Qin Qiong did not return to the camp, but returned to the commander's tent. Pei Renji's personal soldiers were busy packing up their belongings, and Xiao Huairang's head was also taken away.

"How, how do they choose?" Pei In-ki walked up to ask.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, they said they would go back and discuss it. The matter was too sudden and they were unprepared."

Pei Renji snorted coldly, turned around and ordered several personal soldiers to say, "Go and keep an eye on the Jia family and son. If they have any signs of leaving the camp, please inform me immediately!"

Several personal soldiers rushed away, and Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't the general let them leave?"

"Half of my army is from Qi County. If their father and son leave, it will have a great influence on Qi County soldiers, and people's hearts will be disintegrated. Others can leave, but they can't leave!"

Qin Qiong was speechless. He has always been Pei Renji's confidant. He has now been promoted to Huya Lang. It can be said that he was promoted by Pei Renji. Pei Renji was as kind as a mountain to him, so of course he would follow him, but he couldn't understand why he surrendered to Wagang.

After a while, Qin Qiong asked in a low voice: "Master, do we have no other choice?"

"Don't you want to surrender to Wagang?" Pei Renji stared at him with bright eyes.

Qin Qiong shook his head, "I am willing to follow the Grand Marshal, but I really don't want to surrender to Wagang again."

Pei Renji laughed, "Surrendering to Wagang is just a saying. No matter how poor I am, Pei Renji, will not surrender to the rioters. I am just afraid that the Wagang army will take the opportunity to attack us. I know that the Wagang army has installed many spies in the barracks. In this way, I can stabilize Wagang and give me time to evacuate."

Qin Qiong was stunned, "The handsome man wants to-"

"I actually want to go to Taiyuan to join Li Yuan."

Pei Renji took out a letter and handed it to Qin Qiong, "This is a letter written to me by Mr. Li. I just received this letter the night before yesterday. Li Yuan had already raised an army in Taiyuan and specially invited me to develop in Taiyuan. I have agreed to him."

Qin Qiong's heart was in chaos. He never thought that Pei Renji would surrender to Li Yuan. He took the letter and looked blankly, and returned the letter to Pei Renji. "But" Qin Qiong didn't know what to say.

Although he was unwilling to surrender to Wagang, he was also confused when surrendering to Li Yuan. In fact, he was not mentally prepared no matter who surrendered.

Pei Renji patted Qin Qiong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Many people say Zhang Xuan is good, but I still think that the Guanlong nobles are the masters of the world. When they established the Sui Dynasty, they would also establish another dynasty. At this critical moment, you must not be in the wrong team. Shubao, although you are from Qi County, you are not a genius, and you have no problem with joining the Guanlong nobles. You will not be wrong if you follow me."

Qin Qiong was silent for a moment and said again: "What should Yuan Qing do?"

Pei Renji smiled, "I have written to him and asked him to come to Jijun immediately to meet me. I hope he would better bring one or two thousand cavalry over there, so that my capital to surrender to Li Yuan will be more sufficient."

At this moment, a personal soldier rushed into the tent and reported loudly: "Report to the Grand Marshal, the Jia father and son have already rode out of the camp, and there is no trace!"

Pei Renji was stunned and gritted her teeth for a while and said, "The cunning guy, let's escape quickly!"

Pei Renji said to Qin Qiong again: "I have to set out in advance. Shubao goes back to clean up, and the army sets off in an hour."

Qin Qiong returned to his big tent, but was not in a hurry to clean up. Instead, he plunged his hands on the military carpet and looked at the top of the tent in a daze. His heart was no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning. He had a clear choice in his heart, either to follow Pei Renji to Taiyuan to surrender to Li Yuan, or to follow the example of Jia’s father and son and escape to Zhang Xuan. Then where should Qin Qiong go?

Li Yuan’s background on the Long nobles was the backstage, and what background did Zhang Xuan have? Although he was the son-in-law of the Lu family, the Lu family was just an ordinary gentry in Hebei. In terms of strength and financial resources, they were far from comparable to the Guanlong nobles.

Qin Qiong's heart began to become clearer. Pei Renji's choice was actually not wrong. He, Qin Qiong, should also have his own choice. Li Yuan is undoubtedly the best good tree.

Although his friends and family are all in Qijun, for his own future, these are nothing. When he returns home in glory, his friends and family will naturally understand his choice.

Qin Qiong immediately stood up and ordered: "Closing the tent immediately and getting ready to set off!"

Although the claim that Pei Renji surrendered to Wagang caused temporary chaos in the army, it did buy him time. Zhai Rang was confused by this and ordered that the army not be allowed to go to war with Pei Renji again and accurately welcome Pei Renji's surrender.

Shan Xiongxin's army and Hao Xiaode's army, which were facing Pei Renji, did not take advantage of the internal strife of the Sui army, but watched Pei Renji's army retreat northward. When Zhai Rang finally understood that Pei Renji's sincerity had not surrendered, Pei Renji's army had already crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin.

Although Zhai Rang was deceived by Pei Renji for a moment, Pei Renji's retreat to the north gave Wagang army no longer any obstacles. The 60,000 Wagang army immediately divided into three groups to attack all over the Central Plains.

They opened the official warehouse to provide relief to the victims, and received the enthusiastic support of the victims in the Central Plains. The territory of the Wagang Army began to expand rapidly, and the number of troops also soared from 60,000 to 120,000 in just a few days, and the number of troops doubled.

Qingzhou was not affected by the expansion of Wagang, and relief to the victims was still in full swing. Pei Ju stayed in Beihai County for a few days and arrived in Qinghe County by boat.

According to the system, he had to read the imperial edict to Zhang Xuan in Qinghe County. Although everyone knew that Qingzhou was Zhang Xuan's nest, Zhang Xuan was a recruiter from Hebei and was the governor of Qinghe County, and had nothing to do with Qingzhou.

Especially when the Sui Dynasty was in chaos, Pei Ju was more cautious and cautious, fearing that someone would be caught. Moreover, he suspected that the emperor sent him to pronounce the imperial edict to Zhang Xuan. This was a test in itself, and I believe that someone would secretly report to the emperor whenever he made every move in Qingzhou.

Just when Pei Ju had just arrived in Qinghe County, the news of Li Yuan's rebellion and Pei Renji's killing of the army to retreat north spread to Qingzhou and Hebei. The military and civilians in various places were in an uproar, and many people realized that chaos in the world was coming.

The most direct manifestation is that the rice price suddenly rose. In just half a day, it rose from a hundred coins to a hundred coins of rice to 130 coins of rice, a total of 30%, which immediately triggered a trend of rice grabbing in Qingzhou and Hebei.

In the Gaotang County Inn, Pei Ju walked worriedly in the lobby with his hands behind his back. Although Li Yuan's rebellion was expected, his rebellion caught him off guard.

Pei Renji did not report to him in advance and made a decision without reporting to Pei Ju. What annoyed Pei Ju even more was that Pei Renji directly used a civilian boat to cross the Yellow River and headed to the northwest direction. It was obvious that he was going to Bingzhou to join Li Yuan. Pei Renji still did not report to himself about this.

Although Pei Ju did not object to Pei Renji but defected to Li Yuan, as a member of the family, Pei Renji did not report to the head of the family, where did he place himself and where did the family?

Pei Ju smelled a dangerous smell, like a burning bedding. He must not tolerate this matter. Pei Renji must apologize and accept punishment, otherwise the Pei family will be in chaos.

While thinking, the follower's report suddenly came from the yard: "Report to Mr. Pei, Mr. Yuanqing is here!"

Pei Ju was stunned. He initially thought it was his grandson Pei Hong who came, but immediately realized that it was not Pei Hong, but Pei Xingyan who came. Pei Ju hurriedly said, "Let him in!"

Soon, Pei Xingyan, who was exhausted, quickly walked to the lobby and knelt down to salute, "Sun'er Yuanqing met with his grandfather!"

Seeing that Pei Xingyan was still wearing armor, Pei Ju asked with a smile: "Are you just coming back from a war?"

"Qi Bibi Grandfather and grandson were still maintaining orders for the victims in Jibei County this morning. Unexpectedly, after receiving a letter from his father, the grandson ran away to see the grandfather of the clan before he took off his armor."

Pei Ju immediately understood, and he nodded secretly. Pei Renji was not even as good as his own son. Yuan Qing also knew that he had a big deal and reported it to him, but what about him?

"Yuanqing, what did your father say in the letter?"

Pei Xingyan took out his letter in his arms and presented it to Pei Ju, "Please take a look at it!"

Pei Ju took the letter and opened it. It turned out that Pei Renji wanted his son to take a cavalry to Jijun to meet him. Pei Ju snorted in his heart, Pei Renji is very good at poaching! He actually asked his son to take the cavalry away. Zhang Xuan could not hate the Pei family to the core. What should he do if his grandson Pei Hong?

"What's your attitude?"
