I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 596: Champion Marquis, the style of a great general?

"Your wish will come true."

Facing Zhang Long, a soldier, who was the first to surrender, Su Yao smiled and pulled him up:

"As long as you have the courage, determination, willingness to fight, and the ability to sacrifice your lives, then I guarantee that your efforts will not be in vain."

After that, Su Yao turned sideways and looked at Li Yi, introducing:
"Does anyone here know this Li Yi?"

Zhang Long shook his head, slightly embarrassed, indicating that he didn't know.

And Su Yao laughed:
"Li Yi was originally just an ordinary sentinel under Hu Zhen, but with his own choices and efforts, he has now become a prominent figure in our army, serving as a fake military marquis and leading a group of troops."

"There are countless warriors like Li Yi in our army."

"I, Su Yao, never judge a hero by his or her background. As long as you have talent and courage, I will give you a stage to display your talents."

When Zhang Long heard this, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly looked at Li Yi, only to see a firm and confident smile on the latter's face.

All of a sudden, a warm feeling surged in Zhang Long's heart, and he seemed to see hope for his future.

"Your Excellency is wise. I am willing to follow you until death!" Zhang Long knelt again, his voice even more determined.

And this time, Su Yao clearly accepted his loyalty.

After learning that Zhang Long was a sergeant before, he was immediately promoted three levels to the rank of a hundred-man general and a fake military marquis, temporarily in charge of the newly surrendered soldiers of Hu Zhen's army.

This caused an immediate uproar.

Those Xiliang warriors who were hesitating between advancing and retreating were immediately moved when they saw that Zhang Long was the first to surrender and was given such an important position.

They looked at each other, then started whispering to each other, talking at once, with envy and desire in everyone's eyes.

Everyone knows that one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of hundreds of soldiers.

In the military, the road to promotion is not only full of hardships and competition, but is also accompanied by death at all times.

Although the Xiliang Army was a frontier army, it still practiced nepotism and seniority-based appointments.

However, this young champion marquis in front of him actually promoted an unknown sentinel to a fake military marquis with just one battle and a few words.

This is like a dream, unbelievable.

"I, I am also willing to follow Champion Hou!"

Finally, another soldier stood up and shouted:

"I am Ma Yuan, a sergeant under Captain Hu. I am willing to serve you at your service!"

"Okay, Ma Yuan, you are the village chief now."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Ma Yuan immediately kowtowed and said, "I will go through fire and water for you, my lord! I will do anything for you!"

Immediately afterwards, under the demonstration of Zhang Long and Ma Yuan, the Xiliang warriors who were still hesitating seemed to be ignited.

One after another, the warriors stood up and rushed to Su Yao and knelt down:
"I am Zhao Lei, a lowly person, and I am willing to serve Lord Su!"

"I am Sun Hu, a lowly man, and I will follow the Champion Marquis till death!"

"I, Li Qiang, am willing to do my part for the people of the world!"

"."

For a moment, the surrendered Xiliang soldiers expressed their loyalty one after another, and their voices echoed throughout the battlefield.

The sound was as deafening as thunder, and even the soldiers who had just run away, leaving behind their weapons and armor, turned back in surprise and looked in this direction in confusion.

When they learned about the situation at the scene, they beat their chests and stamped their feet, expressing their regret and willingness to remain loyal.

However, Su Yao only gave one chance to choose.

Anyone who leaves the battlefield and abandons his weapons is not qualified to join his team.

Just like that, after everyone worked together to drive away those small fish, Su Yao jumped onto a tall tree trunk on the side of the road.

He looked down at the soldiers in front of him, who were full of excitement and surprise, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Gentlemen, I have seen your courage and determination."

"But remember, true warriors are not only brave enough to charge into battle, but also able to stick to their beliefs and take on responsibilities."

"I, Su Yao, never make promises easily, but once I make a promise, I will definitely fulfill it."

"Today, since you have chosen to follow me, you are my brothers, Su Yao, and a member of my army. I will definitely share the joys and sorrows with you and fight together with you until the moment of victory."

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, a thunderous cheer rang out in the arena, forming a sharp contrast with their previous tired and numb appearance. Good days are coming. Following Lord Su, there is hope for promotion and wealth!
Many people had red glows on their faces, and they tightly grasped their weapons, wanting to kill a lot of people.

However, at this time, Su Yao did not forget to remind everyone of military discipline and told them not to get carried away:
“But you also need to keep in mind.”

"Joining my army and following me is not as simple as changing flags. You will also shoulder greater responsibilities!"

Su Yao's voice sounded particularly steady amid the cheers. He looked at everyone present with a sharp gaze and continued:
"My army, Su Yao, must be a disciplined and righteous team. We are fighting against Dong Zhuo to restore peace to the world, not to satisfy our personal desires."

"Therefore, I ask you to strictly abide by military discipline and not slack off in the slightest."

"Anyone who plunders the local area and harasses the people will be severely punished by the ruthless military law!"

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, the place fell silent.

Zhang Long immediately stopped laughing and said seriously that he would strictly abide by military discipline and live up to the high expectations of the prince.

At this time, the soldier under Guan Yu's command could not help but whisper to Guan Yu with deep emotion:
"Lord Su is becoming more and more like a great general now."

Guan Yu nodded after hearing this, but then paused twice and sighed:

"Yeah, it would have been more convincing if he hadn't been standing in a tree making this speech."

The bodyguards were also speechless after hearing this.

Their Su Junhou is really good in every way, except that he is sometimes too energetic.

Except when he was sleeping, he would climb up and down all the time and never get tired.

It is so rare to be able to have a good chat with someone.

However, just as they were whispering, Su Yao came down with a "bang":
"All right, all right, cheer up - our work is about to begin again."

"what?!"

Guan Yu and the others were all surprised, but immediately, they saw three fast riders galloping over, looking for Su Yao and reporting:

"Lord Su, it's bad - the enemy navy is coming!"

"The ferry has been blocked and the defenders are in a panic. Please go back and take charge of the situation."

“So fast?!”

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Guan Yu, Li Yi and others changed color.

The thing I was most worried about finally happened.

Although they defeated Hu Zhen, their retreat was cut off.

"What should I do?"

Guan Yu, Li Yi and others looked at each other with gloomy faces.

Zhang Long and other newly surrendered people were also restless and a little commotion.

They thought that after joining Su Yao, they would be able to return to the South Bank smoothly and join up with the army of Marquis Guanjun.

But I never expected that I would face such a difficult and fatal situation just after joining the army.

Faced with the blockade of Dong Jun’s navy, these landlubbers had no temper at all.

"Don't panic, don't panic."

Everyone was worried, but Su Yao just smiled and patted the dust off his hands, looking very motivated:
"What is there to be afraid of, little navy officer?"

"He's just a transport captain."

"what?"

"what?!"

Everyone was talking.

"Who is this transport captain?" Li Yi was puzzled.

"My lord, do you have a good plan?" Guan Yu asked.

And Su Yao sneered:
"Yun Chang is joking."

"Do I really need to think of a good strategy for such a small fry?"
