Everyone was speechless when they saw Governor Han Feng leading hundreds of boy scouts and carrying the banner of the Anbei Army into the expedition.
In the end, Shi Yishan couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Governor, these, these children are...?"
Han Feng said to Shi Yishan with a calm expression: "Oh... they are the old troops trained by the governor when he was in Bailong County. Now they happen to join the Anbei Army and are one of the main forces of the Anbei Army."
"Well……"
Shi Yishan's eyelids twitched in disbelief, but when his eyes scanned these hundreds of boys and girls.
However, they found that after everyone stood in the queue, everyone was like a lifeless sculpture, standing there with a blank gaze and making no sound.
Shi Yishan has been a soldier for half his life, and his eyes are extremely vicious. He immediately sensed that each of these boys and girls was not weak in cultivation, and they were silently releasing a surging and ferocious aura.
He keenly smelled the bloody smell on their bodies. These seemingly small teenagers were not only well-trained, but also had a lot of blood on their hands. They were also a warrior capable of hundreds of battles.
Although he was very surprised, Shi Yishan still believed that it was child's play for an army composed of only a hundred and half-year-old children to contend with the tens of thousands of "former Anbei Army" who were like wolves and tigers.
He wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a flash of light in the sky, several warships appeared, and a low cry suddenly came from the ground.
"They are from the seven major families."
The seven major families, as the seven most powerful families in Xichuan Province, have profound family backgrounds and have moon-level powerful men in charge.
If the seven families unite, their strength may not be much weaker than that of the Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, it was obvious that the seven major families had received the order and each sent their own men to go out with the army.
However, everyone soon discovered something was wrong. There were only four escaping lights in the sky, which were the warships of the "Jin", "Lu", "Nangong" and "Duanmu" families.
The warships of Murong, Tian, and Liu families were still missing.
"How is this going?"
Seeing this situation, Shi Yishan also frowned.
Han Feng on the side said calmly: "Early this morning, the Murong family, Tian family and Liu family have sent a message to the Governor's Mansion, saying that when the Anbei army rebelled and went north, their families were severely damaged.
Nowadays, the three families have suffered heavy losses and experienced huge internal divisions. They are no longer able to send troops to fight, and they have each donated tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones as military supplies. "
Hearing this, Shi Yishan frowned even more and snorted coldly: "Huh, when the Anbei Army defected, although they passed through the territories of these three families, they only plundered small martial arts families.
That guy Fu Zhuo is not stupid and will not bite these three hard bones. They are clearly looking for excuses to avoid fighting. "
Han Feng smiled and said no more. He looked up at the warships of the four major families and landed in the open space.
Immediately, four rays of light flew out from the warship. They were the representatives of the four families who had greeted Han Feng at the Governor's Mansion.
The four people came to visit Han Feng and General Shi, and then brought them with them, and the four families summoned the warship.
A shocking scene appeared again. Each of the four major families only brought about a hundred or so people. Their cultivation levels were also sparse and ordinary. They were all Hui-level, Chen-level spiritual warriors, not even star-level spiritual warriors. One person.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of everyone present became extremely subtle.

When Shi Yishan, who was already dissatisfied with the seven major families, saw this, his face sank, and he looked at the representatives of the four families and said, "Is this the team you brought?"
Facing Shi Yishan's fierce gaze, the four representatives felt awe in their hearts.
Immediately, the white-haired old man from the Nangong family explained with a wry smile: "Master General, it's not that we don't want to send more manpower, it's just that there is a rebellion in the province now, and people everywhere are panicked.
Our four families have been favored by the empire and the Governor-General's Office, and all of them have sent their strongest members to various prefectures and counties to help local defenses and appease people's hearts.
Now I suddenly received an order to go on an expedition today. For a while, I really can't dispatch too many people. I hope the Governor and the Commander-in-Chief will forgive me! "
Representatives of the four families complained bitterly to Han Feng and Shi Yishan, as if they had already drained their wealth and cooperated with the Governor's Mansion's expedition.
Shi Yishan secretly clenched his fists and did not give the four people a good look, but Han Feng expressed his understanding and asked the four people to clean up the team first and prepare to set off.
After the four people left, Shi Yishan couldn't help but curse angrily: "These bastards just sent so many people to fool things. Do you really think I don't know their family background?"
When Han Feng heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There's nothing we can do about it. Who can support them?"
Hearing this, Shi Yishan clenched his fists tighter and said in a cold voice: "It must be Shen Tai. Seeing that he was not given military power, he deliberately made the seven major families unable to work and came to create trouble for us."
Han Feng shook his head and sighed: "Alas... Yesterday, the governor stepped forward to suppress Shen Tai. I originally thought that this man's hatred and anger would be directed towards the governor alone.
In this way, it will not affect the commander-in-chief's dispatch of troops to suppress the enemy, and it will also allow the seven major families to share some of the pressure for the commander-in-chief. Unexpectedly, Shen Tai is so sinister. "
When Shi Yishan heard this, he couldn't help but be moved and said: "The Governor has worked so hard, and I will definitely remember it in my heart."
But then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, this Shen Tai, although he was arrogant in the past, did not interfere in the military affairs of the province, so I will be tolerant to him.
Now that the enemy is facing us, he is still so ignorant of the general situation. After the bandits are wiped out, I will definitely be incompatible with him. "
Hearing this, Han Feng sighed with worry on his face, but he was filled with relief in his heart.
A month ago, when he first came to Tianxing City, he felt that his subordinates, the two provincial second-in-commands, the General Soldier and the Governor, were hostile to him.
Han Feng knew that he must not let the two hug each other for warmth, otherwise he would have difficulty controlling Xichuan.
But to have the cake and eat it too, he could only choose one person to "break through" it.
In the end, Han Feng chose Shi Yishan. After all, this person belonged to the military and was in the same camp as his elder brother. Han Feng also preferred to deal with such straightforward military generals.
This is how he went to inspect the camps in the northwest and made a bet with Shi Yishan.
Yesterday, in front of civil and military officials, Han Feng praised Shi Yishan and stepped on Shen Tai.
Its purpose, in addition to considering the war, is also to tell Shen Tai and others that he and Shi Yishan have reached a front and are by no means alone.
Of course, this alone is not enough. He and Shi Yishan have only been together for a short time, and they need to get closer to each other.
Therefore, at this time, it would be best to stir up the hatred between Shi Yishan and Shen Tai and intensify the conflict between the two.
The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The worse the relationship between people, Shi Yishan will naturally lean more towards himself.
However, this is only the first step of Han Feng's plan.
After all, Mr. Shi has profound qualifications and advanced cultivation. It is obviously not enough to completely control this person with these small means.
Therefore, this battle north to counter the rebellion is his best opportunity.
Not only Shi Yishan, but also Shen Tai's biggest ace "Seven Families", Han Feng has also secretly paid attention to it.
If while controlling Xichuan's military power, he could also steal Shen Tai's trump card and make this guy a "bare commander", wouldn't he completely control Xichuan Province?
"Damn, when did I become so bad?"
Han Feng touched his nose and sighed secretly, but an excited smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
After a while, the army was ready.
Under Shi Yishan's command, the troops, mounts, food and grass... were all transported to the warship in an orderly manner.
During this period, Han Feng and the new Chief Secretary Fang Ziqing, among the officials who came to see him off from the Governor's Mansion, had a secret conversation on the side of the city tower.
Han Feng said to Fang Ziqing: "Master Fang, not long after I first came to Xichuan and took office, in order to thank the emperor for his kindness, the Japanese governor recently prepared a batch of tributes and planned to send them to the Imperial Palace.
But the governor was worried that something might happen on the way, so he wanted to ask Mr. Fang to help him transport the tribute secretly. "
When Fang Ziqing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Han Feng could take the position of governor at such a young age.
It has only been a month since he took office, and he has already prepared treasures to honor His Majesty. How could His Majesty not value him.
Fang Ziqing, who sighed in his heart that "you have to live and learn" quickly clapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, even if I risk my life, I will personally deliver these tributes to the palace."
Fang Ziqing didn't have Han Feng's ability and couldn't please His Majesty Emperor Wu, so he could only hug Han Feng's in-law's thigh tightly.
Han Feng nodded when he heard this, and handed a jade slip and a storage ring to Fang Ziqing.
"Sir Fang, these are the tributes prepared by the governor, as well as the route and time for the transportation of the tributes. The governor has made detailed plans. You only need to act according to the plan."
Fang Ziqing quickly and carefully held two items in his hands.
"I obey your orders."
Han Feng warned again and again: "Master Fang, if you handle this matter well, I will give you great rewards!
But if you mess up, your position as Chief Secretary is not yet secure, and there are still many people below who are thinking about it. "
When Fang Ziqing heard this, his heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and responded: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will definitely act according to the Lord Governor's plan."
Han Feng nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the army had all boarded the warships and was ready.
Han Feng first glanced towards the city and the Han Mansion, and felt several powerful and familiar auras coming.
With peace of mind, he immediately jumped up and flew onto the warship at the front.
With an order, the entire army set off, and more than a dozen huge warships took off, heading towards Makino County in the north at full speed!
