Lu Yi looked at the words on the paper, handed it to Xu Shu directly, and whispered: "Send someone to Xudu to mobilize Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen, and 20,000 cavalry."

Xu Shu took the paper, glanced at it, and looked at Lu Yi with some surprise: "King Wu, although the Huns were once foreign enemies, they are now considered our people."

"The Yellow Turbans rebelled before, and they traveled thousands of miles to put down the rebellion."

"Afterwards, because Yu Fuluo Shanyu was killed and Dong Zhuo rebelled again, they were trapped near Hedong County."

"When Li Jue and Guo Si kidnapped the emperor, the new Xiongnu chanyu Huchuquan sent King Youxian to lead the army and King Qin."

"Well, they ask for surrender, but we send troops. Isn't it appropriate?"

Lu Yi looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, then responded and rushed towards Wancheng.

Lu Yi looked a little strange as he watched Xu Shu leave.

He was just curious that Xu Shu would have such views on the Xiongnu, and had no plans to do anything to him.

Xu Shu actually got scared.

Have you changed?

Becoming scary?

It seems that I still have to talk to Xu Shu later.

Lu Yi didn't want to be the kind of loner with no one around him who he could talk to.

After Xu Shu left, Cao Cao stayed in front of the "graves" of Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, and Dian Wei for a long time before following Lu Yi and others back to Wancheng and gathered in the government office hall.

Xu Shu was also there at this time.

He had already arranged for men to go to Xudu and transfer Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen and 20,000 cavalry.

Lu Yi glanced at everyone and said, "I have called everyone together today. In addition to discussing the matter of returning to Wu County, I still have to discuss another matter with you."

Lu Yi glanced at Xu Shu and said: "That is, the Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan asked Taishi Ci who was stationed in Chang'an to surrender. However, his Youxian King was still leading his troops to burn, kill and loot outside the city, taking away women and babies. .”

"Tell me, gentlemen, how to deal with this matter?"

His eyes finally rested on Xu Shu, and Lu Yi smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi, you speak first."

After a pause, Lu Yi said: "I asked you to do something just now. I didn't tell you the reason. I didn't mean to refute you, but I asked you to arrange the manpower first. In this way, when the people come, we can also make two plans."

Xu Shu looked at Lu Yi in shock.

Facing Lu Yi's smile, a warm current surged through Xu Shu's heart.

Although King Wu's status has gradually risen, it seems that he is still the same head of the family and is not overly domineering and powerful.

Or, has your mentality changed?

Thinking of this, Xu Shu stood up and said: "Back to the King of Wu, I believe that this Xiongnu has always been part of my territory. The Yellow Turbans, Li Jue and Guo Si have all contributed to the rebellion."

"It is true that King Youxian is still doing wrong things."

"But if Chanyu is asking for surrender, they can change."

"Therefore, I feel that the King of Wu can accept the surrender, and then comfort them and order them to treat the people well in the future and not to burn, kill, and loot again."

Lu Yi nodded and did not respond. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "Everyone else, please share your opinion."

No one responded.

Lu Yi could only look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had defeated the Huns several times before.

In the original history, Cao Cao even divided the Xiongnu, specifically, this Xiongnu was called the Southern Xiongnu, into five parts, and placed Shanyu Huchuquan under house arrest in Yecheng as a guest.

The Huns have existed in name only since then.

However, the Eight Kings Rebellion occurred during the Western Jin Dynasty, and the court was in chaos, which led to the rise of Liu Yuan, son of Liu Bao, the left virtuous king of the Xiongnu, and kicked off the Five Husties' chaos in China.

Lu Yi frowned slightly when he thought of Wu Huan Hua.

He would not give the Huns and other foreigners any chance.

He has to be more radical than Cao Cao!

However, this has to be led out by Cao Cao.

Seeing Lu Yi looking at him, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and then said: "Although the Huns have long been classified as Han, they have always been evil and untamed."

"Although there were previous Yellow Turban rebellions, as well as Li Jue and Guo Si's rebellions, they all contributed."

"But they don't really care about the big man."

"They just want to use the strength of the Han Dynasty to calm down the internal crisis."

"They never really integrated themselves into the big men."

"Let's just say that the Yellow Turban rebellion started. Although they also used the banner of assisting the imperial court to quell the rebellion, they burned, killed and looted along the way."

"Moreover, it is also divided into two forces internally. One is willing to take the opportunity to seek help from the imperial court, and the other wants to take advantage of the decline of the Han's national power to get rid of its dependence on the Han."

"And among them, those who were willing to take the opportunity to ask for help from the imperial court, when they arrived in our territory of the Han Dynasty, they still did not regard other people as the same kind. Instead, they maintained the cruelty of their ancestors, burning, killing, looting, and massacring the people of various states and counties."

"Nowadays, the Xiongnu Chanyu calls Chuchuquan to ask for surrender, but King Youxian leads his army to burn, kill and loot outside the city. This is also true."

Looking at Xu Shu, Cao Cao said: "You can't have the slightest mercy when dealing with barbarians."

"Wolf cubs are not mature enough after all."

"Today the state of Wu is strong and powerful, so they naturally ask for surrender. However, this request for surrender is not sincere, but forced by the situation."

"If Wu really accepts their surrender, they will take the opportunity to demand more."

"For example, help them return to the vast grasslands of the Xiongnu, and help them defeat foreign enemies such as Xianbei."

"If we don't help then, once they return to the vast grasslands of the Xiongnu, they will have reason to completely sever relations with us and return to the appearance of foreign enemies before the Han Dynasty."

"We will help when the time comes. We have lost our national strength, but they have defeated foreign enemies and merged with more powerful enemies. They will attack again in the future when we are in decline."

Xu Shu: "."

Cao Cao then looked at Lu Yi and said: "Now, although the Chanyu has asked to surrender, King Youxian is still burning, killing and looting. So, I think that we can use this as an excuse to lead the army to defeat King Youxian's cavalry first, and... For the strong ones, it’s best not to leave them alive.”

"Let the other Xiongnu tribes see the power of Wu and then order them to surrender."

"If they don't surrender, they will be completely destroyed!"

"Now that Zhao is in chaos, we have no other strong enemies, so we have an opportunity to fight."

"After they surrendered, we broke up the Xiongnu into various parts and placed them in various states and counties so that they could not care about each other. We forced them to integrate into the people of the Wu Kingdom, learn the culture of the Wu Kingdom, and finally become the people of the Wu Kingdom."

A smile appeared on Lu Yi's face.

Xu Shu's battles indeed became more and more powerful.

However, in this kind of politics, we are indeed still very young.

Moreover, it is a bit naive to think about it.

In this regard, Cao Cao is still great.

No wonder Xu Shao would evaluate Cao Cao as "a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times"!

Lu Yi looked at Xun You and said, "Gongda, what do you say?"

Xun You stood up, bowed and said, "In this regard, I agree with Duke Cao."

Lu Yi looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wen He!"

Jia Xu was still dozing off.

Seeing Lu Yi nodding his head, he could only stand up and say: "Old minister, I think what Mr. Cao said is true. However, it is not enough."

Lu Yi's expression perked up slightly.

This is Jia Xu.

In ancient history, there was not only the label of being wise and protecting oneself, but also the title of poisonous person.

He would like to hear how vicious Jia Xu would be in dealing with the Huns.

Hope he doesn't let himself down!

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Elaborate!"

Jia Xu said: "As Duke Cao said, the Xiongnu are wolf cubs that have not been raised well. Now when their strength is at its lowest, we should not have any mercy and give them a chance to repeat themselves in the future."

"First send troops to forcefully suppress King Youxian's cavalry, which burns, kills, and loots."

"Then King Wu personally ordered the Huns to surrender and accept any assignment unconditionally."

"With this division, it is best to completely break up the Xiongnu."

"I suggest that it can be divided into thirty-six parts, symbolizing the thirty-six caves of Taoism."

"Then, these thirty-six copies will be moved to the thirty-six counties in our territory."

"Among them, Kuaiji County and Changsha County in Jiangdong, Jianning County, Jiangzhou County, and Zitong County in Yizhou, Hanzhong, Xuzhou counties in the Central Plains, and Xudu in Yuzhou can all be moved."

"These places have gone through wars and have small populations. It's just right to fill them with Huns."

"After the thirty-six Xiongnu were moved to various states and counties, they were prohibited from intermarrying with the same ethnic group, and they were designated by the state and county governments to intermarry with the local people."

"At the same time, they are ordered to learn our court language and the local language."

Looking up at Lu Yi, Jia Xu said: "If things continue like this, in less than a hundred years, the threat from the Xiongnu will basically disappear."

"Of course, if the Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan does not agree, then we will take advantage of the fact that there is no war now and use all our strength to destroy him."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

"The Huns are such wolf cubs. Since they don't obey orders, let's cut off any possibility of them repeating themselves."

After a pause, Jia Xu added: "In the future, if the King of Wu wants to go on an expedition or go to sea to drive out the Tartars and capture the whole world, this should be the case."

"If they can accept the dispatch and surrender with all their heart, we will treat them with the courtesy of the common people of this dynasty."

"If you want to linger on, even lying on the firewood to wait for the right time, then destroy it!"

Jia Xu's words made the entire government office hall feel deathly quiet.

Everyone looked at Jia Xu with pale faces.

It's a little too cruel!

After all, in recent years, the Huns have become much more honest than before.

Think about how rampant the Huns were before the Qin and Han Dynasties?

Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have allowed Meng Tian to build the Great Wall.

Lu Yi looked at Jia Xu and couldn't help but want to kiss him.

This suggestion was his favorite!

In the past, all dynasties had a soft policy towards the Xiongnu, but that was because they were not strong enough.

Now that I am strong enough, why do I still need to be so benevolent and righteous to others?

He even agreed with a famous saying from later generations: "When guests come, there is wine; when there are wolves, there are shotguns!"

He will use these tactics to deal with this group of Huns, including the Qiang and Xianbei people he will face in the future!

Lu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at the others and said, "I think Wen He's plan is quite good. Of course, others have better plans, so you can tell them now."

"I'll give you half a stick of incense and time to think."

"After half a stick of incense, if there are no objections, we will follow Wen He's policy!"
