Chapter 398 Liu Bei is a man who keeps his promises
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 to raise an army, 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 treacherous things? Please chop off my head with a knife. If you can, please exempt my tribesmen from the death penalty and give them
A way to survive.”
When Liu Bei heard this, he 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 can't promise you anything. I also want to ask the court
Cross-fertilization.”
Luo Ge felt sorry and sighed.
"Then I can only leave it to your decision."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again.
Liu Bei thought for a moment and then 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 trouble 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 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 will hardly be able to 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 is because they do not have enough power and status that they are underestimated by others. Even a county official can deceive and humiliate 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 before 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 who were cheating, it was impossible for anyone to refuse Liu Bei's solicitation unless he was a fool.
The only thing that worried him was, was Liu Bei sincere?
"My people have committed such a mistake, can you ensure that we will not be held accountable? We have killed officials. Can the court allow this kind of thing?"
Liu Bei smiled.
"As long as you become my subordinates and obey my orders, then if you are held accountable, you are holding me accountable. There are not many people in the whole country who dare to hold me accountable. None of them can succeed. My only request is that you
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.
"As the shepherd of Liangzhou, the general of cavalry, and the Marquis of Fanyang, Liu Bei, I 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, both heaven and man will be killed."
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 lead,
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 is against the oath, and we will kill everyone!"
Liu Bei was very happy and personally stepped forward to release Luo Ge from his bonds.
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 had not been forced to do so, there was really no other way. My tribe and I were unwilling to fight against the Han. 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 subordinates were 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, and I ask you to think more about it."
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, a promise to God, and to myself. I treat them sincerely, and I believe 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 hard for him to persuade the rebellious people to give up their rebellion.
As expected by Liu Bei, Luo Ge worked very hard to fulfill his promise, implemented his promise, and put in great efforts and effort for Liu Bei to put down the rebellion.
On the way south from Hanchang County to Danqu County, they encountered three groups of rebel troops. Luo Ge took the lead, holding Liu Bei's flag and talking to the leaders of the rebels on behalf of Liu Bei.
He used emotion, reason, and 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 losing any blood.
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, talked with the rebel leaders in the city, and told 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.
