Chapter 181

"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

"I... I..." Guan Hai widened his eyes, and like Zhou Cang, he became speechless.

Because he suddenly realized something.

It seemed that after their Yellow Turban uprising, there were really many troops who often used the name of collecting supplies for the uprising to "forcibly" collect money and "forcibly" collect food from various villages.

Even... some Yellow Turbans didn't even let go of the women in the villages.

Now that he thought about it, that didn't seem to be following the mandate of heaven and the wishes of the people, but clearly to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Moreover, the Great Virtuous Teacher Zhang Jiao didn't come forward to stop such things from happening, as if he let the Yellow Turbans harm the people.

Now that he thought about it, apart from using talisman water to save people and treat people at the beginning, Zhang Jiao didn't seem to have done anything particularly beneficial to the people.

In fact, Guan Hai didn't know that Zhang Jiao and the others used the power of the demonic book Taiping Essential Arts to bewitch people.

Only then could they gather millions of people in various states of the Great Han to launch an uprising in such a short time.

Even Guan Hai and these people were bewitched by Zhang Jiao.

However, the higher one’s own strength, the less one was bewitched.

Seeing this, Su Li’s eyes also tightened, and he continued his verbal attack: "Brother Guan! Do you know that whether it is the imperial court or the common people, they now call you Yellow Turbans 'Ant Bandits', Yellow Turban Ant Bandits, like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat them!"

"In this situation where the hearts of the people are lost, do you really think your Yellow Turbans are truly righteous?"

"If it can't even be counted as righteousness, what is the use of your uprising! It is destined to head toward destruction!"

"At that time, how will you people handle yourselves? Will you be buried with this team that has lost the hearts of the people? Or will you spend your whole life hiding, living a life like a rat crossing the street? Being spurned by everyone?!!"

Following Su Li’s words, Guan Hai was also thinking about it unconsciously, if that situation appeared, what should he do?

Please subscribe, please send flowers, please rate!!

At this time, Su Li saw that Guan Hai was already wavering, so he struck while the iron was hot, saying to Guan Hai: "To be honest with you, Brother Guan, your General of Earth Zhang Bao was defeated by me in Julu two days ago, and I have accepted the surrender of one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans."

"I don't know how to deal with these one hundred thousand people yet."

"It just so happens that there are two great Yellow Turban generals like you."

"If you are willing, you can join Brother Zhou and serve me!"

"You can each pick some able-bodied men from among them to form a unit!"

"I will appoint you each as a general, how about that?"

Although this was an impromptu idea, it would be quite good if he could accept the surrender of both Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.

Training one hundred thousand people for them was also a path.

"I..."

Guan Hai’s face showed difficulty; his originally firm expression had been shaken by Su Li’s sudden combination of moves.

Upon hearing Su Li’s promise that he could let them form units from the one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans and appoint them as generals, his conviction never to surrender began to collapse bit by bit.

After all, if one had a choice, who would want to spend their life in prison? Going out to be a general, wouldn't that be glorious and satisfying?

Just like that, after struggling for a while...

Guan Hai took a deep breath and cupped his hands toward Su Li, "If you want me to surrender to you, I can, but I have a condition!"

Hearing Guan Hai say this, Su Li’s eyes lit up. He did not expect his "tongue-fu" to be so powerful that it actually persuaded Guan Hai to surrender. He hurriedly nodded and said: "Brother Guan, whatever condition you have, speak it quickly. As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely satisfy you!"

"Even if it is something I cannot do, I will do my best to fulfill it for you!"

As long as there were conditions, it was easy to talk; he was only afraid that Guan Hai would not mention anything and, like a stubborn child, spend his whole life in the military prison, which would be awkward.

"My condition is very simple. Even if I surrender to you, you must not make me go and attack the Yellow Turbans again!"

"Just that?"

Su Li glanced at him, having thought Guan Hai would raise some difficult requirement.

It turned out to be this; that was easy.

"Yes, just that!"

Guan Hai nodded.

Surrender was already a great humiliation for him; if he were forced to attack his old masters again, even for the sake of righteousness, he would rather be killed directly.

"Fine! I guarantee in the name of the Lord of Baiyun Town that I will absolutely not make you attack the Yellow Turbans."

"At this stage, I only need you to train troops for me!"

"How about that?!!"

Su Li also promised solemnly.

He now had Zhao Yu and the Red Blood Cavalry, and his overall strength was quite decent.

Even without Guan Hai or Zhou Cang’s help to attack the Yellow Turbans, it would have no impact on him.

Moreover, even if Guan Hai could not go to the front line, he could be placed in the rear.

Baiyun Town currently lacked one or two capable generals to guard it.

To prevent his rear from being stolen when he went to participate in the Battle of Yecheng later.

"In that case..." Guan Hai’s expression softened slightly, and he cupped his hands: "I, Guan Hai, will join you!"

"Brother Guan, no need for formalities; from now on, we are all one family!"

Su Li smiled and looked at Zhou Cang, "Brother Zhou, does what you said earlier still count?"

"What words?"

To be honest, Guan Hai’s operation had truly confused Zhou Cang. He had originally thought about not being a prisoner and outdoing Guan Hai.

As a result, Guan Hai had truly surrendered, and his own position was ambiguous.

"That would naturally be the matter of our brother Zhou, who is outstanding in martial arts, like the Overlord reborn, and capable of lifting a cauldron, joining my Baiyun Town?"

"Could it be that Brother Zhou, who is outstanding in martial arts and loyal to the core, is a person who goes back on his word?"

Su Li raised Zhou Cang even higher.

He did not believe that Zhou Cang could admit defeat in front of Guan Hai and admit that what he had just said was an impromptu idea.

Finally...

Like Guan Hai, Zhou Cang struggled for a while before giving in and saying to Su Li: "I, Zhou, keep my word. If I say I will join you, I will join your command. But I also have a condition!"

"What condition? Let me hear it?"

Su Li smiled.

It was the same thing: as long as there were conditions, it was easy to talk; don't be like a stubborn child, refusing to yield even in death.

"I am the same as him; you cannot make me, Zhou, go and attack the Yellow Turbans."

Having said this, Zhou Cang paused, then glanced at Guan Hai and continued to mention: "Besides that, the unit I train must be larger than Guan Hai’s!"

As soon as this was said, before Su Li could agree, Guan Hai jumped out: "Lord, no, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"If Zhou Cang makes such a request, then I also want to train a larger unit than him, only then will I surrender!"

"I don't care, anyway, I just want more soldiers than this Guan brute!"

Zhou Cang pouted and said shamelessly.

"Then I don't care either, my soldiers must be more than this Zhou turtle!"

Guan Hai also lost his temper and started throwing a tantrum.

Su Li had not had a chance to speak, but the two of them had started arguing first.

It could be said that they were fated enemies.

It was as if in their past lives, they were either a couple or one owed the other money.

Finally, having no other choice, Su Li compromised: "How about this, I will let you each pick ten thousand men from the one hundred thousand Yellow Turbans I brought back to train."

"When the time comes, we will pick a day for you to drill against each other. Whoever’s soldiers are stronger will command more soldiers in the future, how about that?"

The two looked at each other and nodded to Su Li almost simultaneously, agreeing: "Fine, then we will do as you say, Lord!"

Once the word "Lord" was uttered, it basically meant the two had acknowledged their master.

"Congratulations, you have recruited an epic NPC, Yellow Turban general: Guan Hai!"

"Congratulations, you have recruited an epic NPC, Yellow Turban general: Zhou Cang!"

With a notification popping up on the panel, Su Li finally possessed epic NPCs.

And he had obtained two at once, which could be said to be very nice.

Without further ado, he opened their attribute panels to check.

Without explanation, he opened the attribute panels of the two people directly to take a look.
