Chapter 186: Pan Zhang
Lujiang County
After rushing all the way to the Taishou Mansion, Liu Xun couldn't wait to order someone to bring Pan Zhang up first, and the war was about to start.
Liu Xun also knows basic common sense, this persuasion is definitely a technical job, and after the experience of the last time, Liu Xun knows that he can't persuade them to surrender together. Because if you happen to meet a die-hard element when you are persuading you to surrender, and you will not surrender to death, and the person who originally wanted to surrender sees that others are so backbone, is it still embarrassing to surrender in front of your colleagues? The answer is definitely no.
So although Liu Xun felt troublesome, he could only come one by one.
After only a moment's effort, I saw Pan Zhang, who was on the back of a tiger, being pressed up. Seeing this, Liu Xun immediately changed his smile and said softly: "General Pan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I captured you alive that day and persuaded you to surrender, but you refused to agree." Today, I still have the cheekiness to bring up the old things, I wonder if the general is willing to agree? I believe that with your bravery, General Pan, if you are willing to serve me, it will not be long before you will make a name for yourself in our army, and you will be a marquis in the future. β
Pan Zhang glanced at Liu Xun with some complications, and then hung his head and was silent. After staying here for a few months, Pan Zhang also figured out some problems, although he was a general of the defeated army, Liu Xun did not embarrass him during this time, and gave him the face he deserved, and he was served with good food and drink. If Pan Zhang is not grateful, Pan Zhang himself does not believe it.
After being silent for a long time, Pan Zhang sighed in a low voice and said: "I have also heard that Taishou did not burn and loot after conquering Jiangdong, and he is indeed a benevolent and righteous lord." Today, I am fortunate to spare my life too much, if I don't know what to do, it's really a little unreasonable. But there is a reluctant request, I wonder if Taishou can agree? β
Seeing Pan Zhang talking like this, thinking that there would be a play, Liu Xun glanced at Pan Zhang happily at the moment, and then said solemnly:
"I don't know what your request is, General Pan? As long as I, Liu Xun, can do it, I will spare no effort. β
"Lord Taishou, yes, you also know that a certain book belongs to the Jiangdong Sun family, but because he was captured by Taishou, and he is grateful for Taishou's benevolence and righteousness, this is a little moved. However, the old lord is still there, but a certain has no face to face, so a certain does not measure up to ask for permission from Taishou, hoping to let my lord Sun Quan have a way to live, if it is too shou can save the old master's life worry-free.
A certain will be cheeky and submit to you, and he will not regret it in this life, even if he faces Jiangdong's old friends in the future, he will be worthy of his heart, and he can be a man with a straight chest. If you refuse to agree to let the old master live, you don't hate it, but I just hope that Taishou can let you go with the old master. β
Because Pan Zhang was under house arrest, he didn't know that Liu Xun had promised Sun Shangxiang to let Sun Quan go, but this did not affect Pan Zhang's affection for the old master.
"So that's ......." Liu Xun's heart moved after hearing this, it seems that leaving Sun Quan is really the right move. At that moment, Liu Xun also decided to cooperate with Pan Zhang and conceal the fact that Sun Quan had been spared. Even if he learned the reason in the future, it would not be a big deal, after all, he was indeed honest if he did not kill Sun Quan.
At that moment, Liu Xun said in embarrassment: "General Pan, Ben Taishou to tell the truth, the reason why I am so eager for a talent like a general, the most important thing is to see that the general is brave and invincible, and more importantly, he is loyal and courageous, so Ben Taishou is very fond of it."
However, General, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, and you naturally know what it means for Ben Taishou to leave Sun Quan behind, and the risks involved are indeed very highγγγγγγ β
Hearing this, Pan Zhang immediately lowered his head again, and said softly, "Yes, isn't itγγγγγγ β
Seeing Pan Zhang like this, Liu Xun also knew that the time had come to buy people's hearts, and sighed at the moment, "Alas, the general doesn't have to be like this, the general's loyalty and courage moved me, as for the conditions you said... That's it, that's it, for the sake of General Pan's loyalty and righteousness, I, Liu Xun, will let Sun Quan live. But I hope that the general must agree, and after that, you Pan Zhang will owe nothing to the Sun family, so far you can be regarded as two clear. I hope that in the future, under my command, you will be as loyal to me as you are to the Sun. Let Ben Taishou not regret today's decision. β
Pan Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt down heavily in excitement, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your great kindness, Pan Zhang will live up to you in this life. β
Liu Xun was overjoyed when he saw Pan Zhang's solemn acceptance, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up:
"I know what you want, General Pan doesn't have to be like this. You have been a general for many years, and I have seen the battlefield performance, you are brave and brave, I intend to arrange for you to serve as the commander of a thousand commanders first, although it is a bit overkill, I hope General Pan will not dislike it, I don't know what you think? β
"Centurion? This, this, I'm not dreaming, am I? Pan Zhang listened to Liu Xun's words, and suddenly felt a little incredulous, after all, he was just a general, and he didn't have any military merits, even if he was promoted exceptionally, at most he would be a ten-person commander. It would be a top of the sky to be able to become a hundred generals, but now he has been directly awarded the post of a thousand generals, and it is also the position of a lieutenant in the Jiangdong Army, such a position is simply a step to the sky for the Jiangdong Army, and the gold content of the thousand generals under Liu Xun Pan Zhang is clear, and they are basically Liu Xun's henchmen when he started his family.
Even Pan Zhang, who has been pure and low in desire for a while, is now shocked, but he feels that this promotion is too much, and he deserves it. At that moment, I couldn't help but say gratefully to Liu Xun:
"Thank you for the lord's love, but the last general does not have this talent and military merits, and please send the lord to send a virtuous person to this important position, the last general only needs to start from a small soldier, and he is already satisfied."
But I saw Liu Xun wave his hand and said: "General Pan, what you said is wrong, although you have just submitted to me, but your character is obvious to everyone, and your ability is even more first-class." Sometimes humility is a good thing, but it can't be generalized. General Pan, you are also a generation of talents, you should not be arrogant, but should have the courage to bear heavy burdens. β
"Thank you, my lord, your words will be understood in the end, and you will obey your fate." Pan Zhang listened to what Liu Xun said, nodded, and said solemnly.
So far, Pan Zhang, after a few months, finally chose to submit to Liu Xun's command.
Liu Xun saw that he had succeeded in persuading Pan Zhang to surrender, and he was excited and immediately prepared to make persistent efforts to persuade Lu Meng, one of the four major governors.
After pushing Pan Zhang, Liu Xun ordered Lu Meng to be brought up left and right.
But after a moment, the heroic Lu Meng walked towards Liu Xun with his head held high, Lu Meng's mind was not comparable to a fierce man like Pan Zhang, at this moment he saw that Liu Xun was still holding his head high and did not bow down, but just squinted his eyes and asked:
"Whatever you want from me, if you persuade me to surrender, forget it. Everything I have in Lu Meng is given by the lord, and I am nothing without him, so I am only loyal to the lord in this life, and you don't have to work hard. β
Liu Xun just smiled when he heard this, he was still ready to continue to fry cold rice with Sun Quan, after all, Sun Quan was easy to use, and the effect was obvious, so he said softly at the moment:
"General Lu, our army is moving south, attacking all the way and being invincible, and now all the counties in Jiangdong have been taken by me. Jiangdong's civil and military forces, including Zhou Yu and Lu Su, were all captured, of course, including your old lord Sun Quan, who has already asked me to surrender. At this moment, Sun Quan himself is difficult to protect, what is the use of you being loyal to him, the Jiangdong Sun clan is finished. β
Lu Meng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was furious, and shouted: "What? The lord surrendered? Bastard, don't be deceived! My lord is a great man of the world, and even if he is defeated and dies, he will never surrender. β
Due to the long distance, Lu Meng is more intelligent and can analyze problems. Therefore, all the news that happened in the land of Jiangdong, Liu Xun blocked him, and at this moment, Lu Meng did not hear the news of Sun Quan's surrender from Liu Xun until now, and suddenly heard this news, how did Lu Meng accept it.
What shocked Lu Meng was that Jiangdong was thousands of miles away, with millions of people under his command, and even three counties, but there were at least more than 50,000 warriors, and the benefits of the sailors, it was unbelievable that Jiangdong would be defeated and surrendered in such a short period of time.
But these are nothing, what really shocked him was that Sun Quan was so unbearable, and he actually chose to surrender on his knees, which was really not what he knew about Sun Quan.
After venting, Lu Meng looked at Liu Xun, who had never defended himself, fixedly. In this wordless gaze, it seemed that a heavy circle hit his heart.
Lu Meng couldn't help but sit on the ground, and thousands of images flashed in the noise.
According to Liu Xun, it means that he conquered the entire territory of Jiangdong in just a few months. Even with the full assistance of Lu Su and Zhou Yu, they still lost to the person in front of them.
At this moment, Liu Xun personally came to surrender, no matter how unbearable such a person was rumored before, but at this moment, Lu Meng had already acquiesced in his heart for some reason that this person must be a man of great talent.
In the past, Liu Xun's various unbearable things may have been just to confuse them, but now it is true, Jiangdong has been completely captured by the person in front of him in a short period of time, and this kind of person is definitely admirable.
However, admiration is admiration, but this does not mean that he Lu Meng will surrender to him.
After Lu Meng regained his senses, after some consideration, he finally made a decision: "If the lord is still alive, everything can be discussed, but if the lord has an accident or is executed by you, I don't care what crimes the lord has committed before, and whether he is a hero or not, even if I die, Lu Meng will not choose to surrender to you." β
The meaning of Lu Meng's words, Liu Xun naturally understood. However, Liu Xun didn't care about this at all, and said with a smile:
"What did General Lu say, now Sun Quan's life and death are in your hands, do you want him to die or live?"
