From the world of martial arts

Chapter 188 Plan
"Young Master, the Yellow Turban camp has been captured. Except for a few Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped, there are still 35 Yellow Turban soldiers and civilians in the Yellow Turban camp."

"Sixty percent of them are elderly, weak, women and children"

When it comes to this, Gao Hu is a little dissatisfied. Sixty percent of the old and weak women and children are a burden. No wonder the Yellow Turban Army has no combat power. It seems that there are many people, tens of millions, or even millions.

As a result, more than half of them were old and weak women and children, without the slightest combat effectiveness, and had no time to consume food.

"35 people!"

"Not bad!"

Su Fan didn't care if these people were old and weak, women and children, even if they were, so what, these people could create wealth.

Old people have a wealth of experience. Women, especially strong women, are even worse than those who are not young. This era is not the era of castration in the Qing Dynasty in the later generations of the earth. Women have to bind their feet.

Especially in this world, because of the vitality of the heavens and the earth, as long as they have enough to eat, the strength of these strong women is no worse than that of adult men.

In the villages around Su Fan's military camp, you can often see many strong women farming in the fields.

Everyone can create value, just how much.

So Su Fan didn't care about these old and weak women and children. He also had enough food, so he didn't care if they would become a burden.

"Those soldiers, pull them over and examine them, pull out the most serious crimes, kill them all, and send the light ones to the mines to work for two years."

Su Fan not only has a compassionate heart, but also has the power to kill. He will never show mercy to those disasters in the army.

"Yes, son!"

Knowing the son's character for a long time, Gao Hu immediately agreed.

"As for the remaining soldiers who have no bad deeds, you can try to subdue a group, which can be considered as an expansion of the army. The morale of these people must be low, but at least they have been on the battlefield a few times and have seen blood."

"Go back and train more, train their morale back, and their combat power may increase a lot"

"Young master, you finally let us expand our army."

When Gao Hu heard this, his face brightened.

"Before you were not allowed to expand the army, it was because there were not enough manpower. There are more than 50 common people. If you want to directly recruit [-] soldiers, one out of ten, do you think it will last for a long time?"

Su Fan rolled his eyes. The army he needed was full of off-duty soldiers. According to this calculation, it was really militaristic.

Therefore, although there were [-] soldiers at that time, only [-] were completely off-duty, and the rest were nothing more than militiamen, who worked in the fields when they were busy, and came to train when they were free.

It is a reserve army.

However, some time ago, hundreds of thousands of people were recruited, so the original [-] reserve militiamen have officially become regular soldiers.

The amount of training may not be as much as 1 before, but it is much stronger than these Yellow Turbans.

Coupled with abundant weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.

It's a pity that they were not used at all in the previous night attack. The three hundred cavalry and three hundred personal guards defeated Peng Fei's army.

Afterwards, they can only see the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield.

After two battles, it can gradually become an elite army.

However, even 30 elite soldiers are still far from what Su Fan needs in the future. Even in the last Tang Dynasty, he had [-] elite soldiers.

What's more, this world needs at least hundreds of thousands of elites, which also requires more population.

Now including the Yellow Turban soldiers and civilians, his territory is only 150 million people, which is almost equivalent to the population base of some relatively large Shangxian counties.

Of course, in fact, these 150 million people are actually black households, because they are not under the official rule of the Shenhan Dynasty. Strictly speaking, they are similar to those Shanyue barbarians.

They are not around the official city, but around the wild mountains and rivers, and some are even in the mountains and forests, with wild beasts and spirits.

These priests in the mountains, they have psychic supernatural powers, they can drive spirit monsters and wild beasts, use various monsters as tentacles, and sacrifice these monsters, and even some mountain barbarians have the blood of monsters.

These mountain barbarians, especially in the south, there are many mountain barbarians, and they often threaten the government of those counties and counties.

From time to time, they will go down the mountain to loot.

Governments in various places have quite a headache for these mountain barbarians. The number of these mountain barbarians is not large, and the number is really not many. Compared with the people of Shenhan, it is really far behind.

However, tens of thousands of people go down the mountain every time, which is also very scary.

After all, these mountain barbarians, because of their blood, coupled with being in the mountains and rivers all year round, in terms of physical fitness, indeed surpassed the common people of Shenhan.

Just like the grass barbarians in the north, the physical fitness of those who grew up eating meat and those who grew up eating food are really incomparable.

Shenhan was able to hang and beat the barbarians in all directions. First, it was because the disciples of generals inherited from military strategists led the army, which could gather military spirit and amplify the combat effectiveness of the army.

Secondly, Shenhan has been equipping this part for a long time, crushing the barbarians in all directions.

Weapons have a considerable impact on the combat effectiveness of the army, and it will still be the same in the era of the end of the world.

However, Su Fan was not a barbarian. Although he opened up an idyllic place in the wilderness, he still obeyed the order.

It's just that he has not been recognized by the government now, but it doesn't mean that he will be like a barbarian who only knows how to plunder and destroy.

He is standing still now, accumulating strength, and the government and the Yellow Turban will not help each other.

He was waiting, waiting for news from Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, Tai Pingdao, the only person Su Fan was afraid of was Zhang Jiao.

Because Zhang Jiao's strength is too strong, one look from the other party can make him fall into a fantasy and cannot extricate himself.

Facing Zhang Jiao, Su Fan really had no chance to resist.

If he wants to choose to fight for world hegemony in the future, he must take the orthodox path, first planning a prefect and state shepherd from the imperial court, and of course at least a county magistrate.

Then slowly develop and accumulate strength, which is what he is best at.

Here in Donghai, he has already laid a good foundation, and if he really has to choose in the future, it may be Donghai County.

In fact, Xuzhou is not a very good choice. After all, in terms of wealth, he is not as good as Jizhou and Yuzhou.

On the size of the territory Jingzhou, Yangzhou.

Moreover, Xuzhou is still a place of the Four Wars. In the future, if the heroes really compete for hegemony, Xuzhou will be targeted by all parties.

It is quite difficult to develop slowly.

However, Su Fan also has his own plan. If the plan is good, he will first plan for the prefect of Donghai County, and then add the Gao clan.

You must know that the Gao clan is in Guangling, it may be better than the prefect's words. ,
Connect the two places, and then develop southward to capture Jiujiang and Wu counties. Once he captures the six counties in Jiangdong, he will have enough confidence, and Xuzhou is no longer a dangerous place, but a bridgehead for him to go out of the Central Plains up.
