Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 191: Training Cavalry and Watching the Hetao

Chapter 190: Training Cavalry and Watching the Hetao

After handling the affairs of the Hu tribe, Qin Hao dismissed all the leaders with a wave of his hand, and then shouted to the generals in the hall: "Where are Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun?"

 “The end is here!” The three of them responded in unison.

“I’ll leave the matter of recruiting troops from the barbarians and training them to the three of you!” Qin Hao said solemnly.

The current Yanmen Army only has five battalions and 15,000 Han cavalry, and this time Qin Hao recruited 10,000 cavalry from the Hu people at once, which can definitely be regarded as a big deal, so he cannot be rash.

Although the nomads grew up on horses and are natural knights, they still need training to fight as cavalry.

When Yue Fei and the other three heard this, their eyes were full of excitement. If they were allowed to train, they might be allowed to lead this cavalry in the future.

That is a total of ten thousand cavalry. Although they are random cavalry, they are rare and valuable. It is really exciting to think about it.

 “No!” the three of them said quickly.

Qin Hao couldn't help but nodded when he saw that the three favorite generals were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Only with this kind of enthusiasm can we train good cavalry!

Qin Hao also knew that the Yanmen Army's military pay and benefits could win over a large number of Hu people, but it could not guarantee their absolute loyalty. Qin Hao had four ways to ensure the loyalty of the Hu people.

  1, high treatment to win people's hearts;

  2. To control his family members and make them feel scrupulous;

  3, to disrupt the Hu people groups and prevent them from forming a group;

 4, brainwashing them through bombing during the training process, and imprinting in their minds the idea of ​​loyalty to the Yanmen Army.

Among these four points, the fourth is the most important. If you let a highly charismatic general train, the brainwashing effect will be better. That's why Qin Hao asked the three most charismatic people, Yue Fei, Qin Qiong, and Zhao Yun, to train.

With these three highly charismatic generals, coupled with his many tricks, Qin Hao would not be able to subdue a mere 10,000 Huqi if he didn't believe it.

 “Gao Shun.” Qin Hao continued.

 “The end will be here.”

 “You are ordered to be responsible for escorting all slaves to Yanmen Pass.”

 “No!”

“I am about to return to Guangwu, but I will not be here during the period. Mr. Wang Meng is in charge of matters in the three counties, with Fan Zhongyan as deputy. You will assist me and stabilize the three counties!”

When the generals heard this, they were immediately filled with doubts. The three counties had just been recovered and it was the most chaotic time. The young master could stabilize people's hearts by being in charge of the three counties. However, the young master had to leave at this time. What happened to the land of the three counties? Is stability still important?

"Young Master, our Yanmen Army has newly acquired the territory of three counties. It is a time when everything is in ruins and is waiting to be revitalized. Young Master, you should not leave!" Fan Zhongyan stood up and advised.

After Fan Zhongyan made the beginning, others also urged Qin Hao to stay, but Wang Meng's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

 “Congratulations, my lord, on your upcoming promotion!”

Wang Meng saluted Qin Hao with a smile on his face, and Qin Hao also burst out laughing when he saw this. Wang Meng was still so good that he could see the key at a glance.

"I really can't hide anything, sir. That's right, the imperial envoy is here, and my father has urged me to go back to Guangwu to accept the reward. Of course, there is also the immigration issue of the three counties." The generals were also very happy when they heard this. The young master said this For such a huge contribution, the court will definitely give him a big reward. The higher Qin Hao's status, their status will naturally rise.

But what about immigration?

I heard that the Yellow Turbans have gathered a million troops in Yanzhou. Can the imperial court still take care of the three counties now?

Qin Hao naturally knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, but he was not prepared to explain. If his subordinates did not understand something, and he, the lord, had to explain it, he would be exhausted.

"In the three counties of Central and North China, the total number of Han people is only a mere 100,000, and the total population of Hu people is less than that of our Yanmen county. With such a shallow foundation, it is difficult to protect ourselves, so how can we use this as a springboard to recover The land of the river."

　　After hearing what Qin Hao said, the generals were stunned at first, and then dumbfounded in shock.

It’s not enough for the young master to take back the three counties of Zhongbei, he actually wants to take back the land of Hetao. This, this is simply crazy!

 The three counties in the central and northern areas have been developed for more than a hundred years. At least there is a city that can be defended.

But in the Hetao to the north, although the land is fertile, it is flat and flat. It is impossible to capture it without enough cavalry, and even if it is captured, how can it be defended?

The Hetao is surrounded by the Yellow River to the west, north and east. Yinshan Mountain lies across the north of the Yellow River, Helan Mountain stands to the west of the Yellow River, Luya Mountain blocks the east of the Yellow River, and is adjacent to the Northern Shaanxi Plateau to the south. The mountains block the river. The situation is dangerous. .

The Yellow River in the Hetao has a stable flow, and the land on both sides is fertile and can be cultivated and grazed. There is a saying in history that "the Yellow River has many harms, but only one rich one". It is also known as "the south of the Yangtze River".

After Qin unified the Central Plains, the First Emperor sent Meng Tian to lead an army of 100,000 to drive the Xiongnu out of Hetao, and moved 30,000 households there to guard the border, establishing Yunzhong and Jiuyuan counties.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to Chuyunzhong to defeat the Xiongnu and occupy Hetao. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successively established Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Xihe County in Hetao.

In addition, the Hetao also includes Dingxiang County, Beidi, and the northern part of Shangjun. Therefore, although the Hetao is just a region, its actual area is not inferior to that of a state.

The three counties in the central and northern parts also belong to the Hetao, but they are only marginal areas. Starting from the three counties, the real essence of the Hetao is in the north, but this part of the essence is still in the hands of the Xiongnu.

The Hetao Plain was what Qin Hao had dreamed of and had to get. The land was so fertile that it was actually the foundation of his hegemony and he had to hold it in his hands.

 It is no exaggeration to say that if you sow seeds on the land in Hetao, food will grow without any care.

If the Hetao area is developed well, it can feed tens of millions of people alone. When combined with the "artifact" first-generation hybrid rice, one Hetao can feed half a man.

Although Qin Hao obtained the first-generation hybrid rice seeds, Bingzhou is not suitable for planting rice. If the land of Guanxi wants to give full play to this great weapon, there are only two places in Hetao and Guanzhong.

 So Qin Hao must seize the Hetao from the Xiongnu. Of course, before retaking the Hetao, Qin Hao must develop the three central and northern counties.

Without the three wealthy central and northern counties as a foundation, Qin Hao could not afford enough cavalry to compete with Temujin for the Hetao, so the strategy of offending the people and guarding the border was imminent.

“Young Master, if you want to capture the Hetao, you must have a large number of cavalry, but our army does not seem to have this strength at the moment?” Fan Zhongyan advised tactfully.

 “I didn’t say we’d fight now!”

 Qin Hao rolled his eyes, how could he not know such a simple truth?

When the generals heard that the young master did not want to fight now, they were relieved. They were really afraid that the young master would get hot when he won a big victory, and thought that the Huns were not strong enough, so they would directly lead the army to recapture the Hetao. That would be a real send-off. Headed!
