Chapter 329: Guo Qing's surrender
Looking at the head in the hands of the county soldier commander, Jiang Chen glanced at Li Yuan next to him.
Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him, Li Yuanyi smiled knowingly.
He walked forward and confirmed that the head in the county soldier commander's hand was indeed Wang Derun's head.
He turned around and nodded to Jiang Chen, after confirming the head.
Jiang Chen then dismounted, walked up to the commander of the county troops, and spoke to him.
"Why did you want to kill Wang Derun? Do you think I would accept the surrender of a man who killed his master?"
In response to Jiang Chen's question, the commander of the county troops smiled faintly and answered Jiang Chen.
"If you think I will betray you in the future, I am willing to commit suicide!"
"But before I commit suicide, I beg you to spare my brothers."
"They are innocent and joined the army just to make a living."
As he spoke, the commander of the county troops drew the sword from his waist.
After a flash of determination in his eyes , he wiped it towards his neck.
Seeing that the commander of the county soldiers was about to be killed on the spot, the county soldiers who had laid down their weapons shouted in shock.
"Commander, no!"
"Commander, if you die, we are willing to follow you!"
However, the persuasion of his subordinates did not impress the county military commander.
He was still determined to commit suicide with the sword in his hand.
Looking at this scene, and the loyalty of the county soldiers to this commander.
Jiang Chen's mouth corners slowly lifted up, and he winked at Li Yuanyi standing beside him.
Before the county troop commander could react, Li Yuanyi directly struck the sword out of his hand.
The county soldier commander, with his eyes closed, only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then the sword in his hand flew out.
In surprise, the county soldier commander opened his eyes and saw Jiang Chen looking at him with a smile.
"You are very good. What's your name?"
Looking at the county soldier commander who opened his eyes, Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"My name is Guo Qing, nice to meet you, Lord Marquis."
When Jiang Chen asked his name, the commander of the county soldiers came to his senses and quickly answered.
"Okay, Guo Qing, I'll keep this head for you for now."
"From now on, the lives of you and your brothers belong to me!"
"If you do anything to offend me or oppress the people in the future."
"When that happens, I will personally take your head away."
"Do you understand?!"
As Jiang Chen spoke, he coldly looked up and down the county soldier commander named Guo Qing.
As Jiang Chen's gaze swept over him.
Guo Qing instantly felt an extremely oppressive aura.
After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Guo Qing quickly knelt down on the ground.
After bowing deeply to Jiang Chen, he spoke loudly to Jiang Chen.
"General Guo Qing greets the lord!"
Seeing that their leader had surrendered to Jiang Chen, all the county soldiers knelt on the ground.
"We are waiting to see the Lord!"
Looking at the county soldiers kneeling in front of him, Jiang Chen nodded and waved his hand.
"Everyone, get up. I still need to go into the city."
"I am not familiar with the road, so let you lead the way."
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Guo Qing hurriedly stood up and spoke to the county soldiers.
“Hurry, follow me and open the way for the Lord!”
Under the leadership of Guo Qing, thousands of county soldiers turned around and headed towards the county seat of Chiwan County.
He walked in front of the Northern Army, leading the way for Jiang Chen.
In a short while, under the guidance of Guo Qing.
Jiang Chen brought 50,000 Northern Border cavalry, 3,000 soldiers from the Royal Guards, and 5,000 musketeers to the city of Chiwan County.
At this time, in the city of Chiwan County, more than 40,000 county soldiers were taken away by Wang Derun.
The remaining 5,000 defenders had already been brought under the command of the county magistrate.
The general on duty on the top of the city wall at this moment was one of the county magistrate's confidants.
Looking at the large army following Guo Qingren, the county magistrate's trusted guard was stunned at first.
But when he saw clearly that the flag of Jiang Chen and others was the flag of the Northern Territory.
He quickly turned around and ran down the city wall, coming to the house closest to the city gate.
Just as he was about to push open the door, the general heard the sounds of a man and a woman struggling in the room from time to time.
But the general didn't care about that at all and kicked the door open.
He said to the county magistrate who was lying on the bed with two prostitutes in his arms.
"Sir, the Northern Army has arrived and is now outside the city!"
The county magistrate, who was being affectionate with the woman in his arms, heard this.
"What!?"
"How can it be so fast? That's over 40,000 soldiers!"
Although the county magistrate had already chosen to join Jiang Chen, he did not expect this.
Jiang Chen was able to wipe out Wang Derun and more than 40,000 county soldiers in less than two hours.
Moreover, he appeared outside Chiwan County so quickly!
Thinking of this, the county magistrate had no time to think about anything else.
He simply pushed away the two prostitutes in his arms and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Then he said to his confidant who came to inform him, "Come on, follow me to welcome the true master of Chiwan County!"
"I will obey your orders."
Seeing that the county magistrate had put on his clothes, the general took him to the city gate.
After the city gate was opened at the order of the general, Guo Qingxian walked in with thousands of county soldiers.
Seeing that the leader was Guo Qing, the county magistrate rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Guo...Guo Qing, why here?"
Originally, the county magistrate thought that Guo Qing should have been buried with Wang Derun in the northern border camp long ago.
But he didn't expect that he hadn't even met Jiang Chen yet.
He first met his most capable subordinate when he was in charge of the county troops.
"Mr. County Magistrate, it's a long story. The Lord is right behind us. Let's welcome him into the city first!"
Looking at the county magistrate, Guo Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Now that he has joined Jiang Chen, he seems very embarrassed when facing his old boss.
After hearing what Guo Qing said, the county magistrate was slightly stunned and asked Guo Qing with his eyes wide open.
"From what you said, you have also surrendered to the lord?"
Facing the county magistrate's question, Guo Qing sighed helplessly.
"A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Since Wang Derun is a mediocre leader."
"Then why can't I, Guo Qing, choose an excellent lord to serve?"
After answering the county magistrate's questions, Guo Qing dismounted from his horse.
He stood by the roadside with a respectful look on his face, quietly waiting for Jiang Chen to enter the city.
Soon, greeted by the county magistrate and Guo Qing, Jiang Chen led 50,000 Northern Border cavalry into the city gate of Chiwan County.
Looking at the northern generals headed , the county magistrate couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He could clearly sense the powerful aura from Jiang Chen and others!
"Guo Qing, the person next to you is..."
He dismounted and threw the reins to a guard behind him.
He walked up to Jun Cheng and Guo Qing and asked in confusion.
