Looking at the quiet crowd below, Cheng Yanjin cleared his throat, plucked up his internal strength, and said with full of energy, "Boys, you have been under grandpa's hands for a while, and we are relatively familiar." Grandpa has found that many people are obviously absent-minded when they practice in the past two days, which is not a good thing!

Boys, think about it, now the world is in turmoil, and the heroes are rising together, it is the time for my generation of good men to make contributions. Looking back a few hundred years ago, didn't Han Gaozu also start from a cloth cloth and establish the Han Empire? Who would have predicted that there would not be tomorrow's high-ranking officials among you?

In the process of the collapse and re-establishment of a vast empire, it is possible to gain a measure of wealth, and the former comes sooner! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! All you need is courage and boldness. As long as you are brave enough to follow me, I will never treat everyone badly!

Of course, there are dangers! The officers and soldiers of the imperial court are still very strong, and there are many rebels from all walks of life, and there will be blood and death in the war. But you have long since had nothing, your property has been forcibly occupied, the land has been occupied, it can be said that you are still there except for your own life, you are clean and slippery, living in the stinky ditch all day long, picking up food in the garbage heap, no one can look down on you, even you look down on yourself, it is no exaggeration to say that even a dog is more majestic than you!

After a pause, Cheng Yanjin raised his voice, "This kind of life, what is the difference between being alive and dead?" I can't guarantee that every one of you will return to your hometown alive, but I can guarantee that as long as you can go back alive, everyone will be called a high-ranking official, a rich man, and a nobleman! ”

Cheng Yanjin paused, looked at the crowd below who were about to move, and shouted, "Do you want to have endless gold and silver treasures?" Do you want to become a high-ranking official and control the fate of others? Let those who previously looked down on you tremble and tremble at your feet? ”

Before Cheng Yanjin's words fell, he heard the roar of the mountains and seas below, "Think!" The huge sound made the entire Changbai Mountain tremble.

Cheng Yanjin shouted, "Respected, powerful, prosperous and rich, surrounded by beautiful women----- are willing to exchange your original mediocre, tedious, and poor days for such a life?" ”

The soldiers below listened to the blood boiling, they were originally a group of outlaws who had nothing, otherwise they would not have been recruited by Cheng Yanjin, they were no longer afraid of losing, because they had nothing to lose now, and now seeing a glimmer of opportunity for their fate to change, they suddenly became excited, and responded to Cheng Yanjin with a thunderous roar, "We are willing!" ”

The loud and powerful voice expressed their desire to change their status quo and their enthusiastic support for Cheng Yanjin, who could help them change the status quo.

Looking at the passionate crowd below, Cheng Yanjin yelled, "Then what are you waiting for?" Go ahead, use all your strength, and train hard! That is the means by which you will survive on the battlefield in the future, and if you sweat more today, you will shed less blood tomorrow! For the sake of your beautiful life in the future, go! Train hard! The day you turn over is just around the corner! ”

Looking at the excited crowd below screaming like wolf cubs and rushing towards the training ground not far away, Cheng Yanjin nodded with satisfaction. Just a few days ago, when he woke up, he suddenly realized that although he could use terrorist means to rule the people under his command for a while, it was not a long-term solution, and in the long run, he used bloody means to suppress them, so these people were either driven crazy by themselves, or they took advantage of their own inattention to cut off their heads one day.

After thinking about it for a long time, and referring to the practices of those previous heroes who rebelled in the past, Cheng Yanjin came up with such an inspiring method, and now it seems that the effect is really good.

After his incitement, these people became his desperate supporters, and he said that every order he gave would be meticulously fulfilled by these people. Just look at their current mental state, you can know that compared to the lifelessness of the previous days, it is really not the same!

With such refreshed soldiers, coupled with their strong physique, and with commanders at all levels who already have some military qualities, although they dare not say that they are sweeping the world, at least they are second to none in this continent!

Just when his men were training in full swing, Cheng Yanjin also began to send people to investigate the details of his uncle's army. The art of war has a cloud of 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles', and now Cheng Yanjin only roughly knows a few famous leaders of the uncle's army, as well as the approximate number of people and the location of the station.

In order to get more specific information, Cheng Yanjin selected a group of more clever people from the Quartet Department in the four major trilogies. They were originally fishermen, and their bronzed skin and the perennial smell of the sea were a powerful means of confusing their enemies.

Cheng Yanjin ordered these people to take a small boat, go down the sea, and come to the vicinity of Nadouzihang to cast nets and fish. When it was night, a few water ghosts with good water characteristics went along the bottom of the Douzihang to investigate, and the order given by Cheng Yanjin was very clear, not to let them reckon in the Douzihang, but to carry out activities in the area of the waterway outside, to find out whether the waterway into the Douzihang was unblocked, whether there were obstacles arranged by the uncle's army under the water, and the terrain around the Douzihang.

That Douzihang was originally a salt ze, in Huimin County, negative kelp river, and the terrain was dangerous. If you attack rashly, you are afraid that the loss will not be small. Cheng Yanjin asked the spies sent out to find out all the situation and terrain around Douzihang.

When they returned, they were asked to use earth, water and mud to vividly show the terrain of the bean navigation they saw. In order to do this, even the invited veteran Cheng Yanjin sent out two of them, and asked them to assist from the side, so that they finally got this alternative sand table out.

With such a reference, during training, Cheng Yanjin ordered them to simply build a terrain similar to the sand table, and then mix and mix each part and divide it into two teams for simulated combat, one team to defend and one team to attack, and rotate every day. In order to motivate his subordinates, Cheng Yanjin specially stipulated that the side that won that day had a lot of wine and meat, and the side that lost only had coarse tea and light rice.

After training day and night, after more than half a year, Cheng Yanjin saw that the combat effectiveness was almost the same, and then opened the gate and started the next move. On this day, Cheng Yanjin personally walked out of the cottage with 3,000 people. These 3,000 centaurs are a temporary team composed of people from the four major tribes, and Cheng Yanjin took them out to do something that he should have done a long time ago, that is, to get back the Nine Tripods of the Five Elements Fire Ding in the Nine Ditches in Qi County, Bingzhou.

The other cottages on Changbai Mountain were a little surprised when they saw that the people from the Maha Ding actually pulled a group of people out, and they didn't know what the guys who had been silent for more than half a year were going to do, so they sent people to ask. Cheng Yanjin replied that because the mountain was empty, there was no food in the cottage, so he took someone out to grab some back. Seeing that those spies left one after another as if they had known this, Cheng Yanjin sneered in his heart, turned around and waved his hand, and led the people and horses down Changbai Mountain.

The reason why Cheng Yanjin wanted to get the Five Elements Fire Ding back at this juncture was because he was planning to refine the pill. The war is about to begin, and there are many places where the elixir will be used. For example, the Feng Shui Mixed Yuan Pill that can heal injuries, and the Qi Replenishing Pill that restores the internal strength of those martial arts masters.

Although these medicines are also sold in the market in the ancient tomb of Taishan Pan for martial arts people to trade, but the effect of those pills is very poor, Cheng Yanjin found that the pills prepared according to the recipe on the "Alchemy Summary" are not a little stronger than ordinary pills, and the alchemists who want to refine those ordinary pills are either cutting corners or the formula is relatively low-level, so they can't refine the pills with good quality.

Besides, refining the pills by himself can also save costs, it is much cheaper than buying them from others, you must know that the dosage of these pills is very large, and now he has little money left, and he can save a little is a little. When the business becomes bigger in the future, it is not too late to squander.

And refining the pill by yourself has another great advantage, that is, it is relatively hidden. After all, if he purchased those pills on a large scale, he was a blind and deaf person and knew that he was going to make a big move, once the news spread, the large and small forces in Qingzhou would not all stared at him with wide eyes, if he went to attack Dou Zihang at that time, there would be no surprise effect, then Dou Zihang got the news early and was prepared, but he was afraid that he would work in vain.

Therefore, Cheng Yanjin specially selected those who had medicinal materials at home to start. Anyway, with the intelligence support of Suzakudo, he is not afraid of making the wrong target. It is said that this time I was able to accurately see the target, thanks to the newly appointed deputy hall master of Suzaku Hall, Xiao Shi.

Since this Xiao Shi recruited him back from Jinyang, this Xiao Shi has entered the core of the Vermilion Bird Hall and served as a small leader. When Cheng Yanjin asked for the wind chimes of the Vermilion Bird Hall to ask around where there were people hiding a large number of medicinal materials, this Xiaoshi came up with a very bad idea and successfully completed the task.

He first dressed up as a businessman, and then spread rumors everywhere in Qingzhou, saying that he wanted to buy a large number of medicinal materials at a high price. When those who were interested in selling medicinal herbs came to the door, he pretended to check the number of medicinal materials in the other party's possession, and then left a valuable deposit, telling those medicinal herb merchants who wanted to make a lot of money to ask them to gather some of the medicinal materials they needed, and then wait a few days to come to the door to pick them up.

With the deposit he left as a guarantee, these medicinal herb dealers were not afraid of his cheating, and hurriedly transferred the goods one by one to gather the medicinal materials. However, after a few days, Xiao Shi did not come, and Cheng Yanjin arrived. As a result, not to mention the medicinal materials that these medicinal herb merchants had worked so hard to accumulate, even the rich deposits left by Xiao Shi were also taken away by Cheng Yanjin.

Not only that, Cheng Yanjin came to the homes of these rich and unkind businessmen, and swept away all the valuable things, which looked like locusts crossing the border, making those black-hearted guys want to cry without tears, and they want to find a place to crash to death. Just like this, while walking and grabbing, Cheng Yanjin finally came to the border of Qingzhou with his people.

Bingzhou can be said to be the nest of Li Valve, in order not to alarm Li Valve, Cheng Yanjin took these 3,000 men and horses to wander around the Qingzhou border under the banner of the Hero Society, robbing the local government granary today, and killing the bully Haoqiang there tomorrow.

On the day that Cheng Yanjin entered the territory of Bingzhou, the Tang brothers led more than 3,000 people to quietly descend Changbai Mountain and go straight to the border of Qingzhou. They rushed here on Cheng Yanjin's order to wait for Cheng Yanjin.

After all, Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be discovered by Li Valve's people, so just in case, he arranged for the Tang brothers to come here to quietly ambush him, so as to answer him.
