Chapter 156: Complete calculations
Chapter 155: Calculate without any calculation
Qin Hao and even Wang Meng seemed to have not noticed the strangeness caused by Lu Bu. Facing Wang Meng, who was the generals, he still explained his views on his own.
"Although there are only 100,000 Han people in the three counties in the north and north, there are nearly 200,000 Hu people, and at least 100,000 Hu people. The tribes outside the Huns should not be moved lightly, otherwise it will arouse public anger, but we can enslave 100,000 Huns as laborers to cultivate the pass."
The generals of Yanmen suddenly lit up their eyes.
Yes, the Huns can treat Han people like pigs and dogs, so why can''t we enslave the Huns?
The generals felt excited when they thought of enslaving the Huns.
None of the generals present was kind to the Huns.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became warm, Wang Meng chuckled and continued, "Now on the battlefield in the Central Plains, the Yellow Turbans have fallen into decline. General Huangfu Song slaughtered 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. He wanted to slam the morale of the Yellow Turbans, but unexpectedly backfired, which aggravated the resistance of the Yellow Turbans at the grassroots level, which also made the court dare not do the massacre again."
The generals couldn''t help but nodded secretly, but what Wang Meng said was a fact. The Han Dynasty was extremely tough in treating the Yellow Turban, but now the number of Yellow Turbans following the crowd has exceeded 10 million, so the tough attitude must also change. After all, it is impossible to kill all tens of millions of people, right?
"The total number of Yellow Turban prisoners of war on all major battlefields is 400,000, and these prisoners of war cannot be killed or released, which has become the most troublesome problem for the court. However, for the court, these prisoners may be a burden, but for our Yanmen, it is a valuable labor force to restore Yanmen Pass."
Everyone''s eyes were lit up, yes, there were also Yellow Turban prisoners of war!
"Instead of consuming rice and food in the prison outside the pass, it is better to ask Lord Qin Wen to write to the court and exil to our Yanmen to our Yanmen, so that he can participate in the construction of Yanmen Pass."
A sneer flashed across Wang Meng''s lips and said softly: "Yanmen Pass is crucial, and for the sake of the stability of the northern border, I believe the court will be willing to get rid of these burdens."
There is another point that Wang Meng did not say clearly, that is, after the main force of Yanmen in Daijun defeated the Yellow Turban, the prisoners of war were probably not less than 70,000 to 80,000.
"Even if the 400,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war were only half, plus the 400,000 people in Yanmen, it would be enough to rebuild Yanmen Pass in three months." Qin Qiong bowed to Wang Meng and said respectfully, "Sir, great talent, Qin Qiong accepts!"
"I dare not imagine what I enslaved 100,000 Huns to cultivate the pass before. Mr. Wang, Qin Hu really admires you this time." Qin Hu said excitedly, and bowed to Wang Meng with respect.
"Sir, great talent, we will accept it." The generals of Yanmen saluted together.
"Everyone is serious!" Wang smiled indifferently and returned the gift humbly.
What does it mean to calculate without any calculation? What does it mean to have a long-term vision? What does it mean to take one step and look at three steps? Wang Meng alone took all of it.
At this time, the generals of Yanmen were truly convinced by Wang Meng. This is the level that the military brothers should have!
However, the generals just thought that Wang Meng wanted to use Yellow Turban prisoners of war to cultivate the barriers, but they did not know that Wang Meng''s move had a deeper meaning.
That is to expand the population of territory.
Wang Meng''s move coincided with Qin Hao''s plan to "sincere people''s border guards" but his methods were even more clever.
Because of the excuse of building Yanmen Pass, the court asked the court for Yellow Turban prisoners of war. The court could not even find an excuse to refuse, and this opportunity was also beneficial. When the Yanmen Army called for prisoners of war, the court was afraid that it would be too eager to force the prisoners of war.
In short, Wang Menghuo’s chain of plans to burn Yanmen Pass has three major benefits:
1. Annihilation of invading enemy troops and severely attacking the Huns can ensure long-term stability and stability of the rear.
2. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Huns, they took advantage of the situation to recover the three counties in the north and the central and northern regions. They not only took the opportunity to become famous all over the world, but also expanded the territory.
3. Using the excuse of rebuilding Yanmen Pass, we asked for Yellow Turban prisoners of war and enriched the population of the territory, so as to forge the foundation of the imperial path.
Any of these three points has an undeniable temptation to Qin Hao now, and these three benefits are the biggest reason why Qin Hao finally agreed to burn Yanmen Pass.
Wang Meng is building the foundation for Qin Hao''s future imperial path, so even if the risk is high, Qin Hao must take a risk. However, from the current point of view, this risk is almost equivalent to none.
"The fire of Yanmen Pass can only solve the 90,000 Xiongnu in Yanmen Pass, but there are 40,000 Xiongnu reinforcements outside Yanmen Pass." Seeing that the internal fire had almost reached the level of expectations in my heart, Qin Hao immediately said in a deep voice: "Yu Fuluo found that Yanmen Pass had a fire and would definitely come to support him. If he was asked to arrive at Yanmen Pass, it would be a waste."
"What should I do?"
"Of course we stopped Yu Fuluo from rushing to Yanmen Pass to help."
"Yes, the Xiongnu camp is only fifty miles away from Yanmen Pass."
…
Qin Hao''s words were shocked and he started to talk in a mess. Seeing this, Qin Hao frowned and shouted: "Shut up all of them."
When the generals saw that the young master was angry, they immediately did not dare to discuss it.
"What''s the matter? Since our army has sent troops, we must be fully prepared. What''s there to worry about?" Qin Hao shouted coldly.
"Did you all forget the secret passage?" Wang Meng interrupted.
When all the generals heard this, they wanted to slap themselves in the face. How could they forget such an important thing?
"Xu Huang, I will order you to lead five thousand archers to block the south gate of Yanmen Pass. As long as the Huns break through, shoot and kill them immediately!" Qin Hao said coldly.
"No!" Xu Huang replied with his fists.
"The whole army entered the secret passage!"
"No!" Everyone responded.
The secret passage dug by the Yanmen Army was very hidden, and was at the foot of a very inconspicuous hill five miles south of Yanmen Pass.
The secret passage is not as narrow as the generals imagined. Instead, it is very spacious, enough to accommodate ten people walking side by side. It is also built with bricks and stone, and the structure is very strong, so you don’t have to worry about collapse.
During the process of passing through the tunnel, everyone could feel the hot air waves coming from above, and even the armor on their bodies was burned to a fever. It can be seen that the Yanmen Pass above has definitely turned into a sea of ??fire!
As soon as they left the secret passage, the 35,000 army had already arrived five miles north of Yanmen Pass. At this time, everyone was soaked in sweat.
Looking at the sea of ??fire behind, Qin Hao had no time to sigh and immediately ordered: "Where is Shan Xiongxin?"
"The last one will be there."
"I ordered you to lead five thousand archers to block the northern gate of Yanmen Pass. You must not let the Huns go."
“No!”
"Twenty miles away, Donglongkou is the only way to Yanmen Pass. Guan Sheng and Qin Qiong, will you lead 8,000 troops to ambush the east of Donglongkou, and immediately kill you after your order is issued!"
"No!" Guan Sheng and Qin Qiong responded together.
"I personally led three thousand cavalrymen, the military camps, and the camps to face the enemy head-on. Zhao Yun, Yue Fei, Qin Yong, Qin Hu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun followed the army to fight."
"No." The six generals responded.
"I would also like to ask General Lu to lead 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry to meet the enemy head-on!" Qin Hao said seriously to Lu Bu beside him.
Lu Bu smiled indifferently and bowed to Qin Hao: "Okay!"
Qin Hao was stunned, but he didn''t expect Lu Bu to respond like this!
