Chapter 62: Another 14,000 People

Dong Hu did not stop Dong Gu from leaving, nor did he stop Yan Zhong. Both of them were marginal people among the rebels. They would have to go back without "escape". After returning to Jincheng Pass, how could others believe them?

But everyone has their own choices and reasons to choose their own paths. Dong Hu doesn't care too much about this, not to mention that the kindness that should be given has been given, and no matter what the ending of the two of them will do anything to him.

If Dong Gu died, even if Bei Heqiang was still burned to the Qiangnu tribe, he would be dissatisfied with the burning to the Qiangnu tribe.

If Yan Zhong dies, how could Yan Xing be kind to others?

No matter what the result is, it is not too bad for Dong Hu. He has no stopping and is not too eager to recruit. He knows that he is just a child with nothing, and he still has this self-knowledge.

All the squadron leaders, brigade leaders, and camp commanders were summoned to discuss that Dong Hu wanted to farm in front of the enemy and to open fields before taking down any city. He made a madman decision. After hearing this, everyone was stunned...

Seeing that no one spoke, Dong Hu knew that they did not agree silently, but they all opposed it.

"Bangbang."

His fingers hit the table a few times.

"The Warriors City is built on the mountain, and Yuzhong City is tall and sturdy. If you want to take it without siege equipment, it will take a long time and more sacrifices. If you don't do it well, you will be defeated and killed here."

"The first reason to farm is to lead them out to fight us."

...

"As a war, both sides of the enemy and us dare not farm. They were worried that the food they planted would be cheaper, but both sides needed food and stabilize the morale of the army. So before our farming was over, there was a 70% chance that they would not come to attack."

"The second reason for farming is to delay the arrival of the war, give more time to train soldiers in each army and battalion, and give you more time to familiarize yourself with soldiers, increase your prestige and master the tactics. The more time you give, the greater your chances of getting merit."

...

"We have 130,000 cattle and sheep and 70,000 stones of food, which seems to be a lot, but this is a war, not a warm kang at home, the battlefield is changing, and we must always think about the worst outcome and the hungry situation."

"The third reason for farming is to prevent the worst situation, increase food as much as possible, stabilize the morale of the army, and keep the soldiers undisturbed. Only then can you control the rights of the army and horses with peace of mind."

...

"There are all kinds of reasons for the rebellion, but one of the most important reasons is that the people below are poor, their lives are hard, and they are not satisfied with the hardships of life and cannot survive. But when they rebel with people, after a while, they find that their lives are not as good as before, and they want to have a life of not dead and sheep."

"The fourth reason for farming is to prove it to them with facts. Our lives are better and more nourishing. Our lives are not only good, but also more courageous than them. We dare to farm under their noses. Invisibly, their generals are a little cowardly because we have done what they dare not do!"

Listening to his words, the generals standing upright and straight began to look around...

Seeing that everyone was not speaking, Yao Shan pulled his younger brother beside him. Yao Yong had no choice but to shake his shoulders, as if he was not so afraid to speak. He stood up and folded his fists.

"We also think the leader is right, yes... But after all, we are under the noses of 100,000 thieves. What if the thief suddenly comes out and we are all arable land again?"

Yao Yong spoke, everyone nodded silently, and Dong Hu smacked his mouth twice.

"Rebel... Well, let's not say 70%. Let's just say the probability of thieves leaving the city before we finish farming... We are talking about the probability of thieves coming out of the city. A small number of soldiers are harassing each other. One or two thousand thieves going out of the city can be used to train soldiers with you and increase their fighting skills. Perhaps by killing, you may not be able to become generals in the land."

"Since Didao came, we all ran to Yuzhong, under the Warriors' city, they did not leave the city to fight for life and death with us, which explained the problem, their hesitation and lack of confidence, and they could not guarantee that a hundred thousand rebels would defeat us, and this is a good thing!"

"They hesitate and have no idea. They will not invest all their troops in the decisive battle with us at one time. They will only use some soldiers to test them. We only need to take out some troops to fight them. Each army takes turns to prepare or fight with them. The remaining people, who should cultivate them, who should build Wubao, and who should train soldiers."

"The brave ones who fight against each other win!"

"No matter the final victory or defeat, before the war, we must firmly believe in ourselves and believe that we are invincible! At this time, it is a battle of courage between the two armies. What about the Han Empire? The other side is just a group of thieves and a group of mobs. During the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people made countless rebellions, and in the end they all suffered a crushing defeat. So they hesitate and cowardly. At this time, if we retreat, it will increase their confidence and become increasingly difficult to defeat."

Everyone nodded silently, as if they had agreed with this statement.

Dong Hu smiled again and said, "It is not enough to have firm confidence in winning. We must be cautious. We must consider the worst case, prepare more fully, and also consider retreating at any time, such as the camp when we came, where we were the cattle, sheep, food and supplies along the way."

Everyone was stunned. When the mercenaries first entered the camp, they were told to run away at any time. Everyone was most worried that the logistics supplies would be unexpected and turned into another Yan Xing who had been stolen from the camp. After hearing this, they suddenly woke up and understood why he built so many camps.

Dong Hu said: "We have 130,000 cattle and sheep, 70,000 stones of food, and cattle and sheep are all cubs, regardless of whether it is this food alone is enough to ensure that we fight for a year. However, cattle and sheep are not food and need to be stocked. Now there are countless people who are in poverty due to war. We can use 70,000 stones of food to recruit some people to help herd sheep, which will also enrich the defensive forces of the rear baggage battalion."

"Seventy thousand stones of food, based on the daily consumption of four kilograms of grain per person, 70,000 stones of food can support 7,000 soldiers for a year. It is impossible for those rebels to not fight us for a year. The war will definitely break out within three to five months. In other words, 70,000 stones of food can recruit 14,000 soldiers or the people will be strong."

When everyone heard this, everyone couldn't sit still. It was originally 15,000 people, but now it can add 14,000 people. Wouldn't that mean that they have 30,000?

There are 14,000 people guarding the retreat, and 15,000 people can run away at any time. Are you still afraid of a bird? Before others' faces are red and their necks are thick, Sun Niu can stand up.

"The big leader said that he would do whatever he wanted, and his first mercenary battalion would do whatever he wanted. There was absolutely no coward!"

Hu San secretly regretted it and stood up without waiting for Hua Xiong to react.

"It seems like everyone else is coward, which one is our third battalion afraid of?"

Hua Xiong felt bitter in his mouth, but after his subordinates suffered a loss, they had to get up and hold their fists.

"The leader has made a decision, but no one dares to question it, but... who will command the baggage battalion behind us?"

As soon as the words came out, the generals of the Dong army and the mercenary army looked at Dong Hu with all their eyes.

Dong Hu smiled and said, "Since Didao came out, we have discussed with the eldest son. The eldest son will preside over the matter of the 14,000 baggage camp, with Uncle Zhong, Uncle Fourth, Uncle Yang and others assisting him. I think there will be no big trouble."

When everyone heard him say this, even if they were a little disappointed, they had to nod.

"Paipa."

Dong Hu patted his palm twice, stood up and stood up.

"That's all the big things. From now on, we will start preparing for farming. All battalions and teams must strictly abide by military rules and regulations, carefully appease the morale of the army, take time as much as possible to practice fighting skills, and practice cooperation between the teams frequently. Even if they are broken up, they can form a military formation as soon as possible."

"It is related to your honor and disgrace, your lives, and the life and death of your brothers behind you. You must not be careless. If anyone dares to respond to the story, don't blame us for the strict military law!"

A group of generals stood up and held their fists together.

"promise!"

Dong Hu didn't say much anymore and walked out of the central army's tent. As soon as he left, the tent was overturned by the noisy and quarrels of the central army.

He was worried about defeat before he could win and thought about the worst outcome as much as possible. As Dong Hu said, when he left Didao, Dong Mao had already responded to the general manager of the baggage battalion.

Dong Mao was neither stupid nor stupid, so he naturally knew the benefits of commanding 14,000 people. However, after Dong Zhuo learned about this, Huangfu Song learned about it, he became a little chewy.

Dong Zhuo seized the power to quell the rebellion for 5,000 soldiers, but he lost two or three thousand when he fought with Yan Xing. He did not have three thousand soldiers yet. Now, Dong Hu can use 15,000 soldiers, and Dong Mao has to recruit another 14,000...

Who is me and who is my son?

Dong Zhuo was like this, Huangfu Song was like this. Even if the troops were not damaged, the army would only have 12,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion. It was not as high as Dong Hu's 15,000 troops. After adding another 14,000, the court's troops would be multiple...

Who is the general of the imperial court to quell the rebellion?

He was so angry that he had been delaying the arrows he had promised to do so again and again. Dong Hu was so angry that his stomach was bulging but helpless.

Fourteen thousand baggage soldiers or civil servants are a huge cake. Not only Dong Zhuo wants to intervene, but Huangfu Song and Li Kuan also want to fight for each other privately, but Dong Zhong and Yang Yi and his veterans don’t care about these. Even if the five hundred dowry-in-law were old and lost their ambitions, it does not mean that they hope that their nephews will always be slaves and servants. While others are still fighting for generals, these old people recruit civil servants in trouble in Didao, who are in trouble and civil servants who are in control of food and accommodation.

Just four kilograms of food a day are required to eat, and they also face unpredictable dangers of life and death. No one would agree. However, when war comes, there are too many people who cannot eat, either starve to death or exchange their lives for a future that no one knows.

The recruitment conditions are very low, but there are many people who apply for it, not only men, but also more women. When mercenaries were recruited in Dido City that day, women were recruited, and it became a joke in others' mouths. But the reality is cruel. There are more women who can't eat, and women under the war are even more miserable!

The baggage troops were a little short, including old and young, men and women, and some even had a meal to raise two people. For example, a woman with a baby, there were too many situations in the northwest, especially during the war, Dong Mao turned a blind eye to this and arranged them in a camp near Didao as much as possible.
