Hearing Ye Li's inquiry, Zhang Hua pondered for a while and said: "I would say, the overall strength of their team is actually not far from ours.
This group of fish thieves is very proficient in disguise and raids, and their abilities in these two aspects exceed They defeated us, but on the front battlefield, they are not as good as us, so if there is a war between us, it will be difficult to determine the winner. " Hearing Zhang Hua's words, Ye Li's eyes couldn't help but light up.
After all, if the fish snatchers are as powerful as the yellow-robed bandits, then he will get a well-trained and powerful force after recruiting them.
"So, these guys still need to surrender."
Ye Li said.
Zhang Hua nodded and said: "Although I don't like them, but to be honest, they are indeed worthy of your surrender.
Their manpower is not much different from ours, there are about 400 people.
After you take them all under your command, I think the number of private soldiers will be full."
Ye Li didn't explain much about the number of private soldiers.
He needed more talents than this.
Li Rushan told him before he came that he should think of ways to recruit enough people from different places.
After all, out of the quota of 10,000 people, the imperial court could allocate up to 3,000 people to him, and he had to find the remaining 7,000 people by himself.
However, Ye Li wanted to give up the job.
After all, it would be a waste for him to recruit people everywhere.
A matter of time.
However, Ye Li also knows that the army he has formed now is the same as the army he formed on Pushan Island.
They will be a powerful force to fight against the Dahuntian organization in the future.
So he can't be lazy now.
If he is lazy now, if he really starts a war on all sides in the future, his men's strength will be much smaller.
After discussing with Ding Si and Zhang Hua, Ye Li decided to take the two of them to attack the fish thieves that night.
Qian San was left by Ye Li near the manor, leading the bandits in yellow clothes who had just surrendered to continue building the camp.
According to Zhang Hua, Ruan Bailang, the leader of the fish robbers, is extremely afraid of death.
As long as Ye Li can threaten his life and make it impossible for him to escape, he will definitely surrender.
After knowing this, Ye Li felt a lot more relaxed.
After all, having a leader who is afraid of death is very beneficial for him to control the entire fish thief organization.
As long as he can threaten Ruan Bailang, the other party will obediently lead the entire organization to join him.
When night was about to fall, the three of them rode fast horses and galloped towards the edge of the Qingjiang River.
The Qingjiang River is a broad river that runs through the entire Dongfang County.
It passes through most areas of the Tang Kingdom and parts of the Yuan Kingdom, and will pass through many countries further down.
Therefore, there are many merchant ships coming and going on weekdays, and many caravans gather along the way to load and unload goods.
The fish thieves started by robbing these ship dealers, but now because they are stronger, they rarely go out to rob merchant ships in person.
After all, most of the merchant ships that often use this waterway will pay them a certain amount of protection money.
As long as the caravan has paid the protection money, they will not attack it.
After all, thieves have their own ways, and as bandits, there are still some rules that must be followed.
Ding Si had also investigated the fish robbers' camp before, but he did it in a hurry, so he didn't know the situation clearly.
Fortunately, Zhang Hua knew a lot about the fish thieves and allowed Ye Li to get a lot of useful information.
After observing the opponent's camp for a while, Ye Li said: "Look carefully, there are hidden sentries in the front and outer areas, and there are open sentries in several places there.
The invasion route we will choose later will be like this.
We will pass between the light and dark posts and blend into the camp.
This fish thief really has some problems with the layout of the sentry point.
He is worse than you yellow-robed bandits.
It is too easy to invade. " Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhang Hua touched his nose and said: "At least many of us were soldiers in the past, so we know a little bit about the arrangements of the sentries.
There are not that many soldiers on the fish robber side, and even if there are, they are mostly sailors.
They definitely don't understand the issue of placing sentries on the shore. " Ye Li nodded and said: "Let's go, you two follow me, keep the sound of footsteps to a minimum, and we will sneak over."
After telling the two of them, Ye Li rushed out first, using an extremely weird and twisted route to sneak towards the fish thief's camp, with Ding Si and Zhang Hua following closely behind him.

The three of them had already sneaked into the camp of the fish snatchers without much effort.
This place didn't look much different from the camp of the bandits in yellow.
After spending some effort, they found Ruan Bailang's residence.
At this time, Ruan Bailang was practicing in the house.
He seemed to be more diligent than Zhang Hua and the others.
However, there were some differences in qualifications between people.
His cultivation level was still a step behind Zhang Hua.
When Ye Li and the others stood in front of him, he had already woken up from his trance.
The moment he saw the three of them, he was ready to attack and take the opportunity to escape.
Although his thinking was correct and his reaction was quick, his strength was too weak after all.
Before he could jump up from his seat, he was pushed back by Ye Li.
Feeling the terrifying pressure like a mountain on Ye Li's body, Ruan Bailang's body softened and he finally gave up resistance.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Ruan Bailang looked at Ye Li in horror.
After knowing Ye Li's strength, he couldn't help but stammered and asked.
"Ruan Bailang, this is our lord Ye Li of Dongfang County."
Zhang Hua stood next to Ye Li and said to Ruan Bailang.
Only then did Ruan Bailang notice Zhang Hua next to him, and the look on his face became even more surprised.
"Zhang Hua, why are you here?
You helped Wang Yue and the others solve the problems with the county guards who came before.
How could you side with the lord this time?"
Ruan Bailang asked Zhang Hua doubtfully.
Zhang Hua laughed awkwardly and said: "Master Ye Li has outstanding strength, and I have brought my entire village to serve him and become his private army.
Since this is his territory, gangsters like us are naturally not allowed to exist.
After we surrender to him, you will be the only gangsters here.
So now you should understand why he is here, sir."
After hearing Zhang Hua's words, Ruan Bailang looked at Ye Li, swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "Sir, do you still need any subordinates?"
His words made Ye Li stunned.
Before he even asked for surrender, the other party actually wanted to surrender directly.
"If you are willing to surrender with all your men and take a poison pill, then you will be mine from now on.
I want to form a legion now and need a lot of manpower.
If you surrender to me, you will become part of my legion from now on.
How about you also hold the position of Centurion Leader like Zhang Hua and others?"
Ye Li's attitude towards a guy who was so aware of current affairs suddenly became much gentler
