As for Zhao Hu's soldiers, Fu Tong heard about the origin of these soldiers, so he temporarily changed his previous plan and placed them in the military camp in the city.

In order to prevent the original defenders in Luyang City from rebelling, earlier that day, Fu Tong had temporarily detained all the officers in the defenders, and all the middle and low-level officers who participated in the exploitation of the soldiers under his command had all been killed.

As for the defenders who surrendered, Fu Tong also gave them two choices, those who were willing to continue to be soldiers, and those who ate soldiers' salaries could continue to stay in the barracks. Those who were unwilling to serve as soldiers, Fu Tong did not force them, and after making up for the salaries and food owed to them by those slain officers, those who did not want to continue to serve as soldiers could leave as long as they saw that their uniforms and weapons in their hands were all put down.

In the end, what surprised Zhang An was that less than one-fifth of the original defenders of Luyang City, who finally took off their uniforms, were really unwilling to be soldiers.

Because of the geographical advantages of Luyang City, Cao Cao still attaches great importance to the defense here. Therefore, in addition to the 1,000 elite soldiers in the city, the county lieutenant recruited a lot of recruits from the local area, and claimed that the total number of soldiers recruited by the Taishou of Nanyang County appointed by Cao Cao was 9,000, but in fact, only 5,000 were recruited.

The county lieutenant of Luyang County ate the empty salaries of 4,000 soldiers. Cao Cao's own appointment of the current Nanyang County Taishou was named Qu Mao, and he placed the seat of Nanyang County in Nanyang County, which was between Luyang County, Xi'e County and Bowang County. Since Luyang County was in the rear, Qu Mao did not check the situation of Luyang City's defense too carefully.

It stands to reason that the 1,000 elite soldiers in Luyang City did not suffer from the harsh treatment of the county lieutenant, but the main general of this army is not a thing, although he did not reduce the rations of the elite soldiers, he still deducted a lot of food from them. Therefore, when Fu Tong's troops attacked the city, the thousand elite soldiers saw that all the surrounding defenders had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and they all took the initiative to give up resistance.

Otherwise, if Fu Tong wants to capture Luyang City, he still has to pay a lot of twists and turns.

After settling the soldiers, Ma Han and the three of them each instructed their lieutenants to take care of the army, and then, the three of them all came to the meeting hall in the county government of Luyang County, where Fu Tong had already arranged a banquet, waiting to entertain Ma Han and the three of them, as well as several leaders of the stronger rebels or bandits they recruited or leaders with relatively strong martial arts.

After everyone sat down, Fu Tong stood up very simply, raised his glass to everyone, and celebrated: "Everyone, I wish you all the best in this operation in the north of Nanyang County, cheers!" ”

"!" Everyone also raised the wine bowl in front of their table, and after Fu Tong finished saying the words of celebration, they all drank it all.

After drinking the wine, Fu Tong began to get down to business, and said: "Everyone, I believe you have heard that the kid has the trust of Jingzhou Mu Liu Envoy, and now he is the Taishou of Nanyang County. But you probably haven't heard of anything else. That is, the state pastor has allowed Ben Taishou to get rid of the county commanders, chiefs, county lieutenants, and county governors in Nanyang County north of Xinye County on his own.

Next, I'm going to post the task. Whether or not you can get the appreciation of Ben Taishou, and then be appointed by Ben Taishou as the head of that county, depends on your respective abilities.

Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu obey orders! ”

"The last general Mahan is here!"

"The last general, Zhang Long, is here!"

"The last general Zhao Hu is here!"

When the three of them heard this, they immediately stood up, walked directly opposite Fu Tong in two or three steps, knelt on one knee, and replied loudly.

Fu Tong nodded, and did not immediately let the three of them stand up, but loudly announced their next task on the spot, and said, "Ben Taishou appointed Ma Han as the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Zhao Hu as the commander of the Middle Route Army, and Zhang Long as the commander of the Western Route Army. The three of you will lead your leaders and your troops and horses, and you will set out tomorrow.

The first target of the three of you is not the same.

Zhang Long, what your department is going to attack is 'Xi'e County', and the county order of the county is Yingchuan Famous Scholar Du Raid. Zhang Long, you remember, according to rumors, this Du Raid is the most capable of the county commanders and chiefs of Nanyang County appointed by Cao Thief. Therefore, when attacking the county seat, you must be more careful, after breaking the city, Du attacks this person, and kills him directly. Because, the Yingchuan people who have already taken refuge in Cao Thief will not surrender to our Jingzhou.

Zhao Hu, what your department is going to attack is 'Bowang County', the county's name is Huang Zilian, about this person, Ben Taishou does not know much, his personality and ability are unknown. However, it is said that this person is a relative of the Jiangxia Huang clan, so as long as he is not killed in the siege of the city, after the capture of the city, you can not kill him without killing him. If he scolds you, just shut his mouth.

You must remember, remember, remember.

Ma Han, what your department is going to attack is the place where Cao Cao appointed the Taishou of Nanyang County - Pheasant County, the Taishou is named Qu Mao, and the Taishou is not too clear about the details of this person.

However, you must remember that there is a person named Zong Ziqing under his command, who is the Gong Cao of Nanyang County, and this person is a person who is extremely good at using his tongue to deceive people's hearts, so when attacking the city, don't listen to his nonsense, and after taking Pheasant County, he immediately sent someone to completely seal his mouth. However, Mahan, Ben Taishou has to make one thing clear in advance, after taking the city, if Zong Ziqing does not die in battle during your siege, you must not hurt his life.

However, Ben Taishou hopes that you will be able to make an appointment and try to launch an attack on these three counties within the same day.

Do you understand? ”

"No!" After listening to the order, the three of them replied in unison.

One by one, Fu Tong roughly told what he knew about the chief officials in the three county towns and their origins, and the Zhang father and son on the side and the leaders of the rebels or bandits on Luyang Mountain who were sitting on the side were all taken aback after listening to them.

Unexpectedly, this new Taishou who looks so young and heard that he is not yet twenty years old, is really not simple at all, Fu Tong knows everything about the county guards and orders appointed by Cao Jun, but at least he knows more about the situation here than all the old fritters who have been in Nanyang County for more than ten years, or even decades.

Especially Fu Tong finally talked about the Gong Cao Zongziqing appointed by Nanyang County Taishou Qu Mao, this person is a native of Nanyang County, and many people present know that this person is very eloquent.
