Chapter 177 The criminal border defense is launched
Chapter 177: Offenders start border defense
Ever since Huangfu Song massacred Yellow Turban prisoners of war in Jizhou, which in turn aroused strong resistance from the Yellow Turbans, the imperial court has made it clear that massacres of Yellow Turban prisoners are not allowed.
Of course, this order was issued not long ago, and the people who received the order were generals who were leading the army independently, so most of the Yellow Turbans didn't know about it and still hated the Han Dynasty.
After hearing Li Dingguo's request, Qin Wen was very surprised. He obviously did not expect that Li Dingguo would make such a request.
These Yellow Turban prisoners are in Qin Wen's heart, but they are Yanmen's future population and important labor force, so how can they be killed?
Moreover, the reason why the Han army slaughtered the prisoners was because these prisoners would consume their own military rations, and Yanmen did not lack this food, so there was no need to massacre them.
"I will agree to this one, let's talk about the next one!" Qin Wen stared into Li Dingguo's eyes and said seriously.
Seeing that Qin Wen didn't look hypocritical, Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qin Wen would be like Huangfu Song. He would rather die than surrender to a butcher. But now it seems that even if he doesn't say anything, Qin Wen will
Wen probably wouldn't do this either.
"I don't want to fight against my former compatriots, so I hope Lord Qin can allow me not to participate in the battle with the Yellow Turbans!"
If Li Dingguo's talents are used to quell chaos, he will definitely shine, but if he doesn't want to, Qin Wen can't force him.
Qin Hao secretly sighed in his heart, but he admired Li Dingguo even more.
This boy is not only good at both civil and military skills, but also has an upright character. He is a great talent!
"Okay, I promise you, you will stay at Yanmen Pass until the Yellow Turban Rebellion is completely suppressed!"
"Li Dingguo pays homage to his lord!"
"Okay." Qin Wen nodded with satisfaction, smiled and helped Li Dingguo up, and said: "Get up quickly, we are all a family from now on, there is no need to be so polite!"
"Report..."
At this moment, a messenger broke in and shouted: "Your lord, a letter from Guangwu."
When the generals heard the news from Guangwu, their nerves became tense.
The battle at Yanmen Pass is related to the foundation of the Yanmen Army. It is so important that everyone cannot ignore it.
Qin Wen took the letter with anxiety, fearing that he would see a hint of bad news, but he looked at his mouth opening wider and wider, as if he had seen a ghost.
"How is this possible?" Qin Wen said in disbelief, not realizing at all that his abnormal behavior had made everyone present feel their hearts sink to the bottom.
Could it be that Yanmen Pass was lost? The generals thought secretly.
"Brother." Qin Jian swallowed and asked with difficulty: "Isn't it bad news?"
"Fourth brother, why do you think so?" Qin Wen gave his younger brother a different look: "Yanmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and with Hao'er, Hu'er, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others here, what bad news can there be?
!"
"It scared me to death." Qin Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "So it's good news?"
"Of course it's good news, and it's great news!" Qin Wen laughed.
What great news? Could it be that the Huns have retreated? This is what all the generals thought in their minds.
"Brother, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly?" Qin Jian said urgently.
"See for yourself!"
Qin Wen directly threw the battle report to Qin Hu, then sat down and took a deep breath.
The news was so surprising that Qin Wen had to calm down his excitement.
"Father, commander-in-chief, Qin Hao was lucky enough to defeat the Xiongnu, annihilating 180,000 invading enemies, and beheading the Xiongnu chanyu on Fuluo's head..."
Qin Jian read word for word, his volume became louder and louder, and his expression became more exciting. As for the generals, they also had expressions of disbelief.
Li Dingguo's heart has also stirred up huge waves. He has only heard that the Qin family has great literary talents and has written many famous works. He did not expect that he could be so powerful in battle.
Excellent in both civil and military affairs is no longer enough to describe the young master. The young master is simply excellent in both civil and military affairs! Li Dingguo thought secretly.
"Congratulations, lord. Congratulations, lord. This time, my lord, I set fire to Yanmen Pass, set up an ambush at Donglongkou, and killed Yu Fuluo with my sword. I completely wiped out the main force of the Huns. It will be difficult for the Huns to invade the territory again in the next twenty years." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Young Master.
He has accomplished this unparalleled feat at the age of fourteen, and is already the first person after Wei Huo. Soon, the young master’s name will be spread all over the world!”
Qin Wen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. While he was happy, he also felt a little complicated.
Since Qin Wen took control of Yanmen, he fought with the Xiongnu for four full years, but in the end he did not gain as much as his son in the first battle, which made Qin Wen's proud heart slightly frustrated.
But Qin Wen soon figured out that his son was born extraordinary and too dazzling. Qin Wen had long been used to it. Anyway, everything he did was just paving the way for his son, so why bother?
Do you want to be jealous of your son?
"Hao'er's letter mentioned that the reason why we were able to achieve a great victory this time was because of the help of a great talent, and you also know this great military advisor." Qin Wen looked at Xi Zhicai with bright eyes and said calmly.
Smiled.
As soon as Xi Zhicai heard this, all the doubts in his heart were immediately solved.
Wang Jinglue, Wang Jinglue, you finally can’t stand it any longer!
As scheming as Xi Zhicai was, he had to admit that Qin Hao's battle was indeed beautiful. However, Xi Zhicai expressed doubts about such a flawless strategy. Did it really come from the hands of the young master?
It’s not that Xi Zhi looks down on Qin Hao, but the current Qin Hao is indeed far from the level of a senior counselor!
Although Qin Hao already has 96 points of intelligence, it still requires time and experience to fully utilize these 96 points of intelligence.
"Congratulations again, my lord. With brother Jinglue here, the young master will soon make another great contribution!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed, as if he could see through everything.
"Oh?" Qin Wen said differently: "What does the military advisor mean by this?"
"No one knows Brother Jinglue better than me. No matter burning Yanmen Pass, ambushing Donglongkou, or beheading Yu Fuluo, it is not the purpose of his plan."
"What do you mean by the military advisor?" Qin Wen was surprised, and after understanding it, he was surprised again and said: "The three empty counties of Central and North China?"
"That's right." Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded: "Soon, Yanmen will fill the territory of three more counties."
When he thought of the land that was about to capture three counties, an idea that had been deeply buried in Qin Wen's heart for a long time suddenly emerged.
It’s time to launch the ‘criminal people to guard the border’! Qin Wen secretly thought in his heart.
Facing the crowd, Qin Wen said sternly: "It is urgent to rebuild Yanmen Pass. I am going to write to the imperial court and request the imperial court to escort the Yellow Turban prisoners of war from all over the country to help me build the pass. By the way, I will also ask for credit for Hao'er and the soldiers who fought bloody battles."
"Qin Zheng, where is Li Dingguo?"
"The end is here!"
Qin Zheng immediately stood up with fists clasped, and Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, then he also stood up.
"Li Dingguo is the chief and Qin Zheng is the deputy. I order you two to immediately escort 80,000 prisoners of war back to Guangwu and follow the command of Hao Juncheng to repair the pass."
Li Dingguo was previously the second-ranked figure in Zhang Xianzhong's army and could quickly stabilize Yellow Turban prisoners of war, so Qin Wen put Li Dingguo in charge and Qin Zheng to assist.
Li Dingguo obviously did not expect that Qin Wen would arrange such an important task for him so quickly. He suddenly felt warm in his heart and shouted: "No!"
