Jiang Tuo had very low requirements for these soldiers. He did not expect them to be on par with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Wudang Flying Army, and the trapped camp, nor did he expect them to match the quality of an army like the Tengjia Soldiers.
I just hope that they will serve as a reserve force. If there is a shortage of troops on the Prime Minister's side, these troops can fill it.
On the way back, Jiang Tuo asked Geng Bin to take twenty or thirty people as spies to explore the situation ahead. They would dig mountains and build bridges when encountering rivers. If they encountered bandits or bandits, they would be eliminated on the spot.
Geng Bin did a good job, defeating several entrenched gangs of horse thieves, and was praised by Jiang Tuo.
He was so motivated that he could not contain his excitement, so he began to search for bandits and robbers nearby.
He still had to chase him to the end, and after chasing him, he disappeared completely.
Jiang Tuo was not worried either. With Geng Bin's force, three or five people could not get close, let alone those disorganized bandits. It was not as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
A few days later, Geng Bin came back with his team. He was still holding a package. It could be seen that he was very happy. He laughed and said, "Sir, I didn't expect that the bandits in Liangzhou are quite rich. , take a look!”
Jiang Tuo opened the package, which contained gold, silver and some other things.
Jiang Tuo took out silk clothes from the package and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure this thing belongs to a bandit?"
Geng Bin remained calm and shook his head: "Sir, you also know that the bandits are very wealthy, so it is reasonable to make some luxurious clothes for themselves, right?"
"Oh? What about this one?" Jiang Tuo took out a few more books from the package and waved them in front of Geng Bin.
"It is known that bandits often rob caravans, and it is normal for them to steal a few books."
Jiang Tuo put down the package, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What is going on?"
Geng Bin explained: "Sir, you don't know, I met a young man on the road, he was about five or six years old, and he led three or four guards... He actually whipped the people, and I was so angry at that time!"
"Then you robbed him?"
"No way, you need evidence to rob someone. So I followed him, but I didn't expect to see him overturning the doctor's medical box. This kind of person is really angry, so I led someone to beat him without saying a word. A meal!”
"Robbing him of his belongings and taking off his clothes! Punish him severely so that he will never do evil again in the future!"
Jiang Tuo nodded, this is only reasonable.
"What is this person's identity?"
"When I beat him, he didn't say anything about it!" Geng Bin smacked his lips and said: "But even if he is a son of a wealthy family, what can he do? In our Liangzhou, even if he is a tiger, he has to lie down, and if he is a dragon, It also needs to be wrapped!”
"Sir, you are the governor of Liangzhou, who has a higher status than you!"
Listening to Geng Bin's compliments, Jiang Tuo grinned, shook his head and said: "That's a good thing, okay, I hate flattery the most. We are almost at Longxi County, let's return to the team."
"Yes, sir!"
When he was five kilometers away from the city gate, Jiang Tuo asked Geng Bin to station the army. After all, these troops entering the city might cause riots.
For the sake of the peace of the people, they still have to be stationed outside the city.
Jiang Tuo and Lu Qing entered the city with more than a dozen guards. When they reached the city gate, Jiang Tuo noticed that there were several naked people on the south side of the city gate, wearing simple clothes made of thatch, covering their heads. important parts.
His whole body was shaking, and his face looked filled with grief and anger, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Jiang Tuo couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The common people are so miserable. They can't even afford clothes and can only wear simple pants made of thatch. This is all the fault of the wealthy families."
Lu Qing observed for a while, frowned and said, "Sir, these people don't look like ordinary people."
"Oh? Then go and ask them who they are and why they are performing performance art here."
Lu Qing walked over and started talking to these people. After a while, he turned back and explained: "Sir, no matter how I ask them about their identities, they refuse to tell them."
"However, from their words and deeds, it can be seen that they should come from a wealthy family. Especially the young man in the middle, he speaks very well, and he should not be an unknown person."
"This is strange." Jiang Tuo became curious and walked over. When he was in front of them, he said loudly: "I am Jiang Tuo, the governor of Liangzhou. Who are you?"
The young man in the middle suddenly raised his head in surprise and kept looking at Jiang Tuo.
"Are you Jiang Tuo?"
"How brave, you dare to call me by my name!" Jiang Tuo raised his head proudly: "I am not the governor of Liangzhou, are you?"
Hearing this, the young man was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He suddenly took Jiang Tuo's hand, tears flashing in his eyes, and said with emotion: "I finally see you. We have been waiting here for seven or eight days."
"Meet me, why do you want to see me?" Jiang Tuo asked blankly.
The young man wiped away his tears and said: "I am Ma Su, an aide to Prime Minister Zhuge. I heard that there is a banditry in Liangzhou, so I came here to help you on the order of the Prime Minister."
"Ah?" Jiang Tuo looked him up and down. Although this man was naked, he looked handsome and elegant. He just had the words "I have the ability" carved on his forehead.
"But...why are you like this? Besides, it's just you? Where are the others?"
When he mentioned this, Ma Su felt sad and angry, and cursed: "Because we don't understand the situation in Longxi County, we stationed the army in Baohan, and only a few of us came."
"Then what?"
"Then!" Ma Di narrowed his eyes and cursed through gritted teeth: "We traveled lightly along the way and never caused trouble. When encountering bandits and plundering, we would help the people to kill them. When encountering quack doctors who cheated, we would also take action to smash them. His medical kit!”
"I never expected that I would encounter a group of bandits. The leader was a black-faced man. He was very tall and strong. He was very powerful. He robbed us and took off our clothes!"
"The local bandits are so rude!"
"Ahem..." Jiang Tuo looked a little embarrassed. Only then did he realize that Geng Bin had actually robbed Ma Su.
"Then do you believe in fate?"
"Ah?" Ma Su was stunned.
"It's okay. Even if you were robbed, you wouldn't be dressed like this, would you? At least steal some clothes, or explain your identity, and there will always be officials to greet you."
"No, the situation in Longxi County is unknown, and we came here in private. What if we attract others' attention?"
"So that's it."
Ma Su said angrily: "If I meet that black-faced man again, I will chop him into pieces. Damn it, you took off my clothes. You are so unbecoming of a human being. I have never suffered such humiliation!"
"Okay, okay, stop talking, Lu Qing, hurry up and get some clothes."
Lu Qing went back to the carriage to get some clothes. While Ma Su and others were getting dressed, Jiang Tuo grabbed Lu Qing and whispered, "Tell Geng Bin and let him find a cool place to hide."
