Qin Lang's recruitment method is similar to that of kidnapping tickets, although it is not very proper, but it solves Ning Ze's biggest headache now.

With these few talents joining, it is enough to manage Buta-gun, at least the most important position is held.

Of course they have low loyalty, which is a big problem.

In the current situation, it is still a little difficult to retain.

Fortunately, Ning Ze had the help of the system, so on the grounds of welcoming several talents to join the management of Buduo County, they were each rewarded with a month's salary.

Including Qin Lang and Liao Frame, their loyalty increases by 5 to 9 points respectively after receiving the reward.

Next, just let them do more, and then give rewards, and it is not a problem to increase loyalty to eighty or ninety points in a short period of time.

Anyway, if you take Wuduo County, the transfer of money in the official warehouse is not a problem at all.

In the next few days, he did follow this method, using the reward function to smoothly promote these officials who were forced to leave the office.

At noon that day, a spy suddenly came to report that Liang Teng had led the team back.

Ning Ze immediately took someone out to greet him, and was a little surprised when he saw it.

It turned out that led by Liang Teng, the whole army was disgraced and embarrassed.

"Liang Taishou, what's going on?" Ning Ze asked suspiciously.

Liang Teng's expression was not very good: "Then Yang Ying is really cunning! Our army pursued to the vicinity of Maoshan and fought with Yang Ran's army for several days. Yang Ran's army had no food, the army was disheartened, and the enemy retreated. Chasing to the north of Maoshan, I saw a figure shaking in the music in the dense forest, and a faint light of fire appeared, and I was worried that the enemy would use the fire meter, so I changed the route and pursued from Fuling. Unexpectedly, the dense forest in the north of Maoshan was just a suspicious soldier, and Yang Ying waited for our army to completely enter the Fuling grassland and ordered someone to set it on fire. The fire spread in the Qianli grassland, our army was defeated, and Yang Ran took the opportunity to take away the grain truck. lost food and grass, so he had to bring his troops back to supply for the time being. When I regroup my troops and horses and prepare enough food and grass, I will definitely not let him run away this time!"

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Liang Taishou does not need to blame himself. After Ning Ze understood the situation, he opened the virtual map to take a look at it, and said to Liang Teng, "Yang Ran is just surviving, so there is nothing to worry about. Go back to the city to rest for a day, Yang Ran has obtained military rations, and he will definitely attack Tuluhe County. If you want to capture Tuluhe County, it's not so fast, tomorrow I will go out with Taishou, and he will have nowhere to escape!"

So Liang Teng led the army into the city to rest, and Ning Ze asked Cao Cao Pengshi Zhu Jun to prepare military rations.

The virtual map shows that Yang Ran's army really went to Tuluhe County and prepared to capture the city.

At present, Ju County, Ba County, and Tuluhe County are all leaderless, and no one can stop Yang Ran in a chaotic situation. Of course, if you just defend the city, you can probably hold out until your own army arrives.

The next day, Liang Teng and Zhu Jun handed over the military rations and immediately gathered soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle.

Ning Ze told Qin Lang that he should manage Wuduo County well, and the most important thing was to recruit talents.

After that, he left Wuduo County with Liang Teng and led the army to Tuluhe.

During the period, trekking through mountains and rivers was non-stop.

When he arrived at Tuluhe County, Ning Ze found that there was an army movement on the virtual map, and Yang Ran's army, which was attacking Tuluhe County, turned around for some reason, and actually left Tuluhe County and headed in the direction of Ba County.

Could it be that the other party calculated that the army on his side was coming, and because he couldn't quickly capture Tuluhe County, he temporarily changed his target to avoid himself?

Do you want to tell Liang Teng and tell him to tell the army to turn around and go directly to Ba County to intercept it?

After thinking about it, pursuing Yang Ran is secondary, and taking the opportunity to take the three counties is the main goal.

It is close to Tuluhe County, and the garrison in the city will not be too strong.

They were able to block Yang Ran, but they didn't necessarily have to defend themselves, after all, the soldiers and horses of Huajun were united with the other party to fight against Yang Ran. As long as the city gate is opened, the city can be quickly controlled, and in the case of the dragons without a leader, Tuluhe County is easy to master.

Wait until Tuluhe is taken, and then send troops to pursue Yang Ran.

Therefore, Liang Teng was not reminded and continued to advance with the army.

When he came to Tuluhe County and didn't see Yang Ran's army, Liang Teng immediately said: "It seems that Yang Ran's army has diverted to Ba County in advance, and our army should pursue it immediately!"

"Liang Taishou doesn't need to be in a hurry. Ning Ze told him, "It's not too late to take Tuluhe County first, and then go to Ba County." You can first send an envoy to Tuluhe County to inform them that reinforcements have arrived and that they need to rest outside the city for a while. The other party will not defend it, and when it opens the city gate, he will immediately attack it and take it in one fell swoop!"

"Does this seem to be detrimental to the name of the Lord's benevolence?" Liang Teng asked worriedly.

After all, taking the opportunity to capture an ally's city is a very unkind act.

Just declare to the outside world that Tuluhe learned that the lord was benevolent and righteous, and he died because of the Taishou, and took refuge in the lord in order to protect the great revenge. Ning Ze said.

So the envoy took the lead and hurried to Tuluhe County.

Liang Teng and Ning Ze led the army and continued to advance.

When the army arrived in Tuluhe County, they saw the city gate open and the sheng flag waving from a distance.

The civil and military officials in the city came out to greet each other, and the beating of gongs and drums was particularly lively.

This situation was unexpected, and even when reinforcements arrived, the level of welcome was too exaggerated.

Ning Ze and Liang Teng looked at each other, this situation was really embarrassing to directly lead troops to attack the city, so they stepped forward to take a look at the situation first.

When I came to the city, I saw dozens of civil officials and military generals lined up on the opposite side, and when they saw Liang Teng and Ning Ze arriving, they dismounted one after another.

One of the generals in the middle shouted: "Congratulations to Ning Junshi and Liang Taishou!"

The civil and military officials shouted in unison and saluted at the same time.

Liang Teng turned to Ning Ze in confusion and asked what was going on with his eyes.

Ning Ze was also at a loss, his eyes carefully looked at these civil and military officials, and suddenly fell on the person in charge.

I didn't notice just now, this person was wearing military armor, and his face couldn't be seen clearly when he lowered his head. But when the personal attribute appeared, it was quite surprising: "Song Gao?"

The military general raised his head, sure enough, it was Song Gao himself, how did he run to Tuluhe County and become the leader of these civil and military officials in just a few days?

On that day, Song Gao was captured by thieves, and he thought that he would definitely die. Ning Ze sent people to search for a long time, but there was no news, and he didn't expect him to appear in Tuluhe County.

Song Gao stepped forward quickly and took out a big seal from his arms: "Hearing that the military division is coming, the city rejoices. This is the great seal of Tuluhe, and all the generals are willing to join it. ”

Ning Ze took the big seal, and he was a little confused about the situation, but at a glance, sure enough, the forces to which those civil and military officials belonged were all marked by Liu Yuanxiangjun.

I planned to take the opportunity to take Tuluhe County, and I was ready to take the city by force, who would have thought that the other party would take the initiative to surrender and completely save this step.

Bending down to take the big seal from Song Hao's hand, Ning Ze asked in a low voice: "You were kidnapped by thieves, and this army sent people to search everywhere, but found nothing." Why did you come to Tuluhe County, and what's going on with this big seal?"

"Strategist, it's a long story!" Song Gao replied, "Please follow the subordinate into the city, and then tell you slowly!"

So Ning Ze led the army into the city under the leadership of the civil and military officials of Tuluhe County.

A banquet has been prepared in the city to wash the dust for Ning Ze and Liang Teng.

After the banquet, Song Gao invited Ning Ze to the inner hall and retreated.

Ning Ze immediately asked: "What the hell is going on? You were captured by the thieves, how did you survive? How did you come to Tuluhe County, and let the civil and military officials in the city surrender sincerely." ”

"Commander!" replied Song Gao, "that day, the officials thought that they were dead, and they were taken away by that thief, and they were extremely desperate. Because the thief's war horse was frightened, he took his subordinates and the thief to run for dozens of miles, and finally collapsed from exhaustion. The thief wanted to take the lower official back, but when he was drinking water on the way, the lower official jumped into the river and fled. The thief chased all the way, and the subordinate fled everywhere in order to survive, and later escaped by hiding in the corpse pile. After the thief left, the lower officials were hungry and thirsty, so they wanted to find something to eat. During this period, I found a tiger striped jade pendant with a missing horn on the corpse of a certain official, and I took it with me when I was greedy......"

"Corpses?"

"It's another battlefield, Xia Guan didn't know who those people were at the time, until he got lost and hit by mistake, and he had to hold the boat down the river, and when he arrived in Tuluhe County, he knew that the tiger-striped jade pendant was Tuluhe Taishou Lu Wen's belongings, and what I saw in front was Tuluhe Taishou Lu Wen and his subordinates. ”

Ning Ze frowned when he heard this: "The corpses of Lu Wen and others, I later ordered someone to collect and bury them, you passed by there before this?"

"That's right!" Song Gao replied, "Xia Guan wanted to come back, but he was hung on his horse by that thief and ran away for a long time, he was dizzy and couldn't tell the direction, and he got lost in a daze. If it weren't for the kind boat to pick him up, it is estimated that he would have died in the mountains and forests. ”

"So you were taken to Tuluhe County after you got lost? But why did the civil and military officials of Tuluhe County listen to you and go out and surrender?"

"Yu Junshi, they are scared of being beaten by Yang Ran!" Song Gao said, "Although Yang Ranjun is leaving temporarily, everyone is worried that he will come at any time." Because Lu Taishou and Deputy General Lu died because of the conquest of Yang Ran, the civil and military forces in the city hated Yang Ran. And because Jiang Sheng killed Lu Taishou, the generals were also hostile to the Jiang family in Jujun. Now Yang Ran seems to be attacking Ba County, and Ba County itself is difficult to protect. In such a situation, isolated and helpless, the subordinate officials spoke out to persuade them and successfully persuaded the generals to join our army!"

"Why did they listen to you?" Ning Ze asked with a frown.

He knows the situation on Liu Yuanxiang's side very well, and the civil and military forces in Tuluhe County take the initiative to surrender, which is very unlikely, and even he doesn't dare to imagine it. How did Song Gao persuade the other party to join them willingly?"

Seeing him ask, Song Gao replied in a low voice: "Commander, everything is providence!"

"How?"

"When the lower official arrived in Tuluhe County, he wanted to try to return to find the military advisor. Song Gao said, "But I have no money, only a tiger-striped jade pendant." At that time, I wanted to take the tiger stripe jade pendant as some money and sell a good horse. Who would have thought that the pawnshop in the city was the Lu family's industry. As soon as the lower official took out the tiger striped jade pendant, he didn't say a word, and the shopkeeper immediately invited me to the inner hall and asked what Taishou had to say. Xia Guan didn't know how to answer, and he didn't dare to say that he would take the jade pendant. Later, the third lady of the Lu family arrived, and asked the middle and lower officials to talk nonsense, but they hit it crookedly, saying that Lu Taishou was dead, saying that she was entrusted to send this jade pendant back. Because at that time, I didn't dare to think about money anymore, I just wanted to get out as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the third lady didn't know why, and asked the lower official Lu Taishou who would inherit the jade pendant among the children. After that, he tried his best to get the lower official to hand over the jade pendant to her. Xia Guan was at a loss, and thought about it for a long time, and then he was dragged by Miss Lu San to live in the same room in a daze, and he had a spring supper all night......"
