Chapter 629: Layout 9 Yuan (Part 1)
Seeing the news of Lu Zhi's illness, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Shi'a's Shadow Guard to find Hua Tuo and other famous doctors. You know, these three old men seemed to have died in 1990, and he quickly asked How's things going with Ji Shi'a?
After getting the news that Shi'a's answer was still being sought, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he had to step up his search for Hua Tuo and the others, otherwise he didn't know how many more years the old men would be able to survive.
Time soon arrived in the evening, and after wandering around for a long time, the two girls finally returned to the small courtyard. Meng Ping also came again to report on the relocation arrangements of the tribe. According to their statistics, about 10,000 people are willing to stay in Jiuyuan, most of them are young men and women, and there are also a small number of elderly people and those who are not suitable to leave their parents yet. The children and others moved to Luoyang for resettlement. After all, the northern Saibei was bitterly cold, and they had heard from generations that the Central Plains was prosperous, so most people were still willing to return to the Central Plains.
Among the ten thousand people left behind, at most two thousand could be recruited as soldiers. Fortunately, the people here were proficient in riding skills, but cavalry alone was not enough. After discussing with Pang Tong, Huangfu Chaobo decided to use cavalry. The Central Plains will transfer some more soldiers and horses, leaving at least about 4,000 soldiers in the city to deal with various situations. The number of 2,000 soldiers and horses is too small. Of course, the Central Plains will mainly transfer infantry, which will be used in the city. defensive.
As for the city, Huangfu Chaobo originally liked the area between Wuliangsuhai and the Yellow River. There is a river connecting Wuliangsuhai and the Yellow River. The length of the river is not long, only more than twenty miles and less than thirty miles long, but It is a very good place for farming. However, there are only a few small villages here, and there is no danger to defend the surrounding area. If you want to build a city here, it will not be possible in a short time, so in the end, you have to settle for the next best thing. Set here at Yangcheng, Xi'an, which is more than fifty miles east. As for the reason, it is the area between Wuliangsuhai and the Yellow River.
After deliberation and decision, Huangfu Chaobo notified everyone in the alliance to go to the alliance channel for a meeting. Who knew that as soon as they entered, Lao Du and Xiao Jiejie proposed that they wanted to go to Jiuyuan for development. Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, but he didn't expect that Xia Ke and Zhao Zilong had persuaded the two of them and were willing to go to Jiuyuan together. However, with the current strength of the three of them, it is okay to just defend a county. If they want to develop, it is probably not enough, because none of the three have strong enough generals and cavalry. You know, when Longhua had the largest number of cavalry in the past, it accounted for half of the total force. The situation is different now, so the number of cavalry has been reduced.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Tell me, what support do you want?"
Lao Du said: "Actually, there is nothing else. We just want to take away five thousand soldiers from the county, preferably one to two thousand cavalry, and the families of these soldiers. If possible, we also want to take them to Jiuyuan." ." After saying this, he felt a little embarrassed.
You know, based on a soldier's family of about four to five people, five thousand soldiers means a population of 25,000 to 30,000. The population of a city in the Central Plains is slightly larger, which is 50,000 or 60,000. In other words, he and Xiao Jiejie and his two men wanted to take away the population of one county from the two counties under Huangfu Chaobo's control.
Currently, among the cities under Huangfu Chaobo's command, except for Luoyang City, which has a population of hundreds of thousands, only the dozen or so counties east of Hulao Pass have a slightly larger population. The other counties under Luoyang's rule only have a population of more than 10,000 each. , there are not even ten thousand people in the cities within Hongnong. Even so, Huangfu Chaobo never thought of transferring people from Guandong to replenish Guan, but now the two of them have to empty out a county.
However, despite these words, the two of them decided to leave Huangfu Chaobo's wings and go out on their own. So although they felt very embarrassed, Lao Du still expressed his thoughts and said: "Boss , Xiaojie and I have been doing things with your help these years. Although it is very easy, we have not been able to help you much. This time, we just have this opportunity. It happens that both Lao Zhao and Xiake are in Bingzhou.
If the two of us go again, all four of us will be taken care of. By then, when we have established a foothold in Bingzhou, we may be able to help you, boss. "
"Yes, yes, boss, just let us try." Xiao Jiejie also said at the side;
After listening to their words, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly remembered a sentence, every man has a dream in his heart to conquer the world. It seems that my strategy needs to be adjusted again. I originally thought of letting the two of them stay in the east, so that they can support one or two if something happens to Chen Liu. It seems that I need to make adjustments. Forget it, let's discuss this with the counselor later.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said: "Okay, don't you all have two thousand soldiers in your county? Let them all learn riding skills quickly. When the war horses arrive, each of your two thousand cavalry will be equipped with a horse in Jiuyuan. There are also five hundred Rhubarb crossbows for you. If there are more, you will need to pay for them. You can also take half of the money and food in the county. If there are five thousand soldiers, you can take them all. As for their families, I suggest you wait until the county seat is occupied before moving."
At this point, Huangfu Chaobo paused again and said: "Let's do this. I have tens of thousands of people in Bingzhou and leave some of them in Jiuyuan. But let's make it clear first that I want to occupy a county, and among these people There are only about four to five thousand soldiers, and the others are old and weak."
"Holy shit, boss, when did you have tens of thousands of people in Bingzhou?" Several people were shocked when they heard that Huangfu Chaobo had tens of thousands of people in Jiuyuan.
"No, no," Xiao Jiejie shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, boss, when did you have tens of thousands of people in Jiuyuan?"
Zhao Zilong and Lao Du also looked at Huangfu Chaobo with their mouths open, but the knight nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
Huangfu Chaobo said: "The knight must have thought of something, right?" He said, smiled, and then said: "Okay, no more charades. I am currently working on a dungeon mission, which is about Qin Wei's Great Wall Legion. After the mission is completed , and nearly 40,000 people who claimed to be their descendants came to join us. Originally, I was planning to send them all back to Luoyang. "
"Looking at your situation now, I guess you can still get a foothold here, but it will be a little difficult to develop for a while. Anyway, it will take time for tens of thousands of people to return to Luoyang, so it is better to find a county to settle down first. At that time, we will move back slowly. However, let me explain in advance that there are only about 10,000 people left in Jiuyuan, and the number of soldiers and horses is about 4,000 and 5,000. Of course, the cavalry should be around 2,000. "
