Chapter 572: Surrender to Pingzhou

Donghai, Danyang County, Jurong County

On Siping Mountain, Qin Sheng received a letter through a secret channel. When he saw the handwriting on the letter, his pupils were shocked.

His wife wrote him a letter. Could it be that he has been away for too long and misses him?

Qin Sheng never doubted his position in his wife's heart.

He immediately confessed to the people below, and then disappeared. He found a very private place and read the letter happily.

The beginning of the letter was indeed about her concern for him, asking him to take care of himself outside, not to lose weight, and to put his own safety first no matter what situation he encountered. She was waiting for his safe return in Pingzhou.

Seeing these words, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and his eyebrows softened.

He thought about it twice, took out the letter and planned to continue reading. However, he found that after his wife finished writing these three sentences, she turned to business.

After reading it carefully, he turned the letter over and looked for it three times. He found nothing else before he put down the letter in frustration.

Because he received a letter from his wife, Qin Sheng was in a good mood all day. In the evening, he even watched the sunset with great interest.

At this time, Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others in Baihu Village were conducting some simple training for the bandits in Baihu Village.

The reason given is also very simple. In the future, they will follow the King of Jin in a stronghold. They should train in advance and follow the orders and prohibitions. When they show their faces in front of the King of Jin, at least it will be better than being separated in their own camp.

After training, Chen Jinlong bumped Zhu Dazhuang with his elbow, "Master Liu seems to be in a good mood?"

"That's right. Look at the smile on his lips."

Maybe they have been staying in the village for too long recently. Mr. Liu has been acting like a late wife, and they don't dare to offend him.

The leader, Wen Hu, couldn't help but sigh when he saw his brothers training in a decent manner. A few days ago, he was excitedly preparing to lead a group of bandits to surrender to King Jin. But in the current situation, King Jin looks like his future is uncertain, which really makes him confused.

Wen Hu was a rugged man who couldn't hide his thoughts. Immediately, he confided his troubles to the deputy village leader next to him.

The deputy village leader and Chen Jinlong and others hit it off immediately. If he knew, it would mean that Chen Jinlong and others knew.

So, Chen Jinlong came to do ideological work, "Zhao leader, why did you end up in a dead end?" It's really a dead end.

"How did I get into a dead end?"

"Why do we have to vote for King Jin?"

"Huh? Didn't you always say that you would defect to Prince Jin?"

Chen Jinlong: That’s what you think.

"I don't know whether King Jin can withstand this wave of offensive from the imperial court. I'm not sure. The imperial army is coming in force. After killing King Jin, it is very likely that they will kill us little miscellaneous fishes."

"What should we do?" Wen Hu was worried. With so many people, the village's food reserves were almost gone. Although they went out hunting from time to time and were able to hunt some prey, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Chen Jinlong, "We are going to join a strong force, so we must choose a good place. Just like gambling, you must bet on the one with the widest range. After all, this is related to the fate of all the brothers in the entire Baihu Village."

Wen Hu and the deputy village leader nodded, "That makes sense."

"It is obvious now that there is no future in joining the King of Jin." Chen Jinlong said forcefully.

Wen Hu said, "What about defecting to the imperial court?"

Chen Jinlong: "Since ancient times, it is difficult for bandits who accept recruitment to have a good death. Chief, do you think this is the case?"

Wen Hu and the deputy village leader looked at each other. Yes, they are bandits. What if the imperial court settles the scores?

"When we join the army, don't we just want to secure a better future for ourselves and a better background for future generations? There are so many officials in the court, and it's hard to get ahead. As the saying goes, once a general succeeds, thousands of bones will wither, and we join in In the past, it was easy to become a pawn of the imperial court."

"The future is not good if you join the King of Jin, and you can't join the imperial court, what should you do?" Wen Hu was worried.

"Let's go to Pingzhou!" Chen Jinlong saw clearly.

"I have a brother who grew up wearing three-speed trousers and is currently in the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force. I asked someone to inquire about it. He is now a junior general. We can join him!"

Chen Jinlong directly told the two of them that he had connections and could lead the brothers from Baihu Village to join the Pingzhou Army.

Wen Hu and the deputy village leader's eyes widened instantly. They didn't expect that he still had such ability?

"But didn't the imperial court say that it had cut off the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army's food route?" Wen Hu wondered.

From this point of view, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force was also destined to be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court. Like King Jin, his future is also not good.

Moreover, they have no food in Baihu Village. If they surrender to Pingzhou, they won't both starve to death, right?

"Captain, you are stupid. It is because of this that we have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

ah? "How do you say this?" the deputy village leader asked.

"Fortress leader, deputy leader, please listen to me in detail. Calculating it carefully, Pingzhou has now reached the territory of three states. Do you think about it, how long did it take for them to start the incident?" These information are all public, Chen Jinlong Don't be afraid of them checking it out.

"Besides, if Pingzhou dares to send an army to the East China Sea, it will definitely not watch tens of thousands of soldiers being lost in the East China Sea. How can they not have a back-up? Just point to a grain route for shipping?"

Wen Hu touched his chin. That seemed to be the right thing to say.

"Just now I said that if you surrender to the imperial court, it's hard to get ahead. But surrendering to Pingzhou is different. They are a new force, and there are not so many carrots occupying the positions. As long as everyone works hard and dares to fight, they will have a chance to occupy a place in the power class of Pingzhou."

Wen Hu and the deputy village chief looked at each other. It seemed reasonable. Do they want to bet?

Chen Jinlong saw that the two were moved. He was secretly proud and was about to give the final blow to make this happen when Qin Sheng appeared.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Sheng asked.

In fact, he had heard everything just now, but too much is as bad as too little. He felt something was wrong and didn't want Chen Jinlong to continue talking, so he came out. It's not time to expose it now. It won't be too late to expose their identities after all the people in the White Tiger Village are on the boat. Otherwise, it will increase variables.

The three of them told the story in a few words.

After listening to this, Qin Sheng said, "Chen Jinlong, just contact your brothers and express our intention to surrender to Pingzhou."

"But we won't move for now. Danyang County is where the Jin Wang Mansion is located. The final battle between the imperial army and the Jin Wang army must be in Danyang County. Siping Mountain is a Feng Shui treasure land. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and bet on the situation."

Chen Jinlong laughed secretly. This is just an excuse for the Sixth Master to fool you. They must surrender to Pingzhou in the end.

Hearing this, Wen Hu and the deputy leader looked at him with different eyes.

Wen Hu and the deputy leader looked at each other, and the last trace of doubt was gone.

The two finally agreed to Qin Sheng's proposal, "Okay, let's do it!"

Later, Chen Jinlong realized that he was almost exposed. He couldn't help but pat himself twice. It was too smooth recently, so he was careless and his vigilance was lowered.
