Chapter 534: Subjugating Zhang Ren, the "Fence-Sitter"

After listening to Liu Qi's report, Gu Rubing simply handed over all the defense arrangements to Zhuge Liang. With such a legendary counselor who is unique in the world beside him, it is a waste of energy to show off his little knowledge. It is better to do more. Focus on other things.

For example, let's take a look at the military commander Pound who has left a mark in history. What attributes will he gain after being promoted to a famous general?

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing's mind moved, and Pound's panel opened in front of Gu Rubing.

Pang De's attributes can be said to be all-round, which is very consistent with his position as a strong man with all aspects. Among them, his movement speed is the most eye-catching. Among Gu Rubing's current subordinates, except for Zhang Fei, probably only Only Pound.

After Zhang Fei was promoted to a legendary general, he was obviously no longer suitable for surprise attack tactics. Originally, Gu Rubing was still worried. No one could handle this part. Now that Pang De has been promoted to a famous general, he has once again gained a movement speed bonus. , took advantage of the opportunity to make up for this shortcoming, allowing them to once again have the ability to carry out long-distance raids.

After Gu Rubing browsed through it carefully, they had arrived at the place where Ma Chao and Zhang He were being treated. Since Ma Chao was more seriously injured and Zhang He was still conscious, Ma Chao, whom Hua Tuo had given priority to treat, had the door of the room closed at the moment and could not let go. People enter to ensure the smoothness and safety of the treatment.

Gu Rubing could only go to Zhang He's room.

Zhang He was half sitting on the bed studying the art of war. When he saw Gu Rubing getting up, he quickly wanted to get up to greet him, but his injured legs and feet were not very agile. Gu Rubing stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, and Gu Rubing smiled faintly.

"You don't have to get up, Junyi. I just came to see you. I'm relieved that you're okay."

"I will miss you more, my lord."

Zhang He stopped struggling and stood up. He had a penetrating wound in his leg, which is why he couldn't get off the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work in this battle, Junyi."

Gu Rubing patted Zhang He's shoulder again. He also valued this Confucian general who had followed him for a long time. Zhang He, who was ranked among the five good generals, was destined to achieve great things. From this stop, it can be seen that Zhang He is worthy of his reputation and is indeed very capable.

"My lord, you are too polite. It is my duty to help you solve your problems."

"Okay, Junyi, you take a rest first. The doctor is treating Mengqi. I will come to treat your injuries when he is done there."

"Thank you, my lord."

Gu Rubing left with Pang De and Taishi Ci, and temporarily took two thousand Yanyun Eighteen Riders who had just completed their establishment to the military town where Zhang Ren was. At that time, even if Zhang Ren made any unusual moves, they could easily suppress him.

Gu Rubing was somewhat cautious about this kind of active request for surrender. If it was really as Zhang Ren and Pang De expressed, it would not matter. It was still good to have the spear king of the West under his command. After all, he was Zhang Xiu's junior brother and Zhao Yun's senior brother. No matter what, he would not be a fool.

If Zhang Ren was pretending to surrender, it would not matter. With the two famous generals Taishi Ci and Pang De around him, plus the two thousand Yanyun Eighteen Riders who were at least second-rate generals, it would not be a problem to destroy Zhang Ren and his thousands of people in a minute.

So Gu Rubing would definitely be happy to make this trip, since he would not lose money anyway.

The military town was not far from the county town of Nanjun, but it had only one disadvantage, that was it was too small. It was really too small. People who didn't know would think it was a larger market town. Moreover, there was not even a city wall. There was only a section of stones piled up to the west, which served as a stone wall.

This is also the reason why this military town is so close, but no one wants to occupy it. After all, what is the point of occupying such a military town with no city, not much manpower, and not much stuff? Keep it for fun?

At this moment, Zhang Ren is stationed here with more than 3,000 people under his command. Among them, some people did not have time to withdraw with Zhang Ren at that time. After the war, they learned that some of the people who escaped and ran out of Zhang Ren were Zhang Ren’s confidants, or developed by his confidants. Zhang Ren completely trusted them.

When Gu Rubing and his men arrived at the military town, Zhang Ren was waiting at the gate of the military town early.

It’s better to say that it’s a sign made of two pieces of wood than a gate.

“Meet King Lie.”

Gu Rubing hadn’t dismounted yet, and there was a distance between them. Zhang Ren walked forward quickly, clasped his hands and bowed to salute.

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person, and Zhang Ren might still surrender to him, so Gu Rubing naturally wouldn’t put on airs and dismounted immediately.

"I have heard of the name of the Western Spear King for a long time, and today I finally met him."

When Gu Rubing said this, Zhang Ren smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have never had any reputation before. How could Your Majesty have heard of me for a long time?"

This made Gu Rubing stunned. He did not expect Zhang Ren to be so open-minded and directly expose the polite words in front of him. However, what Zhang Ren did not know was that Gu Rubing was not just a polite word. He was really interested in this Western Spear King who had only a few records in history.

"Oh? So what do you mean? I am lying?"

"I dare not."

Zhang Ren said, lowering his head even deeper.

Gu Rubing walked slowly towards Zhang Ren, and Taishi Ci and Pang De followed behind him, so that even if Zhang Ren suddenly jumped up, the two of them could stop him.

"Tell me, why do you want to surrender to me?"

"Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Let's hear the truth first."

Gu Rubing's eyes were more interested. If he hadn't been sure that Zhang Ren couldn't be a player, Gu Rubing might have mistaken Zhang Ren for a player based on these two sentences. After all, his speaking style didn't seem like someone from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Because I couldn't beat General Pang. If I had beaten General Pang, I would have been drinking in Cao Cao's camp and being treated as a guest of honor by Cao Cao."

"Hahaha, okay, what about the lie?"

"The lie is that I want to follow a more promising lord. Liu Zhang has no ambition and has surrendered to Cao Cao. If I continue to serve Liu Zhang, I will definitely become Cao Cao's vanguard. If I surrender to Your Highness, I should have a better future."

"Are they all true?"

Zhang Ren looked at Gu Rubing with a hint of surprise, but he didn't respond to Gu Rubing's question. The two continued to talk about this and that. Finally, Gu Rubing turned his head to look at Zhang Ren who was standing there.

"I have one last question. If one day Cao Cao defeats me and captures you, what will you do?"

"Then I will betray you without hesitation in exchange for my own chance of survival, and then find a way to make myself a guest of Cao Cao."

"Hahaha, can I understand your behavior as a fence-sitter?"

"Yes."

"Okay, now that you have finished talking about your conditions, it's time for me to talk about it. Next, there will be a big battle in Nanjun, Jingzhou. We will face an enemy that is several times larger than us, and both the upper and lower combat power are not weaker than us. Do you still want to continue to rely on me?"

After listening to this, Zhang Ren saluted again without any hesitation.

"I am willing to serve you, my lord!"

"Okay!"

After hearing Zhang Ren's agreement, Gu Rubing also did not hesitate.

This scene not only stunned Taishi Ci and Pang De standing behind Gu Rubing, but also stunned the netizens in the live broadcast room.

"Did Liu Caoxie get kicked in the head by a donkey? What Zhang Ren said shows that he is just a fence-sitter. Why did he accept him?"

"Yes, what's the situation? Isn't it obvious that he is just a needle? Why did he let him join?"

""In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Liu Caoxie did. When judging a person, we should not look at what he says, but what he does. People like Zhang Ren who always talk about betrayal usually don't betray. ””

“Over-interpretation, how do you explain his betrayal of Liu Zhang?”

“Dude, you are not a fan of Liu Zhang, right? Don’t you know how Liu Zhang treats Zhang Ren? To be honest, Zhang Ren has done his best by not stabbing Liu Zhang to death.”

“It doesn’t matter. With Second Master Guan and Third Master Zhang around, Zhang Ren can’t cause any trouble.”

The live broadcast room was filled with comments, and netizens were basically divided into two factions. One group thought that Gu Rubing should have killed Zhang Ren directly and not left this time bomb for himself, while the other group of netizens thought that those who often talk about betrayal are usually tough guys who will never betray. They were just frustrated under Liu Zhang before, so they switched to others.

However, Gu Rubing had no way of knowing their opinions. He decided to subdue Zhang Ren. He was also considering the same thing as the other group of netizens. In addition, he had lived three lives, so he was more familiar with human nature, especially since he had been in the workplace for the first two lives, and he had a deep understanding of it.

So he accepted Zhang Ren not on impulse, but after careful consideration. Such a famous general, and there is a possibility that he is a hidden SSR general. Even if there are other purposes, Gu Rubing is ready to take a gamble and see if he can make this Western Spear King work for him.

He failed to find the Spear Immortal Zhang Xiu, but he gathered Zhang Xiu's two junior brothers. If he took Zhang Xiu under his command, wouldn't it be the same as gathering the three disciples of Tong Yuan? Maybe there will be some bond between the brothers at that time, and it can also enhance Zhao Yun's strength.

You know, Zhao Yun is a genuine SSR general card. One Lu and two Zhao are not just a joke. It's just that Zhao Yun followed him later, otherwise he would be a legendary general now.

Moreover, even though Zhao Yun is only a famous general now, with the addition of his various characteristics, his strength is not weaker than that of a legendary general. Even if he cannot win, he can temporarily block the opponent. As for famous generals, Gu Rubing can say responsibly that Zhao Yun is invincible under the legendary generals.
