The news that Wei Zeng led people to exterminate Yanlong Village spread throughout the camps in Yushan along with the robbers who were released. The titles of Mobei Flying Eagle and Living Hades have long been spread to Yushan, but many people are skeptical. Now the dangerous Yanlong Village was conquered in one day, which made the robber leaders in the south of Yushan have an irresistible sense of powerlessness.

Most of the robbers in the south of Yushan were Yanbei people, and now they heard that Wei Zeng could not blame the past as long as he returned to the Yanbei Righteous Army, which made many people shake.

"One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts" These are some of the words that Qi Weilun told Wei Zeng, that is, let Wei Zeng crack down on the recalcitrant robbers on the one hand, so that the robbers have no intention of resisting; On the other hand, we should adopt a policy of gentleness towards those who are willing to submit, so as to calm the hearts of the people and prevent some people from taking risks and resisting stubbornly.

Wei Zeng asked Huang Yufei and Yu Chaogui to lead a group of men and horses to patrol those weak camps and force those weak camps to annex. Wei Zeng himself led a large group of men and horses to attack or persuade those big stockades to surrender.

Huang Yufei and Yu Chaogui were naturally invincible, and those small villagers saw that there was a way to live, and they surrendered one after another when the rebels arrived. But although those big villages are afraid, because of their strong strength, they think they can resist for a while, and some of them want to get a higher reward; Some did not believe that Wei Zeng would stay in the mountains for a long time, and planned to resist for a while, and then claim the king and hegemony after Wei Zeng left.

"This is the condition offered by your village owner? Wan Hu Hou! Don't you village owners think it's too much? Wei Zeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of a copycat messenger.

"Now the general occupies the entire Yanbei, and Yanbei has a population of one million, and it is not a big deal to think of ten thousand households. Our owner of the village knows that the general's capture of Yanlong Village was to deceive the people of Yanlong Village. Our village is very strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, as long as we can't hold out, can the general still be able to storm it? The messenger forced his composure.

"There are only a few hundred people in your village, and once you are attached, you will need 10,000 households. I want to agree with you, there are 300 camps at the southern foot of Yushan, I'm afraid ten Yanbei is not enough. My Yanbei Army has always been rewarded for its military merits, and you can see which of these generals around me did not make great contributions when fighting against the Jingnan Army. Want Wanhu Hou? It's very simple, let's kill 10,000 enemy troops! Wei Zeng said coldly.

"So the general doesn't agree? Then there is no need to talk about it anymore. I'll go back and report to the owner of the village, and we'll talk about it when the general agrees to our terms." The messenger said that he was about to leave.

"Come if you want, leave if you want, what is the place where you are the camp of my righteous army?" Wei Zeng said angrily.

"If the two armies fight without slashing, the general can't break the rules." The messenger said tremblingly.

"You are just some robbers, and our army only has one rule for those who resist stubbornly. I have also given you the opportunity to be obedient, but you do not cherish it. Someone came, dragged him out and beheaded him, and then led the crowd to attack the village. Wei Zeng said and ordered his troops to kill and go to the camp.

Seeing that the head of the messenger sent by the owner of the village was thrown into the camp, he immediately ordered people to strictly guard the gate of the village, intending to resist the Yanbei rebels.

Just when Wei Zeng's troops arrived at the gate of the camp, the rear of the camp was full of shouts of killing. Wei Zeng immediately led people to attack back and forth and conquer this village.

It turned out that Wei Zeng learned from Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei that many robbers were released because of the people of Yanlong Village, so they had a fluke heart, thinking that even if they resisted the righteous army, they would not be killed if they surrendered in the future. Therefore, many large villages, although they are afraid of the rebels, are unwilling to surrender.

When Wei Zeng heard this, he was ruthless and wanted to take a village, the reason why he chose this camp was only because Huang Yufei already knew a path to enter the back of the camp.

"General Qiyu, what should we do with these surrendered bandits?" Huang Yu flew to Wei Zeng and asked for instructions after the battle.

"Kill them all, and leave no one behind. I want the rest of the robbers to know that although my righteous army is benevolent, benevolence is not given casually. The benevolence of our army is only given to those who show sincerity. Wei Zeng said with a face like frost.

Huang Yufei's heart froze, and then he obeyed the order.

Many of the big village's detectives were nearby to investigate, and when they saw the tragic situation of the village, they immediately returned to the village to report. So many large stockades lost the heart to resist, and when the rebels arrived, they surrendered one after another.

In this way, the rebels went all the way north according to the news of the inquiry, and no one could stop them wherever they went, and all the camps they encountered were attached. There are more and more rebels. Wei Zeng was worried that there would be chaos if there were too many bandits, so he ordered someone to escort him back to Shifeng City to be adapted. The ranks of the rebels remained between one thousand and two thousand. It's been more than ten days.

"General Qiyu, Commander Yu Chaogui suffered heavy losses in an ambush by bandits in front, Commander Huang has already led people to support, and I ask the general for instructions." A soldier said as he approached from the front.

"Who still dares to resist? Yu Chaogui took two hundred people, and it was enough to deal with the ordinary small village, and there was no big village in front of him, how could he be defeated. Wei Zeng said in surprise.

"It is true that there is no big stockade ahead, but those robbers occupy the mountain pass to ambush our army, and now they are condescending, and our army is not easy to attack, which will lead to a crushing defeat." The visitor replied.

"Okay, I know, I'm going to help." Wei Zeng replied.

Wei Zeng was very surprised, these robbers often heard the news of the arrival of the righteous army, either based on the village, or came to return to Shun, like today, to ambush the righteous army, but also to block the righteous army, really never heard of it.

When Wei Zeng arrived at the front, he saw Yu Chaogui leading people to fight forward, and Huang Yufei was also leading people to help in the battle, and the attack of nearly 400 people was repelled by the rolling stones. There were no more than 100 robbers on the other side, but the organization was extremely effective, and groups of three or five occupied the high ground and attacked everywhere, without any confusion.

Wei Zeng looked at the mountain, only to see a person dressed in civilian clothes, holding a horse in one hand and a teapot in the other, putting the horse on the mountain, and then sitting on the horse range, taking a sip of tea and saying a few words to the surrounding people, calmly defusing the attack of the rebels.

"This guy is kind of funny." Wei Zeng smiled when he saw this.

"General, I'll take someone up the mountain and capture and kill the thief, this thief is really too arrogant." Yu Chaogui was ambushed, and the attack was repulsed, and he said a little angrily. Huang Yufei didn't say anything on the side, only listened to Wei Zeng's dispatch.

"No need, this man is pretending to be a ghost, I want to see what he wants to do?" Wei Zeng waved his hand to stop Yu Chaogui and said.

With more than 100 people, this person repelled the attack of more than 400 people led by Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei, and it seems that he also has some ability. However, Wei Zengsuo led nearly 2,000 people, although most of them were Guishun bandits, but if they swarmed up, they would definitely not be able to stop these 100 people. But this person behaved so calmly, Wei Zeng was curious about what he wanted to do.

"In Xia Wei Zeng, he is the commander of the Yanbei Righteous Army, I don't know what Mr. has to teach here?" Wei Zeng shouted to the other party across the mountain.

"In Xiajiang Luqing, Mr. didn't dare to be, he was just a mountain and wild man. Living in troubled times, with a group of brothers to make a living. I heard the general's name for a long time, and today I saw it and it really deserved its reputation. The other party replied.

"Our army wants to pacify the thieves in Yushan, so why are you blocking our army's way. I see that you have some skills, and you are not like a gangster who kills, why don't you find a stable place to make a living, but you are a robber here. Wei Zeng asked.

"In the troubled times, I can't help myself, and I have no choice but to run here to be a robber, but I have never killed innocents indiscriminately, and I ask the general to see it. I didn't dare to stop the general's army, but I was afraid that the general would generalize about us and the other thieves, so for the sake of the lives of my brothers, I had to wait for the general here to explain the reason for the matter. Jiang Luqing said politely.

"Since you just want to make a living, and you don't want to stop our army, that's even better. Our army has occupied Yanbei and promised half of the tax exemption, if you bring people over and surrender, I can naturally let you live a good life in Yanbei. Wei Zeng said.

"General Guishun is naturally making a wish. I saw that the general had worked very hard all the way, and I happened to prepare a pot of turbid wine and a few side dishes. If the general doesn't dislike it, he might as well come over and have a few drinks. The matter of submission is naturally easy to say. Jiang Luqing replied.

"You can't do it." Wei Zeng arched his hand and said with a smile.

"The general can't go, I think this person is pretending to be a ghost, there must be a conspiracy. The general will be in danger if he goes. Yu Chaogui saw that Wei Zeng was going to the other party's mountain, and hurriedly admonished.

"This man just wants to submit to our army and raise his own worth. They have only a hundred, we have almost two thousand. Unless this person is crazy, he wouldn't do such an unwise thing. Besides, even if they want to harm me, can't I come back at this distance? Wei Zeng said.

"The general, I want to go with you, and I will fight to protect the general's safety." Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei both said.

"No need, these guards around me are enough to keep me safe. You two stay here, and if something happens, you must not throw the army into chaos. Wei Zeng commanded.

After Wei Zeng finished speaking, he walked towards the opponent's mountain range with ten armored guards, and along the way, the opponent's people got out of the way one after another, and did not take the opportunity to attack.

Jiang Luqing had already set down a table of wine and food at this time, standing on the mountain and waiting for Wei Zeng.

"General Wei is so courageous, please drink this glass of water and wine." Jiang Luqing said and handed Wei Zeng a glass of wine, and then drank a glass of himself.

"Okay, say what you want to say now, I've said too much polite words just now, I don't want to listen to those roundabouts anymore." Wei Zeng drank a glass of wine, then threw the glass and said.

Seeing this, Jiang Luqing knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "I heard about the general's pacification of Yanbei early in the morning, and I also wanted to go to take refuge. It's just that there is no way out, and I am afraid of being misunderstood by the general, so I will make this decision. I just want the general to know that Jiang is not a person who does nothing, so he will think of a strategy to block the general's army. All this is also invited to General Haihan. ”

"But after all, you have injured so many people in our army, how should this account be calculated?" Wei Zeng asked.

"I also had to do it as a last resort, I only wanted to repel the general's army, and I didn't commit too many killings, and I also treated the soldiers of your army who were caught, and I didn't mistreat them. Please also ask the general to be clear. Jiang Luqing said a little nervously when he heard this.

"Well, I don't want to pursue the past anymore. Our army is still going north to attack the Yushan bandits, so I will order you to be the advance force. I see that you also have some ability, if you can defeat the thief and make meritorious deeds, I can not blame the past. Otherwise, you are a person who understands, and I won't say more. Wei Zeng said.

"With the general's words, I am relieved. If I can't break the bandits in Yushan and don't wait for the general's words, I will sacrifice my head. Brothers, come and see the general, from now on we will die for the general. Jiang Luqing immediately knelt down and bowed.

When the robbers heard Jiang Luqing's words, they knelt down one after another, expressing their willingness to serve the dogs and horses.
