Chapter 484: Carrots and Sticks

"Prime Ministerβ€”"

Zhang He woke up in shock and opened his mouth to persuade him, but Su Zhe raised his hand and signaled him to say more.

Zhang He's words were blocked when he came to his mouth, and he watched Ju Yi being carried to the oil pot, but he didn't dare to squeak anymore, and deep fear surged behind him, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

In the blink of an eye, Ju Yi had been lifted high, and below him was the hot oil pot, just waiting for Su Zhe to give an order, the soldiers would throw him into the oil pot and fry him into a pile of white bones.

At this moment, Ju Yi really felt fear, and in his life, he had never been so desperate to ask for life.

It's no wonder that he was captured before, and he didn't plan to submit to Su Zhe, so he was determined to die, so he was naturally not afraid of death.

But now, he has decided to submit to Su Zhe, and his belief in death has long been gone, and it is not surprising that he clearly wants to live, but he has to die.

"Alas, if I had known this, I should have come down early, and why did I end up with such a tragic death now, alas-"

Ju Yi's heart swelled with infinite remorse, and under the invasion of fear, his body couldn't help but tremble.

He knew that he was dead, so he had to close his eyes and wait for the moment when death came, with extreme fear.

Su Zhe's hand was already raised high, and he only had to drop it lightly to kill Ju Yi.

Moreover, it can make his death extremely miserable.

Looking at the trembling body, the corners of Su Zhe's mouth raised an imperceptible sneer, but he said, "Put him down." ”

At the critical moment, Su Zhe didn't kill him.

Zhang He was overjoyed, let out a long breath, and looked at Su Zhe with puzzled eyes, not understanding what he meant.

Ju Yi's body was also shocked, and he fell into ecstasy, his mind was blank, until he was put down from the oil pot and stood in front of Su Zhe, he was still depressed.

"Untie him." Su Zhe flicked his hand.

The left and right soldiers untied the shackles of Juyi, and this arrogant Hebei famous general realized that he had actually walked out of the ghost gate and escaped death.

In an instant, his whole body went limp, as if he had collapsed, his knees fell to the ground, and he fell to his knees in front of Su Zhe.

Su Zhe looked down at him and said coldly: "Ju Yi, do you really want to surrender to me." ”

Ju Yi nodded again and again, and hurriedly bowed down, and said tremblingly: "Of course, the last general wants to sincerely obey the prime minister, go to the soup for the prime minister, and never give up." ”

Su Zhe didn't speak, pacing with his hands in his hands, as if he was weighing whether to kill him or not.

Ju Yi's back was covered with cold sweat, and his heart rose to his throat, for fear that Su Zhe would kill him again and put him back on the oil pot.

After a while, Su Zhe stopped, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance for Zhang He's sake of interceding for you, and I hope you can be reborn from now on and make meritorious contributions." ”

Ju Yi was overjoyed, kept kowtowing to Su Zhe, and shouted gratefully: "Thank you Prime Minister for giving the last general this opportunity, my Ju Yi's life will be the prime minister's from now on, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, never frown." ”

Looking at Ju Yi, who was afraid of submission, the corners of Su Zhe's mouth rose, and a little smug flashed in his eyes.

Zhang He looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and it wasn't until he saw Su Zhe's inadvertent smug smile that he suddenly realized and understood Su Zhe's intention to do this.

Su Zhe's original intention was naturally to accept Ju Yi, but he was afraid that Ju Yi was arrogant, and it was difficult to control after the surrender, and it would become a thorn in the head.

Therefore, Su Zhecai gave Ju Yi a dismount, completely shocked Ju Yi, shattered Ju Yi's pride, and made him surrender with fear and gratitude.

Zhang He, who wanted to understand, couldn't help nodding secretly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "The prime minister's methods of controlling people are really unfathomable, and they can make Ju Yi afraid like this, this method can be ten times more clever than Yuan Shao's and muddy methods......"

Su Zhe had already helped Ju Yi up, and the majesty on his face was gone, and he had a little more of the style of a corporal of courtesy.

He patted Ju Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Very good, it's good that you have such determination, since we are already the main ministers, the old grudges will be slashed off, let's fight side by side and create a great cause together." ”

Saying that, Su Zhe took Ju Yi's hand and personally sent him to the seat, and poured a glass of wine to suppress Ju Yi's shock.

This hand of carrots and sticks made Ju Yi afraid, but also moved, and he was happy and convinced of Su Zhe.

At that moment, he raised his glass and said angrily: "The last general will be the great cause of the Lord, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up!" ”

Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasure to have another general join us today, come on, remove the oil pot, bring the wine, let's have a good drink!" ”

The wine that had been prepared long ago was brought up, and the atmosphere of solemnity was replaced by pleasure, and Su Zhe drank with the generals.

In the big tent, laughter sounded.

When Su Zhe surrendered to the general and enjoyed the joy of the victory in Guandu, a letter of detailed information was also sent to all parts of the world in the starry night.

……

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

In the west of the city, the iron horses are galloping, the dust and fog are rolling, and the killing atmosphere covers the sky and the sun.

Dong Zhuo, who was plump, was sitting on the platform, drinking wine, reviewing the training results of the Xiliang Iron Horse on the school field.

In the battle of Guandu, the two armies of Su and Yuan have been deadlocked for several months, Su Zhe's grain and grass are about to run out, and the situation is dangerous, Dong Zhuo is naturally clear.

In Dong Zhuo's view, the battle of Guandu will soon have a result, Yuan Shao's victory is a foregone conclusion, and it should be time for him to get a piece of the pie.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo began to mobilize troops and horses, stepped up training, and waited for Su Zhe to be defeated, so he led the iron cavalry army to march eastward to grab the territory left after Su Zhe's fall with Yuan Shao.

"Xuande, in your opinion, after Su Zhe's army is defeated, how should the old man enter the army?" Dong Zhuo took a sip of wine, and glanced at Liu Bei beside him with trust.

Liu Bei said unhurriedly: "According to the opinion, after Su Zhe's army is defeated, the only one who can compete with Yuan Shao for the world is Taishi, and if Taishi and Yuan Shao start a war, it will be inevitable, so it is natural to strike first, and we must not wait until Yuan Shao pacifies the Central Plains." ”

"I thought that the Taishi should immediately divide the troops into three routes, all the way out of Tongguan, directly take Luoyang, and hold the Tiger Prison Pass, so that Yuan Shao could not touch Luoyang."

"This second route of soldiers and horses should go south out of Wuguan, seize Wancheng, and cut off Jingzhou from the Central Plains, and then Jingzhou can be passed on."

"The third way of soldiers and horses, Taishi should send a general, lead the army across the Yellow River, take Jinyang, and seize the state."

"After these three routes are successful, the Taishi will take advantage of the geographical advantage and form a condescending coercive situation against the states controlled by Yuan Shao."

"At the same time, the Taishi can also send an alliance invitation to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, inviting him to go north to seize the land of Xuzhou in Huainan with Yuan Shao, and form a flanking attack on Yuan Shao from the east."

"At that time, the Yuan army had been fighting for a long time, and the soldiers were tired, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Taishi was full of mental and physical strength, coupled with Sun Ce's Jiangdong New Army, the east and west were attacked, and Yuan Shao would definitely be defeated in one fell swoop."

Hearing Liu Bei's analysis, Dong Zhuo was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Xuande to have such a strategy, even the two guys like Li Ru and Jia Xu are not as good as it, the old man has Xuande's help, why can't he calm the world, hahahaβ€”β€”"

was praised by Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei also smiled, and the corners of his mouth swept up a hint of pride.

At this moment, the soldiers rushed to the general's platform and shouted: "Yu Taishi, Guandu urgently report, Su Zhe has broken Yuan's army a few days ago, Yuan Shao lost more than half of his troops, and he has fled back to Hebei with the remnants of his army. ”

The laughter came to an abrupt end.

Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei changed color almost at the same time.
