The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 184: Easily Defeat the Bandits, Troops Enter Jingzhou
You can't kill all the bandits. The world is in chaos, and bandits will continue to exist just like the chaotic times. If you can't kill them all, it's best to make use of them.

After Che Shi and the others had eaten their fill, they went back to discuss the matter.

"His army has so much food! It's enough for us to eat for several years!"

"We are afraid that he will not come out of the barracks. As long as he leaves the barracks, we can attack and kill him. Why not pretend to agree and wait for them to leave the barracks, and then we will take the opportunity to attack!"

The Cheshi people didn't want to surrender in the first place, and after eating Luo Yuan's food, they wanted more. If they killed Luo Yuan, all the supplies would be theirs.

Decided to do this right away!
Luo Yuan got the news the next day and said to his men, "These bandits are damn bad. They still want to rob us!"

Xu Shu said: "How can we tell that they are unwilling to surrender? Didn't they send someone to say they are willing to cooperate?"

"If you were willing, you should have sent someone yesterday. Sending someone today to talk about cooperation means that this is a well-planned plan," Luo Yuan said.

Luo Yuan offered very good conditions to the other party. Why would he need to think about it for so long? He gave so many benefits. Wouldn’t he kneel down and curry favor with him right away?

"Yuan Jian, lead 300 men as the vanguard and charge back when you hear the commotion behind us!"

"Xingba, you lead your troops to guard the grain and grass in the center. Xiong Ying leads the fire troops as the center. Han Shengru leads the archers to support the battle."

Luo Yuan made arrangements quickly and then ordered the troops to set off, in order to take advantage of the enemy's strategy.

After he made the arrangements, he looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuanzhi, take the sword and shield soldiers and contact Shuang. Ask her to encourage the bandits to give up resistance and take the steamed buns to collect the prisoners!"

Everyone understood their mission and acted separately, and then the army set off.

Shi Tao and Huang Chengyan whispered: "This is the style of a great general!"

Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "You are just talking nonsense. Luo Yuan is a famous scholar in the world. What's the big deal about arranging troops and battle formations?"

Liao Hua led his men to go first without any obstruction along the way. Luo Yuan and the central army were together, loose on the outside but tight on the inside. When they were leaving the military camp and were about to enter the valley, countless soldiers and horses rushed out of the forest.

The army reacted immediately. Xiong Ying and Gan Ning led their troops to quickly engage the enemy and swept across the land.

Huang Yueying, Luo Yuan and Liu Guangda commanded the transport vehicles, which were connected front and back to form a city wall. The enemy could not get close at all. Huang Zhong led the archers on the vehicles to shoot arrows continuously.

Xiong Ying led a troop of fifty firemen, who blocked the enemy like an iron wall and pushed forward all the way.

"prick!"

"receive"

"prick!"

At the command, the enemy vacated a space, as if they had been bitten by a dog. Gan Ning saw the leaders of Cheshi and others, picked up a spear and threw it, stabbing the opponent in the chest. Cheshi fell off his horse, and Gan Ning rushed over and beheaded him with a single blow.

One of them saw Gan Ning's army advancing alone and was about to launch a surprise attack, but Huang Zhong shot him dead with one arrow. Huang Zhong jumped off the grain cart, raised his hand and aimed with his 300 archers, and then began to shoot like rain.

The battlefield was in chaos, but Luo Yuan's men had managed to strike a rhythm. The infantry fought without disrupting their formations, and they provided support with bows and crossbows, one wave after another.

Huang Chengyan and Shi Tao were extremely shocked.

Although they knew that the other party were just some bandits and were definitely no match for Luo Yuan, Luo Yuan's crushing attack was really too scary.

It is really scary that they were able to control the rhythm of the battlefield with such a small and weak force.

There are only more than a thousand soldiers. What would happen if there were ten thousand soldiers?

After Che Shi died, the other leaders lost their will to fight. They wanted to run away, but they saw countless refugees waving white flags behind them and rushing towards Xu Shu!
Shuang brought hundreds of people to maintain order. They would give a steamed bun to anyone who came, and would kill anyone who dared to snatch or break the rules.

These bandits had already starved to death, and when they saw the steamed buns to eat, they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground!
When several leaders saw that the situation was hopeless, they wanted to run away!
Huang Zhong jumped on his horse and chased after them, hacking and killing them indiscriminately. Gan Ning caught up shortly afterwards and killed anyone he saw, leaving them covered in blood.

Xiong Ying walked on the muddy road, watching Huang Zhong and Gan Ning killing people, feeling very envious.

Unfortunately, he is too heavy and no warhorse can carry him!
The battle lasted only a stick of incense, and it was almost over. None of the bandit leaders were left alive. Xu Shu came back and said, "My lord, we have captured at least 20,000 people in this battle!" "Let's follow the rules!"

Shi Tao said: "We should recruit soldiers and horses, they will be of great use in the future!"

Use bandits as soldiers?
You figured it out!
Luo Yuan looked down on it and smiled!

Huang Chengyan said: "Isn't this Gongqi's plan?"

"Father, these people are bandits. How can we use them without selection and training?" Luo Yuan said, "It's not easy to become a soldier for me, but now I have horses and cattle!"

They are just cattle and horses!

Luo Yuan had to stop. So many people would have to be regrouped, which would take several days.

Shuang brought his men to see Luo Yuan.

Wait for Luo Yuan to arrange for me.

Luo Yuan said: "You are one of the leaders. We need to maintain order now. You will be responsible for maintaining order among the bandits, distributing food to them, and arranging transportation. We can take care of the rest later!"

Shuang looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Xiong Ying said that women here can be officials."

"yes,"

"Am I an official then?"

"Otherwise, just do your job well first, and I'll appoint you to a formal position based on your performance!"

Shuang felt that Luo Yuan was really different. She moved aside, revealing several girls behind her. These girls were all pretty.

It also cleans your skin white and tender!
"This is a gift for the lord!"

Luo Yuan's mouth twitched. Am I a pervert?

"Go back and work hard. Send gifts to Madam and let her arrange work for you. The army doesn't want idle people!"

Feudal ideas are unacceptable!

With 20,000 laborers, Luo Yuan's marching speed increased. He led his men through Cao Cao's territory and entered Jingzhou half a month later!
It’s not far from Xiangyang!

Just as he ordered to set up camp, Kuai Yue had already arrived.

Luo Yuan returned with a large army. People in Jingzhou had already known the news and Cai Mao became nervous again.

Kuai Yue once again served as an envoy and brought gifts: "Gongqi, what are your plans for returning to Jingzhou this time..."

Luo Yuan’s purpose is too important.

As long as you are not here to fight, everything is negotiable!
"Kuai Yue, how about I do a deal with you?" Luo Yuan said.

Kuai Yue asked quickly: "What business?"

"Give me Jiangling. Wen Pin is now controlling Jiangling just waiting for me. He won't listen to you. I will take Jiangling. If you want to join Meng De, just continue to join Meng De. Don't worry about me. I want to take the four counties of Changsha."

Kuai Yue was speechless. Jiangling was an important town in Jingzhou, and Luo Yuan was really being rude in asking for it.

"Gongqi, Jiangling is an important place in Jingzhou! How can we give it away so easily!"

"If it wasn't for the land, I wouldn't want it. It's because of the land that I want it!" Luo Yuan said politely, "Kuai Yue, we are all acquaintances, so I won't be polite with you. Can you stop me from taking Jiangling?"

"But... that's my lord's land... as a subject I can't make the decision!"
