Chapter 0123: Emptying Jiujiang County This Time?!!
When Lu Su thought about it, he also felt that he had to explain it to the other martial generals, after all, the people who had turned to him before did not have such a high reward, so as not to have a pimple in his heart, he handed over his hand, “Don’t worry, I will explain it to them.” ”
That night, Qin Yilu invited the generals to a banquet and introduced Yan Yi and Mu Dai to everyone, and the two were drunk.
On the second day, in the council hall of General Zhennan’s mansion, the generals were sitting in front of each other, and Qin Yilu looked at Chen Gong, “Military master, announce.” ”
Chen Gong cleared his throat, “Our army now has more than 140,000 troops, but the total population of Lujiang County is only more than 600,000, and the ratio of soldiers to civilians has reached 15 to 1, which is very stressful. ”
When the generals heard it, they all felt a lot of pressure.
After Qin Yilu and the others digested it, he took over the conversation, “The military master told you this, not to worry you, I am telling you a news, we have purchased excess grain from the people through grain stocks, and now our army’s grain storage has reached more than 1.5 million stones, and it will be harvested again in late autumn, enough to eat for a few years!” ”
Having food in troubled times means that there is security, and the hearts of the generals are much more secure.
Qin Yilu said again, “Now there is a lot of food, there are 40,000 soldiers, and there are few people, everyone ~ talk about what to do.” ”
Gan Ning took the lead in standing up, his eyes shining, “Lord, we will rob if the people are few!” ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, all pointing at Gan Ning, the meaning is obvious, you are worthy of being a water thief, you know to rob.
Gan Ning was a little aggrieved, “We have food here, the people will not go hungry when they come, and they will be grateful to me!” ”
Others seemed to have some truth when they heard it.
Qin Yilu continued, “Xingba is right, but we have to call for salvation, the people have no food to eat, we give them grain to eat, and then lend them cattle, and divide the land for them to cultivate.” ”
Everyone nodded and said, “That’s what the Lord said! ”
Gan Ning was even more depressed, “The same thing, it’s all robbery, how can it come out of the lord’s mouth, and it will become tall!” ”
“Lord, worthy of being the lord, subordinates obey you!”
Gannin hurriedly arranged.
“Sycophants!”
Lu Meng muttered.
Gan Ning glared angrily.
Qin Yilu waved his hand and continued, “As for where to grab it, let’s talk about it.” ”
Gao Shun came out, “Lord, our army used to come to Lujiang from Xuzhou, and there were tens of thousands of people living in Jiujiang, Huainan, where your good name has always been preached, and you can send people to Jiujiang County.” ”
Lu Su also said, “Lord, Jiujiang County still has a population of more than 500,000, except for Shouchun, which was occupied by Liu Fu, the Yangzhou assassin sent by Cao Cao, the rest of the places are in a state of separate administration, and after the Lord goes, the people will inevitably obey.” ”
Tai Shici came out at this time, “Lord, Huainan has abundant rain and countless good fields, why don’t we occupy Jiujiang County?” ”
Qin Yilu looked at Pang Tong, “Shiyuan, what do you think?” ”
Pang Tong hugged his fist and said, “Lord, what General Taishi said is very correct, as long as the Lord runs Jiujiang County, in a few years, it will definitely become a granary.” ”
Everyone nodded, Huainan waited well before Yuan Shu came, and after Yuan Shu came, the conquest was violent, and the people were not living, and it became the current ruined scene.
Pang Tong continued, “But the geographical location of Jiujiang County is a fatal flaw, it borders Xuzhou to the east, Jiangdong to the south, Yuzhou to the northwest, and my Lujiang River to the west, the land of four battles, and the future must be the main battlefield of Cao Cao and Sun Ce. ”
Qin Yilu answered, “What Shi Yuan said is very much, even if we occupy Jiujiang, in the future, both ends will be angry, Cao Cao will go south, and Sun Ce will beat us when he goes north, and he will definitely be tired and exhausted.” ”
All the generals thought it was true, and they all gave up the tempting idea of occupying Jiujiang County.
Qin Yilu continued, “In the chaotic times, land is important, but more importantly, more than 500,000 people in Jiujiang County are the greatest wealth, now there are many bandits in Jiujiang, Chen Qian, Mei Cheng, Lei Xu and several old generals of Yuan Shu each have 20,000 or 30,000 troops, with a population of nearly 100,000, what should everyone say?” ”
“Hit, hit hard, rob them of the population!”
Old Lu Meng shouted passionately.
Everyone laughed, and Gan Ning stood up at this time, “Manghan, break in!” We call the people rescued in the fire and water, and the people, under the rule of the three of them, must not have enough to eat, and they will not be able to eat warmly! ”
Lü Meng’s face was red and ears were red, and he was despised by Gan Ning, and he couldn’t find a rebuttal, so he was too uncomfortable, and he could only glare at Gan Ning angrily with round eyes.
Gan Ning did not show weakness and glared back.
“Okay, I’ll announce the plan now,” Qin Yilu stopped the pair of happy wrongdoers, “Gao Shun! Xu Huang! ”
“The subordinates are here.”
“Let the two of you lead your headquarters to take Su Fei’s ship, escorted by the Gan Ning Navy Division, from Longgan Lake, into the Yangtze River, into the Pushu River into Chao Lake.”
“No.”
“Gao Shun led the army to the east, cleared the bandits in Liyang, Quanjiao, and Dongcheng, recruited the people, and must move all the people here, do not use force, propaganda is the mainstay, and emphasize the brutality of the Cao army and the imminent southward departure.”
“No!”
Qin Yilu looked at Lu Su again, “Zijing, you are from Dongcheng, let’s go over this time, you and the villagers said, I, Qin Yilu, promise to divide the fields and grain to ensure their safety.” ”
Lu Su, as the second generation of grain, used to be in his hometown, and the villagers came to him to borrow grain, he was the one who did not refuse, and his prestige was very high!
Lu Su threw up his hands and said, “Lord, your subordinates will not fail in their mission!” ”
“Good!”
“Xu Huang listened to the order, you lead the infantry to station in Hefei, and when I lead the cavalry to arrive, go in the direction of Chengde and Shouchun. Lu Dai also led a thousand people from his headquarters to follow you. ”
“No!”
“Su Fei, you are responsible for transporting the soldiers, and then transporting the people back to Lujiang.”
“No!”
“Gan Ning, Lü Meng, you two are responsible for protecting and monitoring the Jiangdong and Jiangxia water armies along the way!”
“No!”
The two said in unison.
“Okay, Tai Shi Ci!”
“The end is coming!”
“You are responsible for the defense of Xunyang City, and you must protect Xunyang City and the safety of the people.”
Tai Shici originally thought that he was not assigned and was disappointed, but when he found that Qin Yilu handed over the most important base camp to himself, he balanced his heart and said loudly, “Don’t worry, your subordinates will definitely protect Xunyang City!” ”
“Okay, Li Yan!”
“Subordinates are here!”
“You lead a thousand sergeants and 20,000 people to the area of Songzi, build houses, plan fields, I will resettle 100,000 Jiujiang people to you, you must ensure that after they come, there are homeowners and food, can you be competent?”
Li Yan was excited in his heart, he had just surrendered, he had obtained the position of county magistrate, and now he had given him such an important task, he said categorically, “Don’t worry, your subordinates guarantee to complete the task!” ”
“Good!”
“Now everyone will go back, prepare for each other, and leave tomorrow!”
Promise!
The next day, Qin Yilu bid farewell to all the women, took Lu Lingqi, and Wu Yu led more than 4,000 cavalry, and went towards the city of Anhui…
