Chapter 46-Establishing a Base in Youzhou, Future Plans! (New Book 4/7)
Youzhou, Ji County.
A month had passed since Cheng Zhiyuan led the army to surround the city.
However, the grass on Cheng Zhiyuan's grave was now more than half a foot tall.
Most of the Yellow Turban soldiers he brought with him were defeated, and the remaining small portion was captured.
After capturing these Yellow Turban soldiers, Chen Peng did not start a massacre. Instead, he used another method to deal with them.
This method was known as reform through labor.
Reformed through labor.
He would give these people land and then let them farm, becoming small households in the hands of the Chen father and son.
It could also be considered another form of land cultivation.
At this time, there were more than thirty thousand people in Ji County.
They were all captured in the last battle.
It was spring now, and it was just in time for farming. These people were lucky enough to survive.
Otherwise, Chen Peng couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to do something appalling.
The appointment letter from the imperial court had already been issued.
Just as Chen Peng had expected, his father, Chen Xin, had finally replaced Guo Xun under his arrangements.
In the Prefecture Governor's mansion, Chen Xin and Chen Peng sat facing each other.
Although it had only been a few months, Chen Xin was very much in agreement with Chen Peng's growth.
"Yunqing, now that the appointment letter from the Imperial Court has been issued, what do you think we should do next?”Chen Xin looked at Chen Peng and asked.
Chen Peng sat in his seat and rubbed his chin, which had not grown any stubble, and pondered for a moment.
"Although the problem of the Yellow Glutinous Turban in Youzhou is not serious, we still have to take precautions. Father needs to train an elite army, an elite army that can be defeated at any time and anywhere.”
"Before the arrival of chaos, one must have military power in order to have the right to speak. Moreover, Youzhou is located at the border, and the foreign tribes are rampant. It is inevitable that there will be war in the future. Now that the imperial court has a convenient door, father should recruit soldiers and raise them!”
Chen Peng revealed his plan to his father bit by bit.
Chen Xin nodded and looked at his son sitting in front of him. Then, he slowly said,"Yun Qing, tell me the truth. Guo Xun's death…"
"Is it related to you?"
This question had been weighing on Chen Xin's mind for a long time.
Chen Xin had mentioned it once when Guo Xun died.
However, he had been too busy recently, so he had never had the chance to talk about it.
Coincidentally, he had received the appointment letter from the imperial court today, and the father and son had time to sit together.
"Father." Chen Peng had a calm expression on his face.""Guo Xun's death was an accident, and even if it wasn't for this accident, his death would have been the wish of all the people. Could it be that father didn't see the state Ji County was in because of him?”
Chen Xin sank. After a while, he looked at Chen Peng and said,"I know this, but this matter is too dangerous. If the Imperial Court understands what I mean!”
" Don't worry, Father." Chen Peng nodded." I know what's going on."”
As he spoke, Chen Peng stood up." Father, I'll have to trouble you with the matter of Youzhou. I still have to follow the orders of the Imperial Court to gather the army and go to Jizhou to meet with Lu Zhonglang.”
"Be careful."
"Yes!"
After saying that, Chen Peng walked out of his father's provincial governor's office.
The air that wasn't polluted 2,000 years ago was exceptionally fresh.
"Yunqing."
"Second brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were waiting for Chen Peng in front of the Provincial Governor's Office.
Chen Peng nodded." Let's go. We'll go out of the city and prepare our troops. Then, we'll prepare to go to Jizhou."”
Chen Peng looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a smile."This time, we brothers will go to Jizhou and make contributions. It is only a matter of time before we become marquises and ministers!”
"An doesn't care about the title of Marquis, as long as I can be with my two brothers, I'll be happy!”Zhang Fei shouted.
Guan Yu stroked his beard lightly." Third Brother is right. As long as we are free, we brothers are the same no matter where we are!"”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. They got on their horses and walked out of the city.
Before the three brothers could leave the city, they had just arrived at the streets of Ji County when they saw a group of people in the distance who seemed to be watching something interesting.
Curses came from the crowd.
"Despicable slave, if you dare to escape again, I will chop off your hands and feed them to the wolves!”
"Let's see if you still dare to run!"
"Pa ~ Pa!"
"If you keep running, I'll whip you to death!"
"Don't hit me, I beg you, don't hit me, don't hit my sister, hit me!”
Curses, whipping sounds, and pleas for mercy mixed together.
After entering, Chen Peng rode on his horse and saw clearly that it was a group of servants who were surrounding a pair of sisters and whipping them.
The two sisters hugged each other, their bodies covered in whip marks.
The older sister protected the younger sister under her with all her might. Her clothes were torn apart by the whip, and her fair skin was covered in whip marks.
Chen Peng frowned when he saw this scene.
