Li Ru did not answer Zuo Aoran, but asked instead: "Marshal Zuo! What do you think of Li Jue and Guo Si?"
"It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away!" Zuo Aoran said calmly.
Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Li Jue has always had prestige in the army, and the Flying Bear Army in his hands is Li Jue's permanent commander. If Guo Si dies, it will be no big deal. If Li Jue dies, I'm afraid the new one will surrender."
The army mutinied, and when that happens, Marshal, although you won't have any injuries to your bones or muscles, you will still get some broken skin and some blood."
"I have a better plan. Thank you for your advice, sir!" Zuo Aoran urged his horse forward slightly and said, "Hu Che'er! Go and escort Yang Wei, Li Ying, Li Xian, and Li Li to the Golden Palace.
The rest of the civil and military personnel will follow me, but I want to see what kind of characters Li Jue and Guo Si are, who can actually defeat Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian!"
Zuo Aoran's words, "I have a better plan, thank you sir for your suggestions!" made Li Ru confused. He had not expressed any opinions on this issue at all, so how could he suggest anything?
Ah! Is it really implicit in his words? Or is this Zuo Aoran unable to keep his face and not knowing how to pretend to understand? Humph! I will know what happened to this person if I see how he behaves in a while?! What if it is really the master of the Ming Dynasty?
, I, Li Ru, will sincerely serve, dedicate myself to it, and die for it!
Zuo Aoran came to the golden palace surrounded by civil and military officials. Li Jue and Guo Si asked Zuo Aoran to take a seat. When Zuo Aoran saw that the seat was a dragon chair, he shook his head. One of his soldiers brought one from the side hall.
Dragon squat, Zuo Aoran is sitting on the dragon squat, the other civil and military personnel are standing aside, Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Shi, and Li Jin are standing on the other side.
Li Jue and Guo Si kept chatting with Zuo Aoran, but Zuo Aoran kept saying yes. Li Shi also occasionally interjected a few words, while the civil and military officers under Zuo Aoran did not interrupt.
I only occasionally heard ridiculous words and laughed a few times. The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was quite harmonious and there were no embarrassing topics.
After a while, Yang Wei, Li Ying, Li Xian, and Li Li arrived and escorted them. Zuo Aoran then got down to business. He looked at the four of them and said, "Li Jue and Guo Si have surrendered. Are you four willing to surrender?"
Li Ying, Li Xian, and Li Li glanced at Li Jue, who nodded slightly, then stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Ying (Siam, Li) is willing to surrender!"
"Okay!" Zuo Aoran smiled and waved. Li Ying, Li Xian, and Li Li stood up and stood next to Li Jin's lowered hands.
Zuo Aoran looked at Yang Wei who was standing on the spot without saying a word, frowned and said: "Li Jue, Guo Si has surrendered, you, Yang Wei, are still not willing to surrender to me, Zuo Aoran?"
"Bah! You can only blame me, Yang Wei, for not being good at martial arts, otherwise I will kill you!" Yang Wei spat at Zuo Aoran.
Zuo Aoran was furious immediately, drew his sword in his hand, and said angrily: "How dare you, the defeated general, insult me!" He actually came to kill Yang Wei himself. Yang Wei looked at Zuo Aoran and raised his neck to be executed. Zuo Aoran was holding his sword under his sword.
Arms, one person kneels in front of him.
Zuo Aoran looked at Hu Che'er, who was holding onto his arm. Li Ru knelt in front of him, and Hu Che'er was the first to speak: "Such a sincere person can be tolerated."
Li Ru, who was kneeling on the ground, also said: "Confucian scholars know that General Yang Wei is a loyal and righteous man. I will protect him with my life and hope that the marshal will appease his anger."
Zuo Aoran suddenly threw his sword and laughed loudly: "I also know that General Yang Wei is a loyal and righteous man, so he is a good man!" Zuo Aoran stepped forward in person, released Yang Wei's bonds, and put his cloak on Yang Wei's body.
Looking at Yang Weidao: "Even if you kill my wife, I will not hold grudges!"
Yang Wei was deeply touched, and he knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Yang Wei is too blind to recognize his master. I hope your master will forgive me. Yang Wei is willing to surrender!"
"Hahaha! Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Zuo Aoran smiled and helped Yang Wei up, holding Yang Wei with one hand, and the two stood side by side. Although this was just a small movement, compared to others,
In the eyes of others, it was different, especially in the eyes of Yang Wei, Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si, Chen Yu and others.
Zuo Aoran briefly spoke a few words and arranged the follow-up reception work. Wu Xi was still stationed outside the west gate. Li Jue's nephew Hu Feng and Guo Si's more than 20,000 troops were stationed outside the south gate.
Qu was stationed outside the north gate, and stationed outside the east gate were 50,000 soldiers and horses of Zuo's army. Originally, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses in the camp. There were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City responsible for patrolling and security work in the city. Invisibly, Li
Jue, Guo Si's military power was emptied out, and after a simple arrangement, everyone went down to rest.
There was no book overnight, and four days passed so peacefully. On the day when the four generals Wenpin, Han Juzi, Niu Gang, and Zhao Cen returned, two bad news came in a row. The first bad news was that Zhang Xiu was ruthlessly killed.
The whole family of Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen totaled more than 700 people. Zuo Aoran also felt deeply regretful and ordered a grand burial for him, and went to pay his respects in person.
And this second bad news was that another old loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, died of illness. Huangfu Song's death of illness greatly shook Zuo Aoran's body and mind. He had once had an affair with Huangfu Song.
Although we had met each other a few times, although the impression was no longer deep, the face of the kind old man was still there!
Zuo Aoran sent the news back to Bingzhou. After receiving the news, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others rushed to Chang'an. Even Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, also came. He was far away in the north recruiting troops, buying horses, hoarding grass and grain, and preparing
Huangfu Li, who was attacking Li Jue and Guo Si, also rushed over after hearing that his uncle Huangfu Song had died of illness.
Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, buried Huangfu Song outside the east gate of Chang'an with royal rites. He ordered the big and small officials to attend the funeral and set up a monument on the side with a letter about his life achievements. Liu Bian, Zuo Aoran, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others paid homage in person.
They also jointly requested the emperor to commend Huangfu Song as the loyal king of the Han Dynasty and send officers to guard him.
It took a full thirteen days to complete all these matters. Huangfu Song's last words before his death were to let his son Huangfu Jian live a long life and his nephew Huangfu Li to follow Zuo Aoran. After being an old loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Zuo Aoran naturally accepted it happily.
.
On this day, Hongnong King Liu Bian was sitting on the dragon chair. Zuo Aoran and all his officials had finished paying homage. Liu Xie withdrew from the court and drove back to the harem. All the officials had already retired from the palace. Only then did Zuo Aoran lead himself
All the civil and military men under his command returned to Chang'an Mansion. Zuo Aoran now lived in Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian's mansion. This used to be his senior brother's home, so Zuo Aoran was naturally not polite!
Zuo Aoran was the first to enter the lobby. He naturally took a seat in the middle, and the others filed in. Normally, they should be standing on the left and right sides, but now it is different. I didn’t expect that my senior brother was so rich. In the living room
There was actually furniture (Grand Master's Chair) designed by Zuo Aoran earlier, and there were more than thirty of them, so those people under Zuo Aoran's command were very lucky, they all sat down, and they were a little uncomfortable at first, but, Zuo Aoran
Ran firmly believes that - habits become natural!
Everyone was seated, Zuo Aoran went straight to the topic and said: "Li Jue, Guo Si, I, Zuo Aoran, am not someone who burns bridges by crossing rivers. I will tell you what I have to say to your face. I can guarantee that you two will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
I could kill you two now. Why I didn't choose the latter? It's entirely because you two were able to choose to surrender voluntarily and reduce unnecessary casualties. From this point, I can see the true nature of you two.
, not those stubborn people! Do you two understand what I mean?"
