Inside the house, Jiang Wei and Wang Ping continued to talk.

"Boyo's plan is very good, with this cottage as a cover, we can recuperate." Wang Pingdao.

"I didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so difficult, I underestimated him before, E Huan died, and Zhongquan and Boqi were imprisoned. I thought about it carefully, even if the troops were the same, if I fought with Liu Yuan again, the outcome was unknown. There are too many capable people under Liu Yuan's command! For now, we can only slowly accumulate strength, and when the time is ripe, we will first take Danyang County as our foothold. In the near future, let's not go head-to-head with Liu Yuan. Jiang Weidao.

"Boyo is right. The defeat in this battle, in addition to the large gap in troops, the gap between the generals is not small. Before, we thought that Meng Huo was their strongest combat force. Who knows, there are also four generals, Luan Tingyu, Qin Liangyu, Wutu Gu, and Zhu Biao, and their combat power completely crushes us. If you want to compete with Liu Yuan, you must find a military general who can compete with these four generals. Wang Ping said.

"That's what Zijun said. However, such a military general is hard to come by, and it can only depend on luck. I really can't figure out where Liu Yuan got so many generals. Jiang Weidao.

In Qu'a County, the winning team has rested, but Liu Yuan has not rested. He watched the whole battle, and finally moved his mouth, how tired could he be?

Liu Yuan told Hu Sanniang to rest, but Hu Sanniang didn't listen, and Liu Yuan let her go. After all, in this battle, she didn't do anything else, just slashed with her left and right hands, cutting off two horses' legs.

Accompanied by Hu Sanniang and Wang Jun, Liu Yuan interrogated the prisoners. Of course, he would not meet two captives at the same time.

So, Liu Yuan met Xiahou Ba first.

"Xiahouba, are you convinced?" Liu Yuan asked. The voice is not overbearing, but it is full of energy.

"The prisoner under the stairs, it doesn't matter if you accept it or not." Xiahou Ba said coldly.

The gap in force with Luan Tingyu is obvious, and Xiahou Ba has nothing to disagree with. However, the mouth must not be soft. As a result, Xiahouba did not answer Liu Yuan's words directly.

Liu Yuan knew that Xiahou had a hard mouth, and he didn't ridicule him.

After a pause, Liu Yuan said: "Let me tell you directly, you are a talent, I admire you very much, you come to my account, I will give you the position of minister." ”

According to the description of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after some generals captured the prisoner, when they wanted to subdue him, they had to loosen his ties and apologize to him, so that people were happy and voluntarily followed.

Liu Yuan would not be so pretentious. I am the victor, and you are a prisoner. Even if you give you a good face, you still have to lower your body and plead? In that case, where is the prestige of the lord?

Listening to Liu Yuan's words, Xiahou Ba was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart You just want to subdue me, don't be so direct. Want me to be obedient so easily? Dream! I have been friends with Boyo since childhood, how can I betray him?

"You don't need to say more, I won't surrender, just die!" Xiahou is domineering.

"We are officers and soldiers, and you are rebels. I spared your life, not only are you not grateful, but you are also obsessed, what is the reason? Liu Yuandao.

"What about officials, and what about rebellion? All I know is that you have to be righteous. "Xiahou is domineering.

"You're wrong! Since you value righteousness, you should persuade Jiang Boyo to prevent him from falling deeper and deeper on the road of rebellion. Liu Yuandao.

"What's the use of talking about this, there's no chance anymore. If you want to kill, you will kill, and if I frown, I will not be a hero. "Xiahouba is not afraid of death.

"Life is precious, so why do you want to die? Why not a chance? I said there was a chance, and there you had it! Liu Yuandao.

"What do you mean?" Xiahou Ba was stunned.

"If you submit to me, I will send you to Jiang Boyo to persuade him to surrender. As long as he is obedient, I will not blame him for the past, and I will also grant him the post of minister. Including Wang Ping, all to the minister. Liu Yuandao.

Wu County has 20,000 horses, and it needs 20 ministers. Liu Yuan's generals did not have twenty members, and it was impossible for people like Qin Liangyu and Yanghu to be appointed ministers. Strategists like Chen Gong, Yang Huiyu, and Zhu Wu are also not suitable to be ministers.

In Liu Yuan's current army, many ministers were forcibly promoted by Qu Chang, an unknown commander in the team.

Therefore, Liu Yuan is still very eager for excellent generals. As long as the ability is enough and the loyalty is not bad, he will not refuse to come.

"Taishou, are you deceiving me? Send me to recruit Boyo? As soon as I'm gone, what will you do? What to clamp me down? Oh yes, you want to use Zhang Wei as a hostage? Xiahouba looked like he suddenly woke up.

"Xiahouba, you underestimate me too much! As long as you agree to submit, I will immediately send you to recruit Jiang Wei. Not only that, but if Zhang Wei is obedient, I will send him with you. If you don't come back, I'll be thinking of the wrong person. Of course, if that's the case, the next time we meet, I won't show the slightest mercy. I look down on people who can't even do what they've promised! You think about whether you want to be obedient or not. Liu Yuan's words were loud.

Xiahou Ba stared at Liu Yuan, trying to see something in his eyes, but he was disappointed.

Liu Yuan looked at him calmly, his eyes clear.

The two sides looked at each other like this.

After a long time, Xiahou Ba retracted his gaze and said, "Taishou, now I know why you can attract so many excellent generals." I'll admit, you've shaken me up, and I'm going to think about it again. ”

"Good! I'll give you time. After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he ordered Wang Jun to bring Xiahou Ba down and Zhang Wei up.

After seeing Zhang Wei, Liu Yuan concocted the same method and used the same method to recruit him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment and agreed. So, Liu Yuan asked someone to take Zhang Wei to lobby Xiahouba.

After Zhang Wei left, Wang Jun said: "I admire the courage of the lord very much, but I am worried that Xiahou Ba and the others will live up to the good intentions of the lord." ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense, I'll wait and see." Liu Yuandao.

Wang Jun didn't expect Liu Yuan to say this, he thought that Liu Yuan had already made up his mind. Wang Jun didn't think that Liu Yuan could take his suggestion, he just thought that he should remind his lord. Who would have thought that the lord's attitude would show signs of loosening.

In fact, when Zhang Wei agreed to surrender, although Liu Yuan was smiling, he was very angry in his heart. Because, he didn't receive the system's prompt about subduing Zhang Wei, let alone the display of loyalty.

Zhang Wei is a fraud! Liu Yuan knew that only in this way could he explain the truth.

How dare I surrender, when I am a fool! If the two of them surrendered, Liu Yuan would directly execute them, and he would never be merciful.

In the place where Xiahouba was imprisoned, Zhang Wei met him.

"Boqi, why are you here?" Xiahou said in surprise.

"I've surrendered to the Taishou, now I'm here to convince you to work with me to serve the Lord." Zhang Wei said.
