The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng saw what happened around Huang Zu before. At first, it was obvious that Huang Zu wanted to kill Su Fei, but later Su Fei tried his best to protect Huang Zu, which made Liu Zheng a little interested.

Immediately, he asked Huang Zu directly.

"Hey, just now I saw that you seemed to be fighting in a nest, what's going on?"

Liu Zheng looked at Huang Zu and then at Su Fei, the meaning was obvious, he was asking what happened between him and Su Fei just now.

At this time, Huang Zu's face was ashen, he was captured as a prisoner, and he had lost his high spirits as a commander before. When he saw Liu Zheng asking, he was honest and gave a brief description of what happened with Su Fei before.

And Liu Zheng also understood that Su Fei, who is loyal to protect the Lord and has some control over the timing of the battlefield, is the strongest among Huang Zu's men and horses.

Chapter 144 Su Fei and Huang Zu

After learning about the matter between Su Fei and Huang Zu, not only did Liu Zheng not have any dislike for Su Fei, but he became very curious about Su Fei.

"Hey, kid, look up and let me see."

Liu Zheng glanced at Su Fei, his eyes stayed on Su Fei, and he looked at Su Fei carefully.

Liu Zheng doesn't have much impression of Su Fei, but he vaguely remembers that in many Three Kingdoms games, this person seems to be a third-rate general.

He was a not-so-famous military general under Huang Zu's influence, and he didn't have any outstanding deeds. The only thing that impressed him was that he seemed to have a good relationship with Jinfan bandit Gan Ning.

He recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu many times, but unfortunately Huang Zu did not appoint Gan Ning because Gan Ning was a water thief. As a result, Gan Ning escaped from Huang Zu's command and went to seek refuge with Sun Quan.

Later, Sun Quan defeated Huang Zu, and Su Fei was captured by Sun Quan. It was Gan Ning's guarantee with his life that Su Fei was not beheaded by Sun Quan, and he took refuge in Wu State and became a general of Wu State.

Although Gan Ning has gained a great reputation in history, because Su Fei has no outstanding talent, he has not been able to play as he should in the place where there are many famous advisers in the Wu Kingdom.

In fact, it's not that Su Fei's talent is not good, but that he himself is a general.It was after the development of Wu State that he took refuge in Wu State. His status and status were different from Gan Ning's, so he could not be reused.

Now that Liu Zheng saw Su Fei, his love for talents suddenly arose, and he wanted to recruit Su Fei to his subordinates. After all, Huang Zu didn't seem to care much about Su Fei, and even once wanted to recruit Su Fei. killed.

And Su Fei had just experienced the incident of being about to be beheaded by Huang Zu, but he was still able to cover Huang Zu's escape with his life, which shows that this guy is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

Liu Zheng liked it even more.

After Liu Zheng yelled at Su Fei, Su Fei actually raised his head and met Liu Zheng's eyes.

Looking at each other, Su Fei didn't show any sense of loss in defeat.

On the contrary, Su Fei's face was very peaceful, as if he hadn't been hit hard by the defeat in a battle.

"Looking at you, you don't seem to think that you are a prisoner now."

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Although I have become a prisoner, but this time the failure was not my fault, so I have nothing to regret. On the contrary, I have learned a lot of lessons. The next time I meet again, I will definitely not will lose so quickly."

Su Fei was also frank. After hearing Liu Zheng's question, he immediately responded.

Liu Zheng nodded. He was a little surprised when he heard Su Fei's words, and continued to ask Su Fei.

"I heard from Huang Zu just now that they all advocated fighting, why did you want to avoid fighting with us from the beginning, and just now others advocated breaking out, but you wanted to surrender, can you tell me your reason? "

"There's nothing we can't say. Huang Zu advocated fighting with you. In fact, I didn't object at first. After all, if we use ambush tactics, even if our troops are weaker than yours, we may not be incapable of fighting."

"But later you saw through our ambush strategy. With the huge gap in the number of soldiers and horses, Huang Zu's [-] soldiers and horses are unlikely to be your opponents. This kind of battle has little chance of winning. Even if we forcefully fight on, it will only increase the casualties in vain."

"Besides, breaking through the siege just now is clearly hopeless. If you insist on doing this, you will only lose all the few remaining soldiers and horses. Instead, it is better to surrender quickly and maybe your life will be spared."

Su Fei happily told Liu Zheng what he was thinking.

After seeing the strength of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, he can easily understand that with the troops of Huang Zu's command, it is very difficult to escape from Liu Zheng's [-] troops. It is better to surrender directly. clean.

"You think smart, you have more insight than them."

After Su Fei finished speaking, Liu Zheng praised him appreciatively.

"Originally, I didn't intend to attack Jiangxia. I came to Jiangxia just to go to Changsha County by way."

"But you guys actually set up an ambush here, forcing me to fight with you. I, Liu Zheng, are not easy to mess with. If you want to beat me, I will play with you. This is the result now. Now Alright."

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't intend to fight you. Originally, I planned to sell Huang Zhong's face and let him let you go, but you challenged my patience again and again, and let him go for no reason. I have lost so many soldiers and horses because of you, how do you think this matter should be dealt with?"

Liu Zheng looked at Su Fei with great interest, and asked Su Fei, he wanted to ask Su Fei how to deal with this result.

After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Su Fei's expression changed slightly.

Did not speak.

Liu Zheng thought that Su Fei didn't hear clearly, so he spoke again.

"If you were me, how would you deal with these people in this situation?"

Seeing Liu Zheng asking again, Su Fei spoke up at this time when he hesitated a little before.

"If I were you, I would let Huang Zu go."

"Oh?"

When Liu Zheng heard Su Fei's answer, he immediately became interested. ,

"Tell me your reason. If your reason can convince me, I can indeed let Huang Zu go. Anyway, this guy's life or death is not particularly important to me."

"No, it's very important. A living Huang Zu has more effect on Qu Shuai than a dead one."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Although Huang Zu is not the prefect of Jiangxia, the family behind Huang Zu, the Huang family, is the largest family in Jiangxia, and its strength is comparable to that of the prefect. The most important thing is that Huang Zu is the current head of the Huang family. Qu Shuai killed Huang Zu, which is equivalent to offending the Huang family."

"Your general, Huang Zhong, is also a member of the Huang family. Thinking about it, Qu Shuai doesn't want to see his general embarrassing. If he lets Huang Zu go, he will definitely gain the favor of the Huang family and get a lot of money and food. Qu Shuai They are the Yellow Turban Army, they must be short of money and food, and if they exchange Huang Zu for some money and food, they will definitely be more than Cai Mao, not less."

Although not many people knew about Liu Zheng's capture of Cai Mao, then letting him go and making Cai Mao pay the ransom, many people with some eyes and ears could still know about it.

People like Su Fei and Huang Zu who have some influence in Jiangxia can naturally understand these things.

When Liu Zheng heard that Huang Zu could be exchanged for money and food, his eyes lit up immediately, but now Liu Zheng is not very short of money, and this little money is not as attractive as before.

Chapter 145 Winning a good general is worth a thousand gold

"Of course what you said is very attractive, but now, I am not as short of money as before. Some money is not as attractive to me as before, so what you said is not enough Impress me."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Su Fei's expression darkened and he changed slightly.

After all, at first Su Fei thought that using this could persuade Liu Zheng to release Huang Zu and others, but he didn't expect Liu Zheng to reject him, which made Su Fei feel a little bad.

But Liu Zheng quickly changed the subject.

"However, killing this guy Huang Zu won't do me any good. Since I can get some money by putting it back, why don't I do it? After all, no one will dislike their money. "

A faint smile appeared on Liu Zheng's face.

After hearing this, Su Fei had a mixed look on his face, not knowing what Liu Zheng meant by saying that.

"How about it, General Huang Zu, how much money are you willing to give to redeem your life?"

Huang Zu actually kept silent when Liu Zheng and Su Fei were talking, but he heard all the conversation between Liu Zheng and Su Fei.

Originally thought that surrendering Liu Zheng would be a dead end, but Liu Zheng was really willing to let him go. Hearing this, he immediately answered Liu Zheng.

"As long as you let me go, I'm willing to give five hundred! Oh no, one thousand, I'm willing to give one thousand gold!"

Although a thousand pieces of gold is not much, it is considered a lot of money for Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng just sneered when he heard Huang Zu's words.

"One thousand gold? Is your life only worth one thousand gold? Do you know how much Cai Mao spent?"

Liu Zheng was unmoved in the slightest. Although Liu Zheng was moved by the thousand gold, he still had to show a look of disdain, so that he could extract greater benefits from Huang Zu.

"A thousand gold won't work?"

Seeing Liu Zheng's appearance, Huang Zu was obviously a little bit astonished. After all, one thousand gold is not a small amount. It is precisely because Huang Zu knew that Cai Mao only used fifteen hundred gold back then, so he offered one thousand gold. price tag.

Besides, one thousand gold is not a small amount for Huang Zu. Although he is the head of the contemporary Huang family, he is different from Cai Mao. Cai Mao has no elders. He has the final say in the family. Zu is different.

There are still many elders in the Huang family, Huang Zu wants to save his life, all the property he wants to take out is his own, his own assets are not too much, it is only a few thousand gold.

One thousand gold would be spent at once, even though Huang Zu was rich, he couldn't afford such an expense.

"Do you think one thousand gold is enough?"

"That 1000 and two hundred gold?"

Huang Zu hesitated for a moment, then asked Liu Zheng tentatively.

Liu Zheng heard that Huang Zu was so stingy, and the price increase was only two hundred gold.

Thinking that this guy really didn't have much money, he simply didn't say much, and responded directly to Huang Zu.

"I don't want more from you, you can pay the same price as Cai Mao, [-] gold, if you want, let someone come over and give the money now."

Liu Zheng didn't say much to Huang Zu, and told Huang Zu directly about the price.

Huang Zu looked at Liu Zheng, and when he heard the number [-] gold, he looked at it with an unnatural expression on his face.

Although it was a bit ugly, but when he heard that he could survive, he nodded.

But Liu Zheng immediately added another sentence.

"By the way, you subordinates, it's another calculation. The soldiers are worth a gold, and the generals are a little more expensive, one hundred gold."

Liu Zheng's words immediately made Huang Zu's face extremely ugly.

He just wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Zheng's irrefutable look, he knew that it was useless to say anything, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

There are not many small soldiers left. Except for those who were killed, there are less than 1000 people who are still alive at this time. Huang Zu can even give up these small soldiers directly, but those generals, especially Chen Ju Deng Long and others, Huang Zu Can not give up.

That is the foundation of his foothold in Jiangxia. If he ignores it, he will inevitably be criticized. Who will take refuge in him at that time, I'm afraid it will distract the hearts of the people below.

Fortunately, there are only a few generals, and he can raise at most two thousand gold, which is enough to redeem these people.

"Then do the math, those are the ones you want to redeem."

Liu Zheng took Huang Zu with him and began to count the generals he wanted to redeem among these troops.

Huang Zu's gaze swept across the crowd, and his eyes fell on Chen Jiu, Deng Long and a few others.

"This, this, and this. I don't have enough money for the others, so I can't redeem them."

Huang Zu gritted his teeth and pointed at Liu Zheng to a few people.

Among these few people, there really was no Su Fei.

Su Fei originally had some expectations, hoping that Huang Zu would save his life by the way, but after Huang Zu finished counting people, he left Su Fei alone.

This made Su Fei look a little unnatural. In fact, Su Fei had done his best to Huang Zu, and at least fulfilled the duties of a subordinate.

But Huang Zu was not friendly to Su Fei at all, so he gave up on Su Fei right now.

Seeing this, Su Fei just sighed and didn't say another word.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng deliberately pointed at Su Fei.

"What about this? This is also your subordinate, don't you want it?"

Liu Zheng deliberately pinched Su Fei out, pointed at Huang Zu and asked.

When Liu Zheng said this, Huang Zu had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, and he still couldn't hide his displeasure, but he continued to speak to Liu Zheng.

"I don't have enough money."

Huang Zu didn't directly refuse to say that he didn't want Su Fei, but just made an excuse that he didn't have enough money.

Liu Zheng nodded after listening.

"So, just don't want it."

Huang Zu didn't speak.Saying nothing means agreeing.

But Su Fei remained indifferent, with a sneer on his face.

"Since you don't want it, give it to me."

Liu Zheng opened his mouth immediately, and said something to Huang Zu, which made Huang Zu stunned.

He didn't seem to understand what Liu Zheng meant.

Liu Zheng didn't give Huang Zu time to say more, but continued to speak to Huang Zu.

"A good general is worth a thousand gold. I don't want you for nothing. I will exchange this man with a thousand gold."

Liu Zheng pointed to Su Fei, and his eyes shifted from Huang Zu's body to Su Fei's.

But Su Fei was stunned on the spot at this moment, looking at Liu Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, completely at a loss.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng asked again.
