Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Everything revolved around Gao Nu, and a new battlefield was opened up. Since Cao Jun dared to occupy the city alone, the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry was confident that they would be wiped out in Bingzhou.

The soldiers and horses of both sides flocked to the small town of Gaonu, and a big battle before the new year was about to begin.

With Xu Huang's troops stationed in Gaonu, Cao Jun began to act.

In the dark and damp Gaonu Prison, Cao Chun led Cheng Yu and was walking slowly forward.

The two talked while walking, Cheng Yu already had a general understanding of the matter, and also thought of a countermeasure.

The two stopped outside a cell, and Cao Chun waved someone to open the cell door.

In the cell, a penniless middle-aged man of forty was sitting on a bed covered with a broken quilt. From the official uniform he was wearing, it could be seen that he was a county magistrate.

Her hair was a little disheveled, and her face looked a little pale under the dim light.

Seeing Cao Chun leading a person in, the person closed his bloodshot eyes and turned to look at the wall.

Seeing that person like this, Cao Chunxian was a little displeased, and wanted to scold him, but was interrupted by Cheng Yu at the side.

Cheng Yu smiled and said: "I heard that you were elected, so the people in the city will definitely listen to your call."

Cheng Yu's words fell into that person's ears, as if stones had disappeared into the sea.

"Yes." Cheng Yu continued without any embarrassment, "Li Huiyi appointed officials privately without His Majesty's edict. This is not a minister. Do you want to serve under the rebel's command?"

"If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can tell His Majesty to officially appoint you as the magistrate of Gaonu County. If you can make meritorious deeds, it will not be a problem to serve as the governor of Shangjun County."

"Humph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and said coldly, "If you are an official and don't seek benefits for the people, then this official, it doesn't matter if you don't do it."

Under Li Huiyi's rule, almost everyone has accepted literacy, their minds and horizons have been broadened, and those who can be officials will not be so easily persuaded by others.

It's hard to buy with big profits, Cheng Yu turned around and said, "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your wife and children."

The middle-aged man said righteously: "Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence and righteousness, and will never harm anyone's wife and children. If my wife and children are wronged, it will be the actions of traitors like you!"

Cheng Yu said with a little anger, "What Yu wants you to do is very simple. I hope you will think about it."

"It's very simple?" The middle-aged man said: "Then I have to listen to it, how do you want me to do it?"

Cheng Yu said with joy on his face, "It's that simple to come out and persuade the people to obey the management."

The middle-aged man analyzed: "The so-called management, whether to pay food and people, supplement your army, and defend the city for you, so that you can make great contributions."

"If the city falls, you withdraw your troops and leave, leaving the city full of people who have lost their loved ones."

"Have you ever experienced the common people? You just use them as tools of war to gain benefits for you."

"Okay, okay, well said." Cheng Yu said with a strange face: "In this case, Nayu will let you see with your own eyes how these common people were recruited into the army and how the shops were reopened."

Since the county magistrate could not be persuaded, Cheng Yu decided to use force.

Ordering soldiers to escort the county magistrate, Cheng Yu led the way out of the cell, and asked Cao Chun to lead the army to gather the people and go to the market to wait for orders.

Although Cao Chun didn't know what Cheng Yu wanted to do, he left immediately to do so.

The bazaar, which had been abandoned for a long time, was now crowded with complaining people, which made people feel upset.

On the simple high platform, the county magistrate was seated by two Cao Jun, and Cheng Yu was sitting beside him.

Looking at the messy people, Cheng Yu shouted: "Quiet, quiet!"

Cheng Yu's voice sounded, and most of the people stopped whispering immediately, making the scene much quieter.

Seeing the obedient people, Cheng Yu said, "I invite you to come here today because I have something to say."

"That is, the Marquis of Liaodong committed the crime below, and has now been dismissed from his post by His Majesty. Nian Er and others will not be punished if they don't know the truth of the matter."

"But right now the bandit soldiers are so powerful that they fear that the city will be difficult to defend. Now we need you and other big men to guard the city for His Majesty."

When the people heard this, they began to whisper again, and there was a loud noise.

Let them guard the city against Li Huiyi's army, they will never do it.

Seeing the voice gradually getting louder, Cheng Yu stood up and shouted: "This time only 2 soldiers are recruited. Do you want to volunteer or be forced into the army!?"

Following Cheng Yu's voice, Cao Jun on the side also drew their swords one after another, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

Looking at the county magistrate with a moved face, Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Now you come forward, and you can resolve this matter gently."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being cast aside by the world?"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Everything is for His Majesty, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, even if it will be stigmatized for thousands of years, Yu will not hesitate."

"Hmph!" The county magistrate shook his head and said, "Do you know what the Marquis of Liaodong once said to us officials?"

Cheng Yu asked, "Oh, what did he say?"

The county magistrate said: "Officials are boats, and people are water. Water can carry a boat and overturn it." "

Hearing such novel words, Cheng Yu was taken aback at the time, but he still felt that the words were a bit too big.

But when he was in a daze, the county magistrate suddenly broke free from Cao Jun's control, and slammed into the rear wall with a loud voice.

"I lost the city, let the people suffer, have no face to face the fathers and fellow villagers, have no face to face the marquis, and can only apologize with death!"

"Quick! Stop him!"

"boom!"

Hearing Cheng Yu's call, Cao Jun hurried forward to stop him, but it was too late.

Seeing the county magistrate hit his head against the wall and died, the resentment of the people suddenly burst out.

"Fight them!"

"Yes, anyway, both left and right are dead!"

……

Looking at the passionate people, Cheng Yu immediately ordered Cao Jun to drive them home and not allow them to have any contact with each other again, so as not to rebel.

I thought everything was under control, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to commit suicide in front of the people.

After a lot of hands and feet, Cao Jun finally suppressed the rioting people.

Cao Chun, who was in a state of desperation, rushed to Cheng Yu's place in a hurry after arranging the matter at hand.

When the two met, Cao Chun was not in the mood to be polite, and asked directly, "What should we do now?"
