Chapter 653 The best time to capture Qingzhou, Yanzhou

Dong Hu didn't know about some of the incidents that occurred in the Yellow Turban Army in Luchang Mountain, Hanoi, and Qingzhou. He walked around the four counties in Hexi, mainly to walk around the Hanmin villages, and focused on checking the culture and education of each county. If Liangzhou wants to be stable and unconfused, force deterrence is only one aspect, and the most important thing is ideological education.

Dong Hu has always attached great importance to cultural education. This is the case in the annual assessment of officials and generals, and it is an extremely important assessment.

If the literacy rate of soldiers is low, generals at all levels must take responsibility; if the literacy rate of people is low, officials must take time every month to go to the school to serve as teachers. If the results are good, if he pays attention, the people below will pretend to be lazy, they will pretend to deal with it.

Liangzhou lacks teaching men and many people are being scolded. It was not until the twelfth month of winter that he regarded himself as the north of Yanze and went to the northern moorland grassland. When entering Yanran Mountain, Hetao General Xing Yong sent a letter about the Black Mountain Army in Lucai Mountain, the recent situation of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and Dong Zhuo was also angry and dissatisfied with Daya's unauthorized expulsion of Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Lu Bu in Hanoi.

Dong Chi, who was holding a fat boy, couldn't help but smack his lips and grinned his teeth when he saw that he was a little curious about the content of the letter.

"It's winter now, so there shouldn't be anything big in the Central Plains?"

Dong Hu sighed, hugged the fat boy from his arms, and threw the letter into his arms, squirting heavily on the reluctant boy's face.

"I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the eldest son kicked Lu Bu out of Chang'an with his life. The eldest boy actually threw him back. I'm afraid the weather will change again..."

"ah?"

Dong Chi was shocked and hurriedly looked through the letters, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

"Sister Da Ya doesn't seem to have done anything wrong? Then Lu Bu slaughtered all the Heishan Army in Lucao Mountain. If we don't drive out the bastard Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Lu Bu, once the Heishan Army fights our army, Bingzhou will be in danger."

"Well, you are right. The Heishan army lives in Taihang Mountains, and not only can only enter Taiyuan County from Fukou Xing, Jingxing. It is not surprising that they appear from anywhere. Taiyuan County is relatively empty. Once they get into evil with the Heishan army, it will be extremely unfavorable to the stability of Taiyuan County."

Dong Hu said undeniably: "The reason is that, but you should also see that more than 100,000 people blocked by the Jizhou army in Dongjun have actually become a dead army. Even if Da Ya does not enter Hanoi County, ten thousand cavalry will be enough to capture all the more than 100,000 people exposed to the wild."

"We captured Yu Du, Zhang Rao, and Guan Gu, and gave him the person to Zhang Yan and asked Pei Yuanshao to explain it. We don't think it can't be explained clearly."

Dong Chi thought about it for a while, but finally nodded and agreed. What Dong Buyi needed was more than 100,000 refugees, not soldiers from the Heishan Army headquarters. He captured the soldiers from the Heishan Army headquarters in Lucai Mountain and returned all the bandits who occupied the mountain to Zhang Yan, and the misunderstanding could be resolved by 70% or 80%.

More than 100,000 refugees were placed in Dong Hu, which was money, food, soldiers, and wealth. But if they were placed in the hands of the Black Mountain Army, it was a burden, an unbearable burden, because the Black Mountain Army had no territory to recuperate.

The Black Mountain Army is hidden in the mountains. It is difficult for anyone to lead the troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. But if you run to the plain, it will be much easier to encircle and suppress the enemy. The burden is lighter, so you can hide in the mountains for a long time without coming out. But if there are 100,000 or 200,000 mouths, how can you continue to hide in the mountains? It seems that there are too many people, but in fact, Yu Du, Zhang Luo and others are placed in an extremely dangerous situation.

Dong Hu took over the burden of the Black Mountain Army, and the direct troops of Yu Du, Zhang Rao, Guan Gu and others were sent to Zhang Yan. Not only did Zhang Yan's strength increase greatly, but he also did not increase much burden. What other misunderstandings cannot be explained?

Dong Hu did not think he had to expel Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Lu Bu, but he could also see that Lu Bu was a bad mouse shit. The Heishan Army was hidden in the Taihang Mountains, Baixing, Fukou Xing, and Jingxing, all occupied by Heishan Army. Luchang Mountain actually belonged to the Baixing Heishan Army, but it was also the weakest Heishan Army. Because the Baixing Heishan Army did not have arable land for rest and recuperation, and although the other two were hidden in the mountains, they occupied a lot of hills that could reclaim fields.

He had contact with the Montenegro Army several years ago, so he naturally knew something about this.

The Black Mountain Army in Luchang Mountain is in Hanoi. As long as it is not looting locally, Dong Hu will not care about how they will cause trouble to Jizhou and Yanzhou. I believe Dong Zhuo is more willing to Yuan Shao and Liu Dai is defeated, but Lu Bu ruined Dong Zhuo, a chess piece of Dong Hu. What is Lu Bu's bad mouse shit?

Dong Hu was not sure if Da Ya was just simply cleaning up Lu Bu's rat shit, or had another purpose...

"What Sister Da Ya did is not wrong. The Grand Master has almost done a disaster in Guanzhong. If it continues, it may not be a good thing."

Dong Chi was the former leader of the scout camp and was more sensitive to some dark things. Perhaps Daya had explained some things to him in private. Just seeing Dong Hu's reaction, he roughly guessed some clues.

Dong Hu was silent for a few breaths, and finally nodded in agreement with Dong Chi's point of view.

"You are right. Guanzhong has no trouble for one or two years. It is indeed not appropriate to be turbulent for too long. We have no objection to Da Ya's handling, nor do we care whether our uncle is angry or not. We just feel a little bit embarrassing about the impermanence of the world."

Dong Chi knew about his brotherhood with Dong Mao, and perhaps that was why he was willing to follow him until death. I believe that the brothers and sisters who grew up together since childhood are the same...

"Let's not mention the uncle's affairs. One hundred thousand Han people cannot be sent to the Mobei grassland at once. They can be sent to Pingcheng in the next year and let the people familiarize themselves with the grazing life. They will come to Yanran Mountain while grazing in the next year, but you must be prepared."

Dong Chi smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, brothers, build a city here next year, and you will never let your own people suffer grievances."

The grassland is too big, but it is extremely empty, and more people are urgently needed to enrich the border area. Dong Chi also attached great importance to this. He looked down at the letter again. When he saw a large number of Yellow Turban troops appeared in Qingzhou, he hesitated.

"Twenty-hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops emerged in Qingzhou. Why don't we arrest these people too?"

Dong Hu was stunned and couldn't help laughing again.

"You really think that's 200,000? That's a million people!"

"Millions of people? How many people are there in Qingzhou? How is this possible?" Dong Chi looked unbelievable.

Dong Hu nodded silently and said, "There are four million people in the six counties of Qingzhou. The million Qingzhou troops are indeed unbelievable, but you must know that refugees are not bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings. Refugees are hungry people who have to leave their hometowns to beg for the sake of their homes. The only difference is that ordinary refugees just beg everywhere and there will be no large robbery or smashing. But if they are refugees with the Yellow Turban Army as the core, it will be different. They will plunder everything where they pass. Once the people's food is plundered, they will have to become refugees. They have to follow the looting of other places, and will grow bigger and bigger like snowballs!"

"So, today is 200,000, and next year it will become one million. Next year, before the summer of the year after, it is also the best time for us to seize Yan and Qing, because the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army cannot make a bloody road from Jizhou, so we can only be forced to go south and enter Yanzhou."

"The millions of Yellow Turban Army entered Yanzhou. It is extremely difficult to kill them based on the current strength of Yanzhou. Unless Yanzhou can take out money and grain to support millions of hungry people and use the method of surrender, Yanzhou will be full of holes. At this time, as long as we fight from behind, we only need 30,000 to 50,000 troops to kill all the princes in Yanzhou."

After hearing what he said, Dong Chi became solemn.

"Brother, is it the best time to win Qingyan next year?"

"Um."

The fat boy in his arms was a little impatient, and Dong Hu had to hold him and walk back and forth in the big tent, recalling the previous life of Cao Cao's founding in the Qingzhou Army in "Three Kingdoms" that he knew...

"Even if this year has passed, judging from the news sent by Xing Yong, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army must have wanted to enter Jizhou, but this is very difficult... Of course, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is not without shrewd people. They entered Jizhou in winter. Although the weather is severe and cold is not conducive to combat, it also created great difficulties for Jizhou to transfer troops on a large scale to block the attack..."

"But this is not the key. The key is that the rolling 200,000 to 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was not really young and strong. This is very different from the Yellow Turban Army in the first year of Zhongping. When the Zhang Jiao brothers planned to rebel, there were many core young and strong. Now, the maximum number of 200,000 to 300,000 can only be 40,000 to 50,000, and the core combat power is only 20,000..."

"Maybe even 20,000 is more. If the Yellow Turban Army had so much core combat power, Qingzhou Governor Jiao He and Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong were so angry that he was so qualified to go to Xuanzao County to besiege Luoyang?"

Dong Hu knew the truth and even without careful analysis, he knew that the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was defeated by Gongsun Zan.

"The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou cannot get a bargain in Jizhou. Once defeated, it will retreat back to Qingzhou. After they are defeated, they will definitely lose most of their money, grain and supplies. In order to survive, they will plunder more and more like loots. Wherever they go, they will be ruined. People who have no food will instinctively follow the refugees to seek survival, and will roll bigger and bigger like snowballs."

"The snowball is getting bigger and bigger, the refugees' stomachs will be like bottomless pits, forcing countless refugees to rush into Yanzhou, and the number will reach one million."

Dong Hu said solemnly: "The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was frustrated in Jizhou. It is not scary to loot in Qingzhou. What is scary is that they began to rebel during the farming season!"

Dong Hu pointed to the letter from Dong Chi and said, "The only news sent by Xing Yong was the prefect of Taishan County Ying Shao defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Based on the time when the news was passed, it is probably possible to judge that the Yellow Turban Army had rebelled in August...even earlier. At this time, a large-scale rebellion can obtain some autumn grain, but it will affect the cultivation of winter wheat in the people and the summer grain for the coming year."

"Once it is defeated by Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou will have to retreat to Qingzhou to continue looting, but this is only one of the reasons for the rapid increase in refugees, which will affect the cultivation of winter wheat. This means that the people will have no food to eat during the next year to autumn grain. If the turmoil continues, Qingzhou will be famine within one or two years, which will inevitably further aggravate the surge in the number of refugees."

"From the point of time, once the Yellow Turban Army is frustrated in Jizhou and forced to retreat back to Qingzhou, millions of refugees should enter Yanzhou in April and May, because this is the season when wheat is about to mature. Millions of hungry people can take the opportunity to harvest the wheat planted in Yanzhou and obtain some food and supplies. If Yanzhou cannot defeat the millions of Yellow Turban Army before the wheat is harvested, one is the millions of Yellow Turban Army entering the country to grab grain, and the other is the people of Yanzhou panic and dare not go out of the city to collect grain, so the wheat will be destroyed in the ground. Yanzhou will inevitably have a famine in the next year!"

"Qingzhou famine, Yanzhou famine, after Yanzhou defeated millions of Yellow Turban troops, should we kill or surrender?"

"Once the surrender is surrendered, where does the food come from?"

"Only large families have food."
