Although the Nanman affairs are important, there is no need to let Li Xiang take over from the beginning. Li Xiang is going to let Zhuge Liang talk to the Nanman envoy first. After they have almost finished talking, that's when Li Xiang should take action.
After that, Li Xiang wrote an imperial edict and handed it to the young eunuch who was waiting for him, asking him to deliver the edict to Chen Qingzhi.
"Your Majesty wants me to pacify Nanzhong?" Chen Qingzhi looked in disbelief when he received the imperial edict.
"Yes, General Chen will assist Governor Wu in the expedition this time." The young eunuch was afraid that Chen Qingzhi would not remember it, so he repeated it again.
How can Chen Qingzhi say that if there is no rebellion in Nanzhong, how can I quell it? I can only accept the order.
"Isn't this good? It proves that His Majesty intends to cultivate you." Li Jing seemed to notice that Chen Qingzhi was a little uneasy and comforted him.
"Li Shangshu, it's not that I'm afraid of fighting the Southern Barbarians. It's just..." Chen Qingzhi hesitated.
"Just what?" Li Jing asked.
Chen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and told everything: "There has been no rebellion in Nanzhong recently. How could we suppress rebellion in the past?"
As the general of Yizhou, Chen Qingzhi knew the situation of the Southern Barbarians best. The Southern Barbarians, who had been exploited time and time again by Liu Che, wanted to launch another rebellion with their current strength.
Furthermore, there are already many Southern Barbarian generals in the Jin army system. After the war against Shu, the most powerful Southern Barbarians have now joined the Jin army system, such as Jiufeng, Jiuchong, Yushi, and Hei. Savage dragon.
Not to mention that there is one of the five concubines in the harem who was born as a saint of the Southern Barbarians. If the Southern Barbarians did not really rebel, but if Chen Qingzhi rashly sent troops, wouldn't this be equivalent to digging a hole for himself?
Therefore, after hearing this order, Chen Qingzhi felt worried!
"Qingzhi is worried too much. If we are not fully prepared, how can our army easily enter the Southern Barbarians! What's more, His Majesty and the ministers have always wanted to peacefully resolve the Southern Barbarians problem!" Li Jing shook his head at this time.
"Qingzhi, after all, the Southern Barbarians have complex factions, and the cave masters are not in harmony with each other. Moreover, our army has fought many battles with the Southern Barbarians, and there are many enemies! If the Southern Barbarians surrender, it is inevitable that there will be people who are dissatisfied! At that time, if there is an opportunity, If trouble occurs, Qingzhi can cooperate with the army of Governor Wu to suppress it. This will quell the rebellion!" Li Jing saw the troubled expression on Chen Qingzhi's face and could only remind him.
With so many factions in the Southern Barbarians, it was normal for them to have different opinions. Li Xiang had never thought that no one in the Southern Barbarians would object to surrendering to him. This kind of thing is simply unrealistic. Chen Qingzhi's trip was just to use thunderous means to kill the chicken and respect the monkey at the critical moment.
After all, more than half of the people of the former White Robe Army were retained at that time. The current White Robe Army was formed based on the White Robe Army at that time.
In other words, most of Chen Qingzhi's White Robes actually have experience fighting in the Southern Barbarians. With such an army familiar with the natural environment of the Southern Barbarians, they can use thunderous means at critical moments to shock the entire army. Southern barbarian.
Secondly, if Wu Qi had such a force under his command, he would be able to control the entire Southern Barbarians as quickly as possible after they really surrendered.
Chen Qingzhi is the kind of general who is developed in all aspects. Except for his small body, he has no shortcomings in other aspects.
Li Xiang thought that Chen Qingzhi could figure it out on his own, but Li Xiang never expected that such smart people would sometimes easily get into trouble, and smart people would be misled by their smartness. Fortunately, there was Li Jing next to him, who actually awakened Chen Qingzhi, who was obsessed with the authorities.
"Qingzhi, you can spend more time with Ji Ji when you go here. If you have any important matters, you can discuss it with Ji Ji!" Li Jing also valued the general Chen Qingzhi and regarded him as his future military leader. Therefore, he I am willing to remind you again and again.
Although Chen Qingzhi was Li Jing's defeated general, and was even forced to surrender by Li Jing in the end, Li Jing had done a lot of research on Chen Qingzhi. Looking at his series of battles when he faced Xiang Yu in Jiaozhou, he almost defeated himself. The advantages are used to the limit, and the resources they have are also used to the limit.
Even if Li Jing thought that if he had been in Chen Qingzhi's position in Jiaozhou at that time, he might not have been able to do better than Chen Qingzhi, and he might even have been inferior to Chen Qingzhi.
Coupled with the contact during this period, Li Jing also discovered that Chen Qingzhi himself was an extremely scientific general. If generals such as Li Jing, Han Xin, and Wang Jian all like to play advantageous games, the contrast in strength between the enemy and ourselves has always been more obvious. The better, the more resources they have at their disposal, the better, and the more they can do with ease.
But this Chen Qingzhi is doing exactly the opposite. The more limited the resources he has, the more he can budget carefully and make the most of the resources he has. On the contrary, if there are too many resources in hand, he may lose sight of one and be unable to take care of them.
For the Jin army with a large system now, Chen Qingzhi is not suitable to be the leader of one army, but he is the best candidate to lead a partial division.
Don't underestimate a side force. Although most of the functions of a side force are to support the main force. But if the partial division performs well, it can also directly affect the outcome of the main force's battle. And if you encounter someone like Chen Qingzhi who can perform to the extreme, he can even directly reverse the outcome of the main battle.
People like Chen Qingzhi can achieve several times the effect with a small amount of resources. If combined with the major commanders of the Jin army, it is very likely that the effect will not only be 1+1 greater than two!
Otherwise, it would not be worthy of Li Jing to value Chen Qingzhi so much!
As the best commander in chief at the time, and as a general, Li Jing could see Chen Qingzhi's role at a glance! To put it simply, it is impossible for Chen Qingzhi to become a governor-level figure of a state like March, but he is definitely one of the best candidates to cooperate with a governor-general of a state.
Of course, in addition to this reason, the reason why this candidate was Chen Qingzhi was that Li Xiang also considered Chen Qingzhi's role as a reduced general.
Li Xiang also made it clear to Nanman that even if he is a surrendered general, as long as he is loyal and useful, he can still show his value to Li Xiang. Even if these southern barbarians surrendered, they could still advance to a higher level in the Jin army system.
Only by opening up the mental defenses of the Nanman people to the greatest extent and solving their worries can these people be more willing to surrender.
