At dawn, Li Yi asked everyone to get up and load the cars, preparing to leave the village.

While everyone was busy, the monkey came over with two people. When he saw Li Yi, he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Brother, are you leaving? Although this Tiger Mountain is not very steep, it can still manage a landscape.

, why not stay here and create a legacy.”

Li Yi easily carried three bags of grain onto the bullock cart, patted the ashes on his body, and said: "I am a kind person, how could I become a thief? Even if I were willing, these kind people around me would not want to."

In fact, this Tiger Mountain is really good. It occupies the main road connecting the east and west of the Taihang Mountains, and there is also a built walled city that can be used. If you gather people to become thieves, depending on your own abilities, you can also achieve great success.

But a thief is a thief. If you are a thief once, you will never be able to clean it up for the rest of your life. With such an identity, there are too many restrictions in this era. From this perspective, Tianliang Village is very useless and should be abandoned.

After saying this, Li Yi waved his hand and saw Zhang San and Li Si walking over carrying two sacks.

"It's time to fulfill the promise I made to you. Here are one hundred taels of silver and some grain. Take it."

The monkey quickly stepped forward and opened the sack. As Li Yi said, it was full of white silver, which made his eyes shine.

The monkey got the money so easily. The monkey was surprised and happy, and said quickly: "Thank you for the reward, brother. I will be on call whenever I am dispatched."

Li Yi nodded with a smile and said: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If you really want to make a good relationship, we will go to Baoding Mansion and send someone to make acquaintance at that time. Your benefits will be indispensable.

."

The monkey quickly said yes.

"We don't have much use for this cottage. You can use it as a way to get ahead and surrender to the mountains. As for the surrendered bandits, you can take them away if they are willing to follow you." Li Yi added.

This was both a gift of money and a gift of people, and the monkey was extremely excited. He originally wanted to seek refuge in other mountains. If he didn't have his own manpower, he would only be a small leader at most. But as long as he had his own people and money, he would be a small leader.

You can also get much stronger.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously felt very grateful to Li Yi for this next favor.

After exchanging pleasantries, the monkey said goodbye and left.

Zhang San on the side couldn't help but said: "My benefactor, that's one hundred taels of silver. If converted into food, it would be enough for us to eat for five days. Why not just let them go, or hand them over to the government and get another one?"

Pen reward money."

"Then what? What should we do after exchanging the reward? Have you ever thought about it?" Li Yi turned around and asked.

Zhang San's expression was stunned, and he hesitated: "After exchanging the reward money, you will have another sum of money."

"Haha, you think too simply." Li Yi said, "We captured Tianliang Village, which can be regarded as revenge. You kill me, I will kill you, it is fair and aboveboard, and revenge must be retaliated. This is the rule of the world. But.

The monkey is the benefactor who helped us deceive the city gate and help us capture Tianliang Village. Enemies must be avenged, and favors must be repaid. We will repay kindness with enmity and forget our kindness when we see benefits. In the future, not only the remnants of Tianliang Village will regard us as mortal enemies.

, bandits from thousands of miles away in the Taihang Mountains, and people from all corners of the country in Henan will come to us and cause trouble. And these one hundred taels of silver were not spent in vain."

"Isn't it all spent in vain?" Zhang San was confused by what Li Yi said.

"That's right, of course it's not all spent in vain. We are not familiar with the place in Baoding Prefecture. I think that although Monkey is cunning, he is also true-hearted. He has won our favor this time. If I have anything to do with him in the future, he will also come to him.

It's hard to say no. People in the world talk about loyalty and courage, and a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. It will be of great use in the future."

Although Zhang San still didn't understand after hearing this, he trusted Li Yi very much and nodded to explain to the people behind him.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the refugee team started to set off. Because some bandits were willing to follow Li Yi, including about 500 family members, they all joined the team, so the size of the team expanded a lot.

Compared to when they were poor at the beginning, with people starving to death every day, the current team can be said to be extremely rich. At least everyone can have enough to eat every day, and there are dedicated personnel to protect them.

And all this is because of the young man in front of the team.

It can be said that Li Yi is now like a god in the eyes of this group of refugees.

In just one day, this young boy with a tender face was able to enable them to live with dignity and strength. If he is not God, then who else can give them these?

Every refugee believes that as long as he follows his benefactor closely, his life will get better and better in the future.

Three days later, a mighty team entered the territory of Baoding Fucheng.

There are approximately more than 1,500 people in this team. At the front is a young and strong escort team of more than 100 people. In the middle are more than 30 oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies and wounded people. At the back are a vast number of refugees.

Team.

The entire team was in order, with orders and prohibitions. Although it was not an army, it was more orderly than an army marching.

Li Yi rode the best horse in the team at the front, and underneath him was a very strong black horse that was all black.

Now he is no longer like the sickly young man before, but a young warrior wearing a smaller blue armor with a sword hanging on his waist.

Coupled with his fair skin and regular facial features, he looks a bit delicate, but his two dark sword-like eyebrows add a bit of masculinity to him.

Zhang San and Li Si were also riding crookedly on their horses, following Li Yi. They had been practicing their riding skills for a short time, and they could barely sit on the horses without falling off.

On Li Yi's left hand was the old patriarch riding a docile donkey, on his right was the strong Zhang Mingde, and Wang Jin led his company of men and horses to the rear to maintain order.

Because he later took in the bandits, the number of guards now totaled 150. He organized these people into a battalion, which he called the Yong Camp, which means courageous and courageous.

The Yong camp is divided into five companies with company commanders. Li Yi personally serves as the battalion commander and also serves as the company commander of the first company.

Zhang Mingde led a cavalry company of thirty men who could ride horses, he led a first company of thirty military households and strong men, Wang Jin led a second company of thirty young men, and Zhang San led a company of thirty young men.

The third company, and the fourth company composed of thirty young men led by Li Si.

Each company has four corps, and each corps has five brave men, one of whom serves as the corps commander, commanding four people. The four corps have a total of twenty people, plus the ten people directly commanded by the company commander, a total of thirty-one

people.

Although it is too personal to directly arrange people around him to serve as company commanders, Li Yi doesn't know the rest of the people very well, so it is more convenient for people he knows well to command.

The rest of the people did not take this armed force too seriously, and Li Yi's prestige among this group of refugees was unprecedentedly high. No one dared to have any objections, and they only regarded it as a temporary bodyguard.

But when Li Yi formulated the food standards for Yongying, all the refugees became excited.

Once you enter Yongying, you can eat three meals a day, and you can eat every meal. Compared with the two meals a day for other people, you can only be half full. The superior status of Yongying is immediately highlighted.

Because the food and property were all captured by Li Yi and the Yongying men, the rest of the people had no objections, but many regretted that they did not follow Li Yi in attacking Tianliang Village.

But Li Yi did not deny them the opportunity. He announced in public that the Yongying Horse Racing Association would have a small competition every ten days and a big competition every month. Those who failed to meet the standards would be kicked out of Yongying. Once there is a vacancy, they will

Recruit new brave soldiers from everyone.

As soon as this rule came out, the Yongying troops trained even harder. No one wanted to miss out on having enough to eat before being kicked out of the Yongying camp.
