Immediately, someone brought Zhou Cang over.
Zhou Cang gritted his teeth and remained silent, waiting for Lin Nan's judgment.
Chen Dao cupped his hands and said.
"My lord, although this dark-skinned man is from the Yellow Turban Army, his military accomplishments are not bad. Facing a sudden attack, they remained calm and organized their defenses.”
"If it wasn't for us brothers having the Tiger Wing Formation, I'm afraid we would have lost a lot when we charged into the camp!”
"I thought that my lord's career is at the height of its glory, and now is the time to seek talents. I captured him alive and brought him over to my lord for punishment.”
Lin Nan nodded when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhou Cang. He quickly thought about the list of Yellow Turban soldiers in his mind.
Although most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were grassroots, there were many capable people among them.
Zhang Jiao and his two brothers, the future leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, were all talented people.
For a moment, Lin Nan really could not figure out the identity of this dark man in front of him.
"What's your name?"
Zhou Cang said in a muffled voice.
"Zhou Cang, character Fu!"
Lin Nan was stunned.
He actually caught this person by accident?
Zhou Cang was quite famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
He was born in the Yellow Turban Army of Bingzhou and was later subdued by Guan Yu. After that, he served Guan Yu for the rest of his life.
After Guan Yu committed suicide, he also committed suicide.
He was also a first-class loyal man.
If he could get a subordinate, it would not be bad to be a guard.
Although Zhou Cang's strength could not compare to Chen Dao, he was still considered a second-rate general.
With his protection, at least ordinary thieves wouldn't need to do anything themselves.
With that thought in mind, Lin Nan got off his horse and slowly walked to Zhou Cang.
"Zhou Cang, Zhou Yuanfu, are you willing to abandon the darkness for the light?”
Hearing this, Zhou Cang raised his head in surprise and doubt.
Ever since he joined the Yellow Turban Army, he had seen too many Han Dynasty officials who had been working for nothing and were very hostile to them.
In the past, if a Yellow Turban general fell into the hands of the government army, he would definitely be beheaded and taken directly to claim credit and reward.
Why was this person in front of him?
Lin Nan saw the change in Zhou Cang's expression and smiled faintly.
"I know that you're also a talented person. If you stay in the Yellow Turban Army, won't you be disgracing your abilities in vain?”
"You have good eyes. You should be able to see that although the Yellow Turban is powerful now, it will be extinguished by the Great Han Dynasty sooner or later.”
"Also, is the current Yellow Turban Army what you wanted to see in the past?”
"Since you're no longer a member of the Yellow Turban Army, are you willing to carry the name of the Yellow Turban Army forever, living like a rat on the street and only living in the mountains and forests as a bandit?”
Zhou Cang's expression darkened. He lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Every word that Lin Nan said was precisely hitting his heart.
Of course, he also wanted to make contributions and bring honor to his ancestors. However, he was born into a poor farmer and no one recommended him.
After joining the Yellow Turban Army, he was not put in an important position.
Seeing that Zhou Cang was silent, Lin Nan took a step forward and untied Zhou Cang.
"Yuanfu, I cherish the fact that you are a hero. Stay by my side.”
"If you follow me, you'll have food to eat, a house to live in, and a wife to marry.”
"Not only that, I guarantee that in less than three years, the world will know about you, Zhou Cang, Zhou Yuanfu!”
Zhou Cang raised his head and stared at Lin Nan. His eyes were sparkling as he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Since you don't care that I was born in the Yellow Turban, you are willing to help me.”
"Then Zhou Cang is willing to follow you!"
"In the future, Zhou Cang will follow your lead. If you say go east, I will definitely not go west!”
After saying that, he directly kowtowed to the ground!
Seeing this, Lin Nan could not help but laugh loudly.
He knew Zhou Cang's personality.
Once he decided to pledge loyalty, it would never change!
However, this way, Guan Yu would lose a loyal guard.
This could be considered as cutting off Guan Yu's luck!
"Yuanfu, please get up."
Lin Nan reached out and helped Zhou Cang up. Chen Dao, who was beside him, also laughed out loud.
"Congratulations, my lord, for gaining another general!”
Lin Nan took off the sword at his waist and handed it to Zhou Cang.
Then, he turned around and looked at the bodyguards behind him.
"From today onwards, Zhou Cang and Zhou Yuanfu will be the captain of my guards.”
"If I'm not around, he can give orders on my behalf!”
"If anyone disobeys, Yuanfu can act first and report later!”
All the bodyguards responded and bowed to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang was stunned when he heard this.
Did he hear wrongly?
Captain of the guards?
This was an important position. It was equivalent to shouldering Lin Nan's safety!
Generally speaking, this position would be assigned to the person he trusted the most!
He was just an old Yellow Turban general who had just surrendered. How could he be given such great honor and favor by Lin Nan?
No one had ever given him such trust.
Zhang Jiao, the Great Sage Teacher, Zhang Bao, the Earth Duke General, and Zhang Xiaocheng, the Canal Marshal, did not have any.
A warm current surged into Zhou Cang's heart.
He silently gripped his sword, his voice choked with emotion.
"Don't worry, my lord!"
"As long as I, Zhou Cang, don't die, I will never let the enemy hurt even a hair on my lord's head!”
"I will use my life to ensure my lord's safety!”
Lin Nan smiled and nodded.
Sometimes, it was not difficult to gain a person's loyalty and faith.
A sincere action would be remembered for life.
This was the Art of the Emperor!
