"Lord, how should the more than 70,000 soldiers of the Southern Barbarians be placed?"
During Liu Qi's silence.
Guo Jia, who was standing behind Liu Qi, also asked.
Liu Qi also came back from his thoughts and touched his chin with his hand.
Although he had conquered the Barbarian King Meng Huo, the matter of loyalty still needed to be examined.
With more than 70,000 soldiers, consumption is also a big problem.
Now that there is no war, there is no use for Meng Huo and others to stay here, but if they are allowed to return to the Southern Barbarians, if Meng Huo goes back on his promise, the Southern Barbarians will still be a disaster.
The human heart is the hardest thing to guess.
What's more, Meng Huo surrendered under compulsion and did not surrender willingly.
After thinking about it, he said: "Let them return to the Southern Barbarians tomorrow.
We only need to take out 10,000 elite soldiers to stay."
He also did not forget that in history, after Zhuge Liang conquered the Southern Barbarians, he recruited the young men of the Southern Barbarians and formed a powerful infantry.
Although he would not do anything to exhaust all the young and middle-aged men, it was still possible to extract 10,000 elite barbarian troops and form an infantry force, and Meng Huo would not refuse such a thing.
"But if so" Before Guo Jia could finish speaking, Liu Qi waved his hand to stop him.
"I understand what you want to say Fengxiao.
It's just that you are afraid that Meng Huo will not obey after returning to Nanman.
Although this is also possible, if we can make him surrender once, there will be a second time, and a third time. times, and I said that there is only one such opportunity."
Liu Qi paused for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said: "If this is really the case, then the next time the army comes to the Southern Barbarians, it will be their death."
"Since my lord has made a decision, my subordinates don't need to say more," Guo Jia said with cupped hands.
He was also afraid that after Meng Huo led his army back to the Southern Barbarians, he would go back on his word and go against his will, which would be detrimental to their control of the Southern Barbarians.
But seeing Liu Qi's expression, he also knew that Liu Qi had a plan, so there was nothing to worry about.
After all, the Nanman area is connected to Yizhou and Jiaozhou.
Once something happens, it will be a disaster.
This is a problem related to the stability of the rear area.
Liu Qi nodded.
When Guo Jia asked, he already knew what Guo Jia was worried about, but he didn't have any good way to deal with the Nanman affairs at this time.
Meng Huo has been in charge of Nanman for so long.
With Meng Huo, taking over Nanman will become much easier.
If used well, it will be a boost, but if used poorly, it will be a time bomb.
There is no other way to let Meng Huo go back and take over the Southern Barbarians, and in his case, Meng Huo, the former lord of the Southern Barbarians, is the most suitable to manage the Southern Barbarians.
What's more, the people under his command also have their own affairs.
Can't get enough people to come out.
Such an arrangement is also out of necessity.
All he could hope for was that Meng Huo would not do anything bad.
Otherwise, when everything settles down, it will be the moment when the army arrives at the Southern Barbarians.
This is what he least wants to see.
It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully.
Think of this.
He also shook off the thoughts in his mind.
After all, this was just imagination.
Nothing had been concluded yet, so he said: "It's just speculation now.
Of course, just in case, some spies can be sent to pay close attention.
And Meng We are not stupid.
Even if we have some thoughts, we won’t express them so quickly.
When we take action, we won’t be afraid anymore.”

"What the Lord said is true," Guo Jia said.
He also knows that this is a fact.
Although now due to the continuous wars and the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war, it can be said that he has made money, but only after a period of time.
Even if Meng Huo had other ideas, there was nothing worth worrying about.
"Everything should have been arranged," Liu Qi suddenly asked.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment.
Then he realized what he was doing, and said with cupped hands: "My lord, everything is almost ready.
The transfer will be completed within three days.
The three mistresses in Jiangling have also led an army of 20,000 to Chengdu.
Now Already arrived at Baidi City” Think about it for a moment.
"My lord, are you really going to let General Ma guard Jingzhou?"
Guo Jia asked.
This is also something that many people want to ask.
After all, Ma Chao has just come over, but Liu Qi let Ma Chao take over Jingzhou instead of his old subordinates like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.
In their view, any one of Liu Qi's old subordinates could take over the task of guarding Jingzhou.
Moved to Chengdu.
Jingzhou is equivalent to the gateway to Yizhou, and if Yizhou wants to send troops to the Central Plains, Jingzhou must be used as a springboard.
Therefore, even if you move to Chengdu, Jingzhou cannot afford to lose anything.
Hear the words.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "With Meng Qi guarding Jingzhou, we can protect Jingzhou without any loss.
What should I worry about?"
After Ma Chao captured Yingchuan, Chenliu, Xuchang and other places, he surrendered to his command.
He also knew that once Ma Chao decided to sincerely surrender, he would never have the idea of betrayal.
You must know that in history, although Ma Chao was one of the five tiger generals under Liu Bei, he was marginalized and did not have many opportunities to play.
He had a great reputation and joined Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei did not treat him badly and even granted him a title, but his life was just as ordinary.
Even so.
Ma Chao never thought about betraying Liu Bei until he died of illness.
However, now that Ma Chao has taken refuge under him, Ma Chao will not be buried like this.
If Ma Chao was alone, he would not let Ma Chao guard Jingzhou.
It's not that he didn't believe in Ma Chao's ability, it was just that his planning was a little worse.
But Ma Chao also brought three people to seek refuge, including Pang De, Pang Gongming, Ma Dai and Ma Boshan for military affairs; Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan for literature.
Then he can completely relax and let Ma Chao guard Jingzhou.
It's just that Guo Jia and others don't trust Ma Chao very much, and they don't understand why he would ask a new general to guard such an important place.
"Since the Lord is like this, I think the others will also understand," Guo Jia said.
He also didn't know why Liu Qi could trust Ma Chao and others who joined in so much, but Liu Qi had already decided, and they had no choice but to hope they hadn't misjudged the person.
"Time will tell everything," Liu Qi said calmly.
It was difficult for him to explain such a thing, so it would be better not to explain it directly and wait for everything to be proven later.
Hear the words.
Guo Jia also sighed in his heart, but said no more.
Besides, Gan Ning and Tai Shici would stay to guard Jiangxia, so if there was something wrong, it could be remedied.
At this time.
A burly man came over.
"My lord, General Ma and others are here to pay their respects":
