In less than three hours, some people could no longer bear it.
They were yelled at to open the lid, but they relented and no longer dared to break the rules.
Zhao Ping did not refuse and released the beggar.
Those people were dirty and covered in sweat, as if they had just experienced a big battle.
He collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, unable to even stand up, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
The man trembled and apologized to Zhao Ping, promising not to make the same mistake again.
Zhao Ping nodded and agreed, but the punishment must be enough.
This time it was only for an hour. Later, the state recovered and the lock was continued until the lock was completed for twelve hours.
The man turned pale with fright.
Fortunately, when you can't hold on anymore, you can ask someone to climb up, which is also a kind of exercise.
A total of eight people were imprisoned that time.
Four came out in one hour, and three came out in two hours.
The remaining one was dragged out while delivering food, and he fainted at some point.
Since then, the dark room has become a nightmare for escorts.
No one dares to touch the bottom line of the rules easily anymore.
So when he heard that Xia Quan was going to lock him in a small dark room, Gao Meng's face became quite frightened.
Apologize promptly.
"No problem."
Gao Yu just waved his hand indifferently and didn't care about Gao Meng.
She once sought answers from Zhao Ping for this matter.
Zhao Ping said something to her.
The first sentence is, go your own way and let others tell you.
If you have a mouth on other people, you have no control over what they say.
The second sentence is a slap in the face based on strength.
When your strength grows to a high enough level, those rumors will cease to exist.
Just like Wen Qi, he is Zhao Ping's brother-in-law.
But no one thought that it was because of this relationship that he could enter the core layer.
But rely on one's own strength.
In terms of combat power alone, Wen Qi is not inferior to Xia Quan.
He can fight back and forth with Zuo Zhigang, the centurion of the Flying Eagle Army, and he has great hope of becoming a formal member of the Flying Eagle Army.
This is also the main reason why Gao Yu trains hard and wants to become stronger.
Therefore, she was only slightly angry at the beginning with Gao Meng's choreography, but her anger soon subsided.
He asked Xia Quan, "Boss Xia, what do those bandit masters like? We can arrange the corresponding supplies according to their preferences."
"As for the lobbyists, we can send our female soldiers there."
"Female soldiers are somewhat more thoughtful than male soldiers, and they will be more skillful in negotiations."
"no."
Xia Quan immediately refused.
These twenty female soldiers are all elites carefully selected by Liu Mengru.
Following him this time is just to see blood.
If it really breaks down, even if Liu Mengru doesn't say anything, she will blame him in her heart.
Even if the bandits cannot be wiped out, Xia Quan will never let the female soldiers suffer serious casualties.
Those bandit leaders are often lustful.
Gao Yu looks good.
Coupled with the hard training during this period, the lines on the body are very distinct and can be done in many poses. It is the favorite of those bandits.
"Let's see if there are any other ways first?"
"If not, then consider the divorce plan."
Gao Yu pursed his lips and said no more.
This is the prejudice of male soldiers against female soldiers, and there is nothing she can do to change it.
What's more, during the previous suppression of bandits, most of the female soldiers were so dizzy after seeing the bloody scenes.
It’s really hard to say who is really going to be sent out as a lobbyist.
"What else can be done?"
Gao Meng said angrily: "I think it's good to use countermeasures."
"If we can't send female soldiers, then we can send male soldiers."
"I can go."
"What are you going to do?"
Xia Quan said angrily: "Have you been killed as a fat pig and eaten?"
"I……"
Gao Meng said speechlessly: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"You can't just wait like this, right?"
"Let me mention a few points first."
Xia Quan pondered for a moment and said: "First of all, let's not consider the divorce plan for the time being."
"After all, our staff are all bodyguards, and the bodyguards are all selected from the common people. For the time being, there is no one who can act as a lobbyist."
"Secondly, can you think of a way to lure the bandits down the mountain?"
"If they don't all go down the mountain, we can defeat them one by one; if they all go down the mountain, we will take advantage of the opportunity and go straight to Huanglong."
"In the end, I really can't find a way, so I just wait."
"Nine families of bandits gather together, but they seem to be in harmony but not in heart. Sooner or later, something will change."
"We just need to pay close attention to them. When they are in civil strife, we can then take action to reduce casualties as much as possible."
"Boss Xia, after you said that, I thought of a plan."
Gao Yu raised a good-looking brow and said: "Drive straight in to attack Yishui Village, then pretend failure and flee."
"Ambush halfway and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"I've thought about this strategy too."
Xia Quan shook his head, "But the casualties will be heavy."
"And our people are all bodyguards. They have never experienced a real battlefield. Pretending to be defeated is easy, but it is very difficult to retreat in an orderly manner."
"If something goes wrong during the retreat, the bandits may annihilate them all before they reach the ambush location."
"This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do?"
Gao Meng became a little impatient, "Is this the end of our suppression of bandits?"
"Sir, he said that after I wipe out the bandits in Donghai County, they will then spread to Linbian."
"I still want to go north to Pingyan County to suppress bandits."
"You are a veteran, why are you still so impatient? When will you change your temper?"
Xia Quan glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Suppressing bandits is also a war. In war, you should not be impatient, but fight steadily. Only in this way can you avoid excessive casualties."
"Right now, the bodyguards are all ordinary people from Xiping Village, Xia Village and other places. They are members of Mr.'s team. I feel so sad when they die."
Gao Meng drooped his head in scolding and stopped making any sound.
This meeting also ends.
To sum up, etc.
Waiting for the nine waves of bandits in Yishui Village to have civil strife.
They were discussing strategies, and the bandits were also discussing.
Nine families of bandits gathered in Yishui Village, with a manpower of 1,200, which can be said to be in full swing.
Everyone was screaming and wanted to take the initiative and chop off Xia Quan's head.
But there are exceptions.
For example, the master of several bandits.
Of course, not every bandit family has a master.
The master is known as a staff member, and non-literary people are not allowed to serve, and they must be resourceful.
Of the nine families of bandits, only three have masters.
All three blocked it, proving that taking the initiative has little chance of winning.
The result of their discussion was also the same.
Waiting for Xia Quan to take action, he can see the opponent's approach and remain unchanged in response to all changes.
After five days of this, Zhao Ping returned to Donghai County.
He did not go home immediately, but instead went to the county governor's house to meet Peng Yue.
He helped Donghai County suppress the bandits. As the county guard, Peng Yue should give some blood, such as rewarding him with several houses.
At least allow industries from Xiping Village to settle in the county.
The textile factory in Xiping Village has started construction, and it is time to sell the cloth.
"Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"
Peng Yue heard his servant's report and hurriedly went out to greet him, "That's really great. I was trying to find a way to contact you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. The two of us really have a good understanding."
Zhao Ping had black lines all over his head.
I'm a grown man and you, a bad old man, have a connection?
Do you want it to be a little more disgusting?
Zhao Ping asked straight to the point: "Governor Peng, why are you looking for the official office?"
"Suppress bandits."
Peng Yue said: "Xiaquan has encountered difficulties in suppressing bandits."
"oh?"
Zhao Ping pretended to be confused and said: "What's the problem?"
With the poker team here, not only did Zhao Ping know everything about Xia Quan's bandit suppression, but he also knew the news about Qi Liang.
It's just that Qi Liang went to Linhai County, which was far away from the state capital, so the news was a little slow to be delivered.
Peng Yue said: "Xia Quan's bandit suppression was too successful. He wiped out eight bandits from three counties in succession. The remaining bandits took action after hearing the news and are now united together. Xia Quan's manpower is too small and they cannot be wiped out."
"Mr. Zhao, can you give me some ideas to wipe out all the remaining bandits?"
"Any ideas?"
Zhao Ping said angrily: "Our bodyguard bureau in Xiping Village only has a total of 600 people, but several bandit families have joined together, and the number of people is even twice as many as the bodyguards."
"In the face of this situation, no matter how good the strategy is, it is useless."
"What should we do?"
Peng Yue was in trouble, "The task of suppressing bandits is an order personally issued by His Majesty. The eradication will not be completed. I, the county guard, may not be able to move to my home until I die."
"It's actually easy to handle."
Zhao Ping said.
"Easy to handle?"
Peng Yue's face lit up, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ping's hand, and said excitedly: "I knew that Mr. Zhao must have a way."
"Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
"Move troops."
Zhao Ping said: "There are too many bandits now, and it's definitely not possible to rely on bodyguards alone."
"The county guards must be dispatched."
"If I remember correctly, our Donghai County has a garrison of 5,000 people. Even if it is not full, we can still raise 3,000 soldiers, right?"
"Now that the bandits are united, they are all huddled in Yishui Village. We only need to send troops to surround them. In less than a month, the bandits will surely defeat themselves."
"this……"
Peng Yue's joyful expression faded, and his sad expression returned.
To send out troops, you need food and grass.
Donghai County can't afford three thousand soldiers and a month's worth of food and grass.
"Where's the lack of food and grass?"
Zhao Ping seemed to know Peng Yue's predicament and asked with a smile, "Can we discuss the terms?"
"I can provide food and grass for the soldiers, but accordingly, you have to give me some compensation. You can't let me provide food and grass in vain, right?"
