Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 437 put a long line to catch big fish
The two stared at Feng Yao, seeming to have something to ask, hesitating.

Feng Yao thought to himself: "Zhao Yun and Xia Houbo have joined not long ago, and Liu Qubei has just joined. Since you have doubts about me, why don't you ask them, so that you can understand their thoughts and use people better in the future! Zhao Yun, Xia Hou There is no need to doubt that Bo is loyal to the Han people, but Liu Qubei, after all, is half of the Xiongnu blood, and he wants me to help him ascend to the Shanyu position. How is it different from Zhao Yun and Xia Houbo..."

Looking at it, Xia Houbo was still holding Mi Zhu's bloody head in his hand, looking a bit miserable, the deck of the ship was full of blood and corpses.

There was a stench in the night wind, but everyone had already gotten used to it.

Feng Yao looked at the ship he was in. It was a warship with a length of more than three feet, which could accommodate two soldiers and sailors. It was larger than those civilian ships that were only one or two feet long. It's more than doubled, but it's much smaller than Mi Zhu's nearly five-foot-tall flagship!
On the flagship, in addition to Mi Zhu's headless corpse, there were some who surrendered in time and survived Mi Zhu's navy.

"Let's go, let's go to the flagship!" Feng Yao couldn't help but feel moved when he touched those surrendered soldiers with sad eyes, and said to the three generals Zhao Yun, Xia Houbo, and Liu Qubei.

After jumping onto the flagship, all the followers wanted to drive away the enemy troops on the flagship, but Feng Yao stopped him immediately, put Mi Zhu's head and his body together, and ordered someone to tear off the original Mi Zhu's flag and cover it on his body.

Seeing Feng Yao do this, the eyes of those surrendered soldiers showed gratitude, and the way they looked at Feng Yao was very different. Although they still didn't know what the ending would be, at least Feng Yao gave them a sense of confidence. The feeling of being respected and valued!

Feng Yao had been secretly observing everyone's reactions. Seeing the shocking expressions of these descendants, he was already a little happy in his heart, and secretly said: "At present, the initial effect of buying people's hearts has been achieved! As long as this matter passes through the cooperation of these Mi Zhu's personal soldiers, If word of mouth spreads, those soldiers who have surrendered will definitely be more willing to serve me! But this is not enough, if I use another trick of trying to get you, and at the same time add generous treatment! Unless you are a diehard loyalist of Mi Zhu, you will definitely be loyal Serve me!"

"Soldiers!" Feng Yao looked dignified, and glanced at the soldiers, "You must have heard about my rumors, and some of you may have heard of them during the Battle of Xuzhou. Here I repeat it again!"

Seeing Feng Yao being so polite, all the soldiers were flattered. When they heard Feng Yao was going to announce the decision on how to deal with them, they immediately held their breath, widened their eyes, and stared at Feng Yao intently. Their eyes were full of worry and fear. , but full of hope for survival.

The surrendered soldiers on the flagship were all Mi Zhu's most trusted personal soldiers. Under normal circumstances, even if they surrendered, most of the surrendered soldiers with this status would be beheaded.

Feng Yao took a deep breath and announced loudly: "Anyone who has already surrendered has two choices. They can become my soldiers and continue to fight in all directions, or they can disarm and return to the fields and get a farm house on our territory. , enjoy the same treatment as ordinary civilians!"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard the words, many of them looked surprised, nodded and exchanged glances at each other, then more than half of them raised their arms and shouted: "I am willing to follow the general and become a soldier under the general's command! Serve the general!"

Feng Yao nodded and ordered: "Those who are willing to serve me, please immediately line up to the camp on the shore and accept the arrangement!"

"Both of you, lead them over and hand them over to General Wang Cheng to restore their orders!" Feng Yao then called two of his entourage to confess.

"Obey, my lord!" The two relatives immediately held weapons and escorted dozens of surrendered soldiers who were willing to surrender away from the flagship.

Seeing this, there were more than a dozen surrendered soldiers, and their eyes were even more expectant, but among them, three surrendered soldiers kept their heads down and remained silent, as if they had something on their minds!
Seeing this, Feng Yao's heart moved, he still called two more followers, and said to the surrendered soldiers: "Those who are willing to disarm and return to the fields, please follow them, gather at the shore, and finally arrive at Xingyang City, and General Zhao Wang will arrange for it."

Immediately, Yu Shengbing was overjoyed and left excitedly, but the three descending soldiers with their heads down hesitated for a moment, stayed and did not want to go forward!
Seeing this, the relatives around showed fierce murderous aura, pointed at the three of them with knives and guns, and shouted angrily: "Don't you dare to violate the order of my lord, are you not afraid of death!"

The three of them were frightened and knelt down to beg.

"Wait a minute!" Feng Yao stretched out his hand to stop him, and made all his followers to step back, and asked, "Why are you and the other three like this?"

"It's not because I don't want to! It's just because we have relatives who are still in Liu Bei's army. If we learn that we have surrendered, our relatives will be murdered by Liu Bei!" one of them said.

Feng Yao nodded, he already understood, but if he wanted to let these three people go now, let them return to Hanoi, or return to Liu Bei's army, this is obviously impossible, not killing them is the best Feng Yao can give. Merciful!This still depends on the situation of being Han Chinese, and it will be useful to foreigners in the future!

"In that case, I can only lock you up as prisoners!" Feng Yaohan said with a straight face.

"Thank you, General, for not killing me!" The three surrendered soldiers were overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed.

Feng Yao ordered people to tie up the three of them, ordered his relatives to escort them away, and handed them over to Wang Cheng.

After dealing with the surrendered troops on the flagship, Feng Yao ordered the commander's flag to be raised, and cheers were heard on the battlefield.

At this time, Feng Yao showed a slight smile, patted Zhao Yun, Xia Houbo, and Liu Qubei on the backs, and said, "Follow me to the cabin!"

The three generals clasped their fists in response, and all the relatives stayed outside and began to clean up the corpses and blood on the boat.

The slaves and servants of the coolies who remained in the boat were also taken away one by one, and they were all replaced by Feng Yao's men.

After confirming that it was completely safe, Feng Yao then ordered the three generals to sit down.

"I think you all have doubts, let's talk about it!" Feng Yao said.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houbo met their eyes, and they had the same meaning. Zhao Yun asked, "My lord, when my subordinates and Zihu were in Changshan, all the heads of famous bandits who were beheaded were inserted into the wooden pillars. I stood near the entrance of the village to deter the bandits. Even if bandits came to Changshan to plunder, they didn’t dare to attack, and they all took a detour! Now that Liu Bei is still alive, why does the Lord want to bury the enemy general with ceremonies? Corpse?"

Zhao Yun asked, Feng Yao nodded, did not answer immediately, looked at Liu Qubei again, and asked, "Qubei, what questions do you have?"

Liu Qubei immediately clasped his fists, with a respectful expression, and said: "My lord, if we were in the Southern Huns, our clan would honor the Lord by killing the enemy, and after the victory, we would even hang the head of the enemy general outside the gate, even if it is dried into a skeleton It will be easily taken off! Even the enemy master grinds the bones from the top of the skull into beads and strings them together as ornaments! But the master did the opposite, could it be that there is another deep meaning?"

Feng Yao nodded, with far-reaching eyes, and smiled: "Zilong, Zihu, go humble, I really have deep meaning in doing this! This is not just simply wanting to buy the current soldiers, more importantly, I want to Instigate rebellion against Liu Bei's army!!"
