Chapter 5 Calculation

And in the world, it is natural that the Son of Heaven is the most expensive, or he can be called the emperor, which shows his dignity, of course, the life span of the Son of Heaven is limited, if he has not attained the Tao in the world, then he can only be the same as ordinary people.

Just when Yang Yi was thinking about something, the tent door was opened, and two people were brought in, one looked fierce and evil, and the other looked submissive.

However, it is the leader of the barbarians who is fierce and vicious, but the righteous and righteous, and the one who seems to be cowardly dares to trample on the law......

"The little one kowtows to the Venerable!" Although the leader of the barbarians looked very burly and vicious, he saluted very respectfully at this time.

"Well, give a seat!"

Yang Yi bowed slightly to the leader of the barbarians, then looked at the person who was trembling at this time, and asked:

“…… Hmph, I heard you guys are clamoring to run away? You can know that you have accepted the money and food, and since you have joined my family, you must be bound by my rules, but now, in wartime, you should use the law of soldiers, do you know that if you use the law of soldiers, I should be able to behead you! As soon as he saw this person, Yang Yi lost his good face, and immediately reprimanded coldly and angrily.

"Spare your life, spare your life! The Lord is merciful and merciful, sparing the lives of villains. This person is also a person who knows the times, and immediately kowtowed and said: "How dare the villain flee, but his mind is chaotic, he doesn't know where to go, and this is close to his hometown, so he did something wrong, and the Lord spared his life!" ”

As the companions of the family group, these people were all ransomed, and they were basically Yang Yi's slaves, and they could be disposed of by her at will.

This person's reason is nothing, but for a civilian, he doesn't have much knowledge, and he can talk to this extent, and Yang Yi snorted coldly and didn't speak.

The atmosphere in the camp tent suddenly froze, but this person just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy at this time, which surprised the people around him, when did this highness have such a deterrent?

The words of the superior are one or two, and almost no one obeys, not how powerful the words are, but that her words have this right, and let the people in front of her feel that she has this right, this is the name and the instrument.

After waiting for a while, I heard Yang Yiyi's lukewarm voice: "I heard you say that you are a local citizen, where is your home?" ”

"Enlighten the Lord, my home is on the two hills to the north, this is where my family was originally located, the villain also sees this, homesickness, the Lord spares his life!"

"That's a bonus!" Yang Yi thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Since you want to go back to the mountain, then go back to the mountain and take us with you, I have something to say to your family!" ”

"Huh?" This person suddenly opened his mouth wide, a little surprised, the elders in the clan can be called adults, and compared to people like him, they are naturally much stronger, but compared to the dignity of this princess, this three elders in the countryside is nothing.

"Let's go down, get ready, and we'll set off later!" Yang Yi waved his hand and asked him to go out, although this person was full of questions, he didn't dare to ask and retreated.

Inside the tent, there was silence for a moment.

“…… Your Excellency, do you really want to enter the mountain? After a while, the leader of the mountain people hesitated and asked.

"Not bad!" Yang Yi replied simply, and then asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

"My surname is Meng, and my name is Meng Ben."

As soon as he heard this name, Yang Yi understood a little, so he asked, "But is it born with divine power?" ”

"Superior Wisdom!"

The surname Meng is born with divine power, it seems that this person also has some origins, but Yang Yi didn't care too much, but this person is still very useful, but he needs to be encircled.

After a little promise, he asked this person to train the barbarian army, and Meng Ben also went as ordered.

At this time, Guan Yi came in, he was silent at first, and after a while, he asked again: "Your Highness, do you have any plans to enter the mountain with the mountain people?"

Although the previous defeat will indeed cause us a certain loss of troops, but now after the whole army, our people are not small, and there is no big problem in self-preservation, and a few days ago, some of us have already heard the news of the general, why don't we go to the general? The general is here, and we are naturally carefree......"

Yang Yixian didn't answer this question, she had been waiting for him to ask for this question for a long time, so she said: "It is true that the general is loyal to the country and is also a famous general in the world, but in the current situation, I think Guan Yi also understands that now our country has more than enough to defend the city, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult to counterattack." ”

"This ...... Your Highness, do you want to fight back? Guan Yi couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this time.

"Yes, the counterattack on Wei is naturally insufficient, but it is enough to counterattack our enemy, this time we are facing the enemy, there is only one division of soldiers and horses, and this is not complete, there are only hundreds of people, although they have a big victory this time, but the loss will not be small, besides, in this big victory, we must send some teams to reconnoiter and pursue everywhere, and its headquarters will be empty." Yang Yi thought about the previous art of war at this time, so he continued: "Of course, after the big victory, the enemy army will definitely increase its troops in the future, but it will take time, and now we only have two troops at most when facing the enemy!" ”

Seeing the people present, either listening intently, or opening his mouth wide, Yang Yi continued: "The current situation is very delicate, instead of rushing to join the general, but in the end it is still besieged by the enemy, it is better to find an opportunity to give the enemy a sudden blow, such an effect is far greater than a head-on confrontation, you must not be willing to serve the general as the general of the defeated army, right?" ”

The Han system, the generals and the prime ministers, are all super products of ten thousand households, and they have all kinds of privileges, and even in the country, they are more noble than the prince, let alone the princess.

"Your Highness, but even if the enemy army is scattered, there must be elite soldiers in the headquarters, and it is difficult for us to take down this little man." Guan Yi thought about it and spoke.

Meng Ben, who was called in to listen at this time, glanced at Guan Yi and said, "This General Guan is right, Your Excellency, even if we find the other party's position, we can't take it!" ”

"Yes, that's why I decided to go into the mountains with this mountain people." Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "This clan is hiding here, the family is probably not small, I thought that among the mountain people, there are at least hundreds of good shooters, if they can recruit, or at least drive for a short time, to make this blow, it is possible!" As for the destination, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own opinion! ”

Guan Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment at this time, raised his head, looked at Yang Yi, and said, "If your lord can recruit hundreds of mountain people, he can fight!" ”

"If you can recruit, you can fight, if you can't, at least now you can avoid the enemy!" Yang Yi smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's almost time now, go out immediately!" ”

The Han people are fierce, and observing the situation of this abandoned village, Yang Yi can predict that this mountain people will only be more and not less, and they are indeed a useful force, and she also knows very well that as long as she comes forward, it is difficult to convince anyone.

Things in the world are nothing but fame and fortune, Yang Yi can observe people's hearts, clearly perceive weaknesses, and use fame and fortune to move them.

Seeing that Yang Yi had made up his mind, and that he could indeed avoid the enemy, Guan Yi bowed and saluted: "No! ”

In the wee hours of the morning, there was a light breeze.

The dawn sun shines brightly on the field, and at this time, it was the time when the farmer came out of the field, but at this time, there was not even a ghost in the vast wilderness.

A small village in the distance, with no smoke at all, looks like a huge burial mound.

A gust of wind blew, and in addition to the sound of the wind, there was only the faint smell of blood that permeated the air.

The smell of death has been spreading in this area since a few days ago.

Wei attacked this time, but there was a killing intention, originally Wei was also morally degraded, at this time sent a team of cavalry, but also continued to harvest the heads of the Shu people, too many headless corpses in the field upside down, if it is not already in the early autumn, I am afraid that it will cause another plague.

The people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, those who could escape, and those who could not escape, as soon as it was dark, they found a corner as hidden as possible to endure.

Being caught is a dead end, and in a war, no matter which side wins, what it brings to ordinary people will always be a disaster.

This team of hundreds of people, under such circumstances, was quietly marching through the mountains.

The leader of the mountain people walking in front was the leader of the group, and the person at the front of the line was also talking to people.

"Zhang Jialang, do you really want to take us into the mountain?" A mountain man walked next to the man, he quietly looked left and right at this time, they were all barbarians, and his expression was quite jealous: "In case these barbarians enter the mountain to make trouble......

"When I enter the mountain, I will have my own adults to receive you, and besides, if there are nobles here, no one will make trouble, and my family will have a way to deal with other things." Regarding the possible danger, this Zhang Jialang didn't care much about it, and it was obvious that he was still convinced of the big man.

This noble man is the princess of the Han Dynasty, and the general is also the grandson of the legendary General Guan, but he has this credibility for him to trust, otherwise, he will die, and he will not bring danger home.

The group continued on their way, and at this hour, the path was quiet, and along the way, they did not encounter any enemy troops, but from time to time they would encounter one or two corpses that fell to the ground.

At this time, the sky had begun to lighten, and the surrounding scene became clearer and clearer.

A barbarian who had gone to the front to investigate the situation suddenly ran back: "Generals, there is a village in front of you, and there is an enemy searching. ”

"How many people?" Guan Yi waved his hand and asked.

"There are more than ten rides." The barbarian replied at this point.

Guan Yi knew what to expect, turned around and walked to the end of the team, and reported the situation to Yang Yi.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Do you continue on this path, or do you find a place to take a break? Guan Yi asked.

"Try to avoid them, is there any other way?" Yang Yi thought about it and asked Zhang Jialang, who was called.

"There's a road over there that leads to us, but it's not too easy to walk." That Zhang Jialang pointed to a mountain road next to him.

It is indeed tortuous, but there will not be many enemy troops to search for such a small road, after all, the cavalry has difficulty in the past: "Then take this road, march during the day, it is too dangerous to take the main road, I am afraid it will take us some time to cross the mountain to reach the cottage, it is better to be careful." Yang Yi said.

Guan Yi nodded, and then commanded Zhang Jialang to lead the way, and then entered the path, and the others followed.

It wasn't until I got to a hidden place that I started to rest, of course there was a system in the army, and they were a friendly team, Huang Hao would not deduct this, of course there was a lot of food supplies, although it was defeated this time, but there were still a lot of things to bring, at least the dry food was enough for another three days.

Now, everyone is having lunch in a valley, this mountain is not high, but the bank is cut and the wall is cut, and below is the endless weeds and jungles, in early autumn, before the leaves fall, among the weeds, there are some blooming wild flowers, such a beautiful view, but it makes people feel relieved.

Looking down at his feet, Yang Yi was thoughtful, after this has no strength, and then looks at the world and the world, the color is different.

At this time, in the seven or eight boiling pots, there was steaming water, dried beef, lamb loin, deer breast, and wheat cakes, and the food in this place was quite good at this time.

There were also vigilant soldiers and barbarians, all still wearing leather armor, and they were scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Beyond the mountains and forests, you can also see the endless land, which was originally a fertile land, but unfortunately it has become a wilderness due to years of war.

Not to mention, at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, due to the long-term war led to a sharp decline in the population, the population was only 13 million when the Han Dynasty was established, and after the recuperation of the early Han Dynasty, the population was about 36 million in the first year of Emperor Wu Yuanguang, and the population of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty successively rested and raised the people, and the population reached about 50 million in the last year of Emperor Xuan.

In the first two years of the Yuan Dynasty, the registered population of the Han Dynasty reached nearly 60 million people, and the cultivated land was 8270536 hectares, which was the largest of the times, and the outbreak of the Green Forest Uprising in the last years of Xinmang led to a sharp decline in population, and the population began to recover after the establishment of the Zhong Han Dynasty.

In the second year of Emperor Wu's reign, there were households and 4279634 in the country, and the mouth was 21007820; In the eighteenth year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty, there were households and 5860573 in the country, and the mouth was 34125021; In the second year of Emperor Zhang, there were households in the country 7456784, and his mouth was 43356367.

In the first year of Emperor Yuanxing, there were 9237112 households in the country, the mouth was 53256229, and the area of cultivated fields reached 7320170, which was the largest in the Zhonghan Dynasty, and there were 10677960 households in the country in the three years of Emperor Huan's Yongshou, and the mouth was 56476856, which was the peak population of the official statistics of the Zhonghan Dynasty.

However, considering that a large number of disciples, clans, guests, tribesmen, slaves and other groups of people who were occupied or sheltered by powerful landlords at that time, as well as most of the Xiongnu, Qiang, Di, and Baiyue who moved to the Han land, were not included in the household registration statistics, the peak population of the Zhong Han Dynasty may have reached the peak of more than 60 million.

By the time of the Ji and Han dynasties, the population of the whole country had reached the lowest point of the official statistics during the period of the Three Kingdoms. Wei: 5.04 million; Wu: 2.56 million; Shu: 1.28 million.

Considering the division of the Three Kingdoms and the frequent wars, the actual population should be more than 10 million, and even so, compared with the 50 million population of Zhonghan, the difference in this amount is quite staggering.

It is equivalent to more than half of the people in every household have passed away, and this war that has spread for a hundred years is not the most critical period, and the following hundreds of years, but it is even more critical.

If it is according to the original trajectory, such a tragic event, Yang Yi thinks that he is the Son of Heaven, how can he tolerate it, and he will start to change from here.
