Chapter 57: Caoyin

This was Cao Cao's strategy to kill General Wen Chou in the Battle of Guandu. This strategy is often used by today's officers, soldiers and bandits.

Whenever thieves encountered officers and soldiers, they would deliberately throw away all kinds of gold and silver property to induce the officers and soldiers to fight for them.

Then the bandits sent out elite soldiers and easily defeated the officers and soldiers. This method has been tried and tested time and time again.

Even if those guerrilla generals and generals knew the tactics of the bandits, they could not control the greed of their soldiers.

After all, these guerrillas and generals really rely on their servants, and most of the other officers and soldiers are basically a ragtag group of people who have neglected training.

These officers and soldiers have been deprived of pay all year round, and sometimes they may not even have enough to eat. In such a state, there is no condition for training to become an elite soldier.

The reason why they were able to hunt down the bandit soldiers and horses was mainly because the main force of the bandits were gathered together by refugees, making their combat effectiveness even worse.

A relatively bad soldier and horse will still have some advantages when meeting an even worse rogue.

However, when the bandits came up with this strategy, the officers and soldiers won less and lost more.

Feng Yuan now uses this method to deal with thousands of officers and soldiers, but it is just a matter of practice.

After a while, Feng Yuan saw a group of soldiers and horses escorting nearly a hundred carriages, walking slowly along the official road. There were also three hundred cavalry, guarding back and forth on both sides of the carriages.

"Coming!"

Behind the carriage, there were dozens of prison cars, in which were all the felons who were being escorted to the capital to await execution, including everyone from the "Shan Sect".

In the sight of everyone on the hillside, the bandits who were acting as bait immediately screamed in surprise when they saw the officers and soldiers, and hurriedly tried to speed up.

"Are there bandits?"

The commander-in-chief who was escorting the grains saw the scene in front of him. He frowned slightly and raised his right hand. Some of the officers and soldiers under his command divided up to guard the carriage, while the other part stepped forward and pressed towards the bandits at a leisurely pace.

At this moment, a carriage seemed to be running too fast and suddenly tipped over to one side. The boxes on the carriage burst open, revealing a large amount of gold, silver and silk.

"A lot of money!"

The officers and soldiers, who were originally in good order, saw a large amount of gold and silver rolling down in front of them. They couldn't bear their greed and rushed to rush first, grabbing the silver and stuffing it into their arms.

Seeing this, other officers and soldiers, fearing to be left behind, bent down to pick up the money. Thousands of officers and soldiers suddenly fell into chaos.

When the officers and soldiers behind saw this scene, they couldn't help but become commotion.

The commander-in-chief shouted to stop but had no effect.

kill!

After seeing this, Yuan Chengzhi, who was ambushing on both sides with Jiang Yingjie, couldn't bear it any longer. He immediately gave a sharp shout, held a long sword, used Qing Kung, and killed in the direction of the prison car.

On the hillside.

Feng Yuan, Zhao Heng and others saw their soldiers suddenly rushing out from both sides, like hot knives cutting butter, instantly cutting off the officers and soldiers on the official road...

"We won this time!"

Zhao Heng was shocked when he saw this, and his face showed joy.

Wen Qingqing on the side focused most of his attention on Yuan Chengzhi after he took action. When he saw Yuan Chengzhi raising his sword and opening all the prison cars, he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.

With calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, coupled with the bonus of ambush and surprise attacks, even if the number of officers and soldiers were several times greater, there was no chance of reversal.

"Let's go down!"

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Feng Yuan led everyone down the hillside and walked towards the official road which was still in chaos.

By the time they reached the place, Yuan Chengzhi had already taken action and captured the leader of the group of officers and soldiers.

Without the command of the general, thousands of officers and soldiers were even more vulnerable. Some of them were quickly captured by Jiang Yingjie's men, but some still resisted stubbornly.

This small group of officers and soldiers were surrounded by Zhao Heng and his group of bandits, and it was very difficult to break out of the encirclement.

"Sir, he is Shui Jian, the commander-in-chief who escorted Caoyin this time!"

With a happy face, Jiang Yingjie escorted the commander-in-chief who was captured by Yuan Chengzhi.

"Commander Shui, please give the order now and tell your officers and soldiers to put down their weapons, and I will spare your life!"

You can't be too polite to Shuijian, the commander-in-chief of the army.

These old veterans are all guys who don't know how much they weigh even if they give them a little face.

Feng Yuan looked at Huang Shouzheng differently at first because he had not yet risen, and the other party came with hundreds of troops to defect to him.

Moreover, Huang Shouzheng's ability is not weak and deserves attention.

As for Shui Jian, the commander-in-chief of the army, he was capable, but not much higher. In the original timeline, after being captured by Yuan Chengzhi, he surrendered after a few threats.

Therefore, after Shui Jian was brought over, Feng Yuan directly forced him to surrender. As long as the other party was willing to surrender, if not, he would not persuade him.

"If you want to kill, just kill, why bother to say more!"

Being treated like this, Shui Jian's complexion turned green and white, and there was a surge of shame and anger in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Then kill him!"

Feng Yuan stopped talking and waved his hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingjie pulled out the saber from his waist. The sword flashed, and before Shui Jian could react, a stream of blood spattered. Shui Jian covered his throat, with a look of surprise and unwillingness on his face, and fell to the ground.

When he was dying, Shui Jian felt regret in his heart.

If he had known that the other party would only persuade him to surrender once, he would have surrendered directly...

"Lord Commander-in-Chief..."

The other captured officers and soldiers trembled when they saw the commander-in-chief being killed. They no longer had the will to resist.

At this time, Zhao Heng relied on his skills in the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt, holding a long knife, and forced his way into the group of officers and soldiers who had not yet surrendered. He roared angrily. Every time he swung his sword, one officer and soldier fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all resistance was crushed.

Click!

Feng Yuan casually picked up a knife, walked to the carriage escorting Cao Yin, and swung the knife to cut open one of the boxes, revealing the neatly arranged Cao Yin.

"Two million three hundred thousand taels of silver, this amount alone is enough to support the consumption of a hundred thousand troops for a year!"

No matter what time, no one will think that he has too much money, and the same is true for Feng Yuan.

"Master Zhu, if you hadn't helped me this time, Uncle Sun and the others would have been in danger!"

After rescuing Shan Zong's group, Yuan Chengzhi talked to them for a while, and then led them over to thank Feng Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, you're welcome, we can each take what we need!"

Feng Yuan smiled slightly. He glanced at the people behind Yuan Chengzhi. These people were all Yuan Chonghuan's old troops when he was in Liaodong.

I have also held official positions such as guerrilla and Qianhu before.

They have been hunted continuously for more than ten years, and they have been running around in embarrassment. Their hearts have long been filled with hatred for the Ming Dynasty, and they also have no good feelings toward the young prince Feng Yuan.

"Anyway, I owe Mr. Zhu a favor. If he encounters any trouble in the future, I will be there with just a letter!"
