Yuan Shizhong fled back to Mengcheng and counted the troops, and half of them did not come back.

At this time, he saw the red horses galloping outside the city, with a total of six or seven thousand, and he was secretly shocked.

If there are cavalry monitoring outside the city, then the infantry and relatives in the city will definitely not be able to take away.

If Yuan Shizhong wanted to run away, he could at most dozens of confidants who broke through the siege. Even the white-robed guards he was proud of would probably lose all their losses in the pursuit of the cavalry.

At that moment, Yuan Shizhong discussed with his subordinates and said, "I want to go to Shandong, where can the people suffer? Can we make a comeback!"

Many generals of the Little Yuan camp, but lowered their heads and did not speak. Military advisor Sun Hui said: "Now that he has just suffered a defeat, it is probably difficult for the soldiers to follow the general, abandon their families, and go to Shandong to accompany the general to make a comeback."

After hearing this, Yuan Shizhong knew that the situation was hopeless and felt sad.

Yuan Shizhong had some strategies and some insights into the affairs of the world.

Now Li Zicheng occupied Guanzhong, Gao Huan occupied Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, Zuo Liangyu occupied Wuchang, Ming Dynasty officials and gentry shrink to the southeast, and Jiannu is still eyeing him.

After more than ten years of melee, the pattern has emerged. It is probably these forces that will compete for the world in the future, and it is difficult for newcomers to develop.

This is like the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes died and the annexed were annexed, Yuan Shao dominated Hebei, Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains, and the Sun brothers occupied Jiangdong. The small forces were destroyed and surrendered, and they had lost the qualification to conquer the world.

Of course, Uncle Liu is an exception.

Yuan Shizhong knew that even if he escaped and arrived in Shandong, he probably had to be destroyed before he developed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, but was stopped by military advisor Sun Hui and others.

Yuan Shizhong and the generals of the little Yuanying hugged their heads and cried bitterly in the festival hall.

After a while, Yuan Shizhong said to everyone: "If everyone doesn't dislike me, just follow me to join Gao Huan. Although I, Yuan Shizhong, have limited abilities, I, can definitely protect you brothers' wealth!"

The Xiaoyuan Camp activity area is in Guide, and the territory is adjacent to Gao Huan. Knowing the situation on Gao Huan, he is naturally willing to do so.

That night, Yuan Shizhong fell out of the city and went to see Gao Huan alone to negotiate conditions.

In the big tent, Gao Huan looked at Yuan Shizhong who was carrying the thorns and apologizing, smiled, and stepped forward to help him up.

“Haha~”

"General Yuan can think clearly now, it's too late!"

Gao Huan personally untied the rope and rattan for Yuan Shizhong.

Seeing this, Yuan Shizhong felt a little calm, but thinking about the harsh words he had made before, he couldn't help feeling ashamed on his face.

"The governor can ignore past grudges. I am willing to lead the soldiers and civilians in Mengcheng County to join the governor." Yuan Shizhong made it straight to the point, "I just don't know how the governor plans to resettle the soldiers and family in the city?"

Yuan Shizhong fell from the city and stepped out and surrendered to the city, so there was naturally a need to negotiate conditions.

Gao Huan did not answer directly, but asked: "I want to know why General Yuan suddenly changed his attitude. I wonder if General Yuan can tell me?"

Yuan Shizhong said truthfully: "Today, my subordinates realized that they were just frogs in the well. In today's troubled times, my subordinates are in trouble, one is to make achievements, and the other is to strive for a way out for the elders of my hometown."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Continue!"

Yuan Shizhong's territory was with Gao Huan. He knew that Gao Huan had set up a military name in Henan and established a military government, and was ambitious, so he did not mention any words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

"If today, the pattern is successful. If you want to build something yourself, it is impossible, it is better to choose a master to assist you. The king and the master are also a master! The strength of the supervisor has made his subordinates admire him. He has also heard of the good policies he has done in the Central Plains and will definitely accomplish great things in the future. With the kindness of the supervisor, he will definitely treat the surrendered elders well, and his subordinates have also found a way out for them."

Yuan Shizhong looked at Gao Huan and said sincerely: "Today, my subordinates surrendered to the governor, and I hope that their achievements will be achieved. The people also have a way of life. These two are the reasons why my subordinates surrendered to the generals!"

Gao Huan nodded heavily. Yuan Shizhong was worthy of being the rising star of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng was so afraid of those who needed to be killed, and his knowledge exceeded that of ordinary rebel leaders.

If trained slightly, this person can become a handsome man under his command.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan immediately took off his robe, put it on the shirtless Yuan Shizhong, and then solemnly promised: "General Yuan, the soldiers and relatives of the little Yuan camp surrendered to this governor, and this governor will definitely lead you to build a foundation!"

It was indeed a bit embarrassing and shameful when he was bare-handed. Yuan Shizhong saw Gao Huan put on a robe for him and knew his words, which moved Gao Huan.

"I thanked the governor!"

Gao Huan waved his hand and continued, "After Xiao Yuanying surrendered to our governor, our governor will select elite troops, pick out a group of troops, and form a town with Zuo Ge's surrendered army. The number of troops is 30,000, and you will still be in charge."

Yuan Shizhong was a little surprised when he heard that Gao Huan asked him to command 30,000 people. He didn't expect Gao Huan to believe him so much.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "The soldiers of Xiao Yuan camp who were selected and organized into the Zhongwu Army were treated the same as those of the tribes and were given land. If the soldiers who were not selected and their relatives were still placed in the place, they would be rented for public land, and the tax rate would be the same as those of the people in the Central Plains! Are you satisfied with such conditions?"

Yuan Shizhong quickly knelt on one knee and said movedly: "I am the soldiers and relatives of the subordinates, thank the governor for his kindness!"

"Hahaha"

Gao Huan laughed and helped him up, then looked at the prisoners who were stunned by the situation in front of him.

Liu Heizi, Li Taizhen and other generals couldn't help but feel confused on their faces, and they didn't know what to do if they changed.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "How are you thinking about it, several generals?"

Yuan Shizhong has always treated his subordinates well. Several generals originally planned to fight Gao Huan to the end, but Yuan Shizhong surrendered.

Several people looked at each other, and Li Taizhen knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to surrender!"

Several people knelt down one by one to express their surrender. In the end, only Liu Heizi was left with a blushing face and was still standing there.

Although Liu Heizi is only a mining background, he is quite honest and has good face. His words are always spitting and nailing.

He had just spoken and was beaten to death and was about to die to repay Yuan Shizhong, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shizhong would kneel in front of him.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gao Huan suddenly laughed, came forward, and took the initiative to loosen up Liu Heizi, "General Liu, please follow me in the future and be a personal guard camp lieutenant!"

Liu Heizi couldn't help but be moved. He was not a fool. Gao Huan gave him a step. He was about to kneel down at that time, but Gao Huan was helping him. "General Liu doesn't have to be too polite."

Liu Heizi said: "Thank you for your cultivation, and you will say something about the sword from now on!"

Gao Huan likes such a honest man, nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Yuan Shizhong and said, "General Yuan, don't be reluctant to let go! I see General Liu is good, so let him come to my military camp!"

Liu Heizi was a general of Yuan Shizhong. He was reluctant to leave when Gao Huan wanted to go, but he immediately laughed and said, "The Governor is joking! Now Hei Tan and I are both your subordinates of the Governor, and you can always follow the Governor's arrangements!"

Gao Huan laughed and Xiao Yuanying changed his surname to Gao.
