Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 222 Target Shouchun, the first defender of the Three Kingdoms
The Xiapi Hao clan came and went quickly.

Although they have paid some painful materials, they are not without gains.

Yuan Tan made a straightforward promise that the rectification campaign carried out in Xuzhou City by Xuzhou will only be limited to Xuzhou.

Xiapi City is not within this range.

Of course, in return, the nobles of Xiapi also expressed very wittily that what they sent today was only the first batch of luggage.

It was used by General Yuan Tan to reward the three armies after he captured Xiapi.

Afterwards, they will prepare another batch of food and grass to be sent to Xiapi for General Yuan to calm the hearts of the people.

"Is this the noble family?"

Yuan Lang followed behind Yuan Tan, looking at the patriarch of the wealthy clan who bowed his knees in front of Yuan Tan, he was thoughtful.

Yuan Tan looked back at him and saw that Yuan Lang was deep in thought, so he turned and left without interrupting him.

Such things as the Hao family, in the period from the early to the middle period of the Three Kingdoms period, have not yet developed to the point of being so perverted later.

The wealthy families of this era can still be forced with a knife.

Just like Sima Yi, the tiger of the Sima family.

Although he pretended to be a celebrity.

But when Cao Cao directly sent someone to express his attitude that if you don't serve as an official again, you will be killed directly.

No matter how lofty and lofty he is, and no matter how much he wants to hide his strength and bide his time, wouldn't Sima Yi want to obediently become an official?

In the final analysis, it is a long process for a wealthy family to evolve towards a real powerful family, and there are too many variable factors in the middle.

Any change in any link may delay the formation of gate valves.

In this link, the most critical node is the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System created by Chen Qun.

However, in this life, there is Yuan Tan, a later generation.

This kind of pure compromise of interests in Jiupin Zhongzheng, and it can be described as a bad name for future generations, directly led to the system of five random and chaotic China.

There's absolutely no way he'll let it happen again.

However, these things are still too far away for him now.

After capturing Xiapi, Xuzhou was taken into his hands.

Yuan Tan walked into the prefect's mansion in Xiapi City, and Yuan Lang, who finally regained his senses, followed closely behind.

"What orders does the Major General have?"

Yuan Lang saw that Yuan Tan seemed to be thinking about something, and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Tan nodded and said:
"Go and ask the generals in Xiapi to see if they know the map of Cao Jun's defense."

Yuan Lang went down in response, and after a while, he brought a surrendered general up.

"Major General, he said he knew where the map was hidden, but he wanted to ask the Major General what to do with the surrendered soldiers."

"Disposal?"

Hearing Yuan Lang's words, Yuan Tan couldn't help but cast his eyes on the surrendered general.

The surrendered general didn't seem to have expected to meet Yuan Tan so smoothly.

He didn't even need to do a necessary body search, and was directly taken to the prefect's mansion by Yuan Lang.

How did he know that even if he was given a knife in his hand, with Yuan Tan's martial arts skills, he could be restrained easily with bare hands.

Seeing Yuan Tan asking him something, he was like waking up from a dream, and hastily bowed his hands and saluted:
"I met General Yuan Tan."

Yuan Tan waved his hand, signaling that he needn't be so nervous, and asked lightly:

"You said you know Cao Ying's defense map?"

The surrendered general hastily bowed and said:

"Exactly, I was the garrison of Xiapi City before. Later, after General Yu Jin came, he handed over the power to General Yu Jin, but the maps and other things were kept in my hands."

As the general spoke, he peeked at Yuan Tan:

"The humble general dare not hide from the general, and he doesn't want to use it to ask for anything. He just wants to ask General Yuan for the brothers in the army, what will we do with them?"

After hearing the general's words, Yuan Tan couldn't help but wonder:
"Didn't I tell you when you surrendered that if you are willing to continue serving in the army, you can transfer to Xiapi's city defense army on the spot. If you don't want to, there will be severance pay."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the surrendered general became even more anxious, but he seemed to feel that what he said was hard to say.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said with some embarrassment:
"I don't know, the general. I have some friendship with the Xuzhou army. I know that the general rebuilt the Xuzhou army and gave them a good treatment. So I want to ask the general..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Tan finally understood, and couldn't help laughing:

"You want to ask, can you join the Xuzhou Army?"

The surrendered general was embarrassed and nodded repeatedly, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.

After all, the identity of a surrendered soldier is inherently embarrassing, and he is a surrendered general, so he is born with some psychological pressure.

After all, these days, the world still pursues the quality of loyalty.

As a surrendered general, it's okay not to talk about keeping his own law and order, but he is also greedy for the treatment of the enemy before, and rushes forward to serve them.

It's embarrassing to think about this kind of thing.

However, this person's words gave Yuan Tan an idea.

Since ancient times, the handling of surrendered troops has been a big problem.

And Yuan Tan will definitely encounter many troops who surrendered in the next battle.

Especially as his prestige grew day by day, to say the least.

Yuan Tan has reached the point where Lu Bu used to be. When he goes out into battle, the enemy's morale will be reduced by [-]%, and his own morale will be increased by [-]%.

Perhaps, the high treatment of the Xuzhou Army can be used as an experimental point.

After the surrendered soldiers are collected in the future, they can directly give them a hope.

After one month of training in the training camp, the elite will be selected in proportion to enter the Xuzhou Army.

The rest will be sent to the captured city on the spot for use as defenders.

In this way, it can make up for the battle damage of the Xuzhou Army.

It can also calm the hearts of the surrendered soldiers, and at the same time give them a hope.

Compared with before, the operation of no matter what, it is much better.

Immediately, Yuan Tan smiled and nodded:
"Yes, yes, but you can't all join in. Since you are familiar with those Xuzhou Army soldiers, you should also know that they can't be regarded as the real Xuzhou Army right now, and you have to wait until you go back. Just go through one test."

The surrendered general did not expect Yuan Tan to agree so readily.

Seeing Yuan Tan nodding his head and giving an affirmative answer at this moment, he was already overjoyed.

Don't care about the assessment, he nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, the general, the general knows the severity, so I will go back and tell my brothers, let them train hard during this period, and the general will never be disappointed!"

As he spoke, the surrendered general took out the map from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Tan respectfully.

Then he withdrew from the prefect's mansion.

When the general left, Yuan Lang, who had wanted to talk for a long time, finally couldn't help it, and hurriedly said to Yuan Tan:
"Major General, the Xuzhou army already has a quota of [-]. If there is any more increase, I'm afraid Xuzhou will not be able to support it!"

Hearing Yuan Lang's words, Yuan Tan smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's nothing more than a problem with the number of people, just control it."

He already had a rough draft in his mind.

If you encounter a similar situation in the future, you can set a ratio based on the number of soldiers who surrendered.

The rabble with a large number of people will be counted as one out of ten or one out of twenty after passing the assessment.

The number of people is relatively small, but they dare to fight and fight hard, just like the current Xiapi defenders.

The sum is only in the early [-]s, so it is calculated as one out of five or even one out of three.

After all, in this era, the Xuzhou Army's treatment is the most attractive to the troops under the command of ordinary princes!
The general resigned respectfully, Yuan Tan put the map on the table, unfolded it, and glanced down, stopping at the bottom of Xuzhou.

There is where Shouchun is!

"Shouchun City..."

Yuan Tan groped for the beard that had grown, and said in a deep voice.

After Xuzhou was captured, the only territory that Cao Cao actually occupied was the Shouchun line in Runan.

Compared with Runan, Yuan Tan values ​​Shouchun more.

After all, having Shouchun in hand is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Cao Cao and Jiangdong.

The previous raid in Youzhou, although it was later proved that it was just a bluff by Yu Jin and others, and it was not Sun Ce who led the troops to attack.

But the panic inside Hebei at that time could not be faked.

Jiangdong Sun Ce's threat to Hebei is undoubtedly revealed from this point.

Although Sun Ce has not shown any signs of joining forces with Cao Cao so far.

But this does not mean that Hebei can really ignore Sun Ce's side.

You know, it hasn't been long since Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu joined forces to march into Yongzhou and threaten Hebei.

If it weren't for Yuan Tan's emergency rescue, the battle of Wuxiang would have defeated the coalition forces on both sides.

It is estimated that Yanzhou has already been taken back by Cao Cao.

Therefore, the capture of Shouchun cut off the possibility of the alliance between Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

At the very least, it will not happen. In the official history, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will join forces directly to fight against Cao Cao.

"However, I didn't expect Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren to be defending Shouchun City. It's a bit difficult."

Looking at the Shouchun City Defense on the map, Yuan Tan felt a headache for a while.

Don't be fooled by Romance of the Three Kingdoms, thinking that Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren are just a large set of tricks, the kind used to give Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang experience.

Compared with Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan's bravery, and Cao Ren's city defense ability.

In the process from the early to the mid-term of the Three Kingdoms, it is simply a top-level existence.

If it is divided by the level of martial arts.

Xia Houyuan's martial arts can be classified as first-rate or higher, while Cao Ren is first-rate or middle-rate.

But if you look at the city defense ability, Xia Houyuan can be classified as the first-class top, close to the super-first-class level.

And Cao Ren can directly rank among the top-ranking defensive generals!
The most classic battle, the Battle of Fancheng, is enough to prove its terrifying ability in city defense!
First, he was besieged by Guan Yu's soldiers, and the food in the city was almost cut off. It also allowed the soldiers to guarantee their basic combat effectiveness and morale.

After the follow-up reinforcements brought by the Jin Pound Coordination were flooded and wiped out.

It can also revive the morale of the army and continue to guard Fancheng until Sun Liu turns his face and succeeds.

Looking at the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, only Hao Zhao, the later defender of Chen Cangcheng, who caused Zhuge Liang a headache and sighed, can be compared with him!
