Chapter 30 The Benefit of Taking Captives

After Zhang Yu talked about the benefits of express delivery companies benefiting the country and the people, he changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, General Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun wiped out the Yellow Turban thieves in Yingchuan and Runan. Soon, the Yellow Turban thieves in this area will be basically wiped out. In this process, many prisoners will be captured. Due to the lack of food supply, they are very likely to massacre prisoners. I want your Majesty to issue an imperial edict, allowing me to select some strong men as my servants from the prisoners, and let them go to my fiefdom to clear the land and farm. When they are clearing the land and farming, I want them to take on the task of delivering letters to solve the problem of the war-destroying post pavilion and the severance of postal routes."

Emperor Ling of Han saw General He Jin frowned and asked, "Is their food really so nervous?"

General He Jin shook his head and nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there were often natural disasters in the past few years, and Luoyang's food reserves were insufficient. Due to the war and the post road was destroyed, the food in Luoyang could not be transported to the front line. The three generals, Lu Zhi, the General of the North Central Army, Huangfu Song, the General of the Left Central Army, and Zhu Jun, had to pick up grain on the spot, but there were yellow turban moth thieves everywhere. The surplus grain in the local area had long been taken away by the Yellow Turban moth thieves. The soldiers on the front line lived a very difficult life. If tens of thousands of prisoners were suddenly captured, where would the food be provided for them? If they were released, they were afraid that they would continue to rebel. Although killing and surrendering was a taboo, they were forced to do so."

Emperor Ling of Han sighed and said, "Many of them just accomplices and will not die."

Zhang Yu shouted: "Killing and surrendering is bullied. If you can do it, you cannot kill it. I beg your Majesty to consider your advice."

Emperor Ling of Han looked at the Situ Yuan Wei. After Yuan Wei thought about it, he said, "I think Zhang Yu's suggestion is feasible, but where did Zhang Yu get the food to feed the prisoners? If there is no food for the prisoners to eat, once these prisoners go to Yingchuan, they will rebel. What I am worried about is that the Yingchuan bandits will be pacified, because too many prisoners gather, they will rise again."

Emperor Ling of Han saw General He Jin, and He Jin shouted: "I'll kill you all."

Emperor Ling of Han saw Zhang Yu and shook his head with a smile and said, "Although I have given you a fiefdom of the pavilion, due to the war, there is no food harvest in Yuwang Pavilion. How can you be able to supply at least tens of thousands of prisoners for half a year? Besides, Yuwang Pavilion is so small, how can you accommodate so many prisoners? How can you take care of it?"

Many people think that the atmosphere of ancient emperors was extremely serious when they were in a meeting. The emperor sat on the dragon chaise in the hall, and the ministers were standing in shock, and they didn't even dare to breathe. What the emperor asked, the ministers dared to answer. Once they said it wrong, they would pull them out and behead them.

In fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no such heavy rules. During the meeting, all the ministers sat down. The meeting was held in the form of discussion. The emperor was just a host. After the ministers agreed, the emperor finally made the decision.

The atmosphere of democracy is very strong!

Since Zhang Yu wanted to capture prisoners, he naturally had already thought of a solution to it.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "The number of prisoners I want is not large, only two thousand. After the prisoners come, I will give them a house and food to live in. As long as these people have food and accommodation, they will definitely not rebel again. I promise Your Majesty that if they rebel, I will be willing to be punished."

Emperor Ling of Han asked curiously: "Where do you get food for thousands of people? Where do you get houses for thousands of people to live in?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "As long as the prisoners arrive at the Yuwang Pavilion, there will definitely be houses and food."

Emperor Ling of Han saw the other ministers, and the ministers nodded.

Sikong Zhang Wen said: "I heard what Zhang Yu said and thought I could give it a try. Zhang Yu is an extraordinary person, and there will naturally be extraordinary methods for extraordinary people."

Emperor Ling of Han nodded and asked with a smile: "What do you guys think?"

Others nodded and said they could give it a try.

Emperor Ling of Han nodded and said, "Zhang Yu, General Huangfu Song said in his letter that you have made great contributions. I highly appreciate your loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Do it! I will issue an imperial edict for you to take it to extract the captives as my reward for you."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord, Longyou!"

Emperor Ling of Han continued: "Zhang Yu, you must continue to make merits for the Han Dynasty. If you can make great contributions again, I will continue to reward you."

Zhang Yu shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your clear rewards and punishments. I will definitely devote myself to the great Han Dynasty and die until I die."

Zhang Yu can also say empty words and clichés. Once he says it, he will be more beautiful than anyone else. In front of a centralized autocratic dictator, no one will treat him sincerely. Only then will he know which sentence is true. Anyway, Zhang Yu is just using the people in front of him. Everything is to start a express delivery company. If you say some beautiful words, you can get benefits. Why not say it?

There are so many benefits for Zhang Yu to extract prisoners. First, it can win the opportunity to draw special abilities by saving the lives of the prisoners. Second, it can get the prisoners, so that they can develop Yuwang Pavilion for themselves. A considerable number of people can serve as employees of express delivery companies. If you want to start a express delivery company, in addition to having a base, you must also have a large number of people. Third, the foolish monarch will die in five years. At that time, Dong Zhuo will be in chaos and warlords will fight in a melee. With people, you will have strength and you will be able to gain a foothold in this world.

As for the food, Zhang Yu was going to sacrifice his life and use the success value as the prisoners to exchange it in the system mall.

Anyway, Zhang Yu's success value has reached 43,128 points. If Lai Deting Chang sold that 10,000 pounds before coming, he could earn another 20,000 pounds. The food in the system mall is not expensive. Some rice can buy ten pounds with a little success value! If you spend 10,000 pounds, you can buy 100,000 pounds.

As for how to manage the prisoners, we can only do it step by step. Before Zhang Yu had thought about it, Zhang Yu's idea was to get someone first.

There is one thing that Zhang Yu firmly believes that people are the basis for starting a express delivery company.

Zhang Yu dared not ask for tens of thousands of prisoners at one time because there were too many people, there was no way to manage them. There were already a lot of two thousand people. After controlling these two thousand people, they could continue to absorb new people in the future!

Zhang Yu knew that such a big war broke out between Runan and Nanyang in Yingchuan, and that a large number of refugees would inevitably appear after the autumn. After the company was established, Zhang Yu thought that he could recruit some more people from the refugees.

Zhang Yu was happy that as long as Emperor Ling of Han issued an imperial edict, it would show that the express delivery company he opened was legal. These people here are witnesses, so Zhang Yu no longer worried about attacks on those who make trouble.

Emperor Ling of Han said to Zhang Yu: "You follow the Zhongyi Suspian Zhang Rang to go and rest. We still have important matters to discuss. Yingchuan needs to re-appoint the prefect, and the prefect Zhao Qian of Runan cannot continue to serve. After the Yellow Turbans in Runan was defeated, I want to transfer General Zhu Jun to Nanyang to quell the rebellion. General Lu Zhi of Jizhou was not effective in fighting. I want to transfer General Dong Zhuo to replace him and transfer General Huangfu to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou. I will issue many imperial edicts immediately, and you need to send him. You can sleep well for me, and I will send someone to come to deliver the letter tomorrow."
