Chapter 39 Borrowing chickens to lay eggs + undercover
Tian Fuliang was overjoyed again. Although he had been a general for generations and the old man was also a pillar of the country, raising soldiers was a bottomless pit! The Tian family's military training method was somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, where 90% of the military salary was used to raise 10% of the army.
Elite soldiers, with 10% of military pay to support 90% of auxiliary troops!
In this case, the investment in his own elite is particularly large. The more than 10,000 taels of silver that Lin Fengjin took out at this time, to put it bluntly, is really the largest wealth that Tian Fuliang has ever mastered in his life.
As the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh. Although Lin Fengjin had disgraced Tian Fuliang before, he had always been polite to him. At this time, he entrusted the elite people to him first.
Next, he donated a huge sum of money. All he asked for was to be kind to his past arrangements and not to harm his family. The request was not excessive.
For Tian Fuliang, these people who were entrusted to him were a surprise, and they were determined to be reused. How could they be treated harshly if they were not enough to win over?
As for taking care of Lin Fengjin's family, it was a piece of cake for him. Tian Fuliang was already in charge of this matter. For him, it was just a matter of adding or deleting a few names to the relevant list submitted to King Fu.
It's all a matter of hands.
And for all reasons and reasons, he must protect the Lin family. Even if it is for no other reason, it is worth it just to make these newly attached elites feel at ease! What's more, Lin Fengjin was very smart and took more than 10,000 taels.
The money comes out? Whether it is compensation or bribery, this is a festival that can be overcome.
After Lin Fengjin handed over these matters, he bowed deeply to Tian Fuliang and walked out proudly. Soon he heard someone shouting:
"Oh no, Young Master and Linde jumped off the cliff together!"
After hearing this, Li Hu and the leaders in the room knelt down together! With tears in their eyes, Tian Fuliang was not really stupid. After being slightly stunned, he felt a little unbelievable that Mr. Lin was willing to die.
.But he immediately felt relieved:
Even if Mr. Lin escaped by jumping off a cliff and feigning death, it would be fine as long as he was not by his side. Now that he has money and power, he can give these elites at hand the opportunity to make wives and children, and the right to rise step by step, and follow Lin Fengjin.
What could be around me? The identity of a domestic slave?
The gap between the two was so huge that even Tian Fuliang couldn't help laughing at his own thoughts. He had a lot of clues about what to do next. While appeasing the elites who had just surrendered to him, he called for people to come up.
After cleaning the battlefield, packing up Fu Yida's body and preparing to set off, how could he care about Lin Fengjin's life or death?

At the same time, Lin Fengjin and Lin De were hurriedly walking down the mountain through the secret passage behind the mountain.
Of course, this secret path was revealed by the bandit monk. Although it is very dangerous and difficult to walk, there is still no problem in escaping for one or two people.
At this time, Linde's arm injury has been bandaged properly and good medicine has been applied, but his face looks very pale. Fortunately, he is already agile, and the effect of the ancient secret technique Fierce Mountain Walking has not disappeared, so
Walking in the mountains is not difficult.
Seeing that the most dangerous place had been passed, the two stopped to rest. Linde couldn't help but said:
"Master, are you too kind to Commander Na Tian? You give away money and people..."
Lin Fengjin smiled lightly and said:
"According to my current situation, I can only hang out in one county and one place. I am just a local tyrant and evil gentry. There is no way for Li Hu to go further. If he wants to give full play to his abilities, he must
Send him to a higher platform."
"Commander Tian is just a middle-aged man, but he has a strong family background. Whether it is his family's complicated relationship in the military or the current situation that Commander Tian is short of manpower, it can provide Li Hu with the best opportunity for his current development.
Good platform. I am not offering help in times of need, but I am borrowing money to lay eggs! I can’t say much about the rest of the people, but don’t you know about the relationship between Li Hu and me? He is actually an undercover agent.
, the better he develops in the Nanzheng Army, the greater his help will be to me in the future!"
Yes, even if Tian Fuliang calculated it, he could not estimate that Lin Fengjin had the powerful ability to change his destiny! Even if Li Hu was a snob, he was determined not to betray his old master due to the conditions he offered! What's more!
Li Hu is a very loyal person to begin with? It is precisely because of this that Lin Fengjin can use this strategy of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" and using the power of the Tian family to cultivate his cronies!
After this battle, Tian Fuliang took Fu Yidao's body back to deliver the report, and also got the message he was determined to win. His position should be more stable.
Lin Fengjin is very clear about the mentality of those in power. As long as things are done well, even if there are heavy casualties in the hearts of those in power, it is also a sign of hard work, bravery and loyalty. On the contrary, if things go wrong, then there will be heavy casualties, which means that they are incompetent and useless.
What a loser!
"Well, it seems that there is still one last finishing thing that has not been done." Lin Fengjin narrowed his eyes slightly:
"The trace of the dog was revealed, but it has always been hidden! I don't know if Fu Yidao mentioned my family to him. From now on, Li Hu will maintain Nanzheng's officialdom, and the Tian family will be the stronghold of my Lin family.
As for the aid, Bai Dao is almost worry-free, but that dog that wanders around in the wilderness is a huge hidden danger! It can kill the wrong ones without mercy. If I don't get rid of it, I won't be able to rest assured even if I go out to study!"
"But calculating the time, it should be almost time. Li Hu works calmly and carefully, and he will definitely not forget what I told him."

It is said that when Tian Fuliang entered the group of gangsters alone, half of the people under him were more admired, and more of them were worried:
The group of gangsters on the opposite side were extremely cruel, ruthless and insidious. They finally got stupid and were willing to let him out. What if this time Commander Tian, a good-for-nothing who pooped in his crotch, got hot-headed and cut off his head because of his inappropriate language?
Killed hundreds of people here?
Therefore, when Tian Fuliang came out with the group of "robbers" with great ambition, and saw the docile and obedient appearance of the group of "violent bandits", one can imagine the surprise in the hearts of these officers and soldiers.
Especially Tian Fuliang's repeated mistakes before, which almost destroyed the morale of his subordinates. It can be said that he also felt that his face was disgraced and almost ashamed. At this time, the astonishment on the faces of these unruly officers around him could be seen.
Tian Fuliang's eyes were full of high spirits and ambition, and he felt that nothing could be happier than this in his life.
He had always valued Li Hu very much, so he kept him with him at all times. Now that he saw these former subordinates around him, he suddenly thought of these people's previous insubordination and rebelliousness, and he felt even more unhappy.
Mr. Tian is not a well-known figure. To put it bluntly, he has a demeanor similar to that of Leng Tou Qing or 250. So in order to win over Li Hu - of course, it is more because he has no money at hand.
He was afraid of trouble, so he neatly and neatly handed over all the chores and general affairs to him to handle. In order to prevent Li Hu from having trouble getting started, a personal soldier was specially assigned to him.
Of course, it is easy to make those old troops dissatisfied. However, Commander Tian and his previous fearlessness of life and death, and the power of being brave enough to defeat the enemy alone, coupled with the stubbornness of a stupid young man, who can say too much? Li Hu, on the other hand, is like
It was as if he was a self-taught master. He knew all the disadvantages of the military affairs and assigned them in an orderly manner, but no one could even complain!
At this time, Commander Tian even felt that he had found a treasure. You must know that although Qin Qing is also capable, he is the confidant of the old man. Watching him grow up, there is always some meaning of the elders scolding the younger ones. But for young people
, who likes to have an old guy nagging next to his ear.
Li Hu, on the other hand, finished his work and came back to stay by his side silently. He didn't say much and was very respectful. This made Tian Fuliang more and more satisfied.
After a group of people came down the mountain, Tian Fuliang had a lot of money in his hands. He didn't wait for the money to be withdrawn from above, and directly distributed the silver reward promised before. Of course, the morale of the group was greatly boosted. Then they hurriedly set off back to the camp to answer the question.
, I also had to find a way to go to Prince Fu's place to do business, and I was so busy that my heels hit the back of my head.
As for the so-called flying pigeons to deliver messages, they are used when delivering unimportant news. In today's era of various magical channels, it is indeed not too difficult to intercept a few pigeons.
The army galloped for fifty or sixty miles when they encountered a messenger sent by Tian Zhuguo, who told Commander Tian to fight steadily. King Fu took action and helped them cover up, so they only needed to arrive at the military station seventy miles outside Xiangfan before dark to sign in.
Everything is fine. At this time, the whole army is relaxed. There are still five or six hours before dark, which can be said to be more than enough time.
The army was tired at this time, so after galloping for about thirty or forty miles, it was necessary to take a rest, change horses, drink water, etc. Taking advantage of this moment, Li Hu took the initiative to find Tian Fuliang and said respectfully:
"Sir, I suddenly remembered something at this time, and I feel it is necessary to report it to your Excellency."
Tian Fuliang saw that he spoke solemnly, so he also said seriously:
"you say."
"Fu Yidao was originally a confidant of the giant thief Dog King, and now he had the important responsibility of passing on secrets. They originally made an appointment to meet in Qu Town, but they didn't expect that the army was so quick that they arrived quickly, so it was disrupted.
Their advance plan. However, this also resulted in the power of the Dog King who came to help was not damaged! In addition, the news of Fu Yidao's death had not yet spread, Mo Jiang thought that such a vicious thief like the Dog King would never turn a blind eye.
Watch as we send the prisoners to Xiangdu."
Li Hu said simply.
Tian Fuliang said unconcernedly:
"So, what you mean is that we will be attacked by that dog king?"
