"I'll pay homage to you all."

Under the banner of the central army, a bandit knelt down in front of generals such as Mei Zhihuan, Qin Liangyu, and Liu Jun, and presented a letter of surrender from Cao Cao and other thieves.

With the arrival of the surrender of the book, there were several carriages worth less than 100,000 taels of silver.

"Recite!" Mei Zhihuan did not accept the letter, and asked the messenger to recite it directly in public.

"Caomin Luo Rucai and others kowtowed and said: We are all good people, and the innocent son of the emperor has committed serious crimes due to the drought in Shaanxi. Now we swear to surrender and return to our hometown to resume our business. The criminals Cao Cao Luo Rucai, the little Qin king Bai Gui, had 100,000 black clouds, one zhangqing Liu Xiu, the Xingshi king, the King of King Guoning, the White Horse Deng Tianwang, and other eight crimes were first given to us."

After hearing this, Liu Jun felt completely unbelievable. He smiled and said to the messenger, "Cao Cao and others are really willing to surrender unconditionally?"

"Return to General, that's true."

"Since you are willing to surrender, then put down your weapons and surrender. What are you waiting for?" Liu Jun said shamelessly.

The messenger's face changed slightly and said, "All the leaders are willing to surrender to the court, but I hope to get a guarantee from Premier Mei and others. After we put down our weapons and surrender, we will allow us to disband and return home, issue exemption cards, and no longer hold us accountable for the past!"

Mei Zhihuan smiled, "As long as you abandon your weapons and surrender and disband and return home, the court will naturally forgive you for your crimes in the past."

"There is no credibility. We hope to get the pardon and the card for exemption first."

Liu Jun guessed that these must be the thief's delaying strategy, "What are the conditions left? Let me raise them together!"

"I dare not have any other conditions. As long as the court gives the pardon and the card of exemption, we will immediately surrender when we see the document and card."

"Okay, go back and wait for a reply."

As soon as Liu Jun and the messenger left, they immediately said, "The thieves are surrendering. I think they must be fleeing north."

Qin Liangyu nodded, "I think so. The thief took out so much money to numb us and let us escape while we relax our vigilance."

Under normal circumstances, the bandits now ask for surrender and have spent so much money to show great sincerity. Correspondingly, the official army must stop attacking before sending them pardon documents.

"Let's take the initiative to attack." Liu Jun suggested.

"What if the bandits really want to surrender?" Qin Gongmin said on the side.

"Even if he really wants to surrender, we can't give him this opportunity. How many times have they repeated it over and over again? How can you guarantee that he will not rebel again after returning home in the future?" Liu Jun would not believe these people.

"Why don't we take action again after the bandits surrender? Wouldn't that be easier?" Qin Gongmin continued.

Liu Jun shook his head, "I think the thieves are not going to really surrender. They just want to delay the military and delay the time."

"But they are blocked here now, why are they delaying? Can they break through our interception until dawn? Yangge's troops should have arrived in Dachang City yesterday. They are rushing here at this time. The longer the thieves dragged the situation, the more unfair it was?" Qin Gongmin asked.

Liu Jun also felt that this matter did seem a bit abnormal, but he just didn't believe that the thief would really surrender. But if it weren't for the real surrender, what was the thief trying to do? Liu Jun couldn't figure it out for a while.

Qin Yimin also supported his brothers at this time, "I think it's better to agree to the thief's request for the time being. Anyway, dragging on it will only benefit us. When Yangge's troops arrive tomorrow, these thieves will never think about playing tricks anymore. They will have to surrender in the end!"

Duke Hu also said on the side, "It's dark and night now. We are fine with our fortification defense. If we take the initiative to attack, it's probably not appropriate. Why not agree to the thief's request first, and wait until dawn. By then, if the thief still wants to negotiate terms, we will send troops to destroy them."

In the end, the matter was agreed to stop the war for the time being.

However, no matter whether the thiefs are real or fake, the property they sent in twice is real, worth at least 200,000 taels of silver.

Now these goods are placed in boxes and boxes, and both Liu Jun and Qin Yimin and other generals are looking at each other from time to time. Everyone is very moved by the money. It is fake to say that they are not moved. Whether it is Liu Jun's nine-headed bird or the white-rod soldiers of the Qin and Ma families, they are all piled up with a lot of money.

Especially at present, the court has a difficult financial situation and is always owed wages. If you win a battle, it is difficult to get rewards in time.

Mei Zhihuan had already noticed everyone's eyes, and he shook his head and smiled.

Liu Jun stepped forward and said, "Teacher, it's better to send this money as a reward for the soldiers. Everyone will always have to reward them if they fight to the court."

Liu Jun meant that he wanted to privately divide the money. Judging from the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this was a mistake or even a crime. After all, these were the bribes made by Cao Cao and other thieves, and they were stolen money.

However, Liu Jun didn't care about these things. He sent troops to Sichuan and fought several battles, but not much of them seized. Even the food they ate was brought by themselves from Huguang, and they didn't collect a few stones of food from the local area. Now, it's hard to have a piece of silver in front of him, so why would he spit it out again?

Mei Zhihuan also understood Liu Jun's meaning. What does it depend on in war? It depends on the soldiers' lives, but the loyalty to the emperor and the court is naturally part of the loyalty of the soldiers to the emperor and the court, but more on the rewards and rewards of food and money. He also knew that the court always owe money now, and Liu Jun's nine-headed bird almost never received any money. Even if the salary is paid, it has to be deducted and delayed. The rewards are similar. If military achievements are made, they often cannot receive real rewards. The rewards are often just empty rewards and cannot be fulfilled.

Even if he handed over this money to the court, he would definitely not reward the soldiers again in the end.

"Stop, give these silver to the soldiers."

Mei Zhihuan was quite fair. He divided the property worth 200,000 taels into ten parts and then divided it to each department. The principle of dividing money was one part per battalion. When Mei Zhihuan entered Sichuan, there were five battalions, and later a temporary battalion was added. Li Changgeng and Yuan Jixian each had a Fubiao battalion, and Qin Liangyu brought five thousand white-rod soldiers, which was counted as two battalions.

In this way, there are exactly ten battalions, each battalion gets one, equivalent to 20,000 silver dollars. This principle of division actually takes good care of Li Changgeng, Yuan Jixian and Qin Liangyu. After all, the soldiers of Li Yuan and the two were basically not on the battlefield and were always stationed in the rear, and the Baigang soldiers had just arrived. And they were just escorting the formation behind, and they had not been on the pretext.

Qin Yimin, Qin Gongmin and Ma Xianglin were all very happy. They rushed all the way and did nothing, and 40,000 taels were earned. This was really a must.

Liu Jun didn't care about these details and expressed his approval of this division. After all, many things should not be too serious. Qin Liangyu is the general officer, and Yuan Jixian and Li Changgeng are both bosses. Do you still have to compete with them?

"No, we will not receive any reward without merit. Our white-rod soldiers have no merit and cannot receive this reward." Qin Liangyu stood up and opposed it.

"Why should General Qin refuse? If you didn't come to reinforce, we would not be able to stop him even if we intercepted him here. I heard that General Qin spent his family to fill military expenses and led his troops to protect the king, which made Liu Jun admire him. Although the money was a bit unruly, we did not embezzle corruption, but used it to serve the army and raise soldiers and be diligent in the affairs of the king."

Mei Zhihuan also persuaded her. "If you don't take this money, Liu Jun wouldn't dare to take it anymore. I'm embarrassed to take it anymore."

After everyone persuaded him, Qin Liangyu agreed to share the money. However, she only received 20,000 yuan, and the other two gave it to Liu Jun. Liu Jun received 60,000 yuan from the three battalions, but Qin Liangyu gave him 20,000 yuan. Mei Zhihuan also received 20,000 yuan from his own 60,000 miles to Liu Jun. Liu Jun distributed half of it and got 100,000 taels of worth of property.

Seeing everyone protecting themselves like this, Liu Jun was not pretentious and accepted them all with a smile.

That night, Qin Liangyu led the white-sling soldiers to defend the whistle, and the Huguang soldiers from other battalions could finally have a good rest. Although everyone was still on the position, with weapons pillowing, they fell asleep.

It was a little dawn, and Liu Jun woke up.

He first climbed up the high and looked at the bandits' camp with a thousand-mile mirror. After the bandits surrendered last night, they took the troops to a place ten miles apart in the government army to camp, and they could still be seen from afar.

"The thief camp seems very quiet!"

Liu Jun looked at it for a while and felt a little surprised.

"Maybe they really want to surrender." Fu Shan said standing beside Liu Jun.

"I don't believe these people, nor do I believe at all. There are still tens of thousands of thieves. Eliminating the family, women and children who accompany the army, the thief army is at least more than 40,000. How could they surrender so easily?"

"General, General Mei and Supervisor Qin asked you to go over and discuss matters." A personal soldier from the Central Army rushed to inform. Liu Jun hurried to the Central Army. Under Mei Zhihuan's command, Mei Zhihuan and Qin Liangyu both looked bad.

"What happened?" Liu Jun asked.

"Our horse exploration just reported that there were no traces of troops led by Yang Ge's troops in the vicinity of fifty miles." Mei Zhihuan replied.

"How could it be? He Renlong had arrived in Dachang the day before yesterday. According to our news, Yangge's troops should have arrived in Dachang yesterday. Although Dachang is more than 100 miles away, it is less than 200 miles away. Even if the large troops set out together, they cannot get here now, but they should be not far away."

"It's true, so I'm worried that something might be happening over there."

Liu Jun's first reaction was that Yang Sichang might not come on purpose, or maybe he wanted to wait for the bandits and Huguang Army to fight first and both sides were injured before he came to pick peaches.

Just as everyone was speculating and doubting, someone reported it.

"A group of people rushed from the thief camp and said they wanted to surrender to us. And he had important news reports. He said, Cao Cao ran away!"

"What?" Liu Jun and others were really surprised now.

"Where is that person, bring him here right away."

Soon, the soldiers brought a man, a tall man.

"I'll pay homage to you, my elders."

Liu Jun glanced at the man and felt that this man was not an ordinary thief. "Who are you? Report your identity in detail."

The man was swept away by Liu Jun and couldn't help but feel a little palpitations. He didn't dare to hide it. He honestly said, "The little one is King Deng, who was the same as the Eight Great Kings."

After listening carefully to his report, Liu Jun and others realized that something big happened. It turned out that Luo Rucai had indeed thought about surrendering after encountering obstacles in breaking south last night. At this moment, Luo Rucai received news of the accident between the official army in Dachang City. Then Luo Rucai sent a large amount of property to Liu Jun and others, and then pretended to surrender, requesting exemption from the crime.

After stabilizing the government army and stopped attacking, Luo Rucai led his troops to retreat ten miles. He divided the troops into three parts. The original Zhang Xianzhong part was stationed in the south, the old camp was stationed in the middle, and Luo Rucai and Xiao Qin Wang and other accomplices were stationed in the north, two miles away from each other.

Then, after dawn, the white horse Deng Tianwang could not find Luo Rucai and others. Finally, he found that Luo Rucai ran away. He and the other four battalions of his accomplices led their old brothers in their battle camps, and then took away only a small number of family members and rode their horses and ran away quietly.

"Are you sure they ran away?" Liu Jun asked.

"It ran away, not only did they run away, Huang Hu's military advisor Pan Duao took Huang Hu's four adopted sons to pull a group of people and didn't know when it ran away."

"How many people did Cao Cao take away?"

"Cao Cao and his gang took away the Tangma cavalry of the fifth battalion, about 3,000 people, all of whom were one and two horses. Pan Duao and Zhang Kewang and others took away four or five hundred cavalry."

Liu Jun, Mei Zhihuan, Qin Liangyu and others looked at each other, and they all knew they were careless. But after all, they all blamed Yang Sichang. During the war, there was a mutiny on his side. Not to mention coming to meet, they made a mess by themselves. As a result, Zaiti discovered the opportunity, decisively left tens of thousands of other people, and fled north with only elite cavalry.

Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor and adopted son must have discovered that Luo Rucai and the others ran away later, and then followed him. Only the white horse, Deng Tianwang and others were all hidden and abandoned here.

King Deng must have found that it was too late to run with him, and he had no horse yet, and he could not even be beaten even if he stayed and fought, so he simply came to surrender.

Liu Jun immediately informed Feng Sheng to bring people to confirm the news about Deng Tianwang. Feng Sheng came back soon and found many things that were wrong. The fifth camp in the north was missing many people. It was preliminary to judge that what Deng Tianwang reported was the facts.

"Cao Cao can only wait for more than 3,000 cavalry, and they will definitely not be able to break through the Yangge tribe's pass." Qin Liangyu said.

Liu Jun shook his head, thinking that this was not necessarily the case. When Cao Cao and others were carrying tens of thousands of troops, they were quite slow, but now that he had left behind a large group of troops and only brought elite troops, and after all the cavalry escaped, it was not easy for Yang Sichang to intercept them, especially when Yang Sichang was still in chaos.

"Duke Mei, Shin-chi, attack the thieves' camp now! Take them down in one fell swoop when the thieves are in the middle of no leader."

Mei Zhihuan also didn't expect that Cao Cao and other bandits would run away in the end. She was very upset and nodded immediately, "Don't let a thief run away again!"

Qin Liangyu stepped forward and asked for an order, "Please let me be the vanguard!"

The order of attack was quickly conveyed, and 20,000 officers and soldiers quickly moved. The deputy general of Qin Liangyu's son, Ma Xianglin, led the first to lead five thousand white-rod soldiers out of the wall like a tide, and rushed to the bandit camp ten miles away.

Then the nine-headed bird and other battalions followed closely.

The officers and soldiers rushed closer and closer, and the people in the bandit camp were still in the dark. They didn't know that Luo Rucai and others had already run away. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming, they immediately screamed and howled. Unfortunately, the top bandits were either killed and captured or fled and surrendered. They could not even organize effective resistance, and they were already broken into a temporary camp where there was no wall of the bars.

Half an hour later, Liu Jun and others rode their horses into the bandit camp. The more than 40,000 bandits and more than 10,000 old camp families who were abandoned by Luo Rucai and others were completely controlled by the officers and soldiers.

"Report to the generals, more than 600 people who resisted and did not surrender were killed, and the rest were all captured, with more than 61,800 prisoners!" A nine-headed officer loudly reported the results to Liu Jun.

What a brilliant victory, Liu Jun couldn't help but smile! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
