After Tong Guan listened, his expression was cold, he slapped the bookcase in front of him, and shouted: "Bold thief, dare to surrender in front of this minister." How can such a trick be hidden from me? Someone! Push them all out and cut them down! ”

Hearing the order, the soldiers standing on both sides immediately rushed over and aimed their knives and guns at Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo.

Qin Ming's face was full of astonishment.

Qin Ming, who reacted, shouted loudly: "Lord Cardinal, the villain is not a fraud. It's sincere, and you want to be obedient anyway. ”

Tong Guan sneered: "I heard that the thief is righteous and squanders money, and he specializes in strengthening the heroes of the world, but everyone who takes refuge is respectful." Now you are saying that you are willing to do it anyway, isn't it bluffing? Then we may join forces with the thief from the inside out, and fight against my army. ”

Qin Ming shouted loudly: "My lord, the villain is originally an officer and soldier, what good is it to take refuge in that grass coward." And the Liangshan thieves are not more than 10,000 soldiers, and now the cardinal minister is leading 50,000 soldiers, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the cardinal minister is even more familiar with the art of war, invincible, invincible. That Shi Jin was stubborn and self-serving, he didn't know what to do, and he tried to stubbornly resist, didn't he hit the stone with an egg and bring about his own destruction? How could the villain be so unwise to continue to follow those thieves. ”

Hu Yanzhuo struggled even more excitedly, and shouted loudly: "Lord Cardinal, the villain is not a spy. The villain was humiliated by the thief, and he wanted to kill them all up. Adults and villains know that the loss of soldiers is an unforgivable sin. The adult wants the life of the villain, and the villain has nothing to complain about. But the villain only hopes that the adults will give him a chance to let the villain be a vanguard soldier, even if he dies, the villain also hopes that before he dies, he will have the opportunity to slash Shi Jin's thief, so that he will be ashamed! ”

Han Tao and Peng Xi also hurriedly begged for mercy.

Seeing Hu Yanzhuo's excited look, I heard him mention Shi Jin's majestic and resentful look.

Tong Guanyi stretched out his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stop first.

Tong Guan's glittering gaze was firmly fixed on Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo, and the expressions on their faces did not show any fakeness.

After a while, Tong Guan's face softened, and he ordered the soldiers to let Hu Yanzhuo go and asked, "General Qin, you have been in Liangshan for a long time, I don't know how many soldiers that thief still has now, and how long can the grain and grass last?" ”

Qin Ming heard this and said respectfully: "Lord Minister, that thief is holding the people hostage, although it is claimed that there are fifteen thousand people, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only five or six thousand people who can really fight. And there are not many people who sincerely follow the thief leader Shi Jin, most of them are intimidated and coerced by him. As for the grain and grass, because of the repeated conquest of villages and cities, there is quite a lot of grain and grass, which can support the army for half a year! ”

Hearing Qin Ming say that there were fifteen thousand soldiers and horses in Liangshan, but the real soldiers and horses were only five or six thousand, Tong Guan nodded, which was in line with the situation of the thief.

In order to show their strength and scare those weak van soldiers and forbidden troops, the bandits and bandits tried their best to exaggerate their strength. In order to bluff people, as long as they can move, no matter the old, weak, sick or disabled, they will be pulled in to act as a human head.

When it comes time to really fight, you still have to rely on those young and strong.

It's just that the thief Kou that Qin Ming said has enough grain and grass, which can last for half a year. Tong Guan frowned.

The Western Army fought bravely, but they were not good at water warfare.

It seems that it is necessary to lure them into a decisive battle and defeat them in one fell swoop in order to eradicate this gang of thieves. Otherwise, it will be a trouble for them to escape into the water.

After quietly making a test, Tong Guan still couldn't find anything wrong with Qin Ming's gang.

Tong Guan said: "This appearance will give you a chance." Summoned, weave them all into your subordinates, and treat them well! ”

Haosheng treated these words, Tong Guan stared at Yumei and said aggravatedly.

Yumei hurriedly arched her hand and said: "It's Lord Minister, the villain understands!" ”

Although Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo were incorporated into the Yumei army, Tong Guan didn't fully believe them, nearly three hundred people were settled in the left camp, their weapons were all put away, and there were three thousand forbidden troops around them.

In the evening, Qin Ming and the others had just come to return to Shun, and Tong Guan didn't trust it, so of course it was not their turn to be on duty at night.

Although they didn't know each other before, they all escaped from the same hardship, and now they are almost under house arrest, Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo have nothing to do, so they naturally gather in a camp tent to chat.

After chatting a few words, Qin Ming saw that there was no one left and right, took out a pot of wine from his arms, and as soon as he opened the wine stopper, the strong aroma of wine suddenly spread.

Hu Yanzhuo smelled it and couldn't help asking, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

Qin Ming said indifferently: "That Liangshan is boring to death, that is, this burning knife is a bit of a taste." This jug of wine was made by me before I escaped. Anyway, it's okay now, let's drink some to relieve boredom! ”

Although Hu Yanzhuo escaped, he was also a little depressed when he thought of his future future. Qin Ming said that drinking, that was also exactly what he wanted.

Throughout the ages, although alcohol has been banned in the military, there is often no way to completely ban it.

For example, when you win a battle, you have to drink to celebrate.

The generals have made war exploits, and they should be rewarded with wine.

What's more, the death squad from ancient times to the present day still has to drink a bowl of Zhuangxing wine before going to the battlefield?

Where does this wine come from?

Therefore, the prohibition of alcohol is more on the surface, not to mention that under the rule of Tong Guan, who is not strict in military discipline, the prohibition of alcohol is even more useless.

There is not much wine in a pot, plus it is in the military camp, so I don't dare to show it, so I ask my subordinates to stare outside, and everyone can drink a few sips to satisfy their hunger!

The burning knife is a strong drink, even if it is a few sips, it still makes people feel drunk.

Wine into the bowels, sorrow even more!

Qin Ming was already a little depressed, and this wine made him even more worried.

"I originally thought that Tong Guan was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that he was also a visionless guy. Don't hide it from Brother Yan, I originally wanted to save you, and then I was appreciated by Tong Guan, looking forward to earning a future with my own skills, but now I am not treated by him. You said that we were captured by thieves and had a dishonorable experience, so what way out do we have in the future! ”

Qin Ming's worries are also where Hu Yanzhuo's depression lies. He drank the little wine in the cup in one gulp and said, "Don't say it, you are better, you still have some soldiers in your hands." But brother, what about me, now that this bit of family wealth is completely gone, I am also suffering from that great shame. Brother, I am not valued by others anymore, and I can't see a way out? ”

Qin Ming shouted with the same feeling: "Hey, they are all hard-working people. Drink! Drink! ”

Qin Ming immediately poured another glass of wine for Hu Yanzhuo.

After Qin Ming drank all the wine, he shouted, "Hey! I knew that this Tong Guan was so eye-catching, and Lao Tzu wouldn't come! It's good that you can still be at ease in the mountains and not be looked down upon. Where do you want to be here, you are guarded like a thief. I'm so angry! ”

When Hu Yanzhuo heard Qin Ming's complaint, he was immediately frightened and woke up most of the time, and he said again and again: "Brother Qin, be careful!" If these words are heard and reach the ears of the cardinal, I am afraid that there will be a great disaster! Now that the army is approaching, then Liangshan will be kicked flat by the cardinal lord in a few days. It is also a wise move for Qin Ming to recognize it as soon as possible! ”

Qin Ming sighed and said, "I know, I know, otherwise why would I be in Song anyway!" It's not that Liangshan is wiped out, so he escaped early. Hey, you say, do we still have a future like this? ”

Hu Yanzhuo also sighed and said: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to wear this official robe, and I will live like this in this life." If you want to change this situation, the only way to do this is to fight against the gang of thieves in Liangshan, fight to the death, earn a few military merits, and maybe have a bright day! ”

Qin Ming nodded and said, "That's the only way!" ”

What Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo didn't know was that when they went back to sleep after drinking, a figure appeared in the camp of the Chinese army commander, explaining their words to Tong Guan word for word.

After listening to this, Tong Guan didn't care about Qin Ming's complaints at all.

With such treatment, it is normal to complain, and it is abnormal not to complain.

Qin Ming's complaints and Hu Yanzhuo's lamentations made Tong Guan even more convinced that Qin Ming was sincere.

Two days later, the catapult that Ling Zhen was in charge of improving was finally completed.

Tong Guan immediately ordered the army to go out to encircle and suppress Liangshan.

Hearing the spies report that Tong Guan's army had finally moved, Shi Jin, who had been near Juancheng for three days, also ordered the Liangshan army to go out to meet the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

A big war between the two armies is about to break out!
