Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 67: Creating an Epic Army, the Beggar Army

Cloud City.

While millions of people were cheering.

Li Hong once again summoned his subordinates to discuss follow-up matters.

In the meeting hall.

Li Hong, Li Li, Dian Wei, Huangfu Song, Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others gathered together, all with smiles on their faces.

The Xianbei retreated, and their mission of attacking the alien race was completed with a great victory.

The next step was to return to the capital, report to the court for achievements, and reward according to merit.

It's time to harvest.

"The Xianbei have been lured away by us, but we still cannot let our guard down. While the Xianbei have not yet reacted, we must quickly send back the more than 800,000 people we rescued from the Xianbei, to prevent further disturbances!"

Li Hong sat at the top, stroking his gray beard and speaking.

After listening to Li Hong's words, the smiles on the faces of the generals faded a little and they all nodded.

Indeed, it was not the Xiongnu or Wuhuan who attacked the Xianbei's rear tribes, but the Han army. If the Xianbei had seen through their plan and become angry and ashamed, and marched south again, the more than 800,000 Han slaves who had been rescued would have been in great danger.

"What the old general said is absolutely right. We should send these people away quickly to avoid retaliation from foreign races!"

Huangfu Song and other generals all nodded in agreement.

"Since there is no objection, then within five days, we will release all the rescued Han people as soon as possible and let them return home together in the same place."

"However, the journey back home is long, and we cannot let them go back hungry. That would be irresponsible, and we don't know how many of them will survive. We have obtained a lot of sheep and meat from the Xianbei people this time, and we will prepare food for them to return home. I will report this to His Majesty in person after I return to the court. If His Majesty investigates, I will take full responsibility!"

"The old general is kind-hearted. I believe that after these 800,000 people know about this, they will burst into tears of gratitude towards you!" In the hall, Huangfu Song, Zang Min, Xia Yu and other generals were shocked when they heard that Li Hong wanted to prepare food for the people returning home, and said that if Liu Hong pursued the matter, they would take the responsibility. They expressed their admiration for Li Hong.

In fact, they really admired Li Hong's move.

More than 800,000 rescued Han slaves were to return to various places in the north. The amount of grain and meat consumed to prepare food for such a large number of people was absolutely enormous.

It can even be said that they were able to distribute all of the millions of sheep they had obtained from the Xianbei.

In this case, the spoils of their victory will be greatly reduced.

This will most likely displease Liu Hong.

Li Hong took the responsibility himself.

They truly admired Li Hong's love for the Han people.

Li Hong waved his hand and didn't say much about this matter.

Liu Hong was so happy about this great victory that he couldn't wait to do anything to him. Unless Liu Hong was kicked in the head by a donkey.

"However, although we are sending more than 800,000 people back home, it does not mean that everyone will be sent back."

Li Hong, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly changed the topic, which startled Dian Wei, Huangfu Song, Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others. They looked at Li Hong in confusion, not understanding.

Li Li's eyes were filled with ripples, but he understood what Li Hong was going to say. His eyes became complicated, but then firm.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Hong said:
"Not all of the people who were taken to the grassland by the Xianbei were lucky. I'm afraid many of them have lost their families. Where do they still have homes?"

"Many people even have more hatred towards the Xianbei people!" "Before, they were alone and helpless, and the situation forced them to do so, so they had no chance to seek revenge."

"So, I think that if these young people who have hatred towards other races are unwilling to return home and want to seek revenge, we can gather them together to form a team."

"When we burned down the Xianbei royal court, we also took in slaves from various ethnic groups. They came from the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Dingling, Qiang, the Western Regions, Wusun, the Three Kingdoms of Han, and Goguryeo. According to my idea, all of them can be added to this team!"

"Form a team with the common people who are unwilling to return to their hometowns and hate foreigners, as well as the foreign slaves?" Huangfu Song, Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others listened to Li Hong's words, looked at each other, vaguely understood what Li Hong meant, and all became interested.

"Old General, if this team is really established, I'm afraid it will have a large number of people. Will they be affiliated with the Han army? If they are affiliated with the Han army, I'm afraid it will require the approval of His Majesty, and there will be foreign slaves mixed in. What will this team be like?"

Zang Min directly grasped the core and asked Li Hong solemnly.

Huangfu Song, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan all looked at Li Hong. They all felt that it would be very interesting if this team was formed.

After all, if this team is really established, it will be an army full of hatred towards foreign races.

Li Hong did not hesitate to explain to the interested generals:
"In my original intention, this team would be one that would repeatedly attack, strike, severely injure, and even destroy all kinds of alien races."

"If the attack starts with the Xianbei, it will gradually expand to the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Dingling, Qiang, the Western Regions, Wusun, the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo and all other ethnic groups around the Han Dynasty."

"I want to name it the 'Beggar Army', which specifically recruits people who have hatred towards foreign races and are begging for a living under the enslavement of foreign races."

"We have badly defeated the Xianbei and the Xiongnu this time. The Xianbei and Xiongnu will definitely not give up after suffering such a great loss. They may retaliate and invade and plunder the Han Dynasty's tens of thousands of miles of border counties. However, our Han army is small and cannot protect all the border counties. Therefore, we need a team to play the role of resisting foreign invasions and plunders, so we have this begging army."

"On the surface, the Beggars' Army is not part of the Han army, but a spontaneously organized team. They live for revenge, and all the things they do and the troubles they cause have nothing to do with the Han. However, they are helping the Han to eliminate the foreign races that they hate. Therefore, secretly, we the Han have to control this team and provide them with food, money, and weapons."

"We can send generals to train the beggars in fighting and combat skills. Constantly inspire hatred in their hearts. The power of hatred is extremely terrifying and will allow this team to burst out with extremely terrifying combat power..."

In the hall, Li Hong was spreading information about the Beggars' Army to Huangfu Song, Zang Min, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and others.

That’s right. Li Hong wanted to build an army of beggars like mad dogs at the end of the Han Dynasty and control it in his own hands.

For Li Hong's use.

In preparation for the coming chaos in the world, the Li family begins to lay the groundwork for building up their power!

What is the Begging Army?
The Beggar Army was a very special army.

It was an armed refugee group spontaneously formed by Han people who were displaced by war during the period of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms.

It is considered to be the most fierce and fierce peasant army in ancient China! !
They were originally homeless refugees, but in the face of adversity, they united and formed a powerful fighting force to fight for survival.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were constant wars in the north, the Sima clan killed each other, the internal strength of the country was gradually consumed, the Hu tribe took advantage of the chaos, launched an army and ravaged the Central Plains. The Central Plains sank and was in darkness. The people of the Central Plains suffered greatly and their lives were miserable.

At this time, the Beggars' Army rose up in rebellion. In order to survive, they joined Ran Min. Ran Min led the Beggars' Army to fight against the Hu people. The Beggars' Army became more and more powerful. In a moment, the Beggars' Army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. Hundreds of thousands of Hu people were killed. Ran Min led the Beggars' Army to "kill like crazy".

The name of the beggars is a reflection of their living conditions. They beg for life and protect themselves in troubled times. Their activities are extensive, from the north and south of the Yellow River to Ji, You, Bing and other states.

Although the Beggars' Army was not an official army, the tenacity and fighting power they displayed were admirable.

In order to survive, they fought desperately with the enemy, not only protecting themselves but also buying a glimmer of hope for the Han people.

In general, the Beggars' Army was an army full of tragic and heroic spirit. Their existence was a reflection of the Han people's will to survive in that turbulent era.

The slaves of various ethnic groups rescued from the Xianbei and the young and strong men who hated the Han people gave Li Hong hope of forming a beggar army.
