"The prisoners in Grand Sima, Mei County, Maoling, the north bank of the Wei River have been counted. There are more than 63,000 people who are injured or slightly injured. There are more than 12,000 people who are seriously injured and unable to recover their labor."

Hey! There are about 75,000 prisoners? Including more than 30,000 escaped Guanzhong soldiers, this means that the number of Jin soldiers killed by Shu Han in Guanzhong has reached more than 100,000? Ah, no, there are only 100,000?

From a utilitarian perspective, of course, the fewer people left in the Jin army, the better. But from a long-term perspective, these people are all the people of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the more people, the better.

But now it is a locust plague! The summer locust has just been raging, and the autumn locust is coming soon.

"Hey~~~ How many of these seriously injured people can survive ten days later?"

"After looking for the medical officers of our army, we found that there were about 8,000 people left. Basically, they all had broken hands and feet. It was impossible to join the army, and it was basically impossible to plow the fields."

"Let's do this, these people will be arranged to go to Anding County. I have written Chen Boyu and asked him to draw a piece of land there to build a new workshop. A military horse farm will be built next to the workshop. These people will be put there to work. If they can't be placed, I will take the lead and all the officials of my great man will be replaced by this group of people."

"Wonderful, so the remaining 60,000 surrendered soldiers will be my great man in an instant."

"Haha, I can only feel at ease. After all, the families of these people are still in Guandong. Well, let's change it. Speaking of these more than 60,000 surrendered soldiers, do you have a place to settle them?"

"Uh... Grand Sima, in the second year of Yanxing, we placed more than 100,000 prisoners of war into the mainland of our Great Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Yanxing, we placed another 50,000 slaves from the Bu family. In the fifth year of Yanxing, the General won a great victory in Longxi and placed more than 20,000 surrendered troops into Yizhou. Next, according to the Grand Sima's intention, we would also place 100,000 Di people... My Great Han was a small country with few people. If we enrich these people... But if we didn't put these people in Yizhou, where would we put them?"

"Yes. So I'm going to let these people continue to be in the army."

"Ah? Grand Sima, as you said, most of these people are Kanto soldiers, and their families are also in Kanto. Let them directly enter our Han army..."

"Hehe, I'm going to let them go to Liangzhou."

"Liangzhou?"

"Well, I asked Zhongying to serve as the general of the Western Expedition, mainly with the 10,000 cavalry of our Han Dynasty, plus some Xianbei and Qiang cavalry. I took these 60,000 surrendered troops to Xiping County. In that place, the proportion of Han people in the local area was less than 50%, and the grain output was insufficient. When they went there, they could only rely closely on our Han Dynasty to survive."

"Then what? We can't deliver food to so many people for a long distance, right?"

"That's of course. The food I prepared can be provided to the people of Yongliang for at most for a year. If there is no other hair growth in a year, everyone will starve to death. So after they settled there, Zhongying's next task is to scrutinize the weak, select the young and strong, and then move westward!"

"Going westward? What does Grand Sima mean to open the Western Regions again?"

"Yes, although Cao Wei and Jin have set up the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions, it actually has no effect at all. My Han Dynasty has been able to maintain influence and rule over the Western Regions since Emperor Wu, and now this tradition should be restored. In the short term, I will not ask for much benefit from the Western Regions. I will solve the logistics supply of this small 100,000 population in advance."

"The subordinates are not optimistic, but no matter what, this is the best way to place these surrendered soldiers."

"Hey, the placement of surrendered soldiers is just the first thread in the chaos in Guanzhong. There are so many things behind it."

After saying this, Guan Yi sat down tiredly, picked up the water cup in front of him, and made a move to drink water to Ma Guo.

When Ma Guo smiled slightly and sat down to take a breath, Zhao Yi hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Brother, the news from Tongguan has been heard. The General and his father failed to successfully attack Guancheng there. The General has ordered the entire army to set up camps and prepare the siege equipment before attacking."

"Oh~~~" This stinky old man! He is extremely stubborn! I fully understand your feelings and am very grateful. But there is really no need. Forget it, you have the habit of cherishing the lives of soldiers. You will naturally withdraw after you can't fight.

"Well, Guowei, I'll send you a message to your father and ask him to tell the general. Although Du Yuankai's ancestral home is Jingzhao, the Du family has been deeply engaged in Hedong County since his grandfather Du Ji. The main land estates are all in Hedong. In addition, this person is Sima Yi's son-in-law. So it's useless to persuade Du Yuankai... Hum? Guowei, what's your expression?"

"Brother? Who told you that the general of Tongguan is Du Yuankai?"

"Huh? Not Du Yuankai? Who is that? Hehe, could Sima Yan be the emperor who led the army in person?"

"Haha, no. He is a shameless person who has gone through the path of the Minister of Jin State, Pei Xiu. He seems to be named Ma Long and Ma Xiaoxing."

"What?!!!" Hearing this, Guan Yi's water cup in his hand flew up. The boiling water in the cup splashed on his thin summer single shirt, making him so hot that he screamed.

Of course, Sima Guan, at least he had struggled with the dead for several times, and was cut a lot by others. This burn is actually nothing. The main reason is that the news brought by Zhao Yi was too shocking.

Ma Long! That's Ma Long!

"Why is my brother (Grand Sima) so out of control?"

But at this time, Guan Yi had no intention of paying attention to these two people, and was confused: "Come here! Brush and ink serve!"

"General Jun Jian was shocked to hear that the generals of Tongguan were replaced. The new general was Ma Xiaoxing, Dongping. Although this person is still unknown, he is actually a genius in the world! Yi, with his military strategy, is definitely not under Deng Shizai! The general must be cautious and honest!"

After writing the letter from the flying dragon and snake, "Governor's reputation, ride alone to Tongguan. Be sure to hand over this letter to the general with your own hands! Tell the general that Ma Long is a great general who is not born in the world and must not be underestimated! Let's go immediately, hurry up!"

The old people in the Fuxing Society have always been blindly obedient to Guan Yi. So Zhao Yi was also frightened when he saw Guan Yi so disobedient. After receiving the letter, he didn't say much and ran away. Ma Guo was also full of anxiety: "Sima, if that Ma Xiaoxing is really as you said, then the general... Alas, Guanzhong has decided at the beginning, we cannot withstand any failure."

"Yes! Change it, how many people from our army have arrived in Chang'an City now?"

"Well, the order was carried out early this morning to lead the spearmen to escort the prisoners into the city."

"Shan, please immediately ask Ling Xing to mobilize five thousand spearmen and rush to Tongguan immediately! Tell Ling Xing that if you arrive at Tongguan, there is no problem with the general, don't rush to lean up and garrison near Huayin. If the general is defeated, then line up near Huayin to meet the general's defeated soldiers."

"promise!"

...

Guan Yi received Zhao Yi's report on August 9th, two days have passed since Jiang Wei arrived in Tongguan.

During these two days, Jiang Wei asked the soldiers to build siege equipment, and also reminded the generals under his command to pay attention to the enemy's night attacks.

But for two days, Ma Long sat on the wall of Tongguan Pass and watched Jiang Weijun build siege equipment, without saying anything.
