Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"It's okay, this king has his own way!"

However, Cao Chao's attitude was extremely resolute, and all the soldiers dared not speak up when they saw this.

But the worry is still there, and they all want to see what Cao Chao will come up with tomorrow.

In the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Yu Lan and Yu Qing arrived together.

"Suffocated, fight the landlord with us?" Yu Qing confidently took out the poker cards and shook them in front of Cao Chao.

"Hehe~"

Cao Chao glanced at the woman.

People are addicted to food, there is no compulsion!

"How dare you look down on me? Let me tell you, I'm amazing now!" Yu Qing said arrogantly

"No time, I have to go to the prisoner-of-war camp to surrender tomorrow!"

Cao Chao waved his hand, thinking about letting this chick stay where she is cool.

I'm going to be so busy, what kind of landlords are I still fighting for!

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Yu Qingxiao's eyes lit up.

"Hey, this is good, my sister and I are going too!"

Cao Chao: "..."

Chapter 172

Inside the POW camp.

More than 7000 people gathered, and the school grounds were crowded with people.

Since the defeat and surrender, these people have been imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp outside Nanzheng City.

There is no shortage of food on weekdays, but there is no explanation for several days in a row, and many people start to feel uneasy.

However, today they were suddenly rushed to the school grounds to gather, and they realized that something big was about to happen.

After a while, Cao Chao led hundreds of people, including the two sisters of the Yu family.

This is something that can't be helped, Yu Qing's character is too out of character, when she heard that Cao Chao was going out of the city, she clamored to follow her.

In desperation, Cao Chao had no choice but to let the two sisters pretend to be soldiers and mix by his side.

After boarding the high platform, Cao Chao pointed to the side and said loudly:

"Which of you were from Nanzheng at that time, stand to the right.

"The rest stand on the left!"

The voice fell, but no one responded.

Cao Chao frowned, and said impatiently: "I'll count to five, whoever stays where they are, kill them!"

Hearing that he was going to be beheaded, the soldiers below became anxious and rushed to the left and right.

As a result, more than 7000 people had already stood on the left and right before the count was over.

Cao Chao looked carefully and found that there were more than 2 people standing on the right, and more than 4000 to nearly 5000 on the left.

He raised his finger to the group on the left: "Since you are not from Nanzheng, I allow you to go back.

"Each of you go over there to pick up a bag of millet, and then you can leave."

"what?"

"Really?"

After hearing this, these people looked at Cao Chao in disbelief.

"You have no jokes!"

Although Cao Chao said it firmly, no one dared to move their feet for a while.

After all these years of fighting, they haven't heard of anyone letting prisoners of war go.

This really subverted their long-standing cognition.

Could it be that they want to cheat us?

However, there was still some boldness in the end. A soldier tentatively stepped forward, picked up a bag, and walked towards the gate of the camp.

No one obstructed the way until the figure completely disappeared behind the camp.

Seeing this, everyone finally knew what Cao Chao said was true, so they rushed up to grab the corn, and left in twos and threes after taking it.

The Han army witnessed all this, and no one stood up to obstruct it.

Soon, all 5000 people left, and the left hand side was empty.

Only then did Cao Chao look at the remaining 2 people on his right.

"As for you, since you are all natives of Nanzheng, you can stay here with peace of mind.

"I promise you, here you are treated the same as my soldiers, no one will bully you.

"As long as you kill the enemy well, you will all be promoted in the future.

"Okay, that's all for today, and start editing now!"

After Cao Chao said what he said, no one followed him, but many people's eyes were brighter.

The waist straightened a little bit, and he was no longer depressed like when he was defeated in the previous battle.

Zhu Gongdao, Yanyun Shibaqi and Shibaqi Yanjiang were left behind to reorganize the team, while Cao Chao led the Canglang King and the two daughters back to the commander's tent.

"Canglang, just ask whatever you want, there is no need for too many scruples between you and me."

Seeing the wolf king's hesitant expression, Cao Chao said with a smile.

"Why did the master release those five thousand prisoners of war? Wouldn't it be good to stay and farm?"

"no"

Cao Chao shook his head: "Different from the time in Nanzhong, these Qin people are not locals, and they don't care about it.

"If you force them to stay, it will only waste manpower to take care of them. When the Qin people attack, you have to be on guard against him surrendering to the enemy. It's not worth it!"

"Then why send food?"

Having been with Cao Chao for so long, the Canglang King probably understands Cao Chao's character.

The master of his own family has never softened his heart when dealing with his enemies.

There must be a reason for doing this now, but he couldn't figure it out.

Sure enough, before the Canglang King could figure it out, Cao Chao's voice came from next to his ear.

"Because this king wants to destroy the fighting spirit of the Qin people!"

"This……"

The Canglang King looked puzzled.

Don't talk about the Canglang King, even the two little girls who have been eavesdropping behind them don't understand what this wave is about.

Sending food will only make the other party grateful at best, so how can it break down the fighting spirit?

Perhaps seeing through the thoughts of the three of them, Cao Chao smiled lightly.

"If you want to take it, you must first give it.

"The soldiers of the Qin people are brave and good at fighting, firstly because of strict military discipline, secondly because of the military merit system, and thirdly because they will be killed after being captured, which is absolutely unreasonable.

"Now that we know that our army not only won't kill prisoners, but will treat them kindly, do you think they will work so hard in future battles?

"When the Qin people fight with us again in the future, if we are at a disadvantage, some people will definitely choose to surrender easily, and the army's morale will be disturbed at that time."

After finishing speaking, Cao Chao drifted away, leaving behind the three people who were on the spot in astonishment.

Just then, a scout returned.

"My lord, there are warships coming towards Nanzheng."

"???"

Chapter 173

"Where did this ship come from?"

"It should be from Shu."

After listening to the scout's report, Cao Chao frowned.

He had just captured Nanzheng on his side, so it was impossible for Shu to receive the news so quickly.

"Could it be..."

A thought flashed across Cao Chao's eyes.

Come on, hurry to find Zhu Gongdao and come to discuss.

……

Twenty miles away, on the Han River, there are countless boats, thousands of boats racing, and flags waving.

On the first large ship, countless soldiers were gathering on the deck, pointing fingers at the shore one after another.

"The shore is going to the market, it's so lively!"

"Look, look, someone is juggling!"

"Where is where?"

"there!"

On the shore, the lights were brightly lit, and three big men in different clothes were guarding a big box covered with a black cloth.

For about three feet, the audience was surrounded.

As the breeze blows, the black cloth flutters with the wind, and the corners of the cloth inadvertently reveal the scales and scratches underneath, which arouses everyone's curiosity.
