"Fengxiao. How can you ensure that the Xianbei people who were seconded by us will obey our instructions and dispatch? After all, when we were seconded with their patriarch, we just told them to go with us and show the scene.
They were not asked to fight one. Moreover, the strength of the Xianbei people was to gallop on horseback. Now they were on a sea boat. Most of them had no mounts. Their strength would definitely decline even further. This was also a matter of fact.
How to conquer Cao Cao's strong city?"
I have to say that the question that Liu Ming suddenly thought of was indeed a key issue. Hundreds of strangers gathered together and were directed by another stranger, which would be a mess. What's more, the 800,000 people were huge.
What about the number? Don't be too much. As long as there are 10,000 or 20,000 out of these 800,000 people with different minds, the millions will immediately become a mess. At that time, the trouble will be great.
Like when these 800,000 Xianbei people gathered together, they didn’t even have a formation when they walked. If it weren’t for Liu Ming’s own troops, they would have been sufficient. Moreover, the quality of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the army was very strong,
In the end, each team of 100 people led 400 Xianbei herders to maintain the formation. Not to mention coaxing Cao Cao, even if ordinary people watched it, they would not be able to deceive them and could only become a farce.
However, when facing Liu Ming's question, Guo Jia was not surprised at all and said confidently: "Lord. Those Xianbei people are just a group of profit-oriented people. For them, who is the great man in our world really in power?
It doesn't matter. Now they surrender to us temporarily and obey our orders in a limited manner. In addition to being strong enough, it is because we have given them enough benefits."
Liu Ming nodded and agreed with Guo Jiade's view. If the Xianbei people had not fallen into the battle in the Korqin grassland, they would have been defeated and they would not dare to confront Youzhou. They would not have been so
Honestly cooperated with Youzhou. If it weren't for the grassland market in Korqin County, it would have greatly facilitated the exchange of materials for the Xianbei tribe, and brought the indispensable salt and tea, as well as fine wine and food to the Xianbei people.
I wouldn't be so honest and obedient.
When Guo Jia saw Liu Ming's nod, he felt even more proud and continued, "Now, these Xianbei people have been seconded by us and have gathered at our hands. As long as we take Puyang, we will let them plunder it.
Tell them that everything they rob will belong to them personally. We don’t need our orders. These Xianbei people who have long inherited the tradition from their ancestors will spontaneously go and plunder them. As for their command and
There is no need to dispatch the troops at all. We don’t expect them to conquer any city for us, we just need them to create chaos. The amount of 800,000 is enough to turn Cao Cao’s Yanzhou upside down. What’s more, based on our information, Cao Cao’s
The heavy troops were concentrated in Guandu, Puyang, Xiapi, Qinglong Camp, Baihu Camp and other places. With these 800,000 Xianbei people plundered them in various parts of Yanzhou, Cao Cao would definitely not divide his troops to rescue Cao Cao's Xu Du.
In this way, our strategic purpose of surprise attacks on Xudu and Guandu will be achieved."
Liu Ming was stunned: Liu Ming never expected that Guo Jia's mobilization of the 800,000 Xianbei people was not commanding and controlling at all, but provoking his greed and allowing him to act spontaneously.
At this time, Guo Jia was still proudly saying: "The physical fitness of the 800,000 Xianbei people is much better than the Taiping Taoist priests who were hungry at the beginning. And they were holding real swords,
Real guns are far better than the Taiping Taoist priests who held hoes and wooden sticks. Even if they don’t have horses, Cao Cao’s small troops would never dare to go out of the city to fight.
Moreover, even if they die in battle, they will be causing trouble by robbing themselves, and they have nothing to do with us, let alone compensate for any pensions. At that time, the heads of the Xianbei tribe will not blame us. What's more, if
All the 800,000 Xianbei people were killed in Yanzhou, which was also a blow to the entire Xianbei tribe. Although these Xianbei herdsmen were not elite soldiers of the Xianbei people, their entire population was full of soldiers, and one was killed less than one. If they died again, they would die.
With these 800,000 people, their follow-up power will be even smaller. Their women and children will be even more. This will also facilitate our use of military forces against the Xianbei in the future and allow them to be completely incorporated into our rule."
Guo Jia was speaking proudly. The rest of the audience nodded frequently. Only Liu Ming's head seemed to be in full swing.
Although Liu Ming was sure that the Xianbei people could not destroy large-scale cities, just like when the Taipingdao Uprising rebelled, the cities with city defense could only be besieged, but not conquered. Without the help of siege equipment, the Xianbei people only needed to defend the city.
He would not be able to conquer any city without surrendering. However, Liu Ming also knew deeply that if the Xianbei people plundered in Yanzhou, there would be no one who could get rid of being killed without the protection of the city.
The bad luck of being robbed. Even if a Xianbei kills two Han people, it will be much more powerful than the Nanjing Massacre. What's more, those Xianbei people even do things like Japanese without the constraints of organization and discipline.
It is not surprising that inhuman things such as adultery, genocide, etc.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming's nameless anger suddenly arose. Thinking of the upcoming all the tragic situations was just caused by his own selfish selfishness. Liu Ming's anger could not be suppressed.
As a person who came from a modern background and accidentally returned to ancient times, after so many years of ups and downs, many places have been integrated with the ideas of people of this era. However, as a person who has received a modern education, Liu Ming still sees some places.
It is very thorough. It is like unifying the world and allowing the people of the world to live in peace. To put it bluntly, it is just that the interest groups led by themselves want to be emperors and let the people who follow them have a long-term wealth.
Liu Ming did not object to this. Who doesn’t want to be rich after living for a lifetime? It’s understandable to work hard for this. Especially in the world, civil strife has begun. Civil war has already happened. Even if you don’t fight for it, others will
I will fight for it. In the end, I still can't avoid it. Instead of doing that, it's better to fight for it and let the people who follow me have a better future. Therefore, after Liu Ming was involved in the world, he not only did not
Oppose it and actively participate.
However, this also has a certain bottom line. Now Guo Jia's proposal has touched Liu Ming's moral bottom line and Liu Mingren's bottom line.
As for Liu Ming, who was a soldier, when the two armies fought, no matter how many soldiers died on both sides, they would die. Since soldiers, no matter what reason they were in the army, they were trained and died on the battlefield, there was nothing to say.
Liu Ming's greatest effort was to treat the captives well so that they would not have any worries about their lives after putting down their weapons.
However, for non-combatants, especially innocent people, Liu Ming would never tolerate his swords and guns swinging on their heads. The war should not hurt innocent people.
"No! Such plans have hurt too many people. They are not desirable. They must be reckoned. If there is no other discussion, continue to act according to our original plan." Liu Ming suppressed his anger and said firmly.
Guo Jia was stunned. Guo Jia really didn't expect Liu Ming to reject this plan because of this. Apart from Guo Jia, the rest of the people present were also stunned. However, Xun Yu, Xun You, and even Yang Jun
After a moment, everyone secretly admired: A real man does what he does, but he does not. The lord is indeed a kind monarch.
However, after being stunned, Guo Jia said unwillingly: "Lord, kindness is not in charge of the army. Mercy cannot be used on the enemy. What does the people under Cao Cao have to do with our Youzhou? What's more, their sacrifices,
This is also done so that the lord can quickly unify the world and enable the people in the world to enjoy the lord's kindness. Those who sacrificed for this will also be satisfied."
"Stop talking!" Liu Ming became even more angry.
No matter how beautiful it is, the people are the people. There is only one life for the people. Even the people under Cao Cao are the children of China. Moreover, why can you sacrifice another person for someone? The sacrificed one
Isn’t a human being? Isn’t his life worth protecting?
However, Liu Ming was angry, but he couldn't smile bitterly. From Guo Jiade's words, Liu Ming could hear that in Guo Jiade's concept, the people of Youzhou were their own people, and the people outside Youzhou,
It has nothing to do with yourself. And the people under the enemy are the enemies. If they destroy them, they will also eliminate the enemy's strength. This is quite obvious localism. This theory seems to be the first to integrate the Wuhuan tribe.
What Yang Jun and others misunderstood. Now it seems that this view has been implemented very successfully. At least Guo Jia has agreed with this view through subtle influence over the years. This has to be said to be his own mistake.
Ming was very regretful, why didn’t he explain the harm of localism clearly at the beginning?
Liu Ming suppressed his anger and whispered to Guo Jia: "No one will be willing to sacrifice."
"For the sake of the great cause of the lord, Jia is willing to sacrifice everything." Before Liu Ming finished speaking, Guo Jia expressed his determination. Guo Jia really wanted to help Liu Ming complete the great cause of unification as soon as possible. He really didn't want to miss the great good in front of him.
Chance.
"Hmph." Liu Ming was so angry that he was happy. He stared at Guo Jia and said, "For me, you are willing to sacrifice. Then, for Cao Cao, are you also willing to sacrifice?"
Cao Cao? With Guo Jia's quick-turning mind, he didn't even think about how he could sacrifice for Cao Cao.
Guo Jia could only grit his teeth and replied: "Then Cao Cao is our stumbling block, how could I sacrifice for him? This is absolutely impossible."
"That's it. Even you think so. How could the people under Cao Cao be happy to think that their sacrifice is worth it when facing the robbers who destroyed their homes?"
Of course, Guo Jia understood Liu Ming's intention. And Guo Jia would say that back then just for the sake of good sounds. Success, king, defeat, and victorious people can of course say whatever they want.
Therefore, Guo Jia said the truth: "Since ancient times, success, kings and defeats, bandits, and the people are ignorant and cowardly. We are the ones who are in control of their life and death. As long as it is beneficial to the lord's actions, the lord's losses can be minimized for unifying the world. Most of the lord's losses will be minimized.
The people can live and work in peace and contentment and sacrifice some of the lives of the people. That is our choice. The lord must not delay the pace of unification of the world because of his temporary kindness. That will only make more people in dire straits."
"Hmph! The world has not been unified yet, so we have to sacrifice so many people first. How can this bring benefits to the people of the world? Even the people in all parts of the world are like living under Dong Zhuo's governance.
Slavery. But they still have a glimmer of hope. They have hopes that we will defeat Dong Zhuo and rescue them. But let the Xianbei people kill and plunder, and the people who died because of this will no longer have any hope. In this way, we
What is the difference between Dong Zhuo who is inhumane? "Liu Ming originally wanted to talk about the Japanese invaders, but when he thought that the word "Japanese invaders" was not yet, he temporarily changed it to Dong Zhuo.
Liu Ming said this, and Guo Jia didn't say anything. This involved the fundamental reason for being a human being. Although Guo Jia did not agree, he always advised people to be good, so how could he persuade people to do evil? He tried his best to persuade Liu Ming to do evil.
Guo Jia still can't do such a thing.
However, Guo Jia really didn't want to let go of such an opportunity. Guo Jia thought of another possibility and said, "Lord. If so, we just don't use the Xianbei people. Anyway, Cao Cao didn't have it at this time either.
We can stop our continued advancement and speed up our journey. Before Cao Cao reacted, we could advance at night. Perhaps our cavalry could sneak attack Xudu. Moreover, even if not, we can still capture Puyang after
, to transfer the Xianbei people back and send them back to the grassland. In that case, it would only add a little difficulty to our surprise attack troops. You see, it will be done."
This idea is good. Although it is increasing some of the risks. However, as long as Guandu is opened, there will be no way too many soldiers and horses to rescue Cao Cao in the hinterland of Yanzhou. This plan can still work completely. In this world, where is the case?
If you have a perfect plan and a more than six points, it is worth doing. What's more, this is already eight points.
Liu Ming immediately sent an order, ordering Liu Shi from the front to draw out the army and horses from Youzhou headquarters and lead the special forces team to advance quickly. If he could no longer pass, he would seize Puyang.
