"What? Zhang He and Gao Ran were arrested? After hearing the news, Pei Qing was suddenly surprised, because he knew the ability of the two generals, especially Zhang He, who was one of Cao Wei's five good generals, and in the later period, he was even more brilliant, the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan was killed, Zhang He temporarily commanded the army to retreat in an orderly manner, and the battle of Jieting was a big break in the Shu army, forcing Zhuge Liang to tear and kill Ma Yan, this is a figure that even Zhuge Liang is deeply afraid of, but it is a pity that Sima Yi already had ambitions at that time, and he couldn't tolerate him, Zhuge Liang also wanted to get rid of him, Therefore, such a great general who had made great achievements in battle was killed by an arrow under Sima Yi's forced pursuit and Zhuge Liang's calculation.

As for Gao Ran, although there has been no news since the surrender of Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, since he is a figure as famous as Zhang He, it will naturally not be too bad.

So how can Pei Qing not pay attention to a character like this? He immediately ordered Xun You to send the two to Chang'an, and he personally disposed of the two people.

After waiting for several days in Pei Qing's heart, he finally waited for the news that Zhang He and Gao Ran were sent to Chang'an.

Pei Qing was very happy, and immediately ordered Zhang He and Gao Ran to be escorted to his mansion, and finally met these two people.

"Oh, didn't I say that I would treat the two generals well? How do you treat it like that? ”

After Pei Qing finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and prepared to unbind Zhang He in person.

In fact, without being introduced by others, Pei Qing could see the light of wisdom in Zhang He's eyes, so he immediately determined his identity.

"General Zhang, you have been wronged, I didn't explain it to them clearly, and I apologize to you here." Pei Qing smiled all over his face, and at the same time prepared to untie Zhang He.

However, when he saw Zhang He, he suddenly said: "You don't have to be like this, I, Zhang He, will not surrender." ”

But I saw Xu Chu on the side shouting loudly: "Bold, my lord gives you face, you dare to treat it like this, is it really true that Xu Chu doesn't exist?" ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency is the famous 'Tiger Idiot' Xu Chu, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today, but no matter how strong you are, you can only kill me, but you can't force me to submit." Zhang He's face was full of pride, and he said to Pei Qing: "I, Zhang He, would rather die than surrender, my loyalty to Yuan Gongzhi is like the sun and moon in the sky, if you want to kill, you will kill, don't be so pretended." ”

"Oh? In this case, then so-and-so will no longer detour, yes, I do hope that General Zhang can surrender to me, so I will be so polite, maybe you don't know what kind of treatment the generals under my command usually have, so they insist on not surrendering, even so, then I will tell you about their treatment. ”

Then Pei Qing told Zhang He about the preferential treatment of the generals and soldiers, and I have to say that even the treatment of ordinary soldiers in Pei Qing's army is more generous than that of the hundred generals under Yuan Shao, because his soldiers can have tax-free privileges, and they are relatively strict in terms of military merit, and there will never be a situation where anyone dares to take the lead in military merit, so as long as the soldiers dare to fight and use it for meritorious service, they will definitely be treated fairly.

However, in this way, there is no situation where the generals are full of their own pockets, so relatively speaking, the treatment of the generals under Pei Qing's command has declined.

However, because the generals under Pei Qing's command have never used this method to make money for themselves, and they treat the soldiers very fairly, so the soldiers are all willing to serve, and the victory rate in the battle is high, and it is easier to make military achievements, so from this point of view, the treatment of the generals can be regarded as improved.

Zhang He was still quite envious of the treatment of these generals under Pei Qing, but because of the concern in his heart, Zhang He still didn't have any reaction, that is, he refused to surrender.

"Could it be that General Zhang still hopes that Yuan Shao will save you until now? All I can say is pity for your faithfulness, and your hope cannot be left again. Pei Qing's face was full of regret and said with a sigh.

Zhang He was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Pei Qing's words, he was full of confidence in Yuan Shao, and said proudly: "What do you mean by this? How do you know that the lord will not save me? I believe that the lord will definitely find a way to negotiate this matter with you, and I believe that I will definitely be able to return to Jizhou. ”

At this time, I saw Pei Qing with an unbearable look on his face, and said to Zhang He: "General Zhang, General Gao, there is something I didn't want to say, because this matter is too cruel, but it's not a way to hide it all the time, what you should know is still to let you know, the two generals may not know yet, a few days ago, Yuan Shao ordered that the two generals and their families be beheaded, and the female dependents were assigned as official slaves, I really can't do anything about the men of your family, and your female dependents, I am mobilizing the power in my hands to rescue at any cost...... ”

"What, what? How can it be? Gao Ran's face was full of disbelief when he heard this, and he said in a lost voice.

But Zhang He gently comforted: "Brother Gao Xian doesn't have to be so excited, the news may not be true, maybe someone deliberately deceived each other with this." ”

Then Zhang He looked at Pei Qing and said lightly: "Pei Gong has to make up a reasonable reason even if he makes up a reason, right?" Why did my lord kill my family, is it that if we are captured, our family will suffer this fate? There has never been such a rule in our army. ”

"Yes, yes," Gao Ran also reacted at this time, and said to Pei Qing: "In order to achieve the goal of not telling people, Pei Gong actually used such despicable means to deceive people, which is really a bit unfair, I originally thought you were a good person, but now I know that you are a big liar." ”

But seeing Pei Qing smiled bitterly: "Two generals, this time you really wronged me, this is not something I made up to deceive, what Yuan Shao did is already known to the world, this is a notice posted by Yuan Shao in Yecheng, and it was taken down and sent over at a huge cost by the detailed work I sent to Yecheng, whether it is true or not, you will know at a glance." ”

After finishing speaking, Pei Qing took a roll of paper from the bookcase, then slowly unfolded it, and said to Zhang He and Gao Ran: "Whether it is true or not, the two generals will know at a glance." ”

Zhang He and Gao Ran took a look at this and knew that what Pei Qing said was true, it turned out that someone slandered them for colluding with Xun You in advance, which led to Gao Gan's defeat on the front line, and now Zhang He and Gao Ran have almost become the public enemies of the whole Jizhou, and everyone is accusing them of betraying their masters to seek glory, and Yuan Shao arrested their family members on such charges, and then sentenced them to cruel punishment.

"Father, mother, you died so miserably, I swear that I must avenge you, if you don't avenge this, I swear not to be a human being!" Gao Ran cried when he saw the notice, and said through gritted teeth: "This must be Gao Gan's slander against us, but the lord, bah, it was Yuan Shao who was so confused, he believed his words without even investigating, and killed my whole family, and his responsibility must not be erased, Brother Zhang, no matter what you think, I Gao Ran has decided, and from now on I will take refuge under Pei Gong's account, but there is only one request, and I ask Pei Gong to agree." ”

"I know what General Gao wants to say, please rest assured, General Gao, I will definitely give you a chance to take revenge." Pei Qing said to Gao Ran, Gao Ran.

"Brother Zhang, what about you? The enmity of your parents is not shared, are you still loyal to this mediocre person? Gao Ran saw that Zhang He still didn't speak after announcing his surrender, and then shouted: "If you are still loyal to Yuan Shao's dog thief in this case, don't say that you are my brother in the future, I Gao Ran is ashamed of this!" ”
