I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 226
Originally, according to the agreement between the two parties, Su Ming would let them go only after Gao Lan defeated Zhang Xiu.

But now Zhang Xiuying won and Gao Lan lost, but Su Ming still wanted to let them go.

This made Ju Yi, Gao Lan, and Zhang Yun feel a little overwhelmed.

You know, Su Ming was the chief culprit who killed Yuan Shao!
Ju Yi, Gao Lan, and Zhang Yun, the three brothers, actually have resentment towards Su Ming in their hearts.

Although Yuan Shao said he was not a wise master, he was kind to the three of them.

They were defeated and captured. There were originally two paths, one was to surrender, and the other was to be killed.

Now, Su Ming wants to let them go.

This made Ju Yi, Zhang Yun, and Brother Gao Lan wonder whether they should resent Su Ming or thank Su Ming for a while.

"I'll wait until the three brothers are willing to gamble and admit defeat, so I won't bother General Su."

"Furthermore, if General Su releases the three of us, the Prime Minister will not be able to explain it!" Ju Yi politely rejected Su Ming.

However, Su Ming smiled and said: "General Ju is a bit mean, let you go? You still don't want to go?"

"Could it be that you have feelings in this cell?"

"Since I can let the three of you go, I can naturally settle things with the prime minister, so you don't have to worry about the three of them."

"The world is far away, I hope we can meet again."

After saying this, Su Ming didn't talk too much with Ju Yi, but led the people out of the cell.

Su Ming left, Ju Yi, Gao Lan, and Zhang Yun stood there at a loss, not knowing whether to stay or go out.

After a long time, Gao Lan regained his composure first, and said to Ju Yi, Zhang Yun, "Big brother, second brother, since you let us go, let's go?"

"Let's make a note of this favor. If he falls into our hands on the battlefield, we'll let him go and treat it as repaying the favor."

At this time, Ju Yi and Zhang Xi also reacted.

Zhang Xi also nodded and said in agreement: "Brother, let's get out of here first!"

The three looked at each other, then walked out of the cell together.

The jailers in the cell were not stopped by anyone, and they were allowed to go out.

Su Ming gave orders and allowed them to leave. Naturally, no one dared to stop them in this cell.

All the way was unimpeded, Ju Yi, Zhang He, Gao Lan, the three of them will soon walk out of the cell.

At this moment, a partial general came over and shouted: "Three generals, please stay."

Hearing General Cao call them, Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Lan's expressions all sank.

At this moment, they thought twice, could it be that Su Ming had repented and was unwilling to let them go?
In the blink of an eye, General Cao came to them and said, "Three generals, you are too embarrassed now."

"Young Master Su Ming ordered you to take everyone to wash up, and it's not too late to change clothes before leaving!"

Ju Yi, Zhang Xi, and Gao Lan looked at each other, they were indeed in a state of extreme embarrassment.

They were all wearing prison uniforms, and they were unkempt and messed up.

Moreover, there was a foul smell on his body.

Ju Yi cupped his hands towards General Cao and said, "In that case, thank you!"

Anyway, Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Lan all owed Su Ming a life.

I owe my life, and it's not bad to take a shower and change clothes.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are really embarrassed by their current appearance.

Besides, if their third brother came out on the street wearing a prison uniform, people might think that the third brother escaped from prison!
Ju Yi, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the three brothers followed Cao Jiang to the mansion behind the cell, where bath water and some clean clothes had been prepared.

After the three of them took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

General Cao returned their horses and weapons to them, and prepared a package for them.

Ju Yi, Zhang He, and Gao Lan left the cell refreshed.

The three of them were walking on the street, and there were donation points everywhere on the street.

Countless merchants and common people are raising military funds for Cao Cao, and these common people are enthusiastic.

The three of them passed several recruiting points, and the recruiting points were full of civilians queuing up for registration.

"This"

"Brother, why is Cao Mengde so popular in Youzhou?"

"How long has he occupied Youzhou, and the people are so attached?" Zhang Yun asked with a puzzled expression.

The common people volunteered to donate to the military?

Moreover, there is a long queue at the recruiting point?

Seeing the scenes in front of them, Ju Yi, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and the others couldn't believe it.

If they hadn't seen all this with their own eyes, they must have thought they were dreaming.

You know, in this era, being a soldier is not an honorable profession.

In this era, soldiers were called Qiu Ba.

Even among the people, there is a saying that a hero should not be a soldier.

Soldiers are generally idlers, idlers, and some people who can't eat, and they go to the army to make a living.

In many cases, the princes wanted to force the people to serve as soldiers.

It was the first time for the third brother to see a scene like today's, where soldiers lined up at the recruiting point, and the people scrambled to become soldiers.

The same goes for military spending.

In other vassals, military expenses are collected from some aristocratic families, or, by increasing taxes, collected from the people.

It was the first time that merchants and ordinary people took the initiative to solicit military donations like today.

Ju Yi looked around and said solemnly: "It seems that we have missed a lot of things during the days we were locked in the cell!"

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, Cao Mengde is already unstoppable!"

Gao Lan looked at Ju Yi and Zhang He, who were expressing their feelings, and said, "Big brother, second brother, let's find a restaurant, have a full meal, and buy some dry food. Then, go to Qingzhou to seek refuge with the eldest son." !"

Due to being locked in the cell for too long, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, and Zhang He didn't know what happened outside.

When they were captured, Jizhou had already fallen into Cao Cao's hands, and now Youzhou is also in Cao Cao's hands.

Therefore, Gao Lan believes that Qingzhou should still be in the hands of the eldest son Yuan Tan.

As for what Su Ming said earlier, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi had defected to the Wuhuan people and brought Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Huns to attack Youzhou.

In Gao Lan's view, this is completely nonsense.

However, Ju Yi sighed heavily again, and said earnestly: "I'm afraid, this Qingzhou is no longer in the hands of the eldest son!"

When he was in Laurie just now, Ju Yi didn't believe what Su Ming said either.

However, when Su Ming really let them go, and seeing the changes in Youzhou, Ju Yi really believed Su Ming's words.
