Standing at the height of the canyon, Zhao Fan looked at the soldiers who had laid down their weapons below, and were lining up to accept the reception of the Luoyang Army, and couldn't help but feel like they were in a dream.

The vigorous offensive and defensive battle of Luoyang City ended dramatically like this, but Zhao Fan understood that this time it was just a fluke, no one took him, the so-called King of Shou, in his eyes, and it was the light enemy again and again that completely dragged the enemy into the abyss of defeat.

What makes Zhao Fan feel a little unaccustomed is that in the recent short period of time, there have been several historical celebrities who have died directly or indirectly in his hands.

Ma Yin, Sun Ru, Li Congli, these people are all famous and ruthless people in the official history, but now they died in their own hands inexplicably, this feeling makes Zhao Fan feel quite weird.

The reception of the captives was unusually smooth, although the two sides had fought to the death, but it was just their own master, which was a very common thing in that era, so there was no contradiction between everyone.

As for this Ma Jianying, he can be regarded as a man, and he ran to Zhao Fan to ask for guilt with Sun Ru's head.

According to Zhao Fan's understanding, this Ma Jianying did not cut off Sun Ru's head to defect to himself because of the seller's pursuit of glory, but there was a deeper reason.

Although Ma Yin, Li Congli, Ma Jianying, Xu Dexun, Liu Jianfeng and others are all known as Sun Ru's confidants, Ma Jianying can only be regarded as an outsider.

Because Ma Jianying is actually said to be Qin Zongquan's person, although he was pulled up by Sun Ru, he is a fellow villager of Qin Zongquan, so Sun Ru has always been wary of him.

Fortunately at the beginning, Qin Zongquan's soldiers were strong and strong, and as Qin Zongquan's fellow countryman, Ma Jianying was also favored by Sun Ru, but as Qin Zongquan was deeply trapped in the Huainan battlefield and Sun Ru was powerful, Sun Ru's respect for Qin Zongquan was no longer what it used to be, so correspondingly, Ma Jianying also became a marginal figure of Sun Rujun.

The worst thing is Ma Jianying's subordinate soldiers, which are all the fathers and villagers he brought out from his hometown, and now he has lost so much here, and Sun Ru killed his own personal guard captain, so he is not very depressed.

In order to save the lives of other soldiers, he could only exchange Sun Ru's life for a chance to survive.

And Sun Ru's original plan was to take the opportunity of attacking Luoyang City to weaken him, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him and take the opportunity to swallow his men and horses, but the sky did not obey people's wishes, he actually capsized in this gutter and died tragically in the valley on the outskirts of Luoyang City.

So on the whole, this Ma Jianying is not too bad, although it seems that there is something wrong with the main general who killed himself to come and ask for surrender, but in this troubled world, this is just a very normal thing.

And Ma Jian's only request for surrender was to save the lives of these cavalrymen, which shows that this person is quite affectionate and righteous.

"Lord, it's time to go."

Just as Zhao Fan was pondering, Xu Yong rushed over from the bottom of the mountain and whispered in his ear.

"Then let's go."

So there was a rather spectacular picture outside Luoyang City, where 6,000 Luoyang defenders drove 20,000 rebels and began to rush back slowly.

And Ma Jianying sat on the war horse given by Zhao Fan, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Zhao Fan.

……

"Lord Wang, what should we do next?" Qiao Xinchao sat on the horse's head, looked at the queue with no end in sight, and said with some worry, "Our 6,000 people are pressing 20,000 people, if something happens, we won't have time to cry." ”

"Otherwise, let's ......" Scar glanced around and made a neck wiping motion.

"I also think this is too dangerous, Lord Wang, Scar's opinion, you can refer to it." Xu Yong glanced at Ma Jianying and said loudly deliberately.

When Ma Jianying heard this, his face did not change, not only did he not be anxious as everyone imagined, but closed his eyes slightly.

"Okay, don't tease General Ma." Zhao Fan glared at everyone and said helplessly.

"I said Lao Ma, are you so relieved of the prince?" Xu Yonghu glanced at Ma Jianying suspiciously, and asked with some disbelief.

Ma Jianying opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Since I have surrendered to the prince, then I will be the prince's person, if the prince kills me, I will admit it." ”

"And I believe that with the prince's character, since he has promised me, he will never break his word."

Qiao Xinchao glanced at Ma Jianying appreciatively, and secretly said in his heart, this person is aware of current affairs.

In fact, when Ma Jianying cut off Sun Ru's head, he had no way to retreat, Qin Zongquan could no longer tolerate him, and Sun Ru's old subordinates could not tolerate him.

His only choice is to follow Zhao Fan, maybe he can still have a glimmer of life, and even have the opportunity to mix with an official and a half-job, after all, Zhao Fan is a genuine prince, a real royal family, not a rebel and thief like Qin Zongquan can be compared.

Let me ask, if you can be an official soldier, then who wants to be a rebel?

The Chinese people have always had the lowest requirements, but as long as there is free food to eat and a place to live, then they will never be able to rebel, on the other hand, every rebellion in history is because of natural and man-made disasters, and it has become extremely difficult for the common people to survive, so that the peasant name uprising will break out.

If there is a choice, who wants to risk losing their head and grab that bite of food?

Throughout the later generations of China, in just 40 years, it has become the world's second largest economy, without any colonization, nor any plunder, relying on the uprooting of tens of millions of migrant workers, as well as the environmental output of the entire Chinese nation, to earn back foreign exchange dime by dime, only then has the national strength is strong, and there is the re-emergence of the Chinese nation.

Therefore, Zhao Fan believes that as long as he does not make any mistakes of principle and can give these soldiers a good environment and a bright future, he does not have to worry about what problems will happen to them, and even if someone wants to instigate them to betray, it will be impossible.

They are not soldiers of any profession, they are just a group of ordinary people who are forced by life to join the rebels and fight for a way to live for their families, at the cost of their lives.

Zhao Fan looked at the people around him, thinking of the people in Luoyang City who supported him, and he suddenly felt that his shoulders were so heavy.

Seeing the cruelty of the war, Zhao Fan's mentality is gradually changing at this moment, perhaps as the saying goes, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone.

Looking at the sunset that was about to set in the distance, Zhao Fan felt that since the sky had given him this opportunity, then he, Zhao Fan, would be a person who would help the world from now on!
