Chapter 252: The Three Covenants of Tushan
"This surname is different, this person doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he likes to sit there with a book and read it when he has nothing to do. Although he couldn't see the title, the pages were so old that it felt like it had been turned hundreds of times, but he could still read it. This kind of person is really rare! ”
After reporting the situation of these two people, seeing that Huaxing just nodded lightly and did not continue to ask, Zhang Liao took the opportunity to ask:
"By the way, master, there is something I have forgotten to ask. At the beginning, Guan Yu's conditions were so excessive, why did you agree to him? ”
Because there were too many things in the first two days, Zhang Liao always wanted to ask but didn't have a chance.
Today finally let him catch the time, and threw out the doubts that had plagued him for days.
Hearing the other party ask about this, Hua Xing's eyes suddenly became complicated, and a light sigh came out of his mouth.
To be honest, when he first heard the terms of surrender proposed by Guan Yu, Huaxing also thought that the other party's request was too much.
If you refuse to serve, Guan Yu actually said bluntly that if there is a chance in the future, he will come to himself for revenge!
With such a "white-eyed wolf" condition, it is impossible for anyone to be comfortable after hearing about it.
But after thinking twice, Huaxing finally did not refuse the other party.
Because it was this harsh condition that reminded him of the "Three Covenants of Tushan".
The allusion occurred in the history when Liu Bei did not die.
Once, Liu Beijun lost the battle, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang were scattered by Cao Cao's army. Guan Yu was more unlucky, and he happened to be caught by Cao Cao.
After being arrested, in order to protect several sisters-in-law of his peers, Guan Yu had no choice but to accept Cao Cao's surrender.
However, just like the day before yesterday, before surrendering, Guan Yu and Cao Cao also put forward several requirements, commonly known as the "Three Covenants of Tushan":
First, he surrendered to the Han and not to Cao, and never served Cao Cao;
second, the two sisters-in-law (Liu Bei's wife) must be kept safe;
Third, once Liu Bei's whereabouts are learned in the future, no matter how many miles away, he will go to the soup and go to the fire.
I have to say that except for the second point, the remaining two conditions are also full of "white-eyed wolf" attributes, which are very similar to the conditions he proposed with Huaxing a few days ago.
It is not difficult to see that Guan Yu did not put forward such conditions for Hua Xingcai, but his style of action was like this.
Whether it is facing Cao Cao or dealing with Huaxing, if you want this person to surrender, you have to accept this strange condition.
So after figuring this out, Huaxing felt a lot better.
Besides, Cao Cao was able to agree to this matter open-mindedly in order to be virtuous, so why should he be prosperous?
So after a short period of thought, Huaxing didn't care anymore and agreed.
But in the face of Zhang Liao, Huaxing will definitely not be so detailed.
Especially regarding the matter of the Three Covenants of Tushan, on the current historical line, it has never happened at all, and it will not happen in the future, and it is useless to say it.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Huaxing simply replied:
"Guan and Zhang are extraordinary in martial arts, and they are both loyal and righteous people, Hua is sincerely admired. If I hadn't agreed that day, the two of them would probably have died on the battlefield, which is a pity. Therefore, although the condition was excessive, in order not to let the two of them sacrifice in vain, I still agreed. ”
For this fellow with strong martial arts, Zhang Liao actually has a sense of sympathy.
To be honest, he didn't want Guan Yu to die on the battlefield in vain.
Therefore, after listening to Huaxing's words, he immediately nodded approvingly:
"What the master said is extremely true! It's a shame that such a brave man dies like this. But...... Anyway, he's your enemy. Aren't you worried that he will come to you for revenge in the future? ”
Faced with Zhang Liao's worries, Huaxing just smiled slightly, shook his head and replied:
"Gongsun Zhan's stronghold is far away in Youzhou, and it takes a month to go back and forth, how can he come here? Besides, if it weren't for the little emperor to get in the way, Gongsun Chan wouldn't have time to pay attention to us. So in a short period of time, they are also powerless, and it is impossible for them to run to take revenge. Of course, taking a step back, even if they do come, what is there to be afraid of? Just like this time, won't we be done with him running away? ”
"Hehe, that's right! It seems that Wen Yuan is worried. Hearing Huaxing's words, Zhang Liao quickly showed a look of relief.
But not everyone is like this, as soon as Zhang Liao's voice fell, Tang Sheng, who was sitting on the side, frowned, and said with a little confusion:
"General Hua, I appreciate and understand your cherished talents. But if you don't drop or kill, you just keep it closed, isn't that a waste of food? Including the wounded soldiers, there are currently more than 2,000 prisoners of war held in the prison area, and they have to eat two or three truckloads of military rations every day. If it goes on like this, then we will lose too much, right? ”
"Loss?"
Hearing this, a mysterious smile immediately appeared on Huaxing's face:
"Hehe, General Tang, when did you see me make a loss-making deal? Hehe, go! Let's go to them for food! ”
After speaking, Hua Xing immediately got up and walked quickly towards the prisoner of war camp outside the village with everyone looking at each other.
……
Three days have passed since the end of the fighting, and today is the first time that Huaxing has entered the prison area.
As the commander in chief of the army, as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the prisoners of war.
There was no need to deliberately greet them, as long as the soldiers who could walk on their own legs and feet quickly gathered.
In just seven or eight minutes, 16,700 people gathered in front of the stage, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Hua Xing took the initiative to stand on a high platform, and took out a conical wooden horn from behind him, and shouted at the people in front of him:
"Hello everyone! I'm Huaxing, and I'm here today because I want to communicate with you about a few things. ”
After a simple opening sentence, seeing that everyone gradually quieted down, Hua Xingcai raised the horn in his hand and continued:
"Our army has always cherished talents and loved talents, although we were enemies before, but as long as you are willing to put aside your prejudices, we will always raise our hands to welcome you to join. So, I would like to ask you first, is there anyone willing to volunteer to join our village? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant buzz in the audience, but it was limited to the exchange of heads, and no one stepped forward to respond.
Seeing this, Hua Xing, who had already expected this scene, was not disappointed, but called Tang Sheng to the stage and asked him to tell everyone about the treatment of his soldiers.
To tell the truth, because the Huaxing Army is very rich economically, the treatment they give to the soldiers is definitely the most generous in the world. Compared with Gongsun Zhanjun, it is almost twice as high.
Therefore, after listening to Tang Sheng's explanation, many soldiers in the audience showed envy.
But envy is envy, and another minute has passed, and no one in the field has responded.
