"Mr. Zhao, let's go to the back garden to talk, how about it?" Li Luobei looked at Zhao Rong's face and said with a smile.
Zhao Rong quickly withdrew his mind from being distracted and said with a smile: "Okay!" After that, he turned his head to Zhao Qingshan and said: "Qingshan, go down the mountain immediately and tell Zhao Xiong and the others that things have been completed successfully. Let them wait at the foot of the mountain.
But don't be careless."
"But...but...I want to guard the safety of Lord." Zhao Qingshan hesitated.
"It's okay, I believe that Chief Li will not be untrustworthy, go!"
"All right!"
Li Luobei looked at Zhao Qingshan who was leaving and smiled and said, "Lord Zhao is very careful. Your subordinate is not bad!"
"Exceeding the award! Only by being careful can you live long!" After saying that, he followed Li Luobei into the side door of the hall. What surprised Zhao Rong was that the black-armored boy also followed in.
After Zhao Rong and Li Luobei sat down, Li Luobei asked someone to send tea. Zhao Rong smiled and said, "I wonder what Chief Li wants to tell me?"
Li Luobei said, "Mr. Zhao wants to know why I know your surname is Zhao?"
Without waiting for Zhao Rong to answer, Li Luobei continued, "Half a month ago, I learned that Wohu Mountain was taken down. At that time, I was shocked. Although I was not afraid of the old scar, I wanted to take it.
It would cost a considerable price to go down to his Wohu Mountain. So I secretly sent someone to investigate it in detail. Later I learned that it was a young man who was even more surprised that the young man was only sixteen years old and only rely on it.
Hundreds of people who had never been to the battlefield took it away, and the losses were almost zero."
"Ah!" The black-armored boy standing behind Li Luobei screamed in surprise, looking straight at Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong was unmoved and smiled and said, "Why did Chief Li decide that I am that person?"
Li Luobeidao: "First, many of the soldiers you went up the mountain have had conflicts with my people before. I don't know why I am so disciplined now, standing in place, just like a stone pillar.
, Don't look around, it's very different from before, I think this is your unique training method. Secondly, my brother told me that the soldiers at the foot of your mountain are far less powerful than those at the top of the mountain. Although the formation is very powerful, their strength is
...Obviously, they have not even seen blood."
Zhao Rong put away his smile and said calmly: "Since you think your strength is greater than mine, why would you surrender?"
Li Luobei smiled bitterly and said, "As you said, it is not forced by life, who would like to carry the name of the bandit? Originally, I was a big family not far from the foot of the mountain, but three years ago, the bandits broke through the town and were hit by the town.
The looting, my wife and parents were killed, but my daughter escaped. At that time, I was led by the government troops in Zhengyang County, Yingzhou. After hearing this, I took my brothers to pull him up.
A group of people killed that group of bandits. For the sake of this, we violated the military law and were famous for being the soldiers of the palace. In the end, we settled our home in this Wild Boar Ridge."
"Oh, this is also why Chief Li didn't harm his neighbors."
"The ordinary people have nothing to be worthy of harm. Apart from punishing some wealthy and unkind landlords, we rarely invade the places. We use some of them, except those of the landlords, and some of them are self-reliant and some of them are from buying and selling cattle and sheepskin goods. We go to the northern tribes.
Purchase fur cattle and sheep and sell them to merchants in Youzhou to earn the difference.”
Zhao Rong said after a while: "You are so great to be a bandit!"
Li Luobei ignored Zhao Rong's joke and continued: "There are three reasons that really make me willing to surrender. One is that we are not far away as bandits. Except for dozens of them here, the rest are
They are all people who have escaped from nearby towns, and I want to consider them for their future. Secondly, I admire your military training method. I was surprised that these unruly bandits turned into strict disciplined soldiers in more than ten days.
, I believe you will have a good future in the future. My brothers will surrender to your command, and I believe they will be better. Third, I know the crossbows, round shields and long swords of your subordinates."
Zhao Rong, who was originally indifferent, heard this and immediately said, "What? Then..."
"The people who attacked the soldiers and horses, Su Yun, have looked for us and hoped that we would help, but I didn't agree!" Li Luobei looked at Zhao Rong and said. "They are only willing to pay..."
Zhao Rong laughed and said, "So that's it. I asked why Chief Li directly agreed to my persuasion to surrender? It turned out that he was afraid of being retaliated!"
"What did you say?" The black-armored boy pointed at Zhao Ruo and shouted angrily, holding a long knife at his waist, like a female lion protecting a calf, preparing to fight with Zhao Ruo.
"Lan'er!" Li Luobei scolded softly.
The black-armored boy turned his head to the side angrily. When he turned his head, he glared at Zhao Rong fiercely. Zhao Rong responded to him and smiled calmly.
"snort!"
Li Luobei smiled helplessly at Zhao Rong and said, "Ten days ago, a man in black came to Daoshiba and said he wanted to do a business with me, and bought a head of 500,000 taels. Although I was moved at that time
But considering whether this head worth 500,000 taels is easy to get, he responded and said that he would discuss with his brothers and reply in three days. On that day, I sent my brothers who were outside, but the next day we were doing business.
After the message, the whereabouts of the Left Army Envoy in Yanzhou were assassinated and his whereabouts were unknown. I immediately understood who the other party was going to buy for 500,000 yuan. I also understood the other party's sinister intentions. I obviously treated us as a knife envoy. If I agreed, I would agree.
, don’t talk about money, you can’t even save your life.”
"You rejected the other party! I now understand why your entire copycat is extremely serious."
"Yes, I rejected the other party, but the man in black showed his identity directly, which was the token of Yanzhou Duwei Mansion. If you don't know who we need to kill, maybe based on the other party's identity,
I took it, but what they were going to kill was the commander of the government soldier. Can we get involved? He only gave me 500,000 taels of silver, but there was no other guarantee. To be honest, when you didn't come
, I'm still thinking about the way out of my brothers!"
Zhao Rong felt that he had been used and smiled bitterly: "How do you know that we can protect our safety by surrendering."
Li Luobeidao: "I don't know how the Left Army and Horse Envoy of Yanzhou will be mingled with you, but as long as you stand behind you who compete with the Yanzhou Commander, at least we are not afraid of the open encirclement of the Yanzhou Prefecture soldiers.
.What? Lord Zhao dare not accept us?" He said the word Lord very seriously, meaning that we are in your hands, so you won't have the courage to ask for it.
Zhao Rong laughed and said, "As long as you dare to come, I will dare to accept it. I can kill the private army of Yanzhou Commander who is 300, and I have already faced him, so will I be afraid of him?"
"What? You've already fought?" Li Luobei asked in surprise.
Only then did Zhao Rong tell the story of Su Yun and the Black Knight.
"A fierce man!" After hearing Zhao Rong's story, Li Luobei sighed. The black-armored boy also opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhao Rong.
Grass! You are a man, why are you looking at me like this? Zhao Rong was unnaturally looked at by the black-armored boy. The black-armored boy also saw that Zhao Rong's face became unnaturally, and thought that he was staring at the other party so much.
, It was really rude, and he quickly turned his head and his white little face turned red.
Zhao Rongyou and Li Luobei talked for a while, and Zhao Rong suddenly asked, "I see that many of your subordinates are equipped with armor, I don't know where they came from."
"These are all purchased by brothers from Youzhou. Two years ago, when the imperial court established a rebel army, it was strictly forbidden for the rebel army to wear armor and crossbows. But now, even merchants from all over the country are casting armor privately and selling it to rebel army in various places or
Private Army. I only have more than one hundred."
"Chief, we have arranged it and can set off at any time. We have taken away some convenient things, and we have given them to the people of the towns and towns at the foot of the mountain. The homeless maids in the village are willing to follow us.
"The five big men who went out half an hour ago returned to the backyard to report, "More than 800 brothers, more than 200 people joined the army and fought again, and the remaining more than 570 people continued to follow us."
Li Luobei turned his head and looked at Zhao Rong and said, "Sir Zhao, see what to do, the entire parody is obeying your order."
Zhao Rong did not refuse and said loudly: "You five, bring the people who are willing to follow us, and immediately follow the soldiers at the foot of the mountain to Wohu Mountain, with all the food, weapons, livestock and war horses.
Take away. If your soldiers and families are willing to leave, take them away. When we arrive at the foot of Wohu Mountain, we will provide seeds and farm tools to help them build new houses. In addition, all the defensive weapons in this village are destroyed. If the village is
There are other intersections, so there is no need to deal with this abandoned village. If there is only the intersection in front, then set fire to the village. Also, you don’t need to leave the sentry that stays in the nearby towns, so stay here for
Let's get the news."
Li Luobei Road: "There are other paths in this village!"
"Then there is no need to dismantle it, keep it. If others come in a day and occupy this place and fight against us, we can take advantage of the situation and raid."
Li Luobei said to the five people: "Why are you still standing there? You still don't obey the military orders of Lord Zhao! From today on, you will all obey Lord Zhao."
The five of them clasped their fists at Zhao Rong and said, "I will obey the order!"
Zhao Rong then felt relieved. At least his goal had been basically achieved, but it would take some time to fully integrate these people.
After the five people left, Zhao Rong couldn't help asking, "Forgive me for being rude, why did Chief Li so simply hand over your brother to me?"
Li Luobei sighed and said, "One, I am not the one who used to be able to chop and kill, and I am not suitable to take them with me; Second, I don't let go, and you don't feel at ease.
;Three, I want you to treat these people equally; in the end, I also want to consider my daughter, not to hurt her because of me.”
