The bandits' house, the hall is not so elaborate.

There is also an earthen stove in the corner.

Now the weather is still cold, and Wu Nian and the others are really cold and hungry. He set up a large pot on the earthen stove, added firewood, put some mushrooms, ginger and garlic in a mess, and boiled pork.

Wu Nian, Zhang Jin, Li Sheng, Tie Niu, and Zhang Sheng sat cross-legged around the iron pot, drinking hot soup and wine.

This wine and meat went down, and Wu Nian's whole body warmed up.

"Something?"

After Wu Nian took a sip of the hot soup, he looked up at Li Sheng. The other party ate and drank less, and his face showed a worried look.

The other three all put down the hot soup and looked at Li Sheng.

There is no need to ramble on this matter, Li Sheng nodded and admitted: "I don't know Lord Xiaoqi, how to settle us?" ”

Tie Niu showed anger and asked, "Do you believe us Xiaoqi-sama?" ”

Wu Nian has already said just now that he will treat the thieves well.

"It's not that I don't believe it. It's that we are all thieves, and Lord Xiaoqi is an official. It's hard to settle. Li Sheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

Wu Nian waved his hand and stopped the angry Iron Bull. He smiled and bent down to pick up the wine jar, a clean wine bowl, poured wine into the wine bowl, handed it to Li Sheng, and said, "Drink." ”

Li Sheng clenched his hands into fists, and then solemnly reached out and took the wine bowl, and drank it with a snort.

"Who were you bandits?" Wu Nian watched Li Sheng finish drinking before asking.

"Most of them are military households, a small number are homeless, and some outlaws." Li Sheng put down the wine bowl and replied briskly.

"Hmm." Wu Nian frowned slightly, the outlaws were a little difficult to do. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Nian said with a smile: "You have become a slave and become my slave." You. Be my soldier. I will not treat you badly. ”

Li Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "Lord Xiaoqi." Do you dare to rein in your life? ”

Although it is said that the officials in Liaodong are bold in doing things, it also happens from time to time to collect their lives and become domestic slaves.

But Wu Nian is a small banner, a big official with sesame mung beans. And there are too many of them, adding up to more than eighty households, six or seven hundred people.

First, if the court investigates it, it is rare to have to rob the house and kill the head.

Second, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to stop the bandits?

"Hehehe." Wu Nian smiled, lifted the wine jar and poured himself half a bowl of wine, and put it down after taking two sips, before saying, "What don't you dare." I have communicated with Brother Zhang, and we all agree that the Mengyuan people will definitely go south this year, and then there will be chaos in Liaodong. ”

"If I kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I may be able to be a hundred."

"And Liaodong was in turmoil, and military households and civilian households fled. Everything is out of order. It's not a big deal for me to take in you people. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Nian looked at Li Sheng and said, "I originally wanted to form a family army, and it was just right to gather you." Let's just form two family soldiers. You follow me and lead a team of men. ”

"If I kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I will become a hundred, a thousand. It's not impossible to find a way to turn you back into the military household and become a small flag. ”

This person named Li Sheng is the second leader here, and he should have the ability.

Li Sheng's performance just now, Wu Nian saw it in his eyes and felt that this guy was quite bold. Now the world is chaotic and the situation is erosive.

He originally wanted to find Zhang Jin, but since it didn't work out, it would be good to retreat to the next best thing and get a Li Sheng.

If you want to attract people, you have to draw a big pie.

Li Sheng was a fugitive soldier who eventually became a bandit. But does he want to be a bandit for the rest of his life? Give Li Sheng a chance, a chance to become a small flag officer.

Li Shengneng is not impressed?

The current Wu Nian is not the original Wu Nian.

A conversation with Zhang Jin opened a door for him. He wants his wife and children to live on the hot kang, but the situation is like this, so he can only face the difficulties.

He wants to be a great official.

Isn't the so-called Imperial Technique a reward and punishment?

If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished, and it will be orderly.

If you can do this, you are a good general.

Wu Nian guessed correctly, although Li Sheng was the second leader of the bandits, he always felt unsafe. This outlaw bandit, is it so easy?

Not only is his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, but even his wife and children.

He was not an idle man either, and was a good soldier before he fled. It was only later that due to various reasons, he had to flee.

If you can return to the military household, you can also become a small flag.

He dreamed of it.

He wasn't worried at all about whether Wu Nian would be able to succeed. This is a tiger with wings, and sooner or later it will soar into the sky.

"The villain is willing to serve the little flag." Li Sheng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his head.

"Haha, get up. From now on, he will be his own brother. Don't be too restrictive. We are all doors, not those twisted and pinched scholarly doors, so we should be more straightforward and heroic. Wu Nian laughed out loud and helped Li Sheng up, twelve points straightforward.

"Yes." Li Sheng took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and suddenly responded.

Tie Niu and Zhang Sheng also showed joy. And so it goes. The number of troops actually controlled by Lord Xiaoqi is three teams.

Li Shengdu believes that Wu Nian will definitely be able to soar into the sky, let alone them?

"If the little flag is rising. Shouldn't we also be on the rise? Maybe I'm an iron cow and can become a hundred households. ”

Iron Bull rejoiced in his heart.

"There was green smoke coming out of my Zhang family's ancestral grave, so I followed Lord Xiaoqi. Maybe I'll be able to become a flag. ”

Zhang Sheng said secretly in his heart.

Of the five people present, three were happy, but Zhang Jin was a little embarrassed.

Before, he thought that Wu Nian's officials were too young and really had no future. He might as well wait for the chaos in Liaodong, and then rise up and accept the imperial court's recruitment.

One step to the sky and become a general of the imperial court.

But today, when I saw Wu Nian's ability, I was really convinced.

Anyway, he didn't dare to climb the ten-zhang cliff with his bare hands.

He admitted that he had underestimated Wu Nian before.

If he is a hero, then Wu Nian is a hero among heroes.

Such a person will definitely be able to make things happen. And together with Wu Nian, wouldn't it be like taking a big ship, making meritorious contributions, and getting twice the result with half the effort.

But he rejected Wu Nian before, and now he asks to join, isn't it too cheeky?

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Jin finally came to his heart. He gritted his teeth, threw away his face, and said to Wu Nian: "Brother." I took what I said before, and I want to do it with you. ”

Wu Nian looked at Zhang Jin in surprise, and soon turned into joy.

"Hahahaha. With the help of my brother, why can't I gain a foothold in Liaodong in Wu Nian? Wu Nian laughed, and hurriedly picked up the wine jar, and filled himself with Zhang Jin.

"Brother. From now on, we will live and die together, and share wealth and wealth. Wu Nian raised his wine glass and said to Zhang Jin.

In Wu Nian's view, Li Sheng can be regarded as a talent.

But Li Sheng compares with Zhang Jin, that is the difference between Haoyue and Firefly.

Zhang Jin is brave, understands the art of war, knows how to march and arrange, chooses mountains and rivers to set up camp, and is a material for being a general.

Wouldn't it be easy for us to cooperate and become a big official?

Wu Nianxi was so beautiful that Zhang Jin was really moved.

This brother is so good.

"." He also raised the wine bowl, a little red light appeared on his dark face, and he clinked glasses with Wu Nian excitedly, and then the two of them drank it all.
