Tang Xiao asked Uncle Tang to call these four people in.

Among these four people, only one of the county commanders was a monk who cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, and the other three acting county commanders were all monks who had lost their lives.

Tang Xiao showed a kind smile, and after accepting their salute, he encouraged and comforted the four of them a few words, and then gave an order to the four of them.

Let them persuade them to surrender the last county order of Ken County within five days, and after five days, if Ken County does not surrender, their army will enter the city of Ken County, and if they succeed in persuading them to surrender, they will not only be able to keep their position, but also get a rich reward.

After the four of them were ordered to retreat, they gathered in the courtyard outside the lobby, their faces bitter.

The four of them, led by the foundation building monk, asked what to do.

Monk Zhuji sighed, and had no choice but to say helplessly: "Let's send a letter to Ken County first, and persuade Wu County Order of Ken County, if he can surrender, it will save us trouble, if he doesn't agree, let's think of other ways." This matter can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

The other three agreed.

And Uncle Tang saw the embarrassment that the four of them inadvertently revealed when they left, so he came to Tang Xiao's side and asked curiously: "Sir, why do you want to give Kenxian a chance? It's better to directly crusade against it." Now that the state capital's crusade is approaching, we don't have that much time to deal with a small reclamation county.

"And I think those four people may be embarrassed to persuade the county order of Ken County, it seems that they don't have a good way, let them do this, isn't it a waste of time?"

Tang Xiao still said mysteriously: "Simple things, complex things, naturally there is a reason to do complex things." I have my own arrangements for this, you just wait and see the results. ”

When Uncle Tang saw this, he didn't ask any more.

......

Within the state capital of the Western State.

Han Bin is running around the state capital.

Since he escaped from Changping County and returned to the state capital, he was anxious when he found that the general who the state government had decided to send to crusade against Tang Xiao and others turned out to be only Zhuji monks.

He immediately went to the state government to get the state pastor to change his decision.

But the state pastor didn't want to see him at all, even if he had the official position of the state capital, he still couldn't enter and leave the state government at will.

In the past, the state pastor was willing to give him an official position, which was just a gesture of treating his fellow clansmen well, but now that the appearance has been done, there is no need to continue acting.

He was closed, so he had to set his eyes on the eldest son of the state pastor.

The eldest son of the state pastor is the heir of the entire Han family, and the position of the eldest prince at this time is the same as that of the prince of the dynasty, the position is awkward, that is, the successor of power, but he cannot exercise power at will, and he will overstep if he is not careful, and what is even more terrifying is that there is a group of brothers on the side who are always staring at their position, wishing that they would lose their identity as heirs one day.

Therefore, for the sake of his own future, the eldest prince has always been running his own small forces.

Han Bin knew that the eldest prince was "approachable", so he went to seek refuge with the eldest prince.

In fact, the eldest prince also looks down on Han Bin, but now the eldest prince has to put on a posture of seeking talent, and bring his own relatives in official positions to take refuge, he can't drive people away, on the contrary, he has to show his enthusiasm and greet Han Bin's arrival with a smile.

Han Bin was greatly moved, and told the eldest prince his opinion of Tang Xiao's gang of thieves, and asked the eldest prince to persuade Han Zhoumu to let Han Zhoumu choose Jindan monk to lead the army instead.

But in the entire state city, there were only three Jindan monks.

Originally, there were five, but now the two more Jindan monks have already been recruited to the Song and Qin fronts, and the remaining three Jindan monks are not in high-ranking positions, and one of them is Han Zhoumu.

The three Jindan monks are already the limit of maintaining the normal operation of the Xizhou state capital.

There is a place called Misty Demon Ridge near the state city, where there are often strong demons, if there is no Jindan monk guarding the main road leading to the state city in the misty demon ridge at all times, I am afraid that the state city will be attacked by strong demons, therefore, the other two Jindan monks cannot easily leave the state city.

Therefore, if you want the state capital to send a Jindan monk to lead the army, the price is not small.

The eldest prince knew that he had no right to interfere in this kind of thing, so he had to perfunctory Han Bin.

And in response to the fall of Changping County, the eldest prince gave an idea that many people also exist.

- Changping County was because of the sudden civil strife, which gave the group of thieves an opportunity to take advantage of, which led to the fall of Changping County. If it was said that the group of rebels had premeditated, how could they have marched into Changping County after a few hours after the end of the battle in the county guard's mansion? This is unreasonable! In the intervening hours, I don't know how many famous families have taken the opportunity to transfer a large amount of property, and other people who have premeditated in advance will not let this kind of thing happen at all.

At the beginning, Tang Xiao deliberately gave up these wealth in exchange for the survival of life, but this approach was too resolute, and ordinary people would not see through the mystery.

Like the eldest prince, he thinks that it is reasonable for the thief to lack money and be greedy for money, so he naturally does not think that Tang Xiao's victory over Changping County is a premeditated thing.

Han Bin was helpless, knowing that he couldn't talk about the eldest prince all at once, so he had to choose to stay by the eldest prince's side, subtly influence the eldest prince, and wait until the time was ripe to speak to the eldest prince.

At this time, within the state capital, Han Zhoumu was meeting Wei Yuxiao and discussing with Wei Yuxiao the list of generals who would go out together.

The fall of Changping County made him feel the pressure from his political enemies, so he urged Wei Yuxiao to go on the expedition as soon as possible and recover Changping County as soon as possible.

......

Four days later.

Tang Xiao was discussing military training with Pang Ye and others in the lounge of the training ground.

In the past few days, the recruitment affairs have been going smoothly, welcoming many new recruits, and their team has once again exceeded 1,000 people.

Now the total number of soldiers has reached 1,200.

Among them, the number of women's soldiers accounts for one-third of the total.

Many ordinary people who can't eat enough are willing to join their team, not only to beg for food, but also to obtain exercises and supernatural powers to change the fate of their families.

In the past, the Song State only needed men and not women in the conscription, and many third-class citizen women who could not eat enough could only continue to struggle at the bottom of the society to make a living.

Now that they have encountered an army that does not pay attention to men and women, many women who feel hopeless about life seem to see the light of day and are naturally willing to join this army.

One of the main issues discussed by Tang Xiao and others was how to train these new women.

You must know that the psychological quality of women is not as good as that of men, once they see blood, many women will feel disgusted and afraid, but Tang Xiao and they just want to find a way to improve the psychological quality of these women's army.
