Since Huang County and Muyang City are only separated by more than [-] kilometers in the Bohai Strait, the fast boat travels along the wind, and basically leaves early in the morning and arrives later in the evening. Therefore, Chu Rou set off earlier than Chuning, even though their merchant ships It stopped in Jizhou for an hour, but when Chuning led the troops to disembark from Tuhe County, her Xiaoqisi had already arrived in Youzhou.

When Chu Ning followed Wuhou Qinshui to the north and was about to step into the territory of the Yuwen Ministry, Chu Rou had already led Xiaoqisi to join Li Rui.

Although Yuyang County was also plundered by Xianbei, the time was short after all. In addition, Chuning was leading the Zhongwu Army northward for a circle, and later Yan Lingge led Fengming cavalry to make trouble behind him. The major tribes brought some containment.But to Li Rui's disappointment, the Xianbei territory was destroyed, the property of cattle and sheep was plundered, and the clansmen of Yuwen and Duanbu took refuge in Muronghu's subordinates... All these incidents did not seem to bring any suspicion to the major clans of Xianbei.

Therefore, Li Rui and Mao Gui led tens of thousands of mobs to win and lose in Yuyang County. Fortunately, Mao Gui's military skills are good, and his two thousand loyal soldiers are well-armed. It also gradually advanced, and fought to the edge of Beiping County, and finally stationed at the west of Pinggang City, about two hundred miles away by the Rushui River.

At the same time, Xiao Hongfei also brought [-] loyal soldiers to station in White Wolf City, which is more than two hundred miles away from Pinggang City in the south.

After Chu Ning and Mrs. Yan led the army into the Yanshan Mountains, Yan Lingge led the Fengming War Department and returned to Liucheng, which is more than two hundred miles east of Pinggangping.

At this point, the layout of the three-way encirclement was clearly revealed, and the Xianbei people quickly obtained three military deployments in the southeast, west, and east.

But what the Xianbei people don't know for the time being is that when Chu Rou arrived at Rushui Daying, a caravan followed him. This caravan did not deliver food, but sent copper coins, five thousand iron guns and Five thousand leather armors come over.

Although the iron gun was forged by the imperial court, even in today's wartime, money can still make ghosts work. As long as you use some means, you can still buy it from other places continuously.

The leather armor is tanned with cowhide after Zhu Erxi has finished making beef jerky.Strictly speaking, it’s not really armor, because there’s only one long piece from the neck to the knees on the front, and two cloth ropes are sewn on, one hanging around the neck and one tied around the waist when wearing the belt.

"Good stuff!"

Mao Gui couldn't put it down. Although it was just such a piece of cowhide hanging on the front, General Ren Chu was an honest man. He put a lot of thin iron armor on it to protect his chest and abdomen. It was thinner than what the Zhongwu Army wears now. Although iron armor is not as good as it is, it is really a good thing to save lives at this critical moment.

"I would like to invite General Mao to pick out five thousand people who can be used." Chu Rou finished the salute, and said hastily: "From now on, the general will conduct emergency pre-battle training."

"Pre-battle training?"

Although Mao Gui felt that the short-term training would not be effective, he still took Chu Rou to select soldiers.

Li Rui thought for a while, and followed behind the two of them.

Wherever Churou went, Xiaoqisi would follow in full armor. Every time she entered a camp, Chu Rou only had to glance over and point out the soldiers she liked, and Xiaoqisi's soldiers would go up and arrest them.

If there is resistance, the only outcome is - to be killed on the spot.

On this day, 23 human heads dripping with blood were hung in front of the gate. Li Rui and Mao Gui looked at Chu Rou's murderous aura, and couldn't help being a little apprehensive—they didn't expect that Chu Zhaoyi, a little-known sister , It was so vicious.

After selecting [-] new recruits, Chu Rou asked Li Rui to gather all the officers at the rank of military lords and generals, and holding up the bloody saber, he warned each word: "No matter how big your backers are, No matter how high the official position is, how many soldiers and horses there are, but please remember that from today onwards, there is only one person who counts here, and that is me, Chu Rou—if you obey me, you will prosper, and if you oppose me, you will perish!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Rou suddenly asked, "Do you understand?"

"Ming... I understand... Got it..."

Hearing such a hesitant answer, Chu Rou was naturally dissatisfied, she swung the saber in her hand, and directly chopped off another disapproving head.

"Do you understand now?" Chu Rou asked very gently this time.

But everyone present answered in unison, with momentum like a rainbow: "Understood!"

Chuning let them go with satisfaction, and turned to see Li Rui and Mao Gui looking at her with disapproval and worry on their faces.

"Marquis Chu, aren't you worried about their camp change?" Mao Gui hesitated and said, "There are tens of thousands of people here, if a camp change is triggered..."

"They can't change!"

After Chu Rou finished speaking, she walked out of the tent with confidence. At this time, Xiao Qisi had gathered the five thousand recruits she had selected in the open space in front of the camp.

Turning on his horse neatly, holding his saber, he trotted back and forth along the front of the horse, then took a trumpet-shaped thing from the guard's hand, put it in his mouth and shouted: "Since the one who rebelled against me is dead, the next time , then those who follow me will prosper!"

The sound amplification effect of the wooden speaker is limited, but it is better than shouting at the top of your voice. Half of the people present can hear it very clearly, but fearing Chu Rou's killing power, no one dares to move or make the slightest sound.

Chu Rou didn't care about their reaction, anyway, these people were disarmed, and Mao Gui's [-] loyal soldiers were guarding them, so she wasn't afraid that they would cause trouble.

After waving, 250 soldiers of Xiaoqisi came out. Each of them had two copper coins hanging around their necks. Starting from the first row, each of them gave out one hundred copper coins.

One hundred pennies is not much, but for these ordinary peasants crawling out of the land, it is not much.

"I know, you must have resentment for killing so many people just now." After distributing the money, the scene was very quiet, Chu Rou looked at the trembling people holding copper coins, and shouted: "But, you shouldn't hate me." I, because, from the moment you left your hometown, you are no longer ordinary people, but soldiers of our Daqing court! Your duty is to hold a weapon in your hand and guard the frontier, and the end result is to die in battle or return to your hometown. Not in the name of a soldier, but greedy for life and afraid of death, eating and drinking, and bullying the people in distress!"

"Of course, you can be unconvinced! You can resist! You can hate me!" Chu Rou paused for a moment, then said harshly: "But, you must know, I——Chu Rou! Where the saber is directed, the severed head , there may be more people than you have ever seen, and the Jingguan that has been piled up may be larger than the land in your home! So, as long as you are not afraid of death, come here!"

"Finally, congratulations to you all." Chu Rou smiled slightly, and said amidst everyone's trembling fear: "All the people I have chosen, as long as they can survive in my hands for a month, they will be rewarded with five strings of money. Of course! If you can make me feel better, rewards like today are available anytime."

After Chu Rou finished speaking, she returned to her camp. In view of her ferocity, none of the 5000 people dared to disperse without their order, and stood there until night.

When Chu Rou's dismissal order came, the 5000 people couldn't wait to grab food, but found that someone had already left enough food for them, more than they had grabbed before, enough for everyone to eat.

The recruits held the copper coins but did not dare to go back to sleep in the original camp. Firstly, they were afraid that their copper coins would be snatched away by the former superiors, and secondly, they were afraid that they would be beaten when they went back. In the end, they simply huddled around Chu Rou’s tent and endured the pain. one night.

This night, Mao Gui and Li Rui barely closed their eyes, and spent the whole time in panic, while Chu Rou slept extremely soundly. When she came out of the tent the next day, she found that these new recruits had already finished their breakfast and took the initiative to gather in the space where they gathered yesterday. Line up on the ground.

The group of guardsmen who rose up were all bandits. In terms of viciousness, they were much tougher than these mud-legged people who had just crawled out of the soil. The later reserve soldiers were basically trained by Chu Rou herself. He is too aware of the edges and weaknesses of the recruits. He has long been familiar with the method of hitting a stick and then giving him some sweetness. As for these people who provoke the camp - if these people have the courage to change the camp, they will not drag and follow Li Rui After fighting with Mao Gui, they had already robbed Li Rui and the others of their food and stood on their own.

"It seems that everyone is a smart person." Chu Rou finished her breakfast slowly, straddled the front of the horse, and said with a smile: "Very good, the formation is neatly lined up, I am in a good mood, thank you! "

With the exit of the word reward, each of the [-] recruits in front of them got another [-] copper coins.

This time, not only the 5000 people in front of the camp were shocked, but even the people who secretly watched and inquired about the situation in the camp were stunned. In this year when the imperial court couldn't even grab all the sharp money, these soldiers and bandits tried their best, but few of them got so much money... But when the Chu Junhou came, he just had to arrange it so simple For the team, if you just smile at her, you can get a hundred coins?

Damn it, is this woman a vicious and vicious woman, or a heroic and generous goddess of wealth?

Mao Gui and Li Rui watched this scene from the sidelines, and felt a little relieved at once, and then heartbroken.

——What's safe is that when Chu Ning reorganized the Zhaoyi Army, he used the same method as a withdrawal, but Chuning was more gentle and didn't see blood.

The painful thing is that this kind of spending money to practice military skills like a god of wealth is probably only the two sisters of the Chu family who have the confidence to use it?Compared with the earning power of the two of them behind the head of the Bai family, today's emperors are all poor people!

All the forces hiding in the camp and peeping were also blindfolded by this willful reward. Looking back, some ambitious people secretly rejoiced and formed cliques secretly, preparing to take this wicked woman's money. They are all fooled.Of course, a larger part of the people were still attracted by the sweet date that Chu Rou threw out, and their resentment and hatred gradually diminished, and they even felt a little bit of seeking refuge.

After rewarding the money, Chu Rou transferred another 100 people from Xiaoqi Division to serve as instructors, and each of them led [-] recruits to start training.

Because it was pre-war training, time was up for grabs, so they didn't practice basic training such as standing and walking. Instead, each of them was issued a wooden stick to teach them to practice basic spearman tactics such as stabbing, stabbing, and dashing.

Practiced tactics in the morning, and after lunch, in the eyes of tens of thousands of eyes, Chu Rou played a new trick again—she pointed at the Rushui River next to the camp, drew out her saber, and ordered in a cold voice: "Burst!"

In the Weimin Army and the Zhaoyi Army, the tactical action of the spearmen's "burst" was to charge forward with their guns at their waists.

However, when looking at the unknown depth of the Ru River in front, the recruits hesitated, stopped on the bank, looked at the river water and at Chu Rou, at a loss for what to do.

The instructors of Xiaoqisi did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight into the river with their guns in hand. Some recruits on the bank remembered Chu Rou's method yesterday, and their feet were faster than their brains, and they also rushed into the river.

"Very good!" Chu Rou blew the whistle for the people who rushed to the front, calling them back to the bank, and asked them to bring copper coins: "All those who got into the river will be rewarded with two hundred coins! "

As for those who didn't go down the river, of course they didn't get a reward, they could only watch others receive the reward, and regret it by the side.

Immediately, the tens of thousands of people present were so scared by Chu Rou's arrogance that they were speechless. When the copper coins were distributed over there and continued to practice, a big man in the camp suddenly scolded: "Damn it! If you don’t regard money as the leader of the money, why didn’t I meet him? Not to mention five pennies after a month, damn it, it’s only four hundred coins after two days!”

Many people around thought similarly to this big guy, they huddled behind the wooden fence where they camped with sympathy, watched the training outside secretly, and cursed a few times: "Just such a dead dog, he can be selected , It's just stepping on shit luck!"

That night, many recruits spoke to Chu Rou through the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Division, expressing their willingness to follow the training. Chu Rou did not explicitly refuse, but said that among the 5000 people who had been selected, as long as someone could not survive, Immediately choose from among those who are willing.

The next day, the training was very boring. Chu Rou didn't want to bother and didn't give a reward. Sit softly and divide the dirt.

However, on the evening of the third day, Chu Rou came up with a new trick—she didn't announce her disbandment after the recruit training was over, but she planted a lot of barbed wire in front of the recruits in front of them, Then he sneered and ordered: "Sudden!"
