Qin Qi knew in her heart that Lao Cao was right. Unless the supply problem was solved, Ile City could not be defended.

Ile City is too far away from the Central Plains. If something happens, it cannot be solved immediately, which will delay the war.

"Mengde, I understand what you said. As a node where Eastern and Western civilizations blend,

Control will bring unexpected benefits to our Central Plains region. Hold on to this node and wait until the transportation and supply problems are solved.

We can consider advancing into some areas to the west. As long as it does not alert Rome, Parthia and other empires, taking it first will be of great benefit to us in the Central Plains."

Qin Qi said.

"Mengde, in the battle to capture Ile City, it seems that you captured a lot of prisoners and can build civilized schools.

Let the students in the civilized school build infrastructure, improve transportation conditions, and ensure various supplies for the army/army here.

Soldiers stationed in Ile City do not stay here for life. Let’s consider rotating them every three years.

After the general stays here for three years, he can be transferred back to the Central Plains to serve, and the soldiers can retire. We have to consider the next step.

Soldiers’ enlistment period. Soldiers who have exceeded five years can be converted into professional soldiers. In addition, people and soldiers from the Central Plains who come to work in the Western Regions enjoy special subsidies and special treatment."

Qin Qi added.

Lao Cao nodded.

"Our cavalry division is conducting a clearing campaign in the surrounding areas of Ile City in the past few days. Within the area of ​​500 miles to the west,

It has been basically wiped out. Generally speaking, there are not many races living in this area, only scattered races.

However, it is not easy to assimilate the people in Ile City, as they all cannot speak the Central Plains dialect, which is the most troublesome thing."

Cao Cao said.

"Meng De, the people can't speak the Central Plains dialect, we must force them to speak the Central Plains dialect, there is no choice.

If you want to obtain a Central Plains household registration, you must speak the Central Plains dialect. This is the minimum basic condition. When formulating various policies, you can issue some relevant local treaties, and those who can speak the Central Plains dialect will be given priority in hiring and promotion."

Qin Qi said.

"To rejuvenate the country, water from afar cannot quench our thirst. Next, we will leave a large army in Ile City, and supplies cannot be solved in the short term!"

Lao Cao said.

hehe!

"Meng De, let's consider finding ways to solve the supply problem in the short term. When the transportation joint construction is completed in the future, it will be completely solved. Don't worry."

Qin Qi said.

oh!

"Xingbang, is there any good way?"

Cao Cao asked.

"Mengde, you only saw that the land in this area is fertile and can be used to grow crops. This is a fact.

At this stage, the races living here basically make a living by raising cattle and sheep. They can be said to be nomadic races.

We can select some civilians and capture them specifically to engage in breeding for our army/army. This can solve the short-term supply problem.

Didn’t we seize a lot of cattle and sheep during the campaign? Because the journey was long, the merchants accompanying the army were unwilling to purchase them.

Let us set up a farm under the cavalry division to specialize in breeding and planting, and provide corresponding treatment, which can solve the problem of supplying soldiers in the short term."

Qin Qi said.

Lao Cao nodded.

"Mengde, after the military officials took office, how did the local people react?"

Qin Qi said.

Hahaha!

Lao Cao smiled.

"When the country was rejuvenated, the military and civil servants took office. At first, the people did not support us, thinking that we were foreign invaders.

We will open warehouses to store grain, distribute some of the captured cattle and sheep to the people for free, and add civil servants to do ideological work, and slowly accept our rule."

Cao Cao said.

As the conquest army deepened, the caravans that originally accompanied the army also left one after another.

There was nothing we could do about it. The journey was far away, and merchants bought the trophies from the army and could not transport them back to the Central Plains.

The businessman is seeking profit, but there is no profit, and the businessman will definitely leave. After acquiring a large amount of materials that cannot be cashed in, who would foolishly follow the army/movement?

"Xingbang, Suli and tens of thousands of Xianbei people under his command, they robbed along the way and brought misery to the races and people along the way.

At present, Suli and the Xianbei people under his command have escaped from Ile City and are heading to the Western World to kill them."

Cao Cao said.

hehe!

"Mengde, okay! Our goal is to let the Xianbei people escape to the Western world to cause harm.

Don't stay in the East and harm the people of the Central Plains. When the time comes, let the Western world have a good drink and taste the scimitar of the Xianbei people."

Qin Qi said.

Cao Cao frowned slightly.

"Xingbang, Xianbei people and Suli are just defeated soldiers. What can they accomplish by escaping to the Western world?"

Cao Cao said.

"Mengde, never underestimate the adaptability of grassland people. Maybe Suli and other Xianbei people will be more successful in the Western world.

It is impossible to say that we will change the world. This has nothing to do with us. As long as Xuri and other prairie people do not stay in the east, our goal will be achieved."

Qin Qi said.

Cao Cao didn't believe Qin Qi's words. After all, Su Li and others were just defeated soldiers. How could they have a good result?

"Mengde, do you remember the Huns during Emperor Wu's time? The Northern Huns were defeated by Emperor Wu, and the remnants fled to the Western world. They established a country in the West. Unexpectedly!"

Qin Qi said.

The remnants of the Huns were defeated and fled to the west, turning the Western world upside down. It was the first time that Easterners invaded the Western world.

oh!

"Prospering a country, it's impossible for the Huns to really establish a country in the west!"

Cao Cao exclaimed.

"Mengde, it's true."

Qin Qi said.

"Xingbang, are you saying that there are extremely powerful empires such as Rome in the Western world, and their strength is not much weaker than our Central Plains empire."

Cao Cao asked.

"Mengde, the way of fighting is different, neither the Romans nor other Western races can adapt to it at once.

You also know that the Huns have no place to live. They rob a place and leave immediately. Their whereabouts are unpredictable and it is difficult to catch them."

Qin Qi said.

Cao Cao nodded.

After drinking, Qin Qi returned to the room arranged by Lao Cao to rest.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Lord, Mr. Gongda is here."

Dian Wei Dao.

"Lao Dian, please bring Mr. Gongda in."

Qin Qi said.

"I've met my lord!"

Xun You cupped his fists.

"Mr. Gongda, please take a seat quickly."

Qin Qi said.

By the way, I took out a bottle of good wine, took out two wine glasses and filled them.

"Mr. Gongda, the weather is very cold. Let's drink some wine to warm ourselves up."

Qin Qi said.

"Thank you, lord!"

Xun You said.
