Chapter 32 Surrender

Zhao Yu's voice was calm, but in the ears of Guan Hai and others, it was creepy and made people sweat.

Zhao Yu said: "I went to Bo County two days ago and saw many animals that were eating people, which was outrageous. I killed them all. Later, Guan Ming said that you had already led troops to attack Beihai, so I hurried here. Guan Hai, I know you have a good heart for a long time. From Guan Ming, I saw some traces that you are different from those beasts. It's just that you have some scruples and don't dare to be good, right?"

At this time, Guan Hai was already shaken. Hearing the words, he said: "The immortal said it right. I was originally a son of a good family, but the court was dark, the officials were stupid, and my father and fellow villagers were in poverty. I heard that the great virtuous teacher replaced the sky with yellow sky, so he followed it. . But after so many years, without hope, I have become disheartened and have a good heart. It’s just..."

"Are you just worried about your saint?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Hai's eyes widened: "The immortal knows?!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Guan Ming has informed me."

Guan Ming could only speak at this time: "Boss Guan, those beasts in Bo County have done all kinds of evil after you left. I can't hold it back, and I'm really ashamed of you. When my husband comes to kill those beasts, I beg him to promise not to be involved." Holy girl, my husband agreed, so I brought him to find you."

Zhao Yu nodded: "Guan Ming is right. Your worries are also right. Your saint is the last spirit of the Yellow Turban. Anyone can surrender, but she can't. Surrender is indispensable without a knife. But in my case, but It doesn't matter. Just like Guan Ming, once you surrender and become the leader, you will follow me and serve you. The same goes for your saint, Cao Mengde will never care about it. "

Then his eyes fell on Guan Hai: "What choice did you make?"

Guan Hai was silent for a long time and said, "What if I shouldn't?"

"If you don't answer, I will kill you."

Zhao Yu had no taboo at all, and said: "Kill you, and then kill all of you in this camp, and then find your saint daughter, and I can also subjugate the rest of the Yellow Turbans."

When Guan Hai heard this, his face finally fell, so he straightened his clothes and leaned down to prostrate himself: "Immortal... Mr. Ming has learned that I, Guan Hai, have a good heart for a long time, and my brothers do not deliberately cause trouble. I just hope that sir will keep his word..."

"I am not a human king, and I can't speak nine cauldrons with one word. But I am a person who has stepped into the immortal way, and one word can have ten cauldrons." Zhao Yu said: "Since you surrender, follow my orders."

"Here!"

Guan Hai stood up and stood with his hands down.

The remaining leaders were all close followers of Guan Hai, not to mention Zhao Yu's magical power before, which caused the entire tent to sink half a foot, and everything was turned into powder, which really frightened these people. In fact, some of them were secretly happy when they heard that they were accompanying Zhao Yu. This is an almost immortal figure. If he can be by his side, not only is it not a bad thing, it is also a blessing from God!

Seeing Guan Hai surrendering, all the people surrendered together and stood respectfully with their hands down.

As for Tai Shici, he had already turned to stone and his mind was in chaos.

Zhao Yu said: "Guan Ming."

Guan Ming stood up.

"Take ten of them, rush to Liang Fu, meet Duke Cao, and tell him to prepare to receive troops."

Guan Ming and the ten cavalrymen who initially followed Zhao Yu bowed in unison: "Here!"

Then he immediately left the account.

Zhao Yu said again: "Guan Hai, restrain the soldiers, retreat ten miles and press the camp. Tomorrow the army will march towards Liang Fu."

"Here!"

"Since we have surrendered, we must not be half-hearted. The more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the camp must be calm and suppressed. If there is anyone who does not obey, huh, they will all be killed."

"...here."

Zhao Yu then nodded and turned sideways to Tai Shici and said, "Go back to Jixian County and tell Kong Wenju that you don't have to worry about the army attacking the city."

Taishi was sincerely convinced and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhao Yu added another sentence: "You are very capable, and now you are on the verge of war. It is time for you to show off your skills. If you are willing, you can come to Liang Fu of Taishan County later, and I will introduce you to you."

Taishi Ci was overjoyed, but hesitant and said, "Thank you sir."

Gone too.

"Is your saint daughter in the army?"

Only then did Zhao Yu ask Guan Hai.

"Not in the army." Guan Hai said, "The saint is in Mount Tai."

Zhao Yu nodded: "That's fine. There's no rush here. Once the arrangements are made, you can go and fetch your saint."

"Here."

...

Taishi Ci felt relaxed all over. After leaving the camp, he came to the city a moment later.

Some soldiers at the top of the city saw him and were a little surprised: "Why are you back?"

Then I heard Taishi Ci say: "Open the city gate quickly, I have something important to do and I need to see the Prime Minister!"

After a while, the city gate opened, and a group of soldiers and horses came out nervously, taking precautions on both sides. Only then did Taishi Ci enter Ju County.

Kong Rong was a man of high attainments in literature, but he was not good at government affairs or military affairs. Now that the city is under siege by the Yellow Turban, he is still talking loudly with many celebrities in the mansion, criticizing the current ills.

An attendant came to report: "Taishici is back again."

Kong Rong asked strangely: "He just broke out and came back so soon?"

Then he said: "Invite him in."

Taishi Ci came in, paid homage to Kong Rong and other famous people one by one, and said, "The country is in a good mood: the Yellow Turbans have been surrendered outside the city, and the troops will be withdrawn soon."

"...absurd!"

Someone said: "How come they surrendered when there were more than 100,000 thieves? Did someone lead the troops here?!"

Taishi Ci said: "Someone is coming, but there are no soldiers or horses."

Kong Rong said: "Ziyi, please tell me in detail."

Taishi Cicai recounted what he had experienced one by one: "This Mr. Zhao has almost immortal abilities, and Huangjin Guanhai has a good heart for a long time. He was frightened by him and surrendered in a few words. I don't believe that the prime minister can do it." Immediately go to the top of the city to see, the troops and horses will retreat ten miles, and they will break camp and leave tomorrow."

As soon as Taishi Ci's words came to light, someone came to report: "Prime Minister, there is movement outside the city!"

Kong Rong and others were very surprised, so they came to the city head with Tai Shici.

From a distance, smoke and dust were billowing in the stretching camp. As time passed, the smoke and dust disappeared. Soon after, only an empty camp was left, and the buildings were empty.

Kong Rong was greatly surprised: "Is it really what Ziyi said?"

Then he said: "Then who is Mr. Zhao?"

Taishi Ci said: "I heard from him that he is a close friend of Cao Gong, Cao Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou, the governor of Dongjun. Because of the pity of Cao Gong, he could not bear to kill the old and weak, so he asked Mr. Zhao to come out to subdue these yellow scarves and resettle them."

"When did Cao Mengde become the governor of Yanzhou?" Someone asked: "Where is Liu Gongshan?"

Kong Rong was also surprised: "I know that Cao Mengde became the governor of Dongjun, but when did he become the governor of Yanzhou?"

Taishi Ci heard something from Zhao Yu and said: "Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, fought with the Yellow Turbans and died on the battlefield. The ministers of Jibei recommended Cao Gong as the governor of Yanzhou and temporarily took over Yanzhou to resist the Yellow Turbans."

When Kong Rong heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly said: "That's right. Liu Gongshan is fierce, but he has no great ability. Death on the battlefield is also his destiny. But Cao Mengde got a lot. When he attacked the Dong thieves before, he was the first to send troops. Although It was an honor to be defeated. I heard that he also defeated tens of thousands of Black Mountain bandits, so he was ordered by Yuan Benchu ​​to temporarily take over the position of prefect of Dongjun."

A famous scholar on the side said: "Liu Gongshan died in the battle, and the Yellow Turbans numbered millions. The people of Yanzhou were frightened, so they naturally had to recommend a governor who was good at fighting in order to control Yanzhou. It seems that this is the case. Bao Yuncheng and Cao Mengde are good friends. I know Cao Mengde’s ability well, and with him taking the lead, it will be a matter of course.”

"It's just that there is no imperial decree, so the name is not justified."

"What's the point? The imperial court is in the hands of Thief Dong, and the imperial edict is false."

A group of celebrities talked and then went to the court again.

On the other hand, Tai Shici, who was next to him, heard a lot of secrets from their mouths.

Thinking of Zhao Yu's words before leaving, Taishi Ci felt a little moved.

He said: "Prime Minister, now that the traitors have been surrendered, the villain will return to his hometown. The old mother in the country is old and dare not stay away."

Hearing this, Kong Rong came back to his senses from the discussion among a group of famous people, with a look of pity on his face: "Zi Yi has great power, but filial piety comes first. You are right. When the traitors retreat tomorrow, you can go back to your hometown." Bar."

"Here."

Kong Rong said again: "The Mr. Zhao you mentioned sounds extraordinary. I wonder if I can meet him one day?"

As for being said to be almost an immortal, Kong Rong didn't really care. I just thought that Mr. Zhao was very skilled in martial arts and eloquent.

...

Cao Mengde, with a thousand steel-armored elite soldiers under his command, arrived at Chengxian County in less than half a day.

Xiahou Dun quickly came out to greet him and said, "Brother, Bao Yuncheng..."

Cao Mengde's face was indeed a little sad, and he sighed: "This is his fate, and there is nothing I can do about it."

After entering the city, Yu Jin came to worship: "I regret not listening to General Xiahou's advice, which led to the death of the Prime Minister. Please also ask Duke Cao to avenge the Prime Minister!"

Xiahou Dun said from the side: "Wen Ze also tried to persuade him, but Bao Yuncheng didn't listen..."

Cao Mengde said: "I was the one who harmed brother Yuncheng. I wanted to surrender the Yellow Turban, but brother Yuncheng had objections. I also invited Mr. Zhao, so that brother Yuncheng didn't feel worried... Sigh..."

Yu Jin had also heard about what happened in Bo County. He knew that Mr. Zhao had single-handedly subdued hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Bo County. He was shocked and admired in his heart. At the same time, he felt that the Prime Minister of his country was indeed too violent. If he had waited a day and heard about this, he would not have died in battle.

As Xiahou Dun said, Yu Jin also tried to persuade Bao Xin, but Bao Xin refused to listen and fought fiercely with the Yellow Turbans. He was eventually surrounded and died on the battlefield.

Although Yu Jin is strong, he has few soldiers and cannot protect him, and he feels guilty in his heart.

I heard Cao Mengde say: "It is the general's long-cherished wish to wrap his body in horse leather. Brother Yuncheng died on the battlefield. Although my heart was sad, when I was angry, I also wanted to kill Liang Fu's Yellow Turbans together. Later I thought that most of these many Yellow Turbans were clothes. It is not voluntary for me to cut down the trees without covering my body and food. Since the reign of Guanghe, for eight or nine years now, the world has been in decline, the bones are everywhere, and the population of Yanzhou has been greatly reduced. I really can't bear to kill too many people. Wen Ze Ah, the person in charge, who has an animal mentality, should kill himself. But if he has a repentant heart, give him a chance."

Yu Jin was deeply impressed: "According to what Duke Cao said, the last general will be the pioneer!"

So there were 5,000 soldiers and horses from Xiahou Dun's army, 2,000 from Cao Chun, and more than 4,000 from Bao Xin's remnant army, plus one thousand from Cao Mengde, for a total of 12,300 soldiers and horses, with Cao Chun leading a fraction. Two to three thousand guarded Chengxian County, and the remaining ten thousand came out in full force. Yu Jin was the vanguard. Cao Mengde held the middle army, with Xiahou Dun on the right and Dian Wei on the left, and attacked Liang Fu.
