Chapter 374 Quantitative Change Leads to Qualitative Change
A person's life is like the shadow of a tree. In the hearts of the Hu people, General Gongsun Zan on the White Horse is a figure that can calm a child's tears.
If Gongsun Zan could have spread the word that Bai Ma would not kill Wuhuan or something like that, most of the Hu people would have been willing to change their appearance and become Wuhuan Hu people. Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan's image as a murderous devil who would leave no grass behind was deeply rooted in people's minds, and no one was willing to believe that Gongsun Zan would accept prisoners.
In fact, although Feixiong and Xiandeng made the greatest contributions that night, Bai Ma still killed the most people, especially the Hu people who began to disperse in the later period. Once they were targeted by Bai Ma, they had no way out.
If Gongsun Zan had not been influenced by Liu Yu and realized that these Hu people could still be exploited and were even a renewable resource, he would have killed all of these guys present.
However, for the sake of the overall situation, Gongsun Zan still suppressed his desire to kill. After all, Goryeo in the north was still eyeing them covetously, and they had to drive these Hu people away as soon as possible.
"What a pity that I don't have internal energy leaving my body!" Gongsun Zan looked angrily at the Hu people heading north, feeling upset that his voice could not be heard throughout the battlefield.
"General Gongsun, please don't be upset. We will chase them with all our strength and don't let these Hu people return to the north!" There were clear bloodstains on Hua Xiong's armor. A crazy killing spree made him look like he was fished out of blood.
"The Xianbei army is very large, and we are lucky to repel the Hu people during this chaos. If we continue to chase them, the outcome will be hard to predict!" Gongsun Zan shook his head. Although he was murderous, he still had a comprehensive control over the situation.
There are still more than 300,000 Hu people. If we continue to chase them, it will arouse their bloodiness and cause more casualties.
It would be better to let these barbarians go directly. In the spring of next year, he would personally take a white horse to the grassland to carry out a massacre. At that time, all the tribes that were not united would be killed.
He made a vow in his early years that if the Hu people killed one person in Youzhou, he would kill a hundred Hu people; if the Hu people killed a hundred people in Youzhou, he would kill ten thousand Hu people.
"General Gongsun, you don't know that we have already reoccupied Juyongguan. Now the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are garrisoning there with 14,000 elite troops. Suppressed from both sides, the Hu people will inevitably be in chaos and defeated!" Hua Xiong explained repeatedly.
"I will lead the white horse ahead. After you settle the prisoners, come quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan immediately jumped on his horse, naturally seized the command power from Gongsun Xu, and set out on a white horse to chase the Hu people.
Hua Xiong and Ju Yi were left looking at each other in bewilderment. They had only heard that Gongsun Zan was murderous, but they didn't expect him to be so murderous.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two generals!" Guan Jing smiled and did not follow Gongsun Zan like Yan Gang and others, but stayed to clean up the battlefield.
"The two generals have fought hard all night. Why don't you go into the city and rest for a day before setting off again?" Guan Jing suggested. After all, Juyongguan and Changping were not far away, and with someone stationed at Juyongguan, they would have plenty of time to rest and prepare.
"That's great!" Hua Xiong and Ju Yi hesitated for a moment, and then agreed to Guan Jing's suggestion. After all, they didn't have much time. After destroying the Hu people, they would have to transfer troops north to provide support.
However, it is inevitable that people will be tired and exhausted, and necessary rest is necessary.
"Generals, you can come to me if you need anything. I will certainly not refuse anything that I can do in Youzhou. So I will go and deal with the battlefield first!" After Guan Jing and Hua Xiong finished the handover, they took the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield.
They only joined the battle in the latter half, so their physical strength was relatively intact. Of course, they were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and decompressing the prisoners.
Especially for the surrendered prisoners, it is their first time to accept prisoners, so it is inevitable that they are a little flustered.
…
"The Hu people are indeed vulnerable!"
Guo Hao shook his head after receiving the battle report. It sounded like there were four or five hundred thousand Xianbei Hu people, but they were defeated in one battle. According to Jia Xu's report, Juyongguan was blocked, and these Hu people had no choice but to surrender or die in battle.
"Wenhe's plan is indeed meticulous. It's really a waste of his talent to keep him in Luoyang!" Xun Yu on the other side flattered Jia Xu with ill intentions.
Li Ru glanced at Xun Yu and said, "What you said is true, but everyone can see that you just want to exile Jia Xu."
"The situation in Youzhou is probably fine now. What's the situation in Qingzhou like?" Guo Hao put down the battle report and asked Li Ru.
"The original Goryeo navy did not show up. What showed up were monsters from Japan. They call those things shikigami, and they have caused serious disturbances along the coast." Li Ru said speechlessly.
They arranged Huangfu Song in Qingzhou, but the opponent did the opposite and used a guerrilla harassment tactic, which did make Qingzhou a little tired.
"Qingzhou is related to the development of the salt industry and fishery industry. We must deal with these troubles as soon as possible!" Chen Xi said with a frown. As a natural outlet to the sea, Qingzhou's importance is unquestionable.
Especially the salt industry in Qingzhou. He had just divided it among a group of merchants, but suddenly something went wrong in Qingzhou. So he had to readjust his economic layout again.
It’s not that other places cannot develop the salt industry, but it would be more appropriate for Qingzhou to develop the salt industry.
Moreover, Qingzhou is related to the status of future naval battles, so he cannot help but pay attention to it.
"I will mobilize some aliens nearby to provide support. In single combat without Yun Qi, these aliens can display strong combat effectiveness."
Guo Hao nodded and said, it was similar to the Japanese pirates harassing the coastal areas during the Ming Dynasty, so there was nothing new in Japan.
"That's true. Huangfu Song also wrote about the role of the aliens in his report. Compared to large-scale battles, the aliens performed very well in these small-scale battles. They were even not inferior to the veterans under his command."
Li Ru also echoed the words. He was also an alternative commander of a large army. Before, the value of aliens was not great, but in the guerrilla warfare along the coast of Qingzhou, the role of aliens was infinitely magnified.
Even if there is a large gathering of Shikigami somewhere, these extraordinary people can accurately transmit the information back, and then the army will be dispatched to suppress it is absolutely perfect for the coastal areas of Qingzhou.
"What a hassle! What are we having for lunch?" Chen Xi curled his lips. It would be strange if he could be happy after having a lot of extra work done for nothing.
"It should be chicken stewed with mushrooms, right?" Guo Hao said uncertainly after recalling the menu.
"Are there so many chickens recently? I seem to have eaten this thing many times recently?" Chen Xi frowned and realized that things were not simple.
He did arrange for many people to raise chickens, ducks and geese, and the knowledge in his mind was combined with the knowledge brought by the players, and the effect of putting it into practice was particularly good.
In addition, perhaps because of the revival of the world's vital energy, or perhaps because of the blessing of his internal affairs attributes, he found that these poultry were unexpectedly easy to raise.
Since they were easy to raise, Chen Xi quickly promoted it to various states. Each household had about ten chicks, and each household was counted as three people. Anyway, they began to reproduce in this scattered manner.
The high-end method is to adjust the temperature through engraving, and the low-end brainless method is to use a kang. Because they are very easy to raise, ordinary people have not done much research on it, and the chicks are hatched one after another.
After doing these things, Chen Xi no longer paid attention to it. The number at the beginning was really too small. Even if he collected eggs that could hatch chicks everywhere, there were less than one million in the end. Then he just threw it to the people below.
Looking at it today, it seems like something is not right.
Li Ru looked at Chen Xi with a strange expression, "Don't you feel that there is something different about the chicken we eat?"
"It seems to be a little better than what I eat at home. Isn't it because the imperial chef cooks it well?" Chen Xi asked in confusion, ignoring Li Ru's strange look.
Li Ru sighed. Chen Xi always had an IQ short circuit in strange places like this, and he didn't know why.
"Hey? Isn't it because of the favors made by the royal chef of the palace?"
Guo Hao was also confused, which was why he had to eat at the palace every day later. He even drew a circle for the palace's daily menu, and the imperial chef randomly chose one from the circle to make.
This was actually the emperor's privilege, but with the tacit consent of the eldest princess, the diet for the entire palace was set by Guo Hao, unless Guo Hao was not in the palace, then the eldest princess would make the choice.
After Li Ru finished explaining, Guo Hao and Chen Xi realized that something was wrong.
As we all know, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When there are more people, top geniuses will emerge, such as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.
When there are too many horses, monsters in horse skins will appear, such as Red Hare and Night-Shining Jade Lion, which are horse geniuses.
By the way, Red Hare, who is Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses, has been promoted to five-star Red Hare. A horse has touched the threshold of breaking through the realm, which is enough to make a group of generals commit suicide out of shame. The gap is ridiculously huge.
But think about it, Red Hare followed Lu Bu and basically defeated all the mounts of the same level. Naturally, he developed extreme self-confidence that Lu Bu was the boss and I was the second. He can be regarded as an alternative divine cultivator, so naturally his strength increased.
The poultry farm built by Chen Xi also gave birth to some geniuses as the number of poultry increased, which could be regarded as super combat poultry.
The destructive power of these poultry is quite astonishing, and sometimes even the militia needs to raise clouds to suppress them. Their fighting power is outrageous.
This kind of ghostly creature, which could be described as a ferocious beast, was of course considered as some kind of auspicious sign or something else as a tribute, and naturally ended up being used as an ingredient in the imperial kitchen.
The imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen naturally had to prepare the dishes based on Guo Hao's requirements and the ingredients. This was why Chen Xi had the impression that they often ate poultry.
To be honest, the imperial chef has tried all kinds of ways to cook the food, but Chen Xi can still remember what to eat the most. He is indeed a foodie and has an unusual obsession with food.
