Chapter 660: Prisoners of War
"What a bumper harvest!"
Liangzhou has a population of two million, let Wei Zheng manage, in the past six months, all over the country has entered a period of high-end development, everywhere you can see a piece of farmland, the people live very well, the border line has Yue's army, no one is worried about the destruction of their homeland.
Wei Zheng still has a great sense of accomplishment that he can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but this time Yue Fei threw him a problem, which made Wei Zheng feel a little nervous.
Yue Yun and Shi Dangdang had just sent him 650,000 captives to settle down, in order not to let these people get entangled together, he could only separate these 650,000 people and place them in various parts of Liangzhou and live with the people of Liangzhou.
But these 650,000 people joined Liangzhou, and Yue Fei sent Yang Zaixing to send him 400,000 prisoners of war again, which made Wei Zheng's scalp tingle.
"General Yang, these 400,000 people, you still send them to Yizhou and hand them over to the prime minister for arrangement!"
Although Wei Zheng wanted to keep these people and enrich Liangzhou, he was now short of money and didn't dare to stay.
"Lord Assassin Shi, no, most of these people are old and weak, with children, women, and the prime of life according to the treaty explained by the Emperor of War, all of them are confiscated, and the general doesn't want these people to be treated unfairly, and I hope that Lord Assassin Shi can make proper arrangements."
Yang Zaixing is now in command, the 100,000 army of the Azure Clan, naturally he doesn't want the family members of the 100,000 army to go to Yizhou, he is worried that the road is far away and people will die, which will affect his control of the Azure Clan's army.
Wei Zheng can help Yue Yun settle 650,000 people and make Yue Yun a general of an army of 300,000, he looked at Wei Zheng with a clear meaning.
"What a bunch of bastards!"
Wei Zheng was distressed in his heart, these 400,000 people joined Liangzhou, he not only had to be careful of these people rioting, but also took out food to feed these people, Liangzhou has just been developed for a year, even if God is beautiful and the land is harvested, it can't support more than three million people.
This is not only the common people, but also the history of Liangzhou, but also the Yue family army that feeds Yue Fei.
In the past, the Yuejia army was only 300,000, distributed throughout Liangzhou, which was easy to solve, but after Tao Song's policy of accepting prisoners of war, the Yuejia army expanded to one million.
That's a lot of money.
"General Yang, let me tell you the truth, there is not so much grain in Liangzhou now, and if you want to feed these people, you can only send them to Yizhou, or let the Emperor of War open a warehouse to release grain."
"You are fast, go to the Emperor of War yourself, transport the grain back, and I will arrange people for you, otherwise you can only send them into Yizhou."
"That's it!"
Yang Zaixing is okay to fight, but he can engage in production and accumulate grain, but he is only 108,000 miles away from Wei Zheng, and when he heard Wei Zheng's words, he also began to think deeply.
"General, we are stationed in Liangzhou, and we are willing to follow Liangzhou to fight to the end!"
Behind Yang Zaixing, several leading generals of the Azure Clan, looking at Yang Zaixing's exit, they were willing to join the Warring States, in addition to suffering defeat, which made them helpless, they also wanted to find a good place for their families to survive.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, you wait patiently here for a few days, and I will go to the imperial city to bring you the grain."
Yang Zaixing didn't want to fall out of harmony with these people who took the initiative to take refuge in him, so he could only stand up and go to Tao Song to ask for food.
"Lord Thorn Shi, please take care of them for a few days, I believe them, please believe me, you are not white-eyed wolves!"
"I can promise you, but you should go early and return early!"
Wei Zheng raised his eyes to look at the dense human heads, and he took a deep breath to himself.
"If you choose to join the Warring States, you must treat this place as your own home, and you can protect it with your own life, I believe you should know the Battle of Ancheng, General Li Yuanba and his soldiers, fought in Ancheng for a month, fought day and night, and used their own blood to create faith, General Yang believes in you, and I Wei Zheng also believe in you!"
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will defend our homeland with our lives!"
400,000 people, plus an army of tens of thousands of people, replied to Wei Zheng in unison, they have a lot of population, if it weren't for Li Yuanba alone killing 300,000 Southern Barbarians, they were defeated by Yang Zaixing, and they would not have surrendered so easily.
"Report!"
"War Emperor Yang Zaixing is asking to see him outside the palace!"
A forbidden soldier ran to the upper study and watched Tao Song speak out.
"Announce him in!"
"Xuan, Yang Zaixing enters the palace to see the driver!"
"Xuan, Yang Zaixing enters the palace to see the driver!"
There was a roar from inside the palace, and Yang Zaixing got up outside the palace gate and walked into the palace.
Towards the upper study.
"Yang Zaixing meets the Emperor of War, long live the Emperor of War, long live Long live!"
"Get up!"
Tao Song sat on the chair and looked at Yang Zaixing.
"Come see me, what's the matter? It can't be the loss of Liangzhou, right? ”
Tao Song pretended to be slightly angry and yelled at Yang Zaixing.
"The Emperor of War Liangzhou has not been lost, just because Weichen has captured hundreds of thousands of people from the Tianlan Clan, and the Liangzhou Mansion Treasury can no longer support it, so the assassin Shi asked me to escort the grain and grass!"
"Oh!"
"Tell me, the current situation in Liangzhou?"
"The Emperor of War, Liangzhou originally had an army of 300,000, stationed in various parts of Liangzhou, Nianguan encountered an attack by foreigners, Li Yuanba fought a bloody battle between the Southern Barbarians and the King Kong tribe in Ancheng, the first battle lasted for a month, Li Yuanba killed the Southern Barbarians as high as 300,000 alone, and the King Kong people were more than 100,000, and turned Ancheng into a river of blood, the Southern Barbarians and the King Kong people retreated, and met Yue Yun and Shi Dangdang as an ambush, and were collectively captured, and the Southern Barbarians and King Kong people chose to surrender, so that Yue Yun's army was as high as more than 300,000 at once, plus the original soldiers, the number was as high as 400,000, The family members of the Southern Barbarians and the King Kong people combined had 650,000, and Yue Yun asked Lord Thorn Shi to arrange it. ”
"A few days ago, I defeated the army of the Tianlan clan in Liushang River, the Tianlan clan surrendered, the soldiers in my hands are as high as 200,000, and the Tianlan clan has 400,000 dependents, I found the Thorn Shi, the Thorn Shi said that there is no surplus food in the Liangzhou Mansion Treasury, and I want to settle these people, let me come!"
"You came to me for food, right?"
Tao Song smiled.
"Go to the prime minister yourself and let the prime minister open a warehouse to release grain, but these people surrender to you, you can hear me clearly, if these people riot, be careful that I clean you up!"
"War Emperor, this won't appear, they will only be grateful!"
"Oh, let's hear it!"
"Emperor Zhan, the Southern Barbarians came from the upper reaches of the Liushang River, I heard that they encountered the army of the upper Chu State for encirclement and suppression, and suffered heavy losses, people went downstream, and met the Heavenly Spirit Country where the Spirit Emperor was located, ambushed, and completely beat the Southern Barbarians homeless, and finally met the King Kong people, it just so happened that the King Kong people suffered a defeat in the Tianling Country, and the people of the two tribes saw that we did not have many people, so they came to attack Ancheng."
"Li Yuanba exerted his might in Ancheng, killed hundreds of thousands of people alone, completely made the Southern Barbarians and King Kong people lose their fighting spirit, and when they encountered Yue Yun and Shi Dangdang, they surrendered decisively."
"The Azure Clan is similar to the Southern Barbarians and King Kong people, so the War Emperor doesn't have to worry, they are making trouble."
"So, Liangzhou is next to the Heavenly Spirit Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom?"
"Not only that, the Emperor of War, Liangzhou has crossed the mountains, there is a country formed by barbarians, the Barbarian Empire, which is very powerful, as well as the Chu State, Xiang Yu, the Spirit Emperor of the Heavenly Spirit Country, and the evil god of the Evil Moon Country."
Yang Zaixing, as Yue Fei's general, is still very clear about the enemies around Liangzhou.
