Chapter 342: Divide and Win Over

The flag of the Gongsun tribe is still flying over Jishi Mountain, but the real owner of Jishi Mountain has changed. According to the agreement, all members of the Gongsun tribe, including Ah Man and Gongsun Dexiang, will not suffer any loss of private property, except of course slaves. The Gongsun tribe will join the Fufeng Army as a whole, but in Jishi Mountain, they will still expand externally in the name of the Gongsun tribe. In Sun Xiao's eyes, not only the chaotic prairie, but also the abominable Hejian County, isn't it the target he will deal with? That damn Jiang Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County, dared to take advantage of the fire when the general was in trouble, and exchange the general's head for the favor of some people. Well, now is the time to pay some price. As for another place, Sun Xiao decided not to provoke the other party, that is Shannan County of the Qin people. The county city of Shannan County was established at the Huolan Pass. The tentacles not only control the large grasslands south of the Huolan Pass, directly threatening the Dai County of Zhao State, but also monitor the large area north of the pass. Where are they still stationed? Qin general Yingying's 10,000 cavalry of the Qin army is a hard rock, far from what Sun Xiao can touch now.

Qin general Yingying, after taking the head of the Xiongnu King Yemang, his popularity rose sharply, and his reputation in Qin State far surpassed that of other Qin princes, but Qin Wulie ordered him to temporarily station in Shannan County to control the Huns on the grassland. Not only that, but he directly took away half of the 20,000 cavalry under his command, making Qin's domestic civil and military officials confused for a while.

If King Qin Wulie didn't like Yingying, but when he led his troops to Hangu Pass, he left a will that if he died, Yingying would be made king. Obviously, he is a prince who has won the king's heart, but now, the situation is very good, but King Qin Wulie put Yingying in Shannan County and prevented him from coming back.

Everyone in the Qin State was speculating whether it was too much meritorious service in winning the British army, and the support of Li Xin had aroused the suspicion of the King of Qin. After all, after Yingteng died in Hangu Pass, Li Xin became the only commander in the Qin army. King Qin Wulie is only in his forties now, and it is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period.

As if to confirm the conjecture of many people, Li Xin was placed in Hangu Pass, and Yingying was imprisoned in Shannan County. One south and one north, with a distance of thousands of miles, King Wulie of Qin promoted Wang Xiao, the former general of Li Xin's department, as a general, and became a figure who could stand against Li Xin.

Another rising political star in Qin State. But what it represents inside is meaningful. Xianyang, which seems to be quiet, is actually undercurrents surging, and everyone is guessing what King Qin Wulie really thinks.

But these things are too far away from Sun Xiao, he has never thought about the intrigue in the court at all, it is in his heart. General Gao asked him to manage Jishi Mountain and build another lair, so he had to do this well and build an impregnable Jishi Mountain fortress for the general.

From the inside and outside of Gao Yuan's words, Sun Xiao understood one thing, that is, some people in the country of Yan were going to be unfavorable to the general, and these people were born to be untouchable by the general, so the general had to find a way out. It is also to find a retreat for all the Fufeng brothers. Coming here by yourself is a dark line planted by the general. When the time comes,

Can give some people a good look, that being the case. Of course, the stronger the power, the better.

Shannan County can't be provoked, but the area here is too vast, and there are still plenty of opportunities in other places.

Sun Xiao sat on the main seat and looked at the Aman and his wife with a smile. It has been more than ten days since Jishi Mountain surrendered. Right now, the Fufeng Army has completely controlled this place. Then, the most dangerous job of reorganizing the army , it should be put on the agenda.

Since Gongsun Dexiang is the heir to the official brand of the Gongsun family, Ah Man doesn't have to be placed in this place. Sun Xiao directly asked Ah Man to lead the 300 cavalrymen under his command to the Niulanshan Fortress and join Gao Yuan's command. Without Ah Man, the others would not be able to make trouble. Included under the banner. After a year or so, these cavalrymen may recognize their Aman patriarch. As for Sima Dexiang, after all, he is a woman of the generation, so keeping him here will allow him to use the name of the Gongsun family for a long time without any danger.

"The Gongsun tribe has just joined my Fufeng Army, and I want to separate the Xian couple into two places. I'm really sorry!" Sun Xiao smiled, apologizing to the two of them, but his tone was unquestionable, " It's really because my Fufeng Army is preparing to march into Donghu and needs a brave general like Patriarch Aman. But we don't have any real challenges here. Good men have ambitions everywhere. I think Patriarch Aman must be very eager to jump. Horse battlefield, galloping freely, isn’t it?”

Things have come to this, what can be said? Ah Man can only nod repeatedly, "General Gao Yuan's reputation spreads far and wide, and his power shakes the world. It is the glory of the warriors of my Gongsun tribe to serve under General Gao Yuan."

Sun Xiao laughed, "The patriarch said well, maybe the patriarch is still a little annoyed now, but you will thank me in the future, my general is not a mortal, and he will rule the world in the future, and those who follow him will certainly not I’m at a disadvantage. To tell you the truth, two years ago, I was only the head of the capital who commanded fifty people, but within two years, my general allowed me to command thousands of sons. Chief of the Aman tribe, the future of the Gongsun tribe is bright Well, of course, it also depends on whether you can strive for glory. In my Fufeng Army, regardless of origin, regardless of nationality, only military exploits and contributions are considered. If you can make meritorious service for the Fufeng Army, you are a slave or a But when you are promoted to a general, you can only eat but not work, even a hereditary nobleman, in our eyes, is also a pile of shit."

"The general is right, Ah Man will definitely do his best!" Ah Man repeatedly said yes.

"Actually, Mrs. Dexiang should go with the patriarch, but now you and I have just formed an alliance, and there are still thousands of people in the Gongsun tribe here. There must be a backbone, right? Madam Dexiang, please stay for a while longer, when the situation here is a little bit better, Madam Dexiang wants to go to Fufeng to reunite with the patriarch, there must be no problem." Sun Xiao showed a sly smile on his face.

"That's not necessary. I'm used to living on the grasslands. I'm definitely not used to the life in Fufeng." Dexiang shook his head repeatedly.

"It's easy to say, it's up to Mrs. Dexiang!" Sun Xiao laughed. "Then it's settled. Xian and his wife are about to part, and there must be a lot of heart-to-heart words to say, so I won't delay the two of you. I have already written a letter to the commander of the Eastern Army, Shi Jiang. Someone will come to meet you." Sun Xiao stood up and personally sent the two out of the big tent. Looking at the lonely backs of the two, Sun Xiao sneered.

When Ah Man went to Fufeng, he would only become a fierce general who charged into the battle, but here, he had to separate step by step. Gradually reduce the influence of Aman and Dexiang on the Gongsun tribe, and finally integrate all the people of the Gongsun tribe into the Fufeng Army.

"Come on, please come in, Mr. Guo and the others!" Sun Xiao yelled at the guards outside the tent.

Four old men in ragged clothes and wrinkled faces entered the big tent timidly and stood in a row in the middle of the big tent. After a little hesitation, they all knelt down in front of Sun Xiao with a bang, their hands resting on the ground, and their foreheads almost touched the ground.

"What are you doing?" Sun Xiao who was about to speak was taken aback by their actions, "Get up, get up!"

On the ground, the faces of the little old men were full of panic. No matter what Sun Xiao said, he just knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, which finally annoyed Sun Xiao, "Get up, if you don't get up again, you will be pulled out and chopped off!"

Only then did the little old men get up in a panic. Looking at their appearance, Sun Xiao couldn't help but sighed. These are all from the Central Plains, and they were taken captive by the grassland tribe at some point. Obviously suffered a lot.

"Several old men, I will be the generals of the Fufeng Army, the people of Dayan, not the nobles of the Huns, you don't have to be afraid. And we came this time to save you from the sea of ​​suffering. From today onwards, you are no longer slaves. You are free!" Sun Xiao looked at them and emphasized again: "You are free, understand?"

Freedom, for these people who have been reduced to slaves, is something beyond their reach. Once freedom really comes, they will be a little at a loss. You look at me, I look at you, tongue-tied, but speechless.

"Your name is Guo Lao Si?" Sun Xiao looked at an old man with a gray beard standing in the middle, and said with a smile: "I know you, those people from the Gongsun tribe have mentioned you, and you look better than others. People should live better!"

Sun Xiao intended to talk and relax their emotions, but when Guo Laosi heard this, he knelt down again in fright, "General, I am just a farmer, and I have some experience in farming, so those Huns think highly of me." At a glance, I've never done anything bad."

Sun Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "I know, I understand, you get up and talk."

"You four, I have inquired about them. Among the nearly 2,000 slaves on Jishi Mountain, you are regarded as highly respected and have a lot of weight in your words. Therefore, I came to you because I have something to discuss with you!" Akatsuki cut straight to the point.

"Don't dare, dare not, if the general has any orders, just ask the younger ones to do it!" Guo Laosi finally became a little normal.

"You can't say that." Sun Xiao shook his head: "I said before, you are no longer slaves, you are free, so naturally you are free to come and go, you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, we are not yours. New owner, you have to understand this."

The old men swallowed their saliva and looked at Sun Xiao uneasily.

"However, I can personally give you some advice. Now there is chaos on the grassland, not only the Huns' rout, but also horse bandits as numerous as a cow's hair. If you leave the protection of our army, you may fall into these forces again. In the hands of human beings, there is a possibility of losing your life. Moreover, our Fufeng Army is going to take root here, and we also need your people. If you are willing to stay, we are very welcome. We will give you support The houses and the fields that you have reclaimed outside will be distributed to you, and they will belong to you forever, and the Fufeng Army will make a land deed for you, and from then on, those are your fields." Sun Xiao said slowly.

"General, are you telling the truth?" Guo Laosi's eyes widened, "We are basically homeless people, if this is the case, I don't think anyone will leave here .”

"Of course it's true." Sun Xiao smiled, "As long as you are willing to stay, we will send you these things right away."

"Then we all stay here and don't leave." Several old men nodded immediately.

"Can you decide?" Sun Xiao looked at them. "Go back and discuss with them first, and tell them that if you are willing to farm, we will give you fields, livestock, farm tools, and houses for you. Those who are willing to join the army can join the army immediately. The military salary must be higher than that. The income from farming is higher."

"We'll go back and discuss it with everyone!" Guo Laosi and the others became excited.

"Okay, let's go, I'll wait for your good news." Sun Xiao said with a smile.

He Lanyan, who had been curled up in a corner of the big tent, looked at the old men who left, and said dissatisfiedly: "Sun Xiao, is it such a trouble? Once you pull out the knife, are you afraid they won't want it?"

"Coach, you can't do this!" Sun Xiao said with a smile, "What we want is their willingness. Think about it, these people didn't have anything of their own, and they didn't even have personal freedom. The whole thing was someone else's property. Now, We give them land so that they can serve in the army, become an officer, and have a good background. Think about it, will these people work desperately for us in order to maintain what they have so hard to get? Because only We only gave them the things they dreamed of, and this also set a model for those wandering on the grassland. Now that most of the Hun tribes have collapsed, I am afraid that there are many slaves wandering on the grassland. After hearing the news, Will they rush to vote? The general sent us here to establish a base for future planning, but to build such a place, there must be people as the foundation. So, the first step, we have to make this place flourish , With enough manpower, many things can be done well!"

"Only by this?" He Lanyan asked.

"Of course not!" A smirk appeared on Sun Xiao's face, "I'm going to go to Hejian County after everything stabilizes and Jishishan Fortress has a certain scale. Since Yan Shenghao has the guts to call our general's attention , then you have to pay a little price." (To be continued.
