"Xue Family?" Liu Zhizhong nodded with a aningful smile and said, "Commander Xue Manzi said he'd bring in the main forces to strengthen your defenses, and by the way, wipe out my troops heading north for exercises. Then he'd rge with your forces and push south to take the Goa Region. After that, he'd supposedly give you all the territory without taking any for himself?"
"Ah... this..." Long Bo was stunned, "How... how do you know so much about this?"
Liu Zhizhong glanced at Liu Dongyuan, then at Mao Wang on the side, and laughed.
Liu Dongyuan said coldly, "Of course, we know Xue Manzi's plan, because he explained it to us very clearly. To you, he's spinning this story; anwhile, his real intention is to have the Goa People's Army march north, rge with his forces, and take you out, giving the territory to the Goa People's Army without keeping anything for himself. So, do you think that's possible?"
"What? This... damn it! That two-faced bastard, he's playing everyone! With what you've said, who should I really trust?"
Long Bo was getting agitated, his insides burning with anger.
Liu Dongyuan said, "Of course, you should listen to us, or you'll die a terrible death. You and I are both soldiers, you should understand the current battlefield situation is extrely unfavorable for you. The Xue Family Army has already entered Wabei territory, turned their guns, and directly targeted you; the Goa People's Army is already at the border, ready to attack at any mont. Because we've already agreed to their terms to join forces and eliminate you."
"You guys... this... this is really..." Long Bo was so furious he almost rolled his eyes, wanting to shout but the Weng Xingban gun was already pressed against his head.
As a result, Long Bo had to remain obedient, not daring to move or shout.
Liu Zhizhong said, "If it weren't for holding them back, Chief of Staff Ruan and Deputy Chief Jiang Ziyang would have certainly attacked and killed you to avenge the forr commander. Understand? Our presence here, eting with you, Commander Long, indicates this can all be negotiated. Perhaps, all bloodshed can be avoided."
"You..."
Long Bo looked at Liu Zhizhong, truly unable to see through him.
This young man was simply remarkable.
To penetrate this deeply requires a lot of courage and wisdom.
And Long Bo, being one of those involved in massacres, understood his fate.
But Liu Zhizhong's words did indeed strike a chord with him.
Subconsciously, Long Bo said, "Chi Zhongshui, how do you want to negotiate?"
Liu Zhizhong remained calm, saying, "Let's go, return to your headquarters for discussions. Of course, I ask you to stay calm and not get too agitated. If you do, Comrade Xingban's gun might go off accidentally. Life is precious, you only have this one chance to survive, so consider it carefully. If you want mutual destruction, that's possible too, but you'll lose everything, including the temporary fa and fortune you have now."
Long Bo wasn't exactly a brute, just a bit hot-tempered. But faced with this scenario, he didn't want to die either!
So, Long Bo took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's go back to my headquarters, and talk at my command post. But, I need to inform my sister, please wait a mont."
Liu Zhizhong said, "Fine, I'll have Comrade Mao Wang accompany you, hehe... He is a People's Party comrade, ard. If you use the pretext of saying goodbye to your sister to pull any tricks, he'll shoot you dead."
Long Bo nodded, glanced at Mao Wang standing outside the pavilion, and smiled bitterly, "Chi Zhongshui, you do have a way. Sigh... Losing to you, maybe I won't feel too unjustified..."
With that, he shook his head and strode out of the pavilion towards the other side.
Mao Wang imdiately followed closely.
Weng Xingban wanted to pursue but was stopped by Liu Zhizhong.
Weng Xingban, a bit displeased, whispered, "What if..."
Liu Zhizhong said, "There won't be an 'if.' From my interactions, I can tell this is a smart person. Now, even if he shouted for his patrol and guards to co, we might not survive, but I'm confident we can take him down before we die."
These words were intriguing, and Weng Xingban said nothing more.
So, the three of them also left the pavilion and waited not far from the restaurant. Because there, was Long Bo's private car.
And Long Bo's guards were still standing at the restaurant entrance! He went ho to have dinner with his sister and didn't bring many guards, just those two, haha...
In no ti, Long Bo followed by Mao Wang ca out of the restaurant.
It seed Long Bo's mood was still relatively good, well-adjusted. Of course, when faced with a choice between life and death, anyone would adjust their mood for life.
Soon after, Long Bo got into his private car, but was flanked by Weng Xingban and Liu Dongyuan on either side, just in case.
One guard drove the private car; another drove the commander's command car, with just Liu Zhizhong inside.
The two vehicles quickly left the Sa Family Manor, heading to the Wabei Army's headquarters.
The distance wasn't far, just about ten kiloters, and the road conditions were good, so they would arrive quickly. After all, this was Commander Sa's hocoming route, so of course, it had to be well-maintained.
Upon reaching headquarters and entering the command post, it was smooth sailing.
When Long Bo entered the headquarters command post with Liu Zhizhong and the others, all personal guards and other generals were not allowed into the command briefing room, only the four of them sat inside.
Long Bo was very dejected because he wanted to live and didn't want mutual destruction. Otherwise, Liu Zhizhong and the others would have been very vulnerable back at the Sa Family Manor.
At this mont, Long Bo looked at Liu Zhizhong and nodded, "Tonight, I can only admit defeat, let's see how you plan to negotiate."
Liu Dongyuan and Weng Xingban stayed silent, with Weng Xingban keeping his gun pointed discreetly at Long Bo. The two looked to Liu Zhizhong, as Chairman Chi was the one in charge.
Liu Zhizhong, naturally unambiguous, straightforwardly said, "Declare allegiance to the Goa People's Army, Commander Long, this is your only way out..."
"What?" Long Bo's face changed dramatically, slamming his fist onto the command table, "You have such audacity, don't you fear I'll call soone in and we'll all die together?"
Weng Xingban pointed his gun at his head, "Go ahead, call them. Call and you'll be the first to die! Then, our Himas and drones will imdiately flatten this command post!"
Long Bo instantly lost his steam, indeed underestimating the strength of the Goa People's Army.
"Then... what happens after I pledge allegiance?" Long Bo could only look at Liu Zhizhong, his gaze softening significantly.
