Lin Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "If it hadn't been for the request of all the brothers, I would not have spared you so lightly.
Tieniu wouldn't thank you so much."
After listening to Lin Chong's words, Li Kui grinned, and then said loudly to the brothers, "I, Tieniu, thank you all brothers."
Everyone saw that Lin Chong let Li Kui go, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Wu Yong stood there with a smile on his face.
"Brother, what should we do with the three captured generals?"
Mu Hong asked aloud.
Lin Chong smiled and then said to Duan Pengju on the side, "Brother Duan, you and these three people once had colleagues.
I don't know what you think of these three people."
When Duan Pengju heard Lin Chong's question, he stood up and replied, "Brother, I don't know, but among these three people, Chen Zhu is the military commander of Zhengzhou.
He is loyal and capable, and has high prestige in the Zhengzhou army.
Wang Yi was the Superintendent of the Army and Horses of Dengzhou.
He was an upright man with a fiery temperament and had a very good reputation in the army.
The last one is named Ma Wanli.
Ma Wanli is the queen of the generals, but his family has fallen into disgrace, so he only became the military commander of Zhenzhou.
He is very capable, knows military affairs, and is good at training troops.
He is also a powerful person."
After listening to this, Lin Chong had a preliminary understanding of these three people.
"That's very good.
I am determined to surrender these three people.
I wonder if my brother can persuade them for me," Lin Chong said to Duan Pengju.
When Duan Pengju heard that Lin Chong said that he wanted to surrender the three people, he felt happy and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will live up to my expectations and persuade all three of them to surrender and join the gang."
After Duan Pengju said this, he hugged Lin Chong, then turned around and went out to persuade them to surrender.
"Brother, this" Wu Yong was a little worried when he saw that Lin Chong asked Duan Pengju to go alone to surrender.
Lin Chong knew what Wu Yong wanted to express, waved his hand and said, "I, Lin Chong, always employ people without suspicion, and do not use those who are suspicious.
Brother, don't worry."
Seeing Lin Chong's face full of confidence, Wu Yong nodded and said no more.
Lin Chong didn't know exactly how Duan Pengju negotiated with the three of them.
In short, after about an hour, Chen Zhu, Ma Wanli, and Wang Yi came back with Duan Pengju, and they all agreed to surrender.
Lin Chong was so happy that he stood up and helped the three of them up, saying loudly, "Hahaha, three brothers, get up quickly.
From now on, we are all brothers, so don't be so polite."
The three of them were happy to see Lin Chong being sincere and polite to others, and the last trace of uneasiness in their hearts slowly disappeared.
Lin Chong personally introduced the three of them and the other brothers.
When Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue were introduced, the three of them bowed together and said, "Thank you two brothers for showing mercy."
Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue laughed and helped the three of them up, and then Lu Zhishen said loudly, "Haha, how could we become brothers with the three of them otherwise?"
"Hahaha" All the brothers laughed loudly together "hateful" Cai You was still brooding over what was supposed to be a great victory, but turned out to be a disastrous defeat.
The situation of this battle has been calculated.
In addition to the three generals who were captured alive, the army suffered a direct loss of nearly 30,000 people.
Of course, this does not mean that all of them were killed, but that many people escaped.
About 5,000 people were directly killed or trampled to death by the Liangshan army, which meant that at least 20,000 people were missing.
Some people may come back slowly over time, but some may never come back.
In short, there are only 70,000 officers and soldiers left.
Cai You sat there and sulked secretly, thinking that when he came he was very high-spirited, commanding an army of 100,000 men, with soldiers and horses from eight states under his command, plus the generals transferred from the Forbidden Army, he was full of talents.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, there were only 70,000 soldiers left in the 100,000-strong army, and only three of the eight soldiers and horse supervisors were left, and one of them was injured and could not fight.
Poor Cai You didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to say anything.

They all waited quietly.
Cai You sat there and was angry for a long time, and finally said, "What do you think we should do in this situation now?"
Li Ming and others below, you look at me, I look at you, and I think at the same time, "Who am I asking?
You are the coach."
But a few people could only think about this sentence in their hearts, saying that they would definitely not dare to say it out loud.
"Sir, I think that the morale of the generals is low now, so we should focus on defense."
Seeing that no one was speaking, Li Ming said bravely.
"We are here to destroy the bandits and regain Daming Mansion.
What's going on with our defense?"
Besides, we are outside the city now and there is no danger to defend.
Even if we want to defend, we can't defend ourselves."
Cai You asked dissatisfiedly after hearing Li Ming's words.
"Sir, there is a mountain valley thirty miles away from here called Feihu Valley.
We can move the army there, set up camp at the entrance of the valley, dig deep trenches to prevent the bandits' cavalry from attacking, and finally divide the army into several teams and take turns.
Guard to prevent the bandits from hijacking the camp again, so that you can be safe for the time being."
Li Ming explained his thoughts to Cai You in detail.
After hearing this, Cai You sat there and thought for a while, and then said, "Since there is this mountain col, why not choose to camp in the mountain col, but choose to camp at the mouth of the valley?"
"No, sir.
Just imagine, sir, if we choose to camp in the valley, the bandits will only have to block both sides of the valley, and then ambush enough archers on the slopes on both sides.
Once this happens, even if the bandits do not take the initiative to attack, Even being sleepy will trap us to death in the valley."
When Wu Bingyi heard Cai You asking if he could camp in the middle of the valley, he was so frightened that he hurriedly told the disadvantages of this.
"Yes, sir, if we camp in the middle of the valley, and the bandits block both ends of the valley, and then set fire to the valley, our army will have no way to escape and will be defeated," Han Tianlin also said quickly.
Although Li Ming, Wu Bingyi, Han Tianlin and other governors were not military advisors, they still had rich experience in facing the enemy.
Where can we march, where can we shelter, where can we camp, where can we retreat, we all know it well.
As the old saying goes, if you compare with the superior, it is not enough, but if you compare with the inferior, it is more than enough.
After hearing this, Cai You showed an expression like this, and then said, "This is the only plan for now.
We will wait for a while to wait for the morale of the soldiers to slowly recover before launching a large-scale attack on the city."
"My lord is wise," several generals below shouted back in unison.
After hearing this, Cai You stood up and said loudly, "Give me the order and the army will march straight to Feihuyu Village."
"My lord, there is one more thing that needs attention," Li Ming said quickly.
"Oh, what else is there?"
Cai You asked with confusion on his face.
I just heard Li Ming say, "There is no problem in taking away the army, but in order to prevent the bandits from sending cavalry to chase our army when it retreats, we must leave a group of people behind to cover, so that we can be foolproof."
Cai You laughed after hearing this
