On the second day, the letter of appointment and the seal came out, and the person appointed was the Lieutenant of Huyang County, Huzhou.
Immediately, Ling Feng led his subordinates to Nanyang Road in Jingzhou. Although Yizhou and Jingzhou are connected, they are tens of thousands of miles apart. The development of civilization in this world is far less than that of the main world. Teleportation arrays are impossible and only high-level dragon scale horses can be used.
In the ordinary world, a thousand-mile horse is already a famous horse, but in this world, the dragon-scaled horse has dragon blood and has unparalleled endurance. It can easily travel thousands of miles in a day, which is a journey of just a few days.
However, dragon scale horses are worth tens of thousands of gold, and ordinary people cannot afford to buy one. Fortunately, Ling Feng's family is rich and he sold some monster bones to be able to afford seven.
In addition, for ordinary officials taking office, the most important thing is safety when traveling, because there are really many bandits and bandits at this time. Therefore, the officials of the Han Dynasty were all strong in martial arts.
But Ling Feng didn't need to worry. Even his six subordinates had been promoted to the highest level of innate ability and were able to protect themselves. What he should worry about were bandits.
Immediately, Ling Feng and others left from the east city gate of Changle County. Ye Xianglan came here to see them off and bid farewell.
Four days later, Ling Feng successfully arrived in Huyang County and officially took over the position of county lieutenant.
The first thing Ling Feng did when he became a county lieutenant was to summon all his subordinates, including military commanders and commanders. Although Huyang County is a county, its military strength is only 3,000, with six military commanders and three military commanders.
However, Ling Feng waited in the camp for a long time, but only one military commander arrived.
Ling Feng asked: "Where are the others?"
The military commander said: "They are all sick."
Ling Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and immediately showed off his power, then he would take care of them and truly take control of this army. Immediately, he looked at the military commander, half-smiling but not smiling, and said, "Then why are you here? Do you want to take refuge, or are you simply helping them carry a message?"
The military commander felt a chill in his heart when he saw Ling Feng smiling. If he were an ordinary person, he would be so humiliated by his subordinates that he would definitely become angry. However, this person is so indifferent, I am afraid that he is not an easy character to deal with, and several army commanders may be self-defeating. But now that Ling Feng asked him to take sides, he should have chosen neutrality. But he wanted to take a gamble, so he clasped his fists and said: "Wei Yang, a humble official, meets the captain!"
Ling Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "From today on, you will be the Army Sima."
Wei Yang pondered for a moment and said: "It's just that several army officers and horses are all innately skilled in cultivation. With my cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
Ling Feng smiled and said, "I will give you strength!"
Immediately, he injected a pure Yang attribute Yuanli True Seed into Wei Yang's body, and the latter's cultivation level immediately climbed steadily, from the peak of the middle innate to the ultimate innate.
Wei Yang felt the strong cultivation in his body, and he immediately bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. As long as you have a destiny, Wei Yang will definitely go through fire and water, even if you die!"
Ling Feng didn't care how true or false he was, he nodded and said: "It's enough for you to have this heart. Let's talk about the situation here."
At this time, Wei Yang knew that Ling Feng's cultivation was unfathomable and he was determined to surrender completely, so he told the situation in detail. It turned out that one of the three army commanders was named Han Fei, who was already a half-step master in Ningyuan, and he was born in a prominent family in Huyang County. This person was instigating this action against Ling Feng.
The other two military commanders were named Sun Lu and Li Jun, and they were also members of the local noble families. It can be said that these three thousand people were actually under the control of the local noble families. When the ordinary commander came, he could only leave in despair. . Although the other five military commanders were not all local nobles, they were basically bribed.
After hearing this, Ling Feng said calmly: "Come with me to see Han Fei!"
Immediately, the two came to the barracks where Han Fei was located.
At this time, a middle-aged man was lying in bed and said in a weak voice: "This must be the new Lord Ling. Please forgive me for being ill and unable to stand up to salute."
Ling Feng smiled and said: "Brother Han, why should you be so cautious? Take a good rest and wait until you get better!"
Immediately, Ling Feng took Wei Yang and left.
At this time, Han Fei got up from the bed and said with a smile: "It's a joke for a mere brat to think that by spending money to buy an official, he can sit on top of me."
However, he didn't know that Ling Feng had secretly planted a magical power in his body, which would explode after three days of incubation, which was the day of his death.
Later, Ling Feng visited two other military commanders and five military commanders.
Three days later, two military commanders, Han Fei and Sun Lu, died of illness. Only Li Jun was weak but not dead.
At this time, Ling Feng promoted Wei Yang to serve as Army Sima, attracting the position of another Army Sima. The other five military commanders immediately started killing each other. In the end, one man died due to the fight, and one surrendered to Ling Feng, successfully gaining the military title. Sima's position.
Not long after, Li Jun and the other four military commanders were also subdued by Ling Feng, and the three thousand county soldiers were completely under Ling Feng's control.
At this time, he summoned all the soldiers in the army and conducted a census, only to find that there were only more than 2,200 soldiers in the army, and the remaining 180 or so soldiers were eating empty pay. The recruitment of county soldiers requires at least warriors with profound internal skills, but half of them are ordinary farmers. And most of the military pay did not fall into the hands of the county captain.
No wonder the Han Dynasty was about to perish. The interests of the imperial court were eaten up by these moths. It would be a wonder if it didn't perish!
Ling Feng immediately eliminated more than 800 people who had been paid without pay, and began to recruit soldiers. He took the opportunity to incorporate six of his subordinates into the establishment, served as the commander of the camp, and began to train soldiers.
Immediately, Ling Feng took the sword himself and killed many people before getting his military pay back. However, he had completely offended the local nobles. The governor of Huyang County was also somewhat hostile to Ling Feng. The chief catcher of Huyang County in Liumen is also secretly investigating Ling Feng.
But Ling Feng didn't care. When the Yellow Turban Uprising breaks out, these pests can be cleaned up.
According to the investigation of six of his men, there are a large number of Taiping Dao believers active in Huyang County. I am afraid that once the Yellow Turban Uprising breaks out, without Ling Feng's resistance, Huyang County will inevitably fall.
Ling Feng also had this intention, so he led two thousand elite soldiers to train in the military camp outside the county city, leaving only Li Jun and one thousand ordinary soldiers to guard the county city. These people are destined to die at the hands of Taiping Dao.
Time flies, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the new year has arrived.
At this time, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jiao, reported the news, which led to Ma Yuanyi's death in Taiping Road after being torn apart by a car. The imperial court began to vigorously capture Taiping Road believers and killed thousands of them.
Therefore, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor, revolted in advance in the name of Cang Tian's death and Huang Tian's appointment.
Because they wore yellow scarves, Taiping Dao believers were also called Yellow Turban Army or Yellow Turban Thieves. Under the leadership of a Yellow Turban Qushuai, they began to conquer prefectures and counties. Nanyang Road was the hardest-hit area of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Many prefectures and counties were invaded by the Yellow Turban Army, and Huyang County was not spared.
