Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258 Recruiting and Surrendering the Second General
Luo Hao returned to the stronghold after winning the victory. The Yangtou Mountain bandits were very happy and celebrated their victory by drinking in the stronghold that night.

The boss, Zhao Yu, had a great time watching it, and said with a big laugh, "Although my virtuous brother lost the first round, he won one round with darts, and he didn't lose my name as a copycat. Good job."

Luo Hao sighed: "Although I hit Zhao Yun with a dart, it was not upright after all, and his senior brother Liu He is more capable, hurting Zhao Yun, how can Liu He let it go?"

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "We have the natural danger of Yangtou Mountain, why are we afraid of him? When Liu He comes, I will deal with it. My brother, just don't worry."

Luo Hao raised his glass but didn't drink it, he frowned and said, "Brother, don't forget their master..."

"Tong Daxia?" Zhao Yu's face changed slightly, and he put the wine glass on the table.

Tong Yuan's name in Taihang and even Bingzhou area is very famous, if he hurt his disciples, what's the deal?

Luo Hao saw that he was moved, and took the opportunity to persuade him: "Brother, we were also forced by the government when we fell into the grass, but we are different from the black mountain bandits. We worked on our own, never hurt innocent people, but saved many people, just for the sake of one day To meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Boxing is a clan member of the Han family, and he launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, and Yang Feng’s 3 horses were also defeated by him, so don’t you think highly of him?”

"Oh, dear brother—" Zhao Yu sighed, and said, "I don't know that Liu Boxing is a hero, but you see that he has so many generals under his command, all of them are very capable. If you and I serve under his command, I'm afraid There will never be a bright future!"

Luo Hao said loudly: "Brother, a man should rely on his own true ability to make achievements. If he hopes that others will be promoted and enjoy the fruits of it, this kind of glory and wealth is not worth it!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Luo Hao, frowned, shook his head and said: "We are here to stop the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that Liu He has already regarded us as the gang of Black Mountain bandits, and you hurt Zhao Yun again, how can Liu He pardon your sins like this?" Why?"

"Brother, you are so indecisive because you read too much." Luo Hao shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Zhao Yu was still hesitating in his heart, but at this moment it was hard to talk about the agreement with Zhao Yun, which made him suspicious again, and all previous efforts were wasted.

After thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, we should just be the one with the most votes. If we succeed, we will be famous in the green forest, so that Liu He will pay attention to us. In the future, no matter whether we surrender or stand on our own, we will have a place. A safe place."

Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "What does my brother want to do?"

"Root the camp!" Luo Hao slapped the table and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "The army of officers and soldiers will arrive tomorrow, and they only have 1000 people. Zhao Yun was injured today, and the army is invincible. And know how good we are."

"This..." Zhao Yu was stunned, and suddenly patted his thigh, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we have offended them anyway, so let's just show our strength."

Knowing that there was no way forward or retreat, Zhao Yu was willing to go all out at this time. He immediately called two leaders and told them to stay in the cottage, and selected two thousand elite soldiers to prepare for the plan.

After the second watch, when the moon and stars were thinning, Zhao Yu and Luo Hao led the troops down the mountain quietly, one left and one right, and rushed into the officers and soldiers camp with a loud shout.

The two charged three or four tents in a row, but seeing that there was no one inside, Zhao Yu knew that he had hit the mark, so he hurriedly rode his horse and left. Suddenly, he heard drums beating loudly from all around, and the ambush soldiers shouted and rushed out.

The thieves fled in panic, running desperately up the mountain, trampling each other along the way, and before the officers and soldiers could catch up, they wounded many soldiers themselves.

Zhao Yu came to the mouth of the valley, and suddenly the flames lit up in front of his eyes, and a group of well-armored officers and soldiers stopped in front of him. The first general urged his horse out, raised his gun and shouted coldly: "Rebel, don't get off your horse and return, are you ready to die?"

Zhao Yu saw the flashing arrow clusters aiming at him, and the mountain road was stopped by officers and soldiers, with nowhere to go, so he hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt down on the road: "The villain is willing to surrender."

It was Gao Shun who was ambushing here. Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't resist, he nodded slightly and said, "If you go astray and find your way back, go and persuade those fleeing thieves to surrender. General Liu respects the virtuous and loves talents. It's to your credit."

Zhao Yulian thanked him, got up and went back to the camp, and recruited the fleeing rebels along the way. Seeing Zhao Yu's surrender, the rebels put down their weapons and surrendered.

Outside the east gate of the camp, Luo Hao was retreating when he happened to meet Zhao Yun who was leading the troops. He was surprised and happy and asked hurriedly: "General Zhao, are you not injured?"

Zhao Yun nodded and smiled, "I caught the dart with my hand and went back to the camp as a feint. Thank you for your mercy."

Luo Hao was ashamed, and quickly got off his horse, knelt down and said: "The general's martial arts skills are world-class, I think Liu Boxing must be like a god, I am willing to surrender, follow the left and right, I hope the general will take him in."

Zhao Yun dismounted and helped Luo Hao up, and said with a smile: "I'm only doing a mere job now, if you worship the general, you still need to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, if you don't mind, then lead the army with me, make meritorious deeds, and assist General Liu to protect the Han Dynasty. "

Luo Hao clasped his fists and said: "The villain is willing to advance and retreat with the general, and share weal and woe."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I think your marksmanship is quite basic. In the future, we will train soldiers together."

"Thank you General!" Luo Hao was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Not to mention Tong Yuan's name, Zhao Yun's marksmanship was also witnessed by him. If he could get Zhao Yun's guidance, his wild way of marksmanship, which he put together everywhere, would definitely improve a lot.

At this moment, Gao Shun also took Zhao Yu back to the camp, recruited six or seven hundred fleeing bandits, and the rest fled back to the village.

When Zhao Yu saw Luo Hao and Zhao Yun clasped their hands and answered, he knew that he had surrendered, and he stepped forward to salute and said, "I don't know how big the world is, and accidentally injured the general. I am extremely ashamed. I hope the general will make amends."

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "A little injury is not a big deal."

Only then did Zhao Yu heave a sigh of relief, and said, "My brother is willing to surrender, but there are still families and hundreds of people in the village. I hope the two generals can settle them down properly."

Zhao Yun said: "Don't worry about this matter, the world is in turmoil, General Liu put the chaos in order, took in the refugees, and even Yang Feng's subordinates gave them a chance to correct their evil ways, let alone the two heroes?"

"I'm ashamed!" Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed, "I'm too greedy. I only know the heroes of Taihang Mountain, but I don't know the size of the world. I'm humiliating myself. From now on, if I have a job, I will die."

Luo Hao said: "Brother, I have made up my mind to follow General Zhao, what do you plan to do?"

Zhao Yu was startled, looked at Zhao Yun, clasped his fists and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my martial arts are not as good as Brother Luo's, but since I was a child, I can write and count. If General Zhao doesn't dislike him, I would like to follow Brother Xian along with me."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "You two brothers are willing to be with me. It is really an honor for me. From now on, you and I will serve the country together and recommend General Liu to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. We will surely make meritorious service and show our relatives. This life will not be in vain."

The two went up to salute again, but they didn't realize that it was five o'clock, and Zhao Yun asked him to go up the mountain to persuade the thieves to surrender.

Those who are willing to join the army will be selected to recruit their subordinates to join the army. Those who are not willing to join the army will be sent to the Xun family together with the common people who are fleeing the chaos to resettle and return to farming.
