Chapter 300: The Remnants of the Yellow Turban

Zhao Hao wants to exterminate those so-called yellow turban thieves, but in fact, it is not groundless and meaningless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because according to the development of the plot of the Three Kingdoms, there are as many as two or three hundred thousand Yellow Turban remnants in Yanzhou.

In the end, in fact, during the period when the princes of the Eighteenth Route failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, the entire alliance team fell apart, and the princes from all over the country were busy grabbing territory and strengthening themselves, Cao Cao personally led the troops to suppress it.

After exterminating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao's military strength was also unprecedentedly strengthened, and he obtained more than 100,000 or 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers out of thin air, which solved the problem of his troops at once.

Why do you fight a battle and suppress a thief, and your troops can fight more and more?

In fact, the first thing to be clear about is the source of the yellow turban thief.

The so-called yellow scarves, they were originally just a group of people from all over the Han Dynasty.

It was only because of the hard days, natural disasters and man-made disasters, that there was nothing to eat at home, and there was no way to live, so under the instigation and call of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao and others, an uprising was carried out.

At its peak, the Yellow Turbans, known as millions of troops, rose from all over the country, causing the entire Han Empire, which was originally as stable as Mount Tai, to suddenly fall into shaking.

The princes of the world, the gentry, dignitaries, scholars, and landlords from all over the world have gathered coalition forces to encircle and suppress together.

It can be said that, in essence, the Yellow Turban Army is actually a group of poor ordinary people who formed a coalition army and held an uprising in order to eat and live a better life.

Such a peasant army does not have a correct leadership program, does not have strict organizational discipline, does not have a core value orientation, and at the same time does not have systematic training.

Although it seems to be so powerful, the earth shakes the mountains, as if stirring the sun and the moon, and shaking the entire Han family, but in fact, they can't escape a failed fate after all.

Now Zhao Hao wants to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and he is in Yanzhou.

Yanzhou, on the other hand, probably includes the western part of Ludong Province, the northeastern part of Henan Province, and the southeastern part of Hebei Province in the real world.

Located between the ancient Yellow River and Jishui, the geographical location is very superior, choking the throat of the entire eastern part of China, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Zhao Hao said on the surface this time that he was going to exterminate the other party, but in fact, to change a more appropriate word, it would be better to say that he was going to co-opt.

What Cao Cao can do in history, there is no reason why he Zhao Hao can't do it.

You must know that compared with that Cao Mengde, at this time, the conditions and advantages in someone's hands are much greater, whether it is from the strength of the army or the abundance of materials and land.

Today's Zhao Hao, although he has resigned from the position of general, is in exchange for a Zhenguo Duke with real power and a huge fiefdom.

The land in his hands can be described as vast!

Although Zhao Hao didn't know what means Cao Cao used to suppress the 200,000 Yellow Turban army in the original plot, the specific analysis is nothing more than three situations.

Either use profit to induce, or force with soldiers, or use both grace and power, while suppressing and luring surrender.

And the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army have now reached the end of their rope, and if they continue to hold on, there will be no good results.

Zhao Hao went this time, as long as he swept away one of the diehards, he could use the vast and fertile land covered by the Yellow River water network in exchange for their loyalty.

In this way, it can not only expand the strength of Zhao Hao's troops, but also weaken Cao Cao's future troops in disguise, and continue to develop and build his current territory based on the more than 200,000 Yellow Turban Army.

It's a triple win.

In comparison, what the Xiliang Ma family is doing now, as well as the next Yuan family, and even the Gongsun family, it seems that they have taken advantage of Zhao Hao.

led his own army and occupied a large territory, thus taking a strategic place where cattle and sheep could be grazed and war horses cultivated.

But in fact, livestock and training war horses are not so easy.

One of the most important points is that in addition to the vast site and abundant aquatic and grass resources, animal husbandry takes time.

Leaving aside the cattle, sheep and livestock, which are mainly used as field labor and food, the cultivation of war horses cannot be completed in a mere one or two years.

A group of qualified war horses, in addition to the countless efforts of the breeder, also need to be enough time to let it grow, horses are generally between three to fifteen years before they are considered to be adults.

That is to say, it takes at least three years for a war horse to grow from the adult stage to the fully developed body.

Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

On those princes who tried to occupy, or had already occupied a territory in the northern steppe region, it was just enough for them to cultivate a fresh crop of adult war horses.

In Zhao Hao's hands, these three years are enough for him to do a lot of things.

During this period, the princes need to devote a large part of their energy to the grassland land.

There are a large number of war horses, as well as civilian horses, which need to be re-grazed, released into the wild, and then responsible for producing the next generation.

Even the war horses in service will be greatly affected by this.

Therefore, Zhao Hao's gang is still very bad, when he was conquering the three alien races in northern Xinjiang, in addition to killing people to gain experience, it is also his great hobby to wantonly collect the spoils of war.

Among the large number of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock from other races, a small part of them were taken by Zhao Hao as face, and they were driven back to Chang'an as trophies to the little emperor.

Most of the other is collected into their own system space and becomes someone's private property.

Another branch was brought back to the Hetao, where the Xiongnu had originally lived, and the area closer to the Yellow River, where they were re-raised and grazed by foreign prisoners of war.

It can be said that in the entire northern grassland area today, except for some inconspicuous fish-type and small wild livestock communities, there is no longer any scene of thousands of horses galloping, thousands of cattle barking, and thousands of sheep bleating.

In that period of more than a year, Zhao Hao had taken all the things that could be taken away wherever he passed.

What could not be taken away, except for some alien town-like buildings that were left behind as his garrison, everything else had been destroyed on the spot.

At this time, the Xiliang Ma family, including the Yuan family and other forces that were about to act behind, were at best just enclosing a piece of land, and if they wanted to produce something, they needed to do it themselves.

In Zhao Hao's opinion, what these people are doing now is actually tantamount to raising all kinds of livestock and war horses for him.

When the time comes, he only needs to send a large army to destroy his people, occupy his land, and take his livestock, and then he can sit back and enjoy the results, so why not do it?

......

Another week has passed, and Zhao Hao has already led his redeployed army of 50,000 to embark on a new journey.

Since the 50,000 troops were all cavalry, the speed of the march was very fast, and they hurried out of the border of Chang'an all the way and came to the sphere of influence of Luoyang.

As the landlord of this place, Cao Cao was also very well-informed, and when he learned that Zhao Hao's army passed through this place, he immediately took dozens of personal soldiers and generals out of the city for thirty miles to greet him.

Look at other people's behavior, compared to when Zhao Hao returned triumphantly and returned to the imperial capital Chang'an, the treatment given to him by those courtiers was much higher!

Needless to say, since people came to greet him so ceremoniously, Zhao Hao naturally couldn't shirk it, so he asked the 50,000 troops behind him to travel another ten miles and set up camp.

He himself took Moyu, Ren Yingying, Alice, Cai Yan, Lu Lingqi and dozens of other relatives to Luoyang City, the real battlefield generals, only brought Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao five.

Gao Shun is still the actual commander of this army, responsible for the daily training of the 50,000 army, as well as stationing and other matters.

In the entire plot of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Shun's trapped camp is a notoriously strong army, with very strong combat effectiveness, and has made many contributions to Lu Bu, which is very valued by Zhao Hao.

Therefore, the training and co-ordination in the army, under normal circumstances, also rely on Gao Shun.

And in this expedition with the army, Huang Xiaoyu, a very rare girl, did not come out again, but chose to stay in Chang'an City and practice quietly in retreat.

According to the little girl herself, she must cultivate Zixia Divine Skill to the fullest extent in the shortest possible time, and before the others. Then open up the two bridges of heaven and earth, and comprehend that trace of innate opportunity.

If you don't break through, you won't get out!

Well, Huang Xiaoyu's momentum is still very gratifying, so much so that Liu Qianqian, the little girl, felt it and followed the retreat together, so Liu's mother also followed and guarded her.

In addition, Lu Bu did not come out with him, and it is estimated that he is tired of being with Diao Chan like glue, after more than a year of separation, at this time, it is the time when Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the relationship between the two is increasing day by day.

And Zhao Hao is also planning to wait for the Yellow Turban Army to be subdued this time, and then go back to ask for a kiss from Wang Situ for Lu Bu or something, and complete the important task of the general's henchman...... (To be continued.) )
