The recruitment work went very smoothly, and Li Xiuning and Li Shentong expanded the ranks to more than 30,000 people at once. Although the composition of the team is complex, many of the guys who come to the club are robbers who block the road and rob, and there are not a few petty thieves.www.biquge.info But after all, the shelves were still put up.

The imperial court recruits soldiers, and there is still a standard. At first, it was to recruit government soldiers, and later the government soldiers were almost conscripted, so they recruited people with strong martial arts and strong figures. And Li Xiuning's standard for conscription, that is, there is no standard. This form of conscription, developed in a snowballing form. Li Shentong and Li Xiuning are always worried that there are not enough people, and they don't worry about too many people at all. As long as you come to join and are in good health and have five obvious disabilities, you can successfully join.

The only problem brought about by the rapid expansion of the ranks was that the treasury of Juxian County could no longer withstand so many people. If more than 10,000 people eat the grain in the treasury, they can eat it until the beginning of spring. But now there are more than 30,000 people, and the benevolent brothers who come to eat are still coming from all directions.

The problem of eating is a big problem, and Li Xiuning discussed it with Yunhao and Li Shentong. Now we have to expand not only recruitment, but also territory. Li Shentong is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and soon took this group of guys with untidy weapons. Won one after another, Huxian, Zhouzhi, martial arts, and Shi Ping. The area of the base area has expanded several times in a short period of time. Suddenly, Li Sangongzi's name was unrivaled for a while. Become the most dazzling rebel leader in Guanzhong, there is no one.

The revolutionary situation is very good, and the ranks are showing a thriving trend. With land, there is naturally money and food. Since the establishment of the base, more brothers who have come to eat have joined the team.

"Yesterday, I just sent Xiang Shanzhi to capture Wugong, and the treasury was seized a lot. Even if the lord doesn't enter Guanzhong, we will have no problem holding out until next summer. Perhaps, before they enter Guanzhong, we will knock Guanzhong down. The successive victories made Li Shentong very happy.

The capture of these counties is not so much a capture as a reception. Those county lieutenants and county commanders were very knowledgeable about current affairs, and as long as the army was in formation outside the city, someone would immediately lead the sheep and pull the chickens, ducks and geese to work the army. As for the county seat, it's up to you. It's a big deal that Lao Tzu is not an official, for the sake of more cooperation, he only wants to save a life.

Of course, some brothers who actively demanded progress still wanted to stay and become officials. In their opinion, as long as they can continue to be rich and noble, there is no difference between being an official of the Yang family and being an official of the Li family.

"Is it too smooth, I always feel that Qu Tutong should not be so easy to bully." Faced with a great revolutionary situation, Yun Hao was very puzzled. Qu Tutong is also a famous general of the Great Sui, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. Just cowering in Chang'an City, how to look at how wrong. But Li Shentong's victory is real, and Yun Hao really doesn't understand what tricks Qu Tutong is playing.

Of course, Qu Tutong will naturally 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 kind of slow carriage. He prefers a war horse that gallops at will, and if he is allowed to ride a war horse, he may have a good drink after finishing his business.

"General, Hu Zhuang has arrived." The pro-soldiers who drove the car were dressed in plain clothes, and they didn't know what they had wiped on their faces, and they became swarthy, looking no different from the old farmers who had been farming all year round.

Sang Xian lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw a large piece of Zhuangzi on the opposite side. In front of the village, there were more than a dozen Hu people standing guard with spears.

"General Sang, we are a same-sex family. There are some things I advise you, this beard is no better than you are in Chang'an City with those nobles. You are a person who is used to saying the last sentence, and if there is any offense, you should bear more. Otherwise, this business will not be negotiated. "There was a chubby middle-aged man sitting in the car, and this guy was also surnamed San. The shopkeeper of the Hengfeng in Chang'an City has a lot of business dealings with Pan Ren on weekdays.

This time he wanted to come to Huzhuang to do business, and Sang Xian specially invited this family to help. After all, he is in the army and prefers to talk with a knife rather than copper coins.

"You can save it, as long as you can do it. General, I'll give you credit. The quartermaster of our army will be posted in your house from now on. ”

"So, thank you General Sang first!" The shopkeeper Sang smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and the military funds of the army were prepared by himself, which was simply silver falling from the sky. This year, Hengfeng will definitely be able to have a fat year.

"Who? Stop it! Seeing Sang Xian's carriage driving straight towards Zhuangzi, Zhuang Ding immediately stepped forward to stop him. It looks like a beard, but the Guanzhong dialect is very authentic.

"I'm the shopkeeper of Sang in Chang'an City, hurry up and ask your owner to come out and talk, the big deal is coming." The soldier sitting on the wheel shouted loudly, and gave the beard a bag of copper coins.

This bag of copper coins, to say the least, has one or two hundred dollars. The beard on duty immediately lit up his eyes, and today he really saw the bold lord. Without saying a word, he tucked the money bag into his arms, and the person rushed into the Zhuangzi.

"Shopkeeper San?" Pan Ren thought about it carefully, there are a few good shopkeepers in Chang'an City, all surnamed Sang. But I don't know which one is the shopkeeper. On weekdays, there are often business contacts, but at these times, Li Sangongzi rebelled, and the trade route was also cut off. Serious business, I haven't done it in many days.

It's not good to snub the old customer, Pan Ren came to the outside of Zhuangzi in person. Sure enough, I saw the chubby Sang shopkeeper get out of the car. Acquaintance, the Sang shopkeeper of Hengfeng. It's just that this guy does the most on weekdays, and he doesn't seem to have much business with him.

Glancing at him, Pan Ren felt a tremor in his heart. Next to him stood a tall middle-aged man, not very strong, but standing like a javelin. Just standing, there is an awe-inspiring murderous aura all over his body. This guy killed less than a hundred, and Pan Ren felt that his eyes could be cut off as bubbles.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Sang in person, and he was disappointed. This is ......! Pan Ren bowed his hand to the shopkeeper from afar, but his feet took a step back without leaving a trace. Since being fooled by Yun Hao, he killed thousands of Sui troops. Pan Ren became more and more vigilant, he knew that the Sui people had suffered such a big loss, and they would definitely not give up with him. hated that Yun Hao, he actually played himself. If he hadn't been afraid that Li Yuan's rebellion would have succeeded, he would have led someone to dismantle Yun Hao a long time ago.

I wanted to secretly send someone to hack this kid, but I didn't expect Yunhao to stay in the county office these days. The door does not go out of the second door, like everyone is very beautiful. If you want to start, you can't do it. This made Pan Ren hate his teeth but there was nothing he could do.

"This master is also surnamed Sang, and he is my family. Come today, I want to talk to Shopkeeper Pan about a business. What's the matter, it's time for the shopkeeper to behave? Shall we talk here? The shopkeeper said to Pan Ren with a smile.

"Where, where, how can you let your guests blow the wind outside. Please come in, the grapes in the Zhuangzi are still good, and the two mulberry shopkeepers can taste it. Pan Ren made a please, and retreated to the middle of the strong men.

Sang Xian smiled, this Pan Ren is really careful. If you really come to assassinate today, you really don't have the slightest chance.

Entering Huzhuang, Sang Xian peeked around to observe. Sure enough, I saw a lot of war horses in Hu Zhuang, and occasionally saw one or two Hu knights, all of whom looked very strong and capable. No wonder the elite Xiaoguo suffered such a big loss, in addition to being mentally calculated and unintentional. The combat power of these Hu people is indeed good.

Entering the hall where Yun Hao was received, after the guests and hosts were seated. Pan Ren asked with a smile: "I don't know what business Shopkeeper Sang wants to do this time?" The situation has been chaotic lately, and this business is not easy to do! Pan Ren was very wary of the friend of the Sang shopkeeper, and asked the Sang shopkeeper with a smile before the grapes were made.

"Shopkeeper Pan, I heard that you recently took refuge in Li Sangongzi. Gathered your people and attacked the Chang'an garrison, didn't you? The shopkeeper saw Pan Ren ask straightforwardly, and he didn't beat around the bush at the moment.

"What? Are you here to seek justice? Pan Ren's face sank, and his hand under the table was already clawed on the handle of the knife. As soon as the opponent makes the slightest movement, he will draw his knife and split the opponent in half.

"I don't mean that, this time I'm here to talk to you on behalf of the imperial court. As long as the shopkeeper Pan abandons the darkness and turns to the light, General Qu will not blame the past. And...... And you are allowed to have stalls in the East and West Cities. Of course, there is only one condition. That is to help the imperial court and eliminate the third prince of Li who is entrenched in Ju County. Seeing that both sides were straight to the point, the shopkeeper simply shook out.

"Have stalls in the East and West Cities?" Pan Ren's eyes narrowed. Because the Hu people can't have stalls in the east and west cities, there is this Hu Zhuang. The Hu people also had to endure the exploitation of the big families in Chang'an City. Only Pan Ren knew how attractive this article was to the Hu people.

"That's right, this is what General Qu said himself. Of course, you still need to buy these stalls from those merchants yourself. The shopkeeper saw that Pan Ren's face changed and changed, and it was obvious that he had already moved his heart to this condition.

Sang Xian's throat moved, but he still couldn't help but speak. Qu Tutong told him that everything today must be done by Shopkeeper Sang. And he Sangxian only has ears and no mouth.

"How do you want us to help you?" Lessons from the past, Pan Ren felt that it was better to ask first. These Han people, if nothing else, are good at deceiving people. Yun Hao's psychological shadow on him is too great, and now when Pan Ren sees the Han people, he thinks that the other party is a film.

"It's very simple, just don't help each other."

"Is it really okay to help each other?" This time, Pan Ren was really tempted, and he didn't have to fight to the death. can also get the right to operate stalls in the east and west cities, as for the matter of buying and redeeming stalls, Pan Ren has never taken it to heart. 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 stalls in the east and west cities. The premise is that you are not allowed to force buy and sell. ”

"Hahaha, that's nature. In terms of money, it is not difficult for us Huzhuang people. The shopkeeper is a happy person, come and drink with us. This is a grape wine from the Western Regions, two of you taste it. Pan Ren smiled and waved his hand, and immediately a bewitching orchid offered blood-like grapes.

"Okay, happy. In order to celebrate the smooth negotiation of our talks, Pan shopkeeper, drink sheng! ”

Sang Xian didn't expect things to go so smoothly and returned to Chang'an City the next day. I saw a bearded man entering the city, and then the land price in the east and west cities went up.

When Li Jing, who came back from the Xiliu Camp, heard about it, he laughed and said, "These beards are really anxious. ”

"Humph! Today they opened the shops, and tomorrow the old man will be able to close the shops. Dare to go against our Great Sui, there are still thousands of lives in his hands. Do these mustaches think that's all they have to say? It's really fucking to admit money and not fate. Qu Tutong said fiercely. He was extremely saddened by the death of those elite Xiaoguo, who were the main force defending Chang'an City. But he was attacked and killed outside Chang'an City!

"The shop is placed there, whether it is open or closed, of course, the general has the final say. However, everything can only be decided after Li Sangongzi is eliminated. Now the situation is also a last resort, and I ask the general to be patient. Li Jing hurriedly persuaded Qu Tutong, in case this old guy's spirit broke out and slaughtered all the beards that entered the city, it would be a big trouble.

"Which is more important, Ben Shuai still knows. Now that I've done what I promised, it's up to you. There are still ten days left, and you also know that Li Yuan is actively preparing to go south. If we can't block him in Huoyi, then next time we can only defend Chang'an.

I also know that you have just taken over the Hosoliu Camp and need time to clean up. But no, the old man doesn't have a lot of time. And in the past few days, Li Sangongzi has successively conquered the four county towns of Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping. The population of the land under its control has increased several times, 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. ”

"Don't worry, general, it's not easy for us to start if they are nested in Ju County. Now that they're out, it's our chance. Occupy four county towns, which means that they have to divide their forces. Even if there are tens of thousands of horses, we will fight county by county, and the number of people will be roughly the same.

And besides, the hastily assembled army. When will it be able to be compared with the Great Sui Lion like a tiger wolf? The general doesn't have to be busy, as long as his beard doesn't move. Tomorrow I will send troops to deal with the rebels of Wugong. Li Jing stood up and said with great confidence.

In the past few days, he has taken control of the fine willow camp, in fact, the soldiers in the fine willow camp are quite capable. Basically, there are no old and weak soldiers! And the armament and armor are also neat, although Liu Gang was deceived by the tactics of the suspicious soldiers. But obviously, he is also a qualified general on weekdays. Using such an army to fight the rebels with uneven armor and blades, Li Jing felt that there was no reason to lose.

"Since General Li is so confident, the old man wishes you success in defeating the enemy."
