Chapter 78 Surrender
More than ten days later, Jiang Xiaobai was sitting in the room practicing when someone suddenly came to report that the four marshals were asked for an emergency meeting in the hall.
When Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the hall, he saw that there were people standing in the hall. The four marshals were standing in front. Before Jiang Xiaobai could sit down, Chen Jingru said, "Leader, it's not good!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Speak slowly!"
Chen Jingru said anxiously: "The enemy has increased its troops!"
Jiang Xiaobai was slightly surprised and said, "How much has it increased?"
Chen Jingru and Taoism: "About 200,000!"
Jiang Xiaobai was startled and said, "Are these officers and soldiers crazy?"
Chen Jingrudao: "That's right, we can't handle it even if there are more than 100,000 left. Now we have another 200,000. Even if our cultivation is not suppressed, we are powerless to restore the world!"
Yun Zhongyan said: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster. Since the government is shameless, instead of waiting for death, we will fight with them, kill one and make another. We will break through tonight. Life and death are from fate, and the preciousness is in heaven, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Break through? When the enemy is more than 100,000, we are not sure about breaking through, let alone now more than 300,000? The enemy is surrounded by layers of layers, and even flies cannot fly out. Even if you are lucky enough to kill, there will definitely be masters waiting for you on the periphery!"
Yun Zhongyan said: "That's better than waiting for death here for nothing. Have the leader thought that the government is so shameless. Even if we are lucky enough to win another battle, they will continue to replenish the source of troops, and our people will only fight less and less, and in the end they will die."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Are you scared?"
Yun Zhongyan didn't expect him to ask a little, and said in a daze: "We are just living with our heads on our way. What's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since you are not afraid, calm your mind down. Being restless and impatient is a taboo in the march. You also know that it is a blessing or a disaster, and that it is a disaster. Until the last moment, don't make a conclusion, even if you die, you will die clearly. Okay, you can go back first and let me think about it carefully."
Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't think of a better way. They were reluctant to break through and die, so they could only place their hopes on the leader of the alliance. They all responded and left dejectedly.
But Mrs. Yu stayed, and the only two of them were left in the huge hall.
Jiang Xiaobai put his hands on his back and forth in the hall, frowning.
Mrs. Yu said, "Brother, since things have come to this point, no matter who is the leader, it will be impossible to defeat the official army. Everyone knows this. Even if we lose so badly, no one will blame you. So don't overwork and let it come if you should!"
Jiang Xiaobai turned around and said, "Sister also thinks we will die?"
Mrs. Yu said, "I have a way!"
Jiang Xiaobai was excited and said, "Sister, tell me!"
Mrs. Yu said: "I will take you to break through tonight. It's just the two of us. We have Sutian Sword, so breaking through should be no problem!"
Jiang Xiaobai hesitated and said, "What about the others?"
Mrs. Yu said, "Do you think you can save other people now? Whether you stay or not, they are dead ends. Why bother to trap yourself again?"
Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes and shook his head, sighed, "Sister, you don't understand me. Since they chose me as the leader, they would hand over their lives to my hands, and that would be trusted in me. I, Jiang Xiaobai, can live up to anything in my life, but I can't bear to let down other people's trust in me."
Mrs. Yu said: "They have no choice but to choose you as the leader, and you don't want to do it either. At worst, we won't be the leader anymore. Wouldn't it be enough? Whoever loves to do it?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Sister, I am different from you. I am a man. Even if I die, I have to die with responsibility instead of shirking responsibility. Otherwise, what's the point if I live by chance?"
Mrs. Yu sighed, "I know."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You don't have to be disappointed. Breakthrough is the worst strategy. Even if you are lucky enough to break through the enemy's defense line, as long as the enemy's commander is not an idiot, once you leave the coverage area of the scattered Yuan blood mist, there will definitely be a purple fighter waiting for you on the outside, and it will be a dead end."
Mrs. Yu pondered, "Are we really going to die here?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Actually, the enemy has been holding on to the ground for a while, and I was a little doubtful in my heart whether they were waiting for reinforcements. If this is the case, how should I deal with it? After thinking about it, we only have one way to go now."
Mrs. Yu said, "Which road?"
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and then took a few moments to bite out two words: "Surrender!"
Mrs. Yu said in surprise: "Surrender? I'm afraid my brothers will disagree. What good end can we end up in the hands of the government army? It was not that no one surrendered before, but was imprisoned in the government prison and humiliated to death. For brothers, it would be better to fight to the death!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "There are many kinds of surrender. The conditions are in your own hands, it depends on how you use it!"
Mrs. Yu was stunned and said, "How do you say this?"
Jiang Xiaobai then took action, and Mrs. Yu put her ears over, and Jiang Xiaobai told her in detail.
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu frowned and said, "Are you gambling?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Life is a gamble!"
Mrs. Yu said, "Who are you going to surrender?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll go by myself."
Mrs. Yu said in surprise: "You don't need thousands of people, so why bother to take risks on your own?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'm not at ease with the others. Sister, are you willing to go deep into the tiger's den with me?"
Mrs. Yu pursed her lips and said, "As long as you take me, don't talk about tiger den, even hell, my sister will never frown."
Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes and sighed: "Trust is such a beautiful thing!"
The other three marshals had just returned to the defense ground and received the order from the leader of the alliance and said that there were important matters to discuss. The three thought that the leader had thought of a good plan to defeat the enemy, so each hurried over with more than ten subordinates.
Unexpectedly, the leader's good strategy to defeat the enemy was to surrender. Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and the hall suddenly became strange, leaving only eye contact.
After a long time, Chen Jingru stepped forward and said, "The leader, brothers all know that we have already entered a dead end and the chance of living is basically zero. But in our business, we are all concerned about happiness, either living or dying, living happily, and dying happily. There is no third way to go, and it is better to die if you don't live happily. Although we are afraid of death, we are even more afraid of life being worse than death. Since things have reached this point, the leader has tried our best. We all see it. Even if we die, we will never blame the leader in our hearts."
The others were speechless after hearing this, which means they politely rejected Jiang Xiaobai's suggestion to surrender.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Do you trust me?"
Chen Jingrudao: "What is the leader saying? If we don't trust you, why choose you as the leader?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Then do you believe that this leader can take you out of Zhenxian Mountain alive, instead of going into the prison of the government?"
Everyone looked at each other again.
Chen Jingru and Tao: "How do you explain this to the leader?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I want you one word now, trust or distrust? If you trust, don't ask why. If you don't trust, I will hand over the Sutian Sword and you will re-select the leader!"
Everyone is looking at me again, and I look at you, but no one can come up with a better solution. They all think, no matter whether they believe it or not, it is a dead end now, just treat it as a dead horse as a living horse. If you really surrender and be humiliated, it will not be too late to work hard at that time.
Chen Jingru said: "We absolutely trust the leader!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is settled like this. Leave the rest to me!"
Chen Jingrudao: "Who will the leader decide to hand over the surrender letter?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll go in person!"
Everyone was shocked.
Chen Jingru said anxiously: "The leader must not be. No matter what, you are the leader now. If you go, if something happens, we will be a group of dragons without a head, a pile of sand!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Anyway, you are already dying now. If a group of dragons has a head, it means death, and if a group of dragons has no head, it means death. But the way of death is different, why bother to think about so much?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Although we say that, we must also want to live for two more days. If the leader of the alliance is in an accident, we will definitely not be able to live for the last two days!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Do you think I want to go? I also want to live two more days in a moisturizing way! But if everyone wants to live two more days, no one will survive in the end. If any of you are sure to take your brothers out of Zhenxian Mountain alive, I really don't want to go."
It is right for everyone to think about it. Death may be easy for them, but letting them go deep into the tiger's den, deal with the enemy alone, and taking their brothers out alive, no one has the confidence to do so. In their eyes, isn't surrender just kneeling down and begging for mercy? How can there be so many things to pay attention to?
Jiang Xiaobai's figure instantly became much taller in their eyes. Not everyone could get this courage alone.
Chen Jingrudao: "But the leader, have you ever thought about it? Even if we are willing to surrender, the official army may not be surrendered!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since I have decided to surrender, there must be a way to let them surrender. You don't need to worry about this. You are responsible for finding someone with better literary talent and drafting a book of surrender."
Chen Jingru was stunned and said, "We are all bandits, so how can we have good literary talent?"
Wang Qinghu was also in the hall at this time, and stood up and said, "I'll write!"
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai notice the existence of this surrender master, and did not doubt his at all his accomplishments in surrender, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
He called Wang Qinghu aside and told him his general intention. Wang Qinghu nodded happily, returned to the room to find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After a while, he wrote the book in the lower book. It was really done in one go, and it was very casual.
Chapter completed!
