When Guo Jia said this, Gao Shun, who was standing behind Lu Bu, couldn't help but take a step forward, but he didn't speak.

Lu Bu seemed to be a little moved, but he had a lot of concerns: "If I surrender to the general, can I really be reused?" ”

"That's nature." Guo Jia said, for example: "The general should know that General Gongsun Chan is the general who led the white horse to surrender. Now he is my lord's guest, commanding the white horse cavalry of his headquarters, invincible, and repeatedly performing miraculous feats, how can the general ever treat him badly? What's more, General Lu thinks that he can't compare to Gongsun Zhan? ”

"Humph!"

Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant does have some combat power, but why should I, Lu Bu, be afraid?" If I play alone, I can beat him completely. ”

Guo Jia said: "That's it, the general will definitely be reused when he surrenders." ”

........

Lu Bu was already worried about what happened after returning to Yanzhou, and Guo Jia's arrival pointed him out a clear way. Taking the initiative to surrender sounds a bit bad about the reputation, but Xu Ding's strength is there, and the princes really can't fight, and he can't reach it. If not, where should we go?

After hesitating, he said: "This matter is very important, I can't just promise you." You give me a few days, and I will discuss it with the soldiers under my command, and then make a decision, what do you think? ”

"Okay."

Guo Jiaying is down.

Give Lu Bu a few days, and also give Xu some time to think about the placement of the princes from all walks of life. Because for the surrendered princes, there can be no big loss, and you have to consider the attitude of the generals under your command, which is very complicated.

One carelessness may lead to dissatisfaction among the generals or failure to persuade them to surrender.

Return to the Xu Ding camp.

Guo Jia talked about the process of persuading Lu Bu to surrender.

"It seems that Lu Fengxian is really going to descend?"

"If nothing else, it should be." Guo Jia smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the lord, after a few days, General Lu will think about it, and the lord can recover Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other regions without bloodshed." ”

"But... Can the lord consider the placement of Lu Bu? ”

Xu Ding got up and said, "I've been thinking about it too." I don't know what Lu Bu wants. Official position? Military power? Or is it an opportunity to make meritorious contributions? Whatever he wants, I can do my best, because he has made a great contribution by surrendering on his own initiative. ”

Guo Jia said: "If General Lu can hear the lord's words, he will definitely surrender immediately." ”

........

Celebrate for a few days.

Lu Bu and his generals have discussed many times, is it better to return to Yanzhou? Or is it better to submit to the promise?

Many generals believed that Xu Ding was too strong to be an enemy. If you return to the Central Plains, there will be war. At that time, they will inevitably fail, and not only will their wives and children be harmed, but they will also live and die.

This idea is overwhelming.

But there is also another idea, which is Gao Shun. He was only loyal to Lu Bu, and when Lu Bu said to surrender, he surrendered, but he was only Lu Bu's general and was unwilling to obey the dispatch of other officials. Lu Bu said that if he didn't surrender, he would fight to the end.

Lu Bu thought about it for a few days, and finally decided to --- surrender!

He personally went to the tent of Xu Ding.

After seeing Xu Ding, he knelt down and saluted: "General..." ”

"Why did General Lu make such a big gift? Get up. Xu Ding was taken aback by Lu Bu's actions. Lu Bu and he are both princes, how can there be a reason to bow down.

But then he realized that Lu Bu was about to descend when he put down his body.

"General... Oh no, my lord! Lu Bu said very simply: "A few days ago, Feng Xiao went to the last general, and persuaded the last general to take the initiative to surrender to the lord, and the last general thought about it for a few days, and also discussed with the generals under his command, and finally decided... The half of Xuzhou and Yanzhou will be given to the lord, and from now on, he is willing to serve the lord. ”

"Fengxian, what you said is true?" Rao is Xu Ding had already guessed, and he couldn't help but be excited at this time.

Lü Bu's surrender not only strengthened his strength, but also set an example for other princes.

The so-called general trend, the princes can't withstand the pressure, and they will definitely surrender.

"In front of the lord, how dare the last general joke?"

"Okay, good.... Xu Ding pulled Lu Bu to sit down and said, "With you joining, I will be more confident that I will dominate the mountains and rivers and return the people of the world to a bright future." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Bu nodded solemnly.

"You're so refreshing, I can't be ambiguous. Bongxian, what do you want, just say, money? Status? Or something else, as long as I have promised it, I will not hesitate. Xu Ding said suddenly.

"The last general will not dare."

Lu Bu still knows the rules, and the official position and authority should be promised, how can he claim it himself.

"If you dare or not, just say it." Xu Ding was happy in his heart, but he didn't think about it so much.

Lu Bu hesitated for a while, and then arched his hand: "If the lord trusts, the last general is willing to lead troops to guard here." By the way, the remnants of the Xiongnu were exterminated and the border troubles were completely solved. ”

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Xu Ding thought in his heart. Lü Bu was born in Jiuyuan County and was familiar with the Xiongnu. His martial arts are the best in the world, and no one can defeat him. Coupled with the army under his command, the Xiongnu were terrified. If he guards the grassland, he will definitely be able to establish miraculous feats.

This also allowed Xu Ding to completely stabilize the rear.

Xu Ding almost didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Okay, I promise you." Not only will you be stationed here, but it will also give you more troops... Teach me a good lesson to the rest of the Huns. In addition, I will ask Your Majesty to make you the general of Zhenbei and reward you with a thousand gold... ”

Xu Ding gave a whole bunch of benefits.

These benefits are much better than Dong Zhuo's flashy false rewards before.

It can be seen that Xu Ding really attaches importance to him.

It's really the same as Chen Gong said.

There is a lot of room for people.

It's the Lord.

"My lord, this... How will the end begin? Lu Bu got up modestly and said.

"If even you can't afford it, then who else in the world can?" Xu Ding patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I Xu Ding is not the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, you have made great contributions to me, and I will never be ungrateful." ”

"The last general will thank the lord."

"Hmm."

Lu Bu left happily.

This conversation was even better and smoother than he imagined. Xu Ding really valued him, not only gave him military power, but also made him the general of Zhenbei. You must know that this official position is very important. Absolute control of the real power.

"Buying horse bones depends on the reaction of the princes."

After Lu Bu left, Xu Ding thought in his thoughts. Lü Bu's surrender was to influence other princes. But in order to expand the influence, it is necessary to increase the reward for Lu Bu, so that everyone can rest assured.

..........

At the end of the celebration banquet, Lu Bu surrendered to him in front of all the soldiers according to Yuan Xi's request. Yuan Xi also named him the general of Zhenbei on the spot and rewarded him with a lot of things.

At the same time, he was sent to guard the steppe and continue to fight against the Xiongnu.

This matter immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others.

From their eyes, how could they not see that Lu Bu had already taken refuge in Xu Ding, and now he was just making a show.

But one thing is certain, Xu Ding is going to take action against the princes. Submit or perish.

After the matter ended.

Xu Ding gathered all the generals of the princes into the tent.

First toasted everyone with a bottle of wine, and then said: "Since the second emperor of Huan Ling, the thieves in the world have swarmed, the yellow turbans have been looting, there has been no peace for many years, and the people of the Central Plains are looking forward to it, hoping that the world will be unified and live a peaceful life." I am willing to take on this burden, I don't know what you think? ”

Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou, arched his hand and said: "The general is strong, and it is difficult for us to be the enemy. Wen Ping only said this, and did not dare to express his attitude.

In fact, everyone has concerns.

It's too early to say what to do.

In case the princes of all walks of life do not want to submit to obedience and have to fight, they are in a hurry to express their position, they have committed a big taboo, and they will have to be severely punished.

Xu Ding had long expected this situation and did not force him.

He invited the people to come, not to persuade them directly, but to test their hearts.

It is convenient to persuade the rest of the princes to surrender later.

"General Wenpin, I respect you." Xu Ding picked up the wine bottle.

"General Xie." Wen Ping drank it all.

At this time, Wei Yan stood up, he was bolder than Wen Ping, and said directly: "If the general does not dislike it, the last general is willing to submit to the general!" ”

Silence!

Everyone looked at Wei Yan.

Wen Ping was even more surprised: "Wen Chang, you..." ”

"Although Liu Biao is benevolent and righteous, he has no talent to help the world, and he has no strong strength. Presumably, the Central Plains will be the general's in the near future. Wei Yan surrendered early, what's wrong? Wei Yan questioned Wen Ping.

In fact, Wen Ping also wanted to surrender, but he was worried about Liu Biao's attitude.

Now that Wei Yan is doing this, it seems that he is hypocritical.

"Haha..." Xu Ding stepped forward with a smile and helped Wei Yan up: "What Wen Chang said is reasonable. With you on board, great things can be done. ”

Xu Ding looked at the rest of the people: "With this banquet today, I might as well make my words clear.

All the places in the Central Plains, sooner or later, I will be unified, and if the princes are unwilling to surrender, I will give them a chance to resist.

However, when the two armies fought, they inevitably died, and this consequence was caused by their reluctance to surrender, and naturally they had to bear the consequences. I hope that when you go back, you can advise your lords and fathers to express their stance as soon as possible, so that the strife and war of the Han Dynasty will end as soon as possible, and I will not treat them badly. ”

"Yes..."

The generals present were extremely embarrassed.

They should have made a promise, and they really felt threatened.

But thinking of Xu Ding's strength, they were helpless.

Maybe Wei Yan is right, Xu Ding is strong, and he is determined to win the world, and sooner or later he will be unified. Rather than be forced to surrender then, it is better to surrender now.

Zhou Yu got up and said, "General Xu is holding a banquet today, is he going to threaten me to wait?" Or is it... Want to purge dissidents in this tent? Zhou Yu has always been proud, he originally had prejudices with Xu Ding, but he was threatened at this time, but he didn't like it in his heart.

"No, with my current strength in Donglai, there is no need to threaten at all." Xu Ding had already seen that Zhou Yu seemed to be wrong.

The little guy is quite angry.

"Say goodbye below."

Zhou Yu suddenly gave up his hand and turned around to leave the tent. Sun Ce also followed.

"My lord..." Huang Zhong walked to Xu Ding's side, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

Xu Ding shook his head: "I just said that today's banquet is just for the people present to go back and bring a word, and there is no evil intention." Zhou Gongjin doesn't want to accept it, and I can't face each other with swords and axes, otherwise I won't be untrustworthy. ”

"Just let him go back." Xu Ding turned around and sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "It's not that I underestimate Wentai, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can't stop my Donglai army at all now."

These words not only show Xu Ding's attitude, but also remind everyone.

Xu Ding did not take any prince in his eyes.

The Sun family's navy has just been hit hard, and now it has to deal with Jingzhou, and it is unable to hold on.

............

The banquet ends.

Wei Yan stayed behind and once again showed his attitude.

Xu Ding said: "You surrendered to me in front of the generals today, which can be regarded as a great favor for me. Wen Chang, I will make you the lieutenant of Youzhou County, and you will be under the command of Cheng Yu, and there will be 500 taels of gold and 100,000 rewards, what do you think? ”

Xu Ding's shot is really generous.

Wei Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, lord." ”

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

Wei Yan retreated.

He didn't know that Xu Ding was very wary of him. The lieutenant of Youzhou County seems to have a lot of authority, but in fact he has to be under the control of Cheng Yu, and the transfer of the army also requires Cheng Yu's orders.

Putting Wei Yan under Cheng Yu is really a control over him.

A few days later.

The soldiers and horses of the princes from all walks of life are ready to return.

Xu Ding left Lü Bu behind, let him continue to fight against the remnants of the Xiongnu, and led his army back.

At the same time, the letters from Jia Xu and others from the Western Regions were also delivered 800 miles faster.

He went to the Western Regions with Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and others, and with the guidance of the Three Musketeers, it was very smooth.

It was also a lot of gains, first captured the front and rear Cheshi countries, cut off the retreat of the Xiongnu, and also killed the Xiongnu who fled to the Western Regions.

Other Xiongnu troops in the Western Regions were also ambushed by him and suffered a lot of losses.

"After all, he still didn't escape death, and for us, it can be regarded as a perfect ending." Guo Jia followed Xu Ding's side.

"The Xiongnu were fierce at first, but they were defeated in such a short period of time, except for the stupid frustration Qu Lielie who helped us, I am afraid that there is also the will of heaven in it." Xu Dingdao.

"The lord is right, the word providence is the most appropriate."

"Oh yes..." Xu Ding suddenly remembered: "Where are those Xianbei soldiers who surrendered now?" ”

"The subordinates have ordered General Gongsun to send them to Youzhou and hand them over to Cheng Yu to deal with. According to the previous policy towards prisoners, they may serve in the army, build official roads, the Great Wall... ”

"That's very good."

Xu Ding didn't ask much about the captives. Xianbei has long been dead, and the disposal of the surrendered troops can be handed over to Cheng Yu. His current mind has already flown to the Central Plains, where the princes of all walks of life are.

In order to dominate the world, or persuade surrender and submission, or start a war again, it will be realized in the next period of time.

The army returned to Youzhou.

Then go from Youzhou to Jizhou and cross the Yellow River in the east.

When he arrived in the territory of Donglai, Qingzhou, he was separated from all the princes.

Night.

In the tent.

Guo Jiajin said: "Now that the general trend is today, it has all returned to the lord. Only some princes are still hesitating, not knowing whether it is better to submit to the lord or to fight hard. At such times, the lord should give them some pressure. ”

"Bonghyo, what do you mean?"
