Chapter 913: Brilliant Hanwei (37)

There is no money, there is always someone. The words that came out of Helanxiong's mouth flutteringly, for ordinary people, represent the destruction of their families, their hometowns, and countless blood and corpses. But none of the people present have any different meanings, population, is the cornerstone of a country, Zhengdong Prefecture now controls a vast area, but the most headache for the top is that most of the areas, such as Jishi County on the prairie, Dayan County, Hetao County and the newly conquered Donghu area, are all vast and sparsely populated, among these counties, except for Jishi County, which is now the political and economic center of Zhengdong Province, the situation is relatively good, other places, are extremely lacking in population.

Plundering the enemy's people, although violent, is the most simple and direct method, while increasing one's own strength, it is also indirectly depriving the enemy of his potential, and the impact is extremely far-reaching.

What's more, in the eyes of the generals of Zhengdong Mansion in this big tent, if these Qin people are taken captive, in a short period of time, they may hate the Zhengdong Army, but as time goes by, I am afraid that they will be grateful inexplicably, although the Qin State is strong, but it is strong in the country, the life of the common people is really not very good, heavy taxes, strict laws, so that ordinary people can't stand upright, want to get ahead, the only way out is to join the army, use knives and guns to fight on the battlefield to fight for a chance to get ahead, but this also represents the risk of exhaustion, A general who has succeeded in ten thousand bones is withered, and a general who has successfully fought from the bottom is ten times the blood and corpses of his colleagues at his feet. The court of the Qin State magnified the deeds of these successful people, but consciously ignored those stepping stones.

Don't you see, in Shannan County, those Qin people who were terrified all the time at the beginning no longer recognize themselves as Qin people, but only call themselves people from Shannan County, are they the people under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion?

Three days later, Gongsun Yi's independent cavalry division arrived, and the more than 15,000 cavalry immediately divided into several teams, attacked everywhere, and went deep into the countryside, their only task was to plunder, plunder wealth, and plunder people, and then tie a rope back to the barracks. In just a few days, in the camp of the Eastern Army, nearly 30,000 Qin people were robbed.

Zhao Yong's Daijun soldiers became a transport team to escort these Qin people, there are no conditions to say, these Qin people were driven to the depths of the grassland by the Daijun soldiers, they will be sent to the Liaodong Peninsula for resettlement, the Liaodong Peninsula has been under the rule of Donghu for many years, the ethnic composition is complex, where the Han people had a low status before, almost most of them were slaves, this situation is naturally not conducive to the rule of Zhengdongfu, but almost all the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion are short of people, although Gao Yuan ordered each county to immigrate there according to a certain proportion, However, this order was quietly resisted by his subordinates, making this order almost in name only, and forcing Gao Yuan to secretly order Helan Xiong to plunder the population to enrich the Liaodong Peninsula.

Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Eastern Army are wreaking havoc in Jiuyuan County, although Wang Jian in the city of Jiuyuan County has bitten his steel teeth, but there is nothing he can do, with the strength he has at hand now, not to mention the decisive battle between the city and the Eastern Army, it is to defend the city, and it is also uncaught, I don't know why the Eastern Army does not attack the city, but Wang Jian naturally will not go out of the city to die, standing at the head of the city every day, watching more and more people of the Qin State being driven into the military camp of the Eastern Army like sheep, and then setting off towards a farther place, except for cursing, there is almost nothing to do.

The fiasco of Jiuyuan County and the plundering of the Eastern Army in Jiuyuan County finally alerted Qin Ting, and Qin Ting began to step up the mobilization of reinforcements, and several counties around Jiuyuan County gathered troops to approach Jiuyuan County. After detecting this information, the Eastern Army also stopped the plundering operation and began to prepare for war.

At this time, the Eastern Army had concentrated nearly 100,000 people in the direction of Jiuyuan County, Feng Fayong had 20,000 Shannan soldiers, Zhao Yong's Daijun soldiers had 30,000, Helan Xiong's more than 30,000 troops, and the independent cavalry division of Gongsun Yi of the Northern Group Army had more than 15,000 cavalry.

The Qin court was completely unprepared for this, Lu Chao's sudden advance in Fengcheng, invaded the border of Yan State, and ambushed and annihilated more than 5,000 people in the Naha Department of the Eastern Army, which was ordered by King Wulie of Qin to test whether the Eastern Army still had the strength of a war, and not many people in the entire court knew about it, and even the emperor Li Ru was kept in the dark, the consequences of this risky and radical strategy were greatly unexpected by King Wulie of Qin, Gao Yuan's reaction was so strong, and the response was tough, which suddenly put Qin in a predicament.

Li Xin gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Hangu Pass, but on the opposite side of him was most of the Zhao army led by Zhao Guo Jing Rufeng, Meng Tian was also a large army on the border of Qin and Chu, although the Chu people have not hummed, but where is the war potential of this country, if it is fully mobilized, it is not impossible for this country to pull out an army of millions of people, Meng Tian naturally did not dare to move slightly, Lu Chao's army on this road Qin army is not much, only tens of thousands, but these tens of thousands of people are also extremely elite troops of the Qin army, supplemented by troops recruited from Handi, Involved by the Wei and Zhao coalition forces, and now also facing the attack of the Eastern Army, for a while, the Qin State did not have a strong force that could be dispatched, in the face of this situation, the Qin people issued an emergency mobilization order, conscripted soldiers, and began to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.

Unconsciously, Zhengdongfu, Zhao, and Wei formed an alliance against the Qin army, and when these three countries concentrated all their forces to fight against the Qin people, the Qin people immediately felt struggling. If the Chu people see the flaws and come to intervene, it is not a question of whether the Qin people can unify the Central Plains, but whether they will destroy the country and extinct the species.

There was a quarrel in the court, and finally an opinion occupied the mainstream, negotiated peace with the Zhengdong Army, recalled Lu Chao, and punished him for his unauthorized provocation, in exchange for reconciliation with the Zhengdong Army, just looking at the restrained military action of the Zhengdong Army in Jiuyuan County, it can be seen that the Zhengdong Army did not want to fight with the Qin Army at this time, and a big war broke out to cheapen Wei Zhao.

But this is only one of the possibilities, in the eyes of the Qin court, Gao Yuan is young, good face, and Gao Yuan, who was invincible in the past, suffered a big loss this time, and the young and vigorous will inevitably be eager to retaliate, if it cannot be handled properly, it is very likely to cause a big war between the two sides, otherwise Zhengdongfu will not put out an army of 100,000 in the direction of Jiuyuan County.

As for how much it will cost to calm down this storm this time, it will be up to the two sides to bargain at the negotiating table. The final result of the discussion was that the country should actively prepare for war in order to cope with unforeseen needs, and at the same time, a negotiation team headed by Fan Sui, the first assistant, was formed to go to Fengcheng to negotiate with Gao Yuan, so as to end this sudden turmoil.

Fengcheng, Lu Chao stood at the head of the city, looking at the banner of the Eastern Army in the distance, the one that fluttered at the highest place, showing off its might in the wind, the high-character banner was particularly dazzling.

Gao Yuan's relatives marched, and with him came the other three divisions of the Young Guards of his descendants, although the strength of the army was less than 20,000, but the combat effectiveness of 20,000 people was far from being comparable to his current command. And the change in the battle situation from the direction of Jiuyuan County, Lu Chao has realized that this big gamble of King Qin Wulie has completely failed.

But it is impossible for the king to stand up and take responsibility, this black cauldron must be carried by himself. Lu Chao didn't have much dissatisfaction, he strongly supported this plan, in addition to King Qin Wulie's original dream, Lu Chao's own selfishness also played a lot of roles in it, which could make Gao Yuan unhappy and make him uncomfortable, and Lu Chao was very energetic.

The news from Xianyang has confirmed his conjecture, and Lu Chao feels extremely sorry for the fact that he is about to leave the front line, so as to lack a head-to-head confrontation with Gao Yuan.

"I'll be back!" He suddenly stretched out his arm, pointed to the tall banner fluttering in the distance, and said sharply.

Gongsun Ying beside Lu Chao looked extremely nervous, of course he knew that the Qin Dynasty had already tried to punish Lu Chao, and the crime was Lu Chao's unauthorized provocation, Gongsun was a Korean nobleman who was protected by Lu Chao, if Lu Chao was unlucky, how good could Gongsun be to go? In the eyes of others, the Gongsun clan is a big piece of fat meat, and there was Lu Chao covering it before, so naturally no one would dare to beat their idea, but now that Lu Chao is down, I am afraid that if the tree falls and scatters, the Gongsun clan will also be unlucky.

"General, is there no room for this matter to be turned around? We can take out a large sum of money to bribe the civil and military officials in Xianyang, don't care, as long as the general can stay here!" Gongsun Ying whispered.

Lu Chao glanced at Gongsun Ying, with a faint mockery in his eyes, where is this matter a problem that money can solve, if money can solve the problem, how can it be called a problem in his own place?

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Chao asked. I'm afraid that if I fall, someone will be unfavorable to your Gongsun clan?"

Gongsun Ying hung his head and said nothing.

"Don't worry, I'm just in danger this time, even if I have something, the teacher won't look at my relatives unlucky, don't think so much, do your things well with your heart, it's the best talisman, don't give people a handle." Lu Chaodao.

"The Great General is right."

"This time when I go back to Xianyang, I will take my mother and Yan'er away." Lu Chao said: "The house I bought in Xianyang has been empty for several years, and it's time to welcome back their master."

Gou Yi trotted all the way to Lu Chao's side from below, and said in a low voice: "General, Fan Shoufu and they have already arrived outside Fengcheng."

Lu Chao nodded: "Let's go, let's go meet Lord Shoufu!"

"However, there are also people from the Black Ice Platform accompanying him, and the person leading the team is Tan Feng." There was an angry look in Gouyi's eyes.

"Tan Feng! He leads the team?" Lu Chao's eyes showed a look of surprise for the first time, and then he laughed, "It turns out that he was the one who escorted me back to Xianyang this time, this is really interesting. Interesting!" R1152
