Lu Zhi glanced at the human head on the ground, his face showed great joy, and when he saw that Gao Fei's body was red with blood, he walked to Gao Fei's side, grabbed Gao Fei's hand, and said loudly: "Ziyu lived up to expectations, and really came back with Zhang Jiao's head!" I heard that you were going north to chase Zhang Jiao, and I knew that you would surely succeed in this great achievement. It is a great blessing for me to have such a brave general as you. Come on, bring up 500 catties of gold! ”

The soldiers outside the door seemed to have prepared the gold, and as soon as Lu Zhi's voice fell, he walked up with two large boxes and placed them on the floor of the hall.

Gao Fei glanced at the two boxes of gold, and his heart was full of joy, thinking about his previous life to open a company and set up a factory, in order to make a lot of money, but in this troubled world, these little gold are nothing.

"Instead of swallowing this gold alone, it is better to use it to buy people's hearts!"

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to be greedy, turned around, turned to Lu Zhi and said: "My lord, the last general can successfully kill Zhang Jiao, and it has a great relationship with the adults and the soldiers, those soldiers who died in the siege of the city have not been appeased, the last general implores the lord to use these gold to appease the families of those soldiers who died on the battlefield, so as to show the benevolence of the adults to show their compassion for their subordinates!" ”

Lu Zhi said: "Ziyu is really a righteous man! Don't be proud of your achievements, Ben will not be wrong about you, this is the reward that Ben will propose at the beginning, the reward for killing Zhang Jiao is 500 catties, these 500 catties of gold are now your property, as for how to use it is your own business, you don't have to make it clear to Ben Jiang, but what Ben will promise must be fulfilled, otherwise it will be laughed at by the world. ”

When Gao Fei heard Lu Zhi's words, he didn't seem to know how to buy people's hearts, and he actually wasted such a good opportunity, so wouldn't this matter cheapen him? He arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if it were not for your assistance during the siege of the city, I would never have this merit, please report the number of people killed in the battle, and this gold should be used as a settlement fee for those soldiers who died in battle!" ”

The faces of all the military commanders present showed a burst of joy, and they all bowed their hands and said: "We have thanked Gao Sima on behalf of the dead soldiers. ”

Lu Zhi walked to his seat, sat down upright, and shouted, "Bring the thief Zhou Cang and Guan Hai up!" ”

"Guan Hai? Didn't I have someone to send him back? Gao Fei was shocked, and turned his face to see the soldiers walking in with Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, who were tied up with five flowers.

As soon as Guan Hai entered the door, he saw Gao Fei, with an expressionless face and a cold face, and scolded loudly: "Despicable villain! ”

Zhou Cang snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Brother Guan Hai, I told you a long time ago that none of the officials and soldiers are credible, you just don't listen!" Now that you and I can come together again, Huangquan Road is not lonely. ”

"Get on your knees!" Lu Zhi slapped the table in front of him angrily and shouted.

The soldier pressed Guan Hai and Zhou Cang to their knees, and the two of them struggled for a while, but to no avail, they stopped struggling. Guan Hai's eyes were full of hostility, and he looked at Gao Fei viciously.

Gao Fei didn't know what was going on, and when he shouted, "My lord, when the last general was chasing Zhang Jiao, he had already surrendered Guan Hai and let people escort him back, why did he ......?"

"The capital crime of hundreds of thousands of thieves in the city can be avoided, but these two thieves will definitely not be tolerated, they will confront Zhang Jiao for more than a month, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai have led the Yellow Turban thieves to harass our army many times, resulting in the death of most of our army's soldiers, these two people are Zhang Jiao's minions, they must be killed, in order to set an example!"

"Humph! If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother! Zhou Cang said in a righteous manner.

"My lord, now is the time to employ people, the last generals Zhou Cang and Guan Hai have fought many times, these two are not weak in force, it is better to leave the two of them, let them serve our army, and make the merit for the crime." Gao Fei was bent on subduing Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, so he hurriedly said.

"Ziyu, you are so confused! Three days ago, in the battle of Jiuligou, the two of them worked together to besiege you, almost putting you to death, Ben will kill the two of them, which can be regarded as revenge for you, why are you obsessed? Lu Zhidao.

Gao Fei said: "My lord, those who become big things are not informal, the former Zhou Cang and Guan Hai are still Yellow Turban thieves, and the reason why they want to kill me is just because they are their own masters." Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the Yellow Turban Thief is gone, if he can let the two of them serve the court, it can not only show the magnanimity of the court, but also show the heart of the adult. ”

Lu Zhi lowered his eyes, thought about it carefully, and asked softly: "Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, are you two willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the court?" ”

Guan Hai had already submitted to Gao Fei, but when he returned to Guangzong, he was seen by Lu Zhi and forcibly imprisoned, and he was also angry with Gao Fei in his heart. When he heard Lu Zhi's question, he hurriedly replied: "I have already demoted General Gao, so I am naturally willing to submit to the imperial court, and I ask your lord to be gracious!" ”

Lu Zhi asked again, "Zhou Cang, what about you?" ”

Zhou Cang glanced at Gao Fei and asked, "Gao Fei, can you really be blameless about the past?" ”

Gao Fei nodded and said, "The previous things are in the past, I won't take it to heart, otherwise, I won't intercede for you." I think you are also a good man, it is a pity that you died at such a young age, not to mention that you follow Zhang Jiao's side, whether the great sage and good teacher are immortals or not, I think you know better than me. But now that Zhang Jiao is dead, and the Yellow Turban Army is gone, why did you lose your life for this? ”

Zhou Cang thought about it, then turned his head to Lu Zhi and said, "It's okay if you want me to surrender, but I was captured by Gao Fei, and I can only surrender to the person who captured me!" ”

After everyone saw it, they looked at each other, and Lu Zhi's face showed some displeasure, but when he thought that Gao Fei was his general, surrendering Gao Fei would be equivalent to surrendering to him, so he was immediately relieved, and immediately smiled: "Zhou Cang, you get up, you will be Ziyu's general from now on!" Loosen the bindings for Zhou Cang and Guan Hai! ”

The soldiers untied the ropes on Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, and the two of them first bowed to Lu Zhi, and then bowed to Gao Fei together, and shouted at the same time: "My subordinates see my lord!" ”

Gao Fei hurriedly helped Zhou Cang and Guan Hai up, and he was extremely happy in his heart, even happier than he had gotten the five hundred catties of gold. He patted the shoulders of the two of them and said slowly, "No need to be polite. ”

Lu Zhi smiled, and saw that Zhou Cang and Guan Hai slowly retreated behind Gao Fei, so he said loudly: "Now that Guangzong has been decided, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves have surrendered, but there is no food in the city, and the surplus food of our army is less than three months, and there are still more than 100,000 Yellow Turban remnants in Xiaquyang. ”

Gao Fei said: "My lord, these yellow turban thieves are just ordinary people, only because they were bewitched by Zhang Jiao, they rebelled, and now they have surrendered to adults, and adults should make proper arrangements." The last general thought that these more than 100,000 people could be sent to other counties in batches to eat separately, which would naturally reduce the pressure on our army. ”

Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Well, what you said is good, just do what you want." ”

Gao Fei thought about this battle of Guangzong, although he killed Zhang Jiao, but the biggest credit was Lu Zhi, after all, Lu Zhi was the commander of this army, and he was really unhappy that he always worked for others like this, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "My lord, there will be a matter of pleading in the end, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"If you have something to say, why bother to spit it out." Lu Zhidao.

Gao Fei said: "My lord, now that Guangzong has been down, Zhang Jiao is also dead, but the news will definitely not spread to Xiaquyang so quickly." The last general thought that the soldiers were fast, and our army should gallop down Quyang with lightning speed, once our army came to the city, the remaining party of hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans in Quyang was caught off guard, and it would inevitably fall into chaos, and it would be possible to capture Quyang in a battle and completely level the Yellow Turbans in Hebei. ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhi's heart was surging, and he shouted loudly: "What you said is not bad, it's just that our army has just captured Xiaguangzong, thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded, and hundreds of thousands of surrendered Yellow Turban thieves have not yet been appeased, and they will not be able to leave here for a while......"

Gao Fei said: "My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, as long as the adult allocates 20,000 horses to the last general, within a month, the last general will definitely be able to capture Xiaquyang!" ”

"Great! It's just that...... There are many Yellow Turban thieves, is there less than 20,000 horses? Lu Zhidao.

Gao Fei said: "My lord, most of the Yellow Turban thieves are ordinary people who have not been trained, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the official army, the last general thinks that 20,000 horses are enough, as long as the adults are willing to allocate 20,000 elite soldiers to the last general, the last general will definitely be able to conquer Quyang in one fell swoop...... Make a name for yourself! ”

When Lu Zhi heard the last few words, he was very excited, and immediately clapped his hands happily and shouted, "Okay! Ziyu, when are you leaving? ”

"The sooner the better!"

"Well, then, you go back to the camp today to rest, and tomorrow you will gather 20,000 horses and horses, and how about you set off tomorrow?"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Alright, you go back to the camp outside the city to rest!"

"The last will retire!"

Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Guan Hai to the door of the hall, then stopped, looked back at the two boxes of gold on the ground, and said to Lu Zhi: "My lord, please distribute these two boxes of gold!" ”

Lu Zhi nodded, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Out of the county office, Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Guan Hai back to the camp outside the city, but saw Zhou Cang's face with a difficult color, so he said to Zhou Cang: "Tomorrow is going to attack Quyang, I know your current mood, you were originally brothers in life and death who fought together, but now you want to turn your gun to deal with them, your heart is uncomfortable, right?" ”

Zhou Cang nodded and did not speak.

Guan Hai said: "Brother Zhou Cang, if you want to open something, there is nothing uncomfortable, what is the reason why we participated in the Yellow Turban?" Don't we have something to eat, but now that we have surrendered to our lords, and we should assist them in dealing with thieves, why should we sigh for a long time? ”

Zhou Cang said: "Having said that, but after all, they are brothers who intersect with life and death, so you can do it?" ”

Although Gao Fei has no deep friendship with Zhou Cang and Guan Hai, he can also find out the differences between the two people, in contrast, Zhou Cang is a person who values righteousness, while Guan Hai is relatively poor, and seems to only pay attention to his own interests. Since he has taken these two people in, it is equivalent to two more helpers, and he naturally has a way to control these two people, just like he leads the staff of a company in modern times.

He patted Zhou Cang's shoulder and said with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about, when the time comes, you can let people who have a life-and-death relationship with you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so that things will be simple." ”

Guan Hai smiled: "My lord! ”
