Before Gao Shun set off, Bo Cai naturally had an explanation, and the most important of them was nothing more than to find out for him the news of the people behind the defeat of the Changshe. For this person who is still foggy, Bo Cai can be said to hate and admire at the same time, so easy to perceive people's hearts, calculate themselves interlocking. But now he really can't do much, but he still has an obsession with this person hidden in the fog, so he will ask Gao Shun to understand on his behalf.

This also made Gao Shun suddenly extremely surprised when Xu Ji mentioned Bocai's name, because even in Wancheng, there were still many Yellow Turban soldiers who did not know Bocai's true identity, but Xu Ji directly opened his mouth to break Bocai's name.

Gao Shun secretly took a deep breath and replied calmly: "What did Mr. Xu say? Bo is the Yingchuan Qu Shuai, but not my Wancheng Qu Shuai, after the defeat of the Changshe, Bo Shuai disappeared. Gao Shunshi didn't know what Mr. Xu meant by this. ”

Xu Ji glanced at Gao Shun and chuckled: "It's okay, whether to say it or not depends on General Gao's will." Just think of it as Wen Lie's nonsense, it's better to do this, you bring a word for me, and say that if he is obedient, I can protect him from death. When Han Zhong asked, he said that I still have to discuss with the two generals, and it will take time, so let him wait. "Who he is is is self-explanatory.

At this point, it was obviously the meaning of sending off guests, Sun Jian also made a gesture of "please", Gao Shun naturally bowed and saluted and went out with Sun Jian. Out of Xu Ji's tent Gao Shunfang felt relieved, this breath of relief Gao Shun only found that his back was already soaked in cold sweat, although the young man in the tent was only fourteen years old, he was a weak scholar, but there was a faint sense of oppression in his grasp, as if everything was in front of him, Gao Shun had never experienced this kind of pressure.

After Sun Jian led Gao Shun out of the camp, he turned around with a smile and patted Gao Shun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Gao, the military division will not embarrass you, the two armies are still fighting and not killing, not to mention that now Han Zhong has the intention of surrendering." ”

Gao Shun grinned and showed an ugly smile, then frowned again and said slowly: "Why did the two generals leave a young man in charge?" Do you look down on the rest of my Wancheng? Gao Shun was obviously very unhappy because he was suppressed by Xu Ji before, and he obviously wanted to get back to his own field, after all, Gao Shun at this time was only in his early twenties.

Of course, Sun Jian understood Gao Shun's psychology at this time, so he also agreed with Gao Shun: "The military advisor has been planning for the general since the Changshe envoy, and there has been no mistake or omission in the past few months, how can you say that the military advisor can not trust the general?" ”

Gao Shun actually wanted to find a step down, Sun Jian lifted Xu Ji higher, the more comfortable he would be down this step, after listening to Sun Jian's answer, Gao Shun stopped talking, and followed Sun Jian silently all the way to the camp gate. Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Jianfu turned around and patted Gao Shun's back and said, "General Gao, the military advisor received you not only because he won the trust of the two generals, but in fact, there was quite a dispute in the army about whether to accept surrender. The military advisor loves to have compassion, the military advisor asked me to tell you the bottom, the military advisor admired General Gao very much, he said that the general should change the door rather than waste his years in the middle of the yellow scarf. To put it in my heart, there are very few people whom I Sun Wentai admire, the military advisor is one, and General Gao is one. I also feel that it is better to find a way out for myself as soon as possible. At this point, General Gao thought twice. ”

Hearing this, Gao Shun fell into deep thought, of course he also thought about his future. Of course, he can't die with the fall of the Yellow Turban in Wancheng, and he can't serve the Yellow Turban anymore. He still has a lot of ambitions and ambitions that he has not been able to fulfill, and Gao Shun's current consideration is only who to serve, only those who are worthy of service can he be able to display his ambitions, otherwise Gao Shun thinks that it is better to be content with mediocrity. Gao Shun has no awe of the Han family, Gao Shun's parents died in famine since he was a child, if he didn't rely on his master to raise him, he was afraid that he would be just a dry bone in the wilderness, and his master was finally calculated by the enemy and died, Gao Shun can be said to be alone without relatives and for no reason, this kind of encounter makes it absolutely impossible for him to have any good feelings for the Han family.

And Han Zhong was also extremely helpless after receiving Gao Shun's return, after all, it was the Han army that took the initiative, and the Yellow Turban now had no choice but to retreat in the inner city. Of course, Han Zhong did not have the slightest intention of confronting the Han army, he was only thinking about how to save his life now, as for anything else, Han Zhong didn't care at all.

And Gao Shun naturally brought Xu Ji's words to Bocai.

When Bo Cai heard this, he was shocked and shouted that it was impossible. Gao Shun can certainly understand that anyone who loses to a fourteen-year-old boy will have such a reaction. But Bocai couldn't deny his failure, for Bocai, Xu Ji's words made him quite entangled, Bocai admitted that he had some intentions, after all, no one wants to die, since it is possible to live, who wants to die? This choice is not difficult, Bocai is certainly not stupid, but the question is whether Xu Ji can really guarantee his safety? When Bo Cai thought of Zhu Jun, there was only one question left in his heart.

The Wancheng Yellow Turbans fell into panic, and the reaction of the Han army made the Yellow Turbans full of worries about the uncertain future. Just like Bocai at this time, maybe this is the effect Xu Ji wants, the more he delays, the more he can wear out the consciousness of resistance.

Qin Jie and Zhu Jun both believed that the Yellow Turbans were not enough to deter all sides, and Huangfu Song's opinion was to accept them, for the very simple reason that the war had been fought for two months, and the soldiers who had been rotating on a pivotal basis could not continue to fight at such an intensity. The reason why Qin Jie wants to continue fighting is very simple, he wants revenge, the Yellow Turban Shengsheng lost even the governance office where he was beaten by Nanyang Taishou, this kind of face-saving thing is more difficult for the scholars to accept than killing him.

Of course, Xu Ji is very unimpressed, this so-called celebrity demeanor is simply nonsense, of course Xu Ji will not say it. Xu Ji will not participate in this kind of decision-making, the most taboo for strategists is to participate in decision-making, Xu Ji knows the three flavors, as long as the main general does not ask, Xu Ji will never speak, Mingzhe will never be wrong to protect himself, only the strategist who stays out of the matter can let the object of his surrender rest assured.

Of course, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Xu Ji's plan is good, but obviously at the time of this dispute, how could Zhu Jun not come to consult Xu Ji's opinion?

"Wen Lie, what do you think of the Yellow Turban's request to surrender?"

Xu Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is pushing himself to jump into the pit, no matter what he says, he will inevitably offend one party, not to mention that he still has some expectations for Gao Shun, Xu Ji agrees with Huangfu Song in his heart, but Zhu Jun's opinion is obviously to continue fighting. And Xu Ji was sure that even if he said that he would accept the surrender, Zhu Jun would not have anything to worry about himself, but Qin Jie may not be, his best efforts are nothing more than to advance. If Qin Jie gets in the way, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, but in the end, Xu Ji is still inclined to surrender, and all he thinks about is how to say it so that he can not touch Qin Jie's sensitive questions as much as possible.

Xu Ji pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Our army has been fighting for thousands of miles since Yingchuan, and it has been several months. It is not beneficial to fight again, the general must know that General Lu Zhi was frustrated in Julu, and he is afraid that he is also in urgent need of support. Xu Ji only said this, but Xu Ji mentioned a very key person: Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi is carrying Zhang Jiao's main force alone, and he is a giant deer on the main battlefield of Zhang Jiao, you can imagine how much pressure there is, and as nominal subordinates, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun must take into account the most elite main force of the Yellow Turban involved by Lu Zhi, so it is obviously extremely unwise to spend it here in Wancheng at this time, and the Yellow Turban must be given enough pressure, only limited to Wancheng, so it is impossible to share Lu Zhi's pressure.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun immediately decided to accept Han Zhong's invitation to surrender. Because the yellow scarves can afford to consume, but the Han army still can't afford to consume them. If you don't accept surrender now, you will only be more troublesome than the Yellow Turban will to die, and it will only be more troublesome to drag the 18,000 Han army to Wancheng.

In fact, the Han army has always been unable to consume, before Zhao Hong died, the Han army could not afford to consume, and at this time the Han army could not afford to consume time, Zhu Jun thought of the holy decree that he pressed urging him to conquer Wancheng as soon as possible, and he wanted to do his best but completely ignored the possible disaster, even if Emperor Ling would not want his life because of Zhu Jun's delayed attack, but it was inevitable that the dismissal of the official would be inevitable.

After Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's decision was unanimous, it was simple, after all, the main commander of the Han army would be the two of them, Qin Jie's opinion was almost ignored, after all, it was the county guard who was occupied by the Yellow Turban, no matter what the reason was, he could still survive if he lost the office, even if he killed Zhang Mancheng, he couldn't cover up his defeat, and this alone was enough to make people look down on him.

Soon, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song accepted the news of Han Zhong's surrender to Wancheng, the Yellow Turban breathed a sigh of relief, although Han Zhong asked to surrender before, but the Han army did not accept, the two sides are still in tense hostilities, which is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the nerves of the Yellow Turban who died in battle, and now the Han Army accepts the surrender then means the lifting of the state of war, which is undoubtedly a huge relief for the Yellow Turban who has been tense for a long time.

The soldiers who were responsible for taking over the surrender were Sun Jian and Cao Cao, and they needed to select soldiers from the remaining yellow turbans to supplement the Han army, after all, the losses of the soldiers of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, who were transferred to the two counties, were not small, it can be said that only about half of Zhu Jun's troops remained, and it was definitely impossible for the soldiers of Qin Jie and Xu Xuan to be incorporated into the command of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song. Xu Xuan led his troops back to Jingzhou after Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song accepted the surrender of the Yellow Turban, after all, he was still a assassin and could not leave his place for a long time, and he naturally went back after the war, while Qin Jie waited for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to take over the garrison after Nanyang was reorganized.

Of course, Xu Ji didn't care about all this, there were only two people he cared about: Bo Cai and Gao Shun. Bocai asked for an interview with Xu Ji through Gao Shun, and Xu Ji expected that Bocai had already surrendered, and what Bocai was worried about was of course clear to Xu Ji.

The first face-to-face meeting between Bocai and Xu Ji was in a small wine shop in Wancheng, the original store had long been missing, and the wine was obtained by Chen Zhi, which is said to have been forcibly snatched by him from Sun Jian.

At this moment, Bo Cai, who was sitting opposite Xu Ji, was as high-spirited and ambitious as when he was no longer in Changshe, and the scar left by self-destruction was quite hideous, Chen Zhi stood behind Xu Ji, and Gao Shun sat beside Bo Cai.

Xu Ji motioned for the two of them to raise their glasses and said: "It's a sigh that the situation is changeable, yesterday it was still a sword and soldier, but today it is drinking at the same table." The end is the impermanence of the world. With that, he smiled and drank himself.

Bo Cai said in a sullen voice: "Mr. Xu naturally sighs with leisure and ease, but General Gao and I are both defeated generals, so we can't talk about such Yaxing." ”

Xu Ji is not angry, it is normal for Bo Cai to have a grudge against him, he has calculated him countless times, it can be said that most of the that he has fallen to now is also Xu Ji's "credit", it is Xu Ji who only chuckled and asked: "I asked General Gao to convey it on his behalf, how is General Bo thinking?" ”

Bocai stretched out his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, regardless of the burning of his mouth, after drinking it all in one gulp, he exhaled a breath of hot air and said, "How can you protect my life?" I have hundreds of brothers who are willing to die for me, and you have really done the Lord? ”

After hearing this, Xu Ji smiled, Bo Cai actually had the intention of surrendering, but he was extremely uneasy about Xu Ji, which was to make Xu Ji ask Xu Ji to give him a guarantee.

"Xu Ji has his own way."

"I want to hear about it."

Gao Shun didn't speak at first, and finally asked the first sentence at this time.

Xu Ji smiled: "It's not clever, it's just a change of name and surname." ”

Of course, Bo Cai understood that it would not be so simple, so he simply laid out the carriage and horses: "Bo Cai is willing to surrender, but he only wants to save the lives of my three hundred brothers. "Bocai doesn't want to bend around anymore, since it's going to fall, it's better to simply save yourself trouble.

Xu Ji looked at the scar on Bocai's face, and said in a low voice: "If you serve me, you will say that it is my private soldier, with Chen Zhi and me, no one dares to embarrass you." ”

Bocai smiled twilightly, and asked while laughing, "Why do you look up to Bocai so much?" Bocai is just a Yellow Turban thief, how can I let the famous Xu Junshi protect me? ”

Xu Ji also smiled: "To be honest, Wen Lie's ability to calculate the general is to take advantage of the hidden place, and the general's ability to defeat General Zhu shows that there are hidden armor soldiers in his chest, since the general has no way out at this time, how can Xu Ji not take advantage?" ”

"Can you guarantee that Zhu Jun's old man won't kill me?"

Xu Ji said proudly: "I am willing to trade my life, if Zhu Jun is against the saber soldiers, Xu Ji will kill him and then kill himself for the crime of not being able to keep his promise!" ”

Bocai raised his glass again and drank it all, took a deep breath, and left the table and knelt on the ground: "So, Bocai, please meet the Lord." ”

Xu Ji hurriedly got up and left the table to pick up Bocai: "General, I can't help it, the kid is only fourteen this year, I'm afraid I can't afford the general's gift." ”

Bocai replied indifferently: "As a subordinate, you should have the way of a subordinate." Now there is no more Yellow Turban Bocai, only the old man under the master. ”

Xu Ji smiled bitterly and stroked Bocai and said, "General, I have wronged you, and from today onwards, I can't show people by my real name." ”

Bocai said with a heroic smile: "Now there are only eight out of twenty, and there is still a lot of time to make a name for himself." Lord, don't worry about me. ”

Xu Ji pondered for a long time and said: "You will temporarily pretend to be my retainer, surnamed Xu Minghao, and I will give you another word, Yuanyi." When the time comes, change back to your original life. ”

After Bo Cai thanked him, Xu Ji ordered him to gather his old brother quickly, if he waited for Cao Cao and Sun Jian to count the number, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get people from these two guys, Bo Cai naturally knew this, and he also knew that he was new to Xu Ji, so he naturally wanted to do things more beautifully, and he went resolutely. Chen Zhi also went with Bocai, after all, Chen Zhi still has the name of a captain, and he still has some use in the Han army.

At this time, only Gao Shun, who was sitting quietly at the table, and Xu Ji, who was facing him with a calm face, were left in the wine shop.
