This time, Liu Feng had a clear purpose. What he valued was not the gold, silver, treasures and food on Feihuoshan Mountain.
His purpose was to recruit soldiers, and there were many things he could do during this period.
Besides, he was able to take away two thousand people in the end, so he didn't suffer any loss.
"Alright, I want to see how you lead two thousand refugees and thugs to defeat the bandits in Feihuoshan. They are different from ordinary bandits. They are all well-trained."
"I expect you to flatten the Feishan Mountain."
Liu Feng laughed, his laugh was quite mysterious, and soon, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready.
Liu Feng wrote a notice to recruit soldiers and horses, and then asked the governor to arrange for the yamen runners to post it everywhere in the city.
His idea was very simple. Recruiting soldiers was the first priority this time, and suppressing bandits was just to verify the strength of his own soldiers.
So when to take action, it will naturally be when there are enough soldiers and horses of 2,000 people.
Xia Lihong looked at Liu Feng with some confusion.
"What if recruiting doesn't go smoothly and you don't send troops?"
"Will you deliberately delay the time then?"
Liu Feng shook his head.
"Look carefully at my notice. With these conditions, do you think this will take a long time?"
"Anyone who joins the army will be rewarded for killing the enemy and making contributions. And the rewards are based on heads?"
"Your idea is quite good."
"The soldiers are willing to fight to the death, and they are truly willing to sacrifice themselves."
"Many people took the lead in the announcement just to earn the bounty, but what you want are two thousand brave soldiers."
“Visionary.”
"And as long as you serve in the army, you will be rewarded with mixed grains and rice. Mixed grains and rice are not cheap in Youzhou City right now."
Liu Feng also knew that the price of coarse grain rice in Tianyong City was moderate now, and providing settlement allowances to those who joined the army would also allow them to serve better.
Besides, what he wanted were the ruffians and refugees. These people had experienced many hardships and knew how to cherish the opportunity to eat military rations.
And such people fight more bravely.
Xia Lihong took another look. The notice clearly stated that those who joined the army would be given one stone of mixed grain rice.
One stone. An ordinary family of three only consumes a few kilograms of miscellaneous grain rice throughout the year.
Most of them eat wild vegetables. How many years can one stone of mixed grains last?
Liu Feng is really cruel.
He was now looking forward to Liu Feng's annihilation of Feihuoshan Mountain.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
"I'm curious. Your rules don't specifically require heads, but rather thumbs as trophies. Aren't you afraid that so many people will end up killing each other for the bounty?"
Xia Lihong asked suddenly.
"No, the soldiers I recruited are definitely not fools. If it were me, I would kill the enemy while keeping an eye on the others. If they died in battle, wouldn't the spoils be mine?"
"If everyone holds this mentality at that time, aren't you afraid that they will all target our own people, and ultimately cause everyone to be at a disadvantage in the battle? What will we do then?"
"I've thought of this as well, so military law becomes very important."
Liu Feng smiled.
Xia Lihong nodded, his eyes showing even greater expectations for Liu Feng.
It’s really not easy.
He was also very clear that under the current circumstances, Liu Feng could only recruit mostly refugees and those uneducated ruffians.
Most of these people have no family, so in the end not much food or shelter can be distributed.
This shows that Liu Feng is good at calculating.
What these people value most is money, so they are extremely brave when killing the enemy and really dare to fight to the death. Their momentum alone is enough to scare the bandits.
The combat effectiveness is beyond words.
However, there are certain risks in Liu Feng using these people.
After all, these people fight bravely and are more difficult to control.
Xia Lihong wanted to see whether Liu Feng could train these two thousand ruffians and vagrants into brave fighters.
"Master Xia, how about this? Please give me someone who is familiar with Feihuoshan Mountain so that we can know each other better."
"Although the army is not there yet, I at least have an idea of it."
"This is also reassuring."
After all, the people he brings with him are risky themselves, so what will happen if he doesn't investigate them clearly in advance?
We are not in our base camp now.
If this happened in Siwa Village, Wang Dingliu would quickly be able to find out the situation of the bandit's lair.
You can design reasonable siege equipment based on the terrain and other factors by using pillars.
But we have nothing now. Not to mention our combat capability, we have no siege equipment, no favorable time or location, and our only advantage is numbers.
Therefore, we must be well prepared and come up with a foolproof plan.
Liu Feng also thought of one thing: in the battle to wipe out the bandits, the survival rate of these recruited people would definitely not be high.
Why?
Because they are all after money.
What Liu Feng wants are the people who survived in the end. These people have experienced the baptism of battle, have fighting ability and fighting will, and know how to cooperate with each other to kill the enemy.
Only people like this would Liu Feng consider letting them join the Tiger Roar Army.
Finally, if it is discovered that there are spies planted by people like Xia Lihong and ugly people entering Siwa Village.
Just find any reason to kill him for violating military law.
According to Liu Feng's estimation, it would be good if only six or seven hundred people could remain from a team of two thousand people. He didn't expect more.
When leaving, Xia Lihong sent a yamen runner.
This yamen runner had participated in the bandit suppression campaign at Feihuoshan Mountain and was very familiar with the terrain of the mountain.
Afterwards, Liu Feng went to Tingyu Pavilion first and instructed Wu Santong to look after the treasures and arrange for the people who had signed up to join the army.
