In fact, for Liu Fan in Nanzhong, it is like the password Cao Mengde later said in Hanzhong.

"Small ribs!"

It’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw it away.

If you want to attack such barren land in Nanzhong, the financial and civilian power will be extremely expensive, but this consumption cannot be proportional to the benefits obtained.

Like the issue that Liu Fan has been considering, it is obvious that I can only develop Bashu and raise soldiers. Why do I insist on attacking Nanzhong and plundering the population there?

Unless I urgently need a group of elite soldiers now, but I cannot provide them in the territory for a while, so I can only turn my attention to the sparsely populated southern barbarians, but they are all fierce.

As we all know, the Southern Barbarians are brave and fearless. If you give him a knife, he will dare to fight with you. If you give him a pair of vine armor, he will be able to fight with the iron cavalry. This is the benefit of the Southern Barbarians. If you don’t need training, you will have the will to be brave and fierce.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Fan finally sighed. Seeing him hesitated, Fa Zheng also thought of the problem of Nanzhong. In his opinion, there is really no need to mobilize troops against Nanzhong at the moment.

Because this is indeed a thankless thing, a large number of soldiers and manpower were sent to fight. As a result, the southern barbarians leaped into the mountains, and you had no choice but to take them. In the end, you could only retreat from the southern center.

"Lord, I don't think there is any need to consider this matter. With the vast territory and sparse population of Nanzhong, our army will inevitably lose material resources after advancing. Even if it is conquered, there will be no real gains that can be effective immediately. The reason why the lord wants to conquer southern Xinjiang is nothing more than to make them surrender to the general's governance, shock them with the flow, and let them not cause trouble in the future."

As a wise man, although Fa Zheng usually laughs, when he encounters something, he analyzes the pros and cons without any ambiguity. "In fact, these are all small things. The lord only needs to send a person who is good at speaking and speaking to the Southern Central Committee to persuade these barbarian leaders to surrender, and then send a general to station in the southern border. As long as the barbarians have abnormal movements, they will immediately lead troops to suppress them. Over time, the southern barbarians will be afraid of the deterrence of our Central Plains and dare not offend them easily."

Fa Zheng quickly gave suggestions on the possible harms and solutions to the Southern Barbarians. Liu Fan listened to his suggestions and quietly fell into thinking. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Fa Zheng's suggestions. The state prefecture was troublesome to conquer the Southern Barbarians, and the barbarians in the south felt that your state prefecture was unreasonable.

If you have nothing to do, send troops to wipe out to prevent future troubles; if you have something to do, come to wipe out and eliminate the roots.

The barbarians in the South China have been provoking you. They are originally living a good life on their own land. You have to come and beat others, and even point at others' noses and say you are disobedient.

The barbarians in the south are also helpless. If there is a good thing that only surrenders and does not fight, I believe that the barbarians in the south are willing to recognize the power of the pastoral government in the north.

"If I just simply let the barbarians in the south of China admit it, I think it may not be stable for a long time." After thinking for a while, Liu Fan said in a deep voice.

When Fa Zheng first heard Liu Fan's words, he was stunned, and then he recovered a little. "What is the lord's meaning, is it necessary to limit the development of tribes of various ethnic groups in the South Central?"

Nodding, Liu Fan said in a deep voice: "Actually, I want them to be able to move from the mountains and forests and live a farming life like people in the plains?"

Frowning, Fa Zheng knew that Liu Fan wanted to transform all these southern barbarians into population power. But this was undoubtedly extremely difficult for the southern barbarians who were used to life in the mountains and forests. If forced, it would definitely cause a rebound.

Shaking his head, Fa Zheng was also helpless, "Nanman has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and his ancestors have been used to such a life. If they suddenly become farming, they will definitely not want to!"

After seeing Fa Zheng who was a little embarrassed, Liu Fan nodded and said nothing. In fact, when he put forward this opinion, he had already had a preliminary plan in his mind. Although this plan is currently immature, he would have made more arrangements in the future, and it would be possible to achieve it.

In fact, what Liu Fan thought of was not many methods for later generations. It was the method used by Zhuge Ke of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period to deal with the people of Shanyue. He blocked the passes everywhere and trapped all the mountain people who were unwilling to go down the mountain to surrender on the mountain, and then set fire to burn them so that they had no food.

In the end, due to hunger, they could only go down the mountain obediently. After going down the mountain, they selected people who knew how to govern and used the barbarians to manage the barbarians. In this way, they had less resistance. In addition, the life at the foot of the mountain was not as oppressed as they thought. After this lasted for decades, they would automatically transform from mountain people into farmer people.

However, the premise of this method is to know that the fortress passes in the mountains can be sent to block the mountains in time, drive them to the target mountains, block the mountains and burn the forests, and isolate their supply sources. Without food, they will eventually come out by themselves.

Of course, what Liu Fan needs to do now is to establish a good relationship with them first.

After meditating for a while, Liu Fan turned his head to look at Fa Zheng and asked, "Who can Xiaozhi recommend Xiaozhi to go to Nanzhong to discuss with the barbarian leaders?"

Upon hearing this, Fa Zheng was silent for a moment before he slowly replied: "There is someone in his heart who may not only give him worries, but also bring him back to the terrain map of the South Central!"

His eyes lit up in an instant, and Liu Fan was a little expectant, "Who is it?"

"Zhang Song, Zhang Ziqiao!" At that moment, Fa Zheng smiled and replied: "Lord, do you still remember this person's ability to remember everything you see, and is very good at depicting mountains, rivers and geographic maps. If this person is an envoy and goes to Nanzhong, you can express the sincerity of our Muslim Mansion to the barbarians in the South China, and you can use it to explore their reality and reality."

"But, I remember Zhang Songruo well, I am from the Zhang family in Chengdu?" Liu Fanyi pointed at Fa Zheng.

Seeing his eyes, Fa Zheng also understood what he meant, so why Fa Zheng could be in line with Liu Fanzhi. It was entirely due to their personalities. He would repay the kindness of water with a spring of water, and he would repay the little things in jealousy.

At this time, Liu Fan was still anxious about the assassination that Zhang Song and Shen Mi conspired with each other when they first entered Chengdu. Later, Fa Zheng had already learned about that matter from Gan Ning. At that time, Zhang Song and Shen Mi were in a mutual use relationship.

Shen Mi wanted Zhang Song to help him stabilize other wealthy families in Chengdu, and Zhang Song wanted to borrow Shen Mi's affairs to offer them to the provincial governor as a grant for promotion.

But unexpectedly, this incident in the end made Gan Ning unintentionally disturb. Later, Zhang Song left the matter unresolved, but Liu Fan, who knew that Zhang Song might be involved in the matter, did not give him any good face.

The Zhang family has been trembling in Chengdu this year. Whenever there is a heroic turmoil, the door will be closed, and they will firmly isolate the possible relationship with the rebels.

Fa Zheng had a period of time to master the secret sting and investigated the Zhang family. Later, the results were indeed the case, so he no longer suspected the Zhang family. During this period, Fa Zheng could often hear their praise for Zhang Song during his contact with the gentry in Yizhou.

Although he was not good at appearance, his talent and knowledge were absolutely extraordinary. Therefore, Fa Zheng also paid attention to Zhang Song and found that he did have some abilities, so he thought of a suitable opportunity to recommend it to Liu Fan.

"Mr. Zhongxuan had secretly sent someone to check the incident before, and it really had nothing to do with the Zhang family. It was just that Zhang Song thought about it for a while, and later Zhang Ziqiao was silent for a long time because of this matter. Now that the lord has officially taken charge of Yizhou, he should show the demeanor of a talented person. If Zhang Ziqiao is really talented, the lord might as well use it!"

After looking at Fa Zheng who sincerely advised him, Liu Fan couldn't help but mutter, isn't the historical books a person who says that Fa Xiaozhi is a vengeful person? Why did he never experience the talent in this life without being treated like a talent, so his whole temperament has become open-minded?

He lowered his head and nodded. Seeing that Liu Fan did not say anything for a long time, Fa Zheng looked up and met Liu Fan's confused eyes. His eyes moved slightly and he quickly lowered his head and bowed and explained: "Lord, don't misunderstand. I am just a talented person for the Lord, and I have never had any relationship with the Zhang family!"

Looking at Fa Zheng who was suddenly nervous, Liu Fan was stunned at first, then couldn't help but laugh and joked: "It turns out that Xiaozhi was also afraid that I would doubt it? Do you think that after becoming the governor of Yizhou, my relationship is not as good as before?"

"Zheng dare not!" Nodded again, but Fa Zheng did not dare to go beyond the rules. "The lord is now the lord of Yizhou. He will fight the world in the future and should maintain his own majesty. Since Zheng has become a subordinate of the lord, he hopes that the lord can go further and higher and higher!"

He was slightly stunned. After a long time, Liu Fan suddenly smiled freely, reached out and patted Fazheng on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, I don't know you Fa Xiaozhi. You clearly saw that you sent a messenger in the brocade to investigate Meng Da. He felt scared in his heart, so he showed such respect. Forget it, you always accompany me, how could I not know you?"

With emotion, Liu Fan continued: "Besides, you are different from Meng Da!"

As he said softly, Fa Zheng didn't care about Liu Fan's feelings. After all, he was already smiling and raising his head, "Then I'll let someone call Zhang Ziqiao over?"

Waving his hand, Liu Fan said lightly: "Please inform him directly to go to the provincial governor's mansion!"

"Here!" He bowed and accepted the order, and then Fa Zheng and Liu Fan rushed to Chengdu City together.

When he arrived at the Mu Mansion, Zhang Song had arrived, and Xu Huang and Wei Yan were also summoned. For the first time, the Mu Mansion in Yizhou was summoned by Liu Fan with a formal communication, and Wei Yan was still a little nervous.

Until he entered the Mu Mansion and saw that there were other people, he felt a little better. However, when he saw Xu Huang again, Wei Yan was still feeling a little worried. Last time Liu Fan said that when he could defeat Xu Huang and Pang De and when he could take him to Guanzhong, Wei Yan was impatient to prove himself.

So, Wei Yan, who thought he was still in the battle of the siege, ran to Xu Huang's camp rashly and challenged him. First, he was taught a lesson by Xu Huang's soldiers guarding the gate. He was not the opponent of more than a dozen strong soldiers alone.

Moreover, he did not use a big sword at that time, so it was normal for Wei Yan, who was not as strong as theirs, to be suppressed. However, Wei Yan was not convinced by these big and thick-sized men, and later the garrison soldiers reported to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang heard that the provincial governor sent him to challenge him, so he took time to see him. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan was so arrogant that he was so arrogant that he didn't know the tiger. He raised his sword and pointed at Xu Huang and wanted to fight him one-on-one.

In order to satisfy his wish, Xu Huang found a clearing space to test his skills. After all, Liu Fan's personal guard label was indeed hung around his waist. Xu Huang had never competed with the young man Liu Fan brought back from Jingzhou.

The last boy who was so arrogant in front of him was finally tied up and beaten and threw him into the woodshed.

So Wei Yan was honored to compete with Xu Huang for three rounds, no more or less, only three rounds, and Wei Yan's sword was split by Xu Huang's big axe. Wei Yan's face was red, his arms trembled, and he closed his lips and stared at Xu Huang, unable to speak for a long time.

Later, Xu Huang asked his entourage to send him back.

Looking at Wei Yan, Xu Huang didn't say much. Xu Huang was quite optimistic about this young man. At this age, it would be difficult to find a second one in Yizhou where he took over his three tricks at the same time.

Even if Ma Chao was in Guanzhong, if he had a simple battle in the field, he would probably not feel good even if he took over Xu Huang's three tricks.

He obediently shrank to a corner and sat down. Wei Yan had learned a lot of lessons since he saw the courage of the heroes in the world.

At this time, Liu Fan also strode in. At first glance, he saw Wei Yan sitting at the door with his head down. At that moment, Liu Fan couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Why has Wen Chang been so honest after he has been practicing in the army for more than a month?"

"I've seen my lord!" Wei Yan didn't dare to be arrogant anymore with a embarrassed smile.

Looking at Xu Huang who was not angry and powerful not far away, Liu Fan seemed to understand that this kid must have gone to find Xu Gongming to fight alone. He raised his hand and signaled that Xu Huang didn't need much politeness. Liu Fan looked at Zhang Song and smiled and said, "Zi Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time! Do you know what happened to me calling you today?"

He looked serious and Zhang Song was respectful. Although Liu Fan smiled at him, he could not smile with Liu Fan. After all, Zhang Song knew that Liu Fan was a very cruel person.

"I am stupid and it is really hard to know what the general called me to come."

After taking a seat, Liu Fan also signaled everyone to sit down, then stared at Zhang Song and said, "I had thought about a major event in the state. Just when no one was available, Fa Xiaozhi recommended you to me, so I want to ask if I would like to do it?"

After glanced at Fa Zheng, Zhang Song looked at Liu Fan again, and said with a puzzled look: "I wonder what the general wants to send him down?"

"I want to send Zi Qiao to Nanzhong to be the envoy for me, and convince the barbarians in Nanzhong to surrender! Do Zi Qiao dare to take on this important task?" Liu Fan said to Zhang Song without going around in circles.

At that moment, Zhang Song's expression was also shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he said decisively: "Song is willing to share the worries for the general and go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhang Song knew that this was his best opportunity to successfully squeeze into the core of the new Yizhou Prime Minister's Government, so he would never let it go.
