The bandits of Ji Nian yelled wildly: "Wei Yan, didn't you say you wouldn't kill us?"

Wei Yan stood on the high wall and smiled faintly: "I didn't say I wanted to kill you. I think there are so few gold, silver and treasures. How can you share so many of you? This is how, if you don't like anyone, kill the other party. If he dies, his share will belong to you. If anyone is brave and invincible, he will eventually have all the gold, silver and treasures!"

This is a simple application of "killing three soldiers with one peach". Most of these bandits who have accumulated aged are simple people and understand this trick. In addition, they used to belong to Liu Pi or Gong Du's tribe, and they had been fighting for gold and silver, and women had been tragic. In the past, Liu Pi and Gong suppressed them, and they dared not fight to the death. Now, under the stimulation of those dazzling gold and silver, the evil is exposed, and they are all fighting together.

In order to speed up their killings, many old weapons were thrown into the outside.

The original leader of the Yellow Turban soldiers was among these bandits. When they killed each other, it would be convenient for Wei Yan to control the remaining two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers.

At this time, the remaining two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers were eating hot meals and drinking fragrant broth. Several war horses that had been abandoned before, especially Liu Pi and Gongdu's war horses, were all killed and made into broth. The two thousand people could get a little meat and drink a bowl of broth.

They were satisfied. This was a life they had never lived. In the past, they followed Liu Pi and Gong Du, and they were always Liu Pi. Gong Du and their hundreds of elite Yellow Turban veterans were so popular that they drank spicy food. They couldn't even drink soup and were often hungry. Now, when we surrender to Wei Yan, we can eat enough food and drink meat soup, and we feel very happy.

However, the screams deep in the fort made them all doubt. Could this full meal be a dead head? Is Wei Yan going to kill them against his oath?

Just when the two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers were full of doubts and anxiety, Wei Yan appeared. He and Chen Dao stood together and shouted loudly: "All Yellow Turban righteous men, no, I should call you brothers. You are like me, all poor peasants, and they are all digging food in the soil. If the world can be truly peaceful, who doesn't want their wife and children to be warm? Who would like to follow Liu Pi and Gong Du's turtle scoundrels to do those things that are harmful to the world! You are right, I sent those 400 bastards to death, but I didn't kill them with my own hands, but let them

Why do I do this? Because they killed your parents and brothers, insulted your wives and sisters, and forced you to follow them as thieves. What are the benefits of you following them? You can't even have a full meal, and they are often taken to die by them! Why don't you follow me? I Wei Yan will regard you as my brothers, living and dying with you, seizing the enemy's camps, and seizing the enemy's food. I will distribute gold, silver, cloth, food and even women to you according to the merits, share the hardships and wealth with you..."

The passionate words touched the people who had been hurt by Liu Pi, Gong Du and others. For the first time, they felt that they were regarded as human beings, rather than a pitiful cannon fodder.

Wei Zhong, Wei Yi and even Chen Dao all didn't understand Wei Yan's intention, so Wei Zhong simply proposed: "Master, my subordinates don't understand why you don't want more than 400 veterans with combat experience, but instead want these two thousand cannon fodders with pale faces. Many of these people have never even killed anyone. What's the use?"

Wei Yan wanted to tell them the fact that some great men in the 20th century turned a group of peasants into elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but when they were right, they didn't know how to say it clearly without leaving any traces of time travel. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I am a descendant of Wei Wuji, the leader of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period. I have the ancestral "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi". The art of war talks about how to select soldiers. The general idea is that the slick people in the urban and rural areas should not be used to the government, and the people with white and fine faces should not be used to the government. Even if they are black and thick, they should be used to the government, rural people and miners should be best. Why is this? Because the former does not fear military laws and does not obey orders, the latter fears the law and obeys orders. Looking at the past and present, only those with strict disciplines can become strong troops!"

Since Sun Jian dared to claim that the Saint of War Sun Wu was his ancestor, there was no problem with Wei Yan claiming that the King of Xinling Wei Wuji was his ancestor. After all, the fief of the King of Xinling Wei Wuji was in Xinling, which was later Shangqiu Ningling, while Wei Yan's Yiyang was later Nanyang Tongbai, both in the same province, not far apart. Moreover, there was originally a branch of the Wei family, a descendant of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom, who took the country's name as a surname. Although many people would question it now, when Wei Yan became a prince in the future, many people would definitely lick it: "Ming Gong is indeed a descendant of Xinling Jun. He has obtained the essence of military strategy and used troops like a god!"

However, "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi" was not entirely original by Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling. After he led the coalition forces of the five countries to attack Qin, the princes of the five countries successively presented military tactics to him. Wei Wuji wrote it into a book, and then it was "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi". In other words, Wei Wuji was not the author, but the editor, but Wei Yan said it was the ancestral military tactics, and no one competed with him, because the twenty-one articles of "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi" had long been lost.

When Chen Dao heard Wei Yan's words, he was immediately impressed and bowed to the ground and said, "The general's ancestral military strategy is indeed exquisite. No wonder Xinling Jun was able to defeat the Qin army back then."

Wei Yan laughed secretly. This method of selecting soldiers has nothing to do with Xinling Jun Wei Wuji. It was completely said by the later famous generals of the anti-Japanese war. The military strategist Qi Jiguang, and later Zeng Guofan also had general requirements when he was electing soldiers.

Wei Yan looked at Chen Dao very seriously: "Shuzhi, I know that with my current strength, it is difficult for you to follow me convincingly. So, you can help me for a while first. Let's work together to ensure the peace of the borders of Runan and Nanyang counties, and to protect one family. Shuzhi, I wonder if you are willing to help me?"

Wei Yan thought that Chen Dao was second only to Zhao Yun in official history. During the Jianxing period of Shu Han, he served as the General of the West and the Governor of Yong'an. In terms of strength and achievements, the first person was Wei Yan, and the second person was Chen Dao. As for Wu Yi, he was all mediocre. How could such a general surrender to him easily? He wanted to surrender to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande? How could he be the son of a county magistrate compared to Liu Bei, who is now the governor of Yuzhou?

He never expected that Chen Dao would lean over and bow: "I wish to regard General Wei as his lord, and to serve the general Wei, even though he was heartbroken, he would not refuse."

Wei Yan was a little confused. The surprise came too quickly. He quickly helped Chen Dao up: "Uncle Zhi, what kind of virtue can I, Wei Yan, have I, and I, can I get Uncle Zhi to be effective..."
