"Dalan, what are you doing? Why have you betrayed the King?"

Upon seeing the Dalan standing behind Dong Zhuo, one of the barbarian soldiers couldn't help but question them.

"This isn't betrayal. We just want to eat our fill, we just want to live a good life, but..."

As he spoke, Dalan pointed at Qin Lin and said loudly, "But he accepted the rebel army of the Han Dynasty for his own selfish reasons and became an enemy of the Han Dynasty. If this continues, we will starve to death sooner or later!"

Do you also want yourselves and your families to be buried with such a heartless king who doesn't care about our lives?

"this....."

Although Dalan didn't say much, he silenced all the barbarian soldiers.

Because what he said was true. Before the Han rebels came, they could still get some food from the Han, but now they were on the verge of starvation, and even their family members left in the tribe were missing.

Upon seeing this, Dong Zhuo immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Brothers, His Majesty has always regarded you as subjects of the Han Dynasty, but you are determined to follow your king and oppose the Han Dynasty."

But His Majesty is merciful; not only has he never thought of blaming you, but he is also willing to help you leave the mountains, allocate land to you, and relieve you of hunger. Why are you still so stubborn?

Upon hearing this, the surrounding barbarian soldiers exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of hesitation, seemingly not quite believing Dong Zhuo's words.

Seeing this, Dalan immediately had someone bring out the leftover food from last night, and then shouted loudly:

"Brothers, look, this is the food the Han army brought us last night. As long as we follow the Han army, we will not only be able to eat our fill, but we can also bring our families from the tribes to the Han court and live a peaceful life..."

Looking at the flatbreads and dried meat, even the long-starved barbarian soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard.

Seeing this, Darlan shouted again, "Brothers, those who want to come with us, come over now!"

"I'll go with you!"

A starving barbarian soldier stepped out from the crowd.

Dalan picked up a piece of flatbread and handed it to him: "Take this first. If it's not enough, we can eat more when we go to town later!"

"Thank you!!"

The barbarian soldier nodded excitedly, grabbed a flatbread, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Those around them couldn't help but purse their lips upon seeing this.

"I'll go with you too!"

"I'm going too!"

The starving barbarian soldiers, disregarding everything else, surrendered one after another.

When a person is extremely hungry, they won't think about anything except eating their fill!

Soon, tempted by the food, all the barbarian soldiers followed Dong Zhuo out of the camp and surrendered to the Han army.

"Fengxian was indeed prescient; we never expected Zhongying to bring us such a wonderful surprise!"

Looking at Dong Zhuo leading his barbarian troops, Gao Shun couldn't help but admire him.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Zhongying was able to earn the respect of the Qiang people back then, which naturally meant he had his own unique abilities!"

As the two were talking, Dong Zhuo had already led his men to approach.

Upon seeing Lü Bu on horseback, Dong Zhuo immediately feigned anger and said, "You, Lü Fengxian, I treated you so well back then, how could you bear to leave me in the enemy camp?"

Lu Bu curled his lip, "If it weren't for this, could you have made such a great contribution?"

You single-handedly captured the enemy king and numerous leaders, and without shedding a drop of blood, forced tens of thousands of enemy soldiers to surrender. This achievement is enough to earn you a title of nobility!

"Haha~, no problem, no problem!"

Upon hearing Lü Bu's words, Dong Zhuo's anger vanished instantly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

After exchanging pleasantries, the barbarian soldiers who had come with Dong Zhuo set up camp outside Quanling City under the arrangement of the Han army, and transported a large amount of food from the city to start cooking.

Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air, and the barbarian soldiers, watching the steam rising from the pot and smelling the enticing fragrance, were overjoyed.

While these barbarian soldiers were eating, the local officials also sent instructors from the military and political departments to begin ideological reform of them.

The long-awaited feeling of fullness, coupled with the policies explained by the instructors, greatly appealed to these barbarian soldiers.

On the other side, the eight thousand rebel soldiers who followed Sun Sheng surrendered after learning that Sun Sheng had been captured, except for a few who escaped.

Lu Bu showed no mercy to these rebels, enslaving them all and sending them to Yangzhou to dig canals.

After settling the barbarian soldiers, Lü Bu ordered his men to bring Qin Lin and the leaders to the government office.

"General Lü, how is my son?"

After being released, Qin Lin eagerly inquired about his son's condition.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Not bad, he's doing quite well here with us!"

Before long, Qin Qing followed two soldiers into the hall. When he saw Qin Lin and the leaders standing there, his expression changed and he quickly went over to them.

"Father, why are you here too...?"

"Sigh... it's a long story..."

Seeing that his son was alright, Qin Lin felt relieved but couldn't help but sigh softly before recounting the events in detail.

After listening, Qin Qing couldn't help but advise, "Father, the Han have been very good to our people. You should surrender!"

During the days that Qin Qing was imprisoned, Lü Bu not only did not mistreat him, but also treated him to good wine and food, and sent instructors from the Military and Political Affairs Department to talk to him every day.

After several days of ideological reform, Qin Qing now yearns for the life of the Han Dynasty.
