Chapter 813

When Guo Jia said this, Gao Shun, who was standing behind Lu Bu, couldn't help but took a step forward, but he didn't speak.

Lu Bu seemed a little moved, but he had a lot of worries: "If I surrender to the general, will I really be able to be reused?"

"That's natural." Guo Jia gave an example: "The general should know that General Gongsun Zan is the general who led the white horse righteous followers and surrendered. Now he is my lord's honored guest, commanding the white horse cavalry in the headquarters, invincible, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements. Why did the general treat him badly? What's more, does General Lu think that he is no better than Gongsun Zan?"

"Humph!"

Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong does have some combat power, but why am I afraid, Lu Bu? If I fight alone, I can completely defeat him."

Guo Jia said: "That's it. If the general surrenders, he will definitely be reused."

Lu Bu was worried about what would happen after he returned to Yanzhou, and Guo Jia's arrival could be regarded as pointing him to a bright path.Taking the initiative to surrender may sound like a bad reputation, but Xu Ding's strength is there, and the princes are indeed no match for him, and he is also far behind.If you don't surrender, what should you do?

After hesitating for a while, he said: "This matter is of great importance. I can't promise you just like this. Give me a few days, and I will discuss it with the soldiers under my command before making a decision. What do you think?"

"it is good."

Guo Jia agreed.

Give Lu Bu a few days, and also give Xu some time to think about the resettlement of the princes from all walks of life.Because for the surrendered princes, there should be no loss at all, and the attitude of the generals under his command must be considered, which is very complicated.

If one is not careful, it may lead to the dissatisfaction of the generals, or the failure of persuasion to surrender.

Return to Xu Ding Camp.

Guo Jia talked about the process of persuading Lu Bu to surrender.

"It seems that Lu Fengxian is really going to surrender?"

"If there is no accident, it should be like this." Guo Jia smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations to my lord. After a few days, General Lu will think it over, and my lord will be able to recover Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other areas without bloodshed."

"However. Regarding Lu Bu's placement, my lord, have you considered it?"

Xu Ding got up and said, "I've been thinking too. I don't know what Lu Bu wants. An official position? Military power? Or a chance to make meritorious service? No matter what he wants, I can try my best to achieve it, because he made great contributions by surrendering himself. "

Guo Jia said: "General Lu, if he can hear my lord's words, he will surrender immediately."

Celebrate for several days.

Lu Bu discussed with his generals many times, should he go back to Yanzhou?Or should I submit to Xu Ding?

Many generals believed that Xu Ding was too powerful to be an enemy.If you return to the Central Plains, there will be wars.At that time, they will inevitably fail, and not only will they harm their wives and children, but they will also die.

This idea predominates.

But there is another way of thinking, which is Gao Shun.He was only loyal to Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu said to surrender, he surrendered, but he was only a general of Lu Bu, and he did not want to obey the orders of other officials.Lu Bu said he would not surrender, so he fought to the death.

Lu Bu thought for a few days, and finally decided-surrender!
He himself went to the promised tent.

After seeing Xu Ding, he knelt down and saluted: "General."

"Why did General Lu show such a big gift? Get up quickly." Xu Ding was taken aback by Lu Bu's actions.Lu Bu and him are both princes, so there is no reason to kneel down.

But then he realized that Lu Bu lowered his figure, and he was likely to surrender.

"Great general, no, my lord!" Lu Bu said bluntly, "A few days ago, Feng Xiao went to the general to persuade the general to surrender to the lord. After thinking about it for a few days, he also discussed with the generals under his command, and finally decided. And the half of Yanzhou, give it to the lord, and from now on, I am willing to serve the lord."

"Fengxian, what you said is true?" Rao Xu Ding had already guessed, so he couldn't help being excited at this time.

Lu Bu's surrender not only strengthened his strength, but also set an example for other princes.

The so-called general trend, the princes can't stand the pressure, and they will definitely surrender.

"How dare the last general dare to joke in front of the lord?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Ding pulled Lu Bu to sit down, and said: "With you joining, I will have more confidence to unify the mountains and rivers, and return the people of the world to a bright future."

"Ah."

Lu Bu nodded solemnly.

"You are so forthright, I promise you can't be vague. Fengxian, just say what you want, money? Status? Or something else, as long as it is what I promise to have, I will definitely not hesitate." Xu Ding said suddenly.

"The end will not dare."

Lu Bu still knows the rules, the official position and power should be promised, how can he ask for it himself.

"If you dare to say anything, you can just say it." Xu Ding was happy in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it.

Lu Bu hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "If my lord trusts me, I will be willing to lead troops to guard here. By the way, we will wipe out the rest of the Xiongnu and completely solve the border troubles."

"Is it just this?"

"Yes."

Xu Ding thought to himself.Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County and was very familiar with the Huns.His martial arts is also the best in the world, no one can defeat the enemy.Coupled with the army under his command, the Huns were frightened.If there is him guarding the grassland, he will definitely be able to establish miraculous achievements.

This also allowed Xu Ding to completely stabilize the rear.

Xu Ding hardly hesitated, and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you. Not only will you guard here, but I will also send you more troops. Teach the rest of the Huns for me. Besides, I will ask Your Majesty for orders." I will seal you as General Zhenbei and reward you with a thousand pieces of gold..."

Promises give a whole bunch of benefits.

These benefits are much better than Dong Zhuo's flashy rewards before.

It can be seen that Xu Ding really values ​​him.

It was exactly as Chen Gong said.

It is promised that there will be room for people.

It is Mingzhu.

"My lord, how can I take on this responsibility?" Lu Bu said, standing up modestly.

"If you can't even afford it, who else in the world can take it?" Xu Ding patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. You have made great contributions to me, and I will never ungrateful."

"At the end of the day, thank you, my lord."

"Ah."

Lu Bu left happily.

This conversation was even better and smoother than he had imagined.Xu Ding really valued him, not only gave him military power, but also named him General Zhenbei.You must know that this official position is very important.Absolutely hold the real power.

"It depends on the reaction of the princes to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold."

After Lu Bu left, Xu Ding thought about it.Lu Bu's surrender was to affect other princes.But in order to expand its influence, it is necessary to increase the rewards for Lu Bu, so that everyone can rest assured.

After the celebration banquet was over, Lu Bu surrendered to Yuan Xi in front of all the soldiers according to Yuan Xi's request.Yuan Xi also named him General Zhenbei on the spot and rewarded him with a lot of things.

At the same time, he was sent to guard the grassland and continue to fight against the Huns.

This incident immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others.

From their eyes, how could they fail to see that Lu Bu had already taken refuge in Xu Ding, and now he was just acting.

But one thing is certain, Xu Ding is going to attack the princes.Either surrender or perish.

After this matter is over.

Xu Ding gathered all the generals of the princes from all walks of life in the tent.

First toasted everyone with a bottle of wine, and then said: "Since Emperor Huanling, thieves have swarmed the world and yellow scarves have been plundered. There has been no peace for many years. The people of the Central Plains are looking forward to the unification of the world and a peaceful life. I promise not to be talented, and I am willing to take on this burden, what do you guys think?"

General Wenpin of Jingzhou cupped his hands and said: "The general is powerful, and we will be hard-pressed to be an enemy. When I return from this trip, I will definitely convey the words of the general." Wenpin only said so far, and did not dare to express his attitude.

In fact, everyone has concerns.

It's still too early to tell.

In case the princes from all walks of life do not want to surrender and insist on a war, they are eager to express their views, which is a big taboo, and they will inevitably be severely punished.

Xu Ding had expected this situation long ago and did not force him.

He invited everyone to come, not to persuade them to surrender directly, but to test their minds.

It is convenient to persuade the other princes to surrender in the future.

"General Wenpin, I respect you a bottle." Xu Ding picked up the bottle.

"Thank you, General." Wen Pin drank it down in one gulp.

At this time Wei Yan stood up, he was bolder than Wenpin, and said directly: "If the general doesn't dislike it, the general is willing to submit to the general!"

Silence!

Everyone looked at Wei Yan.

Wenpin was even more surprised: "Mr. Wen, you..."

"Although Liu Biao is benevolent and righteous, he has no talent for helping the world, let alone strong strength. The general is mighty and powerful, and he carries a mighty army. Wherever he goes, he will be victorious in every battle. Presumably soon, the land of the Central Plains will be owned by the general." What's wrong with Wei Yan surrendering early?" Wei Yan questioned Wenpin.

In fact, Wenpin also wanted to surrender, but he was only worried about Liu Biao's attitude.

Now that Wei Yan is doing this, it seems that he is hypocritical.

"Haha..." Xu Ding stepped forward with a smile and helped Wei Yan up: "What Wen Chang said makes sense. With your participation, great things can be accomplished."

Xu Ding looked at the rest of the people: "With this banquet today, I might as well make my words clear.
All over the Central Plains, sooner or later, I will unify. If the princes are unwilling to surrender, I will give them a chance to resist.

However, when the two armies are fighting, death is inevitable. This consequence is caused by their unwillingness to surrender, so naturally they have to bear the consequences.I hope that all the generals will go back and remonstrate with your lords, express your views as soon as possible, and end the strife and chaos of the big men as soon as possible. I will not treat them badly. "

"Yes."

The generals present were extremely embarrassed.

They promised to make a promise, and they really felt threatened.

But thinking of Xu Ding's strength, they were helpless.

Perhaps what Wei Yan said is right, Xu Ding is powerful and determined to win the world, and sooner or later he will unify.Rather than being forced to surrender at that time, it is better to surrender now.

Zhou Yu got up and said, "General Xu is holding a banquet today, is he threatening me to wait? Or is he trying to eliminate dissidents in this tent?" Zhou Yu has always been proud, and he had a prejudice against Xu Ding at first, but now he is threatened. Not happy in my heart.

"Not to mention, with my Donglai's current strength, there is no need to threaten at all." Xu Ding has already seen that Zhou Yu seems to be in a bad mood.

The little guy was quite angry.

"Farewell."

Zhou Yu suddenly cupped his hands, turned and left the tent.Sun Ce followed suit.

"Master..." Huang Zhong walked to Xu Ding's side, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Xu Ding shook his head: "As I said just now, today's banquet is just to let the people present go back and bring a message, there is no malicious intention. Zhou Gongjin is unwilling to accept it, and I can't fight with swords and axes. Otherwise, wouldn't I just say nothing Do you believe it?"

"Let him go back." Xu Ding turned around and sat down slowly, and said with a smile, "It's not that I underestimated Wentai, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't stop my Donglai navy now."

These words not only showed Xu Ding's attitude, but also reminded everyone.

Xu Ding didn't take any princes seriously.

The Sun family's navy had just been hit hard, and now they had to deal with Jingzhou, so they were already powerless to hold on.

The banquet is over.

Wei Yan stayed and expressed his attitude again.

Xu Ding said: "You have done me a great favor by surrendering to me in front of all the generals today. Chief Wen, I have promoted you to be the captain of Youzhou County, and you will be under Cheng Yu's command. Wan, what do you think?"

Xu Ding's move is really generous.

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord."

"You go."

"As ordered."

Wei Yan retreated.

He didn't know that Xu Ding was very wary of him.The captain of Youzhou seems to have a lot of authority, but in fact he is under the control of Cheng Yu, and the transfer of the army requires Cheng Yu's orders.

Putting Wei Yan under Cheng Yu's hands is really controlling him.

a few days later.

The soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life are ready to return.

Xu Ding left Lu Bu and let him continue to fight against the remnants of the Huns, and led his army back.

At the same time, Jia Xu and others' letters from the Western Regions were also urgently delivered eight hundred miles away.

He went to the Western Regions with Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and others, with the guidance of the Three Musketeers, it went very smoothly.

It also gained a lot. First, it captured the Front and Front Cheshi Kingdoms, cut off the Huns' retreat, and beheaded the Xiongnu Shanyu Juqulielie who fled to the Western Regions.

Other Xiongnu troops in the Western Regions were also ambushed by him and suffered a lot of losses.

"Ju Qu Lie Lie did not escape death after all. For us, it is a perfect ending." Guo Jia followed Xu Ding.

"The Xiongnu attacked fiercely at the beginning, but they were defeated in such a short period of time. Apart from the stupid Ju Qu Lie Lie helping us, I'm afraid there is also God's will in it." Xu Ding said.

"My lord is right, the word "God's will" is the most appropriate word."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Ding suddenly remembered, "Where are those Xianbei soldiers who surrendered now?"

"The subordinates have already ordered General Gongsun to send them to Youzhou and hand them over to Cheng Yu. According to the previous policy on captives, they may serve in the military and build official roads and the Great Wall..."

"So good."

Xu Ding didn't ask much about the captives.Xianbei had already perished, and Cheng Yu could handle the surrendering of troops.His current thoughts have already flown to the Central Plains and the princes from all walks of life.

In order to unify the world, or to persuade surrender, or to resume the war, all will be realized in the next period of time.

The army returned to Youzhou.

From Youzhou to Jizhou, cross the Yellow River east.

When he arrived in Donglai, Qingzhou, he was separated from the princes from all walks of life.

night.

in the tent.

Guo Jiajin said: "Nowadays, the general situation in the world has all belonged to the lord. Only some princes are still hesitating. They don't know whether it is better to submit to the lord or fight. At this time, the lord should give them some pressure. "

"Feng Xiao, what are you referring to?"
