Lin Yi was not surprised by this. When he first recruited troops, the reputation of Ying Tianjun had not yet spread. This was the case in many villages.
As for these days, as fame spreads, such things are rare.
After that, Lin Yi and others did not enter the stockade. They just piled up food at the entrance of the stockade and formed a simple recruitment office.
Thousands of kilograms of grain are actually not too much to accumulate. But when the mountain people knew that as long as they joined the army, they could take away three hundred kilograms of grain on the spot, many mountain people immediately became uneasy.
On the other side, the few mountain people who led the way were still chatting with some older mountain people from Sanshui Village, telling them about various things that had happened in their village recently.
During the conversation, several younger mountain people soon couldn't restrain their curiosity and asked them whether the legend of General Yingtian was true and whether he really had flesh. Mountain, grain mountain.
In response, several mountain people who led the way just pointed to their cheeks and said, if it weren't for the mountains of meat and food, how could they not be hungry and lose weight in the winter, but gain weight instead.
He also said that in the summer and autumn, he, his mother-in-law, and children helped the general tan the leather and sew winter clothes during the off-season. Not only did he earn a lot of meat, he even used the leftover scraps. , and put together a thick outfit for his mother-in-law.
This time, he immediately attracted the envy of many mountain people.
There were also mountain people with more flexible minds who immediately asked more curiously, "tanning leather is a very complicated job. How can you do it well if you don't know anything about it?" ! And this kind of skill is a secret that is not passed down. Usually, only sons, or apprentices who have taken care of themselves until they die, can be taught. How could it be passed on to you? !
The man immediately answered with a smile. Tanning leather is divided into many steps. A group of people only need to learn one step. As long as they are not fools, they can learn it in half a day.
As for secrets that are not passed down, there are no secrets that are not passed down. Under the rule of the general, you can learn whatever you want, whether it is tannery, carpentry, or blacksmithing, and you don't need to be treated like an animal.
If you study well, you can join the military. When the time comes, you can directly receive military merit when you start working again.
It's just that I don't have the spirituality. Yang Shitou, the man in our village, has now become a master craftsman and has begun to teach other people skills. He gets military honors every month, and the family can't finish all the food and meat.
As soon as these words came out, it caused a burst of bombardment in the crowd. As for Yang Shitou, they all knew this person more or less, not because of how powerful he was, but because this person was stupid, stupid and dull, just like Shitou. Same.
But just such a person, and now he has such an opportunity, immediately made many mountain people think that it would be okay for him to have sex with me.
Some people with bright minds suddenly thought of a very important point, that is, there is no need to join the army to learn a craft, but only if you learn well can you be qualified to join the army.
It seems that I can just learn the craft and not join the army. After all, military war is dangerous.
Amid such discussions, many mountain people were no longer so afraid of the menacing Ying Tianjun at the door.
By the afternoon, Ji Yi had recruited three people.
By the afternoon of the next day, Ji Yi had recruited thirteen people. The remaining ones who wanted to join were rejected by Ji Yi because there was not enough food.
Those people immediately said that they could pay on credit, but they were still rejected by Ji Yi and asked them to wait until next time.
Lin Yi didn't understand the method of hunger marketing, but that was the military rule. Only when there was food could there be soldiers. Only in this way could trust be established.
As for those who dare to be greedy for ink, behead them!
Not only is he going to die, but Shangguan is also going to be implicated.
Instead of recruiting soldiers, some mountain people also asked if they could leave with them, but they wanted to take advantage of the winter to learn some skills, but they were still rejected by Ji Yi.
The answer given by Ji Yi is that if there are not enough young people in the stockade, hungry wild animals may attack the stockade in winter.
As for learning crafts, Ying Tianjun will send craftsmen to teach them later.
Lin Yi's response certainly disappointed some mountain people and made some people regret why they hesitated so that their opportunity was robbed, but it also made the mountain people feel more at ease.
They didn't want anyone who came to the door. Obviously, Ying Tianjun didn't want to trick Qing Zhuang into joining the army, and he would be at his mercy from then on.
If Ji Yi accepts it, it will make people think too much.
And when the recruitment was over, a few men, wearing somewhat shabby military uniforms, walked over, thinking about the recruitment office.
These people were walking like a dragon and a tiger, with extraordinary momentum. At a glance, you could tell that they were no ordinary people. Their aura was completely different from that of the mountain people.
The fifty soldiers even recognized that the military uniforms they wore were Huang Tianjun's standard.
This group of people immediately attracted Ji Yi's attention. Ji Yi couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.
Although they were the ones who came, he felt that these people came with bad intentions.
And his thoughts were very sharp, and he immediately thought that these people were probably the businessmen who the mountain people had said before, because of banditry, had wandered here.
But now it seems that the businessman is fake. These people are probably Huang Tian's remnant soldiers who fled at the beginning. Calculating the time mentioned by the mountain people, it is almost the same. Not only that, with this weather, these people's past identities , certainly not low.
Therefore, he couldn't help but have a few thoughts.
As for Sun Chu, although his injuries were not intact, he was once a military commander after all. Although he was injured, his physical fitness was not bad. Otherwise, a few outsiders would have been eaten up by the local mountain people.
He was surrounded by several soldiers, his eyes were like lightning, and he saw Ji Yi at a glance.
He looked at the other party's demeanor and saw that he had some magnanimity, but not much. It was obvious that Zhao Cheng's team was weak and he was promoted temporarily. He must have been a small person before.
Such a person is undoubtedly very easy to handle.
He also had a calculation in his mind. As long as he got the upper hand and captured this person first, the rest of the matter would be much easier to handle.
He has an official position, so as long as he suppresses this person, it is not difficult to make fifty old soldiers return home temporarily.
As for the follow-up, he only had to return to the current main camp of Yingtian and shout peace outside the camp, asking Zhao Cheng to lead the crowd to welcome him in, and the rest would fall into place.
Therefore, his posture is very good.
Because he knew that to deal with such a small person, he had to use his momentum to directly overpower him. "I am the great virtuous master, General Feiyun. Here is the token, why don't you kneel down!"
After getting closer, Sun Chu suddenly shouted loudly.
At this time, he and several soldiers around him immediately drew their swords and pulled out one-third of the blade. With a sonorous sound, several people also shouted: "General Feiyun is here, why don't you wait? Kneel down, do you want to rebel?!"
As soon as these words came out, the fifty soldiers immediately hesitated for a while. Some soldiers even had their knees bent a little. As soon as Lin Yi knelt down, they followed directly.
This is the power of justice and the power of the system. Although they have now changed their name to Ying Tianjun, time is still short. Faced with this situation, these soldiers can not kneel down, but wait for Lin Yi's reaction .
It is already the subtle effect of Zhao Cheng's establishment of a new system these days.
As for Lin Yi, when he heard these violent shouts, he was a little frightened and almost knelt down. At the critical moment, Zhao Cheng's Golden Lotus Tao Seed moved instinctively in the void, and a golden air flow merged into it. Lin Yi was angry.
Lin Yi was startled and woke up immediately. While dripping with cold sweat, he suddenly sneered. Then, Lin Yi shouted suddenly and said: "Everyone, listen to the order. I have the general's secret decree. The general has a clever plan. He has known it for a long time." The thief wanted to pretend to be a general of our army, so he asked me to do it, and now it has finally come true."
"Send the general's order to attack together and kill these thieves!"
"kill!"
Two words of "kill" were used in a row, each one was more chilling than the other, and each one was more murderous than the other.
As soon as these words came out, the fifty soldiers in the field reacted immediately. Without hesitation, they picked up their weapons and charged forward.
If Lin Yi had not mentioned the general, these soldiers might have hesitated because they had been beaten first, but with the word general, there was no hesitation at all.
After all, the general is the descendant of Huang Tian, and it is only appropriate to have such a mysterious power. However, everyone did not hesitate at all about Lin Yi's words.
Only Lin Yi, after shouting these words, his heart beat wildly, because he made up the above words. He was falsely passing military orders. According to military regulations, he should be beheaded.
But he did not regret it, because the moment he woke up, he understood the power of it. General Feiyun must die!
Otherwise, it will definitely pose a threat to Zhao Cheng.
But he didn't know whether Zhao Cheng could measure up to his loyalty, or he would still feel that he was a rebellious person and could not be reused.
However, no matter what, he has no regrets at this moment.
On the other side, when Sun Chu heard Lin Yi calling everyone to obey the order, he felt something was wrong. When he heard the word "kill", he suddenly felt a chill to his bones.
He looked at Ji Yi, somewhat incomprehensible. Such a little man, an ant-like person who he had never looked at before, was so brave. Or did he really have Zhao Cheng's order? Zhao Cheng, a Taoist, really So magical? !
But even Huang Tiandao dare not say that he can predict the future. Otherwise, why would Huang Tiandao decline to this extent? !
However, he didn't have time to think about the situation, because fifty soldiers were already carrying spears, thinking of assassinating them.
"How dare you!"
Sun Chu shouted violently and drew his weapon.
But even if he were in perfect condition, he wouldn't be able to defeat so many soldiers, let alone now.
Soon, he and several soldiers were overwhelmed by the soldiers. However, these few soldiers were really fierce. Faced with such an attack, they actually killed two soldiers and injured nearly ten others. Kill.
"Come here, cut off the heads of these people first, and then burn the bodies!"
Ji Yi gave orders with red eyes.
At the same time, Sun Chu's last roar was still echoing in Ji Yi's mind.
"You will regret it. If you do such a dirty thing, you will definitely be liquidated in the future..."
Indeed, it is not a glorious thing to kill the general of one's own side. Even the people on one's own side will not like a person who goes beyond the limits.
"The birds are all good and the bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking. If I am liquidated in the future, will I regret what I did today..."
Ji Yi murmured, but something he had heard in the play flashed through his mind.
At this time, the mountain people were stunned by this sudden change.
…
More than ten days later, Lin Yi returned to the camp.
After he returned to camp, the first thing he did was to visit Zhao Cheng and apologize.
He does have his own thoughts, but he is not a scholar after all. However, he also knows the truth. Facing the lord, the most important thing is loyalty.
If you are loyal, you may be forgiven even if you are guilty; if you are disloyal, you should be killed even if you are not guilty.
And deceiving the Lord is undoubtedly the greatest act of disloyalty.
"My subordinates knew that the man was probably the real General Feiyun, but they still ordered him to be killed. Falsely conveying the general's orders was an even greater crime. I asked the general to punish him..."
In the wooden house, Lin Yi knocked on the ground with his head, making a thumping sound.
And at the top, Zhao Cheng was sitting on it. Although he still had the posture of a young man, he had an aura that could swallow up thousands of miles, which was intimidating.
At this time, Lin Yi didn't dare to go see Zhao Cheng. On the way back, he thought about it, and the more he felt that he had committed a serious crime. His crime was not killing Sun Chu, but falsely passing military orders. This crime was not Worse than those who falsely preach the imperial decree.
And falsely conveying the imperial edict is a serious crime that will kill the nine tribes.
And Zhao Cheng's silence made Ji Yi's heart skip a beat.
"Jin Yi!"
After a long time, Zhao Cheng finally spoke out, and his voice was very high.
"The mark is on!"
After hearing this, Lin Yi responded without hesitation, but still did not dare to raise his head.
"Lin Yi, this general knows that you are loyal and brave. As for your crimes, what are you guilty of?!"
"Following orders to punish thieves is a great achievement."
"Come here, pass this general's order to the whole army. Lin Yi has been ordered to defeat thieves, and he will be given a set of Yingtian robes for great merit!"
Zhao Cheng's voice became more and more distant, but an unspeakable feeling emerged in Lin Yi's heart. All the previous grievances in his heart were gone at this moment, and instead, there was only a desire to die.
In the army, the news that someone pretended to be General Feiyun was discovered by the general early and ordered Lin Yi to throw his army and kill him. In an instant, the news spread throughout the army, attracting many soldiers to discuss it heatedly. The reward made him even more envious of the general's favor towards Lin Yi.
Only Wang Shouzheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news.
Lin Yi was just a little brother and a nobody before, but now, he is just an idler in the army, while the other party is constantly giving him rewards.
However, something about General Feiyun always made him feel something was wrong. Was the murdered General Feiyun really a fake? !
But although he had doubts in his heart, he never dared to say them out. With Zhao Cheng's current power in the army, if he said it was false, it must be false if it was true. If he said it was true, it must also be false. real.
Thinking of this, thinking of such majesty, Wang Shouzheng suddenly became even more disheartened, and some of the vicious calculations that had been in his heart immediately disappeared.
