The shortest distance from Jiajinkou to Ruzhou is to cross the pass of Songshan and Shaoshishan, and go south through Dengfeng, which is only more than 300 miles. If the road is flat and easy to walk, you need to detour from Yichuan, which is more than 600 miles long.

Lin Chunhong tried to go south and naturally chose to cross the pass between Songshan and Shaoshishan. After all, Bai Gan soldiers and Luo Rucai fought on the front line between Yiyang and Yichuan. Once the huge elephant of the Jingzhou army passed by Yichuan, the balance would completely lose balance, and the consequences were unpredictable.

More importantly, the Jingzhou army headed south from Yichuan and would be on the west side of Zhang Xianzhong's army. In addition to forcing Zhang Xianzhong to get close to Li Dingguo, it also blocked Zhang Xianzhong's road into the Lu family mountain area, which Lin Chunhong could not accept.

On March 25, the Jingzhou army began to set up camp. Before leaving Jiajinkou, Lin Chunhong ordered the guards to bring Ainengqi to his presence.

Ainengqi was defeated one after another and chose to surrender humiliatedly. Logically, he should have been disappointed. However, what surprised Lin Chunhong was that Ainengqi was still alive and energetic.

He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face, and a very high nose bridge. He looked like a handsome guy. Lin Chunhong secretly called himself Qi. Ainengqi's handsomeness was no less than Liu Wenxiu. Could it be that there were handsome guys in northern Shaanxi? I ​​guess the girls in northern Shaanxi were also good, so how could they hear Mizhi's wife Suide's man?

Lin Chunhong shook his head and drove away these messy thoughts, leaned on the handsome chair casually, and asked:

"A strong man, can you surrender today?"

Ainengqi blurted out without hesitation, "So what if you surrender, so what if you surrender?"

Lin Chunhong said: "If you are willing to surrender, you will salute me the governor, and in the future, you will be a small soldier in the Jingzhou army and fight on the battlefield. If you are unwilling to surrender, you will set off immediately and go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to mine and atone for your sins, and restore your freedom in five years."

"Atonement? What sins can I redeem?" Ainengqi opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Two years ago, Gao Yingxiang was arrogant and said that he was an official and forced the people to rebel, and was not guilty. Many of the excuses made me angry and pulled me out and chopped my head. Do you also want to try my sword?

Ainengqi sneered: "I was ready for Lingchi to surrender that day, so why should I behead my head?"

Lin Chunhong was not angry at all, but said in a temptation: "Before the Jiajinkou encirclement, if the governor was not as good as he expected, Zhang Xianzhong should have given you an order, saying that when the end of the road, if this governor can agree to the conditions for living in Jingzhou, he will surrender, right?"

Ainengqi was shocked and said to himself, how did he know such a secret matter? Is there an insider around his adoptive father? Even though he thought so, Ainengqi still said stubbornly: "Now I am my life holding your hand, so naturally whatever you say is what you say!"

Lin Chunhong sneered: "Zhang Xianzhong's good calculations are nothing more than provoking the relationship between Jingzhou and the court, so as to make profits from it. Zhang Xianzhong calculated everything but missed a little..."

Lin Chunhong deliberately stopped talking and stared at Ai Nengqi with a sharp look. Ai Nengqi was scheming but Lin Chunhong's opponent. Sure enough, he got the trap and blurted out, "What did you miss it?"

Lin Chunhong laughed: "So, do you admit that Zhang Xianzhong has this plan? What did he missed, I will tell you, listen carefully: the 200,000 rabies in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are not opponents of more than 30,000 Jingzhou Army, and I am not boasting. Even if Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong and Ma Xianglin join forces with you to fight against the Jingzhou Army, the Jingzhou Army can still win. Do you believe this?"

This was extremely arrogant, which made Ai Nengqi want to refute it. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not impossible. After experiencing the battle between Biyang and Jiajinkou, Ai Nengqi's combat effectiveness against the Jingzhou Army was unforgettable. How could he not know that the Jingzhou Army did not use all its strength on the Henan battlefield?

Ainengqi's face turned red. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "By chance, the Jingzhou army may not be defeated."

Lin Chunhong snorted and said, "Any conspiracy must be based on strength. Even if Zhang Xianzhong's treacherous plan succeeds, what can he do to the Jingzhou army? This is what Zhang Xianzhong misses to calculate, do you understand?"

Ainengqi was speechless and could not speak a word.

Lin Chunhong didn't care what Ainengqi was thinking, and pointed at the map and said to Ainengqi: "Look at this map, just by the familiarity between Jingzhou Army and Henan's mountains and geography, the combat power of the Jingzhou Army is not comparable to that of the court and you!"

Ainengqi was in a state of dismay. Today, he realized that the reputation of Jingzhou Army being undefeated was not the artillery, plate armor, muskets and other weapons that he had seen on the surface. All aspects contained in them were completely beyond his imagination.

Lin Chunhong looked at Ai Nengqi coldly and continued to attack Ai Nengqi's psychological defense: "The Jingzhou army has already set its camp and will soon cross the pass between Shaoshishan and Songshan and enter the Ruzhou battlefield. Zhang Xianzhong and Qian Zuozheng's villages are entangled and cannot move forward half a step. If the Jingzhou army enters the Ruzhou battle again, what do you think will happen?"

Ainengqi drooped his head and whispered: "If there is no accident, you will be defeated."

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "Zhang Xianzhong will not be defeated, because I don't want him to be defeated. Three days ago, Li Dingguo hijacked my food and grass in Lushan, and is still cruising on Fangcheng and the Lushan line, trying to cut off my food route. Tell me, if I try my best to attack Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters, what will Zhang Xianzhong do? Will it make Li Dingguo step up to destroy my food route?"

Ainengqi suddenly woke up, and almost burst out of fire from his eyes, and he said hatefully: "It turns out that your attack on Ruzhou is fake, and the real purpose is to attack Li Dingguo!"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Just as you see this, you can occupy a place in the Jingzhou army. Yes, I will do my best to attack Zhang Xianzhong in Ruzhou, and then immediately insert between Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo, turning Li Dingguo into an isolated army."

Ainengqi clenched his fist tightly, pinching his fingers until they turned white, and his nose was panting heavily, almost mad.

"How? Is it going to drop now?"

Ainengqi, under the escort of two guards, still struggled desperately and shouted: "Despicable! Shameless! I will never surrender even if I die! If Li Dingguo has a few good and bad things, I will not let you go if I become a ghost!"

Lin Chunhong stepped forward and patted Ai Nengqi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo, I can't bear to kill you. Although Zhang Xianzhong is cruel and bloodthirsty, his eyes are good. His adopted sons are outstanding! It's really admirable."
