Chapter 35: The Strangeness of the Captives

In the late autumn of 200 AD, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu, forcing Yuan Shao to lead 800 cavalry back to Hebei.

"See Master Hou!" On the morning of the third day of the decisive battle of Guandu, LΓΌ Rui returned to Cao's military camp. Cao Cao had already returned to the Guandu military camp with his captives.

"Huh? Why are there still soldiers feasting? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, it should have been a celebration banquet yesterday, why are there still soldiers celebrating today? Could it be that the celebration feast has been postponed?

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Sikong feasted the whole army last night, and they were soldiers who did not attend the dinner." The soldier guarding the door returned to Lu Rui.

"So much?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, rewarding the whole army, it can't be that all the people are drunk, and they have to keep people on guard, but there are a lot of people left this time, it seems that there are at least 10,000 people!

"See the lord!" Lu Rui didn't think much about it, and went directly to the main account to see Cao Cao.

"Oh? Extraordinary coming? The matter of food and grass has been taken care of? ”

"Back to the lord, it has been processed, and after the grain and grass arrive in Fan County, it will be transported to Xudu."

"Good job!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's just right that Bufan is here, and the middle father has something to discuss with you." Cao Cao motioned for Lu Rui to sit down.

"Please make it clear to my father!"

"Extraordinary, Xu Du's grain and grass are enough for the military needs of 150,000 people?"

"150,000 people!" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, when did Cao Cao drill out so many people?

"Yes, extraordinary, Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran led a large army of 60,000 people to serve our army. Yuan Shao captured 70,000 prisoners. plus the non-commissioned officers of our army stationed in Guandu. 150,000 people in total! ”

"Middle Father? We captured Yuan Shao's 70,000 troops? Lu Rui was taken aback, Lu Rui has been in this era for more than ten years, and he has a lot of experience with Cao Cao in the south and north, but it is the first time that 70,000 people have been captured!

"Yes, we captured 70,000 Yuan Shao, 70,000 soldiers!" Cao Cao showed a greedy look in his eyes, 70,000 soldiers were not ordinary people. Cao Cao recruited more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and recruited 100,000 people from them, of which only 20,000 could go directly to the battlefield, this time it was three times!

"Father Zhong, originally Xu Du's food stock was not enough for the army, but in Yi Rui's opinion, with Wuchao's military rations, it is not a problem to supply 70,000 prisoners, please rest assured that Father Zhong!"

"Good! After our army retreated to Xudu, 70,000 people were handed over to Extraordinary Tuntian! "Captured soldiers can't go straight into battle. After all, there is still the question of loyalty, and the later generations said that ideological education should be the first. Only when you pass the education can you go to the battlefield.

"Yes, Father!"

In the Cao army's barracks, where the high-ranking prisoners were held, he looked at the Cao camp, and the 70,000 captives were all used as coolies, collecting the bodies of the dead and consolidating the camp for the Cao army. Although everyone was depressed, their eyes were revealing in addition to unwillingness! There is even resentment.

Fu Zhu smiled, this is what he wants, Cao Jun now everyone has an arrogant atmosphere, and he is disrespectful to the captives, and even the old Jizhou army with Zhang Jaw and Gao Lan is quite rhetorical about his old comrades. The mourning soldiers will win! When this unwilling state of mind evolves into resentment and anger, it is the time to fight back!

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and work, or you won't be fed! A lieutenant of the Cao army whipped Yuan's captives with a leather whip and told them to speed up the construction of damaged military buildings.

"Fart!" One of the captives could not stand the whipping of Cao Jun and began to resist.

"Kill!" As soon as the captain gave the order, the prisoners of the Yuan army were killed, and although the prisoners of the Yuan army next to them rarely resisted, many of them showed fierce eyes in their eyes.

At night, Lu Rui walked out of his military tent.

Murderous? There was a strange murderous aura in Cao Jun's barracks!

Lu Rui stopped, it was not strange that there was a murderous aura in the barracks, but this murderous momentum was not a precipitated murderous aura, but a hidden murderous aura.

Lu Rui looked around, the murderous aura came from the prisoner camp, could it be that the prisoner had resentment in his heart? became a prisoner, and still want to fight back against Cao Jun?

"Extraordinary?"

"Uncle Ziyuan!" Lu Rui looked back, it turned out that Xu You was here, Xu You also came for a walk so late?

"Why is Extraordinary here?" Xu You walked to Lu Rui's side and straightened his clothes.

"It's okay, come out for a walk, why is my uncle here?"

"Do things for Mengde!"

"Doing something for my middle father?"

"Not bad! Meng De didn't capture the original army, but came to make statistics. ”

"I see!" Captives must also be counted, and their names, places of origin, and official positions must be recorded, otherwise there will be no information, and it will be troublesome to find people.

"Uncle, in the prisoner barracks, can you find anything wrong?" Lu Rui was worried about the strange murderous aura in his heart.

"After saying it, my uncle thinks that the prisoner camp is not simple."

"Why?" Lu Rui hurriedly grabbed Xu You's hand and asked.

"Uncle can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but when he entered the prisoner camp today, his uncle actually felt a trace of resentment!"

"Resentment?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, the captured soldiers were unwilling, and there would definitely be a little, but the soldiers who had just been defeated actually had resentment that could be felt by Xu You, which was a bit weird.

"Yes, my uncle fought in all directions with the original army, and the morale of the newly defeated army was sluggish, and the soldiers would be sluggish, and even lose their fighting spirit, but in the prisoner camp of the Yuan army, I actually felt resentful, it was really strange!"

"It's really strange, Rui is unheard of!"

"Fanfan, don't think about it, it's getting late, Fanfan should go back to the camp and rest!" Xu You hurried back to finish the character, showed his hand in front of Cao Cao, and it would be a waste of time to chat with Lu Rui again.

"Okay, uncle, please! Rui excuses me! Lu Rui arched his hand and gave one to Xu You. A good Xu Ziyuan, his understanding of Cao Cao is very good, although Cao Cao values the old feelings, but he will not use incompetent people, Xu Yu wants to show himself!

"Thank you so much!" Xu Yu arched his hand and left. Lu Rui also returned to his military tent, tired for a few days, it is better to rest!

It was just about to dawn, and in Xu You's military tent, the oil lamp had not been extinguished, and Xu You didn't sleep all night in order to deal with the prisoners.

Looking at the information he had collected, Xu You's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and finally became two mountain characters! These captives? There are so many Bohai Navy?

Yuan Shao's actual control of the military power is in the Bohai Taishou post, the formation of the Bohai Navy with this army to level Jizhou, to fight Youzhou, and finally unify the four states of Hebei, although after years of conquest, the Bohai Navy has been greatly reduced, but now the prisoner camp of Bohai County actually has 5,000 people!

"Could it be that Frustration wants to take advantage of these captives?" Xu You was taken aback by his thoughts, is this possible?

In Cao Jun's barracks, in the military tent of the frustrated man, the frustrated personal soldiers knelt below.

"What's wrong with those captains?"

"Mr. Huiyu, the captains are very obedient, and they spread rumors among the captives that our army should not be defeated by the Cao army, and stimulate the fighting spirit of the captives, and now the entire prisoner camp is full of dissatisfaction with the Cao army."

"Okay, you go back and tell those captains, make a fuss about Cao Jun's bullying of the prisoners, make it as big as possible, let them remember that Cao Jun is not victorious, bullying the prisoners, and let them publicize not to be afraid of Cao Jun, but a group of sneak attacks won our army's Cao soldiers!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Also, Cao Jun will definitely deduct the food supplied to our army, and I want the captain or the captain to make a fuss about this and vent his dissatisfaction with Cao Jun!"

"Subordinates understood!"

"Tell those lieutenants and commanders not to worry, wait for Cao Cao to escort the prisoners back to Xudu before acting, now everything, you have to endure, don't happen to any group disobey Cao Jun!"

"No!"

Looking at the figure of his own soldiers in the distance, he smiled weirdly, Cao Mengde, Xu Ziyuan, look at how you deal with my plan!

"It's really weird!" Xu Yu went to the prisoner camp at dawn, and the prisoners had already begun to work, but the prisoners were actually efficient? This is a peculiar phenomenon. Generally speaking, captives are basically depressed during the month they are captive, but this kind of efficiency has nothing to do with depression!

It is impossible for the captives to turn their hearts to Cao Jun so quickly, it seems that this is a conspiracy, frustrated? I underestimate you, Hebei's No. 1 resource? Maybe it's not me! (To be continued......)
