Chapter Seventy-Seven: Kindness Must Be Repaid
It is not an exaggeration to say that Yan Shao is the biggest winner of the Battle of Qicheng, not only because he completely overwhelmed Jiao He, who was inseparable from Chengtian Wuzhu, in terms of prestige and influence, but also because of other factors.

For example, the war horses of the Wuhuan people...
Yan Shao didn't really intend to exterminate the Wuhuan people, and when the situation was favorable, he even considered whether to subdue some of the Wuhuan cavalry and let it be used for his own use.
After all, in history, even Cao Cao himself once accepted many Wuhuan people, which greatly increased Cao Cao's strength.
But the identity of the Wuhuan people is too sensitive, not to mention that Qingzhou is not as good as Youzhou. The situation in Youzhou is chaotic, and many Hu people have invaded and captured in the south, and the conditions are relatively comfortable, but Qingzhou is different. If Yan Shao had taken in a lot of Wuhuan cavalry, he would have been suspected of rebelling.
But what really made him kill was what happened to the people who were snatched away by the Wuhuan people.
The cruelty of the nomads has long been written in history, five indiscriminate China, the slaughter of the city by the Qing army, and the list of similar things is too numerous ...
And the famous two-legged sheep...
(The two-legged sheep does not refer to sheep, but is a person who was eaten as food in a bloody scene, and is recorded in many places in ancient times.) Especially in the war-torn ancient times, the people were struggling to make a living, and it was difficult to make a plan, so people had to cook and eat people. In the volume of Song Zhuangxuan's "Chicken Rib Weaving": "The old thin man is called 'Rao Grip Fire', the woman is young and young, and the name is 'not envious sheep', and the child is called 'and the bones are rotten', and the eyes are 'two-legged sheep'." βοΌ
At this time, the majesty of the Han Dynasty had not been completely shaken, and the Wuhuan people would not dare to do such a thing. Even so, the captives were humiliated in every way.
Looking at what happened to those people, not to mention Yan Shao, Tai Shici, Guan Hai and others were also angry, so it was naturally impossible to bypass those Wuhuan people.
In the end, he used the heads of the thousands of Wuhuan people to build a big Beijing Temple on the border of Qingdao and Hebei to warn the Wuhuan people.
Although the Wuhuan people were all killed, the property they brought belonged to Yan Shao. Naturally, Yan Shao did not forget to give a part to the generals of several other countiesββββββ after all, since ancient times, many disasters have originated from the uneven distribution of spoils, even if Yan Shao does not look down on those people in his heart, at least he will not verbally bully the other party.
However, on the issue of war horses, Yan Shao was somewhat reluctant to give an inch...
This time, Wuhuan went south with 8,000 people, of which 5,000 were cavalry, which means that there were at least 5,000 war horses among them.
Although many horses were broken when the traps were laid before, and many of them were accidentally killed when the Wuhuan people were annihilated later, there were still as many as 2,000 horses intact in the end, which was definitely a great fortune for anyone.
Even if it had to be distributed to other counties in the end, Yan Shao intercepted more than 1,300 horses in the end, which was enough for Yan Shao to set up an elite cavalry army.
It should be said that everyone is satisfied with such a distribution of spoils, one is that Yan Shao contributed the most this time, which no one can deny. Moreover, the rest of the spoils are enough to satisfy the generals who lead the army and the people behind themββββββ maybe for an army, a hundred and ten war horses are nothing, but if it is for officials who have no ambitions...
Tens of thousands of stone of food is enough to satisfy anyone...
After all, not everyone is like Yan Shao, preparing for the troubled times in the future...
"More than 1,300 war horses, enough to expand Ziyi's Dare to Pioneer Army to 1,000 people, so I really have a usable cavalry army in my hands..."
Five hundred horsemen may be enough for a county guard, but it is too little for a prince. Even if he is as down-and-out as Lu Bu, there is a trap camp of nearly 1,000 people under his command, and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders are even more thousands.
In addition, there are also Yuan Shao's halberd warriors, and Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants, all of whom are also powerful. For the army all the time, the elite is important, but the number of people is just as important.
In addition to these, Yan Shao is actually also thinking about other issues.
"Do you want to transfer Ziyi out of the Dare First Army..."It's not that he doesn't trust Tai Shici, but among the five generals under his command, only Tai Shici has the talent of a general.
Now the Beihai army is not more than 10,000, so it is nothing, but when the number is a little larger, it will inevitably feel overstretched.
This is actually a bit inappropriate that Yan Shao considered at the beginning, just thinking that Tai Shici would lead the Dare First Army, and he would definitely be able to train the Dare First Army into a strong army in the world that was not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry. But I didn't expect that there would be more troops and horses under his command in the future, who should be in command, and Guan Hai and Zhou Cang couldn't be allowed to command the army, right?
In that case, it's okay to exterminate the Yellow Turban, but if you encounter someone with a little resourcefulness, I'm afraid that you will be 'burned to the new field'.
If you really want them to lead the army, I'm afraid that Yan Shao won't even be able to eat.
Although Sun Guan has talents, he is only compared with Guan Hai, and he is still worse in essence, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility.
In this battle of Qicheng, Tai Shici was the one who really deserved to be brilliant, but because he didn't dare to have any chance to appear in the first army, he only ended up cleaning the battlefieldββββββ at that time, the Wuhuan people were all surrounded by a horse cave, how could Yan Shao dare to let the first army go, thinking that he had too many war horses?
Just let Tai Shi Ci leave, then only Sun Guan can lead the Dare to First Army, and he also needs to take into account Tai Shi Ci's thoughts. "Trouble..."
Just when Yan Shao had a headache, someone outside the tent suddenly came to report. "My lord, a messenger from Jizhou has come to ask for a meeting..."
"Oh? The messenger of Jizhou? "It's a little strange how Jizhou could send someone, but Yan Shao was still more sympathetic about the matter that Jia Cong sent before, thought about it for a while, and said." Please come in. β
"Yes!" The soldiers outside the tent hugged their fists.
After a short time, he saw his own soldiers walking in with a weak official.
As soon as he entered the tent, the official had already bowed down. "Zheng Jing greets the envoy!"
"Sir, get up..."Yan Shao helped him slightly. I don't know if Mr. is from Jizhou, what is the important matter? β
"Don't dare to hide it...", then Zheng Jing hurriedly arrived. This time I came to Qingzhou, one is to celebrate the great destruction of Wuhuan, and the other is to ask for help! β
"Asking for help?"
"Not bad!" Zheng Jing smiled helplessly. "Now Jizhou is in turmoil, although my Jizhou is a big state, it is a pity that even the war, first the yellow scarf, then the Wuhuan, although my lord has the intention to kill the thief, only the hatred is inadequate, and now I hear that the Wuhuan in Qingzhou is completely destroyed, one is pleased for the people of Qingzhou, and the other hopes that you can see that the people in Jizhou can send troops to rescue, so as not to destroy the lives of Jizhou..."
"This..."Yan Shao said in surprise. Jizhou is a big state, and I am just a thorn in the history of Qingzhou, which is not good, and without the edict of the imperial court, it is not easy for me to mobilize troops and horses to the north..."
"Rest assured, my lord has already thought of this, and now he has sent someone to Luoyang, and there is no problem." Zheng Jing had long expected Yan Shao to say this, so he replied with a smile.
Yan Shao was still a little hesitant, after all, Qingzhou had just encountered war, and now he had just eliminated the Wuhuan rebels, so he would send troops north, which was inevitable...
Seeing Yan Shao's hesitation, Zheng Jing gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground. Can you bear to watch the people of Jizhou fall into fire and water! β
Yan Shao was shocked and hurriedly helped Zheng Jing up. "Hurry up, I'll promise you, sir..."
"It's to repay the kindness I have received before..."
