Liu Yong was half-lying, and his heart was full of pride, who would have thought that my strange soldier was actually a prisoner in the prison? Liu Yong's inspiration actually came from the story of Zhou Peigong in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" in which Zhou Peigong used 3,000 rich domestic slaves to defeat the 30,000 Chahar elite soldiers who rebelled during the Battle of Sanfan.

When Liu Yong thought of the idea that he had just said that he would recruit prisoners who were imprisoned awaiting trial as strange soldiers to fight against Yan Baihu, Yu Fu and Dong Xi were both surprised, disapproving, and foolish at first. Just kidding, these people are either the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army or the bandits, who dares to release them? Who bears the consequences of the unexpected? But Liu Yong has his own reasons, one is that these people are outlaws with combat experience, and they are an elite soldier without training; The second is that they only need to forgive their sins, and then tempt them to be restored to my use; Thirdly and most importantly, there is no better way to do it now.

The two of them thought for a long time, and Yu turned over and said, "Is the son sure of moving them?" ”

Liu Yong said: "Please rest assured, Liu Yong will live up to his trust." ”

Yu Fu saw that Liu Yong was full of confidence, glanced at Dong Xi, and finally nodded slowly.

Liu Yong was overjoyed, but listened to Dong Xian say: "If Liu Gongzi can convince their leader, this matter will be much easier." ”

Liu Yongqi said: "Dare to ask who the leader is?" ”

Dong Xi said: "This person used to be the general of Zhang Bao's account of the Yellow Turban Thief Department, named Zhou Cang. After Zhang Bao's death, Zhou Cang led his troops. After being cleared and suppressed in various places, only a few dozen people remained, and they had to gather in the mountains and forests to rob rich households in various places. This person is strong in martial arts, although he is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, but he has a bold temperament, treats people sincerely, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and never harasses the poor people, and he can be regarded as a good man. It's a shame to say that if you talk about fighting alone, Dong is probably not his opponent. A few days ago, we caught Zhou Cang's sworn brother Pei Yuanshao. Yesterday, he used Pei Yuanshao as bait and set a trap for him to come. Rao is like this, Dong and the county caught it together, which is really a fluke. Now there are many people in the prison who are Zhou Cang's brothers, and if Gongzi can talk about Zhou Cang, the rest will be much easier. ”

Liu Yong was even more overjoyed when he heard the names of Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others, and it may be difficult for others to say that they are moving, this Zhou Cang, hehe! But I'm not busy, so I'll go first, and then say, "Okay, try my best in the next one." Yun'er, you go and invite Mr. Hua to the prison as well. ”

After a while, Liu Yong and others came to the prison. Dong Xi first locked the door, and sent additional people at the door to send Liu Yong to Zhou Cang's cell where he was locked alone, and then lightly closed the prison door.

Liu Yong saw that Zhou Cang was tall, black-faced, and strangely described, with shackles and shackles all over his body, and looked at him coldly.

Liu Yong smiled slightly and made a gesture to Zhou Cang, "Zhou Zhuangshi." ”

"Who are you?" Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"In Xia Liu Yong, I have long heard of the name of a strong man. This time, I heard that County Lieutenant Dong tried his best to catch the strong man. Knowing that the strong man had a deep brotherhood, he used Pei Yuanshao as a bait to lure the strong man to come to the rescue. Rao is like this, led by Dong County Lieutenant, he also gathered more than a dozen catchers to capture the strong man together. The strong man is invincible and admirable. ”

In fact, Dong Xian is only slightly worse than Zhou Cang in terms of fighting alone, but Zhou Cang is more powerful, so he was trapped, and when he was arrested, there were only five or six people including Dong Xian, Liu Yong deliberately said a lot bigger, and praised him for his deep righteousness, and sure enough, Zhou Cang was happy to hear it, and suddenly felt that the inconspicuous kid in front of him suddenly became very pleasing to the eye.

"Zhou is now a prisoner, what do you mean by saying this?"

"Don't hide it from the strong man, and ask for something important below."

"Zhou is a prisoner today, and he committed a capital crime, how can I help you?"

"If the strong man agrees, the strong man and his brothers can be guaranteed to be safe and sound."

Zhou Cang was taken aback, stared at Liu Yong and said, "Who are you who dare to speak like this?" ”

Liu Yong smiled and said: "I am only a scholar, but since I can say this, I can do this matter." ”

Zhou Cang looked at Liu Yong again for a while, and said suspiciously: "In this case, you can tell me about it first." ”

Liu Yong carefully explained to Zhou Cang the news that Yan Baihu was coming to seize Fuyi, as well as the predicament of the county and his own plans, and then waited for his reply.

Zhou Cang thought for a while and asked, "It seems that Zhou has only one way to cooperate with you." Well, I agreed. However, you have to be trustworthy, if Zhou solves this difficulty, you will have to let the other brothers in prison go. Zhou Cang thought that if Liu Yong could let himself out, he would definitely take Pei Yuanshao and a few others hostage first, in case he changed his mind.

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "The strong man misunderstood." As long as you agree, you will let all your brothers go, and there will be no one left. Liu Yong knows that the best way to deal with people like Zhou Cang is to be sincere.

Zhou Cang was really surprised, a pair of bull's eyes stared at Liu Yong for a long time, with an approving look on his face, and nodded: "Okay, have courage and courage." Zhou Cang admires! ”

Liu Yong smiled: "Not really. It depends on who is facing down there. Don't think I trust everyone so much. This is because I knew early that although the strong man robbed the house, he did not humiliate women and did not harm people's lives; Although it seems to be vulgar, he is honest and trustworthy, and he promises a thousand dollars, so Liu Yong dares to be so relieved. When Zhou Cang heard this, he was even more overjoyed in his heart, but he heard Liu Yong say again: "Besides, Brother Zhou has not committed any crimes against ordinary people, how can it be compared to Yan Baihu and other rogue robbers." The audience said that Brother Zhou has a heart of compassion and often helps the poor, and now that the county is suffering from this great disaster, with Brother Zhou as a person, how can the ordinary people be slaughtered by the strict thief and mourn all over the field? Liu Yong gradually replaced the "strong man" with "Brother Zhou", which made Zhou Cang feel more cordial, and at the same time, one big hat after another kept wearing on Zhou Cang's head, making it difficult for him to parry.

Zhou Cang was really dizzy when he heard it, as if he had drunk alcohol, and a casual smile appeared on his face. Liu Yong struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Brother Zhou, don't you want to go to Xuzhou to defect to General Guan?" If Brother Zhou can help us relieve the siege of Fuyi, and I am willing to accompany Brother Zhou to pay respects, do you think it is good? ”

Zhou Cang was shocked: "Who are you?" How do I know what I'm thinking? ”

Liu Yong said in his heart, how could I not know your thoughts, isn't your Zhou Cang's greatest wish to follow Guan Yu? He said: "I also admire General Guan's demeanor below, and I am willing to be a pawn for him, and I will be willing to die with a whip and stirrups sooner or later!" It's just that I am deeply favored by the county magistrate Yu, and I don't understand this difficulty, and I am ashamed of my heart. ”

Zhou Cang heard Liu Yong say this, thinking that he was also a person who values love and righteousness, so he didn't hesitate anymore and said, "Okay." I promised you! As soon as this difficulty is solved, let's go to General Guan together. ”

Liu Yong was overjoyed, leaned over and bowed twice, and then got up and took off his shackles.

Zhou Cang stretched his limbs, moved his hands and feet a few times, and said with a smile: "Isn't Childe afraid that Zhou will break his promise?" ”

Liu Yong said lightly: "If Brother Zhou is an untrustworthy person, I am afraid that there will be no credible person in the world." ”

Zhou Cang laughed loudly, feeling that the parents of the person who gave birth to me and Liu Gongzi, who knew me, also smiled: "Liu Gongzi, Zhou admires." If Liu Gongzi can afford to look down on Zhou, he might as well call me Zhou Cang. ”

"How can I be? If Brother Zhou doesn't dislike it. I call you Brother Zhou, can you call me Brother Liu? ”

"Okay, refreshing! Brother Liu! Hehe......"

"Brother Zhou, it doesn't matter what injuries you have, right? Brother ......"

Zhou Cang waved his hand and replied proudly: "This little injury is nothing to me. It's just that a few of my subordinates are seriously injured, so I have to find a Lang Zhong to take a look. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, please relax, my brother has invited a famous doctor." He called Dong to come in again. Dong Xi repeatedly confessed his guilt, but Zhou Cang said that you are an official and I am a thief, there is no need to do this. The two have fought before, and now that they see each other, they can't help but feel a sense of heroic sympathy.

Dong Xian first detained the most heinous prisoners in solitary confinement, and the remaining prisoners were taken to the empty dam in the prison. Liu Yong was accompanied by Zhou Cang to the high platform by the empty dam, and the criminals couldn't help whispering below, I don't know how Zhou Cang was released, who is the young man next to him, and what is he going to do?

Zhou Cang took a step forward and said in a voice like a Hong Zhong: "You all don't speak, Brother Liu will tell you now." ”

Liu Yong said loudly: "Everyone, most of you have committed major crimes such as rebellion, rebellion, burning, killing and looting, and I believe you also know that these are capital crimes. He could be put to death immediately without reporting to the court. However, this son told the county magistrate to fight for a chance for you, and maybe he can keep you from dying. Suddenly, there were exclamations and discussions.

Liu Yong made a quiet gesture and said, "The day after tomorrow, there will be a thief Yan Baihu who will lead more than 500 people to commit it. The magistrate has decreed that if you can kill the thieves, you may be pardoned for your sins and let you out. There was a deathly silence below. Just kidding, there were 500 people on the other side, and there were only a few dozen of us.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "When you hear that there are five hundred thieves, you are scared, aren't you?" The enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, between life and death, fear is also common sense, and this son deeply understands. However, this son can tell you that although there are more than 500 Yan Baihu, they are all scattered and miscellaneous soldiers, and they have just been defeated by Sun Ce, their morale is low, and they are embarrassed by a blow, this is the first layer; Second, this son has arranged a clever plan to take the thief by surprise and kill the thief first. The so-called capture of the thief and the king, as soon as Yan Baihu died, the group of gangsters had no leader, and they were in chaos without a fight, how could they be opponents such as you. So he laid out his plan and his plan.

Without waiting for everyone to start talking, Liu Yong said again: "This son has a third meaning. I tell you, that Yan Baihu was originally born as a bandit, and he has been robbing for half a lifetime, and has accumulated a lot of money, and I have asked the county magistrate for his consent, and after exterminating that Yan Baihu, not only will I pardon you for your innocence, but half of the thief's money will be handed over to the county government, and half will be given to you and the county catchers to share equally. I don't take a penny from Xia and Dong County, how about it? Suddenly there was a clamor below, some excited, some amazed, some delighted, and some cheered.

Liu Yong smiled and said: "Everyone, you can think about it, whether to do it or not, this son will not be reluctant." If you want to do it, you can go to the opposite county lieutenant Dong to make a record. If you don't want to do it, you can go back to your cell, and I can guarantee that you will be given a lighter punishment. After speaking, he quietly waited for everyone to choose.

Everyone was still discussing, and Zhou Cang said sharply: "Brothers, we were originally dead when we were caught, but now we have a way to live, and there is money to take, why not do such a good thing?" Moreover, the eldest husband stands up to the sky, Liu Gongzi trusts us so much, what else do we have to say? Do it, brethren! Zhou Cang took the lead, and his subordinates responded one after another, and the rest hesitated for a while, weighed the pros and cons and agreed. There were more than 50 people who responded in this way, which surprised Dong Xi and others.

Next, first register the personnel, in line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people without suspicion, Liu Yong recommended several leaders such as Zhou Cang from among them as commanders. In this way, it is only necessary to control those few commanders, and the people below will be much easier to manage. When those people saw that Liu Yong trusted him extremely much, they were both surprised and grateful. Liu Yong knows that if you want to get the trust of others, you must first trust others, not to mention that people at this time are extremely committed.

Dong Xi saw that Liu Yong was well arranged, and he was bold in employing people, he admired it in his heart, and said to Dong Yun: "Yun'er, you Brother Liu is really good." The life of the foolish brother is not easy to convince people, and now I really admire it tightly. ”

Dong Yun listened to Dong Xian's praise and looked at Liu Yong, her heart moved, and her face couldn't help but blush.

Then, Liu Yong and Dong Xi convened several commanders to discuss the specific actions at that time. Liu Yong is a layman in this regard, so he listened to Dong Xi, Zhou Cang and others discuss how to set up the formation, how to deal with it, and how to deal with the aftermath, and he added some suggestions.

Hua Tuo walked over and whispered to Liu Yong: "Can Liu Gongzi be useful for old age?" ”

Liu Yong's heart flickered, and he said happily: "Sir, have you drunk drowsy drugs there?" ”
