The Xianbei people were defeated, the Wuhuan people ran away, but Wang Yu had no time to enjoy the joy of victory. Zhuge Liang quickly put away his enthusiasm for Ping Beice and focused on the aftermath.
Youzhou now is a big mess. The most troublesome problem now is that there are no people left. At this moment, ten rooms and nine empty houses are in a mess. The huge Youzhou has become a ghost.
The Han people fled and were captured. The Zahu, also out of fear of Wang Yu, followed Kuitou or Tadun and fled. There were only stragglers of the Hu people running around in the fields.
The grassland cavalry is actually a mob because their generals are not strong enough to lead. The experience accumulated from hunting and herding allows them to cooperate seamlessly and perform with ease in small-scale battles. However, once the scene is enlarged to a scale of ten thousand people, the tribal coalition forces will
There is no tacit understanding, let alone the execution of orders and prohibitions, which is the most important aspect of the Central Plains Art of War.
When fighting against the wind, they can rely on their bravery and everyone is brave. Once the situation goes bad, let alone the leader who already lacks prestige, even if Tan Shihuai comes back to life, he can't even think of ordering all the troops to move forward together.
Retreat together.
Most of the Hu Qi wandering around were defeated soldiers who had been beaten and couldn't distinguish between east, west, north and south. It was already dark when they were defeated, and the battlefield was very chaotic. Many people did not follow the brigade to escape, but ran wherever there were few people.
As I ran, I didn't know where I was.
After daybreak, they found that they could no longer find the main force and could not find their way back to the grassland. In despair, they became hysterical and wreaked havoc everywhere to vent their resentment and fear.
There are also some small tribes who have not received the news. They are greedy for the comfortable conditions of the Central Plains. They turned a deaf ear to the general retreat order issued by Kuitou. They believe that even the famous General White Horse has been defeated and no one can threaten the Central Plains.
It was up to them. By the time they learned from the defeated soldiers that something bad was going on, the Qingzhou Army's encirclement and suppression campaign had been launched in full swing, so they could only flee everywhere like the defeated soldiers.
The person who dealt with these people was Tai Shici, who was more experienced in this matter. When Wang Yu defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and obtained his first inheritance, he was the one responsible for suppressing the bandits.
Compared with the bandits of the past, Hu Qi are more fierce and more mobile, but because they don't know the way, they are much easier to deal with than the bandits of the past - the latter will use the terrain to defend or hide, and find them.
It is difficult to find, and it is not easy to fight once it is found. It is a great test to the patience of the pursuers.
Taishi Ci and his partner Wei Yan were both brave but patient masters. This task suited them both, and they performed it with great interest.
Clearing out the remnants is part of the aftermath and is also the prelude to a series of large-scale actions in the future. In Wang Yu's Pingbei policy, although most of the supplies came from the Central Plains, as a hub connecting the Central Plains and the grassland, Youzhou's prosperity
It's also very important.
No matter how convenient sea transportation is, there is no way to directly connect to the grassland, and the shipping capacity of sea ships in this era is limited, and it is impossible to transport relatively low-value commodities, such as grain, without restrictions. If Youzhou has local production, it will certainly be better than from
Qingzhou transportation saves a lot.
In addition, there is the construction of infrastructure such as road construction and canal construction.
Youzhou has been regarded as a bitterly cold place since ancient times. On the one hand, it is because the winter here is long and cold, and on the other hand, the safety here is too poor and too dangerous. But if these factors can be eliminated, the land of Youzhou and
The water conservancy conditions are quite good, especially in the Piaoyujin area.
Judging from the map, Wang Yu felt that the ferry should belong to the Tianjin area in later generations, but now it is a good place with a network of water networks, no less good than the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
If one or two canals are dug at the right location, this port can connect almost all of Youzhou, which will not only facilitate transportation, but also play a great role in irrigating the land.
The prerequisite for completing these ideas is naturally enough manpower and money.
Money and food are easy to come by, but people will be troublesome if you squeeze in. Although Wang Yu's prestige is high and his propaganda within the community is very powerful, Chinese people have a deep-rooted rejection of places outside their hometown.
Just like the Sanhan and Japanese colonies that were opened up after the fleet sailed eastward, they were obviously great opportunities, but ordinary people didn't have much enthusiasm for them. Only the most daring businessmen were willing to go.
Up to now, the silver mined from the Japanese country has begun to be transported to the Central Plains, but it has not aroused the envy of many people. Wang Yu ordered the intelligence system to inquire about it, and the feedback he received made him dumbfounded. People felt that the current life
It's already pretty good. There's no need to take risks and leave your hometown to earn extra money.
No wonder some people in later generations said that those who were most likely to succeed in the Age of Discovery were not the princes, nobles, scholars and scientists, but the unemployed, bankrupts, gangsters, criminals, etc. The only thing they were good at was courage.
For many people in the Central Plains, Youzhou is not much better than the Three Hans. Without a large number of refugees, Wang Yu believes that he cannot replicate the miracle of Qingzhou in Youzhou.
He can't force people to immigrate to Youzhou, right?
He could only count on Zhao Yun. In the bag of tips Mu Wang brought to Zhao Yun, Wang Yu issued an order for Zhao Yun to ignore the main force of Xianbei and just try to recapture the Han people.
It's just that although Zhao Yun is extremely brave and has five thousand elite cavalry under his command, Wang Yu is not sure whether he can accomplish this task. The grassland is too big and there is no satellite observation. Zhao Yun's final results are probably only
Success depends on luck. And even if Zhao Yun takes back everyone, he still won't be able to meet future needs.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang must be blamed for this matter. His plan was not mature enough. He originally planned to wait for Youzhou to fully recover its vitality in a few years before implementing it, but he instigated a group of people to persuade him to go ahead and persuade him.
That makes sense. This is actually easier said than done.
After looking at the map in his hand again and again, Wang Yu could only sigh and push the map aside. These days, only fighting is the easiest. Things before and after the war are very annoying.
"My lord, my lord, good news, good news!" He said to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived, before Wang Yu could finish sighing, Zhuge Liang ran all the way and rushed in shouting.
"Wen He replied? So soon?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
In addition to the issue of rebuilding Youzhou, whether the war on the grassland can be put on the agenda depends to a large extent on the situation in the Central Plains.
Although Wang Yu did not think that Cao Cao would suddenly abandon the Guanzhong strategy and turn around to attack Yanzhou, it was impossible for Sun Ce to end the war with Jingzhou and go north to provoke. However, before continuing to invest resources in Youzhou, he still had to determine the relationship between these two major competitors.
It depends on the trends. At least you need to know how much time you have available to develop Youzhou yourself.
After the expedition, Wang Yu focused all his attention on the war and paid less attention to the Central Plains. This assessment can only be based on the first-hand intelligence and analysis collected by Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Lu Su, and finally compiled by Jia Xu.
It can be used only after passing.
It has only been ten days since the good news was sent out. If Jia Xu replied now, it would be too perfunctory. Although Fatty Jia is lazy, he is a very capable person. Wang Yu doesn't think that he
Would be so hasty.
"It's not the military advisor. The military advisor's letter has also arrived, but it's not a reply... The good news Liang said is from General Zilong!" Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm and calm, seemed to be a little over-excited and rarely spoke incoherently. Wang Yu was very puzzled by this.
.
"We finally have news from Zilong!" Wang Yu stood up immediately. God knows how much he misses the phone these days. Ever since Xianbei entered the pass and the war situation suddenly changed, Zhao Yun seemed to have disappeared. If he hadn't decided to attack the bomb
Han Shan took the risk and sent a messenger back before, and Wang Yu even suspected that something unexpected had happened to him.
The famous generals of this era were very cautious about dividing their troops. Once they were separated, it would be extremely difficult to get information about the other party, let alone command. Without a certain amount of courage and strategizing ability, dividing their troops would be like giving away food.
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang was also very excited. There was another clang of armor outside the tent. Apparently all the generals heard the news and rushed over.
Wang Yu took a deep breath and made a gesture to indicate that Zhuge Liang and others would wait until they were all present, so as not to waste a lot of words, he finally felt at peace.
"See my lord!" Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, and Lu Qiling arrived one after another.
"No need to be too polite." Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "Kong Ming, please tell everyone what Zilong said in his letter."
"Yes." Zhuge Liang bowed in response, cleared his throat, and briefly repeated Zhao Yun's letter. The content of the letter mainly contained a series of heroic achievements before Mu Wang arrived. Of course, he was not idle afterwards.
"In addition, after getting the master's secret bag, General Zilong stayed in the country and asked his husband to stay behind, and suppressed the prisoners with the Han people. Then he divided his troops into two groups and swept a circle north of Baishan Mountain. As of the moment when he wrote a letter reporting victory and requesting orders,
A total of nearly 100,000 Han people have been recaptured, which has exceeded 60% of the total number of Han people taken captive!"
"As expected of Zilong, well done!" All the generals cheered in unison.
It seems that the ratio of 60% is not high, but only when you consider the actual situation, you can understand the difficulty. Many of the captured Han people died on the road. In addition, although the decision to capture the people was made by the leader, the person who carried out the action was
Mainly those small tribes that no one can control.
Before the great defeat, fortunately, those tribes still had basic order, and when they left the customs, they took the roads designated by the leader. After the news of the great defeat spread, these small tribes ran wherever they wanted. Baishan
It stretches thousands of miles and has countless passable places, so it is impossible to stop them all.
Zhao Yun's current performance is almost perfect, and no one present would dare to hope to do better than him.
"This makes me feel more at ease. He also captured nearly 100,000 Xianbei old and weak people...well, just to use them to dig canals and pave roads." Wang Yu touched his chin and asked thoughtfully: "What did Wen He say in his letter?
"
"The military advisor's letter said..." Zhuge Liang suppressed his joy and replied in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu has made some changes!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
