Based on the current situation in Dayu, there is actually not much difference between being a general in the army or a county lieutenant.
Even being a county captain still has something to do.
Moreover, if Luliang succeeded in suppressing the bandits, he would no longer be a mere county magistrate.
"I'm not sure."
Lu Fangdao: "But many times in life, you just need to give it a try, right? It's like two armies fighting. Only by fighting can you know the outcome. If you don't take action, you will never win. General Han, you are a soldier,
People should know this better than me."
Han Feihong fell silent again.
Fight!
After losing, he returned to the Chaling Army and was beaten by Yang.
If he wins, he might be able to embark on a different path and no longer have to endure the smoky atmosphere in a place like Chaling Army.
Finally, he said: "If I could really see hope of eradicating banditry, I would not stand idly by. But if I can't see hope, I would not take action."
"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate!"
Lu Fang stretched out his hand to him.
It was easier to convince Han Feihong than he thought.
This sentence is enough.
Han Feihong was stunned for a moment, and then his hand was grabbed by Lu Fang and he was shaken hard.
Lu Liang was laughing beside him.
With Lu Fang coming forward to say this, he wished he could save some energy. Xiao Fang, he is becoming more and more capable now!
When we came here, we took a carriage, but when we returned, there were two hundred soldiers following us on foot. Of course, our marching speed was much slower.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark.
Fortunately there is moonlight.
Go forward by moonlight.
It was not until Haishi that the group arrived at Youxian County.
So many people frightened the few soldiers guarding the city gate.
One by one, they wielded their weapons and looked at a loss.
Lu Liang got off the carriage and said: "Lü Liang from this county, these are the soldiers seconded from the Chaling Army in this county. Open the city gate quickly!"
The soldiers guarding the city took a look at the official robe he was wearing and the tooth tag he showed by the firelight, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"I've met the magistrate!"
After saluting Lu Liang, he quickly opened the city gate.
The tooth plaque is the status symbol of the officials of the Chongqing Dynasty. The official's name, official position, etc. are engraved on it.
Moreover, these tooth plaques are made of ivory, so there are basically few imitations among the public.
Of course there must be impostors, but if they are discovered, it will be a capital crime.
If an officer loses his tooth tag, it is also a felony.
Lu Liang returned to the carriage.
The large army marched into the city.
Several soldiers guarding the city stared at it for a long time, the surprise still in their eyes.
"Does this new master really want to suppress bandits?"
"I really can't tell. This posture seems to be serious!"
"I think it's true. None of the former county magistrates went to Chaling Army to borrow troops. And if you look at these soldiers, they all wear armor."
"..."
There was a lot of discussion.
When we entered the city, it was already dark. All the shops were closed.
Lu Fang asked Lao Xiao to slow down the carriage, opened the curtains and looked outside. After a while, he saw an inn.
Wanfu Inn.
These days, the names of most shops have some auspicious meanings, such as fortune, luck, harmony and so on.
Or, it is majestic, such as four seas, accessible, etc.
Lu Fang got out of the carriage and knocked on the door.
After a long while, the door opened and a head emerged from inside. When he saw the soldiers standing straight under the moonlight on the street outside, he was dumbfounded.
Lu Fang said: "Is there any room left?"
Only then did the boy come back to his senses, "Yes, yes. Sir, this is..."
He was frightened by this battle.
Lu Fang felt a little funny and said: "Don't be nervous, these are the soldiers borrowed by the county magistrate from the Chaling Army to suppress bandits. There is no military camp in the city, so I want to stay in the inn."
The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was late at night, but luckily there were soldiers wearing armor, otherwise he would have thought there were bandits with so many people.
Then he said: "I'll ask the shopkeeper."
After that, he ran inside.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a coat followed him out.
I was dumbfounded when I saw the battle outside.
Lu Fang had to explain it again.
Without an explanation, this inn probably wouldn't even dare to do this business.
After talking for a long time, it turned out that this inn could not accommodate so many people.
Fortunately, there is an inn nearby.
This time there was no need for Lu Fang to take action himself. The shopkeeper arranged for a boy to knock on the door.
Soon, the manager of the inn also came over.
The two inns have more than forty rooms in total.
Lu Fang took care of almost everything.
The two shopkeepers were a little worried at first, but when he took out two hundred-tael banknotes from his wallet, they felt relieved.
From the county government's business, ordinary people like them may not be able to receive money. But if you pay first, you won't have to worry about it.
After roughly deciding on the three meals, Lu Fang asked Han Feihong to lead the soldiers into two inns respectively.
I just feel sorry for the innkeeper, the chef and the waiters, who have to get food for them this late at night.
Lu Fang, Lu Liang and Lao Xiao were also eating at the Wanfu Inn, sharing the same table with Han Feihong.
The rest of the soldiers have not deliberately contacted them now.
During the banquet.
Han Feihong asked Lu Liang: "I wonder if County Magistrate Lu already has a general plan to suppress the bandits?"
Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang.
Now, Lu Fang is mostly involved in this matter.
He is still learning about the situation in the county government.
Lu Fang said: "There is no need to be in such a hurry. Let's first find out about the situation of the bandits! And we also plan to recruit more soldiers."
More than two thousand bandits!
Although the Chaling Army was a side soldier, and brothers like Han Feihong looked good, Lu Fang still had little confidence in his heart.
More importantly, Han Feihong also said that he saw no hope of suppressing the bandits and would not take action.
You have to make some achievements first to show him.
Han Feihong frowned slightly, "If that's the case, recruiting and training troops will take a lot of time, right?"
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "It all depends on your ability, General Han. Can you and your brothers help us train our troops first? Is that okay?"
Han Feihong thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem. We can't live and eat here for free."
At the counter.
The shopkeeper and the boy were all huddled there, not daring to express their anger. At this moment, their eyes were full of shock.
They were surprised to know that these soldiers were borrowed by the county master from the Chaling Army to suppress bandits. Unexpectedly, they actually planned to recruit troops in You County.
After dinner, Lu Fang, Lu Fang and Lao Xiao returned to the county government office.
Han Feihong lived in the inn with his brothers.
The night in Youxian County is quiet.
When Lu Fang returned to the room, Chen Youxi was still awake and the oil lamp was on in the room.
"You're back? How's it going?"
As soon as Lu Fang entered the door, she sat up from the bed and asked.
It was obvious that he had been worried about Lu Fang and couldn't sleep.
Lu Fang smiled and said: "I have borrowed the soldiers back!"
Being able to lend Han Feihong over was beyond his expectation, and of course it made him feel good.
If it were the other generals of the Chaling Army, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so cooperative.
"That's good."
Chen Youxi said.
"Um!"
Lu Fang nodded, "I'm going to take a bath right now, and then I'll rub my muscles and pulse with you, my wife."
Chen Youxi's pretty face turned red, "When did this happen? You just came back, aren't you tired?"
Lu Fangdao: "Martial arts practice is like sailing against the current, how can we slack off?"
"Pooh!"
Chen Youxi spat lightly, but obediently got into bed.
