Chen Chu glanced at the bandits, and then said, "I know that most of the people here are forced to become bandits!" Now that the thief has been executed, I will not pursue the past anymore, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will accept you as an official army! The

bandits suddenly muttered, and most of them showed expressions of interest.

Seeing that the situation was about to develop in the direction that Chen Chu hoped for, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded among the bandits: "Don't be deceived by him!" How can there be a good person in office! Once we lay down our weapons, we will surely die without a place to be buried! It's better to fight now, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! "

The situation that had eased up suddenly became tense. The two sides are tense and see that the situation is about to get out of control again.

"Wen Yuan, do you know who is speaking?" Chen Chu asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Liao nodded, his sharp eyes always staring at the bandits' military formation.

"Get him out of here."

"Yes." Zhang Liao agreed, and then shook off the corpse of the second master who was picked on the big knife, and then walked towards the bandit army in such a big stride. That spirit really looked at the thousands of troops in front of him as nothing.

Everywhere Zhang Liao went, the bandits scattered on both sides.

Zhang Liao came to a young man with a long-handled broadsword. At this time, this young man was already frightened, he obviously didn't expect this terrible military general to dare to break into the military formation alone, and what made him even more unbelievable was that no one among the bandits dared to stop this general.

Zhang Liao smiled coldly, stretched out his left hand and lifted the young thief with a thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes like a chicken, and then dragged it out.

Returning to Chen Chu, Zhang Liao threw the young thief hard and threw a vicious dog to rob.

"Big brother, what I said just now is what this guy said." Zhang Liao pointed to the young thief who was lying on the ground and hummed and chirped, and said affirmatively.

Chen Chu looked at this thief, and saw that this person had a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, exuding a very uncomfortable temperament all over his body, just like those gangsters in later generations.

"Spare your life! The little one was also forced by someone just now! The small ones have children on the top and under the halls! Spare your life! The young thief cried and begged for mercy, he was about to hug Chen Chu's thigh, but he was held down by several soldiers.

"Big brother, what to do with this guy?" Zhang Liao glanced at the young thief contemptuously, and then asked.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Chu's eyes, "This person is cunning and despicable, trying in vain to provoke a military disaster, it's really hateful!" Slashed! "

Yes." Two soldiers then held down the young bandit, and the other raised his ring-headed knife and slashed it down as the bandit pleaded. Then I saw a head roll to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the bandits jumped in unison, and their faces showed fear.

At this time, Chen Chu pointed to the bandit who was in a different place and said to the bandits: "This is the final fate of being a bandit." I believe that none of you want to be turned into a corpse with a different body and be spit on after death. I can give you a chance now, and if you surrender, I can be blamed for all your past. The

bandits immediately looked moved. The vast majority of them, as Chen Chu said, were forced to become bandits, and now that Chen Chu had given them a chance, of course they were not willing to give up. In addition, since the big and small leaders of the cottage have basically been lost in the previous raids, the current bandits have lost any fighting spirit at all. The reason why the thieves are still hesitant is that they are completely worried that Chen Chu will break his promise.

There was a brief cold scene at the scene. After a few moments, one of the bandits finally came out and lowered his weapon.

Chen Chu glanced at him, this was an older bandit. "Very well, I'll ask you. Would you rather join the army or return home? Chen Chu asked pleasantly.

The bandit knelt down and pleaded, "My lord, I want to go home, please let me go."

Chen Chu nodded, "Of course, you can leave now." The

thief stood up, his eyes showing gratitude, and tentatively walked out a few steps, then turned back to look at Chen Chu again. Chen Chu nodded at him.

The bandit then turned and ran out. Sure enough, as Chen Chu had promised, no one stopped him.

With such an example, the bandits immediately put down the burden in their hearts, rushed to put down their weapons and knelt down, expressing their willingness to surrender.

At this time, Chen Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu handed over the surrender to Zhang Liao to take charge of, and he went to the cottage lobby to rest.

Today, Chen Chu rushed for a day, and then fought wits and courage with the thieves in the cottage, and now Chen Chu only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep after lying on the desk.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Chu felt someone calling him, and then opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Zhang Liao standing next to him.

Chen Chu immediately sat up straight and asked, "Wenyuan, how is the situation outside?"

Zhang Liao immediately replied respectfully with a fist at Chen Chu, "Big brother, there are more than 1,800 thieves who have taken prisoners in total. More than 600 of them have asked to leave, and I have let them go according to the orders of the eldest brother, and the remaining about 1,200 people have asked to join the official army.

Chen Chu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "How is the physical fitness of these remaining prisoners?"

Zhang Liao immediately nodded affirmatively and replied, "It's all good!" And these people all have a certain foundation, as long as a little training can immediately enter the battle!

"In that case, let's take it all. But Wen Yuan, you have to take good military discipline for me, these people are used to being idle when they are bandits, I don't want a group of bandit soldiers in my army! Chen Chu emphasized.

"Big brother, don't worry! I promise that in a month, they will become a Han officer with strict military discipline! Zhang Liao patted his chest and reassured. At this time, there was a trace of excitement in Zhang Liao's eyes, as a leading general, none of them would be unhappy when they saw more and more subordinates.

Chen Chu nodded, he didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhang Liao's ability.

"Wenyuan, what have you seized?" Chen Chu asked again.

Zhang Liao woke up suddenly, and immediately replied: "I almost forgot!" Although I have sent someone to guard the warehouse of this cottage, I still have time to count it!

Chen Chu suddenly became interested, only to see him stand up abruptly and say, "Let's go, go and see if there are any good things!"

Chen Chu immediately walked to the warehouse accompanied by Zhang Liao, and dozens of soldiers followed.

Chen Chu was stunned, Zhang Liao was stunned, and everyone was stunned. In front of Chen Chu is a mountain of grain, not an adjective, but a mountain of grain that is indeed piled up.

Chen Chu roughly estimated that these grains were at least one million catties!

"Good boy! I can't imagine that being a bandit can be so rich! Zhang Liao on the side couldn't help but sigh. Chen Chu also nodded sympathetically.

After a long while, Chen Chu and the others, who had come back to their senses, continued to search the warehouse to see if there were anything else.

Soon, Chen Chu and the others found a large number of black-gray items with metallic luster. Zhang Liao only glanced at it and said affirmatively: "This is an iron ingot." Chen Chu also saw that in the blacksmith workshop in Longhu Village, he had seen this kind of thing. Chen Chu hurriedly estimated that this pile of iron ingots was at least 100,000 catties. Chen Chu couldn't help but feel happy again.

Subsequently, Chen Chu and the others found a lot of armor and weapons in the warehouse, the number was about 1,000 sets, but the quality was worse than the equipment of the army under Chen Chu's command.

After taking a turn in the bandit warehouse, Chen Chu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. This trip is very rewarding! First of all, grain, so much grain was seized so that Chen Chu no longer had to worry about the food problem in a short time; The second is the 100,000 catties of iron ingots, in terms of value alone, the value of these 100,000 catties of iron ingots is not less than 10,000 gold, of course, Chen Chu will not sell these iron ingots, he wants to use these 100,000 catties of iron ingots to create a batch of elite equipment. By the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, what would an army of steel behave like? Chen Chu is very much looking forward to this.

Coming out of the warehouse, Chen Chu immediately sent additional troops to guard the warehouse.

Back in the lobby of the cottage, Chen Chu suddenly remembered something and said: "The thieves of this Tiger Roaring Village have robbed so much grain and iron ingots, but why don't they see a penny!"

Zhang Liao also felt strange when he heard this, so he said: "Big brother, why don't I call a soldier who was originally a bandit and ask?" Chen Chu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Liao left immediately, and after a while, he walked in with a strong man with a black scarf on his head.

"Little Li San visits the lord!" The strong man knelt down and kowtowed five steps in front of Chen Chu, his tone was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I just came to you to ask about something. Stand up and talk back. Chen Chu said softly with a smile.

"Thank you, lord!" The strong man hurriedly thanked him, then stood up and waited to ask.

"Is there a vault in the cottage?" Chen Chu pondered for a moment and asked.

The strong man immediately nodded and replied, "Back to the lord, the cottage does have a treasury."

Chen Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh! Do you know where the vault is? The

strong man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Lord, I used to be just a small leader in the cottage!" Where to be qualified to know the location of the vault! In fact, don't talk about me, even the middle leader of the cottage doesn't know, there are only three big bosses who know the exact location of the vault!

Chen Chu nodded, feeling that this situation was also very reasonable. I wonder how it is possible for a subordinate to know about the vault!

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then do you know the approximate location of the vault?" The

strong man lowered his head and thought for a while, with a look of uncertainty on his face.

"If you know what's going on, just say it. Even if it's wrong, I won't blame you! Chen Chu saw the strong man's concerns, so he said.

After receiving Chen Chu's assurance, the strong man who had no worries said to Chen Chu: "Lord Qiqi, I guess the treasury of the cottage should be in the inner hall."

"Oh, why do you think so?"

"Because every time after making a business or receiving a merchant and a county honor, the precious things and money will be transported to the inner hall by the cronies of the three great masters. So the little one thinks that the vault is in the inner hall.

Chen Chu nodded, and then glanced at Zhang Liao, so Zhang Liao said to the strong man: "Okay, you can go down." This gold is given to you by the Lord. As he spoke, Zhang Liao also took out an ingot of gold from his arms and handed it to the strong man.
