Tian Chou looked directly at Sun Ce, surprised and couldn't help but feel excited. He did not oppose Taishi Ci's idea of ​​turning Hu into Han. If the Han and Hu family could, the northern border would usher in real peace. What he opposed was Taishi Ci's practice of taking Wuhuan and Xianbei as household registration. This was impossible to achieve, and it would only intensify conflicts and cause greater disasters, so he tried his best to dissuade him.

However, when Sun Ce heard his explanation, he was very calm and said that he only knew one thing, not the other. Obviously, he had thought about these problems a long time ago and had a solution. He believed some of what Taishi Ci said, Sun Ce had a calmness that was inconsistent with his youth, and had a vision that was not as good as ordinary people.

"I wish to hear it carefully." Tian Chou bowed his hand, neither humble nor arrogant.

Sun Ce nodded secretly. "As you said, Jiangdong and the northern border cannot be regarded as the same. Although Jiangdong was once a barbarian, it was similar to the Central Plains, and they were both mainly farming. They were difficult to escape when they were weak, and they also made great achievements when they were strong, which had limited threats to the Central Plains. Although Chu once won the Central Plains, it could not last long. In the end, those who got the Central Plains won the world. Generally speaking, although there was no rich family in Jiangnan, they had enough food and clothing, and there was no need to invade the Central Plains."

Sun Ce paused and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk. "But the Hu in the north is not the case. The northern border is bitter and cold, and the land is barren, so he can only live with water and grass. Even if there are thousands of cattle and sheep, once they encounter a blizzard, it may be a disaster. For them, the Central Plains is an irresistible temptation. Whenever they have the chance, they will ride their horses south. Zitai, you should have a personal experience of this, right?"

Tian Chou slightly said, savoring Sun Ce's words, feeling both admiration and a strange feeling, but he couldn't say it for a while. "What the king said is very much. Youzhou has suffered a lot in the past few decades, especially the Xianbei, who have entered the border almost every year."

"Youzhou was invaded by the border, and the situation in Bingzhou is even more serious. The horse hooves of the Huns have already penetrated into Hedong and may enter Luoyang at any time."

Tian Chou sighed. He went to Chang'an on the order of Liu Yu to make a time pass by Hedong, knowing that what Sun Ce said was not fiction. "The Hu in the north of the border is indeed more harmful than the Jiangdong, but because of this, we cannot act too quickly. Although the conquest by force can be effective for a while, it consumes a lot and is very easy to shake the foundation of the country. Although Youzhou has been constantly attacked in recent years, it is much better than the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou. Wei Huo was rampant in the north of the Mo and failed to destroy the Xiongnu, but instead reduced the household registration. Guangwu governed the country with judo, and did not send a single soldier to conquer the Xiongnu, and guarded the border. From this, it can be seen that it is more appropriate to ease the military than to fight."

"I don't agree with Zitai's words." Sun Ce shook his head. "If there were no Wei Huo rushing to the north of the Mo River, how could the Huns fall apart? When Tan Shihuai set up a royal court in Danhan Mountain, the court brought peace to the people, but was rejected by Tan Shihuai. How could judo be useful?"

Tianchou is speechless.

"Zi Tai, I also advocate conquest. Although it is not a way to govern the country with military force, it is not a good idea to give up the force and benevolence and righteousness. Guangwu governs the country with judo and recruits the Wuhuan and the Huns as soldiers. It seems that he has a plan for a while, but in fact there are endless troubles. How can a country's security be controlled by a foreign race? Facing strong thieves, he does not want to protect himself, but bribe the thieves with money and guards the door with thieves. This is to open the door and greet the thieves. The wise will not take it."

"But the conquest consumes even more. Although the king and the lord are rich in the Central Plains, they owe more than one billion in debt in several battles. The Grand Historian General went to the expedition less than a month and consumed more than 100 million military supplies. The Grand Historian General is a famous general who is not a famous general. With the full support of the King and the Lord, he can win quickly. If someone changes, he will be able to delay for several months and cannot even win, and he does not know how much it should be consumed. Compared with the benefits, it is clear at a glance."

"I thought it wouldn't be the case." Sun Ce raised his hand and interrupted Tian Chou without thinking. "The consequences of the hundreds of millions of grain consumed by the war are even more dangerous. This time Ziyi went to the battle and defeated the Xianbei quickly. It was indeed a bit lucky. If someone else might not be able to win so quickly, but there is no problem with winning. I am very confident in this."

Tian Chou looked at Sun Ce and was speechless. Sun Ce said this very confidently, but he knew very well that Sun Ce had the capital to be confident. He himself was not weaker than Taishi Ci. There were many generals under his command who could fight. Perhaps not as good as Taishi Ci, and defeating the Xianbei people was not a big problem, but it would take more time.

"The powerful generals under the command of the Lord and the Marquis are not difficult to defeat the Xianbei people. But if they cannot be properly placed and force them to rebel again, wouldn't it be counterproductive? The reason why they can win quickly this time is that the King and the Marquis can plan and fight well, and it is also related to the Xianbei people underestimating the enemy. If they were not arrogant and surrendering to the dangerous place, they would lead their troops to escape, but they would probably be the war that will continue and Youzhou will not be able to rest. Wuhuan, the Xianbei people have their own customs, so it is better to follow their old customs than to force them to form households."

"No hurry." Sun Ce shook his hand and smiled: "The reason why Hu in the North of the Frontier has not been explained clearly, so it is too early to discuss how to transform Hu. I will soon return to the Central Plains. I don't know how many years will be after the next meeting. Since Zitai is here, we will slowly say, explain this matter clearly, set the tone for a century-old plan, and make a good start."

Tian Chou felt aroused his heart and understood Sun Ce's meaning. Sun Ce, like Taishi Ci, had high hopes for him. Although he was not interested in being an official, he did not refuse to contribute to such a century-old cause, otherwise he would not have come from afar. Since Sun Ce was willing to say it, he would naturally listen.

"I was reckless, please forgive me."

"How much does Zitai know about the things north of Youzhou outside the Xianbei?"

"Junhou refers to..."

"For example, Fu Yu, Ding Ling."

Tian Chou was a little ashamed. "I have limited understanding of Fuyu and Dingling. In fact, I don't know much about Xianbei. The Xianbei people spanned the grasslands, thousands of miles from east to west, and more than a hundred tribes. Even in the eastern Xianbei, there were more than twenty. What we really knew were the main tribes such as Baizhan, Wild Boar, etc., and those small and medium-sized tribes were not familiar with the situation, let alone Fuyu and Dingling."

"That's right." Sun Ce raised his hand, scratched his temples with his tail finger, and pondered for a moment. Tian Chou saw clearly and became even more uneasy. After a moment, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Then I'll introduce it briefly. According to the information we have collected, there are not only Xianbei people north of Youzhou, but also Fuyu people and Dingling people, and there are no less than ten other races. Fuyu is north of Xuantu, with 80,000 households."

"So many people?" Tian Chou was shocked. Eighty thousand households are not a small number. Zhuo County, the county with the largest household registration in Youzhou, has only so many people, and the household registration of other counties is less than 80,000. This shows that Fuyu is not weak, and once it goes south, it will be a problem. When will the disaster in Youzhou end? At the beginning, there were Donghu, and the Donghu declined, there were Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu people declined, and there were Xianbei. The Xianbei had not yet been pacified, and there were Fuyu.

"Yes, the population is quite large. Although there is no intention to go south yet, who can explain it clearly? You must be careful."

Sun Ce called Zhu Ran, took a map, spread it on the table, and signaled Tian Chou to sit closer. Tian Chou did not refuse, and moved to the opposite Sun Ce to sit down and leaned over to look at the map. The map was drawn very briefly, and it should have been drawn not long ago, and it was just a schematic diagram, which was not accurate. The locations of some tribes were marked on the map, including Fu Yu, between two mountains. Tian Chou frowned at a glance. Judging from the schematic diagram, the mountain on the west side seemed to be the Great Xianbei Mountain that the Xianbei people often called, and it was the ancestral land of the Xianbei people. Xianbei people are descendants of the Donghu, and this place is naturally the origin of the Donghu. Now that Fu Yu is there again, is it the ancestral source of Hu in the north?

"This is a plain." Sun Ce pointed to the two mountains and marked Fuyu and said: "Although this plain still has many swamps and the climate is very cold, it can feed many people. However, this land also has many problems and life is not easy, so people here naturally have a tendency. Once the population grows, they will definitely go out. Among them, going south is the best choice."

Sun Ce drew a line on the map and stopped at Xuantu's position. "Then there are two other options: one is to enter Liaodong, and the other is to enter the Central Plains along the coast of western Liaoning. Therefore, the battle here is destined to be not a temporary solution, it must be a long-term confrontation, which is a heavy burden on manpower and material resources..."

Sun Ce pointed to the map and talked freely, explaining the situation in the Northeast to Tian Chou. There are both the news that Guo Jia had just received and his previous memories. In the history of thousands of China, too many ethnic minorities have emerged in the Northeast, and many of them have established countries in the Central Plains. The most prominent of them are naturally the Jurchens. This ethnic minority that emerged from the white mountains and black waters twice won the Central Plains. The last time it ruled the country for nearly three hundred years, leaving a page of shame.

Now that he has come to this era, he has the opportunity to deal with it from the source, so he naturally cannot let it go easily.

At this time, there were still many differences between the Northeast and the Northeast in later generations. For example, the place called Black Soil in later generations still had a large number of swamps. Not only could it be developed into Pekidemiya, but it was not suitable for a large number of people to live in. However, because of this, the ethnic minorities that originated here were born with the driving force for development. In other words, if not paid attention to it, this is the origin of trouble.

As of now, he did not have enough interest in occupying this land, and it was not economically allowed, but he wanted to build a solid line of defense here - not the Great Wall. Two thousand years of history proved that the Great Wall could not stop the footsteps of ethnic minorities, but could become the root cause of the people in the Central Plains' security - he wanted to promote sinicization in northern Xinjiang, push the front line forward, and at the same time constantly integrate these nations that originated among the white mountains and black waters, so that they could not form a climate. One hundred years is not enough, then two hundred years, and two hundred years is not enough, just five hundred years. The footsteps of the Han people will one day occupy those places. No Jurchen or Khitan will have a chance, and even the hairy bears should not appear. There is only one nation here, that is, China.

"Youzhou is the northern gate of the entire Chinese clothing. This gate can only be guarded by my Chinese clothing. There cannot be any non-my race inside and outside the gate. If there is, there are only two choices: one is to kill, kill it cleanly, and the other is to turn Hu into me. Only when they become one of the Chinese clothing and are willing to fight to protect Chinese civilization can we feel assured that they will shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the gate, otherwise they will be to lead the wolf into the house."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he took a sip of water, looked at Tian Chou, whose upper body was almost lying on the table, and smiled and said, "Zi Tai, which one do you choose?"
