Lu Zhi glanced at the head on the ground, with great joy on his face. When he saw Gao Fei's body was stained red with blood, he walked to Gao Fei's side, took Gao Fei's hand, and said loudly: "Zi
Yu lived up to expectations and came back with Zhang Jue's head! I heard people say that you went north to pursue Zhang Jue, so I knew that you would definitely achieve this great feat. I am really blessed to have such a brave general like you.
.Come here and bring up five hundred kilograms of gold!"
The soldiers outside the door seemed to have already prepared the gold. As soon as Lu Zhi's voice fell, he came up with two large boxes and placed them on the floor of the hall. After opening them, a bright yellow gold nugget was revealed.
The hall was illuminated by golden light, and the soldiers retreated at this moment.
Gao Fei took a look at the two boxes of gold and felt happy in his heart. Thinking about his previous life, he opened a company and set up a factory just to make a lot of money. But in this troubled world, these little bits of gold mean nothing.
"Instead of keeping this gold for yourself, it is better to use this gold to win people's hearts!"
Thinking of this, he did not dare to be greedy for credit. He turned around and bowed to Lu Zhi: "Sir, the fact that the final general can successfully kill Zhang Jiao has a great relationship with you and all the soldiers. Those who died fighting to attack the city
The soldiers have not yet been appeased, so I would like to ask you to use this gold to appease the families of those soldiers who died on the battlefield, to show your compassion for your subordinates!"
Lu Zhi said: "Ziyu is a true righteous man! Don't be arrogant after taking credit. I have not misjudged you. This is the reward I proposed from the beginning. The reward for killing Zhang Jiao is 500 jins. These 500 jins of gold are now all
It’s your property. As for how to use it, that’s your own business. You don’t have to report it to me. However, what I promise must be fulfilled, otherwise you will be laughed at by the world.”
When Gao Fei heard what Lu Zhi said, he didn't seem to know how to win people's hearts. He actually wasted such a good opportunity. Wouldn't this be an advantage for him? He held up his hands and said: "My lords, attack
When we conquered the city, without your assistance, I would never have achieved this feat. Please report the number of those who died in battle, and the gold should be used as housing expenses for those soldiers who died in battle!"
The faces of all the military commanders present showed a burst of joy, and they all held their hands and said: "On behalf of the dead soldiers, we thank Gao Sima."
Lu Zhi walked to his seat, sat down upright, and shouted loudly: "Bring up the thieves Zhou Cang and Guan Hai!"
"Guan Hai? Didn't I ask someone to send him back?" Gao Fei was startled. He turned around and saw the soldiers escorting Zhou Cang, who was tied up with five flowers, and Guan Hai walked in.
As soon as Guan Hai entered the door, he saw Gao Fei, with an expressionless and indifferent look on his face, and he cursed loudly: "Despicable villain!"
Zhou Cang gave a cold "hum" and said slowly: "Brother Guan Hai, I told you before that no one in the army is trustworthy, but you just don't listen! Now that you and I can come together again,
It’s no longer lonely on the road to Huangquan.”
"Kneel down!" Lu Zhi slammed the table in front of him angrily and shouted loudly.
The soldiers pushed Guan Hai and Zhou Cang to the ground. The two struggled for a while, but to no avail, and stopped struggling. Guan Hai's eyes were full of hostility, and he looked at Gao Fei fiercely.
Gao Fei didn't know what was going on, so he shouted: "Sir, when the general was chasing Zhang Jiao, he had surrendered Guan Hai and had people escort him back. Why..."
"The hundreds of thousands of thieves in the city can be exempted from death, but these two thieves must not be tolerated. This general has been confronting Zhang Jiao for more than a month. Zhou Cang and Guan Hai led the yellow scarf bandits to invade our army many times.
As a result, most of our soldiers died in the battle. These two are Zhang Jiao's minions and must be killed to serve as a warning to others!"
"Hmph! If you want to kill, just kill, why bother!" Zhou Cang Dayi said calmly.
"Sir, now is the time to hire people. The last generals Zhou Cang and Guan Hai have fought against each other many times. These two are not weak in military force. It is better to keep them and let them serve for our army and make the merits of the crime." Gao Fei.
He wanted to surrender Zhoucang and Guan Hai, so he hurriedly said.
"Ziyu, you are so confused! Three days ago during the battle at Jiuligou, the two of them worked together to besiege you and almost killed you. I would have killed both of them to avenge you. Why are you so stubborn?
" Lu Zhi said.
Gao Fei said: "Sir, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The former Zhou Cang and Guan Hai are still Yellow Turban thieves. The reason why they want to kill me is just because they are their own masters. Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the Yellow Turban thieves
The situation is over. If they can be allowed to serve the imperial court, it will not only show the magnanimity of the imperial court, but also show your lord's broadmindedness. I would like to ask your lord to think twice!"
Lu Zhi lowered his eyes, thought carefully, and asked softly: "Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, are you two willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side and submit to the imperial court?"
Guan Hai had already surrendered to Gao Fei, but when he returned to Guangzong, Lu Zhi saw him and forcibly imprisoned him. He was also very angry with Gao Fei in his heart. At this time, when he heard Gao Fei's strong defense for him, he felt in his heart
He no longer complained about Gao Fei. When he heard Lu Zhi's question, he hurriedly replied: "I have already demoted General Gao. Naturally, I am willing to submit to the imperial court. Please be kind to me!"
Lu Zhi asked again: "Zhou Cang, what about you?"
Zhou Cang glanced at Gao Fei and asked, "Gao Fei, can you really let go of past events?"
Gao Fei nodded and said: "The past things are in the past, I won't take it to heart, otherwise, I won't plead for you. I think you are also a good man, and you died at such a young age.
It’s such a pity, not to mention that you are following Zhang Jiao. I think you know better than me whether the great sage master is a god descended to earth. But now that Zhang Jiao is dead and the Yellow Turban Army is gone, why would you risk your life for this?”
Zhou Cang thought for a while, then turned to Lu Zhi and said: "You can surrender if you want me to, but I was captured by Gao Fei, so I can only surrender to the person who captured me!"
After everyone saw it, they all looked at each other. Lu Zhi even showed some displeasure on his face, but then he thought that Gao Fei was his subordinate, and surrendering to Gao Fei would be equivalent to surrendering to him, so he felt relieved and said with a smile: "
Zhou Cang, get up, you will be Ziyu's general from now on! Untie Zhou Cang and Guan Hai!"
The soldiers removed the ropes from Zhou Cang and Guan Hai. They first kowtowed to Lu Zhi, then kowtowed to Gao Fei together, and at the same time shouted: "I see you, your lord!"
Gao Fei hurriedly helped Zhou Cang and Guan Hai up. He was extremely happy, even happier than when he got the five hundred kilograms of gold. He patted their shoulders and said slowly: "No need to be polite."
Lu Zhi smiled and saw Zhou Cang and Guan Hai slowly retreating behind Gao Fei, and said loudly: "Now that Guangzong has surrendered, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves have surrendered, but there is no food in the city. Our army
The remaining grain is less than three months, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans remaining in Quyang. I would like to hear your opinions on how to deal with these hundreds of thousands of traitors."
Gao Fei said: "Sir, these yellow scarf thieves are just ordinary people. They rebelled only because they were bewitched by Zhang Jue. Now they have surrendered to you. You should arrange it properly. I think that these dozen or so people can be killed."
Ten thousand people were sent to other counties in batches and fed separately, which can naturally reduce the pressure on our army."
Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Well, what you said is good, I will do as you wish."
Gao Fei thought that although he killed Zhang Jue in this Guangzong battle, Lu Zhi had the greatest credit. After all, Lu Zhi was the commander of this army, and he felt really unhappy that he was always working for others like this, so he immediately clasped his fists
He said: "Sir, I have something to ask you, but you don't know whether to say it or not?"
"If you have something to say, just say it, why hesitate." Lu Zhi said.
Gao Fei said: "Sir, now Guangzong has gone down and Zhang Jiao is dead, but the news will never reach Quyang so quickly. The general thought that because soldiers are so fast, our army should be as quick as lightning to cover their ears.
The troops are marching down Quyang at a rapid pace. Once our troops approach the city, the hundreds of thousands of remaining Yellow Turbans in Quyang will be caught off guard and will inevitably fall into chaos. We can capture Quyang in one battle and completely level the Yellow Turbans in Hebei."
After hearing this, Lu Zhi's blood surged and he shouted loudly: "What you said is true, but our army has just captured Xiaguangzong. Thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded. Hundreds of thousands of surrendered Yellow Turban thieves have not yet been appeased. The general left for a while.
Don’t open here…”
Gao Fei said: "My lord, I am willing to serve as the vanguard. As long as I allocate 20,000 troops to the general, I will definitely be able to capture Quyang within one month!"
"It's magnificent! It's just that...the Yellow Turban thieves are numerous and powerful. Are the 20,000 troops a little short?" Lu Zhi said.
Gao Fei said: "Sir, most of the Yellow Turban thieves are ordinary people without training. Their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the official army. I think 20,000 horses are enough. As long as you are willing to allocate 20,000 elite troops to me, I will definitely be able to
Conquer Quyang in one fell swoop... and make your lord famous all over the world!"
When Lu Zhi heard the last few words, he was very excited. He immediately clapped his hands happily and shouted: "Okay! Ziyu, when will you set off?"
"The sooner the better!"
"Well, let's do this. You can go back to the camp to rest today. I will gather 20,000 troops for you at 10:00 tomorrow. How about setting off tomorrow?"
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
"Okay, you can go back to the camp outside the city and rest!"
"I will finally retire!"
Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Guan Hai to the entrance of the hall, stopped, looked back at the two boxes of gold on the ground, and said to Lu Zhi: "Sir, please distribute these two boxes of gold!"
Lu Zhi nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.
After leaving the county government office, Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Guan Hai back to the camp outside the city. He saw a troubled expression on Zhou Cang's face, so he said to Zhou Cang: "We will attack Quyang tomorrow. I know how you feel now.
, we were brothers of life and death who fought together, but now we have to turn our guns against them, you feel bad, don’t you?"
Zhou Cang nodded and said nothing.
Guan Hai said: "Brother Zhou Cang, if you want to be more open-minded, there is nothing to feel uncomfortable about. Why did we join the Yellow Turbans? It's not just to have food to eat. Now that we have surrendered to you, you will deal with the traitors, so we will
They should be assisted, why should they sigh?"
Zhou Cang said: "That being said, we are brothers who are intertwined in life and death after all, so you can do it?"
Although Gao Fei has no close friendship with Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, he can still find the differences between the two people. In comparison, Zhou Cang is a person who values loyalty, while Guan Hai is relatively inferior. It seems that he only
Pay attention to his own interests. Since he has surrendered these two people, it is equivalent to having two more helpers. He will naturally have ways to control these two people, just like he leads the employees of a company in modern times.
He patted Zhou Cang's shoulder and said with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about. When the time comes, you can make everyone who has a life-or-death relationship with you abandon the darkness and turn to the light. In this way, things will become simple."
