Chapter 18 When it comes to being ruthless, you scholars are the best.

After a night of fighting, it is now late at night.

Peace returned to heaven and earth again.

Jiangdu County Government Office.

In the back house, in a room that had been temporarily cleaned up.

Ye Chen looked at the flickering and crackling candlelight.

Secretly pondering my future plans.

"call!"

"Now that we have taken over Jiangdu County, we finally have a place to stay for the time being!"

Ye Chen let out a long sigh.

At present, taking over Jiangdu County has allowed him to take the first step smoothly.

Since we have come to the chaotic era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, we have the golden finger of the Reputation Mall.

Ye Chen naturally had no intention of relying on others.

after all.

Lu Fengxian has a famous saying: "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time!!"

and!

He also wanted to try hard to see if he could change some of the historical tragedies and regrets in this chaotic world.

At the very least, he had to find a good way out for the Yellow Turban Army brothers who followed him.

and.

The subsequent Five Barbarians' Invasion of China was a serious pain point in Chinese history.

Since he has traveled through time, he will naturally not let the Sima family and those aristocratic families bring harm to this Central Plains land again.

Looking at the candlelight, Ye Chen's mind began to sort out the major historical events that would follow.

It is now the sixth year of Zhongping.

In other words, next year the twelve princes will form an alliance and start a joint campaign to attack Dong Zhuo.

The era of the rise of heroes in the Three Kingdoms will also be completely opened.

"Time is running out!"

Ye Chen sighed softly.

It is already winter, which means that he still has a little more than a year to develop steadily.

He wanted to rely on his background to quickly catch up with the big guys of the Three Kingdoms, but there was no hope at all.

after all.

Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, or even Liu Bei.

After all, they are from aristocratic families. They are either royal relatives or members of aristocratic families.

What about him? ?
Just a low-ranking Yellow Turban rebel.

The world today is dominated by aristocratic families.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty was no different from a puppet.

It is extremely difficult for someone like Ye Chen to rely on his background to compete in the world.

Take the matter of conquering Cheng Yu for example.

He put so much thought and effort into it.

But in the original history, Cheng Yu rushed over to serve Cao Cao with just one word.

This is the gap between ordinary people and the children of aristocratic families.

But the good thing is.

Ye Chen has his own unique advantages.

That is the reputation mall.

The massive amount of food brought by the reputation mall is Ye Chen’s biggest trump card.

After all, this is ancient times, the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The battle between the two armies seems to be a comparison of military strength.

In fact, it is a comparison of resources, logistics, food and so on.

Although Ye Chen does not have the reputation of the bigwigs in the other three countries.

But he can endure it!
Speaking of this, he is definitely the best in the Three Kingdoms.

They can be worn out to death.

As long as he lives, food will follow him wherever he goes.

It can be called a walking human granary.

Top nanny.

"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king!"

Ye Chen slowly recited these nine words.

This was the general strategy he had set for his future.

Back then, a beggar named Zhu Chongba built his empire with these nine words.

He is a traverser bound to a system.

Let’s not talk about unifying the world.

Becoming a lord or something like that wouldn't be too much, right?

------

at the same time.

On the other side, in the temporary military camp in Jiangdu County.

The officers and soldiers in the barracks heard the commotion in the county town.

I originally wanted to go out of the camp to take a look.

Unfortunately, the Yellow Turban Army had spies in the city recently, and the county magistrate wanted to prevent the Yellow Turban Army spies from infiltrating into the military camp.

There was a strict order that no one was allowed to leave the camp without permission.

Just when everyone didn't know why.

Who could have thought that hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers would actually charge into the camp.

The officers and soldiers in the barracks originally wanted to resist.

But they heard that the Yellow Turban Army had already broken through the county government office, and the leader of the Yellow Turban Army was holding the head of the county magistrate Li Gang.

then.

Amidst the slogans of "surrender and no killing".

The two thousand soldiers knew that the situation was hopeless, and like a deflated ball, they surrendered their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

After the surrendered soldiers were gathered.

Accompanied by Captain Lin, Cheng Yu came to the military camp.

Now he has recognized Ye Chen as his master.

Naturally, he would clear up some corners for his lord.

His first target was these surrendered officers and soldiers.

He tried his best to incorporate all these surrendered officers and soldiers into the Yellow Turban Army.

Surrendering and being willing to join the Yellow Turban Army are two different concepts.

Surrender means I won’t fight with you anymore.

At worst, I can stop serving in the army and go home to farm.

Joining the Yellow Turban Army would mean becoming a rebel and going against the imperial court.

If it fails.

That would mean losing your head.

Of course, Cheng Yu knew very well what these soldiers were thinking.

It is easy to make them surrender, but it is not an easy problem to make them join the Yellow Turban Army voluntarily.

Fortunately.

Cheng Yu was inspired by Ye Chen when he captured Jiangdu County.

Learn from others.

A large-scale eating show started directly in the military camp, in front of these surrendered officers and soldiers.

"Come on, Brother Zhang, try this braised chicken leg!"

A soldier took a braised chicken leg in his hand and bit off most of it in one bite.

When you take a bite, the juice oozes out and your face is covered in grease.

Simultaneously.

Bowl after bowl of臊子面 was served.

Lamb sauce served with chewy noodles.

The entire open space of the military camp was suddenly filled with the aroma of mutton noodles and braised chicken legs.

at this time.

The officers and soldiers who were being held in the open space smelled the fragrance.

Everyone looked at the Yellow Turban Army eating and drinking happily and their mouths watered instantly.

"It smells so good! Damn, these rebels actually eat so well!"

"I'm just saying, you traitors, do you dare to let me have a taste of you!"

"Brother, please, let me have a bite. We haven't eaten much in the past few days!"

"Shut up! You are a soldier of the imperial court, but you are begging for food from the rebels. Isn't that shameful?"

"Woo woo, big brothers, I'm really hungry! Even if you don't give me food, please don't eat in front of me, okay!"

"..."

For a while.

In the temporary military camp, all kinds of noisy sounds echoed back and forth, including cursing, begging, anger, envy and other emotions.

There are so many different things.

But the most common sound is the sound of swallowing saliva.

It is really.

The aroma of mutton noodles, braised chicken legs and braised eggs is so damn delicious.

In addition, the grain storage warehouse had been burned down before.

These officers and soldiers have been eating thin food for many days.

Now we see the Yellow Turban Army eating chicken legs and noodles.

Who wouldn’t be jealous?
Cheng Yu stood in the open space, looking at the expressions on the faces of the officers and soldiers squatting on the ground, with a faint smile on his face.

"Captain Lin, have someone prepare all the臊子面, braised chicken legs, and braised eggs!"

"There's also corn porridge, white flour buns, and pickled mustard tubers."

"Sir, do you really want to do this?"

"After all, Commander Qu didn't give the order!"

"What if something goes wrong?"

Captain Lin asked with some concern.

"It doesn't matter!"

Cheng Yu smiled slightly.

"My lord, you are a man who wants to do great things. You can't do everything yourself!"

"Besides, if our Yellow Turban Army wants to develop, we need to recruit soldiers!"

"Aren't these officers and soldiers in front of us the best source of soldiers?"

"But..." Captain Lin hesitated.

Finally he said.

"But, we are rebels after all!"

"That's not a problem at all!"

Cheng Yu waved his hand, "Even if you are rebels, I will join you!"

"I don't care, why should they care!"

"Of course!"

Having said this, Cheng Yu's tone became grim.

"If anyone really cares!"

"Captain Lin, why don't you give them a hand!"

"Help them get on their way!"

Hearing this, Captain Lin looked at the sneer on Cheng Yu's lips again.

I shivered involuntarily.

Nima!

Talk about cruelty!

It has to be you scholars!
