The wind whistled, blowing the flag of the Great Han Army.
The cold word 'kill' made all the soldiers of the Central Mausoleum tremble.
He was extremely excited.
This was the kind of lord they wanted!
As for the Yellow Turban captives kneeling on the ground, they were terrified and terrified.
They didn't want to die!
If they had known that there was such a demon god in Ling County, they wouldn't have dared to come even if they had a few hundred guts!
Jiang Feng looked at them coldly.
He spoke ferociously.
"My lord, how should we deal with these guys?”
"Should we kill them all?"
The three hundred soldiers of the Central Mausoleum drew their sabers in unison.
As long as Cheng Chong gave the order, they would definitely attack without hesitation.
On the city wall, Guo Jia also looked curiously at Cheng Chong.
He also wanted to know what choice Cheng Chong would make.
This would affect his next decision!
The three thousand Yellow Turban captives were frightened and did not dare to raise their heads.
They were waiting for Cheng Chong's judgment.
Cheng Chong narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across the faces of these Yellow Turban captives.
"I know that many of you wouldn't have joined the Yellow Turban Army to rise up if you weren't so desperate to live.”
"From this point of view, the Great Han Dynasty has let you down!”
"So, today, I'm giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Hearing this, many Yellow Turban captives raised their heads in surprise.
Guo Jia, who was on the city wall, narrowed his eyes and stared at Cheng Chong.
Cheng Chong continued to speak unhurriedly.
"I can give you three options."
"If you want to settle down, you can get a piece of land and a job in Zhongling County.”
"If you still have the courage, you can join my private army and fight for the country. In the future, you might even be able to win the honor of having a wife and children.”
"Of course, if you still want to continue being a Yellow Turban, that's fine too. I will let you go. But the next time we meet, I won't show mercy.”
" Now, let's start choosing. Those who are willing to work as farmers, go to the left. Those who are willing to join the army, go to the right. Those who want to leave, just turn around and leave.”
The Yellow Turban captives looked at each other with wide eyes.
He could hardly believe his ears.
Did he hear wrongly?
They were pardoned?
Jiang Feng said sternly with a cold face.
"Are you all deaf?"
"Can't you hear the Lord's grace?”
"Or are you saying that you don't choose any of the three paths and just want to die?”
Only then did the Yellow Turban captives react, their eyes filled with ecstasy.
They stood up and scattered.
They split into two teams.
Those who wanted to farm and those who wanted to join the army were about half and half.
No one wanted to leave and continue to be a member of the Yellow Turban Army.
What a joke. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't survive, who would do such a job with their heads hanging on their waists?
Now that they were lucky, Cheng Chong had given them a way out. If they didn't catch him quickly, they would be fools!
Plop.
A Yellow Turban prisoner knelt down, his eyes full of gratitude.
It was like a spark that had ignited a barrel of gunpowder.
The other Yellow Turban captives also knelt on the ground.
Boom!
They all kowtowed to Cheng Chong!
In their eyes, Cheng Chong was like their second parent!
"This commoner thanks Duke Cheng!"
Guo Jia looked from afar and nodded lightly. His eyes were filled with approval.
"I didn't see wrongly. Cheng Cheng's stroke didn't return. He's a great talent!”
He admired Cheng Chong's way of handling the situation.
In his eyes, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were fatuous and the Great Han Dynasty was about to die.
The world was already in chaos.
In this chaotic world, what was the most important thing to start a business?
The population!
With a large population, there would be more agricultural output, higher taxes, and more soldiers!
This was an eternal foundation!
And it just so happened that these three thousand Yellow Turban captives were all young adults. They were the best labor force and precious wealth.
Anyone with foresight would not let it go.
If they were all killed, it would be a huge waste.
They would also be labeled as brutal and bloodthirsty for no reason, which would cause a lot of harm and no benefit.
"Let's go back to the inn and tidy up. I'm going to pay a visit tonight!”
Guo Jia said softly. With a satisfied smile on his face, he left with his errand boy.
This time, Guo Jia had left Yingchuan Academy to go north. Not only was he going on a study tour to broaden his horizons, but he was also looking for a wise ruler to assist him!
Ding Yuan, governor of Bingzhou, Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, and Liu Yu, governor of Youzhou, are all mediocre talents.
Only Cheng Chong attracted his attention.
Cheng Chong and Guo Jia were making their choices regarding the Yellow Turban captives!
If Cheng Chong chose to kill, Guo Jia would immediately turn around and leave.
This kind of person who had no political mind and no strategic vision was not worthy of his nostalgia.
Fortunately, Cheng Chong did not disappoint him!
Even though Cheng Chong was still a nobody.
However, Guo Jia believed that with Cheng Chong's talent and vision, it wouldn't be long before he soared to the sky and shocked the entire Great Han Dynasty!
