Xu Renjie jumped high and shouted: "I'll beat him..."

A confidant servant came out next to him and whispered: "Master, don't fight randomly. When we came here, Brother Zhu Ba had ordered that if there was a conflict with the bandits in the north, we should not take action. It would be better to let the local local brave men take action."

After hearing this, Xu Renjie calmed down and tilted his head to think about it. As Brother Zhu said, although the 100,000 people had made a fortune, the matter would intensify as soon as he took action. Maybe the Northern Line will be uneasy from now on. Due to Brother Zhu's development plan, it is better to leave this kind of thing to the local village heroes to deal with.

He chuckled twice and said, "Let's go, see Li Panlong!"

After half a cup of tea, Li Panlong led a thousand township heroes to the village in the north. In case of precautions, Xu Renjie sent another thousand Zhu troops to follow him far behind.

Fortunately, Zhu Jun did a very good job in reconnaissance. When they arrived at the northernmost village, the grain harvest team of 100,000 had not arrived yet, and the village had not been looted yet. The people were serving early taro in the fields, hoping that this strange new crop could produce delicious food, but they didn't know that there was danger approaching. Li Panlong's village brave army came and scared them. Fortunately, they were all from the villagers, but they were scared but they were not scared and they were explained clearly soon.

Li Panlong scattered the brave troops in the village and hiding them, while Xu Renjie's men hid in the woods a mile south of the village.

Xu Renjie and Li Panlong sat shoulder to shoulder on the ridge of the village. Li Panlong smashed his mouth and said, "Mr. Xu, you are really good at calling people."

"Who told you not to surrender?" Xu Renjie smiled and said, "You nodded and followed us. From now on, Luochuan will be your county. Only you can command others, no one can command you."

Li Panlong flattened his mouth and said, "Do you think I am a scholar easily? I have been taking the exam for ten years. If I follow you to be a thief, my ancestors' reputation will be ruined. By the way, Mr. Xu, you are also a innocent family of several generations of ancestors. Although businessmen are cheap, they are rich, and donating officials is not difficult. Why do you want to follow the thief?"

Xu Renjie laughed: "Didn't I say it? I like to fight. Where can I get the opportunity to fight as a businessman? Or do I come happily as a thief."

"But... if you lose a battle, you will die." Li Panlong whispered: "How can you succeed when you are a thief? You will be wiped out by the court sooner or later, and you will die without a place to die."

Xu Renjie raised his eyes to the sky, looked at the blue sky, and could not even see a cloud, and said seriously: "If I were to follow other people, I might have died long ago, but it would be my luck to be able to follow Brother Zhu. I believe that the court cannot win us, and I will definitely enjoy the fun of war until I become a real Grand Marshal."

Li Panlong shrugged helplessly.

"So... Li Maocai, you should take over the position of Luochuan County Magistrate as soon as possible." Xu Renjie grabbed his hat and said helplessly: "I don't want to be Luoshizi County Magistrate. I want to fight, fight."

At this time, a group of thieves appeared on the loess road north of the village. The number was not large, with about two hundred people. They had cloth bags wrapped around their waists, waving swords and guns in their hands, and walked towards the small village with great power. These thieves were the grain-buying teams under the command of 100,000. They did not look like Zhu Ba. After occupying the territory, they seriously engaged in agriculture and development. Instead, they kept sending thieves to grab food everywhere. The people who snatched the food had no help and had to join their gang, or they could only flee south and join Zhu Yuanzhang's command.

In short, being able to spend 100,000 yuan is a guy who only knows how to destroy but does not know how to build.

In just one or two months, most of the places around Yan'an were snatched into white land by them. They could not grab anything in the Yan'an Prefecture, so they began to walk south intentionally or unintentionally, crossing the territory line drawn by Zhu Yuanzhang and Mian's hundred thousand, trying to cross the boundary and make a fuck.

Xu Renjie looked at the figures of the people from afar and couldn't help but spat: "Li Maocai, have you seen that if Brother Zhu is such a thief, I won't join the group..."

Li Panlong sighed: "Don't you like fighting? Let this war be fought for you! From now on, you are Li Panlong in Luochuan."

When Xu Renjie heard this, he was overjoyed: "I'm just thinking about it."

After a while, two hundred thieves forced themselves to the village. The people scattered outside the village pretending to farm were "scared" and ran away, and all returned to the house. A small leader of the thief army laughed and said, "Brothers, move faster, just grab all the things and leave, don't mess with Zhu Ba's people."

"Hey!"

"So what if Zhu Ba's people come? We are thieves, they are also thieves. We stole a small village in their territory. Although we are unreasonable in the world, they make a big deal about this matter, and other rebels have to look down on them."

The bandits burst into the village while laughing.

I saw two Yuanwailangs standing in the village, one of whom was smiling and said with great aura: "Stop! I am Li Panlong, a scholar in Luochuan. Why don't you retreat quickly?"

"Scholar? Is there a hippie scholar like you?" The thieves hummed: "Bluff, hum! Kill this guy by random knife."

The bandits came in a hurry.

Xu Renjie put on a very pretentious look, waved his hand with a little wise look, and was about to say, "The ambush comes out..."

But before he could speak, the village warriors lying in the village could no longer help but roared out of the house, in the ditches, behind the stone mills, behind the big trees, and from the houses.

Li Panlong created a very uniform spear for these rural heroes. The rural heroes rushed out from all directions and stabbed the spears in the middle. The more than 200 thieves were completely out of control and dozens of them were instantly knocked down.

It was not until this time that Xu Renjie's four words "amvenge comes out" were yelling. He said with a loud blow: "Li Maocai, you rural brave men have not been well trained, so why don't you receive the order? Then you rushed out?"

Li Panlong had a bitter face: "I am just a village hero, not a regular officer or a soldier. Of course, I don't obey orders very much. Do you still expect me to be like a mountain?"

"Shi Oh, then what can I do?" Xu Renjie was very angry.

"That's why I asked you to command." Li Panlong laughed sinisterly.

Xu Renjie was speechless.

The village warriors beat the fewer, and the spear was very unpleasant. Although these village warriors were not very good at training and morale, the training and morale of the two hundred bandits were even worse. Moreover, the village warriors had a great advantage in number and their weapons were relatively unified. In a short while, two hundred thieves were stabbed and half of them were lying down. The remaining hundred thieves were frightened and screamed, twisted into a rope and rushed northward, trying to break out of the village.

This is also a blessing for the people surrounding them, not regular troops. If the regular troops surrounded these two hundred thieves, they would definitely not be able to kill them, but the thieves were far from being far away. The thieves were fighting hard at first, and the morale of the thieves was revealed. The spears surrounding the north were not very enlightened. They were rushed by the thieves who were red-eyed and were about to fight to the death. The thieves dodged to both sides. Although dozens of thieves were still left behind, they finally allowed more than a dozen thieves to break out of the siege.

Xu Renjie was very upset and grabbed Li Panlong and said, "What's the point of you, the village heroes? You are simply a bunch of waste."

Li Panlong said: "Everyone said it was a village hero, not a regular officer and soldier. Don't ask too much about them."

Xu Renjie said: "You can't train them well? Make them like a real army."

Li Panlong flattered his mouth: "If I really make the village hero like that, aren't you and Zhu Ba afraid that I will drive you out?"

Xu Renjie laughed: "If you think you are better than Hong Chengchou, you might as well give it a try. Li Maocai, let me tell you something serious, this is not a false statement..."

He paused and said seriously: "Our Zhu army adopts elite military power and has few troops. Now that the territory is expanding, it is inevitable that some places will not take good care of themselves. If, I mean, if Tongguan and Wuguan in the south are attacked by the 36th Battalion or officers and soldiers, I may lead my troops to retreat to the south for reinforcements. What should I do if there is a hundred thousand people coming here in the north?"

His words immediately scared Li Panlong.

Xu Renjie continued: "Aren't you a good citizen? It's not too funny to expect me as a thief to protect you? Why not try your best to protect yourself? Clean up your brave army so that they can fight more. I won't be here in the future, and you must be able to protect yourself."

Li Panlong said: "Zhu Ba really has this kind of demeanor to allow us gentry to organize the army? Isn't he afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xu Renjie smiled: "Brother Zhu said that the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will win the world. What our Zhu army does is to share the benefits of the world. If Li Maocai felt that our Zhu army was better than 100,000, better than the 36th battalion, and even better than the imperial government, how could you go against us? It would be too late to help us."

"How is this... possible..." Li Panlong was confused.

Seeing that his expression was strange, Xu Renjie smiled and said, "You don't have to have a bitter face. Let me tell you, when the potato harvest is harvested, you will know who the people's hearts will be towards. Even if you ask your hometown soldiers to attack me, they will not take action. If you believe it or not, you can see if you believe it or not."

Li Panlong shook his head: "I really don't believe this evil!"

"Then let's make a bet." Xu Renjie smirked, "If I make the right decision, you will be the magistrate of Luochuan County of our Zhu Jun in the future. If I say it wrong, let your whole family go out of Shaanxi and let you out of our control."

Li Panlong was skeptical: "A gentleman's word."

Xu Renjie hummed, "Have a whip!"

"Hey, you are a thief. Does speaking count?" Li Panlong shouted loudly.

"I'm dizzy. If I'm really a cruel thief, I'll stab you to death with one knife." Xu Renjie was very angry.
