Chapter 46 Co-optation
The masked man said coldly: "I'm the same as you, I didn't know how powerful this fourth prince was until this moment. Believe it or not. ”
Zhang Niujiao had calmed down a little, feeling that the other party had no reason to hide this kind of news, so he snorted.
The masked man said to Zhang Niujiao: "I will report this matter to Miss truthfully, and I believe that Miss will not turn a blind eye to the king's loss!" ”
When Zhang Niujiao heard this, his heart felt a little better.
At this time, in Cangting, Zhang Lang, accompanied by Zhang He and Zhang Yeyu, walked in front of the captured more than 5,000 Montenegrin bandits. I saw a large area of black oppression, guarded by more than a thousand eagle soldiers, and everyone showed a look of frustration and worry.
Zhang Lang's eyes were quickly attracted by the two eye-catching men standing in front, the person on the left was very tall, although he was not particularly strong, but he gave people a very shrewd feeling, and he was a rare figure in armor in the Black Mountain Army.
The man on the right was a little too strong, and the whole person was almost completely horizontally, with extremely broad shoulders, extremely thick chest, and the muscles of his arms raised high, as if he had been carved out of a whole rock.
The face of the national character, the temperament is honest, the eyes are staring at himself, revealing a very awe-inspiring look.
Zhang He said to Zhang Lang: "Big brother, a total of more than 5,000 people have been captured, what should I do?" ”
At this moment, the extraordinarily strong man suddenly rushed towards Zhang Lang. Zhang Yeyu frowned and immediately stepped forward, raised his spear and pointed at the big man, and shouted, "Stand down!" ”
The big man ignored Zhang Yeyu, knelt down towards Zhang Lang with a plop, and shouted loudly: "The fourth prince is a hero, and the villain wants to work!" ”
Zhang Lang didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and smiled.
At this time, the big man who was standing with this big man just now also rushed forward to worship and said, "The villain is also willing to serve the fourth son!" I joined the Yellow Turban Army because I couldn't survive anymore, and I didn't want to be a thief, so I asked the fourth prince to take it in! ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the remaining more than 5,000 captives knelt down towards Zhang Lang, some expressed their willingness to serve, and some begged Zhang Lang to let them live, one after another, and it was noisy.
Zhang Lang was so noisy that he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, Zhang He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Quiet! This shout was roared out by internal force, and it exploded like thunder, instantly breaking through the large noise at the scene.
All the captives were in a pang, and quickly closed their mouths, and the scene was quiet all of a sudden, and they all looked at Zhang Lang with overwhelmed eyes.
Zhang Lang glanced at these people, thought for a moment, and raised his voice: "I know that most of you are originally honest people, and it is because you can't survive that you will join the Yellow Turban Army and take risks!" ……”
When the captives heard this, their hearts were touched fiercely, and at the same time, their hearts were filled with emotion.
Zhang Lang is talking about their hearts, but in recent years, all official figures have ignored this, regarded them as thieves, and ruthlessly arrested them, so when they heard Zhang Lang's words at this moment, everyone felt an excitement of finally meeting a confidant!
Zhang Lang said: "I can take you in, among you who are willing to stay, I welcome, from now on to become my subordinates, everyone advances and retreats together, life and death together!"
If you don't want to stay, I won't force you, you can leave now, I will never embarrass you! ”
Glancing at everyone, he raised his voice and said, "You can choose now." ”
Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to do for a while.
The extraordinarily strong man kneeling in front of Zhang Lang was the first to hug his fist at Zhang Lang and said: "Villain Zhou Cang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" As he spoke, he bowed heavily to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Zhou Cang? I didn't expect this guy to be Zhou Cang who carried the knife for Guan Yu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”
At this time, the big man next to him also bowed to Zhang Lang and said, "The villain Pei Yuanshao is willing to serve the four sons of dogs and horses!" ”
Zhang Lang's heart moved, because he had also heard of this name. I couldn't help but laugh to myself: Okay, I didn't expect to receive two celebrities from the Three Kingdoms in one day, although they belong to the less famous level.
stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be my subordinates." The two were overjoyed, and couldn't help but bow: "Thank you for taking it in!" ”
When the more than 5,000 captives saw this scene, hundreds of people immediately poured out, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender, and then people continued to come out to express their willingness to surrender, and after a while, more than 3,000 people gathered in front of Zhang Lang, saying that they wanted to surrender to Zhang Lang.
However, although the atmosphere was warm, there were still more than 2,000 people who were hesitant and hesitant.
Zhou Cang saw that there were still many people hesitating, and couldn't help but scold: "It is a blessing for us to meet a character like the fourth prince, why should you hesitate?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and a leader-like figure mustered up the courage to come out, and bowed to Zhang Lang: "Although we want to serve the fourth son, but, but my wife and children are still on Taihang Mountain, if we serve, they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed......"
Many followed.
Zhang Lang nodded, glanced at the nervous captives, and raised his voice: "I said that I won't force you, I won't force you." Since your family is still on Taihang Mountain, then go back. ”
The captives didn't expect Zhang Lang to really be true to his word, they were surprised and moved, and they knelt down to Zhang Lang one after another, thanked the great grace, and then got up and left one after another.
Since Zhang Lang had already spoken, the surrounding Yingyang Army did not stop them and let them leave.
And the 3,000 people who stayed, after seeing this scene, were moved in their hearts, and at the same time, they also strengthened their determination to follow Zhang Lang.
The moon shadow standing in the distance watched this scene silently, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she muttered to herself: "Fourth son, you have once again surprised the slave family!"
With the combination of grace and might, he subdued these unruly Black Mountain thieves in a blink of an eye, which is really amazing! ”
Zhang Lang organized the 3,000 Montenegrin Army into a Cangting Army, with Zhang He as the main general and Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang as deputy generals.
When Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang heard such an appointment, they were surprised and moved, and they only felt that they could only repay the great kindness of the fourth prince with this life!
Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led 6,500 officers and soldiers to escort 500,000 loads of grain and grass and a large amount of baggage back on the road.
In order to prevent the recurrence of the accident, Zhang Lang ordered everyone to hurry at full speed, and sent scouts to guard the surroundings.
Two days passed unconsciously, and at noon that day, the team continued to hurry after eating dry food. At this moment, there was a sudden rise of smoke and dust in front of him, as if a large number of troops were coming!
Everyone was taken aback when they saw this scene, and Zhang Lang immediately ordered the team to stop advancing, ordering the Yingyang army to move forward and the rest of the army to protect the grain and grass.
