The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 301 Intention of Surrender
The next day, all the soldiers and horses returned to their respective camps. Tai Shici, Li Tong, and Yu Jin went to Jiangling, Xinye, and Jiangxia respectively. Li Yuan did not leave Xiangyang, but stayed. Sit down in person.

A few days later, Gan Ning sent people to bring Huo Jun, Xiang Lang and Wu Ju from Jiangling to Xiangyang.

In the meeting hall, Li Yuan was sitting at the head, Gan Ning was standing on his right, Xu Shu was standing on the left, Xiang Lang and Wu Ju were lowering their heads, not daring to look at Li Yuan, but Huo Jun was rather courageous and not afraid at all. His eyes looked at Li Yuan curiously.

Li Yuan said with interest: "Huo Jun, what are you looking at?"

In fact, Li Yuan had already heard about Huo Jun from Gan Ning, and knew that Gan Ning intended to surrender and train Huo Jun, so he was also somewhat interested in Huo Jun.

Huo Jun is a famous Shu Han general in the "History of the Three Kingdoms". He is very good at defense. Liu Zhang once sent an army of ten thousand people to attack Jianjia City. Huo Jun defended Jianjia City for a full year with only a few hundred people. Later, when the enemy army was exhausted, he waited for an opportunity to attack , defeated Liu Zhang's army, and took the opportunity to behead the enemy general Xiang Cun.

Even if Gan Ning has no intention of cultivating such generals, Li Yuan will still cultivate them. Now he has many top generals, but not many middle-level generals. In the future, as the territory continues to expand, such talents will be more and more needed.

"I'm looking at General Li. I often hear that General Li kills people without blinking an eye. He is a murderer. There are no less than a million people who died at your hands. However, when I saw it today, it was different from the rumors." Huo Jun said very honestly. Answer, Li Yuan's name has already been spread all over the world, because he often goes around and provokes wars, so many people will think that he is a murderer.

"Presumptuous, General Li, you can talk nonsense, hurry up and apologize." Gan Ning, who was standing aside, cursed, and glanced at Li Yuan unconsciously, for fear that Li Yuan would punish Huo Jun if he was unhappy.

"But the folks really say that..." Huo Jun said helplessly.

"Hahahaha, what an honest person, forget it, I don't blame you because you are young and ignorant, now you see me, what kind of person do you think I am?" Of course Li Yuan would not get angry so easily, With his current status, there is no need to argue with Huo Jun. As he gets older, his personality becomes more and more stable, and his mood will not change so easily.

"I think General Li is a mighty veteran on the battlefield. Although you are just sitting there, the killing spirit of the golden weapon is spreading out invisible, which shows that you are definitely a battle-hardened veteran." Master."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Your evaluation is pertinent, Huo Jun, I heard Xingba said that you are willing to surrender, is this true?"

"It's true, I was ordered to garrison Wulin, but I was defeated by General Gan Ning, who captured me alive. When facing the old master on the battlefield, I hope General Li will understand." Huo Jun is a more upright and truthful person, he will say everything clearly, and he will not beat around the bush.

"That's not a problem. It can be seen that you are a loyal person. I, Li Yuan, like you the most. How about this? I think you are still young, you should be in your early twenties, and you are a talent worth cultivating. Xingba is the general of our army, and now I have made him the prefect of Xiangyang, in charge of all the naval forces in Xiangyang, Jiangling, Jiangxia and Lujiang, would you like to stay with him and learn some skills?" Li Yuan asked.

Huo Jun looked at Gan Ning, but he didn't expect Gan Ning to have such a high status beside Li Yuan, so he replied: "General Gan Ning is very capable, I am willing to stay by his side to study."

"Okay, from now on you will be Xingba's deputy general. I hope you can learn his skills, and then you will become a general who stands alone." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Although Huo Jun has potential, He is still young and inexperienced, keeping him by Gan Ning's side can quickly cultivate him into a talent.

"Thank you General Li...my lord!" Huo Jun knelt down to thank him. Although he did not get an official position, he now clearly knew that Gan Ning was a very important general beside Li Yuan. Gan Ning is very capable and can indeed learn a lot, so he agreed without any hesitation.

Wu Ju and Xiang Lang on the side glanced at each other, they didn't expect Li Yuan to be so talkative, and Huo Jun, who was not well-known in Jingzhou, could get such good treatment, which made their original hanging hearts gradually relax.

"Wu Ju, you used to be the prefect of Jiangling. Now that Jiangling has been captured by our army, are you convinced?" Li Yuan looked at Wu Ju.

"The last general dare not refuse to accept." Wu Ju replied hastily.

"Are you and Xiang Lang both willing to surrender?"

"I am willing to surrender to General Li!" Wu Ju and Xiang Lang said at the same time.

"Okay, now that Jiangxia is short of manpower, Wu Ju, you can go to Jiangxia to assist Yu Jin. Everything depends on him." Li Yuan decided to send Wu Ju to Jiangxia. As the prefect of Jiangling, Wu Ju must have many connections in Jiangling. Yuan knew that although Wu Ju had surrendered, he didn't have much loyalty in his heart. In order to prevent Wu Ju from rebelling in Jiangling, he decided to send him to Jiangxia.

"It's my lord!" Wu Ju thanked, and then left for Jiangxia.

"Xiang Lang, I know you are quite talented, and now Xiangyang is also short of manpower, so I will make you a long history and be Yuan Zhi's deputy in Xiangyang to assist him in handling political affairs."

"Thank you, my lord."

"You go down first." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he asked Wenpin and Wang Wei to be brought up.

After a while, the soldiers brought Wenpin and Wang Wei up. Li Yuan took a look at the two. Li Yuan had asked the doctor to bandage their wounds for the past few days. Although it was impossible for them to heal so quickly, their expressions had changed Much better.

"Untie them." Li Yuan asked the soldiers to untie them.

After untying the rope, Wenpin moved his hands and feet, looked at Li Yuan blankly, and Wang Wei did the same. As the defeated generals, they had lost their confidence and were even a little confused, not knowing what to do in the future.

"Wenpin Wang Wei, you are all good talents, are you willing to surrender to me?" Li Yuan asked.

"Li Yuan, you don't need to waste your time, I, Wenpin, will not surrender." Wenpin said without hesitation, he was determined not to surrender.

"I won't surrender either. Either you will kill us, so don't talk nonsense." Wang Wei also expressed his attitude.

"Even Wu Ju, the prefect of Jiangling, is willing to surrender to me. Why are you unwilling to surrender?" Li Yuan asked back.

"Hmph, as the saying goes, a loyal minister does not serve two masters. I am not greedy for life and afraid of death like Wu Ju, so I will not submit to you!" Wen Pin's tone was very firm, without wavering at all.

"What a loyal minister who doesn't serve the second master, do you know who the general next to me is?" Li Yuan pointed to Gan Ning.

Wenpin glanced at it, his impression was a bit vague, he thought for a while before he recognized it, and said, "Could it be Gan Ning Gan Xingba?"
