The villagers between the two villages were not strangers to each other. When they learned that Yuan Shu and his men came from the Great Han Dynasty, the more than 400 people in this village did not hesitate to submit.
Afterwards, Yuan Shu incorporated seventy able-bodied men from the village into his ranks and then headed towards the next village.
By afternoon, Yuan Shu, accompanied by Ji Ling and others, had visited a total of four villages, all of which had chosen to submit.
