Chapter 130 Ask
Yang Qiu doesn't have many deeds in history books, but one thing is certain, he is a pure man of daily life.

He was born in Linjing County. After the uprising, he stayed in his hometown and did not move much. At most, he occupied several large Han counties nearby and lived his own life behind closed doors.

When he really became successful, he had to wait until after the Li and Guo Rebellion, Guanzhong fell into turmoil, and Xiliang warlords occupied the west of Chang'an, known as the "Ten Divisions of Guanzhong", before Yang Qiu took advantage of the momentum to expand his territory.

Later, when Cao Cao used the road to attack Hanzhong, these small warlords were afraid of being beaten and killed, so they elected Ma Chao as the leader of the alliance and formed an allied force to fight against Cao Cao. This was the so-called Battle of the Weishui River.

Now that Guanzhong is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Yang Qiu has done nothing.

After all, Anding County is really not a good place for expansion.

To the north is the even more barren Beidi County, to the west is the big boss Ma Teng, and to the southeast is Guanzhong where the imperial court is located. Yang Qiu, a rural warlord, can't afford to offend any of them. He might as well just sit back and relax in his hometown.

When he heard that a Qiang armed force of about a thousand people suddenly appeared in the valley to the west, he didn't take it seriously, and even thought they were coming to defect to him.

"Kong Gui!" he called to his most proud younger brother, "show me where they are from."

Kong Gui was from Hanyang County, but he had a good eye for camping. Seeing that the horse was so powerful that he could not catch up with him, he ran to the neighboring Anding County to join Yang Qiu. In addition, he was very good at courting horses and soon became Yang Qiu's favorite. minister.

After all, for Yang Qiu, a living person who lives in his hometown every day, having someone who can make him laugh is better than anything else.

Kong Gui is a talented person and he speaks nicely.
"Yes!" After hearing this, Kong Gui immediately knelt on the ground, "When I go down here, I will make those Qiang people subdued and know that Ming Gong knows people well and is magnanimous!"

Not only did he ask for help happily, but he also praised himself and complimented Yang Qiu's vision. The so-called three compliments in one sentence, the emotional intelligence aspect is really full.

Yang Qiu felt relieved after hearing this. He was indeed the person who was loved by Cao Cao in history.

"Go ahead. If the Qiang people are really here to surrender, it's okay to reward them with some iron tools," Yang Qiu said boredly.

It's not that he doesn't want to expand into the areas where the Qiang people live, but that these people live too far away, and the gain outweighs the losses by sending troops. But if there are people like this who defect to the establishment, he is willing to accept them.

At present, Liangzhou's population is declining, and people are rushing to Guanzhong and Hanzhong. This is not good news. Having a population is better than anything else.

"No!" Kong Gui set off towards the northwest with confidence.

Xu Jiashu is riding a Liangzhou horse, and behind him are Chao Ma Han, Lu Lingqi and Gan Ning.

This was the first serious expedition since the founding of the army. It was false to say that he was not worried, but it was actually more of a kind of excitement.

Yang Qiu.

In my impression, he is just a minion who cannot be replaced. If we look at the general's strength alone, he probably cannot stand up to the level of three people facing each other.

But that's not how things work out. It's not like playing a game. If you propose a one-on-one challenge, "Accept or Accept" will appear on the other person's head, and then the match will be successful immediately, and the two will start fighting instantly.

In a real war, fighting between generals is a very small probability event. It still depends on who has more soldiers and good operations.

And Yang Qiu's military strength is basically on the surface.

Linjing, Pengyang, Jingyang, and Yinpan, these four counties in the southeast are connected together, basically covering the most densely populated and economically developed areas in Anding County, with a population of close to [-].

Estimating the maximum soldier-to-peasant ratio of ten to one, Yang Qiu could theoretically draw out 1 troops by devoting his troops at all costs.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

Extreme violence is similar to the method of dismantling demons. Without Zhuge Liang's abnormal governance ability, using it once will greatly ruin the livelihood of the people in the territory. What's more, it is before the autumn harvest, and the militiamen who were forcibly recruited are thinking about their own crops. Are you in the mood to work hard for the old man?
If you shoot two arrows into the sky with your eyes closed, you will be worthy of the military salary given by Marshal Yang!

Therefore, the military force that Yang Qiu relies on to settle down is the two thousand troops in Linjing County. They are all treated as private soldiers, and their composition is also very "direct lineage". They are all Yang Qiu's relatives and local soldiers in Linjing, and they are both proud and prosperous. , one loss and all loss.This is also the norm in troubled times - after military power is decentralized, the original wealthy families recruit a few cronies to support a backbone force, supplemented by cannon fodder that can be used at any time.

In this way, only a very small number of elite soldiers are needed to control a huge territory and army, and the requirements for the leader's personal abilities are extremely low, and there are no requirements for the level of political power construction. It is basically an entry-level civilian game, and it has been used until modern times. There are examples of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army.

In contrast, the advantages of the landlord-oriented professional soldiers under Xu Jiashu became apparent.

Unless Yang Qiu comes out in full force with his direct lineage, there will be no other force in Anding County that can compete with him head-on.

"Xingba, Lingqi," Xu Jiashu turned around and asked the two of them, "How would you fight this battle if it were you?"

Speaking of which, because of the large amount of commanding experience given by the system, among the three of them, Xu Jiashu, the general, had the most experience in commanding troops.

Therefore, this question actually means more to test and understand. Xu Jiashu wanted to know what style the two people he relied on most would play in fighting.

"I will only bring the elite of my Jinfan army, and I can kill the generals and cut the flags in one fell swoop!" Gan Ning did not make a long speech.

Xu Jiashu nodded.

It is in line with Gan Xingba's simple and crude style - personally commanding elites, raiding the opponent's core command center, directly destroying the enemy's organizational system, thereby causing a total collapse.

If this tactic of using force to defeat the enemy is successful, there will be little difference between the large number of people and the small number of people.

Speaking of historical battle examples, it is King Li Shimin of Qin and his Xuanjia Army.

"Where's Lingqi?" Xu Jiashu turned around and asked.

At some point, the relationship between the two of them was already on a first-name basis.
"I don't like this kind of thing," Lu Lingqi frowned and replied, "It would be great if we could lure them out, and then slowly tire them out, so the casualties would be smaller."

Miss Lu did not like close combat assaults like her father, but instead had a pure Bingzhou riding and shooting style.

She prefers to stride forward and retreat in a vast combat area, with me as the main force, using the advantage of mobility to lure the enemy deep, and then use various methods to tire out the enemy, and finally divide and encircle them.

Xu Jiashu rubbed his chin and thought for a while. It seemed that Miss Lu used this trick to find a traitor in the simulation.

In this way, the tempers of the two generals under his command can be understood initially.

When the troops marched to Pengyang, Kong Gui asked to see him.

"Kong Gui?"

Xu Jiashu had never heard of this name, but he still asked everyone to retreat first.

"Your name is Kong Gui?" Xu Jiashu asked in Qiang language.

Kong Gui was obviously stunned when he heard the Qiang language.

"Are you a Qiang person?", he quickly replied in Qiang language: "But the banner with the character Liu is clearly flying outside."

"We know that all the wealthy Han people outside are surnamed Liu," Xu Jiashu forced out a simple smile, "so we specially found someone to customize this banner. Is it reasonable?"

Kong Gui nodded sternly without realizing it.

"Of course we are Qiang people," Xu Jiashu put his hand on his shoulders and introduced enthusiastically, "I will take you to the Erlangs' camp!"
