Independent Heading

After staying one night in Xiangyang City and leaving some food and money for Zhao Jin, Li Ping led all his troops out of the city and rushed to the new camp.

Along the way, Song Baolai, who was in high spirits, kept talking like a chatterbox, as if he had been suppressed for several lifetimes without speaking.

Thinking about it, those people in the camp, Song Baolai, really had nothing to say to them, and Zhao Jin had a bad-looking face and always pretended to be serious, so Song Baolai didn't dare to approach easily. In the past ten days, it was probably

Suffocated.

Song Baolai is now Li Ping's deputy general manager, and he and Li Ping have a joint venture.

This was Song Baolai's carefully considered choice.

These days, Song Baolai has no idea how to recruit soldiers and buy horses. Moreover, he is not very interested in fighting or is a little worried. He also wants to be the boss but is very interested in being a soldier.

Panic.

The military is a very unfamiliar field to him, and he always doesn't know where to start, so much so that his eight men are now more like construction workers than soldiers.

Song Baolai understood that the main task of the army was to fight, and he shuddered every time he thought about this. He was completely unprepared to live on a knife's edge, and he didn't want to be killed for it, especially since he was severely bleeding.

Although being the leader of an army sounds majestic and powerful, if you don't have that ability, it will be a disaster instead of a blessing. He is not the kind of person with big ambitions, and he is usually a knowledgeable person.

He is a sensible person, and his experiences these days have basically given him away from any extravagant hopes.

Then, when he saw that others were growing in strength, he became more and more uneasy. When he heard that Li Ping was also going to leave Dango, the loneliness and helplessness began to become more intense.

As soon as Li Ping came back from the mountains, Song Baolai, who had figured it out, immediately came to look for him.

He wanted to join forces with Li Ping and was willing to be just a deputy with no military affairs.

And Li Ping really needed help and wanted to have a companion. Song Baolai had always been close to him and made it clear that he would only help with logistics, so of course he welcomed him.

Zhao Jin naturally had no opinion on this issue, so everything fell into place.

Although Song Baolai was excited all the way out of the city for the first time, Li Ping was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about the various news that Zhao Jin informed him last night.

General Fang Guoan, the boss of General Huang Chengdong, turned out to be a general military officer and was on the same level as Zuo Liangyu in terms of military position. This was a bit beyond his expectation. Then it was said that Fang Guoan was also very close to Zuo Liangyu.

, was even once a subordinate of Zuo Liangyu, and he also participated in the battle of Zhuxian Town.

This made Li Ping very worried that he had caused a big trouble.

It stands to reason that the boss named Huang Chengdong had no need to give him face at that time. Is it possible that he was really fooled by him for a moment?

But this is even more troublesome! Wouldn’t it make him angry if he reacted?

After all, Huang Chengdong's leadership was not false, and there were many soldiers and horses involved in the robbery that day.

However, it is very strange that there has been no movement for such a long time! It is not difficult to find out the details of Li Ping.

Are you holding back your ultimate move?

Or does the upper management have a more complicated inside story?

Li Ping was puzzled. The amount of information he had was not enough for him to figure it out.

While thinking, a new camp outside the city quickly appeared in front of him, and Li Ping had to quickly adjust his state.

At this time, the camp where hundreds of people gathered was bustling with people. Ma Yong and Duan Qiang were leading the group to clean up the ruins. Pieces of wood were being transported down from the nearby mountains. They were strictly enforcing Li's rule.

Ping left the order.

The soldiers who had followed him all the way south must have played a key role. It looked busy, but not chaotic.

Seeing Li Ping arriving with a large group of people, most of the people working shirtless stopped and gathered around, and then bursts of cheers soon broke out.

Food, daily necessities and women effectively cheered them up.

However, the people who had just arrived, mostly from the city and surrounding areas, reacted completely differently. Most of them had numb expressions and few words, and some even looked panicked.

This semi-ruined place obviously cannot arouse their enthusiasm, let alone give them much sense of security.

But Song Baolai was still very excited, and he immediately wandered around curiously.

Although this place is outside the city and is somewhat far away from the clusters of residential buildings outside the city, the green water, green mountains and spacious place can make people feel relaxed and happy.

Hu Zhongshan who followed Li Ping into the city, as well as Duan Qiang and Ma Yong who surrounded him, also looked complacent. The three of them were now more than a thousand people under two people. They were considered to be on a rocket. The simple environment seemed like

It's no longer worth mentioning.

Now, the three of them are closely surrounding Li Ping, waiting for Li Ping to give orders and to display their grand plans.

But Li Ping's brain was aching.

Accommodating one person, ten people or even a hundred people is easy, but settling a thousand people is really a very complicated project, especially since everything is based on nothing. Just thinking about the amount of the project is enough to make your head spin.

Numb.

It was fine when we first came yesterday, but today we brought a large number of colorful people, men, women, old and young, and then there were also a mess of miscellaneous things, and nearly a thousand people crowded together. The scene was really dizzying and gave birth to strong emotions.

The feeling of not knowing where to start.

"First give out those leather boots and shoes to our old veterans. I have to honor my promise to everyone. I will also give it to General Song's eight original subordinates." After rubbing his head for a long time, Li Ping announced.

the first command.

These leather boots and shoes were completed after Li Ping left the city, and the workmanship is quite good. To be able to complete it so quickly, those small leather workers, professional shoemakers and many other craftsmen know a little bit about everything.

People have played an important role and have done more.

"this…?"

"Now?"

Instead of the roaring promise he imagined, Li Ping received hesitation and confusion.

"Is there any problem?" Li Ping glanced at the three people in front of him in confusion.

"Boss, do you think it would be good to give out a pair? Is it a waste to give each person two pairs? Many of the new recruits are barefoot. We have so many people now that we can save some money!" Hu Zhongshan said in Li

Ping was the first to speak under his gaze.

"Everyone can see our current conditions. I think everyone should be able to understand that each person is only given one pair. As long as we promise to make up for it when the conditions are good, it won't count as words." Ma Yong followed closely.

Later, he also put forward what is actually a similar view.

"I think so too." Although Duan Qiang didn't say much, his attitude was very clear.

The three people dared to put forward different opinions directly because Li Ping was willing to listen to different opinions in these days and did not have a hobby of talking to each other.

However, the fact that these three people spoke in unison must be because they had communicated before. Perhaps because Li Ping never mentioned this matter again, he felt that Li Ping also had new ideas.

What they said cannot be said to be unreasonable, and it is even more valuable to stand directly from the perspective of the head. At least it means that they already have a certain sense of belonging. Otherwise, if they just plan to hang out, the more benefits they can get, the better. Their wealth is not enough for them.

I won't care.

But Li Ping has made up his mind on this issue and has his own considerations.

What he needs is not only attachment, but also centripetal force, and it is not a good thing to break his promise so quickly and make everyone pigeons, especially at this moment when veterans are most needed to drive and control the situation.

This is why he must do this first.

"People can't stand without faith, and businesses can't prosper without faith. What's more, there are no jokes in the army. As long as we have the conditions, we must keep our promises. You can implement them together!" Li Pinglue organized his words and said firmly.

Li Ping's sonorous words caused a ray of light to flash in the eyes of the sentry commander Ma Yong. He straightened up a little and answered "yes" loudly. Duan Qiang on the side was a little confused by him.

Then he responded.

Only Hu Zhongshan seemed to have some ideas and scratched his head, but when he was about to say something, he was dragged away by Ma Yong, leaving only the staccato sounds of "Hey" and "I, I...".

Taking advantage of the time when the three sentry commanders were organizing the distribution of shoes to the "veterans", Li Ping caught up with Song Baolai who was wandering around, and decided to take a look at the whole camp with him first, so as to find out something about it.

Basic construction plan.

There are thousands of people, both men and women, and some are soldiers and civilians. It is definitely not possible to let everyone build nests randomly here and there. There must be overall arrangements.

"Leave it to me! You ask me how to build it and I'll do it. I've been thinking about these things these days. It's easier to do it this time with enough space. Anyway, it's just a simple one, and you won't have to keep it for three to five days.

Sleeping outside." Song Baolai didn't take Li Ping's troubles as a big deal at all.

In another life, this guy often helped the villagers when they were building houses. He also had some experience in building houses, and even built a small factory. He accumulated more experience in Xiangyang City in the early days.

With a lot of experience in working quickly, Li Ping's headaches seemed to be nothing to him.

There are specialties in the art industry, and many things are not complicated in front of "professionals".

Li Ping was overjoyed when he learned the whole story, and immediately decided to give Song Baolai full responsibility for the entire barracks construction, and all personnel were assigned and dispatched to him.

Song Baolai was also very happy about Li Ping's trust, patting his chest and repeatedly ensuring that there would be no problem.

Just as the two were about to study the overall plan, a burst of continuous cheers gradually interrupted them.

That was when the emotions of the soldiers who had just received new shoes were reignited.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ping took Song Baolai to the place where shoes were distributed. He wanted to see people's reactions.

As expected, the "veterans" were all in high spirits. They gathered in small groups to try on clothes repeatedly and show off. When they saw Li Ping, they were even more enthusiastic and couldn't help shouting "Thank you, Mr. Boss". Many people gathered around.

The other soldiers and civilians on the side also looked envious.

Li Ping knew that his goal had been achieved.

Song Baolai fully recognized Li Ping's approach without feeling distressed at all. Although he was already the head of logistics, these things would be under his control from now on.
