Chapter 2924: Increase troops on the eastern front, Bai Qi recovered from injury


    Chapter 2921: Renew troops on the eastern front, Bai Qi was injured and healed


    Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Xuchang.


    After looking at the system''s prompts, Ying Hao couldn''t help but sigh: "I didn''t expect that Qingzhou would be unified so easily, just like Haizhou. I thought that a decisive battle would break out in Qingnan."


    In the Central Plains War, although the focus of the Qin army was to start with the west and then the east, it did not mean that Ying Hao did not pay attention to the eastern front.


    To be honest, Zhu Di first severely damaged Zhou Yu''s navy, and then suppressed the dissatisfaction of the Qi army. Finally, he took the initiative to give up Qingnan and let the Ming and Song coalition forces escape unscathed. This performance was perfect, even better than Cao Cao''s corresponding method.


    Compared with Zhu Di, who did not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, Cao Cao, who had to fight for an inch of land, was still narrow-minded after all.


    Cao Cao wanted to cover everything, but in the end he couldn''t get any good at all, so Cao Cao''s army was almost destroyed on the Western Front, and Cao Cao only led his cavalry to retreat to the Eastern Front.


    So far, the 33rd armies of the Qin army on the eastern front of the Qin army have lost 35,000 naval forces and the army has also lost 35,000. A total of 70,000 troops have been killed and killed in the three-month battle.


    On the other hand, the 500,000 Ming and Song coalition forces on the defense were suppressed by the 330,000 Qin army. After three months of war, many battles in Qingnan suffered 55,000 casualties. Zhou Yu''s attack on Jianghuai Haidian Defense caused nearly 9,000 casualties to the coalition forces, and the East China Sea Battle was even more 57,000 casualties, and the total casualties reached 130,000.


    The Qin army lost 70,000, and such a loss is not small. However, while the Qin attacked the coalition forces defended, the Ming Song coalition forces, which had a defense line in Qingnan, lost 130,000 troops, and the total casualties were 60,000 more than the Qin army on the attacking side. They also took the initiative to give up the three counties in Qingnan. Such a record can also be called a great victory.


    The main contribution of the Qin army in Qingnan to achieve such a battle was Zhou Yu. If it weren''t for his uninterrupted dispatch of troops to harass the Ming Dynasty''s maritime defense line and thus restraining nearly 200,000 Ming troops, the 250,000 Qin army on the northern line alone would naturally not have been able to suppress the 500,000 coalition forces.


    But even Zhou Yu made a big mistake in the naval battle. If he had not overestimated the land combat capabilities of the Qin Navy and made a misjudgment, the Qin Navy would not have suffered such great losses.


    However, Zhou Yu was lucky and ordered him, but he later led the army to fight a naval battle, but the pot was thrown to Qi Jiguang. Of course, Qi Jiguang was not responsible at all.


    Zhou Yu also knew that most of the responsibility for this matter was him. Qi Jiguang was just helping him take the blame, so he took the initiative to take responsibility and pleaded for Qi Jiguang.


    Ying Hao considered that the navy lost nearly half of the losses in the battle and a large number of generals were either seriously injured or killed in battle. Now it is the time when people are short of people, so it is naturally impossible to punish Qi Jiguang severely, so it was only a symbolic punishment of military pay for several months.


    The Qin army lost 70,000 troops on the front battlefield but failed to capture Qingnan. As a result, Zhu Di voluntarily withdrew his troops due to Cao Cao''s defeat, which allowed the Qin army to occupy the three counties of Qingnan without any effort.


    Of course, it is just occupation.


    Like Haizhou, which is now in turmoil, Qingnan, which is also occupied without bloodshed, also contains many hidden dangers. The biggest of them is that the local people are not obeying the rule of the Qin Dynasty.


    From the intelligence on the front line and the fact that Zhuge Liang had left 35,000 defenders before leaving, it is not difficult to judge the resistance of the Qingnan people to the notice of the Qin Dynasty, otherwise how could so many troops be needed to guard it?


    In response to this, Ying Hao asked with confusion: "Why do the people of the three counties in Qingnan do not obey our rule of Qin?"


    You should know that when the Qin army occupied the four counties of Yanxi, the people of Yanzhou were celebrating each other and welcomed the Qin army into the city happily. Why was the situation completely different when it was Qingnan''s turn?


    If you want to say faith, most of the people in Qingxu believe in Ming Cult, but even the orthodox Ming Cult is integrated into the Qin Dynasty, and the Ming Cult believers in Qingnan have no reason to resist the rule of Qin.


    It can be said that the tax rate of Daqin is not only lower than that of Ming Dynasty, but also more friendly to the lower-level people. But why do the people resist the Qin Dynasty’s notification to Qingnan?


    Seeing this, Jia Xu quickly stood up and explained: "Your Majesty, Ming State is different from Wei State.


    The people of Wei all lived a hard life, which was so hard that they could barely maintain food and clothing. Cao Wei''s policies were extremely strict with the people at the bottom, so the people of Yanxi naturally hoped to be under our rule of Qin.


    But the people of the Ming Dynasty were different. The Ming Dynasty had no family exploitation, no harsh taxes, and the robbery gains from Yingzhou made the Ming Dynasty have enough wealth to develop internal governance, so the people lived a relatively wealthy life.


    Once the people have a better life, they naturally do not want a war to break out. However, our army''s conquest of the Central Plains has made the entire Qingnan area a battlefield. Among the 120,000 troops lost by the coalition forces, more than 50% of the former Qi army belonged to the former Qi army, and these soldiers were all locals in Qingnan.


    The total population of the three counties in Qingnan is only more than 1.3 million, but more than 60,000 young and strong people died at the hands of our army, which caused one-third of the families in Qingnan to lose males, which is why it is so resistant to our army''s rule. ”


    "I see."


    Ying Hao showed a sudden look and thought to himself: Cao Cao is really powerful in his power. He has not even attacked the peasant uprising when he exploited the people to such an extent.


    Even if the people of Cao Wei are the most miserable among all forces, so even if many people die in the Qin and Wei war, as long as they are under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, it is equivalent to bottoming out and rebounding, which is a breakthrough between zero and one, and there will naturally be hope for life.


    On the other hand, the people of Ming Dynasty lived a good life. Even if the Qin Dynasty had better policies, they would only be upgraded from two to three, and there was no substantial difference, so naturally they could not make up for the pain of losing their son and husband.


    In this regard, Jia Xu proposed three solutions to solve this problem:


    First, send more troops to garrison to prevent the people from turmoil due to hatred.


    The second is to strengthen publicity on the downplay of hatred, and to downplay hatred through accumulated brainwashing publicity and time. The third is to put all the blame on Zhu Di, and to promote that if he had not been a mantis arm, how could so many people have died, so that the people''s hatred for the Qin Dynasty was transferred to Zhu Di.


    Ying Hao naturally adopted Jia Xu''s approach one by one, but the effect was not good. The problem in southern Qinghai is the same as that in Haizhou in the northwest. It cannot be solved in a short time and it will take a long time to completely digest it.


    "Now there are 370,000 coalition forces in Xuzhou, and Zhou Yu''s navy needs to be repaired. Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang''s eastern front left enough troops to garrison the rear, and the troops of the two sides are a full 190,000. There is already a lack of progress in terms of military strength."


    Ying Hao sighed, he ordered Su Dingfang and Zhuge Liang to march. His original intention was to fight a decisive battle in Qingnan to weaken the total strength of the Song and Ming coalition forces. However, Zhu Di did not accept the call and directly preserved his strength by abandoning the car and protecting the general.


    After Zhu Ming gave up the three counties in Qingnan, although his strategic space and war potential were reduced, he did not need to fight for a long time, and the front line was more perfect.


    In addition, although Xuzhou is easy to attack and difficult to defend, as long as the northern Langya County remains unresolved, the 370,000 troops will be more than enough in terms of military strength and the maneuver power will be greatly improved, so that the threat of Zhou Yu''s navy will be minimized in the future.


    "I thought Cao Cao was the biggest obstacle for our army to conquer the Central Plains, but I didn''t expect that Zhu Di, the Ming Chengzu, was not inferior. No one can underestimate him." Ying Hao thought to himself.


    "Your Majesty, Xuzhou''s coalition forces are more than 370,000," said Guo Jia.


    "Huh? What''s going on?"


    Ying Hao was stunned and asked immediately: "Has the Yandong Demon Sect Rebel Army moved to Xuzhou?"


    Although the rebel army formed by the Demon Sect has weak combat power, it is because of its large number and many masters. Although it does not pose a threat to the Qin army on the front battlefield, it will be quite troublesome if it retreats to defend.


    However, after experiencing a very strong expansion in the short term, the leaders of the major rebel armies of the Demon Sect were also willing to preserve their strength, so there was a disagreement within whether to support Wei and resist Qin.


    An Lushan, the nominal leader of the rebel army, has not yet been able to completely integrate the rebel army of the Demon Sect. Only after the real integration is completed can he pose a threat to the Qin army.


    "The Demon Sect Rebels did not transfer to Xuzhou, but according to the information collected by the Black Ice Platform, after the Battle of the East China Sea, the naval forces of the Ming and Song dynasties suffered heavy losses, but by purchasing prisoners of war from Liu Xiu of the Eastern Wu naval army from the East China Sea, their naval forces were quickly recovering." Guo Jia made a statement.


    "Not only that, Cao Wei was also buying prisoners from Liu Xiu, but the ones they bought were all infantry. The prisoners of war in the Eastern Wu captured by Chu were almost conquered by the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming." Jia Xu also said.


    Ying Hao couldn''t help but twitch, thinking: Zhu Di, Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Cao are so forced to do something like buying prisoners and exiles.


    Using prisoners of war as a military force is at least stronger than training new recruits from scratch, but morale will definitely not be too high. Faced with a strong army like the Qin army, it can only be used to defend the city, and field battles are basically of little use.


    "Wait, after Cao Cao''s extreme military expansion, he was so poor that he was almost consuming dirt. Now he was at the end of his life. He still had money to buy prisoners from Liu Xiu?"


    Anyway, Ying Hao didn''t believe that Liu Xiu would give prisoners to Cao Cao for free. After all, this guy got up early without any profit. This time, he finally smelled the business opportunities of population trading, and it was even more impossible to let go.


    "According to the information explored by Black Ice Platform, Liu Xiu allowed Cao Cao to pay off his debts with materials, while Cao Cao directly sold 3,000 war horses, which led to the transaction."


    "Haha, they have a lot of tricks. They change their ways and use any means to restore their strength. However, if the coalition forces can use prisoners of war to serve as soldiers, our army can naturally doom. If the coalition forces want to fight and consume and drag down our army, they are destined not to succeed."


    After saying that, Ying Hao restrained the sneer at the corner of his mouth and asked Guo Jia: "How is Li Cunxiao''s 100,000 surrendered troops reorganized?"


    From Cao Ren''s surrender, Ying Hao ordered Zhuge Liang to advance, and Zhu Di took the initiative to withdraw his troops, the Qin army occupied the three counties in Qingnan without a single soldier, which only half a month has passed.


    Ying Hao gave Li Cunxiao a month, and now half of it has passed. After the training of these 100,000 troops is completed, he plans to send these 100,000 people to support the Eastern Front when there is no shortage of troops on the Western Front.


    The lower limit of Zhu Di''s troops on the Eastern Front is 370,000. The upper limit of the purchased prisoners of war and newly recruited recruits will not be less than 430,000.


    Before Zhou Yu''s naval army was restored, it would be good to rely solely on Zhuge Liang and Su Dingfang''s 180,000 troops to maintain the previous ratio of enemy-to-wealth damage. It is obviously unlikely to chew this hard bone, so it is urgent to increase troops on the eastern front.


    "Your Majesty, the reorganization of the 100,000 Cao Wei surrendered army has been going smoothly, but the person in charge is General Zhao Yun. After Li Cunxiao was appointed as the Grand Governor of Yanzhou, he became the decentralized military affairs and became the boss of the hand-off, and studied martial arts with Jia Fu."


    As soon as Guo Jia said this, not only Ying Hao could not hold back, but even Jia Xu couldn''t stop the corners of his mouth.


    Although Jia Fu was seriously injured in the Battle of Dongjun, he was lucky enough to obtain the complete "Blood Nervous" and "Shura Sutra" from the Styx, completely completing the future martial arts path.


    Originally, Jia Fu had such a serious injury, he had to recover for at least half a year, or even a year, but after he had supplemented his skills, his recovery ability also increased greatly. It only took two or three months to heal his injuries. But now he has recovered 60% or 70%.


    As for why Jia Fu recovered from Chenliu, he naturally obeyed Ying Hao''s orders and passed on "Blood Nervous" to Bai Qi.
