Seeing that they were about to lose their support, Yang Peng shouted: "Don't hurt them, catch them alive!" The four secret guards immediately got out of the battle ring, untied the ropes hanging from their waists and threw them out, trapping the four people. Stopping, the four people's hands were immediately restrained. The other secret guards quickly stepped forward and put their swords on their necks, and the four people were captured without any help.
The big man struggled and said angrily: "You don't follow the moral principles of the world, and you still use tricks to win with many people!" Yang Peng laughed. Zhao Jinxi smiled and said: "This person is really interesting!" The big man looked behind Yang Peng and saw several beautiful beauties with slim figures, picturesque features and different styles. He was immediately stunned and couldn't help but murmured : "What beautiful girls!" Only then did he notice several women standing behind Yang Peng.
A female guard next to him slapped him hard and yelled: "Keep your mouth clean!" The big man was furious, stared and yelled: "My mouth is not clean!" The female guard continued to slap him. Yang Peng said loudly: "Calm down, calm down, this man just praised my wife." The big man looked at Yang Peng, "You are a sensible person!"
Yang Peng laughed and asked: "Brother, what's your name?" The big man was about to answer, but the goatee behind him quickly kicked the big man. The big man glared angrily and said: "Boy, you took the wrong medicine. ? Why are you kicking me?" The goatee glanced at the smiling Yang Peng, and whispered to the big man: "Don't talk nonsense." The big man didn't understand what it meant at all, and didn't take it to heart. He turned to Yang Peng and said, "Can I change my name?" If you don't change your surname, your surname will be Wang and Hai!" Goatee shook his head and sighed, "It's over, it's over! We're dead!" Wang Hai asked angrily: "What do you mean?"
Yang Peng laughed and said: "What he means is that you, a big pirate, have a great reputation. Once you say it, no one will know it!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "You have some knowledge." Yang Peng said loudly: "Take them Take them back." The secret guards immediately escorted the four pirates towards the left-behind mansion, with Yang Peng and the others following behind. Entering the gate of Liushou Mansion, Goatee frowned and said: "This boy seems to be an important person under the general's command!" Then he complained to Wang Hai: "I said, brother, can't you be less honest? Now we are in the government. In his hands, I'm afraid it's doomed!" Wang Hai glared and said: "I'll die at most, so what's there to be afraid of! My second brother, can you stop being such a coward?" Goatee just sighed.
The four people were escorted into the lobby. After waiting for a while, Yang Peng walked in. By this time, his fairy-like wives and concubines had disappeared. Four people stared at him. Yang Peng stood in front of the four of them, looked them over, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what punishment you will be punished for being a pirate?" The female pirate glared and said: "Kill if you want, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Yang Peng chuckled, "You woman's temper is really annoying!" Goatee asked quickly: "Are you under the general's command?" Jiang Li, the female guard captain standing aside, shouted: "Are you under the general's command?" General, speak!" The four of them were startled. The female pirate's eyes widened and she asked loudly in an unbelievable tone: "Are you the General Yulin who defeated the Liao people and recaptured the eight states of Yanyun?!"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Yes." The female pirate looked Yang Peng up and down, feeling incredible.
Goatee came to his senses and said quickly: "Since he is a famous general, he must not be unreasonable, right?" Yang Peng retreated to the upper steps, sat down on the steps, and asked with a smile: " What reason do you want to argue with me?" Goateebeard immediately said: "Although we are pirates, we have never robbed merchant ships from these eight states since the general recaptured Yanyun. The general shouldn't punish us!" Wang Hai said angrily: "Why should a man be afraid of death, why should he ask for mercy!" Goat Beard said: "Brother, being reasonable does not mean asking for mercy! If the general insists on killing us without being reasonable, then what? Just dying will not damage our prestige!" Wang Hai felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded, looked at Yang Peng, and said loudly: "That's the truth, how do you want to deal with us?"
Yang Peng didn't answer but asked: "Why did you take the risk to come to Shangjing?" Wang Hai thought without even thinking: "There is a shortage of food in the water village, we are here to buy food!" Goatee pulled Wang Hai's clothes from behind. Wang Hai threw the sleeves away and glared, "What are you doing?" Goatee sighed.
Yang Peng smiled, "How many people are there in your water village?" Wang Haigang was about to answer, but suddenly realized something, and asked with bulging eyes: "Why are you asking these?" Yang Peng said with a smile, "Don't you tell me? How many people, how can I prepare food for you?" The four people looked surprised and thought they had heard wrong. Wang Hai asked loudly: "You want to give us food?"
Yang Peng said: "I heard that most of the members of your water village are from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. As Yanyun's left-behind, I have the responsibility to take care of them." The four people looked at Yang Peng in disbelief. Hai stammered: "You, what you said is true?" Yang Peng stood up and smiled: "Do I look like I'm joking?" After a pause, "According to my intelligence, your water village On Changshan Island, there are more than ten thousand people living on the entire Changshan Island, five to six thousand of them are pirates, and the rest are your family members, all old, weak, women and children. I will give you fifty thousand shi of food, which is enough for you for half a year. That’s it.”
Plop! Wang Hai suddenly knelt down, and the other three people also knelt down. Wang Hai burst into tears and said: "General, I, I thank you!" Yang Peng helped the four of them up, "It doesn't have to be like this, this is what I should do!" He glanced at the four of them and said, "Being a pirate does not last long. What a plan! Do you want to continue like this?"
The four people showed helplessness, and Wang Hai said: "General, we are not born thieves. If we can be good people, who will become robbers! There is really no way, we can't live without being robbers!"
Yang Peng nodded, "I can understand." He glanced at the four of them and said, "If I invite you to join me, will you be willing?" The four of them were stunned, and the female pirate asked in disbelief: "Are you willing to join me?" We pirates become subordinates?" "Of course! In my eyes, you are much more admirable than those officials in the officialdom!"
Brother and sister Wang Hai were very excited, the sixth child was also eager to try, and Goatee asked cautiously: "What if, what if we don't agree?" Yang Peng laughed, "If you don't want to, you can leave now! As for the food, tell me a location and I will send someone to deliver it! You only need to agree to one condition, which is not to kill innocent people indiscriminately or plunder merchant ships in the Central Plains."
The four of them were impressed by Yang Peng's magnanimity. Wang Hai clasped his fists and said, "The General is indeed a man. I am willing to give my life to the General!" Lao Liu and the female pirate also clasped their fists and said, "We are willing too!" Only Goatee did not express his position. All three people looked at him. Wang Hai said angrily: "Second brother, aren't you willing?"
Goatee hurriedly said: "The general is so broad-minded, so the villain is naturally willing to serve! But, just..." Goatee showed worry. Yang Peng felt that there was something hidden, and smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Yes. The villain is not worried about anything else, but the third and fourth children. The general may not know something, but these two were originally the leaders of another group of pirates. A year ago, they fought with us. The first and second masters of that group of pirates became the current third master and fourth master after they were defeated by us."
Yang Peng nodded, "I have heard about this." Goatee continued: "The two of them are different from us. They are cruel and greedy by nature, and they are disobedient. The villain is worried that they will not be willing to surrender to the general. ."
The female pirate said angrily: "I said at the beginning that I would kill them all to avoid future troubles, but you just didn't listen! As a result, they have caused me so much trouble in the past year or so, and there is no peace on the island!" Wang Hai frowned and said: "They were begging for mercy so pitifully, but they couldn't do it!" The female pirate snorted.
Yang Peng thought for a moment, "That means there are no problems except for the two of them, right?" Goatee nodded. Yang Peng said: "Let's go back and talk about this matter. It's good if they are willing. If they are not willing, just let them leave." The four people nodded, and Goatee said: "That's the only way we can do it."
Yang Peng said: "But you must be prepared for the worst. If they try to take drastic action, you must not be lenient." Goatee quickly said to Wang Hai: "What the general said is absolutely true. You must not have the intention to harm others. It's essential to be on guard against others! It would be great if we can talk things over easily, but if they insist on jumping around, we can't be soft-hearted!" Wang Hai frowned and nodded.
Yang Peng said to the secret guards next to him: "Give them back their weapons." The secret guards immediately handed the weapons back to the four of them. The four people got their weapons back and were very happy. Yang Peng glanced at the four of them, "I only know Wang Hai's name for you guys, what are the other names?"
Wang Hai quickly pointed to his goatee, "This is our military advisor, Wang Gu. He was originally a poor scholar from Zhuozhou." Wang Gu clasped his fists and bowed: "The villain Wang Gu pays homage to the general." Yang Peng nodded. Wang Hai pointed at the big man he called Lao Liu, "That's the sixth master of our water village, Sun Chao." Sun Chao also paid homage to Yang Peng, and Yang Peng nodded in response. Wang Hai finally pointed at his sister and said with a smile: "This is my sister, the seventh head of the water village, Wang Rong." Wang Rong hugged Yang Peng's fists, and Yang Peng smiled slightly.
Wang Haidao: "We have a total of seven heads in the water village. The third is called Li Qian, the fourth is called Fang Kui, and the fifth is called Cao Jin. The fifth is also our good brother." Yang Peng nodded and said to the four of them: "When you come here, you will become my navy commander. My navy commander is Lu Hu. I also have a navy deputy commander named Guan Shan. Wang Hai, you are the other navy deputy commander. Everyone else is in the navy." General." The four of them thanked him with great joy.
At this time, there were footsteps at the door. The four people turned to look at the door and saw two tough men walking in from the outside. They couldn't help but guess. Those who came were Yang Peng sent someone to call them just before they entered. The people clasped their fists together and bowed: "Eldest brother summons the younger brother, what are your instructions?"
Yang Peng pointed at Wang Hai and the four people and asked the two of them: "Do you know who they are?" The two of them looked at Wang Hai and the four people, and felt a kind feeling in their hearts for no reason, and shook their heads. Yang Peng smiled and said: "The big man in front is the very famous Wang Hai on the sea!" When the two heard that it was Wang Hai, their eyes widened in surprise. Lu Hu quickly asked: "Could it be, it's the sea shark?" The leader of the gang?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's not him!"
Lu Hu was overjoyed and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "I have heard about the reputation of the master for a long time, but I have never had a chance to see him. I didn't expect to see him today!" Wang Hai smiled boldly, clasped his fists and asked, "I still don't know what to call the two brothers?" When someone announced their names, Wang Hai's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Are the two brothers the commanders of the navy of the general?" Lu Hu nodded. Wang Hai was very happy.
Yang Peng said to Lu Hu: "Wang Hai is now also the deputy commander of the navy, and his brothers are generals in the navy." Lu Hu was very happy. Yang Peng smiled and said: "You are all experts on the water. You must have a lot to say. Why don't you find a restaurant to talk while eating and drinking." Everyone was very excited. Lu Hu clasped his fists and said: "Then I will leave. "Wang Hai and the others also clasped their fists and said, "You villain, please leave." Yang Peng nodded. A group of them put their arms around each other and walked outside while talking enthusiastically.
Yang Peng looked at their backs and smiled, turned around and left the hall from behind the screen in the hall. The next morning, Wang Hai and others came to visit Yang Peng again and expressed their desire to go back and end the water village immediately. Yang Peng said: "The location of Changshan Island is very important. Don't give up. Just adapt it on the spot. I think Changshan Island will become an important base for our navy in the future." Wang Hai and others were very happy. Changshan After all, I have lived on Shandao for so long, and I really feel reluctant to leave.
Yang Peng said: "Fifty thousand shi of grain and fifty thousand taels of reward silver have been prepared. In addition, there are also five thousand sets of military uniforms and weapons. Since you are the navy, we will not equip you with armor." Wang Hai and others were very moved. Hai clasped his fists excitedly and said, "The general has treated us so kindly. We have nothing to say. We can only repay the general with our lives!" Several other people nodded vigorously.
Yang Peng pointed to the plate armor of General Bintie draped on the seven dummies next to him, "This is your armor." The four of them glanced at it, their eyes lit up, and they were eager to try it. Chen Xiao pointed to the seven female guards holding swords on the other side, "These seven swords are also given to you." The four people looked over quickly and saw four well-made swords in the hands of the seven female guards. All excited.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Put them all on." The four people responded, quickly took off their coats and weapons, put on the armor with the help of the four female guards, and then took the sword. The four of them kept looking at themselves, and they were extremely excited. Wang Hai's smile looked a little silly.
Yang Peng smiled and pointed to the seven documents on the desk: "This is your official certificate." The four people hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up. When Wang Hai saw the official certificate written on it, it said seven deputy commanders of Yanyun Navy. When writing big words, I giggled. Yang Peng pointed at Qian Letian standing aside, "This is our chief executive of Yanyun, Qian Letian." The four people clasped their fists in greeting, and Qian Letian returned the salute with a smile.
Yang Peng said: "You will follow him to collect food and military uniforms and weapons later." Then he pointed at Zhang Daniu, "This is one of my guard captains. He will follow you back to Changshan Island. If something unexpected happens, he will I can help you." Zhang Daniu clasped his fists and said: "General, I will be at the disposal of the deputy commander!" Wang Hai quickly returned the salute and said to Chen Xiao with some embarrassment: "He is the captain of the general's guard. What will happen to the general? Dare to use it!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is my order, you can rest assured. They will not stay on Changshan Island forever. They will come back after Changshan Island stabilizes. Okay, do you have anything else? Is there anything you need or don’t understand?”
Wang Hai looked at Wang Gu, who shook his head. Wang Hai cupped his fists towards Yang Peng and said: "No more, I will retire!" Yang Peng nodded, so Wang Hai, Zhang Daniu and Qian Letian left the hall, followed by several secret guards holding several pieces of armor. Before evening that day, a secret guard came to report that Wang Hai and his party and the fleet transporting food supplies had set off.
The next morning, Yang Peng, fully clothed, led several secret guards on horseback to a military camp outside the city. This military camp is located in a hidden valley southwest of Shangjing. It is small in scale, but it is more heavily guarded than other military camps. There are sentries on guard at the entrance of the valley. No one can enter the valley without the general's order.
Yang Peng ascended the general commanding platform, and the war drums rumbled loudly. The silent military camp immediately resounded with the roar of iron hooves, and countless cavalry in black clothes, black armor, and black cloaks quickly gathered from all directions! Like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, there is no noise except the roar of iron hooves.
The two thousand warriors gathered quickly and lined up neatly in front of the general's platform. These two thousand war cavalry are very unique. Compared with other cavalry, the war horses are taller and the knights are more majestic. They are wearing special black soft armor to protect their torso, with ferocious Pixiu shoulder pads on their shoulders, and black embroidery hanging on the back. He wears a white roaring Pixiu cape, a Pixiu helmet on his head, and his face is almost covered by a black scarf, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that make people feel chilled; he holds a black iron horse in his hand, and wears a black turban on his waist. He is carrying a waist knife, and a special cavalry crossbow and arrow bag are hung on the saddle. It is a steel crossbow specially made for cavalry. It is small and can be quickly wound with the help of stirrups. Its arrow track is not above the crossbow. In the middle, there is a circular tunnel, which can ensure that the crossbow arrows will not fall off on the bumpy horseback.
This unique war horse looks like a group of wolves sharpening their claws, exuding a terrifying aura that makes people palpitate. Yang Peng looked at the war horse in front of him, nodded involuntarily, and glanced at the officer next to him, who immediately raised his right hand and made a fist. Two thousand war cavalry quickly started and rushed out of the military camp. Under the guidance of the officer, Yang Peng quickly climbed to the high watchtower next to the commander's platform.
I saw two thousand war cavalry flying towards the scarecrows of hundreds of sizes in the north of the valley like a dark cloud. The distance of 500 meters was reached in an instant. The speed was much faster than the light cavalry! The hundreds of warriors at the front quickly pulled out the crossbow strings, skillfully loaded the crossbow arrows, and fired at the scarecrows. A black shadow flew out, and the scarecrows were hit head-on. Many scarecrows were hit by powerful arrows. Shoot to the ground.
The hundreds of knights who finished shooting quickly turned to the left, and the knights behind them immediately followed and continued to shoot. This was repeated. After all the two thousand knights finished shooting, all the scarecrows turned into hedgehogs! Two thousand warriors quickly gathered into a wedge-shaped charge formation within a very small radius in a very short period of time, straightened their iron horses, let out an earth-shattering roar, and surged towards the scarecrow. When the smoke and dust dissipated, the hundreds of scarecrows that were originally standing were trampled to pieces and turned into a piece of straw spread on the ground. It is conceivable that if a person stood in front of them, their flesh and bones would be turned into mud by this time. ! This kind of impact power almost catches up with the armored heavy cavalry!
Yang Peng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! This is the army I want! As fast as the wind, as swift as fire!"
What kind of army is this? It turns out that these two thousand warriors are the Xuanjia Army that Yang Peng has secretly trained for a long time by combining ancient and modern methods. At this moment, no one can imagine that in the years to come, this Xuanjia Army will make everyone tremble, and the sudden black cloud will become a nightmare for all forces who dare to confront the Yanyun Army! When the clouds rise and Pixiu appears, the mountains and rivers are shocked! This warrior is destined to become a legend!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
