As soon as Zhang Weixin came up, he did not immediately assign tasks to Gu Anjia, telling him how to make meritorious contributions, but first briefly introduced the situation on his side to let him know who he was doing things for.

Although Zhang Weixin's introduction to the crossing team was simple and concise, Gu Anjia still had a general understanding of his new master, knowing that this was a powerful local snake, and the failure of his own people was doomed. As the saying goes, "strong dragons don't suppress the head snake", not to mention that their group of fleeing rabble is not a strong dragon at all, not even a dragon. And the other party is an out-and-out "earth head snake", or it is more appropriate to call it a "land head dragon". If you can work for these "land dragons" in the future, it is definitely much better than being a homeless person in the mountains or returning to the small Han country to farm.

So, Gu Anjia got up and left his seat, saluted Zhang Weixin again, and first said with a compliment: "The villain and the brothers 'have eyes but don't know Mount Tai', and they dare to come to pick up the tiger whiskers of the seventh master and several other masters, now that I think about it, it's really too much to do." ”

Subsequently, he saw that Zhang Weixin seemed to be very useful for his compliments, and his face was a little proud, so he took the opportunity to say: "The Seventh Master once said just now that as long as the villain can make meritorious contributions, he can spare the villain's life." For this, the villain is grateful. Supposedly, the villain should not have any extravagant expectations. It's just that, Seventh Master, you also know that the villain fled from the Han Kingdom, and before that, he had already eaten the last meal and had not eaten the next meal, and he was not far from starving to death, otherwise he would not dare to offend the noble house.

But if the villain leaves like this, after the villain returns to the mountain, he still has no food or drink, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to survive the first month. In this way, wouldn't it be a disappointing of the kindness of the seventh master and several other masters. Therefore, the villain now has a reluctant request, and I hope that the seventh master and the uncle, the fifth master, and the eighth master can agree. ”

What kind of idea Gu Anjia is playing now, he can completely guess it even if he doesn't say Zhang Weixin, and at the same time, treating this Gu Anjia as the second "Liu Wanbao" has already been decided at the enlarged meeting of the committee. However, in order to be able to let this Gu Anjia serve the team more well, Zhang Weixin can't directly say this kind of thing to him, only through other ways to let him understand the strength of the team, so that he can take the initiative to put forward the request to work for the team in the future. After hearing Gu Anjia's compliments just now, he showed a smug expression that was also intentional, just to lure out Gu Anjia's following words.

Therefore, hearing that Gu Anjia had a "reluctant request" to speak, Zhang Weixin not only did not get angry, but was very satisfied with the other party's "cooperation" with him, and said: "If Leader Gu has any requirements, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”

Gu Anjia shook his head and said: "The villain wants to invite the seventh master to say a favor to the uncle, the fifth master, and the eighth master, if the villain's errand this time is reasonable, and he can get into the eyes of several masters, I hope that the villain can keep the villain under his hands as a small servant, so that the villain will not freeze to death and starve to death in the mountains." ”

Gu Anjia himself proposed to work for the team, which was exactly what Zhang Weixin wanted to hear, naturally there was no reason to refuse, he nodded, so he said sympathetically: "Yes, it is the middle of winter, and there is a lack of food and clothing in the mountains, so it is really inappropriate to let Leader Gu go back to the mountains like this." However, Zhang can't be arbitrary in this matter, and it seems that he is too wronged to let Leader Gu be a servant under a certain subordinate. It's better to go to a few brothers to discuss, listen to the meaning of a few brothers, and then reply to Leader Gu? ”

Hearing Zhang Weixin's relief, and he seemed to value himself quite a lot in his words, which made Gu An's family happy, he thanked Zhang Weixin again and again, and said that as long as he could work under the masters, he Gu Anjia was willing to sell himself as a slave and serve the masters for a lifetime.

Zhang Weixin comforted Gu An's family a few more words, and then walked out of the house. However, he did not really consult with the other committee members. Because this matter had been decided before, his behavior just now was just for Gu An's family to see. Therefore, after taking a few turns outside, it was estimated that the time was almost up, and Zhang Weixin returned to the house.

As soon as Zhang Weixin entered the house, Gu Anjia, who had already sat down, immediately stood up. Although Gu Anjia didn't speak at this time, his expectant eyes already said everything. So, after Zhang Weixin sat down, he first motioned for Gu Anjia to sit down as well, and then said: "Zhang just told Brother Gu's request to several brothers, and explained the reason to them. Several elder brothers felt that what you said was reasonable, and since we had promised to let Brother Gu live, we naturally couldn't watch Brother Gu freeze to death and starve to death in the mountains. Therefore, several elder brothers agreed to Brother Gu's request. ,

Of course, with the talent of the Gu brothers, it is too condescending to be a servant. Although what kind of errand will be given to Brother Gu, it depends on whether Brother Gu's later things are done beautifully or not. However, Zhang can first explain to Brother Gu here, as long as Brother Gu works hard, his position in the future will never be lower than the position of steward. ”

Although Zhang Weixin did not make it clear what position he would give himself, just changing the title from "Gu Leader" to "Gu Brother" had already made Gu An's family overjoyed - although on the surface, "Brother" was not as noble as "Leader", but the degree of closeness was much higher.

Therefore, Gu Anjia hurriedly got up, slammed it to the ground again, and said: "The seventh master calls the villain a 'brother', and the villain really doesn't dare to be a villain. The seventh master and several other masters are willing to take in the villain, which is already a reinvention of Entong. Great kindness, even if the villain is broken, it is difficult to repay one or two, how dare he have any extravagant expectations in terms of identity and status. The villain is still the same sentence, what needs to be done by the villain, although the seventh master commands, the villain will go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up. ”

"Brother Gu is serious." Zhang Weixin personally stepped forward to help Gu Anjia up and said, "Brother Gu, sit down and listen to a detailed explanation of what we have to do next." ”

Later, Zhang Weixin told Gu Anjia about the team's plan to take the captives outside and the refugees in the mountains for their own use. And, explaining to Gu Anjia the reason why the team did this - the team was about to buy a large amount of land, and a large number of tenant farmers were needed to cultivate it. At the same time, a certain number of guards are required to protect the house and land.

Although Gu Anjia didn't quite understand that the ratio of weishenme guards to tenant farmers would be so large, this did not affect his determination to join the crossing team in the slightest. And, in his opinion, convincing these captives and refugees to be used by the team is not an impossible task. Therefore, after listening to Zhang Weixin's request, this guy immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely be able to handle this matter well, and it would be done very beautifully.

Regarding Gu Anjia's statement, although Zhang Weixin felt that there was some boasting in it, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the other party, but encouraged it.

Zhang Weixin's encouragement made Gu Anjia very motivated, and immediately expressed the hope that he could start working immediately so that the problem could be solved in the shortest possible time, so as not to cause any changes to those refugees in the mountains because the people who came down the mountain did not return for a long time.

Zhang Weixin naturally couldn't know about this, and immediately asked Liang Ziyue and Zheng Zhiwei to take Gu An's family to the prisoner's detention place to carry out the first step.

Facts have proved that Gu Anjia's guarantee to Zhang Weixin is by no means self-boasting, this guy is indeed very good at fooling people. When he arrived at the place where the prisoners were being held, he first found out a few of his cronies, and in a few words, he made them submit to the crossing team. Subsequently, he took these cronies to the other captives and lobbied.

This guy took advantage of his position in the minds of the captives, the psychology of the captives who did not want their families to suffer anymore, the various promises he received from Zhang Weixin, and the cooperation and help of his cronies, and by noon, he had already persuaded the vast majority of the captives. For the few captives who did not want to submit, he thought that if they did not submit, then they would have no choice but to die, and their families, friends, and relatives would also be driven away from the local area, and Zuihou would also be threatened with their lives. In the face of such a miserable end, these bandits, who were still fleeing a few days ago, were all panicked, and in the end, none of them insisted on their position of avenging Brother Zhou, and all of them returned to the crossing team with Gu An's family.

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded all his companions who participated in the night attack, Gu Anjia immediately came to Zhang Weixin to repay his merits. From Gu An's family receiving the order to his return to report the first work to Zhang Weixin, it only took more than an hour before and after, which can definitely be called efficient.

Gu Anjia's good performance made Zhang Weixin both satisfied with his ability and a little uneasy at the same time. In Zhang Weixin's view, this kind of person has the ability, but lacks willpower. In good times, it is a good help, and in bad times it is a risk factor. Therefore, it can be used for this kind of person, but it must not be of great use, especially not to let him have too much contact with the original captives, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the team.

It's just that this person is still useful to the team, so after listening to Gu Anjia's report, Zhang Weixin affirmed and praised his work. At the same time, I hope that he will make persistent efforts to make new contributions in the work of persuading the displaced people.

After receiving Zhang Weixin's praise, Gu Anjia kept being humble, and said that he would leave for the mountain and must bring out all his companions in the mountain.

However, although Zhang Weixin praised Gu Anjia's drive, he did not let him enter the mountain immediately. Because according to the previous Jihua, he and the people from the censorship department had to go with Gu An's family this time in order to fully grasp the situation of those displaced people in the mountain. Therefore, before the arrival of the first squadron of the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion, which is responsible for protecting everyone's safety, Zhang Weixin will not let Gu Anjia act alone.

Although Gu Anjia felt that he could handle this matter well, and there was no need for Zhang Weixin and the others to go into the mountain together, he did not dare to show any objections to Zhang Weixin's arrangement, so he could only wait patiently.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin led the first squadron of the Feilong Pioneer Battalion to finally arrive at the "Jingyuan". Since the "Jingyuan" is about 30 miles away from the valley where the displaced people are hiding, it takes at least five or six hours to walk, and if you set off now, everyone will have to spend the night in the wilderness, so most of the traversers still tend to enter the mountain again the next morning.

However, after careful consideration, considering that the displaced people could not be heard of for a long time, there might be panic, which would lead to confusion and adversely affect the persuasion work that followed, so the committee finally decided to set off for the mountain immediately.
