Chapter 183 Dong Hu's Plan is a Conspiracy of the Huns
Dong Hu sneered disdainfully.
"Want to learn from us?"
"snort!"
Dong Hu snorted coldly and sighed again at the solemn and horrified generals.
"Because Zhang Xiu was arbitrarily killing the Khan, the Xiongnu tribes were extremely dissatisfied with Qiangqu. If we attack Qiangqu, others would definitely not be willing to rescue them, but they would definitely complain to the court!"
"We are not afraid of them complaining, but what choice will they make if the Xiongnu from the three Hetao counties see that the court cannot control us?"
"I will fight with us with all my might!"
"I will surrender to the Xianbei people and fight with us with all our might!"
"boom--"
The generals were startled, and they finally understood why Dong Hu said those words in front of a group of Huns. He said those words in order to make Meiji Shanyuting sit down and watch the Huns who occupied the three counties of Hetao defeated.
If the Huns had no way of retreat, they would definitely surrender to the Xianbei people, but Dong Hu did not block all the retreat routes of the Xiongnu who invaded the three counties of Hetao. When they had a way of retreat, some of the Huns would panic and flee into the northern desert and then join the Xianbei people, but most of them would definitely flee south to the Meiji Shanyu Court or run to Shangjun.
But once Dong Hu was allowed to occupy the three counties of Hetao, Dong Hu completely isolated the Huns from the Xianbei people. At this time, Qiangqu was also trapped in the resentment of the Huns of various tribes, and it was extremely difficult to annex and digest the people of various tribes!
Dong Hu stood up and looked at a group of generals...
"The people we have available seem to have 200,000 to 300,000 people. Not to mention the three counties of Hetao, it is even a Yanmen County. There are very few people. For us, whether it is the Meiji Xiongnu or the Danhanshan Xianbei, it is extremely dangerous to increase the number of people in any of them!"
"It's said it's 100,000, but we can only go to the three counties of Hetao, 50,000 young soldiers! This time, this general was personally led by the 5,000 Lintao Erlang, all of them were left to Hua Xiong, Dong Yao, you, let's take Dong Buyi from the elite to enter the three counties of Hetao from the elite."
"Huaxiong, I'll give you a month. Within one month, we will lead troops to the Qiangyin City. We will let Dong Chong and Xiao Yi lead five thousand cavalry to help you!"
Hua Xiong and Dong Yao clasped their fists solemnly.
"promise!"
Dong Hu looked at Yao Shan and a group of veterans.
"Uncle Yao Shan, you are a veteran. You can take care of our rear. We can be assured. However, the army is about to set off, and the three counties of Hetao are all on horseback. Please allocate 30,000 donkeys and mules."
Yao Shan said solemnly: "Don't worry, the farming has been over at this time, and you can prepare the donkey and mule needed for the soldiers within half a month."
Dong Hu nodded and said, "There are only so many things. Do you do whatever you should do. As long as the people in the country are law-abiding, no matter the 200,000 to 300,000 people we brought, or the others in Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Han people, or Hu people, as long as they are willing to abide by our rules, they will be treated fairly!"
"All taxes and other things will be temporarily cancelled, and for the last three years, you are generals, whether it is a county or a city, you should not mention salary or anything else. The army will farm and eat its own business, and leave all civil affairs to the Chief Envoy to do it, and do it with our rules in the Hehuang Valley."
"When we are in a difficult time, everyone must unite and work together. When we are truly developed and prosperous, it will not be too late to share wealth at that time! But if he still wants to snatch it into his pocket in a difficult time, that is not smart, that is seeking death! Our tiger kids are not such idiot brothers!"
All the generals lowered their bodies and clasped their fists.
"promise!"
...
Most of the 200,000 to 300,000 people were rebelled by the Yellow Turban Army, and there were young and strong people. Not only were the elderly, weak, women and children, but most of these people were captured by Dong Buyi from the countryside of Yuzhou. The total number was about 100,000, and there were tens of thousands of young and strong people among these 100,000 people. In Dingying and Quyang, the people captured by Dare to Fight and Fight to Captives were basically all young and strong.
Since the moment he was captured, Dong Hu had militarized all the prisoners. No matter how cold the weather was or how busy the farming was, a small daily training was not missing. Later college students would have undergone a big change after one month of military training. What's more, after half a year of training, they had fought and killed people. After half a year of military formation training, it was not much different from the time when leading two thousand mercenaries to the war. Of course, the Central Plains are different from Liangzhou, which is prone to chaos. Even if more than 100,000 Yellow Turban farmers who trained the military formation for half a year, the training of the military formation was similar to the mercenaries of that year, and the combat power of the two sides was also very different. The fighting skills were not practiced in one day or two days.
Two or three hundred thousand, both young and old, must undergo some militarization education. Everyone is divided into service and escort-serving soldiers. Whether in Hetao, Yanmen, or Dingxiang, they will face life and death every day. Even if Dong Hu does not take them to the border, even if he is in the Central Plains, Dong Hu will instinctively train them because he knows very well what dangers will be in the event of chaos in the world.
The Han Dynasty had a population of 50 million. When the Jin Dynasty unified the world, there were only 16 million people left. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the average number of people was only 1.2 million people left in each state. Moreover, this was the Shu Han Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. The Eastern Wu successively annexed some barbarian populations, and the number of people recovered in some cases before the unification was restored. When the three countries competed against each other, would 10 million people survive?
Dong Hu didn't know, but he knew that if you know a little bit more fighting with swords and guns, you would have a chance to save your life.
There are many people and great power, especially the hundreds of thousands of people under militarized management. Yanmen County has a lot of coal, and it is still easy to harvest coal in the open-air. However, it is impossible to burn bricks and stones in a short time to build a giant city with 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. For the time being, we can only use the method of building a military camp to build a dirt house inside with adobe. When arrows cannot shoot arrows, dig the outer moats around the periphery of the thatched huts, and build a hedgehog-like adobe brick defense arrow tower...
Each defensive camp has 20,000 people. If you want to attack the fortress-style camps stationed by 20,000 people, you need to attack at least 10,000 people. However, if more than 10,000 enemies have not taken Pingcheng to the north, Yinguan County, Loufan, Mayi, or Dingxiang County to the west, it is impossible for more than 10,000 enemies to penetrate into the heart of Yanmen County and attack the camps living in 20,000 people.
The 20,000 camp was not to deal with the large-scale Huns and Xianbei people, but to deal with the small-scale plundering of light cavalry. Dong Hu was not in the Hehuang Valley, where there were countless war horses in the Hehuang Valley. At this time, he only had tens of thousands of war horses and did not have enough cavalry. Once the Xiongnu, the Xianbei light cavalry came in, and if he was careless, he would suffer heavy losses.
Food is related to everyone's belly, camps are related to everyone's personal safety, swords and weapons practices, military battles are related to the glory and wealth of the generals, and the future fate of 200,000 to 300,000 people. Whether to survive with difficulty, or die tragically in the borders of the Han Dynasty or become slaves of foreign races, no one dares to be careless. No matter how difficult it is, everyone must grit their teeth and persevere.
