Chapter 190 Five-pronged Approach

After finishing speaking, Liu Feng glanced at Lu Su and Zhao Yun.Both of them sat upright and listened very carefully.

"The first is to treat Zheng Bao's family well, and also to collect the morale of the army. The second is to investigate the number of people in Chaohu, their household registration, and then open a warehouse to release grain, so as to collect the hearts of the people. Finally, the army was dispersed by means of thunder and reorganized. become a lonely force."

Liu Feng was ambitious and said loudly. [

In troubled times, military power comes first.Now they have more than ten thousand people, but they are just subduing, not possessing.Liu Feng's ideal is to use Zhao Yun and Lu Su as generals to completely control an elite army of [-] people.

"Promise." Lu Su and Zhao Yun agreed, and then left as ordered.

After Zhao Yun and Lu Su left, Liu Feng's eyes were still bright.He secretly said: "If the situation permits, even if we collect people from Chaohu Lake and encroach on Huainan step by step, it will be a great way."

Liu Feng's original goal was to recruit soldiers from Liu Biao in the south, and then he dealt with Liu Biao and Sun Ce, lobbying the two to send troops to the north, and then he took the opportunity to lead [-] elite soldiers to surprise Xudu and take control of Xudu.

But that is, after all, operating on someone else's territory, which is somewhat risky.Now it is sitting on Chaohu Lake, if it can cannibalize the people in Huainan.

It is also a good way to form your own power, and then take advantage of the opportunity to grow when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao start a war, and surprise Xudu to welcome the emperor Yu Shouchun.

In Liu Feng's mind, this thought came to him involuntarily.

However, all this needs to know the situation of Chaohu Lake. If the money, food and population are sufficient, you can fight hard, but if it is the opposite, then you can only forget it.

Liu Feng's first two orders were very simple. One was to treat Zheng Bao's family well, and the other was just to investigate the current situation in Chaohu and prepare for the opening of the warehouse to release grain.

Soon, Lu Su and Zhao Yun finished their investigation and turned back.

"How?" When Lu Su and Zhao Yun walked in, Liu Feng opened his mouth and asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have ordered Zheng Bao's family to be treated kindly, and the supply will continue every day. As for the situation in Chaohu Lake, please take a look at it." Lu Su took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed them to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng reached out to take it, then unfolded the bamboo slips, and examined them carefully.Seeing this, I couldn't help but be disappointed.

Zheng Bao, the prefect of Chaohu Lake, claimed to have [-] soldiers.In fact, the real number is only between five and six thousand, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zheng Bao is extravagant, constantly taking away the fat and anointing of the people.As a result, the population of Chaohu has dropped sharply, and the total number is only about [-].

With a population of about [-], feeding five or six thousand soldiers, one can imagine the scene.

In the end, there was really no way, Zheng Bao thought of a trick.It is to carry out control, trap the people in the city, go out collectively when working, and send troops to supervise, so as to achieve the purpose of not fleeing the people.

At the end of the autumn harvest, the army was used as the labor force to harvest.

In other words, control the results of the labor of [-] people and then supply them.Every day, only a small amount of food is provided, so as not to starve to death. [

In addition, Zheng Bao occasionally sent troops to loot everywhere.That's how it lasted.

The result is that the people under it are all skinny and very weak.

Although Zheng Bao's power is not bad.But the overall strength is really too bad. First, there is no food, second, there are many infantry, and third, the people are destitute.
