The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Discussion on Morale of Mercenaries

"Foreigners tried to test the big man, in fact, it started a few years ago!" Shi Wu knew more, "In the fourth year of Guanghe, the Wuhu barbarians in Jiaozhi rebelled. In the fifth year of Guanghe, the Banchu Man rebelled; in the first year of Zhongping, the Jiaozhi civil rebellion, Jia Cong quelled the rebellion for the governor;

The barbarians from all over the country have obviously realized that the big man has weakened, so they are naturally ready to move.But aside from other places, here in Jiaozhi, the eldest brother governs well, the people recuperate, and all ethnic groups get along peacefully.The change of this group of barbarians is obviously not normal, it may have been premeditated! "

"Could it be the remnants of Liang Long or Wuhu Man?" Shi Hui asked subconsciously.

"It's not impossible! But since they chose to break with the big man, then the rules don't need to be so much concerned. Uncle immediately mobilized troops to settle accounts with them! You take the soldiers under your command and follow uncle to support!" Wu Wenyan frowned immediately, and then smiled at Shi Hui, with a protective attitude.

"Hui actually joined the army, so naturally he is not afraid of taking risks! Fortunately, in the previous battle, the main force of the barbarians was probably disabled by us. Even if there are more than a thousand soldiers left, they are not a threat!" Shi Hui turned to Shi Wu He arched his hands.

"Hahaha, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but you are really capable!" Shi Wu laughed loudly when he heard this, "But don't be too proud, you know, because of the issue of the [-] Han refugees, the barbarian tribes who opposed , but there are two!"

When he said this, his expression couldn't help becoming serious.It's not difficult to understand, since one of them has the possibility of officially rebelling, does the other one have it too? At the same time, how many bystanders are there in Jiaozhi County?
The Han people worked hard to harvest the harvest, and the barbarians, even the barbarians in the north, harvested the harvest from the Han people with the blade in their hands.Especially the Yue people and the barbarians, they always think that this world belongs to them, so it is only a matter of course to get some benefits from the Han people.

"How much money can the family have?" Shi Hui tried to ask.

"I have to ask my elder brother! What is the use of the money?" Shi Wu was taken aback, and then asked back.

"There are hundreds of people in that group of sword and shield soldiers. They don't accept recruitment, but accept employment!" Shi Hui said slowly, "They are all first-class archers and sword and shield soldiers, although they also use bronze weapons!"

"How much does it cost to hire?" Shi Wu immediately became interested.

"It's mainly food and iron ore. Copper mines are also possible, but it's not cost-effective. In terms of money, it is estimated to cost a thousand guan! The part that can be hired is about 500 people! I asked, whether it is a war or a battle, it doesn't matter, it's just this If we need to provide military rations, they will bring three days' worth of dry rations!" Shi Hui said slowly.

In fact, he also said that copper ore and even other metals seem to be regarded as iron ore by default, and the exchange ratio is ten catties of metal to one unit of iron ore.It can be seen that this iron ore is not a real iron ore, but a borrowed name for metal ore.

It's just that compared with ten catties of iron ore, ten catties of copper mine seems to be a bit of a loss.At the same time, Shi Hui is also very curious. It is obviously the Bronze Age, but this thing is made of iron ore. Why does it feel weird... It's a pity that he has no way to check the process of forging weapons and armor, otherwise he may be able to see something Clue.

"It's okay, I'll write a letter and tell my brother right away! It's just this contact, or should I find the sword and shield soldier? Where is the village?" Shi Wu replied firmly at first, and then suddenly asked a question.

"I met their villagers outside the city by chance. They looked like soldiers of the army. They acted suspiciously. I even had a fight with them. I didn't know they were villagers until I contacted them. It's just that they live in seclusion. Where is the village? I don’t know.” Shi Hui shook his head, “Mostly we need a middleman to get in touch with them and then complete the transaction. However, there are quite a few villagers from their village in our team, so we just need to send someone back to contact them.”

"Alright!" Shiwu nodded, and found a soldier of the sword and shield soldier to explain the matter.The latter's IQ can also keep up, so he didn't agree immediately, he just said to go back and ask the elders of the clan.

Shiwu didn't raise any supplies either, they just negotiated with the other party initially, and decided to buy 2000 units of grain, 1000 units of iron ore, and 1000 units of gold as a price to hire their clan soldiers.

At the same time, after the sword and shield soldier left, he secretly sent people to follow him, intending to find out the location of the village.According to Shi Hui, then this village is not too far away from Longbian, with such a powerful forging technology, and a village with such powerful clan soldiers. In this sensitive period, Shi Wu is not at ease, and Shi Xie is also not at ease.

Who knows, about an hour and a half later, the two soldiers sent out to follow the sword and shield soldiers came back with their heads down.Inquiring about the situation, they only said that they were following in the mountains and forests, and a person around the corner disappeared. They searched around for a long time, but they couldn't even find any traces.

"It seems to have disappeared out of thin air!" The two said at the same time.

"Hmph, you guys can't keep up with others, and you still have the nerve to make excuses? Stop talking nonsense, and go get the Ten Army sticks!" Shi Wu waved his hand, and these two unlucky soldiers were about to suffer.

After a beating, whether the two soldiers were wronged or whether they were hiding something can be seen in the process of beating.Few people can still display the actor's deception skills when they are in pain, and they can always show their flaws.

Many county magistrates beat the board at every turn, not necessarily for the sake of torture. As for imitating the example, the result is that they imitate others and end up being called cruel officials, then no one can blame them.

"This village is interesting, but I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend!" Shi Wu thought for a while, then wrote another letter and sent it.

After a night like this, the main force arrived the next day, and 3000 people gathered together.Soldiers and warriors had to criticize the barbarians for their untrustworthy, unreasonable and unreasonable behavior, and finally came to a conclusion: if they don't give them some color, they really think that we are easy to bully!

The soldiers were quickly encouraged. They may have some Yue or barbarian blood, but they have always regarded themselves as Han people.The ancestors have been the conquerors of this land for generations, the rulers and all the people, naturally cannot tolerate the provocations of these barbarians.

"Uncle is so powerful, he mobilized morale so quickly!" Shi Hui couldn't help admiring.

"Actually, there is no pre-battle encouragement!" Shi Yuan shook his head, "As the saying goes, the first is prosperous, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. If there is too much encouragement, it will lose its effect. It's just that when the soldiers just arrived, some Fatigue, if they don't boost their morale, they will easily panic when they are attacked. Look now, their attention has begun to concentrate. Even if the barbarians hide in the mountains and plan to sneak attack, the difficulty will increase A lot."

"Is there still this learning?" Shi Hui couldn't help being taken aback.

"Many things can be learned from books, but how to act depends on the actual situation. Mencius said, 'It is better to have no books than to believe in books'. This is what he said!" When it comes to these things, it's clear and logical.

　There are two changes a day, one new book period is not easy to update too much, and the other is a part-time writing, and the workload of a serious job is heavy.

　　It will be updated on weekends depending on the situation, but it also depends on the situation.But I have to keep doing two updates a day.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
