The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Buying People's Hearts
Everyone's reward, Yuan Yao, has already arranged for a man-made manual to be drawn up, and at the same time counts the dead, and prepares to condolences to the family after the war.

About an hour later, Qin Liangyu came back to Yuan Yao's side again, her brows were tightly frowned, and she could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

"The sentry sent out came back?"

"They're all back. The defeated Cao Jun went to Hefei County, Jiujiang County. According to those Cao Jun who surrendered, Cao Ren took [-] soldiers and horses to Xuzhou. It should be to cut off Liu Bei's escape from Yangzhou."

Qin Liangyu said worriedly, she is endowed with battlefield strategies and an overall view, it is not an exaggeration for her to be a military adviser.That's why Yuan Yao deliberately let him assist Gao Chong instead of letting him lead the army alone.

"Xuzhou? Liu Bei?"

Yuan Yao boasted: "At this time, Jiujiang County is just taking advantage of the emptiness. If our soldiers rushed in, wouldn't we be able to take advantage of it? Why is Liangyu frowning? Maybe something big will happen."

Qin Liangyu explained in detail: "Your lord, I don't know that Cao's army can't conquer Lujiang and attack Xuzhou. I'm afraid Cao Cao has already planned for a long time. Besides, there must be other soldiers rushing to kill Xuzhou. Judging from the current situation, Liu Bei will be defeated. If Liu Bei leaves, how can Cao Cao tolerate us occupying Jiujiang, and then he will stab him in the back? At that time, the soldiers who destroyed Liu Bei may be transferred to Jiujiang, and the consequences..."

Yuan Yao's back was sweating coldly, and then he recalled the trajectory of history. It is now October 199. After a year, the Battle of Guandu will break out, and Cao Cao devoted himself to the Battle of Guandu at this time. He sent troops to Xuzhou, beat Liu Bei, threw his wife and fled, and joined Yuan Shao, and then he said about the second brother's passing five hurdles and beheading six generals.

From this point of view, Jiujiang County can't do it blindly. If Cao Cao is really angered, it will be a waste of effort. This big boss is not easy to mess with.

"In your opinion, should we withdraw our troops back to Lu'an, or continue to wait here?"

Qin Liangyu replied: "From the point of view of the general, when sending troops to Jiujiang County, we should fight quickly. It is best to conquer Hefei and other large counties in Jiujiang County before Cao Cao reacts."

Yuan Yao didn't understand why such thankless beatings and handing over were justified.

Looking at Yuan Yao's frowning and puzzled expression, Qin Liangyu said: "There is a way to attack him by surprise, and by surprise, now Cao Jun must not have guessed that the lord would dare to attack Jiujiang County on his own initiative. If the troops go deep, Jiujiang County and other places will be within easy reach."

"Then coerce all the counties and counties to surrender troops, take advantage of Cao's counterattack, retreat all the way, confuse the enemy's mood, and then deploy defenses in Lu'an in advance, and defeat Cao's army in an upright manner, thus stabilizing the situation in the northeast of Lujiang County."

Interesting, is this a layout?It seems that Qin Liangyu's outlook on the battle situation is really well-deserved.

Yuan Yao replied: "What Liangyu said is very true. At this time, I will follow your will. After discussing with Gao Chong, you will work hard."

"The last will obey."

Qin Liangyu turned back and said: "Lu'an's precautions must not be slowed down. Now that the troops are going deep, it will be useless for the Lord to stay here. You might as well go back to Lu'an County early and take precautions."

"Okay, I'll take the surrendered soldiers back to Lu'an County tomorrow morning, the general is going here, be careful in everything."

"Thank you sir for your concern."

……

The next day, the army was divided into two. Yuan Yao led [-] white soldiers and [-] surrendered soldiers to Lu'an County. Gao Chong and Qin Liangyu led [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and two Cao Jun, who had just descended from Baixin, headed towards Hefei.

Qin Liangyu's principle of nourishing war with war is indeed the most beneficial to Yuan Yao at present. Not only can he train a team of elite soldiers who are not afraid of defense, but he can also grow his team slowly like a snowball rolling.

At that time, when Lujiang County has 5000 armored soldiers, people like Sun Ce and Cao Cao really have to weigh their teeth carefully.

After returning to Lu'an County, Yuan Yao immediately sent people to strengthen the city, dug trenches outside the city, spread antlers, and set up pools. He had to rely on the terrain to make it difficult for Cao Jun to move forward.

Outside the city of Dongmen, hundreds of people were digging a 100-meter-long, 10-meter-wide trench with hoes, and it was 2 meters deep.

Yuan Yao also called in the masons in the city to fill up the trench and use yellow mud water to deal with leaks. He also buried hundreds of antlers at the bottom of the trench. The sharp antlers can penetrate any boots before water is poured in.

"Bring it over!"

Following Yuan Yao's yell, dozens of strong men walked over slowly carrying sacks of sacks.

There were more than 50 of them, and the inside of the sack was bulging. When I opened it, I found that it was full of white powder.

This white powder is not an ordinary object, it is lime, a treasure discovered by Yuan Yao. In this era, the use of lime is only limited to wall painting and dehumidification, and its maximum value has not been exploited before.

Now Yuan Yao wants to use lime as a trap.

"Pour all the lime in."

At Yuan Yao's order, all the lime in the sack was poured into the pool, and some soldiers used the long poles that had been prepared to stir it non-stop. After a while, the pool began to bubbling.

Yuan Yao poked his hand a little, and a sense of dryness and heat came from his fingers. If a person falls down, once he stirs inside, he will not be able to peel off a layer of skin alive.

"My lord, can this thing work?"

Qin Bangping came over and asked.

"Haha..., if a person falls, it will be extremely sour."

Qin Banghan also came over, stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was really hot, and said loudly: "Master, but Cao Jun will not commit crimes knowingly? Seeing that the situation is wrong, how can the people behind fall into the trap again."

"Good question!"

Yuan Yao responded quickly, "If we spread turf on it, how would Cao Jun know that we should make it firmer in front, so that at least two or three hundred people can fall into the lime water."

Qin Bangping nodded silently, he can kill people invisible without any effort, so why not do it.

In addition to this lime pond, there are countless deep trenches and holes. If Cao Jun is not careful, he will get lost, and he can kill the enemy invisible.

At the head of Lu'an city, the rolling wood and falling rocks have already been fully prepared, and it is only waiting for Cao Jun to come and take the bait.

With everything ready, Yuan Yao summoned the [-] newly surrendered Cao Jun and prepared to start his pre-war mobilization.

"Do you know who I am?"

Everyone was indifferent, before the ghost knew that Yuan Shu had another son, now they had to face up to this person, Yuan Yao, the current master of Lujiang County, was also their new master.

"My name is Yuan Yao, and I am the son of Yuan Shu. From now on, you will all be under my control. I can let you live or die."

"Is it life? Is it death? It all depends on your performance!"

Yuan Yao pointed to a strong man in front of him and said, "What's your name? How much does Cao Cao pay you in a year?"

The brawny man bit the bullet and replied: "The villain Zhao Ming can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year."

Ten thousand dollars, that is, one tael of gold.

Yuan Yao said loudly: "This prefect will give you three taels of gold a year. After serving for three years, you can let you go home to visit your relatives. If you are willing to come back after visiting relatives, you will be rewarded with land so that you can take your family to me. Rule the land, live and work in peace and contentment."

Everyone was in an uproar, this is the benefit of the pie in the sky, it is rare to come by, and now the soldiers can only make a living, and subsidize the family by the way, three taels of gold, but enough to support the family, without worrying about food and clothing .

"Is there anyone who is willing? If there is, I will pay the military salary for half a year now."

As Yuan Yao's words fell, Qin Banghan had already ordered people to bring two boxes of gold, which were shining golden and very dazzling.

"I……"

"I……"

"And I……"

Two in a row, two with four, and then everyone shouted loudly, anyway, they are working with their lives tied to their belts, and it doesn't matter who they work for, as long as they have money.

Under Yuan Yao's signal, the white soldiers distributed one to two five pieces of gold to no one, and everyone beamed with joy.

When Yuan Yao waited for everyone's emotions to become more and more high, he said in a deep voice: "But if someone takes money, disobeys orders on the battlefield, and retreats before the battle, then no wonder I am cruel. One person escapes, one is punished, and one is escaped. Hundreds of people are guilty .”

"Shh..."

Everyone gasped, it was a case of connivance, but looking at the gold in their hands, they were instantly swayed by interest, and the unhappiness in their hearts was smoothed away.
