Cai You also saw the Liangshan army retreating at this time, but when he saw Qiong Ying standing there motionless, he felt a little frightened.
He was really afraid of an ambush in Liangshan.
Cai You thought for a while and said, "The thieves retreated without being defeated.
This is obviously a trick to lure the troops.
We can't catch up easily to avoid being ambushed."
"Sir," Li Ming swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
When all five thousand cavalrymen turned around and slowly evacuated, Qiong Yingcai glanced at Cai You with disdain, then turned around and galloped away.
"This battle has been fought in vain," all the officers and generals thought in their hearts.
After Qiong Ying left, Cai You ordered the army to continue advancing. not long after "Report sir, we just found traces of the bandit army in the dense forest ahead, but they have all been withdrawn now," an army spy reported loudly.
After hearing what the spy said, Cai You felt happy at first, then straightened his waist a lot, and said in a pretentious manner, "I have already said that the bandit retreating without defeat must be a tactic to lure the enemy.
Hum, now How can you hide such a clumsy trick from me?"
The generals were stunned after hearing what the spies said, and then they looked at each other and said loudly, "Your Excellency is wise."
In fact, those who had just evacuated were only the 10,000 people who came to support Sun An and others.
Daming Mansion.
"Brother, the two of us were lucky enough to live up to our orders and capture a general from the army and return."
In the hall, Qiong Ying and Chi Mu Xiong came back to life.
"Well done," Lin Chong said happily to the two of them after learning about the situation.
This Qiong Ying really deserves to be called Qiong Yadong.
Both his force and adaptability are top-notch, which is really rare.
"You two have fought against Cai You, do you know something about him?"
Lin Chong asked.
"Brother, my younger sister thinks that Cai You is timid, lacks planning and decisiveness in military affairs, and is really mediocre."
Qiong Ying's evaluation of military mediocrity can be said to be extremely low, but in Qiong Ying's heart, the evaluation of mediocrity is considered high.
She actually wants to say that he is a waste.
"Hahaha, it's good to be mediocre.
The more mediocre you are, the better it is for us.
Song Huizong chose Cai You well."
After saying this, he laughed.
All the brothers thought so after hearing this, and they all laughed loudly. "" "Bring Duan Pengju up here," Lin Chong said to the outside after the brothers finished laughing.
Suddenly Duan Pengju, who was tied behind his back, was escorted in by two soldiers.
"Kneel down," the two soldiers pushed hard.
"Don't be rude to General Duan," Lin Chong stopped him softly.
"Untie General Duan," Lin Chong ordered the two soldiers.
"Yes."
Following Lin Chong's order, the two quickly untied the rope tied to Duan Pengju's hand.
When the rope was untied, Lin Chong hugged Duan Peng and said, "General Duan was shocked."
Duan Pengju moved his numb hands, then looked at Lin Chong in confusion, and asked suspiciously, "The captured people deserve to die, but the leader of the village, Lin Chong, treats them with courtesy."
"Hahaha" Lin Chong laughed.
"General Duan, may I ask if we have ever had any enmity before?"
Lin Chong asked.
"Master Lin Chong and I have never met, how can we have any hatred?"
Duan Pengju didn't know what Lin Chong meant by his question, so he replied truthfully.
Lin Chong nodded after hearing this, and then continued, "This time we are going to conquer Liangshan, but General Duan took the initiative to volunteer."
"No, it's just an order from the imperial court."
Duan Pengju was a little confused.

After hearing this, Lin Chong's smile grew stronger and he continued, "That's right.
You and I have no grievances.
You didn't come to Liangshan on purpose to cause trouble for me.
Everything you did was ordered by the imperial court.
As the saying goes, Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor, so the fault is not yours.
In this case, why should I kill General Duan?"
"Uh..."
Duan Pengju was speechless for a moment after hearing Lin Chong's reasons.
If what Lin Chong said was unreasonable, then everything he just said was reasonable.
But if Lin Chong is right, Duan Pengju always feels that something is wrong.
Lin Chong then said, "Does General Duan know about Yun Tianbiao and Tao Zhenting?"
"I really know that it was these two who led the troops to relieve the siege of Mengzhou, but they also ended in failure.
Now they have joined Liangshan," Duan Pengju replied.
"Does that general know Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, and Li Cheng?"
Lin Chong continued to ask.
Duan Pengju frowned after hearing this, and then replied, "I have also heard of these three people.
Dong Pingyuan is the Military Superintendent of Dongping Prefecture, Zhang Qing is the Military Superintendent of Dongchang Prefecture, and Li Cheng is the former Daming Prefecture Superintendent."
The soldiers and horses are all in charge, and now all three of them have joined forces in Liangshan."
Lin Chong laughed after hearing this: "General Ke Zhi Fengmei, Wang Huan, Li Congji, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming" Lin Chong said the names of six people in one breath.
"This" Duan Pengju didn't reply this time because he vaguely guessed what Lin Chong wanted to say.
The people Lin Chong mentioned just now were all former generals of the imperial court or military commanders from various places.
However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all joined Liangshan now.
Lin Chong looked at the hesitant Duan Pengju, and then said with a smile, "I think the general has already guessed what Lin wanted to express in his heart.
Yes, I, Lin Chong, cherish my talent and can't bear to harm the general, so I deliberately recruited him to surrender.
However, I am afraid that the general will not be able to think about things, so I will tell you the names of several brothers in order to let General Duan know what kind of person I, Lin Chong, am, and what kind of people my Liangshan brothers are.
The court and ministers have many prejudices against us, but the people's eyes are sharp.
If the general has any doubts, he can go to the several cities now controlled by me in Liangshan and see with his own eyes the lives of the people and their What they say about me, the people in Liangshan Now that the world is in chaos, it is the time for our generation of warriors to make contributions.
I, Lin Chong, hope that the general can help me."
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he raised his fists and saluted Duan Peng.
In fact, it stands to reason that with Lin Chong's current status, there is no need to be so humble to recruit a prisoner.
But as the saying goes, a thousand gold buys horse bones.
You must know that Duan Pengju is not the only one who comes with Cai You this time.
If Lin Chong could make Duan Peng surrender with all his heart, then it would be much easier to recruit other generals to surrender in the future.
As the territory continued to expand, Lin Chong felt more and more that his manpower was somewhat insufficient.
Duan Pengju was greatly shocked after hearing what Lin Chong said.
Although he was also the military supervisor of a state, he knew in his heart that he was far inferior compared with Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Yun Tianbiao, Feng Mei and others.
Not a tiny bit.
Even Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Qin Ming, Wang Huan and others are stronger than themselves.
"I've heard about the benevolence and righteousness of Master Linzhai for a long time, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today.
If Master Linzhao doesn't think Duan is incompetent, Duan will be willing to surrender and join Liangshan, and from then on he will be a pawn in Master Linzhai's account."
After saying this, Duan Pengju was deeply moved by Lin Chong.
