At this time, Lu Er, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, found Guan Hai and reported to him the casualties on both sides.

Guan Hai's heart ached after hearing this, and the heartache was not because there were fewer people in his hands, but because nearly 100 brothers who had followed him for many years had died, so could he not be heartbroken.

This time it can be said that it was a complete victory, Guan Hai brought a total of five teams of the cottage, nearly 500 people. After this battle, there were only about 400 left, and the cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family originally had more than 1,000 people, and the three heroes took away 50 people, and there were nearly 1,000 people. Among these people, when Guan Hai attacked the cottage, he saw that the situation was not good, and ran seventy or eighty in the chaos.

Although Guan Hai left people to guard the intersection at the bottom of the mountain, he could hold it with few people, but when there were many people, he still didn't hold it, and as a result, seventy or eighty people were fled.

And the number of people killed in the battle of the Zhu family's five heroes in the cottage is even higher, with nearly 500 people. I don't know how many of Lu Dao saw Lord Yama unconsciously in his sleep, and the ratio of the number of casualties on both sides was about one to five.

Guan Hai also understood that this time he took advantage of the surprise attack at night, otherwise the casualties of the brothers on his side would definitely be even more than this. As for the remaining 400 or so people in the cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family, seeing the death of their head of the house and the escape, the general trend has gone, so they have to surrender, that is to say, more than 400 people were captured in the Guanhai cottage.

Lu Er went down after talking about the situation, and after he left, he left Guan Hai alone with a headache. His headache was how to deal with the more than 400 captives, and it would definitely not work to kill them all.

First, he is not a murderer, and second, in general, those who surrender should not be killed, and it is difficult to say that killing prisoners is after all.

If you put it all down, it will be even worse, and the seventy or eighty that have already run away will be counted. But now to release these people again, I don't know how harmful it will be. These people have been mixed with the five heroes of the Zhu family for so many years, and it is basically impossible to let them all go, expecting them not to be bandits and change their ways.

It's not okay to leave people in the cottage and merge them into your own cottage, a stinky fish and a pot of soup, not to mention more than one. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Guan Hai feels that he has nothing to do.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that his lord was next to him, and this matter should be his headache. Thinking of this, Guan Hai felt happy and a lot more relaxed.

Then he told Ma Chao about it, who knew that Ma Chao listened to Guan Hai, and immediately showed a look, don't care about you, you have to look for me.

So Ma Chao told Guan Hai what he thought, and when Guan Hai heard it, he admired his lord and threw himself to the ground. I also thought to myself, the lord is the lord, and there is nothing good to do if I rack my brains, and the lord will have an idea to solve it immediately. In fact, Ma Chao had expected such a problem a long time ago, so he had already thought of a solution, but he didn't know this. It's not that Ma Chao is too powerful, but Guan Hai really doesn't have any brains.

After listening to Ma Chao's idea, Guan Hai immediately summoned Zhou Yi and the seven of them and told Ma Chao his idea. After all seven people understood, the implementation began.

He plus Zhou Yi and the seven of them, as well as Ma Chao and Wu Anguo, a total of ten people, responsible for the trial of the more than 400 people who were captured, and each person was responsible for more than 40 on average. First of all, the names of these more than 400 people were recorded, and after a while, these were all done.

Then the ten people interrogated the prisoners separately, of course, the prisoners were interrogated one by one, and the content of the interrogation was only one, that is, to report that any of the more than 400 people had done any bad things, of course, you can also choose not to say it, or you can say as much as you want, but the premise is that as long as you tell the truth. Once your lies are confirmed, then I'm sorry, I can only pull you out of the gang and cut you.

If three or more persons report that the same person has done the same bad thing, both the whistleblower and the person being accused shall confront each other, and if the report is made, the offender shall be punished according to the severity of the offense. Of course, the serious thing is to cut it directly, and with such a method, it took more than two days for Guan Hai to interrogate the prisoners before it was all done. …,

More than 300 people were cut down, and less than 100 people remained. Ma Chao believes that the person who was cut is absolutely not wronged, and the person who stays is definitely not saying that he has never done anything, but depending on the severity of the situation, he will not lose his life. But this was also what he expected, and it was about the same number as he expected.

After that, Guan Hai gathered nearly 100 people who were still alive together, and he said loudly: "You all know the Dao, you have killed more than 300 people in the past two days, but you should also know that none of them are wronged!" And those of you who stay, you can say that you are lucky, and today I will say to someone here that no one will pursue the past from now on! ”

Guan Hai saw that some of the people were already relieved, and then he asked people to carry a large box, and after opening it in public, everyone saw that it was all silver.

"If any of you want to join Guan Mou Cottage, I welcome you, and from now on you will be brothers in life and death! If you don't want to join the gang, then take the money and leave, and Guan will never stop you. But there is one thing to say first, if the person who left continues to be known for evil, then Guan will definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth and eliminate harm for the people! ”

After speaking, Guan Hai also picked up a big knife and slashed at the flagpole next to him, and the flagpole was broken in response. "If there is a transgressor, there is such a pole! So are the brothers who join us! Brothers who join us, Guan Mou is welcome, but Guan Mou is not like the Zhu family Wuxiong, so if you don't want to join, you don't have to force yourself. No matter what he says, everyone goes down the mountain, I will never stop it, everyone please make a choice! ”

After everyone listened to Guan Hai's words, you look at me, I look at you, no one has made a move for a while, it can be said that Guan Hai's words are a combination of grace and power. Everyone heard it very clearly, if they want to stay and join the gang, they will have to abide by the rules of other people's cottages in the future, or their heads will be the same as the flagpole. It's okay to take the money and leave, but don't make a mistake in the future, or let the family know that you will die even worse.

After a while, someone came to the chest, took the money, and went down the mountain. With the first, there is a second, a third, a fourth...... One after another, no one left after the last, and those who remained were all in place.

After a while, there was still no movement, Guan Hai took a look, and counted a total of thirty-two people left, that is to say, one-third was left, and two-thirds were gone, which was expected.

"From this moment on, you are my brothers!"

After speaking, Guan Hai called Wu Anguo over again and transferred all the thirty-two people to him as his subordinates. Guan Hai had already introduced Wu Anguo to the cottage people before, and Zhou Yi and the others also knew Wu Anguo's ability, and they all knew that he was the person introduced by Ma Gongzi, so of course they would not have any opinions. Now Wu Anguo is on an equal footing with them, but they are not jealous, and they are still happy that there are new talents in the cottage.

It can be said that Guan Hai's seven henchmen are really good, at least in Ma Chao's eyes, he is still very satisfied. Originally, Guan Hai originally meant to let Wu Anguo directly be the second master, but his kindness was rejected by Ma Chao. Ma Chao felt that there was no need for that, as long as he was in the cottage, it was not too important where Wu Anguo was, his original intention was to increase the strength of the cottage, and he could also exercise Wu Anguo.

Guan Hai really couldn't help it, but in the end, he still put Wu Anguo in the same position as Zhou Yi and them. Wu Anguo has no complaints about this, for him, it is most important to do a good job in the things arranged by the lord, and the rest is really nothing.

After dealing with the matter of the captives, Guan Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, he did have a headache before, and Ma Chao's idea he thought was the best way at present, and the facts proved that this was indeed the case. …,

"Boss, you've handled it well!" Ma Chao did not hesitate to praise Guan Hai.

Guan Hai smiled, "The main thing is that the lord's idea is good!" ”

"Come on, boss, you don't have to be modest, doing well is good, you're not in vain!" Ma Chao said with a smile.

Guan Hai scratched the back of his head and smirked a few times, he was still very proud of the lord's praise.

"I heard that the lord is leaving again?" Guan Hai asked.

"yes, I'm really going to leave this time!" Ma Chao looked at Guan Hai and said.

"Subordinate, subordinate in Qingzhou waiting for the lord to come back!"

Ma Chao patted Guan Hai on the shoulder, "Don't worry, old man, I will come back sooner or later!" Let's go to do something big together! "When the time comes, let's work together to make the world peaceful as soon as possible, and this is what Ma Chao thinks in his heart.

stayed in the cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family for another night, and on the second day, everyone returned to the cottage of Guanhai. After all, that place is his own mountain, and before leaving, Guan Hai burned the cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family to the ground, and then led everyone back to his cottage.

This time, the cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family can be said to have gained a lot, not only killing the four heroes, but also seizing a lot of loot from the other party's cottage. Money, food, and weapons can be said to be fully loaded, and there are also horses or something.

The cottage of the five heroes of the Zhu family is much richer than the cottage of Guanhai, after years of operation, the family background is not ordinarily rich, and the family background is equivalent to the family base of four or five Guanhai cottages.

When Guan Hai reported these to Ma Chao, Ma Chao was also a little surprised, to say that this is a thief, especially a big thief like the Zhu family Wuxiong, he knows that these people must be indispensable, but the number Guan Hai told him is still beyond his expectations.

Ma Chao was happy in his heart, that is a must, the war depends on the family's foundation, there is no money and no food, you can still count on a few people to follow you, so there is more money and food, which means that his strength is also increasing, and he will have to fight in the future. It can be said that now I have a little bit of my own family background, as for what will happen in the future, I have to take it slowly step by step.

The group returned to the cottage with the booty, and in addition to the booty, the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle in the Guanhai cottage were also brought back. Fortunately, it's winter, or it's really hard to save these days, and there is also the credit of Ma Chao here. Therefore, the whole cottage can be said to be very grateful to Ma Chao, in Guan Hai's words, Ma Gongzi has come up with a good way to keep the brothers' bodies intact and buried in our cottage, and Ma Gongzi has been the great benefactor of our entire cottage since then.

If you want to say that even if you don't manage these words, the cottage will treat Ma Chao as a benefactor. Because of Ma Chao's relationship, they eliminated the enemies for many years, and because of Ma Chao, the dead brothers were buried, so Ma Chao's prestige in the cottage was second only to Guan Hai.

This is the case, the vast majority of people in the cottage have never seen Ma Chao, but they all know that there is a Ma Gongzi who has done a lot for the cottage, and they all know that Ma Gongzi is not only superb in martial arts, but also has an irreversible relationship with the master, and the two are not acquaintances.

In this regard, Guan Hai thinks it's very good, after all, if he announces that he will worship Ma Chao as the lord in the future, he will go to do great things with the lord at that time, and naturally the brothers will have to be together. And their recognition of their lord naturally determines how many people can follow the lord to do great things together.

Of course, Guan Hai hopes that everyone can be together, which also gives the brothers a better way out. But he also understands that everyone has their own aspirations, and it is impossible for everyone, so he can only hope that there are as many as possible.

Ma Chao didn't feel anything about this, because he had long regarded the people in the cottage as his own, and he was also happy about the recognition of the people in the cottage. However, in his opinion, even if the people in the cottage do not recognize him for the time being, then he has a way to get everyone's recognition in the future, and he is still very confident in this.

In Ma Chao's opinion, if this little thing is not done, then what will be talked about dominating the world and competing for the deer. In the future, you will only encounter more difficult and troublesome things than this, and encounter stronger, more powerful, and more difficult enemies to deal with. If you can't get rid of them, if you can't trample them under your feet, then the worst thing is to be solved by others, and to be trampled under the feet of others.

There is no turning back from the bow, since you have chosen the path that cannot be turned back, you can only go down step by step until you reach the day you reach your destination.
