Chapter 25 Zhang Ju returns to obedience

Liu Yu was puzzled by the other party's request to negotiate peace at this time, and asked suspiciously: "Does the other party have any requirements?" ”

The little colonel who came in earlier to report bowed and replied: "The other party asks Lord Fujun to go in person, and the two sides can only bring one person, in the open space in front of the city gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Gone?"

The Colonel nodded.

"Okay, it's none of your business here, you can go down first." Liu Yu waved his hand and motioned for the little school to go out.

After the little colonel went out, Liu Yu asked directly: "What is the reason why the other party chose to negotiate peace at this time?" ”

Tian Yu groaned: "It stands to reason that even no one will choose to negotiate peace at this time, after all, the other party has no advantage at present, and there will be less bargaining chips for peace, but he chose to make peace at this time, my lord, will there be fraud in this?" ”

"Even if it's a fraud, didn't he say it, both sides can bring one person each, and tomorrow I will be able to bring this evil to the ground." Liu Yu said confidently.

Dian Wei showed a bright smile on his face and said, "Annoyed me, I will kill him directly." ”

Li Yin said with some unease: "Lord, I am good at archery, if the situation is not good tomorrow, let him be shot to death with the next arrow." ”

Zhang Liao also said: "Tomorrow, a certain army will be behind, once the other party cheats, he will definitely be called back." ”

Liu Yu didn't want to discourage their loyalty, so he nodded in acquiescence.

The next day, two hundred meters in front of Wuxian County, Liu Yu and Dian Wei were on the side, and there were also two people standing opposite. The leader of the bandits was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a broad face, and a face like a crown of jade, which was quite imposing.

Liu Yu spoke first: "Are you going to come to me to negotiate peace?" Wouldn't you just introduce it? ”

The bandit leader nodded and said, "It's down, under Zhang Ju, the word Zhongsheng, I guess you've heard of it." ”

"What? You are Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun's brother, I heard you right. Liu Yu was completely stunned, and he couldn't believe that the person standing opposite him was Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju was originally Taishan Taishou and was a local tyrant in Yuyang County, Youzhou. Because of his brother Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju was bewitched by his brother to launch a rebellion with Wuhuan Qiu Liju, invaded the prefecture and county, and fought fiercely with Gongsun Zan and other officials and troops. Later, after Liu Yu's father arrived, Liu Yu offered a strategy to appease him, and Qiu Liju finally withdrew from the army for his own interests.

After Youzhou Mu Liu Yu hung red Zhang Chun and others, Zhang Chun because of the single-minded violence, the soldier's heart changed, the leader of the account Wang Zheng assassinated Zhang Chun and dedicated his head to Liu Yu's father Liu Yu, but there has been no conclusion about Zhang Ju, some people rumored that Zhang Ju went out of Bensai, and his whereabouts are unknown since then, and some people say that Zhang Ju saw that the general trend had gone, and hanged himself to death.

Liu Yu even thought that Zhang Ju was dead, but he didn't expect Zhang Ju to sneak back from outside the plug and become the biggest bandit force in Liaodong County. But the other party had no reason to lie to himself at all, Liu Yu had already believed the fact that the other party was Zhang Ju at this time.

Zhang Ju saw that Liu Yu's expression was constantly changing, and said, "What? Could it be that Liu Fujun doesn't believe it? ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just wondering why you chose to make peace with me?" ”

"How can I say that I used to be an official of the imperial court, but now I have become a thief, I am really a nest, I want to change the situation in front of me. I heard that Liu Fujun is the son of the governor of Benzhou, if the prince can ignore the sin of my previous rebellion, he will lead the people to surrender. Zhang Ju said what he thought.

"How do you tell me to believe you? After all, your brother Zhang Chun died because of me, can you really be truly convinced? Liu Yu still didn't believe Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju said: "The previous brother was not reused by Zhang Wen and was not angry, so he embarked on a detour, I didn't want to participate at the time, but I had no choice but to coerce my brother, so I had to join the rebellion, and now I want to regret it. ”

"Even if I agree to you, surely your request for submission is not simple, right? Speak up and listen. Liu Yu looked at Zhang Ju, as if he wanted to see something from Zhang Ju's face.

Zhang Ju said: "First, Wangfu Jun told his father that he would no longer care about my previous rebellion; Second, I hope that the governor can give me at least one county magistrate; Third, the prince promised me personal freedom in the future, and I could come and go without restraint, and fourth, the soldiers in the city were under my command. ”

"If you really want to be obedient, I can agree to the first three, but as for the fourth, there is no need to discuss." Liu Yu will never let Zhang Ju command the army, as long as he does not give him the army, Liu Yu does not have to worry that he is not sincere and obedient, on the contrary, Liu Yu is happy to be able to give him an official and a half position, after all, Zhang Ju used to be a county guard, and he is experienced and experienced as an official, although he is not a great talent, but it is also what Liu Yu lacks at the moment.

Zhang Ju was a little hesitant, and wanted to fight for himself: "But if I don't submit, the soldiers in this city will not only be led by me, but all of them will be mine." The prince deprived all my soldiers and horses like this, isn't it a little... ”

"To be honest, I don't worry about you, so I can't let you continue to command the army, with your knowledge, you must also know that it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, and it will be your death when the city is broken, and then it will not be so simple for you to negotiate peace." Liu Yu did not retreat at all.

"Hmph, then let's see who can have the last laugh, let's go." Zhang raised his sleeves and flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"Do you want to leave when you're here?" Dian Wei shouted violently, like earth-shattering thunder. Zhang Ju was stunned for a moment, and by the time he reacted, the retinue he had brought with him had been knocked to the ground by Dian Wei.

"You, what do you mean?" Zhang Ju was a little annoyed. He didn't expect Liu Yu's people to easily defeat the people he brought, and they were completely defeated, this was the strongest martial artist on his side, but Liu Yu had no power to fight back.

Liu Yu sneered: "Since the peace negotiation has not succeeded, it is inevitable that we will meet each other, unfortunately, I am not a gentleman, so I have no need to let you go back." ”

"You... Zhang Ju was a little angry, but he was speechless, and at this time he had already regretted the action of the peace negotiation.

"Let's move on."

"Talk, what else is there to talk about, kill me, my men will not surrender to you."

"Are you threatening me? It's not like I said, once you die, the city is expected to fight for the leader, and then I only need to promise to support one of them, and the city will be destroyed. Liu Yu said with an unchanged expression.

Seeing that Zhang Ju didn't speak, Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "If you want to be obedient, I promise you the following four points: first, I will tell my father that I will no longer care about your previous rebellion; Second, Wen County is still occupied by bandits, and after I pacify them, you will serve as the county commander of Wen County, and the county officials can be recruited by yourself; Three, in the future, you will be my subordinate, meritorious service will be rewarded, crime should be punished, you must obey my orders, fourth, you can divide your 1,000 soldiers and horses for the use of public security in the county. If you can accept it, we will say so, if not, I can't do it. ”

"What will happen to you if I don't accept it?" Zhang Ju asked.

"This doesn't need to be asked, of course I caught you and broke the city." Liu Yu looked serious.

"You mean I have no choice?"

"If you don't want to die, I'm sure you have only one choice, and that's to accept my terms."

Zhang Ju was still a little hesitant.

Liu Yu said: "Tell me the truth, my ambition is not in Liaodong, as long as you are willing to follow me sincerely, if he can revive the Han family one day, he will never treat you badly." "With a confident face, it seems that he has absolute confidence in the future, and he is arrogant.

Zhang Ju and Dian Wei were also infected by Liu Yu's strong self-confidence at this time, and Zhang Ju finally decided to agree to Liu Yu's conditions.

Liu Yu said: "Just in case, I also ask Zhang County to order the people in the city to surrender." ”

I thought there would be a big war in Wuxi, but I didn't expect that the leader of the bandits in Wuwu County was Zhang Ju, Zhang Ju chose to negotiate peace with Liu Yu for his own reasons, and finally took back Wuwu without much loss, and the bandits around Wuwu were either annexed by Zhang Ju or destroyed by him.

The next thing is much simpler, Liu Yu appointed Li Yin as the county magistrate of Wuxian County, restored law and order in the city, opened a warehouse to give porridge, and comforted the people.

Previously, Zhang Ju had more than 14,000 people, of which more than 3,000 were originally from county soldiers, and the rest were either bandit forces that were still annexed by Zhang Ju, or were former farmers. Liu Yu continued to leave those who were willing to continue to follow him to join the army, and Liu Yu, who was unwilling to stay, distributed money and food to let them go home.

As a result, everyone is willing to stay, as long as they don't starve to death, these bandits who were originally peasants don't care who to follow, Liu Yu selected five thousand young and strong people from these people, one thousand of which were handed over to Zhang Ju, and more than 1,000 people were left to stay without worry, and the remaining three thousand people were incorporated into their previous team, and the remaining old and weak soldiers Liu Yu did not give them weapons, and selected a more outstanding and capable person from the county soldiers - Chen Hu to lead them, and left them for later use.
