Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 185 Zhang Yan Returns
"What? Are you willing to surrender?" Although he believed that he might be able to persuade Zhang Yan to surrender, Liu He never thought that Zhang Yan would agree to surrender so quickly, and surrendered voluntarily. Liu He was naturally pleasantly surprised.

In fact, Liu He didn't know at all that Zhang Yan was originally a man of love and righteousness, but after becoming a master, he lost himself and began to become corrupt. It is true that he is desperate now. Although he still has tens of thousands of troops, these tens of thousands of troops are not the opponents of Liu He and the high-ranking coalition forces at all, and they will inevitably be defeated in the end. Instead of this, it is better to choose to surrender now. The surrender of these tens of thousands of troops to Liu He will still gain a certain amount of attention. If they surrender after these tens of thousands of troops are exhausted, even if Liu He reluctantly accepts the surrender, he probably won't treat him well.

"Yes, but I have a condition here. I need to make you agree. If you agree, then I will surrender without saying a word. If you don't agree, I will reluctantly surrender under the pressure of the situation. , but it is only to guarantee that I will surrender myself."

What Zhang Yan said was very obvious. This was a threat to Liu He. If he agreed to his conditions, then he would lead the army to surrender together. If he did not agree, then only Zhang Yan would surrender.

The gap is not insignificant. Of course, Liu He will attach great importance to it, and said seriously: "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it, but if the conditions are too excessive, I can't do anything about it."

Liu He's words were so cautious, which reassured Zhang Yan. If he did everything, Zhang Yan would doubt his sincerity, so Zhang Yan nodded and said: "My condition is actually very simple, I hope that you can Give the soldiers under my command a proper arrangement, not only to save their lives, but also to live a relatively better life, at least not to let them have nothing to eat once they surrender, and thus become thieves again."

Hearing this, Liu He was immediately relieved, and said without thinking: "I can assure you about this matter, if you can persuade the soldiers under your command to surrender, I can let them freely choose whether to stay in the army or not. I will give them land and seeds according to the order of equalization of land, and those who stay in the army, I will give equal treatment to the soldiers in our army. In addition, I also guarantee that the soldiers under your command will still be under your command. Of course, if If you agree, I may choose some of them to enrich my personal soldiers."

"What the Shijun said is true?" Hearing Liu He's words, Zhang Yan suddenly fell into a great surprise, because there were three surprises in Liu He's words: one is that the soldiers under his command will continue to stay in the army whether they want to or not. , will be treated fairly; secondly, the sergeants under his command have the opportunity to join Liu He's personal army, and thirdly, he can continue to command the original army. Therefore, neither he nor his soldiers will be discriminated against in the future.

For an army that surrendered halfway, this is simply a dream of treatment, especially in Liu He's army, the treatment of the soldiers is simply the best in the world!
"Please rest assured, Yan will definitely do his best to lead the soldiers under his command to surrender to the lord." The excited Zhang Yan immediately patted his chest to make a promise.

"Okay, since that's the case, General Zhang, go back now and wait for your good news." Liu He ordered people to prepare horses for Zhang Yan and send him away.

"Thank you, envoy, but there's no need. Yan Bei has horses not far outside the camp. Let's say goodbye." Zhang Yan bowed to Liu He, then leaped forward and disappeared into the night.

"My lord, you really shouldn't let Zhang Yan go. We managed to catch him with great difficulty. Although he verbally agreed to surrender, but this promise to leave, who can stop him?"

Seeing Liu He let Zhang Yan go, Pan Feng complained immediately.

But Liu He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Yan will definitely come back."

"Really? The lord is so confident?" Pan Feng looked puzzled, but he knew that his lord was always accurate in seeing people, so he shouldn't be wrong, so he didn't dare to speak. Let's go down together and rest.

At noon the next day, Pan Feng was training soldiers in the camp when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside. Looking up, he saw smoke and dust covering the sun in the distance, as if a large army was rushing towards him.

Pan Feng was shocked and quickly ordered his soldiers to close the gate of the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.

Unexpectedly, Liu He behind him said: "No need to do that, open the gate of the village wider, and you come out of the village with me. If my prediction is correct, it must be Zhang Yan who led the army to defect."

"This, is there such a possibility?" Pan Feng was suspicious, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu He's order. He immediately stepped forward, opened the gate of the village to the maximum extent, and followed Liu He out of the camp.

Even so, Pan Feng did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered the soldiers under his command to be on guard secretly, and if something went wrong, he would obey his orders and launch an attack at any time.

However, he was surprised to find that the person on the opposite side slowly slowed down the speed of the horse, and then got off the horse and walked forward slowly.

Not long after, Pan Feng saw that the first person was Zhang Yan who was captured alive last night.

"Zhang Yan, the person who is guilty, has met the envoy." Seeing Zhang Yan coming to Liu He, he respectfully saluted.

"General Zhang, don't be too polite." Liu He gently helped Zhang Yan up and said with a smile.

Then I saw Zhang Yan continue to cup his hands and said: "I would like to report to the envoy, after Yan's persuasion, 2 of the [-] soldiers in my battalion chose to surrender, and another [-] people did not want to continue to join the army, and they were all locals. They left their hometown, so they all went back to their hometown."

"Okay, 5 people is not bad. I don't know how many of the 5 people are willing to go to Bingzhou to be Juntian households, and how many people are willing to stay in the army?" Liu He continued to ask with a smile on his face.

"There are more than 4 people who are unable to continue fighting because of their health and age. At the same time, because they have no relatives in the local area, or they are from Bingzhou, all of them are willing to go to Bingzhou to become Juntian households. These people have been registered. , Now hand it over to the envoy, who can arrange for them to go to Taiyuan at any time. The remaining [-] people are all willing to stay in the army and continue to serve the envoy. Here is their roster. Please have a look at it. "

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she handed over a stack of rosters to Liu He.

Liu He took the roster, only glanced at it, and only kept the roster of eight thousand people who were willing to be Juntian households, but returned the roster of 2000 people to Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "I said before , let you still command the old department, so the roster of these people is naturally under your control, but we have agreed in advance that I have the right to give priority to selecting elites to enter my pro-barracks."
