After Zhang Liao entered Ba County City, he urged him not to harm the people, and then issued a list to safeguard the people, which quickly stabilized the situation in the city.

After the sky was bright, Han Tao, under the protection of Dian Wei and Wensu, came with the Black Armored Army and entered the city of Bajun.

Zhang Liao had been stagnant in Ba County a few days ago, and Han Tao's army had already followed. However, in order not to put too much pressure on Zhang Liao, he deliberately slowed down his troops and gave Zhang Liao enough time to exert his abilities. Sure enough, he captured the city overnight.

After Han Tao received the news of Zhang Liao's victory, he came to Ba County early, on the one hand to appease the people, and on the other hand to persuade Yan Yan to surrender.

Yan Yan is a man with great force and is also a famous general in Shu. He has a very high prestige among the generals of Yizhou. If he can surrender, he can help Han Tao open the way and make the road to Sichuan smoother.

In real history, as well as in the records of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang conquered Yan Yan and, with his help, marched unimpededly to Luocheng.

Han Tao naturally hopes to follow this move and achieve the result of winning without fighting.

After entering Ba County, Han Tao was very pleased to see that the soldiers were not injuring the people and everything in the city was orderly. He praised Zhang Liao as an excellent commander and was indeed outstanding in being able to rank among the top five generals of Cao Wei.

Han Tao came to the Ba County Magistrate's Mansion, and Zhang Liao was already waiting here.

"Wenyuan, you did not disappoint my high hopes in the battle against Dingba County!" Han Tao expressed his approval to Zhang Liao.

"My lord is praised!" Zhang Liao responded modestly.

"Where is Yan Yan now?" Han Tao asked Zhang Liao.

"After this guy was captured, he kept shouting and refused to live. I had already ordered someone to lock him up with an iron rope. If the lord didn't come, he would be ready to behead him." Zhang Liao responded to Han Tao's question.

"Yan Yan is a famous general in Shu. If he can get his help, our journey into Sichuan will become a smooth road. Wen Yuan can take me to his detention. I personally come to persuade him to surrender!" Han Tao told Zhang Liao his intention.

Zhang Liao understood Han Tao's intention and immediately led him to the cell where Yan Yan was imprisoned.

As soon as Han Tao and others walked outside the house, they heard Yan Yan cursing in the house, not only scolding Zhang Liao, but also cursing Han Tao. "I, Zhang Liao, Han Tao, you a goddamn immortal Banban..."

When Zhang Liao heard Yan Yan's scolding, he was afraid that Han Tao would be angry and hurriedly said to Han Tao: "Lord, Yan Yan's dirty words are really unpleasant. Should I send someone to block his mouth first?"

Han Tao chuckled: "I want to subdue him. If you cover up your mouth, how can I calm him down? If you ask him to scold him for a few words, there will be no loss, it's okay!"

Only then did Zhang Liao feel relieved and asked someone to open the cell door and enter with Han Tao.

Yan Yan was locked by a cable. Although he could not move when he saw Zhang Liao coming in, he scolded him even more fiercely.

Han Tao looked at Yan Yan and smiled and said, "General Yan! You claim to be trying to capture me, Han Tao alive. Today, you scolded me by name. I wonder where I offended you?!"

"You evil thief, you are in a collusion with Dong Zhuo, corrupting the government and disrupting the Han Dynasty! Today, you have launched troops for no reason, offending me, Yizhou and harming the people of Yizhou. I am not only scolding you, I wish I could eat your meat and drink your blood, which would relieve my hatred!" Yan Yan scolded Han Tao angrily.

After hearing Yan Yan's insults, Han Tao smiled instead. He looked like a straightforward person full of justice and a hot personality. His hatred towards him was actually just because of the high mountains and long roads in Shu and the hidden news.

"General Yan, do you say that Dong Zhuo and I are in a collusion and corrupt the court. Do you know that Dong Zhuo has been rectified by me, and I have just rectified the officials of the four prefectures of the Ministry of Justice, Liang, and Jing, severely punished corrupt officials and promoted benevolent government?"

"Before entering Sichuan, I wrote a letter in person, hoping that the governor Liu Yan would come to Chang'an to meet the saint, but he ignored it, even closed the road and refused to pay tribute and taxes. If he had no intention of being a disobedient, why should I conquer him for the emperor?"

"After our army entered Sichuan, wherever we passed, we were completely unfair to the people, so how could we say that we would harm the people?" Han Tao calmly responded to Yan Yan's doubts and asked three renegotiations.

Yan Yan was quite shocked after hearing Han Tao's words and looked at him with some suspicion: "What you said is true?"

"Every sentence is true. Han Tao entered Sichuan just to save the people of Yizhou, so that all people can enjoy the same kindness as the Central Plains, live and work in peace and enjoy peace. Today I came to see the general, and I hope that the general can let go of misunderstandings and help me enter Sichuan." Han Tao directly explained his purpose to Yan Yan.

"Don't want to deceive me?" Yan Yan was obviously a little moved, but he didn't dare to believe it completely!

"Wen Yuan, please help General Yan, and ask him to go out and go to Bajun city by himself to ask the people, how our army is acting? You can also visit along the route of our army into Sichuan to see how our army is acting." Han Tao issued an order generously to Zhang Liao.

After hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately ordered the soldiers to come forward and untie the iron chain that bound Yan Yan, allowing him to restore his freedom.

"Please give me a gift, General Yan! After you have seen it, you will decide whether you are willing to join me!" Han Tao said generously to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan rushed out without any hesitation.

"Lord, you just let him go, aren't you afraid that he will never return?" Dian Wei, who was following Han Tao, reminded him with some concern.

"Yan Yan is obviously a generous person who values ​​friendship and friendship. If he sees us implementing benevolent policies to the people of Ba County, he will definitely come back!" Han Tao responded confidently.

Han Tao's guess was indeed correct. About an hour later, Yan Yan took the initiative to return to the county magistrate's mansion and came directly to Han Tao to kneel down.

"Yan Yan was stupid before and did not know that the general was a human being. Today, he visited the city of Ba County. When he saw the reaction of the people, he saw the rigorous military discipline of the imperial court. He knew that the general's words were not false, so he was willing to surrender. He also helped the lord enter Sichuan and persuaded all the guards to avoid fighting!"

After hearing this, Han Tao was very happy and hurried forward to support him: "The general is very clear about the righteousness and abandons the darkness and turns to the light. If the defenders everywhere can avoid war and prevent the people in Shu from being poisoned by the war, it is a great merit! I will thank the people in Shu first!"

"My lord must not say that. Yan Yan was vulgar and rude before and was offended by words. Please don't blame him!" Yan Yan apologized to Han Tao with some embarrassment.

"General Yan is generous and scolding others is powerful. How can I blame him? Then I'll bother the general to take a break and immediately lead his troops to Luocheng with Wen Yuan!" Han Tao responded to Yan Yan with a smile, and then issued an order to continue his march.
