NOVEL NEXT Chapter 173
Zhang Fu looked at Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou, who stood upright, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Now they have become prisoners, but they still maintain a proud attitude.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that they would have been unable to suppress their anger and dragged them down to behead them.
However, Zhang Fu did not do so, but instead extended an olive branch to Zhang He and Gao Lan.
He smiled and said: "Zhang He, Gao Lan, you two are very capable. If you are willing to join the Yellow Turban Army, I can promise to let you stay together and give you the power to lead the army independently!"
Looking at the close position of the two, Zhang Fu keenly sensed the deep friendship between them.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to offer attractive conditions, hoping to attract them to join his camp.
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao's eyes turned, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "My lord, I suggest that those who are ignorant of the times should be mercilessly executed, and even their families should be killed together to eliminate future troubles."
"All means such as confiscating the family, exterminating the three clans, and killing the nine clans can be implemented!"
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia's faces changed, secretly sighing at Yao Guangxiao's cruelty.
From Yao Guangxiao's serious expression, they clearly realized that Yao Guangxiao was not just talking.
"I am willing to surrender!" Zhang He said firmly, and then pulled Gao Lan to join the Yellow Turban Army directly, and at the same time recognized Zhang Fu as the leader.
In fact, even if Yao Guangxiao did not threaten their families, Zhang He and Gao Lan would be willing to join, after all, Zhang Fu's conditions for leading the army alone were too tempting.
"Okay, okay, E Lai and Zhong Kang, untie them quickly, take them away and clean them up, and come back to discuss tomorrow!"
Zhang Fu laughed happily, and then waved his hand to arrange Dian Wei and Xu Chu to take Zhang He and Gao Lan to rest. They looked a little embarrassed now.
After Zhang He and Gao Lan went down, Zhang Fu clearly felt a murderous look.
Zhang Fu turned his head and saw Lu Zhi staring at him, his eyes full of hatred and anger, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"What about you, are you willing to surrender?" Zhang Fu asked Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou.
At the same time, he also arranged for someone to take out the smelly socks in their mouths, and then he heard the three people scolding him directly.
Zhang Fu was not angry, after all, he had been prepared, so he sat there sipping tea, listening to Lu Zhi, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou scolding him, just like watching a play.
Half an hour passed, and the three were exhausted, their throats were hoarse, and their lips were cracked.
Zhang Fu looked at them, with a sneer on his face: "Since you still have this attitude, don't blame me for being ruthless. Come on, drag Lu Zhi down and behead him, and then kill his entire family!"
After that, he waved his hand and issued an execution order.
Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Yan immediately took action and quickly escorted Lu Zhi out. Tian Feng and Ju Shou wanted to step forward to stop them, but were blocked by Zhao Yun.
"Gentlemen, the court is now extremely corrupt. Dong Zhuo has even entered Luoyang and used the emperor to control the princes. Shouldn't such a traitor deserve to die?"
Zhang Fu said righteously: "And our Yellow Turban Army is fighting for the people of the world. You have been to Youzhou and you should know how happy the people there are. The same is true for Bingzhou. Our goal is to let more people live a good life."
Zhang Fu tried to persuade Tian Feng and Ju Su to join his camp. Although he knew that it was not easy to persuade the two to surrender, as long as he was patient, there would always be a day of success.
Of course, if it still didn't work in the end, it didn't matter if they were killed directly. Anyway, he had a system and was not short of talents.
At this time, a man walked in, it was Cheng Yu.
He bowed and said: "Cheng Yu greets the lord!"
It turned out that Cheng Yu parted ways with Cheng Yaojin when he set out from Youzhou, and rushed all the way, just to arrive in time for this moment.
Zhang Fu looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Cheng Yu was very familiar with persuading others to surrender.
After all, Cheng Yu had persuaded others to surrender or recruit talents for Zhang Fu many times, and he was experienced and skillful.
So Zhang Fu was naturally relieved to let Cheng Yu handle this matter this time.
So Zhang Fu smiled and said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, then I'll leave it to you!" After that, Zhang Fu turned and left, leaving Cheng Yu with Tian Feng and Ju Shou.
Cheng Yu stared at Tian Feng and Ju Shou with a sharp gaze.Both of them looked helpless and sighed inwardly.
They all knew that they were in a desperate situation and if they didn't surrender, they would probably die.
But it was really difficult for them to let go of their pride and bow to Zhang Fu immediately.
Cheng Yu seemed to see through the two people's thoughts. He smiled and said, "You two, the situation is now determined. If you continue to insist, you will only end up with your heads and bodies separated. It is better to surrender to my master and create a great cause together."
Tian Feng snorted coldly and retorted, "Hmph, although we are defeated, we will not easily surrender to the enemy."
Ju Su also echoed, "Yes, we would rather die than surrender!"
After hearing this, Cheng Yu was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Why are you two so stubborn? I am a hero of the time, with great talent and vision. If you are willing to surrender, you will be able to achieve a career in the future."
Tian Feng sneered, "Even if your master is capable, he is just a rebel. How can we surrender easily?" Ju Su also shook his head, showing his disdain.
Seeing that the two were determined, Cheng Yu knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he changed his way and persuaded them earnestly.
"You two know that Zhang Fu not only has outstanding military talents, but more importantly, he cares about the people and wants to seek welfare for the people. Isn't such a lord worthy of your following?"
Tian Feng was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Alas, in fact, I have long seen that Zhang Fu is indeed extraordinary. But..." At this point, he glanced at Ju Su next to him, and hesitated to speak.
Ju Su saw this and took over the conversation and said: "But if we join the Yellow Turban Army, it means betraying the Han Dynasty, which is really inappropriate."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately understood in his heart: "In fact, it is all for the people of the world. Are you learning these just for this corrupt court?"
"We should read and learn to read for the people of the world, so that people in the world can live a good life, and only my lord has such ability in the world today!"
"Think about it carefully, I'll come again tomorrow!" Cheng Yu left directly after he finished speaking.
Tian Feng and Ju Su looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
......
Night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water, illuminating the room where Tian Feng and Ju Shou were.
The two sat opposite each other, the candlelight swaying, reflecting their serious faces.
"Brother Feng, what do you think about whether we should join the Yellow Turban Army and recognize Zhang Fu as our lord?" Ju Shou was the first to break the silence and asked in a heavy tone.
Tian Feng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I think this is a difficult choice. Although the Yellow Turban Army is powerful, their actions have also caused a lot of controversy. However, now that the Han Dynasty is declining and the world is in chaos, we need to find an opportunity to realize our ambitions."
Ju Shou nodded in agreement and continued: "Indeed, although Zhang Fu was born in poverty, his wisdom and courage are admirable. If we can get his appreciation, perhaps we can show our talents and seek welfare for the people. But joining the Yellow Turban Army means being an enemy of the court, which is very risky."
Tian Feng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Yes, this It is a dilemma. However, we cannot ignore the power represented by the Yellow Turban Army. They have a broad mass base, and Zhang Fu's slogan of "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established" is deeply popular. If we can join them, we may be able to change some of the current situation. "
Ju Su thought for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "In this case, let's decide to join the Yellow Turban Army! But we must also maintain our principles and bottom line and not do things that go against our conscience. At the same time, we must act cautiously to avoid being involved in unnecessary disputes. "
Tian Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ju Su's point of view.
Then, the two discussed some specific details, including how to contact Zhang Fu and how to gain a foothold in the Yellow Turban Army.
Finally, they agreed to go to the governor's mansion together the next day to formally express their intentions to Zhang Fu.
On this night, Tian Feng and Ju Su made an important decision in their lives.
They knew that the road ahead was rugged, but their hearts were full of expectations and longings for the future.
In this chaotic world, they hope to bring a glimmer of hope to the people through their own efforts and create a new era for the people of the world.
......
The next day, Cheng Yu came early in the morning and saw Tian Feng and Ju Shou standing at the door.
"It seems they are waiting for me!" Cheng Yu saw this scene and understood that the matter was done.
The three of them were smart people. They smiled at each other and went to the City Lord's Mansion to find Zhang Fu.
Cheng Yu did not ask them what they had experienced and why they finally decided to join the Yellow Turban Army.As long as the result is good, that's enough.
Jizhou Governor's Mansion,
"Tian Feng and Ju Shou greet the Lord!" Tian Feng and Ju Shou bowed in unison.
Zhang Fu laughed and helped the two up and said, "With your help, I will definitely be able to achieve my ambition faster!"
Then Zhang Fu, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, and Ju Shou all laughed. There was no need to say too much about many things.
