After the Taixi-style juju competition, the eleven Lang Jun of Jingbian Fort received a reward of 3,000 taels, and these Lang Jun originally planned to hand over all the rewards to Liu Renyu, but they were categorically rejected by their own generals.

As for the reason for the refusal, Liu Renyu said this: "You wait to eat with your face and get money with your ability, but I also provide you with a platform to show your talents, so let's split the account, what do you think?" ”

Naturally, all the Lang Jun refused again and again, saying something like 'It's not for Lord Liu's tolerance, I would have died a long time ago, and my lord's kindness will be recreated, how dare we ask for a reward'.

Liu Renyu heard these words and didn't want to talk to them, so he simply ordered: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, let you take it, where is so much nonsense." ”

So these gentlemen stopped, and they gave a total of 1,500 taels of silver.

Liu Renyu got the 1,500 taels of silver, plus the 2,500 taels he earned on hand, and the 2,000 taels of silver seized by the thieves a few days ago, a total of 6,000 taels of silver.

He planned to use the money to buy grain from the 'Zhou Ji Rice Shop' in Suide City.

The owner of this Zhou Ji rice shop is called Master Zhou, and he was appointed by Li Zhizhou a few days ago to talk to Liu Renyu about business.

The price offered by Master Zhou is about the same as that of rice fat, which is 3 taels of silver and one stone of unhulled wheat.

The price was reasonable, but Liu Renyu later came up with a brilliant idea to get some discounts, and he proposed to Mr. Zhou to hold a ball game and promote the idea of Zhou Ji Rice Shop in the ball game.

This Master Zhou was very skeptical about the popularity of the ball game at first, so he refused to let go of the discount, so Liu Renyu simply waited for the ball game to be finished and then talked about business with Master Zhou.

When the ball game was over, the ball market was extremely hot, so before Liu Renyu went to talk to Master Zhou about the discount, Master Zhou simply came to the door by himself.

Master Zhou hopes that Liu Renyu can send a few Lang Jun to Zhou Ji Rice Shop to make an advertisement.

He immediately ordered the painters in the barracks to draw the picture of Liu Renjie and other Lang Jun eating with a bowl, and then wrote big characters underneath, 'If you want to be in good health, the rice in Zhou Ji Rice Shop must be missing.' ’

Once these advertising posters were made, they were posted everywhere in Suide City, and in addition, Liu Renyu also sent Liu Renjie and other Langjun to the gate of Zhou Ji Rice Shop to carry out on-site publicity.

Under the vigorous publicity of Liu Renjie and other Lang Jun, it is said that some popular brothels or other popular girls have removed dozens of stones of rice from Zhouji Rice Shop at one time.

This next week, the old man was convinced, and he gave an additional preferential condition of 100 stone of rice, but the price of grain was resolutely unwilling to back down, and Liu Renyu could only cry out in vain.

When Liu Renyu talks to Master Zhou about grain procurement, he has to worry about grain transportation.

In order to transfer so much grain, Liu Renyu specially transported 100 freight horses from Zhenbeibao to Suide City.

After Liu Renyu and Master Zhou finished buying grain, they sent their soldiers to Suide City to get some food.

Two thousand stone of grain, not too much, less is not too much, the soldiers of Jingbian Fort moved for half a day, and the move was finished.

In this way, Liu Renyu saved all the food for the displaced people, and finally could wait for Wang Zishun, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er and other people with peace of mind.

*******************

On the official road from Yan'an to Suide, there is a large group of people dressed as ordinary people stretching for miles, walking in it.

At the front of this procession, four men from northern Shaanxi wrapped in white turbans rode side by side.

As the four of them walked, one of the men said: "Brother Zishun, Brother Shusheng, Brother Ji, Brother Ji, you will go to Suide in a while, and you will meet the general of the Liu family who recruits you." You can write down the temper of this general, which is called killing without blinking, so don't be ostentatious, but be honest. ”

"Brother Wang Zuohang, don't worry, you know Nirvana, this general of the official army is not ordinary, listen to those brothers under our hands who have been officials and soldiers in the past, he is a good man who has killed the northern captives, we admire it tightly, so what about others, it is not easy to say, since Zhang Shusheng has been recruited, he must hold his tail and be an honest man."

Zhang Shusheng had heard of Liu Renyu's name, and he was the first to express his position.

"Brother Shusheng is right, we don't kill officials and rebel for a bite to eat, since he, Lord Liu, can guarantee that we can eat, then he, Lord Liu, is our food and clothing parents, of course Eji San'er will listen to him." Ji San'er also said.

"Prince Eshun has surrendered, and Lord Liu promised us that we can keep the silver money and women we robbed, what else can we say, of course, it is good to listen to Lord Liu." Wang Zishun also couldn't help nodding.

Wang Zuohang saw that several leaders understood things very well, so he smiled and said, "It is very good that several brothers have such knowledge. You must first listen to Lord Liu's words, Lord Liu will be very happy, and then I will definitely deliver the silver that my brother asked me to give to Lord Liu, I believe that Lord Liu will be even happier if he receives your filial piety. ”

Wang Zuojiao paused at first, and then he reminded as if he remembered something: "There is something I want to remind you, when you were a thief in the past, you still committed some sins, and it is considered some sins, so I suggest that you learn from that Lian Po, and carry a thorn on your back to ask for guilt, so that the effect of surrender will definitely be better." ”

When the three leaders heard this, they all frowned, and greatly despised Wang Zuo.

Did you kill less than us before you fucking surrendered, and now that you surrendered first, you came to teach us a lesson, why are you, in fact, you are a fucking traitor in the thief world, what are you angry?

But the words in my heart can only be muttered in my heart, and these three leaders are all saying on the surface that they will correct their mistakes and be new people.

Wang Zuohang listened to the words of several leaders and nodded again and again.

Then the men didn't speak again, they just hurried away.

When the team was about to march to Suide City, something suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing such things, Wang Zuohang's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and the other three leaders were shocked, their faces changed color together, and even sweat flowed out on this cold day.

What frightened the chiefs so much? It is Liu Renyu's Jingguan built by the heads of more than 600 thieves such as Miao Mei and Tang Lichen.

In this cold day, these heads on the Beijing Temple have all turned dark blue, and because of the cold, they have been frozen together, and the expressions of these frozen heads are different, or sad, or angry, or numb, some have open eyes, some have closed their eyes, some have not closed their eyes, some have their mouths open, and some have closed their mouths to look very eerie.

At this time, Sun Wuxi, who had been standing near the left side of Jingguan and waiting to surrender to the thieves, looked at the faces of the leaders in front of him, first smiled, and then asked loudly with his head held high: "We are Sun Wuxian, the personal guard cavalry under Lord Liu, who of you is Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, and Wang Zishun?" ”

Wang Zuohang saw that Sun Wuxian was asking questions, so he first turned over and dismounted, and then reminded the leaders repeatedly: "Sun Ye asked you something, why don't you get off the horse and reply quickly." ”

Several leaders listened to Wang Zuohang's reminder, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and replied respectfully to Sun Wuxian: "The villain is Wang Zishun (Ji San'er, Zhang Shusheng). ”

"Well," Sun Wuxian first agreed, and then said: "My lord said, since you have been recruited, you must hand over the weapons you used before, I came to bring a few carts this time, you call your own men, and you yourself, all put the weapons on the cart." ”

"This is as it should be, as it should be." The leaders agreed, and each went to beckon his men to hand over their weapons.

When the leaders were ordered, they handed over their swords, guns, bows, hoes, sickles, and five carts to fill them.

Sun Wuxian supervised the entire process of handing over weapons, and then said to Zhang Shusheng, Wang Zishun, Ji San'er and others: "Then bring someone with me, your lord is waiting for you." ”

After Sun Wuxian finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked straight in the direction of his military camp.

Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun and others followed Wang Zuohang's suggestion, took off their upper clothes, tied a thorn on their backs, and then they didn't dare to ride horses, so they asked everyone else under them to dismount and follow Sun Wuxian on foot.

A group of thieves followed Sun Wuxian for a while, and saw a group of officers and soldiers standing in front of them.

This queue is in the military formation, and the officers and soldiers who are waiting for the battle are naturally Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo's department.

Since he was going to meet with the thieves who surrendered today, Liu Renyu thought deeply about what the scene should be when he met as a child.

He thought that Wang Zishun and other thieves had been in turmoil for a long time, and he had some habits of bandits, and he was afraid of power but not virtue, so he ordered his own soldiers, plus the 200 cavalry under Liu Wuguo's department, and the 400 foot soldiers who had recently arrived, all dressed in military uniforms and lined up in military formation, so as to deter the thieves and make them realize the power of the Great Tomorrow soldiers, so that they could be honest.

And Ji San'er, Zhang Shusheng, Wang Zishun and others saw that the military formation of the official army was very strict and murderous, and for a while, in addition to lamenting the military appearance of the official army, they suddenly felt a little worried that the official army would rebel and want to surrender.

After all, the officers and soldiers had already collected their weapons, and if the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked and killed them at this time, they would be all finished.

Since these leaders have the idea of killing and surrendering the official army in their hearts, they can't help but be slow when they walk, and their speed is not much faster than that of a snail crawling.

They were afraid that they would not be able to run away when they were chasing and killing, and that they would not be able to run away when they were chasing and killing, and that the officers and soldiers would not have the intention of killing and surrendering, and they would also chase and kill them because of a misunderstanding.

Liu Renyu saw the suspicious looks on the faces of those thieves, as well as the dilemma and the look of being at a loss, knowing that they were suspicious of their intentions in setting up a military formation.

So he showed a slight smile, and said loudly: "You don't have to worry, since I have recruited you, how can I harm you again, the military formation is just to let you know the power of the imperial court, if you dare to be a traitor again, my soldiers will definitely kill you, can you remember?" ”

It turned out to be to show the might of the soldiers!

When several leaders heard this explanation, their hearts were relieved at first, and then they quickly knelt on the ground, and replied loudly: "Lord Liu, the villain and the others had no food to eat before, and they dared to rebel in order to survive. ”

These leaders knelt on the ground and set an example, and the other homeless people did the same, kneeling on the ground, first saying something to plead guilty, and then saying something like 'If you rebel again, you will cut off your children and grandchildren, and if you thunder five times in the sky, you will not die well'.

"That's very good," Liu Renyu nodded his head when he saw that the thieves at least looked like they had changed their ways, and then he said to the three men standing at the front of the thieves in front of him: "Ah, by the way, the three of you are the leaders, isn't it Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er, Wang Zishun, right?" ”

Seeing Liu Renyu's question, Wang Zishun and the others hurriedly nodded and replied: "The villain is none other than Wang Zishun (Zhang Shusheng, Ji San'er)." ”

"Well," Liu Renyu nodded first, and then said: "You really have a heart, you know that you have caused a lot of killings, and you actually learned from the ancients, and came to a guilty plea, which is a bit interesting." ”

Liu Renyu saw that the three men in front of him were so cold that they were actually naked, and looking at their appearance, they didn't seem to feel very cold, so he couldn't help but feel that the body of the ancient people was good.

Wang Zishun and the other three saw that Wang Zuo's guidance was very useful, and they were all secretly happy in their hearts, but their faces were full of compassion, and they replied: "We used to be forced to do a lot of wrong things, but now that we have been recruited by you, we naturally have to change our minds and be new people." ”

Liu Renyu heard these words, first nodded, and then said: "You are very sincere in surrendering, I also know your intentions, you have worked hard from afar, let's go to the designated area to rest, we will return to Yulin tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the villain and others know." Wang Zishun and the other three nodded, and under the gaze of more than a thousand elite officers and soldiers, according to the guidance of the miscellaneous servants sent by Liu Renyu, they entered the designated camp and stationed themselves.
