Chapter 290 Battle of Shiting (8)

"Gongjin, do you really want to know why my Yangzhou army can sneak around behind Zhang Chun's Yellow Turban army without anyone noticing? Then cut off your retreat?" On the way back to the camp, Zhao Lei broke An embarrassing situation where the two of them didn't say a word.

"Huh? Please tell Governor Zhao clearly." Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said to Zhao Lei at this time.

"Because I kept my army hiding in the jungle," Zhao Lei said.

"In the jungle? Isn't it the place where the miasma is the most dense? Does Governor Zhao have a solution to the miasma?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

Zhao Lei nodded, took out a silver elixir grass from his bosom, and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took the silver elixir grass, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Silver elixir grass, I didn't expect this kind of thing to be able to resist miasma."

"Everything in the world changes a lot. A seemingly insignificant thing can also play a very wonderful role. This is like when I first came to Shiting to attack the city, how could I have thought that there was such a person in Shiting City? How about a wise man to advise the Yellow Turban Army?" Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"Inspector Zhao...what do you mean by that..." Zhou Yu stammered.

"I won't talk much about other nonsense. If I say something polite to you, it will appear that I am too hypocritical. In a word, Gongjin, are you willing to join my Yangzhou Army?" Zhao Lei cupped his hands towards Zhou Yu and said.

"Inspector Zhao misunderstood. Gong Jin is not a famous Confucian in the country, nor is he a well-educated person. The previous two defeats of the Yangzhou Army were just luck. Zhou Yu is incompetent and does not deserve the appreciation of Inspector Zhao." Zhou Yu said. Among them tactfully refused to say.

"Hehe, what Gongjin said is that he treats me, Zhao Lei, as an outsider. For me, Zhao Lei, recruiting talents is not based on his status. Look at my number one general, Zhao Zilong, he is just an ordinary Common people. And most of my counselors are not from any great family. However, I am not saying that these famous Confucianists and scholars in the country have a false name. Welcome them." Zhao Lei said.

Zhao Lei's words made Zhou Yu ponder for a while, and then said: "Hehe, Zhao Shishi's words are very reasonable. But Zhou Yu doesn't think he is a person with real talents and learning."

"A person who knows how to imitate Han Xin's last stand and boost morale is a person without real talent and learning? Gong Jinxiu wants to help me." Zhao Lei smiled helplessly.

"Well, since this is the case, Gong Jin has nothing more to say. My subordinate Zhou Yu will see the lord next time!! My lord, when the two armies confronted each other just now, my subordinates have already developed a good impression of the lord. When I heard that the lord is willing to use When a city came to exchange for Zhou Yu's life, Zhou Yu was really touched. Gong Jin will always remember the lord's kindness. Gong Jin is willing to chase the lord all his life until death." Zhou Yu knelt down and faced Zhao Lei. Bye.

"Gong Jin, get up, you are still injured, don't kneel like this." Zhao Lei helped Zhou Yu up and said.

After walking for a while, the two arrived at another camp of the Yangzhou Army.The original camp was probably about to be detonated by Zhao Yun.

"My lord, the scouts just came to report that Zhang Chun has already returned to Shiting City." Seeing Zhao Lei walk into the gate of the camp, a soldier stepped forward to report.

"My lord, Gong Jin has just surrendered to my lord, and I haven't made an inch of merit. Why don't you let me take down this Shiting City for my lord!" Zhou Yu said at the moment.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, Gongjin. This Shiting City is not in a hurry to attack. I'm just in a hurry to surrender that little brother. By the way, Gongjin, let me ask you something. Why are the two armies fighting in front of you?" When I told Zhang Chun’s Yellow Turban soldiers that the surrender would not be killed, the morale of those Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly became high?” Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, the reason is actually the same as why Xu Sheng refused to surrender to my lord just now. They all hate the court very much, and it is almost impossible for them to surrender to court officials," Zhou Yu said.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhao Lei frowned and said, "So, it's impossible to persuade Xu Sheng to surrender?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "It's not impossible. In fact, generals like Xu Sheng are just brainless. The only thing you need to do is to change the way you speak when persuading Xu Sheng, and be more tactful." Let Xu Sheng come and surrender."

"How to change this way of speaking?" Zhao Lei asked.

"Just so and so." Zhou Yu whispered in Zhao Lei's ear.

In a certain camp of the Yangzhou Army, the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong rang non-stop.

"Xu Sheng, don't be ignorant. My lord is already very polite to you, a prisoner. If you throw things around, don't blame me for being rude." Zhang Liao said.

"I won't let me die, and you won't let me out. Why do you lock me up? Tell Zhao Lei to let me out." Xu Sheng was sitting on a wooden chair, with all the things he smashed under his feet.

At this time, Zhao Lei and Zhou Yu walked into the camp.

"See my lord! Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou." When Zhang Liao saw Zhou Yu, he didn't know what to call Zhou Yu, so he followed Zhao Lei's previous teaching method and called all literati Mr. Zhou.

"Wen Yuan, Gong Jin is about the same age as you, how can you call him Mr. Zhou Junshi when there is someone else, and Gong Jin when there is no one!" Zhao Lei laughed.

"See the military advisor!" Zhang Liao said again.

"General Zhang Liao is polite!" Zhou Yu also bowed his hands to greet Zhang Liao.

"Zhao Lei, what are you going to do if you put me under house arrest like this!" At this time, Xu Sheng yelled at Zhao Lei.

"Nothing, I just hope you can stay in the Yangzhou Army." Zhao Lei said.

"I have already said that I, Xu Sheng, will never serve in the imperial court." Xu Sheng said firmly.

"Then what if I'm not from the imperial court?" Zhao Lei asked.

"What?" Xu Sheng asked strangely.

"Hehe, Xu Sheng, you have always been very concerned about whether the faction you turn to is a courtier of a big man. But you have to know that even Dong Zhuo, who is now the most powerful, has to admit that he is a Han minister. This is because in today's world, is In the world of the big Han, no matter which prince is a Han minister, if anyone dares to say that he is not a Han minister now, he will definitely be regarded as a target of crusade." Zhao Lei said.

"That's why I joined the Yellow Turban Army. The leader of the Yellow Turban Army is not Hanchen." Xu Sheng said fiercely.

"Who is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army? It's Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao is also a citizen of the court. If you take refuge in him, don't you also take refuge in the court?" Zhao Lei asked back.

"you……"

"What about me, so you say that you don't take refuge in the court. It is impossible in this era. But on the other hand, although the princes of the world claim to be Hanchen, everyone knows that there are a few people who are really right. The Han Dynasty is loyal. How many people think that their soldiers belong to the imperial court? Probably not? Since they are only attached to the imperial court on the surface, but in fact they are independent, why do you, Xu Sheng, care about these so-called false names of the imperial court? I Although Zhao Lei is the governor of Yangzhou, I don't have any loyalty to the imperial court in my heart. I just want to use my own strength to dominate the world and overthrow the Han Dynasty. But before I have no strength, I can only use the name of the Han Dynasty to recruit troops , strengthen your own strength. So Xu Sheng, take refuge in me. In the Yangzhou Army, you will not see anything that has a slight connection with the imperial court, and you will not feel any atmosphere of the imperial court. This Yangzhou Army is only my Zhao Lei's The army is not from the Han Dynasty. Originally, I could not say these words, but today in order to be able to recruit you, I am willing to risk the risk of this word being spread, and I will persuade you. Well, it is up to you whether to surrender or not. With yourself." Zhao Lei said.

"General Zhao, you are really eloquent. Since General Zhao is willing to take so much pains to untie the knot in my heart, I, Xu Sheng, am not someone who doesn't understand human affairs." Xu Sheng laughed suddenly at this moment.

"Subordinate Xu Sheng, see the lord."

"Okay, refreshing!" Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Wen Yuan, we have a big banquet tonight, and we welcome Gong Jin and Xu Sheng to join our Yangzhou Army."

"No!" Zhang Liao said.

"My lord, don't be too busy to celebrate. I feel that if you want to celebrate, you should go to Shiting City to celebrate!" Zhou Yu laughed.

"Go to Shiting City to celebrate? What does Gongjin mean by this? Why can't I understand?" Zhao Lei asked strangely.

"My lord, don't worry. This subordinate has already asked General Zhao Yun to do something near Shiting City for my lord while the lord is changing clothes. I believe that within two hours, the stone pavilion will be broken, and Zhang Chun's head will be destroyed." I will also let General Zilong offer it to the lord." Zhou Yu said confidently.

"Oh? Gongjin is so confident? This makes me look forward to it, haha!" Zhao Lei laughed.

Zhou Yu nodded.
