"These elites should join my guard first."
Qin Hao had decided to bring over these elite soldiers to form his own guard. Although Qin Hao also wanted some officers to come over, he was too embarrassed to ask in the end.
The Yanmen Army is promoted based on merit, and those who can become officers must have strong combat capabilities. But since they are officers, why would they be willing to come over and serve as Qin Hao's guard?
"Well, counting the five reduced generals, the guard already has fifty people. There are still five more commanders missing. I wonder if General Gao Shun can you recommend a suitable candidate?"
Qin Hao did not directly call the name of the guard. The name Jiulong Guard is still unknown. After all, the dragon is a symbol of imperial power. As the son of a border general, it is indeed a bit cheating to give such a treasonous name to his guard.
Therefore, the name Jiulongwei will only be called by Qin Hao in his heart for a long time in the future. However, Qin Hao is not prepared to change his name. His goal is to overthrow the Han Dynasty. If he does not even dare to take a more explicit name, what will he do? How can we talk about taking the Han Dynasty and replacing it? Sooner or later, Kowloon will become famous all over the world.
When Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and other generals in the hall heard Qin Hao say that he wanted to collect these elite soldiers into his own guard, they frowned slightly at first, but then relaxed.
Qin Hao's move was actually a bit reckless, and it was suspected of usurping the power of his subordinates. If someone who did not have enough control over the army did this, there might even be a mutiny in the army, but this kind of thing is definitely not allowed in the Yanmen Army. may happen.
First of all, the entire Yanmen Army was loyal to only one person, and that was Qin Wen, the prefect of Yanmen and Qin Hao's father.
Secondly, the number of people Qin Hao wants is not large. Although it will reduce the combat power of the enemy camp and the military camp, it is not a serious problem.
The most important point is that the safety of the young master is above all else. The young master mobilizes elites to form his own guard. Not to mention Gao Shun, even Qin Wen has no reason to stop him.
Following the young master, although he is only a personal guard at the moment, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. Gao Shun will naturally not block the future of his soldiers, so he immediately said seriously: "Hu Yan (yàn), the guard of the trapped camp, beheaded two people in this battle. Eleven, you can do whatever you want.”
After Zhang Liao thought for a moment, he stood up and said, "Niu Xin, the knight who broke the barracks, will behead twenty-three people in this battle. I can leave it to him."
After feeling the pleading eyes of the garrison general, Qin Yong stood up with a wry smile and recommended: "Guangwu garrison Hou Yao (yáo), behead twenty people in this battle, you can leave it to him."
Qin Hao was overjoyed when he heard this. He beheaded twenty people in one battle. This was definitely the strength of a second-rate general. Unexpectedly, he dug out three of them at once. It was really a treasure to trap and break the military camp!
"Okay, let's have three people. This soldier named Hou Yao is very good. Let's see who dares to say that there are no warriors in the defense army!"
The faces of the garrison generals immediately improved a lot when they heard this. Although the garrison only occupied one of the forty-five positions, it occupied one of the five chiefs. This Hou Yao could be regarded as saving some face for the garrison.
"Gao Shun, how are you handling the affairs of the Wang family and the other five major families?"
The Wang family and the five major families openly rebelled, and the outcome was already determined. Qin Hao's question was just a formality.
When Gao Shun heard this, he thought Qin Hao was going to ask about the seizures, so he immediately reported: "All the members of the six major families have been arrested, and all their property has been confiscated. The proceeds from the confiscation of the six families by our army this time are still being counted. But there should be roughly..."
"Okay, no need to report everything one by one."
Before Gao Shun finished his report, he was quickly interrupted by Qin Hao.
Gao Shun is good at everything, but he is a bit too honest. How could such a good thing about sharing the spoils be said in front of so many people present? You should tell Qin Hao secretly alone.
Qin Hao didn't know how much wealth the Wang family and the five major families had, but he knew that the land property alone was enough to recover the losses in this war. And with such a large amount of wealth, in Qin Hao's hands, he can do a lot of things.
You must know that although the Qin family is rich, its expenses are also high. Although most of the military pay for the soldiers is not paid by the Qin family, the guards and pensions are all borne by the Qin family. Now that such a windfall has fallen from the sky, Qin Hao naturally It’s impossible to let it go, it’s possible to let it go!
"Half of all the seizures will be handed over to the Treasury, and the other half will be used to trap the camp and destroy the next round of expansion of the military camp!"
Qin Hao himself felt so hypocritical. Although he said it was turned over to the treasury, it would definitely end up in his own pocket, but Qin Hao figured it out later.
I don’t use this money to enjoy myself, but to strengthen my own power. As my subordinates become stronger, won’t the Yanmen Army also become stronger!
Zhang Liao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately half-knelt down and said, "Thank you, young master!"
With such a fortune, even a thousand troops would probably be too much, let alone 800. How could Zhang Liao not be happy about doubling the army at once?
Gao Shun frowned when he heard this and said, "Young Master, isn't this a bit against the rules?"
In Gao Shun's mind, the trapped camp will be truly invincible if it reaches 3,000 people. Therefore, Gao Shun also wants the trapped camp to expand its organization quickly. However, the Yanmen Army has military regulations, and any capture must be captured first. Turn it in, and then distribute it separately based on merit.
Although Gao Shun, the young master, was happy to see the success of this move, it violated Yanmen's military regulations after all, so he came out to persuade him.
Qin Hao laughed at Gao Shun's advice nonchalantly.
"My father won't care about such trivial matters. I will take care of anything."
"But"
"Alright, Gao Shun, before the southeastern ambush troops come back, I will leave my fifty-man guard to you for training. They will train according to the formation. You must train me as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, there are also helpers. I'll pick out another one from those five generals. Well, let's do it now!"
"promise."
Seeing that the young master has made up his mind. Gao Shun sighed helplessly, then turned and left.
After sending Gao Shun away, Qin Hao said to Qin Yong: "Qin Yong, go and detain Wang Shichong's family in isolation and try to give them better treatment, especially Wang Shichong's daughter and Shan Xiongxin's wife Wang Yingying, absolutely not Neglect."
"Young Master, if you want to recruit Shan Xiongxin to surrender, just keep Wang Yingying. Rebellion is a major crime against the nine tribes. If you hide so much secretly at once, it may be difficult for the Lord to explain it to you!" Qin Yong advised worriedly.
Qin Hao smiled lightly and explained: "Of course this is not just to recruit Shan Xiongxin to surrender. Wang Shichong is not that simple. Keeping his family behind may be useful in the future. Well, the task of persuading Shan Xiongxin to surrender will be left to you."
"No!" Qin Yong responded with clasped fists after thinking for a moment, then turned and left.
"Zhang Liao, the reorganization of the prisoners will be left to you. You go and collect all the prisoners into the death camp. They will still need their help to fight against the Huns."
Hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately persuaded with a grimace: "Young Master, these prisoners were all lured by the Wang family and joined the rebel army after being confused. Moreover, most of these people are either ruffians or hooligans. Let them deal with the fierce Xiongnu." Cavalry, is there something wrong?"
When Qin Hao heard this, he immediately sneered: "There are some people in this world who are just mean. They can't live a good life, but they have to make themselves uncomfortable. Do you know how General Huangfu Song treats the Yellow Turban prisoners?"
Huangfu Song naturally had only one word for treating the Yellow Turban prisoners, that is, kill!
Zhang Liao's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and Yue Fei on the side interrupted: "Young Master, these prisoners are all Yanmen people!"
"Of course I know that they are all from Yanmen, but the imperial court clearly stipulates that rebels will die, can the people of Yanmen be exempted?"
Yue Fei and Zhang Liao fell silent upon hearing this. The young master was right. This was the rule of the court. Even the master could not stop it, let alone the young master!
"There are only two ways before them now, either to die under the butcher's knife of our army, or to die in a vigorous battle to defend Yanmen. Anyway, they asked for everything!" Qin Hao said coldly! said.
"After this battle, those who are still alive will have their merits and demerits equal. Those who want to go home will go home, and those who want to join the army can also join our Yanmen Army! Those who die will receive a pension according to the standards of our Yanmen Army. !”
At this point, Qin Hao has also exhausted his benevolence and righteousness, and there is nothing Qin Hao can do to force the prisoners to go to the battlefield so urgently.
The next decisive battle with the Huns will be extremely dangerous. To win, a certain number of elite troops must be retained, and this requires a large number of cannon fodder to defend the city to consume the strength of the Huns. If these prisoners cannot be taken, who will be?
In order to deal with the Xiongnu, Qin Hao has resorted to unscrupulous means, but this is also necessary for the growth of an emperor. A true king must do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
"Zhang Liao swears to complete the mission!" Zhang Liao said solemnly, and then strode out.
Although he knew that the task of persuading these prisoners was not easy, Zhang Liao still took it. It was all for Yanmen, so now Zhang Liao is no longer ready to talk nonsense with the people in the prisoner of war camp!
After watching Zhang Liao leave, Qin Hao looked at Yue Fei and said slowly: "Brother Yue, take my token and return to Guangwu immediately and tell Lord Hao Tong to summon all the major families in the city."
"Young Master, are you planning to use the family's private troops to fight against the Huns?" Yue Fei asked.
"Not bad!" Qin Hao smiled.
"Young Master, it is impossible for a noble family to use its own private soldiers to help our army defend the city!"
Qin Hao frowned when he heard this. Judging from the fact that only five big families supported the Wang family's rebellion, the Qin family was still very popular among the families in Yanmen. At least most of the families remained neutral. When Qin Wen was guarding Yanmen, he had borrowed troops from the Yanmen family more than once, so it stands to reason that he should not be unable to borrow troops.
"Oh, why is this? My father has asked the Yanmen family to borrow troops more than once, and they have not refused?" Qin Hao asked with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei immediately smiled bitterly and explained: "If the master is accepted by the Yanmen, the aristocratic families will naturally not dare not to borrow it, but after all, the young master has just joined the army and is too young, so it is inevitable that these aristocratic families will violate the law."
With Qin Hao's wisdom, he couldn't understand the meaning of Yue Fei's words. To put it bluntly, he was young and lacked qualifications. Those family heads did not take him seriously at all, and he was not qualified to ask for troops from the aristocratic family.
Qin Hao suddenly fell silent after hearing this. After much deliberation, he couldn't think of any good solution. After sighing, he said lightly: "You go back to Guangwu first, and you can borrow as much as you can!"
"promise."
Everything Qin Hao did had only one purpose, and that was to deal with the Huns. Now that Qin Hao had sharpened his sword, he could only wait for the 11,000 troops who had ambushed south to return, and then immediately led the army to rush to Yanmen Pass and pointed his sword at the Huns. m.
