As soon as these words came out, others immediately echoed: "That's right, we haven't been apart for long. We should be able to catch up now if we rush over."
"Although we broke up with General Sun and the others before, it was Fei Bingcai and Scar who did it. Since both of them are dead, several other related people also died and escaped. Now It’s okay if we go and join General Sun.”
"General Sun is in need of manpower right now. He will definitely accept us if we go back to join him."
"This mountain is not easy to walk on, and we don't have enough food for a few days. We might die in the mountain."
"Even if we can get out of the mountains, it won't be easy for us just to do it. Our horses need to eat eggs and beans to charge, and we can't just eat dry grass all the time."
"We need a lot of food and grass, which can only be found in larger villages. Nowadays, these big villages are not easy to fight. If there is no food and grass later, will the brothers have to become refugees?"
"Come on, let's go find General Sun. He has food and grass there, and General Sun can tell at a glance that he is someone who can accomplish things and it would not be wrong to join him!"
These people talked to each other, and soon a group of people silently made a decision: defect to Sun Chengcheng!
No reason, just to survive!
In troubled times, a group of leaderless soldiers will not survive long.
————
Whether Sun Chengli or Luo Zhixue, they had made many plans to seize the throne. Some of these plans were successfully implemented, and some were not successful.
But none of these plans can match the current situation.
Sun Chengli said with an expression of disbelief: "You mean, Scar suddenly attacked and killed Fei Bingcai? Then Fei Bingcai's nephew killed Scar again, and a few people started a fight?"
The dozen or so cavalrymen who were chasing Sun Chengcheng immediately said, "General Mingjian, what we say is true."
Sun Chengcheng looked at Luo Zhixue at this time, and Luo Zhixue was also a little speechless: "Everything in the world is unpredictable!"
This thing was far beyond his expectation. He never thought that Fei Bingcai and Dao Scar would kill each other after breaking up, and they would die together. The remaining dozen people would come back to join them. .
Immediately Luo Zhixue said: "It is a good thing that things have come to this!"
Sun Chengli naturally knew why Luo Zhixue said that, and he immediately said to the more than ten cavalrymen: "No matter what happened before, but since everyone trusts me, Sun Mazi, as I said, we are all brothers, and I will be with you in the future." What Sun Mazi eats is indispensable for his brothers.”
No matter what, this is a good thing after all. At least a dozen more cavalry have rejoined them, which has increased their strength to a certain extent.
After finishing speaking, Sun Chengli thought for a while and then said to Luo Zhixue: "Brother Luo, please choose four people from these people. After all, brother Luo, you are our military advisor and are in charge of the camp's supplies. You have no one under you." It’s not convenient either.”
Hearing this, Luo Zhixue tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't help showing joy on his face.
This is military power!
Even though four men are few, they are still serious cavalrymen.
And if nothing else goes wrong, if they become larger in the future and have hundreds of people, then Young Master Luo Zhixue will not be like Sun Chengcheng at the time, and he will have to manage hundreds of homeless soldiers and the like.
By then, he, Luo Zhixue, will be Sun Chengli in the Li Tonglin era!
During the Li Tonglin era, Sun Chengli was not just a baggage officer. He also had more than a dozen elite cavalry as personal soldiers under his command. He was also responsible for managing hundreds of refugee soldiers every day, transporting baggage, building camps, distributing grain and grass, etc. Camp affairs.
At that time, Sun Chengli's actual power and the manpower he could mobilize were actually no worse than Fei Bingcai, Dao Scar, and Third Brother Wang.
Now, Luo Zhixue has also embarked on the path Sun Chengli once walked.
With joy, Luo Zhixue immediately said: "Thank you, General. Zhixue will do his best in the future. No matter whether it is camp affairs or luggage, there will be no trouble. From now on, what the General points to is the direction Zhixue will move forward!"
Sun Chengcheng nodded slightly: "Okay!"
Sun Chengli was very satisfied with Luo Zhixue's attitude. If Luo Zhixue was neither happy nor sad, or even neither humble nor arrogant, then Sun Chengli would wonder if Luo Zhixue had other ideas.
He is still very optimistic about Luo Zhixue. He feels that although this man is young, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, he is a scholar, and he is also a capable and talented scholar.
Sun Chengcheng still remembers Luo Zhixue's analysis of the general situation of the world and the overall situation of Henan in front of the map. There are many scholars in the world. It is not that Sun Chengcheng has never seen scholars. On the contrary, he has seen many scholars. .
However, there are really not many people who are as knowledgeable as Sun Chengli.
Sun Chengli felt that this talent would be a great help to him if he used it well.
What's more, compared to the three people Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He who were temporarily recruited, Sun Lili trusted and valued Luo Zhixue more.
Because before this battle for the throne began, even before Yiyang broke out, Luo Zhixue was already under his command.
This is one of our own!
Lin, Wang, and Xu were all recruited by him temporarily, and it was purely a temporary measure for them to serve as generals of the left, center, and right armies.
If possible, Sun Cheng would not hesitate to seize their military power in the future.
He had to personally control the more than forty elite cavalry, otherwise he would not be at ease.
After Luo Zhixue, Sun Chengli, Lin, Wang, and Xu discussed the follow-up march plan, Luo Zhixue retreated and prepared to select his own soldiers according to Sun Chengli's instructions.
At this time, a close soldier next to Sun Chengli also quickly followed up. He said with a smile on his face: "Commander Luo, I will take you to select people now. The general has already given orders. That wave of It’s up to you to choose among the people, and the general also said that if you still don’t like those people, you can also choose people from the three armed forces and the pro-army.”
The three armies select people? Can you still recruit people from the pro-military army?
Just forget about it. The left, right, center and three armies were the former Li Tonglin Guards. Now there are more than forty people divided into three armies, led by Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He respectively. Going there to select people is equivalent to directly poaching the three of them. corner.
Even if people don't fall out directly, they will probably have prejudices against Luo Zhixue.
Besides, when they go there to select people, no one knows who their confidants are. If they choose someone who is the opponent's confidant, wouldn't they be setting a nail on the ground?
Don't even count on the pro-army. The pro-army is the pro-army before Sun Chengli. They are all Sun Chengli's confidants. If he recruits them, there will be trouble in the future.
However, although he thought of this, Luo Zhixue had no intention of speaking out, but said happily: "Such a great kindness!"
That being said, Luo Zhixue had already made up his mind and selected four of the cavalrymen who had defected back.
They used to be members of Fei Bingcai and Scar, but now they have no one to back them up. It is impossible to say that they are not uneasy.
Recruiting them yourself at this time can also make them feel at ease.
This was a perfect match. I didn't have to poach Lin Wang and Xu and the others, let alone get a few of Sun Chengli's direct soldiers to take with me.
Sun Chengcheng's soldiers led Luo Zhixue all the way, smiling all the way and flattering Luo Zhixue in their words.
And this soldier didn't have much enthusiasm for Luo Zhixue before.
Luo Zhixue knew very well why this happened.
It's very simple, because he came to power and became the military advisor of this rebel army, and his military advisor is not the kind of military advisor in the novel who can only make top, middle, and low strategies, but is specifically responsible for managing camp affairs, baggage, etc. affairs, a military advisor with real power.
Under such circumstances, it is natural for this soldier to change his attitude towards Luo Zhixue.
In this battle for the throne, Sun Chengli, who became the boss, was naturally the biggest winner.
The second winner is Luo Zhixue. As for Lin, Wang, and Xu, to be honest, as long as they are not stupid, no matter who is the boss, they will get their current status. Who allows them to have more than 40 elite soldiers? .
Let’s not talk about other people, let’s talk about Luo Zhixue himself.
Now he has officially become the military advisor of this group of rebels. In addition to advising Sun Chengli on military affairs, his main daily affairs are actually responsible for managing camp affairs and baggage affairs.
At the same time, Sun Chengli allowed Luo Zhixue to select four people as personal soldiers.
This completely means that Luo Zhixue has become one of the top leaders in the rebel army from now on, and his status is not low.
Just like Sun Chengli during the Li Tonglin era.
It's just that now there are only more than 60 people left in this rebel army, and the overall momentum is far different from that in Li Tonglin's era.
I think back when Li Tonglin was a general, he had a hundred or so cavalry under his command, plus more than 1,500 soldiers recruited from the refugees.
But later, in order to break out of the encirclement, Li Tonglin dismissed all the refugee soldiers and only led a hundred or so cavalry to break out of the encirclement.
Later, they were intercepted by Chen Zhibang's troops. Dozens of riders were killed or injured in the breakout battle, and dozens more riders took advantage of the chaos to break away from the team and escape alone.
The battle for the throne just now resulted in several casualties and escapes.
As a result, there are now only more than sixty people left.
Fortunately, among the more than sixty people, except for the scholar Luo Zhixue and the little girl Lin Yuer he brought with him, the rest were all frontier cavalry with military background, and their overall strength was not weak.
According to Luo Zhixue's idea, if he finds a place to cultivate his health and recuperate, and then collect some food and weapons, there will still be a bright future.
In this process of continuous development, Luo Zhixue has made up his mind to continue to control more troops. It is best to create a supply camp under his own jurisdiction and command later, just like Sun Chengli.
In this way, the future is promising!
Of course, this is all a plan for the future. Now, the top priority is to select four soldiers.
Although there are only four people, these are the first batch of soldiers under his command, and there is no room for sloppiness!
