When Qin Zhao saw Sun Congyi, he knew that Sun's army had returned to Pingzhou. Their governor really pulled Sun Jiajun into his own bowl.

They were the first to welcome them.

Then, Qin Zhao and Guo Chong both looked at Lin Shan, and Lin Shan's ugly face was not concealed at all.

"Deputy Gang Leader Lin, what's going on?" Qin Zhao asked with concern.

"My father-in-law Wang Juntao was detained by Xie Zhan in Huiji Juzhang County."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was surprised.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong glanced at each other.

Lin Shan sighed and told them, "Due to the strong interference of the imperial court, our Cao Gang will not be able to transport any more items for you in Pingzhou, including grain and grass. ”

This is also the reason why he deliberately got off the boat to see Qin Zhao, he always had to tell him, and at the same time, let them prepare early.

Qin Zhao waved his hand, "These are all trivial matters. ”

Immediately afterwards, he said with concern, "Is the master of the Wang Gang okay?" ”

Lin Shan's heart warmed, "If we follow Xie Dudu's request to do it, our lives will be safe." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Then, Lin Shan seemed to have made up his mind, "If you are in need, I can ask someone else to help you transport a batch of grain and grass, but the amount cannot be too large." ”

In Lin Shan's view, for Qin Zhao, the expeditionary force in Pingzhou, the supply of grain and grass was very important.

Now that Sun Congyi has sent a group of soldiers over, it is estimated that the grain and grass will be even tighter.

Qin Zhao shook his head, "Let's solve this matter ourselves, there's no need to bother others." "And Xie Zhan will definitely not leave them with holes to drill.

Guo Chong on the side agreed with Qin Zhao's refusal, Lin Shan may have helped out of kindness, but he didn't blame them for being careful, it was really that no one else had cooperated, so he couldn't believe it. I'm afraid that Xie Zhan has prepared their grain and grass in his pocket.

After this matter was said, Lin Shan took his leave, and he was really in no mood to continue staying.

After Lin Shan left, Qin Zhao asked Sun Congyi how many soldiers and horses were left before Sun's army switched to Pingzhou.

Hearing the number told by Sun Congyi, Qin Zhao nodded, there are still forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and the situation is not the worst.

Qin Zhao asked some more questions, because Sun Jiajun's days of defecting to Pingzhou were still short, and he didn't know much.

Therefore, after learning about the recent situation in Pingzhou, they then talked about the news brought by Lin Shan just now.

Guo Chong said with a smile, "Governor Xie wants to cut off our supply of grain and grass and catch turtles in the urn." ”

Qin Zhao snorted, "Isn't this the lice on the monk's head—is it obvious?" The abacus beads hit me in the face. But he, Xie Zhan, wants to swallow our expeditionary force? I'm not afraid to jump my teeth! ”

Sun Congyi on the side kept his ears open to listen to them, he had just heard that the Cao Gang couldn't help them transport grain and grass, and he didn't see them talking about solutions, and his heart tightened.

Sun Congyi thought to himself, it's only been a few good days, are they going to tighten their belts again?

So he asked tentatively, "Third Brother Qin, is there enough food and grass for our expeditionary force?" If it's not enough, how can I solve it? ”

"What, worried about being hungry?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm worried." Sun Congyi said bluntly.

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled like a fox, "Don't worry, I won't let you and your soldiers go hungry." ”

"Grain and grass, we have. Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability. ”

Sun Congyi rolled up his sleeves, with an expression of 'if you want to talk about this, I won't be sleepy'.

"Second Brother Qin, you can make a move."

Jokes, fighting skills, they Sun Jiajun has not been afraid of anyone. What he brought out this time is all good hands.

Looking at his unruly appearance, Qin Zhao thought to himself that it was good that he could still maintain his youthful spirit after going through hardships.

"By the way, the governor asked me to bring a letter before I left." Sun Congyi suddenly remembered this, so he took it out and handed it to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong read the letter one after another, and then when they looked at each other, they both found incredible looks on each other's faces.

"Can it still be like this?"

"The governor said yes, it should be okay, right?"

"Then adjust the combat strategy."

At this moment, the guards at the city gate came to report, "General, military advisor, there is a person outside the city gate, saying that Bai Xingzhi, under the command of King Jin, wants to see you." ”

In vain? Isn't that the wisdom of King Jin? What is he here for?

Qin Zhao didn't know why.

Guo Chong was thoughtful.

"Ask him to come in." Qin Zhao felt that he could listen to the other party's intentions first.

When Bai Xingzhi was invited in, only Qin Zhao and Guo Chong were left in the conference hall. Yue Shu went to inspect the barracks, and Sun Congyi went to settle the army because the garrison of the army he led was demarcated.

After Bai Xingzhi came in, he glanced at the two of them without a trace.

After a brief greeting between the two sides, Bai Xingzhi went directly to the topic and said to Qin Zhao that their King Jin was willing to make friends with Pingzhou, and in order to show his sincerity, he was willing to give Qu Tao to Pingzhou.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong glanced at each other, there was no meat hanging on their mouths, they had endured it for so long and hadn't eaten it, and now they actually took the initiative to run to their mouths.

They had previously analyzed that the King of Jin, who only had 50,000 soldiers and horses left, could not hold the four counties of the East China Sea, and could only actively or passively shrink the battle line in the end.

Now it seems that King Jin is planning to take the initiative to shrink the front.

Smart approach.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, since King Jin is sincere, then we will be disrespectful. On behalf of our Governor, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. ”

Bai Xingzhi held the tea in his hand, he was ready to thank him three times, and now he didn't need it.

"General Qin Zhao is polite."

"Mr. Bai, does King Jin often worry about Xie Zhan and the others?" Qin Zhao asked.

"That's definitely upsetting."

"Mr. Bai, the sincerity of the King of Jin, we in Pingzhou feel it, there is nothing to repay, if the King of Jin is upset about Xie Zhan, we can send troops to teach him a lesson!"

The corners of Bai Xingzhi's mouth couldn't help twitching, is this Pingzhou so unpolite? The current location of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force is in the north of the East China Sea, and Xie Zhan is currently in Huiji, that is, the south of the East China Sea, and the territory in the middle is the Jin king's.

In other words, if the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force wants to fight Xie Zhan, it has to borrow the road or take the separated territory.

"Well, let's see." Haha.

Qin Zhao nodded, and also knew that the King of Jin was still reluctant to give them so many cities in Pingzhou for nothing.

Next, Bai Xingzhi asked the people of the King of Jin to withdraw from Qutao and handed over Qutao to Pingzhou to take over.

When Bai Xingzhi saw the Pingzhou soldiers planting the big flag with the word 'Ping' on the city, he sighed in his heart.

After the matter was done, Bai Xingzhi took away the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Qutao.

Before parting, Qin Zhao and Bai Xingzhi said, "Mr. Bai, we in Pingzhou have accepted your gifts. You go back and tell Lord Jin that you will be our good friends in Pingzhou in the future, and our Pingzhou is usually very generous to friends. You can look forward to it. ”

A little later, when Sun Congyi learned the news, he was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that with just one meal, they would get a city in Pingzhou without a single soldier?

Why is the war in Pingzhou so smooth?
