When Hu Zongmao was escorted in, he was tied up and down like a zongzi, Han Ying took it in front, and two soldiers pushed Hu Zongmao in, and the little overlord Qin Lei carried the iron rod on his shoulder, raised his head and walked in.

Chu Huan was a little strange when he saw Qin Lei coming in, and asked, "Lei'er, why did you come in?" ”

Qin Lei grinned, and Han Ying had already explained: "Chu Du, Hu Zongmao was captured by Qin Lei. ”

Chu Huan was stunned, Pei Ji had already stood up, and said strangely: "Lei'er, did you catch him?" ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Father Ji, I want his horse, his horse runs fast, I like ......!" Xiang Chu Huan said, "Uncle Chu, you give me his horse, okay?" ”

Chu Huan touched his nose and said with a smile: "You have a fancy for his horse?" ”

"Last night, he rode away and ran away, and I later learned that the horse was his." Qin Lei looked at Hu Zongmao with a smile and asked, "Where is your horse?" ”

Hu Zongmao was unkempt, looked very embarrassed, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

Han Ying has already explained: "Governor Chu, follow your military orders, the last general will send people to search for Hu Zongmao in the whole city, Qin Lei also led people to search around, he remembered Hu Zongmao's mount, so when he entered the city, he wanted to look for Hu Zongmao, the situation was very chaotic at that time, Hu Zongmao took the opportunity to escape, but Qin Lei saw him, and followed him for a long time, and he actually knew Hu Zongmao's hiding place......!" ”

Qin Lei grinned and said, "He was hiding in a dry well, I wanted to pull him out, but his horse didn't come with me, so I just wanted to wait for his horse to come out ......!" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Then you can see his horse?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head in disappointment and said, "I waited all night and didn't see his horse, and then I came back......!" ”

Chu Huan said: "You just let him stay in the dry well and come back by himself?" ”

"yes." Qin Lei blinked, "He doesn't have a horse, what are you going to do with him?" When I came back, I realized that many people were going to arrest him, so I took someone to get him back from the dry well. Glancing at Hu Zongmao, he stabbed Hu Zongmao in the shoulder with an iron rod and asked, "Hey, where is your horse?" I want your horse. ”

Chu Huan had already understood the cause and effect at this time, and dared to be that Hu Zongmao was ambushed and fled last night, his horse was unusually miraculous, and was favored by Qin Lei, after the city was broken, Qin Lei looked for Hu Zongmao and wanted a horse, and by mistake saw Hu Zongmao who fled secretly, and kept following, Hu Zongmao hid in a dry well, and was actually seen by Qin Lei, but Qin Lei didn't think about arresting Hu Zongmao, but he just felt that Hu Zongmao was in the well, and the horse was afraid that it would come soon.

It's just that after waiting for a long time and not seeing the horse, Qin Lei returned in defeat, and when he came back and heard that the whole city was searching for Hu Zongmao, he led people to arrest Hu Zongmao from the dry well.

Chu Huan only felt a little unbelievable in his heart, secretly thinking that there was really nothing strange in this world, Hu Zongmao was actually found by Qin Lei because of a horse.

"Chu Du, that dry well has been prepared a long time ago." Han Ying glanced at Hu Zongmao, and there was no sarcasm in his eyes, "There is a passage built in the wall of the well, and there is a secret room inside, in which a lot of dry food and water are stored, and it will be no problem to stay in it and hold it for two or three months...... This General Hu seems to have left a way back for himself a long time ago. ”

Hu Zongmao's face was white and red, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Chu Huan smiled and said to Qin Lei: "Lei'er, you have captured Hu Zongmao and made great contributions, apart from that horse, what reward do you want?" ”

"I want that horse." Qin Lei said stubbornly.

Chu Huan laughed and said to Han Ying: "General Han Bi, go back and send someone to find the horse, it shouldn't be difficult to find, so give it to Qin Lei." ”

Han Ying said yes.

Chu Huan looked at Hu Zongmao at this time, his face, which was still smiling, instantly became extremely indifferent, and said lightly: "Hu Zongmao, do you remember what this governor said to you?" ”

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, my life is completely in the hands of Chu Huan, of course Hu Zongmao understands this truth, opened his eyes, and said blankly: "What? ”

"The Governor told you that day in the city that he would give you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Chu Huan's eyes stared at Hu Zongmao's eyes like blades, "Do you know that you didn't leave a chance for yourself, nor did you leave a chance for many soldiers, they died on the battlefield because of you, do you know how many soldiers died on the battlefield?" ”

Hu Zongmao's lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all, and lowered his head.

"They all have families, but now they're on the ground." Chu Huan sneered: "You dare to rebel against the Governor, the Governor admires your courage, but you shouldn't let them become your tools." ”

Hu Zongmao raised his head, with a begging look in his eyes, and his voice was soft: "Chu Du, it was my lard that blinded my heart, and I was confused for a while, you ...... You didn't care about the villain, and you let me go of this ......! ”

He was arrogant and ambitious at the beginning, but at this time he became a prisoner, and he had long lost his former arrogance, pitiful, like a lost dog.

"Spare your life?" Chu Huan put his hands behind his back and asked lightly, "Why does this governor spare you?" If you raise an army to rebel, if the governor spares you, how can he explain to the court and the saints? ”

Hu Zongmao broke out in a cold sweat, looked left and right, and stopped talking.

Chu Huan raised his hand and ordered: "Come on, push Hu Zongmao down, show his head to the public, hang his head on the city, and let all the people with ill intentions see what the result of the rebellion is." ”

Han Ying said in a deep voice: "Pull it down!" ”

The two soldiers were about to drag Hu Zongmao down immediately, Hu Zongmao's face changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said: "Chu Du, wait a minute, I'll ...... I have something to say, you ...... Don't kill me yet, I'm still useful! ”

"Useful?" Chu Huan raised his hand, signaled not to pull him down for the time being, frowned and sneered: "You said you are still useful?" ”

Cold sweat broke out on Hu Zongmao's forehead, and he gasped and said, "Chu Du, I will never dare to talk nonsense, you ...... You let them go down first, I have confidential matters to discuss with you!" ”

"Bold." Han Ying shouted sharply: "Hu Zongmao, what are you, and what qualifications do you have to discuss things with Chu Du?" ”

"Chu Du, you believe me, I really have something important to discuss." Hu Zongmao's face was red, and he said hurriedly: "If you are not satisfied, it is not too late to kill me." ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, motioned for the two soldiers to retreat first, and then said: "Here are all people trusted by the governor, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Pei Ji and Qin Lei are nothing, but Huang Yutan and Han Ying have different colors in their eyes, Huang Yutan's eyes are appreciative, and Han Ying is grateful.

Han Ying was originally Yu Unyielding's general, after Dongfang Xin came to power, he has been suppressed and low-key, if it weren't for Chu Huan's arrival, he would have been overthrown by Dongfang Xin sooner or later.

For Han Ying, he is Yu Buqu's descendant, the four major generals of the Great Qin Empire, all have their own lineage, but after Yu Buqu's death, the Yu generals also lost their backers, and the whole system collapsed, although Han Ying is still a general of the imperial court, he can only be regarded as an ownerless general, without Yu Buqu, his future is naturally bleak.

After Chu Huan arrived, Han Ying had already keenly felt that Chu Huan was the time to employ people, Han Ying was not only a reckless man wielding knives and guns, he knew how important Chu Huan was to himself, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the army, he had to get close to Chu Huan, in fact, he and Chu Huan both knew in their hearts that both sides needed each other, and Han Ying was quite cooperative with Chu Huan's instructions, and only hoped that Chu Huan could accept himself into his system.

Today, Chu Huan said in one sentence that all the people present were the people he trusted, and among the people present, Han Ying naturally felt the deepest emotion and was the most grateful in his heart.

When Hu Zongmao saw Chu Huan say this, he could only say: "Although Chu Du has captured Hezhou, he has not yet taken the ...... Jinzhou!" ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "Hezhou has been taken, why worry about the injustice of Jinzhou?" ”

"Chu Governor has a good command of the army, and the army is conscripted, and Jinzhou will naturally be pacified sooner or later." Hu Zongmao has completely given up his self-esteem at this time, for him, saving his life is the top priority now, when he slashes and kills others, he only knows the pleasure of killing, but when death comes to his head, he knows what a terrible thing death is, and his voice has even become humble with his psychology: "It's just that Zhang Shuyan is a very stubborn person, he won't surrender easily, if he really wants to take Jinzhou, there will be a fierce battle, and ......many people will definitely die at that time!" ”

Chu Huan said expressionlessly: "It seems that you have understood a lot, and you know that fighting a war is to kill people, but this governor has never been afraid of the dead when he conscripts against thieves." ”

Hu Zongmao said helplessly: "What Chu Du said is true, but ...... But the soldiers who surrender without a fight are always ...... Always the best outcome. ”

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Chu Huan put one hand behind his back, touched his nose and said, "Is there any way you can surrender without a fight?" If it is you can persuade Zhang Shuyan to surrender, this governor will never believe it, this governor has already investigated, and the relationship between you and Zhang Shuyan is not very good. ”

"Chu Du is right, my personal relationship with Zhang Shuyan is not very good, but I raised troops at the same time as him, so ...... So even if it's not a friend, it's not an enemy. Hu Zongmao flickered and said, "At least...... At least then, he'll still see me as an ally. ”

"That's a true story." Chu Huan's eyebrows stretched slightly, stared at Hu Zongmao, and asked, "What does this have to do with the soldiers who surrender without a fight?" ”

Hu Zongmao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Chu Du should understand that as long as he doesn't regard me as an enemy, then it will not be difficult to take Lanyi City in Jinzhou." ”

Chu Huan didn't ask any more, his eyes fell on Pei Ji, Pei Ji was also looking over, the two looked at each other, and a faint smile crossed their eyes.

Chu Huan did not behead Hu Zongmao, but asked people to take him down first, and when Han Ying was about to retreat, he was stopped by Chu Huan and said, "General Han Bi, this governor wants to give you a heavy task, I don't know if you have the confidence to complete it?" ”

Han Ying immediately clenched his fists and said: "Chu Du has orders, and the last general will definitely go all out." ”

"Okay." Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said: "Hezhou City has been captured, but the situation here is still unstable, so the governor needs to leave a cadre to guard here, do you understand what the governor means?" ”

Han Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Chu Du, you mean to say that you want to let the last general stay...... Stay and guard Hezhou? ”

He really couldn't believe it, Dongfang Xin asked Hu Zongmao and Zhang Shuyan to guard Hezhou and Jinzhou respectively, just because these two people were from the Zhu Party, Dongfang Xin was completely trustworthy, and if he had a little doubt, he would not hand over such a heavy task to them.

Chu Huan is now going to hand over Hezhou to Han Ying to guard, and the trust in it is already self-evident-
