Chapter 202 The Yanmen Army with Soaring Strength
Chapter 201: The Yanmen Army with Soaring Strength
If the Yellow Turbans wanted to attack Luoyang, they would attack from four directions: east, southeast, south, and north.

In the east of Luoyang, there are Hulao Pass and Dagu Pass; in the north there are Mengjin Pass and Xiaopingjin; in the southeast there is Luyuan Pass, and in the south there is Guangcheng Pass.

The Yellow Turban Army will definitely choose one of the four directions as the main attack direction. Once they attack Luoyang City, the remaining six passes will be useless.

But no matter which direction the Yellow Turbans attacked Luoyang, they had to conquer at least two great passes before they could reach Luoyang.

Judging from Zhang Jiao's placement of the base camp in Chenliu and the emptying of all the defense facilities in front of Hulao Pass, the Yellow Turbans' main attack direction must be the front line of Hulao Pass.

But no matter which route the Yellow Turbans choose, they must capture two successive passes, and the other three routes are no less difficult than Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass is the first pass in Heluo, and its defense is the highest among the eight passes in Luoyang, but even so, Zhang Jiao naturally chose Hulao Pass because the route for the grain and forage trucks will be shorter when entering Sili, so it is also more convenient. convenient.

After Hulao Pass, there is Dagu Pass. Although Dagu Pass is extremely dangerous, it was newly built not long ago. Since the construction time of the pass is shorter than that of the sedan, the defense power is naturally inferior to that of Hulao Pass.

On the surface, it seems that Daguguan is the last line of defense in Luoyang, but everyone knows that once Hulaoguan falls, it is only a matter of time before Daguguan falls.

Therefore, all the hopes of the Han family are now concentrated on Hulao Pass. The imperial court dispatched all its military forces to Luoyang, hoping to defeat the Yellow Turbans under this magnificent pass.

The Yellow Turbans are also sharpening their knives, preparing to conquer this thousand-year-old gate in one fell swoop, thereby destroying the big man and establishing the Yellow Turban Heaven!

One strong attack, one defending, one can imagine that Hulao will become a huge war meat grinder soon after being locked up!
……

Five months passed in a flash.

During these five months, both the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans were in the midst of intense war mobilization, and countless supplies were transported to the frontier positions.

As for the Yanmen Army, in the past five months, it was completely in a state of nirvana and rebirth, and its strength increased wildly.

All the institutions in Yanmen are in a state of overloaded operation, and all officials in Yanmen, including the lord Qin Wen, have little time to rest.

Expanding the army, repairing customs, immigrating, building houses, dividing fields, reclaiming wasteland, sowing, purchasing grain...

In a word, busy, really busy!
On average, there are nearly [-] refugees every day. They are guided along the way to Yanmen, and after staying in Yanmen for a period of time, they will be assigned to move to the three counties to settle down.

Gradually, the development speed of Wang Meng and Fan Zhongyan in the three counties could not even keep up with the migration speed of the refugees, resulting in a situation of overcrowded Yanmen.

Qin Wen saw that this happened, so he ordered to suspend the construction of Yanmen Pass, and asked an army of 20 to escort nearly [-] Yellow Turban captives to the three counties as labor.

With the participation of this part of the labor force, the abnormal development of the four counties in the north is moving towards the fastest and most benign direction.

With the sudden drop in temperature, the difficulty of immigration work in Yanmen has also increased a lot. In this regard, Qin Wen had to send people on all roads to Bingbei, and set up porridge shacks along the road. People starved to death on the road.

In this case, the consumption of grain has also increased a lot, and most of the Qin family's secret grain depot in Yanmen has also been consumed, but Qin Wen is not distressed at all.

Although food is a hard material in a chaotic world, if it can be transformed into a foundation, it is worthwhile to consume more food, because fighting for hegemony in a chaotic world is the kingly way.

Moreover, although the price of food has skyrocketed, it is still possible to buy food at a certain price. As the five major business families of Dahan, the Qin family has no shortage of funds, so a large amount of working capital is used for food purchases.

Jia Yu arranged for several people to go to various states to buy grain in advance, and among them, Shen Wansan had the best performance this way, and bought the most grain and grass from Yizhou at the lowest average price.

Jia Yu saw that Shen Wansan was gifted in business, so he attacked promotion and reuse, and handed over the soap factory project to Shen Wansan.

As for the glass factory, because of the huge profits, Jia Yu decided to take charge personally, and this became the biggest business mistake in Jia Yu's life.

Although glass is highly profitable, it can only be circulated among noble families. Although soap is cheap, it is an indispensable item in life. If it is popularized all over the world, the profit is unimaginable.

The immigration work in the four counties of Bingbei is proceeding in an orderly manner, and in the fourth month of the migration, the number of refugees in the four counties of Bingbei finally dropped.

Most of the refugees who are willing to come to Bingzhou have already come, and the rest either dislike Bingzhou's difficult conditions, or they dislike that the road is too long, and they are afraid that they will die on the road if they don't get there.

But even so, there are still thousands of refugees arriving at Yanmen every day, and Yanmen accepts all these people, and does not let any of them go.

During the five-month long migration, more than 110 million refugees and more than 30 Yellow Turban prisoners of war were accepted in the land of the four northern counties, with a total population of more than 140 million.

In addition to the population of more than 40 in Yanmen itself and the population of more than 200 in the three counties of North and Central, there are now nearly 30 million Han Chinese in the four counties of Bingbei and nearly [-] Hu people.

The resettlement of 140 million people is also a big problem. Considering the acceptance capacity of the four counties, 30 refugees and 40 Yellow Turban captives were eventually resettled. A total of 80 people were resettled in Yanmen, and the remaining 20 refugees and 100 Yellow Turban prisoners , a total of [-] million people were resettled in the three counties of North and Central.

Since then, the population of the four counties of Bingbei has far exceeded that of the five counties of Bingnan, but the economic level and living standard are far behind. However, under the governance of Qin Wen and Qin Wen, it is only a matter of time before they surpass.

After the population surge, it is natural to welcome the expansion of the army, and the expansion and immigration of the Yanmen Army are carried out at the same time. After all, the war will start in five months, and a little training time cannot be wasted.

Qin Wen had been busy with government affairs and had no time to escape, so he entrusted Qin Hao with full military power. Qin Hao originally wanted to transfer Wang Meng back from the three counties to help him handle military expansion.

But the three counties had more affairs to deal with. Without either Wang Meng or Fan Zhongyan, the three counties would be in chaos. In the end, Qin Hao could only handle the expansion of the army by himself.

This time, the Yanmen Army soldiers will be expanded to [-], including [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] declared to the court.

There is no pressure on the Yanmen Army to support 200 troops with [-] million people and [-] civilians to support one soldier, and they can afford to support twice as many.
