The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

It was my fault that I left him and went back to the study yesterday, but if there hadn't been a sudden increase of 500 people, the work would not have increased so much suddenly.

It's not just about incorporating people into the army. It is necessary to select suitable archers, which means that the original establishment needs to be disrupted and reorganized.In the past, he would not say anything about expanding the army. The number of people increased and the combat power plummeted. In the end, they were even inferior to the Yellow Turban Bandits.

Insufficient materials were purchased directly from local merchants, and the merchants made a fortune, so they must sing praises.This is definitely from the heart. If it is a different military master, it may be possible to forcefully recruit.

On the contrary, he earned some fame, which according to Liu Tao was a retreat, but what he actually lost was money in the army.Sure enough, if the retreat is too much, the pragmatism will be implicated.

"I understand this truth, and I promise there will be no next time." Liu Tao nodded. It is impossible for an army to increase its manpower without limit. Among other things, the Zhen family will definitely not be able to hold on.As for the nominal boss in Youzhou, he has not provided any military rations so far.

After a pause, he asked back, "Those books..."

"I have already copied a copy, and then handed over the original to the county magistrate, who will arrange it." Lu Yan replied immediately.

Even if these bamboo slips have become ownerless, since he declared that he would not take a needle and a thread, it is unreasonable to take other people's bamboo slips away.Therefore, copying a copy and returning the original is basic common sense, and no one can fault it.

Anxi County is fifty miles away from Liwu County, and it may take half a day to arrive with the elite troops of the imperial court.However, Liu Tao's army had to divide it into two days to march.

After traveling less than 25 miles, the army began to station on the spot.Scouts go out to find out if there are thieves entrenched around, or the camp of thieves.The soldiers who stayed behind began to practice, especially the archers for shooting training.

The addition of 300 people means that there will be three more village chiefs and six team leaders.Liu Tao originally intended to support that, and Yang She, who had performed well in the siege battle before, served as the head of the village, but the latter's decision surprised him.

"Are you going to come here to be a soldier?" Liu Tao was a little confused, leaving the head of the village alone, he actually planned to be a soldier.

"Yes, my subordinates would rather be a small soldier than a personal soldier, and ask the lord to help you!" Yang She replied calmly.

The title lord is a bit interesting, after all most of the soldiers, even some officers, just call him officer.The two parties are in a subordinate relationship, just like Sun Jian under Zhu Jun's command, it is impossible for Sun Jian to call Zhu Jun 'lord', right?

Calling the lord this time means becoming his doorman.Some freedom is lost, but the two of them are buttoned together, after all, this is already regarded as "one's own person".

For example, after Cao Cao became prime minister, those Han officials who followed Emperor Xian were basically marginalized.The ones who are really reused are those old ministries who call them 'lords'.For yourselves, don't worry if you use it!

Yang She was born as a knight-errant, so he didn't expect that his consciousness was so high and his attitude was so low, but Liu Tao had no excuse to reject him.

"But it's not appropriate for you to start directly as a soldier..." Liu Tao finally accepted him and let him start as a soldier.As for the original Shichang, he was transferred to the bow and arrow unit and served as the head of the village.

Some people thought Yang She was stupid, but soon, they regretted why they didn't do that.

After becoming the chief of the personal army, after calling this 'Lord', Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and even Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu became closer to Yang She.Perhaps it was because the person in front of him was already regarded as a 'one of my own'.

Around noon the next day, the large army had already arrived in Liwu County. According to Liu Tao's wishes, the scouts brought the nitrated heads of Gao Sheng to the city to persuade them to surrender.Liu Tao didn't think that the thief would surrender after seeing Gao Sheng's head, but it could shake the opponent's morale, which was a good result.

"Sir!" Unexpectedly, the sent scouts quickly returned to the army and said excitedly, "Liwu County has surrendered!"

"Surrender...surrender? Really surrender?" Liu Tao really didn't realize it. Could it be that he can really surrender?

I just thought it was a bit unbelievable, so I looked at the personal panel, and unknowingly, there were 200 more experience points.He remembered the original value very clearly, and now it is indeed 200 points more.

Wait a minute, do you have experience in surrender?Liu Tao was a little surprised. It is said that the war has not officially started yet, and the magic power in the non-war state will not receive the bonus of Yuanchang magic. Just look at the personal panel to see it at a glance.In the terms of the game Heroes of Invincibility, it means that the neutral force has just launched an attack, and the opponent surrendered at the moment of contact.

In this situation in the game, there are often three directions: neutral forces need you to pay a certain amount, and they will join your team; contact neutral forces, they admire you very much, and join your team unconditionally; Scatter for your life, you can choose to let them run or chase them.

Now, it is equivalent to encountering the second situation. The fight has not yet started, and the opponent has chosen to surrender unconditionally.

One of the characteristics of Seventh Generation is that even if the opponent flees in all directions, he can gain a certain amount of experience, let alone the option of 'accepting the opponent's surrender'.Of course, the experience points obtained through this method are naturally not as much as fighting a battle.

It's just 200 experience points, which is still too little... Liu Tao complained in his heart.

"Brother, is there any deceit?" Seeing Liu Tao thinking, Lu Yan thought he was releasing the Sky Eye, so she stepped forward to ask.

"No, this time the other party sincerely surrendered. Having said that, first disarm them and take care of them separately." Liu Tao shook his head, then shouted at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The two agreed, and hurried over to take over the defense of Liwu County.It's just that I was a little unhappy in my heart, and I surrendered before I hit it.

When Liu Tao entered the city, Zhang Fei had already led people to count the prisoners, and went forward to report: "Brother, there are two hundred bandits in Liwu County, and they all surrendered. The county magistrate and county lieutenant arranged by the bandits have already escaped first. "

"General!" The leader of the Yellow Turban Bandits spoke, "We are all the people who were coerced by the bandits earlier. We didn't intend to seek rebellion, but we are in the camp of bandits and our family members are in their hands. Now that I surrender, I don't want to live, I just want the general to let me and my family go..."

"I implore the general to let me wait for my family!" The other prisoners also responded one after another, speaking sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts.

"Let me think about it for one night, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Liu Tao almost immediately wanted to agree, but just about to say it, he finally swallowed it, and finally managed to hold back the sentence.

"Thank you, General!" What I didn't expect was that they solemnly thanked them even though they obviously didn't reply.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed clear that if Zhu Jun was like that, he would kill him immediately, without any hesitation at all.But since he had to think about it for one night, it meant that he was shaken.In this way, at least things have turned around.

"Brother..." Lu Yan stepped forward, he was really worried that Liu Tao would recruit these 200 people again.

"I have my own plan!" Liu Tao shook his head, this Lu Yan didn't believe his promise too much.

Chapter 93

Leaving aside how to deal with the thieves, the law and order in Liwu County needs to be taken over immediately.

Lu Yan didn't even need Liu Tao's other instructions, and immediately ordered Shangguan Yu to lead people up to the city wall to be on guard.At the same time, Liu Ge, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's subordinates took turns to inspect.

Those who take advantage of the fire to rob, move strangely, and behave illegally will be imprisoned and await punishment, and those who are serious will be beheaded directly.Even if Liu Tao has stated clearly that these culprits sincerely surrender, there is no room for sloppy things like this.

"Brother, we can no longer recruit these thieves..." After Lu Yan made arrangements for this, he had to persuade Liu Tao with Jian Yong.

"I didn't intend to include them, and you can see that they didn't think that we would let them go with good intentions. But if they were killed like this, what would their families, especially those children, think? The seeds of hatred have already Even if you sell these people into slavery, who knows if you will become an avenger when you grow up?" Liu Tao shook his head.

"My lord's words are very true. Eliminate all evil and do everything without mercy!" Jian Yong thought it made sense, and it would be safe to kill them all.

Now, on the contrary, Lu Yan couldn't bear it. Didn't he want to kill five or six hundred people in one go?

"Here is the problem. If we kill them all, the thieves in other counties will probably have two reactions after knowing this. Either they will disperse, and we can take down the county town without bloodshed. It is not ruled out that the other party is in Before fleeing, ransack the county town again... The second possibility is that they drive out the people in the city and fight us endlessly..." Liu Tao compared two fingers.

After all, if there is a dead end no matter where you go, you can either run away with the money and try your best, or fight crazy to find a way out.As long as it is a human being, in the face of this situation, there are probably these two choices.

Conversely, if these people survived, would the other county towns also be able to look forward to it?It doesn't cost a single soldier, and you can conquer several counties without fighting, and the cost is almost zero, which is really profitable.

"The elder brother means..." Lu Yan was a little confused about Liu Tao's plan.

"Let them select by themselves, according to our earlier selection criteria for recruiting thieves. The remaining people will be sold to the major families in Zhongshan as servants." Liu Tao had already had an idea.

Using this method, the biggest advantage is that there will still be beheadings, and at the same time, a sum of military expenses can be obtained by selling the culprits.This road has passed five or six counties, and if all of them are counted, the income must be quite a lot.

"This is not good..." Lu Yan hesitated, although the family has bought a few servants since Lu Zhi became prosperous.Not to mention Zhang Fei's family, there are quite a few servants.But I can't bear to buy and sell people by myself.

"This is the method with the least hidden dangers!" Liu Tao replied, "It is also the method with the greatest benefits!"

Selling the Yellow Turban Thieves was not his original creation. I read novels before time travel and saw many 'senior' doing that.I don't deny that there are some hidden dangers in doing so, but it is not a big problem on a small scale.

The key is that he needs money, a lot of money.Since four or five years ago, Luoyang began to publicly sell officials.Even if this time to seek thieves, he will become a county magistrate or county lieutenant after accumulating meritorious service.If you want to take office, you have to pay money.

Liu Tao didn't pay attention to the specific amount of money at the time, but felt that even if he was a clan member of the Han family, there was probably no way to exempt him from paying the money he should pay.Of course, there may be no need to pay, but I have some money on hand, and I can spread the situation as soon as possible after taking office.

"My lord is kind, these thieves must be very grateful." Jian Yong weighed in and agreed.
