Handan City, the big tent of the Chinese army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Bao sat according to the case, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang, Guo Da, Cheng Yuanzhi, Liao Hua, Yu Shi and other generals, as well as Jia Xu, Guo Tu, Zhang Lie and others gathered in the tent, Zhang Bao looked gloomy, and said with a solemn face: "Everyone, Huguan and Yecheng have fallen into the hands of Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, and our army has lost the barrier to protect, you can talk about your thoughts~"

Dian Wei, He Man and other evil men were expressionless, standing in the tent, talking about going into battle to kill the enemy, no one recognized it, but in the face of advice, they really didn't have that brain.

Zhang Bar's sharp gaze swept over the faces of the evil men, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, he still had too high expectations, and then turned his eyes to Guo Tu, and said in a deep voice: "Gongzhi, what do you think." ”

Guo Tu suddenly opened his eyes, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Huguan and Yecheng gateways, now the portals are lost, and it is useless to defend Handan, Guangping, Wu'an and other places, and the soldiers, horses and cavalry under Dong Zhuo occupy the majority, and our army is almost all infantry, and there is no barrier to rely on and field battles, in the disadvantage of our army, according to the foolish opinion of Yitu, it is better to shrink the troops, storm the official army camp in Youzhou, appease Gongsun Du, and then use Youzhou as a base to expand the power to the north!" ”

"It's not impossible to storm the Youzhou camp!"

Zhang Bao frowned and said, "It's just that Youzhou is located in a remote area, the land is barren, the population is sparse, there is no food output, and it is adjacent to foreign races, and it is difficult for our army to recuperate, and Gongsun Du has lived in the Liaodong Peninsula for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to get along with our army!" ”

Guo Tu bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "What the lord said is the truth, but Youzhou is an important production area of war horses, and occupying Youzhou is equivalent to having a steady supply of war horses, and this one alone is worth tens of millions~"

Zhang Bao frowned, put his hand on his forehead, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, his heart moved, the extremely top strategist, I don't know what this old fox thinks, so he asked, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu said in a condensed voice: "I agree with what the public rules say!" ”

"Huh!?"

Zhang Bao was slightly disappointed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Although Youzhou is rich in war horses, but it is sparsely populated, can it really be used as the foundation of our army?" ”

"What the lord is worried about is nothing more than Gongsun Du, foreign races, and grain!"

Jia Xu said lightly, "Gongsun Du is greedy and unwise, and his soldiers and horses have been sparse for a long time, if there is nothing to do, if not, the soldiers of our three armies are not ornaments, and the foreign races outside the Seychelles are all barbarians, and a plan can be determined!" As for the food~" Jia Xu said this, his eyes suddenly became extremely clear, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you have decided to give up Jizhou, then why leave a Jizhou intact to the enemy!" ”

"Huh?"

Guo Tu's heart jumped, Huo Ran turned around, and happened to collide with Jia Xu's cold gaze, and in an instant Guo Tu already realized what Jia Xu wanted to do.

Zhang Baojiong's eyes were fixed on Jia Xu for a moment, and he had been looking at Jia Xu like this all along, and Jia Xu's cloudy eyes met Zhang Baoqing's gaze without retreating.

"Wenhe, do you know the cost of immigration?" Zhang Bao looked at Jia Xu's solemn voice word by word and asked.

Jia Xu still said indifferently: "Half of the millions of people in Jizhou can feed my army when they arrive in Youzhou!" Moreover, there are countless foreign races outside the Sai, based on the Han people, plundering the foreign races as slaves, as long as there are people, within five years, the wealth of Youzhou can be compared with the Central Plains! ”

Zhang Bao couldn't make a choice in his heart, so he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's getting late, let's get here first today." You can go back to each of you ~ General Rong Ben thinks ~"

"No!" Everyone retreated and slowly left.

Zhang Bao held his forehead with his hand, staring at the mutton fat oil lamp on the case and was stunned, Youzhou is rich in war horses, this one is extremely attractive to Zhang Bao, although the Yellow Turban Iron Horse is famous all over the world, but after all, the number is scarce, Zhang Bao has long coveted the cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command, but because there is no source of war horses, it has been impossible to form a large number of cavalry, if it occupies Youzhou, there will be a steady stream of war horse resources, and since then the Yellow Turban has also cavalry!

However, the barrenness of the land in Youzhou and the scarcity of the population eventually restrict development, if it is according to Jia Xu's opinion, it is indeed a good idea for the people of Jizhou to immigrate to Youzhou, but this is an extremely risky behavior.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history also conscripted millions of immigrants to enrich the border fortress, but it was not a surname, but it took decades to complete it before and after, with the strong national strength of the Western Han Dynasty at that time, it was still unable to support the large-scale immigration project, not to mention the current Zhang Bao?

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, 100,000 people were requisitioned from the Central Plains to enrich the border fortress, and the number of people who could survive the first cold winter and wait until the spring wheat maturity in the second year would not exceed 20,000.

The large number of deaths of immigrants are not only caused by the wind chill caused by food and lodging, the hunger caused by lack of food, but also the diseases caused by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil after arriving in the border area, and if it coincides with the hot summer, it may even trigger a large-scale plague, which will kill all the people of the Central Plains who have migrated to the past and the original residents of the border area.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Great Migration is a road of death paved with white bones. It is likely that only 12 out of 10 million people will be left in the end~

However, the water and soil can be ignored, Jizhou is next to Youzhou, the water and soil are almost one, there should be no big problem, only food, if there is enough food, maybe millions of immigrants are really not a problem.

"Oh~food, food~"

Zhang Bao rubbed his sore head and sighed, the food of millions of people and the grain varieties of spring are really a headache~

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

That night, Guo Tu stepped into Jia Xu's big tent, hugged his fists and said: "I don't know what happened to Brother Wenhe?" ”

"Rule, come and sit!"

Jia Xu beckoned Guo Tu to sit down, poured the freshly brewed tea out of the pot, looked up and said: "The lord's method of making tea is unheard of in ancient times, but it is far better than the method of boiling tea, not only the tea soup is clear, but also the fragrance is incomparable, and the lord is really an elegant person!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo Tu sat down, took the teacup and sniffed it at the bottom of his nose, and suddenly felt the fragrance rushing straight to his mind, and said to Jia Xu for a while: "Brother Wenhe, not only do you love this tea, but Ruzhicai also loves it!" ”

Jia Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said softly: "If it is a matter of the day, how does the public think the lord chooses?" ”

Guo Tu slowly put down the teacup, frowned and said: "Lord of Mercy, once the plan of immigration is not made, if our army forcibly occupies Youzhou, I am afraid that not only will it not be able to make our army recuperate, but it will also restrict the future development of our army!" So the picture is for sinners too! (To be continued.) )
