Despite his high status in the Yunnan Army, in fact he was not a brave and skilled general.
Completing this mission probably won't result in much success, so the generals under his command are unwilling to contribute.
This is a completely thankless job. Who is willing to bite the bullet and do it?
Moreover, the bandits have a long history of taking root in the local area. Ye Feilong has always had a soft policy towards them, and he has never thought about chewing off these hard bones.
This is the landmine you laid for yourself!
Now, it's okay, the capital side is talking about this matter. Even if he doesn't want to deal with these bandits, he still has to deal with them!
There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and their folk customs are quite strong.
Once their troops go to the local area to suppress bandits, they may arouse resentment among the local people.
It is their duty to kill bandits, but if there is a conflict with a few local residents, it is impossible to kill all these people...
The bandits attack very fiercely on their home ground, and even people from the main barracks will find it particularly difficult to deal with them.
People who have reached high-level official positions are naturally unwilling to accept such a hot potato.
If you do this thankless job well, you won't receive much encouragement, but if you do it poorly, you will be punished.
There are only so many ways for the Yunnan Army to ascend, and they also know that they are almost done. At such a critical moment, why not retire honestly?
If something goes wrong and I fail to complete the tasks assigned by King Ping Xi, I might be demoted instead...
But Zhou Xing is different!
While others stayed away from such a mission, he desperately wanted to be a part of it.
"Brother Xiong, just tell General Hu, just leave this matter to me, Mr. Zhou!"
When Xiong Feiyu heard what the other party said, his expression changed again and again.
"Brother Zhou, why don't you understand what I mean? I've told you so much... This is a thankless job. If you want to take it, you have to be mentally prepared to fail!"
Xiong Feiyu had a good personal relationship with Zhou Xing, and he repeatedly warned Zhou Xing not to do this out of friendship.
If it were an ordinary person, he would just watch the other person jump into the fire pit without saying a word.
"You said that no one is willing to deal with it. This is a serious problem for King Pingxi! As a general under King Pingxi, I have to set an example accordingly!" Zhou Xing said with an upright face.
"well……"
Seeing the other party's appearance, what else could Xiong Feiyu say?
"Okay, then I will have a good discussion with General Hu. You can wait for my news."
"okay!"
After hearing what the other party said, Zhou Xing smiled in his heart, and he naturally knew that the matter was done.
………
"Hahaha! General Zhou Pian is indeed a rookie in the Yunnan Army. Our Yunnan Army needs fresh generals like this to keep appearing! You are worthy of being a young hero. I believe you will make great achievements in this mission! "
If I heard that someone was coming to take over, I immediately felt very happy.
Moreover, the opponent is Zhou Xing, who is known as the number one master in Kunming City, and is now very popular among the Yunnan Army. This boy came to help him complete his task. At least the other party was reliable.
Zhou Xing's initiative to ask for a fight also made Hu Guozhu feel particularly happy.
During the meeting of the Yunnan Army, he also praised the other party severely several times!
His generals heard the boss's words and also praised him.
"Young generals are nothing more than that. We must have such energetic young generals in the army!"
"I'm optimistic about this kid. He will definitely become a general of the Yunnan Army in the future!"
"Not bad! A hero comes from a boy. I'm really looking forward to his performance in this mission!"
All the senior generals were saying nice things.
In fact, when this mission was first launched, no one wanted to take it because everyone knew that it was not a good mission.
Fortunately, a stupid young man took the initiative to pick him up, which also helped them solve a problem. Now it is reasonable to say a few nice words to the other party...
The matter is settled like this!
Zhou Xing took the lead in suppressing the bandits, and other generals assigned troops to him to command.
Of course, these people were all under Hu Guozhu, and Zhou Xing did not mix people from different military camps together.
His behavior of taking the initiative to ask for a fight seemed to many people to be trying to attract the limelight!
He is popular among many people, so maybe some people are secretly jealous of him...
People's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhou Xing is just constantly on guard.
After commanding the troops, he immediately set off towards the border!
The main camp is the main camp, and everyone's physical fitness is still very good.
After wandering all the way to the border, the overall momentum of the team was not affected.
In order to win this battle, Zhou Xing personally went to the tribes where ethnic minorities live and took the initiative to build good relations with them. Moreover, he was going to the meeting alone. If he brought many people in, it might cause panic among others.
His behavior really made the local ethnic minority residents realize that the Yunnan Army in front of them was not here to cause trouble for them.
The boss of the other party came to their tribe alone and did this. How should the other party express their trust?
The main reason is that Zhou Xingyi is a brave man. If it were any other general, he would definitely not be able to do such a bold thing!
Going to a minority tribe alone, isn't this like entering the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?
However, during this process, Zhou Xing also discovered many advantages of the other party.
The local folk customs are simple and honest, and they are generally brave and good at fighting.
After learning a little about their situation, Zhou Xing also learned a lot of other information. They are also particularly disgusted with the local bandits. After all, they are often bullied by them and have to pay protection fees regularly. It's just that they dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
Now that they learned that the Yunnan Army was coming to help them deal with the bandits, the ethnic minority tribes naturally cheered.
Zhou Xing struck while the iron was hot and sought help from the other party.
The opponent's firepower is not very strong, but they understand the local terrain.
You must know that during the battle, if you gain a terrain advantage, it can be regarded as a great advantage.
With a few people here who know the terrain they are in to take command, Zhou Xing's brothers can reduce some of the losses.
He is here to suppress bandits, not to kill his own people!
If you can avoid some losses, then try to avoid it.
The local ethnic minority tribes were extremely enthusiastic. They sent a large number of tribal warriors to follow each other, as long as they could successfully suppress the bandits!
Zhou Xing is very skilled in the use of military tactics. He slowly lures the enemy out of the hole and then annihilates them in batches!
After succeeding several times, the bandits also learned to be smart.
Some march in complete groups. Once they set off, a large number of bandits will set off together. Some people just stay in their old nests and don't come out. No matter what happens outside, they just stand still.
Regarding such a situation, Zhou Xing began to feel a little tricky.
The bandits were extremely ferocious in the mountains and forests. They were like ferocious wolves, making it difficult for people to target them. What's more, their weapons are short and sharp Miao knives. Once they engage in close combat with the Yunnan Army, such weapons will be easier to use in the mountain and forest environment!
Most of the soldiers of the Yunnan Army used long spears and knives.
This kind of weapon is very powerful when arrayed in the plains, but it cannot be deployed in the mountains and forests...
Fortunately, Zhou Xing was prepared and asked everyone to put on short blades. In such a complex environment, it is impossible to advance in formation.
After they set up their formation, the opponent will probably be defeated...
Just today, Zhou Xing plans to storm a bandit den.
It's not a good thing to keep delaying. The rear is waiting for their victory report, and he can't waste time here.
He knew that this place was a mountain forest, so he took advantage of the characteristics of the terrain and directly shot in with his bow and arrow!
But at the tip of the bow and arrow, there was a burning flame!
"boom!"
After the flaming arrows were shot into the enemy camp, the bandits' den was immediately set on fire! Their houses are originally made of wood, and using this kind of fire-filled bow and arrow to break through is the simplest method!
Seeing their lair being burned down, the bandits were extremely angry!
Now the Yunnan Army has rushed to the door of the house, and it is too late even to put out the fire.
"Damn officers and soldiers! They actually committed such a heinous act! If you don't want us to live, then let's die together!" Bandits are bandits. When they are forced into a desperate situation, they don't know how to use strategies to solve problems. The scalp and the government officials started to kill each other...
Zhou Xing took the lead in charging, holding a long sword in his hand and rushed directly into the enemy's formation.
"kill!"
He blew the bugle call to attack, the Yunnan army followed him, and everyone rushed in!
The quality of the soldiers in the main barracks is still very high, at least they are not comparable to those of these wandering soldiers.
Zhou Xing's murderous nature completely exploded. At this time, he must not retain his strength.
In the midst of thousands of troops, if you still want to hold back at this time, you are really seeking death!
Like a tiger descending from a mountain, he rushed into the enemy army. The long sword in his hand was flying, and every blow would take away the life of a bandit!
Not long after, there were corpses everywhere around his feet...
When many bandits saw this scene, their hearts froze. How could the other party's general be so ferocious?
"To shoot the man first, shoot the horse; to capture the thief first capture the king!"
Zhou Xing naturally understood such a simple truth. He quickly locked onto the bandit leader and immediately went to kill him!
One man fought a bloody path alive, and the accompanying Yunnan army was also clearing the way for General Zhou...
"Hold him off!"
The bandit leader was frightened out of his soul! But even if he asked the bandits next to him to attack quickly, those people would be eradicated like grass.
Zhou Xing jumped up, came to the front of the bandit leader, and cut off the leader's head with one sword!
He held the opponent's bloody head in his backhand, raised it high, and then roared.
"The bandit leader is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Many bandits turned around and found that their bosses had been killed by the other party!
Everyone suddenly gave up the idea of fighting anymore. Many bandits immediately fell to their knees, protecting their heads with their hands, just looking for a way out.
I saw many bandits kneeling down, and more and more bandits chose to surrender...
But at this moment, the Yunnan army took action in a unified manner, killing the unarmed bandits!
They had unified their strategy before they came. No matter what, they couldn't survive. These bandits deserved death!
In the blink of an eye, countless heads fell to the ground, and the scene in front of them seemed to have turned into a Shura hell!
In less than a stick of incense, the bandit den here was completely wiped out.
"Search for supplies and return to the city!"
Zhou Xing shouted from a high place.
The officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army were naturally smiling. Today's battle went so smoothly, and there was still a large amount of gold and silver treasures to be taken.
The other party has been here for hundreds of years, and they themselves are bandits who don't pay attention to any rules. They burn, kill, and loot without committing any evil. There must be a lot of good things inside!
Zhou Xing just watched this scene quietly. This was just his first step in suppressing the bandits...
The first battle was successful, and the news quickly spread back to Kunming City.
Hu Guozhu was naturally very happy. He did not expect Zhou Xing to be so vigorous this week and win a complete victory in the first battle!
"This week, he has been very aggressive. Let him go to suppress the bandits. It's really the right thing to do!" Hu Guozhu said excitedly to his general.
All the generals were also smiling now.
The other party helped them get off to a good start without doing anything, which was pretty good.
Of course, they will also keep Zhou Xing's achievements in mind.
After all, the prince is very optimistic about this person, and it would be the right thing to make friends with him...
Now many senior officials within the Yunnan Army want to establish relationships with Zhou Xing, because after this battle, the other party will become a symbol of the younger generation of the entire Yunnan Army!
They will eventually grow old, and it is also a good thing to have better friendships with the outstanding generals of the younger generation.
…
After a battle, not many brothers were lost. Zhou Xing took a look and saw that the casualty report was still within his acceptance range.
With less than fifty casualties, a bandit den was wiped out. This was truly a great victory!
Zhou Xing also sent people to count the corresponding gold and silver treasures. After they took one-third and divided it up, they handed over the remaining two-thirds directly to King Pingxi.
Zhou Xing knew that money was something external to the body. If he could make the prince happy through this money, that would be the most important thing!
He is not short of this amount of money either...
All the soldiers cheered for a great victory, and also received a lot of silver coins.
What could be happier than this?
After completing the battle in front of him, Zhou Xing took a short rest and led his soldiers to wipe out another bandit den, and the methods used to suppress the bandits were exactly the same.
In less than half a month, they won two games in a row!
The gold and silver treasures sent back to Kunming City also came into Ye Feilong's hands, and he was extremely happy. He didn't expect Zhou Xing to be so brave and good at fighting, and that the other party was very loyal to him.
"You can't be someone who has served in the Yunnan Army for three generations. Such a character is really commendable!" Ye Feilong now highly recognized Zhou Xing in his heart!
When Zhou Xing and his team were completely victorious, the other brother units of the Yunnan Army suffered heavy losses...
"General Zhou! This is bad!"
A soldier hurriedly broke into Zhou Xing's tent, where he was sitting cross-legged practicing. Hearing a chirping sound next to him, he frowned and opened his eyes, then looked at the soldier in front of him and asked word by word.
