In Gao Shun's big tent, Gao Shun personally untied the ropes tied to Cheng Zhiyuan's body and said, "Cheng Qushuai, sit down!" ”

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away, or kidnap you? Cheng Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

Gao Shun smiled confidently: "Haha, I believe that the Qu Shuai of Taiping Dao will not do such an unrighteous act, and you are not my opponent, you can't hijack me at all, besides, in the barracks, how can you escape?" Sit down and talk, I won't hurt you for the time being, don't be so nervous. ”

Cheng Zhiyuan obediently sat opposite Gao Shun; The shouting and killing outside and the sound of horses' hooves have stopped, the war is over, and there is no need to predict the outcome or defeat, it must be the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.

Gao Shun first introduced himself: "My surname is Gao Mingshun, and I am from Loufu County, Yanmen County, and the county of Dai and Shanggu belong to my territory, and these cavalry are also recruited by me; My goal is to protect the peace of the Han frontier from foreign raids, and to allow the people in the jurisdiction to live a peaceful life, which does not conflict with the teachings of the Taiping Dao. ”

Cheng Zhiyuan remained silent.

Gao Shun continued: "You lead the poor masses to revolt, but will not bring them a stable and happy life, but will only push them into the abyss of death; The court of the Han Dynasty, even if it was weakened, was a skinny camel larger than a horse, and it was by no means overthrown by a group of peasants with backward equipment and no military training; You don't have a base, you don't do production, you only know about looting, you destroy production, you all go to join the Yellow Turban Army, no one farms, what are you looting next year? Even if the court doesn't suppress you, you will starve to death next year. ”

Chen Zhiyuan still didn't speak.

Gao Shun said again: "Your Yellow Turban Army is divided into thirty-six sides, each fighting for itself, not commanding each other, and there is no unified command, so it will only be broken by each one; Although the early imperial court was not prepared, so that you were caught off guard, and you achieved remarkable results, but after the imperial court stabilized its pace and began to counterattack, the regular army was by no means something that you could fight against as a rabble, I am sure that in less than a year, the Yellow Turban Army would be defeated, and the "General of Tiangong", "General Digong" and others would also be killed, resulting in countless people being killed and becoming the funeral objects of your ambitions, all of which were harmed by you. ”

Cheng Zhiyuan retorted angrily: "You are talking nonsense, how could General Tiangong die?" If we don't revolt, they will starve to death, how can we harm people? ”

Gao Shun was not angry, but asked rhetorically: "Do you know how many people died in this war?" More than 20,000 people were trampled to death alone, and you didn't kill them? Leading the old, weak, women and children to the battlefield is an unprecedented anecdote in eternity. As for whether General Tiangong will die or not, if you can live until the end of the year, you will know the outcome. ”

Cheng Zhiyuan's face turned pale and he stopped talking.

Gao Shun directly threatened: "There are more than 30,000 people who have been captured, now it depends on your attitude, is it to let them accompany you to die?" Or do you lead them to a good life? The big pit has been dug, if you continue to be obsessed, I will order someone to behead you all tonight, this is a huge battle feat, and the reward of the court will definitely not be less; The life and death of so many people are at your fingertips. ”

After pondering for a while, Cheng Zhiyuan asked, "How to lead them to a good life?" ”

"The ancient counties and the Dai counties are vast and sparsely populated, and there are still places where tens of thousands of people are arranged; If you can change your ways, I will disrupt you and settle you as a people; one stone of grain per person per month until the autumn harvest; Each person can reclaim 10 acres of cultivated land, tax exemption for three years, ten taxes after three years, and no other taxes and forced labor within five years; Of course, those who are physically strong will join the army, and after the three-month recruitment period, if they are qualified, they will enjoy the treatment of regular border troops, including you, or generals; Otherwise, according to the laws of the imperial court, any rebel who annihilates the nine clans, and none of them is spared, will be beheaded. ”

Cheng Zhiyuan's face was pale and uncertain, and he was struggling painfully in his heart, as Qu Shuai, he couldn't betray the great sage and good teacher, but if he didn't surrender, tens of thousands of believers would be beheaded; The purpose of their revolt is to give the believers a good life, and now that this opportunity is within reach, is he giving it up? Or take the chance?

If you betray the great sage and good teacher, you will have no face to meet him in the future; In order for so many people to have a chance to live a good life without being innocently killed, it is a big deal to atone for their sins by death.

His heart was settled, and he knelt down in front of Gao Shun and said, "I am willing to surrender!" Lord, please bow down to me! ”

Gao Shun was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly pulled up Cheng Zhiyuan, and said: "Okay, in order to avoid trouble, from now on, you will be Cheng Zhi, the word is far away!" ”

"Yes, my lord!"

"Then you go and persuade Deng Mao to surrender now, and then transfer the people to Dai County and Shanggu County overnight, otherwise the court will investigate it, and we will be unable to escape the blame!"

"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Zhiyuan knew this kind of law of the imperial court, he knew the seriousness of the matter, he didn't dare to delay, and was busy persuading Deng Mao according to Gao Shun's orders.

Even Qu Shuai surrendered, there was no need for him, the deputy general, to insist, Deng Mao calmly worshiped Gao Shun as the main prince, without any psychological burden, and only asked Gao Shun to fulfill his promise.

Gao Shun was very happy, and appointed Cheng Zhi and Deng Mao as military candidates, enjoying the treatment of 400 stones, and after the two of them made meritorious contributions, they were promoted separately.

The two of them were overjoyed, and in an instant, they changed from thieves to official officers, this change was too great, if there had been such an opportunity, they would not have rebelled.

With the addition of two people, the screening work is much simpler, first let the family members separate according to the original group, and then let the soldiers return to the family team, which is very easy to return to the original organization.

Subsequently, 400 cavalry were selected from them to form four cavalry tuns, with the tun commander as the junior military attaché, and Yan Liang, Guan Yu and other four people each added a tun cavalry to commend their contributions in this battle; Those who fought bravely, according to their performance, promoted some of the captains, chiefs, and Dubo, and the soldiers were also very happy; When their army reached 8 tuns, they were promoted to military commanders and enjoyed the treatment of 600 stones; The four of them were very happy, full of longing for the next battle, and after a few more victories, they would become military commanders.

Of course, the wine promised to Zhang Fei and Yan Liang is indispensable.

In addition, 2,600 infantry were selected, and Cheng Zhi and Deng Mao each led 5 cantonments; The remaining infantry was formed into four infantry formations, with four junior military attachés serving as infantry officers.

The remaining people were divided into two, and half were placed in more than 10 counties in Dai County and Shanggu County, each with more than 1,000 people; Half of it was divided into four townships, led by a junior civil official, and went to Takayanagi Castle, where they later settled in the Takayanagi Basin.

The soldiers were very satisfied with this arrangement, they could know exactly where their families were going, and they no longer had to worry about their families, and as for those who died, they could only be buried in peace.

Those who were selected for the cavalry were very happy and very satisfied with the salary package.

Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao feel that this can really lead them to a good life, but they are sorry for those who died for this.

Gao Shun used the system map function to check it and found that these people had changed from red to yellow, and it seemed that the time of the uprising was still short, and the poison was still light.

Hopefully they will have a good life in the future.
