Liu Hong's anger did not bring much change to the chaotic court in Luoyang.
This is actually inevitable, because after the sentinels reported the news to the heads of the imperial court that the enemy's troops were less than a thousand and were staying in Xingyang City without continuing the attack, these guys who knew that Luoyang City was as stable as Mount Tai naturally reported that A small group of rebels were put aside. Obtaining more benefits from this matter is what they are most concerned about now, especially the eunuchs.
As for the hundreds of rebels? Not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City, even the captains guarding the Eight Passes had troops ranging from a few hundred to more than 2,000. It's enough to deal with those guys who are overestimating their abilities in their eyes.
The only person here who wants to wipe out those rebels first is Zhu Jun, who is Henan Yin. Henan Yin's position is very embarrassing. Although in terms of status, because he is the highest administrative person in charge of the capital, Zhu Jun's status is higher than that of the prefects who are also two thousand stones. The above point is that because it is an important area of the capital, he has no extra soldiers to use except his own soldiers, the Zhu family's private soldiers and some soldiers who can be used to maintain public order.
His personal soldiers and the private soldiers of the Zhu family living in the capital all live in his mansion in the capital. These people cannot be moved around casually, because they are only a stone's throw away from the palace compared to the rebels who are far away from the eighth pass. The disturbances in the palace of General Yao's Zuoqi are obviously more frightening. Not to mention the emperor and eunuchs, other princes and ministers will also send out their own private soldiers to tie up the inciting Zhu Jun. As for the troops maintaining law and order , you can know their combat effectiveness by looking at the speed of Xingyang’s fall.
The generals He Jin and Sili Colonel Yuan Shao, who really had elite troops and could attack quickly, devoted all their strength to the confrontation with the eunuchs. Even Zhu Jun's words could not make those two My thoughts are shaken at all.
"If I send troops now, wouldn't it be a good excuse for the eunuchs to say that we plan to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces of them? How is this allowed?"
So, just like that, Su Fan and other remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Xingyang City could eat and sleep peacefully for a few days.
Of course, the two poor unfortunates were also thought of by Su Fan who had time to sort out his recent and future actions the next day.
By the time the Yellow Turban Army named Xiao Qi found the two people, the two people who were trapped together had their eyes glazed over and their mouths crooked, as if they were in a state of being unable to get back up. Of course, two people can do something as shameless as incontinence. Those who couldn't come out, besides, they were just hungry for less than two days, and it was just because they had no water to drink that they were like that.
Naturally, the two people who were made like this by the Yellow Turban Army naturally refused Su Fan's recruitment. Although both of them were kings of the mountain, after being taught a lesson by others, the two people discussed it and felt that at least the other party had the ability. One sentence is correct, that is, even a boy with a slightly better background is actually just a fledgling rookie. He is far from seeing the vastness of the world and the prosperity of talents. So let the two of them become rebels now. They are Absolutely not agree to that.
However, one of these two guys has had a ridiculously difficult life through luck, and the other is obviously more willing to do things than use his brains. He fell into the hands of a guy like Su Fan who was surrounded by numerous pursuers and was trying to push back his progress. Obviously, there was no So easy to escape.
"If you two don't want to, I have nothing to say. Although I feel very reluctant to give up, I don't want to force it. I just hope that when we meet again in the future, you two can feel that we are friends and say hello."
Both of them are the masters of "people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot", so when faced with Su Fan's sincere words, especially when Su Fan ordered his men to prepare sufficient meals and wine for the two of them, they
I also gave up the grudge in my heart.
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk." "Although the two sides have different attitudes, Uncle Su is a cheerful person. Xu has made this friend."
Seeing the young man pretending to be mature, Su Fan showed a knowing smile, obviously thinking of the child of the woman he liked who always habitually called him "Uncle Four". It took more than three years.
I don’t know how the couple is doing now, whether there is a new member of the family, or whether everyone else in the village is safe and healthy.
When he thought of this, Su Fan's eyes, which were already a little drunk, suddenly became blurred.
However, he quickly dismissed this strange emotion from his mind. For him, business matters were more important. That kind of nostalgic mood was really too luxurious for him who was still on the road to escape.
enjoyment.
For him, although the origins of the two guys in front of him were somewhat unclear, and they had no idea of their roots or background, judging from their clothes, it was obvious that they were not from rich families, but at most they were rich farmers with well-off families. And these two people
When he was surrounded by hundreds of them, he was calm and unflustered, and his behavior of advancing and retreating in a controlled manner impressed Su Fan.
These two are not ordinary people, Su Fan felt this way at that time.
Su Fan wanted to continue to resist the corrupt Han Dynasty in his eyes and continue in the footsteps of the Divine Envoy and Master Zhang. This was also the common wish of the more than 300 people who followed him, even after several years of hard torture.
A wish that never changes.
However, it is obviously impossible to achieve such a wish just by relying on their three hundred or so people. The previous three years have proven this countless times. Even if they relied on strategies to gain a slight advantage for a while, Guan Gou seemed to
The soldiers who were endlessly killing them had all their previous efforts in vain again and again.
People, Su Fan needs people. Only by having more people under his command can he compete with the official dog. This idea is simple but very real.
However, although people are needed, not everyone wants them. As a mountain man who has lived in the mountains since he was a child, Su Fan knows very well that no matter how much he expands his army, he still cannot compete with the number of official dogs.
In other words, once they reach the plains, his troops will only be beaten into dumplings, just like the elite Yellow Turban Army of nearly a thousand people before.
Therefore, in Su Fan's mind, the most suitable place for his troops to perform is in the mountains. Moreover, he is a person who is good at planning rather than combat command. In previous battles, he often faced unexpected situations on the battlefield.
His response was very poor. If the terrain in the mountains and forests was not complicated and it would be difficult for the enemy to catch his side even if he showed some flaws, he could not guarantee what the outcome would be like. What's more, he only had more than three hundred people around him at that time.
No. 1, what if there were more people?
The terrain in the mountains and forests is undulating, the roads are complicated, and there is a lack of supplies. In addition, they lack a stronghold where they can rest. Therefore, if they are not mentally determined, they may lose their combat effectiveness within a few days of being in the team.
What's even more interesting to Su Fan is that the subordinate named Xiao Qi told him that although the two guys looked so miserable when they were found that it made people laugh, in fact they were just taking advantage of
The way to death was to avoid the aggressive beasts that may be nearby. What's more, although the two people looked like they could not get back up, their consciousness was very clear. Although they were of no use because they were tied up, they could still see their
Caution and experience.
Xiao Qi is also an excellent hunter who has lived in the mountains for many years, and has much more experience in identifying the habits of animals and plants than himself. Su Fan naturally believes in his words.
It is precisely because of this that Su Fan is determined to win these two guys who have a good start.
"Since the two of you regard Su as friends, Su will naturally treat his friend well, so today you two please eat and drink with ease. Su also ordered his men to boil hot water.
, you two should have a good rest today."
The next day, Su Fan once again said to the two people with a smile: "I think you two are people who have traveled to some places and have some knowledge, and judging from their various postures, I think they are also people with extraordinary skills, so Su has
This is a humble request, I hope you two can give some guidance to my subordinates so that they can learn a lot."
This can be said to be Su Fan's final test, not only for the two people he wants to recruit, but also for his own eyesight.
As for Su Fan's invitation to fight, the young man immediately agreed without saying a word, while the young man looked a little sad.
The result is that although the young man's moves are impressive, they are all flashy. Especially in terms of strength, he is more than a few blocks behind the elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. Although the young man is quite powerful,
But in the end, the bones of the body still haven't grown. Although the potential is full, it is not high enough to make up for the physical gap. It was not obvious at first, but as time went by, the failure became more obvious, and in the end, it was not defeated.
Change it to the opponent you are fighting with.
Although the two people he was optimistic about ended up losing, Su Fan was not too disappointed. Instead, he expressed his appreciation for the performance of both people who tried their best to fight to the end.
"I think the two brothers are not ordinary people, and they don't look like locals in Henan. They plan to go out and see the world. You have also seen our group. Although they are not famous people, they are
Every one of them has a few tricks up their sleeves.
If you two don’t dislike it, Su sincerely invites you once again to venture into this world together. I believe that among our group of brothers, you two will be able to find someone who looks pleasing to the eye and feels like you can depend on each other for life and death.
brother."
"Yes, join this gorgeous and elegant team." The slender boy named Xiaoqi persuaded.
"Although I can't see where it feels gorgeous or elegant, it seems pretty good."
In the impression, they still look like a group of savages. Although they have become more human-like after washing, the first impression is indeed very important. But maybe they don’t know each other without fighting, at least for young people, following this group of people
A guy with great strength may not be so unacceptable, even if the behavior he engages in is very dangerous.
"Just watch, Brother Zhongkang, I will prove my efforts to you." The young man made up his mind.
"Introduce yourself, Xu Ke. Please take good care of me from now on."
"Haha, welcome Brother Xu to join us." Su Fan and the others around him also showed happy smiles at this time.
Fresh blood, new hope. These are so gratifying to people who have lived in a confined space for three years.
only……
"Hey, hey, have you forgotten something? It's so hateful..."
Something that had been huddled in the corner since the competition ended let out a howl like a defeated dog.
p.s. It rained all day today, and I feel wet and uncomfortable...
