Chapter 416: Peace of Mind
"No, I haven't seen you for a while. How come you are so eloquent, Chen Jinlong?" Meng Jingfeng and others asked in doubt.
Although he was good at speaking before, he was not as eloquent as today.
Chen Jinlong: ...
The past is unbearable to look back on.
Gao Lei and Ding Han also looked unnatural. God knows what they have been through.
Four days ago, they were taken to Houcheng Military District.
After Qin Liuye said that the Liaojun Army was going to sweep the banditry in the other three counties of Pingzhou, they expressed their willingness to go as lobbyists to persuade other bandits to surrender. Qin Liuye handed them over to an arrogant guy named Lu Ye!
As soon as the guy named Lu Ye came, he sat down carelessly and asked them to treat him as the bandit leader of Xuantu County and began to persuade him.
When they looked at each other, Lu Ye called out their names and asked them to go up one by one.
Okay, go up.
But, wait until they finished their performance.
That Master Lu was so disgusted that he immediately said, "That's it? Who can you convince?"
Chen Jinlong and others held their breath, they were wielding swords and guns, not talking!
Master Lu directly pulled people away.
At that time, they went to Houcheng with twelve people, and only eight of them were picked out. The other four were sent back because of their attitude and other reasons.
Among the remaining eight people, Master Lu picked Chen Jinlong and two other people who were good at talking. He gave them intensive training and personally taught them how to convince other bandit leaders, and the others listened.
After two days, they just felt that their eyes were opened.
It was also before they left that they knew that Master Lu was none other than the new governor, Master Lu Desheng.
The thought of the new governor actually teaching them how to recruit bandit leaders? Exciting.
It was after this that they felt that Meng Jingfeng and others could not fight against the people in Liaodong County.
First of all, they had personally experienced the soldiers and generals of the Liaodong Army.
Secondly, their entire group is also very capable, otherwise they would not have been able to govern Liaodong County so well in more than half a year.
Finally, even the governor is so flexible...
Thinking about it this way, they didn't lose unfairly. So, what can Meng Jingfeng and the others use to fight against them?
"Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei, Ding Han, have you ever thought about getting out of the control of the government?" Feng Shuo, the leader of Chunqiu Village, asked.
Chen Jinlong and Gao Lei looked at each other. No, this guy, is he still trying to instigate them?
The three of them had already planned when they came, and they would join the army after serving their military service.
They heard some gossip that those who are now serving in the army can eat meat every three or five days.
They think that even if the gossip is exaggerated, they should be able to eat meat once every ten days or half a month.
It is very tiring for the village leader to worry about the livelihood of the people in the village. And they think the atmosphere between the Liaodong Army soldiers is good, and they like it.
So, at this time, they can't go the wrong way again.
Heartbeat, that doesn't exist.
Going back to the old way, wouldn't all the suffering they had suffered before be in vain?
"Let's fight and rush down the mountain together, how about it?" Feng Shuo continued.
Lu Dayou was the first to respond, "As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how powerful Qin Sheng is, I don't believe that he can withstand the simultaneous attack of so many of us?"
Feng Shuo: "Okay, you will be free in the future. How about it, do you agree?"
Lu Dayou: "Yes, if it's done, you can do whatever you want?"
Chen Jinlong: "The sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jump."
Lu Dayou: "Yes, that's it!"
Chen Jinlong and Ding Han looked serious.
Gao Lei slammed the table directly, "Feng Shuo, you old bastard, don't think of harming us!"
They knew very well that if they dared to rebel, it would be okay if they escaped, but if they couldn't escape, death would definitely be waiting for them.
This time, the recruitment was considered a failure.
During lunch, Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei and the other two went down the mountain.
Anyway, this surrender cannot be accomplished in a short time.
But before leaving, he took the opportunity to go to the toilet and pulled Meng Jingfeng over to talk to him for a few words.
Chen Jinlong told him, "Being the first to surrender will have some hidden benefits. You have to surrender early or late, you have to think about it yourself."
"We are on good terms with you, so we told you this. Who can I sell this favor to? No one has to accept my favor?" When he said this, he looked at the corner of the wall behind him meaningfully, "In short, make a decision quickly. The longer you wait, the less valuable it will be."
After Chen Jinlong and others left, the leaders of the major strongholds also dispersed.
Lu Dayou's confidant pulled him, "Boss, why don't we surrender? The other side is surrounding but not attacking, and we can't outlast it."
"Why surrender? Let's work together, and there is a chance to break through! After breaking through, we will go back to our own homes, bring our brothers, grab weapons and beat him!"
Alas, he is too naive, "Boss, listen to me for once, it's better to surrender."
"If I surrender like this, won't the stronghold be handed over to others?"
The confidant was silent.
"You're a spendthrift!" How could he just give up such a big stronghold?
His confidant had a bitter face. When the brothers in the stronghold heard that the government was recruiting them, they would probably rush to become good people.
They all knew what life the people in Liaodong County lived.
Now that the people's lives are better, there is really no advantage for them to be bandits.
People want peace of mind.
At the foot of the mountain, Chen Jinlong and his two companions went down the mountain and found the Qin brothers. They offered them advice, "Prince Qin, Sixth Master, the leaders of the mountain strongholds in Xuantu County are trapped on the mountain by you. The other strongholds are in a state of disarray. Why not take the opportunity to raid their nests?"
The brothers Qin Heng and Qin Sheng smiled at each other. Qin Heng said, "It is estimated that the leaders on the mountain will try to break out once or twice."
"We will block these two waves of attacks first. If they still refuse to surrender and resist stubbornly, we will quietly divide our troops and slowly consume them with the large force. You, Sixth Master, will lead an elite force to attack their nest."
Hearing this, Chen Jinlong and others were very happy. The Qin brothers were willing to tell them the subsequent plan, which represented their trust in them.
The subsequent development was as expected by Qin Heng and others.
At nightfall that day, the bandit leaders on the mountain led people to attack from the bottom of the mountain.
Their actions were exactly what the Liaodong Army wanted. After a fight, the bearded Lu Dayou was captured. Meng Jingfeng and others asked their subordinates to cut off the rear, and they quickly ran to the mountain.
The captured Lu Dayou also understood that Feng Shuo, Meng Jingfeng and others did not work hard, and he was the only one who stupidly charged into the battle!
He immediately cursed and directly greeted the ancestors of Meng Jingfeng and others.
This man cursed for half an hour, and the Liaodong Army did not stop him.
When he finished cursing, the other party handed him a bowl of water, "Did you finish cursing? Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink?"
"Drink!" Lu Dayou didn't care whether the other party had poisoned him or not, and he drank it anyway. After all, people die and birds fly to the sky, and they will live forever.
