It is still impossible to pay it back, and it will never be paid back from generation to generation.
In the battle against the Desolate Country, nearly 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers of the Divine Sword First Army were killed!
The Second Excalibur Army had 100,000 soldiers, and 10,000 of them were killed!
Of the 5,000 men in the independent division, only 1,200 remained.
At the cost of more than 30,000 people, the army of more than 500,000 from the Wilderness Country was destroyed. Such a record can be called brilliant, but the Divine Sword Army was the apple of Fu Xiaoguan's eye, and he felt it was not worth it.
Not to mention that the northern border army wiped out more than 200,000 of the main force of the Tiandao Army of the Savages at the cost of the annihilation of the entire army.
Today, the Desolate Court is firmly controlled by the Divine Sword Army. There are still millions of barbarians living in the Desolate Court. In the first few days, many of them organized a rebellion, but they were ruthlessly suppressed by the Divine Sword Army ordered by Fu Xiaoguan.
In this vast deserted garden, bloodstains can still be found in the streets and alleys.
Even in this slightly chilly spring breeze, there is still a faint smell of blood.
The barbarians were finally scared of being killed, but in Tuoba Feng's eyes, he hoped that Fu Xiaoguan would kill more of them, so that the bloodiness of the barbarians could be brought out again, which would be even better.
Even if you, Fu Xiaoguan, have great abilities, it is obviously impossible for you to rule the Desolate Country with only 100,000 people.
In the present Huang Country, people from all over the country have spontaneously organized themselves. They are like small trickles that will eventually converge into a river, then into a sea, and finally submerge all of Fu Xiaoguan's troops.
Tuoba Feng was waiting, and Fu Xiaoguan was also waiting.
Tuoba Feng had no choice but to wait, but Fu Xiaoguan's waiting was different. He was waiting for Zhuo Bieli's army to arrive, but he was also doing another thing at the same time.
"Guoyun City and Daya City were completely looted by Feng Xichu. Over 200,000 people from each of these cities came to Desolate Court, and almost half died on the way... I opened the city gates and welcomed them."
In the imperial study of the Baijin Khan Palace, Fu Xiaoguan looked at Tuoba Feng and said calmly, "Those high-ranking officials in this desolate court still have some foundation. Of course, I didn't send anyone to rob them. After all, they are now my subjects."
"So I invited your brother, Prince Tuoba Kangkang. You are a good brother. You know the big picture and understand my good intentions."
"Tonight, I will host a banquet for all the dignitaries of this desolate court at the Platinum Khan Palace. Firstly, we want to meet and become acquainted. Secondly, we are all compatriots, and I want to borrow some food from them to alleviate our urgent needs."
"Here's what I'm thinking: make the former desolate country an autonomous region under the jurisdiction of the Wu Dynasty."
"What does this mean? It means using the barbarians to govern the barbarians. The highest administrative chief of this autonomous region is the governor. Let Tuoba Kang be the first governor. The entire autonomous region is divided into six states. The governor will nominate the governor, and I will personally oversee it."
"Of course, for security reasons, no troops other than my armed forces are allowed in the entire autonomous region. The highest military commander stationed in the autonomous region is appointed by me and reports directly to me."
Fu Xiaoguan drank a cup of milk tea, looked up at Tuoba Feng, and said with a smile: "What do you think of this idea?"
Tuoba Feng was already stunned.
Is this possible?
Governing the barbarians by using the barbarians as their own... In this way, the barbarians will not have much backlash, but the actual control of the entire country, no, the entire autonomous prefecture will still be in the hands of Fu Xiaoguan.
He did not need to transfer officials from the Wu Dynasty. He avoided conflicts and contradictions between the barbarians and the military people. He only needed to place a powerful army in this autonomous region to successfully deter the barbarians from disloyalty.
He must have a backup plan; this strategy is just a delaying tactic.
What he ultimately wants to achieve is definitely cultural invasion and assimilation of the barbarians, until one day, there are no more barbarians in this world!
"What a trick! I, Tuoba Feng, admit defeat with all my heart... How are you going to deal with me?"
Being taken prisoner, Tuoba Feng thought that he would be thrown into prison and tortured to death, but he did not expect that Fu Xiaoguan only sent a few people to watch him.
He still lived in the palace, and he could even sleep in the same bed with his queen as before.
Apart from not being able to leave the Platinum Khan Palace, his freedom was not subject to any further restrictions.
This made him feel quite uneasy, and he always felt that what Fu Xiaoguan was up to was more terrifying than poison.
Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "You have to vacate the harem tomorrow. Since this place has become an autonomous region, there can be no such thing as a harem. This is the Governor's Mansion, and the former harem will become the future palace of the Wu Dynasty Emperor."
"As for you... I have a very important matter for you to take care of. Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this so that the people of this land can live a better life."
"You know Wofengdao,"
Tuoba Feng nodded. He was certainly aware of the changes in the Wofeng Dao of the Yu Dynasty. He even used the Wofeng Dao as an example and wanted to promote it in this desolate country.
"Nomadism is not a solution after all. I need the barbarians to settle down."
Tuoba Feng was shocked. "The barbarians have been nomadic for thousands of years. You want them to settle down and farm? They won't agree. If you force them, I'm afraid they will cause trouble."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, agreeing with Tuoba Feng's view, but said, "The reason for nomadism is the single industrial structure. Is living in a tent really as comfortable as living in a house like this? I don't think so. Otherwise, why would wealthy people settle in this deserted place?"
"You were once their emperor, so it would be much easier if you took the lead. If you still care about them as your former subjects, I think you need to lend a hand and help them.
Don't let hatred blind you. I'm not an unforgivable demon. After all, they are my people now, and I certainly hope they can live a better life."
"As for how to do it, I'll write you a proposal later. If you can handle this matter well, trust me, I will set you free and reunite you with your family. By the way, I sent your children to the Wu Dynasty early this morning."
Tuoba Feng was startled and glared, but Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said, "Look at you. Impulsiveness is not a good emotion. You need to learn to restrain yourself. We don't know each other well yet. Isn't this a mean move first and a gentleman later? Don't worry, they will live well in Guanyun City. Besides, they have companions, right?"
"companion?"
"Yes, Tuoba Kang's family was also sent over, as well as the families of the other ministers in the court. In short, there are more than a thousand people."
"You are blackmailing me!"
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, it will only take two or three years at most to drive them back from Guanyun City."
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and said, "People always yearn for a better life. You are an unqualified emperor, and the people of the wilderness are living such a miserable life... I can't stand it anymore!"
