The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 23 Persuade to surrender
The sudden sound of "Peng Tuo is dead, surrender and not kill" from the battlefield stunned the panicked Yellow Turban Army. Looking around, they saw a young man in silver armor on a white horse running forward with Peng Tuo's body on his spear. .

"I surrender, stop fighting, woo woo woo... I surrender, the general spares my life, the general spares my life!"

When someone takes the lead, there will be a second, and a third, followed by a large number of Yellow Turbans kneeling and begging for surrender.

"Zhang Fei and Liu Ji, order your two troops to continue chasing and annihilating the remnants of the enemy. Those who abandon their weapons will live, and those who resist will die." Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army began to beg Huo Yu, he opened his mouth and ordered.

"The last general takes the order" After the two men answered in unison, they led their cavalry around the surrendered Yellow Turban Army and chased them into the distance.

"Dian Wei, order your department to take the prisoners, and at the same time send people into the city to report to the foster father and Master Luo to quickly send people to prepare food and clean the battlefield."

"No." Dian Wei bowed and saluted.

At the head of Chen County, the Han army cheered happily, and everyone shouted "Han army is mighty", and after going through the test of life and death, the surviving village braves wept with joy.Liu Chong and Luo Jun were standing side by side, talking and laughing, when suddenly they heard a report from the soldiers: "Report, Huo Du asked to send troops to clean up the battlefield immediately and arrange meals for the prisoners."

"Hahaha, this child Yu'er thinks far ahead than you and me."

"Your Highness said, Jun, take your leave first and go down to prepare."

It is a troublesome thing to take prisoners. In addition, Huo Yu's soldiers were few. He came and went again and again, and he barely sent more than 3 soldiers to the newly built camp in the west of the city until dark. Without Luo Jun's help, Huo Yu estimated that Everyone is sleeping rough tonight.Huo Yu, who had been exhausted all day, had just entered the tent and was preparing to eat. The guards came to report that Zhang Fei and Liu Ji had escorted more than 4000 prisoners back to the camp and asked to see them outside the tent.

"See my lord (Young Master)." Zhang Fei and Liu Ji saluted after receiving the money.

"You two have worked hard!" Huo Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help them up and said.

"Come and have a meal together, let's talk when we are full."

Zhang Fei is a carefree person, he will eat the horse meat without saying a word, unlike Liu Ji who is hesitant.Huo Yu looked up at Liu Ji and said again: "Liu Ji, aren't you hungry? This is a private tent. I don't have so many rules here. Brother Yide will eat up all his meals when he is late. His appetite is beyond me. But it's the clearest." Before Liu Ji could reply, Huo Yu said to the outsider: "Come here, I'm preparing a double dinner."

Seeing that the young master said this, Liu Ji no longer politely stepped forward to pick up a piece of meat and ate it with big mouthfuls.Although there was no wine in this meal, Liu Ji felt that it was the most delicious meal. Not only did his son eat vegetables in the same bowl as him, but he also talked and laughed. In Liu Ji's opinion, this was incredible, but In Huo Yu's opinion, this is nothing more than normal.After the meal, the two briefly reported the results of the battle, and Huo Yu asked them to go back to rest.

Huo Yu sent Zhang Fei and Liu Ji away and walked out of the big tent, patrolling around the big camp. Luo Jun's efficiency is really incredible. The meals for 4 people have already been prepared, and all the prisoners are at the moment. Gobbled it up, although it was just corn porridge, it was undoubtedly a delicacy in the world for them who hadn't had a good meal for a long time.

Back in the big tent, Huo Yu asked Dian Wei to go to the prison in Chen County to bring Liu Pi and Gong Du. Although the two were not very capable, for Huo Yu, if he could recruit them, he would be able to recruit the Yellow Turban Army in the future. It is much simpler.

"My lord, Liu Pi and Gong have brought them here."

Huo Yu, who was in deep thought, turned around and saw Dian Wei leading Liu Pi and Gong Du, and said: "Untie the two righteous men first."

"promise".

Since they were captured that day, the two have been imprisoned in the Chen County Prison. Huo Yu ordered that they were not allowed to make things difficult for the two. Instead, they entertained them with delicious food and drinks. As the Yellow Turban Army, it is naturally impossible to have any good influence on the officers and soldiers, and they just bear it all the time and don't speak.

"To make a long story short, I would like to introduce Huo Yu, the captain of Chen Guodu. King Chen is my adoptive father. Now that Peng Tuo is dead, are you two willing to surrender?" Huo Yu said to the two of them directly.

"Bah! The dog official of the imperial court!" Gong Du couldn't help spitting at Huo Yu, and cursed bitterly, but Liu Pi who was on the side was worried that he would annoy Huo Yu.

Huo Yu still smiled and said: "You said that I am a dog official of the imperial court, that's right, I admit it! Why are you not pawns who rely on Zhang Jiao's hand? Today you and I are the masters of each other."

Before the two could answer, Huo Yu continued: "Although I did not agree with the so-called peaceful way of your Yellow Turban Army from the very beginning! But I also have to admit that, as you said, the current imperial court is no longer worthy of ruling the people of the world! It's a pity that you took the time to start the incident too hastily, otherwise you might be able to succeed!" If these words were put in the court, they were treasonous words, and if they were made public, they would be arrested and beheaded immediately.Both Liu Pi and Gong had heard it before in the Yellow Turban Army, but now they didn't expect to hear such words from an officer and general, and they were very surprised.

"Does Huo Du want to be like us? Just for what you said just now, you are definitely not a person who is loyal to the court." Liu Pi replied

"Didn't you hear me clearly just now? From the very beginning, I didn't agree with your Yellow Turban Army's way of peace. I have also seen great virtuous teachers. They are proficient in medical skills, but they are even more powerful in deceiving people." Huo Yu shook his head and smiled. speak.

This answer did not surprise the two of them. As I said before, each is his own master, and there is no such thing as who is right and who is wrong when it comes to winning or losing.

"Do you know why the Yellow Turban Army had the upper hand in the early days of the uprising? That is because the imperial court's troops in various states and counties were slack, and now the imperial court appointed the commander of the northern line, Lu Zhi, the commander of the northern line, and the commander of the southern line, General Zuo Zhonglang." Huangfusong and Youzhonglang general Zhu Jun, do you think that the mob of the Yellow Turban Army can withstand the imperial army? Your great virtuous teacher will retreat to Guangzong soon. The centipede is dead but not stiff, thin You should understand that a dead camel is bigger than a horse!"

Although both of them are villagers in the mountains, the names of Huangfusong and Lu Zhi have also been heard.Among the Yellow Turban Army, apart from Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai who have some abilities, the rest are not worth mentioning at all, and Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai are far behind the famous Lu Zhi and Huangfu Songshu.Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled wryly. They never thought that they had planned for such a long time to start an incident, but in the end it was just a waste of time.Huo Yu has been observing the subtle changes of these two people. Seeing that they are a little loose at this moment, he is also relieved. What he said just now is suspected of intimidation, and his purpose is to impress these two people for his own use.

When Huo Yu said this, Liu Pi looked at Gong Du, and Gong Du returned a "helpless" expression. Seeing this, Huo Yu took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "I know you won't believe me now, if If I want to prove anything, I can’t provide any evidence. Let’s do this. According to the court’s laws, rebellion is a capital offense. I can guarantee that the more than 4 captives will live safely as long as they stay in Chen Guo and keep themselves safe. As for the court Bian has his adoptive father and Master Luo to go to the activities. Well, you two should think about it carefully, stay in this big camp for a few days, and use your prestige to restrain the prisoners by the way. I don't want to kill more people. If anyone dares to Make trouble, don't worry about my ruthlessness under the knife."
