The recruitment work went very smoothly. Li Xiuning and Li Shentong suddenly expanded the team to more than 30,000 people. Although the composition of the team is complex, many of the guys who come to seek refuge are robbers who have committed highway robberies, and there are also many petty thieves. But after all, the shelf was still put up.
The imperial court still has a standard for recruiting troops. At first, the government soldiers were recruited. Later, when almost all the government soldiers were recruited, people with strong martial arts skills and strong bodies were recruited. And Li Xiuning's standard for recruiting soldiers is that there is no standard. This form of conscription snowballed. Li Shentong and Li Xiuning are always worried about not having enough people, and don't worry about too many people at all. As long as you are in good health or have obvious disabilities, you can successfully join.
The only problem caused by the rapid expansion of the team is that Hu County's treasury can no longer bear so many people. If more than 10,000 people can eat the food in the treasury, they can still eat it until spring. But now there are more than 30,000 people, and people who come to eat are still coming from all directions.
The issue of eating is a big issue, so Li Xiuning and Yunhao and Li Shentong discussed it. Now we not only need to expand our enrollment, we also need to expand our territory. Li Shentong was worthy of being a famous general, and he soon led this group of guys who were all ill-equipped with weapons. After successively winning, Hu County, Zhou Zhi, and martial arts became equal. The area of ??the base area expanded several times in a short period of time. Suddenly, Mr. Li San's reputation was unparalleled. Become the most dazzling rebel leader in Guanzhong, no one.
The revolutionary situation is excellent, and the team is showing a thriving trend. With territory, there will naturally be money and food. Since the base was established, more brothers who came to make a living have joined the team.
"Yesterday we just sent Xiang Shanzhi to capture Wu Gong, and the treasury captured a lot. Even if the lord does not enter Guanzhong, we will have no problem holding on until next summer. Maybe we can defeat Guanzhong before they enter Guanzhong. ." The successive victories made Li Shentong very happy.
The capture of these counties is not so much capture as capture. Those county lieutenants and magistrates were very knowledgeable about current affairs. As soon as the army set up a formation outside the city, people would immediately come to work with sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. As for the county seat, that¡¯s it for you. The worst I can do is not be an official anymore. For the sake of cooperation, I just want to save my life.
Of course, some brothers who actively demand progress still want to stay and become officials. In their view, as long as they can continue to be wealthy, there is no difference between being an official of the Yang family and being an official of the Li family.
"Things are not going too smoothly, I always feel that Qu Tutong should not be so easy to bully." Faced with a promising revolutionary situation, Yunhao was very confused. Qu Tutong was also considered a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. Just cowering in Chang'an City like this, something seems wrong. But Li Shentong's victory was real, and Yunhao really couldn't understand what Qu Tutong was playing.
Of course Qu Tutong will not be idle, he is busy with a big thing.
Sang Xian sat in the carriage, swaying and dozing off. As a cavalry general, he hated this slow carriage. What he prefers is a war horse that gallops freely. If he were allowed to ride a war horse, he might have finished his work and have a drink.
"General, Hu Zhuang has arrived." The pro-soldier driving the car was wearing plain clothes. He didn't know what he put on his face, and it turned dark and dark. He looked no different from an old farmer who has been farming all year round.
Sang Xian opened the curtain and saw a large village opposite. In front of the village, there were actually more than a dozen Hu people standing guard with spears.
"General Sang, we are members of the same sex. I would like to advise you on some things. The friendship with this big beard is not as good as the friendship you had with those noble people in Chang'an City. You are a person who is used to what you said in the previous sentence. What are you saying that is offensive? , please be more patient. Otherwise, this business will not be negotiated." There was a fat middle-aged man sitting in the car, this guy also had a surname of Sang. The shopkeeper of Chang'an City's Hengfeng Hao has business dealings with Pan Renduo on weekdays.
This time he was going to Huzhuang for business, so Sang Xian specially invited this person to help him. After all, he is a soldier and prefers to speak with a knife rather than coins.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you complete this matter. I will report your merits to the general. The military supplies of our army will be transferred to your house from now on."
"Well, thank you in advance, General Sang!" Shopkeeper Sang laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyesight. He prepared the military resources for the army himself. It was like money falling from the sky. Hengfeng will definitely have a good year this year.
"Who is it? Stop!" Seeing Sang Xian's carriage driving straight towards Zhuangzi, a villager immediately stepped forward to stop it. He looks like he has a beard, but he speaks Guanzhong dialect very authentically.
"I am Shopkeeper Sang from Chang'an City. Please hurry up and ask your boss to come out and talk. A big deal is coming." The soldier sitting on the carriage shouted loudly, and conveniently gave the bearded man a piece of cake.There is no need to fight for life or death if the troops do not move. He was also able to get the right to operate stalls in the east and west cities. As for the buying and selling stalls, Pan Ren never cared about it. As long as money can solve things, they are small things.
"Yes, General Qu only needs a promise from Shopkeeper Pan, as long as you promise not to help each other. Tomorrow you can send people into the city to buy and sell stalls in the east and west markets. The premise is that you are not allowed to buy or sell by force."
"Hahaha, that's natural. Financial matters are not a problem for us Huzhuang people. Shopkeeper Sang is a happy man, so he came to drink with us. This is grape wine from the Western Regions. Let's try it." Pan Ren smiled. With a wave of his hand, the charming Orchid immediately offered him blood-like grape wine.
"Okay, have fun. To celebrate our smooth talk, shopkeeper Pan, have a drink!"
Sang Xian didn¡¯t expect things to go so smoothly. He returned to Chang¡¯an City the next day. Then I saw a man with a beard entering the city, and then the land prices in the east and west cities started to rise.
When Li Jing, who came back from Xiliu Camp, heard about it, he laughed and said, "These beards are really impatient."
"Hmph! They opened their shops today, and I can close those shops tomorrow when things are done. If they dare to go against our Sui Dynasty, there are still thousands of lives on hand. Do these beards think this is the end? Damn it. Accept money but not fate." Qu Tutong said harshly. He was extremely saddened by the death of those elite warriors, who were the main force in the defense of Chang'an City. But he was attacked and killed outside Chang'an City!
"Of course it is the general who has the final say on where the shop is and whether it should be opened or closed. However, everything can only be decided after the Third Young Master Li is eliminated. Now the situation is forced, so I ask the general to be patient." Li Jing quickly advised Qu. Suddenly, if this old guy explodes with energy and kills all the beards who come into the city, he will be in big trouble.
"I still know which one is more important. Now that I have done what I promised, it's your turn. There are still ten days left, and you also know that Li Yuan is actively preparing to go south. If you can't stop it in Huoyi He, then next time we can only defend Chang'an.
I also know that you have just taken over Xiliu Camp and need time to clean it up. But no, I don¡¯t have much time either. And in the past few days, Mr. Li San has successively conquered Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping four counties. The population of the land under control has doubled, and it is said that tens of thousands of troops have been recruited. Give them some more time and it will be even more difficult to deal with them. "
"Don't worry, General. It's hard for us to attack them when they are hiding in Hu County. Now that they have come out, it is our opportunity. To occupy four counties, that means they have to divide their troops. Even if there are tens of thousands of troops, we can go one county at a time. After the battle, the number of people was roughly the same.
¡°Besides, the army was gathered in a hurry. When can we be compared with the great Sui lions who are like tigers and wolves? The general doesn't need to be busy, as long as his beard doesn't move. Tomorrow I will send troops to deal with the martial arts rebels. "Li Jing stood up and said with great confidence.
He has taken control of Xiliu Camp in the past few days. In fact, the soldiers in Xiliu Camp are quite capable. Basically there are no old, weak or disabled soldiers! Moreover, the military equipment and armor were also in good order, so although Liu Gang was deceived by the trick of suspecting soldiers. But obviously, he is also a qualified general on weekdays. Using such an army to fight the rebels who lacked armor and weapons, Li Jing saw no reason to lose.
"Since General Li is so confident, I wish you immediate success in quelling the enemy." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
