Zhou Tai agreed to surrender, and the people under his command were able to save their lives.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad they survived.However, after Zhou Tai surrendered, problems also followed.Zhou Tai can no longer stay in the Yangtze River, and must go north with Wang Lei.According to Wang Lei's arrangement, people who are willing to follow Zhou Tai will go to Jingzhou with Wang Lei and his party.Those who don't want to leave, stay on the river and continue to make a living.

When the news came out, Jiang Qin chose to stay without hesitation.With Jiang Qin taking the lead, there were only a handful of Zhou Tai's people who were really willing to go north, and almost all of them chose to stay with Jiang Qin.

Without Gan Ning and Zhou Tai on the river, Jiang Qin could dominate.

More importantly, Jiang Qin believed that Wang Lei admired Zhou Tai but did not pay enough attention to him. In addition, Jiang Qin was from Jiujiang and was unwilling to leave his hometown. Several reasons combined, and Jiang Qin resolutely chose to stay.

In this regard, Wang Lei did not stop.

Everyone has their own choice, Jiang Qin decided to stay, and Wang Lei followed Jiang Qin's opinion.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were about to separate, and their hearts were full of reluctance.

However, Zhou Tai earnestly persuaded Jiang Qin to go north together, but he could not change Jiang Qin's decision.One after another the big ships headed west, and after entering the territory of Jiujiang County, they soon came to Zhou Tai's old lair.

Jiang Qin and those who were willing to stay brought the boats into the pier to berth.

On the pier, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin said goodbye.

Zhou Tai said with a look of reluctance, "Gong Yi, I still hope you leave with me."

Jiang Qin shook his head and said, "No, I want to take care of our foundation."

Zhou Tai had no choice but to sigh and said: "Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. If you don't want to leave, I won't force you. You stay, I hope you will cherish it."

In fact, Jiang Qin was also reluctant to part with Zhou Tai. After thinking about it, he persuaded him: "You Ping, I know you don't really want to submit to Wang Lei. Although we lost to Gan Ning, we have already returned to Dazhai, and there are other brothers in the village. As long as Say hello, and you can fight again immediately. Even if you can't defeat Wang Lei, you are not afraid of the opponent. If you don't leave, no one can force you."

Zhou Tai smiled, shook his head, and said, "A man of integrity, every spittle is a nail, and what you say cannot be changed. Since I have already agreed to surrender, naturally I cannot go back on my word."

After a pause, Zhou Tai said again: "To be honest, following Wang Lei is not a bad thing. Working for Wang Lei will change my identity and status, and the road ahead will be broader. Besides, a man with ambitions everywhere, It’s okay to leave Jiujiang, making contributions is my pursuit. Gongyi, I really hope you can leave with me.”

Jiang Qin shook his head firmly and said, "No, I choose to stay, and I will not abandon my brothers."

In one sentence, Zhou Tai's mouth was blocked.

At this time, Gan Ning strode over and said, "Jiang Qin, if we lead our troops northward, the ships we have will be useless. These ships will be discarded when they arrive in Jingzhou. Why don't you send some people to go to Jingzhou with us?" .After we disembark in Jingzhou, your people can sail back."

Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange people immediately." With all of Gan Ning's ships, Jiang Qin's strength can go up to a higher level.

Even if you don't have enough people under your command, just recruit people.

These days, there are countless people who don't have enough to eat, and he can make people have enough to eat, and that's enough.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin bid farewell, and Wang Lei, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Gan Ning and his party continued west by boat, heading for Jingzhou.The Jinfan banner was displayed, and the journey was safe and sound, no one rushed to attack.

The fleet entered Jiangxia County without hindrance.When you arrive at Hanshui, go north along the Hanshui River and go straight to Xiangyang.

The news of Wang Lei's return to Xiangyang was sent back early.

Like last time, Liu Biao personally led people out of the city to meet him.What Liu Biao valued was not only Dong Zhuo behind Wang Lei, but also the power that Wang Lei possessed.Jizhou and Jingzhou are separated by Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but Liu Biao and Wang Lei have a closer relationship. At critical times, Wang Lei may help Liu Biao, which will be of immeasurable benefit to Liu Biao.Therefore, Liu Biao went out to meet him in person.A group of people waited outside the city, and when Wang Lei brought them back, Liu Biao's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

When Wang Lei went to Qu'e, there were only a few hundred people under his command.Today, there are as many as a thousand people around Wang Lei.This team has an astonishing momentum, with fierce eyes, they are not ordinary soldiers at first glance.

Liu Biao couldn't help admiring the soldiers recruited by Wang Lei, Wang Lei was really good enough.

After a trip, so many people were recruited.

Fortunately, Wang Lei's foundation is in Jizhou, and Liu Biao is not an enemy.

Wang Lei's army stationed outside the city, and Wang Lei, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Gan Ning and others followed Liu Biao and rushed into the city.This time, Liu Biao hosted a banquet in person to welcome Wang Lei, and the banquet lasted until the evening.

Back at the post station, Wang Lei got ready to sleep after washing up.

"Boom! Boom!!"

A knock on the door came from outside the room.

Dian Wei's voice sounded: "My lord, Duke Pang De is here to visit!"

"Please!"

Wang Lei didn't dare to be negligent, but he was puzzled, why did Mr. Pang De come here at this time?Not long after, Lord Pound came into the room.Wang Lei waved his hand to signal Pang Degong to sit down, and asked, "Pang Gong is looking for me late at night, what's the matter?"

Pang Degong said: "Nephew, this old man is here to ask for help."

Wang Lei asked, "What's going on?"

Pang Degong is a celebrity in Jingzhou, and his status in Jingzhou is very special.Even, the Pang family is also a big family in Jingzhou, even if it is not as good as the Cai family and the Kuai family, it is still a wealthy family.With Pang Degong's status, even Liu Biao, as the governor of Jingzhou, had to give three points of face. Pang Degong put on a nervous expression, which made Wang Lei feel very puzzled.

Pang Degong said: "Nephew, the old man's son and nephew have been arrested."

"Who dares to arrest Pang Gong's child?" Wang Lei said.

Duke Pang De sighed softly, and said, "Speaking of which, does this matter have something to do with your nephew?"

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Wang Lei sat up straight and asked, "Mr. Pang, explain carefully, what's going on? I have been in Jiangdong, not Xiangyang. Even if I stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, it was only a few days. How can I have any relationship with you?" What about the relationship?"

Mr. Pang De said: "The thieves who captured the old man's son and nephew will let the nephew go by name."

"What? There's this thing." Wang Lei frowned, not expecting someone to target him specifically.After a pause, Wang Lei asked again: "Who arrested Pang Gong's relatives?"

Pang Degong waved his hand, shook his head and said: "I don't know who it is. The other party only revealed a little information, and asked my nephew to go to Xianshan Mountain next to Lumen Mountain. From my guess, they may be hiding in Xianshan Mountain."

Wang Lei thought carefully and pondered the purpose of the thief.

It is impossible for ordinary thieves to arrest Pang Degong's relatives specifically for Wang Lei.

Not looking for money, but looking for Wang Lei.There is no doubt that this is the intention of Wang Lei's enemies.Wang Lei changed his mind, and immediately thought of Yuan Shu and Liu Bei.Of these two people, Liu Bei is the most suspected, after all Jian Yong died at the hands of Wang Lei.
