Originally, according to the agreement between the two parties, Su Ming would let them go if Gao Ran won Zhang Xiu.

And now it's Zhang Xiuying, Gao Ran has lost, but Su Ming still wants to let them go.

This made Ju Yi, Gao Lan, and Zhang He a little overwhelmed.

You must know that Su Ming is the culprit who killed Yuan Shao!

Ju Yi, Gao Ran, Zhang He, and their third brothers, actually have a grudge against Su Ming in their hearts.

Although Yuan Shao said that he was not a master, he also had the grace of knowing the three of them.

They were defeated and captured, and there were originally two paths, one was to surrender, and the other was to be killed.

Now, Su Ming is going to let them go.

This made Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran Brother Trinity for a while, and they didn't know whether to resent Su Ming or thank Su Ming.

"The three brothers and I are willing to gamble and lose, so we won't trouble General Su."

"Besides, if General Su lets the three of us go, the prime minister won't be able to explain anywhere!" Ju Yi opened his mouth and politely rejected Su Ming.

However, Su Ming smiled and said, "General Ju is a little interesting, let you go?" You don't want to go yet? ”

"Could it be that you have developed feelings in this cell?"

"Since I can let the three of them leave, I can naturally settle with the prime minister, and the three of them don't have to worry about it."

"The rivers and lakes are far away, I hope we can see each other again."

After saying this, Su Ming didn't talk to Ju Yi too much, but left the cell with someone.

Su Ming left, Ju Yi, Gao Ran, and Zhang He stood there at a loss, and they didn't know whether to stay or go out.

After a long time, Gao Ran took the lead in relieving himself, and said to Ju Yi and Zhang He: "Big brother, second brother, since you let us go, let's go?" ”

"Let's write down this favor, if he falls into our hands on the battlefield, let's let him go once, and we will treat this favor as a return."

At this time, Ju Yi and Zhang He also reacted.

Zhang He also nodded and agreed: "Big brother, let's get out of here first!" ”

The three of them looked at each other, then walked together towards the outside of the cell.

The jailers in the cell were not hindered by anyone and let them go out.

Su Ming ordered them to go down and allow them to leave, and naturally no one dared to stop them in this cell.

The road was unimpeded, Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran the three of them, and they were about to get out of the cell soon.

At this moment, a partial general came over and shouted, "Three generals, please stay." ”

Hearing this Cao General call them, Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran's faces sank together.

At this time, they thought to themselves, could it be that Su Ming regretted it, and he was unwilling to let them go?

In the blink of an eye, this general Cao had already come to them and said, "Three generals, you look too embarrassed now. ”

"Su Ming Gongzi has ordered, take the servants to wash up, change your clothes and leave!"

Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran glanced at each other, and their current appearance was indeed extremely embarrassed.

He was wearing prison uniforms, unkempt and messy.

Moreover, there is a smell of stinking on the body.

Ju Yi arched his hand towards this Cao Jiang and said, "Since this is the case, thank you!" ”

Anyway, Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran all owe Su Ming a life.

I owe my life, and it's not bad to take a shower and change my clothes.

Of course, the main thing is that they are really embarrassed in the way they look now.

Besides, if the third brother went to the street wearing a prison uniform, then maybe others would think that the third of them had escaped from prison!

Ju Yi, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and their third brother followed this member Cao Jiang to the mansion behind the cell, where bath water and some clean clothes had been prepared.

After the three of them took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

The general gave them back their horses and weapons, and prepared coils for them.

Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran left the cell refreshed.

The three of them were walking down the street, and the street was full of fund-raising points.

Countless businessmen and ordinary people are raising military funds for Cao Cao, and these people are enthusiastic.

The three of them passed through several recruitment points, which were full of people queuing up to register.

"This"

"Big brother, why is Cao Mengde so popular in Youzhou?"

"How long has he occupied Youzhou, and the people have actually been attached to it like this?" Zhang He asked with a puzzled expression.

Ordinary people take the initiative to raise money for military spending?

Moreover, there are long queues at the recruitment points?

Seeing the scenes in front of them, this made Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Ran a little unbelievable.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought they were dreaming.

You know, in this day and age, being a soldier is not an honorable profession.

In this era, soldiers were called Qiu Ba.

Even, there is a saying among the people that a good man is not a soldier.

The soldiers are generally idle men, lazy people, and some people who can't eat, and go to the army to eat.

In many cases, the princes had to forcibly conscript the people to serve as soldiers.

In a scene like today, where the recruiting points are queuing up and the people are scrambling to become soldiers, it is really the first time that the third brother has seen each other.

The same is true for military spending.

In other princes, military expenses were levied on the common people by increasing taxes.

Like today, it is the first time that the businessmen and ordinary people have taken the initiative to raise money for military expenses.

Ju Yi looked around and said in a solemn tone: "It seems that we have missed a lot of things in the days we have been locked up in the cell!" ”

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Cao Mengde is already unstoppable!"

Gao Ran looked at Ju Yi and Zhang He, who were moved, and said, "Big brother, second brother, let's find a restaurant, have a full meal, and buy some dry food." Then, go to Qingzhou to take refuge in the eldest prince! ”

Because they were locked in the cell for too long, Gao Ran, Ju Yi, and Zhang He didn't know what was going on outside.

When they were captured, Jizhou had already fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and now, Youzhou was also in Cao Cao's hands.

Therefore, Gao Ran believes that Qingzhou should still be in the hands of the eldest prince Yuan Tan now.

As for what Su Ming said before, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi took refuge in the Wuhuan people, and brought the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu tribes to attack Youzhou.

In Gao Ran's view, this is completely nonsense.

However, Ju Yi sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "I'm afraid, this Qingzhou is no longer in the hands of the eldest prince!" ”

When he was in Laurie just now, Ju Yi didn't believe what Su Ming said.

However, when Su Ming really let them go, and seeing the changes in Youzhou, Ju Yi really believed Su Ming's words a little.
