I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"It's better to kill them all directly!"

Ma Chao looked fierce and shouted in a low voice.

Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and others were originally Han Sui's subordinates.

After Cao Mao forced Ma Teng to kill Han Sui, they pretended to be loyal to Ma Teng, but took advantage of Ma's unpreparedness and rebelled.

Now the Ma family has lost a large amount of territory, and their power has also been severely damaged.

Ma Chao's heart is naturally full of hatred for them, and he just wants to kill them quickly!
Looking at Ma Chao with fierce eyes, Jiang Jiong's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily,
"General Meng Qi, that's tens of thousands of lives..."

"So what? Can you produce food to feed tens of thousands of mouths?"

Ma Chao squinted at him and said coldly,

"Besides, you have to be clear that these surrendered soldiers are all rebels. They are several times larger than our army. What should we do if we are restless?"

Jiang Jiong was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to respond, so he had to look at Cao Mao, who was in charge, for help.

Cao Mao pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly,
"Boyo, Shizai, what do you two think?"

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei glanced at each other, but it was Deng Ai who stood up and answered first,

"Teacher, the students feel that these people cannot be killed."

"Oh? Tell me your reason."

"These rebels are all Han Sui's subordinates. Although they can't be called elite troops, they are well-trained. They only need more practice to strengthen their own strength. There is really no need to kill more people."

Yan Liang and Wen Chou nodded in agreement with Deng Ai's words.

If you want to train a qualified army, you need to recruit enough people and pay the cost of manpower, material resources and even time.

And the current 4 horses, although not as good as Cao Jun, can save a lot of trouble.

"Is there a solution to the two questions raised by General Meng Qi?"

Cao Mao continued to ask.

Before Deng Ai could speak this time, Jiang Wei said first,
"For the lack of food and grass, we can ask General An Qiang to send food from Chang'an. As for their restlessness, the students actually have a way."

"tell me the story."

"Teacher can kill all the rebels who will be the leader, and declare that no one else will be held accountable. Then promote those ordinary soldiers to manage the rebels. In this way, naturally, there is no need to be afraid of their restlessness."

Jiang Wei smiled authentically.

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Mao's eyes lit up.

The method mentioned by Jiang Wei is actually the same as Cao Mao's promotion of Liu Bao to become the Shanyu of the Huns after he conquered the Xiongnu.

In order to keep his position as the Hun Shanyu, Liu Bao would naturally follow Cao Mao's orders diligently.

And those ordinary soldiers, after being promoted to generals, will naturally not follow those who have different ideas.

"So good!"

Cao Mao nodded, looked at Ma Chao and said in a deep voice,
"What Shi Zai and Boyue said is exactly what I thought. It would be a pity if 4 horses were killed like this. In the future, when Liangzhou is recaptured, your Ma family will also need manpower to stabilize the counties."

Cao Mao opened his mouth, and Ma Chao had no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

school field.

Cao Jun and the original defenders in the city drove tens of thousands of surrendered troops to the school grounds.

A table was set up here early.

Those surrendered soldiers all showed blank expressions, and their eyes fell on Cao Mao who was on the stage.

"My lord, it's almost time."

Zhou Cang said in a low voice.

Cao Mao's eyes were slightly closed, and when he heard this, he slowly opened his eyes, full of light,
"Bring Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, and Li Kan up here!"

"Here!"

Zhou Cang leads the way!

It didn't take long, and the three tied up were brought to the stage.

"Young master! We really know we are wrong!"

"I beg you, my lord, to forgive us!"

"We are willing to follow the young master to the death from now on!"

As soon as they saw Cao Mao, the three of Cheng Yin knelt down and kowtowed in panic!
But Cao Mao turned his back as if he didn't see it, his eyes swept across all the soldiers present like a sharp knife.

"Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, and Li Kan were originally generals of the imperial court, but for their own selfish desires, they caused chaos in Liangzhou! Now they are hanged and executed immediately!"

Cao Mao shouted sharply.

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers present let out low exclamations.

But Cheng Yin and the others turned pale in an instant!
"Cao Mao! We have already surrendered to you, why should we kill them all!"

Cheng Yin stared at his red eyes and shouted hoarsely!
"If it wasn't for the imminent defeat, would you choose to surrender?"

Cao Mao sneered and said disdainfully,

"In that case, what's the use of keeping you?"

The Yanyun eighteen riders on the side set up three people and walked to the gallows that had already been set up!
"Cao Mao! You cruel man!"

"We will not let you go even if we are ghosts!"

The three struggled desperately, shouting loudly!

"Ding, the host was scolded by Cheng Yin, Zhang Heng, and Li Kan for being cruel, and got 199 cruelty points."

Cao Mao listened to the notification sound from the system in his ear, but his face remained unchanged. He approached them slowly and looked at them coldly.

"Remember my face, so that I won't be found after death to take revenge!"

When the voice fell to the ground, he waved his hand!
Zhou Cang on the side quickly let go of the rope in his hand!

The three of them shook like electric shocks, but it was all in vain!

After a while, they were hung upright in the air, unable to move any more!
"Ding, the host hanged three generals, Cheng Yin, and was considered brutal by the rebels, and gained 499 brutal points!"

Cao Mao turned around slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice,

"You are originally the imperial army, but you follow Cheng Yin and other rebels to make trouble in Xiliang, you should be executed!"

"But I think you were deceived by the rebels. As long as you are willing to be loyal to me, you can be exempted from guilt!"

Naturally, these rebels who surrendered wanted to survive, instead of being hanged there miserably like Cheng Yin and the other three.

Therefore, after a commotion, it was unknown who knelt down first, and the rest followed suit.

"We are willing to serve our lord!"

They shouted in unison.

Hearing this, Cao Mao nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is indeed difficult to take over the [-] surrendered troops now, but with a little training, you can greatly enhance your strength, and it is worth it.

……

Cao Mao surrendered more than [-] soldiers and handed them over to Ma Chao for the time being.

In the first few days, there was a severe shortage of food and grass, and the city of Ji County had to tighten its belt to survive, and Cao Mao did not take any action for the time being.

It wasn't until Ma Teng ordered Pang De and Ma Dai to transport grain from Chang'an City that the situation in the city improved.

And Cao Mao also began to discuss the next action plan with everyone.

"The news that we conquered Ji County and killed Cheng Yin, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng must have been known by Song Jian, Cheng Yi and others. Our previous raid plan has come to nothing. My lord, what should we do next? ?”

Ma Chao asked softly.

Cao Mao stared at the sand table on the case table, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said,
"Fight steadily and steadily to attract the main force of the rebels, so as to carry out the battle."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

"My lord, fighting with them... isn't it a bit too anxious?"
