Maybe these people had surrendered to the Xianbo people long ago?
The purpose of coming here is to blend into Xiao Chen's army so that he can cooperate with the Xianbo people inside and outside in the future.
You can't completely trust them just based on what the man said.
As the saying goes, war never tires of deceit, this is war!
The man probably saw Xiao Chen's hesitation and laughed miserably, "Mr. Xiao, you don't believe us either, right? That's not your fault! Let's do this, you give us all a good meal, and then
Send us weapons, and we will be your death squads. After we get out of the mountains, we will go fight with the Xianbo people first!"
"Old man, what do you think?" Xiao Chen looked back at Chen Jisheng, who had remained silent.
"You are the coach, you make the decision." Chen Jisheng said calmly.
"I believe you." Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before making his own subjective decision, "When you put on your armor, mount your horse, and pick up your weapons, you will be my fellow brothers of Xiao Chen. Let's go and kill those people together."
Let the freshmen cavalry truly see the bloody nature of our Chinese men!"
Xiao Chen's decision was actually quite impulsive. If he made a wrong judgment, the consequences would be disastrous.
But as he often said, young people should be impulsive sometimes. Are those who are not impulsive still young?
We are here to survive in the face of death. If you have to gamble, you must gamble. Anyway, your wealth and life are already at stake!
After ordering the team to move forward, the logistics leaders buried pots and cooked rice on the spot. They first boiled some hot water for them to take a good bath and put on cotton-padded clothes.
The medical officer will then check their health to prevent any diseases such as dysentery from spreading to the army. After eating and drinking, they will camp and rest on the spot. It will not be too late to keep up the spirit and follow the team.
They had to be registered one by one, because after they joined, they became official soldiers, and they had to be paid. Like all brothers, each of them was given fifty taels of settling-in allowance first.
However, during the march, the money could not be distributed. I could only give him a note and wait until later to replace it.
Zhuge Xiaosheng left five hundred soldiers behind to guard them.
Liu Mofeng was also ordered to lead the Xichang brothers who were experienced in criminal investigation to go deep into the area and randomly check suspicious people. If necessary, some extraordinary measures could be taken. In short, it was necessary to find out whether they were spies who had taken refuge with the Xianbo people.
Facts have proved that Zhuge Xiaosheng was overly worried, because after only one night, Liu Mofeng came to the conclusion that these people were definitely not spies of the Xianbo people.
The evidence is also very simple and direct, that is, these people all sleep very soundly at night. Just listen to their thunderous snoring one after another, and you will know that there is nothing wrong with them.
Otherwise they are guaranteed not to sleep so soundly!
Moreover, they slept for a full day and night, and no one woke up during this period...
After waking up, everyone was in high spirits. They ate the steamed buns and white porridge with great joy. On the contrary, Liu Mofeng and the others had not slept well all day and night. They all had dark circles under their eyes and were depressed.
These people have no health problems. If they didn't have strong bones, they wouldn't have been able to survive in the mountains for so long.
The only problem was that more than 200 people were full of food, holding their stomachs and rolling around on the floor. This was considered a normal phenomenon. The medical officers prescribed some medicine to enhance gastric motility, and they just needed to take it.
They put on brand-new armor, distributed sharp spears, and equipped them with sharp wind-splitting knives. They all stood upright with their heads held high, and they really looked like decent soldiers.
After a roll call, there were more than 3,600 of them, which meant that Xiao Chen had gained another 3,000 troops out of thin air.
But they haven't gone through even one day of training, so they certainly can't be allowed to directly participate in battles, and naturally they won't be allowed to serve as death squads.
Quan was incorporated into the logistics force and was responsible for guarding craftsmen, civilians, vehicles, horses, and supplies.
But everyone is still very dissatisfied. We can really go into battle to kill the enemy. They are all holding their breath and want to avenge our relatives!
Besides, we also killed many stragglers of the Xianbo cavalry on the way, and we have seen blood.
No matter what, morale is still high.
And there was a surprise. After Lu Fei inquired, he learned that there were many hunters among them. He took them out and gave them to bows and arrows for examination. There were more than a hundred qualified ones, and he immediately took them under his command, so that his Yulin Guards would grow stronger.
It reached a scale of three hundred people.
Duan Linger was not idle either. He carefully selected dozens of young people who were particularly good at running and took them under his command. These people all fled here on foot from hundreds of miles away. There must be some who were particularly good at running among them.
Moreover, they are all from Yanyun County and are particularly familiar with the local terrain, which will be very beneficial to their orders and intelligence work in future wars.
Xiao Ye joined in the fun and selected dozens of strong, courageous men who could ride horses to be his knightly guards.
To select just these few out of thousands of people shows how picky these three are about their subordinates.
But precisely because they are so picky, these three guards are the best among the best.
Now they are unknown, but in the near future, they will be famous all over the world!
There is no problem for the men to directly enlist in the army, but there are hundreds of young girls who are not easy to place.
The girls were afraid that they would be abandoned by the handsome man, so they came to him together to ask for work.
They claim that we are actually similar to men. We all come from poor families, and we are not delicate young ladies. We may not be as good as men when it comes to killing enemies in battle, but we can do other jobs!
We can do everything from washing vegetables and cooking to washing clothes and sewing and mending!
In fact, we can still fight if we are given a knife...
Xiao Chen didn't know how to arrange them for the moment, but he definitely couldn't leave them alone. Didn't this girl Duan Ling'er originally say that she wanted to set up some kind of women's army?
Forget it all for her.
But Duan Linger refused to admit that she had said this.
Boss, are you mistaken? My subordinates are all elites selected from a thousand!
What do you mean by giving me these big girls and little wives?
What kind of women's army? I never said it. This is fighting and not embroidery. What do I want these little ladies to do? They are not burdensome enough.
You must have heard wrong. Don't be too proud, don't want any of them.
Go wash vegetables and cook in the Huotou Army. They don’t want it. Boss, are you kidding me? We are all gentlemen. What do you mean by sending us a bunch of little girls?
If they come, will these guys still want to cook? They can't just watch them anymore!
When the time comes, it will be too late to make cooked rice, and it will not be a fool's errand to miss the military plane.
Please don't hurt us. Thank you.
Tell it to Liu Xiangqin, but Liu Xiangqin only accepted a few people who had read books and could write, and didn't want the others. Why do you want to come here? Serve me? I'm not a rich lady, I am now a logistics secretary in the army!
Everyone doesn't want it, but Wen Shanchang wants it. Our medical team is short of people, come on, come on.
Having them take care of the wounded soldiers saves us a lot of trouble.
Besides, wounded soldiers are generally in a bad mood. With so many girls and wives around them, their moods will definitely brighten up, which is also very helpful in boosting morale.
