After listening to Liu Bei's suggestion, Luo Ge carefully observed Liu Bei's expression and found that he didn't seem to be joking, so he stopped smiling and lowered his head to think for a moment.
Then he shook his head.
"Although I admire your military exploits, I am not willing to do anything treacherous. We agreed together to raise troops, resist the government, and kill officials. We have made a big mistake and will never be forgiven by the court. I still know this.
Now it doesn't matter if I lose the battle, I can just die. How can I go back and do something treacherous? Please also use your sword to chop off my head. If you can, please spare my tribesmen from the death penalty and give them a way to live. "
Hearing this, Liu Bei slowly shook his head.
"I can understand your thoughts, but I can't promise you. Unless you are willing to give up your merits, serve me, and obey my instructions, otherwise, I cannot promise you anything. I also want to ask the court Cross-fertilization.”
Luo Ge felt sorry and sighed.
"Then it's up to your decision."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
Liu Bei thought for a while and asked: "This time, because of your rebellion, the imperial court appointed me as the governor, and asked me to leave troops to garrison Yizhou after the war was settled. I will be in charge of Yizhou's military affairs. That means that from now on After that, I became the highest military officer in Yizhou.
If you can surrender to me and help me persuade your companions to stop causing rebellion and obey my orders, then I can absolve you of your sins and allow you to join the army and follow me. What do you think of this condition? Sample? "
"this……"
Luo Ge lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and his heart moved.
Since he has read books, become Chinese, and has knowledge and knowledge of the power system of the Han Empire, he can clearly understand how powerful Liu Bei's power is.
Although they can resist the oppression of corrupt officials, the strength of their resistance is limited, and the number of tribesmen is also limited.
Once the Han Central Committee sends troops to suppress it, they can hardly win.
At this point, they also know that this empire is such a big empire after all, and they cannot bear to slap their hands casually.
In the final analysis, it was because they did not have enough power and status that they were underestimated. Even a county official could deceive and insult them without any fear.
As long as they have some power and can make those officials take action, they will not be forced to rebel.
Now there was a great opportunity in front of him. A world-famous strong man stood in front of him and asked him if he wanted to follow him, become his subordinate, obey his orders, and then accept his protection.
To be honest, this condition is too tempting.
He believed that among the people, unless they were fools, it would be impossible for anyone to refuse Liu Bei's solicitation.
The only thing that worried him was, was Liu Bei sincere?
"My people have committed such a mistake. Can you ensure that we are not held accountable? We killed officials. Can the court allow this kind of thing?"
Liu Bei smiled.
"As long as you become my subordinates and obey my orders, if you are held accountable, you are holding me accountable. There are not many people in this big man who dare to hold me accountable. None of them can succeed. My only request is that you take the robbery away." The looted finances will be returned to you, and I will compensate you for what the government owes you, what do you think?"
Luo Ge pursed his lips.
"If I follow you, will everything you say come true? Will my people get your protection? Will we no longer be oppressed and humiliated by the government?"
Liu Bei pointed at the dive next to the military camp.
"I, as the Mu of Liangzhou, the General of Hussars, and the Marquis of Fanyang, Liu Bei, swear to Qian Qian that if you follow me, become my subordinates, and obey my orders, then I will protect you, absolve you of your sins, and make you Your people will no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials. If you cannot abide by your oath, you will be killed by both heaven and man."
Luo Ge was moved, took a deep breath, and lowered his head towards Liu Bei.
"With your words, I no longer have any doubts. I will also swear to Qian Qian that as long as you keep your promise, I will keep your promise and lead my people to follow you, join your army, and fight for you wherever you point. The direction of the battle is the direction in which my tribe and I will fight! Even if we all die in battle, we will not hesitate to do so. It violates the oath and we will kill both humans and nature!"
Liu Bei was very happy and personally stepped forward to release Luo Ge from his restraints.
After being released from the restraints, Luo Ge knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Bei.
"If I could have met you earlier, my tribe and I would not have embarked on this path. If we were not forced to do so, there is really no other way. My tribe and I are unwilling to fight against the big man. Now that we are lucky enough to follow you, my tribe and I will definitely I will do my best! I will not let down your hard work!”
Liu Bei helped Luo Ge up.
"I'm very happy with your words. I was not in Yizhou before, so I didn't know what happened and couldn't intervene. But now that I'm in Yizhou and in charge of Yizhou's military, I will never allow unfair things." I will handle your matters that happen in front of me, and I believe that the officials within Yizhou will still give me some face in this matter."
Luo Ge was overjoyed.
"Thank you, General!"
Luo Ge decided to surrender, and his captured men were later released from their bonds and returned to his command. They reorganized the army, reorganized it, and became part of the Han army that obeyed Liu Bei's orders.
Jia Xu still felt a little uneasy about this.
"They have just been defeated and now they have surrendered. Let them resume fighting immediately, restore their organization and command, and give them weapons. I fear they may be unstable. I think this is a dangerous matter. Please give it more thought."
Liu Bei shook his head.
"Of course it is good to be gentle and cautious, but I also believe in my oath. If they violate their oath and betray their trust, then I am confident that I can kill them all, but I will never make such an assumption first.
Since I have made a promise, I must keep it. This is a promise to them, and it is also a promise to God and myself. I treat them with sincerity, and I believe that they will not let down my sincerity. "
Jia Xu then said no more.
According to the agreement between Liu Bei and Luo Ge, Luo Ge will serve as the vanguard of Liu Bei's subordinates and work for him to persuade the rebellious people to give up their rebellion.
As Liu Bei expected, Luo Ge worked very hard to fulfill his promise, implemented his promise, and put in great efforts and efforts for Liu Bei to put down the rebellion.
In the process of going south from Hanchang County to Danqu County, they encountered three groups of rebel troops. Luo Ge took the lead, holding Liu Bei's general flag and talking to the rebel leaders on behalf of Liu Bei.
He used emotion, reason, and the future to persuade, and he persuaded these three rebel armies one after another, and guided their leaders to pay homage to Liu Bei, so that they also joined Liu Bei's army and marched with Liu Bei.
In this way, the army arrived at Danqu County smoothly without another battle. Liu Bei's troops reached the core area of this rebellion without any bloodshed.
In Dangqu County, which was captured by the Jin rebels, there was also a large number of Jin rebels. Luo Ge entered the city holding a flag and talked with the rebel leaders in the city, telling Liu Bei's requirements and promises to them. I hope they can surrender to Liu Bei and not start another conquest.
Du Hu, the leader of the rebels in the city, had a relationship with Luo Ge. He thought about it and put forward his own idea.
He proposed to fight Liu Bei once.
If he loses, he will surrender to Liu Bei. If he wins, Liu Bei will fight him with real swords and guns, and don't say anything else.
