"Extraordinary achievements should be met with extraordinary people."

Sun Ce looked at Tian Chou with a smile, a little proud, but he did not dare to be careless. Speaking of this, Tian Chou only admitted that this idea was bold, and did not think it was feasible, nor did he volunteer. This is his prudence and his value. People are not sages, so who can do nothing? Tian Chou does not seek wealth or value, but he is a scholar after all, and he must have a desire to make achievements and leave a name for history. In the face of such achievements for thousands of years, he has not lost his mind. He agreed with it in one word, which is enough to show that his mind is firm and unique. As long as such a person determines a goal, he will be tenacious, with a beginning and an end. Even if he encounters difficulties, he will not give up easily.

With his assistance, Taishi Ci is like a tiger with wings, and Youzhou can feel at ease. Taishi Ci tried his best to help Tian Chou come to see him, and I guess he was also considering this. In front of a famous scholar like Tian Chou, Taishi Ci was somewhat unconfident, so he asked him to take action.

"Your Majesty is wrong, and Chou is grateful. It's just that Qianqiu's achievements are difficult to achieve quickly, and it is not a person's ability to do it." Tian Chou shook his head slowly, put his hands in his sleeves, and his expression was entangled. "I still feel that it's a bit hasty to put Wuhuan people as an affiliate, and it's probably difficult to accomplish anything."

"You're right, this is indeed not easy."

Tian Chou blinked and looked at Sun Ce. He didn't know whether Sun Ce really agreed with his point of view or was politely echoing. In his opinion, the latter was the most likely. After all, Sun Ce had been talking about turning Hu into Hua. Among the many Hu people in Youzhou, the Wuhuan people had the closest relationship with the Han people. To transform Hu naturally, we should start with the Wuhuan people.

"For hundreds of years, the Wuhuan people have moved from outside the border to the border. The rewards are increasing every year, and the tribal adults have become increasingly popular. They not only support the rebellion of the traitors, but also claim to be the throne. Where can they see the dynasty in the Central Plains? At this time, they will naturally not want to let their tribes become householders and seize their power to govern the tribes."

Sun Ce rubbed his fingers, frowned slightly, and said slowly. He was indeed a little scratching his head. Taishi Ci fought beautifully. He won four consecutive victories in less than half a month, and directly defeated the Eastern Xianbei. The speed was faster than his expectations and more surprising than Gongsun Du's surrender. But this also caused a consequence. The time was too short and the Wuhuan people did not participate in the war, so they might not feel it, let alone the loss. As the saying goes, the ignorant people are fearless. If they really raise an army to resist, it will inevitably be another fierce battle.

If he is not sure, it will be difficult to make a decision. However, since Taishici made this suggestion, he chose to believe Taishici's judgment. If it is wrong, it will be considered as paying the tuition fee.

"Is there a solution for the lord?"

"There are several plans, but none of them are fully confident." Sun Ce told his advice calmly. "So I'm still preparing for both. If the Wuhuan people are dissatisfied and rebelled, and the Taishi Ziyi is unable to support me, I will lead the army to Youzhou in person and fight another battle."

Tian Chou looked at Sun Ce with a calm expression and shivered involuntarily. Sun Ce spoke calmly, but the life and death of many people were unknown after the four words "one fight".

Sun Ce shook his hand and took the initiative to stop the topic. "This way, you have worked hard from afar, and I think you are tired. Why not take a break first. I will take a look at Ziyi's report first, consider it, and discuss it tomorrow, how about it?"

Tian Chou agreed. This matter cannot be solved in just one or two sentences, so it is not necessary to calm down first. Sun Ce asked Zhu Ran to take Tian Chou to rest, and then sent someone to invite Guo Jia. He opened the wooden box, took out Taishi Ci's battle story, and read it from scratch.

Not long after, Guo Jia came in wearing a sable fur and shaking his feather fan. Seeing that Sun Ce was reading the official documents, he didn't say anything and sat down aside. Zhu Ran took off the copper pot from the stove and poured a glass of water. Guo Jia threw the feather fan on the table, held the cup and sucked his hands, and looked at Sun Ce's expression while siping tea.

Sun Ce finished reading soon and handed the battle story to Guo Jia. Guo Jia took it and placed it on the table, but he didn't rush to read it. He said with a smile: "His Taishi Ziyi win?"

"Win." Sun Ce recalled the four battles of Taishi Ci and patted the table. "It's so exciting, it's so wonderful." He paused and said, "It's different from Zhou Gongjin's style, and it has another excitement."

"They are not the same type of people." Guo Jia spread the official document on the desk and said while looking at it: "Zhou Gongjin is a handsome young man who is proficient in music. He not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully. Taishi Ziyi is a magical archer. He has no turning back arrows when he shoots the bow. If he doesn't send it, he will win. Although he doesn't care about the form, his beauty is in it."

Sun Ce laughed twice, but did not answer Guo Jia's words. Guo Jia was reading the "Prajna Sutra" recently and liked to discuss these topics with others. Even his speech was a bit mysterious, with a clever look, and there were signs of metaphysics in later generations. But if you think about it carefully, Guo Jia's analysis was correct. Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci were indeed not the same type of people, and they each had their own advantages. Now that Taishi Ci is in the northern border, it will be up to the next step to see if Zhou Yu can make new contributions and catch up.

Guo Jia read the article very quickly, and the two sips of tea finished reading the battle record of more than twenty pages. He held the teacup and frowned. "It's too fast."

"What's too fast?"

"Taishi Ziyi won too quickly. He was like a slaughter of war and won consecutive victories. Although it was a good thing for the war itself, it was not good enough for the overall situation." Guo Jia took another sip of tea and said quietly: "If you don't say anything else, if Liu Bei invited him to help, would he go or not?"

Sun Ce's heart moved, glanced at Guo Jia and nodded. This was indeed a trouble. The current situation was the most beneficial to him. Liu Bei and Yuan Tan were confronting each other in Zhuo County, and no one could win. Taishi Ci defeated the Xianbei in the Eastern Region and solved his worries for Liu Bei. Liu Bei could continue to persevere, but if Liu Bei invited Taishi Ci to help, the balance between the two sides would be broken again, and Zhuo County would likely fall into Liu Bei's hands. Even if Liu Bei did not invite Taishi Ci to help, Yuan Tan might retreat after receiving the news.

Taishi Ci still lacked some trouble in power and had to give him two counselors. Although Tian Chou was talented, he could not help Taishi Ci in this regard.

"Fengxiao, please pick two people from the military plan to Youzhou."

Guo Jia nodded and agreed.

Sun Ce passed on the content of his discussion with Tian Chou to Guo Jia. After listening quietly, Guo Jia laughed twice. "It's often said that people say that Youzhou is chivalrous, but it's true. Unfortunately, he didn't read well, and he was a little unrealistic, and his brain wasn't flexible enough."

“For example?”

"If the Xianbei people find it difficult to subdue for a while, it makes sense. The Wuhuan people are not that difficult, especially the Wuhuan people in western Liaoning, Youbeiping and Liaodong vassal states." Guo Jia put down his teacup, picked up the feather fan and shook it. "Lord, the Wuhuan people have been subordinate to the Han Dynasty for many years and are no longer pure Hu people. They are just Confucian scholars in the court, and they don't know that they will change from time to time. They only know how to talk big, how many have seen real Hu people?"

Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Guo Jia not to rush to attack the Confucian scholar. "Are you saying that the Wuhuan of the Three Counties may accept our request?"

"It is impossible to let them directly accept it. This is to give up their direct control over the tribe and become a marquis who eat fiefs but do not govern the people. However, compared with life and death, I believe they know how to choose. Even if a few people escape to the grassland, it is okay to compare it. When those people climb ice and snow on the grassland, they are chased and panic like a broken dog, and cannot live in peace, all their resentment will naturally subside."

Sun Ce twisted his finger and smiled, "This is OK, it's just right to find something for Ziyi to do."

"There is another thing, lord, don't forget the couple of Yuan's women who married the Yuan family. If they handled it well, the role these women could play may be greater than Ziyi's Jingqin." Guo Jia laughed and said, "They came from the Yuan family and knew that the situation was hard to go against. Yuan Tan himself was unable to protect himself. Wuhuan of the three counties was forced to bow to Ziyi. Who else could they expect besides the lord? Yuan Shao sent them to marry for marriage, but they must not be willing, but because of the situation, they had to go. Now that the lord wants to turn Hu into Hua, they can regain their clothes and clothes. How can they refuse?"

Sun Ce thought it was feasible. In addition to believing in Taishici's ability, there was another reason why he tended to agree with Taishici's decision. As far as he knew, shortly after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Wuhuan people disappeared into the long river of history and did not appear as Duli's power. It should be that they merged with other ethnic groups. He had never found the reason. Thinking about it now, maybe it was what Guo Jia said that the Wuhuan people had been dependent on the Han people for too long and had been partially sinicized, but the fierce battle in the Central Plains was in full swing, and no one noticed this.

"Let Meng Gongwei go there." Guo Jia said: "He is both knowledgeable about power and good at speaking. He can stay with Ziyi as a counselor, and can also be a lobbyist if necessary."

Sun Ce smiled. "Okay, but before he goes, I want to check how many gifts he has given you, and he actually asked you to recommend him so explicitly."

Guo Jia laughed. "Lord, I'm just talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can choose a military strategy. Who is more suitable than him?"

Sun Ce knew Guo Jia's little thoughts, but Meng Jian was indeed suitable for this position. In terms of credit and qualifications, he should have been released, so there is no need to refute Guo Jia's face. Just click him and let him not do too much.

Gongsun Du has surrendered, and Gongsun Kang has arrived in a few days. Taishici quickly defeated the Xianbei people again, and it is no longer a problem to be in charge of the war zone. The matter in the eastern part of Youzhou has been decided, so he should consider returning to the Central Plains. The most important thing at the moment is two things: one is to convince Tian Chou as much as possible. As a few famous scholars in Youzhou, having him assisted Taishici and contacted the Youzhou family will be beneficial to stabilizing Youzhou in the future. The second is to transport the large number of war horses seized by Taishici back, which is the biggest gain this year. With those war horses, he can form more cavalry to make up for his long-standing shortcomings.

Sun Ce asked Guo Jia to arrange some preparations for the military planning department first, and invite Tian Chou to participate at that time, so that he could see the huge advantages of group strategy, accept the arrangements for the Chineseization of the Wuhuan people, and then arrange ships, use the weak wind power to rush to western Liaoning to receive war horses. Tens of thousands of war horses require several trips to the tower ships, and choosing the best route can save a lot of time.

Guo Jia was happy to obey orders.
