"To increase your strength, you have to expand your territory. Renyue said, "You are only a small county magistrate now, and you can only manage the acre and three points of land in Sandao County, and other places are not under your jurisdiction." I'm wondering if I should get rid of that bullshit county guard, anyway, the guy surnamed Yao is not a thing, colluding with the Tartars, it should have been a thousand cuts a long time ago. Then find a way to get you on the throne and control Dunhuang County, it would be good. ”

"Do you think that the position of county guard is so easy to get?" Lin Xiqi said angrily, "The position of county magistrate may still be traded in private, and other places at least have to raise their identities, right? The county guard can't do it, this matter has to be done slowly. ”

"What your lord said is that it is too difficult to get the position of county warden now, but there is one thing that adults need to be careful. Chen Changjie said, "Next, Yao Qile may be a black hand to adults." ”

"Can you still be afraid of him?" Renyue said disdainfully.

"It's not a question of being afraid or not, as long as you do it, it will eventually bring trouble to Sandao County. Chen Changjie said.

"Actually, we don't have to worry about it. Yao Qile should be damned, in short, he can't continue to sit in the position of county guard. Wang Dong said, "We can completely support the people on our side to take the position, it's better than Yao Qile, right?"

"Those counties are not a good thing, who do you want to support?" Renyue asked.

"Actually, Hao Feng and Lord Hao are not bad. Maybe he's not on our side, but at least he's on good terms with us, and that's enough. Hong Shangrong said.

"Lord Hao is now wearing a guilty body, and I don't know if I will live or die next. Renyue said.

"Then let's kill, it's better to start early, Yao Qile is deeply rooted in Dunhuang County, and he also has his own plans, which is actually a little unfavorable to us. Now that the garrison of Dunhuang County is completely annihilated, it will be Yao Qile's world at that time, and such a thing must not be allowed to happen. Wang Dong said.

"It's still not appropriate to kill Yao Qile now, at least it's not for us to kill. Lin Xiqi said, "But it's okay to cut off some of his minions." Wang Dong, you also have to pay attention to the group of people in Yao Qile's hands, the people who want to replace the garrison, and some of his secret masters. As long as he has the news and solves these people first, he Yao Qile will be a lonely person at that time, what else can he do?"

"Yes, sir. Wang Dong hurriedly said.

"I like it, and I should do it. Renyue laughed and said, "Lord Wang, don't forget to call me if you have any action." ”

"Definitely. Wang Dong said.

"Lord Hong, can those people in the rivers and lakes add to the manpower problem you said?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Of the 400 people in the rivers and lakes, except for those who died and those who left later, there were more than 200 people who were willing to stay and serve Lin Xiqi in the end.

For more than 200 people, as long as they make meritorious contributions here, they may be able to get more benefits.

When they came back, Lin Xiqi immediately fulfilled the promise he gave them, which made the hearts of these people in the rivers and lakes very excited.

also knows that Lin Xiqi is a person who keeps his promises.

Most of them don't have any sects, or some small sects, and most of them usually help others.

Anyway, if you are helping others do things, you have to choose the best one, and Lin Xiqi is obviously very suitable here.

Lin Xiqi had a close relationship with the Floating Cloud Sect, and in their opinion, as long as the Floating Cloud Sect was there, it was possible to obtain those pills and even exercises.

"No, they're not suitable. Hong Shangrong shook his head and said.

"These people are not very strong in the rivers and lakes, but they are more powerful than ordinary officers and soldiers, how can more than two hundred people join forces, how can they be worth five or six hundred, why not?" Ren Yue asked with some curiosity

"Yes, just like chasing and killing the Tartars before, and the tens of thousands of people in the rivers and lakes before attacking the Tartar camp, winning more with less. The people in the rivers and lakes join forces, and the power is great. I'm also a little curious, why can't I use it?" Lin Xiqi was also a little puzzled.

Everyone else is pretty much the same.

"It's not that they can't be used, it can only be said that they are not suitable for mixing with their subordinates. Hong Shangrong said, "These people in the rivers and lakes have different personalities, and it is impossible for them to abide by military discipline in the army. As for what adults say about people in the rivers and lakes who win more with less, it is also smooth sailing. If the offensive is blocked, and your side is at a disadvantage, the first to flee for their lives must be these people in the rivers and lakes. When the time comes, their own army will be attacked by them, resulting in the rout of the whole army. ”

"What Lord Hong said is that the habits of these people in the rivers and lakes are too heavy, and their selfishness is too heavy, so it is obviously impossible for them to line up to meet the enemy. Wang Dong also said.

The people in the rivers and lakes do not have any concept of military discipline and military law, and if they do not have these, the army is not an army, but a rabble.

Even if these people are all good, their overall strength will not be much stronger than ordinary armies, and they will even collapse at the touch of a button, and they will be vulnerable.

"Got it, let them come out alone. Lin Xiqi nodded, "It's not okay for them to attack as a large army, but it should be okay to raid or spy on the enemy as a small group of men, right?"

"Yes, that's what my subordinates think. Hong Shangrong said, "Officers and soldiers still need to recruit some children from good families, these people have families and relatives, know that military law is ruthless, once they break the law, it will even affect their relatives, so that they will abide by military discipline and carry out orders." The military does not rely on individual force, but on the strength of the whole. If it is an elite division, even if the individual strength of the officers and soldiers is very weak, those masters in the rivers and lakes do not dare to trespass easily, and it is not without precedent for the masters of the Dragon List to be killed. If it was an army composed of people in the rivers and lakes, they would probably be defeated first in the face of the masters of the Dragon List's strength. ”

"Haha, because none of them wants to go first, they all want others to go first. Renyue laughed.

As for ordinary officers and soldiers, under military discipline and military law, they can only rush, and this is the biggest difference.

Dunhuang City, the county guard's house.

Yao Qile is in his study, and there is also his master here.

"How is it, it's all done?" Yao Qile put down the pen in his hand and asked.

"I have already contacted the capital, and at most a month, more than 10,000 people will gather in Dunhuang County through various channels. At that time, the adults only need to issue a conscription order, and they can enter the army openly. Master said.

"Well, with these 10,000 people, we can control tens or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Yao Qile chuckled.

"Yes, yes, we only need to place these 10,000 people in key positions in the army, and this is our own army. Master hurriedly said.

"It's His Highness's army. Yao Qile said lightly.
