Chapter 843 Pingding Shouchun
The words of his subordinates put Zhang Xun in a dilemma, of course, Zhang Xun didn't care about the life and death of the people.
He also knew very well that even the subordinate in front of him, who was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, actually did not regard the life and death of the people as a matter in his heart, and all he and himself cared about was their own lives.
The reason why his subordinates came to save him was not so much because he was loyal to him, but more because he couldn't get into Lu Bu's eyes at all.
Even if he gave up everything, he directly took the initiative to go to Lu Bu to surrender.
Lu Bu might have taken his life with disdain, after all, his surrender would not bring much benefit to Lu Bu.
But it's different with himself, after all, he is the number one general under Yuan Shu.
Surrendered himself, whether it was the battle to appease Shouchun today, or the battle to take the entire territory of Yangzhou in the future, Lu Bu would at least spend several times less time and energy.
That's why this subordinate staged such a scene of loyal protector in front of him, nothing more than to take them to surrender himself.
In that case, not only can his life be saved, but it may even be possible that because of his merit in persuading himself to surrender, he will be able to become an official under Lu Bu in the future.
Almost instantly, Zhang Xun, who saw through all this, fell into confusion.
He had indeed intended that death would have made him loyal, but there was a voice deep down in his heart.
This voice kept telling him that it was 10,000 times better to live and live than to die!
What is the name of loyalty, those are all false names, only living is the most important thing!
Zhang Xun's subordinates saw that Zhang Xun no longer reprimanded him with a fierce look, but his face was full of confusion and hesitation.
He knew that in fact, Zhang Xun had already been moved by himself, and now as long as he worked harder, his life would be saved!
"General, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it! Now the people left behind by Yuan Shu are carrying the wealth he has accumulated over the years, and it won't be long before these people will burn this wealth that rivals the country! If we really let this wealth be burned in front of our eyes, and surrender at that time, General Lu will not only not be happy, but may not accept our invitation to surrender! Please also ask the general to make a decision early! ”
Hearing his subordinates say this, the fog in front of Zhang Xun's eyes seemed to disperse all at once, and he saw that his eyes flashed, and he had made the final decision!
"Follow the book!"
As soon as the short four words were spoken, Zhang Xun's subordinates were overjoyed at the time, he knew that Zhang Xun had made a decision, and now his little fate could really be saved!
Zhang Xun took his subordinates, as well as the Yangzhou rout soldiers who had been returning all the way outside, and went straight to the mansion where Yuan Shu was before.
As soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I saw hundreds of Yuan Shu's guards busy carrying things like ants moving.
These things include countless gold and silver, a large number of jewelry, and all kinds of precious weapons and armor, as well as many good things that Zhang Xun has never seen!
Now Yuan Shu's hundreds of guards are piling up these riches towards the courtyard in the middle of the mansion, and they have piled up some firewood and lamp oil around these riches, as long as there is a little spark, this wealth will turn into ashes!
Of course, when these guards of Yuan Shu were carrying wealth, they also stuffed some small and high-value things into their arms.
Seeing Zhang Xun and them coming in, one of them, as the leader of Yuan Shu's personal soldiers who was responsible for burning this wealth, walked up to Zhang Xun and the others, and before Zhang Xun could speak, he reprimanded:
"Zhang Xun, didn't you receive an order from the lord? The lord ordered you to go quickly to resist Lu Bu, why did you bring these wastes of your men to the lord's mansion? Why don't you hurry up and block Lu Bu, aren't you afraid that the lord will punish you! ”
Originally, Zhang Xun was still hesitating, whether to leave these guards, after all, these are also his acquaintances, and it is nothing to pull them when he has a way to live!
But now when he heard it, the other party actually spoke so wildly to himself, and the anger in Zhang Xun's heart suddenly rose to the top of his head.
He reached out and pulled out the sword at his waist, and with a single sword, he slashed down the leader of the formidable personal army.
Then he pointed forward with the sword in his hand, and his subordinates rushed out one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the personal soldiers left by Yuan Shu were directly stunned by the changes in front of them.
When they remembered to put down their belongings and prepare to fight back, a fact that made them desperate was cruelly placed in front of them.
That is, they just lost all the weapons in their hands in order to carry their belongings!
Now let them take the gold and silver in their hands and fight back?
The guards who lost their weapons fell under the swords of Zhang Xun and others like lambs to the slaughter.
In less than half a cup of tea, Zhang Xun and others completely occupied Yuan Shu's mansion.
Later, Zhang Xun sent people to continue to carry property, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to go out of the mansion to gather the defeated army.
At this time, Shouchun was still in chaos, and there were still many Yangzhou soldiers resisting in the city!
Now that you have made the decision to surrender, you should try to avoid such resistance from continuing.
Otherwise, if Lu Bu was angered because of this, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain!
With Zhang Xun's decision, Shouchun City quickly stabilized.
Those Yangzhou soldiers who were still resisting, after receiving Zhang Xun's order to lay down their weapons, lost the confidence to continue fighting even if they were reluctant.
This change also made Lu Bu a little unacceptable for a while, he had already prepared to wash the entire Shouchun in blood.
But I didn't expect Shouchun to fall into his hands so easily.
And he also heard that Zhang Xun was ready to surrender to him, which was almost a pie in the sky, and Lu Bu was a little faint.
However, after so many years of fighting, Lu Bu's mind has long been tempered with incomparable tenacity.
So even if he had some doubts in his heart, Lu Bu still made a sure look.
It wasn't until those soldiers led him to Yuan Shu's mansion that Lu Bu saw Zhang Xun with a deferential face.
Coupled with the mountain of wealth behind Zhang Xun, Lu Bu confirmed the authenticity of this matter!
"Haha! It is really gratifying that General Zhang can abandon the darkness and turn to the light! Please rest assured that General Zhang will return to Linzi in the future, and Bu will definitely show the general's exploits in front of the lord! ”
"Thank you General Lu for his great kindness, Zhang Xun is a general of the defeated army, how dare he be so loved by the general! Winning Shouchun all depends on the general's clever plan, and Zhang is just taking advantage of the trend, and he really can't talk about any merits. If you want to talk about merit, General Lu is the real hard work this time! ”
"General Zhang is polite, by the way, has the general ever seen Yuan Shu's dog thief?"
"General Qiyu Lu, Yuan Shu's dog thief had already abandoned Shouchun and fled towards the nest when the general had just entered the city!"
"Nesting? I wonder if General Zhang is interested in accompanying the general to pursue the Yuan Shu dog thief? ”
