System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"came back?"

"so many people?"

"Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

Cui Yan looked at the large army behind Lu Bu and said with surprise.

"Humph, I almost got into danger, but luckily we had Captain Xu and his brothers."

"Brother Xu, let me introduce you."

"This is Chief Clerk Cui Yan."

"Don't get too close to him, he's very cunning."

Lu Bu snorted coldly and said to Xu Chu.

"Xu Chu, I meet the Chief Registrar."

When Xu Chu heard that it was the chief clerk, he immediately became respectful.

Although the chief clerk is a civil servant and his salary is not high, he is very important.

This also results in this position having a small rank but great power.

"No need to be polite."

"General Wei, these soldiers have been exhausted from the long journey. Let's take them to the camp to rest."

"Tomorrow, General Lu and I will go to the army to distribute rewards to you."

Cui Yan stroked his beard and said to Xu Chu with a smile.

"reward?"

"I haven't done anything yet, how can I be treated so well?"

Xu Chu's eyes lit up and he asked in disbelief.

“The treatment is favorable.”

"No soldier in our army is ever treated unfairly."

"We also firmly believe that only when soldiers live well can they devote themselves wholeheartedly to the war."

"Only in this way can the world return to peace."

Cui Yan patted Xu Chu's shoulder with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face.

"Master...I...I won't say anything."

"Brothers, let's go to the barracks."

Xu Chu's eyes were red and wet, and he was deeply moved.

"Let's go, brother. You'll cry later."

Wei Xu waved to Xu Chu and said.

"what?"

Xu Chu was stunned. What do you mean I'm the one crying?

"Uh, I mean, there will be a time in the future when you'll be moved."

"Go and rest first."

Wei Xu realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained.

After everyone left, Lu Bu looked at Cui Yan suspiciously, his eyes full of scrutiny.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Cui Yan glanced at Lu Bu and asked warily.

"Why do you talk so eloquently?"

"I almost made her cry."

Lu Bu scolded angrily.

"Hi."

"Didn't I learn this from my lord?"

“Not only is the money in place, but we also need to instill faith in them.”

"Why did they leave their homes?"

"To survive. Only when there is peace can they retire and return to the countryside, so that their descendants can live a good life."

"It just hits the nail on the head."

Cui Yan chuckled and explained to Lu Bu the things he had recently figured out.

"I do not understand."

"You said we'll be distributing money at the barracks tomorrow?"

"Isn't it too early?"

"I just got over 10,000 people here."

Lu Bu shook his head and asked immediately.

"It is late."

"You have about 10,000 people back home in Chenliu."

"I'm sure you can take away hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Cui Yan waved his hand, obviously having already thought about leaving.

They received news that Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops had entered Yanzhou.

There will inevitably be a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, so they will naturally have to leave.

If they stayed and held Cao Cao back, Cao Cao might collapse, but Yuan Shu would also become more powerful.

Yuan Shu already controls Yuzhou and Yangzhou. If he can successfully take over Yanzhou, he will become a behemoth at a very fast speed.

You know, Yanzhou is connected to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Once Yanzhou was taken by Yuan Shu, he would take Qingzhou and Xuzhou at an extremely fast speed.

By then it would be difficult for them to deal with Yuan Shu.

Judging from the current situation, the more chaotic the Central Plains is, the more advantageous it will be for Dong Yu.

Instead of allowing the Central Plains to be unified by any party and then they would fight a decisive battle with them.

In that case, the risk is too great and it is far less beneficial than letting the Central Plains become a mess.

next day

Military camp training ground

The soldiers who had received the news early had already crowded the training ground.

"Why are there so many people?"

Lu Bu looked at Cui Yan with some curiosity, obviously frightened by the scene before him.

"During the ten days you were away, I had General Gao Shun publicize the news in Chenliu for a long time."

"I accidentally recruited 20,000 new soldiers."

Cui Yan smiled calmly and said casually.

"..."

"If you are so careless, why do you let me take the risk of going so far away?"
