The next half month was the busiest half month after Wang Chong's crossing.

If you join Jinfan, you can enjoy the treatment of the official army, Wang Chong's trick is too ruthless, not to mention those small water thieves who have a hard livelihood and can only survive in the cracks, and even many large water thieves with hundreds or even thousands of people have inevitably arisen in their hearts The idea of joining Jinfan has inevitably arisen, so that in the past half a month, there has been an endless stream of water thieves who have come to join Jinfan.

Although the quality of these water thieves is high and low, the number of Jinfan is really expanding rapidly, and the water thief forces on the Qianshan Islands who came to join under Li Tao's persuasion alone have more than doubled the number of Jinfan.

And when Li Tao came back this time, he not only brought back a large number of people and horses, but also gave Wang Chong a big surprise.

Feng Bao is back again.

It turned out that Feng Bao took Jinfan to fight with Qianshan Island, and after escaping under the escort of his personal guards, he did not return to Chaisang smoothly, but was directly robbed by a water thief force in the northwest of Qianshan Island.

The leader of this water thief force is surnamed Zhou Minghu, who used to be a ranger in the Huiji area, with a hot personality and rampant in the township, and was later wanted by the government for murder, so he gathered a group of dead friends to enter Poyang Lake as bandits.

How do you know that not long after Zhou Hu entered Poyang Lake, his bold and reckless character attracted him a lot of strong enemies, and as a result, he was chased by several forces behind his ass and beaten fatly, with heavy casualties, if Li Tao hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid the whole army would have been wiped out.

In order to repay the grace of saving his life, Zhou Hu automatically petitioned to join Qianshan Island and led the horse to fall for Li Tao, but Li Tao saw Zhou Hu's unwilling to be lonely, and was afraid that Zhou Hu's joining would disturb the peace of Qianshan Island, so he politely refused.

However, Li Tao did not expel Zhou Hu, but let Zhou Hu lead the team to be stationed on a small island in the northwest of Qianshan Island, which also belongs to the sphere of influence of Qianshan Island, Li Tao believes that with his own deterrent, as long as Zhou Hu does not take the initiative to go out to find death, other forces will never dare to easily enter their territory to find Zhou Hu trouble.

Perhaps it was that painful lesson that made Zhou Hu mature a lot, for more than half a year, Zhou Hu has been very low-key, only silently accumulating strength in secret, and the people under his command have grown from dozens of people at the beginning to more than 300 people today.

After intercepting Feng Bao and learning that there was a change in Qianshan Island, Zhou Hu hurriedly led a team to help, but when he arrived at Qianshan Island, he found that the battle had already ended, the gate of the water village was closed, and the island was also replaced with the flag of Jinfan.

Jinfan's murderous name Zhou Hu has long been heard, and now even Li Tao, who has 2,000 men and horses under his command, has been defeated under Jinfan, how can he fight Jinfan with only 300 men and horses under his command?

Zhou Hu was in a dilemma for a while, but reason told him that he was hitting a stone with an egg, and retreated, but he felt ashamed of Li Tao's life-saving grace.

And just when Zhou Hu was struggling in his heart, Feng Bao's personal guard, who saw through Zhou Hu's thoughts, suddenly saw a needle, saying that as long as Zhou Hu could safely send Feng Bao back to Chaisang, the Feng family would do their best to support Zhou Hu to exterminate Jinfan in order to fulfill his loyalty.

Zhou Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led the team to evacuate Qianshan Island.

Feng Bao's personal guard proposed to let Zhou Hu lead the team to personally escort Feng Bao back to Chaisang, but Zhou Hu rejected it.

Are you kidding? Going to Chaisang? Only a fool would do a stupid thing that throws himself into the net, right?

So, on the one hand, Zhou Hu contacted the Feng family and asked them to quickly transport materials in exchange for Feng Bao's life, and on the other hand, he asked people to closely monitor Jinfan's every move.

Feng Bao was very happy, because he was finally out of the tiger's mouth, you know, Zhou Hu was much better to him than Wang Chong.

In Jinfan, Feng Bao felt like a prisoner in custody, without any freedom at all, but on Zhou Hu's boat, he was more like a distinguished guest, not only was everyone polite to him, but he was also entertained with big fish and meat at every meal.

"Hmph, Wang Chong, Gan Ning, when I return to Chaisang, I will pay back the shame you have given me, ten times and a hundred times!" Feng Bao's mind had already begun to imagine the scene of Wang Chong Ganning kneeling at his feet and begging bitterly.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, with the arrival of Li Tao, Feng Bao, who was still in high spirits a moment ago and was bent on finding Wang Chong for revenge, immediately fell into endless panic again.

Qianshan Island.

Wang Chong looked at Feng Bao, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and sneered: "Feng Gongzi is very capable, but you shouldn't have expected that we would meet again so soon!" ”

Wang Chong's yin and yang weird tone directly frightened the timid Feng Bao into urine, and while kowtowing, he kept crying: "Leader Wang's life, Qian...... Don't kill me, everything, it's ...... It's all these minions making their own decisions, and the little ones didn't even think about running away! ”

Hearing Feng Bao's words, the ten guards who were loyal to the Feng family couldn't help but have mixed emotions in their eyes when they looked at Feng Bao, including loss, resentment, despair, and even more incredulity.

He and others didn't care about life and death to save Feng Bao, but in the blink of an eye, Feng Bao, who only wanted to live, put all the blame on them, how could it not be indignant?

"Come on, pull out all these minions of the Feng family and cut them down, I hope you don't follow the wrong master again in the next life, as for this guy......"

Wang Chong said and glanced at Feng Bao, who was wetting the floor with urine, and said, "Cut off one of his ears and send it to Feng Yan, and warn Feng Yan to prepare materials honestly, don't do any tricks, otherwise...... The next time it will be his son's head on his desk! ”

"Huh? No...... Don't, don't cut off my ears! ”

The infinitely spreading fear made Feng Bao fall into madness, but the ten Feng family guards who were dragged out by the Jinfan soldiers just watched all this coldly, and did not stand up for their young master anymore, obviously despairing of this uncompetitive guy.

"Hey, come here, little bunny!"

Ren Jiang took out the dagger on his waist, first slapped Feng Bao's fan, and his nose bleeded, and then stepped on Feng Bao's head with one foot and cut it off with a knife.

"Ah!!h With a heart-rending scream, Feng Bao rolled his eyes, and he fainted directly, and he didn't know whether he was stunned by pain or frightened.

"Take it down, don't let him die!" Wang Chong waved his hand impatiently, he was so disgusted by Feng Bao that he couldn't do it, if it weren't for the other party's usefulness, Wang Chong would have been cut with a knife, out of sight.

――――――――

The rapid growth of personnel made Wang Chong's control over Jinfan weaker and weaker, and in desperation, Wang Chong had to place the remaining more than 300 old Jinfan into various armies as grassroots generals.

But even so, Wang Chong, who is still busy with endless problems, is anxious.

There are those who do not obey military orders and do not practice on time; quarrels and quarrels have evolved into brawls; There are also those who infiltrate the island and harass the people.

In short, the mixed team of good and bad makes Wang Chong not know how many times he loses his temper a day.

"Hey, I'm really a merciful lord when Wang Chong!"

Enraged, Wang Chong directly found the leaders of the various armies and forcibly issued four military orders.

One: Smell the drum and don't move forward, smell the gold and don't retreat, can't afford to raise the flag, and don't bow down according to the flag, cut!

Two: Those who confuse the public with gossip and disturb the morale of the army will be killed!

Three: Stealing and playing tricks, those who do not obey military orders, behead!

Four: Harass the people, rape and captive, behead!

As soon as this military order came out, Wang Chong pulled out hundreds of black sheep from Jinfan on the same day, the sharp butcher's knife fell mercilessly, and the head hanging high at the gate of the camp was like an invisible mountain pressing on the heart of every Jinfan, so that they no longer dared to act recklessly.

When it comes to doing it, Wang Chong's iron-blooded wrist makes Jinfan's military discipline look new, although complying with these strict military orders is a little unacceptable to the water thieves who are used to being wild in the past, but self-restraint is better than losing a small life, right?

Time flies, the stars change, half a month passes in the blink of an eye, and Poyang Lake, which was originally dominated by large and small forces, has undergone earth-shaking changes with an order from Wang Chong.

After a new round of reshuffle, there are only two forces left in Poyang Lake today.

Among them, the number of Jinfan's fighters has expanded to 5,000, which can be described as a strong army.

The other force is the water thief alliance dominated by Gohei, and the number of people is still above Jinfan.

Gou Ping is about fifty years old, has been in Poyang Lake for more than ten years, is the strongest water thieves in Poyang Lake, there are 3,000 direct people, plus unwilling to succumb to Wang Chong's strong more than a dozen water thieves to join, so that Gou Ping's people and horses suddenly swelled to an unprecedented 8,000.
