It is said that Zhao Chen finally subdued Guan Yu, and Liu Bei also announced the results of the disposition of the military order in the barracks, Guan Yu broke through the camp with thousands of horses, and Zhao Chen planned to retire Sun Ce, both of them completed the military order, and they were both meritorious ministers, and everyone was happy.

Sun Qian also returned to Guangling City and reported the whole process.

Although Zhao Chen didn't care on his face, he still had some regrets in his heart.

After all, Tai Shici and Sun Shao are the talents that Zhao Chen is very eager for at the moment, with these two people, the strength of Liu Bei's army can be greatly improved, the arrangement of troops can have one more available general, and the supply of the march can be more guaranteed.

In addition, Zhao Chen is still thinking about Lu Xun, who took refuge in Wu County, he should only be thirteen years old at this time, if he can recruit him to stay by his side, isn't it better than outside?

Everyone was talking and laughing in the county office, discussing the future.

Speaking of the three enemy generals captured alive, Liu Bei sighed: "Military advisor, now is the time to employ people, it would be great if you could recruit a few people." ”

Jian Yong, who was in charge of the incorporation, was a little embarrassed, why didn't he want these people to work for the lord, and he would be able to charge into battle in the future, but unfortunately these people didn't get in.

"Lord, Huang Gai is Sun Jian's old minister, he followed Sun Jian all the way to fight, and then followed Sun Ce, as if he was a general of the Sun family, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue."

"The original Guangling guarded Wu Jing, although Wuyi is not as good as Huang Gai, but he does have a set of governance capabilities. It's a pity that this person is Sun Ce's uncle and can't be convinced. ”

"As for Yuan Shu's general, Qiao Rui......" Jian Yong turned his head and glanced at Zhang Fei, as if hoping that Zhang Fei would come forward to explain.

Zhang Fei is straight, and when he saw Jian Yong looking at him, he immediately said: "Mr. looked at what I did, it was the old man of the bridge who was disobedient, so I did it." He dared to scold my military advisor again, and I would beat him once I saw it. ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, he was also interested, so he asked Zhang Fei: "Yide, what grievances do you have with Qiao Rui, let's hear about it." ”

Zhang Fei came to the end: "Strategist, you come to evaluate the theory." According to the explanation of the military advisor, I broke his 30,000 army with 5,000 elites, and that guy kept scolding and scolding, saying that I Lao Zhang didn't have that resourcefulness, it must be someone else's scheme, and the person who made the plot was vicious, and he didn't even let go of the people's houses, he was a bad person! ”

"My old Zhang got angry when he heard it, and said that I can, but I can't say that I am a military advisor. What does Qiao Rui know, in terms of combat, he is not my opponent, and in terms of wisdom and strategy, he can't compare with the military advisor, so he knows that he is crooked. ”

Zhao Chen smiled with relief: "So you beat him?" ”

Zhang Fei stretched out three fingers embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Hehe, hit three times." ”

Good fellow, this is a captive for three days, once a day!

However, Zhao Chen was very pleased, Zhang Fei was rough on his face, but he was delicate and persistent in his heart, once he identified a person, he would firmly protect him, no matter who he was, he could not speak disrespectfully.

If the person who was insulted by Qiao Rui was replaced by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei would also beat him up.

Liu Bei remained silent, quietly listening to Zhang Fei's explanation.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment, beckoned to Zhang Fei, motioned for him to sit down, turned around and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yi De is a man of temperament, and he acts impulsively, but in Chen's opinion, there is no big problem. Although Qiao Rui is a general of Yuan Shu, he can lead the army to the battle, but he has no great talent, and he is far inferior to Huang Gongfu. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "What the military advisor said is reasonable, but after the third brother made such a fuss, I am afraid it will be more difficult to subdue." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the dust has a plan (it's this sentence again, haha...... ), can make Huang Gongfu willingly submit. As for Wu Jing and Qiao Rui, it is okay to be willing to submit, and it doesn't matter if they don't, there are already others. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Military advisor, please speak!" ”

"People will come in a while, and they still need the cooperation of the lord."

Zhao Chen leaned into Liu Bei's ear and muttered a few words, and Liu Bei's frowning brows slowly stretched.

"Good! The third brother will bring the three of them. ”

Zhang Fei strode away.

After a while, Zhang Fei ran in all the way in with a loud voice: "Big brother, the enemy brought Huang Gai, Wu Jing, and Qiao Rui." ”

Before I entered the door, I heard Qiao Rui shouting incessantly: "I want to see if that person has such a vicious plan!" ”

Several soldiers escorted the three people to the lobby.

Wu Jing slowly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and remained silent.

Huang Gai was proud and looked sideways.

Qiao Rui held his head high and stared at Zhao Chen.

Three people, three personalities, three postures.

Liu Bei glanced at the three of them, and finally set his eyes on Zhao Chen.

As the lord, the decision-making power is him, but everything still depends on Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen understood, got up and walked to Qiao Rui, and said, "General Qiao, listen to Yide, do you want to see me?" ”

Qiao Rui carefully examined the young man in front of him, then shook his head and said, "There is no one in Liu Bei's military camp, such a person who has been tortured can be a military advisor, no wonder he is so vicious!" ”

Zhao Chen was not angry, but Zhang Fei kicked Qiao Rui again.

"Call you nonsense!"

Qiao Rui is a Confucian general after all, ignoring Zhang Fei's rudeness.

Zhao Chen picked up the bridge and said, "Is it difficult for Yuan Highway to employ people based on appearance?" It's far inferior to my father-in-law. ”

Qiao Rui was slightly startled and retorted: "A person who uses fire to attack the people's houses is not worthy of commenting on my lord." ”

Zhang Fei kicked again: "You know a fart!" My military advisor has thought of it a long time ago. After being fooled around by you, the houses of the people of Xutai were already in tatters, and the military advisor ordered me to move all the people to Huaiyin and build new houses for them. They live and work in peace and contentment in Huaiyin! ”

When Qiao Rui heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Huang Gai on the side also cast admiring glances at Liu Bei and Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen took the opportunity to say: "General Qiao, the lord of my family is a relative of the Han family, and he is determined to revive the Han family. He has admired the general's prestige for a long time, but I wonder if the general can abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

Qiao Rui's eyes were cloudy for a moment, and then became firm again.

"Although I am not a famous general, I also know the principle of loyalty."

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Yide, take General Qiao down." ”

Zhang Fei took the order and left.

Zhao Chen walked up to Huang Gai again and was about to question.

Liu Bei got up and stopped: "Houde, don't be rude to the general!" ”

Then he went around behind Huang Gai and untied Huang Gai.

"The general is disturbed a lot, and the people in the army are rude, but there is no reason to be disrespectful."

Huang Gai looked at Liu Bei with wide eyes, and his slight actions made him feel warm.

He replied: "The general of the defeated army, how to let Liu Yuanjun do it." ”

"Hey, the general's words are wrong, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the general doesn't have to worry about it. Bei has been looking up to the general for a long time, can the general obey orders under the tent? ”

Huang Gai shook his head and said, "Thank you Liu Yuanjun, it's just that one minister doesn't matter to the other masters." ”

Zhao Chen knew that Huang Gai was easy-going, resolute, brave, and loyal, so he naturally would not give up the original owner Sun Ce easily.

He took Huang Gai's words and said: "General Gongfu, I have heard of the great name for a long time. The general followed Sun Taishou, who was appointed by the Han court, in other words, the general was the general of the imperial court, not the general of Sun Ce and Sun Bofu. Right? ”

"That's nature!"

Zhao Chen moved Huang Gai's loyal ministers to the Han family with one move, and the next thing was easy.

He continued: "Sun Bofu, as a defender, did not think about governance, but attacked Yangzhou. Liu Zhou Mu was appointed by the imperial court, and Sun Bofu's move to ignore the imperial court was tantamount to rebellion. ”

"General Huang is the one who wants to help the rebel?!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Gai was startled, and he felt a little panicked in his heart.

What does rebellion mean? That is to be spurned by the world and beaten by everyone!

Zhao Chen struck while the iron was hot: "My lord Liu Xuande, a relative of the Han family, was appointed by the imperial court." The recovery of Guangling County this time is a matter of course, and it is indeed a meritorious act. If the general is willing to help my lord, he will definitely be able to achieve a career that will last forever! ”

Zhao Chen said a few words, and Huang Gai's heart was surging, who doesn't want to leave a name in this troubled world.

It's just that......

Huang Gai was still hesitant in his heart.

Zhao Chen knew that he basically said that Huang Gai would move, but if Huang Gai surrendered to Liu Bei, he was worried that he would inevitably face Sun Ce on the battlefield in the future, so he couldn't bear it.

"General Huang must not worry, if General Huang follows my lord, my lord will go north to recover Xuzhou in a few days, and there is no need to face Sun Bofu. If you don't want to help my lord, you can give the horse and coil it, and let the general go back. ”

Zhao Chen whispered in Huang Gai's ear again: "Sun Bofu's character is flawed, and it won't take his life in five years." ”

Huang Gai couldn't believe it, slowly took the coil in Zhao Chen's hand, glanced at Liu Bei, and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, Zhao Chen waved his hand and said: "Enemy general Wu Jing, help the thieves to rebel, disturb the Han family, and kill immediately!" ”

Without Wu Jingfen speaking, the two guards dragged him out and beheaded him in front of Huang Gai.

Huang Gai looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously and angrily.

Zhao Chen smiled and took a step forward and said: "Wu Jing has a special identity, helping thieves to stir up chaos, my lord Kuang helps the Han family, so he naturally wants to kill thieves." It's just that General Huang went back at this time, I don't know what Sun Ce will think? Why was Wu Jing beheaded, but General Huang was able to return safely? ”

"Once there is suspicion between people, it will only continue to amplify until the trust is completely broken. The general's trip will only make Sun Ce suspicious of the general, and he can no longer be reused. Does General Huang want to hate and be a pawn for the rest of his life? ”

Huang Gai's clenched fist slowly loosened, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Zhao Chen's advance and retreat opened a window for Huang Gai, and also blocked his way back to Jiangdong.

Huang Gai turned around and walked into the county office and knelt on one knee.

"Huang Gai is willing to follow the lord!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, immediately helped up Huang Gai, and then glanced at Zhao Chen with gratitude.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, and there was another fierce general under Liu Bei's account.
