This battle was Liu Yao's greatest victory since the day he started his army.
They had annihilated more than six thousand enemies and captured more than thirteen thousand Yellow Turban soldiers!
13,000 people didn't seem like a lot, but to Liu Yao, it was definitely a force that was difficult to digest. After all, he didn't have enough food to feed more people.
Let go?
Should he learn from Old Cao and kill them all?
That Liu Yao would definitely be charged with cruelty and cruelty. In addition to his identity as a relative of the Han royal family, he would definitely be treated as gossip by some people with ulterior motives in the future. If he were to launch a fishing ship attack, Liu Yao would definitely be criticized in word and in writing!
Liu Yao was about to laugh. Even a large county couldn't hold 13,000 prisoners, let alone a small county.
Regarding the issue of how to deal with this batch of prisoners of war, it gave Xue Rengui and Luo Yi a huge headache!
However, Liu Yao had a trick up his sleeve!
Human power!
No matter which era it was, it was the number one productive force!
Especially in the era of cold weapons, it was the only productive force and combat power. As long as there were people, they could continuously produce food, taxes, and troops!
Although Liu Yao did not have his own territory like Old Cao in history, he had his own mansion. Moreover, King Pei's Mansion had thousands of fertile fields, and most of them were abandoned.
If he could make use of it effectively, it would definitely be able to evolve into combat strength in the future and become a capital for Liu Yao to dominate the world in the future.
Let the garrison system that made Old Cao rise to power be implemented in Liu Yao's Pei Wang Mansion now!
Moreover, there was the butler A'san in Prince Pei's Mansion. He could definitely arrange for these Yellow Turban bandits to be well arranged!
Therefore, Liu Yao first ordered Xue Rengui to choose as many elite soldiers as possible from the more than 10,000 prisoners and compile them into his troops. The remaining people were required to work for Pei Wang Fu with a five-tenths of the land tax.
Don't think that the five-tenths of the land tax was very high. In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, in this era of cannibalism, being able to afford food was already luxurious enough. Who would care about the five-tenths of the land tax!
In the hearts of these Yellow Turban bandits, Liu Yao was much more reliable than that illusory great virtuous teacher!!!
The next morning, Xue Rengui began to select soldiers and horses. However, his standards were very high. After all, he had to follow the elite soldiers route that Liu Yao had set.
Xue Rengui had arranged for the entire army to be selected for the entire morning, but only seven hundred qualified soldiers were selected. Not even one-tenth of all the Yellow Turban soldiers were selected, which showed how harsh Xue Rengui was!
There were still twelve thousand Yellow Turban left. It was almost no different from not having any selections!
No matter how powerful Prince Pei's Mansion was, it was impossible for them to digest so many Yellow Turban in one go. If nothing unexpected happened, once these people were assigned to the world and received the protection of Prince Pei's Mansion, they would definitely bring their families over to live with them!
This…
It was extremely awkward.
Liu Yao had no choice but to speak to Xu Chu.
The Xu family of Qiao County was a big family. Although there were not thousands of abandoned fields in the family, there were not a few. If they could make good use of it, it would definitely be a win-win situation.
Xu Chu agreed readily. That afternoon, he ordered Xu Fu to bring the Yellow Turban bandits to Qiao County and Pei County!
The Yellow Turban bandits were originally an army made up of farmers, and the direct reason why they rose up to resist was because they did not have the land to cultivate and could not support their families. Therefore, they rebelled.
Now, when they heard that Liu Yao could help them solve the problem of farmland, they were all overjoyed. Even if Liu Yao let them escape without any precautions, they would not escape.
Before he left, Liu Yao bought a large number of seeds from the system, including wheat, corn, rice, sweet potatoes, etc. According to the characteristics of plants such as drought resistance, he gave them to Xu Fu and ordered him to pass them to Ah San.
At the same time, there was another reason for sending Xu Fu back!
Even though he had resigned from his post as a county captain, he still had the experience of a county captain and had fought in life and death situations. It should not be a problem for him to set up a garrison army in Prince Pei's Mansion and Xu Castle to protect himself.
After all, these Yellow Turban soldiers also had the experience of fighting on the battlefield. Once they benefited from the wasteland, they would certainly wholeheartedly protect this hard-earned wealth!
Therefore, Liu Yao was not worried that the Yellow Turban Army would rebel in a short period of time!
After a busy day, Liu Yao was finally able to rest. After a beautiful bath, Liu Yao was ready to go to bed to rest, but at this time, Xue Rengui came to ask for an audience.
"Rengui, what happened?"
Liu Yao frowned and asked.
"My lord, someone from the camp reported that Mu Bai seems to be looking for something in Sizhu County.”
Xue Rengui immediately said.
"What is it?"
Liu Yao was puzzled." What happened? Tell me slowly."”
"Yes!" Xue Rengui cupped his fists and said," It's like this…"
So it turned out!
Xue Rengui was ordered to place the seven hundred selected soldiers among the one thousand and three hundred soldiers. That night, the Yellow Turban Army had already integrated into the group and started chatting with Liu Yao's army.
As he spoke, he started talking about the new Yellow Turban commander, Floating Cloud. Floating Cloud had already attacked Sizhu County for dozens of days, so why didn't he leave?
According to their explanation, Mu Bai seemed to be looking for something!
"As for what it is exactly, this general is not clear!”Xue Rengui apologized," But this thing seems to be related to Zhang Jiao, the General of Heaven Duke. I heard that Zhang Jiao seemed to have awakened the spirit of a real dragon."”
"True Dragon Divine Soul?" "Are you sure that Zhang Jiao can awaken the True Dragon God Soul?" Liu Yao was shocked. Doesn't that mean he…"
"Of course, this is only a rumor among the Yellow Turban Army. Few people have seen Zhang Jiao's real soul transform into a real dragon. I speculate that this is just a way for Zhang Jiao to bewitch people.”
Xue Rengui expressed his opinion.
"I only heard that what Mu Bai is looking for is related to Zhang Jiao's awakened True Dragon God Soul!”Xue Rengui said.
"Have you searched Mu Bai's residence?”
"Yes!" Xue Rengui nodded heavily." I discovered this."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082420183:17PM
