"General Lin?"
Bian Long looked at Lin Bei with a silly smile in confusion, and pulled the latter out of his fantasy.
"Ahem, cough, cough, next, we will enter Jiangbei first, find a place to rest, and prepare for suppressing the mob later."
After saying that, Lin Bei looked at several Jiangbei soldiers: "You should sort out the distribution map as soon as possible. If you need my help in any way, please report it to me."
"yes."
It was not until nightfall that more than a thousand troops found an open space to station outside the city.
Lin Bei sat by the campfire, looking at the stars in the clear night sky, sorting out the thoughts in his mind.
He had already learned information about the land in Jiangbei that he had not learned before from the soldiers in Jiangbei.
Jiangbei crosses several canals. Due to the high mountains and ridges, the places where people live here are scattered.
This also indirectly led to a large-scale army, and there was no way to deal with the rebels and mobs here.
As long as the latter blends into the mountains and forests, their innate or acquired habits will make it impossible to see the shadow of the Jiangbei garrison who have never fought in the mountains and fields.
What's more, the mountain roads are rugged and the soldiers are wearing armor, which makes marching difficult. The supply lines are constantly disconnected. Over the long term, the morale of the soldiers has dropped sharply.
The most important thing is that this is an extremely remote place for Dashang. The people do not have high recognition of the imperial court. There are actually many people who support these rebels and inform them.
It's no wonder that when he saw Jiangbei Governor-General during the day, although he tried his best to hide it, his face could not hide his fatigue and helplessness.
Li Ai moved out probably because of these reasons.
No wonder the outside world says that Jiangbei is ungovernable. Now it seems that it is really as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The people here live in poverty. Not only do they have no money to exploit, they are also difficult to tame. They are at great risk of being attacked by rebels and mobs.
Who would be willing to take on such a hard job as losing his head accidentally?
Since ancient times, there have not been many people willing to take over the land in Jiangbei. Even if they came, most of them either couldn't bear to leave or were killed by the rebels or rebels.
This is why the soldiers in Jiangbei are so looking forward to Lin Bei's arrival.
In their hearts, Lin Bei was boasted by General Zhou at such a young age, and the Empty City Strategy had been spread into countless versions, in the hearts of every soldier in Dashang.
And Lin Bei's willingness to come to save their hometown, which they had been feeling particularly heartbroken for a long time, made them admire Lin Bei even more.
Recalling the hopeful eyes of the Jiangbei soldiers during the day.
Lin Bei put his hands behind his head and sighed deeply.
At this time he felt a little ashamed.
The soldiers placed their hopes on him, but he only thought about how to die as soon as possible.
Maybe I am indeed a little impatient. Several previous plans have ended in failure. Maybe it is really because of myself.
Otherwise, let nature take its course this time and give it a try. During this period, what else can you do to benefit the people of Jiangbei to make your inner guilt less severe.
Besides, if he led the army to do something deeds, and the old fox Li Ai heard about it, that guy would definitely jump in a hurry and send experts to assassinate him immediately.
After thinking about it, Lin Bei gradually convinced himself.
Since you are going to die, you might as well leave a little mark on this world before dying. Those hundred little targets won't have wings to fly.
Just because he pitied his hundred little targets, Lin Bei covered his chest.
Lin Bei gradually felt his eyelids beginning to fight, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning the next day that Lin Bei slowly woke up. He opened the quilt and looked at himself sleeping in the tent with a suspicious look on his face.
He obviously slept outside the tent last night.
Lin Bei got out of bed and immediately saw Ah Yue sitting by the bed.
The latter hugged the sword tightly in his arms, his face rarely looking cold.
His face was extremely calm, but when he closed his cold eyes, he looked a little well-behaved.
It seems that she got herself into the camp.
Lin Bei's heart felt warm, and he stretched out his hand to wake her up and let her sleep on the bed.
But before he came into contact with Ah Yue, the latter slowly opened his eyes, looking alert.
"Um, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to wake you up."
Lin Bei retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Ah Yue stood up silently without saying anything.
"thank you."
"Um."
Lin Bei looked at Ah Yue who only said one word for a long time and shook his head helplessly.
Ah Yue is good at everything, but she doesn't like to talk much and is not cute at all.
"General Lin."
The soldiers along the way saw Lin Bei and greeted him one after another.
Lin Bei waved to them and then walked into another camp.
Several soldiers from Jiangbei saw Lin Bei and saluted quickly. The former waved his hand, so that they didn't need to be too restrained.
"How's your research going?"
"General Lin, give us some more time. The situation in Jiangbei is complicated and we won't be able to sort it out for a while."
The soldiers scratched their heads and scratched their heads, facing the tables full of papers and the huge sand table, their eyes full of exhaustion.
Lin Bei nodded, looked at the sand table on the table, and asked casually: "Where is our position."
"it's here."
A soldier pointed to a corner of the sand table and responded.
"How far away is the nearest mob to us."
"Not far from Linchi City where we are stationed, there is a bandit nest that has been raging for a long time. Linchi City's guards attacked it dozens of times but failed to completely annihilate it."
"Do you know the number of people?"
"According to the guards in Linchi City, there are only more than a hundred bandits."
"Is it so difficult to capture more than a hundred people?"
Lin Bei said doubtfully.
"General Lin doesn't know that these more than a hundred people are all good soldiers. Once the soldiers from Linchi City enter the forest, they are like blind men, but they can come and go freely."
"And the mountains they are in not only have plenty of water, but if there is no food, they only need to loot from the surrounding villages. Plus there are so many wild game on the mountains, they are not afraid of us closing the mountains at all."
One of the soldiers smiled bitterly.
Lin Bei touched his chin and nodded slightly.
"Gather a hundred brothers and let me see if I can capture this gang of bandits in two days."
"One hundred? General, are you kidding?"
The Jiangbei soldiers looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
How could their general be so confident?
"Sir, are more than a hundred people too few? At least someone needs to block the escape route of these gangsters."
At this time, the deputy general opened the curtain and walked in, cupping his fists at Lin Bei.
"Let's try it."
When Lin Bei saw that everyone present did not believe him, he did not say anything, but smiled mysteriously.
Seeing their own governor being so confident, the people present didn't say anything else.
Bian Long nodded and said: "Okay, my subordinates will go down and summon a hundred soldiers."
Just as he was about to leave the camp, he turned around again and raised his hands to Lin Bei: "By the way, Overseer, when we were counting the number of people last night, we found a woman sneaking into our team."
Lin Bei was slightly startled.
