Chapter 389

Since Pei Qing was able to test the loyalty of the generals, his grasp of the captives has become more accurate. As long as he can collect the other party's genes, he can know at any time whether the other party still maintains his original intention for the former master.

Among Pei Qing's prisoners, the most important ones are Yu Jin, Qu Yi and Ju Su. Pei Qing has learned that Qu Yi's loyalty to Yuan Shao has dropped to 75, which means that there is a great possibility of being surrendered, but Yu Jin's situation is similar. On the surface, he seems to be ready to die, but his loyalty to Cao Cao is only 79. Although it is already close to 80, after all, it is still possible to say that it has not reached 80.

Only Ju Su seemed a little troublesome because his loyalty to Yuan Shao reached 92, which meant that Ju Su had almost no chance of surrender. However, Pei Qing knew that as long as Ju Su's loyalty was less than 100, it meant that there was hope, so he was still looking forward to the day Ju Su surrendered in the future.

Although Qu Yi may surrender, he is a little far away from Pei Qing. Yu Jin is now on Mount Tai, only a few hundred miles away from Xia Pi Kingdom where Pei Qing is located, and you can arrive in a few days.

So Pei Qing decided to surrender Yu Jin first.

A few days later, Yu Jin was escorted to Xia Pi. This was the first time he saw Pei Qing. When he saw Pei Qing's young figure, he couldn't help but feel extremely shocked, because he never thought that Pei Qing was so young, looking several years younger than him.

"Sun Ce from Jiangdong was young and brave. He controlled the four counties of Jiangdong under the age of twenty. Gong Pei was about the same age as him. This was even more amazing. Now he is the Supreme General and the Left Prime Minister, who controls Sili, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou and Nanyang in Jingzhou, Taishan in Yanzhou, and Dai County in Youzhou. He has no less than 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers under his command, and he can conquer generals who are used to fighting, and countless people who are planning and planning. With such strength and age, he is unprecedented. Is the world already the world of young people? Yu Jin claims to be both wise and brave, but he is a famous general in the world, but he can't count anything in front of them. He is simply ashamed of himself."

Yu Jin sighed secretly. He had a good first impression of Pei Qing and was impressed by his style. So after seeing Pei Qing, he couldn't help but bow and said, "The sinner Yu Jin has seen Gong Pei."

However, Pei Qing smiled and helped Yu Jin up and said to him: "Wen does not have to be too polite. If you admire Yu Wen for a long time, you will be brave and steady. However, everything is too much. As the saying goes, it is easy to break. The reason why you lose Mount Tai is not a crime of war, but your military discipline is strict and you look down on the four people including Wu Dun, who are also a general from Mount Tai. In addition, Zang Xuangao, who went to recruit surrender, had a relationship with them, so he had today's mistakes. In fact, this time, only Zang Xuangao was able to successfully persuade the surrender of the four of them. It would not be possible to change any of them. I hope that Wen can remember this lesson in the future.

We should judge heroes by origin. When the Han Dynasty was founded, which one of them was not a commoner, the younger generation of Emperor Gaozu, Prime Minister Xiao He, and Prime Minister Xiao’s next Cao Shen, was not a commoner? General Fan Kuai was also a dog-slaughtering family, but their achievements were something that many of us could not look up to. In fact, I was just a leader of the Yellow Turban Army before. The most important thing for a person is his own ability, not his background. We must pay attention to his current ability, not before. Everyone has the possibility of progress. If we look at people with a constant perspective, we may suffer a great loss."

After Pei Qing finished speaking, he personally untied Yu Jin's rope and smiled and said, "Since you are determined to surrender, then leave. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Since you don't want to surrender, I will not force you to stay."

"Ah?" After hearing this, Yu Jin was extremely surprised. He originally thought that Pei Qing might persuade him to surrender with great sincerity, so he naturally refused again and again. Finally, he was inspired by Pei Qing's righteousness, so he agreed to surrender with the flow.

But I didn't expect that I didn't think of anything. Pei Qing just helped him analyze the reasons for his defeat in this battle, and also taught him not to underestimate others in the future, so as not to repeat the same mistakes, and then he actually wanted to let him go.

"Let's go? But where should I go?" Yu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was defeated in Mount Tai, and this battle lost the entire county, resulting in Cao Cao's defeat in a major battle and losing tens of thousands of troops. Even if he really went back, Cao Cao would not let him go. Even if Cao Cao was nostalgic and wanted to let him go, how could the officials under his command let him go easily? At that time, he would be dismissed at the least, and he would be executed at the worst. The final outcome can be imagined.

So Yu Jin had to stop and sighed to Pei Qing: "I am grateful if Jin can be generous to Mr. Pei. I will spare my life. Why do I dare to be so shameless and go out in a bold way? Besides, I have to hide from Mr. Pei. Now Jin has no way out. I have lost Taishan County and caused irreparable losses to Mr. Cao. I have long violated the military law. I am very strict in the military law in normal times, and it can be said that it is harsh. I will definitely die when I go back this time. Even if Mr. Cao is willing to forgive me, those who have been punished by our military law will definitely be dissatisfied and demand strict handling in accordance with the military law. Another point is that I was originally a prisoner, but now I have been released by Mr. Pei. How could Cao Gong not doubt it?"

"Well, it makes sense," Pei Qing nodded and pondered: "I have said before that Wen Ze's personality is too strong, but hard is easy to break. Although relying on military law to suppress it can help you quickly establish your prestige, this is like the tyranny of Qin. Although the law is strict, there are always people who break the law and finally die in a short time. However, my great Han Dynasty mixed the way of overbearing. Simply put, it is Confucianism outside and law inside. As the saying goes, the law is nothing more than human feelings. When strictly enforcing the law, you should also show your love for the soldiers. Wu Qi was strict in the military in the Warring States Period, but he also cared about the soldiers. The soldiers had abscess. He personally sucked the pus for the soldiers. He ate the same food as the soldiers in the army, dressed simply, and the soldiers were willing to serve him. This is worth our reflection."

Yu Jin was suddenly moved after hearing this. He sighed for a long time, and then said, "It's a pity that I know this truth too late, otherwise it would not have been defeated by Mount Tai. Now I have nowhere to go. I wonder if Mr. Pei can take me in? If Mr. Pei can be willing to go through fire and water for Mr. Pei, it's good!"
