Chapter 570 Stunned

When Qin Zhao saw Sun Congyi, he knew that the Sun family army had returned to Pingzhou. Their governor really dragged Sun Jiajun into his own bowl.

They expressed their welcome immediately.

Then, both Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at Lin Shan, whose ugly expression was not concealed at all.

"Deputy Gang Leader Lin, what happened?" Qin Zhao asked with concern.

"My foster father Wang Juntao was detained by Xie Zhan in Juzhang County, Kuaiji."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was surprised.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at each other.

Lin Shan sighed and told them, "Due to the strong interference of the imperial court, our Cao Gang will no longer be able to transport any items for you to Pingzhou, including grain and grass."

This was also the reason why he specifically disembarked from the ship to see Qin Zhao. He had to inform him and let them prepare early.

Qin Zhao waved his hand, "These are all small things."

Then, he asked concernedly, "Is Master Wang's gang okay?"

Lin Shan felt warm in his heart, "If we comply with Governor Xie's request, our lives will be safe."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Then, Lin Shan seemed to have made up his mind, "If you need it, I can ask someone to help you transport a batch of grain and grass, but the amount cannot be too large."

In Lin Shan's view, the supply of food and grass is crucial to Qin Zhao's expeditionary force in Pingzhou.

Now that a group of soldiers like Sun Congyi have been sent over, food and grass are probably even tighter.

Qin Zhao shook his head, "Let's solve this matter ourselves. There is no need to implicate others." And Xie Zhan will definitely not leave any loopholes for them to exploit.

Guo Chong on the side agreed with Qin Zhao's rejection. Lin Shan might have helped out of good intentions, but he didn't blame them for being cautious. It was true that he couldn't trust anyone else who had never cooperated before. He was afraid that Xie Zhan had prepared a bag of food and fodder to hack them.

After the matter was discussed, Lin Shan left. He really was not in the mood to stay any longer.

After Lin Shan left, Qin Zhao asked Sun Congyi how many soldiers and horses were left before the Sun family army transferred to Pingzhou.

After hearing the number Sun Congyi told him, Qin Zhao nodded. There were still [-] to [-] troops, so the situation was not the worst.

Qin Zhao asked some more questions, because Sun Jiajun's transfer to Pingzhou was still short and he didn't know much about it.

Therefore, after understanding the recent situation in Pingzhou, they then talked about the news brought by Lin Shan just now.

Guo Chong said with a smile, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for trying to cut off our supply of food and grass. You are trying to catch a turtle in a urn."

Qin Zhao snorted, "Isn't this a lice on the monk's head? It's obvious? This abacus hit me in the face. But does Xie Zhan want to devour our expeditionary force? He's not afraid of losing his teeth!"

Sun Congyi on the side had been listening to them with open ears. He just heard that the Caobang could not help them transport food and grass, and now he did not see them discussing solutions. He felt nervous.

Sun Congyi thought to himself, it has only been a few good days, are they going to tighten their belts again?

So he asked tentatively, "Brother Qin, do we have enough food and grass for our expeditionary army? If not, what should we do?"

"Why, are you worried about being hungry?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm worried." Sun Congyi said bluntly.

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled like a fox, "Don't worry, I won't let you and your soldiers starve."

"We have food and grass. Whether you can get it or not depends on your ability."

Sun Congyi rolled up his sleeves with an expression that said, "I'm not tired if I want to talk about this."

"Second brother Qin, feel free to take action."

Joke, compete with each other, their Sun Jiajun has never been afraid of anyone. The ones he brought out this time were all good players.

Seeing the unruly look on his face, Qin Zhao thought it was good that he could still maintain his youthful spirit after all the hardships.

"By the way, the governor asked me to bring a letter before departure." Sun Congyi suddenly remembered this, took it out and handed it to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong read the letters one after another, and when they looked at each other, they both saw incredible looks on each other's faces.

"Can it still be like this?"

“The governor said it’s okay, so it should be okay, right?”

"Then adjust the combat strategy."

At this moment, the city gate guard came to report, "General, military counselor, there is a man outside the city gate. He said he is Bai Xingzhi, a subordinate of King Jin, and he wants to see you."

Bai Xingzhi? Isn't that the think tank under King Jin? What is he here for?

Qin Zhao didn't know why.

Guo Chong was thoughtful.

"Invite him in." Qin Zhao felt that he could first listen to the other party's intention.

When Bai Xingzhi was invited in, only Qin Zhao and Guo Chong were left in the meeting hall. Yue Shu went to inspect the barracks, while Sun Congyi went to settle the army because the garrison area for the army he led was designated.

After Bai Xingzhi came in, he looked at the two of them without leaving any trace.

After a brief exchange of greetings between the two parties, Bai Xingzhi went directly to the topic and told Qin Zhao that their King Jin was willing to have good relations with Pingzhou, and to show his sincerity, he was willing to give up Qu Tao to Pingzhou.

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at each other. There was no meat hanging in their mouths. They had not eaten it for so long, and now it came to their mouths.

They had previously analyzed that the King of Jin, with only [-] troops left, could not defend the four counties of the East China Sea, and in the end he could only shrink the front either actively or passively.

Now it seems that King Jin is planning to take the initiative to shrink the front line.

Smart approach.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, since the King of Jin sincerely gives in, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse. I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of our governor."

Bai Xingzhi paused while holding the tea. He was already prepared to say thank you and say three words, but there was no need for it now.

"General Qin Zhao is too polite."

"Mr. Bai, does King Jin often worry about Xie Zhan and others?" Qin Zhao asked.

"That's definitely upsetting."

"Mr. Bai, we in Pingzhou have felt King Jin's sincerity and have nothing to do in return. If King Jin is upset about Xie Zhan, we can send troops to teach him a lesson!"

Bai Xingzhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Are all people in Pingzhou so rude? The current location of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force is to the north of the East China Sea, and Xie Zhan is currently in Kuaiji, which is to the south of the East China Sea. The territory in between belongs to the King of Jin.

In other words, if the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force wanted to defeat Xie Zhan, they would have to take advantage of the passage or capture the separated territory.

"Let's look at this later." Bai Xingzhi laughed.

Qin Zhao nodded, knowing that King Jin might still be reluctant to give them so many cities in Pingzhou for free.

Next, Bai Xingzhi asked the Jin king's people to withdraw from Qutao and handed Qutao over to Pingzhou.

When Bai Xingzhi saw Pingzhou soldiers placing a large flag with the word "Ping" on the top of the city, he sighed in his heart.

After the matter was settled, Bai Xingzhi took away the soldiers and horses that had withdrawn from Qutao.

Before leaving, Qin Zhao and Bai Xingzhi said, "Mr. Bai, we in Pingzhou have accepted your gifts. You go back and tell Prince Jin that you will be our good friends in Pingzhou from now on. We in Pingzhou are usually very kind to our friends." It’s generous. You can look forward to it.”

Later, when Sun Congyi learned the news, he was stunned.

He didn't expect that in just one meal, Pingzhou could capture a city without spending a single soldier?

Why is the battle in Pingzhou so smooth?
