The three of them have been discussing for a long time, but Zhao Yun still feels that this matter must be cautious. The grassland is not as good as other places and cannot tolerate carelessness.

Finally, he said to the two of them: "Let's put aside this matter for the time being. Even if you want to build a supply station, it will be a long-term process. It is impossible to easily establish it in a short period of time. Let's make a long-term plan. Let's not talk about this for now. Next, there are more urgent things that need to be done."

Xun You and Gao Shun also knew that such things were too impatient and needed to consider a lot of things. They nodded and listened quietly to Zhao Yun's next words.

Zhao Yun said again: "This attack on Linke's troops made me see our disadvantages. First of all, the number of soldiers is too small, and it is a bit difficult for me to achieve great things on the grassland. Just one Linke's troops will not be completely eliminated. Even if I rob them of food and horses, there are still many things that cannot be taken away, and there are still many people I can't kill!"

"After I leave, as long as I give them a while, they can still recover their vitality. And the most important thing is that I beat them away. Without the protection of the Xianbei warriors, the original tribes of the Linke tribe will definitely go to join other Xianbei tribes like the previous Ge Yuan tribe. In this way, every time I destroy a tribe, it is equivalent to strengthening other tribes in disguise! Provide them with population and supplies that I have no time to take away."

"If this continues, the casualties I caused to the Xianbei are only those Xianbei warriors, and what I get is just some war horses. However, even the 100,000 Xianbei warriors and 100,000 war horses are irrelevant to the huge Xianbei. But if all the people from these small tribes are gathered together, they will eventually become large tribes!"

"If I keep fighting like this, I will be like helping them integrate... One day, the small tribe that I was unable to compete with will become a large tribe. I have been thinking about this problem on the way back. How should I solve it? You and the two of you will also help me think about it carefully."

After hearing this, the two were silent for a while.

Xun You said, "This matter is inevitable, because the grassland is too big and there are too many Xianbei tribes. Although they fight each other, they are people of the same race. Even if they fight each other, they are unlikely to attack ordinary people. Just like we attack cities and land, they are mostly unreasonable to the people, because if there are no people, siege cities and land, they will lose their meaning."

Gao Shun nodded and said, "The grassland is very large and there are many Xianbei, so it is too difficult to kill them all."

Zhao Yun said: "I know all these things. What I want to listen to is not this, but a solution!"

Xun You immediately smiled, "The solution is very simple. Since the lord has set the tone of fighting to support war, it is only possible to continue to fight and attack the Xianbei tribes, so that they can be passive and plundered. The lord has accumulated morale and strength through victory again and again. For example, this time, when so many war horses are plundered back, our number of cavalry can at least double!"

"If we can get such a big gain every time, then our development will definitely be faster than those Xianbei tribes who accept refugees. After all, it will take time for them to merge into other tribes, but all we lack is war horses. As long as we keep strong steps and lead them step by step, this problem will no longer exist."

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "To give the simplest example. Now there are about 100,000 tribes in Xianbei. I will kill one and kill five thousand people, so the remaining five thousand people will be integrated into other tribes. Maybe there is no problem with five thousand people integrating into ninety-nine tribes, but with my subsequent battles again and again, I will only kill five thousand people each time, and they escaped five thousand people. Then when there are only ten tribes left, do you know what will be born?"

"The 90 tribes that were destroyed before will have 450,000 people gathered among these ten tribes, and on average each tribe has more than 40,000 people! If I continue to fight and fight to the end, only one tribe will be left, the last tribe will have at least 300,000 people! If I want to conquer it, it will be more than ten times more difficult than before?"

Xun You and Gao Shun looked at each other, and they laughed at the same time.

Zhao Yun was stunned, "Why are you two laughing?"

Gao Shun said: "My lord is such a bad word. Not to mention that the analogy you just did is just a theoretical guess. Even if it is true in front of you, the final result will definitely not be what you said."

Xun You nodded: "Yes, if there were indeed a hundred Xianbei tribes in front of us and let us fight, the final result would not be that the broken Xianbei people would join other tribes to strengthen them. Instead, after the lord conquered thirty Xianbei tribes or fifty Xianbei tribes, the remaining Xianbei tribes would either never dare to accept refugees or take the initiative to pay tribute to the lord, begging him not to attack them again."

"Because of the victory after victory before, you have already planted the seeds of your extremely powerful in the hearts of the Xianbei tribes. These seeds will gradually take root as the lord wins again and again. In the end, those Xianbei tribes will only be frightened by your reputation and escape in sight, rather than everyone gathering together to kill you, lord!"

When Zhao Yun fought, he actually felt that he was playing games in his heart. There were too many games in later generations, and various strategic games filled the entire world. In the game, it was unlikely that it would be NPC or players to give up resistance until the moment of its final destruction.

Because players think that the game can be repeated after death, NPC is a program that has been set long ago, and there is no such thing as surrender. Therefore, there are often situations in the game where the last soldiers and soldiers are fighting!

However, this is not the case in reality. No matter how afraid of death is, people who are not afraid of death will cherish their lives and will not seek death easily. These are two completely different concepts: an army of ten thousand people, if they are beaten to death by others without special circumstances, they will be defeated, and if they are killed by others, they will completely lose their fighting spirit. The remaining people either run around and run away or surrender!

Because they can't beat the soldiers, they are also humans, and it is difficult for them to fight to the best of everything. They also have their own ideas. Unlike the soldiers in the game, they will fight wherever the player clicks the mouse. If they don't die until no one is left, they will never stop fighting.

Therefore, Zhao Yun often uses game thinking to understand war intentionally or unintentionally, which is a bit too pretentious. This is something he brought to him by his life experience of more than 20 years in his previous life. After only two years of traveling, he was unable to completely reverse this concept.

Therefore, in the view of Xun You and Gao Shun, the issue he was worried about was actually not a problem at all.

If you can really destroy thirty or fifty tribes in one hundred tribes, then every remaining tribe will definitely be trembling, afraid that your next target will be him!

It is already considered brave to run away before you arrive, so how dare you fight against you?

Looking for death?

Reality is not a game, it is not as complicated as Zhao Yun thought. Of course, it is definitely not simple. Sometimes reality is simpler than games, but sometimes reality is also much more complicated than games.

As for the fact, it depends on the specific incident...
