    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 97

    ? As night fell, darkness came like a tide, Erlong cottage lit torches, reflecting the entire cottage in a bright light.

    Chen Zi'ang and the others took over the Erlong Village with little effort, seized a mountain of grain, grass and livestock, and could go back to the capital tomorrow to do business. The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion were extremely happy.

    "The food is full, and we will leave for camp tomorrow!"

    These days they were rushing outside to gather food, and it was really hard for them to eat and sleep in the open air. Chen Ziang also ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep to reward the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion.

    Because they were marching outside, Chen Ziang did not let the officers and soldiers drink alcohol. After all, drinking alcohol during the mission would cause trouble.

    The back kitchen has been busy since the afternoon, soft and rotten meat stewed in the hot cauldron, and all kinds of small stir-fries were also brought to the table like flowing water.

    Not only Chen Ziang and the officers and soldiers of the ninth battalion can have a good meal, but also the people in Erlong Village who surrendered to them can also have a good meal.

    Zhou Ba and Li Qiye of Erlong Village are also budget-minded people. They expected that the war would not end immediately, so they were quite frugal on weekdays. As a result, most people did not smell any meat for ten and a half months.

    Now when Chen Ziang came, he directly pulled out some of their captive livestock and slaughtered them, which also made everyone in Erlong Village eat their mouths full of oil, and their hatred for Chen Ziang and the others was a little less in their hearts.

    Zhou Ba and Li Qiye originally wanted to avoid becoming local emperors in Erlong Village, so as to avoid intervening in external disputes.

    However, Chen Ziang's sentence completely changed Li Qiye's mind.

    It is impossible for them to stay out of such a troubled world. There are wars everywhere and endless conquests.

    Even if they escaped the Qinghe army, they might not be able to hide from other troops in the future. Instead of doing this, it is better to let go of their arms and fight hard, and maybe they can win a fame and wealth.

    In addition, all the grain, grass and livestock they stored in Erlong Mountain now fell into Chen Ziang's hands.

    Even if they don't join the Qinghe army, they will lose their food, grass and livestock, and they will have no way to gain a foothold.

    Zhou Ba is an upright person. Although he is the head of Erlong Mountain, he obeys the words of the military adviser Li Qiye in everything.

    After thinking about it again and again, Li Qiye finally compromised, and decided to join Chen Ziang's command and participate in the competition among the heroes.

    Li Qiye was also an ambitious person back then, otherwise he would not have participated in the scientific examinations of the Far Eastern Dynasty again and again.

    It's just that his luck was really unlucky. In the face of corruption-ridden scientific examinations, he failed repeatedly, and he had to return to his hometown in the end.

    If it wasn't for Zhou Ba's rescue, Li Qiye would have starved to death by the roadside by now, turning into a pile of dead bones.

    And Li Qiye also repayed his kindness, and assisted Zhou Ba to make the Erlong cottage run smoothly.

    ? They originally wanted to be safe and secure in a corner, secretly training soldiers and horses, even if they did not participate in the competition, self-protection would always be no problem.

    But with the arrival of Chen Ziang, only a few thousand soldiers and horses shattered their illusions.

    In the face of Chen Ziang's grace of not killing and his sincere invitation, Li Qiye's hidden lofty ideals were ready to move again.

    "Brother, please tell me that we are going to general Chen."

    After discussing with Zhou Ba, Li Qiye finally decided to serve under Chen Ziang's command. Although they were helpless, they had no other choice.

    The soldiers of the Qinghe Army who guarded Li Qiye heard that they wanted to see Chen Ziang, so they immediately reported it.

    Chen Ziang quickly met with Li Qiye and Zhou Ba, and learned about their willingness to work in person.

    "Welcome both of you to join our ninth battalion. From today onwards, as long as I, Chen Ziang, have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry."

    Chen Ziang was also in a particularly good mood when facing Li Qiye and Zhou Ba's appointment, and immediately ordered the banquet to be reopened to celebrate it.

    In the final analysis, competition in the world is still a competition for talents, land, food and population, and the core of which is talents.

    As long as there is a strong talent team, then they can make suggestions or charge forward, helping the coach to obtain land, food and population, and continue to grow in strength.

    If there is no talent team, if you rely on the coach alone to rob land, food and population, I am afraid that you will be exhausted.

    It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziang attaches great importance toTalented, although Zhou Ba and Li Qiye were born bandits, Chen Ziang did not underestimate them.

    Although he couldn't judge the talents of the two of them, he would rather kill one thousand by mistake than let one go, and wanted to keep them in the Ninth Battalion.

    Erlong Village was able to develop safely under the noses of the Qinghe Army, and stored so much food, Li Qiye and Zhou Ba naturally contributed a lot.

    With the addition of Li Qiye and Zhou Ba, all the troops under their command were naturally recruited by Chen Ziang, and the strength of Chen Ziang's ninth battalion has been further strengthened.

    Chen Ziang did not mix up Erlongshan's men and horses into other teams, but directly handed them all over to Zhou Ba, and at the same time made up some troops for him, and appointed him as a thousand-man general.

    Instead of killing them, Chen Ziang treated them with more courtesy, and now he directly appointed him as a general of a thousand men, Zhou Ba was also very grateful.

    Since Zhou Ba became a bandit, he has been living a bloody life, fighting with all kinds of bandits for rations, and fighting with officers and soldiers from all over the place to find a way to survive. He has never felt safe.

    Now that he is under Chen Ziang's command, Zhou Ba immediately feels like he has found the backbone, and he feels more at ease.

    "Brother Li Qiye will be the Chief of Staff of our Ninth Battalion."

    After Chen Ziang arranged Zhou Ba's position, he immediately appointed Li Qiye as the Chief of Staff of their Ninth Battalion.

    After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Li Qiye and the others were taken aback for a moment, still wondering what this chief of staff does.

    "Please tell the general clearly."

    Chen Ziang explained: "The task of the chief of staff is very simple. The main thing is to assist me in managing the army on weekdays. When marching and fighting, formulate combat plans, make suggestions, etc"

    "Isn't that the same as a military adviser?" Zhou Ba couldn't help but said.

    Chen Ziang said with a smile: "You can understand it that way, but the Chief of Staff needs to do more."

    Li Qiye also understood that Chen Zi'ang trusted him, so he was awarded the post of Chief of Staff, and he felt a little apprehensive.

    "General, I have no virtue or talent, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take up a big job." Li Qiye wanted to decline.

    "Why, look down on me, Chen Ziang?"

    "not me"

    "It seems that I, Chen Ziang, will be the chief of staff, and I can also help me share some things." Chen Ziang said with a smile.

    "Since this is the case, then I would be more respectful than obedient."

    Seeing Chen Ziang's sincerity, Li Qiye had no choice but to agree.

    Chen Ziang still has self-knowledge. He knows that his own energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything right.

    So he wants to form a staff team, that is, when making major decisions, he can help himself with suggestions and avoid failures caused by wrong decisions.

    At the same time, I hope that the staff team can help me share some chores on weekdays, so that I can relax myself.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
