Winter is long and short.

Another spring has arrived.

Zhao Kuo led five thousand Chiyou's army and set out north in a mighty manner.

Since this time we went to the Donghu to suppress the rebellion, most of the troops were recruited in the north of Zhao State, not in Handan.

This time, Zhao Kuo mobilized a total of 10,000 cavalry from the northern border cavalry, plus the "garrison army" composed of 10,000 Huns and the Donghu tribes, as well as Zhao Kuo's own 5,000 Chiyou army, a total of 25,000 cavalry.

This number is actually not large, but it is undoubtedly more than enough to quell the rebellion.

Half a month later, Zhao Kuo formally assembled all his troops and began to march into Donghu County.

Soon, the army arrived in Donghu County and fought with a rebellious tribe.

The 25,000 army can almost be said to have wiped out this tribe with only a few thousand people without any effort.

Zhao Kuo stood up on his horse, calmly looking at the leader of the Donghu tribe who was kowtowing in front of him who was shouting loudly, frowned at Li Mu beside him and said, "What are he talking about?"

Li Mu listened for a while and said, "Return to the Lord, he said that the reason he surrendered to the Presbyterian Church of the Donghu tribe was just because the Presbyterian Church was too powerful and did not really want to betray Da Zhao.

Now that the Lord Lord has led the Great Zhao Tianshang soldiers to kill him, he is willing to return to the Lord Lord and become the most loyal minister of the Great Zhao."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that there would be such a flatterer among the Donghu. Kill me."

Without any hesitation, Li Mu raised the crossbow in his hand directly.

With a whoosh, the Donghu clan leader fell to the ground and died instantly.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Send the order and use everyone in this tribe as spoils and distribute it to the meritorious soldiers of the garrison after the war."

Zhao Kuo's orders were passed, and a burst of cheers suddenly rang out.

The garrisons were all composed of the Xiongnu and Donghu people who were loyal to Zhao. These nomads actually didn't care about any ethnic issues at all, let alone raised butchers' knives to those who were the same race before.

The grassland is a very cruel place, and it is already an extremely difficult thing to survive.

If you can make yourself live a better life, then what's the big deal if you kill all other tribes of the same race?

Li Si, who was following Zhao Kuo, was obviously a little surprised: "Isn't the lord quite gentle when he conquered the Donghu war last time? Why is it so strict this time?"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li Si and felt a little disappointed.

Could it be that Li Si has placed all his abilities on political struggles and has no understanding of the governance of the local area?

Perhaps, it might be better to let Han Fei be the county magistrate of Donghu County... This time, Zhao Kuo won the great victory over Le Cheng not only because he gained the power of the chief general, but also took over the position of county magistrate of Donghu County.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Kuo decided to let Li Si take up this position.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "The barbarians fear power but do not lose virtue.

Previously, this marquis first destroyed their main force to let these Donghu people know the power of the Great Zhao, and then used soft methods to convince the Donghu people.

It’s a pity that this marquis’s methods were destroyed by Le Cheng’s stupid clan brother. The Donghu people in Donghu County have obviously become unfaithful to Da Zhao again.

Under such circumstances, Da Zhao must once again suppress Donghu with iron-blooded means in order to make Donghu honest again.

As for the next Huairou, it is the task of you as a county magistrate, and it has nothing to do with this marquis.”

Only then did Li Si realize it and said, "The Lord is wise!"

Turning his head, Li Si was secretly surprised.

Because Zhao Kuo's words had already been said to Li Si before he left.

The person who said this was Han Fei! Li Si was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect that my junior brother's understanding of the Lord's mind had reached such a level. It was really amazing!"

Thinking of this, Li Si became more and more afraid of Han Fei before he knew it.

Judging from Zhao Kuo's current positioning as a major confidant, Li Si believes that if Zhao Kuo seizes power, the first prime minister is likely to be Xu Li, and the second prime minister should have emerged among Li Si and Han Fei.

Han Fei... A cold light gradually flashed through Li Si's gaze.

I, Li Si, worked hard for so many years, just to reach the top of a minister?

You, don’t block my way! The situation in Donghu County is not very good.

The elders of Donghu chose a very clever time to rebel. Due to winter, the elders were able to have three full months to join forces and provoke disagreements among various tribes in Donghu County, with the intention of making more tribes betray Zhao State.

And they did do this. Nearly fifty Donghu tribes betrayed Zhao State one after another and announced their return to the rule of the Donghu Presbyterian Church.

Ironically, most of these tribes that betrayed Zhao State came from the tribes that were adjusted when Le Yu, the governor of Donghu County, during his tenure. On the contrary, most of the tribe leaders of the Donghu tribe appointed by Zhao Kuo did not rebel and continued to insist on their allegiance to Zhao State.

"Silly, so stupid!"

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Kuo could only shake his head speechlessly.

If Le Yu was not doing anything in Donghu County, it would be impossible for Le Yu to easily drive the elders of Donghu tribes from Zhao State with the support of these hundred large and small Donghu tribes in Donghu County.

It was originally a great contribution that came to the door, but Leyu made him ruined his reputation. There was no such pig teammate.

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while and said lightly to Li Si beside him: "Li Si, you must learn from Le Yu's lesson.

If you also make such a stupid mistake as Leyu in Donghu County, this marquis will not protect you."

Although Li Si is very famous in history, history is history and reality is reality.

Zhao Kuo's goal in his heart is very lofty, and what is needed to support this lofty goal is a capable minister. If Li Si cannot show enough ability, what's the use for him?

Li Si hurriedly said, "I remember it."

Please rest assured, I will definitely manage Donghu County!"

While speaking, Xu Li walked in and reported another news to Zhao Kuo: "Master, there are several Donghu people outside, claiming to be the envoys of the Donghu Presbyterian Church, and want to talk to the Lord!"

"messenger?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "How dare these Donghu elders send envoys?

Bring people in, let me see what they have to say!”
