Chapter 152 Recruiting and Surrendering to the Party
"My lord, Jia is so incompetent that he didn't see through Zhang Yan's plan to escape. Please punish me." Seeing Zhang Yan escape, Guo Jia didn't look good. He slowly came to Liu He and apologized. .

Liu He gently took Guo Jia's hand, and then said with a faint smile, "How can Feng Xiao be blamed for this? It's all because Zhang Yan is too cunning. In fact, Feng Xiao has really done it perfectly this time. The officers and men of the army formed a tight circle, and they also deployed ambushes on the surrounding high places. Unfortunately, it is now in the dark night, so it is convenient for Zhang Yan to exchange equipment with the officers and men under his command. In addition, we all focused on Zhang Yan's armor and mount were on him, which made him escape, but so what? We occupied Shangdang, and Taiyuan is only one step away. Now that Zhang Yan has escaped, the next step will be to order his subordinates and allies Coming to reinforce Taiyuan, this will instead create opportunities for Wei Yan and Xu Huang to capture Xihe and Shangjun. As long as we go to Xihe and Shangjun together, we can join forces with Xu Huang to attack Taiyuan together. Of course, during this period, we will not I'm idle, I'm going to go to Yuan Shao after taking down Shangdang, and form an alliance with him to conquer Zhang Yan's Taiyuan together."

"Despite this, Jia still feels guilty in his heart, because if Zhang Yan is captured, we don't have to go to such trouble at all. We only need to use Zhang Yan to command millions of Montenegrin troops to submit directly..." A trace of confusion flashed across Guo Jia's face. Feeling ashamed, he shook his head and sighed.

Liu He comforted him with a smile: "Fengxiao, you are also calculating based on the best expectations, but how can things be so easy? Even if Zhang Yan is captured by us and surrenders to us, not all the millions of Montenegrin troops will be able to do it." Those who surrendered to us nominally obeyed Zhang Yan's orders, but this was done without violating their interests, and they were all powerful men from one of the separatist countries. How could they completely obey Zhang Yan? There were many internal forces fighting for power. What's more, if we annex the Black Mountain Army alone, Yuan Shao will probably regard us as a huge threat and immediately go to war with us, even if he unites with Gongsun Zan, it is not impossible. And as long as Yuan Shao goes to war with us, There will definitely be other forces, such as Cao Cao and Ma Teng, who will take the opportunity to deal with us. When that time comes, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Now we join forces with Yuan Shao to destroy the Black Mountain Army first, then Gongsun Zan, and control Youzhou. , Bingzhou and Guanzhong, and then we can go to war with Yuan Shao without any scruples."

"Hey, my lord is trying to comfort me, so why doesn't Jia know? But Jia also knows that something has already happened, and it's useless to sigh again. Jia will definitely learn from it and never let such a thing happen again. My lord "Although Zhang Yan has escaped now, we were able to take the opportunity to capture his generals alive and take good care of them. They are all his confidants. Even if we can't use this to coerce him to surrender to us in the future, it will still make him worry a lot. In the future when we conquer Taiyuan and capture Zhang Yan alive again, if his confidants are well taken care of, the chances of surrendering to us will be much higher. In addition, after we capture these soldiers, we can wear their armor and fight Their banner opened the gates of Shangdang City and occupied Shangdang City. As long as we can gain a firm foothold in Shangdang, we will have a basis for advancing and retreating in the future. It’s like being able to connect all the forces together.”

"Haha, the idea of ​​Fengxiao is really wonderful. I also have this intention. In this case, we will immediately take action to capture Zhang Yan's generals, recruit his soldiers, and falsely open the gate of Shangdang City."

After listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Liu He felt very happy, and immediately decided to do what Guo Jia said.

With the combat power possessed by Liu He's army, it would be easy to capture Zhang Yan's generals alive. Although Zhang Yan's generals risked their lives to keep Zhang Yan from retreating, if they had a chance to survive, they would not would refuse, so when the other party captured them, they all knew what was going on and did not resist. They were taken off their armor and tied up with ropes.

Since these generals chose to be captured, those soldiers naturally did not choose to resist, and obediently became the captives of Liu and the army.

Liu He ordered the captives to take off their armor and put them on ropes, and then ordered some soldiers to take them back to his camp, and then ordered the remaining soldiers to put on the armor of Zhang Yan's army. When the army came to Shangdang City, they opened the city gate with just a few words.

When Liu He's army entered the city, the defenders realized that it was not their people who came, but the city is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they be the opponents of Liu He's elite soldiers?Seeing Liu He's army descending from the sky, they panicked and chose to surrender immediately without even resisting.

"My lord, these two are generals in the city. They saw my lord leading his people into the city and tried to resist. They were captured alive by the generals and pushed them over. Please tell me how to deal with them." Chen Dao ordered people to treat Sun Qing and Wang as Pushing it into Liu He's tent, he said with a smile.

Before Liu He could speak, he saw Pan Feng on the side stepping forward and said: "My lord, please let the general report in detail. These two are Sun Qing and Wang Dang, the close friends of the general in the past. They are very loyal. My lord spared the lives of the two of them, and in the end I am willing to persuade them to surrender."

"Brother Pan!"

"Old Black Brother!"

Seeing that it was their former friend Pan Laohei who interceded for them, Sun Qing and Wang Dang couldn't help being surprised, and asked in unison: "You actually surrendered to the army too?"

"That's right, two brothers, you don't know that the officers and soldiers here are different from other officers and soldiers. There has never been any bullying by officials in the army, and the soldiers have never dared to conceal their meritorious deeds. Their treatment can make people envious, and the officers and soldiers here have strict discipline, and they will never commit any crimes against the common people. There used to be an iron law in the army, that is, do not demolish houses to death from freezing, and do not plunder to death from starvation. When I joined the army, I have never seen anyone touch this rule. Therefore, this is a true army of benevolence and righteousness. Surrendering to such an army will not only realize our original dream of eradicating violence and bringing peace to the world, but also building Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a wife and son in the future after some achievements?"

Pan Feng was originally an old man, but now he has been following Liu He and listening to Liu He dropping his bookbags, and he even speaks in a somewhat polite manner.

However, Sun Qing and Wang Dang were very envious. They looked at each other, then immediately knelt down beside Liu He, and said loudly: "The last general didn't know that your army was so benevolent and righteous, and it was so offensive. Please blame me , if you don’t mind the previous suspicions, the general is willing to use this broken body for your encouragement, so that you can go through fire and water for him, and he will do whatever he wants!”
