A young scholar and a young military officer escorted a twenty-year-old young man with a stern face as they entered.

The young master's eyes, sharp as blades, made everyone present afraid to look him in the eye.

Although there were only three of them, they exuded a domineering aura that seemed to look down on everyone else.

Everyone turned around, shocked, confused, disdainful, and delighted!

Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, and Du Chang hurriedly came over to pay their respects.

However, Liu Wei waved his hand to tell them not to speak, and then looked at Tian Kai.

Tian Kai immediately cleared his throat:

“You are all Zhang Feiyan’s sworn brothers. To be among those invited by him, you must be people of loyalty and righteousness.”

"Since that's the case, then on behalf of our lord, I'll speak frankly!"

"Zhang Feiyan and her troops have been recruited by us and reorganized into three thousand elite soldiers to follow us to Youzhou to fight the enemy!"

"As for the rest of the people, we will give them land in Youzhou, along with farming tools, wheat seeds, and oxen, ensuring they have land to cultivate and food to eat."

"We invited you here in the hope that you will accept our reorganization."

"We guarantee that you will be given official positions and the opportunity to lead troops. You will be rewarded for your meritorious service, and the rest of the people will enjoy the same treatment as Zhang Feiyan!"

As soon as Tian Kai finished speaking, a roar erupted in the tent.

Before they could speak, Liu Wei coldly demanded:

"What Clerk Tian said is exactly what I meant, and I have made myself perfectly clear!"

Who's in favor? Who's opposed?

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he coldly surveyed the entire room.

Everyone was shocked; it turned out that Zhang Yan had already defected to the imperial court.

He deliberately summoned these leaders to Zhending by promising to distribute money, grain, and land. Wasn't that betraying them?

"You, Zhang Yan, how dare you deceive us?"

"And you three, what are you? How dare you come here and make such a racket? Do you want to test the sharpness of my broadsword?"

"I object! I'll not only be the first to object, but I'll also kill you all!"

Upon hearing Liu Wei's words and seeing how young Liu Wei and his three companions were, Lei Gong immediately jumped out and reprimanded them.

Pfft!

Suddenly, Zhao Yun, who was next to Liu Wei, made a move and thrust his spear at Lei Gong.

On the way here, he received Liu Wei's order: if Liu Wei said this, the first person to object should be killed!

This was a swift and decisive move to intimidate and incorporate the leaders of the Black Mountain Army.

This shot was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder.

Before Lei Gong could even draw his sword, Zhao Yun's spear pierced his chest and emerged from his back.

Blood was gushing from the blood groove at the tip of the gun.

Because he hadn't yet drawn his spear, Lei Gong still had his last breath and wasn't dead.

He never expected that the other party would attack without warning, completely disregarding the fact that he had 10,000 soldiers under his command.

"Who...who are you people?" Lei Gong stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly at Liu Wei.

"This is the current prince of the Han Dynasty, the Prince of Yunzhong, and the General Who Guards the North!"

"For your rudeness just now, you are doomed to die."

While the others were still in a state of panic, Zhang Yan pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, declaring loudly, "From now on, there will be no more Black Mountain Army, and no more Commander Zhang!"

"I am merely a captain under the command of the King of Clouds."

"I urge everyone to accept the prince's offer of amnesty and share in the riches and glory!"

Just as I thought!

Lei Gong looked miserable, while the other nine looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

At this moment, Liu Wei flicked his finger, and Zhao Yun suddenly drew his spear, causing Lei Gong's massive body to crash to the ground.

Throughout, his eyes remained wide open, filled with resentment.

With Lei Gong dead, fear filled the faces of the other nine people.

This young general wielding a long spear is not only a ruthless character, but also a capable one.

That shot, which was fired suddenly just now, was not exactly earth-shattering, but it was incredibly swift.

These bandit leaders, with their mediocre skills, even if they all attacked together, they might not be a match for him.

Moreover, Zhang Yan, Zhang Baiqi, and Du Chang were also in the main tent.

Since Zhang Yan has betrayed them, they will not hesitate to turn their swords against her if they dare to make a move.

The nine men and their more than 20,000 followers were all feasting and drinking outside, completely unaware of what was happening in the main tent.

Moreover, since Liu Wei and his two companions came in and immediately wanted to recruit and incorporate them into their ranks, the area outside the tent must have already been completely surrounded by them.

These leaders, aside from obeying, would meet the same fate as Lei Gong if they dared to rebel.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had stunned the scene with a single spear thrust, Tian Kai immediately shouted:

"Who else?!"

"Your Highness, I, Qingniujiao, am willing to accept Your Highness's offer of amnesty!"

The Green Ox Horn Army only numbered two thousand, and they had just witnessed their enemy, Lei Gong, being stabbed to death. It was a great relief!

He immediately stepped forward, bowed to Liu Wei, and said loudly.

"Very good! Then I will appoint you as a captain, with five hundred soldiers under the command of Zhang Yan."

Liu Wei was generous in offering official positions to the first person to accept the imperial pardon.

For someone like Qing Niujiao, giving him the title of Marquis of Qu is already giving him too much credit!

When Zhang Yan was drafting the list of invitees, he reported the situation of these ten leaders to Liu Wei.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Your subordinate will go through fire and water for you."

Qing Niujiao knew his own abilities, and when he heard Liu Wei appoint him as a captain, he immediately expressed his loyalty loudly and excitedly.

At this moment, in the military ranks of the Han Dynasty, the Grand General is equivalent to the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, while the General of the Flying Cavalry, the General of the Chariots and Cavalry, and the General of the Guards are equivalent to the Chief of the General Staff and the Director of the Political Department, respectively.

The title of "General of Four Expeditions and Four Garrisons" is equivalent to that of an army group commander or a military region commander.

The Lieutenant General is the commander of a division!

A captain is a regimental commander.

A captain is equivalent to a battalion commander!

This is a mid-level officer in the Han army; Qing Niujiao is already content.

Once Qing Niujiao made his stance clear, the others immediately understood the situation and bowed down in submission!

"Yang Feng, Yu Digen, Sui Gu, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Liu Shi, Zuo Zizhangba, and Ping Han are all appointed as Commandants!"

"The 40,000 Black Mountain troops were reorganized into the Taiyue Army Corps, with a quota of 6,000 men, including 1,000 cavalry, and were directly under the command of the General of the North."

"Zhang Yan commands Qing Niujiao, Yu Digen, and Guo Daxian! He leads one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry as the central army of the Taiyue Army!"

"Zhang Baiqi is in charge of Yang Feng, Sui Gu, and Zuo Xiao! He leads two thousand infantrymen as the left wing of the Taiyue Army Group."

"Du Chang is in charge of Liu Shi, Zuo Zizhangba, and Ping Han! He leads 2,000 infantrymen as the right wing of the Taiyue Army Group."

Immediately, Liu Wei instructed Zhang Yan to summon all of Lei Gong's confidants under the pretense of Lei Gong's orders, and then have Zhang Yan and the others kill them on the spot.

Without hesitation, the crowd raised their knives and slaughtered over a hundred of Lei Gong's confidants.

After killing Lei Gong's men, these Black Mountain Army leaders could never return home except to serve Liu Wei.

With these trusted confidants dead, the remaining ordinary soldiers lost their leader and could only wait for orders from others.

"Registrar Tian and Colonel Zhao, you two will assist Zhang Yan and the others in reorganizing the troops!"

"Three days from now, the entire army will depart for Youzhou!"

"Here you go!"

Tian Kai, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Yan all agreed in unison.
