Chapter 203 The third pair of greedy eyes
"What do you want to do with that person, Master?" Lu Su quickly caught up with Liu Feng and asked.
"Just now I was thinking about how to subdue this guy for my use. After all, he is Xu Qian, and he has some prestige in the army. But now I am thinking about killing him to vent the resentment of the people."
Liu Feng said calmly.[
When Liu Feng took charge of Chaohu, he did two things. The first was to be kind to Zheng Bao's family and win the morale of the army. The second was to open warehouses and release grain to win over the people.
Zheng Bao wanted to kill him, but he had to treat Zheng Bao's family well. This was out of overall considerations, because Liu Feng only had 80 elite soldiers at that time.
But what about now? The situation is completely different. If you can use it to calm the morale of the army, use it. If you can't use it, forget it. Just break the old army organization and select strong and young officers.
In addition, Xu Qian and Zhang Duo are the same as Zheng Bao. They are the type who will not anger the people if they are not killed. Killing Xu Qian and then opening a warehouse to release grain can win over the people of Shu County.
If this is the case, then we should not offend that self-respecting guy and kill him to show the anger of the common people.
After making the decision, Liu Feng got on the carriage and ordered the team to escort the prisoners toward Shu County. Soon after, they arrived at Shu County.
Not long ago, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan went on an expedition and completely mobilized the troops in the city. Therefore, after Zhao Yun arrived, the people in the city quickly left the city and surrendered without even resisting.
Zhao Yun quickly took over the city and set up defenses. When Liu Feng arrived, Zhao Yun led everyone to greet him outside the city, and then greeted Liu Feng and Lu Su into the prefect's mansion.
In the hall of the prefect's mansion, Lu Su ordered everyone to retreat, leaving Dong Xi to guard outside. Liu Feng sat at the top, followed by Lu Su and Zhao Yun on both sides.
"Zilong arrived first, but after investigating clearly, there are many people. How many people and soldiers are under Xu Qian's tent?" Liu Feng asked after sitting down.
"Reporting to your highness, these two men have about 20,000 people and 6,000 soldiers. In terms of food, they are almost the same as Zheng Bao. They can barely make ends meet. As for gold and silver, there is quite a lot." Zhao Yun replied. He was one step ahead. , he has thoroughly investigated these.
"Food is really a top priority." Liu Feng sighed and said.
These petty princes, bandits and the like all only know how to collect gold, but they don't know how to accumulate more food and people's hearts. As a result, they will end up like this.
"Open a warehouse to put food in, and then behead Xu Gan in public to vent the people's anger. Select two thousand elite soldiers and combine them into five thousand elite soldiers. After twenty days, we will continue to march west."
I sighed, but I still have to live this day, Liu Feng paused and said.
"promise."
Zhao Yun and Lu Su agreed and immediately went down to do things.
Although the problem of food has become a top priority, the harvest from these two conquests is really exciting. With a total of 5,000 elite soldiers, the army can reach about 50,000.
It's quite huge.[
After the two left, Liu Feng sat alone on the throne, his eyes full of excitement.
After Lu Su and Zhao Yun accepted Liu Feng's order, they immediately dispatched troops to knock on doors door to door.
Like Chaohu City, the people of Shucheng have also lived under the servitude of Zhang Duo and Xu Qian for a long time, lifeless. However, the fear of the army prevented them from delaying. Except for children, the old and the strong were all Concentrated in the downtown area of the city.
