Chapter 167: Smooth Transition
Thanks to the brothers and sisters who have been subscribing, rewarding, and voting for Gunners all the time. In order to celebrate the fact that Ma Ta has the first master --- book friend unnamer, a new chapter is added today.Finally, I say from the bottom of my heart: Brothers and sisters, the Gunner loves you!

In the crude meeting hall, Guo Shanfeng sat high on the first chair in the middle, glanced majestically at all the generals under his command, and lingered for a while on the faces of Wei Dewu and other former salt workers.

"Everyone, I just got the information that Fuzhou Xiang Xianhe invited the Dingzhou Army from Dingzhou to destroy us. Just today, the Jianrui Battalion of the Dingzhou Army has entered Hailing and will come soon. attack us."

Everyone in the hall started discussing with a buzz. The officers from Dingzhou were excited because the arrival of the Dingzhou army meant that they would end their days of concealing their identities and pretending to be bandits. Wei Dewu and others were discussing because of the The army's reputation is too great, especially after Li Qing came to power, the continuous victories against the barbarians have made the Dingzhou army famous. When they heard the Dingzhou army coming, Wei Dewu and others showed fear on their faces.

The Dingzhou Army is not the Fuzhou Army, but it is a steel journey that has been fought against the barbarians for many years.The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, thinking about meeting such a team on the battlefield, everyone felt timid before fighting.

"What should we do? Let's discuss together, let's pay attention!" Guo Shanfeng said lightly.

A group of military officers in Dingzhou already knew the final result, and said one after another: "Master, we will listen to you, and we will do whatever you say."

A smile appeared on Guo Shanfeng's face, "Old Wei, tell me, what should we do, should we fight, or is there any other way?"

Wei Dewu's face showed embarrassment, he didn't expect that Guo Shanfeng would call his name alone, he hesitated for a while, and said: "If you want to fight, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat him. The other party has defeated even the vicious barbarian. I'm afraid it's not an opponent."

"Then what do you mean?" Guo Shanfeng tentatively asked, salt workers accounted for nearly [-]% of his current five thousand troops, and Wei Dewu had a high prestige among the salt workers, and only if he was dealt with could he pass smoothly.

"We, let's run!" After a while, Wei Dewu suddenly said, "We have [-] troops. If the Dingzhou army goes east, we go west. When they go south, we go north. In short Just don't meet them."

Guo Shanfeng stared at him dumbfounded, he really didn't expect that this guy who fought with him for several battles and seemed to be very good on the battlefield would make such a ridiculous note, "You think this is playing hide-and-seek?" We have 5000 people here, a total of 5000 people, do you think you can just find a corner and let people not find it? Run, where are you going? There are tens of thousands of family members, no more!" Guo Shanfeng shouted loudly.

Wei Dewu's face was flushed, and he just subconsciously made a running note. He thought so much there, and after hearing the wind of the mountain, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: "The master, I'm just a guy who hasn't seen the world, so what's the matter?" It’s up to the master to decide, anyway, we can do whatever you want.”

Guo Shanfeng nodded in satisfaction, looked around at the people in the hall, "Is everyone agreeing with this, listen to me?"

The crowd said loudly: "Yes, listen to the master, what the master says, we will do, there is no difference."

"Okay, since everyone listens to me, let me tell you. In fact, since the uprising, I have been thinking about today's situation. The Fuzhou Army is vulnerable, but Dachu is so big, we defeated the Fuzhou Army." The state army, what should we do with another stronger army? Can we continue to win? Impossible, so I have been working hard to find a way out for everyone."

He stood up, looked at everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "Everyone, are we born to be bandits? Don't we want to live and work in peace and be a good citizen? The reason why we rebelled is because we can't live anymore. What is the purpose of our rebellion? Of course, it is to live a better life, to live and work in peace and contentment, so that our relatives will not be bullied, but if we continue to fight, we will fail, and our relatives will be implicated by us. So, I I have been looking for someone worthy of our support, someone who can protect us without underestimating us. Now, I have found it."

Everyone in the hall stared at him closely, "He is Marshal Li of Dingzhou."

"I've decided that our entire army will go to Dingzhou. Go to Marshal Li, and ask Marshal Li to protect us."

This time it was Wei Dewu's turn to be dumbfounded, the master's idea was to surrender.

"The boss, we just want to surrender. They will either, what if they don't want us, or what if they pretend to want us, and then gather us and annihilate us?" Wei Dewu asked loudly.

Guo Shanfeng snorted, and said: "What kind of man is Li Qing Li from Dingzhou? Judging from his actions in Dingzhou, he is a man of indomitable spirit, or he won't agree to our surrender and send troops to attack us directly. But as long as he agrees to our surrender and resettles us, he will never go back on his word."

"But the masters, we are all ordinary people who want to surrender, so how can we contact Marshal Li? Is it possible that when the two armies are facing each other, we shout that we surrender? Then we can't guarantee that the generals who lead the army will do it for us." If we have done meritorious service and ignored us at all, but still sent troops to attack, that means we have no heart to fight, wouldn't we be defeated faster? We can't believe it unless Marshal Li Qing personally guarantees it!" Wei Dewu exclaimed.

Guo Shanfeng smiled slightly and said: "Old Wei, as I said, I have been thinking about this since the beginning of our incident. I have been trying to contact General Li Qing for a long time. Now, I can tell everyone , I have already contacted Marshal Li, and Marshal Li also gave me a personal promise, and named me a general, now you are all members of the Dingzhou Army, please invite Director Qingfeng."

Qingfeng came out from the back hall with a smile, Wei Dewu and others couldn't help being surprised. They all saw this woman when she entered the camp in the morning, but they never expected that she was the special envoy of the Dingzhou Army.

"Brothers, this is Director Qingfeng, who holds a high position in the Dingzhou Army, and came to us today as the special envoy of Marshal Li Qing."

Qingfeng took a step forward and said: "Brothers, Marshal Li has found out the reason for your rebellion and expressed his deep sympathy. Marshal Li doesn't want to cause more killings, because you are all forced to do nothing. As long as you get lost, Marshal Li promises I will never pursue any responsibility of you, and." Li Qing reached out to take a stack of scrolls from Zhong Jing behind him, and said, "I will also directly include your army in the Dingzhou Army. Everyone here will become the Dingzhou Army If you have no objections, please come to me to take over the appointment, and from now on, we will be a family."

Needless to say, the original Dingzhou military officers had already replied in unison: "I would like to serve for Marshal Li."

Wei Dewu and the other leaders of the salt workers hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "I would like to serve for Marshal Li." The opportunity is also a good ending.

Qingfeng smiled with satisfaction, took out a sheet from the file, and read aloud: "Wei Dewu."

Wei Dewu was taken aback, and the people behind him quickly pushed him forward, "Wei Dewu, this is your letter of appointment. From today onwards, you will be the Zhenwu Colonel of our Dingzhou Army."

Wei Dewu stared blankly at the letter of appointment with the bright red seal of the commander of the Dingzhou Army in his hand, he couldn't turn his mind for a while, it was as simple as that, from a rebel to a middle-level officer of the Dingzhou Army He knew that Colonel Zhenwu was only one step away from being a general, and he would become a general one step further. He had jumped from a humble salt worker to an officer, and he was an officer of the famous Dingzhou Army. The huge contrast made him a little overwhelmed.

"Congratulations, Captain Wei!" Qingfeng laughed.

Everyone in the hall also came forward to say congratulations, and said across the mountain: "Old Wei, from today onwards, you will be my deputy. You know, Marshal Li only appointed you as Zhenwu Colonel!"

Wei Dewu finally believed that what happened in front of him was the truth, he couldn't help being excited, he bent down deeply, and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the commander in chief!" , but everything in front of him is under control. Wei Dewu has a high prestige among the salt workers, and he was directly promoted to his deputy. On the one hand, it can reassure the salt workers, but on the other hand, it also deprives him of the right to directly lead the army , and the officers from Dingzhou can control this force more effectively. After a period of training, if Wei Dewu is really useful, and then he is transferred to another battalion as the chief general, he will completely digest this force. And in this way, it also set a good example for the Dingzhou army to follow up in Fuzhou.

Qingfeng took the dossier and issued the appointment certificates one by one.Everyone is very happy.

"Now, let me talk about the arrangements for the personnel of the Baykou Salt Field." Qingfeng said, everyone fell silent immediately after saying this. Qingfeng's words were the next deployment of the Dingzhou Army in Fuzhou.

"You will become a battalion under the Dingzhou Army. The name of the battalion is Yishan. All the family members of the soldiers of the Yishan battalion must be relocated to Dingzhou. This is mainly for their safety, because we secretly recruited you. You will be very dissatisfied, and since you are the Dingzhou Army, you will be transferred sooner or later, if you want to take revenge on your family members from the commander after you leave, we will be beyond our reach." Qingfeng said.

Wei Dewu nodded repeatedly. Since he has become an officer in Dingzhou, he can rest assured that his family members will choose Dingzhou, "But Lord Qingfeng, we have tens of thousands of people here. How will they live when they go to Dingzhou?"

"There is no salt country in Dingzhou, and it is impossible to dry salt. Except for the salt workers, the family members of the soldiers who went to Dingzhou in the Wankou Salt Field will be granted fields by the Dingzhou government. Before the fields are harvested, your life The food will be provided by the Dingzhou government."

Hearing Qingfeng's explanation, Wei Dewu felt relieved during the season, because with Tian, ​​everything is possible.As long as this year passes, life will be better next year.What's more, the Dingzhou Army has military noon.

"Wankou Salt Field will be handed over to the Dingzhou Jianrui camp stationed in Hailing immediately, and you, the commander-in-chief, have other arrangements and must leave the camp as soon as possible." Qingfeng said, the specific plan has already been handed over to Guo Shanfeng.

"Within ten days, family members will be evacuated in stages and in batches."
