Chapter 1048: Boss Cao is crazy
Gently Chen Qun left, just as Chen Qun came gently, waved his sleeves, and took away a stomach full of indignation......
On the tenth day after Chen Qun's departure, Cao's army began to mobilize in full force, and countless soldiers poured towards the Han and Wei borders.
It's not an exaggeration to say that there are countless people, at least half a month, and Wang Xuan hasn't counted how many people Boss Cao has mobilized this time.
From Jingyu along the line, to the Yellow River, and then to Xuzhou, every important node can see the Cao army pouring in like a cover, because there are too many people, there is no way to think about the dress problem, so it is not clear which are the soldiers, which are the people, anyway, there are people everywhere.
It must be admitted that the accumulation of hundreds of years of the family is really strong, after Chen Qun passed back the information obtained from the north, everyone knew the irreconcilability of the two sides, and this comprehensive mobilization really shocked Wang Xuan.
"Boss Cao is crazy." Putting down the information in his hand, Wang Xuan looked at the people in the conference room with an incredulous expression, "Are you sure that the statistics are correct, there are more than three million people counted on this alone, right?" ”
"How many people are there under Boss Cao's rule? He's just a few days away! ”
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and smiled bitterly, in order to deal with Boss Cao's comprehensive counterattack this time, these guys all put down their respective jobs and put their energy here.
"There are still more than 20 million people, but I don't know if Cao Cao is crazy or not, those families are indeed crazy." Xi Zhicai glared at Wang Xuan fiercely, and then said hatefully: "You said that you were crazy last time, you have to say it so dead, now it's okay, according to the intelligence, these three million people are not all that, those families are still continuing to mobilize the people under their rule, and the ghost knows how many people will be mobilized in the end!" ”
"No......" Wang Xuan didn't know how to refute it, I just bragged about it, as for causing such a big disaster!
"Mobilize so many people and stop farming? Don't harvest today? Are you hungry next year? Wang Xuan still couldn't believe it.
In the past, everyone's so-called million army was just a bluff, and the two or three hundred thousand who could really be mobilized dared to shout a million army, but now there are more than three million in the data, damn, how many people are there on my side!
"I don't know what you're talking about." Xi Zhicai frowned, and said with a solemn face: "However, according to the intelligence, among these three million people, there are not only men, but also women and old people, it can be seen that those top families are really forced to be in a hurry this time, and they are ready to drown us with crowd tactics!" ”
"Do they have so much rations?" Wang Xuan continued to ask without giving up.
Xi Zhicai shook the information in his hand and began to tell in detail.
This time is different from the past, all localities are led by the big families, and the small and medium-sized families participate, it is really a comprehensive mobilization, in order to balance the interests of the families in the border areas to bankrupt their families to support this counteroffensive plan, the result of the discussion is the replacement of population, land, and resources.
The wealthy families in the central area take out the resources such as population land and other resources controlled by themselves to compensate the border families to make up for their losses, which means that the border families have not lost too much, but just replaced the resources, so it doesn't matter if the broken family supports the counteroffensive.
This is also the reason why men, women and children go into battle together, the people have no autonomy at all, the wealthy families who control the land say what is what, go or not, whoever dares not to go will be deprived of the right to lease land for farming, so that you tenants are not properly managed, you can only wait to starve to death!
In this case, why don't you do it!
As for the food or something, it is directly the people's rations and the accumulation of the family, and it is easy to hold on for a few months, and if you can persist until this season's harvest, you can hold on for another half a year.
The current situation is that these people are flocking in, without organization, without discipline, without even camping, and completely like locusts.
If the city is blocked and the main road is impassable, the people will stay in front of the city and dig pits and pile up the soil, with the momentum of filling the city with mounds.
If they came across a passable place, they would pour directly into the territory of the Han army, which was also mixed with small groups of cavalry of the Cao army and soldiers disguised as refugees, burning farmland along the way, destroying water conservancy facilities and roads...... Destroy everything that can be destroyed.
The losses caused are uncountable!
"What about the border guards? Just do it and watch them destroy? Wang Xuan's expression also became solemn, and he looked at Xi Zhicai in an unkind tone and asked.
"Or else? What else can I do? Xi Zhicai looked a little deflated, "That's not 12,000 people, even if it's 350,000, if we are forced by Cao Jun to attack the city, we won't be soft, after all, we have to be responsible for our own safety, but this is 3 million people!" ”
"There are too many people, do you want to kill all these three million people, it is simply impossible, we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, we have not committed any crimes against the people, and we have also publicized and educated the army in this way, and now we can slaughter these people who are obviously the people!"
"Then the army will collapse first, not to mention the benevolence of the lord, it is impossible to order the slaughter of these three million people."
As he spoke, Xi Zhicai waved his arms excitedly, "I know what you want to say, after killing some of them, you can naturally scare the people into turning their heads and running, but the problem is that according to the intelligence later, behind these people are the seriously mobilized Cao soldiers and private soldiers of the family, and the army is full of large iron-clad four-wheeled carriages, and they completely block the way back." ”
"Obviously, Cao Jun's calculation is that these three million people will die on our land!"
"Even if you use corpses to cause a plague, you have to fight with us to the end!"
"They're crazy!"
After the drama was finished, there was a dead silence in the conference room, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed, no one thought that those families full of benevolence and morality would be so vicious, this moment really unraveled the last trace of disguise, cold-blooded, brutal, more brutal than the tyrants they criticized on their lips, and it was simply inhumane.
Of course, this is in the eyes of Wang Xuan and others, but in the mouths of those families, it is another matter, the family just pushed people out, but they didn't say that they would let you kill, you can ignore it, and it was not the people of the family who killed people, or Cao Cao's people who blocked the road after the break, so they were still clean, and they couldn't get the slightest stain on their bodies.
What's more, in the eyes of the scholars, it was they who sheltered the people, and they gave the people the opportunity to cultivate the land to support themselves.
It's justified, and there's nothing wrong with that!
