"Big boss, I found a large group of people stationed in front, and I looked like officers and soldiers from the direction of Mount Tai."

"It's coming so fast!" Zhu Tong gasped, he had just taken Su Shuang and them down the mountain not long ago, and the direction of Mount Tai had already gathered all the people to Laiwu, if he hesitated a little, it was estimated that it would not be long before others were attacking the cottage.

"When the order goes down, they all stop moving forward and call someone to invite Mr. Su and Mr. Zhang."

After a while, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping came to Zhu Tong, and after some tidying up, Su and Zhang were no longer in their previous embarrassment.

"Two gentlemen, there is Lord Su's camp in front, please come with me to meet Lord Su."

"Alright, let's go with the big boss." After Su and Zhang glanced at each other, Su Shuang said.

……

"Report ——, tell your lordship that there are three people from the other camp, and some of them claim to be named Su Shuang, who is an old friend of the adult, and these three people have been controlled."

"Oh? Is Su Daguan okay? Did you say there were only three people in the group, or did they come from the opposing camp? ”

"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

"Please!"

After the herald left, Su Xiu looked at Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”

"It seems that I want to congratulate the lord, this time I can solve the Dragon Village without bloodshed."

"Do you also think Zhu Tong is here to surrender?"

"Well, that's exactly what we're doing. This Zhu Tong is still sober-minded, and it is not for nothing that this dragon village can sit firmly on the three major cottages of Mount Tai. ”

"Do you think I should accept his surrender? After all, this Zhu Tong is not Li Tie, the kind of person who has no great evil. ”

"I don't think it's a big deal, so let's just think it's a horse bone. The lord wants to pacify Mount Tai quickly, and it is the best choice for us to accept Zhu Tong's invitation, so that my Taishan boy will have less war damage, and then he will have more strength on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Besides, if we can even accept Zhu Tong, then Zhao'an will be smoother in the future. However, like Zhu Tong, who was once an evil bandit, the lord can be gracious and powerful, so it can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Taishan, and secondly, it can better win people's hearts, I think the lord should be handy. ”

Su Xiu's use of Zhang Fu to kill chickens and monkeys before was actually similar to what Xi Zhicai said, it was a big stick and a date, so Xi Zhicai believed that Su Xiu could handle Zhu Tong's invitation to surrender very well.

After a short time, the herald took Zhu Tong, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping to Su Xiu's Chinese army camp tent, only to see Su Xiu sitting in the middle of the camp tent, Xi Zhicai and Yu Ban on both sides, Zhu Tong saw Su Xiu's actions at this time, and knew that Su Xiu probably understood his thoughts.

"Sinner Zhu Tong, meet the county guard."

"Master Zhu, please get up, I am about to lead troops to attack the mountain, Master Zhu is here at this time, I don't know what you are doing?" Su Xiu responded lightly.

"Tang Biao, the subordinate of the criminals, saw the wealth, and actually robbed the adult's war horse, I reprimanded Tang Biao after I knew, this time the criminals returned the war horse and escorted the two gentlemen, and I hope that the adult will forgive me for the crime of not knowing."

"Oh? The sin of not knowing? Does Master Zhu think that I, Su Xiu, am easy to bully? You kill people and rob horses, and then tell me that you don't know, how do you let me explain to the two gentlemen behind you? If every cottage is like this, who would dare to cooperate with me Taishan? You don't know where to put my Taishan in such a fluttering sentence? ”

Zhu Tong heard that the sweat came down, according to Su Xiu, then what they committed this time was really too big, so big that destroying his Dragon Descending Village was not enough to calm the anger of Taishan County.

Zhu Tong hurriedly looked at Su Shuang and the two of them, only hoping that the two of them could help him say a few good words. Zhu Tong was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to take the lives of nearly 5,000 brothers in the entire Dragon Descending Village.

"Master Su, can you listen to the next word?" Su Shuang is not the kind of person who falls into the well, since he promised Zhu Tong to help him intercede before, it doesn't hurt to give him a favor.

"Su Daguan has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, this time I made you suffer, Su Mou will definitely give Mr. justice." Su Xiu saw that Su Shuang had something to say, and her face suddenly improved a lot.

"Thank you for your love. Although we suffered a lot of casualties this time, it was indeed Tang Biao who did it without the knowledge of Zhu Da Dang, who immediately invited us out and respected him as a guest after knowing it, and the big boss also reprimanded Tang Biao, and now he is taking the whole village of Descending Dragon Village to return to the lord. I have discussed with Brother Zhang Shi, this loss is within the tolerable range, can you spare Zhu Da for the sake of changing his past? ”

"Why did Su Daguan intercede for him? It must be known that his actions have a very bad impact on the development of my Taishan, and Su Mouwan can't let this matter affect my Taishan's cooperation with others. ”

"The adult is the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can the belly be comparable to others, in the past, the Duke of Qi Huan reused Guan Zhong and became the hero, and the Duke of Jin Wen forgave Bo Yu (dī) and avoided civil strife, although Zhu Da is not as good as the former sage, but this can also show the broad mind of the adult, how can such a person be unwilling to cooperate? Adults are worried. ”

(Guan Zhong once assisted the prince of Qi to compete with Duke Qi Huan for the position of monarch, and after the defeat, Duke Qi Huan ignored his previous suspicions and followed Bao Shuya's suggestion to appoint Guan Zhong as the minister of state, which is the story of Qi dominating; When Duke Wen of Jin fled, Bo Ba cut off his sleeves, and later succeeded in becoming the monarch with the help of Qin Mugong, and did not punish Bo Ba, in order to repay Bo Ba in Lu Province and Xuan Rui when they rebelled, he sent this matter to Jin Wen Announcement. If you are interested, you can check it out. ）

"Since both gentlemen have pleaded with you, I can't refute the face of the two gentlemen. But my Taishan County has always had clear rewards and punishments, Zhu Tong, you and Tang Biao must apologize to all the soldiers and civilians in Taishan, and must be punished with 200 lashes in public, do you have any complaints? ”

"Zhu Tong has thanked the lord for his life, as long as the lord can allow me to surrender to Longzhai, even if I die, I will have no complaints, not to mention two hundred lashes." Zhu Tong saw that Su Xiu finally relented, and hurriedly said.

Yu Ban didn't speak from beginning to end next to him, if he hadn't heard Xi Zhicai's advice to Su Xiu before, just looking at the situation in this big tent, who would have thought that this was originally a plot that had been thought of accepting Toucheng a long time ago? Even Yu Ban once thought that Su Xiu was going to accept Zhu Tong.

"Alas, it's really difficult for people to play tactical strategy, so it's better to be a martial artist in a down-to-earth manner." Yu Ban thought so.

……

Accepting Zhu Tong's surrender, Taishan's recruitment plan was really as smooth as Xi Zhicai envisioned. After eliminating the bandits whose bad habits are difficult to change, the actual strength of Taishan County has reached 45,000. However, after strictly implementing Su Xiu's strategy of hiding troops, the strength of the troops presented to the outside world was only 13,000.

Due to the continuous division and disintegration of Mount Tai, there are less than 10,000 bandits in Taishan County, including Wang Bao's Tianwang Village. The entire Taishan County has completely stabilized, and Su Xiu is rarely idle, thinking that now that the war horse has gradually been in place, it is time for those few things to appear.

He Wang finally got his wish and got the first batch of war horses, but he didn't really use all the five hundred war horses for his cavalry battalion, but generously distributed a hundred war horses to Langya. He Wang knew very well the status of the wolf's tooth in Su Xiu's heart, and it was impossible for him to affect his senses in Su Xiu's heart for a little war horse.

Under the planning of Xi Zhicai, the number of bandits in Taishan County is decreasing day by day, until the third year of Zhongping, the last cottage can no longer be supported, and finally surrendered to Su Xiu, since then Taishan can be regarded as truly and completely controlling the whole county of Taishan, and what Su Xiu has to do next is to work hard to train an elite army, so as to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion that will occur soon.
