228, this is really a group of actors!

(Thanks to the book friend [Chen Luokai Aircraft Carrier Laiye] for his reward and monthly ticket support, and he is also the first deacon in this book, and I will add a more one tomorrow to show my gratitude, thank you for your support!) ）

Soon, Li Zixiao, who received Liu Chong's news, showed joy on his face, and said to Quartz next to him: "Stone, go and gather all the captains of each team, let's change the acting." ”

Soon after, Quartz brought Zhou Dazhu, Wei Hong, Luo Chao, Qi Wei and others to the conference hall.

"Big boss, I heard that the guy surnamed Wu has taken the bait?" Wei Hong asked excitedly as soon as he arrived.

"Well, Liu Chong will bring him over later, now it's time for you to perform, according to the roles we have divided before, Da Zhu, Wei Hong, you play the white face, Luo Chao and Qi Wei play the red face, and the military advisor will be responsible for the mud.

All of this is played for the surnamed Wu, not only to put pressure on him, but also to let him see the hope of surrendering us, and he can't bargain with him more for the sake of later. ”

Li Zixiao looked at the generals under him with a smile and admonished.

"Big boss, can you rest assured, we have been ready for a long time, and we will see how I can scare the old boy surnamed Wu, haha." Zhou Dazhu said with a laugh.

"Report, big boss, Captain Liu has brought someone over."

At this time, a white dragon sergeant ran in and reported.

"Alright, let's get started."

Wu Laiyun followed behind Liu Chong, and along the way, he kept thinking about how to persuade Li Zixiao later, and soon entered the White Snake Village.

At this time, the scale of the White Snake Village has expanded several times compared with before, and thousands of soldiers of the White Dragon Army have practiced in the school field, the martial arts field and other places.

The shouting and killing sounded loudly, and the training scene was in full swing, which really shocked Wu Laiyun.

It had been a long time since he had seen such a large-scale collective training scene, and at this time he finally understood why this group of bandits was so strong.

This made him more determined in his heart, this time he was already going to move Li Zixiao, return to the imperial court, and even pull him into his own faction, even if it was to pay some more price.

When Liu Zhong took Wu Laiyun all the way to the conference hall, before they could enter the room, they heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"Lao Tzu told you, Lao Tzu killed and didn't agree to serve the court, damn it, how many of our brothers died in the hands of that group of dog officials, Lao Tzu and they don't share the sky."

Zhou Dazhu roared loudly, his tone full of resentment.

"I also agree with Lao Zhou's words, our development form at this time is very good, our White Dragon Army is strong and strong, we want money and money in our hands, we want food and grain, why do we need to surrender to the court, look at the faces of those officials."

Wei Hong was also supportive on the side.

"Lao Zhou, you can't say that, bandits are bandits after all, and they can't last long, so our White Dragon Army can develop for a longer time by returning to the imperial court.

Besides, it's normal to die in war, and let's not talk less about officers and soldiers. Luo Chao on the side immediately retorted.

"Brother Luo is right, let's take a long-term view, it's not a matter after all, and it's difficult to succeed in rebellion, look at the current rebels have not been driven back to the mountains by the imperial army, and they dare not come out.

If you want me to see it, it is most appropriate to surrender to the imperial court, and when the time comes, we can be crowned officials and worship the generals, and we can also return to our hometown in fine clothes and glorify our ancestors. Qi Wei immediately added.

"Damn, surnamed Luo, surnamed Qi, I think the two of you are used to being dogs in the government, and you have been kicked out, and you don't forget to go back and continue to be dogs, I think you are dogs and can't change ****."

"The surname is Zhou, let's discuss things and discuss things, who are you scolding?"

"You're the one who scolds, what's up?"

"What's going on? Lao Tzu beats you. ”

"Hehe, beat me, come on, see if Lao Tzu beats you to death."

Wu Laiyun listened to these fierce arguments coming from the conference hall, and even in the end, it was about to evolve from quarrels to mutual hatred.

Don't think about it, Wu Laiyun also knows that this is a dispute between the 'rebels' and the 'Zhao'an faction' generals in Li Zixiao's hands, he didn't expect it to be so intense.

But because of this, Wu Laiyun saw the possibility of the results of his operation, at least now it seems that Li Zixiao has not made a final decision.

Li Zixiao looked at the subordinate generals arguing and scolding each other at this time, with angry expressions and loud roars, they were really in place.

made Li Zixiao sigh with emotion: This is really a group of natural actors! If this is born in the 21st century, everyone will take the strength of the little golden man!

Wu Laiyun followed Liu Chong into the conference hall, and saw two groups of people lined up on both sides, scolding each other, and Li Zixiao was sitting on the seat above, looking at him at this time.

"This official Fengyang is the commander of Tongzhi, and he has seen Li Da in charge."

Wu Laiyun put his posture very low, did not put on his official stand, but took the lead in saying to Li Zixiao.

"Get on your knees."

At this time, Zhou Dazhu on the side roared angrily, which suddenly made Wu Laiyun's face look ugly.

Although he can lower his posture, he will never kneel, otherwise once it spreads, how will he gain a foothold in the government in the future.

"Dazhu, stand down."

Fortunately, at this time, Li Zixiao took the initiative to speak, which made Wu Laiyun's heart feel relieved.

"I heard that Lord Wu has always wanted to see me, but I don't know why?" Li Zixiao asked coldly with a straight face.

"This official is here to show a clear way for the big bosses."

"Oh? Haha, Minglu? You're here to persuade me to take refuge in the court. ”

"Sure enough, you can't hide it from the big boss, exactly."

"Is that really what you call Minglu? Why didn't I realize it, what good is it for us to take refuge in the imperial court, it's just to put a set of shackles on ourselves, why should I! ”

Li Zixiao said disappreciatively.

"Big boss, you seem to be making a lot of trouble at this time, but if you continue to fight against the government, you will inevitably be exterminated sooner or later......"

"Dog officer, let you/mother's dog stinky fart, and then dare to bewitch the public, Lao Tzu will kill you." Before Wu Laiyun finished speaking, Zhou Dazhu on the side was about to rush over.

"Old Zhou, what are you doing, calm down." was stopped by Liu Zhong on the side.

"Dazhu, don't be presumptuous."

As Li Zixiao spoke, Zhou Dazhu glared at Wu Laiyun angrily, and retreated unwillingly, letting Wu Laiyun wipe a cold sweat.

"But Lao Tzu thinks that instead of taking refuge in the imperial court and being a small thousand households, it is better to be comfortable to be the king of the mountain here."

Li Zixiao said with a sneer.

"Li Dangjia, it was the official's fault before, the reason why the official promised to give Li Dangjia the official position of a thousand households is really the greatest authority of the official, so he can only give the position of a thousand households.

But at this time, it seems that it is really condescending to let Li Dangjia be a small thousand households, at least he must be a garrison, in order to be worthy of the identity of Li Da's family! ”

Wu Laiyun saw that Li Zixiao was dissatisfied with the official position he had offered before, so he immediately increased.

"Is it just a garrison?"

But from Li Zixiao's tone, he seemed to be dissatisfied, which made Wu Laiyun curse in his heart: Damn, your appetite is really big, and I am not afraid to kill you.

However, at this time, Wu Laiyun had no way to retreat, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Gritting his teeth for the sake of his own life, he continued to smile and said: "In fact, if the Li Da family is really willing to lead his troops to serve the imperial court, in the eyes of this official, it is most appropriate to seal a guerrilla." ”

"Yes, guerrilla!"

At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Zixiao's face, and he no longer had a cold face, which made Wu Laiyun even more decisive that Li Zixiao couldn't just ask for a higher official position.

At this time, Wu Laiyun also regarded Li Zixiao as a guy who was greedy for vanity and had a great official addiction, and he knew how to deal with this kind of person.

"Okay, you all step down, I have something to discuss with Lord Wu." At this time, Li Zixiao said to his subordinates.

"Big boss, don't promise this dog official!" Zhou Dazhu still shouted unwillingly.

"Zhou Dazhu, step aside, how Lao Tzu decides, it's not your turn to teach you a lesson." Li Zixiao reprimanded coldly.

Seeing this, Wu Laiyun knew that Li Zixiao was moved, maybe he could really succeed this time.

After everyone withdrew, Li Zixiao and Wu Laiyun were left in the conference hall, and Li Zixiao immediately put on a smiling face.

walked up to Wu Laiyun and said kindly: "Lord Wu, please take a seat, to be honest, I have long been tired of being a bandit, and I have long had the intention of returning to the imperial court."

But as you can see, many of my subordinates don't support it, which makes me very embarrassed! ”

"I believe that Li Dangjia can convince his subordinates, I see that Li Dangjia's subordinates are very obedient to your orders, if Li Dangjia makes a decision to return to the imperial court, I believe that Li Dangjia's subordinates will all follow."

"If I promise to return to the imperial court, can the imperial court really seal me a guerrilla, can't I be higher?" Li Zixiao asked tentatively.

As soon as Wu Laiyun heard the meaning of Li Zixiao's words, he knew that Li Zixiao still wanted to get a higher official position, and he was immediately angry in his heart.

You are so greedy, even a guerrilla can't satisfy your ambitions.

However, in Wu Laiyun's view, the position of guerrilla may be the highest official position that the imperial court can give to Li Zixiao, and even then he needs to use a lot of connections.

Further up are the generals, deputy generals and even the general soldiers, and it is impossible for these imperial courts to give Li Zixiao such a small pole all the way.

Otherwise, if the imperial court wants to recruit Li Zicheng in the future, what kind of bargaining chips will Zhang Xianzhong have!

So Wu Laiyun could only say helplessly: "This official does not deceive Li Dangjia, this may already be the highest position that Li Dajia can obtain."

However, if Li Dangjia has any other requirements, they can also be put forward, as long as they are not particularly excessive, the imperial court will consider them. ”

"That's it! Master Wu, give me two days to think. Li Zixiao pretended to hesitate and said.

"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news of Li Dangjia, but Li Dangjia had better hurry up, otherwise the imperial court will really mobilize a large army from elsewhere to encircle and suppress you, and it will be too late by then."

Wu Laiyun didn't scare Li Zixiao in the end, he was in a hurry!

"Come on, arrange a room for Lord Wu, and serve good wine and meat."

Li Zixiao directly showed his attitude with his actions, and did not send Wu Laiyun back to the Houshan Cave, which in Wu Laiyun's opinion he was already half of the battle.

In fact, what Li Zixiao really cares about is not the official position that the imperial court wants to give him.

But next, some of the conditions he wants to put forward to Wu Laiyun are just a trick that he wants to get away with.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, otherwise it will be easy to show the horse's feet, and if you want to be anxious, let Wu Laiyun and them be in a hurry, so Li Zixiao needs to dry him for a few days.

……………………………………………………………………

In the next two days, Li Zixiao still has a lot of things to do.

Seeing that the time is in mid-May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter again, and it will soon be the time for the summer harvest.

At this time, Li Zixiao also arranged the affairs of the general, and began to recruit troops in White Snake Village.

With the battle of Wanglongpo, the White Dragon Army defeated the remnants of the official army, and the local people trusted the White Dragon Army even more.

They also all knew that this time the White Dragon Army took the initiative to go out to meet the official army this time, which was to protect them from the scourge of the official army, and at the same time keep the land they had been allocated.

Therefore, many young people from local villages who heard the news immediately came to apply.

Even some displaced people from the surrounding states and counties, after learning the news, also poured in towards the boundary of Yongcheng County and rushed to the outside of the White Snake Village Pass to apply.

For a while, the mountain pass outside the White Snake Village was once again lively, and the people who rushed to apply for the recruitment almost crushed the recruiting platform set up by the White Dragon Army at the foot of the mountain.

These people were afraid that this time the White Dragon Army would recruit soldiers, and they would not have their share, so they squeezed to the recruitment office one by one, logged in their names, places of origin and other information, and waited for the White Dragon Army to select them.

However, Li Zixiao considered that the summer harvest would soon be coming, and all places needed young people to participate in the summer harvest, and this time he recruited not many soldiers.

Li Zixiao's tentative number was only about 1,000 people, but he didn't expect so many people to come.

However, this made Li Zixiao very happy, which at least showed that the White Dragon Army had won the support of the local people, which would be beneficial for them to gain a foothold here in the future.

This recruitment, Li Zixiao handed over the matter to Wei Hong to preside.

At the beginning of recruitment, Wei Hong set the recruitment requirements in accordance with Li Zixiao's personal recruitment requirements, strictly controlled the quality of soldiers, and if they failed to meet the requirements, they were immediately eliminated.

Only the strong and honest personnel who meet all the recruitment requirements of the White Dragon Army were left behind, and they were incorporated into the new barracks.

As for those who were eliminated, it was the locals who continued to go home to farm, and the displaced people who came from outside, the White Dragon Army also registered them and handed them over to Qian Guangyuan for unified resettlement.

For these things, Li Zixiao naturally doesn't need him to take care of them personally, except for showing up, and he leaves them all to his subordinates to do.

And he personally led his subordinates to hold a grand memorial ceremony in the just-completed Martyrs' Shrine in White Snake Village.

It turned out that the names of the fallen soldiers who followed Li Zixiao were all engraved on the stone tablet of the Martyrs' Shrine, including the spirit cards of the soldiers who died in this war, and they were also placed in the Martyrs' Shrine.

Li Zixiao personally presided over this memorial ceremony, and also specially arranged a few disabled veterans to take care of the martyrs' shrine here and not cut off the incense here.

The soldiers of the White Dragon Army also came here to pay their respects and remember these brothers who had fought side by side with them.

Although this matter does not seem to be a big deal, Li Zixiao attaches great importance to it.

Even those recruits who had just been recruited into the army ordered Wei Hong to lead them to the martyrs' shrine to pay homage to these former martyrs of the White Dragon Army.

Telling these recruits about the experience of the White Dragon Army's previous battles is to let everyone have a sense of honor.

Don't look at it as just such a subtle thing, but it has extraordinary significance to the officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

Many soldiers of the White Dragon Army, when they visited the Martyrs' Shrine, looked at the names of those people on the stone tablet, and secretly rejoiced for themselves.

Fortunately, they are the right masters, otherwise, who would not have forgotten them until now?

Even if one day, they die on the battlefield, their names can be engraved on the stone tablets here, and there will be people who worship them all the time.

In the past, Li Zixiao had few people in his hands and was not strong, and after every war, they would carry out simple worship of the brothers who died in battle, and this habit has been retained.

Because by doing so, it can strengthen the cohesion of the White Dragon Army.

The theory of ghosts and gods was still popular in feudal society at this time, and people still attached great importance to being worshiped after death.

Now that Li Zixiao is building the Martyrs' Shrine, everything is a matter of course, and no one opposes it.
