"You asked Ben to co-opt the bandits? Elder Wang, is this joke a little too big? Li Congjing never expected that Wang Buqi's so-called method of recruiting soldiers was to ask him to recruit the nearby bandits into the army, "Although the population has dropped sharply nowadays, it is difficult to find good families who are willing to join the army, and some rogue children and outlaws are recruited in various places, but it is unheard of to recruit bandits in the formation." ”

"The general looks down on the mountain and the strong?" Wang Buqi squinted his eyes, his expression was very unhappy, "The general is going to recruit a thousand good families, but the lower officials can't do it." The general chooses a pawn, not only to be an honest person in the countryside, but also to be quite bold and spiritual. This is difficult to find in peaceful and prosperous times, let alone troubled times. In this case, in the matter of recruiting troops, the general asked Gao Ming, and the officials were not in a way. ”

Wang Buqi said extremely hard, and after speaking, he stood aside, raised the arrogant chin of a scholar, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"......" Li Congjing didn't think about the current situation, but the Hundred Battles Army was the foundation of his own troubled times, and it was inevitable that he was very demanding. ”

Wang Buqi's eyes raised a slit, and said lightly: "Have you heard of the general recently, Immortal Mountain?" ”

"Immortal Mountain?" Li Congjing couldn't hold back a smile at this name, "What kind of bandit is that?" ”

"Great bandits." Wang Buqi said, it is hard to imagine that he, a Confucian student, would face a group of bandits so squarely, "There are about two or three hundred bandits in Shenxian Mountain, not the largest number of bandits in Xiangzhou, but their disciples are all brave and unstoppable. Not only that, these bandits are quite familiar with the methods of military warfare, and their people are organized by soldiers, and once they go down the mountain, they will advance and retreat with evidence, just like the elite wind. ”

After all, Li Congjing couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "What kind of elite wind, in front of the regular army, no matter how powerful the bandits are, they are just a rabble." ”

"The general is confused!" Wang Buqi exhaled two rough breaths from his nostrils, and was furious, and even taught Li Congjing a lesson, "Doesn't the general hear, in the past, the slaves raised troops to fight against the Wuhu, and half of them relied on the mountain and field rebels, that is, the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the army of Wagangzhai, most of which also started from recklessness, and its combat power is known to the world." How can the general underestimate the heroes of the green forest? ”

Li Congjing was also a little helpless to this old and temperamental scholar, he naturally couldn't forcibly scold Wang Buqi, that kind of qi was too narrow, and he was not angry, and even felt that Wang Buqi was a lot older, this demeanor was quite cute, so he said: "Okay, okay, then Wang Lao continued." ”

Wang Buqi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, and then continued: "If the sheep are led by wolves, their power cannot be underestimated, and besides, they are still fierce tigers leading wolves, and the heroes of the Immortal Mountain, the reason why they are brave depends on their bandits. The great master of the fairy mountain, the people on the road are called the cold fairy, this hero inside and outside Xiangzhou, who doesn't admire this name when he hears it? ”

"Han Fairy, this name is too feminine." Li Congjing couldn't help but comment.

"It's not feminine, it's this cold fairy, and it's a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go!" Li Congjing's attitude made Wang Buqi indignant when he succeeded to the throne.

"Woman?" Li Congjing held his forehead with his hand, he couldn't bear to continue listening, and he was now wondering if this Wang Buqi was making fun of him, or using this to shirk the responsibility for his poor recruitment. Because what he said, in the eyes of Li Congjing from the twenty-first world, is simply nonsense. Obviously, there will never be such an existence in the afterlife.

Li Congjing planned to let Wang Buqi retreat, and then think of a way to go to a remote township to abduct and deceive some good people, and he could still get some people. After all, the people in remote places are not well fed and warm, and they are not clear about the general trend of the world, as long as he promises a lot of profits, he may not be able to summon people. Moreover, these people are simple in nature, but they are often brave, which is the right choice for soldiers. However, it is unknown how many can be recruited and how many places will be visited.

"All the commanders and envoys, and their subordinates have something to report." Zhang Xiaowu ran in, held a letter in his hand, whispered a few words to Li Congjing, and handed the letter to him.

Li Congjing's face was solemn, he took the letter and opened it, and after a quick glance, his expression immediately became wonderful.

"What about the messenger?" Li Congjing asked in a deep voice.

"Put down the letter and left, Li Dutou personally followed, for fear of startling the snake, he didn't dare to act, and waited for the commander to give the order." Zhang Xiaowu said.

An hour ago, when the scouts of the Hundred Battles Army were on a routine patrol outside, they found two suspicious figures, because the other party was vigorous and hid their horses outside the city, and the scouts thought it was a meticulous work, so they reported the matter to Li Rong. Li Rong then set off to find the two men in front of the largest business in the city, put down the letter, and without saying a word, turned around and left. Li Rong followed up and got the letter, but he didn't think about the content of the letter, which shocked him and immediately reported it to Li Congjing.

In fact, this letter is a blackmail letter, not for others, but for Li Congjing. The content of the letter is nothing more than saying that the hostage is in hand, how much property should he prepare, when and where to put it, and if he dares to report to the official, he will immediately tear up the ticket.

"General, it's true that the Immortal Mountain thief was a thief before, but what will happen in the future, it's not the general who has the final say? As long as the drill is proper and the guidance is correct, why can't the thief soldiers become elite soldiers? General Xiaguanguan's method of training soldiers is quite clever, and it is only between the backhand to tame this group of bandits, and the heroes in the mountains and fields are brave, and it is much easier to become an elite than to let a good family become an elite. Wang Buqi was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaowu interrupting his conversation with Li Congjing, which ended with Li Congjing and Zhang Xiaowu's conversation, he glared at Zhang Xiaowu, and immediately couldn't wait to lobby Li Congjing again.

Li Congjing, who was thinking about something, was stunned, and roughly recalled Wang Buqi's words, and immediately agreed, "Elder Wang is right. The envoy agreed. This envoy will send troops to the Immortal Mountain! ”

After Li Congjing finished speaking, he strode out of the door.

"The general is wise!" Wang Buqi was very relieved, and he only felt that his son could be taught, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased him out, "General, recruit the heroes of the Immortal Mountain, why do you want to send troops?" ”

The brothers I invited from my hometown, but they are all my future arms, and they all let this group of bandits kidnap the tickets, do you say I will send troops? Li Congjing said in his heart.

"Order Li Shaocheng, gather the people of the headquarters, bring enough rations for three days, and follow the envoy into the mountains to suppress the bandits!" Li Congjing went out and drank.

"General!" Wang Buqi is in a hurry.

Fairy Mountain.

Zhang Ziyun and the others were left in a simple room, although they were not helped, but the activity space was limited to this room, and there were dozens of minions guarding outside.

Zhang Ziyun stared at Mo Li and Meng Ping.

Mo Li and Meng Ping were stared at by him, so they had to raise their hands in surrender, and said helplessly: "Ziyun, if you have anything to say, why do you keep staring at the two of us?" You've been staring at us for half an hour. ”

"You are not righteous enough, and it makes me very unhappy." Zhang Ziyun said very seriously.

"How are we not righteous enough?" Meng Ping looked innocent.

"You can't hide it from me." Zhang Ziyun exhaled angrily, "You have long made up your mind to be tied up by this group of bandits, but you didn't tell me. ”

"How can this be? Ziyun, you misunderstood us, who has nothing to do to be tied up by bandits? Meng Ping quibbled.

Zhang Ziyun was very hurt, "You despise my wisdom so much, it makes me very sad. You see, you and I are not on the same level of wisdom. ”

"Zhang Ziyun!" Meng Ping was about to get angry immediately.

"That's it, that's it!" Mo Li opened the folding fan, shook it gently, and said to Zhang Ziyun in a serious tone: "I won't tell you before I wait, because I am afraid that you will be soft-hearted, you are kind by nature, and you will definitely not be willing to let those four guards die." But if they don't die, how can we sneak into this fairy mountain? ”

"They are all warriors, and they don't deserve to die like this." Zhang Ziyun was a little sad.

"Look, it's true!" Meng Ping shouted.

"You have deprived Childe of four loyal warriors, and what can we bring to Childe by infiltrating this cottage?" Zhang Ziyun collected his emotions, and his reddish eyes forced him to look at Mo Li. It seems that if Mo Liyi doesn't answer well, he will beat this guy for Childe first - even if he is Childe's friend.

"Three hundred elite soldiers." Mo Li shook the folding fan gently, "Is it enough?" ”

Zhang Ziyun was stunned for a moment.

But he reacted quickly, so he asked, "You sneaked in to control this cottage?" ”

"With the four of us, it's enough." Mo Li glanced at the middle-aged man who was sitting silently on the side, confident and confident. When the middle-aged man heard Mo Li's words, he raised his head in surprise, but then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and in just a moment, the evil aura exuded from the body of this taciturn man made people tremble.

"What are your plans?" Zhang Ziyun resumed his stare at Mo Li again, "Sai Zhuge ? ”

"I'm Zhuge Suppressor." The young Mo Li corrected, "In this village, the second leader Zhao Xiangyao has good strength, but Meng Ping is enough to deal with him. The big boss Tao is dying, although she has never seen her make a move, but there is no vain under the fame, and her combat power should be higher than that of Zhao Xiangyao, which requires Brother Peng to take action. ”

Mo Li looked at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man nodded.

"You and me, although the force is not good, but the six arts of the good gentleman are also proficient, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary minions." Mo Li continued, he didn't speak fast, his voice was not loud, he seemed very calm, but there was still a trace of nervousness and excitement in his tone, "As long as the time is ripe, find an opportunity to subdue Zhao Xiangyao and Tao Yaoyao, this immortal mountain will be controlled by us." At that time, outside Li Ge'er Chen Bing Village, we will be in harmony with each other inside and outside, and under the general trend, the Immortal Mountain will be in my urn. ”

"The soldiers are bloodless to subdue three hundred heroes, is this meeting gift worth four lives?" Mo Li asked Zhang Ziyun.

"Count you ruthless!" Zhang Ziyun exclaimed, and then remembered something, "But how did Brother Li know about our plan, and how did he find this Immortal Mountain in just a few days, and how to cooperate with us inside and outside?" ”

"You forgot the ransom letter you sent to Qimen? That's a hidden letter, I've already told Brother Li about the plan here. Mo Li said leisurely, "This letter must have arrived in Brother Li'er's hands." And as long as Brother Li stares at the person who sent the letter, he will naturally be able to find the Immortal Mountain. ”

"Childe is an official soldier, and the thieves can't avoid it, so naturally they don't dare to send the letter to him. How did you get this letter into his hands without the thieves being suspicious? ”

"It's simple. In the past few days, I have said that Brother Li is the largest merchant in Qimen, and after my letter was written, they read it and naturally sent it to the largest merchant store in Qimen. But don't forget, I grew up with Brother Li, I know everything about him, when we talked about governing the army before, Brother Li said more than once that scouts are the eyes of the army, intelligence information is the order of the army, and if he leads the army, he will pay attention to both. Therefore, as long as the thieves get close to Qimen, they will inevitably fall into the sight of Li Ge'er's scouts, and their strange behavior will inevitably attract the attention of the scouts, and the letters they send to merchants will inevitably fall into the hands of Li Ge'er. Mo Li's answer became more and more calm.

"The heart of the son is connected to such a realm, and you are the only one who can't leave. At this point, I'm inferior to you. Zhang Ziyun sighed.

"But if the scouts don't find out, won't everything be over?" At this time, Meng Ping leaned over and asked.

"Huh." Mo Li smiled lightly, "The merchant got such an inexplicable blackmail letter, and he dared not report it?" Businessmen are cautious in nature, especially if they can be the largest merchants in Qimen, they will naturally not have such quality. Moreover, the government and businessmen are inseparable, as the largest merchant in Qimen, they will naturally not have close contacts with the Qimen government. With these two, can the letter not be in the hands of Brother Li? ”
