Chapter Eight hundred and sixty-eight Xun You devised twelve tricks, and another trick!
"As for the ten thousand surrendered soldiers from Qingzhou, they have other uses. They are sent to be escorted back to Jinling for...labor reform. They may be used by the Lord..."
This labor reform was also a fantastic idea proposed by Liu Hao.
With General Cao Zhengchun as the governor, he adopted extremely militarized and strict management and brainwashed these demoted soldiers for a second time.
After being demoted through labor reform, their loyalty to Liu Hao will be significantly improved, and they will become more fearless and fearless of death.
"Here!"
Jin Yiwei clasped his hands into fists, said yes, rolled up his cloak, and walked away quickly.
Zhou Yu's heart moved slightly, and he continued: "Zilong, I heard that you broke out and won a great victory, and also captured Yuan Shaojun's generals Chunyu Qiong and Gao Lan alive?"
"Captain, this Chunyu Qiong was captured alive by General Cheng Yaojin..."
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "As for Gao Lan, his marksmanship is pretty good..."
In today's world, only Zhao Yun can evaluate Yuan Shaojun's Hebei Four Courtyard Pillars like this!
"Let's go and have a look!"
As soon as Zhou Yu waved his sleeves, all the generals followed. There were already soldiers leading the way.
Not long after, they arrived at the place where Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong were imprisoned.
Liu Haojun's treatment of general surrendered generals was not too harsh, and Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong both had enough food and drinks.
Chunyu Qiong was already frightened. Hearing the footsteps of Zhou Yu's group, Chunyu Qiong immediately fell to the ground and knelt down, saying: "I surrender, don't kill me... I want to see Duke Chu!"
"You? Want to see Mr. Chu?!"
Zhou Yu seemed to have heard a huge joke and said: "What kind of talent do you have, and what do you think you are? You are also talking wildly about wanting to see my lord!?"
Chunyu Qiong said flatteringly: "I am a sworn brother at the beginning. The governor must not kill me. Benchu values love and righteousness. He will definitely spend a lot of money and food to redeem me..."
sweat!
Gao Lan's mouth twitched slightly...
This feeling is so embarrassing!
You know, Chunyu Qiong's status in Yuan Shao's army in Hebei was not low.
More importantly, he is Yuan Shao's beloved brother!
He can be called Yuan Shao’s confidant general!
"Turns out he is a bragging coward. If he had known, I would have killed him with an axe!"
Cheng Yaojin curled his lips.
He thought he had captured a great general, but when he saw that he was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he was immediately disappointed.
"Kill and kill..."
Zhou Yu was determined to kill him when he suddenly saw Xun You winking at him. He immediately understood and stretched out his hand to stop the murderous Jin Yiwei, saying: "Press down first..."
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Benchu will avenge me!"
Chunyu Qiong was so scared that she huddled in the corner and screamed like a pig being killed.
Everyone was speechless.
This Chunyu Qiong was, after all, a general who participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass. He was so bad. It can be seen that Yuan Shao of Hebei Province was known as a cloud of fierce generals, but in fact he was a mixed bag of good and bad.
"I have heard about the bravery of General Gao Lan from the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei Province for a long time. You are so tired that you are frightened!"
When facing Gao Lan, Zhou Yu immediately changed into a gentle and gentle posture.
Gao Lan was flattered.
"How can a defeated general be brave enough... Let's not mention the Four Court Pillars of Hebei!"
They were all like meat on the chopping board, and being praised like this by the enemy made Gao Lan blush a little and felt very embarrassed.
Being knocked down by Zhao Yun with one shot really disgraced the Hebei general!
Of course, there was a reason why Gao Lan was shaken and caught off guard, but the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you lose, you lose!
"We were defeated at the hands of General Zilong, who has the best marksmanship in the world. General Gao's defeat is not an injustice!"
Zhou Yu smiled and untied the rope from Gao Lan's body, and said: "Before the expedition, my lord made it clear that the generals of Hebei, such as Zhang He and Gao Lan, are both good generals of Hebei. They must not be killed. They must do it for me." Used!"
When Gao Lan heard this, his body shook violently!
The overlord Liu Hao, who was thousands of miles away, actually cared about him as a general!
This is a supreme honor!
Seeing that his expression was strange, Zhou Yu persuaded him while the iron was hot: "Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Zhao, seems to be powerful, but in fact he is tolerant to others and not good at employing people. It would be better if General Gao wins. Today, the first battle is defeated. Even if Yuan Shao does not If you kill General Gao, you will definitely have grudges in the future, so you can no longer use General Gao!"
Gao Lan has been following Yuan Shao for so long, how could he not know Yuan Shao's personality?
It is indeed as Zhou Yu said.
"General Gao is such a talented general. Why is he not a rare general? He is brave and good at fighting. Wouldn't it be great if he could help Duke Chu to sweep away the world with his three-foot sword, put an end to the troubled times, and establish some great achievements!"
"The crime will be exposed, I am willing to surrender!"
Zhou Yu moved with reason and Xiao with emotion, so sincerely, and persuaded again and again. Looking at the four pillars of the Hebei courtyard, he knelt down loudly, clasped his fists with his hands, and said boldly.
"Okay! With General Gao here, it will be easy to defeat Qingzhou!"
Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, but secretly admired Liu Hao in his heart:
"My lord is sitting in Jinling far away, strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. As expected, Gao Lan surrendered!"
Liu Hao had told him before he came that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were Yuan Shao's best friends and they were 100% loyal.
If they cannot be recruited, of course they must be removed immediately.
This Zhang He and Gao Lan were originally Han Fu's men, and they surrendered after their power was annexed by Yuan Shao.
After a series of defeats in the original Three Kingdoms, he was afraid of being held accountable by Yuan Shao, so he decided to join Cao Cao. This shows that his loyalty was not very high.
After subduing Gao Lan, Zhou Yu ordered people to take Gao Lan out to change his clothes, take a bath, and hold a banquet for him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to prepare, Zhou Yu and Xun You gathered in the inner hall.
Zhou Yu asked: "Gongda, I just wanted to kill Chunyu Qiong, and you stopped me. What's the point of doing this?"
"Gong Jin, Chunyu Qiong is no more than a small person, what's the point of killing him?"
Xun You smiled calmly and said: "I have a plan, and it will be on this person to secure Qingzhou..." ..
