Li Xingchen put down his teacup and looked at the situation outlined on the map.
This is a map about Nanzhong, and it was hundreds of years ago, when the owner of this land was still the Shu Han. After that, the wars raged in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Central Plains Dynasty and the Jiangnan Dynasty always stopped at Bashu, and there were very few
Policies and actions that continue to extend southward.
In name, Nanzhong is still the land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but this connection is already very weak. It is somewhat similar to the Jizi of later generations. These tribes obviously no longer submit to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they have no intention of surrendering to Nanchen. The Northern Zhou Dynasty
Even the Bashu area has not been tidied up, let alone the governance of Nanzhong.
Over time, Nanzhong no longer fell under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty.
When Li Xingchen captured Bashu, the last weak relationship between these tribes and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was also cut off. Of course, due to the lack of information, it was not until Du Qi went to Nanzhong that these Nanzhong tribes knew that the world outside had changed.
Earth-shaking changes have taken place - perhaps not for the entire world, but certainly for the tribes in central and southern China who have only one connection with the outside world, Bashu.
In fact, they are more accustomed to submitting to the masters not of the Central Plains, but of Bashu.
Li Xingchen did not expect that the tribes in Nanzhong, which had not been in contact with the Central Plains for too long, would want to bow their heads when they met. After all, compared to the Ba people at that time, although their living conditions were not that good, their ability to be self-sufficient was still the same.
Yes, and there are not many Han activities in Nanzhong, so these Nanzhong tribes do not need to deliberately avoid anything.
However, Li Xinchen also knew that he was not without bargaining chips. Now that Bashu had become a whole rather than a scattered mess, he was undoubtedly a new boss that could be followed. And Li Xinchen himself was not an unknown person. Along the way, he had been stepped on by him.
Wei Xiaokuan, Yu Chijiong, etc. at his feet are the best proof of Li Xinchen's ability.
No matter how isolated Nanzhong is, it is not without any news from the Central Plains. Even the Northern Zhou Dynasty would send envoys and officials there from time to time, and it could still maintain the prestige of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the hearts of various tribes in Nanzhong. Li Xingchen wanted to thank
It is these officials and envoys.
According to Du Qi's description, thanks to these officials and envoys, the southern and central ministries still know the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty very well. After all, if you want to show the strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, using the examples of these famous generals is indeed a good choice, but now this
All the efforts were obviously to make Li Xingchen's wedding clothes, because the record of defeating Wei Xiaokuan, Yuchi Jiong and others was enough to prove that Li Xingchen was more powerful than the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even now, Li Xingchen is not on par with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in terms of national strength, military strength or anything else.
Qualifications.
For various tribes in the south, the so-called land, money and food are actually abstract concepts. What they admire and obey more is still the strong. As long as the individual is strong enough, he will naturally lead more people.
ability, then naturally we can give the various tribes in Nanzhong what they want.
This is why Du Qi soon came with good news.
The various ministries in Nanzhong have very broad requirements for land, money, food, etc., but this does not mean that they do not have any requirements. After all, if a cave master wants to be firm in his position and have his subordinates support him, he also needs to bring benefits to his subordinates.
The advantage is to prove that you have the qualifications and abilities.
It is indeed a good choice for these cave masters to follow Li Xingchen, a newly emerging strong man from Bashu, and to gain certain benefits in the future competition in the world.
Now Li Xingchen was sitting in front of the map, quietly looking at the topography of Nanzhong, and footsteps hurriedly sounded, and Du Qi's figure appeared in Li Xingchen's eyes. Li Xingchen raised his eyes calmly and looked over, compared to a
Many months ago, Du Qi became a lot darker and became stronger.
Li Xingchen had to admit that the ability of these Ba people to travel in the mountains was indeed far better than that of the Han people. Their small stature and strong muscles were simply born for fighting in the mountains. If he did not have the help of the Ba people, he would
Even if we are enemies with the Ba people, I can't imagine what will happen.
Du Qi was also startled when he saw Li Xingchen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now Li Xingchen was sitting in front of the desk, wearing a clean white robe, looking like a sage disciple who was full of knowledge.
But only those who understand know clearly in their hearts what methods this killing god used to defeat any opponent who wanted to challenge him, and what kind of vigorous and resolute actions he used to suppress the entire Bashu.
As quiet as a virgin, as active as a stray rabbit, this is how a military strategist should act.
Although Du Qi has not read a few books, this principle is still very clear. In this way, an enemy who knows the gains and losses of advancing and retreating can easily control the entire battle situation in his hands, and can better judge when to take action and when to stand aside.
If Du Qi had a choice, he would not want to be an opponent of such a person. He had dealt with many Han people, and Tang Yishun and his like were already difficult to deal with, but difficult to deal with does not mean that he could not deal with them, and only Li Xingchen
, making Du Qi feel that he could never be his opponent in this life.
"See General!" Du Qi did not dare to neglect. He saluted and turned slightly sideways, "General, my subordinates went to Nanzhong. Fortunately, they did not disgrace their orders. This is Dong Shanping, the envoy elected by the eleven tribes in the north of Nanzhong."
Following Du Qi was a sturdy middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance. Compared to Du Qi, Dong Shanping seemed to be darker, with a tanned face and sharp edges, and a pair of copper-bell-sized eyes looking straight at him.
Li Xingchen.
Du Qi coughed lightly, and Dong Shanping seemed to realize who was sitting in front of him. He cupped his hands stiffly: "Dong Shanping, please see General Zhenxi."
Li Xingchen stood up and made a supporting gesture: "Please get up."
Dong Shanping speaks Chinese fluently, which makes Li Xingchen a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Nanzhong and the Central Plains are not completely connected. It is reasonable for people in Nanzhong to speak Chinese, and these Nanzhong
The tribe must have considered this when they recommended Dong Shanping.
Dong Shanping was obviously not polite to Li Xingchen - or in other words, it was not easy for these barbarian tribes to barely abide by the etiquette of the Han people. He immediately said with a smile: "The southern and central ministries have long admired General Zhenxi.
With a great reputation, I got to meet General Zhenxi today, and those rumors seem to be true!"
Li Xingchen also smiled. Although he has not yet fully mastered the ability to talk to people and ghosts, he certainly cannot use the same tone and tone with Han family veterans like Gu Yewang and barbarians like Du Qi and Dong Shanping.
manner.
Although Li Xingchen was sometimes somewhat resistant to the barbarians' lack of attention to detail, it was not because Li Xingchen was being pretentious, but because as a superior, in order to maintain basic dignity and status, of course Li Xingchen could only take the initiative to hook up with his subordinates, and of course he could not.
It was his subordinates who took the initiative to call Li Xinchen brothers.
