Cao Cao coughed lightly: "Isn't the father throwing a brick to attract jade and say a bad idea first? Ziqiu thinks how to solve this matter."
Cao Ang replied: "We have a lot of cards in our hands. Whether it is fishing boat strength, military strength, or even production strength and technological strength, they are all enough to deal with these people."
Paused.
Cao Ang asked for orders in person.
He's going to take the job.
Cao Cao saw that Cao Ang wanted to take action himself.
He is naturally very happy but a little embarrassed. In his opinion, this is really not a big deal. His cabinet has the world's top brains. Isn't it easy to discuss several countermeasures?
of course.
Cao Cao believed the same.
Although their own decision-making level is strong.
But the most powerful is the son of Cao Ang.
Cao Cao mentioned again on the phone: "In addition to internal affairs, more and more foreigners have entered the customs from the Western Regions recently, and there are still many forces from the Qiang tribes who will harass Bajun, Western Regions, and Liangzhou. Production caused some trouble."
"I've heard these things."
Cao Ang suggested: "I suggest using the Yizhou Army and Liangzhou Army to directly attack the Qiangs and completely occupy the plateau, so as to ensure the normal operation of the Hexi Corridor."
Cao Cao was surprised: "It's just that there are one or two gangs of bandits occasionally. Is it necessary to do this? The Qiang highlands are very barren and cold, and are useless to us."
The so-called Qiang highlands are the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
There were a large number of Qiang people living in the past. The Qiang people did not obey discipline and were wild and unruly, but some of them had defected to the Wei court. Even in the Luoyang Imperial Academy and the Hongmeng Temple in Xuchang, people from the Qiang nationality could be found.
But the rest.
After all, it is a hidden danger.
The Central Plains court almost never launched a large-scale battle against the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This is because soldiers entering the plateau will lose their combat effectiveness, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau seems to be a sparsely populated and useless land for the Huaxia people.
however.
Cao Ang didn't see it that way.
In Cao Ang's view, population is the most important resource.
On the vast plateau land of the Qiang Highlands, in addition to the major Qiang ethnic groups, there are also many plateau nomads and small countries. The total size of the young and strong is close to one million, which is a very large working population.
In addition, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is backed by the Himalayas, and there are several mountain passes in the Himalayas. As long as they are opened, they can enter the Ganges Plain in northern India, which is the birthplace and center of Indian civilization.
Population density of the South Asian subcontinent.
That is second only to Huaxia.
There is abundant arable land.
Huge population.
From the most realistic point of view, the Qiang people in the Zhuqiang Highlands refused to obey the discipline, and they entered Yizhou Bajun to harass villages every three days, and then went to Hexi Corridor and Western Regions to attack caravans, which is also very disturbing.
destroy them.
It is conducive to the westward expansion of the power of the Wei Empire.
Therefore, Cao Ang suggested that the Yizhou Corps and the Liangzhou Corps be allowed to attack on both sides. The leaders of these two corps are the generals of the two major western regions: Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

With this two people ability.
With the number of troops in their hands.
With the supply ability of Da Wei's Hou Le.
With the help of some leading Qiang people who have surrendered, they can [-]% clear the highland within a month or two, and incorporate this plateau into the territory of the Great Wei Empire.
In this way, except for the three or two provinces in the east, the territory of the Great Wei Empire is not much different from that of the 21st century!
Afterwards, Cao Cao also decided to calm down the Qiangs and seize the plateau!
He adopted Cao Ang's suggestion, sent Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to join forces with some Qiang people, and demanded that the Qiang people be pacified within three months, completely solve the harassment of the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor, and merge the entire sparsely populated plateau into the Great Wei Empire.
In this regard, the cabinet voted unanimously in favor.
The chief assistant of the cabinet may immediately discuss specific strategies and coordination plans with the cabinet university, and the Ministry of Zhongshu Province will draft an edict and stamp it with a seal, and convey it to the Menxia Province for deliberation.
They will evaluate whether the cabinet's plan will burden the country, affect the lives of the people, and whether it can be implemented smoothly based on the country's situation, the state of the treasury, and risks and benefits.
Soon, Menxia Province passed the plan and finally conveyed it to Shangshu Province. When the order reached Shangshu Ling Zhuge Liang's hands.
It is very complete and detailed. Zhuge Liang, as Shang Shu Ling, his task is to use the resources and functions of the Shiba Department under the Shang Shu Province to implement the plan and achieve the goal with the most efficient execution.
Soon, multiple departments received orders from Zhuge Liang at the same time.
Since it is a military operation, and it is a war on the plateau, the main contributor is undoubtedly the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War is the most important department of the Great Wei Empire. After all, almost all the troops of the Great Wei Empire are infantry and cavalry. will serve in the future.
This person is none other than Cao Ren, the most stable general in the Cao family.
Among the generals of the Cao family, Cao Ren has the most outstanding talent and ability. He is not only loyal but also prudent. He is one of the eight generals who were canonized.
He is currently in charge of the Imperial War Department, and is the Minister of the War Department.
After Cao Ren received the order, he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.
Send the briefing to the Yizhou Military Region and the Liangzhou Military Region as soon as possible.
The commander of the Liangzhou army, the governor of Liangzhou, and the general of the Great Wei Army, Zhao Yun, quickly received this briefing through his subordinates. He can be said to be satisfied with it, because the news was delivered too quickly.
In the past, I dare not imagine that the brand-new state machine of the Great Wei Empire, although it is currently in the running-in stage, has already demonstrated super high discipline and execution ability!
Zhao Yun immediately issued an order: "Order all the districts of the army to enter a state of combat readiness. All troops will withdraw and prepare for military operations against the Qiangs at any time. Send envoys to contact the allies of the Qiangs immediately."
Although the telegram was received, the telegram could not immediately transfer the soldiers.
Because the telegram is a security risk.
At best, the army can only be assembled in a state of readiness for war.
