Chapter 179

Anyway, they had no combat power.

But if these commoners were gathered by someone with ulterior motives and continued to cause trouble, it might affect the entire battle situation in Yecheng.

At that time, it would be Ju Shou’s crime!

His eyes flickered slightly, and Su Li smiled: "Perhaps... I can help you all solve this problem!"

Ju Shou was overjoyed: "What high opinion does Lord Su have?"

Su Li said in a deep voice: "My Baiyun Town is not too far from Julu City, and it is about to be upgraded to a city, so it needs a large population."

"If these Yellow Turban personnel could be relocated to my Baiyun Town territory, my Baiyun Town would provide for them, and at the same time, they could help my Baiyun Town build and upgrade to a city as soon as possible."

"I think as long as they are given such a stable life, they will abandon their Yellow Turban faith and become citizens of our Great Han again!"

"In addition, my Baiyun Town also has a certain military capability, which can prevent them from having any further contact with the Yellow Turban army and avoid them being incited again to become bandits!"

"The only thing to worry about is that 100,000 Yellow Turban personnel is too many, and with my Baiyun Town’s resources, I fear..."

Speaking of this, Su Li deliberately looked toward the warehouse of Julu City.

The Yellow Turbans’ resources were all stockpiled in that location.

Hmm, this had already been said very clearly; it just depended on whether Ju Shou was sensible.

If Ju Shou was not sensible.

He wouldn't mind taking them by force.

Anyway, the main credit for capturing Julu lay with him.

Taking some resources, that wouldn't be too much, right?

Fortunately, Ju Shou was also very sensible and immediately smiled: "This is not difficult. There are many Yellow Turban resources in Julu City. Anyway, we don't have many troops now and cannot take them away or guard them. Lord Su can take what you see fit..."

"It doesn't matter if you take all these resources; after all, they were taken from the people and should be used for the people."

Alright!

Su Li’s eyes brightened slightly; this Ju Shou was worthy of being a famous scholar in Jizhou.

Not only was he sensible.

But he also said it in such a high-sounding way.

Taken from the people, used for the people—the stature of this was immediately apparent.

With a few words, he determined that his settling of these 100,000 Yellow Turban personnel and taking the resources of Julu City was a righteous act.

Su Li admired him endlessly.

However, for Ju Shou and the others, dealing with these Yellow Turban personnel or the resources of Julu City was indeed troublesome.

They simply had no extra troops to guard them.

But for Su Li, dealing with these Yellow Turban personnel and resources was easy.

He would just take Zhao Yu and the Blood Cavalry to escort these 100,000 people and the resources back to Baiyun Town.

Don't look at the fact that they only had 2,000 people.

But escorting these 100,000 people and resources back was an easy task.

After all, these 100,000 Yellow Turban personnel were just commoners who had just joined the Yellow Turbans and had no combat power.

Even if Su Li only had a mere 2,000 Blood Cavalry, he could still keep this group of people in check.

Letting this group of people be responsible for transporting the resources would naturally make things simple.

However, there was also a drawback.

That was, escorting the personnel and resources back to Baiyun Town would inevitably delay the time to continue participating in the war in Yecheng.

If the battle of Yecheng ended during this delay, it would be quite awkward.

Although there was this drawback, Su Li could not give up these 100,000 people and the massive resources of Julu City.

He still had to return to Baiyun Town first.

He could only hope that the battle of Yecheng would not end very quickly.

After settling the ownership of these 100,000 Yellow Turban personnel and the resources of Julu City with Ju Shou, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Pan Feng, and Changshan Prefect Deng Song had no objections.

After all, the troops they brought were almost wiped out; even if they had objections to the distribution of resources, what could they do?

Do it themselves and carry some away?

Even if Su Li didn't mind, they couldn't carry much.

Subsequently.

Ju Shou, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Pan Feng, and Changshan Prefect Deng Song continued to find a place to rest and recover their physical strength.

Su Li took Zhao Yu and the Blood Cavalry to start counting the things in the warehouse and packing them into carts.

They didn't know until they counted, and they were shocked when they did.

Basic resources like food, wood, stone, and iron blocks amounted to millions of units.

And there were hundreds of thousands of weapons and pieces of armor.

Even gold coins amounted to a million.

Such a huge sum of resources, let alone upgrading Baiyun Town to a small city, even supporting Baiyun City to upgrade to a large city would be no problem!

It was simply a huge windfall!

Su Li happily packed these resources into carts.

Then he let the 100,000 Yellow Turban personnel be responsible for escorting them.

He took Zhao Yu and the 2,000 Blood Cavalry to be responsible for guarding this group of people.

Subsequently.

The large army began to return to Baiyun Town in a mighty manner.

On the way back, Su Li first went to the camp where the Han army had previously been stationed to see if Zhou Cang had run away.

But he was surprised to find that Zhou Cang had woken up, but had not run away, and was quietly tied up in the tent with ropes.

Su Li thought Zhou Cang had realized his mistake and felt that joining the Yellow Turbans was a wrong choice, and now that he was caught, he was just going with the flow and didn't intend to run away.

Who would have thought that as soon as Su Li approached Zhou Cang, he heard Zhou Cang muttering in a daze: "Hungry... so hungry, you Han army soldiers want to starve me, Zhou, to death, right?"

"You are truly not human, even more black-hearted than us Yellow Turbans."

Su Li then realized something.

It turned out that they hadn't given Zhou Cang any food, and this guy was already so hungry that he didn't have the strength to run away, and even the voice of him cursing was weak.

He estimated that if he hadn't come back to check, this guy would have been starved to death.

Of course!

This couldn't be blamed on him for abusing prisoners.

It was just that Zhou Cang hadn't woken up, and there was no opportunity to give him food.

"Sister Xiao Yu..."

Su Li immediately called Zhao Yu over and ordered something in her ear.

"Understood, Big Brother."

Zhao Yu nodded upon hearing this and left the tent.

Not long after, Zhao Yu returned.

In her hand, she was holding a fragrant roasted wild rabbit.

"So fragrant... so fragrant! It’s the smell of roasted meat!"

Zhou Cang’s nose was quite sharp; as soon as Zhao Yu brought the roasted meat over, he immediately woke up from his dazed state and stared straight at the roasted meat in Zhao Yu’s hand.

Saliva even flowed from his mouth.

Seeing this, Su Li immediately took the roasted meat from Zhao Yu’s hand, walked slowly to Zhou Cang, handed the roasted meat over, and said: "Brother Zhou, now that Zhang Bao has been defeated and Julu City has been captured by us, there is no one who can save you."

"Why not take this opportunity to defect to my Baiyun Town and work for me."

"In the future, I won't say you will rise to the top."

"Just say this roasted meat, I will give you enough, eat meat and drink wine with us in big bowls, wouldn't that be beautiful?"

"But if you don't surrender, this roasted meat..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Cang with a dark face: "How could I, Zhou, be a person who changes masters easily? It is impossible to surrender, I will never surrender in this life!"

"And just because of some roasted meat, you want me, Zhou, to surrender? Dream on!"
