Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Eat a full meal, eat a good meal is benevolence

……

Fazheng is not an idiot either, he just kept thinking about ways to defeat the Yellow Turbans before, and didn't pay attention to other things. When Chen Xi mentioned it, he immediately understood what the biggest problem was.

There are more than one million yellow scarves that are eaten out of Qingzhou now, and once they enter Qingzhou, there will be more yellow scarves. It can be said that there are more than 200 million women, children, old and weak, and there is no pressure. Once one of the five grain-producing areas, If it is not dilapidated, the population may be even higher.

Fazheng's complexion was extremely ugly, and he already understood the disadvantages of continuing to think about finding the best solution, because time was running out, and once the danger line of mid-May was crossed, even if Chen Xi had all-powerful means, he would not be able to start farming before the end of June.

Once it is too late to garrison the fields, the captives brought by the defeated Yellow Turbans will be directly converted into burdens, and once the people have no food, then rebellion is a matter of one sentence. No, do you still want to take off? All of Chen Xi's plans revolve around Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and his population.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei is deceiving or putting on a show, there is no difference between pretending to be benevolent and righteous all his life and being true.

"So let's use your previous method. The bigger the loss, the bigger it will be. This time, Qingzhou occupies about [-]% of Qingzhou. Next year, we can basically swallow the entire Qingzhou. In this way, my grand strategy can If it is carried out reluctantly, if it is carried out earlier, one more life can be saved." Chen Xi patted Fazheng on the shoulder, "As a counselor, don't just focus on the battle situation, the situation outside the field is also very important."

Just as Chen Xi expected, the three little Qushuai of the Yellow Turban would not be able to fight together. After all, there is not enough food and each has a lot of manpower. If Liu Dai hadn't crossed the state to attack the Yellow Turban, the three of them would have died before they left Qingzhou. All divided.

In addition, the Yellow Turban itself is equivalent to an unorganized refugee group. The entire team is extremely scattered, and internal conflicts often occur. Beggars looting everywhere, but the number of beggars is huge...

Ever since Chen Baifu and the three of Qian were overthrown, they each took hundreds of thousands of men to plunder everywhere. However, Yanzhou was poor and there was not much food at all. Soon they set their sights on Mount Tai, and then they all marched towards Mount Tai. However, because the respective teams are too large to control, the so-called advances are actually wave after wave.

It can be said that except for Fuyun, Chen Bai, and Houqian, who thought they were elite with tens of thousands of handle weapons, or elite infantry with a piece of armor, the others were actually completely coerced refugees, or because they had nothing to eat to follow suit. The refugees who came to grab some food.

To deal with such unorganized, disciplined, and unarmed thieves and bandits, Guan Yu led the Chinese army to crush all the way, and directly defeated all the yellow scarves encountered. Of course, some saw that Guan Yu was not very vicious and directly asked to surrender.

For this kind of situation, Chen Xi doesn’t care if the other party is a spy or not, and they will all be handed over to Sun Guan at the rear. Anyway, all the rear is under military control, and those who make trouble will be killed regardless of whether they have a reason or not. In Qingzhou, Chen Xi asked Zhao Yun and Tai Shici to bring at least [-] people to the farm Soldiers, these field soldiers can't go to the battlefield, and militarized management is still possible, and Chen Xi doesn't mind dying a batch, so please be safe at this time, as long as someone makes trouble, they don't need to go to trial, and they will be directly sentenced to death.

It's not that Chen Xi can't do things like heavy codes in troubled times. When necessary, Chen Xi thinks that he can do eleven blows and kills. As long as the situation can be stabilized, Chen Xi will not mind using some extreme methods.

"Yun Chang, how many refugees have we gathered?" Chen Xi felt that now he was fighting with the wind to pick up prisoners.

"There are about 20 refugees, and most of them are young and strong and healthy women!" Guan Yu said excitedly. Although this kind of battle does not have too many big battles, it is the best way to earn military merits.

"Camp up and rest. In the evening, steamed buns in broth, order Yide, Zilong, Ziyi, and Zhongtai to return to the camp for discussion!" Chen Xi ordered to Guan Yu.

"Yes, set up camp on the spot, bury the pot for cooking, make meat soup at night, and guard the camp!" Guan Yu ordered to the messenger.

Speaking of meat soup, forget about beef, mutton is too expensive, and there is not enough pork, but there is still some chicken and duck. Anyway, chickens hatch from eggs, and they can be slaughtered after a few months. The flock of chickens was handed over to Chen Xi's servants to raise them outside the city. After a while, they were slaughtered to fill up the army rations and improve their food. Therefore, for this group of soldiers who had never seen meat before, it was really good to have meat to eat.

Lu Su and Liu Ye also complained about the improvement of food. After all, it is not bad for a soldier in this era to be able to eat enough. After a while, he will replenish meat. How much money will he burn?

As a result, after Chen Xi did some calculations, Lu Su and Liu Ye felt that it was better to replenish meat for the big soldiers on time, and it didn’t cost much. If they fed more, they would grow stronger, and if they had a sense of identity with the food, they wouldn’t be deserters. Well, even if you become a deserter and go to other princes, you are used to eating meat once every ten days, and you go to eat pig food from other princes, maybe you can still fool a few soldiers from other princes back.

Turning a recruit into a veteran is much more costly than feeding the veteran and training him so that he doesn't die, and the combat power of the veteran is several times that of the recruit, so it's better to find a way to keep the veteran from fleeing and dying Oh, well, Chen Xi doesn't believe it anymore, which prince can give meat to the big soldiers twice a month, not to mention that chickens and ducks are worthless, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not.

After this idea was studied by Lu Su and Liu Ye, they could only say "How is your brain structured, Zichuan?" very effective.

Soldiers in this era just want to make a living, and the good ones can get some military pay. As for where to serve as soldiers, there is nothing to say, so it is not impossible for soldiers like this to win over their subordinates with a bite or two of meat. Quite the opposite, very likely!

Every time there is meat to eat, it is the most exciting time in the military camp. Not only is the smell of meat wafting all over the camp, but even the refugees outside are aroused by greed.

A large number of refugees gathered outside the barracks. Although it was a dark crowd, none of them dared to attack the barracks. They could only wait outside silently. Someone had stormed the barracks a few days ago.Every time, he was crushed into a pulp by the opponent.

After that, the refugees learned to be smart. After all, at this time every day, someone would come out to gather the refugees, and then take away those who were willing to go with the officers and soldiers, saying that they were going to the rear to divide the fields and seeds.

Of course, most of the refugees don’t believe these words, but every day there are people who succumb to hunger because they can’t bear it, and surrender to the officers and soldiers with the idea that even if they are pulled to the rear and made into jerky, they are at least a hungry ghost. There were also some refugees who had heard about Mount Tai's situation, and they came to surrender when they saw the banner of Mount Tai, and there were also some dark sons who advocated Xuande's benevolence and justice brought a large number of young and strong to vote, in short, there were all kinds of things.
