Chapter 227: The Rebels
"This general is not forcing everyone, if you want to obey the leader of this general's command, please stay first, as for the leader who is unwilling to obey Luo's command, you can leave, and this general will not force it." Luo Cheng's cold tone filled the entire living room, only making everyone feel a chill coming out of their hearts.
"General Luo, it's not that we don't cooperate, it's just that General Luo's order is really difficult to follow." The name of the person who spoke was Chen Feng, and he was the leader with the largest number of troops among the many leaders present.
In the entire living room, he was the most unwilling, after all, no one would be willing to hand over the power in his hands to outsiders without reservation.
"Please atone for your sins, and I'll take my leave." When everyone saw that Luo Cheng didn't answer, several people immediately glanced at each other and hugged their fists to leave.
They have a vague circle of their own. There are even some that have begun to unite, such as Chen Feng, who has gathered several leaders to unite to defend against foreign enemies.
With others taking the lead, especially a group of his allies, they immediately followed him away, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three or five people left in the living room.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Why, aren't you leaving?" Luo Cheng looked at the remaining people in surprise and asked.
"General Hui, we are waiting for the army just to avenge Lord Gongsun, but the Jin State is a behemoth, we are really powerless to resist, and we are like a rebel in the eyes of the Jin State, let me ask, can the Jin State send us back?" Among the remaining people, a middle-aged man with a dark face arched his hand.
"Yes, it's not just the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid even the Tang Kingdom can't tolerate us." It was another person sitting next to him who spoke, and his armor was also quite high among the leaders of the rebel army.
His words made the faces of everyone in the living room change, especially the several leaders who were still present, and they all looked at Luo Cheng with an inquiring gaze.
Facing everyone's gaze, Luo Cheng said calmly: "You don't have to look at General Ben like this, I can guarantee with my life, I will never do such a thing." ”
Then Luo Cheng turned his gaze to the man, wanting to hear his explanation.
"Hey, hey." The man smiled at first, and then didn't care about everyone's eyes, and said: "The general acts above board, maybe he won't do such evil things, but what if the Tang State occupies Youzhou, or if it is said that the Jin State has repelled and taken over Youbeiping, then the Tang King can still tolerate the appearance of these weapons?" ”
Hearing his words, everyone's faces changed a little, but fortunately, they were already planning to join the Tang Kingdom, so their speculation about this person was automatically ignored.
"I am willing to take refuge in the Tang Kingdom, and I also ask the general to accept it." Immediately after the crowd had calmed down a little, the man rose up and bowed.
The faces of several leaders behind him changed slightly, some of them planned to be under Luo Cheng's command temporarily, but after listening to that person's words, their hearts also changed slightly, and now it seems that they only have one way to surrender.
"General Ben asks again, are you really willing to submit to the Tang Kingdom?" Luo Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "If you don't want to, you can still leave now, I won't be unfavorable to you." ”
Ten breaths, still no one moved, they looked at Luo Cheng quietly, waiting for his orders.
"Since you are all willing to take refuge in the Tang Kingdom, the general will not treat you badly, but your soldiers will be disrupted and placed in the army, and I can call the shots and order you to wait for the temporary captain." Luo Cheng saw that they had made up their minds, so he said directly.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, generals at the rank of captain and above need to be personally appointed by Zhang Zai, and now their situation is special, so they can only be in a hurry to obey the power and temporarily appoint them as captains.
Several people didn't know the law of the Tang Dynasty, thinking that it was just a test given to them by Luo Cheng, so they glanced at each other and agreed in unison, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.
"You wait to quickly return to your respective camps, bring your troops with you, and integrate into the army as soon as possible." Since several people accepted the appointment, Luo Cheng no longer spoke politely to them, and directly ordered.
"No." Several people bowed before retreating.
A day later, several people came to the mound with their respective soldiers and horses to accept Luo Cheng's adaptation.
The number of troops in the hands of a few of them is no longer small, there are 6,000 people, although the military quality is equivalent to the average county soldier, but it has become a great surprise for Luo.
Luo Cheng did not disappoint a few people, and the benefits and treatment that a captain should have, there was no difference between them, which also made their hearts settle down.
When the other leaders heard that some of the leaders of the many rebel armies had defected to the Tang State and completely integrated into the Tang army, they were all incredible.
"Hmph, a group of cowards, aren't you afraid that Luo Cheng will treat them as cannon fodder?" After Chen Feng heard this, he snorted coldly, although they did not have anything to do with each other, but their actions still made Chen Feng feel betrayed, but no matter how he listened to it, there was a sourness in his tone.
The other people glanced at each other, did not answer, and were silent, but there was a faint envy in their eyes, the news they received, although they handed over their military power, they were also compensated, and each of them was an official lieutenant.
That's the army of the Tang Kingdom, with regular welfare benefits, unlike them, to put it nicely, they are righteous soldiers, to put it mildly, they are at most a group of rogues.
"Big Chief, or we'll ...... too"
"No way!" Before the man could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Chen Feng.
Defecting to the Tang State, he did not think about it, but he defected to the Tang State and was incorporated into the army, and with the constraints of military regulations, where would he still be chic and free.
Besides, with his ability, when he enters the army, he is at most a captain, with only a thousand people under his command, just like now, he has nearly 10,000 people under him, living an unrestrained life, comfortable and comfortable.
"But since we have joined forces to resist the Jin army, our weapons and equipment are inferior, and we ask the wealthy Tang State for some weapons and armor, they shouldn't refuse." Chen Feng suddenly thought about it, looked at the other people, his face revealed cunning, he had been greedy for Tang Jun's equipment for a long time.
"This ...... I'm afraid he won't agree. Several other people looked at Chen Feng and said with some hesitation.
"Disagree...... Chen Feng whispered, "Then don't blame us for not being able to stop Karasuma's Iron Horse." ”
A hint of sinister calculation flashed in Chen Feng's eyes, and he didn't have a good impression of Tang Guo, he just used them to resist the Jin State army.
A few people were just a team pulled up by force, and when they saw that Chen Feng was powerful, they respected him as the leader, and they had no opinions, and they were also very interested in the equipment of the Tang Army, so when they heard Chen Feng's words, their eyes were also full of heat.
"Everything is arranged by the Great Chief."
