Chapter four hundred and ninth school field division
Nanchang City, above the school grounds.
A total of 27,000 surrendered soldiers were escorted here, surrounded by soldiers from the Tao, Sun, and Lu families who were on guard, standing with swords and swords, attacking and setting up crossbows, showing a very nervous look.
The more than 20,000 people were in this state, being stared at closely by the three leaders. They were all shaking their bodies, and they began to feel nervous inexplicably.
Looking at this posture, are you going to kill us all?
It’s no wonder that these soldiers had this idea in mind. There are many such examples from ancient times to the present.
Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in a trap, and Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin soldiers in a trap. Such things are very popular and are often mentioned as talking points by ordinary people.
Those high and mighty people have killed hundreds of thousands of people, so why do they still care about their more than 20,000 people?
"Dong dong dong dong!"
After the sound of the three-tone drum stopped, Lu Bu was seen standing up on the high platform. He stood up carelessly. He raised his hand to signal that no sound was allowed in the venue.
The soldiers also understood the general's sign language. At this moment, they were threatened by a large number of soldiers and crossbows. They really did not dare to speak out.
Lu Bu glanced around at the dark crowd in the audience, and suddenly shouted loudly: "This general is General Fenwei of the Han Dynasty, Marquis of Wen Lu Bu, and he is sending troops to protect the Han Dynasty and fight against rebellion! Yuan Shu is not willing to surrender.
Trouble in the south, go against the grain, anger people, you are all rebellious vassals! If you surrender quickly and obey me, you can still save your life, otherwise... hmph!"
Lu Bu's reputation is known to the whole world, and most of the Huainan soldiers naturally recognize him. It is said that his bravery is comparable to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
After listening to Lu Bu's shouting, these Huainan soldiers were trembling with fear, fearing that Lu Bu would be like Xiang Yu and kill them all if he was unhappy.
Sun Ce turned around and looked at Zhou Yu.
But he saw Zhou Yu smiling encouragingly at him.
Sun Ce cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said: "Brothers from Huainan, many of you must know Sun Lang! Yes, Sun was following his father's orders to join Yuan Jiujiu's tent.
General, I had placed my hope on him to secure the country, support the country, and help the Han Dynasty and Liu Dynasty, but how could he impose tyranny and kill Zhongliang wantonly? This is really an act that cannot be tolerated in heaven and earth! Therefore, I, Taifu Tao, and Lu Fenwei, in accordance with His Majesty's orders, sent out troops together.
Conquer Yuan Shu to establish peace! Although Yuan Shu is dead now, the land of Huainan is still in the hands of his minions. Sun intends to fight back to Huainan, pacify the remaining tribes of Yuan's thieves, and restore peace to the two rivers! My sons, are you willing to follow?
Sun goes to save his hometown?"
After saying this, the crowd below suddenly became excited.
These soldiers all followed Yuan Shu from Huainan to Yuzhang County. They thought that after the failure, they would never have the chance to return to their hometown and see their parents, wives and children. Who would have thought that things would turn around now?
According to Sun Lang, do you want to take them back to Huainan?
In an instant, shouts in agreement with Sun Ce began to be heard sparsely from below.
"I would like to go home with Mr. Sun!"
"I would like to go home with Mr. Sun!"
Sun Ce felt comfortable all over and had a real smile on his face.
It is indeed right to follow Gong Jin's arrangement! Every one of these Huainan soldiers miss their hometown and their relatives. As long as I use this point to say it, I will definitely get the support of a large number of soldiers from Huainan.
It was useless for the pottery merchant to reiterate this point at this time. After all, Sun Ce had lived in Shouchun for a long time, and his credibility was far stronger than that of an illusory Prince Taiping who was far away in Jinling.
Sun Ce felt very proud when he heard the cheers and shouts below. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows at the pottery merchant as if to demonstrate.
There are times when I am stronger than you.
The pottery merchant was amused by Sun Ce's expression.
He coughed lightly, walked up to Sun Ce, and began his speech.
But I saw him stretching out a finger and pointing to the sky.
"Whoever surrenders to me! A handful of grain!"
The cheers and shouts that had just been heard suddenly stopped. The scene was as quiet as a cemetery, and only the faint breathing of the people in the field could be heard.
The pottery merchant seemed not to notice, and continued slowly: "Whoever follows me back to Jinling, I will definitely give you rice seeds and Jiangdong plows."
There was still a complete silence.
"Anyone with a whole family from Huainan who comes to Jinling will be given rations per person, oxen, plows, and fields... This condition is not limited to you, but is for all the people in Huainan. As long as you come alone, you will be given!"
There began to be a faint commotion in the venue.
"Even if you are unwilling to submit to me now, just give me a piece of grain as a gift. When you return home, just take my words to your fellow villagers."
Some of the soldiers' faces have begun to flush, and their big eyes have begun to emit a strange light.
"There are only 10,000 places to submit, first come, first served!"
Suddenly, a roar that was enough to shatter the sky erupted from the field.
"I would like to surrender to Taifu!"
"We are willing to submit to Taifu!"
"Swear loyalty to the Grand Master to the death!"
"We want to be Jinling people!"
Tao Shang smiled and looked at the soldiers who cheered so loudly that the whole school ground was almost shattered, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He stretched out his finger and gently drew a large circle around the roaring head below. Then he smiled at Chen Deng and said, "Enjoy the meal!"
Chen Deng laughed, turned to the soldiers of the Jinling Army and shouted loudly: "The Master has an order! Register! Distribute food!"
After shouting for a while, the surrendered soldiers rushed towards the registration office where the Jinling Army was located, like evil wolves eating their food.
The Jinling Army dispatched almost tens of thousands of people to maintain order at the scene and ordered the soldiers to line up. During this period, there was a constant flow of quarrels and insults.
The expressions of Sun Ce and Lu Bu were particularly exciting at this moment, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and all kinds of colors.
The potter bowed his hands to the two of them and left first.
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hate without reason.
Threats, intimidation, pie-in-the-sky... are far from having something tangible to take advantage of.
Zhao Yun followed closely behind the pottery merchant and asked him in a low voice: "Brother-in-law..."
"What's the matter, second brother?"
Zhao Yun turned around and looked at the bustling school grounds, wondering: "With your ability, it is not a problem to collect all the more than 20,000 Huainan soldiers, but why are you only setting a quota of 10,000 people? This move
But what’s the deep meaning?”
The pottery merchant laughed: "The moon is full when it is waxing. Don't go too far in some things, so as not to offend Lu Bu and Sun Ce. It's enough to accept ten thousand people... Another thing, as I just said, Huainan soldiers and civilians, no matter who
When I go to Jinling City, I will give them fields and cattle for farming. This is not a lie. If I take away more than 20,000 people, who will go to Huainan to spread these remarks on Tao's behalf?"
Zhao Yun's head was sweating after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, the third brother didn't take the 27,000 people seriously at all. He was focusing on the population of Huainan!
But the facts are there now. Because Jinling City is vigorously developing various keel waterwheels and Jiangdong plows, coupled with the success of grafted rice, a large amount of land in the southeastern Wudi has been reclaimed, and there is a trend of increasing it.
, if a large number of people are not absorbed, who should be sowing these newly developed fields?
The land of Soochow, under the development of pottery merchants, has become close to the richest place.
