Chapter 176, beheaded(1/2)
Xu Wei, who was dealing with Huns affairs in Meiji, couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this incident!
Then he said to one of his secretaries: "Remember that Niu Gui, Wang Lei, and Zhao Rong got into a fight and were fined one month! The Xianbei women and children who came to Yunzhong County were divided into three parts and asked to take them back each. At the same time, tell them,
Soon there will be tens of thousands of Huns going to them, let them get ready! Stop quarreling!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Ge and Zhang Baiqi, who were handling government affairs here, both looked at Xu Wei!
Xu Wei explained to them: "Didn't Huanglong bring tens of thousands of women and children from the Xianbei people? Now Niu Gui, Wang Lei, and Zhao Rong all rely on these women and children to attract young people to their territory, so that they allocate
Uneven fighting has begun!”
Hearing Xu Wei's words, Zhang Baiqi and the others burst into laughter. They did not expect that Niu Gui and the others would do such a thing!
Wang Ge was even more surprised and said: "No, Niu Gui is the second most powerful general in our Tengjia Army. How can Wang Lei and Zhao Rong be Niu Gui's opponents!"
Xu Weidao: "Wang Lei and Zhao Rong join forces to defeat Niu Gui!"
These Wang Ge smiled even more heartily!
After Zhang Baiqi finished laughing, he said: "Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong counties are indeed moving to Shibian. It just so happens that there are too many Huns in Meiji, which is not conducive to the rule of our Tengjia Army. We will start with the Huns from Meiji."
It is best if only women and children go to Shuofang Three Counties! At the same time, all the young and strong refugees accommodated in Mayi should also immigrate there. They have nothing. If they knew that there were 100 acres of land in Shuofang Three Counties, they would go there! And this also has
It is conducive to our rule. As long as they marry Han people, their offspring will naturally become Han people!"
Xu Wei nodded and agreed with this opinion but still said: "Some Han people must be moved here in Meiji. No matter where we are, the number of Han people must account for more than half, otherwise our rule will be difficult to penetrate!"
The only thing Xu Wei feels lucky about now is that Han registered residence is very valuable in this era. Whether they are Xianbei people, Huns or Wuwan people, they are all rushing to become Han people. As long as the Tengjia Army does not discriminate against them internally, they will not recognize their Han identity.
very high!
Everyone also thinks that some tribes should be moved to the three counties of Yunzhong County. The population of the three counties does not exceed 100,000, but now Yanmen County has a population of more than a million. This population is very uneven. Of course, except for this
In addition, the population structure is also very unstable. This time they occupied the territory of the entire southern Huns. The population of Mayi soared to about 1.6 million, including 500,000 Huns, 300,000 Xianbei, and 5-6 Wuwan people.
Ten thousand, which means that the Han people cannot even occupy half of the Tengjia Army's territory. This is a very dangerous structure!
Wang Ge thought for a while and said: "It seems that we need to ask our old friend Dong Zhuo for help! There are too many barbarians in our territory now. If there is no population replenishment, we have to stop the conquest of the Xianbei people!"
Now the places where the Tengjia Army can replenish the population are the war-torn Youzhou and Dong Zhuo in Taiyuan County!
It's a pity that these two places also have congenital defects. The population of Youzhou is only more than one million, and Bingzhou does not even have one million. Xu Wei feels puzzled. There are 500,000 Huns in Bingzhou, but the Han people in Bingzhou do not exceed one million, and
Jizhou is only one-third the size of Bingzhou, but has a population of close to ten million. This population distribution is too uneven.
Zhang Baiqi followed and said: "Although Bingzhou has a small population, Jizhou next to Bingzhou has a large population. We can even ask Zhang Yan to help us transport some refugees. Anyway, he can't support too many people hiding in the mountains!"
Xu Weidao: "You can give it a try!"
However, Xu Wei believed more in using people's hearts, so he said: "You can ask Zhang Yan if he is willing to help us transport the refugees to Mayi if we exchange a pair of armor for 10 refugees!"
Zhang Baiqi said: "Qu Shuai's price is too high. Now there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Jizhou, if not millions. If he really wants to exchange them for armor, does Zhang Yan really dare to bring millions of refugees to Mayi, or 50?"
For a refugee to buy a pair of armor, this is almost equivalent to thousands of dollars for a refugee! It is enough for Zhang Yan to earn!"
Armor in this era is really expensive. Xu Wei has this unique advantage because he is close to the desert. In addition, using ceramics as the main raw material for armor, he can easily arm more than 100,000 armored soldiers. But in other places, everyone can only
Only the real elite can wear leather armor if they can use their bodies to resist the knife, while only officers above the rank of general can wear iron armor!
The best cowhide armor in Han Dynasty costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Zhang Baiqi believes that Mayi's ceramic armor is more than three times stronger than leather armor. At 50,000 yuan a set, this is a friendly price!
Xu Weidao: "I'll leave the matter of contacting Zhang Yan to you and implement it according to your ideas. In short, try to get as many refugees to come to our Mayi."
"At the same time, find someone to tell Dong Zhuo that our Tengjia Army is buying the refugees for 1,000 yuan, and ask him if he can help with this!"
In October, the fourth year of Zhongping, Taiyuan County!
As soon as Dong Zhuo read Xu Wei's letter to him, he immediately summoned all his cronies!
Then give the letter to them to read!
Dong Zhuo lamented: "Thunder Lord is getting more and more powerful now. The Huns and Xianbei allied forces of 140,000 people were defeated by him in less than a month! Now even Meiji has been occupied by him. Come to think of it,
The Huns who have dominated the world for hundreds of years are about to be destroyed by Thunder Lord!"
Although he still doesn't know the news that Xubu Guduhou has been defeated, he already knows that Baima Tong died in the battle and the 40,000 Huns army was wiped out. And now even though Xubu Guduhou has not been defeated, Meiji
They were all occupied by Thunder Lord, and Xubu Guduhou became a rootless ping. His defeat was doomed!
And now Lei Gong actually wants refugees. Apparently the Xianbei people in Shuofang County and Wuyuan County were also defeated by Lei Gong, otherwise Lei Gong wouldn't want the population. Presumably he wants refugees to fill his newly occupied territory!
Li Jue scratched his head and asked: "General, what does this Lei Gong mean? He actually wants us to sell refugees to them, and he also pays thousands of dollars each. Refugees are not everywhere in the Han Dynasty. Who would use money to buy them? He
Are you kidding us?"
Guo Bang said strangely: "Yes! If we catch 100,000 refugees, will Lei Gong really give us 100 million yuan? If the refugees are really worth this price, how can the big man have refugees all over the world!"
At this time, Li Ru said coldly: "To other people, refugees are not valuable, but to Lei Gong, refugees are very valuable! After Lei Gong occupied Mayi, he has been fighting the Xianbei and Huns, and he has fought repeatedly.
Every time he won, a large number of prisoners were taken. It is said that just by conquering Baitan Mountain, Lei Gong captured hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people in Mayi alone, and this time they annexed the entire Southern Huns. With Lei Gong's character of not killing, most of the Southern Huns must have saved their lives.
There are 700,000 to 800,000 barbarians, and almost half of Lei Gong’s subordinates are barbarians, so that’s why Lei Gong is so eager for Han people to enrich his territory!”
Dong Zhuo said with a hint of fear: "The Huns have all been destroyed by Thunder Lord. If his 100,000 troops attack Taiyuan County, what can we do to resist it?"
Niu Fu said loudly: "Our Xiliang army is not easy to mess with. Sir, you are also experienced in hundreds of battles. There is the imperial court behind us. Lei Gong really dares to attack us. We can resist layer by layer. How can Lei Gong penetrate the whole army?"
Bingzhou!"
Obviously Ushisuke is saying the most cowardly words in the loudest voice!
Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "General, Lei Gong annexed the entire Xiongnu. Now he has held on. He will not attack outside the country without a few years of time! Otherwise, he will not ask the general for refugees! He just wants to improve.
The population of his territory!”
Dong Zhuo felt a little relieved after hearing Li Ru's words, and then asked: "Should we help Lei Gong collect the refugees? After the refugees arrive in Mayi, they will increase the strength of the Tengjia Army. I am worried that I will be trapped in a cocoon!"
Li Ru thought for a while and said: "For the general, the best option now is to leave the whirlpool of Taiyuan County and return to the fundamental place of Liangzhou. Although Lei Gong did not attack the Han Dynasty, he
His strength is getting stronger and stronger. After occupying Meiji, half of the counties in Bingzhou have been occupied by Lei Gong. There are millions of people under his rule, and he can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to go on an expedition. With such powerful strength,
They have replaced the Xianbei people and become the biggest enemy of our Han Dynasty!
The general's current position is too dangerous. When Lei Gong changes the direction of his attack, the general will be the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, the sooner he leaves Taiyuan County, the better for the general. His subordinates originally wanted the general to stay in the Hedong area, but now it seems that he can only return to Xiliang.
It’s our best choice!”
Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. I think it won't be long before the entire Han Dynasty will know that Lei Gong destroyed the entire southern Xiongnu and that the entire Xihe County was occupied by Lei Gong. Now that Lei Gong's troops have arrived in Hedong County, the court can no longer cover their ears and talk about Lei Gong.
There is no threat anymore, I am afraid that we will become the vanguard of the imperial court to resist Thunder God!"
Li Rudao: "It's not difficult to say. After Lei Gong annexed the entire southern Xiongnu, he would not send out troops until he had spent a few years. The general could use these few years to bribe the ten constant servants and ask them to change their position for the general. Now the general He Jun
The power of the army is getting stronger and stronger. The southern and northern armies are completely controlled by the general. The ten permanent servants have separated from the general. I think the ten permanent servants also need the general to protect their safety!"
Dong Zhuo said helplessly: "This is not an easy task. Everyone knows how greedy Shi Changshi is. If you don't have hundreds of millions of dollars, don't ask them to help. I don't have such a big family fortune either! Should Wenyou tell me the right strategy?
Li Rudao: "The middle strategy is to contact the imperial court to state the dangers of Thunder Lord, so that an army of 200,000 can be sent to completely annihilate Thunder Lord!"
Dong Zhuo was surprised and said: "Now the imperial court can provide 200,000 troops?"
Li Rudao: "There are really 200,000 troops around Mayi now. Liu Bei in Youzhou has led an army of 100,000 troops and has defeated Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the others. I think this winter we can completely wipe out Zhang Chun and the others. By then, Youzhou
This will free up 100,000 troops.
The general has 30,000 troops here, and 30,000 troops can be raised in other places in Bingzhou. Huangfu Song of Chang'an has 40,000 northern troops. At that time, the court can encircle the army on three sides. Huangfu Song attacks Lei Gong from Shangjun, and Liu Bei attacks Mayi from Daijun with these 20 troops.
Surrounded by an army of ten thousand, the general only needs to lead an army of 60,000 to defend Taiyuan County, which is enough to wipe out the Thunder Lord!"
Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "It's too unrealistic. Although the imperial court has this army, it does not have the financial resources to maintain an army of 200,000 in a battle within a few thousand miles! And what you said is also the most ideal situation. If Lei Gong defends continuously, in order to
Judging from Ma Yi's mobilization ability, he can recruit more than 200,000 troops for defense. If he fights with 200,000 against 200,000, the court will suffer the loss. If he cannot defeat Lei Gong after half a year of fighting, the court may not have food and grass to support the 200,000 army.
!”
Dong Zhuo knew the current situation of the court very well. He was too slow to deal with the Qiang rebellion. At first he only sent tens of thousands of people, but then he found that he couldn't win. He dragged his feet for more than a year to raise 100,000 horses, but this has already made it difficult for Dong Zhuo to win.
The treasury could no longer be maintained, so Zhang Wen, the leader at that time, wanted to win quickly. Instead, Bian Zhang and Han Sui seized the opportunity and defeated them one by one, leading to a huge defeat. But now it is necessary for the court to maintain a war of 200,000 people.
I can't keep it up for 3 months,
Li Rudao: "The next best option is for the general to wait here for Lei Gong to attack. We should have a few years. If the general builds Taiyuan County into a fortress, he digs deep, builds high walls, and builds more weapons, armor, horses, and sleepers.
Maybe we can withstand Thunder Lord’s attack!”
Dong Zhuo still shook his head and said: "It's even worse. Don't forget that the enemy is Thunder Lord. Who knows what thunder method he will use to break through the city wall! Although I know this is nonsense, I still haven't found Thunder Lord to break the city wall.
What method was used to build the city? There is no point in building high walls under such circumstances!
And even if I can withstand the thunderous man, I'm afraid that all the wealth I have accumulated over the past ten years will be consumed. Without the army, who in the court will care about me, this reckless man from Xiliang, and maybe they will just kick me back.
Xiliang, without military protection, I have offended so many people in Xiliang, how can they make it easy for me!"
After listening to Li Ru's words, Niu Fu said: "This doesn't mean that we don't have a way to survive!"
Dong Zhuo stood up and said: "Who said that? Li Ru has already told us that as long as we can get 100,000 refugees, it will be 100 million yuan. By then, whether it is used to bribe the ten permanent servants or to arm
Soldiers, this is the same path!"
"Open the Jingkou Pass so that refugees can enter Bingzhou. Lei Gong doesn't want refugees, so I will send him hundreds of thousands of refugees. There is a big man behind the old man, and he will worry about the lack of refugees. If Lei Gong can hold on, we can live a few more lives.
Year!"
