I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 408: Xianbei vomits blood, Su Junhou becomes famous in Youzhou
As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, Liu Bei was also surprised:

"What brilliant plan does Yide have? Tell us quickly."

Zhang Fei scratched his head:

"What a good or bad strategy."

“But I do have an idea.”

“Actually, it’s very simple.”

"Just ask those Xianbei people to help."

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands and said:
"Those Xianbei people have taken advantage of us Han people for so many years. Now that they have surrendered, we should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Su Yao couldn't help but laugh:
"Come to think of it, you were the one who captured the Bald Head Tribe."

"Yes."

Zhang Fei chuckled:
"I, Zhang, arrested six or seven thousand people in one go."

"Not only people, but their entire tribe, I brought them back."

"There is no shortage of livestock, sheep, fodder, or money."

Zhang Fei continued proudly:
"I, Old Zhang, am thinking that since these Xianbei people have surrendered, we should let them show some sincerity. We can't just support them for nothing, right?"

Su Yao smiled when he heard this:
"What Yide said is correct. We can't let these people eat without doing anything."

"Since they are overestimating their own capabilities, those noble leaders should stop thinking about being able to bully others."

"Brother Yide, you go and preside over the trial of these people, kill a bunch of them, and then confiscate all their property to supplement military expenses and provide pensions for the soldiers."

"As for the other ordinary people, please ask them to follow us to Liaodong and contribute to the new life."

When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he clapped his hands and laughed:

"Haha, your Excellency, this is a great idea! I, Old Zhang, will do it right away and make sure those Xianbei people know how powerful we are!"

Looking at Zhang Fei's excited back, Su Yao also felt a little emotional.

This fierce Zhang Fei is actually a man of great talent but with some subtlety. This time he defeated the Tubo tribe with some brilliant moves.

Otherwise, without the confiscation of the spoils from this tribe, I would have lost a lot in this battle.

At this time, the discussion was coming to an end, and Qian Zhao added:

"Also, please don't forget to communicate with Envoy Liu and ask for his financial and material support."

"After all, our expedition this time is not just about Liaodong."

A few days later, Youzhou City.

When the news of Su Yao's great victory on the front line came, there was a dead silence in the Patriarch's Mansion.

When Qiu Liju was escorted here for execution, they were still worried that this move would greatly intensify conflicts on the border and the northern border would be in a state of disarray.

However, Su Yao's news shocked them all like a thunderclap.

After a brief silence, Liu Yu yelled in shock:
"Are you telling the truth?!"

"Not only did Lord Su recapture Pinggang, he also defeated the Xianbei, killed Suli, and captured nearly 10,000 people from the Tufa tribe?!"

Gongsun Ji, an official in Youzhou, also asked repeatedly:
"No joking in the military!"

"How long has it been?"

"How many people did he bring with him?"

"Why did we win so many big victories again?"

"I saw the last one he wrote asking for donations."

"I'm afraid this is his original intention."

"Is it possible that he falsely reported his victory results???"

Gongsun Ji really didn't believe it. The experience of his fellow tribesman Gongsun Zan, a brilliant man, had clearly told them how difficult it was to defeat the Wuhuan.

The last time, Lord Su relied on a sneak attack to defeat the strong with the weak and captured Qiu Liju alive, which was already shocking.

Now, it has only been half a month since the last good news.

He defeated Pinggang and Xianbei at the same time.

How can it be?

The Xianbei people were a more powerful enemy than the Wuhuan people.

Ever since Tan Shihuai emerged decades ago, the Han Dynasty has been defeated in succession.

They never won a single large-scale battle against the Xianbei.

Now tell them that Lord Su not only won, but also captured their entire tribe???
Isn’t this a fantasy?

This is simply an outrageous mother opening the door for something outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Not only Liu Yu and Gongsun Ji, but also Xianyu Fu, Xianyu Yin and others who had military experience were even more confused and could not believe it.

Cao Yu Wei You saw this and smiled bitterly, then bowed and said:

"Envoy Liu, colleagues."

"How dare Lord Su lie about military intelligence on such an important matter?"

Wei You interrupted Gongsun Ji's questioning and said firmly:

"Lord Su is known for his integrity, and his achievements in battle have always been seen by all. He is not a person who fabricates things out of thin air."

"Besides, if Lord Su really wanted to exaggerate, he could have just not mentioned the matter of material support. Wouldn't it be more convenient to report the military exploits directly?"

"But instead of doing so, he bluntly asked for help, which just shows his confidence and honesty about the war situation."

Liu Yu nodded upon hearing this, and his doubts were slightly alleviated:

"What Wei You said is absolutely right. Lord Su is definitely not a boastful person."

"However, this achievement is indeed too amazing. It is only natural for me to find it hard to believe."

Seeing that Liu Yu's attitude had softened, Gongsun Ji no longer insisted on his own opinion, but he still had doubts:

"Even so, the Tufa tribe has nearly 10,000 people. How did Lord Su manage to capture them so quickly and thoroughly?"

"Moreover, he captured these people but did not transport them to the rear. Instead, he detained them and sent them to Liaodong without authorization."

"This move is also extremely inappropriate."

Wei You paused. Seeing that the copy of the newspaper had no details, he could only make a guess:
"Gongsun Congshi doesn't know that Lord Su is a master at using troops. He is good at defeating the enemy with a small number of troops and winning by surprise."

"In the Pinggang battle, he may have taken advantage of the internal conflicts among the Xianbei people and the terrain, and the soldiers fought bravely, which led to this great victory."

"Moreover, Lord Su has many brave generals under his command, and there are also many wise men. They worked together to overcome the difficulties and achieved such a result. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable."

“As to the Treatment of the Captives”

Wei You had a slight headache, but he paused and explained:
"Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, with weak border defenses. Su Junhou is also the governor of Liaodong. Dealing with it locally can not only reduce transportation losses, but also contribute to the development of Liaodong."

“This is a bold move, but it is also efficient.”

"After all, judging from what he reported, he is obviously in deep financial trouble, otherwise he would not have written so urgently to ask the envoy to send personnel and supplies to help him."

After hearing his words, Liu Yu smiled slightly, nodded, and prepared to start arranging the transfer of personnel and materials.

On the one hand, he responded to Su Yao, and on the other hand, he also investigated the military situation at the front to understand the specific situation there and matters such as the placement of prisoners.

At this time, Gongsun Ji interjected indifferently:
"I haven't seen any contact between Wei Caoyuan and Lord Su in the past."

"Why do you seem to be speaking for Lord Su today?"
