Wang Huan and Li Congji were surprised when they saw Lin Chong personally untying them.
Wang Huan said, "The captured people deserve to die.
Why is the leader so polite?"
Lin Chong untied the rope for the two of them and said with a smile, "Lin has heard of the reputation of the two generals for a long time.
Today's battle is for self-protection and is a last resort.
I think the two generals must have heard about what kind of people we, the Liangshan brothers, are.
Although we are called grass bandits, we have never done anything harmful to nature, and we have great admiration for heroes.
Therefore, although we have captured two generals today, we cannot bear to harm them and can only wrong them," Lin Chong said pretending to be sad.
After hearing this, the two of them were filled with shame.
How could they be heroes when they were already captured?
They looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
They only heard Li Congji say, "I have always heard people say that the leader is righteous, but when I saw him today, it turned out not to be so."
"Fake, I was captured today.
I should have died to repay the emperor's favor, but I didn't want the leader to be so loyal, that's all, that's all, Li Congji is willing to surrender."
After saying this, he bowed to Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Congji up, then turned to look at Wang Huan.
Wang Huan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, then he also gave Lin Chong a fist and said, "Wang Huan is willing to surrender."
"Hahahahaha, it is a blessing for our army to have two generals join us.
Come and give us seats for the two generals," Lin Chong happily ordered loudly.
In fact, among the two of them, the only one Lin Chong really cared about was veteran Wang Huan, and Li Congji was just the icing on the cake.
Not to mention that Liangshan was laughing and celebrating in the Juyi Hall, but that Gao Qiu seemed to have fled back to Jeju even if he didn't die.
Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jeju, ordered the city gates to be closed after Gao Qiu led the army away.
Generally, the city gates would be closed during battles, mainly to prevent enemy troops from sneak attacks.
Zhang Shuye was sitting in the government office while Gao Qiu led the army to fight.
He didn't know what the situation was.
Although the first day was mainly about testing, if he could win a game, it would be very helpful for morale.
Just as Zhang Shuye was sitting there thinking wildly, a guard ran in in a panic and shouted, "Report to your lord, Captain Gao was defeated and fled back, and now he has entered the city."
"What, Captain Gao was defeated and fled back?"
Zhang Shuye was horrified after hearing this.
How could he be defeated so quickly?
Zhang Shuye didn't have time to ask in detail, so he hurriedly ran out the door.
As soon as he got there, he saw Gao Qiu walking towards him with a embarrassed look on his face.
There was no general following him, only a few personal soldiers.
"The little man meets the great man."
Zhang Shuye hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Gao Qiu felt relieved when he returned to the city.
When he saw Zhang Shuye saluting, he just said a cold "hmm" and walked into the house.
Zhang Shuye knew that Gao Qiu was in a bad mood and hurriedly followed him in.
Gao Qiu entered the hall, swept away the tea cups on the table, and said bitterly, "It's a shame that Guan Sheng Hu Yanzhuo didn't want to serve the court, but surrendered to the bandits.
This time, he used the advantage of the chain horse to fight against the army.
"It's really abominable.
When I break Liangshan and capture these two people, I will have to cut their bodies into thousands of pieces to relieve my hatred."
"My lord, please calm down.
Victory and defeat are normal matters for military officers.
Heroes are not judged by one battle.

The Liangshan bandits were just lucky enough to have been well prepared for the battle and had a favorable location.
When your Majesty reorganizes his army and horses in the future, and advances by land and water, he will be able to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop and avenge today's revenge."
Zhang Shuye hurriedly spoke to comfort Gao Qiu, also to give Gao Qiu a step down and avoid him being embarrassed in front of him.
In fact, when Zhang Shuye saw that only Gao Qiu had escaped, he was secretly worried that the 150,000-strong army would lose 10,000 before it could all be gathered.
Today they returned from the battle with a heavy defeat.
The specific losses are still unknown, but even if the officers and soldiers were able to escape one after another later, the losses must be considerable.
The most important thing is that after such a defeat, the morale of the officers and soldiers will be greatly affected.
The next time they face the bandits again, there will inevitably be a shadow in their hearts, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army.
In the evening, officers and soldiers finally began to escape one after another.
The next morning, Gao Qiu ordered people to count the losses in yesterday's battle.
After the results were tallied, Gao Qiu's face twitched as he looked at the statistics.
Mei Zhan and Xiang Yuanzhen were killed in battle, Wang Huan and Li Congji were captured, and more than 40,000 soldiers and horses were lost.
Looking at these figures one by one, Gao Qiu's heart couldn't help but sink.
A disastrous defeat, really a disastrous defeat, Gao Qiu thought in his heart.
In this battle alone, including the 10,000 people Xu Jing lost before, the official army dropped from the original 150,000 to less than 100,000, and the military strength was directly reduced by one-third.
Gao Qiu shook his head and said to the generals who escaped below, "Although our army was defeated in this battle, we still have a hundred thousand troops.
It is more than enough to wipe out Liangshan.
After the generals go down, they will first appease the soldiers and improve their morale.
After a few days, The morale of the heavenly army has been restored, and when the time comes, they will advance both by land and water, and conquer Liangshan Po in one fell swoop."
"I'll wait for the order," all the generals below replied together.
"Lin Chong, don't be complacent yet.
When my army recovers, I will definitely level your Liangshan Mountains."
Gao Qiu waited for everyone to go down, and he swore secretly there.
For ten consecutive days, there was no fighting between the two sides.
It was very peaceful, but everyone knew that behind this strange calm, a violent storm was coming.
On this day, Gao Qiu gathered all his generals to discuss matters, with only one purpose, to conquer Liangshan in one fell swoop.
Gao Qiu said, "I have decided to attack Liangshan in three days.
This time we will advance by land and water, and a hundred thousand troops will be dispatched."
"Liu Menglong" Gao Qiu began to order generals.
For this battle, Gao Qiu and several close generals studied carefully for several days and finally formulated a satisfactory plan.
"The end will be here" "I order you to lead ten thousand naval troops to conquer Liangshan by water.
At that time, I will personally lead two generals, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong, and five thousand officers and soldiers to fight with you."
Since Gao Qiu was frightened by the ambush from all sides last time, he had some doubts about taking the land route, so he chose to take the water route with Liu Menglong.
"The last general takes command," Liu Menglong replied confidently.
"Wang Wende, Zhang Kai ordered you two to be the vanguard.
In order to prevent the thieves from using the chain horse again, you two will set up more carriages in front of the formation to block the impact of the chain horse."
Gao Qiu took great pains this time and even blocked the chain horse.
All methods were figured out together.
"Yes," the two men stood up and said in unison.
"Yang Wen, I order you to lead the left wing of the army, Han Cunbao, I order you to lead the right wing of the army."
Gao Qiuzhi then arranged the candidates for the two wings.
"The last general takes the order."
The two of them were unambiguous and took the order directly.
"Jing Zhong, I ordered you to be the rear ally of our army and ensure the safety of my army's rear."
After the last defeat, Jing Zhong knew that Liangshan was not easy to deal with, so he secretly sent money to Gao Qiu a few days ago in order to help him arrange his troops.

Gao Qiu got the benefit of being taken care of when setting up the formation, and directly ordered Jing Zhong to stay behind the army.
When Jing Zhong heard that Gao Qiu asked him to join the army, he was secretly happy.
It seemed that the money was of good use.
He thought about it and stood up to accept the order and "obey the order."
"Fengmei, Bi Sheng, I have ordered you two to serve as the central army, command several others, and have full command of land operations.
Remember, in order to prevent being ambushed like last time, you must send more spies when marching, especially in this area where there are many woods.
In the woods on both sides of the road, more people should be sent to check to avoid being ambushed again."
"Don't worry, sir.
The general will definitely send more people to investigate.
I guarantee that we will not take it lightly and will never fall into the bandits' schemes again."
The two of them stood up together and replied.
Gao Qiu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, this is the plan.
Everyone returns to camp to prepare.
The army will go out in three days.
We must capture Liangshan in one battle."
"We will follow you to the death and conquer Liangshan," everyone stood up and shouted back.
After hearing this, Gao Qiu had a smile on his face and thought to himself, "Lin Chong, I want to see where you run this time."
As soon as there was any movement in the official camp here, the Liangshan spies who were observing in secret discovered it and hurried back to report it.
Everyone gathered here in the Juyi Hall, including Wang Huan and Li Congji who had just surrendered.
Since the two surrendered that day, Lin Chong sent people down the mountain overnight to pick up the two children.
It is estimated that by this time, the two children were already on their way.
Because of this, the two of them became even more determined.
Serve sincerely.
"I just received a report from a spy, saying that the army camp is frequently moving, and it seems that they are preparing to attack again."
Lin Chong briefly told everyone the news he had just received.
"Great, Gao Qiu, the thief, can't stand it anymore."
Xu Ning was the most excited when he heard that Gao Qiu was going to join the army.
The other brothers were all happy after hearing this, only Wang Huan seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Chong stood up and said, "Gao Qiu's advance was within our expectations and we had already made arrangements.
According to reports from spies, the naval forces of the officers and soldiers also made moves this time.
I think Gao Qiu must have wanted to advance by land and water together with us."
It’s just right to have a decisive battle, and it saves us a lot of trouble.”
At this point, Lin Chong stopped, looked at Li Jun and other navy leaders below, and said, "This water battle is the first time that our Liangshan navy goes out.
You must know that the opponent has ten thousand sailors, and there may be more."
How about more, I don’t know how prepared the brothers are."
Li Jun stood up, showed a confident smile, and said, "Brother, don't worry, not to mention that the official army only has 10,000 sailors, even if there are tens of thousands more, our brothers are confident to annihilate the enemy."
Don’t forget, these 800 miles of water are our main battlefield.
No one knows better than us where we can hide people, where we can sail boats, and where we can set up formations, so let me and all the brothers take a look.”
"Okay, what I want is your momentum.
Remember, it doesn't matter whether others live or die, but if Gao Qiu is on the boat, he must not be allowed to run away.
Not only can't he run away, I also want to live.
I must Thank him very much.”
Lin Chong thought that it was written in the book that the last time Gao Qiu attacked Liangshan, he accompanied the navy, and was later thrown into the river by Zhang Shun and captured alive, so he gave this order to Li Jun.
"Don't worry, brother, as long as Gao Qiu dares to come out of the water, I will definitely capture him alive."
"Haha, okay, brother, I can rest assured."
