Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274 Xu Huang's Mission
In the meeting hall of the prefectural government, Xu Huang and others were kneeling below.

"Are you Xu Huang?"

After listening to their self-introductions, Liu He felt a little surprised.

Xu Huang still lowered his head and clasped his fists above his head: "It is me. My crime is unforgivable. You must kill me or chop me up. Please make your decision, sir."

He was straightforward, but the other small leaders of the Black Mountain Army could not do that. They cried bitterly, cursed Guo Tai and Zhang Yan, and begged for mercy in various ways.

"Alright, alright, take these people away first. Um... isn't Zhang Niujiao still in the dungeon? Let them keep you company in the cell next door."

Amid their cries for mercy, a group of soldiers walked in and dragged them all away.

Xu Huang was puzzled as he was the only one not taken away.

"Sir, you..."

Liu He raised his hand to stop him from saying anything.

"You don't need to ask more. I left you alone because you are different from them."

Xu Huang asked in confusion: "Why do you think so, sir?"

Liu He walked up to him.

"First, I have just sent people to inquire among the surrendered troops. You and your brother who was killed by Guo Tai have always been different in the Black Mountain Army. You are not as cruel as others and treat the people like grass. Moreover, you have tried to dissuade Zhang Yan from attacking last time and Guo Tai from attacking this time. Therefore, I think that although you have become a bandit, you still have a conscience and a loyal heart."

"My lord, you..."

No one had said these words to Xu Huang since he fell into trouble, was rescued by Yang Feng, and had no choice but to become a bandit. Now Liu He suddenly gave him such an evaluation, which made him a little at a loss, but also a little moved in his heart.

At this time, Wu Meng also stood up.

"My lord, this man is an extraordinary martial artist with a kind heart. He is definitely not an ordinary bandit. If he can be used by you and trained slowly, he will surely make great contributions to the Han Dynasty in the future!"

Xu Huang retreated repeatedly: "I don't deserve it. I am a criminal, how can I dare to talk about making achievements? Moreover, my brother just passed away, and I should carry my brother's coffin back to my hometown."

How could Liu He let him go? He had already checked Xu Huang's overall abilities.

"Xu Huang, the best attributes in history: Command 87, Military Strength 95, Intelligence 81, Politics 52."

"Current attributes: Command 43, Force 86, Intelligence 66, Politics 24, Special attributes: None, Special skills: None."

Whether for Xu Huang's reputation or his attributes, Liu He must find a way to keep him under his command. Once he leaves, who knows what will happen, and by then he will join someone else's army, and it will be too late for him to cry.

"As a soldier, Gongming obeyed orders and did not commit a serious crime. Besides that, he advised the lord more, which is already commendable. Now he has killed the culprit Guo Tai with his own hands. Even if there are some sins, they can be offset now."

Seeing that Liu He, despite his status, was willing to persuade him to surrender with such earnest words, Xu Huang was already tempted.

Guan Yu also came out and said, "I heard from the surrendered soldiers that Gongming is also from Hedong? He is my fellow countryman. I see that you are good at martial arts. Now the country is in danger and the people are suffering. Gongming, why don't you use this great man's body to follow my lord to stabilize the world, so as not to let down the man's time here!"

Liu He, Guan Yu, and several people around him all looked at Xu Huang with sincere eyes, which made him quickly make up his mind.

"You are so kind and righteous. I, Xu Huang, admire you very much! From today on, I am willing to serve you at your service!"

"Haha, great! I have Gongming, and he's even more powerful!"

Liu He helped Xu Huang up and laughed.

"Hehe, we finally have a second axe wielder in our army. Fourth brother finally has a companion!"

Zhu Ye's words reminded Liu He that the book "Heavenly Gang Disha Axe Technique" given to Zhang Yong at the beginning required two people to cooperate in using it to achieve its maximum power. Moreover, Xu Huang's personality was exactly the same as Zhang Yong's, so it was very suitable for him to be Zhang Yong's deputy general. However, he had just surrendered, and giving him such a generous reward at this time was afraid that some people in the army would not be convinced. And just now, Liu He had a new idea in his mind.

"I have a new mission that can only be completed by Gongming, but it is a bit dangerous. I wonder if Gongming is willing to go?"

Xu Huang clasped his fists and said with emotion: "My lord has such trust in me, even if it means my death, I will complete the task entrusted by my lord!"

Liu He smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Okay! Gongming, go back and rest first. I will tell you in detail tomorrow."

"Here!"

Xu Huang accepted the order.

"Well, it's late, let's go back and rest. As for the third and fifth brothers who disobeyed military orders and secretly drank tonight, they should be punished, but considering your contributions, the merits and demerits offset each other, so there will be no reward or punishment."

Cheng Liang and Zhu Ye pursed their lips, still somewhat unconvinced, especially Zhu Ye, who thought he had a share of the credit for the boss's contribution tonight.

Guan Yu smiled and said, "You should be content. If it weren't for the attack by Guo Tai, and you were caught by chance, I'm afraid your butts would have been beaten to pieces."

The two men recalled the military sticks and whips in the army and could not help but shudder.

Liu He quickly obtained 53 points for surrendering Xu Huang, but he didn't care about these points now. He returned to his room and fell asleep quickly.

The Montenegrin Army had 20,000 soldiers in this attack and finally captured more than 14,000 people. After screening and punishing them one by one according to their character, ability, age, and past crimes, less than 6,000 people were left and were absorbed into the Security Army.

In this way, the size of the Anmin Army officially exceeded 100,000 people!
However, before everyone had time to be happy, half a month later, Xu Huang left Yinguan City with 20,000 infantrymen.

Military generals like Guan Yu and counselors like Cui Jun were all puzzled by this. However, Liu He looked very secretive and only said, "Trust the people you employ. If you don't trust them, don't employ them. I have a special task for him." So no one asked any questions.

Of course, when Liu He said this, it was not just based on trust.

The basis of trust is one's own confidence. Liu He had enough confidence in those 20,000 people because most of them were 100% loyal to him. Moreover, there were not only soldiers in the army, but also many grassroots officers who were absolutely loyal. Even if Xu Huang really had the idea of ​​rebelling against them one day, these people would never follow him.

Xu Huang was marching mysteriously, and outside Jinyang City, there was also a group of convoys slowly driving out from the city gate.

A young man rode a horse to the foot of the city wall, looked back at the top of the city wall with an inexplicable expression.

Another man who looked a few years younger followed and looked at him.

"Brother, stop looking and hurry up. My father was furious when he found out about what you and the sixteen families did this time. He asked the court to resign your position and ordered me to take you to Yuzhou as soon as possible. If you return too late, I'm afraid he will be even angrier."

Hearing this, the man sighed and asked, "Is it true that my name was not included in the memorial Liu He submitted to the court to report the crimes of his family?"

"Yes, he just wrote a letter and told my father about this matter alone. Otherwise, do you think you still have a chance to go to Yuzhou? He mentioned in the letter that you had a conflict with him in the past. You were young and depressed, so it was understandable that you made a mistake. You were able to oppose the discussion with those thieves, which shows that you still have a conscience. Therefore, I just asked my father to take you with him and teach you well. If you can change your ways and do good, you can still be a pillar of the court in the future."

After saying this, the man looked at his elder brother.

"Alas, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really went too far this time. If Liu He really reports this to the court, with such irrefutable evidence, I'm afraid that my entire Wang family will be implicated. I didn't expect that Governor Liu is so kind and righteous. Don't go against him again in the future. It's just a little grudge, not a big grudge. Why bother?"

Hearing this, the man nodded heavily.

"After this incident, I feel like I have been reborn. I will make up for all the mistakes I made in the past. Okay, let's go. When I return, I will be willing to accept any punishment from my uncle."

He waved his whip and headed south.
