On the distant grassland, this was completely Bai Ren's territory.
As the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Xiqiang minority were conquered by Bai Ren, Bai Ren and Jia Xu discussed and implemented a method of national autonomy similar to that of later generations.
That is to allow highly respected people from the ethnic minorities to manage these ethnic minorities.
But the control of the army still belongs to Bai Ren.
People know that if they want to control a real government, they must control the military power.
Now Bai Ren not only has 20,000 soldiers under his own command, but also a few newly recruited foreigners, totaling 30,000 soldiers.
Now Bai Ren always has 50,000 soldiers under his command, although the current strength of the troops seems to be far worse than Cao Cao.
But his real strength is comparable to that of Liu Bei.
Bai Ren sat silently in the tent.
Sitting beside him were Jia Xu and Pang Tong, Bai Ren's two great counselors.
The generals standing below were Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Gao Shun, Gao Lan, Wang Meng and others, as well as Ke Ma Chao and Pang De of the army.
Now if we really compare them, the group of people under Bai Ren are even worse than the people under Liu Bei.
Bai Ren, who had just finished traveling in the south, now looked at his civil and military men who managed the grassland in an orderly manner, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
However, according to the discussion between Bai Ren and his own advisers, in order to maintain his rule, Cao Cao will definitely call him back when the time comes.
"Gao Lan, I leave this place to you, are you sure you can manage it?"
Bai Ren thought for a moment and felt that Gao Lan could be regarded as a very helpful steward.
These days, Gao Lan has also learned some politics and dealt with the problems on the grassland.
Things are more than enough.
"Thank you for your trust, Master.
I will definitely guard the grassland."
When Gao Lan heard what Bai Ren said, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he said to Bai Ren with a grateful tone.
"Ma Mengqi, things here are completely settled.
If you think everything is fine, you can take Pang De back to Xiliang."
Bai Ren looked calmly at Ma Chao and Pang De in the distance at this time.
After all, the two of them It's just that I borrowed it from Ma Teng temporarily, and it doesn't count as my direct descendant.
Now that I have almost completed the work on the grassland, keeping the two of them will not be of much use to me.
"Let's go, okay."
Ma Chao was slightly surprised when he heard what the other party said, and he said what he was thinking smoothly.
However, looking at Bai Ren's smiling face, Ma Chao asked with some doubts: "Really?"
It’s true that I don’t study well, so don’t lie to me.”
After listening to Ma Chao's words, Bai Ren looked at the confused expression on the other party's face, touched his beard, and then said to Ma Chao in a kind tone: "Of course it is true, but I have something to remind you."
"Remind me."
After listening to Bai Ren's words, Ma Chao looked at the other party's heavy face and asked with a somewhat confused tone.
"Yes, if you return to Xiliang, you must stay safe and keep your peace.
Don't let your father and Cao Cao confront each other.
Otherwise, your Ma family will be destroyed and I won't be able to save you."
Bai Ren looked at Ma Chao in front of him, himself and him.
After many days of interaction, I knew that he was a cold-faced and warm-hearted guy.
After thinking about it, Bai Ren reminded Ma Chao with a somewhat emotional tone about Ma Chao's history of cheating on his father.
"Cao Cao, I'd like to lend you some good words."
Ma Chao looked at Bai Ren's heavy face, gritted his teeth, and said to Bai Ren in a cold tone, and then took big steps to leave here.
Pang De looked at Ma Chao like this, made a bitter expression on Bai Ren's face, and then hurriedly chased him out.
"This boy surnamed Ma is really ungrateful.
The master kindly reminded him, but he still doesn't appreciate it."
Zhang He looked at Ma Chao walking out of the military camp alone, and said angrily to Gao Lan beside him.

Seeing Ma Chao like this, Bai Ren helplessly showed a wry smile, and then shook his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
He told him with some good intentions, why didn't he appreciate it?
At this time, Ma Chao walked out of the military camp a little coldly, then rode on his little white horse, preparing to leave this place that made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Major General, are you okay?"
At this time, Pang De came out with a heavy face, watched Ma Chao get on the horse coldly, and said to Ma Chao with a somewhat doubtful tone.
"He Bai Zifu, does he really think that Cao Mengde and his Bai Zifu are invincible?
One day, I will let them see how powerful I, Ma Mengqi, am."
Ma Chao looked at him with a somewhat unhappy face at this time, and followed closely.
Pound, then spoke to the people next to him with a somewhat heroic tone, waved his whip, and rode the little white horse under his crotch, heading towards the northwest.
Seeing Ma Chao like this, Pang De sighed helplessly and could only mount his horse and follow Ma Chao closely.
In the military camp, Bai Ren discussed the matter and planned to leave Gao Lan and the troops except Wang Meng, Lao Qin and the foreign troops to guard the grassland, while he led the cavalry, Zhang Liao and others back to the Central Plains.
"Master, I'm afraid Cao Cao should send an envoy now.
I advise the master to wait at the junction of the grassland and the Han Dynasty in the south.
Otherwise, if others see it, the current situation may not be good for the master."
Jia Xu looked at the situation on the side.
Everything was almost arranged, and he persuaded Bai Ren in a soft tone.
Bai Ren thought for a while, and the fact that he conquered the grassland has not spread yet.
If Cao Cao knew about it, how could Cao Cao tolerate him?
Now he can only suppress this matter temporarily and wait for the opportunity, and the army must go south. things to do.
"Wenyuan, let the soldiers have a good rest tonight.
Tomorrow I will march south with the army and prepare to return to the Central Plains."
Bai Ren nodded to Jia Xu on the side, and then looked at his deputy.
Zhang Liao ordered Zhang Liao with a heavy tone.
Zhang Liao nodded after listening to Bai Ren's words, and replied to Bai Ren with a heavy tone: "Master, don't worry, I will immediately notify my soldiers to be prepared."
In Shouchun in the distance, it was quiet at night.
Ding Feng and his soldiers secretly came to the moat of Shouchun City.
Looking at the quiet surroundings, Ding Feng showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then quietly faced The soldiers under his command said a few words.
After listening to Ding Feng's words, the soldiers of Soochow nodded with a heavy expression, and then carefully prepared things.
Not long after, the soldiers of Soochow came to the moat with heavy faces and carrying things on their backs.
Under the moonlight, they could clearly see the sandbags one by one.
"I'll block all of this in the river and let them cut off the water.
Shouchun City will run out of water in less than three days.
By then, it will definitely be self-defeating."
Ding Feng looked at his men leading one by one.
A smile appeared on the corner of the sandbag's mouth, and then he gave instructions to his men in a low tone.
Immediately, countless soldiers listened to what their general said and threw the sandbags they brought into the middle of the river.
They saw that there was more and more sand in the river, blocking all the water in the moat.
The movements below Shouchun City completely disturbed the soldiers of Cao's army who were keeping watch above the city.
Cao Jun's soldiers heard the noise and immediately stretched out their heads to look down the city to see what happened.
However, seeing the Dongwu soldiers suddenly swarming under the city, the Cao Jun soldiers who were keeping watch at night were startled and hurriedly went to find the general Xu Huang.
After hearing the soldier's report, Xu Huang woke up from his sleep and hurried to the city.
He looked at the actions below the city with cold eyes, and his expression suddenly changed.
"This Soochow Army wants to cut off our water source.
This is really abominable."
Xu Huang, as a famous general who fought in all directions, saw the Soochow Army's intention at a glance.

His face suddenly became heavy, and his tone was hoarse as he faced the city.
Xia roared.
The affairs of the Soochow Army under the city were almost completed.
Ding Feng heard the sound and silently raised his head.
He saw the corner of Xu Huang's mouth appearing at the top of the city.
He showed a smile, and then said to Xu Huang in a calm tone: "General Xu Huang.
Now that your city's water source is about to be cut off by me, you might as well leave the city and surrender.
Maybe then I will introduce you to General Sun, and General Sun will actually reuse you."
After hearing Ding Feng's words, Xu Huang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, then pointed his finger at Ding Feng below, and said angrily: "Even if I die, I, Xu Huang, will not surrender to you traitors who want me to surrender." , you can dream”:
