(Today's chapter is presented, ask for wave collection and subscription, thank you for your support!) ）

In this month's time, the White Dragon Army attacked Zhuangbazhai in the north and south, and laid down dozens of landlords' forts, in addition to obtaining a lot of gold, silver, money and grain.

also seized a lot of valuable jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other items from these large households, and these things were not of great use to the White Dragon Army.

But they still confiscated all of them and lost them to the Xie family in Xuzhou, so that the Xie family could take them to other places for processing, exchange them for the things needed by the White Dragon Army, and hand them over to the White Dragon Army.

The White Dragon Army's gains during this period of time can be described as extremely rich, and the grain stored in the White Dragon Army's cottage alone has already filled their warehouse.

The real money in Li Zixiao's hand reached an astonishing nearly one million taels, and when Old Master Wei told Li Zixiao this amount, he himself was taken aback.

However, when he thought that these pieces of silver were Wei Hong and Liu Chong, who swept away dozens of landlords and old fortunes in Xiayi and half of Suzhou counties respectively, the silver seized was also very normal.

This sweeping operation allowed Li Zixiao to obtain a huge amount of wealth and complete the last primitive accumulation in his mind, and this silver will be his main source of support for the White Dragon Army in the future.

With the end of this month's sweeping operation, Li Zixiao ordered each pair of men and horses to rest for a few days first, and at the same time replenish their consumption.

After all, fighting a war consumes a lot of money in the army, and in addition to the loss of personnel, many weapons are also very badly damaged, and it is necessary to replace them with a batch of new weapons.

After more than a month of non-stop fighting, although the morale of the White Dragon Army was very high, it was difficult to hide their exhaustion.

If they are not allowed to rest well in a short period of time, then in the following days, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will also be greatly reduced.

As long as you are human, you have the need to rest, otherwise you will be in a high state of tension for a long time.

There is no problem for a short time, but for a long time, people will slack off.

Li Zixiao is very clear about the importance of this, although he still has a lot of things to do, but it is still very necessary to rest and recuperate like this.

After the soldiers and horses rested, Li Zixiao rewarded the meritorious personnel in the army as usual according to the previous battle of Wanglongpo and the subsequent achievements of the White Dragon Army's sweeping operation.

Don't look at the white dragon generals who have no salary to speak of, but as long as there is a battle, Li Zixiao will not hesitate to reward.

This time, the White Dragon Army, which made a fortune, not only took out a large sum of silver as a pension for the soldiers who died in battle and was disabled, but also took out a lot of silver as a reward.

Moreover, in this battle, every team of officers and soldiers under the White Dragon Army fought bravely to kill the enemy, and there was no more situation of retreating from the battle and fearing the enemy.

In the face of the elite officers and soldiers who attacked from behind, the soldiers of the Bearing Battalion were not afraid of death and bravely killed the enemy.

Although he paid heavy casualties, he also smashed the conspiracy of the officers and soldiers, for which Li Zixiao did not hesitate to praise the Axis Battalion.

Therefore, through the post-war rewards, almost every soldier and general received a lot of rewards in this war, and it is estimated that they received more silver than those officers and soldiers who received military salaries.

At least Li Zixiao will not let his generals withhold the reward silver he sent, and he will never let the soldiers only get eight taels if he sends ten taels.

Li Zixiao just wanted to use this to convey such a signal to his soldiers that as long as they dared to use their lives in front of the battle, he would never treat them badly.

The white dragon generals who received the reward were naturally highly motivated, and they were waiting for the next time they went into battle again to kill the enemy and get a reward.

Among them, the families of those who were wounded and killed in battle also received generous pensions, so that after these people received the silver rewarded to them, they were all happy, and they wished that they could follow the White Dragon Army to fight again.

…………………………………………………………

The dungeon behind the mountain of the White Snake Village.

This is actually a cave discovered by the White Dragon Army, and there are many large and small caves in it, which are used by the White Dragon Army to hold prisoners.

At this time, Wu Laiyun, Xu Wei, Qi Lin and more than 1,000 of their captured officers and soldiers were all imprisoned here at this time.

With so many prisoners imprisoned here, Li Zaixiao was not at ease, so he sent Liu Zhong to lead a team of more than 100 soldiers to be stationed in the back mountain, and while practicing daily, he also served as the guardian of these officers and soldiers.

"Erdan, how much silver have you been rewarded by the big boss this time, brother, I have been rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Come on, Brother Yang, don't show off to us, everyone knows that my brother killed two officers and soldiers in one battle, and he was rewarded so much.

We can compare with you there, but no one with me and Zhang Wa, Dashi, or they were rewarded with five taels of silver by the big boss, which is already very good. ”

"That's it, Brother Yang has to invite the big guy to eat when he finds time, we are all out of the same castle."

"Okay, no problem, when the next shift is over, my brother will take you to the restaurant in Liuzhen, and good wine and meat will serve you at that time."

At this time, outside a cave where Wu Laiyun, Xu Wei, Qi Lin and other senior generals of the official army were imprisoned, several soldiers of the White Dragon Army stood guard and did not forget to chat with each other to pass the boring time.

"Brother Yang, what are you, you know Xiao Tiedan, that kid was assigned to the Baggage Camp because his body was not up to standard, and he complained for a long time.

But this time, the officers and soldiers who blocked the battlefield were wounded, and they were rewarded with a full fifteen taels of silver by the big boss, and the kid was happy to giggle all day long.

I heard about the little iron egg; The old lady is now in our fort, looking for a daughter-in-law for Xiao Tie Dan everywhere, and many good girls from other families are interested in marrying Xiao Tie Dan. ”

A soldier of the White Dragon Army standing guard with a gun next to him also interjected when he heard the conversation of the people next to him.

"Who says it's not, the big boss has rewarded the guys in the Baggage Camp this time, but I have to admit that the brothers in the Baggage Battalion are all real men.

There were a total of 800 brothers in the Baggage Battalion, and more than 200 people were killed and wounded in the first battle.

At that time, if the elite officers and soldiers were allowed to rush through the barrier of the Axis Battalion, our big boss would be in danger, and if I wanted to say that the reward of fifteen taels of silver to the little iron egg boy was what they deserved. ”

The older White Dragon Army soldier did not have a trace of jealousy, but said with admiration.

These White Dragon Sergeants were all young men from the same fort or surrounding villages, and they all knew each other about the same, and they joined the White Dragon Army when the White Dragon Army recruited soldiers before.

In the cave more than a dozen steps away from them, Wu Laiyun, Qi Lin and Xu Wei, as well as a group of officers and generals, could all hear the conversation of the White Dragon Army soldiers outside at this time.

The more Wu Laiyun and the others listened, the more frightened they became, they were shocked that Li Zixiao's generous move was that he could reward the most basic soldiers under him with more than a dozen taels of silver.

You must know that before the officers and men of their army were about to be promoted, they finally had to get a batch of gold for the opening and reissue a few taels of silver to each soldier.

But compared with this group of bandits, my own group of officers and soldiers are simply called Hanako!

"Hmph, it's just bragging, a bandit leader can be so generous, where did he get so much silver." At this time, some officers and soldiers were unbalanced in their hearts and said disdainfully.

"Hey, maybe these bandits are right, the bandit leader surnamed Li may really be able to come up with so much money, think about how much money they have to loot if they really sweep the territory of the two major counties in this month.

Just a dozen taels of silver per person is nothing, how much oil and water those landlords have, the brothers know in their hearts, we don't kill those guys. ”

An officer next to him sighed and said more pertinently, he still believed what the White Dragon Army soldiers said.

After hearing the officer's words, everyone fell silent.

Yes, these soldiers, have extorted the old wealth of those landlords, and they are very clear about the wealth of these big landlords.

Thinking that the White Dragon Army had swept the whole country, the landlords in the two major counties, how much grain did they have to loot!

"Hey, after this battle, this white dragon bandit has completely become a climate, and the tail is too big to fall, it is estimated that over time, I am afraid it will be a high thief (Gao Chuang Wang) all the way!

We people are ashamed of the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor! Xu Wei couldn't help but sigh and said, this defeat is really too serious a loss for the imperial court.

For a time, the officers in the cave were even more pessimistic.

Through the conversations between these White Dragon Army soldiers, Wu Laiyun and others also got a lot of useful information.

Only then did Wu Laiyun know that it was no wonder that he had been clamoring to see Li Zixiao before, and people ignored him for more than half a month.

Emotional people are cleaning outside, listening to these White Dragon Army conversations, the White Dragon Army seems to have swept most of Suzhou and Xiayi County this time.

At this time, Wu Laiyun couldn't help sighing, with the elite of the official army in his hands defeated by the White Dragon Army, the surrounding states and counties could not draw officers and soldiers at all, and they could deal with this group of White Dragon bandits.

As for Lin Dafu and the people who fled back, it is estimated that they have long been frightened, and it is simply a fool's dream to expect these people to come out to fight against the White Dragon Army.

Wu Laiyun and Xu Wei and Qi Lin next to him glanced at each other, each other's faces were full of bitterness, they didn't know what their fate was on this trip.

At this time, Wu Laiyun and the others continued to hear several White Dragon Soldiers outside continue.

"Hey, Brother Yang, I heard that a few days ago, the big boss convened the captains and them in the council hall to discuss how to deal with this group of officers and military prisoners, it seems that several captains have talked about each other, and they almost didn't fight!"

"Shhhhhhhhh

At this time, several White Dragon Army soldiers outside were still whispering.

And when Wu Laiyun and the others heard that it involved dealing with them this time, they all posted it one by one and listened more carefully.

"Brother Yang, you just came over on duty, you should have been in the cottage a few days ago, what the hell is going on?

It is said that because of this incident, several captains were very unhappy with each other. It's almost a fight, Brother Yang, you should tell the big guys. ”

"Yang Wazi, this kind of thing is not our responsibility, you don't gossip." The elder White Dragon Army soldier looked at the young man in front of him and said admonishingly.

"Hehe, Brother Yang, don't worry, a few of our brothers will listen to it today, and we will never say it." The young man said with a curious expression.

"Yes, yes, never say it." A few people next to him also chimed in.

"Okay, brother, I'll tell you about it, but I know a little bit about it. I heard that this time, the big boss summoned several captains to discuss how to deal with this group of officers and prisoners.

Captain Zhou, Captain of the Guard, and others all advocated that all these officers and soldiers should be taken prisoner to prevent future troubles.

However, the side led by Captain Liu, Captain Luo and Captain Qi hoped to spare the lives of this group of officers and soldiers, let the government pay money to redeem them, or let them go to work in the mine.

The two sides had serious differences over this issue, and in the end they had a very unpleasant quarrel. ”

"Hey, I thought it was something, it's such a simple matter, and you still need to discuss it, just kill this group of dog officers and evil soldiers directly."

Someone said disapprerovingly.

"Cut, otherwise you can only be a small soldier, but someone can be a captain, the problem here is not simple."

Immediately, some people spoke out against it.

"Cut, say it as if you understand, what is not easy for you to say, isn't it just a group of captives, what if you kill it?"

At this time, Wu Laiyun and the others were in the cave, and when they heard the conversation of several White Dragon Soldiers, they all looked frightened and listened more carefully.

"This is what you don't understand, let me tell you about the Tao here, and this has to talk about the origin of several captains of our White Dragon Army.

Now the captains of the seven teams of our White Dragon Army have different backgrounds, like the Zhou team and the guards, all of them are old people who started with big bosses.

Back then, they were chased and killed by the officers and soldiers one by one, and it took great difficulty to establish our stockade, and it can be said that these captains were very hostile to the officers and soldiers.

And like our Liu team, as well as the two captains of the cavalry team Luo and Qi, they were all later returned to the big masters and joined the cottage, and their predecessors were all officers and soldiers.

It's just that they offended those big officials in the official army, and finally had to flee the army in order to survive.

But in the final analysis, our Liu team still has some nostalgia for the imperial court, and hopes that one day, they can return to the official army in a bright and bright way.

It is precisely because of this that Team Liu has been persuading the big bosses to return to the imperial court, while Team Zhou and they are trying their best to oppose it.

Whether or not to kill this group of officers and prisoners this time is the time when the big boss makes up his mind.

Once the big boss orders the killing of this group of officers and soldiers, it means that the big boss is determined to fight the court to the end, and he will not compromise with the court in the future.

And if the big boss listened to the words of our Liu team and his party and did not kill these officers and prisoners, it means that the big boss still has some ideas about returning to the imperial court.

Otherwise, the seven captains can fight with each other! This is a major event related to the step that our White Dragon Army will go to in the future. ”

A white-eyed soldier of the White Dragon Army talked eloquently, his voice was not big or small, just enough for Wu Laiyun and the others in the cave to hear.

"My God, there are so many ways in here, brother, you are really good." Everyone around gave the young man a thumbs up.

"Haha, these are also from the brother's hearsay, everyone just listen to it, but don't say it, if they are heard by the captain, be careful of the board."

"Haha, I know, everyone knows, and they won't talk nonsense." Everyone hurriedly said.

"Alright, I'll go to the toilet, and you guys will continue to stand guard."

The White Dragon Army soldier said a word and ran out.

It's just that instead of going to the toilet, he came to a training ground outside the cave, and when he came to Liu Chong, who was watching the drills of his subordinates, he said respectfully: "Captain, the subordinates have done what you said and passed the word to the group of officers." ”

"Well, you did a good job, take credit for you, you continue to go back, stay outside the cave, and it won't be long before this group of people will come to you to pass the word, and they will still act according to the plan when the time comes."

After listening to the report of this subordinate soldier, Liu Zhong also had a smile on his face and commanded him.

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will go back." With that, the soldier went back again.

"Hehe, it is estimated that the surname Wu will not be able to sit still soon, and it will be time for Lao Tzu to play, this time I will cooperate with the big boss and give the surname Wu a good show."

Liu Chong stood on the training ground and said meaningfully.
