Chapter 144: Su Fei and Huang Zu
After learning about the matter between Su Fei and Huang Zu, Liu Zheng not only did not have a trace of dislike for Su Fei, but had a great curiosity about Su Fei.
"Hey, boy, look up and show me."
Liu Zheng glanced at Su Fei, his eyes stayed on Su Fei's body, and he looked at Su Fei carefully.
Liu Zheng didn't have much impression of Su Fei, but vaguely remembered that in many Three Kingdoms games, this person seemed to be a third-rate general.
It is a not-so-famous military general who belongs to Huang Zu's forces, and there are no too dazzling deeds, the only thing that impresses him a little is that it seems that this person has a good relationship with Jinfan thief Gan Ning.
He recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu many times, but unfortunately Huang Zu did not appoint Gan Ning because Gan Ning was born as a water thief, which caused Gan Ning to escape from Huang Zu's command and go to Sun Quan.
Later, Sun Quan defeated Huang Zu, Su Fei was captured by Sun Quan, and it was Gan Ning who vouched for his life, so that Su Fei was not killed by Sun Quan, and took refuge in Wu and became a member of Wu Guo.
Although Gan Ning became famous in history, Su Fei did not get the play he should have in the place where there were many ministers and famous generals in Wu because he did not have particularly outstanding talents.
In fact, it's not that Su Fei's talent is not good, but that he is a general himself. It was only after the development of Wu that he took refuge in Wu State, and his status was different from that of Gan Ning, so he could not be reused.
Now that Liu Zheng saw Su Fei, he suddenly had a heart of love for talents, and wanted to recruit this Su Fei to his command, after all, Huang Zu didn't seem to care too much about Su Fei, and even wanted to kill him for a while.
And Su Fei had just experienced the matter of being killed 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.
It makes Liu Zheng like it a lot.
After Liu Zheng shouted at Su Fei, Su Fei actually raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng's eyes.
Looking at each other, Su Fei's face did not show a sense of loss of defeat.
On the contrary, Su Fei's face was very calm, as if he had not been hit hard by the defeat of a battle.
"You don't think you're a captive right now."
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and although I am a prisoner, this defeat is not my fault, so I have nothing to regret. On the contrary, I have learned a lot of lessons, and the next time I meet them, I will definitely not lose so quickly. ”
Su Fei was also honest, and after hearing Liu Zheng's inquiry, he immediately opened his mouth to respond.
Liu Zheng nodded, and when he heard Su Fei's words, he was slightly surprised, and continued to ask Su Fei.
"I heard Huang Zu say just now, several of them are advocating fighting, why did you want to avoid fighting with us from the beginning, and just now others advocated breaking through, but you want to surrender, can you tell me your reasons?"
"There's nothing that can't be said about this, Huang Zu advocates fighting with you, in fact, I didn't object to it at first, after all, if you use ambush tactics, even if our forces are weaker than yours, we may not have the strength to fight."
"But later, you saw through our ambush plan, in the case of a huge gap in the number of soldiers and horses, the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Huang Zu's command are unlikely to be your opponents, this kind of battle with little chance of winning, even if it is forcibly fought, it will only increase casualties."
"And it is clearly hopeless to break through just now, insisting on this, it will only make all the remaining soldiers and horses lost, but it is better to surrender quickly, maybe you will spare your life."
Su Fei happily told Liu Zheng what he was thinking.
After seeing the strength of the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command, he could naturally easily understand that with these horses under Huang Zu, if he wanted to escape from Liu Zheng's 30,000 army, the difficulty was conceivable, and it was better to surrender directly, but it would be clean.
"You're smarter, and you're more discerning than a few of them."
After Su Fei finished speaking, Liu Zheng praised appreciatively.
"Originally, I didn't plan to attack Jiangxia, I came to Jiangxia just to take the road to Changsha County."
"But you guys actually set up an ambush here, forcing me to do it with you, and I, Liu Zheng, am not easy to mess with, if you want to beat me, you will have a fun with you, and you will end up with the result now, now it's okay."
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't plan to fight you, originally I planned to sell Huang Zhong a face and let him let you go, but you repeatedly challenged my patience, and just let you go for no reason, causing me to lose so many soldiers and horses, what do you think should be done with this matter?"
Liu Zheng looked at Su Fei with interest, and asked Su Fei, he wanted to ask Su Fei what to do with this result now.
After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Su Fei's face changed slightly.
Didn't speak.
Liu Zheng thought that Su Fei didn't hear clearly, so he spoke again.
"If you were me, what would you do with these people in this situation?"
Su Fei saw Liu Zheng ask again, and if he had some hesitation before, he also spoke at this time.
"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 reasons, if your reasons can convince me, I can indeed let Huang Zu go, anyway, the life and death of this guy is not particularly important to me."
"No, it's very important, a living Huang Zu is more important than a dead one, and it will play a greater role in Qu Shuai."
"Oh? How so? ”
"Although Huang Zu is not Jiangxia's Taishou, but the Huang family, the family behind Huang Zu, is the largest family in Jiangxia, and its strength is not much better than that of Taishou, and the most important thing is that Huang Zu is the current head of the Huang family, if Qu Shuai kills Huang Zu, it is tantamount to offending the people of the Huang family."
"The military general Huang Zhong under your command is also a member of the Huang family, come to think of it, Qu Shuai doesn't want to see his generals embarrassed, let Huang Zu leave, he will definitely be able to get the favor of the Huang family, and at the same time get a lot of money and food, Qu Shuai is the Yellow Turban Army, there must be a lack of money and food, use Huang Zu in exchange for some money and food, it will definitely only be more than Cai Mao, not less."
Liu Zheng caught Cai Mao before, and then let Cai Mao go, and let Cai Mao pay the ransom, although not many people know about it, but many people who have some ears and eyes can still know.
Su Fei and Huang Zu, who had some power in Jiangxia, were naturally able to know these things.
When Liu Zheng heard that he could exchange Huang Zu for money and food, his eyes suddenly lit up, but now Liu Zheng is not very short of money, and this bit of money is not as attractive as before.
