106 The way of leading troops
Cao Zhang got off the city wall and came to Ganfu on his own, at this time the gate of Ganfu had been guarded by two Cao soldiers, Cao Zhang asked the two sergeants, "What about the Hou Ye?" β
The sergeant replied, "Master Hou is interrogating the head of the family in the inner hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
When Cao Chang heard this, he asked a sergeant to take him to the inner hall, and found that the originally spacious hall was already crowded with no less than fifty men and women, and the sergeants of Cao Jun were guarding the edge of the inner hall and the doors and windows.
Because before leaving Pingyu, these sergeants had seen Cao Zhang, so when Cao Zhang came in, these people all saluted together, Cao Zhang looked at the people in the hall, both men and women were frightened, but they didn't see Lu Bu's figure, waved his hand and said, "Where is the Hou Ye?" β
The sergeant arrived: "Interrogate the master of the house in the rear!" β
Cao Zhang heard the words and came to the small hall in the back by himself, but saw Lu Bu standing in the center, and in front of him sat a young man in his twenties, at this time the young man looked at Lu Bu with a frightened face, and when he heard the movement, Lu Bu turned around and saw that it was Cao Zhang, and said with a smile: "Third son, this kid is quite knowledgeable, and he has everything." β
Cao Zhang looked at the young man, his face was pale, his stature was short, and his body was slightly fat, he did not have the bodybuilding image of a young man, he was obviously a person who was delayed in wine, but Cao Zhang was a little strange about his age, and said to Lu Bu: "Are all the old people of the Gan family dead?" β
Lu Bu said with a smile: "This kid poisoned all the elders of their family, and with the support of the Zhang family, a close relative of the Yuan family, he became the head of the family, controlled Xiaqiu, and covered up the thieves of Wuhe." β
Cao Zhang smiled: "Very good, even my own Lao Tzu can sell it!" β
Lu Bu said: "When the war in the county is calmed down, we will immediately take this kid to control the manor, and then overwhelm all the strong men of the manor in the county, close the county gate, and divide a part of the sergeants to guard it." β
Cao Zhang said: "We need a boat to enter the five rivers, where can we find it?" β
Lu Bu replied: "The Gan family's manor is on the bank of Tuoshui, and this kid also said that there are boats in the manor, which are to transport materials to the thieves of the five rivers. β
At this time, Li Tong, who was covered in blood, walked into the back hall and said: "Third son, Hou Ye, the people in the military camp have surrendered, our army has killed thirteen people, wounded twenty-five people, more than half of the enemy soldiers have died, and 60 people have surrendered. β
When Lu Bu heard this, he said: "There is Lao Taishou to bring all the people to the house, and then place the wounded of our army here, Lord Taishou is here to guard, Benhou and the third prince take four hundred people and this kid to take the Gan family manor, and after a day's rest, they will go to Wuhe." β
Li Tong agreed, and then went out to escort the prisoners and mobilize manpower.
Cao Zhang asked: "Master Hou, there are five hundred strong men in this manor, and there must be men and women who are engaged in farming, if the strong men can be locked up in the county seat, but there are many men and women in farming, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to escort them, if someone escapes, will it not be a failure?" How should we settle these people? β
Lu Bu smiled: "If you can't settle it, you can kill it!" β
Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and secretly sighed that he was still a little angry, Lu Bu was right, since there was no way to settle, killing it was, everything just needs to get the final victory and get the greatest benefit. Thinking of this, Cao Zhang stepped forward and kicked the young man on the ground and said, "Do you have an arsenal at home?" β
The young man replied, "Yes, yes, the general spares his life!" Obviously, he was frightened when he heard Lu Bu say that he was going to kill someone.
Cao Zhang then asked, "Can there be bows and arrows?" β
The young man replied, "There are two hundred bows and two thousand arrows." β
Hearing this, Cao Zhang kicked this guy and said angrily: "There are two hundred bows in a small county town? You are still rich! β
The young man cried and begged for mercy: "It was given by the Zhang family!!! The general spared his life. β
Cao Zhang then said to Lu Bu: "Since you want to kill, let the sergeants be equipped with bows and arrows, just shoot those people, and there is no need to bury them, when the corpses will fester, the plague will cover the manor, and the foundation of their Gan family will be wasted, and then let Li Taishou clean up this place as a place for our army." β
Lu Bu said with a smile: "The third prince is quite talented in marching and fighting. β
Cao Zhang smiled and didn't speak, he just remembered that Cao Cao slaughtered the city in Pengcheng and Langxie in Xuzhou, and then exposed the corpses, as a result, the plague broke out in Surabaya and Pengcheng, and all the people who did not die fled, and it didn't take long for a county to vacate a lot of land, and when Lu Bu returned to Shun, Pengcheng and Langxie became two large counties of Tuntian, because most of the land there was ownerless.
This method of plundering land resources and attacking the enemy's economy is a bit vicious, but it is very effective.
At this time, Li Tong walked in and said that all the things in the county had been arranged, and he had waited outside the Gan family's mansion for the four hundred sergeants, and he could set off at any time, and it was almost dawn at this time.
Lu Bu and Cao Zhang walked out of the Gan family's mansion with the young head of the Gan family, and came to the four hundred sergeants in the line, and also carried the five flying ladders used to attack the county seat.
I only heard Lu Bu say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the hard fight is fortunate, now Ben Hou will take you to make a small fortune, there are five hundred strong men in the Ganjia manor twenty miles away, and there are many women who are farmers, and there are more delicious dried meat, of course, there will be some five baht money, you and others are all warriors who are good at fighting, as long as you cut down the five hundred strong men who are blocking the road, women, dried meat, and five baht coins are all yours!" β
When the four hundred sergeants heard this, they immediately clamoured together, and the people who were originally a little listless also became excited, but the head of the Gan family beside Lu Bu and Cao Zhang trembled.
Then Lu Bu waved the halberd in his hand, and drove the head of the Gan family to take the lead, followed by four hundred sergeants, first went to the arsenal and let the two hundred sergeants go to the bow and arrow, and then left Xiaqiu.
Lu Bu whispered: "Third son, the so-called word is the head, these sergeants are all under the command of Li Taishou, if you want to be a general on behalf of the Hou for the time being, you must lure them to profit, and the righteousness of the world is just a joke for these illiterate reckless men." β
Cao Zhang replied: "What Master Hou said is that Cao Zhang has been taught!" "Lu Bu can turn to the world, naturally he has his unique method of leading troops, obviously this method of luring him to the advantage is very feasible, just look at his words to make these four hundred soldiers excited.
Lu Bu then smiled and said: "Actually, Ben Hou and those fifty sergeants who pretended to be businessmen also robbed this kid when he was in trouble, hey! β
Cao Zhang smiled when he heard this: "Master Hou is amazing, and his demeanor has not diminished back then." β
Twenty miles and two hours arrived, and the sky was already dark at this time, but it was obvious that the people in the manor were still asleep, and the walls of the Gan family's manor were made of mud, about five meters high, and there was a sentry platform, but there were no sentinels, and these untrained sentries were obviously looking for a place to sleep like the people of Xiaqiu.
About 500 meters in front of the manor, Lu Bu shouted: "Sons! Go ahead! β
The sergeant carrying the flying ladder immediately rushed around, followed by a group of sergeants who looked like wolvesγγγγγγ
