Huo County, on the city tower.
Lu Xuan is still visiting the injured soldiers one by one. This is very simple, that is, you take the trouble to comfort the soldiers, listen to their words, and then encourage them. It's not difficult, but it takes time and effort.
This is exactly what works best. In fact, even if this is the case, there are quite a few people who are not happy with it and would rather drink and play with women.
Lu Xuan has always believed that only when you give something, you will get something in return. Only with enough persistence and accumulation can we catch the greatest goodwill and opportunities. Without daily accumulation, it is impossible to get huge opportunities.
Otherwise, when a big wave comes, you will be submerged in the blink of an eye.
Although Lu Xuan could appease the soldiers and let Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci come, Lu Xuan still came in person.
This is a different result.
After Lu Xuan comforted the wounded soldiers, night had fallen. At this time, Lu Xuancai brought Zhou Yu and Tai Shici to the city and entered the military camp where prisoners were detained.
Today's conversation between Lu Xuan and Yuan Shu, Lu Xuan sent five hundred prisoners to the city to listen to the conversation between Lu Xuan and Yuan Shu.
Then, all the prisoners were taken away.
When the prisoners returned to the camp where they were detained, they would naturally hear about the conversation between Lu Xuan and Yuan Shu, and they would know that Yuan Shu sat back and watched Zhang Xun be killed, and that Yuan Shu killed people and shocked people.
This was Lu Xuan's deliberate move. He wanted to let these surrendered prisoners know about Yuan Shu's situation, so that it would be beneficial for him to reorganize them.
This is also the reason why Lu Xuan did not reorganize the prisoners after he captured Zhang Xun.
Lu Xuan came to the stage, and there were more than 5,600 prisoners under the stage. The vast majority of the prisoners were somewhat lethargic and in low spirits.
Lu Xuan looked coldly and said loudly: "Lujiang County and Jiujiang County both belong to Yangzhou. To use an analogy, they have a relationship like neighbors. Now because of Yuan Shu, they are attacking each other. You kill me and I kill you. This is not That’s what I want to see.”
"It's just that Yuan Shu insisted on invading Lujiang, and I had to resist. Therefore, it was decided to ambush Zhang Xun in Huo County, lure Zhang Xun into the city, and then capture you. If a war breaks out, the responsibility lies with Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun, so I didn’t intend to kill you.”
In one sentence, Lu Xuan set the tone.
This is the general outline of what Lu Xuan said.
As soon as he said his words, many prisoners started talking, and many of them breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
Killing prisoners is too common these days. A very real problem. If there is no food supply for the prisoners, they can only be killed. This is a one-and-done strategy. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he kept killing prisoners because of lack of food.
It's normal for Lu Xuan to want to kill someone.
Now that Lu Xuan said he would not kill anyone, all the captives were happy in their hearts.
"I have heard a lot about what Yuan Shu did in Jiujiang County. I heard that Yuan Shu was in Yangzhou, searching for beautiful women, constantly spending money to buy Feixian wine, and constantly raising taxes."
"You soldiers are exploited in the army, and your military pay is very low. At home, your family also has to pay countless exorbitant taxes and taxes because of farming. You face the loess and your back to the sky, but you can't even have three meals a day. preservation."
"Is Yuan Shu like this worthy of your allegiance?"
"I don't think it's worth it."
"But everyone has their own ideas. Some people are willing to accept Yuan Shu's exploitation and a difficult life in order to survive. This is because everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force it."
"However, I still want to say that Yuan Shu does not care about Zhang Xun's life or death. You all know this news. Zhang Xun has followed Yuan Shu for many years, fought in the north and south, and made great contributions. In order to attack Huoxian, Yuan Shu said that he did not care about Zhang Xun. , just ignore it and let Zhang Xun die."
"Is such a heartless person worthy of your allegiance?"
"I still think it's not worth it."
"If you follow me, you can live and work in peace and contentment in Lujiang County. In the future, when I capture Jiujiang County, you can return to your hometown in fine clothes and return to your hometown again."
"This is my promise."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed in the air, and he continued: "You were captured by me, and now I want to reorganize you. Those who are willing to submit to me, stay put and choose to stay. Those who are unwilling to submit, I will release you now, Let you go back."
"I, Lu Xuan, can't follow my words. As long as you want to leave voluntarily, I will not stop you. Even if all of you want to leave, I will never stop you. Let's start. Everyone who wants to leave, come forward."
boom! !
Among the prisoners, the chatter was even louder.
Countless people looked shocked. No one thought that Lu Xuan would reorganize in such a way.
This is a completely different approach.
Some soldiers started talking, looking at Lu Xuan with a look of expectation. Because Lu Xuan won consecutive battles and even raided Hefei, it was obviously not bad to follow Lu Xuan. However, there are also people who are nostalgic for their homeland and are unwilling to stay, but they look hesitant and worry that they will be targeted.
"I want to leave."
Among the crowd, someone bravely came out.
Lu Xuan nodded after seeing it, without expressing his position, watching quietly. Lu Xuan's acquiescence caused many prisoners to start to react, and many people who were unwilling to leave came forward one after another.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone stood completely still, and no one stood up again.
Lu Xuan took a look and smiled softly. According to the scale of the people who came out, at a rough glance, there were almost 2,000 people, and more than 3,000 people stayed behind.
This is already pretty good.
The number of people left reached Lu Xuan's expectations.
Lu Xuan flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Open the camp and let those who want to leave leave. I said I won't stop you, and I will never stop you. I, Lu Xuan, will spit and nail my words, and I will never leave them in vain. Letter, let him go!"
Taishi Ci gave the order, and the people who left left one after another, leaving more than 3,000 people who were willing to stay.
Lu Xuan looked at the remaining soldiers and said again: "All those who have surrendered to me will be reorganized into the black-armored soldiers under my command. Now, you are all just ordinary soldiers. With the expansion of the army, you will all be promoted. Opportunity."
"In addition, as long as I, Lu Xuan, are soldiers, their families will be taken care of. We will unite them in Shu County, arrange land cultivation for your family members, and buy fertile farmland for you. Your salary will not be deducted in the slightest. Follow me and you will be able to live. Live a good life."
"But everything I mentioned needs to be fought for by yourselves and fought for with your own hands."
The many soldiers who stayed behind all started talking.
Many people's eyes shined.
Following Lu Xuan, the family can have fertile land to cultivate, and military pay will not be deducted. This is the greatest kindness.
Zhou Yu saw it and praised Lu Xuan for his powerful methods. Just for the families of all the soldiers, buying fertile farmland in Shu County is the biggest means.
Although Lu Xuan paid a little bit of land, your family is all in Shu County. How can you not be loyal?
It will definitely be fatal!
Otherwise, how can your family gain a foothold in Shu County and have the dignity to cultivate the land allocated by Lu Xuan. But this kind of arrangement is what countless soldiers are flocking to and what countless people are looking forward to.
"Follow Governor Lu."
Zhou Yu shouted directly.
"Follow Prefect Lu!"
"Follow Prefect Lu!"
Countless soldiers also shouted loudly, and their voices echoed in the military camp in the city.
This sound also reached the ears of many Yuan Jun soldiers who were leaving. Many people stayed away from the school grounds, but when they heard the shouts from behind, they looked back, a little confused, as if wondering why the people who stayed suddenly shouted to follow Lu Xuan.
However, the soldiers' urging shouts came to their ears, and everyone left with a hint of regret.
It seems that staying is not a bad idea.
Unfortunately, the choice has already been made.
Lu Xuan watched the soldiers shouting. When the shouting ended, he handed over the reorganization matters to Tai Shici and took Zhou Yu to the tower.
At night, you have to be prepared for night attacks.
Just as Lu Xuan returned to the city tower, Zhou Tai came in a hurry and reported: "My lord, someone just came from outside the city. They said they were Xu Shao's personal entourage and asked to see you."
"Please."
Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Xu Shao had been working under Yuan Shu, seeking information for Lu Xuan. Now that the news about Xu Shao has come, it means that the opportunity to break the situation has come.
