Chapter 145 The Investor

Just two days after Xing Tianjun's Army Day, when Xiao Tianjian was preparing his troops and was about to cross the mountain and attack Yuanqu, this matter had to be put on hold again because of an accident.

Xiao Tianjian unexpectedly received a message from Jiang Cheng sent by Jiang Cheng, who was stationed in the west of Yangcheng. He said that several poles suddenly appeared in the western mountains. There were six companies. The number of people who were not led by anyone varies. There were three or four hundred people and only dozens of people. They tried to enter the boundary of Yangcheng, which had been blocked by Jiang Cheng. In the area of the mountain pass, there was no conflict between the two sides. The palm plates of the six-way poles all asked Jiang Cheng to see Xiao Tianjian and said that they wanted to turn to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian was not surprised when he received the news, because almost at the same time when Jiang Cheng sent back the news, Li Shuanzhu, who was stationed in Hexi Village in the north of Yangcheng, also sent back the news, saying that the two poles were chased by the officers and soldiers in Qinshui County and fled to the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army and led by Li Shuanzhu. The soldiers controlled it, and the two poles also made demands to see Xiao Tianjian and lead the crowd to Xiao Tianjian.

For such a situation, it should also be expected. After all, there are many bandits everywhere in this world, and there are no living. As long as someone shakes his arm, he will shout. If he is small, he will gather in the mountains and forests as the king, specializing in cutting paths to rob money, rob families and houses, and tying some meat tickets to extort money. And the powerful, such as Gao Yingxiang and others, are called the Rebels, and the siege sweeps thousands of miles.

Needless to say, the big forces are almost concentrated in Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi and the enemy, but the poles of small forces are everywhere, often in a state and county, there are as many stocks, and the government is powerless to suppress as long as they do not do too much, they often let it go.

So under normal circumstances, most of these small poles are small rich. They are satisfied with eating, drinking and sleeping with women. The vast majority of people don't have the idea of ambition. They just want to spend a day for a day and make some fortune in troubled times.

The impact of the Xingtian Army in the battle in the north of Zezhou this time did not only affect the local power of Yangcheng and the Xingtian Army. After the defeat of the official army in Zezhou, although Shanxi Buzheng Department did not have the power to mobilize the army to suppress the Xing Tian Army in a short period of time, it still instructed the states and counties in the south of Shanxi to strengthen it. The elimination of local bandits and the mobilization of troops to prevent the Xingtian Army and continue to expand their sphere of influence. In this way, unlike the rapid progress of the Xingtian Army, some small poles in the surrounding states and counties have been destroyed. The government governments in various places can't deal with the Xingtian Army in Yangcheng, but they can deal with their local ones. In order to fool the peak, the government of the surrounding states and counties mobilized soldiers and organized the township to vigorously encircle and suppress their local small poles. As a result, not long after, many well-lived small poles were annihilated by the government. Even if they escaped by chance, they were chased by chickens and dogs. You can't jump in panic all day long.

This is also a reason why so many small poles flocked into the boundary of Yangcheng, because they were really beaten by the surrounding government and had no place to run away, so they remembered the reason of taking advantage of the cool under the big tree. At present, all the poles also learned about the defeat of the Yangcheng Xingtian Army, and basically They controlled the area of Yangcheng, so they took their defeated soldiers and fled into the boundary of Yangcheng, wanting to turn to the Xingtian Army and seek the shelter of the Xingtian Army.

After hearing these news, Xiao Tianjian had to temporarily put off the matter of sending troops to Yuanqu for a few days. He just sent Luo Li to lead a group of craftsmen and some local hunters to the northwest and go into the mountain to find a channel for Xing Tianjun to send troops to Yuanqu, for The next step is to lay the foundation for sending troops.

And he invited Fu Deming, Yan Chongxi, Shi Ran and others to discuss how to deal with these poles.

After listening to what Xiao Tianjian said, Yan Chongxi smiled and said, "This is a good thing! In the past, our Xing Tianjun was not very famous, and not many people came to join us. Now so many people come to join us. Of course, it's a good thing! In my opinion, the general can accept them as much as possible!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded slightly, but did not immediately make a statement. He turned his head and asked Fu Deming what he thought of this matter. Fu Deming stroked his beard and frowned slightly, "Although this is a good thing. Take them, we Xing Tianjun can grow as soon as possible, but as far as I know, people among these poles can be said. It's good and bad. It can be said that all of them are outlawless and lawless. Once you join the Xingtian Army, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, but if you don't accept them, you're afraid that there will be too many enemies in the future, which is difficult to do!"

What Fu Deming said is the same as what he didn't say. Xiao Tianjian is quite dissatisfied, but at present, things are here, and it is not a way not to solve it. So after thinking about it, he still made up his mind and said, "Anyway, since these people have come to us, we can't turn them away, but we You can make some conditions. If they agree, they can stay. If they don't want to, then don't blame us for not giving them face! Let's just go and meet them!"

So on that day, Xiao Tianjian set out and took Yan Chongxi's sentry to Qiaojiazhuang in the north of the county. When their group arrived at Qiaojiazhuang, they really saw a lot of poles gathered in the area of Qiaojiazhuang. Among these poles, there were men, women and children. Obviously, there was no place for these people to be chased by the government. He escaped and even brought his family with him.

When he heard that Xiao Tianjian, the head of Xing Tianjun, arrived at Qiaojiazhuang in person, the palm plates of all kinds of poles gathered here were invited into the Zhuangzi by Jiang Cheng.

This time, there are six poles here. The leaders of each pole have entered Qiaojiazhuang. Xiao Tianjian also set up several banquets in the yard of a large family in the village to entertain the leaders of these poles from all walks of life.

After these people self-declared their names, Xiao Tianjian knew the name of the palm plate of the six-way poles. The largest pole among them, nicknamed the mountain leopard, was Lu Tianqing. It was originally a rich family in the Jishan area, but under the early drought, his family was also declared bankrupt, so he entangled with a group of people. After so many years, he has been in the business of robbing homes and houses. After so many years, his subordinates have been netting nearly a thousand people, and he has even attacked Jishan County. Later, if he failed to succeed, he avoided the mountains around Jishan. In recent years, he has repeatedly escaped from the siege of the government and suppressing of Jishan, which is quite famous. Unfortunately, it is This time, the Pingyang government mobilized thousands of local officers and soldiers and villagers to enter the mountain to suppress. The good days of crossing the mountain leopard finally came to an end. They were defeated in several battles, and their men fled to death. There were only more than 300 people left. They had to escape from Jishan County and fled here cautiously all the way, wanting to turn to Xiao Tianjian.

And the rest of the poles are basically the same as that of the mountain leopard. Some are in the area of Wanrong, some are in the area of Xiezhou, and some are in the area of Wenxi County. In short, these people have nowhere to go recently and have to give up their original territory. He ran to the boundary of Yangcheng and turned to Xiao Tianjian, hoping that Xiao Tianjian could take them in.

After Xiao Tianjian understood the whereabouts of these people and the number of their subordinates, he said to these people here, "Xiao is not talented. He is really lucky to get your help! Since you are here to vote, how can I turn you out? As long as you stay, I, Xiao, can ensure the safety of you and your family, and I will never let you suffer!

But there are some words that Xiao also have to say in the front. I, Xing Tianjun, act quite differently from you. Since the beginning of becoming an army, Xing Tianjun has set up various rules. It can be said that the military discipline is strict. I'm afraid that you will feel quite inconvenient after you join our Xingtian Army! Therefore, since you are sincere, as long as you stay, you will be my brother Xiao in the future. What you do will follow the rules of my Xing Tianjun! If you can do it, it's not a problem for you to stay. I will treat you as your brothers and treat you equally!"

The mountain leopard then put down the wine bowl and said carelessly to Xiao Tianjian, "What Xiao Da's housekeeper said is reasonable. If there are no rules, we can't make a circle. When we come to Xiao's house, we should naturally follow Xiao's instructions! But please ask Xiao to speak more clearly so that I can have a clear understanding in my heart?

"Okay! To tell you the truth, Xiao just briefly inspected your men outside Zhuang and said something unpleasant. With the performance of your men, it can never meet the requirements of our army. Presumably, you have led the army before, and few of them practiced against you! Therefore, if you want to join our army, you must first make some choices. Only those who are selected can work in our army! For the old and the weak, I will give them fields for farming and ensure that they have no worries about their livelihood!

But this is not the only way. You should know that our Xingtian Army governs the army very strictly. Anyone who joins our Xingtian Army, unless it is a special case, needs to enter the new barracks to receive new recruits training. Only after passing the training of new soldiers can they be uniformly allocated and arranged to work in all departments!

I, Xing Tianjun, have always relied on their own military achievements regardless of seniority, and all promotions. Therefore, even if you are famous men in the past, if you want to be a general in my Xingtian Army, you should be promoted by virtue of your military achievements, instead of leading your original subordinates!

This is also the most basic condition for me to take you in! If you are willing, then I, Xiao, raise my hands to welcome your brothers into the army, but if you don't agree, please forgive me that Xiao can't complete you!" Xiao Tianjian then made his offer.

After listening to this, the leaders of these poles all looked at each other. People like them used to merge with each other. Generally speaking, no matter who they go to, at least with the people in their hands, they can also be the leader, or bring their own subordinates. If they get along well, then Follow the instructions of the big boss and do things. If you can't get along, you can take the troops away at any time to set up another mountain.

But listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, it didn't seem to mean that, so a one-eyed man immediately narrowed his one-eyed eye and asked Xiao Tianjian, "If I say so, if I follow Xiao Tianjian, then my brothers will break up. Do you want to be a big soldier? How can this work? Think of my one-eyed hail, and I was also a famous figure in the Fushan area. Who doesn't give me face anywhere? Don't you think it's too much to bully others when Xiao is so thin to me?
