"By the way, when we go to conquer the grassland Wuhuan people, Goguryeo people, and Xianbei people, we not only have to take away the horses, but also

Do not let the young women let go of the cattle and sheep, and bring them back together. The cattle are distributed to the people for farming, and the sheep can improve the lives of the soldiers.

Women can be given to the common people as wives for free. Of course, this matter depends on the specific situation. You decide,

Operate without affecting casualties and do not force it."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, we understand."

Zhao Yundao.

"My lord, when we were clearing out the three Koreas on the peninsula, our army seized a large amount of grain and a lot of ginseng, with different ages.

Some are more than ten or twenty years old, and some are thousands of years old. How to deal with this? Either sell the ginseng, and then allocate the money to the soldiers."

Xun You said.

Damn it!

How can ginseng be sold to the outside world? That thing is extremely valuable and can fetch sky-high prices in an auction house.

"Gongda, don't sell it. I'll keep the ginseng. Do you want the money? I'll wait for someone to estimate the price and it will be deducted from my income."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, there are a lot of ginseng, hundreds of ginseng branches, can my lord use it?"

Xun You said.

"Commander Xun, you don't know this. If my lord buys it, the ginseng will be distributed to the generals for training.

Our cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds, mainly due to the ginseng sent by the Lord, which will make our cultivation progress greatly."

Gan Ning said.

"In that case, why should the lord spend money?"

Xun You said.

"Gongda, I can't take advantage of the soldiers. I will pay you every penny."

Qin Qi said.

Xun You wanted to say something else, but Qin Qi raised her hand to stop him from continuing.

Only then did Xun You understand.

Others become officials just to make money, but Qin Qi just throws money away.

For Qin Qi now, money is just a number, and of course it must be used on the blade. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade.

Ginseng can improve the strength of your generals, why not use it?

Qin Qi hoped that everyone would cultivate to the Huagang realm, so that the combat effectiveness of the Xiakou Army would soar and fewer soldiers would die.

In the age of cold weapons, the strength of generals was so important that it would even determine the outcome of a battle.

"My lord, when I was in Xiakou City, I once heard Wen Ruo say that all the money and food for the victims and refugees was my lord's personal money.

The warships used by the Xiakou military, the weapons and armor in the hands of the soldiers were all the lord's personal money. In the beginning,

He thought that the master was playing a role in order to gain a false reputation. Now, I finally understood that the master was planning everything.

They don’t take money seriously at all and use it all to strengthen Jingzhou’s strength.”

Xun You said.

"Gongda, in this world's short life span of just a few decades, people must do something practical and leave something that people can talk about.

If you don't bring money with you when you are alive, and if you don't take it with you when you die, why should you keep it? Leave knowledge and inheritance to your children.

Wouldn't it be great to give them the ability to survive? No matter how much money you leave behind, it will all be lost if you meet a prodigal."

Qin Qi said.

Put down the glass.

"Gongda is right! I am indeed making plans. Since the status quo cannot be changed, we should make more preparations."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, the academy is also part of the layout, right?"

Xun You said.

Um!

“The purpose of establishing an academy is mainly to attract talents, but also to cultivate talents for use and reserve in Jingzhou area.

Once the need arises, don’t worry about talent. Just like the peninsula, if we take it down, we must have talent management.”

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, when do you think we can take over the Liaodong area?"

Xun You said.

Qin Qi started to think.

Fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Boom, boom, boom!

In April 189, Emperor Liu Honghui died. Next, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, wielding power in both the government and the public.

In August, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang.

The period from April to August will be the period when Luoyang's government is at its most chaotic, and no one will care about Liaodong's affairs.

"Gongda, we will send troops to capture the Liaodong area in April next year. The weather will improve in April and we can send troops."

Qin Qi said.

Xun You estimated that there were still ten months before the Liaodong region was captured. During this period, Zhao Yun could indeed train the cavalry division well.

Coupled with the five thousand Xiakou infantry, they have the ability to protect the Liaodong area from barbarian invasion. If Liaodong is captured, more troops can be recruited.

Xun You nodded.

"Gongda, once we capture Liaodong, we will have to endure the invasion of the Wuhuan people, the Goguryeo people, and the big families in Liaodong.

Maybe they will collude with the barbarians, and the situation will not be good. When the time comes, I will send a few more capable generals to the peninsula.

Teach the Wuhuan and Goguryeo people a lesson. If possible, capture the Liaodong region and then Xuande County.

Use bloody methods to drive the Wuhuan and Goguryeo people out of Xuande County. In this way, we occupy three counties.

Deploy defenses along the Liao River to prevent Gongsunzan from attacking in western Liaoning. However, it is up to Gongda himself to decide whether to capture Xuande County, and I am not sure about the situation now."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, if we take over the Liaodong region, the court will definitely impeach you. Then my lord will face a lot of pressure from the court."

Xun You said.

"Gongda, don't worry about this, I will take care of it. But remember one thing, no matter who the court sends,

There was no way for him to come back, and he was robbed by bandits and died on the way. The territory we won with the lives of our soldiers cannot be easily handed over."

Qin Qi said.

"I understand."

Xun You said.

"Gongda, since the time of the expedition is up to you, don't be affected by my official words. Once you decide to win,

Don’t have any worries, even if the Liaodong court sends someone to take charge, we will still have actual control over Liaodong.”

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Xun You said.

"Gongda, once you capture Liaodong, you will face the test of a great war. Only by defeating the Wuhuan people in the northeastern grassland can you win.

Only the Goguryeo and Xianbei people will be respected by the grassland people, and they will not dare to easily take advantage of the Liaodong region."

Qin Qi said.

Xun You nodded.

The survival rule of the grassland people is that the strong is respected.

Only admire the strong and never look down on the weak.

Liu Yu adopted a gentle policy in Youzhou, but the effect was not good.

To put it bluntly, the Wuhuan people, the Goguryeo people, and the Xianbei people benefited from Liu Yu.

No amount of benefits can satisfy a hungry wolf.
