Chapter 190: Training cavalry, looking at the river loop

After dealing with the affairs of the Hu tribe, Qin Hao waved his hand to dismiss the leaders, and then shouted lightly to the generals in the hall: "Where is Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The last general!" The three of them responded together.

"The matter of recruiting troops from among the Hu people and training them will be left to the three of you!" Qin Hao said solemnly.

The current Yanmen Army only has five battalions of 15,000 Han cavalry, and this time Qin Hao recruited 10,000 cavalry from the Hu people at one time, which can definitely be called a big deal, so he can't be careless.

Although nomads grew up on horseback and were born knights, they still needed to be trained to fight as cavalry.

When Yue Fei and the others heard this, their eyes were full of excitement and excitement, since they were allowed to train, it was possible for them to lead this cavalry in the future.

That's a whole 10,000 cavalry, even if it's a Hu cavalry, it's rare and valuable, it's really exciting to think about.

"No!" The three of them hurriedly said.

Qin Hao saw that the three generals were all full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't help but nodded, only with such strength can a good cavalry be trained!

Qin Hao also knew that the military salary and welfare of the Yanmen Army, although it could attract a large number of Hu people, it could not guarantee their absolute loyalty, and Qin Hao had four ways to ensure the loyalty of the Hu people.

1. High treatment to win people's hearts;

2. Control their family members and make them have scruples;

3. Disrupt the Hu group and prevent it from grouping;

4. Bombing and brainwashing them during the training process, and imprinting in their hearts the idea of loyalty to the Yanmen Army.

Among these four points, the fourth item is the most important, and if you let the charismatic generals train, the brainwashing effect will be better, so Qin Hao asked Yue Fei, Qin Qiong, and Zhao Yun to train the three people with the highest charisma.

With these three charismatic generals, coupled with so many means of his own, Qin Hao can't accept just 10,000 Hu Qi if he doesn't believe it.

"Gao Shun." Qin Hao continued.

"The end will be."

"Ordered you to be responsible for escorting all slaves to Yanmen Pass."

"No!"

"Ben will be about to return to Guangwu for a trip, and Ben will not be in the period. The affairs of the three counties are mainly led by Mr. Wang Meng, and Fan Zhongyan is the deputy, and you will help you to stabilize the three counties! ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts were suddenly full of doubts, the three counties had just been recovered, and it was the most chaotic time, the young lord could stabilize people's hearts by sitting in the three counties, but the young lord wanted to leave at this time, what was the matter that the stability of the three counties was still important?

"Young master, my Yanmen Army has newly acquired the land of the three counties, and it is the time when all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, young master, you should not leave!" Fan Zhongyan stood up and persuaded.

And after Fan Zhongyan started, others also persuaded Qin Hao to stay, but Wang Meng's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

"Congratulations on your ascension!"

Wang Meng saluted Qin Hao with a smile on his face, and Qin Hao also laughed when he saw this, it was still Wang Meng who was powerful, and he could see the key at a glance.

"I really can't hide anything, sir. That's right, the imperial envoy came, and my father urged me to go back to Guangwu to accept the reward, and of course, there was the issue of immigration in the three counties. ”

The generals were also overjoyed when they heard this, the young master had made such a huge contribution this time, the imperial court would definitely give a big reward, and the higher Qin Hao's status, their status would naturally rise.

But what about immigration?

I heard that the Yellow Turbans have gathered a million troops in Yanzhou, can the imperial court still take care of the three counties?

Qin Hao naturally knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, but he was not ready to explain, if there was something that his subordinates did not understand, he, the lord, would have to explain, then he would not be exhausted.

"In the three counties of central and northern China, the total number of Han people is only 100,000, and the total population of the Hu people is not as good as that of my Yanmen county. With such a shallow background, it is difficult to protect oneself, and how can it be used as a springboard to recover the land of the Hetao. ”

After listening to what Qin Hao said, the generals were stunned at first, and then stunned.

It's not enough for the young master to recover the three counties in the north and the middle, and he still wants to recover the land of the Hetao, this, this is crazy!

The land of the three counties in the north and central has been developed for more than 100 years, and at least there is a city that can be defended.

But in the Hetao to the north, although the land is fertile, it is a flat river, and it is impossible to capture it without enough cavalry, and even if it is captured, how to defend it?

The land of the Hetao, the west, north and east are surrounded by the Yellow River, Yinshan is across the north of the Yellow River, Helan Mountain towers in the west of the Yellow River, Luyashan barrier is in the east of the Yellow River, and the south is adjacent to the Northern Shaanxi Plateau, and the river is blocked by the mountains, and the situation is dangerous.

The Yellow River in the Hetao, the water flow is stable, the land on both sides is fertile, can be cultivated and pastured, the history has the saying that "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of wealth", and it is also known as "plugging the south of the Yangtze River".

After Qin unified the Central Plains, the First Emperor sent Meng Tian to lead an army of 100,000 to expel the Xiongnu from the Hetao, and moved 30,000 households there to garrison the border, and set up two counties of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing out of the clouds to defeat the Xiongnu and occupy the Hetao, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successively placed Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Xihe County in the Hetao.

In addition, the Hetao also includes Dingxiang County, Beidi, and the northern part of Shangjun, so don't look at the Hetao as just a region, but the actual area is not inferior to a state.

The three counties in the north and central also belong to the Hetao, but they are only marginal areas, starting from the three counties, in the north is the real essence of the Hetao, but this part of the essence is still in the hands of the Xiongnu.

The Hetao Plain is what Qin Hao dreamed of and must get, that land is too fertile, it is the foundation of hegemony, and it must be in his hands.

It is no exaggeration to say that by sowing seeds in the land of the Hetao, food can grow without care.

If the Hetao area is well developed, this alone can feed tens of millions of people, and if it is paired with the first generation of hybrid rice of the "artifact", a Hetao can feed half of the big man.

Although Qin Hao obtained the rice seeds of the first generation of hybrid rice, it was not suitable for planting rice in the prefecture, and if the land of Guanxi wanted to give full play to this big weapon, there were only two places, Hetao and Guanzhong.

Therefore, Qin Hao must take the Hetao from the Xiongnu, of course, before recapturing the Hetao, Qin Hao must develop the three counties in the north and central China.

Without a wealthy three counties in the north and central as a foundation, Qin Hao could not afford to raise enough cavalry to compete with Temujin for the Hetao, so the strategy of the criminals to defend the border was imminent.

"Young master, if you want to take the Hetao, you must have a large number of cavalry, and our army doesn't seem to have this strength at present?" Fan Zhongyan persuaded tactfully.

"Ben didn't say to fight now!"

Qin Hao rolled his eyes, could he not know such a simple truth.

When the generals heard that the young master was not going to fight now, they were suddenly relieved, they were really afraid that the young master's head would be hot under the big victory, thinking that the Huns were not strong enough, and directly led the army to recover the Hetao, which was really going to the door to send people to the head!
