Zhang Tieniu's God of War regiment moved very quickly. There were more than 4,000 people here. Unexpectedly, Deng Guoming had the opportunity and quickly showed his powerful ability, leading them effortlessly.
However, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. Behind Zhang Tieniu's team, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 civilians following them.
Judging from their appearance, these civilians were determined to follow Zhang Tieniu and the others to City S.
"Commander Zhang, they are following, what should we do?" Deng Guoming asked Zhang Tieniu in a low voice. He meant either to accept them or to expel them.
"It's okay, just follow. When we get to S City, it seems they have no choice but to join the Ant Alliance!" Zhang Tieniu is very generous. If someone has someone, they can provide troops. The more, the better.
Receiving people now would waste a lot of Zhang Tieniu's time. It seemed unreasonable to expel them. Zhang Tieniu simply didn't think about it. If you want to follow, please do it yourself.
In fact, not only Zhang Tieniu's team, but also the Ant Alliance battle groups heading back to City S had tens of thousands of civilians behind them.
These people basically see no hope in Dawn City. If they live in another place, they may have new hope.
"How about we go talk to them?" Deng Guoming drew the attention of these people. There is free labor, and if you don't use it, it will be in vain. It is not an option for the civilians to follow without knowing.
"Guoming, you have gone bad!" Zhang Tieniu rolled his eyes and laughed. He understood what Deng Guoming meant. He asked them to set up a labor dispatch and fight their battle groups themselves. As for collecting supplies, it is up to these civilians.
bear.
"Haha..." Deng Guoming smiled but did not answer.
As long as you pay a certain amount of remuneration and distribute a certain proportion of the materials collected to them, you can avoid a lot of useless work, so why not do it?
"Okay! Let's go over and negotiate with them." After capturing a primary school, Zhang Tieniu announced that the members of the battle group would rest where they were. He and Deng Guoming led a team of commanding escorts and walked toward the crowd.
come over.
"Wow..." Seeing Zhang Tieniu coming over with his escort team, the crowd who were resting quietly on the ground immediately started to stir up a commotion.
"No, they brought people here to drive us away!" someone shouted loudly.
"No, we have not invaded their interests..."
"Don't be afraid, wait and see what they want to do?"
"We have more people, don't be afraid!" Some people encouraged themselves. More people are more powerful. Besides, there is an ancient law that does not punish the crowd. With such a large number of civilians, it is estimated that they will not savagely expel them. Everyone was in a commotion for a while.
It became quiet.
"You guys, who is the leader here?" Deng Guoming stepped forward and asked kindly. He didn't have any ill intentions towards this group of people. He said it was not nice to say that many of the people inside might become his comrades in the future.
.
"Report to the two commanders, we have no leader!" Someone replied loudly. It seems that they also found out the identities of Zhang Tieniu and others before following them.
"No leader?" Deng Guoming frowned. Without a leader, it would be difficult for a group of civilians to communicate with each other.
"Let me do it," a middle-aged man stood up, "I turned out to be the deputy city lord of City
The word "temporarily" was asked to the crowd.
"Can!"
"All right……"
"It's just for now." Many people in the crowd shouted.
The middle-aged man looks to be in his early forties and is not tall. His tired face is covered with wrinkles of worry. His face is firm and clear-cut. It is clear at a glance that he is a man who is used to working hard but less hard-working.
people.
At this time, the middle-aged man's eyes were dark and shiny, and he looked at the crowd in front of him with sharp eyes, without the slightest timidity.
"Very good, thank you for your trust!" The middle-aged man bent down and bowed to the crowd.
"Scheming, this person did not choose to join the City Lord's Mansion. It seems that he is a person with a story." Deng Guoming thought to himself, but he did not point it out in front of others.
"That's it. You guys are following me. I suggest you organize yourself and form an efficient team for easy management." Deng Guoming nodded to the middle-aged man. As long as there are civilians with representatives, things will be easy to handle.
"I understand what you mean. You told me in advance that we will do this immediately later." The middle-aged man nodded.
"What's your surname?" Zhang Tieniu suddenly became interested in him. This person has extraordinary abilities. Zhang Tieniu's God of War regiment lacks such a person.
"My surname is Xu, Xu Yanwu!" The middle-aged man was neither humble nor arrogant. He still did not flinch at Zhang Tieniu's powerful aura. He was a man who had seen big scenes.
"Well, that's right. When we arrive in S city, I hope you will have time to come and visit me and talk about anything." Zhang Tieniu looked into his eyes and extended the invitation.
"Definitely, definitely!" Xu Yanwu's heart skipped a beat, the opportunity had really come, "This Tieniu is not like the rumored Ma Daha. Even though he is only the commander now, he is estimated to be promoted to the army commander soon after arriving in S City.
A person's future is limitless." Xu Yanwu thought to himself and became interested in Zhang Tieniu as well.
"Okay, please take your time and chat. What Guoming means is my opinion." Zhang Tieniu nodded to Deng Guoming, waved his hands away and asked the escort to stay, while he walked back alone.
"Uh... Commander Zhang, let's go slowly!" Xu Yanwu quickly greeted him knowingly. Zhang Tieniu didn't look back or answer, but walked back slowly.
"Hello! City Lord Xu, what we mean is that when our God of War group captures every place or a
Small town, I leave the job of cleaning the battlefield and collecting supplies to you, what do you think?" Deng Guoming said with a smile.
"Very good! Thank you." Xu Yanwu was not surprised. They followed Zhang Tieniu's group because they wanted to collect things and supplies that Zhang Tieniu and the others did not need after they cleared the battlefield.
"Of course it's not free. We only provide you with 5% of the total amount of loot. What do you mean..." Deng Guoming looked into Xu Yanwu's eyes and said seriously.
"Five percent..." To be honest, this amount is quite a lot. The amount in a small place may not be much, but the total amount of supplies in a small city is considerable, Xu Yanwu calculated in his mind.
There is another possibility. Zhang Tieniu's God of War group cannot only attack a small town along the road. In total, it is only 5%, and the harvest will definitely exceed their expectations.
"What do you think?" Xu Yanwu did not agree immediately. He turned around and asked the crowd of civilians who followed him. Although deep down in his heart, he was already very willing.
"Five percent is a little less."
"Forget it, I'm risking my life, so five percent is a lot. Besides, there are so many places." The smart people in the crowd figured it out after doing the math.
"Let's agree." Many different voices came from the crowd. Generally speaking, most people agreed, and for 5%, they were very satisfied.
"Of course, if you don't agree, we have the simplest method. Each person has five kilograms of food a day." Deng Guoming said with a smile. In this way, everyone is just looking at their luck.
If Xu Deng Guoming and the others did not attack the city, they would naturally suffer a lot. Even if they attacked a small city with a population of tens of thousands, he estimated that the number of grain stores alone would be quite large.
"Five percent is five percent!" Xu Yanwu made a decision immediately. Anyone can do this math.
"Haha, think about it, five kilograms a day and fifteen kilograms in three days are real grains." Deng Guoming started to seduce them like a devil.
"No, just five percent!" Xu Yanwu said firmly. He understood what Deng Guoming was thinking.
"Okay, you have to hurry up. We only have three days along the way. I suggest you set up small teams as soon as possible to facilitate management and distribution of materials." Deng Guoming agreed, but Zhang Tieniu had no objection.
"Okay! Wait a minute." Xu Yanwu turned around and began to discuss with the people following him.
"We will only wait for you for half an hour, please speed up." Deng Guoming was worried and reminded again.
"Don't worry, it won't take that long." Xu Yanwu was very confident.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the originally chaotic crowd was divided into groups of different sizes, and now the whole group looked much neater.
