I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 636: Common People, Grateful
"That's right!"

Guo Tu suddenly became excited:

"He wants to capture me, right? Then we should set up traps and defenses in the camp and wait for him to fall into our trap!"

"If he attacks with a large army, we have the advantage of camps and numbers, so it won't be a problem to defend. But he will provoke a war and become an enemy of our Guandong princes, thus alienating himself from the hearts of the people."

"And if he doesn't send out a large army, but only launches a small night raid to secretly capture people, that would be even better!"

"Su Yao rose suddenly, without any foundation, and his power is entirely dependent on one person."

"As long as we capture him and kill him, his power will collapse immediately."

"By then, Lord Yuan will be the only ruler in the world, so why worry about not accomplishing your great cause?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He had to admit that Guo Tu was a man who always spoke to his heart.

As for this plan, it is bold and tempting.

If he could successfully capture Su Yao, not only would he be able to avenge his previous humiliation, but he would also be able to greatly enhance his prestige and status among the princes.

However, Yuan Shao still had concerns in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said, "Although this plan is brilliant, it also carries considerable risks."

"Su Yao is extremely brave. If he sees through our plan and uses our trick against us, won't we be doomed?"

Hearing this, Guo Tu sneered and said confidently, "Mr. Yuan is worrying too much."

"Su Yao is certainly brave and fearless, but his arrogance is his fatal flaw. He is always accustomed to using force to defeat clever tactics and launching reckless charges."

"As long as we relax on the outside and tighten on the inside, and wait for opportunities to come, we will be invincible."

"If he really dares to come, then we can only blame him for being too arrogant and courting his own death."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded slightly, thinking that what Guo Tu said made sense.

Compared to provoking an attack on Luoyang City, staying in the camp and being able to remain unchanged in the face of any changes is indeed a good idea.

After all, if Su Yao could be captured in one fell swoop, what a glorious achievement that would be!

"Okay!" Yuan Shao finally made up his mind, "Let's follow Gongze's plan."

"However, we still need to be cautious in this matter and never give him an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Yes!" Guo Tu bowed and responded, feeling secretly proud.

He knew Yuan Shao's character very well, and once he made up his mind, he would not change it easily.

This time, he must make that arrogant guy Su Yao pay the price!

As night fell, Yuan Shao's camp was brightly lit. The patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth, but seemed a little absent-minded.

However, beneath this seemingly negligent defense, there lies a "trap" carefully laid out by Guo Tu.

He deliberately set up his tent a little closer to the camp gate, erected his own Guo-shaped flag, and increased the number of guards around it to create the illusion of being under special protection, but he himself was not actually in that tent.

At the same time, he also secretly mobilized a group of elite cavalry and powerful crossbowmen with superb archery skills, and ambushed them nearby, ready to launch a sudden attack when Su Yao attacked and kill him in one fell swoop.

Kill, that's right.

Although Yuan Shao wanted to capture him to demonstrate his martial virtues, Guo Tu and Gao Lan decided to go all out from the beginning to deal with such a master.

However, what the two did not know was that Su Yao had already seen through all of his arrangements.

Standing on the top of Luoyang City, holding a telescope and looking at the system's small map, the deployment of Yuan Shao's camp was clear at a glance, and Su Yao could see all the little tricks of the two. So, while they were nervously waiting for Su Yao's possible invasion, Su Yao took advantage of the situation in the city and left them hanging for three whole days.

During these three days, Yuan Shao was indecisive and doubtful in the camp.

Civil servants such as Lu Zhi and Xun Yu were busy preparing supplies and military pay, and went to seal off the mansions.

Lu Bu and other military officers were busy reorganizing the city defenses, training soldiers, and preparing for the expedition.

Su Yao had nothing to do, so he took his maids Hong'er, Xiaochun, and other maids, as well as his personal guards Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, to work in the city.

The General of Chariots and Cavalry personally patrolled the city and helped the people in the city to rebuild after the war.

This shocked the people inside and outside Luoyang city.

Where have they ever seen such a helper who can climb walls and run on rooftops and has such great strength?
Ruins were easily demolished, shanties were built, and even cats lost by children in the city during the war were accurately captured by Su Yao.

And, most importantly, Su Yao was generous in opening warehouses and rewarding the civilians and soldiers in the city.

Among the valuable items confiscated from the homes of the aristocratic families, except for the fine ones of epic quality and above that were placed in Su Yao's "home" as decorations, Su Yao directly found the Zhen family and other merchants on the spot to sell the blue and green ones and give them away as rewards.

Not only were the soldiers who had made outstanding contributions in the battle rewarded, but many of the common people in the city also received a windfall.

Those who lost their homes in the siege, those who helped in firefighting, and those who actively participated in reconstruction received compensation and rewards from Su Yao.

He even opened up some of the mansions of aristocratic families to temporarily accommodate everyone.

This shocked the people in Beijing.

Luoyang City has suffered a series of chaos in recent years. There was one wave caused by He Jin and the Ten Attendants, another wave caused by Dong Zhuo, and finally another wave caused by Su Yao entering the city.

As the saying goes, when the city catches fire, the fish in the pond will suffer.

As the backdrop of the war between the two sides, the people of Luoyang, the capital, suffered a lot.

However, no matter whether it was General He Jin or Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, none of them ever cared about the common people living in Luoyang City.

Under these successive wars, even the wealthy families who owned properties in the city could not escape, let alone the common people who depended on the city.

However, Su Yao's arrival gave them hope.

This young General of Chariots and Cavalry and Marquis of Guanjun not only defeated Dong Zhuo and restored order in the capital, but also thought of the common people first after the war.

The people of Luoyang City were moved to tears and praised Su Yao's kindness.

"General, you are truly our savior!"

A white-haired old man held Su Yao's hand and said excitedly:

"Thanks to you, our Luoyang City was able to restore order so quickly, and the people can live in peace."

"I heard that you are going to lead the troops to fight against Dong Zhuo personally. Please rescue His Majesty!"

The people were talking about it, full of admiration and expectations for Su Yao.

As for Su Yao himself, he just smiled indifferently in response to these praises. He waved his hand, turned around and walked away gracefully, getting on his horse and riding away.

Holding Xiao Hong'er in his arms, Su Yao glanced at the system panel.

Compared with those noble families with cold reputation in Luoyang City, after his hard work for a few days, the reputation of the civilian forces has been raised to respect.

Next, it’s time to deal with Yuan Shao outside the city.
