Meng Huo is so strong because he has gathered a large number of powerful cave masters and country masters.

Yang Feng is one of the several cave masters at the peak of his strength.

There are 30,000 warriors under the vulture bones, and Yang Feng, who is not too far from Meng Huodongfu, has as many as 60,000 or 70,000 warriors.

After asking Meng for the task of intercepting Jiang Wei, Yang Feng returned to the cave and immediately set out for the expedition.

He left only a few thousand men to guard the tribe, and the rest of the warriors went with him, numbering as many as 60,000.

Jiang Wei also led the barbarian army to advance forward at this time.

Along the way, they met many barbarian villages.

Every time he went to a village, Jiang Wei would order looting.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang was there, and after he won, he would also restrain the warriors, so that they could not loot or kill, so as to stabilize the area they had gained.

Jiang Wei's approach is completely different from Zhuge Liang's.

He didn't care if the barbarian villages in the occupied territory would rebel in the future.

Because he didn't even think about leaving these villages.

Cao Shuo wants to fuse barbarians in the future, and the premise of being able to integrate smoothly is that the number of barbarians must not be more than that of the Central Plains.

Even the Central Plains people who migrated to the wilderness must maintain a relative balance in numbers.

For Cao Shuo's future fusion plan, all Jiang Wei can do is to use barbarians to reduce the number of barbarians.

Therefore, after each victory, he would choose to send men to hunt down the fleeing barbarians.

Kill one more, and the number of barbarians will be one less.

The barbarian warriors who stormed the village, like unguarded hounds, searched the village for women and belongings.

The village was plundered, the men were almost killed, and the women were carried on horseback......

Standing beside Jiang Wei, looking at the barbarian warriors who were looting, Xiahoudun asked in a low voice: "Boyo, is it a little inappropriate for us to do this?" ”

"The lord's plan for the future cannot tolerate too many barbarians." Jiang Wei said: "What we can do is to deal with more barbarians for the Lord through conquest. When the Central Plains people move here in the future, they will not be too disadvantaged in terms of numbers. ”

"After so many years of leading troops, I have never seen such a thorough looting." Xiahou Yuan on the other side said: "Even the clansmen rob like this, if they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, then they will have it?" ”

"Actually, why aren't we Central Plains people?" Jiang Wei said: "After many years of war, are there still fewer slaughtered villages and cities in the Central Plains? People in the midst of war are like wild beasts. There is no goodness, no compassion. Some are just unscrupulous means to survive. They're just doing what we all do, but because they're alien, we don't like it. ”

Looking back on so many years, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan also agreed very much with what Jiang Wei said.

In order to pacify the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to recruit villagers to fight against the rebels.

When the Yellow Turban thieves started up, the slogans were loud, but the things they did were not so beautiful.

Everywhere they went, the Yellow Turban thieves would take away all the men, women, and children there, forcing them to join the Yellow Turban Army, and those who dared to disobey would be killed immediately.

During the period of Emperor Huan Ling, disasters were repeated in various places, and the government not only did not actively provide disaster relief, but also intensified the exploitation of the people, so that there was famine everywhere.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was also a rebellion against the mediocre and incompetent Han court, which should have been supported by many people.

But the vision of the Zhang Jiao brothers and the eyes of Qu Shuai among the Yellow Turban Thieves determined that they could only see the immediate interests, not only did they not protect the interests of the people, but also brought endless fear to the people, so that when it came to the Yellow Turban Thieves, everyone was in danger.

The imperial court issued an edict to recruit villagers from all over the country, and many heroes of the scholar clan poured out their family assets to strengthen their power.

Civilians who have an endless fear of the Yellow Turban Thieves have joined the Township Warrior Corps in order to fill their stomachs in the troubled times.

The Yellow Turbans were mostly civilians who were forced to join, and these people lacked training and did not have enough food and ordnance, and many of them even used clubs when fighting.

In particular, they have done many evils in various places, and the people hate them to the core, even more than they hate the court.

Without the backing of the people, the people's hearts could not be united, and the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was extremely poor.

In just one year, the so-called Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down by the rising Shi forces in various places.

After the Yellow Turban was pacified, the commanders of all walks of life led their headquarters to fight on their own, and launched a year-long tug-of-war with the Shi forces.

In this process, many Yellow Turban thieves took refuge in the imperial court and accepted the so-called recruitment of the Han court.

The years-long Yellow Turban Turmoil led to a sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains.

If at this time, the Han court can take back the military power in the hands of the scholars, and then make every effort to govern and rectify the world, the Han Dynasty's qi will not be exhausted, and the people of the world will no longer suffer from war.

Unfortunately, the newly enthroned little emperor was too young, and the power was in the hands of the Ten Standing Servants and the Queen Mother, and the struggle between the scholars intensified, and finally formed a situation in which each supported its own troops and attacked each other.

The conquest between the heroes intensified, and the life of the people was even more difficult than during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The people of the Central Plains in the war did not regard the lives of their compatriots as if they were mustard?

Jiang Wei and the others stationed outside the barbarian village.

The barbarian village is not quite the same as the Central Plains village.

Their village is much larger, and the distance between houses is relatively wide.

Outside the village, you can see what is happening inside the village at a glance.

The barbarian warriors who rushed into the village ran in all directions, killing the men of the village one by one.

The women were carried by them on horseback.

The small village was looted, filled with wails and cries.

Jiang Wei and the others are all battle-hardened generals, and they have seen too many scenes that are even more miserable than now.

His ears were filled with the cries and wails of the barbarian villagers, but Jiang Wei remained unmoved.

until the cave master came to him.

"General Jiang, this village has been ransacked." The owner of the cave said, "The women were all snatched by the warriors, and none of the men were left......

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and asked Jiang Wei, "What about the old man and the child?" ”

"Do you want to ask me about this kind of thing?" Jiang Wei smiled slightly, and said to the cave master: "The cave master has also fought with warriors for many years, so he should know what to do." ”

"I see." The owner of the cave agreed, turned around and returned to the village.

After a while, Jiang Wei heard him shout: "In order to avoid future troubles, except for the ones that you want to take away, you will not leave any of the rest, and kill them all." ”

Hearing the cave master shouting from afar, Xiahoudun asked Jiang Wei: "Boyo, is it a bit inappropriate to kill them all?" ”
