Chapter 139: Think Tank Advice, Population Crisis
Looking at the morale of the Nine Shadow Guards, although the battle was won, the damage of the Nine Shadow Guards was also extremely heavy, and the number of serious injuries and even deaths was nearly five hundred, which was indeed a heavy death and injury for the elite who were selected through thousands of selections with a depreciation of only 15,000.
Bei Minghao sighed and said to Cui Hao: "Bo Yuan, you go and count the number of dead and wounded and see how much our army has lost in this battle!" ”
Cui Hao immediately went down to count, and Bei Minghao looked at the other three strategists under him, his eyes became extremely sharp, and asked, "What do you think of this battle?" ”
At this moment, the three of them were all disgraced, especially Guo Jia fell asleep unconsciously because he had taken the Wanshou Pill before, and when he woke up, he found that the Northern Underworld Army was besieged by the enemy.
After learning about it, Guo Jia learned that it was Li Shimin and others who jointly ambushed Bei Minghao, and anger suddenly surged from his chest.
"Lord, the minister thought that the mastermind at this time must be Li Shimin, the king of Eastern Qin, and our army gained a lot in this war of exterminating thieves, and was jealous of it, so he instigated a group of princes, violated the covenant, and united to ambush us, intending to catch us off guard, it is simply too much deception, the lord can return to Huangzhou, immediately convene an alliance meeting, strongly condemn Li Shimin, and hit his reputation!"
Guo Jia's eyes were full of coldness, and he gritted his teeth and said, this time they were ambushed, in the final analysis, all of them were responsible, so they were all extremely indignant.
"Lord, don't talk about Li Shimin, just say that Qianzhou Wang Qiansun and Sizhou Wang Jiangling are faithless and unrighteous people, and they have repeatedly touched my Huangzhou tiger beard, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead, they must not stay this time, and they will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"
Jing Xiang was also filled with righteous indignation, his eyes flashed with hatred, if it weren't for the power of the Nine Shadows Guard under the command of Bei Minghao, the coalition army would definitely not give up and retreat.
Jia Xu, on the other hand, was much calmer, didn't seem to be angry at all, and fell into deep thought, but those who knew him knew that Jia Xu was really angry this time.
The poisoner is powerful, thousands of miles away!
Once Jia Xu gets angry, it will be these people who try to provoke who will suffer, and at this moment, the poison man is clearly a manifestation of anger.
"Wenhe, what about you? What do you think? Bei Minghao looked at Jia Xu who was deep in thought, and asked.
"Kill, there is no need to keep the two of them in Qiansun Jiangling, as for how to make these two disappear, in a certain opinion, it is easy, hum!"
Jia Xu laughed coldly, and his eyes flashed with danger.
"Oh, how, exactly?" Bei Minghao asked with interest when he heard this.
"The minister has three strategies, the upper policy, the best policy, driving the wolf and the tiger, and watching from the wall; The middle strategy, the bottom of the kettle, the assassination of the two; In the next volume, the lord only needs to send a general and an army of 50,000 people, and these two states can easily be earned! ”
Jia Xu is worthy of being an old fox, a scheming and arbitrary poisoner, and he thought of three strategies in a short moment.
"Oh, Wenhe, what do you mean by these three strategies?" Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Bei Minghao's eyes, and he asked in surprise.
"The best policy, the lord only needs to condemn Li Shimin and the other five people for their treachery and shameless actions in the name of the alliance leader, and launch the entire alliance to denounce, although the princes dare not crusade against Li Shimin, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, but only Jiangling and Qian Sun, but they are not afraid, and they will send troops to get a piece of the pie, especially Xiao Yan and Chai Rong, but the lord only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight..."
"As for the middle strategy, now there are no generals under the two of them in Jiangling, and the lord only needs to send a martial artist to sneak in and wait for the opportunity to assassinate, but this person will definitely die..."
"The next policy, the lord only needs these two people to send troops to denounce in the name of their untrustworthy and unrighteous intentions, and our army will be like a cloud, and take down Qianzhou and Sizhou as quickly as possible, so naturally it is not a problem..."
Bei Minghao fell into contemplation when he heard the words, but the best strategy is good, but he wants to share a piece of the pie with other princes, and when he says it badly, he will be angry, and this point will be a lesson this time.
The middle strategy is indeed a strategy to vent anger, but once these two people die, Qianzhou and Sizhou will be chaotic, and it will be difficult to ensure that Li Shimin, Liu Bei and others do not interfere with it, and it is not safe.
The next strategy is to do it safely, but the Northern Underworld Army has suffered heavy losses today, and the losses are no less than 100,000 people, and they must recuperate and recuperate.
"Fengxiao, Zizhen, what do you two think of Wenhe's strategy?" I couldn't make a decision for a while, so I was busy asking the two ghosts for advice.
"Lord, it's a good idea to come to see Brother Jia, but I think the lord should hesitate, right? As for the middle strategy, it can be skipped, although Qiansun Jiangling is very hateful, but this time the two of them are also afraid that the Japanese soldiers will point at them, so they jump over the wall in a hurry, which is understandable!
The so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, not to mention that this is a prince's struggle for hegemony, since ancient times, there is only the king and the defeat, there is no right or wrong, the truth is nothing more than that; And the next strategy is also excellent, and the lord is afraid that he is hesitant because our army has recently suffered a lot of losses and urgently needs to recuperate, right? ”
Jing Xiang began to analyze Bei Minghao, and basically guessed Bei Minghao's psychological activities, clarified his thoughts for him, and identified the benefits and disadvantages; After listening to this, Bei Minghao looked at Guo Jia, who was newly invested.
"Lord, as Zizhen said, you should hesitate and hesitate before the upper and lower strategies, since this is the case, why not use both sides, then you don't have to worry so much, although there are three heroes in the south, Sun Quan in the north is also not to be underestimated;
As for Xiong Xin, Xiao Yan, and Chai Rong, although they have the ambition to take revenge, they were born at the wrong time, and they have already lost their qualifications to compete, so they don't need to worry at all, and I, Huangzhou, can also repel the enemy army and protect myself with the full strength of the three heroes, so why should I be afraid of them? ”
Guo Jia talked eloquently and merged the upper and lower strategies, which meant that Bei Minghao would convene the princes of Dongzhou to denounce the two in the name of the alliance leader, and on the other hand, he would personally take action to quickly take the two states and sit on the position of the overlord of Dongzhou.
"Thank you to the three of you for teaching me, the words of the three of them are like an empowerment, so that the lonely mouth stops open, and let me know how to play the next step of this Dongzhou competition!"
Bei Minghao bowed to the two of them with great humility.
"My lord, in this battle, the number of casualties of our army is 167,356, while the casualties of the coalition army are more than 178,000, which is basically the same as our army."
Cui Hao reported the number of casualties in this battle, although he knew that the battle was a heavy loss, but he still gasped when he heard the number.
In just one ambush battle, the losses of both sides amounted to 300,000 people, which has to be said about the tragic situation of this battle.
"How many people are left in our army now?" Bei Minghao asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the lord, now the remaining strength of our army is more than 208,000 people, plus the strength of Huangzhou and its surrounding three states, it should be almost more than 350,000 people!"
Cui Hao didn't know what Bei Minghao was asking for, but he still answered truthfully.
"Since the Taiping Uprising, how many people have died in Dongzhou? Is there an exact record? Bei Minghao asked again.
"Back to the lord, since last year's drought to the end of the Taiping Thieves Uprising, the number of deaths of the people in Dongzhou at dawn is as high as forty percent of the total number of people in Dongzhou, and the number is about to drop by more than eight million, especially the strong, the number of deaths is not less than four million, and the evil Dao Zhang Jiao alone kills more than three million people, after this battle, I am afraid that the population of Dongzhou will be drastically reduced, so the people of Huangzhou must find ways to keep it, otherwise our army may not have enough soldiers!"
Cui Hao's brows were furrowed, his face was worried, and several other people gasped when they heard this, the population of Dongzhou is less than 20 million, and more than forty percent of the deaths will be due to a major drought and the uprising of the thieves, which is really appalling.
For a while, everyone fell into deep thought and began to think about how to deal with it...
