Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2086 Treasure
Hundreds of robbers, if they refused to beg for mercy and surrender, it would be too easy for Cheng Chumo and the others, just kill them directly.

But now that they are begging for mercy, can they let them go like this?
Letting them go is undoubtedly letting the tiger go back to the mountain. If they do evil again in the future, it will be their responsibility.

But if we don't let them go, how will we deal with them?
People have already surrendered, and killing them is absolutely impossible, so we can only recruit them.

Surrender is surrender, surrender is surrender.

They are short of soldiers and horses now, would it be better to recruit these bandits and let them work for the King of Xiliang?
After thinking about this, Cheng Chumo pulled out his Xuanhua axe, and shouted: "You guys are doing evil in this place, killing people and looting, and want us to let you go. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

Hearing this, Wang Laowu's heart suddenly sank. It seemed that Cheng Chumo was not going to let them go.

Thinking of this, he was a little scared.

The survival instinct of a person is very strong, and soon, he thought of two options. The first is to fight silently with Cheng Chu. Although he may be besieged in the future, he must first solve the immediate problem and survive first.

The second choice is to bear with it for a while and speak more kind words to Cheng Chumo.

Under such circumstances, Wang Lao Wu still did not lose his mind.

After thinking about it, he quickly smiled and said, "General Cheng, please spare my life. As long as General Cheng is willing to spare my life, we can do whatever we want, really."

If Cheng Chumo disagreed, they would be violent.

Cheng Chumo was here, waiting for this sentence, he stuck the Xuanhua ax on the ground, and said: "This general is not a person who likes to kill people, but I let you go, and I am afraid that you will do evil again. In that case, how can this general feel safe?" , Facing those people who were captured by you, this general is a sinner, so if you want to survive, you must be under the supervision of this general."

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Wang Laowu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, so they still have a chance to survive.

"What does General Cheng mean?"

Cheng Chumo said: "Simple, now the king of Xiliang is expanding his army, and you are all men who stand up to the sky. What is the future of being a robber here? Why don't you join the army with me and make meritorious deeds? If you make contributions, Xi King Liang will never treat you badly, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Chumo stared at Wang Laowu, and if Wang Laowu showed the slightest expression of displeasure, he would strike at him with an axe and kill him.

But at this time, Wang Laowu was a little happy.

These people, who wants to be a robber, they can have a meal, they will not be a robber, because the environment here is too harsh, it is not easy to survive, so they can only settle for the next best thing, Come be a robber.

But even if they become robbers, they seldom kill people. The last time they robbed them, they only wanted money, not human life.

"General Cheng gave me a way to survive. There is no reason for us to refuse. We are willing to follow General Cheng and fight against the enemy."

Wang Laowu was talking excitedly, and sincerely, he was so excited that he was about to cry. He suddenly changed from a thief to an officer and soldier. This change was a bit fast, but they liked it.

Cheng Chumo didn't seem to have expected this to happen, which made everyone happy.

But think about it, only those who have nothing will go to work.

And people definitely want to look forward. Being a soldier is better than being a thief, so they will definitely choose to be a soldier.

After all, if you are a thief, if you don't get anything, you will have a hard time, but if you become a soldier, you will have less food in the barracks, and you will still be paid.

Cheng Chumo nodded: "Okay, it seems that your awareness is very high. If so, then you should follow us. In the future, you will have the opportunity to make contributions. If you make contributions, you can also become generals. Here, the King of Xiliang, no matter what It depends on whether you have this ability or not."

This is a big cake that Cheng Chumo drew for them, and this big cake is obviously very useful. After hearing this, Wang Laowu and others became more and more excited. Being a general is really an exciting thing. If they If you can become a general, wouldn't you have everything?

And also honor the ancestors.

Wang Laowu and the others responded excitedly. At this moment, Cheng Chumo suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, are there many robbers in Xiliang?"

When asked about this, Wang Laowu didn't think too much about it, and said: "The land in Xiliang is barren, and many people can't get enough to eat by farming. Not everyone can do business, so once people don't have If you have a way and a way to survive, you will choose to be a robber, so... there are quite a lot of robbers in Xiliang."

This is the truth, Wang Laowu didn't mean to hide it, and of course he also felt like justifying himself a little bit, so that Cheng Chumo felt that they had no choice but to become robbers.

When Cheng Chumo heard that there were many robbers in Xiliang, he immediately became excited and asked, "How many are there?"

"Add up, there should be around five thousand."

5000 people is a lot, but [-] robbers are not a lot. If these [-] robbers burn, kill and loot, how many people will suffer.

But when he heard this number, Cheng Chumo suddenly became excited.

"About five thousand, it's fine, it's fine."

Cheng Chumo was very happy. It seemed that having five thousand robbers was a particularly festive event. This made Wang Laowu a little overwhelmed. No one wanted more robbers, right? Is this Cheng Chumo out of his mind?
But he had just been recruited, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, he just followed Cheng Chumo and laughed silly.

Cheng Chumo glanced at Yuchi Baolin, and said: "Brother Yuchi, we have settled the matter of recruiting soldiers. Find a way to recruit all the five thousand robbers. Our soldiers and horses are enough."

Yuchi Baolin nodded: "Yes, if we can recruit them, the matter of recruiting soldiers will be solved, but the places where they hide are very complicated, for example, in the Gobi desert, we want to find them It’s not easy to come out, and recruiting them will consume a lot of manpower and energy, right?”

The bandits in Xiliang are relatively scattered, the largest one is no more than a thousand people, and the young ones may be only a hundred or so. They are scattered in different places. If you want to recruit them one by one, there is no such thing as half a year. I'm afraid it won't work.

But in half a year and a year, they can recruit almost so many troops directly, and the recruited troops are reassuring to use.

But Cheng Chumo couldn't help it, because he suddenly remembered the treasure.
