The Red Turban Army agreed to the Democratic League's proposal without even thinking twice.
Soon, a delegation of more than 20 people was sent to Luzhou.
Zhao Hao came out personally and received them with the highest etiquette.
Then he held a grand banquet, which showed that he was humble to the core.
This was very useful to the Red Turban Army's envoys, and the crowd, who had been a little nervous, were no longer nervous at once.
Not only was he not nervous, but he gradually became more arrogant.
After the reception, it was time for negotiations. The Red Turban Army continued to be arrogant and put forward many overbearing conditions to the Democratic League Army.
In order to delay time, the Democratic Alliance Army refuted each point one by one.
However, the refutation was not so thorough.
It’s mainly about delaying time.
And so it dragged on until mid-March.
In the end, the Red Turban Army delegation completely lost their patience, waved their hands, stopped the negotiations, and returned.
However, before they left Luzhou, major changes occurred within the Red Turban Army.
Two of the three leaders, the first leader Zhu Yunzhang and the second leader Zhang Shicheng, were killed by the rebels.
Only one of the three leaders, Chen Yuliang, was left.
As a result, the soldiers under the first and second leaders were dissatisfied.
They all said that it was the third leader, Chen Yuliang, who sent people to kill the first and second leaders.
Then they gathered troops and attacked the third leader Chen Yuliang.
For a while, there was chaos within the Red Turban Army.
The 20,000 troops in Baizhou immediately returned to Suzhou and fought with Chen Yuliang's army.
This chaos started at the end of March and lasted for more than half a month.
Chen Yuliang finally put down the rebellion.
However, he only had less than 20,000 troops left under his command.
The Red Turban Army suffered heavy losses. At this time, Zhao Hao led 20,000 new Minmeng troops and the 10,000 old troops, a total of 30,000 troops, crossed Baizhou and attacked Suzhou directly.
This battle did not give the Red Turban Army any chance. With 30,000 men against more than 15,000 men, and with the bonus of thunder bombs, Chen Yuliang was captured alive in one fell swoop.
However, this kid Chen Yuliang did indeed exceed Zhao Hao's expectations.
Because, even if there are not enough troops, even if there are no killing weapons like the thunder bomb.
However, when outnumbered, they still caused Zhao Hao considerable trouble.
Zhao Hao also lost nearly 5,000 of his 30,000 troops.
Even if he had green hands who had never seen blood, the loss shouldn't have been so great.
Moreover, this Chen Yuliang is still very young, and is less than 30 years old.
After being captured alive, he was escorted to Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao took a look and found that the man was very thin and there was nothing special about his appearance.
However, those eyes were extremely bright and sharp.
Zhao Hao was attracted by his talent at first sight.
But he didn't show it.
Instead, he asked calmly, "I want to take you in now and use you for my own purposes. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuliang snorted and said angrily, "Don't dream. You used a trick to kill my eldest brother and second brother. How can I surrender to you?"
This statement surprised Zhao Hao again.
"Do you know that your internal turmoil was my plan?"
Chen Yuliang curled his lips and said, "It's so obvious that it can only be hidden from a fool, how can it be hidden from me, Chen Yuliang?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Then tell me in detail."
Chen Yuliang said, "From the very beginning, when you sent me the letter, you had already made a plan."
"First, you used the peace letter to make my elder and second brothers proud, so that they looked down on you, and then delayed and weakened our fighting spirit."
"After the negotiations broke down, you used the spies hidden in my Red Turban Army to kill my eldest and second brothers in one fell swoop, causing chaos within our Red Turban Army."
"Finally, you will take advantage of our internal strife and strangle us in one fell swoop."
"It's a pity that my eldest and second brothers didn't follow my plan."
"If our Red Turban Army had launched a massive attack during the New Year, the four states in your hands would have been ours by now!"
Hearing Chen Yuliang say this, Zhao Hao admired him even more.
Although the other party is still relatively young, it has to be said that he is indeed a rare talent.
Zhao Hao said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was your idea for your Red Turban Army to imitate our Democratic Alliance Army, right?"
Chen Yuliang immediately asked: "How do you know?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Except for you, I don't think your eldest brother and second brother have such a brain."
"I still say that. I won't kill you. Just work for me in the future."
"Follow me and you will be able to unleash all your talents."
"Of course, if you really can't get over it, or if you have higher aspirations, then I won't kill you, but will let you go!"
"After all, talents are hard to come by!"
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Lin Qi on the side hurriedly said: "Young Master..."
Without letting Lin Qi continue, Zhao Hao simply waved his hand to interrupt him.
Then, he looked at Chen Yuliang and said, "Well, what's your choice?"
Chen Yuliang couldn't believe it and said, "You really don't want to kill me, but let me go?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Of course, what I, Zhao Hao, say has never gone unreliable!"
Chen Yuliang pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I...I am willing to do something for you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao burst into laughter.
"good!"
"Then from now on, you are one of us!"
"give a feast!"
A grand banquet was held to welcome Chen Yuliang. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Hao returned to the back.
Lynch followed him to the general's tent.
"Sir, if Chen Yuliang doesn't surrender today, are you really going to let him go?"
Zhao Hao immediately said: "What are you thinking? If this person is not one of us, then he must be dead. Am I the kind of person who would cause trouble for myself?"
Lin Qi was stunned and then burst into laughter.
During the day, looking at Zhao Hao's expression, I really thought he was going to let him go!
However, on second thought, I felt that Zhao Hao was really... too insidious.
After seeing Lin Qi off, Zhao Hao lay down to sleep.
The next day, Zhao Hao returned and asked Lin Qi to stay in Suzhou to handle the follow-up matters.
This old guy Lynch is still very capable.
As for Chen Yuliang, Zhao Hao took him back to Luzhou.
After returning to Luzhou, he directly handed over all the existing troops of the Democratic League Army to the other side.
This order scared father Zhao Wenxiang so much that he immediately came forward.
"You are playing with fire, kid. You just conquered Chen Yuliang, and now you are giving all your troops to him. This is too dangerous!"
