As Li Le led 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 baggage troops to retreat to Daling County, Chengzhang and the two thousand soldiers who blocked the river crossing the river were also replaced by the situation and used the situation to lure the surrendered thieves. The Taiyuan prefect in the city was overjoyed and hurriedly led nearly 10,000 people from the city to capture and bind the surrendered thieves.

Five or six thousand people were washed away by the flood, and two or three thousand people were shot by Cheng Zhang's troops. The remaining more than 10,000 thieves drowned one or two thousand people in the river. The others were as tired as quails soaked in water, unable to struggle, and honestly went ashore and were tied up.

Because most of them were the people of Taiyuan County, and only one month after they were thieves, when they saw the Taiyuan Prefect coming, they knelt on the ground and cried and shouted to spare their lives. The Taiyuan Prefect hurriedly looked at Cheng Zhang, knowing that the martial artists liked beheading the most. As soon as the thieves surrendered, the beheading was greatly reduced and the merits were reduced.

He didn't want to see Chengzhang or look at the prefect and surrendered thieves. He just looked around for the wounded and kept checking the injuries of the seriously injured. When the prefect of Taiyuan saw it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When the war was like thunder, he would never show mercy to kill the thieves. After the war, he was like a saint, carefully exploring the injuries of the injured, and the soldiers could not distinguish them. His subordinates were like this, and it seemed that the new He Duwei would not be bad either.

The Taiyuan prefect came to Cheng Zhang's side and asked, "Chen Junhou, I wonder where the Duwei of He has gone? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Cheng Zhang carefully checked a dying thief. It was caused by several arrow wounds. He could only see him slowly die. As soon as Cheng Zhang was about to stand up and leave, he saw the prefect telling him, but he couldn't answer. So he said:

"My lord originally wanted to ambush the thieves halfway, but he didn't want the thieves to join forces and go straight in. Our army is a soldier of Fangjian, and there are still 5,000 thieves and cavalry threats, so the ambush has not been launched. In the end, we could only order our troops to return to the Fen River first, block the river and build a dam, and attack halfway. He stayed on the west bank and waited for the fighter plane."

The prefect of Taiyuan was overjoyed and asked, "I wonder if the Duwei lieutenant has enough troops? This prefect wants to lead the civilians to help the war."

The peach picker came, and Cheng Zhang laughed at the thieves everywhere and said, "Among these more than 10,000 thieves, I wonder if there are still stubborn leaders of the Baibo thief. If the prefect leads Minzhuang away, who will come to guard them? Isn't the prefect afraid that they will have recurrence again? Have you ever seized the city?"

The Taiyuan prefect smiled awkwardly and said, "What Cheng Jun said is very, very much, our mansion still surrenders the thieves and the people are the best, and the people are the best."

It takes more than 80 miles to return to Daling City from Fenhe River, and it takes more than half a day for cavalry. But if the infantry and cavalry are in harmony and a lot of baggage, it will take at least two days.

Although Li Le could lead the thief cavalry to leave, he would not give up the countless wealth and food he had collected from the three southwest counties. He could only lead the cavalry to protect the five thousand baggage troops and withdraw to the southwest direction according to his temperament.

But just after leaving the Fen River, the three hundred annoying officers and soldiers came again and began to harvest continuously on the periphery. Although there were not many thieves killed each time, there were many injured. Li Le was afraid that the howling of the injured would hit the thief army, which was originally depressed, either killed on the spot or abandoned, so that no one would hit the morale of the army again.

However, over the long run, Li Le's army and his team still lost more troops. After traveling for more than ten miles, it became completely dark. Li Le summoned the bandits to set up a camp and then counted the number of people. After only a few dozen miles of distance, the baggage troops were reduced by 2,000. Li Le couldn't help but shivered all over.

If this continues, after returning for 80 miles, wouldn’t the remaining 10,000 people die? Li Le told the night watch in annoyance, and went alone in the camp with a disgusting wine.

Li Le thought to himself that if there were such a huge number of casualties tomorrow, he would have to abandon his money and food and flee back to Hedong. He originally thought that he could compete with the leader of Guo Tai after conquering Jinyang, but he did not expect that he would return home from Jinyang City. He met Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Hu Cai, and was afraid that he would be ridiculed by them again. Soon, Li Le, who was worried and depressed, fell asleep.

The thief who was watching the night watch the dark Mengshan in the northwest and Longshan in the northwest, in the dark like a man-eating monster, fierce and violent, couldn't help but shivered. An old thief said to the thief who was less than twelve years old beside him: "Xiaoda, don't sleep tonight, do you know? Do you have to follow your uncle at all times, do you know?"

The little thief named Xiaoda yawned, but his eyes flashed with glitter, "Is something going on tonight, uncle?"

The old thief looked at his clever nephew with great satisfaction, and it was so clear that he said, "Look at Mengshan and Longshan are close to you, and Li Le's thief went back and didn't send anyone to investigate. My uncle thought that the officers and soldiers in Jinyang City were so powerful, how could they not have ambushed there? So..."

Xiaoda nodded repeatedly and replied: "I know my uncle. When the officers and soldiers attacked the camp, we will hide in a sideways and wait until the officers and soldiers win before coming out to surrender."

The old thief couldn't help but pat Xiaoda Xiao thief and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? When suppressing the thieves in the court, they never asked about goodness and were killed. In the past two years, the Yellow Turban Moth Rebellion was no less than a million people killed by the government army. In addition, the Yellow Turban Moth Hero killed him, they died of illness and starved to death, and there were millions. Do you know how many millions are?"

Xiaoda nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, it's... two, three hundred and 30,000 minus."

"That's right." The old thief stroked Xiaoda's head and said, "The only two families are left with our uncles and nephews. My uncle is over forty years old. I don't know if he can give birth to a child in the future. If you live in two more years, you can get married and have children. So it's right to find a way to save your life, otherwise our two families will be extinct. My uncle is still looking forward to you adopting a son for my Wang family."

Xiaoda grinned and said, "Don't worry, uncle, when Xiaoda marrys ten or eight wives and gives birth to a hundred kids, and adopts fifty kids for uncle in the future?"

The old thief surnamed Wang touched Xiaoda's crotch and laughed: "Your kid's seed roots are not small, but if you want to give birth to a hundred kids, my uncle doesn't believe it. There have always been only exhausted cows, but there are no broken fields."

Suddenly, Xiao Da thief pulled the old thief named Wang. The old thief surnamed Wang immediately shut up and straightened his body. The leader of the baggage camp had a gloomy face and led people around to observe the night watch. When he saw the two thiefs, one old and one young, he nodded with satisfaction.

You should know that he had caught dozens of sleep-sleeping thieves, all of whom were cut by him. After finally seeing two loyal people, he immediately praised them and even threw out hundreds of Wuzhu coins to reward them. Two thieves, one old and one young, kowtowed to show gratitude.

After the leader left, two thieves, one old and one young, ignored the Wuzhu coins on the ground and did not look at it. Soon after, a thief with a flesh-faced face came over and looked at the Wuzhu coins on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction. He went up to pick it up one by one and put it in his arms. Before leaving, he patted the two thieves on the shoulder and said, "Do it well."

After all the thieves left, the old and the young spitted and cursed: "What's the matter?"

After inspecting the camp, the head of the baggage was about to return to the camp when he suddenly saw the deputy leader of the cavalry coming towards this side. He was stunned. The deputy leader of the cavalry took the hand of the baggage leader into the big tent and whispered: "Brother, things are not good."

The baggage leader asked with a face that was unchanged: "What?"

The deputy leader of the cavalry said disbelief: "How come you don't know what you think? If you don't know, that's a conspiracy. The new captain in Taiyuan is so powerful that even without seeing anyone, we will have killed or injured most of the people. Now there are only such people. Do you think we can retreat to Daling City? Even if we can retreat to Daling City, what can we do? Can we still withdraw from Taiyuan County?"

The baggage leader turned to the deputy leader of the cavalry and asked in confusion: "What do you think? Just say it with ease, why do you say these things?"

"I mean, it's better to... surrender to the government army." After saying that, he made a cut-down gesture.

The baggage leader pondered for a while before saying, "The thief who surrendered to the government has never had a good end."

The deputy leader of the cavalry smiled and said, "What do you want to end up? I heard that Tang Zhou, who betrayed the great wise men and had been named Marquis of Lie, and enjoyed his happiness in Luoyang City. Yan Zheng, who assassinated General Digong, also became his rich man in Yecheng. If we don't take advantage of the fact that we still have something in our hands, will we still have to wait until we die?"

The baggage leader hesitated and said, "But the general is my cousin after all..."

The deputy leader of the cavalry smiled and said, "I remember that during the day, only a few thousand stones of food were destroyed, and he wanted to take your heart and wine. Do you think he would recognize you as his cousin and let you go? You need to know whether Li Yin, who was fighting with him for a beautiful woman in the city of Z, was his own brother, and he was still killed by him."

The baggage leader was shocked and then responded: "Okay... go and kill Li Le, I will pack up my property first so that I can give the Taiyuan Duwei a big meeting gift."

The deputy leader of the cavalry immediately bowed his order, looked at each other and turned around and left.

When He Bai, who was supposed to attack at night, was respectfully welcomed into the thief camp, he was still a little afraid to believe it. It seems that when the morale of a large army fell to freezing point, no matter how powerful his enemies were or how many people there were, he only had one thing in his heart, which was to surrender to death. It seems that the comparison between the mob and the mob was a little better.

He Baigao sat in the main seat where the thief Li Le had once sat. Cheng Qi was guarding with a knife, and Fu Xingze led his troops to confiscate weapons and horses to prevent accidents. He Bai asked with a smile: "You two killed Li Le and surrendered to me. It's so good, it's great, it shows that you two are not ignorant of conscience and are not vicious to the end. Yes, what name do you call me? Who should we take?"

The baggage leader immediately knelt down and reported, "Little man Lu Ping, this is Li Leng, Li Le was killed by Li Leng, and Li Leng is the deputy leader of the five thousand thieves, so he should be the main one."

He Bai nodded and asked, "Li Leng, are the same surname as Li, are they from the same clan?"

Li Leng quickly explained: "Li Le is considered a cousin of the villain, but he is already a cousin outside the fifth squad, so..."

He Bai laughed and said, "Even if he is out of the fifth squad, he is still a cousin, and he is still a very trusted confidant. Otherwise, how could he let you be the deputy leader of the five thousand cavalry?"

Li Leng was stunned, and immediately sweated profusely. He hurriedly kowtowed and screamed: "Prince, please spare me, please spare me..."
