Outside Luoyang City, the Jizhou Army Barracks.

In the big tent, Wang Lei, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other civil servants and generals gathered together.

Huang Zhong was sitting in danger, and reported: "This campaign fought with the Xiliang Army, and captured nearly [-] Xiliang Army soldiers. The ordinary Xiliang Army soldiers have been re-screened. Those who are qualified will be sent to the army, and those who are not qualified will be sent home. The Xiliang soldiers have been dealt with, but Li Ru, Xu Huang, Dong Yue and other generals of the Xiliang army are still detained in the camp, waiting for the lord to deal with them."

Wang Lei nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "Bring Li Ru to the tent first."

"promise,"

Huang Zhong waved his hand and gave the order.

Not long after, Li Ru was brought into the camp by soldiers.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Li Ru, and he smiled and said, "Student Wen Xian, are you willing to work for me?"

Li Ru shook his head and said, "I don't want to,"

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Wen Xiansheng, we were against each other before, it was determined by our respective positions, and our different identities determined that we fought against each other. However, Wen Xiansheng's talent is unquestionable, I admire it very much , Wen Xiansheng follows me, I can guarantee that you will not fail me, and I will not fail you,"

Li Ru still shook his head, and even sarcastically said: "Is the general showing me kindness?"

Wang Lei said, "Of course not,"

Li Ru replied: "General, don't waste your words in vain. I won't surrender. Let me ask you, General, you have been serving as General, but you were defeated by me. Are you willing to work for me?" ridicule.

After hearing this, Wang Lei already understood what Li Ru meant.

As Li Ru said, Wang Lei was defeated and would never join Li Ru.

If Wang Lei is still in a humble position, Wang Lei may choose to surrender, but as a general, Wang Lei occupies a high position, has tasted the taste of power, and is used to the taste of holding power, so it is impossible for him to surrender again. In other words, Wang Lei captured Li Ru was at the time of Dong Zhuo's death, maybe there was still a chance to surrender Li Ru.

Up to now, Li Ru has been in the official position of Taiwei, and it is impossible to surrender.

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said, "Come here,"

The voice fell, and a soldier strode in.

Seeing this, Li Ru's expression was calm as usual, it was just a death, and he was ready.

"Prepare high-quality wine and meat, and bring them in right away," Wang Lei ordered, then looked at Li Ru, and said, "I admire Wen Xiansheng's ability. Without you, Dong Zhuo would not have risen." , since you have a choice, I can only send you off with good wine and good meat, even if you die, you have to eat before you go, "

"Thank you,"

Li Ru clasped his fists in response, lifted his robe, and sat down cross-legged in the big tent.

Everyone in the camp did not speak.

After a short time, the soldiers came up with good wine and delicacies, placed the table behind them, and put the wine and meat in front of Li Ru, Li Ru had a smile on his face, he didn't use chopsticks, he directly took a chicken leg with his hands, and gulped it down. Eating meat and drinking heavily, his expression is completely different from his usual gentleness.

After eating and drinking, Li Ru wiped his hands, stood up, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, General." Immediately, Li Ru flicked his sleeves and walked outside the tent.

With a wave of Wang Lei's hand, the soldiers followed and left the camp.

After a short time, the soldiers came back and reported that Li Ru had been killed.

Wang Lei ordered: "Prepare a high-quality coffin, and bury Li Ru generously."

"promise,"

The soldiers made a note, and then exited respectfully.

As soon as the conversation changed, Wang Lei ordered again: "Bring Xu Huang, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and the rest of the generals."

The soldiers went to bring people in again, and not long after, Xu Huang, Dong Yue, and Niu Fu were brought in. Among these people, Xu Huang held his head high, with a serious expression and unyielding eyes.

However, Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Duan Yan and others looked depressed, as if their parents were dead.

Wang Lei didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Li Ru's army has been defeated, and Luoyang City has also been captured. It's only a matter of time before we invade Chang'an. Are you willing to work for me?"

"The end will be willing,"

Duan Yan didn't even think about it, and directly chose to surrender.

Xu Huang's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he slashed at Duan Yan's body, scolding: "Duan Yan, you are the Taiwei's confidant general, you cannot surrender,"

Duan Yan snorted, and said disdainfully: "The tree is moved to death, and the person is moved to live. The general is wise and wise. I surrender to the general. There is nothing wrong with it. You, Xu Gongming, are willing to be buried with Li Ru, so go. I won't stop you, but please don't meddle in my affairs."

Xu Huang gritted his teeth angrily, snorted, and stopped talking.

Wang Lei stared at Xu Huang and nodded with satisfaction in his heart. Xu Huang's character is very good.

In fact, when Xu Huang came to Ye County to participate in the Martial Arts Conference, Wang Lei noticed Xu Huang, but Li Ru was still there at the time, and Wang Lei had no chance to recruit him.

Historically, Xu Huang was a general under Cao Cao's command.

At the beginning, Xu Huang was the general of the Xiliang Army. Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes and recruited Xu Huang. Before following Cao Cao, Xu Huang's reputation was not obvious. After following Cao Cao, Xu Huang's talents were fully displayed. Xu Huang participated in the battle of Guandu, which established the dominance of the north, the battle of Chibi in the south, and the conquest of Ma Chao and Hanzhong.

Xu Huang's ability lies in his strict command of the army, but all his soldiers are strictly prohibited. For this reason, Xu Huang was praised by Cao Cao as having the style of Zhou Yafu, and his evaluation is not unreasonable.

Such a talent, Wang Lei also hopes to take it for his own use.

While Wang Lei was deep in thought, Niu Fu stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Niu Fu, the guilty general, is willing to surrender to the general,"

"Dong Yue, the guilty general, is willing to surrender to the general,"

Dong Yue cupped his fists respectfully and saluted, and also chose to surrender.

Immediately afterwards, all the generals of the Xiliang Army chose to surrender. So many surrendered, only Xu Huang stood tall, with unyielding and contemptuous eyes in his eyes.

Wang Lei asked: "General Xu, would you like to surrender?"

Xu Huang said sonorously, "I would rather die than surrender,"

Wang Lei frowned slightly. Among these people, Xu Huang was the one he valued the most, but Xu Huang was a fierce person. After Wang Lei thought about it, he had an idea in his mind, and ordered: "Come here."

"My lord,"

Huang Zhong mistakenly thought that Wang Lei was going to kill Xu Huang, so he said hastily.

After surrendering Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong learned about Xu Huang's situation through Zhang Liao, knew that Xu Huang was good at training soldiers, and was proficient in the art of war. He was a good fighter, so he couldn't bear to see Xu Huang killed.

Wang Lei said: "Don't worry about Han Sheng, I'm free to plan,"

Looking at the soldiers who walked in, Wang Lei ordered: "Take General Xu down to rest, don't be careless,"

"promise,"

The soldier waved his hand, signaling Xu Huang to go first.

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of puzzlement and doubt.

What kind of trick is Wang Lei playing?

Want to play tricks on him?

Shall he be imprisoned?

Do you want to recruit him?

Xu Huang didn't understand Wang Lei's thoughts, but he made up his mind not to surrender, turned around and left with the soldiers.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Duan Yan and others, and said: "You are all men of insight, serving in my army, there is only one thing you have to consider, and that is to develop what you can. In the army, you don’t need to curry favor with your superiors, you don’t need to seek advantage, you just need to keep working hard...you don’t let me down, and I will definitely not treat you badly,”

"Thank you, General, for letting go of the past, and the end general will definitely do his best,"

Duan Yan had a happy expression on his face, and saluted respectfully.

The rest of the people also spoke one after another.

After appeasing the generals of the Xiliang Army, Wang Lei let these people go down, and then asked Huang Zhong to arrange the positions of these people.

After Huang Zhong wrote it down, he asked again: "Master, how do you arrange Xu Huang?"

Wang Lei said: "To persuade Xu Huang, Zhang Liao is the only one who can do it. After all, they were colleagues before." Wang Lei's eyes fell on Zhang Liao, and said: "Wen Yuan, you can persuade Xu Huang to surrender, you are sure."

Zhang Liao thought it over and said, "My lord, I will do my best."

"Go,"

As soon as Wang Lei waved his hand, Zhang Liao bowed and retreated. After leaving the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Liao, led by the soldiers, quickly came to Xu Huang's tent.

When former colleagues meet again, things have changed.

Zhang Liaozhuo stood upright, smiled and said, "Gongming, don't you welcome me?"

Xu Huang's expression was cold, and he said angrily: "Who is Zhang Wenyuan?

In a word, Zhang Liao was quite embarrassed by choking.

Zhang Liao went into the camp and sat down, and said, "Gongming, I know you don't want to submit to the general, but in my opinion, you and I are just generals who command the army, and just want to show off our talents."

Xu Huang said: "Yes, so if you have milk, you are a mother,"

Zhang Liao smiled awkwardly, Xu Huang was aggressive and made him feel embarrassed, Zhang Liao adjusted his mentality, and said slowly: "Gongming, I just came to see you, you don't have to target me like this,"

Xu Huang snorted, feeling angry in his heart, but he no longer targeted Zhang Liao like that.

After all, the friendship between the two is very good.

Zhang Liao said: "Gongming, I know you are grateful for the Taiwei's kindness, but the matter has come to this point, and nothing can be changed. If you choose to die, what about your ambitions and decades of hard work? What about your family, I know your character very well, you are loyal and unwilling to serve other people, "

After a pause, Zhang Liao said again: "You have achieved your own reputation, but you have not considered your family. Your parents have spent so much effort to raise you up. Are you going to repay them like this? Gongming, you are in the army. People can't help themselves, many things, we can't do what we want, "

After some emotion, Xu Huang sighed deeply, looking quite lonely.

Xu Huang couldn't argue with Zhang Liao's words.

If Xu Huang was a loner, he would definitely choose to commit suicide, but he is not alone. He has his own parents, his own wife and children, and an ambition that he has not had time to implement.

Zhang Liao struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "The general and the lieutenant are opposing each other. That is their respective positions. It is their struggle. You, I and the rest of the generals are just ordinary generals who are only responsible for leading troops to fight and do not get involved in political matters. The matter, submitting to the general, is just to show our ability and protect our family, it's as simple as that,"

These words made Xu Huang even more vacillating. Xu Huang thought of the lively and lovely children at home, his wife and parents, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I am willing to surrender,"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Huang was willing to surrender, and Zhang Liao completed the task on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also gained a friend who could talk to him.
