Chapter 2157 Beheading
Meng Huo is powerful because he has gathered a large number of powerful cave masters and national masters.
Yang Feng is one of the several cave owners who are at their peak.
Wu Tugu had 30,000 warriors under his command, and Yang Feng, who was not too far from Menghuo Cave, had as many as 60,000 to 70,000 people in the Zhan tribe.
After asking Meng Huo for the task of blocking Jiang Wei, Yang Feng returned to the cave and ordered his troops to set off the battle immediately.
He only left thousands of people to guard the tribe, and the rest of the warriors went on the battle with a total of as many as 60,000.
Jiang Wei also led the barbarian army forward at this time.
Along the way, they met many barbarian villages.
Whenever he arrives in a village, Jiang Wei will order looting.
When Zhuge Liang was there, he would restrain the warriors after winning, so that they would not rob or kill people, so as to stabilize the area they had already obtained.
Jiang Wei's approach is completely different from that of Zhuge Liang.
He ignored the slightest bit of whether the occupied barbarian villages would rebel in the future.
Because he never thought about staying for these villages.
Cao Shu will merge with the barbarians in the future. The premise for smooth integration is that the number of barbarians must not be greater than that of the people in the Central Plains.
Even the Central Plains people who migrated to the wild areas must maintain a relatively balanced number of people.
In order to achieve the future integration plan of Cao Shu, all Jiang Wei can do is to use the barbarians to reduce the number of barbarians.
So after every victory, he would choose to send people to chase and kill the fleeing barbarians.
Kill one more, and the number of barbarians will be less.
The barbarians and warriors who rushed into the village were like hunting dogs without anyone to control, searching for women and property in the village everywhere.
The village was robbed, and the men almost killed all the women, while they were carried on the horse...
The rushing horse stood beside Jiang Wei, looking at the barbarian warriors who were looting, Xiahou Dun whispered: "Boyue, is it inappropriate for us to do this?"
"The lord's future plan cannot accommodate too many barbarians." Jiang Wei said: "What we can do is to deal with more barbarians for the lord through conquests. When the people of the Central Plains move here in the future, there will be no disadvantage in terms of numbers."
"I have never seen such a thorough looting for so many years." Xiahou Yuan on the other side said: "Even the tribe members robbed them like this. If they were allowed to enter the Central Plains, what would that be?"
"Actually, aren't we people in the Central Plains?" Jiang Wei said: "After many years of war, there are still fewer slaughtering villages and cities in the Central Plains? People in the war are like wild animals. Without goodness and compassion, there are just unscrupulous ways to survive. They are just doing what we all do, but because they are aliens, we feel uncomfortable."
Looking back on the years, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan agreed with what Jiang Wei said.
When the Yellow Turbans were in trouble, the Yellow Turbans caused great chaos in the world. In order to quell the Yellow Turbans, Emperor Ling of Han issued an edict to recruit local brave men to fight against the rebels.
The Yellow Turban Thief shouted loudly when they were in trouble, but the things they did were not so beautiful.
Whenever they arrive at a place, the Yellow Turban thieves will kidnap all the men, women, young and old, and force them to join the Yellow Turban Army. Those who dare to refuse will be killed immediately.
During the reign of Emperor Huanling, disasters occurred in various places. In addition, the government not only did not actively provide disaster relief, but also aggravated the exploitation of the people, and famines were everywhere.
The Yellow Turbans were also rebelling against the incompetent Han court, which should have been supported by many people.
But the vision of the Zhang Jiao brothers and the short-sightedness of the Yellow Turban thief Qu Shuai determine that they can only see the immediate interests. Not only does not protect the interests of the people, but also bring endless fear to the people, so that everyone in danger of the Yellow Turban thief.
The imperial court issued an edict to recruit local tyrants, and many gentry heroes devoted their family property to strengthen their power.
In order to fill their stomachs in troubled times, civilians who have endless fear of the Yellow Turban Thief joined the village tyrants.
The Yellow Turban Army was mostly civilians who were forced to join. These people lacked training and did not have enough food and weapons. Many people even used sticks when fighting. Although they were large in number, their combat effectiveness was normal.
Especially since they have done many evil deeds in various places, the people hated them to the core and even exceeded their hatred for the court.
Without the support of the people, people's hearts cannot be condensed, and the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness is extremely poor.
In just one year, the so-called Yellow Turban Uprising was pacified by the rising gentry forces in various places.
After the Yellow Turban was pacified, all the Qu generals led their troops to fight on their own, and started a tug-of-war with the gentry forces for several years.
During this process, many Yellow Turban thieves surrendered to the court and accepted the so-called Han court's inviting.
The Yellow Turban turbulence that lasted for several years led to a sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains.
If the Han court could take back the military power of the gentry and work hard to rectify the world, the Han Dynasty would not be exhausted, and the people in the world would not suffer from war.
Unfortunately, the newly ascended young emperor was too young and the power was in the hands of the ten eunuchs and the empress dowagers. The battle between the gentry became more and more intense, and eventually formed a situation where each of them held their own troops and fought against each other.
The conquests among the heroes became more and more intense, and the lives of the people were even more difficult than those during the Yellow Turban turbulence.
Don’t the people of the Central Plains regard the lives of their compatriots as if they were grass?
Jiang Wei and others stood in front of the barbarian village.
The villages of the barbarians are different from those of the Central Plains.
Their village is wider and the distance between houses is relatively wider.
Outside the village, you can see clearly what is happening in the village at a glance.
The barbarians and warriors who rushed into the village ran around and killed the men in the village one by one.
The women were carried by them and placed on the horse's back.
The small village was robbed, filled with wailings and crying.
Jiang Wei and others are all generals who have been through the battlefield for a long time. They have seen too many more miserable scenes than they are now.
The crying and wailing of barbarian villagers was filled with the ears, and Jiang Wei was still unmoved.
Until the cave master brought him to him.
"General Jiang, this village has been looted." The owner of the cave said: "All women were stolen by the warriors, and no man was left behind..."
Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment and asked Jiang Wei: "What should I do with the elderly and the children?"
"I'll ask me about this kind of thing?" Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said to the master of the cave, "The master of the cave has also fought wars with the warriors for many years. You should know what to do."
"I understand." The master of the cave agreed and turned back to the village.
A moment later, Jiang Wei heard him shouting: "To avoid future troubles, except for the ones to be taken away, all the rest will be killed."
