"Is this true?" Chen Youlong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and then said, "I'm sure that although I have many bandits in Guangdong, most of them are not worthy of trouble. Only the strongest one is very annoying. This bandit is stationed in Enping. The leader is named Wang Xing. Because he is brave and meticulous in encountering problems, he is called "embroidery needle". There are about two thousand bandits. Relying on favorable terrain, and with muskets and cannons in his hands, he often fights against the government. I have sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they all return in a desperate situation. I am so ashamed."

When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he was immediately happy because he had heard of Wang Xing's name, which was also a brave general who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was a pity that the strength of the enemy and us were very different. In the end, even if he had the courage of the overlord, Kong Ming's wisdom would not be able to turn the world back.

"But now is not the time to be unable to turn things around. As long as we prepare for the future and gather strength, we still have the power to fight against the Qing army, and it is even possible to win the battle."

Ma Mingfeng felt that the so-called preparation in advance and gathering strength means trying to recruit soldiers, recruit talents, create new equipment, and train elite soldiers. In order to achieve this goal, Ma Mingfeng can now be said to be at all costs.

Because of this reason, when he heard about the character Wang Xing, Ma Mingfeng decided to try his best to recruit him.

The so-called attempt to do everything is to treat others with sincerity. Ma Mingfeng decided to go to the camp of Enping Wang Xing alone to surrender Wang Xing with sincerity.

When Chen Youlong heard this, he immediately expressed his strong opposition. Even Yu Chenglong and others expressed their opposition, because Ma Mingfeng was too risky to do this. Yu Chenglong's opinion, the safest way is to disguise himself as a Guangdong army, lure Wang Xing to come and fight, and then defeat him through ambush, and then show his sincerity and surrender him.

It has to be said that this is a safe suggestion, but in this way, the two sides will have to fight. Although their side will eventually win and Wang Xing is extremely likely to surrender, it will also cause many unnecessary casualties. In this way, even if the other side chooses to surrender, the gap and conflicts between the two sides will take a long time to resolve.

When Ma Mingfeng recruited some peasant troops under Li Zicheng's command, it also caused a long period of estrangement and conflict between the surrendered peasant troops and the officers and soldiers. It took Ma Mingfeng a long time to finally resolve it.

What Ma Mingfeng cannot afford now is time. Li Zicheng has conquered Shanxi and will soon be able to reach the capital. By then, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger. Once the rebel army captures the capital, it will soon face a decisive battle with the Qing army. Now without Chen Yuanyuan, Ma Mingfeng expects that Wu Sangui will not surrender to the Qing army, thus gaining some time for the Southern Ming Dynasty.

However, Ma Mingfeng knew that he could not put everything on the treacherous hero Wu Sangui. At present, the most urgent thing was to try every means to improve the strength of several sides, so as to gain more chances of winning in the duel with the Qing army.

Therefore, now Ma Mingfeng would rather take a risk than let the people under the Warrior Wang Xing form a barrier with his main team.

Seeing that Ma Mingfeng insisted on leaving, Chen Youlong was also shocked. Although he had no choice but to the bandits, it did not mean that he had no brains. He could understand why Ma Mingfeng was willing to surrender Wang Xing alone, so he personally promised Ma Mingfeng that as long as Wang Xing was willing to surrender, he was willing to give 30,000 taels of silver to reward him, and was willing to write a letter to Chongzhen and recommend Wang Xing as the general.

However, Ma Mingfeng refused to reward the silver and said to Chen Youlong: "If you can succeed by chance this time, the subordinates will not reward the silver. However, there will be something to ask for, so please help me."

"Oh? I don't know what it is? But please rest assured that as long as my father can do it, he will do his best." Chen Youlong felt that he had never made such a solemn promise to anyone in his life, and he felt extremely admired for the courage of this young man, for nothing else.

Even Chen Youlong thought so, and Yu Chenglong was even more shocked. He had defected to Ma Mingfeng before, just out of repaying kindness, but now when he saw that Ma Mingfeng's personality was so brave, although it was indeed a bit risky to do so, once he succeeded, he naturally had the greatest gain.

However, it is probably difficult to accomplish this matter. Yu Chenglong really couldn't imagine that Ma Mingfeng knew nothing about Wang Xing, so he was sure to surrender him?

"But the Governor has never been an impulsive person. Is he really sure of doing this? But he has never seen this Wang Xing before, probably never even heard of it. He dared to go up the mountain alone. What kind of power is there behind this?"

Yu Chenglong was puzzled. He could never have thought that Ma Mingfeng had heard of Wang Xing in later history books, and knew that he was a loyal and righteous person, so he dared to take a try and exchange the smallest cost for the greatest profit.

The mighty generals under Ma Mingfeng were also very worried, so they proposed to accompany Ma Mingfeng, but Ma Mingfeng did not refuse, but he also needed someone to lead the army and preside over the situation, so he asked Gao Jie and Cao Yuansu to accompany him to Enping.

These two people are not only skilled in martial arts, but also have a smart mind and know how to adapt to changes flexibly. With them, they have a lot of guarantees.

"Sir, do you really want to take risks like this?" Jiang Pingjie was a little worried and said softly: "Actually, Mr. Yu's suggestions are also very good. They can not only guarantee the surrender of Wang Xing, but also guarantee the safety of the adult..."

Ma Mingfeng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I heard that Wang Xing, as a bandit, is also loyal and righteous. I believe that with my three-inch tongue, he can successfully surrender him. After all, time is not enough. Treating people with sincerity at this time is the most direct and effective way."

"But that's just hearsay after all. If Wang Xing was a vicious person, I'm afraid that the lord's trip would not be so smooth..."

Jiang Pingjie's face was full of worry, and suddenly spoke, "Otherwise, I will lead the army to drive our 10,000 troops to the foot of the mountain, and let my subordinates pretend to be the elders to take people up the mountain to show their sincerity. I believe that Wang Xing will definitely know the best and wrong and lead the army to surrender."

"Haha, there is no need for this. Once this happens, Wang Xing doubts my sincerity. I believe that this time I still have more than 80% chance of success. Even if the other party is really determined to be a rebel, he will definitely care about the face of the court. At most, he will just put me under house arrest and then use me as a hostage to seek benefits. So no matter what, I am in danger of life."
