An officer rushed behind Zhang Lang, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the General, Meng You and Meng Jie's envoy asked for the General!"

Everyone showed surprise and admired Zhang Lang's magic tricks and was so proud of him.

Zhang Lang said to the officer, "Take him up." The officer shouted and ran down. After a moment, he led a middle-aged man in traditional costumes in the Southern Barbarians to Zhang Lang. The officer said to the envoy, "Greetings to the general!" The envoy looked at Zhang Lang and felt an unspeakable power coming towards him. He couldn't help but bow his knees and kneel down, "The villain has seen the great general of Han!"

Zhang Lang said: "Get up and talk."

The messenger stood up.

Zhang Lang looked at him and felt that this middle-aged man was very different from ordinary Southern Barbarians. Ordinary Southern Barbarians gave people a very rude feeling, but the person in front of him exuded a bit of a bookish atmosphere. "Are you a Han person?" Zhang Lang asked.

The envoy quickly replied: "Deng Ronglu is a Han native. His ancestral home is Luoyang. Sometimes he comes to Nanzhong to do business with his father, and then he stays here." Everyone was very surprised when he heard his words.

Zhang Lang asked: "Since you are a Han Chinese, why did you become Meng Huo's subordinate?"

Deng Ronglu replied: "The general misunderstood. The villain is not a subordinate of Meng Huo, nor is it Meng You or Meng Jie's subordinate. The villain is just Meng You's friend."

"Since that's the case, can you represent Meng You Mengjie?"

Deng Ronglu said respectfully: "The villain is not here to negotiate on behalf of him, but only to express his willingness to surrender on behalf of him, and ask the general to accept it."

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Do they have no conditions?"

Deng Ronglu said: "Under this situation, the army is approaching, and in an instant, the entire Yongchang will be burned! They dare not have any conditions, and only pray to the general to accept their surrender!"

Zhang Lang felt that Deng Ronglu's words and behaviors were far from comparable to ordinary businessmen, so he asked, "Do you think I should do this?" Everyone was very surprised to see that Zhang Lang actually asked such a question.

Deng Ronglu clasped his fists and said, "In view of the villain's current situation, he shouldn't dare to say anything."

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "But it's okay."

Deng Ronglu clasped his fists and said, "Since the general wants the villain to say that it is better to obey orders than to be respectful." He paused, "In the eyes of the villain, the general should accept the surrender of the two of them. There are two reasons. One is to reduce the losses. Although the current situation is no longer suspense, if they are not given a chance to surrender, they will be trapped and the trapped beasts will fight to the death. Although it is still inevitable to solve the defeat, the general will have to pay a considerable price. This is obviously something the general does not want to see, and it is also unfavorable to the general; the other is,..." Deng Ronglu looked around Zhang Lang and lowered his head and said, "It is also good to have more tribal leaders to guard the Nanzhong for the general!"

Zhang Lang heard Deng Ronglu's implicit voice. His meaning should be that the power of Meng Huo clan could be used to restrain Zhurong, Shamoke and other barbarian forces. Maintaining a balance of power in the southern middle is obviously beneficial to rule the southern middle middle. Zhang Lang felt that Deng Ronglu was indeed unusual and might allow him to take on the great responsibility.

"You go back and tell Meng You Mengjie that I accept their surrender and let them lead their troops here immediately."

Deng Ronglu promised, "The villain immediately repays the general's grace to both commanders." He turned around and left, and the officer who brought him in just now still took him away.

...

Deng Ronglu returned to Meng You and Meng Jie's tent opposite the ferry and said Zhang Lang's words to the two of them intact. The two were both happy and worried. They were happy that Zhang Lang accepted their surrender, and they were worried whether Lu Bu would set a trap for them, and they suddenly had murderous intent after they brought them over.

Deng Ronglu saw the concerns of the two and asked with a smile: "Are you worried about the general's sincerity?"

The two nodded, and Meng You said worriedly: "I have no idea what the general will treat us after we really pass?" Meng Jieshen nodded in agreement.

Deng Ronglu said: "It is natural for you to have this concern. But I think your concerns are completely redundant! I can say with great certainty that the general will never have any bad thoughts! There are two reasons. First, the previous examples, from King Shamokodos to the Three Knots of the Golden Ring, and then to the commanders of all races west of Dongnong Mountain, they have received the sincere kindness of the general; second, in the current situation, does the general need to use such conspiracy? If he forcibly attack, the two ask themselves how long can they resist?"

The two nodded in agreement.

Deng Ronglu said: "There is another reason. If the general wants to govern Nanzhong, he must show enough mind. With this alone, the general cannot attack the two of them!"

The two of them let go of the big stone in their hearts, Meng You said: "Sir, these words have relieved our doubts! Let's lead our army to surrender!" Meng nodded.

Deng Ronglu said: "When you are like this, the general will naturally treat you well, but it is difficult to reuse you. If you want to be reused and stand out among the leaders, you must make great contributions!"

The two of them showed distress, and Meng You said distressedly: "But how can we make great contributions?"

Deng Ronglu smiled and said, "In fact, there is a great achievement in front of the two, it depends on whether they are willing to do it."

The two of them said anxiously: "Sir, please tell me if you have any idea!"

Deng Ronglu attached himself to the two of them and whispered a few words. The two widened their eyes, and Meng You said in embarrassment: "Is this a bit unauthentic?" Meng Jieshen nodded in agreement.

Deng Ronglu smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to feel guilty at all, because only by doing this can you save his life. Otherwise, once the general comes to the city, he will die! Therefore, the two did not harm him, but saved him."

After hearing Deng Ronglu's words, the two felt very reasonable and nodded. Meng You said to Meng Jie, "Sir, what's right!" Meng Jie asked, "Who will go back?" Meng You showed a hint of embarrassment. Deng Ronglu smiled and said, "You don't have to make things difficult for you, just draw lots for this matter." The two of them lit up their eyes, and Meng Jie said happily: "Yes, draw lots! Whoever catches will return to Yongchang!" Meng You nodded.

Deng Ronglu walked to the desk table, picked up the brush, and wrote it in his palms. He put down the brush, held his fists, turned around, and said to the two: "I have written one word "go" and one word "not in these two palms. If you choose the word "go" and one word "not", you will return to Yongchang. Come and choose.
