In the school field of Xia City, Hua Mulan and Zang Ba were duel, each holding a spear, and snowflakes were falling in the air.

Chu Tian watched the battle in person, with Li Guang and Xue Rengui standing behind him. In addition, there was also the Taishan thief Sun Guan.

Zang Ba always believed that he was attacked by Hua Mulan and became a prisoner. If he fought head-on, there was no way he would lose.

"Fight as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

Hua Mulan took the lead in launching an offensive, her red-tasseled spear trembled, a flash of bright red in the snowy sky, and she stabbed Zang Ba!

So fast!

Zang Ba gritted his teeth and tried to pick off Hua Mulan's spear.

The two people's marksmanship was fast and fast, and the flexible gun barrel made a whistling sound. The spear danced like a pear blossom in Hua Mulan's hands, piercing, stabbing, tart, attacking, wrapping, and circling. Zang Ba could only defend passively.

"Zang Ba's military strength is not very high. Why is my lord so determined to have him surrender?"

Li Guang always carried a big bow on his back, and he didn't quite understand Chu Tian's insistence on getting the allegiance of Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Chu Tian rolled his eyes. Li Guang's martial strength now reached 95, but not all generals have the same high martial arts as Li Guang.

With Li Guang's strength, it is normal to look down on Zang Ba.

But the more good generals there are, the better.

The extra generals can guard the city and serve as prefects or county magistrates.

Chu Tian was distracted for a while, Hua Mulan had defeated Zang Ba.

Chu Tian's order to her was to fight quickly, so this time Hua Mulan didn't give the opponent face like she was fighting Mi Fang in a duel, and directly defeated Zang Ba.

Zang Ba's red-tasseled spear was knocked away, and his face turned pale. He didn't expect that he would still be defeated in a head-on confrontation with Mulan.

"Now, are you convinced?"

Chu Tian persuaded Zang Ba to surrender for the third time.

Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and invited Zhuge Liang. Chu Tian invited the Taishan bandits three times.

Zang Ba finally understood the difference this time and was dejected: "I was defeated because of my lack of strength. I, Zang Ba, am willing to surrender."

Sun Guan saw that Zang Ba was finally willing to surrender to Chu Tian, ​​so he hurriedly paid homage together: "Sun Guan is willing to follow his elder brother and be loyal to the lord."

Chu Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally captured two Taishan bandit generals.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan contributed a lot to Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao in Hebei Province. They were able to serve as governors and governors, and they were very useful.

【Name】: Zang Ba

[Talent]:Diamond level general

[Level]:80

【Character】: chivalrous

【Characteristic 1】:Fight hard

【Feature 2】: Raid

[Special unit]: Taishan bandit

Zang Ba's ability is quite average. The special unit Taishan Bandits will definitely not be recruited. It is better to let Zang Ba command the ordinary infantry.

Chu Tian had many cavalry and archer generals under his command, but the infantry, which had the largest number, lacked generals.

The only infantry general currently available is Zhou Yafu.

No matter how powerful Zhou Yafu is, he is only one person. Chu Tian ordered him to garrison Yangdu County, so he would have no other infantry generals to use.

Zang Ba just fills this gap.

Then there is Sun Guan, who is one level worse than Zang Ba.

【Name】: Sun Guan

[Talent]: Platinum level general

[Level]:80

[Identity]: Wei Guo Xuzhou Governor, General Zhenwei

【Loyalty】:75

[Commander]: 72 [Force]: 75 [Intelligence]: 51 [Politics]: 39 [Charm]: 56

【Character】: chivalrous

【Feature 1】: Pioneer

[Characteristic 2]: Sacrifice your life

[Special unit]: Taishan bandit

Unexpectedly, the initial loyalty of the two Taishan thieves was relatively high, while Sun Guan's loyalty depended on Zang Ba.

Regarding the two Taishan thieves, Chutian did not plan to activate them directly, but would observe them for a period of time.

So Chu Tian made arrangements: "You will follow Xue Rengui to defeat the bandits during this period."

When Zang Ba and Sun Guan heard about Chu Tian's arrangements for them, they knew that this was a certificate of surrender.

If you want to integrate into Xia City's forces, you must first make contributions to Xia City.

Only by fighting hard can you gain Chutian's recognition.

"My elder brother Sun Kang has 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Dong'an County. The last general can go alone to persuade my brother to surrender."

At this time, Sun Guan provided Chu Tian with a tempting suggestion.

If other Taishan bandits can be recruited and surrendered through Zang Ba and Sun Guan, half of the counties in Langya Kingdom will fall into the hands of Chu Tian.

There is no need to subdue the Taishan thieves one by one...

This suggestion is very tempting.

But it's not without its shortcomings.

Fang Xuanling whispered to Chu Tian: "My lord, please listen to what I have to say. If the Taishan bandits are defeated, the Taishan bandits will be at my lord's disposal. If they surrender directly, it's okay that they are willing to give up the troops, horses and county they control.

If you don't want to, you won't be able to get rid of the big tail, and you will only surrender in name, but it will leave troubles in the end."

Chu Tian deeply agreed.

Historically, Cao Cao conquered Zang Ba and then persuaded all Taishan bandits to surrender.

However, the Taishan bandits only surrendered in name and are still entrenched in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Later, the Changxi Rebellion and the Taishan Bandit Rebellion occurred after Cao Cao's death.

What Chu Tian wants is to completely control all counties and make all Taishan bandits act according to his instructions, not just to make them surrender in name.

After making up his mind, Chu Tian said to Sun Guan: "Can you persuade Sun Kang to dismiss all the Taishan bandits, hand over all the territory, and come to Xia City alone?"

"This... the general is not sure..."

Sun Guan did not expect Chu Tian's appetite to be so big, and directly asked Sun Kang to hand over all his troops, horses and power.

Even if he is Sun Kang's brother, it is hard to say that he can let his brother come to surrender.

These Taishan bandit leaders each occupy the county seat and are equivalent to local emperors. It would be too difficult for them to suddenly give up this status.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan were willing to surrender because they had lost their territory.

"If you are not sure, then there is no need to try. Soon my army will wipe them out. By then, life or death will be uncertain."

Chu Tian put down his harsh words, which shocked Zang Ba and Sun Guan.

Chutian's sphere of influence is in the Langya Kingdom. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone more than one tiger in the Langya Kingdom.

The Taishan bandits of Langya Kingdom include Sun Kang, Yin Li, Wu Dun, as well as Langya Prime Ministers Xiao Jian and Wu Sangui of Ju County. In addition, there are hundreds of lords.

"You two can ask someone to send a letter to them. If they are willing to give up their troops, hand over the county seat to the officials of Xia City, and move to Xia City from then on, they will still have the opportunity to be reused in the future. Otherwise, if they attack the city, they will escape death."

"yes……"

Zang Ba and Sun Guan found themselves following a ruthless man.

Chu Tian did not accept nominal surrender. Only bandits who surrendered their territory and troops were considered good subordinates.

"No way, Zang Ba and Sun Guan have been subdued? Will the entire Taishan bandit force be subdued?"

"It must be the lords of Qingzhou, Xuzhou or Yanzhou who conquered them."

"No need to guess, it must have been me who just wanted to farm well, and it was him who captured Langya City where Zang Ba was entrenched."

The names of Zang Ba and Sun Guan appeared on the hero ranking list of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which shocked many lords, especially the lords of Langya Kingdom who knew what this meant.
