Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 203 Surrender troops and return to their hearts, Xuzhou military strategy!
The so-called risk is only in the eyes of outsiders.

As a matter of fact, every time Yuan Tan led his troops to an expedition, the preparations he made were incomparably sufficient.

Just like this surprise attack on Xuzhou.

Yuan Tan first learned of the existence of Xiaolu from the refugees fleeing famine.

Then he obtained mountaineering equipment and an alloy sword. After that, he really decided on the strategy of surprise attack on Xuzhou.

However, he didn't bother to explain too much about these things.

The surrender camp is not far from the prefect's mansion, which is what Yuan Tan took into account in the arrangement in advance.

Around the Prefect's Mansion, if there was any change in the surrender camp, he could quickly learn about it.

but……

Right now, it seems that the hearts of these surrendered soldiers have almost been gathered.

Before entering the barracks, the two soldiers guarding outside the barracks had already seen Yuan Tan and his party from afar.

Before Yuan Tan and the others could approach, they already bowed and saluted, their eyes filled with awe and admiration!
On the battlefield, a brave general can inspire soldiers greatly.

And a general who can always bring everyone victory, and every time it can be called a miraculous victory.

He himself, sitting in the army, is an extremely dazzling banner!

Even the most cowardly soldiers, under the leadership of such a general, can burst out with incredible fighting spirit!
The so-called sheep led by a lion can also tear apart a pack of wolves!
And Yuan Tan is this lion!

"I've seen the general!"

"See General!"

"Congratulations, General, for another big victory!"

As soon as you enter the surrender barracks, no matter if it is an ordinary soldier, or a general Qu and a military officer in the army.

The vast majority, when they saw Yuan Tan and others coming, they immediately stood up and saluted!

Even those soldiers who were still dissatisfied all lowered their heads obediently, not even having the courage to look at Yuan Tan.

The news of Yuan Tan breaking the ban was spread back to the surrender camp as early as the first time.

They don't know the exact news yet, but rumors are already flying everywhere.

It is said that three thousand breaks thirty thousand.

It is also said that three thousand breaks ten thousand.

Some even boasted that a thousand cavalry broke through a hundred thousand troops.

You can say anything.

But regardless of the rumors, the surrendered soldiers already knew a fact!
That is, Cao Ying has no reinforcements!
Right now the army is stalemate with Hebei at the ferry of the Yellow River.

Their only reliance is Yu Jin outside Xuzhou City.

But now Yu Jin has been defeated by Yuan Tan.

In other words, the only one who can decide their fate is Yuan Tan in front of them!

Therefore, the surrendered soldiers looked at Yuan Tan with admiration and worship.

There is also a bit of apprehension and worry!
After all, if Yuan Tan doesn't open his mouth and give them a clear arrangement, they will never let go!

Even those soldiers are worried about their future.

It's just that they were either out of face, or a little unwilling, and they didn't show it so obviously like other soldiers.

Yuan Tan didn't care about these soldiers.

He had a plan in mind for the arrangement of this group of people.

Yuan Tan doesn't care what they think or not at the moment.

What's more, now that Yu Jin has been defeated, just counting on them, they can still turn the world around?

Yuan Tan didn't even bother to glance at them, and strode directly to the high platform in the center of the surrender barracks.

The descendants had already surrounded Yuan Tan and others when they came in, and after seeing Yuan Tan coming to the high platform, they all gathered around one after another.

No matter how unresponsive a person is, he also realizes at this moment that Yuan Tan is probably here to announce his decision on their treatment when he comes here today.

But they didn't have any expectations for their own ending.

The worst outcome would be to be sent back to Hebei by Yuan Tan and become a tenant slave or something.

The best ending is to stay in the army and serve as cannon fodder.

However, they also heard some gossip that they were said to be fighting under the command of General Yuan Tan.

Even a small soldier can earn a promotion and receive rewards.

Maybe, they will also have a chance to get a head on the battlefield.

Not to mention being like a regular soldier, being able to rely on leaders to receive rewards.

As long as they can get rid of their status as cannon fodder, they will be satisfied.

However, Yuan Tan cleared his throat, and what he said stunned all the surrendered soldiers:

"I think you all know my name, so I won't introduce myself. I'm here today to announce three things."

Yuan Tan looked down at the soldiers below, and said lightly:

"The first thing, from today onwards, all of you will be disrupted and reorganized, and together with the soldiers and horses under my command, form the Xuzhou Army. In the Xuzhou Army, there will be no idlers and no cannon fodder. You don't have to worry about anything. A matter of death on the battlefield."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the soldiers below were stunned for a moment, but then showed ecstasy.

No need to be cannon fodder?
Is there such a good thing in the world?

Yuan Tan looked at the surrendered soldiers below who were shocked immediately, with an extremely calm expression.

Their reaction did not exceed his expectations. Rather, it is strange that the surrendered soldiers did not react at all to this ending.

Yuan Tan continued:

"However, don't be too happy too early. I will announce the second thing, which is the standard of my Xuzhou army!"

"I will set an assessment goal for you. The specific assessment goal will be announced later. I only have one point. Those who can't reach it, let alone stay in the Xuzhou Army, will not let you be dispatched to Hebei As tenants and serfs, you can leave Xuzhou directly and make a living by yourself."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the expressions of the soldiers below changed. After a while, many soldiers showed ecstasy!
There is a saying that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron should not be nailed.

Who would want to be a soldier if they didn't have to?
Not to mention that Cao Cao has lost battles year after year, and many soldiers are farmers who were directly captured from the countryside.

Forcibly recruiting soldiers is a routine operation for Cao Cao.

So when I heard Yuan Tan say that if they failed the assessment standard, they would be let out of the barracks directly.

Not only did this not frighten them, on the contrary, quite a few people had secretly decided to deliberately fail the assessment, so as to take this opportunity to leave the army.

I don’t want to live another hard life of tying my head to my waistband, living today but unable to survive tomorrow.

Even Gao Lan and Che Zhou could not help but change their expressions slightly after hearing Yuan Tan's arrangement.

Gao Lan is better, he has been with Yuan Tan for so long, he knows what Yuan Tan does, although sometimes it seems unreliable.

But in the end, there will always be some tricks.

But the carriage is different.

He only thought that Yuan Tan was a child of an aristocratic family, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he didn't understand the hearts of the soldiers of the lower ranks.

Only then did he say such a thing, and he was about to speak out.

But he was also worried that it would hurt Yuan Tan's prestige and make Yuan Tan hate him, but he hesitated for a while.

But the soldiers below have already begun to faintly commotion.

However, their determination not to pass the test has not yet been made.

Yuan Tan's words came again, causing all the soldiers to cry out in surprise!

Yuan Tan's words are very simple, just one sentence:

"Anyone who passes the assessment and enters the Xuzhou Army, the lowest level of soldiers, will be paid [-] yuan a month! Above the soldiers, the monthly salary will increase by [-] yuan for each level up!"
