In fact, Gao Can and Tu Shan only had a light acquaintance, and it was not certain whether they could persuade him to surrender.
But Tushan really wants to show off. At least you should be able to get a certificate of nomination when you first come here, right?
Zhao Jingzi's words just now were meant to encourage him and also to tell him this. But when they met in person, Tushan still felt a little embarrassed.
He glanced at the two "private soldiers" behind him and saw that they were standing more than ten steps away consciously, so he had no choice but to roll off his saddle and dismount.
He vowed to learn to ride a horse after vomiting that day, but the sun was still short and his movements were quite unfamiliar.
He swallowed the foam, put on a smile and returned the gift with his hands: "Brother Gao, when I was under the governor, no, Liaohuazi, Tu was very helpful to you. I'd like to thank you here for seeing you again today!"
After saying that, stand still and sing the fat song seriously.
"Haha, what's the matter? Brother Tu, do you want to be polite before fighting?" Gao Can pursed his lips behind him.
"Uh, where, where." Tushan waved his hand quickly.
"Oh, so they sent you here to recruit you?"
After Gao Can finished speaking, he thrust the iron spear into the soil hard, then jumped off the saddle bridge, took a few steps forward and nodded: "That's it, please tell me. My spear is on the side, brother, don't worry."
"Brother Gao is so upright, how could he do such a thing? It's a joke." After Tushan finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers behind Gao Can and found some familiar faces among them, so he smiled and pointed his riding whip and said loudly:
"Hey, Cousin Mi and Brother Feng, why are you here? Lu Dalang, aren't you from Captain Tao? Oh, I understand. Are you bringing all the people from each team over to you?"
"Yes." Gao Can nodded: "Admiral Liao trusts me. There are only more than 600 in my subordinates, so I will recruit them all for my use."
"Fucking trust!" Tu Shan shook his riding whip and lowered his voice: "I just gave you more human shields. We saw it clearly in the city. They have already run away. If you are left behind, you will be cut off. There are few troops. Of course not."
Gao Can's face became a little ugly after hearing this. He remembered that he was angry just now, and the tone had not yet dissipated in his chest. "Then what do you think we can do? Someone has to take over." He curled his lips.
"So your people deserve to die?"
"Brother Tu, if you want to recruit me, just state your conditions. Don't mess with our military morale with your weird thoughts here! Besides, you're not good at this either."
As soon as Gao Can finished speaking, he heard shouting from behind. When he looked back, he saw a group of men and horses coming from the north wall. There were about five or six hundred people. The man on the blue and white horse at the head was wearing a hundred households' uniform and a blue armor, with a large number of people behind him. On the flag is the character "Yang".
This group of people turned around and began to form a formation, and then stopped a hundred steps away from Gao Can's team.
Gao Can's face changed greatly, he held the iron spear in his hand and said sternly: "It turns out that brother is not here to recruit me, but to attract my attention, but he actually surrounded me from both sides and wanted to eat me!"
After speaking, he jumped back on his horse and shouted at Lei Jisheng, asking him to immediately command his men to form a formation to protect themselves. The soldiers were in a panic. When they saw someone commanding them, they immediately moved and quickly formed a circular formation.
Seeing that he had mounted his horse and picked up his weapon, Yang Yi was so anxious that he reached out to draw his sword, but Zhao Jingzi quickly held him down.
"Oh, listen to what Tu Shan said just now, there are people here from other departments, right? This Gao Can can actually form an formation with such a mixed team, it is quite impressive!" Zhao Jingzi's eyes were filled with excitement. Surprise and excitement.
"I said, Uncle Zhao, the fight is about to start, how can you still be so happy?" Yang Yi said angrily.
"Not busy, not busy." Zhao Jingzi waved his hand and told him, "I don't think this Gao Can really wants to fight."
"Why do you say that?"
"If we really take action, how can he, the general, stay outside? He should join the formation and take charge of the overall situation." Zhao Jingzi snorted and curled his lips:
"Don't worry, as long as Tu Shan is stable and can't fight, the other party is just showing off to scare people with a fierce look and a soft heart! He wants to tell us that he is not easy to mess with, and it doesn't hurt to have a fight if the conditions cannot be negotiated."
After saying that, he sneered and shook his head: "I don't believe how strong a team he can make out of just two days of hurried practice. It's a little smart, but it's comparable to
He's still far behind even though we all inspect him! "
Sure enough, he guessed Gao Can's idea, and Tu Shan, who had seen more battles, also guessed it. He laughed bitterly and said, "Brother, why do you have to act like this? Since the East Gate can send troops, the North Gate can naturally do the same.
Isn't it the right thing to attack your lone army from two directions? Look, that person is Yang Baihu from the army. I was captured by his Pegasus that day.
If they didn't want to get you to talk to each other, both sides would have rushed over and dispersed the team. How would they have given you a chance to calmly form your formation? "
Gao Can looked both ways and snorted. Tu Shan waved to him and asked him to dismount. Gao Can stopped and jumped down again, holding the iron spear in his arms and said reservedly:
"It's not that I don't believe you. The two armies are fighting, but you and I are grinding our teeth here. It looks a bit weird. If I hadn't looked at your face, brother, I wouldn't have believed that they wanted to recruit Anli."
"Recruiting? Who wants to recruit?"
"Huh?" Gao Can immediately raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it because my brother came to be a lobbyist in front of the two armies to recruit peace?"
"Recruitment is a matter only done by the government. The one who surrendered for my brother is the Blue Shirt Team and has nothing to do with the government!"
Gao Can was puzzled: "Is there any difference here?"
"If you are recruited by the government, you will probably be an official, and then the brothers will be disrupted and incorporated into the army; or if you are not disrupted, you will still be with you, and you will live and die for the government.
If someone asks you to go and suppress someone, go and take whatever food and salary they give you, just like Song Jiang. In the future, I might work as an official and part-time job, and if I survive, I can return to my hometown and live on guarding a few acres of land.
As for the brothers, it is a matter of life and death. Do you think what I said is right? "
"Absolutely. Isn't that the case for recruiting people to be safe?" Gao Can nodded.
"Li Sanlang doesn't want this. He hopes that not only the leader, but also all the brothers can be properly arranged. Of course, except for those who have committed murders and have abused the people, the governor will screen them out.
The rest of the brothers who are willing to work as farmers can be assigned to farm land, those who are willing to work can go to factories and mines, those who are willing to learn to do business can be assigned to shops in various places, and those who really have no skills can also work in transport fleets or fleets.
The rule of the Green Shirt Team is to concentrate when on a mission and to serve the people at ordinary times. If there are casualties, there will be pensions. If you are sick, the district captain will send a doctor to see a doctor. Those who win the battle and participate in the war will receive dividends and bonuses based on merit and class... "
He gave a general introduction to the rules of the Qingshirt team that he knew.
Gao Can rubbed his stubbled chin and listened quietly. Later, the police came and asked, "What about the team leader? What will he do to us people?"
"I won't give you an official title, but you will receive a monthly salary based on your grade. If you are assigned actual duties, you will receive additional subsidies. As for dividends and rewards, they all follow the rules. The higher your grade, the more you will get!"
Tushan said: "Like the brothers, whether you want to lead the army, work, or do business is up to you, and we will allocate them according to your merits. For example, they now have horse breeders, brewers, purchasers and transporters, and people who specialize in accounting. There are people who open restaurants.”
"What if I want to open an ironworks workshop and specialize in making weapons?"
Tu Shan smiled: "I think it will work. Did you know? Li Sanlang wants to open an iron smelting yard and is looking for a place. Do you think he can't just make shovels?"
Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone looked around and saw flags and flags fluttering in the north, and ragged carriages and horses.
Then the green-shirted team members on both sides cheered, and a small group of riders quickly left the queue and galloped towards this side. Behind the leader's maroon horse was a green flag with the word "李" embroidered in black in the white moonlight.
"The inspector is here," Tu Shan told him softly.
Li Dan was in good spirits. Although he only slept for a quarter of an hour (half an hour), he did not feel sleepy. Instead, he was in a very excited state. His joy and confidence made him look full of energy.
You must know that this is different from the victory of your regiment on the training ground in the previous life. This is a real victory at your doorstep. It is a great victory in which more than 2,400 enemies were wiped out and 1,600 were captured!
Last night, he led Song Xiaoniu in pursuit westward and fought three battles in Woniu Mountain, Longjiazhou, and Chengjiazhou. He had to throw away the wine trough he had retreated from.
The team behind was in a panic.
It turned out that Cao Manqiu (Jiucaozi) had asked Tao Shou to leave a dozen small boats in the bay branch near Qingxidu, nominally to prepare for emergencies, but in fact he was preparing to escape.
The battle on the southern front went deep into the rear of Yugan, where there was a lack of intelligence and Cao Manqiu didn't know what was going to happen, so sending more than a dozen ships was an instinctive move.
Who knew there was a trap here! Cao Manqi was a veteran. When he saw Liao Huazi's appearance, he was worried that Yu Qian's strategy might be in vain, so he was ready to escape to Huxi.
Why Huxi? One of them didn't want to go back to face Liao Huazi, and the other was that he still didn't doubt the loyalty of the various tribes in Huxi.
Who would have thought that he would find these boats with great difficulty in the large bay, and when he was rowing desperately to the other side with a hundred of his confidants, he heard a whistle and the ambush arrived again.
In shock, he saw that it was the flag of the Song family, and quickly called someone to say hello and said he was one of his own. Unexpectedly, arrows rained down from the opponent, and Cao Manyu cursed loudly, and then he began to suspect that the Huxi group had actually defected to the army.
It is difficult for more than a dozen boats to compete with each other, and with the arrival of the little white eels who saw the rocket coming, the wine trough will suffer another big defeat on the water. Finally, two or three boats docked, and everyone stumbled away.
Wei Xiaohe judged the direction of their escape, and immediately sent people to send fireworks signals to the fleet cruising on the Santang River. The fleet asked Zhang Guisheng's Xiang Yong from Sanjiaxiang to land in Shuangtang, and opened a net to search eastward.
On the other side, a boat came over to pick up Li Dan who had chased him to Qingxi Ferry. Hearing that 20 to 30 enemies had fled to the other side, and that there might be enemy general Jiuchongzi among them, Li Dan immediately led three Shidu River.
Song Xiaoqiao left the fleet in charge of Ren Er and landed with a hundred brothers, following Li Dan all the way westward.
In the process, some stragglers were captured and killed one after another. From what the prisoners pointed out, Li Dan thought that the guy was heading towards Longjin Village.
"He is looking for a boat, and he still has the idea of wandering around the world." Li Dan said to Song Xiaoqiao.
This was the first time he fought side by side with a young master. The two were a little uncomfortable at first, but now they can call themselves brothers.
"Brother Song, if you have more manpower, go search in front and behind the village. I'll take the brothers to the direction of Guanzhou Ferry. How about that?" Li Dan asked.
"Okay, if we find anything, we'll just set off some fireworks!"
The two agreed, and Li Dan took three of his men to the north ferry. Only halfway through, there was a sudden "squeak" sound and fireworks rose from the other side of the village.
Someone said with a smile: "They discovered it so quickly? It seems they are lucky!" Before he finished speaking, another rocket flew up.
Li Dan knew something was wrong, and quickly ordered the two men to continue searching the ferry. He turned the horse's head, followed closely by Mao Zaidi and the other man and ran towards Longjin Village. The two of them were fast and quickly distanced themselves from Nash.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were already fighting. It turned out that this group of people who slipped through the net were really looking for boats. After interrogating them, they found two boats. Just as they were about to lift them out of the reeds, Song Xiaoqiao's people arrived.
When Cao Manyu saw this, he gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed Song Xiaoqiao for eating everything inside and outside. Then both sides started fighting.
Cao Manyu thought they were easy to deal with because he deceived them that they were not official soldiers or green shirt troops. His people are all buddies and veteran bandits. Although they are outnumbered, they can withstand their opponents and not fall behind.
But Cao Manqiu also knew that he could not delay for too long. When he saw the fireworks flying, he panicked. Thinking of catching the thief and the king, he went straight to Song Xiaoqiao. After slashing the two attendants, he pressed Song Xiaoqiao under him and was about to insert the short knife. .
Song Xiaoqiao desperately tried to push his hand away, but he was young and weak. When he couldn't stand it, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded in the distance.
Cao Manqiu turned around and saw Li Dan's Zaoliu horse rushing straight towards him. Song Xiaoqiao took the opportunity to push him away and rolled over to avoid it. Cao Manqiu was about to get up and was knocked away by the Zaoliu horse.
Fortunately, the ground on the river beach was full of mud and sand, so it didn't cause much damage to him. Cao Manqiu got up and stumbled into the boat. Just as he was about to look back for the oar, Song Xiaoqiao flew over and threw him into the river.
Things are different after falling into the water. Cao Manqiu was wearing a cloth face armor and half-length iron armor. After falling into the water, he was not as agile as Song Xiaoqiao. He was quickly
I drank a lot of water.
By the time Song Xiaoqiao dragged the dead pig-like Cao Manqiu ashore, the resisting lake bandits had been eliminated with the help of Shi Shi who arrived.
Mao Zaidi got off his horse and went over to help him drag him along. He joked, "Now the wine trough has been changed into a water jar!"
Several brothers came up and stripped off the bandit's armor and tied him up like a rice dumpling. Li Dan smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Brother, I didn't say anything about this surrender letter. Even my stupid brother admires it!"
Song Xiaoqiao waved his hands, clasped his fists and said, "I was almost taken advantage of by the enemy just now. Thank you very much for the life-saving patrol!"
At this point, Longjin's pursuit was successfully completed. Li Dan returned to the south of the city to eat something to rest his power and took a nap.
Then he ordered Song Xiaoniu to lead his troops back to Baima to rest, ordered two hundred local warriors brought by Gu Da, Liu Hongsheng and Liu En, and took a carriage dispatched from the city to pursue Liao Huazi.
I passed by the northeast wall and saw that the confrontation was still going on here, so I came up to ask.
"Well, this subordinate is clumsy. There are probably some things that I haven't explained clearly." Tu Shan scratched his scalp in embarrassment.
"This is an easy matter, not that complicated." After speaking, Li Dan turned to Gao Can:
"I was recruited by the imperial court, given official posts and salaries, and my soldiers obeyed their orders.
Although I am not given a generous salary, both you and your soldiers can live and work in peace and contentment. I will try my best to use my talents according to my talents, so that I can be as rich and noble as you and help each other for mutual benefit. Wherever you go, you can choose by yourself, without any force.
If you don't surrender, please leave for half a day and I will pursue you again. Anyway, we will meet again in two days. It's just that your soldiers will suffer more casualties. "
After hearing this, Gao Can glanced at Tu Shan, stuck his iron spear on the ground, crossed his hands and said, "Brother Tu has already spoken in great detail just now. In fact, Gao is already moved. I just want to ask for something. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"tell me the story."
"Gao Mou has been fond of weapons since he was a child and wants to do business in this field. He also has a lot of savings at home that can be used as capital, but due to his background, it has been difficult to do so. Can you help me, sir?"
Li Dan laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "What's so difficult about this? Not only will I help you, but you will also be responsible for the weapons department of the Blue Shirt Team from now on. But it's a pity that a general like you won't fight. Occasionally I have to ask How about you going out to lead the troops?"
Gao Can grinned and said, "Just as your Majesty said!" Seeing that the fight was over, the soldiers in the high department immediately cheered.
Li Dan then invited Yang Dayi, Yang Yi, and Zhao Jingzi to meet Gao Can. Since the original camp outside the south gate was being converted into a prisoner camp, he ordered that a small village be built for Gao Can under the Paigangzi, and that the camp be built by Gao Can. Zhong Siqi led the town governors to settle in and start education and screening.
Instruct Yang Dayi to guard the city carefully. At this time, Tan Zhongxiao came out of the city with a large team of mules and carriages. He handed the carriage to Yang Yi's tribe, and he and his men began to search for the remaining enemies around the city.
Li Dan saw that his eyes were bloodshot from staying up late for several days to guard the city, so he asked him to go back and find some tofu to slice and paste on the outside of his eyelids.
"Let's go!" Li Dan got on the horse, and Yang Yibu also got on the carriage: "The celebration banquet will be held tomorrow night. I guess we should be back by then. Tell Liu Er to take out the remaining phoenix milk and don't forget to give it to Xiao Brother Niu, send some over!"
After speaking, Li Dan gently pinched the horse's belly and headed to Yutang Town with Yang Yi and others. Two cavalrymen with spears followed behind, the red tassels on the spearheads being pulled into a straight line by the wind, pointing in the direction of the rear of the chasing group.
