The child's play of the battle ended quickly. The generals and Xia Zhen had already fled, and the soldiers were scurrying all over the ground in a panic.

After Rihito led the horse team to catch up, he shouted loudly to the panicked soldiers on his horse, "Surrender or kill." ~！ As Rihito shouted, the soldiers who followed Rihito's attack also began to shout.

When the officers and men heard that they would not kill when they had surrendered, they immediately threw away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. When they saw this, the soldiers on their horses did not slash at them, but they also let themselves shout with them.

After tidying up the ranks of the captured officers and soldiers, Rihito rode his horse and glanced at the officers and soldiers who were still shivering. When the guards stepped forward, Liren asked, "Are there so many prisoners here?" ”

The guard replied: "My lord! Here are sixteen thousand three hundred captives. ”

Rihito nodded, and instructed the guards, "Ask them if they would like to go with us?" ”

After the guards made a promise, they asked the angry officers and soldiers who had just been captured: "You have been captured by us, now I ask, who wants to go with us?" ”

The captives below exchanged their heads one after another, and a few dared to ask, "Are we unwilling to go with you, and you will kill us?" ”

The guards couldn't answer, so they turned their heads to look at Liren, who rode a few steps forward and said to these people: "You asked a good question, now I will tell you that the purpose of our Vermilion Bird Army is not to kill a single Chinese prisoner." Because everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, there is no need to capture you and kill you, which will make outsiders laugh. ”

The bold ones said, "Did you say count?" ”

"Bold! This is our lord, how dare you ask such a question? The guard said angrily.

Rihito sat on his horse and said to the guard: "It doesn't have to be like this, they are right to ask for their own lives. The guard hugged his fist at Liren: "No! The lord is right. Then he stood quietly aside.

When the bold captives heard that this was the leader of the thief army who had captured them in front of them, they were a little disbelieving. But one of them asked, "Are you really their chief?" ”

Liren laughed: "I know, you don't want to believe it, but I, Yang Liren, dare to swear to the sky, if every word I say today is not correct, I will be thundered by the sky." ”

The captives were convinced of Rihito's oath, and the bold ones said to Rihito, "Then please let the chief spare me and others, and I will repay them in the future." ”

Li Ren nodded immediately: "Okay, who wants to walk here and receive 5 taels of silver." Then he pointed to the box that the guards had brought over.

The bold ones kept their eyes in their eyes and asked, "Why did the chief send me 5 taels of silver?" ”

"If you want to go, take it with confidence, I don't feel like I'm waiting for you. It's just a little bit of a shock to everyone. Rihito said with a smile to the bold captives.

The bold captives cautiously walked up to the guards guarding the silver box, and the guards took out the silver with an expressionless face and gave each of them five taels, and then ignored these people.

The captives took the silver in their hands and put it in their mouths one after another, and after it must have been silver, they hurriedly put it in their arms. Walked up to Rihito and knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Rihito pointed the horsewhip in his hand in the direction of Jizhou and said to them, "Go! When I got home, I saw my family and said hello to me. ”

A few brave captives looked at Rihito's face with tears in their eyes and said to Rihito: "Thank you~!" He turned around and ran. As soon as these people left, the captives below exploded, and they all said loudly to Liren: "Please let the leader let me go back later~!" ”

Li Ren smiled, nodded to them and said generously: "If you want to leave, just come and get five taels of silver." The captives took the money and walked away gratefully.

Zhang Hu and Yang Biao, who were behind Liren, looked at each other and didn't understand, Yang Biao asked Yang Zhiwen next to him: "Brother! Tell me, what is Rihito talking to? Isn't this pouring silver into the water? ”

Yang Zhiwen smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Lei next to him and asked him, "Brother Zhang, do you know?" Zhang Lei laughed and said: "Brother Zhiwen, you have already guessed it, and you are still here to embarrass me?" ”

Yang Biao was even more confused, and asked Yang Zhiwen a little unhappily: "Brother, don't play dumb riddles for your brother, don't you know your brother yet?" Let's hear about it. ”

Yang Zhiwen looked at Yang Biao's fierce face with a face full of questions, and said to him mysteriously: "Brother Biao, this is a heavenly opportunity. Heaven cannot be revealed. If you really want to know, go ask Rihito. Ha ha! ”

Yang Biao said angrily: "What kind of people are you, you know how to tease your brother in one day." Now, if I ask Liren, I won't be trained by him again. After a few easy years, I didn't look for trouble. ”

Yang Zhiwen heard this heartless Yang Biao talk about how Liren often beat him up when he was a child, and he thought about the carefree life of coming to Yangjiazhuang for so many years.

After a long time, the captives were almost gone, and there were only about 2,000 men left. Riren asked them, "Why don't you go?" ”

These people chose a leader and said: "We were originally a happy family, but because the brother-in-law of the governor of the state capital and other bullies ran rampant in the township, our family was ruined, and finally we were dragged into the military household, and from then on we could only be soldiers." Now I see that the leader is so benevolent and righteous, and I want to follow the leader in the future, but I don't know if the leader will accept it? ”

Rihito looked at the captives who had chosen to stay, and said to them in a loud voice, "You must think well and follow us, but if you live a life of licking blood with knives, you may be beheaded that day." ”

"We're not afraid, we can't make a fuss and lose a big scar from the bowl, and we will be a good man again eighteen years later." The earth-shattering roar shocked Rihito.

Li Ren immediately made a decision: "Okay, since everyone chooses to stay, I will take you in." From this day forward, you will be like my soldiers, a tael of silver a month. But! You must abide by my military discipline and military law, and you must be able to withstand our training. ”

When the captives heard that they still had one tael of silver a month, they happily swore to Liren: "We will definitely abide by the military discipline and military law of the lord, and we will definitely be able to withstand the hardships of training." In this way, Liren took in these soldiers who had been captured by the official army.

When the captives were pacified, Liren got off his horse and asked Zhang Hu, "How many casualties do we have?" ”

Zhang Hu clenched his fists and replied, "Your lord! We only wounded more than a thousand brothers, and none of them died. ”

Li Ren nodded happily: "Very good, these more than 1,000 wounded soldiers will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver each, and all the other uninjured soldiers will be given five taels of silver as a reward." ”

Zhang Hu listened carefully and said to Liren: "Lord, just now you gave the prisoners of the official army the silver, and we don't have much money left. What do you think we can do? ”

Liren asked Zhang Hu funny: "What do you think we should do?" Have you forgotten what we did in the first place? ”

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment and said, "Lord, this is a bit wrong, right?" Besides, it's your hometown. ”

"Hey! I really can't do anything about you, listen to me, you look for the soldiers who stayed just now, they are all locals, and they know which ones are in the fish and meat country and are harming the people. These people must have all the money, rob them all, and then give them to the local people to divide thirty percent. We leave seventy percent. Isn't there silver? Liren reluctantly said to Zhang Hu in detail.

Only then did Zhang Hu come to his senses and hurriedly went to find the captives who had just taken refuge. At this time, Liren called Zhang Lei and instructed in a low voice: "You send people to find out the roots of these people, and you must arrange manpower to monitor day and night." Remember not to be exposed. ”

Zhang Lei looked at Liren and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the lord is suspicious~~" Liren booed and nodded. Zhang Lei went down to look for manpower clearly.

At this time, Yang Biao couldn't help but ask Liren: "Brother, I just don't understand, why did you scatter the silver into the water?" ”

Li Ren looked at Yang Biao, who looked fierce and benevolent in his heart, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you will understand in the future, it's better not to know now." Yang Biao nodded trustingly: "Okay, since my brother won't let me know, I don't know, when do you want me to let me know, tell me about it." ”
