Chapter 65: The sinners are on the border, and the net worth is counted

After hearing Zhao Yun's request, Qin Wen groaned slightly, and immediately agreed: "Zilong is so kind-hearted, as the lord, how can there be any reason not to allow it, Qin Hu and Xu Huang are about to lead three thousand cavalry into the rescue of Yanmen Pass, Zilong, you should also accompany you!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Yunxi said. 【】

Qin Wen nodded when he saw this, Zhao Yun's words just now made him think of another important matter, so he turned his head and said to Xi Zhicai:

"Strategist, Zilong is right, most of the Yellow Turban Army are just people who can't survive, and they only joined the rebels after being coaxed by the Taiping Sect, in my opinion, the strategy for treating the Yellow Turban Army should be changed, if you can surrender or surrender, it's better not to kill too much."

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he thought that he knew that his lord's heart was soft again, so he persuaded with a wry smile: "Lord, if you do this, I'm afraid the court won't be able to explain it!" ”

Xi Zhicai naturally has no objection to the surrender of the Yellow Turban, Yanmen is vast and sparsely populated, and Xi Zhicai also hopes to fill the population of Yanmen with Yellow Turban captives, but the imperial court explicitly ordered the death of those who enter the Yellow Turban, and the grain and grass needed to surrender the Yellow Turban is a small burden for the current Yanmen Trap!

"It's okay, I believe the imperial court will understand the hardships of my Yanmen army!" A different color flashed in Qin Wen's eyes, and he said with some amusement.

"The Lord is benevolent!"

The reason why Qin Wen wanted to surrender the Yellow Turban was not that he was really soft-hearted, when he forced his third brother Qin Gong to death four years ago, Qin Wen's heart was already frozen, only in the face of his loved ones, he would show a trace of tenderness, everything he did had only one purpose, that is, to restore Qin.

The reason why these yellow turbans were to be surrendered was just to implement a strategy that had been discussed with Qin Hao a long time ago, and the name of this strategy was called: Criminals and Frontiers.

Four years ago, Qin Hao proposed to Qin Wen one of the nine strategies for recovering the country, one of the strategies was to take the state as the base, and when the world was in turmoil, whether to attack Hebei in the east or Guanzhong in the west depends on the specific situation.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this strategy, after all, for the Qin family at that time, merging states was the easiest and only possible territory.

No matter how poor the state is, there are millions of people, and it is indeed enough to raise 100,000 soldiers as the initial starting capital.

But Qin Hao ignored one point, that is, the four sides of the merger state, whether it is Yongzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou or Youzhou, whether it is wealth or population, all of them are much more than the merger state, and the war potential is far from being comparable to the merger state.

The Qin family can indeed train 100,000 elites, but if other states and counties are mobilized, there is no difficulty in recruiting more than 100,000 horses to defend the city.

It's okay to say in the field, after all, the Yanmen army is elite, but what if the enemy can't defend it?

Do you want the Yanmen army to waste its limited strength on siege?

In the final analysis, the current war potential of the state is too poor, and although the geographical location is excellent and easy to defend and difficult to attack, the population is insufficient, resulting in an embarrassing situation of more than enough self-preservation and insufficient progress.

At this time, the merger of states was not the merger of the state at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it was too difficult to take Li Yuan's route and take the merger of states as the foundation to seize the world, and there was only one way to achieve it, that is, every battle in the future must be won.

Qin Hao couldn't hope that he would win every battle in the future, and in order to increase the war potential of the annexed states, there was only one way, and that was to increase the population.

However, the speed of absorbing displaced people to expand the population was too slow, so Qin Hao later came up with a faster method, that is, the plan of "sinners and criminals".

What is a sin against the people?

Very simply, it is to exile all the guilty people to the state for the purpose of servitude, although the nominal criminals work and defend, but in fact it is a way to increase the population of the state!

This plan has not been implemented before, because Qin Wen has been waiting for an opportunity to rapidly increase the population, that is, the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Although the imperial court explicitly ordered the rebels to die, the number of people involved in the yellow scarves today is nearly 10 million, tens of millions, it is impossible to kill them all, right? Therefore, if the Yellow Turbans are finally pacified, they will definitely slaughter a small part and pardon a large part.

No matter how small this small part is, I'm afraid there are two or three million people, if so many people can be absorbed by the state, then the war potential of the state will definitely double, and the state will no longer have to worry about the population!

But how do you get these people?

The best reason is to fight on the border!

Who makes the state poor?

Who made the state less populated?

Who let the Xiongnu run rampant?

Who let the yellow turban anti-thieves have too many and have no place to place them!

This is also the biggest reason why Qin Wen has continued to show loyalty to the Han family and continue to curry favor with Liu Hong over the years, because if Qin Wen is not loyal and reliable enough, how can the Han family willingly hand over Bingzhou to the Qin family? How could they help the Qin family to come and merge the state?

The 100,000 Yellow Turban Army that is now acting for the army is no longer an army, but 100,000 strong men, and they are the people of the state in the future.

Although the imperial court also canceled the extermination order, the geographical location of Yanmen is special, and there are people in the court to help him, so Qin Wen is sure that even if he leaves the Yellow Turban prisoners, he will not be punished by the imperial court.

……………

After three days of waiting, the 11,000 defenders who had gone south to ambush Dongfang Sheng finally returned, but they brought back good news.

Dongfang Sheng 3,000 people were bait, and successfully dodged the ambush set by Qin Hao, but the ambush failed to do its best.

However, the 3,000 people who were used as bait did not escape, and the ambush still killed 1,000 enemies and captured 2,000, and Dongfang Sheng led the 3,000 remnants of the army to escape back to Changshan safely.

"Ding Dong, the battle of the Yin Pipe has ended, and it is being counted..."

"In the battle of Yin Guan, 1521 enemies were killed and 12,124 were taken prisoner (most of the 2,000 who escaped have been captured!). ), reward war points 22645, loss 985, deduct war points 985, so reward war points 21660. ”

"There are already 3340 war points, and there are currently 25000 war points, can I exchange them for summon points?"

Qin Hao didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Exchange!" ”

"The host has successfully exchanged 250 summon points, and there are already 200 summon points, and there are currently a total of 450 summon points."

After exchanging all the war points into summon points, Qin Hao suddenly thought that there were three ways to exchange them for summon points, namely war points, political performance points and prestige points, and he only used one war point to exchange them.

War points are earned through war, one point for killing an enemy soldier, one point for capturing a soldier, one point for each soldier recruited, and another point for training a soldier into an elite soldier.

GPA points are earned through the governance of internal affairs, and are summarized every six months, and the tax of the host territory is rewarded with 100 points for every percentage point increase compared with the previous six months, and 100 points for each percentage point increase in each grain harvest compared with the past.

Fame points are earned by completing prestige tasks through the influence of what they do.
