Chapter 576: Distinguished Guests From Pingzhou

After capturing Gaoyou, they captured a total of two thousand imperial soldiers.

The next day, Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and others planned to see the prisoners captured last night.

Fu Lianheng was wearing handcuffs and leg cuffs. He noticed that the captured young generals, centurions, and thousands of captains, were all handcuffed and leg cuffed. There were also famous strongmen who were also handcuffed. They were handcuffed and legcuffed, and ordinary soldiers were tied with ropes.

He wondered in his heart that the generals in Pingzhou knew their team quite well.

When Qin Zhao and Guo Chong came in, Fu Lianheng and all the prisoners looked at them.

Almost all the captives were thinking anxiously, wondering how the generals in Pingzhou would deal with their captives?

Qin Zhao put down his robes, sat on the grand master's chair brought by his subordinates, and said straight to the point, "You prisoners must really want to know what you will face next, right?"

At this time, he took the tea brought by his own soldiers, took a sip gently, and then turned his attention to the prisoners, "You are soldiers of the Dali court. We are in Pingzhou. In the words of your emperor, It's rebellion. Last night on the battlefield, we were fighting against each other. We were enemies of life and death."

His words made the prisoners even more uneasy.

"You don't know how our Pingzhou treats Xianbei prisoners, right? Li Rong, talk to them." After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea.

The soldier next to him, Li Rong, immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "If we in Pingzhou capture ordinary herders from Xianbei Hulu, these people will be treated like prisoners."

"But for the Xianbei soldiers captured by us, no, there will be no such prisoners. We in Pingzhou will not keep such prisoners!"

These words were said with murderous intent, making the prisoners present feel a chill in their hearts for no reason. If you take no prisoners, don't you just send them all on the road?

This is how Pingzhou treats Xianbei soldiers, but what about them?

Qin Zhao took over at this time, "Although we have a hostile relationship, in general, we are all Han compatriots. We treat you differently from the Xianbei prisoners. As long as you stay safe, we won't kill you. ”

When the prisoners heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Huh, so to speak, their lives were saved. Isn’t it just peace of mind? They just do it to save their lives, and they don't want to risk it.

"But it's impossible for us to let you go. Because when we let you go and you ran away, when you turned around, the imperial court organized a group to come and beat us again. Aren't we looking for trouble?"

Fu Lianheng said that there was nothing wrong with that.

"We can't kill you, and we can't let you go. But let's keep you locked up for nothing. You have to eat and drink, right? We have a heavy burden for eating, drinking and defecating. And if you have been keeping your hands and feet tied so long, you probably won't be able to move either. Are you happy?"

The prisoners didn't say anything. In fact, they were quite happy to eat and drink for free, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"So, can you work for us for a period of time?" Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Do it for two months. When the time is up, we will let you go. Now I will give you one day to think about it. Tomorrow At this time——"

Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, someone in the group of prisoners shouted loudly, "I am willing to work!"

"I do too!"

"I also……"

The captives are all very positive, making jokes, and if they can save their lives, who wouldn't hurry up? Isn’t it just work? It’s like doing corvee service!

A smile flashed in Qin Zhao's eyes. After everyone gradually calmed down, he finally said, "We in Pingzhou are accustomed to be polite before fighting. I will trust you this time. Don't try to trick me. Otherwise, if you are found to be dishonest, you will suffer consequences." Wouldn’t want to know.”

Finally, Qin Zhao asked the people below to sneak out the prisoners who were willing to work. As for those who are unwilling to work, they only need a woofou and a bowl of water every day, as long as they are hungry to death.

They Pingzhou doesn't support idlers!

They did not kill their compatriots in Pingzhou, but they themselves were starved to death because of laziness, which is another story.

After returning from the prisoner camp, they were just about to eat when their subordinates reported that Bai Xingzhi had arrived.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at each other and said, "Please come in quickly! Forget it, let's go and greet you."

Bai Xingzhi was a little flattered to see that it was Qin Zhao and Guo Chong who came out to greet him in person this time.

The high-level officials in Pingzhou are really polite.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong: Don’t forget the well digger when you are drinking water.

As soon as the two parties met, after a brief greeting, Qin Zhao and others led him inside.

"Mr. Bai, have you eaten? If not, would you like to eat something with us?"

"I've eaten."

"You can have some more after you've eaten, Liu Liuxiao." Qin Zhao ignored his politeness and asked someone to bring him another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Bai Xingzhi had no choice but to take a seat. He took a look at the dishes and said with a smile, "Your food is pretty good."

"Yesterday we captured Gaoyou and replenished a batch of grain and grass." Qin Zhao said reservedly.

In fact, all the soldiers had extra meals today.

Bai Xingzhi was surprised when he heard this, and at the same time he had a new understanding of Pingzhou's strength. Pingzhou should capture Gaoyou very quickly, and it was unexpected, otherwise he would not have been able to seize the enemy's grain and grass.

After eating, Bai Xingzhi explained his purpose.

Qin Zhao was stunned. What, they want to win a whole city for nothing again? Is this Fucheng or Jiankang? !

Guo Chong was also surprised.

Qin Zhao came to his senses and grabbed Bai Xingzhi, "Thank you so much, King Jin! He always thinks of us in Pingzhou when good things happen! Mr. Bai, please tell King Jin that he will be our distinguished guest in Pingzhou from now on! We Pingzhou always welcomes him!”

Oh, my mother, what a good day is today? King Jin is such a good man!

"General Qin Zhao, please let go of my sleeves first, and let's talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Guo Chong on the side was well versed in the principle of following the stick when beating a snake. He immediately asked, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, should we go to hand over now or in the afternoon?"

"I'm not busy with this. General Qin Zhao and Military Advisor Guo, our prince decided to give Jiankang to you because he was under great pressure."

Qin Zhao heard Xian Zhiya's intention and said, "Yes, yes, we understand the prince's difficulties very well. Although Jiankang is flat on three sides and faces a river, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. But we like it very much!"

Bai Xingzhi: ...If you say that, how can I ask for a price?

Otherwise, he could just hold his nose and let Pingzhou give him some.

Guo Chong winked at Qin Zhao. This was not a one-and-done deal. They had to show some sincerity.

Although Jiankang was easy to attack and difficult to defend, they were able to win the city without spending a single soldier, which saved them a lot of effort!

Furthermore, they still hope that King Jin will have a city that cannot be defended next time. Bah, when he has a city that he does not want, they can still think about their Pingzhou.

Qin Zhao nodded vaguely.

So Guo Chong said, "Mr. Bai, we really understand what you mean. The King of Jin treats us in Pingzhou very kindly, and we are not blind wolves. But I personally think that what the King of Jin lacks is not gold, silver and jewelry. What is in your heart I can probably guess some of it, but ask yourself, will King Jin accept your plan?"

Guo Chong's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

When Bai Xingzhi heard the words, he thought for a moment and sighed slightly. With the prince's pride as a royal family, he was afraid that he would not be able to accept the path he had chosen for him.

"So, our return gift from Pingzhou is to solve the urgent need of King Jin!"

Bai Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, speaking in such a loud tone?

"In this way, we will go to Jiankang later. Take a look at the work we have done. If you are satisfied with it, we can help you do it too."

"Okay, here is the warrant. If you take it, you can enter the city smoothly."

Qin Zhao reached out to take the token, called Yue Shu, gave him the token, and asked him to order 12,000 soldiers and horses to take over Jiankang.

Yue Shu took the order and left.

When Qin Zhao issued the order, he did not shy away from Bai Xingzhi.

"You only sent 12,000 troops to garrison Jianping? Isn't that a little too little?"

Qin Zhao patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai. Since the prince has given Jiankang to us in Pingzhou, we will definitely defend the north for you! You can safely deploy heavy troops on the southwest and teach the imperial army a lesson."

An hour later, Qin Zhao sent Bai Xingzhi away, who was in a daze, and said, "Mr. Bai, we will visit you more often in the future."

Bai Xingzhi is a mascot. Every time he comes, he always brings benefits to them. I really hope to see you from time to time.

Guo Chong smiled and said, "You are thinking about his benefits, rather than really wanting to meet him, right?"

Qin Zhao: If we see through it but don’t tell it, we will still be in charge.
