Zhao Ping didn't know what he was thinking, so he said goodbye to Chen Xinghe and took his people back to Evil Wind Valley.

Mao Shiba did not rebel. On the contrary, he humbly asked Ruan Wendi for advice on the art of war.

Ruan Wendi knew that the other party was the centurion of the Flying Eagle Army and was very likely to be included in the new Flying Eagle Army.

It is my future robe.

Ruan Wendi did not hide anything, and told Mao Shiba all the "Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Strategies" described by Zhao Ping according to his own understanding.

Mao Shiba's eyes kept dancing as he listened.

It turns out that the war can still be fought like this.

Like the story about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, they obviously wanted to save Zhao, but they chose not to go to Zhao.

Instead, they besieged the State of Wei and forced the enemy to retreat, achieving the purpose of saving the State of Zhao.

The loss is very small, but the effect is equivalent.

Mao Shiba felt that he had learned it, but when he touched his head, he felt that he could not figure it out clearly.

It still needs to be tempered in actual combat.

I don’t know if my surrender this time will be regarded as a great service. Can I be selected as a formal member of the Flying Eagle Army?

Although the current Flying Eagle Army is not led by General Liu, but led by Zhao Ping, it seems that it can reach a higher level.

As he becomes stronger, revenge for the former Flying Eagle Army is unknown.

Just as he was daydreaming, Zhao Ping led the people back.

After making sure that each other was safe, Zhao Ping asked the escorts to rest, while he called the leaders together for a meeting to arrange follow-up work.

very simple.

The first item is that he wants to leave.

Knowing that His Majesty was going to send him to the Yuguan Pioneer Camp to die, Zhao Ping also had to make arrangements.

At the very least, the kerosene jar must be taken out.

If we are really driven to Yuguan, with that thing, we can resist one or two in the war.

The second item is to bring people.

This time when he goes back, Zhao Ping plans to take only Mao Shiba with him.

Of course, Li Hu is his personal bodyguard, the kind who never leaves, so he must follow him.

The rest were all left to Zuo Zhigang.

The third item is to suppress bandits.

Led by Zuo Zhigang and Ruan Wendi as the military advisor, they took Evil Wind Valley as the center to eliminate the surrounding bandits.

And waiting for Zhao Ping's orders at any time.

If the situation changes, he will give up suppressing the bandits and recall all his men to Xiping Village.

The fourth item, trophies.

Due to the shortage of manpower for the time being, all the spoils obtained were kept in Bad Wind Valley for military use.

Xiping Village no longer provided money and food, allowing Zuo Zhigang to fight to support his war.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one raised any objections.

Everyone knows that if you want to stay in Xiping Village, you must continue to learn, make progress, and grow.

This bandit suppression was an opportunity that Zhao Ping gave them to practice.

Whether they can be promoted to official bodyguards or become a member of the Flying Eagle Army all depends on their military exploits.

Each one of them even had some expectations.

After the meeting, Zhao Ping rested for a night, and then left Evil Wind Valley with Li Hu and Mao Shiba the next day and rushed to Xiping Village.

The reason why I brought Mao Shiba was to let him meet Liu Mengru.

Become an official member of the Eagle Army.

Secondly, it also makes it easier for Zuo Zhigang to manage his manpower.

There cannot be two bosses in the team, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble.

They were at a standstill here, but Xia Quan was fighting in full swing.

His mission is to eliminate bandits in various counties in Donghai County.

Donghai County has eight counties under its jurisdiction: Pingyuan County and Yinan County to the south; Luqiu County, Yun'an County, and Linhai County to the east; Boxing County and Yibei County to the north.

There is only one Huai'an County to the west.

With the county as the center, it radiates in all directions.

The bandits in Yun'an County have been pacified by Zhao Ping, and Qi Liang wants to spread the bandits around Yun'an County.

Xia Quan chose to start from Huai'an County, the farthest place.

That side is closer to the county town and there are fewer bandits, only two groups.

According to the intelligence, there are not many bandits on each hilltop, only about 150 people in total.

Divide Huai'an County into two parts and share the resettlement expenses.

But they were more barbaric than the bandits in Yun'an County. In addition to collecting civilian accommodation fees, they also robbed some civilian women, money and food, etc. everywhere.

Of course, this robbery is also done in different ways.

After all, after collecting the security fee, you have to protect the safety of the people on that side. You can't just run over and rob it yourself, right?

So I grab the other party's.

It's rude to come and go without reciprocating, and the other party will come over and steal what the other party has.

Very tacit understanding.

For example, if the boss of one party wants to find a pretty widow to moisturize her, he will say hello to the other party in advance.

The other party passes back information such as which family's widows are the most handsome, which family's widows are the smoothest, which family's widows are the easiest to acquire, etc.

By the way, they need to go to the landlord's house in that village.

The reason was that the landlord's silly son had scolded the bandits.

The party who wants the widow will provide corresponding information, such as the distribution of nursing homes in the landlord's house, when is the best time to start, etc.

Is it really just a walk?

It was common to bring back some money and grain, and then accidentally put the landowner's concubine into a sack and transport it back to the village as grain.

After exchanging information, the action begins.

Everyone gets what they need, and they work together perfectly.

After getting this information, Xia Quan thought that Ma Jiu would rob his mother when he saw her, resulting in the death of both his parents.

Xia Quan couldn't help but grit his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

But he knew that he was the commander of the bodyguards and must not be swayed by emotions, otherwise he would easily make wrong judgments.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Quan regained his composure and began to make arrangements.

This time to suppress the bandits, he brought 600 bodyguards, plus 20 female soldiers from the Flying Eagle Army.

Among the bodyguards were Yun Man, Liu Muyun, Xia Yang and other sharp archers who were born as Orions.

There is also the fat man team formed by Gao Meng, the fifty-three fat men who Zhao Ping calls the camp.

He carries three Tang knives and twenty-eight axes.

It is not a problem at all to wipe out the bandits of about 150 people.

But Xia Quan did not ask for help, but sent someone to investigate first.

Yun Man and Liu Muyun acted as scouts to investigate the defense situation and living habits of the bandits.

Three days later, the two touched each other clearly.

After collecting the resettlement fees, the bandits became richer.

Except for the five people who went down the mountain to check out the spots, looking for some beautiful folk girls, or to see which family was rich and easy to rob.

The rest basically stay in the mountains gambling.

I can gamble until midnight.

The guard was lax, only ten men, divided into two teams.

One team is at the bottom of the mountain, basically sleeping and waiting for daybreak to replace the team.

After all, they are bandits, and generally no one dares to attack them.

The other team was wandering around the cottage, and there was no danger at all. They were also the ones who slept until dawn.

Xia Quan divided his troops and sent generals.

Yun Man led the archers to kill the guards.

Gao Meng led the fat man team and the female soldiers to attack from the front, and Yun Man and other archers assisted in shooting.

Xia Quan led the remaining men to spread out to prevent the bandits from escaping.

It's going very well.

Patrolling bandits almost always ended their lives in their sleep.

Gao Meng roared that someone was attacking the mountain and attracted the bandits who were gambling inside.

Those people just looked at the situation and didn't even take the thing in their hands.

Yun Man and others fired one round, and more than ten people fell down.

Then Gao Meng led the charge and killed.

One blow of an ax can end a person's life.

Twenty people, carrying twenty axes, seemed to be in an uninhabited land.

Even if the opponent picks up weapons to resist, it will be in vain.

After all, the ax was not only heavy, but the blade was also sharp. In addition, the fat man was very powerful, so he immediately chopped off the opponent's weapon and disemboweled the person with it.

Seeing that the situation was bad, the bandits tried to escape, but Xia Quan and others were ambushed and shot some of them.

The remaining bandits all threw away their weapons and surrendered.

The first bandit suppression was successfully completed.

No casualties.

Many people didn't even take action.

For example, female soldiers.

It's just like following the team of fat people to make soy sauce.

But it can be regarded as a kind of experience.

I saw broken arms and limbs, blood flowing all over the ground, and even some people's intestines protruding.

All of them were vomiting non-stop.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

Xia Quan recorded all these situations.

This was Liu Mengru's request. He must comply with it and use it as a screening criterion to eliminate some of them.

The Flying Eagle Army only has the best of the best.

If you are so dizzy that you vomit at the sight of blood, you should go to the Xiping Village Textile Factory to work on the loom.

With the experience of the first time, it took less time to eliminate the second wave of bandits.

It only took three days to inquire about the situation.

In seven days, Xia Quan wiped out all the bandits in Huai'an County.

Although it is not as good as Zhao Ping's achievements, it is still unprecedented in the history of the Dawei Dynasty.

This caused everyone to drift away.

They all wanted to personally lead part of the manpower to separately suppress the bandits and speed up the progress.

But Xia Quan rejected him.

"Have you forgotten what Mr. told us before we left?"

Xia Quan said coldly: "No matter how weak the enemy is, we cannot have the slightest contempt. We must go all out."

"Leave a hundred people behind and send these bandits to the county seat and hand them over to Governor Peng for disposal."

Xia Quan continued to give instructions: "Let's go south to Pingyuan County."

"Meet at the Chenghuang Temple five miles north of the county town, and then destroy the bandits in Pingyuan County."

This time the speed was faster. In seven days, not only the bandits in Pingyuan County were wiped out, but also the bandits in Yinan County were wiped out.

Counting the time spent on the road, it only took half a month to wipe out the bandits in three counties.

Just as they were planning to go north to suppress bandits in Luqiu County, Xia Quan received a bamboo tube with a note inside.

The note read - be alert. Except for the bandits from Linhai County who were entangled by Qi Liang, the bandits from the other counties in Donghai County have all gathered in the Yishui Village in Yibei County. There are thousands of them. Don't act rashly. It's better to be careful.
