Li Hong continued: "Zhang Shuai may find it difficult to let go of the hatred between us for a while, so I want to ask Zhang Shuai, why did Zhang Shuai participate in Taiping Road? Why did he join the Yellow Turban Army? Why did he attack cities and capture villages? Why did he burn the government? Why did he massacre the powerful? Why did he encircle and annihilate the Han army?"

Zhang Yan looked at him coldly and said, "There is no way to live."

"So Zhang Shuai has found a way out now?"

Zhang Yan shook his head and said hatefully: "If it weren't for you, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Guo Dian, and Feng Yi, maybe we had found a way out."

Li Hong immediately asked, "Maybe, or certain?"

Zhang Yan didn't make any noise.

Li Hong asked again: "Maybe, or certain?"

Zhang Yan looked at Li Hong's aggressive eyes and said without showing any weakness: "Maybe, maybe, but that's always hope."

"So, now, Zhang Shuai has hope of finding a way out?"

Zhang Yan was speechless.

Li Hong asked again: "Where is Zhang Shuai's hope?"

Zhang Yan was speechless for a moment and closed her eyes in pain.

Yang Feng inserted it in time and said softly: "Can you two let go of your hands?"

Li Hong and Zhang Yan looked at each other and let go of each other's hands.

Yang Feng looked at Li Hong, smiled bitterly, and said, "What is the purpose of meeting us this time?"

Li Hong smiled calmly and said, "I have already said that for survival, for survival."

"Why, someone in the court wants to deal with the adults?" Yang Feng immediately reacted and smiled gloatingly, "What are you doing to protect such a foolish Liu Dynasty?"

"It turns out that sir, there is no way to survive..." Zhang Yan said calmly, "If a powerful general like sir, who has made many military achievements, has no place to live in the Han Kingdom, then what justice can be said in this world?"

Li Hong smiled easily, pointed at the two and said, "It's not that serious yet, so you don't have to be happy for the time being. The three of us are about the same age and have similar backgrounds. I accidentally got into a general of the Central Army by chance, and what about the two? They are rebels and traitors, so there is a big difference between my lack of life and the two of us who have no life."

"Oh?" Yang Feng asked in surprise, "I hope to hear the details."

"I have no way to live, and I can find another way, but Brother Feiyan and Brother Qizhi probably don't have any paths."

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng looked at each other, thinking about something.

Zhang Yan said slowly, "Sir, now the army is at the city, and there are more than 10,000 elite troops in his hands. You can conquer Changshan at any time. You want to see me at this time, just to tell me there is no way out, right? What do you want to do, please tell me directly."

"I'll tell you a way to survive." Li Hong smiled, "Are you two interested in listening?"

"Sir, please tell me."

"If you continue to do this, there is no way out. The reason for your failure is not because of the few of us leading the troops to suppress it, but because your strength is far from being as powerful as the current imperial court. Although you can achieve local victory, it is impossible to persevere for a long time. The facts have proved this."

Li Hong looked at them and continued, "You are hiding on the Taihang Mountains, and you are just a bandit after all, and food and clothing will be a problem. In the long run, you will gradually lose the support of the people. Once you do not have the support of the people, you will completely fail. Now you can't fight and are unwilling to retreat, what should you do?"

"Save your strength and raise it again." Zhang Yan said frankly: "Is there any better way sir?"

Yang Feng sneered, "Didn't you come to persuade the surrender today?"

Li Hong shook his hand.

"Of course not. Do you know what policies the Han Kingdom has adopted today for the Wuwan tribe and the Xiongnu tribe?"

Zhang Yan and Yang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing the two of them pondered and continued, Li Hong continued, "The strength of the Wuhuan people and the Xiongnu people was greatly reduced due to different reasons. They wrote letters to submit to their sanctions and asked to enter the country to live. In their residential areas, as long as they did not rebel, did not plunder the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties, and did not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, they could do whatever they wanted. The Han Dynasty not only did not collect their taxes, but also took the initiative to give them money to improve their lives, fearing that they would harm one side."

Li Hong glanced at them and said slowly: "Do you two want me to continue talking?"

Zhang Yan looked at him and asked, "What's the difference between this and surrender?"

"There is a difference. You can live, and live your own way. But there is no future. None of us knows what will happen in the future? As long as there is hope now, what do you think?"

"But the problem is that we do not have enough strength now." Yang Feng said hatefully, "We were beaten by you to only tens of thousands of troops, and our strength was far from reaching the point of threatening the court."

"Yes, this is my purpose for you." Li Hong continued, "Now your top priority is to retain the existing troops in your hands. This is the last little capital for you to persist."

"What should I do in the future?" Li Hong said, "In the future, Brother Qizhi can occupy the area of ​​Shexian in Heishan, and Brother Feiyan can occupy the area of ​​Ai on the Taihang Mountains. The two lead the army and unite other nearby leaders, one south and one north, echo each other, and dominate Taihang. But you must remember that you can't go down the mountain. The lessons of your two failures are profound, and you have not destroyed the strength of this world at all."

"You can attack Jizhou to the east, and Bingzhou to the west. If the enemy attacks the west, you can attack the east. If the enemy attacks the east, you can attack the west. If the enemy attacks the east, you can attack the west. If the enemy attacks the east, you will go south to attack Hanoi and threaten Luoyang. In this way, the official army will not find your main force at all, and can only look at Taihang Mountain and say nothing."

"You use this opportunity to strengthen yourself, accumulate money, hoard food, and train elite soldiers. Once you become strong, the court will not be able to deal with you. By that time you will not die, but if you want to live for a long time, it will still not work. So once you reach the stalemate, you must find the right opportunity to contact the court."

"This possibility is too small. How could the court contact us?" Yang Feng shook his head and smiled, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Of course, it is possible. If you cannot defeat you, the court can only comfort you. The cost of comfort is the smallest, and both sides can benefit. But there are many ways to comfort you. If you want to fight for the greatest profit, you must have strong strength."

"What is the difference between doing this and occupying the mountain and becoming king?" Zhang Yan asked, "If this continues, will we still have a chance to save the people of the world?"

Li Hong looked at him silently, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe you can do it?"

Zhang Yan nodded, "I don't know if I can do it, but I believe that someone will do it one day, so we have been working hard. Your idea can indeed save us temporarily, but this is not our ultimate goal after all."

"Hope." Li Hong said softly, "Hope. If you survive, there will be hope."

Zhang Yan's expression moved and suddenly understood the key. He bent down, bowed to Li Hong, and smiled bitterly: "It was you who defeated us, and it was you who helped us. What exactly do you want to do? Do you just want to go back to Changshan Kingdom?"

"Is it so hard to use a Changshan country? Adults have ulterior motives. What do you want to do? Do you want to use us to rebel?" Yang Feng asked coldly.

Li Hong thought for a long time but didn't know how he answered.

Rebellion? He didn't even think about it. Why did he rebel? With all his strength, millions of Yellow Turban Army were defeated by the court, who would dare to rebel?

He felt that he was not as good as he was. Zhang Yan was desperate and would sooner or later evacuate Changshan after weighing the pros and cons.

Then why do I still do this? Revenge the bureaucrats in the court? Sympathize with the Yellow Turban Army?

What exactly should I do when I return to the Han Kingdom and my hometown?

Li Hong stood there, looking up at the sky, looking dazed and confused. Zhang Yan saw him suddenly in a daze, as if he had been confused about something, and ignored them, so he quickly winked at Yang Feng.

"Sir, if nothing happens, Feiyan and I will say goodbye." Yang Feng said in a low voice.

Li Hong woke up in an instant and immediately said, "Can Brother Feiyan withdraw from Changshan Country before the end of the month?"

"I will take the troops up the mountain immediately." Zhang Yan said, "In three days, you can settle in Zhending City. Ten days later, except Shang Ai, the other county towns are yours."

Li Hong rushed back to the camp with Shooting Tiger and ten Xianbei Yi. Zhao Yunwen Chou hurriedly came forward.

Wen Chou asked in surprise: "Why did you only take Xiaohu with you and not us?"

Li Hong laughed and said, "I'm not going to kill the enemy, why do you take you? You both happened to be here, so I will draw up a few documents for me immediately."

"Please give me the order." Zhao Yun said respectfully.

Li Hong strode towards the big tent while saying to Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, "Immediately I wrote to the emperor and said that we have recovered Changshan and are planning to move westward."

Zhao Yun and Wen Chou were stunned.

Zhao Yun said in surprise: "Sir, why have we recovered Changshan before we fight with the Yellow Turban Army? Do we want to lie about military information?"
