Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 178: Offenders start guarding the border

Chapter 177: Offenders start border defense

Ever since Huangfu Song massacred Yellow Turban prisoners of war in Jizhou, which in turn aroused strong resistance from the Yellow Turbans, the imperial court has made it clear that massacres of Yellow Turban prisoners are not allowed indiscriminately.

Of course this order was issued not long ago, and the people who received the order were generals who were leading the army independently, so most of the Yellow Turbans didn't know about it and still hated the Han Dynasty.

 After hearing Li Dingguo's request, Qin Wen was very surprised. He obviously did not expect that Li Dingguo would make such a request.

These Yellow Turban prisoners are in Qin Wen's heart, but they are the future population and important labor force of Yanmen, so how can they be killed?

Moreover, the reason why the Han army slaughtered the captives was because these prisoners would consume their own military rations, and Yanmen did not lack this food, so there was no need to massacre them.

“This one is already accepted, let’s talk about the next one!” Qin Wen looked into Li Dingguo’s eyes and said seriously.

Seeing that Qin Wen didn't look hypocritical, Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qin Wen would be like Huangfu Song. He would rather die than surrender to a butcher. But now it seems that even if he doesn't say anything, Qin Wen will Wen probably wouldn't do this either.

“I don’t want to fight against my former compatriots, so I hope Lord Qin can allow me not to participate in the battle with the Yellow Turbans!”

If Li Dingguo's talents were used to quell the chaos, he would definitely shine, but if he didn't want to, Qin Wen couldn't force him.

Qin Hao sighed secretly in his heart, but he admired Li Dingguo even more in his heart.

This son is not only good at both civil and military skills, but his conduct is also upright. He is a great talent!

“Okay, I promise you, you will stay at Yanmen Pass until the Yellow Turban Rebellion is completely suppressed!”

 “Li Dingguo pays homage to the lord!”

"Okay." Qin Wen nodded with satisfaction, smiled and helped Li Dingguo up, and said: "Get up quickly, we are all a family from now on, there is no need to be so polite!"

 “report…”

At this moment, a messenger broke in and shouted: "Your lord, a letter from Guangwu."

When the generals heard the news from Guangwu, their nerves became tense.

The battle at Yanmen Pass is related to the foundation of the Yanmen Army. It is so important that everyone cannot ignore it.

Qin Wen took the letter with anxiety, fearing that he would see a hint of bad news, but he looked at his mouth opening wider and wider, as if he had seen a ghost.

"How is this possible?" Qin Wen said in disbelief, not realizing that his abnormal behavior had made everyone present feel their hearts sink to the bottom.

 Has Yanmen Pass been lost? The generals thought secretly in their hearts.

"Brother." Qin Jian swallowed and asked with difficulty, "Isn't it bad news?"

"Fourth brother, why do you think so?" Qin Wen gave his younger brother a different look: "Yanmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are Hao'er, Hu'er, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others here, what bad news can there be? !”

“It scared me to death.” Qin Hu breathed a sigh of relief: “So it’s good news?”

“Of course it’s good news, and it’s great news!” Qin Wen laughed.

 Great news? Did the Huns retreat? All the generals thought this in their hearts.

“Brother, stop being so secretive and tell me quickly?” Qin Jian asked urgently.

 “See for yourself!”

 Qin Wen directly threw the battle report to Qin Hu, then sat down and took a deep breath.

The news was so surprising that Qin Wen had to calm down his excitement even if he was determined.

"Father, Commander-in-Chief, my son Qin Hao was lucky enough to defeat the Xiongnu, annihilating 180,000 invading enemies, and beheading the Xiongnu Chanyu at Fuluo..." Qin Jian read word by word, and his voice became louder and louder. The expressions are even more exciting, and the generals also have expressions of disbelief.

 Li Dingguo's heart has also stirred up huge waves. He has always heard that Qin Jiazhong's pupils are outstanding in literary talent and wrote many famous works. He did not expect that he could be so powerful in fighting.

Culture and military are not enough to describe the young Lord, the young master is simply a civil and military double! Li Dingguo thought to himself.

"Congratulations, my lord. Congratulations, my lord. This time, my lord, I set fire to Yanmen Pass, set up an ambush at Donglongkou, and killed Yu Fuluo with my sword. I completely annihilated the main force of the Huns. It will be difficult for the Huns to invade the territory again in the next twenty years." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Young Master. He is already the first person after Wei Huo to achieve this unparalleled feat at the age of fourteen. Soon, the young master’s name will be spread all over the world!”

Qin Wen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. While he was happy, he also felt a little complicated.

Since Qin Wen took control of Yanmen, he fought with the Xiongnu for four full years, but in the end he did not gain as much as his son in the first battle, which made Qin Wen's proud heart slightly frustrated.

But Qin Wen soon figured out that his son was born extraordinary and too dazzling. Qin Wen had long been used to it. Anyway, everything he did was just paving the way for his son, so why bother? Do you want to be jealous of your son?

"Hao'er's letter mentioned that the reason why we were able to achieve a great victory this time was because of the help of a great talent, and you also know this great military advisor." Qin Wen looked at Xi Zhicai with bright eyes and said calmly smiled.

As soon as Xi Zhicai heard this, all the doubts in his heart were immediately cleared.

Wang Jinglue, Wang Jinglue, you finally can’t stand it any longer!

 The strategist Xi Zhicai had to admit that Qin Hao fought beautifully in this battle, but there was one thing Xi Zhicai expressed doubts about, that is, could such a flawless strategy really come from the hands of the young master?

It’s not Xi Zhi who looks down on Qin Hao, but the current Qin Hao is indeed still far from the level of a senior counselor!

Even though Qin Hao already has 96 points of intelligence, it still takes time and experience to fully utilize these 96 points of intelligence.

“Congratulations again, my lord. With brother Jinglue here, my young master will soon accomplish another great feat!”

Xi Zhicai’s eyes flashed, as if he could see through everything.

"Oh?" Qin Wen asked differently, "What do the military advisors mean by this?"

"No one knows Brother Jinglue better than me. No matter burning Yanmen Pass, ambushing Donglongkou, or beheading Yufuluo, it is not the purpose of his plan."

"What do you mean by the military advisor?" Qin Wen was startled. After comprehending the meaning, he was surprised again and said: "The three empty counties in the North and Central China?"

"That's right." Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded: "Soon, Yanmen will fill up the land of three more counties."

 When he thought about the land that was about to be captured by three counties, an idea that had been buried deeply in Qin Wen's heart for a long time suddenly emerged.

 It’s time to launch the “criminal border defense”! Qin Wen thought to himself.

Facing the crowd, Qin Wen said sternly: "It is urgent to rebuild Yanmen Pass. I am going to write to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to **** the Yellow Turban prisoners from all over the country to help me build the pass. By the way, I will also ask for credit for Hao'er and the soldiers who fought **** battles."

 “Qin Zheng, where is Li Dingguo?”

 “The end is here!”

 Qin Zheng immediately stood up with his fists clasped, and Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment before also standing up.

“Li Dingguo is the chief and Qin Zheng is the deputy. I order you two to immediately **** 80,000 prisoners of war back to Guangwu and follow the command of Hao Juncheng to repair the pass.”

Li Dingguo was previously the number two figure in Zhang Xianzhong's army and could quickly stabilize the Yellow Turban prisoners of war, so Qin Wen put Li Dingguo in charge and Qin Zheng to assist.

Li Dingguo obviously did not expect that Qin Wen would arrange such an important task for him so quickly. He suddenly felt warm in his heart and shouted: "No!"
