The person who came to the Cao family in Dunhuang was Cao Shuo. As a literary master in Liangzhou and the head of the Cao family in Dunhuang, Cao Shuo came to Wuwei at this time, which gave Cao Chong a very good face.

Among these people, the people sent by the Linghu family surprised Cao Chong. He was actually a woman with a veil. Since she could see her, Cao Chong also knew her identity. It turned out to be Linghu Mei, the daughter of the head of the Linghu family.

Although she is the daughter of the head of the family, her ability is no worse than that of a man. She has managed many industries for the Linghu family outside. The Linghu family has made considerable contributions over the years to become the third largest family in Dunhuang.

Cao Chong put himself outside and watched Zhuge Liang talk to these aristocratic families, representatives of the aristocratic families, or prefects of a county. Only when facing the choice of this major issue would Cao Chong speak.

"Mr. Zhuge, do you say that Qiang Hu and 200,000 people were involved in Liangzhou. Will this number be exaggerated?"

Zhuge Liang fanned the feather fan lightly and said, "Of course it won't be exaggerated. Don't the prefect know how heavy the snow is this year? All the cattle and sheep of Qiang and Hu were frozen to death. Do you think they can still stand up to this spring? In this way, Qiang and Hu were invading the clan. The grasslands in the north of the desert were endless, wrapped around 200,000 troops, which is not exaggerated."

The prefect of Jiuquan had a gloomy eyes, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, Cao Shuo of the Cao family of Dunhuang stood up and said to Zhuge Liang: "With Mr.'s information, we know which side the main force of the Qiang and Hu attacked. If it was in Dunhuang, I would be better prepared as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang smiled, but his tone was a little distressed.

"Prince, if we know the news about the main force of Qiang and Hu, I still have to discuss matters with you?"

Cao Shuo was the prefect of Dunhuang County. Hearing this sentence, he was silent.

Cao Chong, who was sitting on the stage, curled his lips inadvertently.

Cao Chong is not ignorant of the dynamics of the main force of Qiang and Hu, but knows something.

For example, the main force of Qiang and Hu divided into two groups, attacking Wuwei and Jiuquan. As for the other groups, they were just cats and dogs.

As for the troops, relying on Cao Chong's channels, Cao Chong also roughly knew some numbers. Although the troops in the Qiang and Hu invasion this time were not 200,000, there were more than 100,000 people. If you were not careful, it would lead to a huge disaster.

The reason why he did not tell these aristocratic families was that Cao Chong did not want these aristocratic families to know the truth, and those counties that were not attacked by the main force of the Qiang and Hu relaxed their vigilance.

This is not a situation Cao Chong is willing to see.

"Since that's the case, what do you want us to do to deal with the Qiang Rebellion?"

The person who said this was Linghu Mei.

Zhuge Liang fixed his sight on Linghu Mei and said, "The Qianghu Rebellion, not to mention the entire Liangzhou land, the three counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan and Wuwei will inevitably be affected. You must be impressed by the Qianghu Rebellion in the past. The losses caused by these Qianghu Rebellion were absolutely huge. Even if you accidentally, a century-old family would be overthrown. The king and lord mean that you and I would do our best to fight the enemy, and it would be better to form a coalition."

Alliance?

Hearing these two words, the people present sat upright.

"I don't know what the specific constitution is for forming this coalition, so that we can understand it."

Each family naturally has their own concerns and considerations when it comes to forming a coalition.

Many people have some thoughts.

The purpose of Cao Chong's formation of a coalition was very simple, that was, to gather enough power to fight the enemy and drag down the main force of Qiang and Hu. Cao Chong never forgot what his purpose was.

It is to quell the Qiang Rebellion, rather than simply repel the Qiang and Hu. Cao Chong asked these Qiang and Hu to be unable to endanger Liangzhou for at least a hundred years.

Fenglangjuxu is something Huo Qubing once did, and now Cao Chong wants to do it hard!

Leaving a name in history is much better than these conspiracies and power struggles.

Even if you have fought for everything now, become the King of Wei, and become the emperor, so what? Chinese history has been for five thousand years, and some are emperors. Will you be different from others as an emperor?

Only when you make achievements can you be remembered by future generations.

The first step is to attack this Qianghu.

"The constitution of the coalition forces is very simple. No county has 50,000 people to form a coalition force of 150,000, stationed in Duyeze. If there are Qiang and Hu attacks, there will be many attacks on that side, and the coalition forces will send people to that side. In this case, no matter which county is attacked by the main force of Qiang and Hu, we will not be embarrassed."

Since the strategy of forming a coalition forces is desirable, it also has many shortcomings. Of course, this disadvantage is for these families.

If a coalition forces were formed and fifty thousand people were drawn from each county, then the defense in his county would inevitably be reduced by several levels. If the Qiang and Hu were in a fierce manner, they might not be able to stop it.

This is one, and the second is that these aristocratic families will not have so many people to form a coalition force, and will also be placed on Tonozawa's side.

Tonozawa, most of the places are located in Wuwei!

Besides, even if this coalition is formed, then among the coalition forces, the commander of Luoyang Hou is naturally not an objection. However, who should these generals under the coalition forces be?

There are so many families in the three counties, and the coalition forces must be concentrated, so it is impossible for them to be led by their respective people. In this way, there will be some problems in the distribution of troops.

After all, there are no conflicts between aristocratic families, and the conflicts between different counties will be even greater. If the Qiang and Hu appeared in Jiuquan or Dunhuang, the commander in the coalition was not from these two counties, and they had the idea of ​​consuming the strength of the two counties and deliberately delaying time, wouldn’t the two counties be the meat on the chopping board?

This is a concern for those on the court.

Soon, someone expressed his opinion.

"The Lord and Hou want to form a coalition army, so we are naturally willing. However, each county has 50,000 people, which is too many. There are only 10,000 people at most in a county. How can there be 50,000 soldiers to gather?"

It is naturally not a strange thing to put it in other places, such as Xuzhou and Yangzhou, with 10,000 people in a county, but the key is that Liangzhou is not Xuzhou or Yangzhou!

Although the aristocratic families in Yangzhou in Xuzhou are rampant, where is the rampant one in Liangzhou? It’s like a local emperor, right?

In a county, there are only 10,000 officers and soldiers, but including the strength of their respective families, although it is a little more than 50,000, it is not impossible to get together.

"Don't make jokes at the prefect. Although I, Cao Chong, have not been in Liangzhou for a long time, I still know the situation in Liangzhou. There are 50,000 people per county, which is not a large number."

When he heard Cao Chong interrupting, although the prefect of Jiuquan was silent for a while, he still said it after a while.

"Junhou, that's not what he said. Junhou does have some understanding of Liangzhou, but there must be some things he doesn't understand. The aspect that Junhou said just now is like this. Although there are some soldiers in the aristocratic family, there are not many. Moreover, the aristocratic family also has industries that need to be managed by clan members."

"Yeah~"

After hearing what the prefect of Jiuquan said, Cao Chong seemed to be silent for a while, then he said, "What you said is, how about reducing the 50,000 people in each county by 10,000?"

Hearing Cao Chong's words, the prefect of Jiuquan, Cao Shuo and others breathed a sigh of relief, but the prefect of Jiuquan still had a look of sorrow on his face.

"There are still a little more people in the 40,000 people."

More than 40,000 people?

Cao Chong was too clear about the thoughts of the prefect of Jiuquan. He just kept chasing his nose and stared at him. If you gave him a step, he felt that he could go further.

Cao Chong shook his head very simply.

"No, forty thousand people are the smallest."

Seeing that Cao Chong was firm in his attitude, the prefect of Jiuquan did not dare to touch Cao Chong's bad intentions, so he had to expose this problem, but no one in the next issue would give in.

"Junhou, it is natural for 40,000 people per county to be distributed, but how to resettle these 120,000 people, who is responsible for the food and grass, who is the commander, who is the general, and how many generals are there. Can Junhou explain these issues one by one here?"

This is about interests.

And it is a personal benefit. Compared with this question, the above question is just a pediatric department.

If Cao Chong did not handle it well at this time, facing Cao Chong would be a mess, and these aristocratic families would not be slaughtered by you.

Cao Chong started to speak after pondering for a while.

"The food and grass are in charge of this marquis, and then it is naturally the marquis. In addition, there are four generals and twelve marquis. Each general has three marquis, and each marquis commands 10,000 people. Among the four generals, one is from Jiuquan County, one is from Dunhuang County, one is from Wuwei County, and the other is from my marquis. As for the marquis, do you have any objections?"

After Cao Chong said this, someone immediately came out to refute it.

"Junhou, is it inappropriate for you to do this? Every county has 40,000 people, but Junhou has nothing to do. How can he lead the army alone?"

Cao Chong looked at him sideways and found that he was just the head of a small family. At this time, he dared to question Cao Chong so arrogantly, most of the time it was instructed by someone else.

When asked about this question, Cao Chong's face became very calm.

"By I am the governor of Liangzhou, the marquis of Luoyang, the food and grass for these 120,000 people, the overall situation, and the Cao Chong, aren't these points enough?"

Seeing Cao Chong's expression getting worse little by little, the person who was pushed down sat down embarrassedly. Cao Chong looked at the atmosphere on the court and knew that although these people did not dare to refute him in person, it would not be certain whether they would be lip service to do things in the future.

So Cao Chong added another sentence at the end.

"Everyone, don't worry. The coalition was formed to better deal with the Qiang and Hu. I, Cao Chong, here I promise that if any county is attacked and the coalition forces did not send anyone there, I will never tolerate it if this Marquis dealt with the military law!"

After hearing Cao Chong's words, the atmosphere in the venue finally eased a lot.

Cao Chong knew that the matter of the coalition forces had been initially finalized, but he would definitely encounter many troubles in the future.
Chapter completed!
