Chapter 587: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
It is said that Yu Jin was washed into Chaohu Lake by floods and floated in the water. He was finally rescued by a caring man Wang Ping. Wang Ping was happy that Jin was still alive, but he was heartbroken by Yu Jin's death and punched the rebel general Wang Pingmen hard.
Wang Ping felt guilty and could only bear the pain and bowed his head in silence, but Zhao Yun cut off the ropes that tied Yu Jin with his sword and spoke seriously about his ideals. Yu Jin had no intention of listening, but he knew that Zhao Zilong was serious about why he joined the Qinglong Army.
Zhao Zilong is a master of martial arts, and his mind is as calm as water. After saying the words in his heart, Yu Jin finally understood what Zhao Yun said. The Qinglong Army came together not because of a common leader, but because of a common ideal. Killing the enemy was not for meritorious service, but for the welfare of the people.
Yu Jin recalled that when he first joined the army, he saw Cao Jun slaughtering the people in the city, burning, killing and looting in front of his eyes. How could he not feel it? The soldiers who were killing each other all had their eyes red with blood, plundering all the wealth and women they could plunder, even the generals they respected.
Later, when Yu Jin became a general, he was finally able to restrain his troops and became the most rigorous in Cao's army, with some control over the killings. However, we can only manage ourselves and cannot extend it to other tribesmen. Yu Jin often felt hatred in his heart, but his lord Cao Cao disagreed. He believed that he should love the people in the areas he controlled and be ruthless to the people in other areas. However, my lord has never thought that all the people in the world belong to the Han Dynasty?
Zhao Yun's words made Wang Ping feel something in his heart. Although he surrendered to the Qinglong Army, this was the first time he had the opportunity to listen to Zhao Yun talk about his ideas. The reason turned out to be so righteous and passionate. Wang Ping nodded slightly and said loudly: "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. My princes have all surrendered, and they will be loyal from now on. Zilong, I look forward to the day when my lord will be disarmed and return to the fields!"
If these last words were heard by other lords, Wang Ping might be beheaded. However, Zhao Zilong of the Qinglong Army laughed loudly and said: "What Zijun said is good! If the world is peaceful, I, Zhao Zilong, will also return to Zhaojiacun to teach young people martial arts!"
Wang Ping laughed and said: "It turns out that Zilong's real ideal is to be a martial arts instructor! Although my son has not been born yet, he has to sign up to be an apprentice in advance." The two laughed at the same time.
Yu Jin was calm on the surface, but the blood in his heart was surging. He just couldn't save his face. His voice was fierce just now. Could it be that he knelt down and surrendered now? Zhao Zilong is so approachable, I'm afraid he won't kill anyone now.
Yu Jin thought for a while, pointed at Zhao Yun's sword and said, "This is the Qingzhi sword of the young master of the Cao family. Has he been captured by you?"
Zhao Zilong said proudly: "Wenze has good eyesight. Cao Ang and Xiahou Ba are already our prisoners. If Cao Cao comes to invade, we can't tell, so we have to take the hostages to the top of the city. Let's see if Cao Cao can bear to watch his eldest son being beheaded in public."
Yu Jin knew that Cao Cao loved his eldest son, Cao Ang, the most, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Sure enough, Zhao Zilong has good tricks. I was invited by General Zilong today, and I, Yu Jin, should have died under the Qingzhi sword."
Zhao Yun knew that Yu Jin had something to say, so he returned the green sword to its sheath and turned to look at Yu Jin. Sure enough, Yu Jin continued: "Ran Zilong talked about the Qinglong Army fighting for the people and giving up power after victory. It sounded very fresh, and it felt like there was a true meaning in it. It was really hard to calm down."
Zhao Yun watched Yu Jin say what he was thinking, and couldn't help but nodded slightly. Yu Jin's eyes turned red and he continued: "It's pity that I have more than 10,000 brothers who died in the Chaohu turmoil because they were soldiers in the war. They also have their own wives behind them. Children. If I surrender now, how can I feel safe in my heart?" After saying that, he shed tears.
Wang Ping was so moved by Yu Jin's true feelings that he covered his eyes with his hands and shed tears too. The man sheds tears easily because he has not reached the sad point. Zhao Zilong felt solemn and solemn in his heart: "Wen Ze, I hereby promise that as long as Wen Ze is willing to abandon darkness and surrender to the light, the families of the Cao Army soldiers who died on the battlefield today will be compensated by the Qinglong Army as the survivors of martyrs. If the survivors are persecuted by the Cao Army, Qinglong The military special forces are responsible for rescuing them and arranging for them to temporarily settle in Jingzhou."
"When the world is restored to unification one day, I, Zhao Zilong, will ensure that they can all return home smoothly!" Zhao Zilong swore while swearing.
Yu Jin couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this. Everyone on the battlefield was his own lord, and the soldiers could only obey orders. Today's defeat was due to his wrong decision-making, which led to Pao Ze's death. No wonder Wang Ping, let alone Zhao Yun. Cao Cao was indeed very strict with the ban, but even if Zhao Yun let him go today, would he still have the face to return to Cao Cao's tent? I'm afraid Cao Cao was so angry that he could only give himself a knife.
How can a defeated general speak courageously? When Yu Jin thought about this, he couldn't help but lose his pride. Thinking of Zhao Zilong's ideal interpretation, it was the best reason for his surrender, which made him feel lucky and hopeful again. If you surrender not to survive in troubled times, but to the ideal of the welfare of the people, will you no longer have psychological barriers?
Yu Jin was troubled in his heart. Zhao Zilong had ordered the withdrawal of troops. In an instant, they all landed ashore. The Qinglong Army swept the battlefield and buried the thousands of Cao Jun corpses that could be salvaged in the mountains and forests. Facing the pit full of corpses of his comrades, Yu Jin remembered that he didn't know whether his deputy Chang Xi was alive or dead, and he couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees. Zhao Zilong mounted the white dragon horse beside him and said loudly: "Wen Ze, the war is over and you are free now. Will you follow me back to Hefei? Or return to Cao Ying? Or return to your hometown and retire? It's up to you to decide!"
When Yu Jin heard this, he raised his blood-red eyes in confusion. Could he be let go like this? It is said that the Qinglong Army never kills indiscriminately, and I just believe it today. Looking up, I saw Zhao Yun with a silver spear and a white horse, his eyes were like bright stars, his waist was hung with green hair, and his Su Luo robe was hugging the setting sun. He was really majestic and majestic. With such a great general in the Qinglong Army, maybe they can quickly unify and realize their ideals?
The white dragon horse kicked its hooves impatiently, sneezed a few times, and dug a few small holes on the spot, as if it would disappear in the next second. Wang Ping, who was next to him, also got on his horse, looked at Yu Jin and said anxiously: "Wen Ze, you and I both work for the welfare of the people of the world, how about serving the Qinglong Army?"
The blood in Yu Jin's chest was ignited by Wang Ping's words. He turned around and looked at the corpses of his comrades covered in soil. He kowtowed violently, stood up and roared: "Yu Wenze, please surrender! I am willing to fight for the people of the world." !”
Zhao Zilong was overjoyed and said nothing. He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. The already impatient white dragon horse rushed out like lightning and bolted towards Hefei City. Wang Ping personally pulled a war horse for Yu Jin and said with a smile: "General Wen Ze! I will return to Hefei with Zilong now, and you and I will defend the people of Hefei City together!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
