Luo Dada beautified Zhuge Liang into a god-like figure. When Zhuge Liang pacified Meng Huo in the Southern Barbarian, he actually captured Meng Huo seven times. This is too exaggerated. It vilified the character and personality of the Yunnan minority ethnic group to extreme extent, and greatly praised Zhuge Liang's kindness and righteousness. In fact, if you capture two or three times, you will be defeated. Luo Dada makes seven times, which is simply impossible. Yunnan minority ethnic group is simple, kind, and admires the strong. How could it be convinced after the seven-game?

Zhuge Liang said cautiously: "Since Meng Huo's troops are coming to Jianning, it is necessary to resolve the crisis in Jianning City. First, send troops to defeat Meng Huo's army, and then lead a army to penetrate into various parts of the Southern Barbarians to disintegrate it; first, we should be convinced that when we send some food and daily necessities, we will teach the barbarians how to grow grain crops and give them certain guarantees in their lives. For some tough tribes, we should use heavy troops and severe blows, which can be regarded as killing chickens for monkeys."

Lu Ning said: "Kong Ming, the leaders of the tribes of the Southern Barbarians have a great influence in the tribes. It is not easy for outsiders to gain the recognition of the barbarians if they go deep into the Southern Barbarians. Especially when the interests of the tribe leaders are infringed, what are you going to do?"

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhuge Liang understood in his heart that he wanted to go to the Southern Barbarians to deal with the rebellion. This was definitely a very good opportunity. As long as the problems of the Southern Barbarians were solved, his ability would be recognized by Lu Ning and his prospects would be bright.

Kong Ming said: "Since you want to completely solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians, you should make more financial efforts. Only by benefiting the people of the Southern Barbarian tribes and seeing our sincerity can you get close to the people of the Southern Barbarian tribes. Only if you can get close to them, you will have the opportunity to influence and assimilate them so that you can completely solve them. This will take a long time, and it will probably take three or five years to complete."

Guo Jia said: "The terrain in the South Barbarian area is complex, and the roads are difficult to move, which is not conducive to the operation of the army. There are also many climatic abnormalities such as obstacles in the South Barbarian area. It is not easy to solve the problem of the South Barbarian problem, so it is not easy to solve it!"

Zhuge Liang said: "In fact, there are no need for many soldiers and horses to go deep into the Southern Barbarians. Too many soldiers and horses are not easy to march, and it will even create an illusion for the tribes of the Southern Barbarians, saying that we want to completely eliminate the Southern Barbarian tribes."

Lu Ning said: "How many soldiers are suitable?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Two thousand soldiers are enough."

Tian Chou shook his head and said, "Two thousand soldiers are too few, so they cannot be grand. Although it is in the southern barbarian area, Meng Huo has 50,000 soldiers and horses!"

Lu Ning also felt that two thousand soldiers and horses could not succeed. After all, the ethnic minorities with the power of the Southern Barbarians had multiple types of troops, such as the use of elephant soldiers, vine armor soldiers and many poisons. Two thousand soldiers and horses were not enough to be stuck in the gaps!

Zhuge Liang said: "Two thousand soldiers are enough, but they must provide full support in other aspects, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve anything."

Lu Ning said softly, "Tell me, look."

Zhuge Liang said: "To completely solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians, the army needs a large number of craftsmen, especially experts in grain planting, and a large number of technical talents, and others need some carpenters and other talents; these talents are all prepared to serve the tribes of the Southern Barbarians; of course, if the lord is willing to spend money, he should also take a road construction team to build roads in various parts of the Southern Barbarians. This is beneficial to long-term stability, but the cost will be very high."

Lu Ning said: "Since you want to completely take the Nanman into our ruling area, of course, the people of the tribes of the Nanman should make the lives of better and better, and all kinds of basic construction must also be kept up. You can't just talk about it! For the Nanhe area, we can plan a goal, and no taxes need to be paid within a few years. If the local taxes are not enough to maintain administrative expenses, the state will subsidize; there is only one goal, so the Nanman cannot be in chaos. To be stable, it is necessary to establish corresponding government agencies. Only in this way can the problem be completely solved."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang said, "Lord, the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians will be pacified soon, which is also a great blessing for the people of the Southern Barbarians."

Lu Ning glanced at Zhuge Liang, thinking that he should be allowed to deal with the matters of the Southern Barbarians. Since Zhuge Liang's historical problems were solved by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang has now solved them.

Lu Ning said: "Kong Ming, I will give you five thousand soldiers and fully support you in terms of food and food. Within five years, you must completely resolve the matters of the Southern Barbarians; then transfer two generals Wei Yan and Zhang Ren to your subordinates, and you will be responsible for the selection of the rest; do you have the confidence to complete it?"

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was secretly happy and immediately said loudly: "Lord, please complete the task!"

Lu Ning said: "If you choose anyone else, you don't care about it, but Jianning's Li Hui must be your assistant. This person has a very good understanding of the situation of the Southern Barbarians and is considered a master of the Southern Barbarians. You should ask Li Hui for advice on some things and not be arrogant."

Zhuge Liang said: "Abide by the order!"

Guo Jia said: "Kong Ming, put your plan out and send it to the General Staff Department for approval."

Zhuge Liang said: "Thank you, General Secretary!"

Guo Jia said: "Kong Ming, Jianning City cannot be defended. You have to consider how to recover Jianning City instead of reinforcements. The reinforcements have been dispatched long ago, but it is probably too late. It is certain that Jianning City will be destroyed."

Tian Chou said: "My lord considered giving you five thousand soldiers and horses, and he also considered this aspect; the Southern Barbarians are not as easy as you imagined; the Southern Barbarians are extremely high at altitude, and when we first arrive, there will be many soldiers who cannot adapt to high-altitude areas, and their combat effectiveness will also decrease a lot. You must be careful and not act recklessly."

Lu Ning felt ashamed after hearing this! Zhuge Liang in history was just cautious and never acted recklessly. Isn’t Tian Chou’s words vain?

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, what should I do if the civilian officials who follow the army do?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "You have to go and discuss this with Gu Yong and ask him to make arrangements for you."

After Zhuge Liang left, Guo Jia said, "Lord, do we have to leave this kid with such a complicated matter as the Southern Man to deal with. Is it a matter of lack of consideration? After all, this kid is still a famous scholar, and if he has no experience, he has to face such a complicated situation."

Lu Ning didn't have a clear idea. Although he knew that Zhuge Liang in history was very awesome and did solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians, that was something that happened after Zhuge Liang had many years of experience. Now Zhuge Liang is actually a doctoral graduate in later generations and has not yet entered society!

Lu Ning said: "It should be okay with Li Hui's assistance! Don't you have a high opinion of him? What are you worried about?"

Guo Jia said: "This kid is indeed a genius, has a good mind and a calm behavior, but after all, he is a student and has no experience in dealing with problems. The affairs of the Nanman are very complicated, and even experienced people are difficult to deal with. Is this kid okay?"

Lu Ning laughed and said, "I hope that boy won't let us down."

Tian Chou said: "The problem is not big. Let's install a few spies around him and send the situation back in time. If you find something wrong, you can stop it in time."

Lu Ning said: "Zi Tai, the head of the matter should be done secretly and should not let Zhuge Liang and the people around him know it, as that would be a blow to their confidence; if they finally find a good seedling, they would be inadequate in confidence all at once, and that would be a big loss."

Tian Chou laughed and said, "Lord, don't worry about this!"
