The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 What Do The Two Generals Think?

Deng Zhan led Zang Ba and Sun Guan around the city.

The two of them had never really come into contact with Yuan Xu, and wherever they went, soldiers and civilians praised him.

Especially those who had contracted the plague in the disaster and were rescued, they all burst into tears when they mentioned Yuan Xu.

Back in the city, Deng Zhan arranged accommodation for Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

The two returned to the house, and Zang Ba asked Sun Guan: "What does General Sun think?"

"What?" Sun Guan asked back.

"I'm asking General Sun, what do you think of Yuan Xianxin?" Zang Ba asked, "Did I misunderstand him too deeply in the past?"

"I don't know what General Zang thinks." Sun Guan replied, "I was born in the Yellow Turban, and the reason why I rebelled back then was because I couldn't fill my stomach. What Yuan Xianxin said seems to be true. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Seeing that, and looking back at the past, how many people under our rule are still hungry?"

Zang Ba nodded: "What is General Sun's plan?"

"What plans can I have?" Sun Guan said, "Mr. Cao treats us well..."

"It's just leaving us in Qingzhou to fend for ourselves." Zang Ba said: "In the past few years, haven't we been self-sufficient, and we haven't even been allocated food, grass and military equipment?"

"General Zang means..." Sun Guan heard something from his words.

Zang Ba replied: "At the beginning, we had no choice but to follow Cao Mengde. Now that we are in Yuan Xianxin's hands, we will know who is more lenient."

"Yuan Xianxin just asked Deng Zhan to take us around." Sun Guan asked, "General Zang, are you sure he is generous?"

"We scolded him more than once, can he be serious?" Zang Ba said: "If it were Cao Mengde, I'm afraid that both of us would have already been killed."

Sun Guan nodded: "This is true..."

"The soldiers were also recruited by him." Zang Ba said the main point: "Most of the soldiers under our command are from the Yellow Turban family. Cao Mengde thinks that their banditry is hard to get rid of, and refuses to reuse them. After all these years, it was only when Xuzhou was conquered. Tao Qian, once made some achievements. When was it reused later on?"

"These are also true facts." Sun Guan replied: "On the other hand, Yuan Xianxin, the soldiers fought with him. Not only did he not kill him, but he recruited the army. It is said that the army in Hebei has good food. I am afraid that in a few days, we Summon the soldiers, but not many people will come around."

"I completely understand what Yuan Xianxin said." Zang Ba nodded.

"What's the general's plan?" Sun Guan asked him again.

"General Sun has plans, why ask me?" Zang Ba didn't answer, but pushed the question back to Sun Guan.

Sun Guan said: "I do have plans, but I don't know what General Zang thinks, so I can't speak up."

Before Zang Ba could speak, Yuan Xu's voice came from outside the room: "If the two generals are willing to vote for me, of course it would be great."

The door opened, and Yuan Xu appeared at the door with Tian Feng.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were stunned for a moment, then saluted him together.

Yuan Xu raised his hand: "The two generals don't need to be polite."

He asked the two of them, "Have you seen it in and out of the city?"

Zang Ba replied: "Look."

"How do you feel?" Yuan Xu asked with a smile, "As a monster, am I stronger than those honest gentlemen in governing the country?"

"Since the Yellow Turban chaos, General Zang and I have experienced many things." Sun Guan replied: "I have seen countless heroes, but I have never met someone who is so popular with the army and the people like the young master."

"The heroes are all looking for benefits for themselves." Yuan Xu said: "Don't talk about others, just talk about my uncle. Back then, just because he got a jade seal passed on to the country, he built a large-scale construction project in Huainan, built a palace and declared himself emperor. If he didn't These things will not be discussed by the world. Besides, Cao Cao, who coerced the emperor to order the princes, is not for his own benefit. After many years of troubled times, how many people really think about the common people?"

"My son is concerned about the country and the people, which is really admirable." Zang Ba and Sun Guan made a big gift together.

Yuan Xu smiled and shook his head: "Why don't I have selfish intentions? If I had no selfish intentions, I wouldn't take over Hebei, and I wouldn't conquer the world and make enemies of heroes from all walks of life."

"But under the prince's rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers have less suffering from conquest." Sun Guan said: "This is not something that ordinary heroes can do."

"Others can't do it because they don't have my ability." Yuan Xu said bluntly: "I can drive the dead and do a lot of things that other people can't do. With these advantages, why don't I bring more blessings to the common people? shade?"

He then said to the two of them: "The two generals don't have to worry about the soldiers under their command. I have ordered them to be disrupted and assigned to various armies. From now on, they will eat and live with the Yuan family's soldiers and will never be crowned In the name of Qingzhou Army."

When Cao Cao conquered Mount Tai, 30 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans came into effect.

Excluding the old and weak, women and children, tens of thousands of soldiers can be used, which are led by Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

I thought it would be incorporated by Cao Cao, but I didn't expect to have another name of Qingzhou Army.

Since then, the Qingzhou Army has obeyed Cao Cao's order, but has never received sufficient food and ordnance supplies. Many soldiers have to plunder the people to maintain their livelihoods.

For the Qingzhou Army, this title is not an honor, but a shame for them.

Yuan Xu recruited the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, and Zang Ba and Sun Guan were deeply moved.

The two of them still didn't know what to say, Yuan Xu went on to say: "The ordnance and armor of the soldiers are old, and I will send out new ones. The two generals can rest assured."

"My lord is benevolent and righteous, the soldiers of Qingzhou will definitely go forward and succeed in the future." Zang Ba replied.

"I already know what the generals think." Yuan Xu said, "I came here to ask the two generals what they think."

"Just now, General Sun and I were still discussing this matter." Zang Ba replied: "Although we didn't say it explicitly, we both understand what we are thinking."

Sun Guan added the second half of the sentence for him: "General Zang and I are willing to serve you as your son!"

"It's good that the two generals are willing to vote!" Yuan Xu laughed loudly, and stepped forward to pat the two of them on the shoulders: "I will send troops to Huainan in a short time. The two of you will still need to accompany me at that time."

"The two of us would like to ruin your life for your son." Zang Ba and Sun Guan responded in unison.

Instructing the guards to take good care of the two of them, Yuan Xu led Tian Feng away.

Tian Feng asked Yuan Xu: "How do you know that the two of you are willing to vote?"

"Isn't that simple?" Yuan Xu replied: "The Qingzhou Army has never been treated by Cao Cao, and the supplies have not been distributed for many years. The two of them are grateful, but they already have deep resentment in their hearts. I first recruited the soldiers under their command, and then Come talk to them again. Knowing that I treat them sincerely, what reason do they have for not voting?"

"My lord is very thoughtful, but I didn't think so much." Tian Feng agreed first, and then asked Yuan Xu: "Xu Chu is still in prison, you want to see me, too?"

"No need." Yuan Xu said, "Xu Chu is different from the two of them. He has to let it air out before he can be persuaded."
