Chapter 161
Yu Jin was not overly surprised when he heard the words, as if he had expected this. Chen Qun, the prefect of Runan, often came to persuade him, but he never agreed, because Bao Xinjun was ambushed by Xi Zhicai and died. Xin is not dead, he may still surrender to Li Yuan, but now that Bao Xin is dead, as Bao Xin's friend and former subordinate, he has never passed the test of his heart, and Li Yuan can only be an enemy in his heart.

"Yu Jin, why are you doing this? I wonder if you've heard of Gao Shun?" Li Yuan planned to use Gao Shun as an example to convince him.

"Gao Shun? Is it the Gao Shun who followed Lu Bu?" Gao Shun was famous all over the world, and Yu Jin had also heard of it.

"It was him. Gao Shun was captured by our army in the Battle of Hulao Pass a few years ago. When I persuaded him to surrender, he was unwilling to surrender to me. He was extremely loyal to Lu Bu. It was not until just now that I persuaded him to surrender I."

"I've heard for a long time that Gao Shun was extremely loyal to Lu Bu. When Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and went to Dong Zhuo, his generals were dissatisfied. Even Zhang Liao was the same. Only Gao Shun didn't complain at all, so Lu Bu trusted him very much, and he also treated Lu Bu Very loyal, how did you convince him?" Yu Jin was quite curious about this matter.

"You don't know, but Gao Shun has been captured by me longer than you. If something hadn't happened, I wouldn't have persuaded Gao Shun to surrender. Do you know what it is?" Li Yuan didn't answer Yu Jin's question. question, but instead asked.

"whats the matter?"

"I killed Lu Bu just half a month ago." Li Yuan briefly talked about defeating Lu Bu.

"What, Lu Bu died at your hands?!"

Yu Jin looked at Li Yuan in amazement, and his legs couldn't help taking a few steps back. Lu Bu is known as the unparalleled under heaven. He can understand Li Yuan's defeat of Lu Bu, but killing Lu Bu with his own hands is not so easy. After all Lu Bu's martial arts skills are superb, even if he can't win, he can rely on the red rabbit horse to escape, but he still died at the hands of Li Yuan, which shows that Li Yuan's martial arts has been greatly improved, and even Lu Bu is no match for him.

"There is no need to be so surprised. I defeated Lu Bu because of luck." Li Yuan was telling the truth. If there was no Dian Wei, he should not be Lu Bu's opponent. If he did it all over again, he would not have the confidence to defeat Lu Bu.

After a long time, Yu Jin gradually calmed down and said: "General Li, you don't need to be humble. I have seen how powerful you are. I always have a feeling that even if Lu Bu surpasses you in martial arts, he will still lose to you sooner or later."

Yu Jin clearly knew that the victory of war not only depends on martial arts, but also the ability to command the army, strategy, weather, location and people and all kinds of factors, any of which can affect the trend of the war. With the help of such resourceful people, Lu Bu did not complain about his defeat.

"However, although Lu Bu died at my hands, Gao Shun didn't resent me for it. Instead, he submitted to me. I don't know if you understand the reason?" Li Yuan hoped that Yu Jin could understand the reason.

"I also find it very strange. Since you killed Lu Bu, why did Gao Shun, who was loyal to Lu Bu, surrender to you?" Zhang Liao was also surprised. Gao Shun's loyalty should not surrender to Li Yuancai.

"Gao Shun was willing to surrender to me because of four reasons. First, he has been under house arrest for five or six years. No matter how loyal he is to Lu Bu, time will slowly wear him down; second, Gao Shun Whether it is martial arts or the ability to command the army, they are the best choices, and the camp he trained is even more powerful in the world. How can a person with such talent be willing to do nothing all day long and become someone else's prisoner? I think you should think the same way Yes, as a heroic man, he naturally wants to fight on the battlefield and make contributions." Li Yuan explained the reason why Gao Shun was willing to surrender.

Yu Jin thought for a while, and felt that what Li Yuan said was reasonable. As a general, he understood Gao Shun's thoughts. He also thought that his skills were not bad, and he could become a general. Guangzong Yaozu, he asked again: "What are the other two reasons?"

"Thirdly, Lu Bu is dead, no matter how much he persists in Lu Bu, he can't be resurrected. This is the reason why his loyalty is really shaken; Fourthly, I, Li Yuan, dare not say that the world is invincible, but since I took over the army, Xingyang has suppressed the rebellion. Army, Runan blocked the Yellow Turban, Hulao fought Dong Zhuo, Xuzhou defeated Taoqian, Lujiang destroyed Yuan Shu, Puyang attacked Lu Bu, every battle was sure to win, and no enemy was met. Wherever the soldiers went, no one could beat them. To achieve such an achievement , Gao Shun is willing to submit to me because I can recognize people and employ them on the basis of talents."

Although Li Yuan was suspected of boasting, what he said was not unreasonable. He also told Yu Jin about the major events in the world that have happened in recent years.

After listening to Yu Jin, he could not speak for a long time. The great changes in the world made him a little unacceptable. Moreover, Li Yuan not only won Xuzhou, but also defeated Yuan Shu, who was four generations and three princes. This skill was enough to convince him. In just a few years Li Yuan's power has more than doubled, and he has almost become the most powerful prince in the world today. In his opinion, the only ones who have the capital to fight against him are Ma Teng in Xiliang, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Shuzhong.

"Yu Jin, the reason why I tell you so much is because I want you to understand a truth. Life and death on the battlefield is not your fault, nor is it my fault, nor is it anyone's fault. "Li Yuan continued to persuade, "I think when I attacked Tao Qian and Bao Xin came to rescue him, if I didn't send troops to stop him, I might be the one who lost the army. I want to replace it with anyone. From my point of view, I will not send troops to meet your army, since they are on the battlefield, they are the enemy, and if you die or I live."

In fact, Li Yuan knew what Yu Jin said, and he had thought about it a lot over the years, but his inner persistence kept him from bowing his head. Now that Li Yuan came to persuade him in person, he had already moved his mind.

"Hua Xiong, the prefect of Shouchun, was also a general under Dong Zhuo's command at the beginning. He was defeated by me on the battlefield and has surrendered to me for several years. Chen Gong supported Lu Bu in Puyang and let Lu Bu control tens of thousands of troops in an instant. However, Lu Bu treated him badly. After all, choose to submit to me. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to do things. Everyone will choose the person who is most beneficial to him to take refuge in. I think you should do the same. That's what I, Li Yuan, want to say If you think about it, you can ask Chen Qun to tell me."

Li Yuan has finished what he should have said, and he doesn't want to waste any more words. Yu Jin is a smart person, and he knows that the other party will understand.

"Wait," Yu Jin pulled Li Yuan back, "If I surrender to you, aren't you afraid that I will secretly hold grudges and find a chance to avenge Bao Xin?"
