Zhou and his party also left. Tian Feng stood up and stood in front of Xu Huang and Yang Feng, cupped his hands and said:
"Instructor Xu, here is a letter from the young master." Xu Huang stood up in a hurry after hearing this. Yang Feng did not dare to ask for help, and stood respectfully behind Xu Huang, waiting for instructions.
Tian Feng took out an urgent letter from his sleeve. The content was generally a compliment to Xu Huang and his party, and then asked about the spread of the technique, followed by instructions for the next step.
After Tian Feng finished reading, Xu Huang frowned. Yang Feng asked in confusion:
"Why are we rushing back? We are so powerful now." Xu Huang was also puzzled. Only Tian Feng smiled and said:
"Instructor Yang, we are not rebels." This sentence woke up the dreamer! Xu Huang and Yang Feng broke out in cold sweat at the same time. Yes, they were just soldiers of justice who were seconded by Han Fu, the state pastor, to suppress the rebellion. Now What he did...hiss, after thinking about it, the two of them took a breath of cold air at the same time.
Seeing this, Tian Feng put away the urgent mail, handed it over and said:
"Two coaches, this is a great kindness. We will get what we deserve. There is no point in continuing the fight. It's time to fulfill our promise." Xu Huang heard this, rubbed his eyebrows in self-mockery, and said:
"That's right. It went smoothly before. Brother Yuan Hao, please inform Han Fu and ask Han Fu to send someone to take over the affairs of the three counties. It's time for me to go back, hahaha." Yang Feng looked unwilling. The momentum, just say it back?
Seeing him like this, Tian Feng persuaded him with good words based on their friendship over these years:
"Brother Yang, the time has not come yet. It is a righteous act for the young master to borrow troops. If we delay returning, I am afraid that we will trap the young master into injustice." Xu Huang also patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and comforted him in a low voice:
"Brother Yang, don't be anxious. What Yuan Hao said is true. Now is indeed not the time. When troubled times come, you and I will have plenty of opportunities to make contributions." Yang Feng just felt sorry for the three counties he had finally conquered. But he also knew that he could not do anything on his own. He was now a retainer of the Wei family, no longer a general of the Baibo Army. He was a righteous man, not a rebel.
"I'm not ignorant, I just feel it's a pity." Yang Feng sighed helplessly. In the first rain of October, the expeditionary force put down the rebellion in the three counties and retired with great success.
After receiving the news, the people of Jizhou sent them all the way. The expeditionary force, which originally had only 5,000 troops, returned with a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people.
Among them, blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons accounted for 70%, and the remaining 30% included frustrated scholars and entertainers. As long as there were elders with skills, Tian Feng would promise generous rewards and bring them back to Anyi.
When Wei Cheng wanted people, Tian Feng tried every means to help Wei Cheng recruit people. Now he has completely considered the issue from Wei Cheng's perspective.
"Hahaha, this time I go back, Military Master Tian takes the greatest credit. You have never experienced the grandeur of the young master. This time I will make you feel satisfied." On the way back, Hua Cun and others joked and joked with Tian Feng. For this counselor who joined halfway, they have gradually transformed from strangers at the beginning to life and death brothers who have been through life and death. Although Tian Feng has an upright character, after getting along for a long time, he will find that instead of listening to those flattering words, Tian Feng is still This kind of straightforward nature is more reassuring. At least he won't stab you in the back or fall out with you on the spot if he has any displeasure. During this ten-day expedition, Hua Cun, a former water bandit, was raped more than once. Tian Feng scolded him harshly. At first, Hua Cun was so angry that he couldn't even eat. But after experiencing several dangers, he realized how valuable it is to have a counselor in the army. Often Tian Feng's little suggestion can save them. All kinds of unnecessary casualties were avoided, so that later on, the person who admired Tian Feng the most turned out to be the one who was most unhappy with Tian Feng at the beginning.
"Oh, so the leader of Huajiao has taught you how to be dignified?" Tian Feng asked with a smile while riding on his horse.
Hua Cun played with the purple and gold mace in his hand and said proudly:
"Of course, my sledgehammer was given to me by Young Master. I'm not bragging to you. My sledgehammer ranks very high on the list of earthly evil weapons." Snap!
As soon as Hua Kun finished speaking, Yang Feng on one side opened the weapon in his hand and smashed a stone the size of a human head on the side of the road.
Hua Cun and others turned their heads to look and swallowed involuntarily. Xu Huang chuckled, rolled up the weapon in his hand, and put it back into the bag carefully.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu Huang said proudly:
"Well, how should I put it? The magic weapon that Young Master created is indeed amazing." He raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Cun.
Hua Cun immediately felt that the purple and gold mace in his arms no longer smelled good. Lu Wei, on the other hand, looked back at the cloth bag on Xu Huang's waist and said in a deep voice:
"There are not many steel needles, so don't waste them." Xu Huang heard this and said with a smile:
"It's not wasted. I've kept all the steel needles that the young master gave me. The stones I picked up on the river beach were used to kill the enemy recently. Although the lethality is particularly powerful, it's enough." Hua Cun heard this and hurriedly patted his horse forward and said to please him. :
"Brother Yang, can you let me try your magic weapon again?" Xu Huang instinctively covered the bag and frowned:
"Why, you still haven't given up?" Hua Cun tried to please him. Xu Huang was so praised that he took out the weapon given to him by Wei Cheng from the cloth bag, a slingshot.
It can shoot small steel balls and iron sticks from the finger field. Yang Feng is reluctant to waste iron sticks made of fine steel and has recently switched to using pebbles.
Hua Cun took the slingshot and a round of smooth pebbles and aimed at a big withered tree not far away.
"Oops, it's off.'
"It's strange, why can't I shoot accurately?" He reluctantly asked for a few more stones. He was fairly accurate within ten meters, but not beyond ten meters.
Seeing this, Xu Huang happily took back the slingshot, aimed at a branch about twenty meters away, tightened the rubber band, and took aim.
Bang! The withered branches broke with the sound, and were blown into several pieces by the pebbles. But it was not over yet. Seeing that the branch was about to fall to the ground, Xu Huang shot three more stones in succession, hitting three broken branches in the air one after another, showing off his accuracy and strength.
"Hehe, how about it? This is the talent that Young Master said." Putting away the slingshot, Xu Huang looked at Hua Cun with pride.
Hua Jiu was extremely envious, thinking that he was so handsome. A small slingshot was as lethal as a crossbow.
It's a pity that he really doesn't have the talent in this area, otherwise he would have to ask the young master for a slingshot after he returns.
Just when a few people were talking and laughing. Not far away, Tian Feng came with a team of people. Behind him, the two brothers Yan Liang, Wen and Chou looked quite embarrassed.
"Damn it, I encountered a tough guy in Changshan. Brothers, don't go back in a hurry. Stop by and take care of someone." Zhang Fei frowned and looked at the injured Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He had also heard about these two people. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei would be recruited into the expeditionary force.
At this time, seeing the two of them being beaten into pig-headed faces, Zhang Fei said curiously:
"Yide, if you don't recruit people in Changshan, why do you have conflicts with people? And, what are they?" Lu Wei and his party rushed forward, tightened the reins of their horses, and said angrily:
"I met an old man in Changshan who was so powerful that he knocked the three of us down with just a wooden stick.
