Chapter 415 Reasoning
After Qin Heng led an army to the place, 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 clear out the remaining people?" They went ahead all the way, but eliminated many spies planted in various places by the mountain strongholds.
"Okay."
The lights were bright in Chunqiu Village.
The heads of five or six mountain strongholds in Xuantu County gathered in the lobby.
"Didn't Xiang Kui from the Black Wind Hall come?"
"He didn't have time to come. They were busy moving in the Black Wind Hall."
"Move? Where to move?"
"He occupied a hilltop in Buyeo and moved."
"Buyu people are not easy to mess with. Even if they move there, they can't live in peace, right?" You know, there are still Xianbei people standing behind Buyeo!
"Will we live in peace if we stay in Xuantu County?"
"That's true."
"If Xiang Kui doesn't come, then don't come. Don't worry about him. Let's discuss what we should do?" Meng Jingfeng said irritably.
Meng Jingfeng had always been pleased with himself for choosing a good place to become a bandit.
But now the Liaodong Army was the first to target him, and now they were showing a posture that they might attack at any time, which was annoying.
He had not started to enjoy the kang that he had spent a lot of money on a while ago. If he had known earlier, he would not have done it. It was annoying.
Someone asked him, "Old Meng, what do you think we should do?"
Meng Jingfeng thought about it and said, "Why don't we unite our forces and fight them?"
Hearing this, everyone present had a flickering look in their eyes.
Because everyone had their own selfish desires, naturally they could not come up with a good solution. The discussion that night ended in vain.
The next morning, before the heads of the family woke up, the people below slammed the door, "Oh no, heads of the family, we are surrounded!"
"What?"
"How is it possible?!"
Everyone got up in a hurry, put on some clothes and walked out.
When they looked down the mountain, they found that they were all surrounded by the Liaodong Army.
Everyone looked unhappy, and they immediately started to curse and blame each other.
"Who the hell proposed the meeting?"
"Yeah, what the hell, now you've been wiped out?!"
"What's wrong with your Tiger Village? Didn't you set off a signal fire? The Liaodong Army made such a big move, but you didn't even warn me?"
"Just scolding me is fun? Didn't you arrange people to watch at all the important roads? Where are your people? Are they mute?" Meng Jingfeng also said angrily.
"Stop arguing, let's talk about what to do now?"
"Let's rush down the mountain together?"
Just as they were discussing how to break through, Qin Sheng and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Jinlong and the other two came to Ximagai County. They were woken up early in the morning, saying that the prince and the sixth master wanted to use them.
Now that they have arrived at their destination, they feel extremely familiar and cordial when they see the Liaodong Army surrounding the mountain. They used to enjoy such treatment.
Qin Sheng saw them and greeted them, "Are you here?"
"Yes, Sixth Master, we are here." Isn't it true that we are here? We rushed and 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 mountain strongholds in Xuantu County are trapped up there by us."
When they saw it, they all wondered in their hearts, who is so talented that he can gather people together and let the Qin brothers catch them all in one fell swoop? The person who made this suggestion is probably a traitor, right?
"Now you can go up and reason with them."
Chen Jinlong and others: ...Sixth Master, your reason is the hard truth.
Ding Han took people away, isn't this just right? A free opportunity to make meritorious deeds, hurry up, hurry up.
Chen Jinlong and the other two went up the mountain easily.
"Are you here to help the government lobby?"
Everyone present was looking at the three people who came in and found that they looked energetic overall. Were they not rubbed?
After Chen Jinlong and the other two came in, they found an empty seat and sat down without being polite.
Chen Jinlong said as he sat down, "Yes, we are here just to tell you that there is no future in being a bandit."
Some people with hot tempers immediately slammed the table and pointed at them and shouted, "You are so brave to come here alone to surrender us! Believe it or not, we will rush over and kill you three?"
Gao Lei: "Come on, do it!"
Chen Jinlong had a gloomy face, "You can try it, do you believe that once you start, the Liaodong Army under the mountain will attack?"
Ding Han also said, "Yes, at most we brothers will walk in front, and you will follow, and walk together on the road to the underworld."
Meng Jingfeng came out to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, we are all brothers on the same path, there is no need to do this."
"What do the Liaodong Army under the mountain want?"
"Obviously, they want to surrender you."
"Impossible! Let me surrender? Dream on!" A bearded man jumped out first.
Gao Lei rolled his eyes, "Come on, Big Beard Lu, I don't know that your two moves are not as good as mine. It's fine if you can only bully ordinary people without weapons, but why don't you try to fight against the regular troops of Liaodong County?"
"Gao, do you look down on me? Let's have a showdown!"
"Alright, alright, what time is it? Big Brother Lu, sit down!"
After everyone quieted down, Chen Jinlong continued, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with surrendering. We became bandits just to have food to eat and to survive, right?"
"People's lives are getting better and better, and our advantages as bandits are getting less and less."
Seeing their disapproving faces, Chen Jinlong snorted and laughed twice, "Don't believe it? How do you think we got into trouble this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jingfeng and others looked at each other. Indeed, they got into trouble this time for no apparent reason.
"What if we don't agree to surrender?" Some people were still resisting.
"You are not qualified to negotiate with them. If they surround you but don't attack, how long can you hold on?"
"At worst, we will die together!" Lu Dayou shouted.
"You can break it if you want, I won't!" Meng Jingfeng said to Chen Jinlong, "You said we should negotiate with the garrison in Liaodong County, give them some money to let us go, okay?"
"Old Meng, why are you so depressed? Do you still want to be a bandit somewhere else? Now the government is recruiting us, just surrender. To be honest, those present here will not have a bad life after surrendering. They can also commit fewer sins and accumulate some virtue for themselves and their descendants."
"When the eighteen mountain strongholds in Liaodong County were wiped out, what happened to those heads?"
Chen Jinlong said lightly, "Those who are dishonest and have done many evil things, the grass on their graves is three feet high."
The people present were silent for a moment.
"I heard that even if we are recruited, we have to serve corvée for a period of time?"
"Don't you have silver? You can redeem your crimes."
