I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Cong Chongqiu frowned and raised his hand to stop the troops, "Crossbowmen, get ready!"

Could it be that Shi Jian has come back?

Cong Chongqiu frowned and looked towards the corner of the street.

The lieutenants hid at the corner and looked at the scarred lieutenant in panic.

"The enemy has entered the city, what should we do?!"

They had just heard the sound of horse hooves of a large number of cavalry, and now they suddenly stopped. They must be ambushing them.

Scarface frowned as he looked at the street around the corner, and couldn't help but feel afraid.

He was just afraid that he would be shot into a sieve as soon as he went out.

The sound of the enemy's horses' hooves was so crisp that you could tell they were well-maintained horses.

Scarface lowered his eyes to look at the horses beneath them that were foaming at the mouths, and sighed heavily.

Looking back at the soldiers behind him who were barely standing with their spears and looking exhausted, he became even more disheartened.

The lieutenants became even more anxious when they saw Scarface pursing his lips and keeping silent.

"Speak up, you were the one who proposed to fight the enemy, now..."

Before the lieutenants could finish their complaints, a deafening roar was heard.

"Come out! Surrender your weapons and we won't kill you!"

"Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

This roar frightened the lieutenant generals so much that their faces turned pale.

Just listening to the sound is enough to make me feel oppressive. How can I fight like this?

Scarface's eyes lit up when he heard the familiar voice.

"Wait a minute, I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, Scarface handed the spear in his hand to the deputy general beside him, jumped off the horse, walked to the corner in two steps, and shouted loudly,

"Don't do it, I'm here to negotiate!"

Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Come out!"

“.....Yes!” Scarface took a deep breath and walked out of the corner.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw four or five layers of crossbowmen stacked on the street, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh my god, it’s a good thing I didn’t rush out rashly, otherwise I would have been shot into a hedgehog.

Scarface pulled the corner of his lips and laughed dryly, "Don't...don't do it!"

"General Cong, it's my subordinate --- Ma Tiebi!!"

Scarface stretched his neck to look behind several layers of crossbowmen, and when he saw the familiar figure riding on horseback, he shouted excitedly.

He said the voice was so familiar, it turned out to be an old friend.

Why fight? Following Shi Jian is enough for him. He wants to follow General Cong.

Ma Tiebi looked at General Cong excitedly and tapped his bulging arm.

Cong Chongqiu frowned and looked at Scarface.

"It's you..."

Ma Tiebi, who used to have a face full of flesh, is now so thin that he is almost unrecognizable.

This guy is famous for his strong arms. He can lift a stone weighing three or four hundred pounds by himself, and he is also a big eater.

When he first followed him, he was quite envious of Ma Tiebi's arm strength.

"It's me." Ma Tiebi looked at Cong Chongqiu with emotion. The iron-blooded man raised his hand to wipe his red eyes.

"I didn't expect that General Cong could still remember me..."

"For so many years, I have always wanted to follow General Cong..."

He was a small figure who had only been with General Cong for five months three years ago.

At that time, General Cong admired his arm strength and would ask him to show off his skills from time to time.

At that time, he really wanted to stay with General Cong, but General Shi also took a fancy to his good arm strength and insisted on taking him away.

The result was that he was suppressed by Shi Jian for so many years and had always been a small deputy general, which was a real waste of his brute strength.

Why! !

Unexpectedly, after so long, General Cong still remembered him.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have been so arrogant. Then he would not have been favored by Shi Jian and at least he could have followed General Cong.

It wouldn't be as suffocating and depressing as being with Shi Jian.

Cong Chongqiu looked at the tall and strong Ma Tiebi crying, his mouth twitched twice, and his eyes looked towards the corner of the street.

At this time, the deputy general and soldiers hiding at the corner were all dumbfounded.

General Cong rebelled!!!

Damn it, that damn spy went to Chiyan City and came back without telling them.

At least tell them that it was General Cong who rebelled, so they wouldn't have to live in fear for so many days.

And that damn envoy, running around without telling them any useful information.

It was totally unnecessary for these two people to make a trip to Chiyan City.

The deputy generals looked at each other, and felt their scalps tingling instantly when they heard Ma Tiebi still crying about the past.

Who could bear to hear such a strong man crying?

Also, brother, can you recognize the occasion when you are crying?

Now they are enemies, should they fight or not?

When the deputy generals' eyes met, they all looked away guiltily.

Everyone could see the desire for General Cong in each other's eyes.

Among the deputy generals, Ma Tiebi was not the only one who had followed General Cong, but they did not leave as deep an impression on General Cong as Ma Tiebi did.

Ma Tiebi's features are too obvious. His face is covered with scars and his arm strength is extraordinary.

On the other hand, they are rather ordinary and not easy to remember.

It wasn't just one person who shouted first, "General Cong, I miss you so much."

As the shout rang out, the lieutenants hiding in the corner covered their faces, grinning and ran out howling.

Suddenly, dozens of lieutenants came running out and knelt beside the crying Ma Tiebi, introducing themselves one by one.

"General Cong, I followed you to fight on the border seven years ago. We even slept in the same tent..."

"General Cong, my father was a soldier with you. At that time, you gave your cotton-padded jacket to my father..."

"General Cong, I have heard of your reputation and have long wanted to follow you..."

"General Cong, help me! Shi Jian has abandoned his brothers and run away. He is not worthy of being a general. Your subordinates are willing to follow General Cong..."

"Please General Cong take us in!!!"

"......"

With tears in their eyes, the deputy generals looked at Cong Chongqiu and shouted,

"Please General Cong take us in!!!"

The hoarse and rough voices of the deputy generals spread across the streets of Huanlian City.

The soldiers huddled together at the corner were stunned.

All the deputy generals have surrendered, so it seems there is no need for them to persist, right?

After hesitating for only three breaths, the soldiers all rushed out of the corner.

The street, which was wide enough for three carriages to pass side by side, was blocked by soldiers.

All the soldiers knelt behind the deputy generals, looking at Cong Chongqiu with expectation.

Cong Chongqiu looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces, feeling mixed emotions.

Shi Jian, this beast, has not fed his soldiers for how long? Look at them all, they are as hungry as mummies.

No wonder Shi Jian hasn’t come back since he ran away. Who can he defeat with a group of mummies?

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of Liang was defeated by Emperor Yongchang, otherwise if Emperor Wu of Liang had come to kill them, these soldiers would have turned into real mummies.

He's so hungry that he has no ability to fight.
