The Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng is now under the command of Zhao Hong.

Regardless of his qualifications or connections, Zhao Hong is undoubtedly the number one person behind Zhang Mancheng.

It's just that Zhao Hong has been shrouded in Zhang Mancheng's halo for too long.

Maybe he didn't get any training.

His abilities are much worse than those of Zhang Mancheng.

Especially when it comes to dealing with such a big situation, it becomes even more confusing.

However, Sun Xia, who is much younger than him, actually behaves calmer at such times.

At this time, Zhao Hong was asking Sun Xia in a panic.

Sun Xia looked at the neat military appearance of Qin Yu's soldiers outside the city.

There was a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

"Zhao Qushuai, have you ever thought about the reason why Qushuai has been standing still before?"

Sun Xia asked.

Zhao Hong touched his head and said: "I have thought about this before, but I still can't figure it out."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Sun Xia nodded and said, "I just have a few small guesses."

Zhao Hong hurriedly said: "Brother, tell me quickly."

Sun Xia said: "Zhao Qushuai, do you think there is a possibility that Qushuai actually did not want to rebel against the court from the beginning, but wanted to find an opportunity and submit to Sir?"

Zhao Hong asked in surprise: "What's the meaning of this statement?"

"On the day of the uprising, we killed so many powerful people from aristocratic families, and stormed into Wancheng with overwhelming force."

"If you really wanted to submit yourself to Sir from the beginning, how could it be so troublesome?"

Sun Xia said: "This is actually something I can't understand."

"But if Commander Qu really didn't have this idea at the beginning, why didn't he lead us to send troops north to attack Luoyang earlier?"

"Those brothers in Yingchuan are not necessarily better prepared than us. They can fight all the way north, why can't we?"

"Besides, sir has been gone for more than a month, and it was precisely because of sir that the brothers were finally defeated on the Changshe battlefield."

"If you really want to rebel, you really don't care about your husband's feelings."

"We should have gone directly to attack Jiyang City when my husband left."

"Even if we just want to force Mr. to retreat from Yingchuan, at least we have to make a show of it."

"But Qu Shuai never made any move at all."

"Tell me, why would you do such a thing if it wasn't for the sake of surrendering to Sir in the future?"

Zhao Hong was speechless by Sun Xia's analysis.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was really nothing to argue with.

But on the other hand.

He couldn't understand why it was like this.

Zhang Mancheng died too suddenly.

So many things that only he himself knew were not passed down at all.

"Then, according to you, all we need to do now is to take refuge directly with Mr. Sir?"

Zhao Hong said undecided.

He himself is not a hot-blooded warrior.

Although his strength has reached the realm of eight meridians.

But most of this strength was improved by Zhang Jiao.

If divided carefully.

Qushuai like Zhao Hong are almost equivalent to civil servants in Taiping Dao, similar to missionary priests.

He was not very good at using force. Looking at the scene of fierce troops outside the city, he naturally thought that it would be better not to fight.

Even with heavy troops in hand.

But if he could find a way to survive for these brothers, he would naturally be more willing.

Sun Xia shook his head and said: "Of course I can't surrender directly to Sir."

"Qu Shuai, think about what we have done before, and now if we rashly surrender the city, sir, will he dare to accept us?"

Zhao Hong nodded, quite agreeing with this statement: "In your opinion, what should we do now?"

Sun Xia said: "We now have a hundred thousand troops, and there is still a lot of food in Wancheng. It is not appropriate to act rashly at the moment."

"Besides..."

"Among our troops, there are definitely not all people who think like Qu Shuai and me."

"When we recruited these people before, many of them were bandits and bandits. We asked them to submit directly to Sir."

"I can't be trusted."

"And if you, Qu Shuai, make such a decision rashly, once it is announced, those people may not use it to threaten you and me. At this special moment, if we are in chaos first, I am afraid that things will really be over.

"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until Mr. comes to surrender us, and we will be killed by Zhu Jun without leaving a trace."

Zhao Hong slapped his thigh and said, "Brother, you are right. If you hadn't given me some advice, I really don't know what to do now."

"Then do as you say, brother!"

"Is there anything specific that I need to pay attention to?"

Sun Xia said: "Of course there are still many things to pay attention to."

"Qu Shuai, please take a look."

He pointed at Qin Yu and others below the city, and said: "I, Mr. Guan, personally led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses this time. His momentum is extraordinary, but he is definitely not the same person as Zhu Jun. Otherwise, the former Sima of Zuojun

Sun Jian would not have almost died in the wild."

"It can be considered that he has great fortune. He dared to provoke Mr., but he is not dead yet. He is a blessing in disguise and has achieved a breakthrough."

"But this is also our chance!"

Zhao Hongdao: "You mean..."

"Are we here to give Mr. a sigh of relief?"

"Throw all those uncontrollable guys out to have a decisive battle with Zhu Jun, wait until these people are almost killed, then we surrender the city, directly welcome the gentleman in, and then shut out Zhu Jun?"

Sun Xia laughed and said: "Shuai Qu's move is wonderful, but how to do it beautifully is not easy."

"My opinion is, why don't we ask sir first?"

Zhao Hong was surprised and said: "Ask sir? How to ask?"

Sun Xia said: "What's the difficulty? Your husband is just outside the city now."

"I expect that when your husband comes on this trip, Zhu Jun will definitely ask him to surround our two positions respectively."

"After Zhu Jun returns to camp, I will leave the city and go directly to visit Mr.

"If sir doesn't kill me, the situation has been decided. If I am killed by sir, then Commander Qu will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Zhao Hong frowned and asked, "Isn't such a move too risky?"

"Why do you have to go there in person? If you just send a random envoy there, wouldn't it be possible to communicate our intentions clearly?"

"If that doesn't work, we can also repair a book and throw it directly from the city wall. I hope it can be delivered to the master."

Sun Xia smiled and said: "Qu Shuai, don't worry about me. In fact, as of now, there is no difference between going or not."

"If you, sir, are like Zhu Jun and just want to kill us all, what's the difference between me dying now and dying a few days later?"

"And if sir also wants to recruit us, then I will go there in person now to show my sincerity to him."

"Is it possible, Commander Qu, do you really think that with the help of these people in Wancheng, we can withstand the joint attack of Mr. and Zhu Jun?"

Zhao Hong sighed and said: "How can I not know what you said?"

"If it were only Zhu Jun, I wouldn't be afraid of him."

"But now if you add sir, it will be impossible for us to resist."

Sun Xia smiled and said: "That's exactly it."

"So Zhao Qushuai, do you have anything else to worry about?"

"Just wait for the good news that I will come back tomorrow."
