Chapter 46: The matter is over and I am leaving
In the Battle of Wen County, the Liaodong Army killed more than 5,000 enemies and captured more than 17,000 people.
A great victory.
Because they were the attacking party, although they took advantage of the situation, the Liaodong Army itself suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 4,000 killed and countless injured.
Without the assistance of mercenaries, the casualties would have been even greater.
After the battle, Qin Mo led his troops into Wen County, where they rested for a week, selecting soldiers from the prisoner-of-war camp and replenishing the casualties of each unit.
Not only that, Qin Mo also expanded the three armies and one cavalry to a full strength of 5,000.
The Liaodong Army thus reached a size of 20,000.
After eliminating unqualified soldiers, there were still 8,000 soldiers in the temporary prisoner-of-war camp waiting for reorganization. Qin Mo waved his hand and decided to set up 2,000 local garrisons in each of the four counties of Liaoxi, Changli, Xuantu and Liaodong.
Finally everything was settled.
Afterwards, Qin Mo returned to Xiangping County with the spoils, protected by the Youyun Cavalry.
It is also the official seat of the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.
Before setting off, Qin Mo issued the latest order, ordering Gongsun Zan's troops to be responsible for mopping up the remaining resistance in Liaodong County, and Guan Hai's troops to continue moving south together with Zhang Niujiao's troops to wipe out Lelang and Daifang counties in one fell swoop.
Because Wen County was captured ahead of time and a large amount of food and supplies were seized, Qin Mo did not delay any further and directly launched the subsequent battles, determined to unify the six counties of Liaodong as quickly as possible.
Qin Mo also put some thought into the deployment of troops.
Gongsun Zan was not allowed to go south, but was entrusted with the important task to two former Yellow Turban generals. This was to give Guan Hai and Zhang Niujiao the opportunity to independently establish merit and completely wash away all traces of the Yellow Turbans.
I can also give an explanation to the court.
…
The Battle of Liaodong lasted only half a month, but it profoundly changed the form of war in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
Not to mention the high-tech such as catapults, siege vehicles, battering rams, gunpowder, etc., the method created by Liaodong alone of hiring foreigners to transport food and grass and filling moats with stones to attack cities is enough to amaze the world.
It can be predicted that in the future, gathering in a city and defending it will no longer be a safe strategy.
Break the city,
It's not that difficult.
Realizing this, prefects, provincial governors, and governors in various places have all increased their attention to foreigners. The ambitious ones have already issued relevant laws, following the example of Liaodong, allowing mercenary groups to exist legally.
The foreigner suddenly became a hot commodity in the eyes of the princes.
Players with a keen sense of smell may simply form professional grain transport mercenaries, stone throwing mercenaries, siege equipment rental mercenaries, reconnaissance mercenaries, etc.
To a certain extent, it liberated the labor force of the indigenous peoples of the three subcontinents.
In addition to the intentional or unintentional promotion by businesses cooperating with Liaodong, the popularity of "Honghuang" continues to ferment, with new players joining and old players returning every day.
The number of online users has once again exceeded one million, which is a great achievement.
…
Time quietly enters September.
The Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion has officially moved to Xiangping County, Liaodong County.
During this period, the two generals Zhang Niujiao and Guan Hai lived up to expectations and wiped out the two counties of Lelang and Daifang in one fell swoop, strangling the local Goguryeo rebellion.
The remaining Goguryeo people fled northward and entered the northern Goguryeo region.
Let’s not talk about this for now.
After unifying the six counties of Liaodong, Qin Mo appointed a group of officials.
Xu Qiang, former deputy general of the Liaodong Army, was transferred to be the prefect of Liaoxi County.
Gongsun Du was appointed governor of Lelang County.
Zhou Cang, former deputy general of the left army of Liaodong Army, was transferred to be the prefect of Daifang County.
Liaodong County was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Jiedushi Office, and no new prefect was appointed. It was actually managed by the Chief Secretary Deng Mao.
During the battle of Wen County, no one knew what had stimulated Xu Qiang, but he probably felt contented and had no interest in military service. He wanted to seek a position as a local official and live a peaceful life.
Sure enough, middle-aged people tend to be conservative.
Qin Mo did not treat his old friend Xu Qiang badly. He promoted him to the position of Governor of Liaoxi, making him the second player to serve as a governor , which was quite an honor.
The first prefect was Du Shihao.
In August, when Qin Mo was attacking Liaodong, it was unknown what kind of magic potion Du Shihao had given to Huangfu Song, the governor of Yizhou, and he was promoted from the lieutenant of Hejian County to the prefect of Hejian.
It was quite a sight.
Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong in history, was appointed as the governor of Lelang County this time, which was planned by Qin Mo long ago. With Gongsun Du's ability, there is no problem in governing Lelang County.
Finally, Zhou Cang was loyal and brave, but his ability was limited. It was indeed difficult for him to lead the troops to fight, and he did not play any role in balancing Gongsun Zan in the left army.
He was played around by Gongsun Zan.
Qin Mo simply let Zhou Cang serve as the prefect of Daifang County to guard the southwestern and eastern borders of Liaodong. If there is still strength left, he can lead the newly formed local garrison troops to continue southward and invade the southern land.
This is what Qin Mo is happy to see.
In addition to the three county governors, Qin Mo also promoted a group of players.
Some were transferred from the army to become county lieutenants and county lieutenants , while others were directly promoted from a village head to a county magistrate or even a county magistrate. All of them were extraordinary promotions.
The goal is to fully stimulate the players' subjective initiative.
With the pacification of the three counties of Liaodong, another twenty or thirty thousand players entered Liaodong to make a living. Qin Mo welcomed them all. Today is different from the past. Players are popular in all states and counties.
But Liaodong is no longer the only dominant force.
…
Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.
Deng Mao and Li Bingyun, the two generals, came again to report their work to Qin Mo.
During this period, Deng Mao was extremely busy. He not only had to coordinate the food and fodder for the army on the front line, but also had to be responsible for the relocation of the Jiedushi Mansion and take charge of the political affairs of Liaodong County.
There are a host of other complicated matters.
Li Bingyun's life was not easy either. In addition to hosting the second alien village chief selection competition, he also had to select elite players to enter the six doors and three secret text locations.
More importantly, Li Bingyun is also responsible for the operation of the Daqin Studio and contacting cooperative businesses.
With the unification of the six counties of Liaodong and the battle of Liaodong that completely made the Liaodong Army famous, Qin Mo's position in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent became increasingly stable, and naturally he became more sought after by merchants.
To this day , there are merchants coming to us every day seeking cooperation.
In addition to big customers like Hou Workshop, there are also those who want to do it for fun, such as planning to build a glass factory, soap factory, textile factory, sugar factory, oil press factory, etc. in Liaodong.
The purpose is to promote the reputation of their own brand.
It can be said that it is well-intentioned.
Facing these financial sponsors, Li Bingyun dared not neglect any of them and led people to negotiate and discuss day and night. On the contrary, Qin Mo, the boss who just sat there and collected money, never intervened.
Tell me, it’s infuriating or not.
What Qin Mo did was just to be a prodigal son again and sold all the resources such as mines, forests, fisheries, and salt fields in the three newly occupied counties.
Profited nearly 30,000 gold coins.
Because of this, Qin Mo gained the reputation of "the boy who gives away money" in the business circle of the Three Kingdoms.
It's really funny.
What makes Qin Mo happy is that with the unification of the six counties of Liaodong and the development of economy and trade, the prosperity of the territory has broken through the 60-point mark and is steadily moving towards 70 points.
One step closer to 200,000 experience points.
After finally getting rid of Deng Mao and Li Bingyun, Qin Mo finally calmed down. He didn't want to be entangled in tedious matters, so he simply disappeared again.
We left Xiangping County the next day.
After getting the news, Deng Mao and Li Bingyun were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. They had never seen such an unreliable governor. But even though they were angry, they still had to do what they had to do.
Who asked them to have such a master?
