Ma Teng nodded in agreement, "That's right! Even if it's just the two of us, it's difficult to gain momentum if we want to side with General Zhao! Wen Yue, among these people, I feel that Yang Qiu can be considered a hero."
Others are unfit for this important task, and we probably can't persuade them to join us.
Han Sui nodded slightly. Unlike in history, he had been hiding in Jincheng for a long time, developing his power in a cowardly manner, and had brought those fierce warlords from Xiliang, such as Cheng Yi and Li Kan, under his command. His power was extremely weak.
Although the title of Prefect of Jincheng Commandery still belonged to Han Sui, this title had only been bestowed upon him for a short time before Dong Zhuo summoned him to Anding to fight against Zhao Hao, leaving him with less than ten thousand cavalry.
"Shoucheng, I'll have my son-in-law make arrangements for the people below, so that even if things change in the future, we'll be prepared in advance."
"Well... then I'll have my retainer, Pang De, inform the men below in advance."
"Alright, in that case, I'll come to your tent at noon, and then we'll go together to persuade Brother Yang Qiu, how about that?"
"color!"
Meanwhile, within Zuo Fengyi, an army also began its own schemes.
"Yizhen, fifty thousand brothers are ready!"
"Damn it, I've been wanting to vent my anger on Dong Zhongying for ages! Finally, I have a chance to get my revenge!"
The faint candlelight flickered in the wind, illuminating the two white-haired old generals.
"Gongwei, in that case, we should thank Marquis Qin."
"But... alas, if Lord Qin is the next Dong Zhuo, then after this, we will have no choice but to stand firmly on Lord Qin's side; otherwise, our lives, fortunes, and future reputations will likely be in jeopardy."
Zhu Jun didn't think as much as Huangfu Song, the seasoned fence-sitter. He just laughed and patted Huangfu Song on the back.
“Yizhen, this kid is clearly a man of courage. When the Xianbei and Xiongnu invaded Bingzhou, he eliminated the scourge for the people and killed all the villains.”
How could someone like that be a second Dong Zhongying? Even if he were, he would be eight or ten times better than Dong Zhongying!
I'm telling you, you're always so hesitant and indecisive, making yourself look like a civil official and forgetting you're a military general! What's the point of thinking so much? When a person dies, they fly to the sky; if they don't, they live forever. Children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Planning too much only hinders you.
I heard that Lu Zishi arranged for his nephews and grandsons to work under Zhao Hao. After this, I'll see what happens with those good-for-nothing members of the clan... and arrange for a couple of them to join too!
Huangfu Song snorted, "All you know is how to abuse your power for personal gain!"
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up. After taking only a few steps, he turned back and nodded.
"Ahem, um... remember to take me with you then, so we can ask Marquis Qin for a position together. Wouldn't that be much more convenient?"
"Hahahaha! I knew you were a tough old man. We've been through thick and thin together, so what are you pretending for!"
Those are things for later. Right now, let's focus on calming down our people first!
"That's only right!"
