Luo Feiyu looked at Qin Shubao, supported his hands on the desk table, and said with a smile: "I am not urging you to join the Jiangdu Army now. I am just discussing with you the wealth and lives of so many soldiers under you."

Qin Shubao remained silent.

"I heard that General Qin has served under General Zhang Xutuo?" Luo Feiyu asked.

"Yes." Qin Shubao replied.

He looked at Luo Feiyu with some confusion, wondering why Luo Feiyu suddenly mentioned this.

"At Dahai Temple, General Zhang Xutuo was defeated and had already broken out, but in order to rescue the besieged soldiers, he went in and out several times, and finally died in the battlefield by the Wagang army." Luo Feiyu said, "General Qin also had the style of General Zhang. All the wounded were brought back to the camp and healed with all his heart. But what was General Qin going to do? What was he going to plan to continue to confront the Wagang army led by Chen Luoyan here?"

Qin Shubao was silent, looked down at the map, and fell into deep thought.

Luo Feiyu continued, "I am so frank, you can't get through this level of Shen Luoyan. Wang Shichong, who is stationed in Dongping County, does not have the awareness of being loyal to the emperor as General Qin. As long as Shen Luoyan sends people to spread rumors, he will definitely remain calm. But with these soldiers now, how easy is it to defeat Shen Luoyan?"

"The sinking geese are not strong enough to worry about the military strength." Qin Shubao said.

Luo Feiyu laughed and said bluntly: "I'm afraid General Qin himself won't believe this."

Before Qin Shubao could speak, Luo Feiyu continued, "I'll just say it. General Qin gave up Xia Pi this time and led his army north to travel lightly. He didn't have enough food and grass. He had some ways to make the general unable to make progress. Then, he looked for a fighter opportunity and defeated the general in one fell swoop."

This time, although Qin Shubao still kept silent, he sighed softly.

"The only way for the general and the soldiers to live is to return to Xia Pi City!" Luo Feiyu said with certainty, "Whether the foolish lord Yang Guang and the court controlled by the Yuwen and Dugu families are still worthy of the general's loyalty, let's not talk about it. The general can continue to wait and see in Xia Pi City. Food and supplies can be supplied by Jiangdu, but the general has to pay. In the future, the general will definitely welcome him. If the general wants to join Jiangdu, he will definitely be loyal to the emperor. If he wants to lead his army back to Luoyang, I can let you go. What do you think of this proposal?"

Qin Shubao looked up, his eyes were bright, and he pondered for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "Can you really let me lead my army away?"

Luo Feiyu shrugged and replied, "Why not? There are so many people under the general who are under the siege of various forces. Even if he returns to Luoyang, he will only have a few more flags to take the blame, and it will not change the overall situation."

He was so heartbroken that he was heartbroken. Qin Shubao sighed, lowered his head and stared at the map, shook his head helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to return to Xia Pi..."

"You have to hurry up and set off overnight before Shen Luoyan could react." Luo Feiyu took the conversation and said.

Bang!

Qin Shubao punched the desk with a punch, making a loud bang.

"It seems that the general has made up his mind." Luo Feiyu smiled, "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye first and not disturb the general."

Qin Shubao raised his head, clasped his fists with his hands, and said solemnly: "I hope General Luo can keep what he said tonight!"

Luo Feiyu laughed and replied: "The road is far away and the horse's strength will be seen, and people's hearts will be seen over time! Goodbye!"

He left the camp and returned to the hillside. When he looked back, although the camp of the Sui army was still dark, it was obviously full of commotion.

Yun Yuzhen came up and asked, "What's going on? Have you convinced Uncle Qin?"

Luo Feiyu laughed and replied, "Yes! Let's go, we have to rush back overnight and wait for Qin Shubao in Xiapi City."

...

In Xiapi City, Feiyun has been docked at the wharf, and You Yuqing and others have not got off the ship. They have dedicated people to go down to manage the procurement of materials.

After Luo Feiyu and Yun Yuzhen returned, they waited for another day before the Sui army led by Qin Shubao rushed back to Xiapi City.

Luo Feiyu met Qin Shubao again in the Xiapi City Guardian to reach a consensus. He could buy the food, grass and supplies needed by Qin Shubao, the Sui army, from Jiangdu, and the price was at the market. If he eventually chose to be loyal to the court and follow the court's orders to lead the army to leave, Luo Feiyu would let the Jiangdu army go and let him lead the army to leave.

The entire Xiapi County has been divided into pieces and divided up by various forces.

Huaiyang and Su Yu fell into Luo Feiyu's hands. When Qin Shubao gathered the army and gave up Xia Pi, he first realized that the soldiers were not bloody and had just picked up these two cities for nothing.

Now Qin Shubao leads more than 10,000 remaining Sui troops back to Xiapi City, but he is not completely dependent on Luo Feiyu, which means that the two have reached a tacit understanding.

Luo Feiyu was still one step late in Xuyi, where the intersection of Huai River and Tongji Canal, and was taken over by the Jianghuai Army.

This is also due to Du Fuwei personally leading an army from Liyang to Huaishui, intercepting Haisha Gang Han Gaitian and others, and accidentally hit him.

Such a result was nothing unacceptable for Luo Feiyu. Xia Pi County had fallen into his hands along the Si River and the tentacles of the power crossed the Huai River and reached into the Central Plains, which was an unexpected surprise.

After dealing with these things, Feiyun drove away from Xia Pi City, walked up the Si River, and headed to Pengcheng.

...

Pengcheng is quite prosperous and lively, and it is beyond the expectations of Luo Feiyu and others.

The situation in this area is complicated, and the territories of various forces are intertwined and restrained, creating a place like Pengcheng, which is like the eye of a storm, enjoying a moment of peace in the chaotic world.

To the east of Pengcheng are Xia Pi, Donghai and Langya counties, which are divided into the Sui army, and are occupied by Li Zitong and Xu Yuanlang.

To the north are Lu County and Dongping County, which are still under the control of the Sui Army.

To the west are Liang County, Jiyin County and Qiao County. Among them, Jiyin County is occupied by Meng Haigong. He nominally relies on the Wagang Army, but in fact he leads his own army, which is somewhat similar to the consensus reached between Qin Shubao and Luo Feiyu. Qiao County is controlled by the Sui Army, but it looks like a perfect match.

South of the Huai River is Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army.

Pengcheng and Liang County are the real leaders of Peng Lianghui, who is ranked among the eighth gangs and tenth gangs. The leader of the association, Nie Jing, was very strategic. He neither raised his troops to raise the flag of the enemy nor attached to any force. This made Pengliang County maintain a transcendent neutral attitude, but instead prevented the war from being damaged.

Before arriving in Pengcheng, Yun Yuzhen explained the situation here in detail to Luo Feiyu and others, but You Yuqing lacked interest in these things, but Luo Feiyu asked in detail.

Yun Yu really didn't make a big splash in terms of collecting intelligence and integrating analysis. She herself is very talented in this regard, and the intelligence network built by her subordinates is also a major advantage of the Jukun Gang.

Although the Feiyun ship was delayed in Xiapi City for a few days, when it arrived in Pengcheng, the large ship of the Dongming Sect's Ranxiang ship still stayed at the dock of Pengcheng, and stopped for several days.

Luo Feiyu was a little confused. What is the Dongming Sect doing? Could it be that the Piaoxiang Sect left Jiangdu and returned to Liuqiu, but it was just a cover? In fact, the people of the Dongming Sect and those account books were still on this Ranxiang Sect?

Is it as simple as collecting accounts and accepting new weapons orders?
