The Bad Guys: Their understanding is beyond belief, shocking the Bad Guys

In Shanzhou City, including the official Liang army and the private soldiers raised by the wealthy families, there were nearly 10,000 people in total.

Among these more than 10,000 people, Su Qingjue selected some strong and capable men and dispersed them into the existing military formation.

As for the rest, Su Qingjue ordered people to give them some rations and then sent them home.

After all, these soldiers are of varying quality, and it is impossible to accept them all.

Even for the elite soldiers selected, it will take some time to integrate into the existing military formation.

When the remaining soldiers learned that they could go home, they were all grateful to Su Qingjue.

I thought they followed the governor in surrendering, so they should be considered surrendered soldiers.

Given the current treatment of soldiers, it was already very good for them to be able to get some hard labor and make a living.

However, they did not expect that the general of Qi State was so kind that he was willing to let them go and even gave them extra food for the journey.

Not only that.

They also heard that those elite troops who were selected were treated exceptionally well, far exceeding their previous treatment.

At this moment, the soldiers who were not selected actually felt a little disappointed.

They looked at their former fellow villagers being selected with envy in their eyes.

The soldiers are not fools. They join the army only because they are forced and not voluntarily.

Everyone else just wants to make a living from this.

After all, being able to eat enough is a very happy thing these days.

Even though there is a risk of dying in battle by joining the army, it is still a hundred times better than starving to death.

"Er Gouzi, have you made up your mind? You really don't want to go back home with us?"

Some of the soldiers from their hometown who failed the election prepared to travel together and return to their hometown.

"No, if I join the Qi army, I can not only eat enough, but also eat meat occasionally. The monthly salary is much more than what I get in the Liang army. I just need to save up some more time, and when I return home, I will have enough money to marry a wife."

"If I am lucky enough to make military achievements, I might even be able to become a general in the future!"

"By then, I can drink and eat as much as I want, and I can even marry a few more wives..."

To these low-level soldiers, those generals with miscellaneous titles were already top figures.

Their ambitions are naturally that simple.

After hearing Er Gouzi's words, the unsuccessful soldiers actually felt very upset.

Naturally, they also wanted to stay, but there was definitely no chance now.

The great general had strict discipline in his army, and these people all had problems to varying degrees, so naturally they could not join the Qi army.

However, although they could not stay, the idea that the Qi army treated them well was deeply imprinted in their minds.

When these people return to their hometowns, they will become the "publicity ambassadors" of the Qi Army, making Su Qingjue famous while attracting more talents for him.

For Su Qingjue, talents are like Han Xin selecting soldiers, the more the better!

A few more days passed.

After finishing their tasks, Shanzhou Governor Chen Wentao and Qian family patriarch Qian Yiyuan immediately went to the government office to meet Su Qingjue.

The two men met at the gate of the government office by chance, each with a strange look on their face.

Especially Chen Wentao, when he saw Qian Yiyuan, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a stink bug.

No wonder they refused to see me when I visited them. It turned out they had been ready to surrender for a long time.

Moreover, judging from the situation at the time, the other party might very likely chop off his head after breaking into the city gate and present it to the general to claim credit.

I have never offended them, but these people did not treat me as a human being at all, and even wanted to murder me secretly.

This...from now on we will be mortal enemies!

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, Chen Wentao snorted coldly:

"Master Qian really has a good plan, but... we'll see what happens in the future!!"

After saying this, he didn't even look at Qian Yiyuan and walked straight to the backyard of the government office.

Qian Yiyuan smiled awkwardly.

He bowed to the soldiers on duty around him, and then followed him in.

There were so many people around him that he couldn't confront the other party on the spot.

If this gets to the general's ears, it might affect the image of the Qian family in the general's mind.

So, Qian Yiyuan forced himself to suppress his anger.

He appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was already cursing all of Chen Wentao's ancestors.

He admitted that his initial idea was to break into the city gate and then kill Chen Wentao to claim credit.

But didn’t this happen?

You, Chen Wentao, are not only alive and well now, but you have also earned a good impression in front of the general because of your offering of the city.

If the general ascends to the throne in the future, you will have the merit of following the dragon.

Isn't this enough for you?

After all, Chen Wentao, you are the governor of a state, but you don’t even have the magnanimity to tolerate others?

No wonder you always look so poor. You won’t be able to eat four dishes in your life!

In fact, it is not difficult to see from Qian Yiyuan’s thoughts that he never took Chen Wentao seriously.

Even though Chen Wentao was the governor of a state, in Qian Yiyuan's eyes, Chen Wentao, who came from a poor family, was not on the same level as them.

......

"See the General!"

Chen Wentao walked into the study, stood not far from the desk, and bowed.

Beside him, Qian Yiyuan bowed deeply with a flattering smile on his face.

"Your humble servant greets my lord!"

After hearing this, Chen Wentao frowned slightly.

Su Qingjue looked at the head of the Qian family with some interest.

Chen Wentao said respectfully: "General, the fire in the city has been put out, and all the aftermath work has been handled properly."

Su Qingjue smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

"My Lord, I have already contacted all the major families in Shanzhou, and they are all willing to join you."

"I took the initiative to raise millions of taels of money with those great families to help the general attack Liang!"

When Qian Yiyuan saw Chen Wentao being praised by Su Qingjue, he naturally didn't want to be left behind.

He used the same method he had used against Zhu Wen before, hoping to gain some credit by using money.

In Qian Yiyuan's eyes, all the warlords love money.

Only with money can you recruit soldiers and horses, only with money can you conquer the world!

Why are the princes so interested in the legendary Longquan treasure? Isn't it because there are massive treasures there?

Qian Yiyuan believed that Su Qingjue was no different from other princes.

However, what he didn't expect was that Su Qingjue did not show any excitement in the face of the huge fortune of millions of strings of cash.

Qian Yiyuan thought Su Qingjue had a big appetite and wanted more.

He gritted his teeth and added, "My Qian family is also willing to donate three iron mines and one copper mine."

Qian Yiyuan spent a lot of money this time.

In order to leave a good impression on Su Qingjue and for the future of the Qian family, he directly gave one-third of his family property to Su Qingjue.

Su Qingjue smiled and nodded, "Very good, I will remember you as the first contributor to the Qian family!"

Seeing this, Qian Yiyuan glanced proudly at Chen Wentao who was standing silently beside him.

That expression seemed to say, "See? As long as you have money, your contribution to the city is nothing more than that!"

however.

Qian Yiyuan didn't know Su Qingjue.

If there were acquaintances present at the scene, they would have noticed that Su Qingjue’s smile at this moment was exactly the same as the smile he had before he went on a killing spree.
