  Liu Jin was defeated and captured, which meant that Ding Yuan finally took over Xiangyang City, grasping it in his hands. As a result, the three closely connected cities of XinYe, CaiYang, and Xiangyang could be unified on the same front line. From now on, if they were to go out to battle, the defensive forces needed would be greatly reduced.

  In the main hall of Taiyuan City, Ding Yuan sat in the master seat, with a majestic air, while Zhang Liao was at his lower position. Now it's time for the climax of this battle - recruiting captives!

  Ten generals of the Upper Yong City, all were captured by Ding Yuan. It can be confirmed that five non-Liu family generals had the intention to surrender, while as for General Liu Dai, the original Taishou of Upper Yong, and his four family generals, whether they surrendered or not depends on Liu Dai.

  However, Ding Yuan did not have much confidence in Liu Dai's surrender. This man was arrogant and proud at first glance, and it was impossible for him to surrender the first time he was captured. Nevertheless, the surrender of the five dragon generals was enough to give him a huge surprise.

  In order to avoid any unexpected events, Ding Yuan first summoned those five dragon suite generals who intended to surrender.

  The first one is Zhao Sheng, the former Taishou General of Caiyang. Although this general's overall strength is far from that of any of the Three Kingdoms' famous generals or even any of the Liu family's four generals, he was still appointed as the Taishou of a pass city, which means he has his own strengths. Ding Yuan still had high expectations for him.

  When he saw Ding Yuan, Cai Yang immediately knelt down on one knee of his own accord and was not forced to do so by the soldiers escorting him.

  "Is General Zhao Sheng willing to surrender to me and follow me in conquering the world, achieving great merits?"

  Ding Yuan sat in the main seat and said with a smile.

  "My lord is above, I am willing to work as hard as a horse and dog, please accept my humble salute!"

  Zhao Sheng clasped his fists and bowed, saying:

  "Good!"

  Ding Yuan was overjoyed, stood up and personally went down to tie Zhao Sheng's hands, sending him to Zhang Liao's seat, saying: "General is willing to surrender to me, it is indeed my good fortune, General please sit!"

  "Thank you, sir!"

  …………

  Zhao Sheng's surrender was a good start, and then the four generals Zhang Tie, Xiang Kai, Wang Yang, and Zhang Bu were brought up one by one.

  These four were also like Zhao Sheng, who had long since had the intention of surrendering. Otherwise, on the battlefield, they would not have stood still and allowed Ding Yuan's archers to shoot them off their horses and be captured by Ding Yuan. Therefore, under Ding Yuan's kind words of persuasion, these four generals all surrendered one after another and defected to Ding Yuan.

  With the surrender of the five dragon generals, Ding Yuan now has eleven generals under his command, which is quite a powerful force. As long as they are allowed to rest and recover, these five dragon generals will once again become the main force in battle!

  These five young generals were each given a seat and became Ding Yuan's subordinates. Next is the most important character.

  Han's clan relatives, the famous Liu Dai in history. Although this person is not a top-notch civil or military official, Ding Yuan does not think that this person is difficult to surrender. Don't you see that after being defeated by Cao Cao, he surrendered to Cao Cao?

  However, this time being captured, he was absolutely not that easy to surrender, and Ding Yuan also had a plan in his heart.

  However, fortunately, he and Zhang Liao had already made plans. The general Lü Bu stationed in the north was their roadblocker. Even if they wouldn't surrender this time, coming several more times would definitely make them surrender.

  As expected, after being taken to the main hall, Liu Dai showed great cooperation and acknowledged his captive status, but when Ding Yuan asked him questions, he had no intention of surrendering.

  Having just surrendered five people in a row, although he had already mentally prepared himself for this person's refusal to surrender, Ding Yuan still couldn't help but ask one more time: "General, are you really unwilling to surrender to me?"

  "As a member of the imperial clan of Han, how can I surrender? Your Excellency the Governor need not say another word!"

  Liu Dai's face was calm as he spoke, without any worry that he would be executed by Ding Yuan.

  "Alas! Since it's like this, I won't force you, General. You may leave!"

  Ding Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, saying...

  "Then thank General for sparing his life!"

  After being untied, Liu Dai said with a fist in his hand, he can retreat.

  As expected, since Liu Dai did not surrender, the next few small generals, Liu Tu, Liu Huo, Liu Mu, and Liu Jin, all refused Ding Yuan's recruitment without any hesitation, except for General Liu Jin, who showed a slight hint of hesitation on his face!

  Thus, the five released generals went north under Liu Dai's command.

  Although the refusal of the last five generals made Ding Yuan's heart slightly disappointed, the result of this battle was brilliant and unparalleled. He immediately became happy again, with a smile all over his face.

  After arranging for the five little generals to rest, Ding Yuan couldn't wait to check his own attributes.

  He successfully upgraded to level two, and he didn't know if there were any major changes in his attributes, which made him very much look forward to it.

  To know that his own attributes are also considered a second-rate martial general, although not high but also passable, if placed in the real world is a nine-star warrior, but now is in a sealed state, only equivalent to a second-level warrior, this makes Ding Yuan, who has always been eager for strength, somewhat resentful.

  As a man, although he is the monarch of a country, he also wants to command the vanguard on the battlefield and engage in fierce battles. All of this requires strength as a guarantee!

  Although he recovered some attributes every time he ended a battle, it was indeed too slow, so he would be very much looking forward to this upgrade!

  With a stir in his heart, his own attributes were presented, and indeed the value of his Qi attribute had undergone a huge change!

  Warlord: Ding Yuan

  Strength Value: 23 (83)

  Intelligence Value: 30 (78)

  Held Weapon: Wu Hook Sword

  Effect: Increases Strength Value by two points

  Carried Items: None

  Life Value: 35 (58)

  Internal Force Value: 12 (32)

  Warlord Level: 2nd level

  Troop Type: Archer: 1 (200)

  Note 1: This warrior is in an injured state, with greatly reduced attribute values.

  Note 2: The value in parentheses is the normal attribute value.

  Note 3: The values in parentheses for the war attributes are the normal values of the current general.

  Note 3: The martial general has been upgraded and his attributes have greatly increased.

  After checking, Ding Yuan found that he had indeed leveled up and his attribute values had also recovered. According to the comparison before and after leveling up, it was discovered that his attributes increased by two points in combat power and two points in intelligence, which was still quite good. The potential afterwards was also great, as long as the level continued to rise, there was a possibility that his combat power could break through 100 and become a strong general.

  With a happy heart, Ding Yuan then went to inspect the situation of Lü Bu's garrison in the north...
