What was in front of Sun Quan at this moment was nothing but an army, they were just beggars! Everyone was dirty and in rags, and the uniform decoration that Sun Quan imagined everyone wearing a yellow scarf on their heads was not there at all. Moreover, the beggars mentioned here are real beggars, not the gang of beggars on TV who just wear rags but walk neatly. Looking at it, most people are extremely thin and sick, as if they are going to collapse at any time. How can such people have fighting ability on the battlefield?
This is no longer a gap in equipment at all, okay! There is no armor on the body, and most of the weapons are sharpened wood, and there are very few with knives. Although Sun Quan also knows that there must be some well-equipped elites in the Yellow Turban Army. After all, they have attacked so many places, and they should have robbed a lot. , but those so-called elites are really pitiful when viewed from the entire base.
This was enough. Sun Quan could see that such an army had no training at all. To be precise, they didn't even have a military camp. Whether it is Jiangdong Army or other armies, they all have special military camps, which are managed uniformly by soldiers, and family members can often only visit them once a month. But as for the so-called Yellow Turban Army here, Sun Quan could see countless women, children, disabled people and the elderly. Such a group of people obviously did not belong to combatants. They lived here. This state of integration of military and civilians made Sun Quan feel like the Mongols on the grassland. Every family usually lives in a yurt. When there is a war, all the young and strong people transform into fighting forces, grab weapons, and go directly to the battlefield.
Of course, this is just a nice thing to say. The Yellow Turban Army in front of him is much more difficult than the yurt in Sun Quan's impression. The people here are basically refugees. They go to the battlefield not to fight, let alone to defend their home and country, but to fight to the death!
"How about it, young master of the Sun family, what do you think after seeing this?" Guan Hai said to Sun Quan. Guan Hai waved his hands and showed Sun Quan everything in front of him, "What you see here is only a small part. I Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there are millions of people up and down! We live this kind of life every day! Let so many people live in such misery and precarious life, what qualifications do you think that person surnamed Liu has to be such a person? emperor!"
After all, he came from modern society. The scene in front of him made Sun Quan feel a little bit of pity for no reason. Sun Quan almost changed his mind and lured these poor people to Jiangdong. In history, didn't Cao Cao also recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans? Couldn't Jiangdong be able to absorb these people? But soon, reason interrupted Sun Quan's fantasy. It is not easy to feed so many people. We cannot underestimate the pressure Cao Cao faces. After going to Jiangdong, it is a huge problem where to carve out territory for these millions of people to survive. This will affect the interests of local families. , and even within the Sun family, Sun Quan may not necessarily be supported. In addition, the people of Jiangdong are not necessarily willing to accept this group of outsiders. Think about how many social problems Europe will face when it accepts refugees in future generations. Yellow turban thieves Yellow turban thieves hide among them countless urban scoundrels who have not received any education. This cannot be taught in one generation or two, and it is difficult to manage. This will inevitably increase the number of public security cases in Jiangdong. In the end, if Jiangdong is replaced by If the people are full of complaints, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Finally, and the most critical problem, if you want to take so many people to Jiangdong, do you really think that Tao Qian from Xuzhou in the south is blind?
Therefore, if Sun Quan really wants to help the Yellow Turban Army here, he might as well let them really conquer Beihai, and then treat Beihai as his own home to build and protect. Only with a sufficiently stable base can we live and work in peace and contentment.
"How do you usually fight?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
"Just rush forward and fight. How else can we fight?" Guan Hai replied matter-of-factly.
Sun Quan's eyes twitched and his face looked a little bad.
"Victory based on human lives?"
In Sun Quan's imagination, when the orthodox army saw such a Yellow Turban army, they would either be soft-hearted or weak-minded, making the battle unable to continue.
However, Guan Hai shook his head,
"As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Although our people are thin, but in terms of bravery and fearlessness, no army in the world can match us! Those who have been struggling on the line of death, so The energy that explodes is unimaginable to ordinary people.”
Sun Quan's eyes flashed and he said,
"I don't need your people to fight this time. Just surround Beihai. If you don't attack, the city will be in chaos."
Unexpectedly, Guan Hai rejected Sun Quan's proposal.
"I can't do this."
"Why? Do you want your people to die in vain?" Sun Quan expressed disbelief.
Guan Hai suddenly smiled,
"Master Sun, you are our young master, but it seems that you still don't understand. I, the Yellow Turban Army, have very few people who have read books. They don't understand the art of war and tactics, the general trend of the world, and the relationship between the princes. Whether they are strong or weak, they have never thought about the consequences of sending troops to attack. They may not even know who they are fighting every time. So, do you know what is the only reason that drives them to go out to fight?" Without waiting for Sun Quan to think, Guan Hai gave the answer directly: "Plunder! Only by taking back the food can they survive and their families survive. For this, they will ignore anything!"
Sun Quan understood instantly. No wonder Guan Hai didn't worry about how to convince the other Yellow Turban commanders before he came, because if they didn't go out to plunder every once in a while, they wouldn't be able to survive at all. Both sides are hit, it’s just a question of who to hit. Relying on his own prestige, Guan Hai raised his arms and said that he would attack Kong Rong in Beihai, so the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans went to attack Kong Rong in Beihai. As for who Kong Rong was, not many people in the entire Yellow Turbans knew. Yellow turban thief, yellow turban thief, Sun Quan finally knew what this "thief" meant.
"So, it's not that I want them to die, but that our people can't stay around for long. Two or three days should be the limit. After this time, it will be difficult for me to control the situation." Guan Hai sighed.
Sun Quan also understood that it was impossible for the yellow scarf in front of him to obey orders and prohibitions.
For a moment, Sun Quan's chest suddenly felt a little tight. What did that sentence say? I feel sorry for the hardships of the people's lives. I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. In the past, Sun Quan had no lives on his hands. He thought he had adapted to this era, but this time, Sun Quan realized that his extremely casual and even joking decision would lead to the death of hundreds of thousands of people. Losing his life suddenly gave Sun Quan a sense of fear and pressure that he did not dare to move at will.
In the past, Sun Quan was the type who would easily press the atomic bomb button even though he knew how many people would die. Now he finally understood how much weight there was behind this small button.
