Laughed with Xu Dumu for a while, pulled some hay at the foot of the tree, and when it got dark, he fell asleep at the foot of the tree.

The moth thieves have long been accustomed to this kind of precarious days, although they sleep in the wild and the cold wind is biting, everything is still normal. As in the past, it didn't take long for the sound to be heard everywhere in the dark, and if you listened carefully, most of them were the voices of men and women, some women were cursing, some were choking and wailing, but it did not affect the sleep of others at all, and after a while, the snoring under the tree gradually rose.

Early the next morning, Deng Ji first went to Captain Tian to ask for blade weapons, Tian Mazi would not make it difficult, Yongqiu after the war converged the blades still in stock, he gave eight spears and five steel knives.

Most of the sturdy people in a tun are about 70 people, and this bit of weapons is obviously far from being armed, but Captain Tian's family is not much, and the difference is to be made up by the new tun chiefs themselves in the future, and as for the food, they will come to collect it when they have enough people.

The good things have long been divided, and the quality of these weapons stocks is not good, but they are much stronger than the hoes and wooden sticks in the hands of most Yongqiu people.

If he really recruited soldiers according to Deng Ji's idea, he was afraid that there would be more of these weapons, and he would not tell the truth, so he asked the two captains to help him carry the weapons to Xu Dumutun, took two spears himself, and went to Yongqiu to find the Fang Meng yesterday among the people.

These Yongqiu people have not yet been able to integrate into the Yellow Turban team, there are two guards to monitor on weekdays, and if they run away to make trouble, they will only be killed, and their daily food is only half of that of the Yellow Turbans, and they are all so hungry that their whole body is soft and their eyes are green.

After asking a few Yongqiu people about the whereabouts of Fang Meng, some of them trembled and stretched out their fingers, but behind the dense shade of the trees, there was still a faint sound of scolding.

Deng Ji walked in according to the sound, but saw a boy tied to an elm tree, about ten years old, his eyes were like spitting fire, he was scolding loudly, and there were a large pile of thick leaves on the ground, which should be the branches and leaves left by yesterday's logging, which were shaking constantly, and there were women sobbing and moaning and men panting roughly.

Along the way, this kind of thing has been seen too much, but these Yongqiu people have just started to experience, Deng Ji smiled, picked up a piece of dry ground and sat down at will, and then looked at the child tied to the tree, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but two long tear stains on his face, his face was hideous, and he struggled hard while scolding angrily, and several places on his body that were strangled by the rope had coagulated purple and black bloodstains, which should be because he had been scolding for a long time, his mouth was cracked, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Deng Ji sat across from him, and the boy looked at it and ignored it, but he also stopped cursing for a moment and closed his eyes in pain.

"That's right," Hearing that the child finally stopped speaking, Fang Meng's rough panting voice came from the pile of leaves: "With Lao Tzu's ability, the yellow turban thief must at least be given a long time, and it will not be difficult to mix a team rate and a tun commander in the future, and you and your mother will not suffer a loss if you follow Lao Tzu, besides, you have a good body of flesh and skin, and those moth thieves are cheaper, it is better to be cheap Lao Tzu!" ”

Most of the people in Yongqiu are so hungry that they don't have much strength, but this thin black man can still abuse women, and his words also make Deng Ji laugh, but the branches and leaves on the ground are still shaking, thinking that he is not finished yet, so it is not good to disturb him.

After a long while, Fang Meng said comfortably, "Oh! There was a long sound, and then there was a "soo" sound in the leaves, presumably dressing.

When Fang Meng withdrew, who was still stained with leaves on his body, he saw the young tun chief sitting on the ground, and he was naturally a little frightened, Deng Ji smiled and said: "It's okay, this is what you said yesterday about the family members?" ”

The shame of being knocked out flashed, but fortunately, Fang Meng's face was not too conspicuous, and he quickly adjusted his mentality: "Exactly, I have to take them into the tun!" ”

The kid who was tied up was very strong, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and scolded angrily: "Your grandfather wants you to take this thief!" ”

Deng Ji smiled "haha" and said: "Come slowly, come slowly, Lao Tzu is not here to recruit any chiefs, only to recruit soldiers, but it is not easy to be Lao Tzu's pawn!" ”

"How?" Seeing that Deng Ji didn't blame the "family members" he was looking for on a temporary basis, Fang Meng's heart fell to the ground with a stone, and he didn't care about the hard-mouthed child, thinking that as long as he showed his hands, it would be strange that this young tun chief was not in a hurry to give a chief, and he should be a captain at worst, but then he was a little illiterate.

Deng Ji threw a spear and stood up: "If you can beat Lao Tzu, you are Lao Tzu's pawn!" ”

As soon as Fang Meng received the gun in his hand, Deng Ji's eyes suddenly narrowed, this guy's hands were very calm, and he looked like a veteran with a posture of holding the gun.

Don't let yourself think too much, the young man shook a shot, and he was already bullied.

After strangling the two combinations, Deng Ji knew that this Fang Meng was really capable, it was estimated that he had been hungry for a long time, and his strength was not as much as his own, but the spear danced very tightly, and he used his skillful unloading force well, so he couldn't attack it at all.

Inevitably rejoicing in his heart, Deng Ji jumped away, waved his hand to signal the end of the competition, pointed to an elm tree the thickness of a bucket next to him and said: "In front of the two armies, no matter how good the spear dances, it is limited, you can stab this tree and see!" ”

Fighting before the battle is inevitably densely populated, and no matter how good the marksmanship is, it is not very useful.

Fang Meng was satisfied with the tun chief who could only be his own son at this age, and his heart was also very proud, his legs were nailed to the ground, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight towards the tree as he said.

Deng Ji stepped forward to take a closer look, the tree was really thick, although the head of the spear failed to penetrate the tree, it was nearly a foot into the wood, and the handle of the gun was not broken.

"Haha, not bad, not bad!" was able to unexpectedly recruit a good player, Deng Ji was absolutely satisfied: "You are Lao Tzu's pawn!" ”

The kidnapped child's eyes were still angry, but he was also frightened by Fang Meng's ability, and when he recruited such a satisfactory pawn, Deng Ji naturally wanted to help him, so he turned his head and asked the child who was not a few years younger than himself: "Why, do you really want to enter my tun with Fang Meng?" ”

Deng Ji asked, and the kid pulled his mouth and said disdainfully: "Don't follow!" ”

"What about the sister-in-law in the back?" After Fang Meng came out, the woman under the branches and leaves didn't make a sound for a long time, it is estimated that she was embarrassed and indignant at this time, Deng Ji persuaded: "Follow a capable man, he can at least protect you from being fingered by other men in the chaotic army, and you can eat more, and it is good for you child!" ”

"That's it," said a woman choking in the pile of leaves: "The little woman is a miserable person, and we are following him!" ”

Fang Meng was overjoyed, and Deng Ji sighed: "In this world, maybe your life is not the most bitter!" ”

When the woman got dressed and came out of the pile of branches and leaves, Fang Meng had already told Deng Ji the identity of the two women, but they were the clansmen of the Yongqiu Xie clan, and the child's name was Xie Yun, and the woman was Mao.

Fang Meng is a member of the Xie family, his identity is like a house slave, even if these two women are members of the Xie clan, they can also be regarded as his master's family, he is a slave, if he is caught by the government or the master's family, it is already a crime to kill the head, this is to make up his mind to go with the moth thieves.

Looking at this Mao family, there is indeed a bit of posture under the unkempt face, and there is still a flush on his face, and when he sees the child who is still tied to the tree, he glared at Fang Meng and said angrily: "Don't you take my son down?" ”

Fang Meng went to the tree to loosen the tie, Xie Yun was free, kicked Fang Meng twice in the leg with all his might, and said to him: "When I grow up, I will kill you!" ”

Although Xie Yun was young, his feet were not lightly kicked on his body, but Fang Meng did not dodge, but he suffered it.

Seeing Fang Meng silently, Xie Yun glared at him angrily for a while before plunging into Mao's arms with red eyes.

Seeing that his son was strangled in a few places, Mao hugged him and felt distressed, Deng Ji took out a small bag of wound medicine wrapped in lotus leaves from his body and handed it to Mao: "Put it on him, and you will be able to scar in less than two days!" ”

When Fang Meng's "family" came out from behind the shade, Deng Ji stood in the Yongqiu people and shouted loudly: "Recruit soldiers, I have no limit on food, and the food is enough!" ”

This Yellow Turban Army does not have much food, each tun is limited to one stone of food per day (Note 1), the soldiers can receive one pound of food per day (Note 2), the old and weak women and children are halved, only eight taels, and the Yongqiu people are halved, but it is better than nothing.

There have been four tun chiefs who have come to recruit soldiers before, and the hungry and panicked Yongqiu people still take care of the crime of being thieves, so they naturally actively participated, but they didn't listen to the tun chief dare to speak to make the soldiers full, this time they came to be generous, hearing Deng Ji's shouting, the Yongqiu people immediately flocked up.

"General, as long as you are full, the villain has strength!"

"Little adult, I don't have any family members, take me!"

"Give it to you, do you want to?"

They came fiercely, Deng Ji was startled, hurriedly separated with a spear, and shouted: "Come one by one, Lao Tzu's pawn, but it's not so easy to be!" ”

Fang Meng also came up to help stop people, Deng Ji jumped on a stone and stood up, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu's rules for recruiting soldiers are simple, no matter who you are, as long as you can beat Lao Tzu!" ”

Although Deng Ji is strong, the immaturity on his face betrays his real age, but he is only half an old child, hearing him say this, the Yongqiu people estimate that it should not be difficult, if he really keeps his promise to let him eat enough is a matter of pie in the world, the Yongqiu people are naturally happy, and they are all rushing out to fight first.

Seeing that the scene was chaotic, Deng Ji remembered to let them line up and come one by one according to the order.

The Yongqiu people made such a big commotion here, which naturally attracted the attention of the yellow turbans, but the soldiers still had to build rafts, so they didn't dare to delay the time to come over to see the excitement, and those tun commanders and soldiers would not come over to join in the fun.

Except for the people who came to watch during the competition with Xu Duyan yesterday, the people of Yongqiu really didn't take this young man who hadn't grown up yet, and they were talking to each other about whether this little tun chief would keep his promise, and some people were worried that the improvised weapon in their hands would hurt the young man and couldn't afford to eat it.

After the spear in Deng Ji's hand overturned the three of them in a row, the discussion gradually became quieter.

Men in the Han Dynasty began military service at the age of twenty-three for a period of two years, and if the war was needed in the future, they had to be conscripted into the army at any time.

Note 1: One stone (dan to sound) is one mu (in some places it is ten acres), and it is also one hundred and twenty catties and ten buckets, which is the area, weight, and volume are universal, and the weight here is one hundred and twenty catties.

Note 2: Han weighs only about 225 grams per catty, and it weighs half a catty now, 16 taels per catty, and about 14 grams per tael.
