The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys

Following Su Qingjue's order, the army began to speed up its march.

As the vanguard, Liu Ben took the lead with 3,000 cavalry to investigate the situation outside Shanzhou City.

As for Qian Yiyuan, Su Qingjue did not treat him as a hostage, but ordered his people to entertain him well.

In this way, the troops of Qi State successfully arrived outside the city of Shanzhou before the sun set.

Liu Ben rode a tall horse, holding a long spear, and began to challenge the enemy frantically under the city.

But no one answered on the city wall. All that could be seen was a crowd of people, and it was unclear what was going on.

Inside the city.

After receiving the news that the Qi army had arrived, the Qian family immediately started setting fires everywhere.

They used kerosene which is extremely flammable and will burn for a long time once touched.

In addition, most of the buildings in the city are made of wood and are not far apart.

The fire spread quickly throughout the city.

Soldiers came forward with buckets of water to put out the fire.

When Zheng Dalong saw this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

It was obvious that the fire was not an accident. There must be someone in the city who had surrendered to the enemy and wanted to be their accomplice.

If so, his situation would be very dangerous.

Those who wanted to surrender might want to chop off his head and take credit for it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Dalong looked around vigilantly, then silently took a step back and protected Chen Wentao in front of him.

In front of him, Chen Wentao was extremely anxious.

"Oops, I'm too slow!"

He originally wanted to surrender, but after all, there was still Zheng Dalong in the army, so he made preparations in secret, thinking of controlling Zheng Dalong first and then opening the city gate.

But what he never expected was that someone else would take the lead in surrendering.

In this way, even if he surrendered, it would not be considered as any merit.

There is even suspicion that they were forced to surrender due to the situation.

No!

Chen Wentao took a deep breath and made up his mind.

If he wanted to surrender, he had to act now. If he acted later, he might not even need to open the city gate, as it would have been opened by those who surrendered in advance.

Thinking of this, Chen Wentao looked at Zheng Dalong with a hint of apology and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zheng, I'm sorry!"

As he spoke, Chen Wentao raised his hand and waved.

Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over.

Zheng Dalong's eyes widened when he saw this. He looked at Chen Wentao and asked, "Brother Chen, so you have surrendered to the enemy?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier if you had such an idea?"

The soldiers who rushed out began to tie up Zheng Dalong with ropes.

Zheng Dalong did not struggle, but looked at Chen Wentao calmly.

"Brother Chen, if you want to surrender, count me in. I am willing to surrender too!"

Zheng Dalong had already thought about surrendering, even earlier than Chen Wentao.

Ever since Wang Yanzhang was defeated, he knew that he, as the commander of the Zhechoufu in Shanzhou City, would definitely not be able to stop the army of Qi State.

Rather than working for that gambling-addicted dog emperor, it is better to surrender and change the future.

What a coincidence.

Zheng Dalong's idea was exactly the same as Chen Wentao's.

They are all afraid of each other's existence and have secretly deployed people to control each other.

The men Zheng Dalong prepared were on the top of the city wall.

As long as Chen Wentao climbs up the city wall, he will be controlled, and then he can take Chen Wentao to Su Qingjue to seek credit.

However, Zheng Dalong never dreamed that Chen Wentao, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a decent image, and usually seemed to be self-righteous, could actually move faster than him.

This is really the case of judging a person by his appearance but not his heart!

Chen Wentao was skeptical about Zheng Dalong's words.

At this point, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Not only did he not order his men to untie Zheng Dalong, but he also ordered them to cover Zheng Dalong's mouth with a piece of rag.

Then, in order to prevent others from getting there first, Chen Wentao ran to the city gate and ordered the soldiers to open it.

The soldiers guarding the city did not want to die, so they all obeyed the governor's orders and opened the city gates.

the other side.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the Qian family and their private soldiers all changed into night clothes, put on masks, and moved towards the city gate with pieces of wood in their mouths.

However, when they arrived at the city gate, they suddenly found that the originally closed city gate had already been opened.

And the person who opened the city gate was actually the scapegoat they had anticipated.

At this moment, all members of the Qian family had the same thought in their minds.

"Why did you surrender first, Governor?"

"..."

After Chen Wentao opened the city gate, he ran quickly towards the Qi army.

Seeing him approaching, Liu Ben rode his horse in front of Chen Wentao and pointed his lance at him.

Facing the horse lance, Chen Wentao said calmly:

"I am Chen Wentao, the governor of Shanzhou. I am willing to surrender the city to the general!!"

Liu Ben took back his lance, turned his horse around and returned to the army formation.

He ran to Su Qingjue and told her what Chen Wentao had said.

Su Qingjue was quite surprised to learn that the Governor of Shanzhou actually took the lead in surrendering.

He was the governor of a state after all. He didn't even fight, and just surrendered?

However, if you think about it carefully, it is human nature.

Even Tongguan could not withstand the attack of the Qi army, let alone Shanzhou, which had poor defense.

Perhaps this governor of Shanzhou is just like Wang Yanzhang, a coward who is afraid of death.

Su Qingjue did not hesitate and ordered on the spot: "Enter the city!"

woo-

The trumpets sound, the drums beat, and we march!

The morale of the Qi army was greatly boosted as they were able to defeat the enemy without fighting and successfully capture Shanzhou City.

Su Qingjue rode a white horse and slowly stepped out of the army formation.

"drink!"

"drink!"

"drink!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was so powerful that it shook the earth.

The people of the entire Shanzhou city could hear the uniform shouting.

Behind Su Qingjue, several military generals followed not far away.

Qian Yiyuan, the head of the Qian family who had come to seek refuge before, was also among them.

Qian Yiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the governor Chen Wentao had actually surrendered the city.

Fortunately, he was smart and thought of surrendering in advance.

Otherwise, if the Qi army really arrived at the city and Chen Wentao surrendered the city, the Qian family would no longer have the opportunity to surrender.

By then, powerful families like theirs would become fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will.

Thinking of this, Qian Yiyuan looked at Chen Wentao with gratitude.

The current situation is the best for the Qian family.

Originally, the Qian family would have to take risks if they surrendered.

Now that Chen Wentao has voluntarily surrendered the city, it has nothing to do with his Qian family anymore.

Even if the Emperor of Daliang blamed them, it would not be the Qian family's fault.

This is equivalent to the Qian family originally wanting Chen Wentao to take the blame for them, but who would have thought that Chen Wentao would take the blame himself, and take it so seriously and firmly.

Apart from anything else, Qian Yiyuan felt that in the future, when the members of the Qian family saw Chen Wentao, they should bow to him.

......

Su Qingjue entered Shanzhou City. He looked at the smoke rising from the city, turned his head and said to Chen Wentao who was following him, "Take your men to put out the fire first, and make a thorough calculation of the losses of the people. Everything will be borne by our Qi State!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Chen Wentao's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have seen someone who was truly worthy of his loyalty.

......
