There is a very clear rule - never massacre the city, let alone kill the soldiers! Put people first!

This is why, after the water flooded the Seventh Army, Yu Jinsuo surrendered 30,000 soldiers, most of whom did not surrender, but Guan Yu did not kill any of them, and even fed them with insufficient food!

"I see - this Cao Mengde is really cunning!"

Guan Yu sighed deeply and sighed.

Zhou Cang's report continued, but his tone became inexplicably heavier, "And Liu Ye, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, is also stubborn...and refuses to surrender!"

Guan Yu asked: "Is his parents, wife and children also in the north?"

"This..." Zhou Cang scratched his head, "I don't know about this."

need…

Liu Ye had two sons, one of whom was more arrogant and named Liu Tao.

Zeng said without shame: "Confucius is a sage with a hammer, a wise man, but he can't control the world in the face of a group of fools. How can he be a saint?"

Of course, it doesn't matter what his son said.

The important thing is that as long as his son is a hostage in the north, it will become extremely difficult for Liu Ye to surrender.

"--call!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The originally good mood was suddenly cast into a thick layer of gloom.

Guan Yinping felt the cold atmosphere here and quickly changed the subject, "Father, such a great victory...you haven't rewarded us yet?"

"yes…"

Because of Guan Yinping's words, Guan Yu's attention was diverted, and his gloomy mood calmed down a bit. He immediately said: "In this battle, you all have made contributions to Anguo and Wei Zhi. Yinping has all been promoted to military academy captains, and each has increased its troops.

Thousands of people…”

"Thank you, handsome father——"

Guan Xing, Guan Yinping and Guan Suo said in unison.

As the voice fell, Guan Yinping and Guan Suo added a question in unison.

"What about...the fourth brother?"

This time, Jiangxia was captured without bloodshed. Guan Lin sent Liao Hua and Zhuge Ke to rush thousands of miles to intercept his father's attack on Fancheng and established his father's attack on Jiangxia. They were also indispensable!

Not only Guan Yinping, but also Guan Suo thinks so.

In Guan Yu's view, this contribution is second only to that of "Hong Qigong" who provided intelligence and told Fancheng that there was an ambush...

call…

However, when it comes to Guan Lin's reward, Guan Yu inevitably sighs.

In fact...he had already decided before that he would reward Guan Lin heavily this time.

So much so that, taking into account his previous meritorious service, Guan Yu planned to add three thousand troops to Guan Lin, and told his brother Liu Bei to appoint Guan Lin as the prefect of Jiangxia.

In addition to being a reward for him, this can also be regarded as Guan Yu's special regard and important responsibility for this son.

However, this is based on the premise that Jiangxia's nine thousand soldiers surrendered.

now…

These nine thousand surrendered soldiers...have not yet surrendered.

If Yunqi is given three thousand more troops, Guan Yu won't be able to get them.

He was immediately in trouble.

Zhou Cang also cupped his hands and said: "Although the fourth young master did not directly participate in the battle, he took the greatest credit... Guan Gong deserves to be heavily rewarded, and let the officers and soldiers of the Guan family army see the rewards and set an example!"

It's rare that Zhou Cang would spare no effort to ask for credit for Guan Lin.

In fact, although the battle was fought smoothly and the city was easily won, from Zhou Cang's point of view, thinking about it now makes him even more scared.

Tan Ma has sent information that Fancheng is ambushed from all sides!

If it were not for Master Yunqi’s remonstrance and Hong Qigong’s letter that revealed the secret, Guan Gong insisted on attacking Fancheng. Now... who would be celebrating like this?

This is a very scary thing to think about!

Zhuge Ke also handed over his hand, "You must be true to your words, rewarded for your achievements, and punished for your rewards. I also ask Guan Gong to reward the fourth son of Guan."

Everyone said this, and Liao Hua also raised his hand and shouted: "The general will reconsider..."

In fact, Liao Hua was saying in his heart.

——"Guan Gong, look over here..."

——"Actually, I... also have some merit!"

…

Finally, the long-awaited call came true.

Guan Yu's red phoenix eyes opened and closed again. He seemed to have made some kind of decision and said immediately.

"I will send a letter to my eldest brother immediately!"

"Pass an order from Guan and appoint Guan Lin as the prefect of Jiangxia. In this battle, all Jiangxia prisoners, including more than 9,000 Jiangxia naval forces, including enemy generals, will be rewarded by Guan as much as Guan Lin, the prefect of Guanlin, can persuade them to surrender!"

this…

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Will such a reward seem a bit "short-selling"?

After all, under the current situation...the more than 9,000 Jiangxia naval forces don't seem to be able to surrender.

Could it be that...if they don't surrender, will Yun Qi still support them?

Zhuge Ke also felt it was a bit unfair and immediately handed over his hand. But when he was about to speak, Liao Hua stopped him and signaled to him... Guan Gong made the decision. Unless Mr. Yun Qi persuades others, others... should just go to sleep.

However, Zhuge Ke still couldn't help it and opened his mouth and said: "I have the courage to ask Guan Gong for orders. Since the Fourth Young Master is the governor of Jiangxia County, I will recommend myself to be the long history of Jiangxia and assist the Fourth Young Master!"

Well…

Zhuge Ke's words immediately caught Guan Yu's eyes, and Guan Yu asked lightly: "You have adopted Zhuge's military advisor here and have not yet entered Shu. How can you be the governor of Jiangxia County?"

Zhuge Ke seemed to have expected that Guan Yu would ask this question, and immediately replied: "I have heard for a long time that my father Zhuge is dedicated to serving the public. Now he has newly captured Jiangxia, looking at Nanyang in the north and Huainan in the east. It is the time when Jingzhou is employing people. I should write to my father.

My father will definitely understand his child's unfilial piety, will definitely allow his child to experience this, and will be proud of him."

this…

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He hesitated for a moment before chanting one word:

"--good!"

In fact, Guan Yu's expectation for his son Guan Lin was more than just having Zhuge Ke assist him as the chief historian.

Guan Yu even hoped that this son could create miracles like before!

These more than 9,000 captives may seem to others to be unsolvable problems and food devourers.

But in Yun Qi's hands.

Guan Yu firmly believed that his son could do "what a capable person cannot do"!

He will definitely use "unbelievable" methods to make these more than 9,000 captives become his subordinates and work for him. You know, this is not the first time Yun Qi has created a miracle!

In addition, Zhuge Ke can serve as the governor of Jiangxia with a salary of 600 shi and assist Guan Lin.

What about Liu Ye?

This month Dan commented on the "talent that helps the world", he can assist Cao Cao, why can't he be the county magistrate of Jiangxia with a salary of 600 shi, and also assist Lin'er?

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

His thoughts were changing rapidly, his eyes were firm and confident.

——"Guan's Lin'er is called Qilin'er because he can do things that others cannot do!"
