Li Xiaofei walked for six days with more than 300 people, and finally arrived at the foot of Tianhua Mountain to join Qin Shun and Xie Tan. The two groups of people were not damaged, and Qin Shun also took in dozens of homeless people along the way. In the direction of Chang'an, there have been no pursuers.

Li Xiaofei had time to examine his army again, half of the 300 people had broken hands or missing fingers, the other half were either missing an eye or a wounded leg, and none of the 300 people were physically intact. Qin Shun and Xie Tan followed and looked at the team, and immediately became puzzled, so they pulled Li Xiaofei aside: "Deputy Envoy Li, why are the soldiers you spend money on are all wounded soldiers?" What if you encounter a strong enemy? ”

Li Xiaofei did not shy away from saying loudly to the group of soldiers who were resting on the ground back to back: "These are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, they are treasures in the army, they each have their own skills, and they are inferior to the Chen family army in terms of skill and combat power. When I picked them, I asked them to take off their clothes, and I saw their scars and calluses that often held knives on their hands. ”

The soldiers on the ground responded one after another: "We are all veterans of more than ten years of fighting, and because we were wounded, we were abandoned by their officials."

"Finally met a person who knows the goods"

"Maybe I can have the opportunity to go home and see my wife and children"

"Don't be too happy, he's just a child, we don't know when we'll die" A discordant voice suddenly came out of the crowd, and everyone looked over, it was a stout man in his thirties sitting on the ground, missing his left arm, carrying a spear, and a wine gourd hung on the red tassel of the spear, and the man had two scars on his face, both on the left side of his face, like a two characters.

Everyone laughed: "This Meng crow, there has never been a good word in his mouth, it is true that his crow's mouth will kill us sooner or later."

Li Xiaofei got serious and walked over: "Brother Meng, in the past, Ganluo was the prime minister of Qin at the age of twelve, and he also earned more than a dozen cities for Qin, I am now sixteen years old, although I am not as good as Ganluo, but I will never take everyone to die in vain, the first requirement of my army is that everyone can't die in vain, they all have to live well!" ”

Meng Crow sneered: "Hmph, are you all those people who will only rush forward without their lives?" These people are ghostly, and their ability to fight may not be as good as my Meng Crow, but I can't catch up with my ability to escape for eight lifetimes! I don't know if you, the main general, will let them die in the first battle. By the way, they are still with you to this day, not because of how loyal they are, but because you are stupid and have a lot of money. Haha, I met a stupid boy who thought he was proficient in reading people, and chose a bunch of lame crutches and blind people to fight, this is really ancient and modern."

A bunch of people next to him threw clods of soil at him and scolded him, Li Xiaofei stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to stop: "Maybe your brother Meng is telling the truth, but I'm not afraid, I believe in life, my life is blessed, others treat you as useless people, but I treat you as a baby." I'll tell the truth today, soldiers who can flee for their lives may not be able to conquer everything, but they will definitely be undefeated in every battle, and only the surviving army will have a chance to become the strongest army. I'm really stupid, I won't come to Qin if I'm not stupid, and I have a lot of money, but it's all in Chuzhou and Shou County. I promise you that as long as you follow me to Shou County and buy a house for everyone, you can take your family over. If I was willing to go home, I would give me money and food. If he dies in the middle of the war, I will definitely sympathize with his family! ”

Even Meng Crow stopped crowing his mouth when he said this, and Meng Crow was the first to ask: "I don't have a family yet, is the foolish general helping to make a reunion?" ”

Li Xiaofei laughed: "As long as Brother Meng follows me to Shou County, I will definitely marry you a daughter-in-law and make a family for you."

Meng Crow sat up from the ground: "It's a word, fool general, if I die in the middle of the road, you have to burn me a beautiful daughter-in-law who is a papier-mâché, if you don't burn it, Lao Tzu will scare you every day if he is a ghost!" ”

Li Xiaofei and everyone laughed: "This crow's mouth, even he said, what are we going to do with him?" ”

A middle-aged soldier asked curiously: "I said Meng Crow, you haven't spoken for a few days along the way, why have you held it back for six days this time, let me see if your tongue has sores?" ”

Meng Crow kicked him: "Huang Banxian, your mouth is sore, if I say a few words along the way, it's strange if you don't all run away, I said that every time you have a divination in the past six days, it is a good omen, are you also afraid that Shao will receive a reward?"

Huang Banxian understood it and smiled, took out a few coins and threw them on the ground, and there was a decent divination.

"Yo, Tun hexagram, the wind is blowing chaotically, the wind is messy, the wind is chaotic, the sorrow is upside down, it's not good, it's not good, this hexagram is unlucky today, we are in trouble, this place is not suitable for a long time, Master Li, we have to go east, we can't go south" Huang Banxian squinted and looked at Li Xiaofei seriously, waiting for Li Xiaofei to decide.

Without waiting for Li Xiaofei to speak, Xie Tan answered: "Slow from the money to the left, hurry and provoke not freedom." Although this hexagram is dangerous, it also has a glimmer of life, that is, to go west, but if you go west, won't you return to the hinterland of Qin? “

Huang Banxian opened his eyes and bowed: "Yo, it turns out that this adult is an expert in divination, and he got an axe at the end of work, which is disrespectful and disrespectful."

Li Xiaofei didn't listen to the words of these two diviners, but asked Meng Crow: "Brother Meng, you say, which way can we go back to Shou County to marry your daughter-in-law?" ”

Meng Crow lifted his spear and pointed to the mountain: "Over Tianhua Mountain, after Wannian Village, we will almost reach Xiangyang, we have to go south over the mountain and then go east."

Huang Banxian and Xie Tan both looked at Meng Crow, and Meng Crow continued: "If you listen to the fortune teller, you will die every time, no, not every time, it will be gone."

Li Xiaofei looked at the crowd around him and shouted: "Line up"

Meng Crow was the first to stand in front of Li Xiaofei and stood upright, and the rest of the people quickly got up and lined up.

Li Xiaofei looked at the team and decided to divide the team into three teams, led by him and Qin Shun Xie Tan, he divided the twenty-five yellow-clothed internal guards into ten people to Qin Shun's team, divided twelve people into Xie Tan's team, and left two of them as guards. The recruited soldiers were divided into 100 people for Xie Tan and Qin Shun, and Huang Banxian was specially assigned to Xie Tan to discuss the gossip and hexagrams, and Xie Tan was very happy to meet admirers.

Li Xiaofei looked at the group of soldiers in his team, and chose a person with a leg injury who had not spoken: "This eldest brother has always been very quiet, but his movements are much faster than ordinary people, I really want to know the name of the eldest brother, I want you to be my deputy captain."

This person is half a head taller than the average person, with a thin body and a delicate face, standing in this group of people really stands out from the crowd, he doesn't look like a soldier, or he looks like a scholar.

Meng Crow spoke again: "Fool general, don't bother, this is a mute, we all call him dumb"

Everyone was silent, but the man who was called mute spoke: "Longcheng Murong Ling", and as soon as the words fell, his left hand had already pinched Meng Crow's throat.

Murong Ling glared at Meng Crow fiercely, then let go and pushed Meng Crow away, retreating into the team by himself.

This action was too fast, Meng Crow didn't have time to fight back, Li Xiaofei stretched out his hand to stop Meng Crow from coming over to seek revenge: "You can't beat this little brother Murong Ling, you can be like this crow mouth to us, this little brother, you still don't have to be cheap, he wants to beat you and kill you, you have no power to fight back"

Meng Crow was not convinced, but still rushed up to hit Murong Ling, Murong Ling raised his uninjured left leg and let Meng Crow fly out and fall into a, Murong Ling's injured right leg shook slightly.

Li Xiaofei saw that everyone didn't dare to come out, so he announced the order: "Murong Ling is the deputy captain of the team, and he is specially responsible for supervising the battle, and he can be killed directly if he encounters someone who escapes and joins the enemy." Meng Crow is the grain and grass officer of the team, who is responsible for escorting and collecting grain and grass. Did you all get it? “

Murong Ling nodded, and everyone else responded in unison: "Eat General Li's food, be General Li's soldier, and swear to follow General Li to the death."
