Chapter 115 Growth
This is the second time Yang Feng came to Lujiang today, but the amount of information represented this time is undoubtedly good news for Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao naturally agreed without hesitation about Yang Feng's request. As for the conditions, it was somewhat beyond Yang Feng's expectations. Ye Zhao did not lower the conditions because of the heavy blow to Yinye Cave. It was still the original condition. As long as Yinye Cave agreed to naturalization, Ye Zhao could build a city for them and would send people to Yinye Cave. This time, Meng Huo and others broke the Yinye Cave and almost emptied the Yinye Cave. In order to avoid the large reduction in staff due to the food crisis in the following days, Ye Zhao promised to use a batch of Yinye Cave to help Yinye Cave overcome this genocide crisis.
"You guys say, is this Meng Huo ours one?" Yang Feng, who was promised to leave and happily left, Ye Zhao groped his chin and looked at the generals. Why do he feel that Meng Huo has been helping him complete the integration of Nanzhong? Because of Meng Huo, Ye Zhao's progress in subduing Nanzhong was much faster, especially this time the Yinye Cave was a tragic incident for Yinye Cave, but for Ye Zhao, he could not only easily subdue Yinye Cave, but also had a great possibility to take down the Jingzhang at a very small price and do his best to deal with the barbarians in Yongchang and Yueli.
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Now thinking about it, if Meng Huo had not gathered these Nanman Cave Masters and Ye Zhao would have to conquer the Nanman, but if they really had to attack like this, although the enemy's troops were dispersed, it seemed easier to waste the day, but the food and grass consumption was even longer. Regardless of the consumption of food and grass, the southern part of the country was full of invisible miasma, and the non-combat reduction caused by the harsh environment may not be less than the reduction caused by the war.
If the war goes well, it can even save Ye Zhao two years of pacification.
"Lord, there is something unknown at the end!" Huang Quan stood up and bowed.
"It's okay if Gongheng has something to say." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.
"It's not that the general is greedy for small profits, but the lord wants to build this southern central area and use money and food everywhere. If the lord has not been captured by Meng Huo and others, it is not impossible for him to lure him with great profits. But now, the population of Yinye Cave has been mostly lost, and the decline is a foregone conclusion. It can save a lot of benefits. I wonder why the lord has to treat him well?" Huang Quan bowed to Ye Zhao.
Even Yang Gao was ready to make great concessions to obtain Ye Zhao's help, and Ye Zhao's choice was a little confused.
Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Gongheng, how have the soldiers trained recently?"
"This..." Huang Quan was a little embarrassed when he heard this. As a top talent from the new generation of Chengdu Academy, he could talk in front of Ye Zhao, and when he was a county official in Ba County, he could handle things in an orderly manner. But this time, Ye Zhao asked him to lead the battalion alone. He was originally full of confidence. Ye Zhao wrote a book on military training in the academy, recording Ye Zhao's military training experience. Several generals were also taking turns to teach. Huang Quan thought he had learned well, but the development of things was somewhat different from what he imagined.
Because Ye Zhao implemented the policy of training and leading troops apart, so the generals would have a running-in process when taking over the troops, and half of the barbarians surrendered their troops. What Huang Quan had to do was to maximize the abilities of the two teams as much as possible.
Therefore, he chose to train troops, hoping to smooth out the generation gap between the two teams through competition, but the gap between this plan and the actual situation made Huang Quan overwhelmed.
The Shu army looked down on these defeated generals, and the chaotic formation of the barbarians became the target of ridicule of the Chongdian. The barbarians and the Shu army had few defeats in single fights, and they looked down on each other and disliked each other. Huang Quan looked through the books and didn't know how to solve this problem. These days just this matter made her anxious and greatly damaged his confidence. He thought he was not inferior to Zhang Ren, Gan Ning and Guan Ping, but those three could handle such a thing properly.
"This morale of the army is like the heart of the people. It is meaningless to just follow the script." Ye Zhao shook his head. He has been paying attention to Huang Quan's affairs. Mediating ethnic issues is the main contradiction in Yizhou next, and it is also the first assessment Ye Zhao gave Huang Quan.
"Gongheng is very talented, no one in this account doesn't admit it, but based on your performance over the years, you can ask Yun Chang to see how he says." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan's expression and smiled.
"I have talent, but I only know how to talk about it in vain, like Zhao Kuo, talking about war on paper. His soldiers under him have different orders and are at a loss to advance and retreat. They are actually a mob. If they are defeated from the last future, only 500 elite soldiers can defeat them!" Guan Yu bowed and said.
Huang Quan's face turned pale and talked about it on paper. This was a very bad review. Now he was being labeled on his head and could not refute it. This made him feel a little indescribable.
"Have you ever asked Chief Yun how to manage the army?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and asked.
"The last one... thought the last one could solve it." Huang Quan lowered his head and said.
"Or it can be understood that you don't think that Yun Chang can teach you what you can do?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and shook his head and sighed: "Yun Chang has joined the army since the Zhongping period, fought south and north. Later, he was named the Sima of the Yuyang Army by the court. He guarded the frontier and often fought with Hu people outside the frontier. He also had Hu soldiers under his command, but he could enforce orders. He is the most suitable person to teach you. I don't know why you are arrogant, but if you can't let go of this arrogance in your heart, you will still hand over the military power and be an aide under my account in the future. I admit that you are talented. If you talk about naturalization, you are not inferior to anyone, but if you can't turn your talent into actual ability, you can only be an aide in this life."
"Lord, please give Quan another chance!" Huang Quan bowed his fists and said in a stern manner.
"Yes, but I hope that your soldiers can send some usefulness before going to war next time!" Ye Zhao stood up and said calmly.
"Here! The last general will accept the order!" Huang Quan did not talk about Yinye Cave again, and bowed to take the order and left.
In the following month, Ye Zhao sent Ding Li to Niulan Mountain to help Xu Rong defend the enemy. Now Xu Rong is facing a 20,000 army of the southern barbarians in the Niulan Mountain area. In addition, Meng Huo and others join forces with them, with a lot of troops. Although Xu Rong is a general, it is his territory after all, and the Ugo Kingdom has dispatched three thousand vine armored soldiers!
Xu Rong once wanted to use fire to attack and destroy this vine armor, but Ye Zhao sent someone to inform him that it was not accurate.
Although the vine armored soldiers have obvious weaknesses, they are of wide use if they are used as surprise weapons. The most important thing is that the vine armor of this vine armor is different from ordinary vine armor. According to Yang Feng, it was soaked for more than ten years before it had the invulnerable characteristics. If it was burned in just one fire, it would probably take a few more years to go by, and it would not be certain whether you could still live.
After Yang Feng brought back the news, Yang Gao was overjoyed. He was ready to be slaughtered by Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao did not really put the blame in the wrong place. Instead, he sent craftsmen to find suitable places to build a city near Yinye Cave. The continuous cement was transported over. The outline of a small city had begun to take shape in a month. At the same time, Ye Zhao also sent someone to send a lot of food, clothing and other supplies to Yinye Cave.
You treat me with national talents, and I repay me with national talents!
Although the Southern Barbarians didn't know this, they were almost the same in their actions. After accepting so many benefits from Ye Zhao, he was already ready to be slaughtered, but the result was far beyond expectations, which made Yang Gao and his son determined to sacrifice themselves in return.
In the past month, the father and son almost went back and forth in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang, constantly persuaded Ye Zhao to come and surrender. In just one month, Yang Gao successfully convinced five small cave masters. At the same time, Ye Lang and the West followed, and the four cities did not single, and Ye Zhao took the four counties and five caves without a single soldier. Moreover, the father and son did not stop because of this, and continued to persuade other small tribes or county towns.
Huang Quan became much more diligent during this period and almost every day he would go to Guan Yu to ask about the method of leading troops. At the beginning, Guan Yu was a little resistant to Huang Quan. After all, in Ye Zhao's words, although Huang Quan's previous attitude was humble, he had arrogance in his bones. Who was Guan Yu? That arrogance was definitely above Huang Quan, how could he bear this?
However, Huang Quan is also from a poor family. He has the spirit of not admitting defeat to this day. The complacency has not yet been developed. Couple has caused him to take complacency and restrain himself. What he has shown is the spirit of trying to do everything to learn. Even if Guan Yu is annoyed by Huang Quan repeatedly, he will teach Huang Quan some real things.
After Guan Yu's on-demand broadcast, Huang Quan began to behave well, at least not nearly as close to the level of opposition to each other as before.
Moreover, during this period, Huang Quan could see Ye Zhao's intention through everything. It was not that Ye Zhao was stupid and had a lot of money, but that Ye Zhao used this generous help to obtain the heartfelt help of Yang Gao, his son, and the scholar died for his confidant. It turned out that the barbarians and Han people were actually no different, not just based on interests.
"Do you understand?" A month later, looking at Huang Quan who had become much more restrained, Ye Zhao smiled. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another mainstay in Shu in the future.
"The most general is ashamed." Huang Quan looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile and said, "It's the most general is shallow."
"It's not that you are shallow, but that your eyes separate Yinye Cave from us from the beginning." Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "I built Yincheng, Yinye Cave is naturalized. In the end, the Yincheng is different from ours. As for the materials to help them, they are to win people's hearts and to help my people. It's right to talk about interests to outsiders, but since they want to accept various ethnic groups for naturalization, theirs is ours. I gave them today and they will take them back tomorrow. Is there any mistake?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and smiled and said, "Sometimes, Gongheng might as well stand outside this chessboard and look at it, rather than just being a chess piece."
"Hey, I'll be taught." Huang Quan took a deep breath and bowed.
"Go and prepare. I heard that Meng Huo invited people again. The barbarians in the southern central area were almost exhausted by him." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile: "The rebellion in the southern border is over."
