Before, he was just worried that Mrs. Zhurong would be bullied by marrying into the Han family, so the old cave owner sent thousands of people to Zhuti, which was called naturalization, but in fact, to support Mrs. Zhurong.

But now that the old cave master was killed, Mrs. Zhurong's brother was also killed by Guan Yu in the chaos. Mrs. Zhurong inherited the position of the new cave master, which is equivalent to the entire Zhurong clan becoming a citizen of the Han family.

Zhurong's large clan has a population of over 30,000. With the cooperation of Guan Yu, he will move to Zhuti area one after another in the future. After the war, Ye Zhao personally agreed to change the Zhuti vassal state to Zhuti County, and open up a hundred miles of land to rest and recuperate the Zhurong clan. Except for Zhuti, there are only two counties under his jurisdiction, one is Hanyang and the other is Tanglang. Before that, they were all considered as Zhuti vassal state, and now they have been assigned to Zhuti County.

Ye Zhaohui migrated Han people one after another. What he wanted was to merge the Zhurong tribe and naturalize the Zhurong tribe, not simply to give the Zhurong tribe a place to recuperate. If the proportion of the Han barbarian population was unbalanced, the final result was probably that the Zhurong tribe would transform the Han people instead of being naturalized by the Han people.

From the map, Zhuti County is surrounded by Jianning, Yongchang, Yueli vassal states and Jingxian County. It is the throat of the southern middle entering the Shuzhong plain. If Yizhou and Nanzhong counties are divided into two countries, Zhuti's geographical location will be very important.

Originally, Ye Zhao came to Zhuti just to see Guan Ping, solve the problem between the Guan family father and son, and to see if there is any chance to completely subdue Guan Yu.

It was only after arriving at Zhuti that Ye Zhao had chatted with some old-age people in Zhurong that he realized that this southern and central place was not as easy to solve as the northern Hu people.

The Hu people plundered the Han people in order to survive. Both sides were in an absolute opposite. Although the Hu people were more powerful than the barbarians, it was actually simple to naturalize. As long as there was a city like Macheng that was backed by the Han family and was lying on the Hu territory, Ye Zhao only needed to establish his authority through killing, rob the Hu people's population, leave children, women, young and strong, either killed or enslaved, and then use culture to reverse the cognition of the next generation.

This method of naturalization is actually a bloody road. It was not the last battle in Macheng that year. Ye Zhao controlled the Danhan Mountain area. In order to suppress the tribes, the direct killing caused by three years was tens of thousands. If it was indirectly caused, it was even more immeasurable. Even after he left, he left a hand to form a situation where the Danhan Mountain area competed for power and restrained each other. Although the attention has gradually decreased over the years, he also learned from some channels that the three parties broke up and reunited, and conquered each other. With Gongsun Zan's suppression, the Hu people on the border of Youzhou were weak. Large tribes such as Ke Bineng and Tadun chose to move northward to avoid this quagmire to rest.

But the south and the north are different.

These ethnic minorities are not as plundering as the Hu people. They are like Zhurong. During the four hundred years of rule of the Han Dynasty, they have basically been in a semi-closed state and can be self-sufficient. They occasionally trade with the Han people. They neither surrender nor provoke them to the Han court. They even occasionally offer some treasures to obtain the support of the Han people. Their enemies are mostly jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. This is also because the Zhurong tribe, as a large tribe in the south, has only 30,000 people scattered everywhere.

The cruel jungle life ruthlessly eliminates tribe members who cannot adapt to the environment. The inexhaustible resources in this vast mountain are enough to make these few tribe members have no worries about food and clothing. Their crisis does not come from insufficient food, but from poisonous insects and beasts.

Most ethnic minorities have this kind of life in this era. Among them, ethnic minorities with a population of nearly 100,000 like the Yi people have developed farming themselves and their living habits are also relatively close to the Han people. During the hundreds of years of contact between the two sides, in fact, many ethnic minorities have been sinicized or semi-sinicized in this southern middle.

Faced with such ethnic minorities, it would be a bit too much if they forced Chineseization with iron-blooded means just like the Hu people.

What I fear most is not an enemy who is completely hostile to you, but a neighbor in this kind of half-friendly state. He is not good at using iron-blooded methods, but how can he allow others to sleep soundly? Ye Zhao cannot allow such a country and China under his rule. There are no large-scale battles and constant small frictions. You cannot ignore it, so as not to turn into chaos and waste most of his energy here.

Zhu Ti, the prefect's mansion.

"Guan Ping has been well in governing Zhuti for more than half a year. According to his merits, Guan Ping can be promoted directly to the prefect of Zhuti after one year, and no one can gossip." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Ping and smiled: "And because of his in-laws, Guan Ping's appointment as prefect of Zhuti in the future will also be conducive to Zhuti's development and governance. If others come, the Zhurong clan's new support may not agree. Moreover, if someone else changes, it will inevitably lead to the difference between the Han and the barbarians, which is not conducive to the complete naturalization of the Zhurong clan."

"Lord, I'm willing to share my worries for you!" Guan Ping took a step forward and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"But I... don't want you to stay here!" Ye Zhao's words surprised Guan Ping and Mrs. Zhu Rong.

"Lord, why is this? Only when your husband stays here can he intimidate the other party. Otherwise, if someone else comes here, let alone whether the person who comes agrees with Zhurong's clan, Zhurong's clan may not recognize him!" Mrs. Zhurong frowned. Guan Ping did not dare to contradict Ye Zhao, but she was born in a wilderness and did not value etiquette and law too much.

"Being rude and being rude!" Guan Yu's eyes turned cold and he glared at Guan Ping fiercely.

Guan Ping: "..."

What does this have to do with me?

Guan Yu ignored him and bowed to Ye Zhaoyi, "Ye Hou, I don't know why Ping'er is not suitable to stay here?"

"Guan Ping's future is not only here!" Ye Zhao crossed his hands and put them on his chest, looked at Guan Ping, shook his head, "I have said before that Guan Ping came here to practice, integrate what he learned, and put what he learned into practice. The purpose is to apply what he learned. After one year, according to my opinion, when I go back to Chengdu Academy to continue learning and learn more knowledge, his future should not be just the prefect of a remote place. Yun Chang, what do you mean by saying to me, how is Guan Ping today compared to a year ago?"

how?

Guan Yu had been angry before, but now after hearing what Ye Zhao said, he carefully recalled what Guan Ping did since he entered Zhuti.

There is a lot of governance in the place, but this remote place is quite prosperous. Moreover, since entering the city, Guan Ping has handled various things in an orderly manner, especially the problems between the Han and the Manchus, which are more handy when solving them. Guan Yu asked himself at this moment, if he had been replaced by himself, he might not have been able to achieve Guan Ping's level in this regard.

Moreover, Guan Ping, who is only sixteen years old, now looks a little more calm than before. As long as he is not in front of Guan Yu, he has a bit of a general style in his every move.

"I have indeed made a lot better than before." Guan Yu sighed and nodded.

"He is still young now and still has enough potential!" Ye Zhao looked at Guan Ping and smiled: "I don't want him to enter the officialdom too early, and to kill his potential in the busy government affairs. He still has a lot to learn. In the future, he will be the pillar of my Shu family. Therefore, he does not want him to be the prefect of Zhuti now."

Guan Yu looked at Ye Zhao, saying that he was working hard to train Guan Ping. He had great expectations for Guan Ping's future. He was a father, and he had no reason to refuse.

"But if my husband and I leave, who will guard Zhuti?" Mrs. Zhurong also heard that it was also for Guan Ping to transfer Guan Ping back, but the Zhurong clan could not completely leave the mountains and forests and go to Chengdu with Guan Ping. As for Zhurong himself, of course he had to follow Guan Ping.

This is also the key to the problem. Guan Ping married the princess of the Zhurong clan and was considered half of the Zhurong clan. Moreover, Guan Ping's martial arts are powerful, which convinced the Zhurong clan. However, when it comes, there is no such kindness as Guan Ping. Secondly, the talents in Shu, who are stronger than Guan Ping, now hold important positions. Although Zhang Ren is competent for Gan Ning, who is the same as Guan Ping, but for the same reason as Guan Ping, these people also need to be rebuilt.

Moreover, Ye Zhao is already preparing to develop this Nanzhong, and conflicts with the Southern Barbarians are inevitable. Those who are in charge need enough ability to suppress the Southern Barbarians. Ye Zhao has such people, but now they are basically in important positions and it is impossible to be transferred here to guard them.

Ye Zhao glanced at Guan Yu, sighed with slight slightest sigh, and said with a smile: "I have my own concerns, Zhurong doesn't have to worry. You can go back to Shuzhong with Guan Ping and give birth with peace of mind. Shuzhong will have the best doctors and Wenpo to help you."

"If Ye Hou refused to abandon him, Guan Yu would be willing to take the position of prefect Zhu Ti!" Guan Yu took a deep breath and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Some things should be made at this point."

When Mrs. Zhurong heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded, "If it were my father, I think it would be fine!"

Guan Yu is Guan Ping's father, and he is also the relative of Zhurong's clan. The most important thing is that he alone cavalry outside the city and kills the enemy generals. Although he is the cave master, his peerless courage is enough to shut up many people in Zhurong's clan. As this battle spreads, Guan Yu will come to guard Zhuti, and no one will refuse.

"This..." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yu and said, "Chen Yun is just a guest here, not my deployment, is it a bit embarrassing?"

"Ye Hou had the kindness of knowing Yu in the past. Since entering Shu, he has not only treated Guan well, but also promoted his son to become a talent. Yu cannot repay this great kindness. If Ye Hou refused to abandon him, he would serve Ye Hou with his remaining life. If the lord is above, please accept Guan Yu's bow!" After Guan Yu said that, he bowed to Ye Zhao like a mountain of gold and jade pillars.

"Chang Yun has figured it out. In this way, you will never be able to go back to General Gongsun!" Ye Zhao did not help him, but looked at Guan Yu and said that it was Gongsun Zan, but in fact he was talking about Liu Bei.

"Yu has already figured it out. Although General Gongsun has been kind to support the last general, the last general has not recognized his master and is free to come and go!" Guan Yu bowed and said.

He did not recognize Gongsun Zan, nor did he recognize Liu Bei. But Guan Yu did not say this, and Ye Zhao did not ask.
