As Ye Zhao expected the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians, Zhuti's large-scale migration of the Zhurong tribe was undoubtedly a dangerous signal for the leaders in the Southern Barbarians.

The Zhurong tribe and Guan Yu had a marriage relationship. In addition, the two generations of cave masters died one after another. The contemporary cave master married the Han people, which allowed the Zhurong tribe to integrate into the Han circle in a relatively peaceful way.

However, the influx of a large number of Zhurong tribes not only brought the rapid development opportunity to the originally inconspicuous Zhuti County, but also made Zhuti County a city where the Han people and barbarians most frequently communicated with each other in the southern middle.

At the beginning of the year, some officials sent by Ye Zhao who were more proficient in business opened a market here, which was interrelated with the ethnic groups in the South Central. People from each cave could buy some things that were difficult to obtain in the mountains, such as some exquisite food or clothes with their own characteristics. It was not limited to Han people's clothing. The tailors sent here would help them sew some clothes with great ethnic characteristics according to their requirements. Simple weapons are not prohibited here. Although crossbows are strictly prohibited, barbarians can still buy some iron weapons here, most of which were eliminated from the army. However, for the ethnic groups in the South Central, it is still much better than the weapons they originally used.

Originally, opening trade and sharing of whether there are or not is a good thing for the Southern Barbarians. They can exchange fur and medicinal materials that can be seen everywhere. In addition, Zhurong City has special vendor supervision, prohibiting black-hearted vendors from deceived or using inferior products as good ones to make huge profits, so that the Nanman people who came here can exchange it at a reasonable price. The only troublesome thing is that they must exchange the fur and herbs in their hands with Han coins before they can buy them.

Even in the four counties of Jianning, Yueli, Yongchang and Jinghua, which live with the Han and Barbarians, there are few such cities that specifically set up laws for the barbarians and treat the barbarians with such a fair attitude. Therefore, after Guan Yu settled the Zhurong tribe and began to accept other barbarians, a large number of barbarians began to hope to be a foregone conclusion here.

Zhuti and the two newly built cities that have not been completely completed are built on the mountain. The barbarians nearby can settle here, and then go to the mountains to hunt and gather medicine, and they can also be more stable.

However, such a thing is a good thing for ordinary barbarians, but it may not be a good thing for the ruling class of the 36 holes in the South Central.

The Bana Cave and the Yi people, which are adjacent to Zhurong Cave, can clearly detect that the tribe members are losing at a speed of sight during this year.

The more backward the place, the more obvious the class is. When those tribes at the bottom and who belong to the exploited class find that they are weaker in other places than in their own tribes, can live a more stable and comfortable life than they are now, and do not need to spend any cost, they will naturally choose the side that is easier to survive.

At the same time, Zhu Ti's rise was equivalent to sucking the flesh and blood of the four counties of Jianning, Yongchang, Jingwan and Yueli.

Before this, if Shuzhong needed some unique herbs or fur and wood in Nanzhong, they could only obtain them through the four counties of the gentry and business trips, and they could start prices. During the sudden rise of Zhuti County this year, the fair market planning and system attracted a large number of barbarian populations, and invisibly took away many Cai Mansions, which originally belonged to them.

Not only that, the barbarians far from Zhuti among the four counties also began to ask the governors of the four counties to trade fairly with them in trade according to Zhuti County.

This is obviously an impossible thing. In the eyes of the gentry, stupid barbarians are just tools for them to earn generous rewards, so it is naturally impossible to do things that increase their own costs.

Moreover, Zhu Ti is on the border between South Central and Central. Even if they refuse, these barbarians living deep in the southern border will not be able to travel thousands of miles to Zhu Ti for exchanges. But the most important thing is that Shu Zhong’s demand for the four counties in South Central has greatly decreased with the emergence of Zhu Ti, and they can no longer start the price as they did in the past.

They can treat the barbarians with a tough attitude, because these stupid barbarians must rely on them for survival supplies. However, when facing Shu County, they naturally cannot be as tough as they treat the barbarians, but they are unwilling to accept the large losses of their interests. This ultimately led to the four counties joining forces with the 36 caves in the southern border to take action.

Although the tribes of the southern border were dissatisfied with the attitude of sucking the price of the four counties and continuing to suck their blood, a character attracted Ye Zhao's attention in this alliance between the four counties and the Southern Barbarians.

Meng Huo played a very important role in this incident. It was he who lobbled the various holes and pushed the root of all problems to Ye Zhao. The general Zhu Ti explained the threat to the ruling class of all races, which led to the incident of the Southern Barbarian invasion. In this regard, Meng Huo was undoubtedly an excellent diplomatic talent. Although he did not know the specific situation, through some friendly forces of the Zhurong clan, Ye Zhao could roughly infer Meng Huo's strategy.

Alerting the alarmist and coercion and inducement, exaggerating Zhu Ti's threat. In fact, the biggest threat to Zhu Ti's growth is only a few holes such as Bana Cave, which will not have much impact on farther places.

Although Ye Zhao was indeed planning to gradually stretch his hands deep into the southern Xinjiang after the completion of Zhuti construction, if there were no such incident, Ye Zhao would use a relatively peaceful means to conquer southern Xinjiang, including the four counties in Nanzhong.

However, this time the aristocrats of the four counties also gave Ye Zhao a chance to eliminate them.

The four counties took action this time a bit suddenly. At least Guan Yu did not react, so he took Zhurong City first through the war that had infiltrated into Zhurong City in advance.

Zhu Ti had five thousand elite soldiers transferred from Jianwei. Guan Yu led his army to fight immediately after the city of Zhurong was broken and defeated the vanguard troops of the four counties, without allowing them to expand their results.

Chengdu, Cavalry Mansion.

"Now the army is scattered everywhere to assist in construction. If you want to gather, it will probably take at least three months. The 20,000 defenders in Chengdu can go to war at any time. However, in this way, the guards of Chengdu will inevitably be empty!" Zhang Su reported the current situation to Ye Zhao one by one. Now the entire Shuzhong to Hanzhong are in a busy construction, especially the autumn harvest has ended, and more labor can be released to be put into construction. The army not only needs to help with transportation, but also be responsible for maintaining order. The migrant people of Guanzhong have now expired one after another, and the army needs to be responsible for taking care of the troops and sending them to various places. Even if they give up all the gathering of troops, they cannot be gathered in a short time.

"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses, leaving five thousand. Zhuti also has five thousand soldiers and horses with Yun Chang, a total of 20,000 troops, which is enough!" Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"But this time the Southern Barbarians invaded, gathering troops from four counties, claiming to be a 100,000 army. Even if there is no 100,000, there will be 80,000 people. The lord only carries 20,000 troops. Is it a bit too careless?" Qin Mi stood up and bowed.

"Zi Le didn't read the information seriously!" Ye Zhao pointed to the big map behind him and said, "This Southern Barbarian invasion, the one who is fighting with Yun Chang is Jianning, the Yi tribe, with about 30,000 people. In addition, Yongchang is 20,000, 10,000, Yueli, 8,000, and 36 caves in the southern border, totaling 10,000. These men and horses are not gathered together, and are on the way. So what we have to face this time is actually only 30,000,000, with the 30,000 troops from Jianning and Yi tribes, with Zhuti territory and the support of Zhurong tribe, and 20,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to defeat these 30,000 mobs, how unconfidence is Zi Le in me, so he thinks that I cannot win?"

"Lord, forgive me!" Qin Mi bowed and heard this.

Ye Zhao has not taken action for several years, but more of it shows his talent in internal affairs. So few people in Shu know that his lord still thinks that he had become famous ten years ago.

"You kidding, Zile doesn't have to take it to heart." Ye Zhao knocked on the table and smiled: "I have been in Sichuan for three years, and there has been no war during this period. Although it is stable, it is easy to suck people's fighting spirit. This invasion of the Southern Barbarians may not be a bad thing for us."

"I wonder who is the general of the lord in this battle?" Xi Zhicai bowed and said.

"Zhicai stayed in Cheng/Du, and Wenyou assisted. This time, he went to the expedition to not only repel the southern barbarians, but also to conquer the four counties in Nanzhong. In addition, the trial of Zhuti's system has ended and the effect is remarkable. I want to promote it in the four counties, which may last for a long time. During my entry into Nanzhong, Zhicai governor Bashu, Hanzhong government affairs, Man Chong, and Xiahou Lan led the Law Department to supervise the government affairs in various places. The rule of law should not be loose. If there is any indecision, he can order the flying boat to report to me quickly. Fang Yue stayed in Cheng/Du, Ding Li, Guan Hai, Dian Wei, Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Meng Hu, Zhang Ren, Guan Ping, Gan Ning, Wu Yi to follow the army, and the rest of the soldiers continued to do their duties. They should not leave their posts without orders." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath. Although Ye Zhao didn't mobilize many troops this time, almost all the generals in Shu followed Ye Zhao to fight. Even the newly promoted Zhang Ren, Gan Ning and Guan Ping had to follow the army. In addition, the two generals Guan Yu and Zhou Cang on the front line, this time, this time, it can be said that all the elite troops in Shu were born.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and said, "I have one person who can recommend the lord."

"Oh?" Ye Zhao's eyes lit up and he looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "I don't know who it is?"

"The lord also knows it, that is Huang Quan and Huang Gongheng!" Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Although this person has been in the lord's command for a short time, he has a sharp mind and a moderate plan, and... he dares to give advice directly, and may be able to help the lord with one hand."

He had known Ye Zhao for a long time, so he naturally knew Ye Zhao's ability. Even if he didn't bring any strategists around him, the four counties in the South Central and the 36 caves of the South Barbarians might not be able to deal with Ye Zhao. But after all, he was a personal expedition, so Xi Zhicai felt that Ye Zhao should still bring a strategist around him.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded, "I know the meaning of ambition and talent, so let him follow the army."
