Chapter 658 Wang Yu is building momentum, you and I are tacitly aware of each other
"Lord, what do you need me to do?" When Wang Yu said this, Dongfang Lirang didn't know what he meant, so he immediately expressed his attitude.
"I hope that when I return to Luoyang, I can persuade Liu Hong well and say that the Hetao is about to be taken. Wuyang Hou Wang Yu is ready to follow the example of Emperor Wu and build a city in the Hetao to protect the Hetao!"
"In order to speed up the construction of the city and prevent the Hetao from being lost again, please ask the imperial court to issue an edict to the people of the world to allow refugees from all over the world to come and settle in Bingzhou."
"At that time, they will be arranged in advance to the Land in the Clouds to rest temporarily for a while. After the Hetao area is completely captured, they will be placed here."
When Wang Yu said this, he paused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "For anyone who is willing to come and settle in Bingzhou, the Bingzhou Army will not only arrange a place for them, but also give them a place to live."
"In addition, a large amount of wasteland will be given to them so that they can cultivate and support themselves. As long as they cultivate for three years, the land will belong to them."
Wang Yu dared to say this, naturally because today is different from the past. Bingzhou more than ten years ago could indeed be called a bitter cold place.
Especially Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and other counties in the north were in constant war and were attacked by foreign tribes from the north many times.
As for Shangdang and Taiyuan in the south, although their economic conditions are relatively developed, compared with other states and counties, the gap is a bit big!
Therefore, this also leads to the fact that even if there are homeless refugees, they generally will not choose Bingzhou, but will go to Jizhou, Yuzhou and other economically developed places.
However, it is different now. After Wang Anshi's reform in those few years, Bingzhou's economic development has risen to a higher level, which does not disgrace those big states in the Central Plains at all.
Moreover, this time, in order to attract ordinary people, Wang Yu directly paid a cost that they could not refuse, which was the land on which farmers relied for survival.
In addition, now we are catching up with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
It can be said that, looking at the world of the Han Dynasty, except for the paradise land of Bingzhou, other places were full of wars, and ordinary people lived a precarious life.
Looking back at Bingzhou, Wang Yu's initial victory in the Battle of Hetao inspired the people's confidence that as long as they could get to Bingzhou, the Bingzhou army would be able to guarantee the safety of their lives.
Of course, Wang Yu chose to do this for the long-term plan. After all, people in this era have feelings of family reunion. Even if they become refugees, they want to return to their hometown when peace is restored.
To sum up, it is the fallen leaves returning to their roots!
Wang Yu did not expect that not long after they arrived in Bingzhou, they would be put down due to the Yellow Turban Uprising and return to their hometown again.
At that time, Wang Yu would have no place to cry!
It is precisely because of this that he has incurred such a large cost.
After all, after having land, people have roots, so they don't want to live a life of uprooting themselves from their hometown again.
Therefore, Wang Yu believed that as long as Liu Hong issued this order and let the refugees all over the world know that the Bingzhou Army was willing to distribute land to the refugees developing in the Hetao area, many refugees would be interested.
Even if there are not many people at the beginning, as more and more people migrate and send messages to their tribesmen in their hometowns, those who are still struggling will definitely flock to Bingzhou one after another.
By then, the population of the expanded states will not be as simple as one or two million.
After all, whenever war breaks out, the most indispensable thing in the world is refugees.
Otherwise, how could there be:
Prosperity, people suffer!
Death, people suffer, this Yuan song!
Even though Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army has been using the slogan of benefiting the people of the world, anyone who pays attention will find that they still cannot change this situation.
In the end, it is the people who suffer.
It can be said that the land of Guandong is now filled with refugees.
Some people may ask, doesn’t Zhang Jiao work for the welfare of the people? Doesn’t he want to take care of these refugees?
The answer is naturally I want to take care of it.
But the premise is that he must have this strength.
Just these one million Yellow Turbans are enough for Zhang Jiao to worry about, but he has no energy to manage these ordinary refugees.
As for the Han Dynasty, they didn't care about the life and death of these refugees at all.
What are the common people? They are just ordinary people who can be slaughtered at will!
This was the case before and it is still the case now.
They lack an opportunity now!
An opportunity for them to dare to go to Bingzhou.
And the Bingzhou Army did not need to pay a huge cost in treating these refugees like resettling prisoners of war.
After all, to treat these refugees, it is only necessary to provide them with shelter and food for a short period of time. When the food planted grows, the Bingzhou Army will naturally make money back.
…………
This plan is what Wang Yu has recently thought up based on the social situation. In summary, it combines recruiting refugees with criminals and guarding the border.
In his opinion, this is the most effective way to rapidly expand the population of the state in a short period of time!
"Lord, this matter... I'm afraid it's not that easy to handle!"
When Dongfang Lirang heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, feeling that Wang Yu had overestimated him.
"My Lord, I don't know. If you just issued an edict to persuade the refugees to come to Bingzhou, there would be no problem. Instead of letting those ordinary people starve to death, it is better to let them come to Bingzhou and survive."
"It's just that in order to weaken the strength of the Bingzhou Army, Liu Hong is now eager for his lord to send a capable general to lead an elite force southward!"
"If an order is issued against the refugees at this time, it will definitely delay time, and Liu Hong will definitely not be willing to do so.
"When that time comes, I will reject my lord's request. This will not be good for my lord's future development." Dongfang Lirang frowned and reminded, trying to persuade Wang Yu to take back his life.
……………
"Of course I know this, but don't worry."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered that in the first month of next year, something that will shock the world will happen. After this matter comes out, it will definitely be postponed for a long time.
The war of time.
As soon as he thought about this, Wang Yu immediately said to Dongfang Lirang: "Lirang, just tell Liu Hong this when you go back. Now that the cold winter is approaching, it is not conducive for the army to fight!"
"The Yellow Turbans gathered millions of troops and conducted military training in Yanzhou. They must have the goal of a decisive battle in the first battle and a decisive battle. If the army has not grown up, the Yellow Turbans will definitely not start a war at this time!"
"According to the current time, the date chosen by the Yellow Turban Army for the decisive battle will definitely be after February or March of next year."
When Wang Teng and Dongfang Lirang heard this, they both nodded in agreement. Weather is the biggest factor restricting war. Just like the Battle of Hetao not long ago, the reason why the Han army had a truce was because the weather was not conducive to the Han army's fighting!
However, Wang Teng also knew that since his precious son dared to say this, there must have been some amazing things happening that he didn't know about.
The occurrence of these things delayed the decisive battle between the two sides.
Of course, Dongfang Lirang definitely didn't know this. Seeing that what Wang Yu said was reasonable, he didn't refuse.
At this time, Wang Yu also continued to add: "In the Battle of Hetao, although our army defeated the foreign coalition forces, our own casualties were not small, and we need to supplement them from Bingzhou County soldiers!"
"And the troops who stayed behind fought against Tian Hu and other forces. Although they had annihilated the invading enemies, they were unable to fight anymore."
"In the next four months or so, our army needs to recuperate and prepare for the upcoming Battle of Hetao!"
"After February or March, I will definitely send capable officers to command an elite force of 30,000 people to go to Hulao Pass to assist in the battle!"
Dongfang Liyang admired Wang Yu's words in such a clear and logical way that no one could find any fault with them.
If this was the case, he was somewhat sure of persuading Liu Hong. After all, Wang Yu's battle report to Luoyang did not explain the specific number of casualties of the Bingzhou Army in the Battle of Hetao.
Therefore, Dongfang Courtesy can completely deceive Liu Hong and make him think that the Bingzhou Army also suffered heavy losses. I believe Liu Hong will believe it. After all, the aliens' combat power is already strong.
Annihilating nearly 200,000 enemies and injuring about 100,000 of its own troops was still a great victory. After all, it was a very normal thing to cause more than half of the casualties!
On the contrary, Liu Hong will be happy, because the strength of the Bingzhou Army has indeed been weakened by the aliens. They lost 100,000 people in the first battle. Now that 30,000 people have been snatched from his hands, there will only be more casualties in the following battles.
Therefore, after Liu Hong figured out the key point, he would definitely take the opportunity to show his generosity and understanding, and let Wang Yu carefully prepare for the battle in Bingzhou.
After February or March next year, send a capable general and command 30,000 cavalry to go south to support Hulao Pass.
Dongfang Lirang has been with Liu Hong for many years. It can be said that no one in the world understands Liu Hong better than him.
As an emperor who was pushed to the throne by the eunuch group and the Guandong Family Group, Liu Hong was very unwilling in his heart. He did not want to become the puppet of the family.
So, over the years, he has been trying to get out of this situation!
However, although this guy has the ambition to get out of the current situation, he lacks the ability and skills. He wants to do something great, but he is afraid of wolves and tigers, is timid, and can easily be taken advantage of.
Just like the Wang family!
It can be said that if it were not for the ten constant attendants such as himself, who had attracted the firepower of many aristocratic families, Liu Hong would have been a puppet in the hands of the aristocratic family at this time.
There are 30,000 powerful elite cavalry, and the leader is a capable general selected by Wang Yu. This is already a combat force that can affect the situation of the battle.
I believe Liu Hong will definitely not be able to refuse such a temptation!
"Thirty thousand cavalry?"
"The 30,000 Yu'er you are referring to should not be drawn from Bingzhou's cavalry. If my prediction is correct, they should be selected from county soldiers from various places and some Yanmen troops." Wang
Teng instantly understood what Wang Yu was thinking.
The outstanding soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were basically sent to the north. Naturally, it was impossible to draw troops from them, so they could only be drawn from the second-class county soldiers.
Anyway, the Bingzhou army has no shortage of war horses.
Besides, in the Battle of Hetao alone, the Han army captured 112,000 war horses.
In addition, the Bingzhou Army has established horse farms in various places over the years.
Wang Teng estimated that even excluding the captured war horses, the Bingzhou Army currently had more than 400,000 war horses.
It can be said that the number of horses captured in just one battle was equivalent to a quarter of the development results of the Bingzhou Army in seven years. Such a rich battle has never been fought even in eight lifetimes.
With these war horses added to expand the cavalry by 30,000, it is simply a small case!
Besides, these county soldiers also receive strict training in peacetime, and their riding and shooting skills are not weak. They may not be as good as against aliens, but against those ordinary Yellow Turban troops, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
As for this leadership candidate, there is no rush now anyway.
Since Wang Yu wants to send him, this person is one of the best in the Bingzhou Army in terms of status and ability.
After discussing these matters, Zhang Rang immediately left in a high-profile manner.
This was something Wang Yu had discussed with Zhang Rang before he left. On the surface, it was to enhance Zhang Rang's prestige, but in fact, it was to show Liu Hong, the emperor of Luoyang.
Wang Yu's intention with this move was to show his loyalty to Liu Hong. He only wanted to be a feudal official, and did not want to be a tyrant like Gongsun Shu, who separated one side from another.
Therefore, he treated Zhang Rang as the envoy as if he were the emperor himself.
However, ordinary people could not see the hidden meaning. When Zhang Rang returned to Luoyang City in a high profile and used a carriage to pull the gold horseshoe given to him by Wang Yu, everyone was excited.
This was because Zhang Rang's move was too unscrupulous, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had used his authority as the Tenth Permanent Attendant to 'extort' 30,000 horseshoe gold from Wang Yu.
Many students of Taixue, as well as those who were knowledgeable, were extremely shocked by this. After all, many of them had spent time with Wang Yu in Taixue.
They also established a friendship with each other and got to know the latter quite well.
Although the Shi Changshi were powerful, they were limited to the area near Luoyang. With their methods, they seemed not qualified to make Wang Yu fearful.
Finally, a student who once had a friendship with Wang Yu at Taixue told a fact that might be close to the truth.
That is spending money to buy peace.
…………
Now, the Bingzhou Army was about to fight a decisive battle with the foreign coalition forces. Wang Ziying was also afraid that these ten permanent servants would cause trouble behind his back, so he specially spent money to eliminate the disaster so that they could feel more at ease.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.
Not to mention, it is really possible!
After all, the Bingzhou Army had already sent most of its troops to northern Xinjiang, and there was simply no extra force that could be spared to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.
If the ten permanent servants took the opportunity to slander Wang Yu in front of the emperor, it would definitely bring them a great threat.
As soon as they thought about this, everyone felt more and more that the power of the Shi Changshi was still considerable. After all, the emperor listened to them.
Therefore, it is best not to offend the Ten Constant Attendants!
