The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Surrendering is a skill.

It's not that he can just ride a horse towards the Iron Gate Pass. If he did that, he would most likely be surrounded before even leaving the city gate, and then Pei Wugou would personally come to capture him.

"so……"

"We need to use some methods!"

Lu Chaosheng knew what was going on, so he quickly tidied himself up and made a move to test the waters.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw two soldiers guarding the entrance. Clearly, after his recent falling out with Pei Wugou, Pei Wugou had become wary of him.

They probably wouldn't expect him to side with Ren Tianye, but they would still keep an eye on him in order to keep an eye on him.

Lu Chaosheng immediately pretended to be nonchalant and went out for a stroll. With his experience, he easily found a breakthrough in the defense.

By the time I returned home in the evening, I had already made up my mind.

But seeing that among those guarding and protecting him were his former subordinates, he couldn't bear to implicate them, so he waved and called them over.

"Remember, pretend you have a stomachache and ask to see a doctor, understand?"

The soldier didn't know what he meant, but he trusted Lu Chaosheng quite a bit and nodded in agreement.

Just before leaving, Lu Chaosheng asked one more question.

"How is the army doing now?"

The soldier immediately shook his head and said, "General Lu, this is very bad. Everyone hates Chen Song, especially that handyman named Xiao He. They wish they could kill him as soon as possible."

"But Pei Wugou strengthened the guard in the army."

"Several patrol teams have been added."

"Moreover... he was always fully armed, with a knife at all times, looking like he was ready to fight Ren Tianye at any moment."

Lu Chaosheng nodded.

He thought to himself that Pei Wugou was quite capable, knowing when to suppress others and thus controlling the situation to the greatest extent possible.

But they were not friendly to him.

He was even thinking of bringing General Zhang Shi into Zhenjiang City after he pledged allegiance to him.

Given this situation, coupled with Pei Wugou's defensive tactics, it's quite an achievement.

"It seems we have no choice but to seek refuge with General Zhang Shi for now."

With this in mind, he told the soldier to leave quickly, and then went home to rest and recuperate. Late at night, he climbed over the courtyard wall and walked quickly along the familiar road.

The city gates had long been closed, but this did not deter him, the former de facto commander of Zhenjiang City. He quickly climbed out along a low section of the city wall using a rope he had brought with him.

I left Zhenjiang.

Traveling under the cover of night.

When passing through the village, he deliberately stopped and bought a fine horse from the villagers before galloping away at top speed towards the Iron Gate Pass.

Like a shooting star, Lu Chaosheng rushed forward until the Iron Gate Pass suddenly appeared before him. He continued at full speed until he reached the pass, at which point he abruptly pulled on the reins and brought the horse to a stop.

At the iron gate, a squad of soldiers had already formed ranks, swords drawn and arrows nocked, watching him with wary expressions.

"Hey, who goes there?"

Lu Chaosheng dismounted, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said respectfully, "I am Lu Chaosheng, the former garrison commander of Zhenjiang City, and I have come here to serve the Duke."

"Please inform us."

As he spoke, Lu Chaosheng took out the seal he carried with him and politely handed it to the guard at the door.

The guards at the gate were no strangers to people who came to surrender, having seen many such cases before, but they were still pleasantly surprised to see Lu Chaosheng, the garrison commander of Zhenjiang City, arrive.

After General Wang Ming entered the Iron Gate Pass, he kept talking about taking over the Jiangbei fortress complex, and he mentioned Lu Chaosheng quite often.

This is the most important figure in the Jiangbei Fortress Complex!

Lu Chaosheng has surrendered. How far away are the Jiangbei fortress complexes?

The guard at the gate checked the seal, his face beaming with joy. He cupped his hands and said, "So it's General Lu. Please wait a moment while I go and inform General Wang Ming."

"I believe he will be very happy to hear this news."

Lu Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reached out to stop him: "Wait."

"Brother, are you going to inform General Wang Ming?"

"Yes!" said the guard at the gate. "General Wang Ming has stationed his troops inside the Iron Gate Pass. Since you, General Lu, have come to serve at the Iron Gate Pass, you should naturally inform General Wang Ming."

"Then..." Lu Chaosheng quickly asked, "Where is General Zhang Shi?"

"Oh? General Zhang Shi, he's over there..." The guard at the gate pointed and said, "In this direction, about three miles away, General Zhang Shi is stationed with his troops."

Lu Chaosheng broke out in a cold sweat.

That was close! I almost turned to the wrong side.

He came to pledge allegiance to General Zhang Shi because he had received a letter from General Zhang Shi. If he had mistakenly pledged allegiance to General Wang Ming, that would have been quite awkward.

He immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother, I'm sorry. I received a letter from General Zhang Shi. His words in the letter were very sincere and moved me, which is why I came to serve General Zhang Shi. I didn't expect to make such a blunder."

"Please convey my apologies to General Wang Ming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chaosheng immediately mounted his horse, turned around and ran away as fast as he could, leaving the place that had embarrassed him and heading straight for Zhang Shijun's camp.

Three miles is a fast distance on horseback.

This time, Lu Chaosheng finally found the right place. He arrived at the village entrance, presented the official seal, and asked someone to announce his arrival.

"I am Lu Chaosheng, the garrison commander of Zhenjiang City. I have received a letter from General Zhang Shi and have come to pledge my allegiance."

The messenger dared not delay and quickly ran into the tent.

Although he saw Zhang Shi washing his feet, he quickly said, "General, there's a man at the gate who claims to be Lu Chaosheng, the garrison commander of Zhenjiang City. He says he's come to surrender and even presented his official seal. I've checked it and confirmed it's genuine!"

"What?"

Zhang Shi jumped up.

Because of the large movement, he accidentally overturned the foot bath basin, but he didn't care at all: "You mean, Lu Chaosheng has come to seek refuge?"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Lu Chaosheng has come to surrender..." Zhang Shi was extremely excited and couldn't help but shout, "Lu Chaosheng has come to surrender, the Jiangbei Fortress Complex is mine now."

"Wang Ming, what do I owe you?"

He immediately ran outside to personally greet Lu Chaosheng.

When the guards saw that Zhang Shi wasn't wearing shoes, they picked him up and followed him, calling out, "General, General, put on your shoes, put on your shoes..."

Zhang Shi ignored him and ran straight to Lu Chaosheng. By the light of the fire, he looked at Lu Chaosheng and compared his portrait with the one he had seen before, and was completely certain.

He burst into laughter: "Hahaha, General Lu, you've finally arrived!"

"With your help, our great undertaking is assured!"

"Great things can be accomplished!"

Lu Chaosheng, however, was somewhat apprehensive, especially upon seeing Zhang Shi's bare feet. He quickly stopped him, kneeling on one knee: "General Zhang Shi, I am truly overwhelmed by your hospitality!"

Zhang Shi immediately helped him up: "How could I not be overjoyed to see you?"

"Come on, come inside and let's talk!"

"Come into the tent and speak!"
