Chapter 96: Asking for Prisoners

Everyone heard Su Xiu's relaxed tone, and the embarrassment of Fang Cai suddenly disappeared, after all, Liu Guan and the others had no authority in the Gongsun Zhan camp, they just lived in the Gongsun camp in the name of their classmates, and Guan Yu seemed to be above the top, and no one could let him take a second look, so even in the Gongsun Zhan camp, he was not very popular, and what Su Xiu said was reasonable, although the words were a little ugly, but the bad guy was a county guard, and no one could say that he was not.

"Pingdi, now that Zhang Jiao has been broken, what should be done with the materials in Guangzong City?" Cao Cao saw that the rescue of Lu Zhi had been arranged, and he was ready to inquire about the distribution of the captured strategic materials before he left for Beijing. In the past, Lu Zhi was still there, and they didn't have to care too much about the distribution of the commander, but now that Lu Zhi is depreciated, everyone doesn't want their soldiers to give Dong Zhuo the materials they have captured with their lives.

"In terms of materials, Meng Deguangsheng, you can come according to the reward system of Lord Lu on weekdays, it is inconvenient for Xiu to trespass, but Xiu has a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree."

"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Ping Di rescued Lord Lu and helped us to break the Guangzong, as long as it is within the scope of our duties, we will not shirk. "Although Koji Yi is arrogant, he still has a good impression of this young man who was high in the county guard at the age of the weak crown, capable and not arrogant, upright and majestic at the same time, and in a high position, he is quite accurate in dealing with people and other ways of dealing with the world.

"Yes, this Guangzong can be broken, Yu Duwei's plan and the Taishan soldiers who entered the city are indispensable, if there is anything Pingdi can say." Gongsun Chan is also full of promises.

"That's the case, I Mount Tai is located in the mountains, the traffic is very inconvenient, the bandits were rampant in the past, the people are not happy, although now it is slightly better, but the population is withering, I hope to be able to select some strong laborers captured in the battle of Guangzong to return to Mount Tai to build roads and bridges, improve the lives of the people of Mount Tai, but also to atone for the heinous crimes they committed."

Su Xiu saw that several people did not resist, so he said his thoughts. It is said that it is to build roads and pave bridges, but Su Xiu's purpose is not here, these are young and strong laborers, bringing back Mount Tai can not only enrich the population of Mount Tai, but also that these people have been on the battlefield, as long as they can serve loyally, they can become elite soldiers with a little training, which is also paving the way for the future hegemony.

"What should I do, isn't it just some prisoners, they were originally going to serve in various places, not to mention that if there is no Pingdi's Taishan army in this battle, even if we take it, we will have to waste a lot of hands and feet, trivial things, nothing to worry about. Pindy, do you think 10,000 people are enough? Cao Cao didn't care when he heard Su Xiu say this, after all, there were nearly 80,000 Yellow Turban soldiers gathered in Guangzong City, although the battle report had not yet come out, but the battle ended very quickly, and there were at least 30,000 or 40,000 prisoners in addition to those who were killed and escaped, and it was not impossible to give Su Xiu 10,000.

"10,000 people may not be enough, Mount Tai is full of dangers, and it is a thousand times more difficult to build roads and bridges than other places, and it is impossible to achieve the effect without enough manpower. Since these captives are destined for hard labor, can a few of them be accommodating and let me bring more people. In addition, these people have many families, after all, they were my Han people, I can't bear to separate their relatives, then let their families go to Mount Tai together, so let's do it, I don't have too many troops to participate in the battle, and I will not take the materials in the city, as long as these prisoners, what do you think? ”

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liyi, Gongsun Chan and others looked at each other, although the situation is chaotic now, but now the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, Cao Cao Sun Jian is still interested in the court, although Koi Yi is arrogant, but now he has no ambition, Gongsun Chan has ambitions, but he is just the sole leader of Youzhou, so as not to hinder Liu Yu many times when fighting abroad. Everyone has not yet had the idea of secession, and they can't imagine that Su Xiu has the heart to compete for hegemony, but they only feel that Su Xiu is a good official who is a rare good official for the people everywhere.

"Anyway, where these captives go to serve is not to serve, they will simply build roads for you together." After pondering for a long time, everyone was silent, and Cao Cao opened his mouth to accept it.

"Thank you so much."

"But in such a big battle, there are no less than 350,000 captured Yellow Turban thieves, Pingdi, you don't want to rely on your thousands of people to escort you, right? What if there is another rebellion? Sun Jian was worried that tens of thousands of prisoners, if there was no army to escort them, it would be a big hidden danger.

"Wentai don't worry, more than 30,000 of my Taishan foot soldiers are already on the way to Guangzong, presumably they will be there in a day or two, and then don't say 350,000 prisoners, even 180,000 can ensure that nothing happens."

"In that case, then I won't say anything sooner." Sun Jian heard that there were still tens of thousands of horses, and he thought that the Taishan army was full of combat power, and tens of thousands of horses escorted tens of thousands of soldiers, even if he added his family, nothing would happen, so he was relieved.

And when they had taken counsel, they all returned to their tents.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be angry because he was driven out of the camp by Gongsun Zhan before. He was able to apprentice to Lu Zhi, and he was able to make friends with fierce generals like Guan Yu, thanks to his reputation after King Jing of Zhongshan, and now it is good, and he will lose his biggest battle with Su Xiu in a few words. Originally, he didn't have a little foundation, and there were no soldiers in his hands, this time he suppressed the thief, or cheekily begged Gongsun Zan to bring him here, originally hoping to make a little merit with the bravery of himself and Guan Yu, so as to be able to get an official and a half position, but now the biggest opportunity for meritorious service is gone, and he has nothing to do except kill some yellow turban thieves, and he is annoyed in his heart.

Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's face bored, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He was willing to follow Liu Bei because he felt that Liu Bei had great ambitions and was consistent with his own ambitions, so even if Liu Bei had no long things, Guan Yu was willing to follow him.

Back in the military tent, Liu Bei was still sighing that Guan Yu was not good at words, so he continued to study his "Spring and Autumn Period" with him.

"Second brother, have you ever regretted following as a brother?"

"Why did Big Brother say this?" Guan Yu suddenly heard Liu Bei's question, and he was suspicious, not knowing what the eldest brother meant.

"The second brother's martial arts are extraordinary, if he follows any other state pastor, the high-ranking official Houlu will definitely be captured. But the eldest brother has no official body and no skills, so the second brother is covered with dust, and there is nowhere to display his martial arts, everything is caused by the incompetence of the eldest brother. Speaking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but burst into tears, the scene was so touching.

"The eldest brother is serious, Yun Chang follows the eldest brother because you and I are like-minded, and I also believe that with the ability of the eldest brother, sooner or later he will be able to show his ambitions, why is the eldest brother arrogant." Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw what Liu Bei said.

"But if it weren't for me, Yun Chang, you could have gone to other places to join the army, and with your martial arts and ability, you don't know if you will pay homage to the general, because my brother has misled your future. I wanted to defect to my former classmate General Gongsun to show my ambitions, but so far I still haven't achieved anything, I'm sorry for you for my brother. ”

"Big brother, it's okay, you and I both have a lot of skills, are you afraid that you won't find a place to show it? It's just that the time has not yet come, and the eldest brother can rest assured. ”
