Butcher Chen has always been a bold man, and he is usually very careless in dealing with others.
However, he usually seems to speak out of tune, but if you put aside the exaggerated tone when he speaks, you will find that he has never said anything out of the ordinary or done anything out of the ordinary.
Butcher Chen, who was able to survive all the way and reach today, looks like a big fool, but he is not stupid.
Therefore, he will not think that he is really a heavenly warrior and a god who descends to earth, and then all the mortal ants in front of him surrender when they see him.
If he was really a heavenly general, why would he bother to talk to them? He just cast out a spell and captured them and left, so there was no need to fight with them to delay?
But although Butcher Chen had never thought that they would surrender so simply, nearly a hundred young men from the Black Tiger Village who had thrown away their weapons were kneeling in front of him. This had to make Butcher Chen wonder whether he was really the reincarnation of the heavenly warrior god.
, this appearance scared them silly?
The reason was so good that Butcher Chen had to be suspicious!
Naturally, Butcher Chen would not know what those people in Black Tiger Village were thinking!
But it doesn't matter what the people in Black Tiger Village think in front of them. What matters is that they have laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Butcher Chen didn't care why they surrendered, so he immediately sent someone up and asked them to tie each other's hands with belts or something, and then walked out on his own.
Well, you're not allowed to pick up weapons that are still on the ground.
Butcher Chen was also a little afraid of them pretending to surrender, so regardless of whether they were pretending to surrender or something else, he just came out empty-handed and tied his hands, so that Butcher Chen would not be afraid of them turning the world upside down.
"You guys, take the people behind and don't let those women and children cry. Tell them that if they don't mess around, they can save their lives and property!"
Butcher Chen knew very well the purpose of the Tang Dynasty King's expedition, which was for these people. Now that they have surrendered on their own initiative, they need to make arrangements and not make such a mess like now.
Before Butcher Chen's people could arrange the old and weak women and children, Fang Dongquan from behind also hurriedly arrived with his people.
When Fang Dongquan saw the crowds of people in the Black Tiger Village in darkness, he thought at first that Butcher Chen and the others had recovered the group of people after a hard fight, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see any traces of fighting.
There were no dead or injured people on the ground, not even blood.
So he walked up to Butcher Chen with doubts: "Old Chen, what's going on?"
Butcher Chen said: "I surrendered before I even beat them!"
Qian Mengjiu on the side was out of breath from exhaustion. After hearing this, he was surprised: "They... they surrendered without a fight?"
Butcher Chen nodded!
"Why?" At this time, both Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren looked disbelieving.
Butcher Chen muttered: "How do I know? I was just about to interrogate a few of them, and you guys came!"
At this time, Cai Erhu came out of nowhere and said: "I know, I know..."
After seeing that his words attracted everyone's attention, Cai Erhu showed off his merits and said: "We discussed it at the beginning, saying that if we can fight, we will fight, if we can't fight, we will escape, and if we can't escape, we will surrender!"
"They surrendered because they were stopped and couldn't escape!"
Fang Dongquan said: "Even if they are stopped, they can still escape. With just a few people like Lao Chen, can they still stop them all?"
Cai Erhu said: "Those young and strong people can definitely leave if they want to, but what about their wives, children, and parents?"
While speaking, Cai Erhu pointed at the large group of old, weak, women and children in the distance!
Looking at those old, weak, women and children, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and the others seemed to have some realization!
Although these young men in Black Tiger Village can escape, their parents, wives and children certainly cannot escape. Even if Butcher Chen leads a small number of people, there are still more than 40 people. Among these more than 40 people
Under threat, those old, weak, women and children absolutely cannot escape.
Not everyone is able to leave their family members and run away. Even the desperadoes from Jiguan Mountain did not flee after their defeat and leave their family members to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
He chose to surrender with his family.
Why?
First of all, Datang has promised many times that as long as they join Datang, they will not only save their lives, but also move to Huangzhushan and live a good farming life. In other words, as long as they surrender, not only will their lives be safe,
And the future life is still guaranteed.
Secondly, if these young men run away and leave their elderly parents, wives and children to the Huangzhushan bandits, then it is basically expected that the future of these old, weak, women and children will not be very good.
The wife will become the wife of another bandit, the parents will be short of food and clothing, and the child will most likely die without care.
And this kind of thing is not their blind worry, but a fact!
The Tang Dynasty's talk about the emperor's rain and dew, the emperor's grace and so on sounded nice, but in fact, every time they fought, the slogan was "grab food and snatch women"!
They are still a group of bandits at heart.
It is basically impossible for you to run away and still want your family to live well. After all, Huang Zhushan is not a charity.
You ran away on your own, and you still think that those bandits in Huangzhushan will help you support your family. What nonsense!
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why they chose to surrender.
Only half a day later, Wang Danxu suddenly said: "What will we do if the Ming army enters the mountain again? What will happen to our families?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's happiness was extinguished, and everyone became pensive.
But at this time, Cai Erhu said: "What are you afraid of when the officers and soldiers come? Didn't our Tang Dynasty repel them last time? If the officers and soldiers still dare to come, when the time comes, I, Cai Erhu, and General Chen will join forces to fight, and we will definitely be able to defeat them."
Those officers and soldiers killed the shit out of them!"
When Cai Erhu said this, his tone was very firm and full of confidence!
No matter what other people think, this is what he thinks. In the world, he is the most powerful general, and Chen Tufu is only a little bit worse than him. With the two of them joining forces, how can there be any rival?
Even if the county magistrate of Zhengtai County comes with his troops, he, Cai Erhu, has the courage to win!
In Cai Erhu's life, he has never seen anyone who can fight better than himself!
It's just that Cai Erhu forgot one thing. He has been wandering around in this mountain all his life and has never even been to Zhengtai County, so he can't imagine that there is anyone in the world who can fight better than him!
He didn't even know that because of the tragic defeat in Luohu Valley, Zeng Ziyun, a fifth-grade Qianhu, "died due to exhaustion," attracted the attention of the prefect, Song Zhiwen, and sent his confidants to Zhengtai County for this purpose.
The next time the Ming army comes to suppress, there will definitely not be only a few hundred people like last time!
