    Zhang Huanghu looked at Xu Xirong carefully again and asked, "What's your last name?"

    Xu Xirong didn't know if he really didn't know or if he didn't know, but he still replied calmly: "My surname is Xu, and my name is childish."

    "Xu Zhigong?" Zhang Huanghu said, "The lonely king is not used to pronouncing names. Xu Xirong, I see that you are very courageous. I wonder if you can conspire with the lonely king for great things?"

    Xu Xirong didn't speak.

    "Xu Xirong, since you know the past of the lonely king, you should know that the reason why the lonely king rose was because the court failed me. Moreover, the thief emperor in the court today is ignorant, the eunuchs are in charge, and the officials and officials only know how to play tricks."  Money has caused anger and resentment among the people, and the people have lost their lives. I think you might as well follow me and do a heroic deed. In the future, you will inevitably break the borders and seal your wife and children. What do you think?"

    After hearing Zhang Huanghu's words, Xu Xirong said sternly: "The general's words are wrong. The so-called 'eating the king's salary a day, repaying the king's favor for a lifetime', I heard that you, general, were recruited by the court and returned to Xiong Shangshu's family.  The general is not weak. The imperial court is in crisis. There are Liao captives in the north and trespassers between the elbows and armpits. The position of the general is very important. Whoever helps wins.  Then the credit is no less than that of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who were in the chaos of the Ping An History, and it is not beautiful to leave a name in the history of later generations, which is glorious in history? With the general's wisdom and martial arts, he will surely be able to make this immortal feat. From the bottom of my heart, I plan for the general.  Follow the good and comfort others!"

    Xu Xirong mentioned that Zhang Huanghu was recruited by the court, but it did happen.  However, that cannot be regarded as his sincere attachment to the imperial court.

    At that time, the officers and soldiers were very powerful, and all the gangsters who rebelled with him were defeated by the officers and soldiers. Even Li Wuke was forced to flee into the mountains with only a few hundred confidants, and he was almost devastated.

    Seeing that everyone had surrendered to the officers and soldiers, Zhang Huanghu had the idea of ??surrendering for the time being.  He learned that his benefactor, Tian Chengyuan, was serving as the commander-in-chief under Xiong Luan, Minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of recruiting bandits, so he sent his adopted son Hu Zhongjin to visit him with gold and jewelry, and begged him to tell Xiong Luan  Xiong Luan was unwilling to fight the rogues and advocated appeasement, so he naturally agreed happily.

    At that time, Zhang Huanghu had a young general surnamed Yu, who was the nephew of Yu Jiawang, the chief minister of the court. He sent him to the capital to bribe him with treasures, and bribed the high officials of the court through him.  They all praised Zhang Huanghu.

    Zhang Huanghu then surrendered to the court.  However, his surrender was just a show, and he did not obey the court's orders at all.  But Xiong Lu secretly got bribes from Zhang Huanghu, and wanted to get more bribes from him, so he was very tolerant to him, not only allocated him a city defense station, but also asked the court for payment for his army.  This is what Xu Xirong said that the court treated Zhang Huanghu well.

    But where is the court's salary enough?  So Zhang Huanghu's soldiers inevitably plundered and looted the local area, causing troubles. Every time at this time, Xiong Luan supported the army and wronged the people, resulting in many people fleeing.

    So some officials wrote to Zhang Huanghu that he didn't really surrender, and asked to be exterminated.  Zhang Huanghu and his subordinates were naturally uneasy when they heard the news.  At that time, there happened to be another fortune teller, who told Zhang Huanghu that he was extremely valuable and fulfilled the destiny, so he had the heart to rebel again.

    At that time, he had two confidant advisers, Wu Yigui and Xu Qiyan, who were very conspiratorial and wise, especially Xu Qiyan, who taught Zhang Huanghu the art of war and how to make various weapons.  These two people have great ambitions, and they both want to follow Zhang Huanghu to conquer the world, so they also try their best to persuade him to rebel.

    Zhang Huanghu's surrender was originally a tactic to delay troops, and at that time other rogue teams who surrendered to the officers and soldiers also rebelled one after another because they were worried that the court would wipe them out. Zhang Huanghu also killed officials and attacked the city, and rebelled again.

    Before the rebellion, Zhang Huanghu wrote down the names, amount and date of all the officials who accepted bribes from him on a wall of the former garrison barracks.  Among all the local officials, including those sent by the imperial court, only one official did not accept his bribe.

    Therefore, Zhang Huanghu couldn't help but sneered when he heard Xu Xirong's words at this moment: "Xu Xirong, the so-called 'those who achieve great things don't care about small details', there is a saying in the art of war that 'soldiers are deceitful', and it is also said that 'soldiers never tire of deceit'. False surrender is the art of war.  As it has already been, the lonely king and the imperial court have long been at odds. Being recruited by it is just a way to slow down the troops, and those corrupt officials of the imperial court are only coveting my bribe. Do they want me to do meritorious service for the imperial court or serve the country loyally? Xu Xirong, today  This imperial court is rotten to the bottom, there is no way to save it, I advise you not to be obsessed with it, and to serve it to death, if you are willing to join my command, you can still be regarded as the chief general of one side."

    After hearing Zhang Huanghu's words, Xu Xirong knew that what he said was not true.Wrong, the current imperial court is indeed corrupt and decaying, and the building is about to collapse, but he really can't accept it if he is asked to join the bandits, so he said: "The general's angry words are not for nothing, but I am a childish enlightenment, reading the books of sages  , I know that a son cannot disobey his father's order, and a courtier cannot be disloyal to the emperor. It is just that civil servants die because of admonishment, and military officials die in battle. You must never be disloyal or filial.  General, you still have to think twice, so as not to be ashamed in the history and leave a bad smell forever."

    Seeing his sarcasm and stubbornness, Zhang Huanghu couldn't help being furious in his heart, and shouted: "You sour scholar, you have read a few books of Zhu Zi and universities, you can give a few high-level lectures, and you have bad stereotypes, so you think you know everything.  The great principles of the world, you can plead for the world, now the lonely king has his destiny, you don¡¯t come to plead, but stick to that rotten court that has lost its destiny, willing to be its slave, and talk about loyalty and filial piety,  I think you are so stupid that you are reading poetry and books in vain, come on, push it down with me, and you will be rewarded!"

    Zhang Zhiyou always held a grudge against Xu Xirong for arresting him, and hated him to the bone. Just now, he saw that Zhang Huanghu wanted to let him join, so he didn't dare to make a mistake. Now he heard that Zhang Huanghu wanted to kill him, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to push him away.  Go out and behead.

    The soldiers listened to him and Zhang Huanghu talking a lot of things they didn't understand, and they were already impatient. Besides, everyone was bullied by the government and had to become rogues.  Talk about being loyal to the imperial court, and hate him even more. Now that he got Zhang Huanghu's order, how could he use Zhang Zhiyou to speak, and immediately came up and dragged him out.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
