Chapter 9: If you don't rely on your brains, then rely on your faces
"Tuntian, how do you get seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle? Do you have a good idea of where to divide the region? Coming out of the main account, Xi Zhicai asked with doubts.
He didn't expect that Zhang Han already had such a strategy in his belly, when he was still working for literature under his account, he never showed his dew, but just learned to pretend to be self-respecting and listening.
It would be nice to have more discussions with him then.
"No," Zhang Han grinned.
"Win this battle first, and then think about the specific tuntian matters, but after the thieves surrender, they will definitely be willing to be tunmin, as long as the government order is well settled, and there will be no mutiny."
"It also makes sense," Xi Zhicai glanced at Zhang Han, and the top priority at the moment was indeed to pacify the Qingxu thief Kou first.
It's just that I can't imagine that this Zhang Han is so direct, isn't he worried? Those who don't know think it's the meaning of "mountain people have their own tricks".
Tsk, annoyed.
He was supposed to be my protégé.
……
Cao Cao knew that the strategy was suitable, and ordered his subordinates to attack and harass and chase after the Qingxu thief.
In Zhang Han's words, "the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight", with elite cavalry and light armored infantry with extremely fast foot range.
So thousands of soldiers and horses, plus Bao Xin's 5,000 elites, chased the Qingxu thieves, and they did not fight to the death, nor did they rush forward.
During the period, there is a degree of advance and retreat, keeping the thieves not losing and not entering the danger, for more than ten days, the competition is patience.
But once the Qingxu thief has a small group of people who have fallen behind, they will be immediately rounded up by the cavalry and forced to surrender.
In the past few days, the food of the thieves has long been unsustainable.
At this moment, Cao Cao seized the opportunity to personally lead the army, and Bao Xin led the troops to fight day and night, crushing the last breath of Qingxu Yellow Turban, and finally at the end of March, he began to surrender.
When the first thieves surrender, the rest of the leaders of the other tribes will panic, after all, the first person to surrender is like a pioneer, and the followers may not receive as good a favor as the previous ones.
At the beginning of April, these Qingxu thieves began to rush to surrender, and came across the border with their people, praying for surrender to Cao's army.
Cao Cao and Bao Xin, who continued to surrender, found that the number of these thieves plus the homeless people exceeded 800,000, and it was still increasing.
In the end, it reached a million.
Millions of people surrendered, of which 300,000 were soldiers of thieves, and if they were said to have committed great crimes, most of them were just homeless, blindly following to survive; If he said that he was not guilty, he killed Ren Chengxiang and Assassin Shi, it was a 2,000 stone and an 800 stone.
The 800 stones of the history of the thorn are not so simple, in the early years, the history of the thorn only had the right to supervise, but later most of the thorn history was also selected from the Taishou, and there was also the power of the army, and the government military system was passed down for a hundred years, so it allowed all parts of the country to have the potential to be self-reliant with soldiers, so it was naturally an important person.
Cao Cao and Bao Xin felt even more headaches.
However, if it is said that there are too many people at this time and do not want to surrender, maybe the damage to the reputation is just a small matter, and it is a big thing to have dissenting hearts and then mutiny.
When Cao Cao started his business that year, he suffered from the Danyang Mutiny and almost died on the road in the early days of his business, which was equivalent to being robbed when raising funds. It's one thing to have a bad taste, but it's a big deal to calculate that hidden dangers will explode at any time.
But characters like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don't like to be calculated behind their backs, so when they think about things, they will be more complicated, and they don't want to be guessed out.
April is the last month of spring farming.
When it was already a spring rain, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Han to be promoted as the main book, and rewarded him with ten gold as a reward, and gave him a selection quota of ten guards, and accompanied him.
A mansion was given in Juancheng to house his family, but now Zhang Han has no family members, so only the maidservants and domestic servants are in charge of him for the time being.
It was only at this moment that he really treated Zhang Han as a real strategist, the same as the rest of the strategists who personally invited him out of the mountain.
Juancheng Zhangfu, the newly hung sign hangs on the door, entering the courtyard is spacious and atmospheric, paved with stone slabs, Zhang Han is crouching on the threshold in the courtyard at this time, reading some of the geography sent by the drama and the strategy written by the unknown strategist.
At the same time, a panel of system reward records comes to mind.
[Meritorious advice, pacify millions of thieves, command +3, force +1]
[Command:72]
[Brawn: 83]
Force represents strength and basic martial arts, while command is the understanding of the art of war, the talent of leading troops, and the basic ability to lead troops on the march.
It's not anything to do with Wenji.
The improvement of intelligence can make it easier for him to read and study literature, and the internal affairs are specialized in internal governance, and now Zhang Han wants these more.
If you use force alone, when your strength is exhausted, you still have good intelligence, otherwise once you encounter something that has nothing to do with the "prophet" given by the convenience of crossing, and you need to really deal with intrigues, you may make a mistake.
I obviously offered advice as a counselor, but what I got was [force], but it doesn't matter, internal affairs are really important matters of civil governance, and if I can do a good job in Tuntian, I can definitely continue to improve.
"I don't want to go back and fight again."
"It's dangerous to think about," Zhang Han was able to survive the previous year, mainly because he didn't meet the regular army, and he had always followed Cao Jun to brush the remnants of the Yellow Turban.
At this time, Cao Cao had already walked into the courtyard gate, and the two guards outside the door didn't even have time to report, he had already strode in, dusty.
Cao Cao had just returned from the barracks, and he had almost done the work of collecting the remnants of the thieves, and he personally led the army to the mountains to sweep up the thieves.
Now back in Juancheng, I came to Zhang Han for the first time, looking forward to the Tuntian strategy that Zhang Han said before.
Cao Cao's side, followed by an elegant scribe, Xun Yu, who was not smiling, after picking up Cao Cao at the East City Gate, followed him all the way to see Zhang Han.
When we met again at this time, he also began to face Zhang Han, mainly because Cao Cao clearly said that Zhang Han had a method of resettlement in Tuntian, which could solve the current difficulties.
However, Xun Yu just smiled and said nothing, thinking that maybe Zhang Han didn't know that Qingxu had returned not only thieves, but also homeless people, a million people.
If you know that he still dares to boast about Haikou, then it is worthy of admiration.
But out of politeness, I decided to listen to it.
Sitting in the main hall, Zhang Han didn't have tea at home, so he could only serve some wine and food, and several people immediately discussed the current situation.
"Bo Chang speaks freely, if you have a plan, you don't have to hide it in your heart, if there is something difficult to say, you can ask me and Wen Ruo, and you have to make a decision today."
"Today?" Zhang Han raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect to be so resolute.
"Today."
Cao Cao took a sip of wine, and then his face was full of seriousness, and he listened attentively.
He wanted to listen to what was different about Tuntian from Zhang Han's mouth.
If not, then go back tomorrow and talk to Xun Yu deeply, if it is still inappropriate, then go and ask Zhang Miao to support the grain and grass military resources to resettle the displaced people.
Anyway, at this time, the situation is initially decided, and it is either solved by the brain, or by the face.
In short, we must settle down and gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou before we can compete for power.
