With a 'plop', one of the captives knelt down: "I am willing to surrender!" ”

"Good!" Bai Lijian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then who are you reporting?" ”

"My lord, I am truly willing to surrender, but I can't do anything to betray my friends! Please let us live! ”

"That's not going to work!" Bai Lijian shook his head and said, "This is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

Seeing that Bai Lijian refused the captive's request, the rest of the captives also looked dead, and many people had a look of struggle on their faces. Su Heluo on the side had an ugly face, and he wanted to speak but was gagged, so he could only keep glaring at the group of subordinates.

"You can report him!" Bai Lijian suddenly pointed at Su and Luo Dao, who were tied up with five flowers.

The expression on Su Heluo's face froze instantly, and those prisoners were also stunned. These captives, who had been staunch supporters of Su Holuo, were now asking them to report their masters, which was difficult for them to accept for a while.

Now there are only two choices before them, one is to betray their friends, and the other is to betray their masters. Either way, it's not that easy. No matter which one they choose, they will have no other way out in the future, but to stand firmly on the side of Bailijian.

These captives were all excellent cavalrymen, how could Bailijian let them waste themselves in such a daily hard toil. As long as you can subdue these people and make them firmly supporters.

In the face of Bai Lijian's way out, it was like a hole in the embankment, and the desire to survive was like a flood gushing out, and immediately three or four captives jumped out to report Su and Luo's ugly deeds. From murder and arson to snatching wives and daughters, from deception to extortion, Su Heluo is like a helpless woman, who has been wiped out by this group of his staunchest supporters.

Bai Lijian saw despair and helplessness in Su Heluo's eyes, which was the most serious damage to his spirit. If nothing else, this person is basically dead.

Bai Lijian was no longer interested in watching the next scene, and announced on the spot that he would cut off the heads of a few diehards who were slow to react and refused to report, and the rest were exonerated and gave each of them a cake and a piece of meat as a reward.

Solving a major problem in his heart, Bai Lijian's heart suddenly relaxed, but at the moment, Bai Lijian could not be allowed to relax in the slightest. Killed a flying feather village, and there is a tiger's eye next to it, so the construction of the base camp, Bailijian does not dare to slack off.

After last night's sneak attack, the construction of the walled gate was put in the first place. All kinds of freshly mined stone and timber were prioritized for the construction of the walled gates. In just one morning, the originally humble Zhaimen has become large-scale.

Much of the credit for this goes to the rescued Han Chinese slaves. Although they were all peasants, after all kinds of labor, they had no pressure to build this kind of walled gate, which was much simpler than the city wall. If time and materials permitted, they could even build a wall to come out. Of course, for the current stockade, there is no need for this at all.

The construction of the walled gate can only protect for a while, it is always too passive, and after a long time, it will wear down the will of these horse bandits, which is not the result that Bailijian wants.

"Sir, the problem of prisoners is almost solved, but our army is still too small in number. Once we don't collect the night and attack in a big way, we can't resist it at all. Standing on a high ground, Bailijian said to Liu Jing worriedly.

The strength of not collecting at night is still too huge for the current Bailijian. At full capacity, there were less than sixty soldiers in the entire stockade, and the rest were unstable captives. Although they have all been trained to be more obedient now, Bai Lijian has never dared to be careless until he has fully controlled these people.

It is imperative to expand the troops, but Bailijian has always had a lot of hesitation, which Liu Jing also sees in his eyes and is anxious in his heart.

"This matter is not urgent, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" Liu Jing said in a deep voice. The situation is not yet out of control, and it would be a great threat to all of us to hastily weaponize the captives who have not yet been secured.

Bai Lijian also knew Liu Jing's caution: "What Mr. said is true, but I have an idea, and I hope Mr. will help you take a closer look." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"Now we have less than fifty horse bandits under our control, and this is the strongest force in our hands. The rest of the people are all captives, and their loyalty is unbelievable, but they are not part of the same tribe, and there is a natural estrangement, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it. We can select some of the captives from different factions to form a personal guard and conduct intensive training, so that in the event of a war, they can be pulled out and put on top immediately. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Jing nodded in agreement: "Your idea is good, I think it is feasible, but in terms of numbers, you have to control it a little." ”

"How much does the gentleman think is appropriate?"

"Judging from our current strength, I think it's better to have twenty people for the time being."

"Twenty? Will it be a little less? ”

"Although we are in danger now, we are not completely in a desperate situation, although twenty people are a little less, but the victory is in our control. Besides, according to my thoughts, this pro-guard should be our real main force in the future. To be honest, I'm not too comfortable with those bandits. ”

"Sir's right. Those horse bandits are a sharp blade for us, and if they are used well, they will be of great help to us, but if they are not used well, they will hurt ourselves. Therefore, we need a sheath to restrain the edge of this group of horse bandits, and this pro-guard is the best sheath. ”

"I'm relieved that you can think so."

"Today I will select some suitable people, as for the training of the pro-guards, I can only trouble Mr."

"You kid, it's going to make people call, and the burden on my body now is not light!" Liu Jing scolded with an angry smile.

Although Bai Lijian always left things to Liu Jing to do, Liu Jing was not angry at all, this feeling of being trusted and valued was something Liu Jing had never experienced before.

"Forgive me, sir, now we are a start-up after all, and there are too few capable people. Sir, this is also a capable person who works hard! Bai Lijian arched his hand at Liu Jing and smiled.

"Get out of the way, you left everything to me, why are you going?"

"Of course I have more important things to do." Bai Lijian smiled mysteriously and turned to leave.
