Chapter 191: Practice cavalry and look at the river trap
Chapter 190: Practice cavalry and look at the river trap
After dealing with the matter of the Hu tribe, Qin Hao waved his hand to dismiss the leaders, and then shouted softly at the generals in the hall, "Where is Yue Fei, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun?"
"The last general is here!" The three of them responded together.
"I will leave the three of you to recruit soldiers from the Hu people and train them!" Qin Hao said solemnly.
The Yanmen Army now has only 15,000 Han cavalry in the fifth battalion. This time, Qin Hao recruited 10,000 cavalry from the Hu people at one time, which is definitely a big deal, so he has no choice but to be careless.
Although nomads grew up on horseback and were born knights, they still need training when fighting as cavalry.
When Yue Fei and the other three heard this, their eyes were full of excitement. Since they were allowed to train, they might also be allowed to command this cavalry in the future.
That''s a total of ten thousand cavalry. Although they are Hu cavalry, they are rare and valuable. It''s really exciting to think about it.
"No!" the three of them hurriedly said.
Qin Hao saw that the three beloved generals looked full of energy and could not help but nod. Only with such enthusiasm could he train a good cavalry!
Qin Hao also knew that although the Yanmen Army''s military pay and benefits could win over a large number of Hu people, it could not guarantee their absolute loyalty. Qin Hao had four ways to ensure the loyalty of Hu people.
1. High treatment to win over the hearts of the people;
2. Control his family and make him feel scruples;
3. Disrupt the Hu people’s group and prevent them from joining each other;
4. During the training process, they were bombarded and brainwashed, and their thoughts of loyalty to the Yanmen Army were imprinted in their hearts.
Among these four points, the fourth item is the most important, and if the high-charming generals are trained, the brainwashing effect will be better. Therefore, Qin Hao asked Yue Fei, Qin Qiong and Zhao Yun to train three of the most charming people.
With these three highly charming generals, and with so many tricks, Qin Hao couldn''t conquer just ten thousand Hu Qi if he didn''t believe it.
"Gao Shun." Qin Hao continued.
"The last one will be there."
"You are responsible for escorting all slaves to Yanmen Pass."
“No!”
"I will return to Guangwu soon, but I will not be there during the period. The affairs of the three counties will be dominated by Mr. Wang Meng and Fan Zhongyan as the deputy. You can help you to stabilize the three counties!"
When the generals heard this, they were filled with doubts. The three counties had just been recovered, and it was the most chaotic time. The young master was able to stabilize the people''s hearts, but the young master wanted to leave at this time. What happened? The stability of the three counties was still important?
"Young Master, my Yanmen Army has obtained the three new counties. It is time for everything to be done. You should not leave!" Fan Zhongyan stood out and persuaded.
After Fan Zhongyan started, others also advised Qin Hao to stay, but Wang Meng''s eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
“Congratulations to the lord for being promoted soon!”
Wang Meng bowed to Qin Hao with a smile on his face, and Qin Hao laughed loudly when he saw this. Wang Meng was still powerful and saw the key at a glance.
"It''s really impossible to hide anything from sir. That''s right, the envoy of the court came, and the commander-in-chief urged me to go back to Guangwu to accept the reward. Of course, there is also the immigration problem of the three counties." The generals were also happy when they heard this. The young master made such a huge contribution this time, and the court would definitely give a great reward. The higher the Qin Hao''s status, their status will naturally rise.
But what is the situation with immigration?
I heard that the Yellow Turban gathered a million troops in Yanzhou. Can the imperial court still take into account the three counties?
Qin Hao naturally knew the doubts in everyone''s hearts, but he was not ready to explain. If his subordinates had something they didn''t understand and his lord wanted to explain, he wouldn''t be exhausted.
"The total number of Han people in the three counties in the north and north is only 100,000, and the total population of Hu people is not as good as that of our Yanmen county. With such a shallow foundation, it is difficult to protect yourself. How can we use this as a springboard to recover the Hetao land?"
After hearing what Qin Hao said, the generals were stunned at first, and then stunned.
The young master regained the three counties in the north and the north, and he actually wanted to regain the Hetao land. This is simply crazy!
The three counties in the north and central counties have been developed for more than a hundred years, and at least one city can be held on.
But in Hetao, which is north, although the land is fertile, it is flat. It is impossible to capture it without enough cavalry, and even if it is captured, how should we defend it?
The Hetao area is surrounded by the Yellow River on the west, north and east sides. Yinshan lies across the north of the Yellow River. Helan Mountain stands west of the Yellow River. Luya Mountain is blocked from the east of the Yellow River. It is adjacent to the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the south and blocks the river by mountains. The situation is dangerous.
The Yellow River in Hetao has stable water flow, fertile land on both sides, and can be cultivated and pastoral. It is said that "the Yellow River has many harms, only one rich one" in history, and it is also known as "the Yangtze River on the frontier".
After Qin unified the Central Plains, the First Emperor sent Meng Tian to lead an army of 100,000 to drive the Huns out of Hetao, migrated 30,000 households there to guard the border, and set up two counties, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing to defeat the Huns and occupied Hetao. Emperor Wu of Han successively established Shuofang County, Wuyuan County and Xihe County in Hetao.
In addition, Hetao also includes Dingxiang County, Northland, and Northland, so although Hetao is just one area, its actual area is not inferior to that of a state.
The three counties in the north and central areas also belong to Hetao, but they are only marginal areas. Starting from the three counties, the real essence of Hetao is to the north, but this part of the essence is still in the hands of the Huns.
Qin Hao dreamed of getting the Hetao Plain and had to get it. The land was too fertile and was the foundation of hegemony and must be in his hands.
It is no exaggeration to say that seeds are sown on the Hetao land, and food is grown without care.
If the Hetao area is well developed, this place alone can support tens of millions of people. If it is matched with the "magic artifact" of the first generation of hybrid rice, one Hetao can support half a big man.
Although Qin Hao obtained the first generation of hybrid rice seeds, Bingzhou is not suitable for growing rice. If the Guanxi Land wants to fully utilize this powerful tool, there are only Hetao and Guanzhong.
Therefore, Qin Hao must take over Hetao from the hands of the Huns. Of course, before regaining Hetao, Qin Hao must develop the three counties in the north and north.
Without a wealthy three central and northern counties as their foundation, Qin Hao could not afford enough cavalry to compete with Temujin for Hetao, so the policy of blaming the people for the border was imminent.
"Young master, if you want to take Hetao, you must have a large number of cavalry, but our army does not seem to have this strength at the moment?" Fan Zhongyan advised tactfully.
"I didn''t say that I will fight now!"
Qin Hao rolled his eyes. How could he not know such a simple truth?
When the generals heard that the young master was not going to fight now, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that the young master would get angry when he was defeated. They thought the Huns were not strong enough and led the troops to recover Hetao. That would be really a way to send people to their doorsteps!
