Chapter 415 Reasoning
After Qin Heng led the army to the location, he quickly joined forces with Qin Sheng and others who had arrived earlier.
Qin Sheng whispered, "Brother, let's take advantage of the night to get rid of the remaining people?" They advanced all the way, but eliminated many spies planted in various places by the stronghold.
"Can."
Chunqiu Village is brightly lit.
In the lobby, the heads of five or six strongholds in Xuantu County gathered.
"Xiang Kui from the Black Wind Hall didn't come?"
"He doesn't have time to come. They are busy moving in Black Wind Hall."
"Moving? Where to?"
"He occupied a hilltop in Buyeo and then moved."
"The Fuyu people are not easy to deal with. Even if we move there, we won't be able to live in peace, right?" You have to know that the Xianbei people are standing behind Fuyu!
"Will we be safe if we stay in Xuantu County?"
"That's true."
"If Xiang Kui doesn't come, then don't come. Let's ignore him and discuss what we should do?" Meng Jingfeng said irritably.
Meng Jingfeng had always been proud of having chosen a good place to become a bandit.
But now the Liaodong Army was the first to target him, and now the posture they were showing made it seem like they might attack at any time, which was really annoying.
He spent a lot of money to build a kang a while ago, but he hasn't started enjoying it yet. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have built it. It's so annoying.
Someone asked him, "Lao Meng, what do you think we should do?"
Meng Jingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "How about we just join forces and fight them?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present flickered.
Because everyone had their own selfish motives, they naturally couldn't come up with a good solution. The discussion that night ended in vain.
The next morning, before the bosses woke up, the people below were banging on the door, shouting, "Oh no, bosses, we're surrounded!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?!"
Everyone got up in a hurry, put on some clothes and went outside.
When they looked down the mountain, they found that they were completely surrounded by the Liaodong Army.
Everyone's face looked unhappy, and they immediately started cursing and blaming each other.
"Who the hell suggested the meeting?"
"Yeah, what the hell, now you've been wiped out?!"
"What's going on with your Menghuzhai? Didn't you raise a signal smoke signal? The Liaodong Army made such a big move, but you didn't even raise a warning?"
"Is it interesting just to scold me? Didn't you arrange people to keep watch at all the important roads? Where are your people? Are they mute?" Meng Jingfeng said angrily.
"Stop arguing, now let's talk about what to do."
"Shall we join forces and rush down the mountain?"
Just as they were discussing how to break out, the people Qin Sheng and the others were waiting for arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Jinlong and the other two arrived in Ximagai County. They were woken up early in the morning and told that the Crown Prince and the Sixth Master needed them.
Now that they had reached their destination, seeing the Liaodong army surrounding the mountain, they felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy. They had also enjoyed such treatment before.
Qin Sheng saw them and greeted them, "Are you here?"
"Yes, Sixth Master, we are here." Aren't we here? We rushed here so fast that we almost lost half our lives!
"Sixth Master, if you have anything for us to do, just tell us."
Qin Sheng nodded. "The heads of five or six strongholds in Xuantu County are all trapped up there by us."
They saw this and wondered, "Who was so genius as to bring these people together and allow the Qin brothers to be wiped out in one fell swoop? Could the person who came up with this suggestion be a traitor?"
"Now you can go up and reason with them."
Chen Jinlong and others: ...Sixth Master, your logic is the hard truth.
Ding Han grabbed the man and left. Isn't that perfect? This is a free opportunity to make a contribution. Hurry up, hurry up.
Chen Jinlong and the other two climbed up the mountain easily.
"Are you here to lobby for the government?"
Everyone present was looking at the three people who came in and found that they looked quite energetic. Were they not tortured?
After Chen Jinlong and the other two came in, they didn't hesitate and each found an empty seat to sit down.
Chen Jinlong even said as he sat down, "Yes, we are here just to tell you that there is no future in being a bandit."
Someone with a hot temper slammed the table and pointed at them, shouting, "How dare you come here alone to surrender us! Believe it or not, we will rush over and kill the three of you!"
Gao Lei: "Come on, do it!"
Chen Jinlong's face was gloomy. "You can try it. Do you believe that if you start, the Liaodong army below the mountain will attack?"
Ding Han also said, "Yes, at worst, we brothers will walk in front, and you will follow, and we will walk together on the road to the underworld."
Meng Jingfeng came out to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, we're all brothers in the same boat, there's no need to be like this."
"What do the Liaodong troops down the mountain want?"
"It's obvious that they want to recruit you."
"Impossible! Let me surrender? Dream on!" A bearded man was the first to jump out.
Gao Lei rolled his eyes. "Come on, Bearded Lu, I don't know that your moves are any better than mine. It's fine if you can only bully unarmed ordinary people, but why do you want to try to fight against the regular troops of Liaodong County?"
"Gao, you look down on me? Let's have a fight!"
"Alright, alright, what time is it? Lu Dayou, sit down!"
After everyone quieted down, Chen Jinlong continued, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with surrendering. We became bandits in the first place just to have something to eat and to survive, right?"
"The lives of ordinary people are getting better and better, and our advantages as bandits are becoming less and less."
Seeing their nonchalant expressions, Chen Jinlong chuckled twice, "Don't believe me? How do you think you got into trouble this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jingfeng and others looked at each other. Indeed, their failure this time was a bit inexplicable.
"What if we don't agree to surrender?" Some people were still resisting stubbornly.
"You have no right to negotiate with them. If they surround you but don't attack, how long can you hold out?"
"The worst that can happen is that both of us will die!" Lu Dayou shouted.
"You can break through if you want, but I won't!" Meng Jingfeng retorted, "What do you think? We should negotiate with the Liaodong County garrison and pay them some money to let us pass. Is that okay?"
"Old Meng, why are you so desperate? Are you still thinking of becoming a bandit somewhere else? Now that the government is offering amnesty, just surrender. To be honest, those present here won't have a bad life even if they surrender. You can also avoid committing sins and accumulate some virtue for yourself and your descendants."
"When the eighteen strongholds in Liaodong County were wiped out, what happened to those leaders?"
Chen Jinlong said calmly, "Those who are dishonest and have done many evil things, their graves are probably covered with grass three feet high."
There was a moment of silence among those present.
"I heard that even if we are recruited, we still have to serve a period of corvee labor?"
"Don't you have money? You can use it to redeem your sins."
