After hearing this, Tong Guan looked stern.
He slapped the desk in front of him and shouted sternly: "You brave thief, how dare you surrender in front of the truth.
How can you hide this trick from me?
Someone, please tell them a few of them.
They were all pushed out and chopped into pieces.”
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers standing on both sides rushed over and pointed their swords and guns at Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo.
Qin Ming and the others were filled with astonishment.
Qin Ming reacted and shouted loudly: "Master Prime Minister, this villain is not pretending to surrender.
He is sincere and wants to surrender anyway."
Tong Guan sneered and said: "I heard that the thief is loyal and generous, and specializes in making friends with the world's heroes.
Anyone who takes refuge will be respected.
Now you are saying that you are willing to do anything, isn't it a bluff?
Then you can cooperate with the thief inside and outside to attack my army. " Qin Ming shouted loudly: "Sir, the villain is an officer and a soldier.
What's the benefit of taking refuge with the bandits?
Moreover, the Liangshan bandits only have ten thousand soldiers.
Now the prime minister leads an army of fifty thousand.
The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.
The prime minister is even more familiar with it."
If you read the Art of War, you will be invincible in all battles and invincible in all attacks.
Shi Jin is stubborn and stubborn, and he still tries to resist stubbornly.
How can he be so unwise as to continue to follow those bandits?
" Hu Yanzhuo struggled even more excitedly and shouted loudly: "Master Prime Minister, I am not a spy.
I was humiliated by the bandit and wanted to kill them all.
Sir, I know that losing an army and losing a general is an unforgivable crime."
The villain wants the villain's life, but the villain has nothing to complain about.
But the villain only hopes that the grown-up will give the villain a chance to be a vanguard soldier.
Even if he dies, the villain hopes to have a chance to kill the evil thief Shi Jin before he dies. , It’s a good way to avenge previous shame.”
Han Tao and Peng Qi also hurriedly begged for mercy.
Seeing Hu Yanzhuo's excited look, and hearing his majestic and resentful look when he mentioned Shi Jin.
Tong Guanyi stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to stop first.
Tong Guanyi's shining eyes were fixed on Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo, and there was no trace of hypocrisy in the expressions on their faces.
After a while, Tong Guan's expression softened, and he ordered the soldiers to release Hu Yanzhuo and the others, and asked: "General Qin, you have been in Liangshan for a long time.
I don't know how many soldiers the bandit has now, and how long the food and grass can last."
Qin Ming heard this and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the thieves are holding the people's self-respect hostage.
Although they claim to have 15,000 people, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only 5,000 or 6,000 people who can really fight.
And there are not many who sincerely follow the thief leader Shi Jin, most of them are intimidated and coerced by him.
As for food and grass, because we have repeatedly conquered villages and cities, we have enough food and grass to support the army for half a year."
Hearing Qin Ming say that there were 15,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, but the real number of soldiers and horses was only 5,000 or 6,000, Tong Guan nodded.
This was consistent with the situation of bandits.
Bandits and robbers try their best to exaggerate their military strength in order to show their strength and scare the weak soldiers and imperial guards.
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 serve as heads.
When it comes time to actually fight, you still have to rely on those who are young and strong.
But Qin Ming said that the bandits had enough food and grass to last for half a year.
Tong Guan frowned.
The Western Army fought bravely, but they were not good at water warfare.

It seems that we must lure them into a decisive battle and defeat them in one fell swoop in order to eradicate this gang of thieves.
Otherwise, it would be a troublesome thing for them to escape into the water.
After a quiet test, Tong Guan still couldn't find anything wrong with Qin Ming and his gang.
Tong Guan said: "I will give you a chance.
Feng Mei, incorporate them all into your subordinates and treat them well."
Taking these words seriously, Tong Guan stared at Feng Mei and said seriously.
Feng Mei hurriedly raised her hands and said, "It's the Prime Minister.
I understand."
Although Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo were incorporated into Feng Mei's troops, Tong Guan did not completely believe them.
Nearly three hundred people were settled in the left camp, their weapons were put away, and there were three thousand forbidden troops monitoring them.
In the evening, Qin Ming and the others had just come to submit, and Tong Guan didn't trust them.
Of course, the important matter of being on duty at night was not their turn.
Although they were not familiar with each other before, they all escaped from common difficulties.
Now they are almost under house arrest.
Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo have nothing to do, so they naturally gather in a tent to chat.
After chatting for a while, Qin Ming saw no one around and took out a bottle of wine.
As soon as he opened the cork, the strong aroma of the wine suddenly spread out.
Hu Yanzhuo smelled it and couldn't help asking: "What kind of wine is this?"
Qin Ming said nonchalantly: "Liangshan is boring to death, so this burning knife is a little bit interesting.
This pot of wine came out before I escaped.
Anyway, I have nothing to do now, let's drink some to relieve our boredom."
Although Hu Yanzhuo escaped, he was a little depressed when he thought about his future.
Qin Ming said drinking was exactly what he wanted.
Throughout the ages, although alcohol has been banned in the military, in many cases it was not possible to completely ban it.
For example, if you win a battle, you have to drink wine to celebrate.
When a general has made great achievements in battle, he wants to be rewarded with wine.
What's more, the death squads from ancient times to the present have to drink a bowl of Zhuangxing wine before going to the battlefield.
Where did this wine come from?
Therefore, the ban on alcohol was more of a superficial thing, not to mention that under the rule of Tong Guan, who had lax military discipline, the ban on alcohol was in name only.
There wasn't much wine in the bottle, and since we were in a military camp, we didn't dare to show off, so we asked our men to go outside and keep an eye on it, so everyone could have a few sips to satisfy their cravings.
The Shao Knife is a strong drink, and even a few sips can still make people drunk.
Drinking wine makes me sad, and my sadness becomes even more sad Qin Ming was already a little depressed, but after drinking, he became even more depressed.
"I originally thought that Tong Guan was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that he was also a guy with no vision.
To be honest, brother Huyan, I originally wanted to rescue you, and then I was appreciated by Tong Guan, and I expected to make a career with my own abilities. , but now we are not favored by him.
You said that we were captured by bandits and had a shameful experience.
What way out will we have in the future?"
Qin Ming's worries were exactly what made Hu Yanzhuo depressed.
He drank all the wine in the cup and said: "Stop talking, you are better off, you still have some soldiers in your hand.
But what about me, brother?
Now that all my family fortune is gone, I still have to suffer the consequences of that."
It’s a shame and a shame.
Brother, I’m no longer valued by others, and I can’t see a way out.”
Qin Ming shouted in sympathy: "Hey, they are all miserable people.
Drink and drink."
Qin Ming then poured another glass of wine for Hu Yanzhuo.

After Qin Ming finished the cup of wine, he shouted: "If I had known that Tong Guan was so blind, I wouldn't have come here.
At least I can still live freely in the mountains without being looked down upon by others.
How could I have thought that here, I would be taken for granted?"
He's as defensive as a thief.
He's very angry."
When Hu Yanzhuo heard Qin Ming's complaint, he was so frightened that he woke up.
He kept saying: "Brother Qin, if these words of caution are heard by others and reach the ears of the Prime Minister, I am afraid there will be a big disaster."
As the army approaches, Liangshan will be defeated by the Prime Minister soon.
It would be wise for Qin Ming to realize this as soon as possible."
Qin Ming sighed and said: "I know, I know, otherwise why would I return to the Song Dynasty anyway?
I just thought that Liangshan would be destroyed, so I escaped early.
Hey, tell me, do we still have a future like this?"
Hu Yanzhuo also sighed and said: "If we continue like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wear this official uniform, and I will be looked down upon for the rest of my life.
If we want to change this situation, the only way to change this situation is to fight against the Liangshan gang.
When you are a bandit, if you fight to the death and earn some military honors, you may still have a chance to succeed."
Qin Ming nodded and said: "This is 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 Chinese Army Commander's camp and explained their words to Tong Guan word for word.
After hearing this, Tong Guan didn't care about Qin Ming's complaints at all.
When receiving such treatment, it is normal to complain, and it is abnormal not to complain.
Qin Ming's complaints and Hu Yanzhuo's laments made Tong Guan even more convinced that Qin Ming and the others were sincere.
Two days later, the catapult improved by Ling Zhen was finally completed.
Tong Guan immediately ordered the army to dispatch to encircle Liangshan.
After hearing the spies' report that Tong Guan's army had finally moved, Shi Jin, who had been staying near Juancheng for three days, also ordered the Liangshan army to move out to fight the imperial troops.
A war between the two armies is about to break out:
