The news that Wei Zeng led his men to annihilate Yanlong Village spread to all the camps in Yushan along with the bandits who were let go.
The titles of Mobei Flying Eagle and Living Hell King have long been spread to Yushan, but many people still doubt it.
Now that the dangerous Yanlong Village was conquered in one day, all the bandit leaders in the southern part of Yushan felt an irresistible feeling of powerlessness.
Most of the bandits in the south of Yushan were from Yanbei.
Now that they heard that Wei Zeng could just forget about it as long as he surrendered to the Yanbei rebels, many people were shaken.
"Relaxation is the way of civil and military affairs."
These are some words Qi Weilun told Wei Zeng.
On the one hand, Wei Zeng should severely crack down on the recalcitrant bandits, so that the bandits would have no intention of resisting; on the other hand, he should be gentle towards those who are willing to submit. policies to stabilize people's hearts and prevent some people from taking desperate measures and resisting stubbornly.
Wei Zeng asked Huang Yufei and Yu Chaogui to lead a group of troops respectively to patrol the weak camps and force them to surrender.
Wei Zeng himself led a large group of troops to attack or persuade those large villages to surrender.
Huang Yufei and Yu Chaogui naturally had no disadvantages.
Seeing that there was a way to survive, those small villages surrendered one after another when the rebels arrived.
However, although those big villages were afraid, because of their strong strength, they thought they could resist for a while.
Some of them asked for high prices in order to get a higher reward; some did not believe that Wei Zeng would stay in the mountains for a long time, and planned to resist for a while and wait for Wei Zeng.
After leaving, he became the king.
"This is the condition offered by your village master, Marquis Wanhu, and your village master, don't you think it's too much?"
Wei Zeng couldn't help but laugh after listening to the words of a village envoy.
"Now the general occupies the entire Yanbei.
Yanbei has a population of one million.
It is not a big deal to have ten thousand households.
Our village master knows that the general conquered Yanlong Village because the envoy deceived the people from Yanlong Village.
Our stronghold is very strong and we have enough food and grass.
As long as we can't hold on, how can the general succeed in attacking?"
the envoy said calmly.
"Your village only has a few hundred people, but once you surrender, you will need ten thousand households.
I have to agree with you.
I am afraid that ten Yanbei are not enough to seal the three hundred camps at the southern foot of Yushan Mountain.
Our Yanbei army has always planned rewards based on military merit. , look at the generals around me, none of them made great achievements in the fight against the Jingnan Army.
It's easy to get Wanhuhou, let's defeat 10,000 enemy troops," Wei Zeng said coldly.
"So if the general doesn't agree, there's no need to talk anymore.
I'll go back and report to the leader of the village.
We can talk about it when the general agrees to our terms."
The messenger said and was about to leave.
"Come if you want, leave if you want, what do you think my rebel camp is?"
Wei Zeng said angrily.
"If you don't kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, the general can't break the rules."
The envoy said tremblingly.
"You are just some bandits.
Our army only has one rule for killing bandits who resist.
I also gave you a chance to surrender, but you didn't cherish it.
Someone came, dragged him out and beheaded him, and then led the crowd to attack the stronghold.
"Wei Zeng said, ordered his troops to kill and rushed to the camp.
The leader of the village saw that the heads of the envoys sent out were thrown into the camp, and immediately ordered people to strictly guard the gate of the village in order to resist the Yanbei rebels.
Just when Wei Zeng ordered his troops to arrive at the gate of the camp, there were shouts of killing from the rear of the camp.
Wei Zeng immediately led his men to attack from both sides and captured the stronghold.

It turned out that Wei Zeng learned from Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei that many bandits were released because of the people in Yanlong Village, so he was lucky and thought that even if he resisted the rebels and surrendered in the future, they would not be killed.
Therefore, although many large villages were afraid of the rebels, they were unwilling to surrender.
When Wei Zeng heard this, he was so cruel that he wanted to attack a camp.
The reason why he chose this camp was just because Huang Yufei already knew a trail leading to the back of the camp.
"General Qi, what should we do with these surrendered bandits?"
Huang Yufei came to Wei Zeng after the battle and asked for instructions.
"Kill them all, leaving no one alive.
I want the remaining bandits to know that although our rebel army is benevolent and righteous, our benevolence and righteousness are not given casually.
Our army's benevolence and righteousness are only given to those who show sincerity."
Wei Zengmian Ruhanshuang said.
Huang Yufei's heart trembled, and then he obeyed the order and left.
Many scouts from the big village were scouting nearby.
When they saw the tragic situation in the village, they immediately returned to the village to report.
So many large villages lost all intention of resisting and surrendered one after another when the rebels arrived.
In this way, the rebels moved northward according to the information they found.
No one could stop them wherever they went, and all the camps they encountered surrendered.
There are more and more rebels.
Wei Zeng was worried that too many bandits would cause trouble, so he ordered people to escort him back to Shifeng City to undergo adaptation.
The ranks of the rebels have always been maintained at between one thousand and two thousand.
It has been like this for more than ten days.
"General, Commander Yu Chaogui was ambushed by bandits in the front and suffered heavy losses.
Commander Huang has already led his people to support, please give instructions from the general."
A soldier came from the front and said.
"There are still people who dare to resist Yu Chaogui and his two hundred men.
It is enough to deal with ordinary small villages.
There are no large villages ahead.
How could he be defeated miserably."
Wei Zeng said a little surprised.
"It is true that there is no big stronghold ahead, but those bandits occupied the mountain pass to ambush our army.
Now they are in a condescending position, making it difficult for our army to attack, which will lead to a tragic defeat."
The person replied.
"Okay, I understand.
I will go to support you right away."
Wei Zeng replied.
Wei Zeng was very surprised.
These bandits often heard the news of the arrival of the rebels, and either stayed in the stronghold or came to submit.
It was really unheard of to ambush the rebels and block them like today.
When Wei Zeng arrived at the front, he saw Yu Chaogui leading his men to fight forward, and Huang Yufei also leading his men to help.
The attack of nearly 400 men was repelled by the rolling stones.
There were no more than a hundred bandits on the other side, but they were extremely well organized.
Groups of three or five occupied the high ground and attacked everywhere, without any signs of chaos.
Wei Zeng looked towards the mountain and saw a man in plain clothes, holding a mat in one hand and a teapot in the other.
He placed the mat on the mountain, then sat on the mat, took a sip of tea and said a few words to the people around him.
After speaking, he calmly neutralized the rebel attack.
"This guy is a bit interesting."

Wei Zeng looked at this and said with a smile.
"General, I will lead people to attack the mountain and capture the thief.
This thief is too arrogant."
Yu Chaogui said angrily after being ambushed and the attack was repelled.
Huang Yufei was silent and just listened to Wei Zeng's instructions.
"No need, this man is playing tricks, I want to see what he wants to do," Wei Zeng waved his hand to stop Yu Chaogui and said.
With more than a hundred men, this man was able to repel the attack of more than four hundred men led by Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei.
It seemed that he was quite capable.
However, Wei Zeng led nearly 2,000 people.
Although most of them were surrendered bandits, if they swarmed up, they would not be able to stop them.
But this man acted so calmly, and Wei Zeng was curious about what he wanted to do.
"I am Wei Zeng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanbei Rebel Army.
I wonder what you can teach me, sir?"
Wei Zeng shouted to the other party across the mountains.
"Xiajiang Luqing, I don't dare to be a gentleman.
He is just a loose man in the mountains.
He lives in troubled times and leads a group of brothers to make a living.
I have heard about the general's name for a long time, and today I saw that he is well-deserved."
The other party replied.
"Our army wants to put down the bandits in Yushan, so why are you blocking our army's path?
I think you have some skills, and you are not like a murderous gangster.
Why don't you find a stable place to make a living, but you are becoming a robber here."
Wei Zeng asked .
"In these troubled times, I have no choice but to come here and become a robber.
However, I have never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and I would like to ask the general to see clearly.
I don't dare to stop the general's army, but I am afraid that the general will lump us together with other thieves.
For the sake of his men My brother's life is at stake, so I have to wait here for the general to explain the cause of the matter," Jiang Luqing said politely.
"Since you just want to make a living and don't want to stop our army, that's the best thing.
Our army has occupied Yanbei and promised half of the tax exemption.
If you bring people over to surrender, I can naturally let your hundred or so people in Yanbei.
Live a good life in the north," Wei Zeng said.
"Of course it is my wish to submit to the general.
I saw that the general had a hard time coming all the way, so I just prepared a pot of wine and a few dishes of side dishes.
If the general doesn't mind, you might as well come over and have a few drinks.
Submission is a matter of course.
Easy to say."
Jiang Luqing replied.
"It's all right."
Wei Zengyi cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"General, you can't go.
I think this man is pretending to be a ghost.
He must have a conspiracy.
If the general goes, there will be danger."
Yu Chaogui warned Wei Zeng when he saw that he was going to the other side of the mountain.
"This person just wants to join our army and raise his own status.

They only have a hundred people, and we have nearly two thousand.
Unless this person is crazy, they will not do such an unwise thing.
Moreover, even if they want to do harm With this distance between you and me, can't I still come back?"
Wei Zeng said.
"General, I want to go with you.
I will risk my life to protect the general's safety."
Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei both said.
"No need, these few guards around me are enough to protect my safety.
You two stay here.
If something happens, you must not plunge the army into chaos."
Weizeng ordered.
After speaking, Wei Zeng led ten armored guards and walked towards the other side's mountain.
Along the way, the other side's people got out of the way and did not take the opportunity to attack.
Jiang Luqing had already set down a table of wine and food and was standing on the mountain, waiting for Wei Zeng.
"General Wei is so brave, please drink this glass of water and wine."
Jiang Luqing said and handed a glass of wine to Wei Zeng, and then drank a glass himself.
"Okay, say what you want to say now.
I've already said too many polite words, and I don't want to listen to those roundabout words anymore."
Wei Zeng drank a glass of wine, then threw the glass away and said.
Seeing this, Jiang Luqing knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "I have long heard about the general's pacification of Yanbei, and I have long wanted to go and seek refuge.
It's just that I have no way out and am afraid of being misunderstood by the general, so I made this move.
I only I want the general to know that Jiang is not a mediocre person, so he came up with the strategy to stop the general's army."
"But after all, you injured so many people in our army, how should we settle the score?"
Wei Zeng asked.
"I have no choice but to do this.
I just want to repel the general's army without committing too many killings.
Moreover, I will treat the captured soldiers of your army well without mistreating them.
Please be more careful, general."
Jiang Luqing heard this.
Said somewhat nervously.
"Okay, I don't want to pursue the past matters anymore.
Our army is going to attack the bandits in Yushan in the north, so I will order you to be the advance guard.
I think you have some skills.
If you can defeat the bandits and make meritorious service, I can let it go.
Otherwise If you are a sensible person, I won’t say more,” Wei Zeng said.
"I feel relieved after the general said this.
If the Yushan bandits cannot be defeated, I will sacrifice my head without waiting for the general's words.
Brothers, come and see the general.
From now on, we will work hard for the general."
Jiang Luqing immediately Kneel down and say.
When the bandits heard Jiang Luqing's words, they all knelt down and expressed their willingness to do the hard work of dogs and horses
