Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sweeping Qingzhou

"Meng Haigong, Meng Rang, you have been surrounded by our army, hurry up and surrender, read that you only looted some large households, did not hurt the population and did not impact the government, the prince said, as long as you surrender, it will surround your life, and if you are willing to change, the prince said that it is okay to listen to it under his account." Qin Qiong said to the Meng brothers who were surrounded in the stockade.

After Yang Jin's memorial to the martyrs, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Jin Yu and Cheng Zhijie gathered their troops and horses to sweep away the rebels in Qingzhou. And Yang Jin also wanted to lead the troops by letting them lead the troops alone

"Big brother, what should we do?" Meng Rang was very anxious when he saw that the village was surrounded. "Why don't we rush out and fight them? We have more than 50,000 people, but they are only more than 10,000 people, and it is not certain who will kill the deer. ”

"No! Don't you see that they still have thousands of cavalry? These cavalry are enough to give us a headache, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 foot soldiers to cooperate, and we can only be sent to death when we go out. Meng Haigong said, after all, these more than 10,000 people are officers and soldiers, and if the bandit army is at the same time, it will be different.

"What then? You can't rush out, you can't wait to die! Meng Rang still looked anxious.

"Actually, we still have a way to live." Meng Haigong said faintly.

"What's the way to live?" Meng Rang asked.

"Didn't that young general say that as long as we surrender, we will be spared death, and we brothers will not have to die." Meng Haigong said, but he was still guessing how true what Qin Qiong said.

"Surrender? Is it possible that we will survive? Look at Wang Bo's fate, isn't he still beheaded? Meng Rang questioned.

"That's what I said, but don't forget that we are not the same as Wang Bo, we only rob wealth, do not hurt people's lives, and more importantly, we do not collide with the government, which is enough for us to live. And the young general also said that as long as we sincerely take refuge, then there will still be a chance to be reused. I believe that the character of that prince, since he can dare to risk going out of the city to save the lives of thousands of displaced people, then at least it shows that he is not a cruel person, and it can also be said that he is a benevolent prince, at least for now. We can give it a try, even if it turns out to be wrong in the end, what is the difference between dying now and dying later? Meng Haigong made a general analysis of the situation and thought that the result of surrender would be better.

"Have you thought about it yet, your grandfather Cheng's hands are already itchy, and the lance in his hand has already wanted to open the meat." Cheng Yanjin still looked grumpy, and after waiting for a while, he was impatient.

Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Jin Yu looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't stop it, someone sang red-faced, then someone had to sing black-faced.

"Okay, let's just decide, people can't wait, it seems that they are the first to come to us, which means that we are still of some use to them, and they should be fine." Meng Haigong patted Meng Rang's shoulder, as if comforting him.

However, Ren Rang guessed correctly, Qin Qiong's plan was to take the knife that they were more likely to be subdued first. Then it will have an effect on the other rebels, reducing and breaking the determination of those die-hards to resist.

Qin Qiong successfully surrendered the Meng brothers by recruiting them, and used this as a signal and example to recruit He Xiaode. When recruiting He Xiaode, it was relatively smooth, he didn't guess like the Meng brothers, and after hearing that the Meng brothers were surrendered, he was also very cooperative in recruiting and surrendering, and he didn't let them spend much talk.

Jin Yu sent a deputy to lead 5,000 men and horses to escort these soldiers back to Licheng, and he stayed behind to follow Qin Qiong and his party to continue to sweep the rebels all over Qingzhou, although he also knew that he could not get Yang Xuan's special care like these three, so it would be good to have the opportunity to communicate more together, at least these few will not forget themselves when they are developed in the future, and one of these few is the prince's beloved apprentice, and the other is brought out by General Li, so it is not wrong to learn more.

"Okay, since the Meng brothers and He Xiaode have already surrendered, then Wu Hailiu and Zhen Baoche are left, presumably they will not surrender, what we have to deal with is their more than 50,000 men and horses, now let's discuss how to sweep them away." After successfully recruiting two rebels, Qin Qiong held a small pre-war meeting.

"Whatever he does, isn't it over if he kills him directly? Lao Cheng, my hands have been itching for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to kill without paying for a lawsuit. Cheng Yanjin said in a loud voice.

Hearing this, Qin Qiong glanced at him and said, "Do you think this is playing?" There are still nearly 50,000 people on the other side, and we still have 8,000 people left, just like you, you can't directly kill the past and give everyone an account to this land? The prince named you Zhijie, do you know what it means? How can you still be as reckless as before! ”

"Okay, Uncle Bao, don't be angry, biting gold is just a hurry, the first time you go to the battlefield, you will always have this general mood. And the prince also knew that this battle was not difficult, otherwise he would not have let a few of us come over with such a small number of troops, and the prince obviously wanted to train the troops. "Jin Yu is a relatively calm and experienced person, and he can understand Yang Yong's plans.

"That's right, Brother Qin, the enemy is no longer to worry about, but Master once said that we must attach importance to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically, we will win this battle, but we must also minimize the price we have to pay." Luo Shixin is now learning and selling.

"I understand! The prince is clearly giving us a stage for free development this time, so we must sing this own drama well. I've been thinking about how to minimize our casualties, let's discuss this together, but it won't work to kill the past, we need to use our brains, don't blindly do everything, now it's a rabble of rebels, so I can't tell what kind of characters we will meet in the future. Qin Qiong said in a serious tone. It seems that he already has an overall strategic vision, which makes him able to fight evenly when he meets the military genius of Li Shimin's camp in the future, and not lose a cent!

In the end, one of the results of the discussion between the four of them was to let out the news of the surrender of the Meng brothers and He Xiaode, and then let Wu Hailiu and Zhen Baoche unite and deploy slowly, preparing to complete the battle, not wanting to delay it for too long, and not wanting to run around so troublesomely. Otherwise, if those rebels burrow into the deep mountains and old forests, they will be in trouble.

Sure enough, after Wu Hailiu and Zhen Baoche got the news, they immediately joined forces to seek to fight the enemy together. Qin Qiong and the others attacked after they got that they had already converged, of course, they still used the old method - bluffing. More than 3,000 cavalry insisted on making the effect of 30,000 cavalry, which frightened the rebels into dispersion, and then used various tactics to break through the rebel defenses, using 3,000 cavalry as the sword edge, driving straight in, and beheading Zhen Baoche and Wu Hailiu.

Of course, Qin Qiong gave this opportunity to Cheng Yanjin and Luo Shixin. One has just joined Yang Yong's account and needs military merits, and although the other is Yang Jun's beloved apprentice, he is almost blank in terms of military merits. However, he and Jin Yu are different, one is the first merit of the Battle of Changbai Mountain and the great merit of killing Wang Bo, and the other is the merit of defending the city and the merit left by the battle of Licheng and the decisive battle.

At this point, Qin Qiong and others came out for less than half a month, and they went to various places in Qingzhou, surrendered rebels, war thieves, swept away the remnants of the rebels in Qingzhou, and laid a solid foundation for the stability of Qingzhou.

On the day of triumph, Yang Hui led the civil and military officials and hundreds of people out of the city to greet him, and the scale was not small. First, it is to prove that he attaches great importance to the stability of Qingzhou, and it is the advertising effect, so that all the people know the reputation of Qin Qiong and others, and also let all the people know that their safety and stability will be guarded by a group of soldiers. In the end, of course, it makes them feel that they will definitely live a happy life under the leadership of their own prince.
