Chapter 352: Wei Qi

In the past few days, Xu Huang led 10,000 horses to cooperate with Wei Yan's plan, and while he sent people to Baibo Valley to inquire about the results of the battle, he also sent scouts to investigate everywhere to prevent the rout of Baibo Valley from escaping to the south of Hedong County.

Guo Yuan led more than 4,000 cavalry of the Yuan army to Wenxi County, and was already discovered by the scouts sent by Xu Huang.

The scout also figured out the location of Guo Yuan's headquarters and quickly reported back to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang commanded 6,000 cavalry and quietly approached Guo Yuan's station.

Yuan Jun was so tired that he was lifted by Xu Huang's men and horses, and they hadn't woken up yet.

Most of them became prisoners, and only a few who woke up in time gathered around Guo Yuan.

After Guo Yuan was photographed off the horse by Pan Feng, they had no choice but to bow their heads and arrest them.

The reason why these Yuan soldiers were willing to be captured and never resisted was because in the past year, Wei Yan's propaganda personnel were scattered all over the place, spreading all kinds of good things about Wei Yan's forces everywhere, so that these Yuan soldiers knew the situation of the Wei army very well. They knew that as long as they surrendered obediently, at worst, they would be demoted to the mines under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Corps for mining, and under normal circumstances, they would at least go to Tuntian, and those who performed better would be auxiliaries of the Wei army, and the more elite soldiers who had not made any big mistakes would usually be reorganized into the soldiers of the Wei army on the spot, and the treatment of the Wei soldiers was far better than that of the Yuan army.

If you would rather die in battle than surrender, then you are welcome, after you die, in order to prevent your family from avenging you, you will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and your family will not be killed, and all your male family members will be castrated and sent to mining, and your female family members will be sent to the brothel of the Qinglou.

Cao Cao and other hostile forces did not agree with Wei Yan's regulation at first, but later found that Wei Yan's stipulation was spicy and vicious, it was simply for human nature, ordinary people were afraid of death, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, when they thought of following the forces with no future, the braver they died, the faster they died, and the more miserable their families were dealt with by the Wei army, many soldiers thought that if they could pretend to be dead, they would dodge if they could, and they would surrender if they could surrender.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao and other opposition monarchs spread rumors that were unfavorable to Wei Yan, and rumors that the Wei army would kill all the captives and send all the captive female families to the male families of the Qinglou to be castrated, this kind of lie could not deceive the people of the Han Dynasty who were becoming more and more intelligent and experienced.

As we all know, the reason why Wei Yan is getting bigger and bigger is not to recruit new soldiers, but to reorganize and reduce troops.

The reason why Wei Yan's Tuntian Corps was able to support the huge logistics of the Wei army was also by reorganizing the surrendered troops and displaced people into Tuntian soldiers.

These facts are obvious, the more Cao Cao and other forces slander Wei Yan like this, the more Wei Yan is loved by those lower-level soldiers, anyway, surrendering to other forces is uncertain, surrendering to Wei Yan can not only save his life, but also get a reward, because Wei Yan is the only warlord who can declare "obedience and reward" with wealth and wealth.

Guo Yuan was grateful to Yuan Shao, and when he saw that those Yuan soldiers surrendered to Wei Yan without hesitation, he roared very indignantly: "You unrighteous people, is the general (at this time Yuan Shao was given the title of a great general by Cao Cao) not good to you? You surrender to Wei Yan in the blink of an eye! ”

Pan Fengwen shouted: "Shut the fuck up with me!" He tore off a piece of cloth on his body and stuffed it into Guo Yuan's mouth, blocking him and unloading Guo Yuan's chin by the way, so that he couldn't vomit even if he wanted to.

Guo Yuan's eyes rolled over, the smell of that piece of cloth was too strange.

Dian Wei saw that Guo Yuan's expression was very strange, so he asked Pan Feng: "Wushuang, where did you get that piece of cloth?" ”

Pan Feng smiled and said: "This is my socks, they are worn, and before I have time to sew them, I kicked them in my pocket, I didn't expect them to come in handy today!" ”

Dian Wei laughed and said: "A stubborn dog thief like Guo Yuan is going to be abused like this!" ”

Wei Qi, the current Wei army Bo Cao, brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said to Guo Yuan with a smile: "General Guo, my lord knows that your martial arts and strategies are very outstanding, and you love talents, and I don't want to embarrass you, you are now captured by our army, this news will not be hidden for long, sooner or later it will be known by General Yuan, if the general knows that you not only buried all his elite 10,000 horses, but also tens of thousands of Hun cavalry were all wiped out by our Wei army, you think about how the general will deal with you, although he can't kill you, But it's hard to talk about your family, so it's better for you to write a letter and let your family avoid it, so as not to be killed by the general! ”

Guo Yuan thought about it gloomily, remembering Yuan Shao's righteousness to the one who helped him defeat Gongsun Zhan, and suddenly felt that with Yuan Shao's unkindness, it was difficult to maintain his family's smallness, and he had to admit that Wei Qi was very reasonable, because he was coarse and well-versed in writing and ink, so he came to write a letter to his family himself.

Wei Qi sat on the side and watched his posture of waving his pen, looked at his handwriting, looked at it very seriously, and then sighed: "General Guo, your calligraphy is a wonder in the world!" ”

Guo Yuan laughed and said: "Mr. Wei, my calligraphy is not comparable to you, everyone says that the calligraphy of the son of the Wei family has caught up with Cai Yong!" ”

Wei Qi is an inconspicuous bull, he gave Cao Cao advice in history, took the Hedong salt pond as an official property, set up a messenger to supervise the sale, and extracted the salt tax, which Cao Cao received. Since then, Wei Qi's official strategy of Yanchi, like Zaoyi's Tuntian Proposal, has become the two foundations of Cao Wei's prosperity. Wei Qian's son Wei Qian is a big bull, when he entered Shu, he actually single-handedly got Zhong Hui, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, the three major bulls, if there is no Wei Qiang, Sima Yan does not know when he will be able to unify the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Qi was an early teenager, known for his talent and learning, and once served as a subordinate official of Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, Maoling County Commander, and Shang Shulang.

Historically, in the fourth year of Jian'an, the Battle of Guandu was about to break out, but at this time, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao replied that he supported Yuan Shao, and the generals of Guanzhong also remained neutral and sat back and watched the success or failure. Cao Cao, because of the disagreement between Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, and Liu Biao, ordered Wei Qian to serve the imperial history as the ruler of the book, and sent an envoy to Yizhou to ask Liu Zhang to send troops to contain Liu Biao, so as to avoid Liu Biao sending troops to disturb the rear; But when Wei Qi passed through Chang'an, he knew that the road to Yizhou had been blocked, so he had to stay in Guanzhong.

Historically, after the northern part was settled, Wei Qi wrote to Xun Yu and said: "Guanzhong is a rich and fertile land, some time ago, due to the shortage of soldiers and horses, there were more than 100,000 households in exile to Jingzhou. Hearing that their hometown has settled down, these people are looking forward to returning to their hometown as soon as possible. However, those who came back could not find work to do, and the generals of all walks of life vied with each other to recruit them as their personal soldiers. Because the strength of the counties was too weak to fight them, the power of the generals gradually became stronger. As soon as something happens, these armies become a trouble. Salt, a treasure of the state, has not been managed since the war, and its distribution has been scattered. Now it is necessary to set up a special person to supervise the sale, as in the past, and use the money earned to buy some rice, and if there are people who have returned, they should supply rice to them, and encourage them to work hard and accumulate grain, so that Guanzhong can become rich again. When the people from afar heard about these things, they would surely travel day and night, scrambling to be the first to rush back. If you send Si Lixiao Lieutenant to stay in Guanzhong as the main general, then you can gradually weaken the power of the generals from all walks of life, so that the power of the local government will become stronger and stronger, and the life of the common people will become richer, which is a good thing for the strong and weak enemy! Xun Yu reported Wei Qi's suggestion to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao adopted his opinion, and began to send servants to supervise the salt officials, and sent Si Lixiao Lieutenant to govern Hongnong.
