In Liu Cong's military camp, inside the Chinese army's tent, two brothers, Ma Liang and Ma Di, were begging Liu Cong to save and cure Zhou Peng.
Liu Cong comforted him and said: "Don't worry, I have asked the best medical officer in the army to see you."
Ma Liang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu. My brother and Liang will never be able to repay this kind of kindness. I am willing to follow you from now on. I hope Mr. Liu will accept you."
Liu Cong was so happy that he couldn't express his joy when he heard this: "Ji Chang, what are you talking about? Even if it weren't for you, I would save you when I'm in danger and help you when I'm weak."
"However, by chance, I got Ji Chang and You Chang, which makes me even more powerful. Not to mention accepting them, it is an honor for Cong to get them."
Ma Liang changed his words and said: "On the way along, after hearing the praise of my lord by the army officers and his recent performance, the two of us made up our minds to follow the lord."
Ma Su also said: "People's words are terrible. If the master is a dandy, all the talented people in the world should go and end it on their own."
"Hahaha!" Liu Cong burst out laughing after hearing this.
How could they know that Liu Cong had changed from a few months ago?
"Lord, Zhou Peng's bleeding has stopped and he is no longer seriously injured." As several people were talking, the medical officer came in to report.
"Haosheng, take care of me. Go down and receive the reward." Liu Cong nodded to indicate that he understood.
"No, thank you, Lord." The medical officer looked happy and withdrew.
"Commander Pang returns to camp!" A shout came from outside the tent.
Liu Cong stood up and said to the Ma brothers: "Let's go out and take a look."
"promise."
"Shi Yuan, what's going on?" Liu Cong led the Ma brothers outside the tent and saw Pang Tong and Xu Feng escorting more than ten people.
Pang Tong approached, raised his hand to Liu Cong and said: "My lord, we have captured twelve barbarians, together with three people from the Zhou family, a total of fifteen people. Eighteen of the enemy were killed, and there were no casualties in our army."
The three barbarians from the Zhou family were also brought back by the fifty people escorting Zhou Peng.
"Spare my brothers! I'll let you do whatever you want." Kun Yan suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly.
Xu Feng kicked him down, pulled out a knife and put it on his neck: "How dare you, do you, a barbarian, have the right to speak in front of my lord?"
"Kunyan?" Ma Liang and Ma Di recognized Kunyan by the light of the fire.
Liu Cong asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"
Ma Liang kowtowed and said: "My lord, it was this man who robbed us. Although this man is a barbarian, he is also upright, but he has a man with a hammer who is extremely cruel. If it weren't for him, we would all have died at the hands of the barbarians.
inside."
"My lord? Who is Ji Chang?" Pang Tong asked curiously at the side.
When Liu Cong heard Pang Tong's inquiry, he felt happy again: "Ji Chang and You Chang are one of our own now."
When Pang Tong heard this, a smile appeared on his dark face: "Congratulations, my lord, for getting another great talent."
After that, he said to the Ma brothers: "The one holding the hammer should be the barbarian from the Zhou family, called Shi Kui. I interrogated Kun Yan and heard from him that the man took it upon himself to go back and snatch the coffin."
After listening to this, Liu Cong thought for a while and said, "So, this Kun Yan is still a good man?"
Ma Liang nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Although this man is a little evil, he also has great righteousness. He was captured by the lord, but he still knows how to plead for his brother. Can the lord spare his life?"
Liu Cong walked up to Kun Yan and waved his hand, and Xu Feng put away the knife.
"Are you willing to serve me?" Liu Cong asked, staring at Kun Yan.
Kun Yan straightened up and knelt down, hitting his head on the ground: "Spare my brothers, my life will be yours from now on."
Liu Cong held his sword and reprimanded severely: "Your brothers killed and robbed. I cannot forgive them."
Kun Yan raised his head and prayed: "They followed me. They only robbed things, did not kill anyone, and did not rape women. All the evildoers were killed, and there were three others who went to Zhoujiazhuang. I don't know their whereabouts."
"The remaining brothers have no Han lives in their hands! Please forgive them, we are all willing to sacrifice our lives for you!" After that, he kowtowed his head to the ground again.
Liu Cong spoke again: "From now on, if I ask you to lead troops to destroy your tribe, how will you act?"
"I'm sorry, but I obey." Kun Yan raised his head and said.
"Qiang!" Liu Cong pulled out his sword, put it against his neck, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"The Han people say that death may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. I can die, but I cannot destroy my tribe just to live."
"Then does this count as your loyalty to me?"
"I can deal with other enemies for you, and you can also send others to attack my tribe. But, I can't!"
"Okay, okay." Liu Cong seemed to be extremely angry. He cut off the rope on Kun Yan with his sword. He turned around and said, "Xu Feng, he will be your deputy general from now on. Those barbarians will follow him."
"Change his Chinese name to Duan Kun, whose courtesy name is Tongzhou." Liu Cong suddenly turned around and said with a wicked smile.
Xu Feng kicked Duan Kun in the butt: "Why don't you thank my lord for giving you the name?"
"Thank you, lord, thank you, lord!" Duan Kun knelt down and knelt down, and more than a dozen barbarians behind him kowtowed with him.
Liu Cong said to Xu Feng again: "Shan Rong, you took it upon yourself to issue a military order for me. Go down and receive thirty lashes yourself. Do you accept it?"
Xu Feng looked ashamed and said: "My lord, I will finally surrender!"
"Tonight, all those who leave their posts without permission will receive fifty lashes."
"Youchang."
"exist."
"I need you to go to jail."
"promise!"
"Except those on duty, everyone should go down to sleep. Shi Kui and the other three will wait until Brother Zhou wakes up tomorrow and leave it to him to handle it personally."
"promise!"
At dawn, Duan Kun supported the limping Xu Feng, covered his buttocks, and walked to the supervisor Ma Su. He bowed gently: "Mr. Ma, I have finished my punishment. There is one thing I want to ask you, sir."
Ma Su stood up and returned the greeting: "General, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Xu Feng's face turned red and he said nervously: "I made a mistake today. Will the lord not reuse me in the future?"
When little people grow up, they are always cautious when facing big people, always with a little inferiority complex. They think that if they do something wrong, they will be remembered by their leaders.
Ma Di chuckled: "The general is the guard commander?"
"yes."
"My lord, will you accept your official position?"
"No."
"Then just go back and recuperate with peace of mind." Ma Su answered with a smile and sat back in the prison position again.
Xu Feng seemed to understand, but finally couldn't bear to ask again and walked to his tent.
"You will still be reused." Suddenly, Duan Kun beside him said.
Xu Feng looked at him sideways: "You know nothing."
Duan Kun said seriously: "The gentleman just said it very clearly. The lord did not relieve you of your post, which means that he only punished you slightly. Moreover, he also asked me to be your deputy general, which means that you will still be the guard commander in the future."
Xu Feng stopped, thought for a moment, and then said to Duan Kun with a happy face, "Do you have any skills?"
Duan Kun sighed: "My lord is the most knowledgeable."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Xu Feng mocked.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Besides, I'm older than you, so you can't call me kid. My lord named me Duan Kun, Duan Tongzhou!" Duan Kun retorted.
Xu Feng stepped forward again: "Yes, yes, you are so boring. Just like Ma Su just now, you only talk half the time and let people figure it out for the longest time."
Duan Kun said: "You should read more books."
Xu Feng said: "I read the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Duan Kun was speechless. However, Xu Feng didn't want the atmosphere to be cold and asked again: "Why did you surrender? I was still thinking about chopping off your head."
Yes, we were talking about it today.
Duan Kun explained: "My lord asked me to surrender."
Xu Feng was puzzled: "My lord asked you to surrender? Why?"
Duan Kun thought for a while and said, "Perhaps I am Jin Rixi in the eyes of the Lord."
"Jin Rixi? What does it mean? Jin Pimple?" Xu Feng once again performed what is called ignorance.
Duan Kun was helpless and continued to explain: "He is a minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He is not a Han, but a Huns."
"Oh, then you are not a Huns either?"
"Would you like to go to bed?" Duan Kun was completely speechless.
