Chapter 49: Lay out the four counties of Nanzhong in advance

"What to do with the barbarian people and the families of the rebels?"

Liu Chan smiled softly and said: "Most of the people left behind are women and children, so take good care of them."

With the families of these rebels in their hands, how could Yong Kai and Meng Huo survive the storm?

Soldiers follow you to fight in order to make a living, fight on the battlefield, and lick blood from the edge of the knife. They also want to make a name for themselves, have a wife and son, and live a better life with their families.

Now that the whole family is in Liu Chan's hands, why bother?

Historically, Guan Yu gained Jiangling City due to a sneak attack by Soochow, which caused the tens of thousands of troops under his command to have no intention of fighting and fled in all directions. This was the outcome of Guan Gong's defeat in Maicheng.

If his prestige is as high as Guan Yunchang's, let alone Yong Kai and Meng Huo.

"There are still some barbarian people who fled into the mountains and forests when our army entered the city. Now all the important roads are blocked by us, but we want to search out these barbarian people?"

Liu Chan shook his head slightly and said: "Open the blockade of the road leading to Yongchang County, why waste time and energy on dealing with these barbarian people?"

Guan Yinping stood behind Liu Chan and immediately understood what Liu Chan meant.

"Young Master, what you want is to bring these panicked people to Yong Kai and Meng Huo's army to let them know that Yizhou County has been captured by Young Master?"

"good!"

Liu Chan glanced at Guan Yinping with admiration and said: "Releasing these barbarians will demoralize Yongkai's army. If we don't have to attack, his army will be defeated. Three days later, let Meng You go to Yongkai as an envoy." Meng Huo's army, I believe there will be results soon."

"Have you found the person you were asked to find?"

Liu Chan looked at Fei Yi.

"A person who came from a lowly background, or had a grudge against Meng Huo and Yong Kai, was actually found in the prison of Yizhou County."

Fei Yi told him the identity of this person.

"He was originally the son of the leader of a thousand-person tribe on the banks of Ruoshui, Yizhou County. However, because Yong Kai fell in love with her mother's beauty, his father disobeyed Yong Kai and refused to send his mother to the Heqing Walled City, so he was led by Yong Kai. The army defeated him and his father was killed. He was also imprisoned and was whipped and tortured day and night. His hatred for Yong Kai was deep in his bones."

"very good!"

Liu Chan nodded.

"These people who have deep hatred for Yong Kai are just for my use."

The four counties of Nanzhong have their own governance methods.

It is impossible for Liu Chan to stay in the four counties of Nanzhong all the time. He will always leave at some point, but after he leaves, how to ensure that the four counties of Nanzhong are not in chaos is something Liu Chan needs to consider.

Like Meng You, Liu Chan is destined not to use him.

Meng You ordered him to kill his brother, and Meng You hated him to the core, and now he was wagging his tail in front of him like a pig or a dog, just because Liu Chan was still in Nanzhong, holding a heavy army, and Meng You's life and death were in Liu Chan's hands.

As soon as Liu Chan leaves the four counties of Nanzhong, or as soon as Liu Chan shows signs of weakness, I am afraid that Meng You will become a poisonous snake in the arms of the farmers and bite him severely.

With such a hidden danger, why would Liu Chan stay?

An agent must support an obedient person who has no foundation and can only rely on Liu Chan.

After all, Meng You has the foundation and is not a good candidate.

Someone like the barbarian boy in prison is very suitable.

"Bring him here!" Liu Chan thought for a moment, and since he wanted to show mercy, he would do it more thoroughly.

"I will go to the prison myself and bring this man out!"

Liu Chan did what he said. He took Fei Yi and Dong Yun with him and headed towards the prison.

The cell environment in Yizhou County Prison is very harsh, and the atmosphere is dull and gloomy, giving people a depressing feeling.

The interior of the cell was small, dimly lit, with rough walls and a dark floor covered with reed mats. The entire cell was filled with the stench of mold, sweat and excrement.

There were piles of old straw and dead grass piled in the corner, covered with maggots and cockroaches.

There are no windows in the cell, only a narrow door, and the ventilation is extremely poor, making people feel dull and suffocating.

Iron chains, iron shackles, iron ropes and other instruments of torture were placed in the corner not far outside the cell, which was frightening to look at.

Although it suffered from turmoil, the situation in Yizhou County has been brought back under Liu Chan's control, and the prison will not be without order.

at this time.

In a cell deep in the Yizhou County Prison, the young barbarian Aduosi was ashen-faced. His hands and feet were shackled. Days of whipping and torture, as well as food shortages, had reduced him to skin and bones.

There seems to be some turmoil in Yizhou County. I heard that Yong Kai was driven away.

But none of this news aroused any interest in Adosi.

He is dying.

Although he is very young, he can feel the feeling of life flowing away every day.

Zhi acridine~

The iron lock rang, and the cell door was opened.

Are you going to be whipped again today?

It's okay, if you go to see the Barbarian God earlier, you won't have to suffer in this cell.

It's a pity that my mother is still being humiliated by the old thief Yong Kai day and night, and he has not yet had time to avenge his father's murder and his hatred of annihilating the clan!

He is unwilling!

"Athos!"

That familiar voice made the young barbarian tremble, but when he thought of his current situation, he quickly shook his head.

Are you about to die?

I have all misunderstood, mother, I can’t help you!

"My son!"

He felt like he was being picked up.

That touch and sound seemed to be right in front of me.

"Ados, open your eyes, don't die, open your eyes."

The young barbarian struggled to open his eyes, and in the haze, he saw his mother's face.

"Aniang? Am I dead?"

"You're not dead!"

The mother of Adosi held him in her arms, took the rice porridge from the attendant behind her, and fed it into the boy's mouth one bite at a time.

After finishing a bowl of rice porridge, Adosi felt much better.

"I'm really not dreaming. I'm not dead?"

"Of course you are not dead, my son, my poor Athos, my miserable Athos!"

The woman wiped away her tears and sobbed softly.

"What's going on?"

Ados looked past his mother and finally saw the person standing behind her mother.

He is a young man, even younger than him, wearing a brocade robe, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight body.

What a handsome young man! Adoos thought.

"Who are you?"

"My Athos, come and pay homage to your benefactor. It was he who saved my mother, and he who saved you."

Benefactor?

Aduos stood up with all his strength, bowed to Liu Chan, and said, "Aduos pays homage to my benefactor, who saved my mother and now saves my life. I don't know how to repay such kindness."

As the son of a tribal leader, he had learned Chinese and had a Han teacher who taught him how to read and write.

This is a barbarian boy who has been influenced by Han culture.

"You are weak, so you don't need to be polite."

Liu Chan stepped forward to support Aduosi and said, "Don't think too much, rest well and recover your body before talking."

Originally, after listening to Fei Yi's description, he thought Adosi was good and a suitable candidate.

Now that I see Adosi's speech and behavior, this barbarian boy who is so deeply influenced by Han culture is suitable to be Liu Chan's agent in the four counties of Nanzhong!
