After the war subsided, Chen Quan and Dongfang were undefeated on a rock, looking at the more than 80,000 ragged rebels and Sui troops below, feeling the panic, unease, confusion and curiosity in their hearts, curious about what kind of person Chen Quan, the new leader, was, and curious about what was on the more than 100 loaded carriages in front of them.

"You have never seen me before this day, and you do not even know my name now. But it doesn't matter, as long as you know, follow me Chen Quan, and all of you will have money, land and wives. ”

As he spoke, Chen Quan waved his hand downward.

When the disciples on the carriage below and Boss Yan and others received the order, they all waved their knives to cut the ropes on the carriage, and suddenly a cartload of rice fell from the seventy carriages. More than 30 other carriages were dropped by hundreds of thousands of sets of clothes and shoes. Watching the white rice fall like this, more than 80,000 pairs of eyes showed greed, longing and pity almost at the same time.

"These are the sincerity of my Chen Quan, in the future, there will be more food, thicker and warmer clothes, and more heaven and earth that will feed you for generations. Tell me if you'd like to follow me! ”

"Yes! Willing! Willing to ---"

In the face of real food and clothing, more than 80,000 rebels almost did not hesitate to send their loyalty to Chen Quan. Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others, who were controlled aside, all looked at Chen Quan with frowns, especially Zhang Xutuo, and there was a strong uneasiness in their hearts.

Chen Quan did not use any empty slogans to bewitch the rebels, let alone use cruel means to collect cannon fodder, but bought these people with food, clothing, and more heaven and earth in the future that can really keep everyone alive. As long as Chen Quan can really keep everyone fed and clothed, then these people will stand firmly in front of him and be loyal to him.

As a loyal minister of the Great Sui, Zhang Xutuo was extremely worried. Now I only hope that Chen Quan is an existence with some financial resources, but he has no strategy. Zhang Xutuo, who has been busy suppressing bandits for a while, failed to notice the rumors in the rivers and lakes, so the ending was destined to disappoint him.

Chen Quan did not rush to attack the city after controlling more than 80,000 people like other rebel armies, but led these more than 80,000 people out of sight and into the southwest mountains, in a valley bottom, to meet with the more than 10,000 people he brought from Yangzhou, and repaired for half a month.

During this period, Chen Quan showed everyone his strong financial resources. Three full meals a day, with meat at every meal, as if the food in his hands was endless. More than 80,000 people, each with two sets of thick and exaggerated clothes, made the rebels who could only shiver in the cold winter for the first time live a warm day in the cold winter. Even the captive generals, who have not yet decided whether to take refuge or not, have a share.

In addition, Chen Quan carried out a comprehensive integration and selection of these more than 80,000 people, together with the more than 10,000 people he brought, selected 30,000 soldiers, and issued equipment that was sharper and stronger than the imperial court's standard weapons and armor. The other 60,000 people served as temporary auxiliaries, responsible for carrying supplies or building camps to serve the soldiers.

Seeing that ordinary soldiers could easily stab the spears in their hands into the standard armor of the Sui generals, and the knife soldiers easily cut off the weapons of the Sui soldiers with the new knives in their hands, Zhang Xutuo and the others had a hard time seeing the extreme.

In the past half a month, Chen Quan ignored Zhang Xutuo and others. It wasn't until half a month later, when Chen Quan was about to lead the army out of the mountains, that he called Zhang Xutuo and others to the big tent.

Looking at Zhang Xutuo and the others who were glaring at him angrily, Chen Quan smiled slightly, and motioned to his subordinates to loosen the ties of Zhang Xutuo and the others.

"General Zhang, you are the general of the Great Sui, and I want to rebel against the Great Sui who disregards the life and death of the people and recreate the world. On the battlefield, each has its own position, so you don't have to stare at me like that. ”

Chen Quan motioned for Zhang Xutuo and the others to sit down.

"Humph! Even if the Great Sui is sorry for the people of the world, he is not sorry for you! Looking at your appearance, you should be a wealthy scholar, the Great Sui is kind to you, why did you rebel against the Great Sui unthankfully? ”

Zhang Xutuo sat down unceremoniously on the side, staring at Chen Quan and Dongfang Undefeated. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others stood behind Zhang Xutuo.

"Hehe, General Zhang, you guessed wrong. Zai is not a member of the scholar clan, but a maritime merchant who has returned from overseas, and has never received any favor from the Great Sui. It's just that seeing the people of Shenzhou wailing in pain under the oppression of tyrants and insatiable family valves, they can't bear it, and they want to fight for their lives for the people with their own strength. ”

Chen Quan shook his head and said, then interrupted Zhang Xutuo, who wanted to continue arguing, and continued.

"General Zhang doesn't need to say much, I have no interest in arguing with you. I invited General Zhang to come today to inform General Zhang and you that after the general led the people east into Qingzhou, you can return to the Great Sui Imperial Court. ”

"What do you mean? You're going to let us go? ”

Zhang Xutuo looked at Chen Quan in surprise, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and the others also looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Chen Quan in disbelief.

"Or else? Kill you guys? I'm not that murderous. And I hope that when you are cornered, you will come to me! ”

Chen Quan said with a smile. He didn't think about recruiting these people at this time, even if these people left a great reputation in history, because Chen Quan knew that it was impossible for these people to surrender to him now.

Now it has just been ten years of great cause, and these people have not reached the point of desperation, and they are still loyal to the Great Sui. And he doesn't even have a turf now, let alone any convincing performance in governance. In this case, it is simply wishful thinking to rely on one mouth to make others bow their heads and worship. It's better to put it away now, make a good impression, and save it for later.

"Humph! Wish for the moon! ”

Hearing that Chen Quan still wanted to surrender himself, Zhang Xutuo was angry again and glared at Chen Quan viciously.

"Hehe, is it wishful thinking, there will naturally be a day when it will be revealed in the future. Alright, everybody, let's go! ”

Chen Quan didn't care about Zhang Xutuo's attitude at all, and raised his hand with a smile to signal that a few people could leave.

"Humph! Don't think that if you let us go, we'll be grateful to you. When we meet on the battlefield tomorrow, I'll cut off your head! ”

After speaking, Zhang Xutuo led the way out of the big tent, and Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others also left.

"That's Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin! Just put it like that? Aren't you afraid to let the tiger go back to the mountain? ”

After a few people left, Dongfang Undefeated asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to escape my palm! Yan Kuan, Wu Xiao, order the whole army to pull out! ”

Waving his hand to the undefeated East, Chen Quan ordered his subordinates.

"Yes!" "Yes!"

As soon as the military order was given, the 30,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 auxiliary soldiers who had been prepared immediately pulled out of the camp east of the Taishan Mountains at the fastest speed and headed east.

On top of a mountain, Zhang Xutuo and the others, who had just left, looked at the nearly 100,000 righteous troops that stretched for miles from afar, their eyes full of worry.

"I don't know what kind of trouble this person will bring to Dasui!"

Zhang Xutuo said with a helpless sigh.
