The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 18 Give You a Chance to Live
The place agreed upon by the two parties was a place about three miles outside the cottage.

This place is one of the few flat places in the mountains, and the surrounding area can be seen at a glance, which can effectively prevent any party from cheating and ambush. It is a natural and excellent place for negotiation.

When Lin Chao brought Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Lin Xi here as agreed, he found that the opposite party had only brought less than ten people, so he couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that the other party was keeping his word.

Liu Shi frowned when he saw that the leader was a frail scholar in his twenties.

Because in his imagination, the general in charge of the imperial court must be a strong and strong man, not to mention able to defeat a hundred with one. How could he have imagined that he would be a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken.

Before Liu Shi entered the mountain, he was just a hunter in Changshan, and he didn't know a single character. Later, because of his high martial arts skills, he was elected by the crowd as the chief commander.

"I have seen the great commander."

Lin Chao didn't put on any airs, and even took the lead in bowing to Liu Shi.

Even though Liu Shi didn't know etiquette, he stood up and greeted Lin Chao with clasped fists.

"May I ask who you are, why did you ask Liu out?"

Since it was a negotiation, he definitely couldn't show his timidity first. Even if the village had run out of food and was about to starve to death, he couldn't reveal his true situation to Lin Chao. Liu Shi understood this truth.

As everyone knows, Lin Chao had already found out the real situation of the cottage yesterday from the mouth of Heishan Huangjin, who delivered the letter.

Especially when he knew that there was already a change in the cottage, Lin Chao even wanted to call God help me.

"In the Xialin Dynasty, Zichu, as for why Joda came out, I have written clearly in the letter."

Liu Shi sneered, and didn't intend to continue flirting with Lin Chao, and said, "Mr. Lin, he is a rough man, and he can't think faster than you scholars, so he doesn't need to beat around the bush, just say what you have to say."

"The Commander is straightforward, so Lin will tell the truth." Lin Chao stared at Liu Shi and the people behind him, "Lin came here to command you and the people in the village behind you, Surrender all."

Lin Chao's tone was flat, without a trace of waves, but with incomparable confidence.

"Mr. Lin's remarks are too ridiculous. What do you use to make someone surrender?"

Hearing this, Liu Shi laughed disdainfully.

A scholar is a scholar, if you just open your mouth and we will surrender obediently, then why did I bring my brothers up the mountain in the first place!
Facing the ridicule, Lin Chao remained calm and just shook his head.

"The condition Lin has already stated in the letter. After surrendering, Lin will guarantee that the commander and everyone in the village will have food and survive. Or is it that the commander is greedy for power and position, and he does not want to let his brothers eat enough? Dress warmly?"

"You fart!"

Hearing that Lin Chao's words seemed to be provocative, Liu Shi was excited: "If you can feed and clothe my brothers, I can give you my life, but why should I trust you? If it weren't for you These dog officials, why did I end up being a thief in the mountains!"

"Of course the commander-in-chief doesn't have to believe me, but it's hard to say how many people your brothers in the village can take down."

"Arrogance!" Liu Shi said angrily, "Lin Zichu, are you threatening someone?"

"No." Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Lin is just expounding a fact. It is impossible to grow in this deep mountain and old forest, so where does the food come from? How much can you rob just by going down the mountain from time to time to loot? If things go on like this, There will be fewer and fewer people in the village.”

"There is not enough food to starve,
Without medicine, sickness and death,

Frozen to death after winter,

There are all kinds of ways to die, but there is no way to live. "

As he said that, Lin Chao stood up, looked down at Liu Shi from a high position, and said coldly: "Lin came here in the name of surrender, but in fact he is giving you a chance."

"A chance to live!"

Liu Shi was silent...

Lin Chao's words hit his vital point.

If he still has two months' worth of food in his hands, no, even if it's 20 days' worth of food, when Lin Chao said these words, his heart wouldn't be disturbed.

It's just that the village has already changed its sons to eat, so it can't be delayed any longer.

After a brief silence, Liu Shi stared at Lin Chao with eyes the size of copper bells, and said word by word: "After the surrender, the brothers of a certain subordinate will work hard for you, right?"

"It's not to work for Lin, but to submit to the imperial court." Lin Chao corrected Liu Shi's statement, "At that time, Lin will select available people from among your brothers to form his own battalion, and the salary will be distributed according to the imperial court system. People who distribute land can also provide for themselves.”

Lin Chao understood that Liu Shi was almost at the end of his life, but he still drew a big cake.

In fact, before coming here, Lin Chao had carefully thought about the possibility of subduing the Black Mountain Yellow Turban. After several deduction, Lin Chao believed that this road was completely feasible.

Cao Cao in history, relying on the heavy snowfall from the sky, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had no food and clothing, he recruited 30 soldiers in one fell swoop.

Compared to Cao Cao's time, Lin Chao's was only a small test.

A person who is about to starve to death has only food in his eyes, and whoever gives food will work for him.

At this time, reason, interests, and concerns are not as important as filling one's stomach.

Guan Zhong once said that one knows etiquette if one is honest, and one knows honor or disgrace if one has enough food and clothing.

So for the people of this era, eating enough is the biggest goal, and talking to them about other things apart from this is just playing hooligans.

But now, Lin Chao not only promised that all Liu Shi's subordinates would have enough to eat, but also promised to enlist them in the army, and everyone would have land, which was tantamount to a gift.

Facing Lin Chao's conditions, although Liu Shi and others were tempted, they still hesitated...

As the Heishan Yellow Turban who sent the letter said before, the reason why they entered the mountain as thieves was because they were forced by corrupt officials.

So when they faced Lin Chao, who was wearing the cloak of a court official, they dared not believe it.

"For such an important matter, the commander-in-chief doesn't need to rush to reply." Lin Chao naturally saw the concerns of Liu Shi and others, and said with a smile, "Lin can give you two days, if the commander-in-chief has not responded after two days , Lin will look for other Black Mountain yellow scarves. With such a generous condition, Lin believes that someone will be tempted."

As he spoke, Lin Chao saluted Liu Shi and said with a smile, "Lin is here to welcome the good news from the Commander!"

Seeing that Lin Chao had no intention of continuing the conversation with him, Liu Shi panicked instead.But he could only clenched his fist at Lin Chao regretfully, expressing that he would think about it carefully, and then took the people away.

Looking at the back of Liu Shi and others leaving, Lin Chao restrained his smile and his eyes became deep.

The things to be said have been said, and the conditions are sincere enough. If Liu Shi is still unwilling to surrender, then Lin Chao can only implement the backup plan.

That is, set fire to the village at night, and then led people to break into the village in one fell swoop, beheaded Liu Shi and other leaders in the chaos, and forcibly incorporated them.

These Montenegrin Yellow Turbans are said to be bandits, but they are actually a group of refugees who can’t get enough to eat, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

As long as the leader is killed with the force of thunder, the rest will naturally be a mess.

As for what Lin Chao said about two days of no reply, he went to look for other Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, this is just a common salesmanship technique in later generations, just listen to it.

If you really believe it, it's not Lin Chao's fault, but the believer's fault.

　Solemnly declare: Thank you so much for your reward, brother!
　　It's just...Old Yu hopes that everyone can collect and vote, so let's forget about rewarding.

　　Earning money is not easy, spend it more valuable.

　　Lao Yu's attitude has always been like this, reading and subscribing is a duty, voting is a favor, and rewarding is not in favor.
