Chapter 11 Buying People's Hearts
"When I returned to the head of the army, no one died. Seven brothers were slightly injured, killed 26 enemies, captured 41 people, and the rest ran away. A one-level one-star Yuan Beast big-headed horse was seized, three low-grade Yuan stones, a small amount of elixirs and some property, and there was no time to count them." Soldiers reported.
"Very good. Leave the Yuan stones, elixirs, gold and silver, and other materials, including copper coins, all of them were returned to the village. We immediately returned to the village. The reinforcements from the Heiqi Village will arrive soon. We have too few people, so we should not fight head-on." Xu Boju made a decision in an instant.
Buy people's hearts and strategic retreat.
"Friends, we are from Qingfeng Village. We will not steal the common people. Our village leader left you the robbed property and piled it in the rice field. You can take it back as soon as possible and then go out to hide." The soldiers shouted and left the village.
When I returned to the village, it was already dark. Fortunately, I was safe all the way and I didn’t encounter any more trouble.
Just as they walked about two incense sticks, a large group of people, at least 300 people, came to the village, looking at the corpses and discarded pots and pans all over the ground, and the village where only a few elderly people were left.
"Damn it, hurry up and let the bastards of Qingfeng Village run away."
"Second leader, should we catch up with you? I believe they haven't gone far yet."
The second head of the army touched the horse's hair and pondered for a while: "It's dark, so don't chase me. Take all the corpses of my brothers back first. Sooner or later, we will find Qingfeng Village to calculate the calculations clearly."
No one remembers the original name of Heiqi Peak. Anyway, after being occupied by Heiqi Village, it was renamed Heiqi Peak.
"Second brother, how are you?" A strong man with long beards and dark face came to the gate of the village to greet him.
"Brother, it's still one step late, so I let the dog thieves from Qingfeng Village run away. I saw that it was getting late and I was afraid of being ambushed, so I brought the bodies of my seventh brother and my brothers back."
"Well, you are doing the right thing. If you can run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple, this beam has been considered a foregone conclusion."
"Brother, although Qingfeng Village is not as big as before, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the Xianquan Peak is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have no hope of winning. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses."
"What advice do you have for me?"
"We can contact the Baihu Village and Laogui forces to deal with Qingfeng Village. They had a rift with Qingfeng Village before. As for the remaining Zhangjiagou and Laolong Club, they had a good relationship with Qingfeng Village before, but Xu Qingtian was dead. The tea was cold. They looked down on the guy Liu Butcher, as long as we keep it confidential in advance, once the alliance is successful, even if they find it later, I believe they will not interfere."
They have not received news that Butcher Liu has died and Xu Boju has become the new village leader.
"Second brother, don't forget that there is another Sanyang Kingdom that is eyeing Qingfeng Village. Qingfeng Village is a thorn in their eyes. They finally killed Xu Qingtian. If the meat in their mouth is intercepted by us, will it cause trouble for us?" A middle-aged man who is only about 1.5 meters tall and has a goatee beard worried.
"Hmph, Sanyang Kingdom's wolf ambitions, what they want is not just a Qingfeng Village, but the entire Qingfeng Mountain. We will be the enemy sooner or later, and there will be a battle sooner or later. The second brother's suggestion is good. We can take advantage of this opportunity to jointly attack Qingfeng Village and unite the forces of the entire Qingfeng Mountain. As long as we join forces, with the terrain of Qingfeng Mountain, Sanyang Kingdom will have no choice. Otherwise, when they destroy Qingfeng Village, they will defeat the other five of our other families one by one." The boss has long seen through the conspiracy of Sanyang Kingdom.
"Brother said it is right. We must take the initiative now. Now is an opportunity. I volunteered to go to Baihu Village and Lao Gui himself."
"Hahaha, okay, I'm still worried about others. My second brother is the think tank of our village. If you go, I'll be at 100." The boss was very satisfied.
....................................
"Big boss, you are finally back. Everyone is worried about you. Huh? What are these?"
Master Qin was very curious when he looked at the prisoners brought by Xu Boju.
"Master Qin, you have troubled you. These are the little boys from the Heiqi Village that I took down today." Xu Boju did not take this matter to heart.
"Press all into the dungeon first."
Mr. Qin frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "The boss, our Qingfeng Village is weak now, so it is not appropriate to provoke more enemies. Although this Black Flag Village was not as good as us in the past, it still has a great threat to the current copycat."
"Of course Qin, I know the importance of this matter. But if you do something and don't do anything, our Qingfeng Village will not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. This is the same now." Xu Boju said seriously.
"Well, okay, the boss knows it, then I won't worry."
"How many houses did Mr. Qin build today? Seeing that Yunhai Peak's brothers are coming soon, you can't let your brothers sleep in the open air. The nights in Qingfeng Mountain are very cold and it is easy to catch a cold." Xu Boju asked.
"Please rest assured, the boss, I'm personally catching this matter. Many brothers from Tieya Peak have realized the mistake and have surrendered to us again. With their help, the progress is very fast. When the brothers from Yunhai Peak come tomorrow, there will definitely be a place to live." Mr. Qin was full of confidence.
At noon the next day, Zhang Qing led all the brothers and the elderly, weak, women and children of Yunhai Peak to the main peak under the anticipation. The place suddenly became a little crowded, but it was very popular and looked prosperous.
The largest house in the village is Xu Boju’s house.
"Zhang Qing, Master Qin, there are no outsiders here. I have something very important to tell you." Xu Boju said.
"Please give me instructions, boss."
"Let me tell you the two of you first. I am unwilling to be a bandit for the rest of my life. There is no way out. Only by developing and building our own country can we have a future. Even if it is just a low-level vassal state like the third-class country, it is better than now." Xu Boju said straightforwardly that the loyalty of these two people is higher than 90, so there is no need to worry.
The two of them had heard Xu Boju say before, but now they are still a little passionate. No one really wants to be a bandit, it is all forced by life. If they can establish a country and become a regular army, that is what everyone hopes.
Seeing the reactions of the two, Xu Boju knew that they had no objection, and this was easy to deal with.
