Although Lu Bu defeated Gong Jinyuan and eliminated the last Gongjin family, Liaodong had been living outside the Central Plains Pass for a long time. Naturally, it would be better to find a local general to lead him. Therefore, Lu Bu chose Murong Zhao, a general from the Xianbei nation.

Zhao was moved by emotion and Xiao was driven by reason. Faced with today's predicament, Murong Zhao actually began to waver.

As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. After Gong Jinyuan independently led his troops and left Gongjin Gong, as Gong Jinyuan's military exploits increased, especially Murong Zhao, who was the main force of the army, he was looked down upon by countless people. Of course, he hated these things in his heart.

A gossip.

However, the so-called wavering before was just a thought, Murong Zhao never took it seriously.

But the situation is different now. As the prefect said, this time he is really in a dilemma.

If he was a little cautious, Jin Tian might be angry and turn his anger on him.

Seeing that Murong Zhao's eyes were in a trance, the prefect knew that his emotional words had worked, and further said: "The entire Liaodong has been occupied by our Chu army. Our Chu army has risen and Liaoyang City has been able to rise in a short period of time. Now in Zhongzhou, North Korea, Si

Li, Huainan, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Liaodong are all ours

Yes, there are three parts of the world, and we have already occupied two. My King of Chu and General Lu Bu have always valued generals. Why don’t the generals submit to General Murong? Not only can they avoid death, but they can also help the King of Chu achieve great success.

This is a perfect strategy proposed by Ma to the general. Please think twice."

After several rounds of elaboration, the prefect finally revealed his true purpose.

This was also the reason why Lu Bu recruited him, to use the prefect's eloquence to persuade Murong Zhao, a tiger general, to surrender.

Hearing this, Murong Zhao's figure trembled, and he sat up immediately.

He looked directly at the prefect, without saying a word, and his expression was extremely complicated.

In the lobby, silence fell again for a while.

Suddenly, the silence was disturbed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the soldiers rushed in.

"General, the counselors are clamoring to see the general. The young men can't stop him. He is about to break in."

Hearing that the counselor suddenly came in, Murong Zhao couldn't help but frown, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

If the counselor saw the prefect here, I don't know what he would think.

Murong Zhao turned his eyes sharply to the eunuch, suggesting that he should avoid it first.

The prefect pretended not to know, and just lowered his head and drank the tea in the cup leisurely.

In just a moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the counselor had pushed aside the guard at the door and strode into the hall.

"The general is in danger, Murong Zhao, you have repeatedly stood still. Could it be that you want to kill the general?"

The counselor who broke in did not notice that there was an outsider, so he opened his mouth to accuse Murong Zhao.

Being accused like this in front of outsiders, Murong Zhao felt that his face was dull, and he couldn't help but get angry, and glared at the counselor with tiger eyes.

At this time, the counselor just noticed that someone else was present, and his triangular eyes couldn't help but glance at the prefect suspiciously.

"Who is he?" the counselor asked suspiciously.

Before Murong Zhao could speak, the prefect gave him a smile and said, "I, the prefect, have admired the name of the counselor for a long time. I am honored to meet you."

Upon hearing the name of the prefect, the counselor's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes turned to Murong Zhao without concealing his suspicion.

"General Murong, isn't this person a subordinate of Lu Bu? Why is he here with General Wen?"

The counselor asked coldly.

Murong Zhao was already clumsy, and now he didn't know how to explain it, so he froze for a moment.

At this time, the prefect stood up and said calmly: "General Murong is going to submit to my general Lu Bu. Of course Yi came here for this reason. Why, the counselor must also have the intention to submit. If so, Yi can be Mr.

Recommend to my general."

Murong Zhao was shocked. He never expected that the eunuch would openly say such words.

The purpose of the prefect was, of course, to push "Murong Zhao" to a dead end and force him to make a decision.

When the counselor heard this, he was naturally horrified.

After being stunned for a long time, the counselor couldn't help but became furious. He pointed at Murong Zhao and cursed: "Well, you Murong Zhao, you really conspired with Lu Bu's thief. In the battle of Liaoyang, you must have been the liaison, causing the general to be captured. Murong

Zhao, are you worthy of the kindness the Gongjin family has shown you?"

By now, Murong Zhao knew that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape.

Listening to the counselor's slanderous words, thinking about all the previous attacks on him by the counselor's party, and thinking about Gong Jinyuan's indulgence of those villains, the anger that had been suppressed in Murong Zhao's heart for a long time burst out like a flood that escaped from the gate.

.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, murderous aura billowing out of his body.

He strode up to the counselor, looked at him coldly, and said sternly: "This general is about to betray Gong Jinyuan, what can you do?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Zhao had no way out and he had made his choice.

"Murong Zhao, Murong Zhao, you are so bold!"

The counselor felt a hint of fear, but he did not want to show his cowardice, so he still scolded Murong Zhao with a livid face.

Murong Zhao had hated him so much for a long time, but now that he had made his decision, how could he tolerate his harsh words again?

But when Murong Zhao waved his arm, Nuo Da's fist was like a hammer hitting the counselor who was constantly cursing.

"Bang!"

A punch hit the counselor's nose hard.

The counselor was just a scholar, how could he withstand Murong Zhao's heavy punch? The punch only made the counselor scream in pain.

"Murong Zhao, how dare you hit me, I will definitely ask the general -"

Before he could say anything, Murong Zhao punched the counselor in the abdomen again.

The counselor was hit hard again, his eyes almost popped out, he staggered a few times, then he collapsed to the ground clutching his stomach.

After knocking the counselor to the ground with a few punches, Murong Zhao let out a long breath, feeling the long-suppressed anger and feeling indescribably happy.

The prefect watching the show with a smile on his side also showed some relief on his face.

After beating the counselor, Murong Zhao shook his hands, raised his hands and said to the prefect: "General Gongjin's subordinates are all such villains. I have long been fed up with it. I have decided to submit to General Lu Bu and help him achieve great success. I

Now I will go with you sir to see the general."

The prefect laughed loudly and said happily: "The general really understands justice. If General Lu Bu can win the general like this, he will be a great general in the world, so why worry about failing to accomplish his great cause."

That day, the eunuch announced that Murong Zhao would be surrendered.

The prefect then sent someone to report the news to Liaoyang City, and at the same time he set off with Murong Zhao, taking thousands of troops and cavalry, as well as the counselor as a prisoner, to return to Liaoyang City in person.

Lu Bu in Liaoyang City received the urgent report from the eunuch and learned that Murong Zhao was willing to surrender. Naturally, he was extremely happy.

Murong Zhao had great martial arts skills, was proficient in cavalry, and regarded himself as a general. He was trustworthy. How could Lu Bu not be overjoyed to have such a pillar general?

So as soon as he received the news, Lu Bu ordered his troops and horses and left Liaoyang City in person to welcome Murong Zhao's return.

As the sun approached the setting sun, I finally saw the shadows of soldiers and horses on the north road.

Lu Bubu thought that Murong Zhao was leading his troops, so he reined in the soldiers and horses, waited where they were, and sent his servants to investigate.

After a while, the scout reported back, and it turned out that Murong Zhao's troops had arrived.

In order to show that he had no other intentions, Murong Zhao asked the soldiers and horses to stay while the two armies were three or four miles away, while he, the prefect, and a dozen of his horsemen came to meet them.

Lu Bu stood on his horse and looked to the north. He saw more than ten riders and horses galloping towards him on the main road.

Murong Zhao came alone, and his desire to surrender was no different.

"drive!"

Lü Bu was overjoyed and rode forward to greet him. Zang Ba and more than ten cavalrymen also followed him.

When they were more than ten steps away, Murong Zhao jumped off his horse, ran forward with long strides, bowed his hands and bowed.

Lu Bu jumped off his horse in a hurry, stepped forward to help Murong Zhao up, and said with a smile: "General Murong, you are finally willing to assist me, general."

"I failed to come to see the general as early as possible. I hope the general will forgive me."

Murong Zhao also smiled happily, but felt a little ashamed.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "General, how can I not understand your difficulties? What happened in the past is over. From now on, you and I will fight side by side. Why can't we create a great cause together?"

"The former general had a violent and narrow-minded personality, but now he is so generous. It is really rare. It seems that my choice, Murong Zhao, is a wise one..."

Murong Zhao admired Lu Bu even more in his heart, and he immediately raised his hand and said with emotion: "From now on, the life of the general belongs to the general. The general is willing to go through fire for the general, no matter what."

Hearing Murong Zhao's words, Lu Bu was both moved and pleased.

In excitement, Lu Bu patted Murong Zhao on the shoulder and said with a bold smile: "If we don't say anything else today, let's go into the city and have a drink."

Lu Bu took Murong Zhao and wanted to return to Liaoyang City.

Murong Zhao said with a smile: "General, don't be anxious. I will come back in the future and bring a gift for the general."

"Gift?"

Lu Bu was suddenly curious.

At this time, Murong Zhao waved and asked his subordinates to bring up the so-called "gift".
