"Haha, boss, when the townspeople heard that you were here to recruit troops, they all came over immediately. We will definitely be able to recruit them successfully this time." Hou Shun said excitedly in Blackstone Town, looking at the townspeople swarming in.
.
In the previous battle, due to Dong Sheng's conspiracy, only less than 400 of the 865 members of the school team were left, with nearly 60% casualties!
However, because Su Le and Black Water Flag became famous during the battle, the entire cannon fodder camp knew about Su Le's deeds, so when they heard about the recruitment, countless warriors came one after another.
In the previous village, Su Le recruited two hundred young people aged fourteen to twenty.
Nowadays, in front of the recruiting stage, there has been a sign-up team of more than 500 people, standing out among the several recruiting points around.
"Hmph! He's just a brat who got some bad luck and dared to snatch away all our soldiers. Sir, that Su Le has gone too far! Who doesn't know that Blackstone Town should be your world? Sir, Su Le did this.
, is clearly provoking your authority!"
A hundred meters away from Su Le's recruiting point, a man wearing a flag commander's uniform spoke angrily to another young man with red lips and white teeth, covered in shining armor.
The young man snorted heavily, with a gloomy face, looking at the few figures in front of the stage, and said: "Ding Lai, find a way for me immediately and get all the troops on the opposite side to me."
"This..." Ding Lai thought hard. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said to the young man: "Sir, I have thought of a way to attract all those guys, but it will cost you a fortune or two."
The young man said: "Spend money? Haha, as long as it is effective, it doesn't matter how much you spend. I, Sun Yue, have nothing else, but I just have money! What can I do, tell me!"
Ding Lai said: "Sir, the reason why Su Le can attract those guys is simply because of his fame. But for these lowly guys, only money is the most real thing. As long as you add 50% of their monthly salary,
No, 30%, they will all be pissed off and run over obediently!"
Sun Yue said harshly: "Okay! I'll do as you say. This school will give them an extra 30% of their monthly salary. You have to snatch them all over for me!"
"No!" Ding Lai responded confidently, then turned around, called two soldiers, and gave instructions in a low voice.
"Hey! All the brothers who are joining the army, listen up. Our Lord Sun is the junior captain of the First School of the Third Army, and the son of Master Sun Qianwu Pao of Blackstone Town. Lord Sun has said that anyone who joins our First School,
From now on, the monthly salary will be increased by 30%!"
The two soldiers each held a gong, and while ringing it, they shouted loudly to the people who joined the army.
After hearing the words of the two people, in front of Su Le's recruiting point, the crowd gathered in front of him suddenly stopped, and the surprised voices suddenly spread:
"What? A 30% increase in monthly salary? Did I really hear that right?"
"He is actually the son of Lord Sun Qian. According to Lord Sun's status, he can join the regular army!"
"Let's go, let's go quickly. This good thing will be gone if it's too late!"
In an instant, the crowd that had gathered in front of the Suletai disappeared completely, leaving only about twenty skinny young men who looked to be less than sixteen years old.
Hou Shun and others looked at the empty stage in shock, and then they were filled with anger. Hou Shun said angrily: "Boss, they are so abominable, they used such a despicable method to rob our soldiers!"
Su Le was startled, and then laughed and said: "Recruiting has always been based on one's own means. The First School was willing to increase the monthly salary of the soldiers, and they should have done so in the past. Besides, we have more than 20 people here."
Hou Shun looked at the two dozen young men in front of the stand who were even thinner than himself, as if they could be knocked down by a gust of wind. He said with a bitter face: "Boss, they are even weaker than me. They are simply unqualified soldiers."
Su Le shook his head and said: "No, compared to those powerful warriors in their twenties, I am more optimistic about them because they are more malleable."
"Hahahaha, isn't this the hero of our mountain camp, Xiaoxiao Su? You actually came to Blackstone Town to recruit soldiers. What? With your name, you haven't recruited enough people yet? Tsk, tsk, tsk, these soldiers are so bad.
I’ll give you face.”
A burst of wild laughter came from afar, and Sun Yue led a few soldiers from the opposite side in a swaggering manner. Looking at the empty scene at the front door of Suletai, Sun Yue's face was full of pride and sarcasm.
"It turns out to be Master Sun." Su Le smiled faintly and said, "Master Sun used his own money to pay more for the soldiers. This kind of selfless and considerate behavior for his subordinates is really a role model for us!"
Su Leyun's gentle retort made Sun Yue's expression stagnant, and then he snorted coldly: "Huh, it's good that Xiao Xiao Su is self-aware. Don't think that you can't know the heights of the sky and the water in the military camp after a few bad lucks.
, it’s deep.”
The corner of Su Le's mouth curled up, and he said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your advice."
"You!" Sun Yue was furious, but he didn't know how to get angry. His eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly smiled coldly. He turned to the two dozen soldiers in front of Su Letai and said, "You guys, as long as you are willing to join me,
All members of the school team will receive double their salaries!”
The soldiers who had stayed in front of Suletai suddenly had hesitation on their faces. These soldiers came to join the army. Firstly, the barracks had the right to forcibly recruit them. Secondly, they wanted to receive salary and improve their families after joining the barracks.
conditions of.
With 30% of the salary, people can look down upon it and follow their idols, but with double the salary, their families will suffer less!
The two dozen soldiers looked at Sun Yue, then at Su Le, and finally walked towards Sun Yue's recruiting point one by one. Only five people were left in front of Su Le's platform.
Sun Yue stared at the five people fiercely, then turned to look at Su Le, with a smug look on his face, and said: "Hahaha, Xiaoxiao Su, it's not easy for you to come to Blackstone Town. These guys are so skinny.
This school will mercifully give it to you as a waste. However, Xiaoxiao Su, the camp leader has placed high hopes on you. You should work harder on recruiting troops, but don’t push back our third unification.
Ah, hahahaha!"
"You short-sighted guys, follow that bastard to die!" Seeing the soldiers follow Sun Yue one by one, the soldiers of the fifth school looked at each other angrily, and Hou Shun couldn't help but curse.
Seeing Sun Yue's arrogant departure, Su Le shook his head gently, smiled casually and said: "Okay, Monkey, now that you have become the team leader, you have to be more calm. Go and take those five
Register the soldiers and bring them in. In my opinion, the hundreds of people who left are not worth the sum total of these five!"
Hou Shun looked at Su Le with doubts on his face, and while walking towards the five people, he secretly cursed: Can these five scrawny guys who are only at the third level of martial arts disciples compare to those more than 400 people? The boss must be dizzy, right?
However, these five guys are very brave. If they join the military camp in the future, they can be my followers.
Only five soldiers were recruited in Blackstone Town, and there were still more than 200 soldiers short of the full quota of the school team. The fifth school soldier left Blackstone Town with anger on his face, but Su Le did not show any anger or anxiety, and led everyone back to the military camp.
.
Compared with the recruitment of soldiers, he was more in need of candidates for flag commanders and corps commanders. The fifth school suffered heavy casualties in two consecutive battles. Two of the six flag commanders died, and the corps commanders and veterans suffered countless casualties.
number.
One soldier is like a raging army, and a general is like a raging nest. The role of a good general far exceeds his own strength.
Su Le carefully selected the position of corps commander, and even dispersed many veterans of the Blackwater Banner, and finally satisfied the seventy-two corps commanders of the six flags. However, the selection of the flag commander gave Su Le a difficult time.
A flag leader not only requires rich combat experience, but also experience in leading troops and training. His own strength also requires at least the tenth level of martial arts.
For such a request, there is currently not even a single qualified candidate in the fifth school, and Su Le's promotion to a junior school requires one more flag commander.
After careful consideration, Su Le selected two soldiers from the school team who were at the ninth level of martial arts and had performed well in these two battles, and appointed them as the acting flag commanders of the two flag teams. As long as their strength reached the level of martial arts
After ten levels, you can become a regular person.
And if during this period, there are other soldiers in the school team who come from behind, reach the tenth level of martial arts and perform well, they can be replaced as flag captains.
"Zhuzi, you will be the last flag leader, the flag leader of the Blackwater Flag!" Su Le left Li Zhu alone and told him his decision.
Li Zhu was stunned and opened his mouth wide, and said with disbelief: "Boss, boss, you want me to be the flag, flag leader?"
It's not that Li Zhu was shocked, but that Su Le's decision was beyond his imagination. Although he also had lofty goals and was unwilling to be a small soldier all the time, the flag commander... was a tenth-level martial artist.
Only warriors are qualified to do this!
Looking at Su Le's eyes full of trust and encouragement, Li Zhu said in a panic: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to, but I, I..."
Su Le interrupted Li Zhu's words and asked with a smile: "Zhuzi, let's not say that you don't have the ability and qualifications. I just ask you, if you are asked to be the flag commander, do you have the confidence to do a good job as the flag commander?
"
Facing Su Le's serious gaze, Li Zhu gradually calmed down. He had always regarded Su Le as his learning goal. Su Le could step up from a soldier to a primary school in just a few months, why couldn't he?
Although Su Le was far stronger than him, he understood that Su Le's ability to win so many consecutive victories and achieve great military exploits relied more on his wisdom rather than his personal strength.
Didn't the Shang Army's flag commander, primary school commander, and even the powerful martial horse division also die at the hands of Su Le?
This is the opportunity given to him by the boss, and it is also the trust that the boss has in him! Li Zhu's heart gradually surges with passion. He wants to be, and must be, a good flag leader!
Li Zhu nodded heavily and said: "Boss, I have confidence!"
Su Le laughed and said: "Okay, I believe you! From now on, you will be the flag commander of the Blackwater Flag!"
