I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115: Surprised
"Ahhh-"

"Run, run!"

"Our army is defeated, our army is defeated!"

Surprisingly smooth.

Su Yao led his troops and drove the enemy cavalry directly into the formation. He rushed from left to right and beat the barbarian army, making them howl like ghosts and wolves, and their livers and gallbladders were torn apart.

They screamed and wailed, discarding their armor and joining the fleeing army.

How could Su Yao miss such an opportunity? He chased after them and gave each of them a bloody hole in their back.

As a result, Hu Yanjun's army, named Wanqi, was completely defeated by this wave of rapid attacks, without even the slightest defense being organized.

"Is this the Zuoxian King's tribe you are boasting about?"

It was surprisingly smooth.

This is the voice of every soldier who participated in the war when they were cleaning up the battlefield after the war.

No one could have imagined that the nearly ten thousand troops besieging Yunzhong would collapse in less than a day.

Except for King Zuo Xian's second prince who decided to flee when the situation turned against him, nearly half of the enemy troops ended up dying in a foreign land.

And their own casualties were less than 10%, and they basically appeared in the melee during the final rush to the camp.

Another epic victory.

Yuvroud had never imagined before that soldiers of the same quality, just led by a different person, could explode with such a powerful force and achieve such brilliant results.

Thinking about how nervous I had been along the way, now all of it has turned into a passing cloud under this glorious victory.

The only thing he regretted was probably that Governor Su was too decisive in killing people.

There was almost no room for surrender for Huyanjun's tribe.

Su Yao's treatment of these rebels was cruel and decisive, with the word "kill" in mind.

And under such great military might, they also had an unexpected gain:
"The XX tribe of the Qiang people has more than 400 victorious soldiers. They have led their troops to surrender to the governor of Su. They are willing to be the vanguard of the governor and do the work of dogs and horses."

"Black Wolf's XX Division has more than 300 victorious soldiers. We specially led them to surrender to Governor Su..."

"Xianzhi XX Division, with more than 200 victorious soldiers, specially led them to surrender to Governor Su..."

"."

Because Su Yao was staring at the Huns' central army formation, these cannon fodders maintained a complete organization compared to the Second Prince's own troops who suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, when they saw that the battle was over, they hurriedly came to express their submission. Once counted, there were nearly 1,450 people.

"These bastards?"

Su Yao also discovered during the battle that these wallflowers changed very quickly. It could be said that after he killed the first general with one arrow, they immediately became neutral.

At this time, when I asked the county governor, I completely understood.

It turns out that these people are also miscellaneous people who have moved to the local area. They are caught between various forces. Whoever wins them always helps whom.

If the local management of the Han Dynasty is effective and governed by people with considerable ability and fame, then they will be the best thugs.

They are different from the orthodox Xiongnu barbarians who have been trained to be cunning and often spend a lot of money to recruit them.

These bastards, whose current level of civilization is still very backward, only need a small amount of money to get their services.

But if a big man fails to manage the local area, then there will be a corrupt official who likes to exploit and recruit excessively.

Then they will become the most troublesome local gangsters who are not afraid of death.

Why has it been difficult for the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion in border counties recently?

The Qiang, the Huns, the Xianbei, the Wuhuan, and even these bastards with few tribes all raised their flags of rebellion, encroaching on the borders of the Han Dynasty in waves, and constantly bleeding the Han Dynasty?

Is it because they are strong?

No, at this time, even the Huns, who were the most Sinicized, had inferior equipment and personnel quality to those of the Han army.

The rebellion of the Qiang people often relies on fellow villagers serving in the Han army and uniting with local powerful people to make it bigger and bigger.

The level of civilization and combat effectiveness of these nomadic tribes were far inferior to that of the Han men who were far ahead at this time.

Except for some die-hard rebels, the biggest reason for these people's resistance was that the Han Dynasty was no longer a human being and was too oppressive to survive.

Of course, even the local Han people were being exploited and revolted continuously. For these barbarians, the court and officials could say that there was an absolute minority who could treat them as human beings. The long-term high-pressure and exploitative rule has produced two extremes.

First, like the Xiliang Qiang people and Bingzhou Hu people, if the pressure cannot be maintained, they will kill officials and rebel in an instant. The Han-Qiang war in Liangzhou lasted for more than a hundred years, and Bingzhou was directly separated from most of the Han territories at the end of the Han Dynasty without restoring the Han territory. The hundreds of years of accumulation of border expansion between the two Han Dynasties were destroyed in one day.

The other is like in Youzhou now. As soon as they hear that the famous Liu Yu is coming, all the barbarians who are causing trouble will surrender and withdraw their troops.

He was actually able to avoid the disaster of swordsmanship and protect the people in troubled times with only benevolence, righteousness and virtue. Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was so powerful in the past, could not penetrate into Youzhou under his governance.

This is the strange contrast in the northern border of the Han Dynasty in the last years of Emperor Ling's reign due to different governance concepts and policies.

But these have nothing to do with Su Yao. He doesn't need to govern this place, but he still accepts all the bastards who come to his door.

It was even very different from the usual practice. After the military salary expenditure was fully paid, not only were the wages paid in full as usual, but even young and middle-aged soldiers could enjoy an extra meal subsidy, and those who died in battle also received full pensions.

Of course, the most critical one is the distribution of rewards based on merit after the war. Su Yao specifically stated that the distribution will be based on the standards of military merit and will be treated equally.

As long as you can fight, your reward will be inevitable.

This moment made the previously fearful bastards beam with joy, shouting that the governor was righteous, a million victories and so on.

However, this scene made You Xian Wang Yu Fuluo and County Governor Luan He grit their teeth.

"The governor is still young. You must know that Rongdi is a wolf, greedy and profit-seeking, and capricious."

Luan He glanced at Su Yao who accepted the cheers and allegiance of the barbarians, shook his head and said
"Now that the governor is so lavish in his actions, he has whetted their appetites. If things go wrong when they come back, they will definitely have their mouths opened. How will you be satisfied then?"

The reason for Huvrault's opposition is very simple:

"You're a bastard, you're worthy of being paid the same as me?"

Such blatant discrimination by the two men immediately made the leaders of the newly surrendered Zahu tribes furious and started to scream.

Su Yao stopped this and said

"We are all flesh and blood, sons and daughters of our parents, and good parents to our wives and children. If anyone dies, I believe it is a disaster for the family.

If you are an enemy of me, then everyone is his own master. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight. Killing him is his destiny.

But if you are someone who admires Wang Hua and sincerely submits to you, Su Yao will promise not to distinguish between superior and inferior based on ethnic differences. We should treat each other as brothers and sisters, and we will treat each other as one family. "

"This"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. They did not expect that Su Yao, who had just arrived in this troubled place where Han and Hu coexisted, would have such a deep understanding of things between Hu and Han.

Especially the governor Luan He, he knew very well that many times in the history of the Han Dynasty, the Yi Cong of the Hu people betrayed or even fled the battlefield, which was often due to the unfair distribution of generals.

However, I know that there are still very few people who can really treat others fairly. After all, most of the time, these barbarians have no other choice but to suffer the consequences.

"Captain Gao Yi, I admire your benevolence!"

Wang Ling took the lead in shouting, feeling quite proud of himself. Among the thousands of people, Wang Ling thought he was the only one who knew how broad the governor's mind was.

With Wang Ling taking the lead, other Han and Hu soldiers also cheered and cheered.

The ones who worked the hardest were the barbarians who had just been brought under the account.

They had just been intimidated by force and surrendered in fear. Unexpectedly, they received a promise to treat them as their own.

Without any level of education, they can only express their feelings in a loud voice.

Su Yao smiled faintly at this, looked at the morale that was instantly lifted, and was very satisfied.

In fact, there is a very simple reason behind his high-sounding words.

That is the characteristic of the system regarding foreign official positions such as the Xiongnu Zhonglang General.

The more types of servant troops under control, the higher the impact on the stability of the conquered area, and at the same time, more reputation and legitimacy bonuses will be obtained. Even if you collect a different subordinate, it will be given according to its characteristics. A small attribute bonus to the character.

To put it bluntly, this line is about vassal dog-raising. The more followers you bring, the stronger the bonus will be.

That's why Su Yao deliberately targets the big ones and lets go of the small ones. Now that these bastards have come to buff him, he naturally accepts them decisively.

And for these troops who are already his subordinates, he will not be stingy with their military pay. The combat effectiveness of the fully paid army is completely different from that of the underpaid army.

What's more, now the military pay and supplies he pays can all be captured and released in a legitimate and obedient manner. Su Yao likes this kind of good thing of raising soldiers with public funds and generosity to others.

So, after finishing the chores, Su Yao waved his hand and pointed his sword at Jiuyuan.
"Target King Zuoxian, attack!"
