Liu Bei's surrender was just a small episode. In the eyes of the world, it was inevitable and did not cause any waves. The only impact was that the great Zhao of Yuan Shao in Hebei became more aggressive after receiving the news.

Recruiting troops and training.

The whole of Hebei was in full swing. Under Yuan Shao's promise, countless greedy families came to help, and the whole of Hebei showed a unity and prosperity in a short time. Yuan Shao also started his final madness, recruiting and training troops everywhere regardless of the cost.

.In Hebei, all young men over the age of fourteen were forcibly recruited as soldiers.

When he got the news, Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost sent his army north to fight across the Yellow River. Fourteen-year-old children were dragged onto the battlefield. Is there any humanity left? Do you really think it's still the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

"Your Majesty, don't be upset. Yuan Benchu ​​is now at the end of his rope. It is normal to kill the goose to obtain the eggs." Jia Xu advised.

This thing seems normal to Jia Xu. Thinking about being able to serve as a soldier in Xiliang and have a living, it was an opportunity that many people could not ask for. There are many children aged 11 or 12 in the army, and the whole family

It is not strange for men to go into battle together.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is really crazy. These newcomers are all dragged into the battlefield with the same recklessness as Cao Mengde." Guo Jia clicked his tongue.

They naturally knew why Yuan Benzhu was so confident.

Yuan Shu's heart is too soft!

He has not experienced many difficulties and has always firmly dominated the trend, which has led to Yuan Shu's acting style being too benevolent. Along the way, there are not many innocent souls under the butcher's knife, and they are basically people who deserve to die. Even the descendants of many aristocratic families and the Han Dynasty

He was also able to die a good death, which is really rare among emperors in the past dynasties.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu's own ability was also astonishing. He relied on his cheating internal affairs ability to dominate the world, which made everyone have to bow their heads. Only then did Guo Jia and others stop trying to dissuade him.

After all, a kind and merciful lord is also the luck of his ministers. The reason why many ministers choose heroes with thick faces and cruel hearts in troubled times is because only those with thick faces and cruel hearts can achieve success in troubled times. If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand still, and he will be slaughtered.

Nine million people are heroes among heroes. In prosperous times, a monarch can be kind, but to calm down troubled times, he must be a ruthless person.

However, the existence of Yuan Shu completely broke this common sense, and directly brought the battle to the competition of national power, almost dragging it to the technology tree. Relying on the unreasonable development of national power, and as it develops, it crushes the world, it is simply

It makes people helpless.

Whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Liu Bei, what they did was actually very excessive. But they relied on Yuan Shu's "soft heart" to be so unscrupulous.

These new child soldiers could not go to the battlefield at all. Guo Jia understood their role after a quick guess. Nine times out of ten, these soldiers were all temporarily captured strong men to guard the city wall. Yuan Shao was completely acting rogue.

When the two countries are at war, it is impossible to send all the troops to the battlefield. Sufficient troops must be left behind. The so-called devoting the country's strength to sending at least 60 to 70% of the country's troops to the battlefield is the limit. And Yuan Shao now recruits these unable

The new soldiers who went to the battlefield were playing tricks on Yuan Shu.

These new soldiers have little combat power, but they can still be used with some old soldiers to defend the city, and Yuan Shao estimates that Yuan Shu's character will not do such a thing of storming the city. So just send these new soldiers to show off and bluff, that's it.

More combatable troops can be sent to the battlefield for a head-on decisive battle. If Yuan Shao could originally bring 60% to 70% of the troops on the battlefield, after playing this trick, he could send two more troops to the battlefield.

become.

"You shameless Yuan Benchu, you're trying to do this with me!" After being reminded by Guo Jia, Yuan Shu couldn't help but cursed in anger.

Several people just watched Yuan Shu's outburst quietly without any intention to dissuade him. Especially Guo Jia, whose eyes even had a hint of narrow-mindedness, as if they were watching a joke, quietly waiting for Yuan Shu's final decision.

After scolding Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu slowly calmed down and found that everyone was looking at him quietly. The situation was awkward for a while, and everyone looked like they had nothing to do with themselves and were watching the fun.

"Yuan Hao!"

"I'm here." Tian Feng cupped his hands and said.

"Order all regions to send troops to Qingzhou as quickly as possible. They will arrive within two months. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by military law. Within three months, I will see this bastard Yuan Benchu ​​in Jinling!" Yuan Shu said angrily.

"In addition, take Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande to work in the farm outside the city. Let me watch them carefully every day. They will work for two months. Outsiders are not allowed to come into contact with them. If they do not work well, they will not be fed! Let them experience it too.

After understanding the hardships of the grassroots people, one by one, they really don’t take human life seriously!”

Yuan Shu was angry in his heart but couldn't take it out on others, so he had to vent it on the two unlucky guys, Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If they weren't the masters who couldn't control themselves, how could there have been so many troubles? Anyway, no matter the root cause is

What, they definitely can't get around it.

"Your Majesty, we are all princes from one side, is this appropriate?" Tian Feng asked after hesitating for a moment.

"What's inappropriate? As a defeated general, you have to be honest with me. If you don't give them some reform through labor, ideological education, etc., it will be a disaster if they are released. When Yuan Benchu ​​falls into my hands, let's see what I do.

Take care of him." Yuan Shu snorted coldly.

Yuan Shu never felt bad when his soldiers were injured when necessary. Horse-leather corpses were the best destination for soldiers. But Yuan Shu could not tolerate the practice of dragging these twelve or thirteen-year-old children onto the battlefield. This kind of behavior of killing the goose to obtain the eggs was not only unethical,

And it is also very wasteful. This is a very shameful thing in the eyes of Yuan Shu, who is a "profiteer". How many resources does it cost to raise a child to such a big age? He will soon become an adult and can provide productivity. As a result, at this time

What a huge waste it is to kill someone pointlessly before even getting back to the original goal.

Population is productivity, and there are not many death row prisoners in Dachu every year. Except for those whose crimes are so heinous that they should be cut to pieces and cannot be pardoned, ordinary prisoners can live peacefully in mines and construction sites even if they are sentenced to life.

Reform through labor, contribute to the country, and strive for early release if they perform well. The aliens who plunder foreign countries are also constantly squeezing their value. Anyway, their lives are not worth mentioning compared to the Han people, and they are resigned to it one by one.

Some of the hard and dangerous work will naturally be taken over by them.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the others were unable to settle this debt, but Yuan Shu had a clear mind. He was also willing to "teach by words and deeds", allowing Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to gain a deep understanding of how to fully squeeze the value of the people and maximize their use through personal experience.

.

"I don't want to retaliate. I do this for the future of our Han people and for their own consideration. The reason for taking such painstaking efforts is to let them have an in-depth understanding of the way to strengthen our country, Dachu, so as to facilitate their future development. I must have said

Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde will definitely understand my good intentions," Yuan Shu said.

Everyone below was speechless when they heard these obvious words. Looking at Yuan Shu's uncontrollable smile and the excitement and joy in his eyes, they secretly observed three seconds of silence for Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
