Old Feng thought that it would be the thief who attacked at night or that there was any bad news from Deputy General Wang.

The messenger said, "General, Deputy General Wang is back!"

"He led a group of scholars, and the people behind him were escorting a group of bandits!"

Old Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many people have been betrayed?"

Deputy General Wang brought fifty people out, and being able to take dozens of people back was considered a good record.

The messenger said happily: "Around 300 people have been escorted!"

"There are some injured people behind us, and we have sent someone to pick them up!"

"Three, three hundred people?"

Old Feng said in surprise: "Is this old king possessed the God of War?"

"Take fifty people out and take three hundred people back."

"Will that group of people be influenced by him and then turn them into light, right?"

Old Feng was very curious and took the people directly to the tent to pick up people outside the tent.

Deputy General Wang, who was leading the way, soon appeared in front of everyone, followed Zhao Ce behind him and then...

Behind each soldier, there was a scholar sitting.

Deputy General Wang came to Lao Feng in high spirits, got off the horse and knelt on one knee and said, "General!"

Old Feng nodded, pulled him up from the ground, and looked at Zhao Ce and others behind him.

In addition to Zhao Ce, the remaining weak scholars all looked full of energy for some reason.

Old Feng asked curiously: "I heard that you have captured about 300 people?"

Deputy General Wang said proudly: "More than just?"

"Under the leadership of Mr. Zhao and the help of other young gentlemen and others, we captured almost all the thieves who ran to our suburbs!"

"Only two of us have suffered minor injuries."

"But dozens of thieves escaped, dozens of casualties, and all three hundred people who could run were taken back!"

Old Feng said in surprise: "Are you serious?"

Deputy General Wang patted his chest: "Of course it's true!"

"With Mr. Zhao, let alone fifty-five-hundred-five-hundred-five-hundred-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-five-killing-f

Old Feng turned his attention to Zhao Ce, astonished as if he had never known Zhao Ce.

The group of scholars behind Zhao Ce all held their heads up and nodded confidently.

Lao Feng was still surprised when he saw them, who were usually bright and beautiful scholars, who had been sleeping in the woods and fields all day long, and they were now gray-headed and only had a pair of black eyes left.

He asked these people to take them down and wash and rest first, and prepare to ask carefully tomorrow.

Everyone was taken back to the camp and looked at everything in the camp curiously.

Zhao Ce walked at the end and came to Lao Feng.

Lao Feng looked at the only clean and tidy person and said in disbelief: "How can you still lead troops?"

Zhao Ce waved his hand: "I can't think of leading troops, I just saw a few military tactics."

"Fortunately, there are no casualties on our side, otherwise we would have to feel guilty for a long time."

Old Feng's mouth twitched.

Good guy, even though he, a commander in the treasury, dared not say that he would bring so few people up to beat hundreds of people, and he could also ensure that his own people are safe and sound.

Zhao Ce said that he knew how to use military tactics, but he did such a shocking thing.

This scholar is not only fierce, but also a talented person...

It seems that I still underestimate this person too much.

Old Feng was stunned by the news for a while before saying, "Good boy! You can go down and wash and rest first."

"Go back tomorrow..."

"General, let's talk with one step." Zhao Ce suddenly interrupted Lao Feng's words.

Old Feng looked at Zhao Ce in confusion, but saw that his face was not as relaxed as he imagined.

Lao Feng looked at the prisoners who were taken back around him, nodded and said, "You follow me."

When the two returned to the camp, Lao Feng sent his left and right away before saying to Zhao Ce: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Ce directly told him what he heard on the mountain during the day: "Old Feng, the situation is not very good."

"I suspect that the salt inspector sent by the court was arrested by them!"

Old Feng frowned and said, "Is this what you found out?"

Zhao Ce nodded and briefly repeated what those people on the mountain chatted and said.

Old Feng gritted his teeth and said, "This group of people is really a rebellion!"

"If you don't live a good life in peace and prosperity, you just want to do big things every day!"

Zhao Ce also said in a heavy tone: "The target of this group of people is the salt mine. If they want to do big things, they will inevitably occupy our city."

"At that time, they can also join forces with local officials in Guangxi from the wharf outside the capital. Even if they can't beat them, they have a way to retreat."

Thinking of the natives in the salt mine, Lao Feng also knew that things were probably very urgent.

He frowned and looked at the sand table in front of him.

Zhao Ce continued: "Old Feng, we must temporarily close the waterway leading to the western county town. We must be on guard and not let them sneak to the county town below."

The location towards the salt mine is in the other direction of Shuiqiao Village, and the distance is a bit far.

However, Zhao Ce was still a little worried.

So when he said these words, he also had a little selfishness.

Old Feng thought for a while and said in a dilemma: "I'm not sure how many of these thieves have come now, so it's probably not easy to deal with."

"We don't have enough people in the garrison, and we probably can't get too many troops."

According to convention, there should be 5,600 people in their garrison.

However, Zhao Ce had helped them read the account book so many times, but in fact he had already discovered it.

There are definitely not 5,600 people in this trunk.

And those who occupy the quota but are missing are obviously the legendary salary.

But Zhao Ce is not easy to talk about these things.

Basically every army will have such things.

After all, there is only so much military expenditure allocated from above. After layer by layer, those who actually go to their garrison will definitely be greatly reduced.

If you really want the soldiers not to be hungry and be able to eat and wear warmly, you must have other countermeasures to deal with this situation.

At least Zhao Ce has been in this garrison for so long, but he has never heard of any soldiers complaining about Lao Feng.

Even the soldiers below would call him "Old Feng" kindly in their spare time.

So Zhao Ce saw this from the beginning and did not say anything else.

Lao Feng may be a bad person, or a good person.

This is also the reason why Lao Feng admires Zhao Ce so much.

The two foxes looked at each other and saw it in each other's eyes.

Old Feng nodded and said, "I have asked someone to go to the provincial government to ask for the general's support today."

"You are right. I will arrange for some people to set up intercept gates and not let people enter and exit the city for the time being."

"As for the Censor..."
