Liu Chan won the victory, and Wang Ping made another military exploit.
As a reward, Liu Chan officially appointed Wang Ping as Zhonglang General in the army, and only waited for them to leave here before reporting to Chengdu!
Of course, in order to be able to deal with the encirclement and suppression in Jiangdong and the chaos in Jiaozhou, Liu Chan directly ordered Wang Ping to recruit troops on his own.
He will do his best to support you!
With Liu Chan's guarantee, Wang Ping stopped being polite and immediately bowed down to accept the order!
Afterwards, Wang Ping went to the place where the prisoner was with the envious eyes of the generals.
Since you want to recruit soldiers and horses, the easiest thing is to choose from the ready-made soldiers and horses.
But what surprised everyone was that Wang Ping's selection of soldiers was very strict.
Among the hundreds of surrendered soldiers, he finally picked out only fifteen people.
This number surprised everyone.
Only Liu Chan said nothing about this, and was ready to let people abandon the city and continue deep into Jiaozhou.
But just when they were about to leave again, Ma Su stood up directly.
"Your Highness, please go slowly!" At this time, Ma Su no longer had the pride he had before.
He watched Wang Ping reach his present position step by step, and watched as Ma Zhong and Deng Zhi gradually gained importance from His Highness.
Only I am still making no progress!
The most important thing is that Ma Su might have thought that His Highness had listened to some rumors and therefore distrusted him.
But he had messed up in the previous last-ditch battle, which completely made him lose his faith.
At this moment, Ma Su felt a little painful.
He felt that it wasn't that Liu Chan didn't give him enough opportunities, but that he didn't grasp it at all!
Now I see Wang Ping becoming more and more favored in front of Liu Chan.
It is absolutely impossible for Ma Su to say that there is no jealousy in his heart.
So Ma Su decided to prove himself!
At least tell Liu Chan that the last stand before... was an accident!
It's definitely not that he is inferior to that old man Jia Xu!
Absolutely not!
"Your Highness!" Ma Di seized the opportunity and came to Liu Chan.
At this time, he will no longer mention that he will be the leader along the way.
Instead, he saluted Liu Chan and spoke directly.
"Although we have entered Jiaozhou now, we are not equipped with enough soldiers and horses to follow up.
Even if the city is conquered and the county is occupied, it will be unable to defend it.
But if I were asked to leave here so easily... His Highness would not be willing to come!
So the general just thought of a simple way..."
"Just tell me what you have to say, don't waste my time waiting."
Liu Chan couldn't help but glare at him at this time.
This Ma Su's arrogance has almost been solved.
But why does this guy have another problem with bluffing?
I don’t know who this guy learned this from!
Under Liu Chan's urging, Ma Di couldn't help but show a little embarrassment on his face.
But Ma Su is Ma Su after all, and he still has a thick skin.
"Your Highness, since we can't defend the city, why not just leave some trouble for Sun Quan?
Just like this Lipu City, we will definitely not be able to defend it.
But if we spread rumors in Lipu City, Sun Quan's Jiangdong troops will also plunder the place!
This kind of rumor, coupled with Lu Dai's harsh and murderous character, makes it difficult for these people not to believe it!
At this time, I will take some of the grain and fodder to use as military supplies.
Everything that cannot be taken away will be given to the heads of Guizhou in this city...
In this way, even if Sun Quan's pursuers arrive, it will be of no use.
Let’s not talk about whether they can really catch up with us and capture us!
Just the trouble in Lipu County is enough to give them a headache.
In the end, for the sake of the overall situation, they not only need to appease the people, but also need to leave some troops to garrison here..."
"Well..." Liu Chan looked thoughtful after listening to Ma Su's words, and then looked at the others.
"General Yan is a highly respected veteran in Yizhou and the backbone of Gu's side.
My father had said at the beginning that among the generals in Yizhou, General Yan was the leader.
What happened to General Yan today? "
Liu Chan couldn't tell whether this strategy was a good one or a bad one.
But Liu Chan knew that they were not the only ones discussing with each other now.
In terms of rich experience, Yan Yanna is definitely second to none!
After hearing Liu Chan's question, Yan Yan immediately nodded slightly towards Ma Su.
"The strategy Ma joined the army just now is really quite good.
But there seems to be some small problems in this strategy. "
"Old General, please speak!"
“Without him, there’s not enough time!
Although Sun Quan came in a hurry to pursue him, his pursuit speed could not keep up with ours.
But after all, they are fighting locally, and we are the ones who go deep in alone!
I understand what you are thinking, but you have to know that we will also have to face endless enemy armies and cities along the way!
Even if I wait fast enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to distance myself from Jiang Dong.
Now you have to encourage the people and distribute their food and crops. At this time...hehehe..."
Yan Yan was indeed a veteran, and he got the problem right in one sentence.
After Yan Yan finished speaking, Liu Chan couldn't help but nodded, as if he recognized the truth.
But since Ma Su chose to stand up at this time, he naturally had a complete solution!
"Don't worry, old general. In fact, we can take advantage of the situation and it won't take much time!
In fact, I only need to do one thing before leaving.
That is to gather some of the people in the city.
Then let them nominate highly respected people on their own.
Deliver him the provisions and tell him the words.
Let him distribute the food and grass and organize the people to escape from the city quickly.
I don’t need to think too much about the rest.
As for whether the strategy is successful, it is better to do it than not to do it.
As long as we continue to fight, His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation for benevolence will be spread throughout Jiaozhou.
And that Jiangdong... hum! "
Looking at Ma Su who was talking eloquently, Liu Chan listened to what he just said.
He couldn't help but nodded directly.
"What you said makes sense!"
"Thank you so much for the compliment, Your Highness..."
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, then what if there are already soldiers and horses in Lipu City?
Since we want His Highness to have a reputation of benevolence, then we cannot kill prisoners! "
"Well... General Yan is right..."
"Old General, you are worrying too much. This matter is simple, just take them all away!
Just let them help us transport the food and grass. If we fall behind, we will take the food and grass away and let them leave.
If you persist, you can join our army!
The Jiangdong soldiers and horses are behind us. They help us carry food and grass, but they will definitely not dare to easily turn back to the Jiangdong army!
So... they will definitely try their best.
I just need to keep an eye on them.
Why do you need to do such evil things as killing prisoners? "
"Oh~ You Chang is really talented!"
