"What? Will you surrender? Although he believed that he might be able to persuade Zhang Yan to surrender, Liu He did not expect that Zhang Yan would agree to surrender so quickly, and he took the initiative to surrender, Liu He was naturally pleasantly surprised.

In fact, Liu He didn't know that Zhang Yan was originally a man with affection and righteousness, but he lost himself after becoming a human being, and began to become corrupt and degenerate, and now he is awakened under the inspiration of Liu He, and at the same time he is indeed desperate now, although he still has tens of thousands of troops, but these tens of thousands of troops are not the opponents of Liu He and Gao Gan's coalition army at all, and in the end they are still inevitably defeated, rather than this, it is better to choose to surrender now, and now he surrenders to Liu He with these tens of thousands of troops, can also get a certain amount of attention, if you surrender after these tens of thousands of troops are exhausted, even if Liu He reluctantly accepts the surrender, it is estimated that he will not give himself much good treatment.

"Yes, but I have a condition here, I need to make the king agree, if the king agrees, then I will surrender without saying a word, if the envoy does not agree, I will reluctantly surrender under the pressure of the situation, but it is only to ensure that I surrender myself."

Zhang Yan's words are obvious, this is a threat to Liu He, if he agrees to his conditions, then he will lead the army to surrender together, if he does not agree, then only Zhang Yan will surrender personally.

The gap is not small, of course Liu He will attach great importance to it, Zhengse said: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best, but if the conditions are too much, I have nothing to do." ”

Liu He said so cautiously, but Zhang Yan was reassured, if he took care of everything, Zhang Yan would doubt his sincerity, so Zhang Yan nodded and said: "My conditions are actually very simple, I hope that the king can give my soldiers a proper placement, not only to save their lives, but also to live a relatively better life, at least not let them have nothing to eat once they return to obedience, so that they will be thieves again." ”

As soon as Liu He heard this, he was immediately relieved, and said without thinking: "I can assure you about this matter, if you can persuade the soldiers under your command to surrender, I can let them freely choose whether to stay in the army, and if they choose to leave, I will give them land and seeds according to the Juntian order, and if they stay in the army, I will give the same treatment to the soldiers in my army, in addition, I also guarantee that the soldiers under your command are still under your command, of course, if you agree, I may choose a part of them to enrich my personal army." ”

"Is what you said true?" Hearing Liu He's words, Zhang Yan suddenly fell into a great surprise, because Liu He's words revealed three surprises: first, the soldiers under his command would be treated fairly whether they wanted to continue to stay in the army or not; The second is that the sergeants under his command have the opportunity to join Liu He's personal army, and the third is that he can continue to lead the original army, which is full trust in him and the soldiers under his command, and he is not regarded as an outsider in the slightest, so neither he nor the soldiers under his command will be discriminated against in the future.

This is simply the treatment of dreams for an army that surrendered halfway, especially in Liu He's army, the treatment of the soldiers is simply the most generous in the world!

"Please rest assured that Yan will definitely do his best to lead his soldiers to surrender to the lord." Zhang Yan, who was excited, immediately patted her chest and made a guarantee.

"Okay, in that case, General Zhang, you can go back and wait for your good news." Liu He ordered someone to prepare a horse for Zhang Yan and sent him away.

"Thank you, but don't worry, Yan has horses, not far from the camp, say goodbye." Zhang Yan arched his hand towards Liu He, and then disappeared into the night in a few leaps.

"Lord, you really shouldn't let Zhang Yan go, we finally caught him, although he verbally promised to surrender, but this departure promise, who can stop him?"

Pan Feng, who was on the side, saw Liu He let Zhang Yan go, and immediately complained.

saw Liu He and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhang Yan will definitely come back." ”

"Really? The lord is so confident? Pan Feng looked puzzled, but he knew that his lord had always looked at people very accurately, and he shouldn't be wrong, so he didn't dare to speak, arranged for people to strengthen protection, and then went down to rest with all the civil and military forces.

At noon the next day, Pan Feng was training soldiers in the camp, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and looked up, only to see the smoke and dust in the distance, as if a large army was rushing over.

Pan Feng's heart shook, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to close the gate of the village to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.

Unexpectedly, Liu He behind him said: "There is no need to do this, open the gate of the village wider, you wait to go out of the village with me, if my expectations are good, it must be Zhang Yan who led the army to defect." ”

"Is this really possible?" Pan Feng was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu He's order, so he immediately stepped forward, took matters into his own hands, opened the gate to the maximum extent, and then went out of the camp with Liu He.

Despite this, Pan Feng did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered his own soldiers to be secretly on guard, in case something was wrong, listen to his own orders, and attack at any time.

However, he was surprised to find that the man on the other side slowly slowed down his horse, and then he actually got off his horse and walked slowly.

Not long after, Pan Feng saw that the first person was the same Zhang Yan who was captured last night.

"Zhang Yan, the person who wears the sin, has seen the envoy." I saw Zhang Yan come to Liu He and salute respectfully.

"General Zhang, don't be polite." Liu He gently helped Zhang Yan up and said with a smile.

Later, seeing Zhang Yan continue to arch his hand, he said: "Envoy Qiqi, after Yan's persuasion, 50,000 of the 70,000 soldiers in my battalion chose to surrender, and another 20,000 did not want to continue to serve in the army, and they were all locals and did not want to leave their hometowns, so they all returned to their hometowns. ”

"Okay, 50,000 people is already good, I don't know how many of these 50,000 people are willing to go to Bingzhou to be a Juntian household, and how many people are willing to stay in the army?" Liu He continued to ask with a smile on his face.

"There are more than 8,000 people who are unable to continue the war because of their health, age, etc., and at the same time, because they have no relatives in the local area, or because they are already from Bingzhou, they are all willing to go to Bingzhou to become Juntian households, and these people have been registered and are now handed over to the envoy, who can arrange for them to go to Taiyuan at any time. The remaining 42,000 people are all willing to stay in the army and continue to serve the envoy, here is their roster, and please take a look at the envoy. ”

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he handed over a stack of rosters to Liu He's hands.

Liu He took the roster, only glanced at it, and just left the roster of the 8,000 people who were willing to be Juntianhu, but returned the roster of 42,000 people to Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "I said before, let you still be in charge of the old department, so the roster of these people is naturally in your hands, but let's say it in advance, I have the right to give priority to selecting elites to enter my personal barracks." ”
