Chapter 805: The Movement of Hebei
Liu Bei's surrender was just a small episode, which was inevitable in the eyes of the people of the world, and did not cause any waves. The only impact is that Da Zhao of Yuan Shao in Hebei Province has become more and more active after getting the news.
Recruitment, training.
The whole Hebei is in full swing, under the promise of Yuan Shao, countless greedy families have come to help, and the whole Hebei has shown a sign of unity and prosperity in a short period of time. Yuan Shao also took this opportunity to start his final madness, recruiting and training troops everywhere at any cost. In Hebei, all young and strong men over the age of 14 were forcibly recruited as soldiers.
When he got the news, Yuan Shuqi almost didn't directly wave his army north to fight the Yellow River. Fourteen-year-olds are all pulled into battle, and there is no humanity left? Do you really think that it is still the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yuan Benchu is at the end of his rope now, and it is normal to kill chickens and take eggs like this." Jia Xu admonished.
This thing is normal in Jia Xu's opinion, thinking that he could be a soldier in Xiliang back then, and he could give food to eat, which was an opportunity that no matter how many people begged and couldn't come back. Eleven or twelve-year-old children abound in the army, and it is not unusual for the whole family to go into battle en masse.
"Yuan Benchu was really mad, these newcomers were all pulled into the battlefield, and they were as reckless as Cao Mengde." Guo Jia sighed.
They naturally knew the reason why Yuan Benchu was so fearless.
Yuan Shu's heart is too soft!
He has not experienced many difficulties, and has always firmly occupied the general trend, resulting in Yuan Shu's style of acting too benevolent. Along the way, there are not many innocent souls under the butcher's knife, and they are basically damned people. Even the descendants of many families and Han families can die well, which is really rare among the emperors of the past dynasties.
However, fortunately, Yuan Shu's own ability is also shocking, and he stubbornly relied on his open-minded internal affairs ability to push the world, so that everyone had to bow their heads, which extinguished the dissuasion of Guo Jia and others.
After all, a generous and benevolent lord is also the luck of a courtier. The reason why many courtiers choose the black-hearted and ruthless heroes in the troubled times is because only the thick-hearted and black-hearted heroes can succeed in the troubled times. People are not ruthless and unstable, slaughtering 9 million square meters for the male of the male, the prosperous monarch is benevolent, to calm the troubled times must be ruthless people.
However, the existence of Yuan Shu vividly broke this common sense, and directly pulled the battle to the national strength competition, and almost dragged it to the science and technology tree. Relying on the unreasonable development of national strength, and crushing the world while developing, it is simply helpless.
Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Liu Bei, what they have done is actually very excessive. But they just relied on Yuan Shu's "soft-heartedness", so unscrupulous.
These new child soldiers can't go to the battlefield at all, and their role Guo Jia can understand with a little guessing, nine out of ten of these soldiers are all temporarily captured and guarded by strong men, Yuan Shao is completely a scoundrel.
When the two countries are at war, it is impossible to send all their troops to the battlefield, and it is inevitable that they will have to stay with enough troops. The so-called all-out efforts of the whole country can send at most sixty or seventy percent of the country's troops to the battlefield is the limit. And Yuan Shao's current recruitment of these recruits who cannot go to the battlefield is playing with Yuan Shu.
These recruits don't have much combat power, but it's still okay to guard the city with some veterans, and Yuan Shao estimates that with Yuan Shu's character, he won't do this kind of thing to storm the city. Therefore, it is enough to send these recruits to put on a show and bluff, so that more combatable soldiers can be sent to the battlefield for a head-on decisive battle. If Yuan Shao was originally able to pull six or seven percent of the soldiers and horses on the battlefield, after playing this trick, the number of troops that could be sent to the battlefield was enough to increase by two percent.
"Yuan Benchu is a stinky and shameless person, playing this kind of trick with Lao Tzu!" After being reminded by Guo Jia, Yuan Shu, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but burst into foul language.
A few people just watched Yuan Shu go crazy quietly, without the slightest intention of dissuasion. Especially Guo Jia, there was even a slight narrowness in his eyes, as if he was watching a joke, quietly waiting for Yuan Shu's final decision.
After scolding Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, who slowly calmed down, found that everyone was quietly looking at him, the scene was embarrassing for a while, and everyone looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.
"Yuan Hao!"
"The minister is here." Tian Feng arched his hand.
"I ordered all localities to send troops to Qingzhou as soon as possible, and they must arrive within two months, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law. Within three months, I will see this bastard Yuan Benchu in Jinling! Yuan Shu said angrily.
"In addition, pull Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande to work in the farms outside the city, give me a good watch every day, work for two months first, outsiders are not allowed to contact, and if you don't do a good job, you won't be given food! Let them also experience the hardships of the grassroots people, one by one, they really don't take human life seriously! ”
Yuan Shu was angry in his heart, but he didn't want to send it to others, so he had to vent it on Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two unlucky guys. If it weren't for the fact that these lords couldn't control it, how could there be so many moths? Anyway, no matter what the root cause is, they will definitely not be able to get around.
"Your Majesty, they are all princes of one side, is it appropriate to do this?" Tian Feng asked after hesitating for a moment.
"What's out of place? As a defeated general, you have to be honest with me, and if you don't give them some labor reform, ideological education, or anything, it will be a disaster to let them out. Wait for Yuan Benchu's house to fall into my hands, and see how I clean him up. Yuan Shu snorted coldly.
Yuan Shu was never distressed when it came to the necessary soldiers' injuries, and the horse leather shroud was the best destination for the soldiers. But pulling this group of twelve or thirteen-year-old children into the battlefield is something that Yuan Shu can't tolerate. This kind of killing chickens and eggs is not only very immoral, but also very wasteful. This is a very shameful thing in the eyes of Yuan Shu, who is a "profiteer". How many resources does it take to raise a child to that age? Soon to be an adult, to be able to provide productivity, only to be meaningless and die before returning to the original at this time, what a waste of what a big waste.
Population is productivity, and there are not many condemned prisoners every year in Dachu. Except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes and deserve a thousand cuts, they cannot be pardoned, and ordinary prisoners are sentenced to life and carry out labor reform in peace and security in the mines and construction sites, so as to contribute to the country, so as to strive for early release with good performance. And the foreign races that plundered abroad are also constantly squeezing their value, anyway, their lives are not worth mentioning compared to the Han people, and they are obedient one by one, and some hard and dangerous work is naturally taken over by them.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei couldn't figure out the account, but Yuan Shu was clear in his heart. He is also happy to "teach by example", so that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can deeply understand how to fully squeeze the value of the people and maximize their use through personal experience.
"I don't want to retaliate, I do this for the sake of the future of my Han people, for their own sake. The purpose of this painstaking effort is to let them have an in-depth understanding of the way of strengthening the country of our Great Chu, so as to facilitate their development in the future. Presumably, Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde will be able to appreciate my good intentions. Yuan Shu said.
Everyone below was speechless when they heard these words, looking at the sinister smile on the corner of Yuan Shu's mouth and the excited and happy eyes in his eyes, they secretly mourned for Liu Bei and Cao Cao for three seconds.
Yuan Shu didn't play cards according to common sense at all, so I'm afraid that Cao Cao would leave a deep impression.
