，

Looking at the Lu family army roaring outside the city, there was a cheer in the head of Renqiu City, the encirclement of a month of suffering and crisis was finally resolved, and the Lu family army was really victorious, and from then on, Ren Qiu's good days came.

All the people poured into the streets, cheering, and began to help Lu Jiajun move out the grain that Lu Peng had specially thrifted, and set up a cauldron along the street, filled in the demolished doors and windows, lit a blazing bonfire, and poured bags of rice grain into the pot, and threw one piece after another of the horse meat of the freshly killed war horse into the pot, and in a short time, pot after pot of meat porridge was fully cooked.

The people took out all the pots and pans in their homes, lent them to the captives who had just surrendered, and let them share the meat porridge, and they didn't need to find chopsticks, so they grabbed them with their hands, and they devoured them on the street, ate all the bowls, and frantically pounced on the porridge pot to grab another bowl.

After bowls of hot porridge, those captives lay down on the street contentedly, under the eaves, and fell asleep contentedly.

The people who gathered around to watch the bustle, and looked at these hungry wolf-like soldiers, all felt sad and pitiful for their situation. Some of the elderly people couldn't help but cry. I really didn't expect that the besieged city was worse than the besieged, what an incredible truth.

There were too many people who surrendered, there were 50,000 of them, and the black pressure filled the entire Renqiu City, and now Lu Peng was no longer worried about how to defeat them, but how to feed them.

plus these 50,000, as well as the 40,000 who surrendered at the beginning, Yuan Shao gave himself 90,000 mouths before and after, which is definitely a huge pressure, if you don't manage them well, that is, Yuan Shao did not defeat himself in the war, but in eating, he completely defeated himself, and at that time, Yuan Shao's goal was achieved.

Looking at the captives who were filled with black pressure on the streets, Lu Peng had to give up the decision to personally take Zhao Yunnan to reinforce Pan Feng, and personally sat here to watch these hungry and crazy Yuan Shao captives.

And the 20,000 Zhao Yun's cavalry, Lu Peng definitely didn't dare to let them attack at this time, and now before the prisoners and the people's military hearts are completely settled, the 20,000 army must be a deterrent existence.

"Urgently send people to Youzhou, tell them about our victory, urgently mobilize merchants to transport food and materials to Renqiu, and within a month, I will double the price for him." Lu Peng gritted his teeth and said.

It is the top priority, food can stabilize these captives, and let the people of Renqiu see hope.

"A foreign war is about getting rich, and in a civil war, it's about breaking down and going back to poverty, and that's why I don't want a civil war." Lu Peng used the bloody reality to educate the brothers who followed him.

Zhao Yun nodded in agreement with his point of view: "Then my 30,000 cavalry is formed, I will have 50,000 cavalry, and I will go to Xianbei to grab it." Then he immediately set his own bottom line: "But I don't kill people." ”

"You don't kill people and rob a fart, let me tell you, in fact, I annihilated the Wuhuan people, the biggest harvest is to destroy their ethnic group, harvest their land, and then sell their land to us Han people, you know, now we have a mountain of money in the treasury of Youzhou, the vast majority of it comes from the sale of our land, and now we sell out of the land is only one ten-thousandth, and will continue to provide us with money in the future, and, those who bought our land, We have to pay a hundred catties of grain rent a year, so my brother, let's go and kill them, and then we can get a steady stream of money. Then he said to Zhao Yun very solemnly: "What is the most profitable thing in the world?" It's killing people and overselling goods, you drop, understand? ”

Regarding the third brother's fallacy and heresy, Zhao Yun expressed the most direct denial.

"But now you can't form an army with 50,000 cavalry, because I want to kill a batch of your horses to satisfy the hungry ghosts."

At the mention of killing horses, Zhao Yun felt a painful liver, but he also knew that now to solve the problem of eating and drinking these prisoners and the people in the city, the only way to solve the problem is to kill horses to deal with emergencies, otherwise these 90,000 Yuan Shao's prisoners, as well as the hundreds of thousands of mouths of these people, can immediately bomb the camp, and then this Ren Qiu will change hands in a blink of an eye, which is really a victory and defeat.

"Of course, I don't have the truth to feed people in vain, the price of my 50,000 yuan for a war horse must definitely have a considerable return, and I will never do anything to lose money."

This is Lu Peng's truth, otherwise how can he be the descendant of the merchant ancestor?

Cash-for-work and work-for-support are policies that cannot be shaken by thunder, and they must not cultivate the inertia that makes people get something for nothing, which is what Lu Peng has always adhered to.

At the same time, there is another reason, that is, these tens of thousands of prisoners must not be idle.

People are like this, once they are idle, they will think about things, once they think about things, then they can think of anything, then there will be chaos, only let them move, consume their excess physical strength in labor, let them work except for work, and when they rest, except for sleep, they will sleep, and then, everything will be peaceful.

Fortunately, there are indeed too many things to let these captives work, and there is no need to implement the method of digging pits in front and filling in the back in order to help the people. Now that Renqiu has been liberated, the follow-up construction must be carried out immediately, and the action that was promised to the people to demolish their houses and build new houses for them must be carried out immediately, otherwise the hearts of the people will be chilled.

And these captives, Lu Peng definitely didn't have the idea of letting them go to the battlefield immediately, and then let them go to the battlefield as soldiers, Lu Peng definitely didn't have the confidence to let them fight to the death, because in their bones, they were used to being a soldier and surrendering.

It's hard to change this kind of thing, just this group of people, even if you train him and let him go to the battlefield, as long as there is a slight setback in the war, these people will definitely immediately lay down their arms and surrender, so the loss of soldiers after the end of this war must still be recruited from those people, and then make a big article on a blank piece of paper, which is the most fundamental.

So Lü Peng immediately reorganized these captives into large and small engineering teams, and launched a vigorous large-scale infrastructure construction activity in Renqiu City.

And Lu Peng also took this opportunity to completely tear down the original chaotic Renqiu and rebuild it, so that the entire street is uniform, and in the future, it will be a model city.

Of course, if there is demolition, there must be profits, which is the fundamental criterion of future generations, otherwise who will do the dirty and tiring work of demolition?

So Lu Peng prepared to personally formulate a blueprint for Renqiu's new city, turning the entire street into pieces of tofu, and the houses along the street are now all purchased by themselves, and then changed into commercial facades, and then sold.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now it is still necessary to solve the matter of food and stabilize the morale of the army, and only when this piece is stabilized can he take a break from himself for the next step of the war. Otherwise, as soon as his main force walks on the front foot, this Renqiu City will immediately become someone else's land.

The days will pass, and the war will continue, right?

However, Lu Peng announced that he would purchase grain at twice the market price within a month, and as soon as the news came out, those local families in Renqiu immediately heard the news, this was an absolute opportunity to make war money, so they found Lu Peng and sold all the grain stored at home to him.

This was when Lu Peng regretted blaming himself for being too generous, but he immediately solved his immediate crisis.

With food, everything was easy to do, so Lu Peng transferred out 5,000 soldiers of Zhao Yun, and immediately turned to civil affairs with knives, and carried out a vigorous Renqiu construction activity.

With a chew in their mouths and something to do, the hearts of these captives are settled. With food, drink and a good future, who wants to make trouble and rebel with their heads raised? Isn't that enough to eat?

Seeing that Lu Jiajun really fulfilled his promise and built houses for those who demolished their homes to defend the city, the people's hearts were settled.
