Lu Fang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "There are still big bandits in Changning County? How come Na He Zhizhou didn't mention it?"
There were more than two thousand bandits, and even he was frightened.
This battle is much bigger than Xu Linzhi and others in Rucheng.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Looking at each other with Lu Liang, the two brothers could not help but look solemn in their eyes.
Bandits of this scale are not something ordinary people can gather together. Compared with who the leader of this group of bandits is, and why He Shangming concealed the existence of this group of bandits, it is no longer important.
But Lu Fang can also roughly think of why He Shangming didn't mention the existence of this group of bandits in Changning County.
Because Si Fengling is bordering Yongzhou.
This is just a little trick played by officials like them.
As far as the two are concerned, this group of bandits can be counted within the territory of Hengzhou or Yongzhou.
But who wants to have more than 2,000 bandits on their territory?
If the blame is placed on the superiors, at the very least they will be held accountable for poor governance.
As for whether the governor of Yongzhou is willing to blame the bandits of Si Fengling on their Yongzhou government office, that is his business. At most, he can just argue about it when the time comes.
It's been pulled back and forth, even if the higher-ups hit the top ten, the consequences won't be that serious, right?
…
There was sudden silence in the tent.
Neither brother spoke.
It must be Zhang Zhi and his gang.
Only they can have such ability. It turns out that they are hiding in Sifeng Ridge.
After a while, Lu Fang said: "What are you going to do?"
Xu Linzhi and others had already sacrificed their lives for the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he knew that Zhang Zhihe and others had the same plan.
But why do you want to conquer it in your heart?
"Just ignore this windy ridge for now..."
Lu Liang sighed and said.
Xu Linzhi and others sacrificed their lives for justice, but he still feels guilty in his heart to this day.
Maybe it's true as the saying goes, those who are dead are freed. Those who are alive are still suffering.
It takes great courage to sacrifice one's life for righteousness.
And if they want to raise the blade to their companions, why don't they need great courage?
"kindness."
Lu Fang only nodded.
He knew that Lu Liang needed time to convince himself.
And he didn't want to express his opinion on this kind of thing. Because Lu Liang was the prince and had to bear far more than he had to bear.
Immediately, Lu Feng returned to his tent.
Continue copying books.
The plan to go to Daozhou was not intended to change anything.
The next day.
Eight hundred elite troops had already gathered at the school grounds before it was dark.
Everyone is in high spirits.
Especially the more than 700 people who followed Lu Fang to suppress the bandits.
I can follow Mr. Lu to suppress bandits again!
There is no fear, only excitement.
Some of them were even slightly injured, but when Zhang Zimo heard that Mr. Lu was going to lead them to suppress bandits again, he was stunned and said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.
This little injury is nothing, and it will definitely not delay killing the enemy.
Even the nearly 100 newly recruited people who came in were eager to give it a try.
I've been listening to those guys brag these past few days.
When Lu Fang showed up with Jiang Zimo and Lao Xiao, the Eight Hundred Knights couldn't help but hold their chests high. They wanted to show Lu Fang their most energetic state.
This made Lu Fang himself feel a little strange.
These guys have changed so much.
When he arrived at the front of the army, he got on his horse and said without saying much, "Let's go!"
Then he ran directly towards the outside of the military camp.
He was still thinking about the Si Fengling Bandits.
…
On this day, Lu Fang led 800 elite troops on a rapid march and arrived in Changning County.
This made the magistrate of Changning County and others extremely happy.
When he heard that Guiyang army cavalry was approaching the city, he quickly left the city to greet them.
I never expected that my letter had just been sent to the Anren County camp. The messenger would send troops here so quickly.
I have never seen such a vigorous and resolute person.
But then I saw Lu Fang leading eight hundred cavalry outside the city, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The magistrate of Changning County is an old man in his fifties with a short beard.
He looked at the army with his small eyes for a long time, and then he handed over to Zhang Zimo, "May I ask the general, who is the vanguard?"
He also said: "Kui Huachi, the magistrate of Changning County, has been waiting here for a long time."
Because Lu Fang only wore the armor of an ordinary soldier, he did not know Lu Fang's identity.
Zhang Zimo looked at Lu Fang and said, "This is the brother of Lu's envoy, and he will lead the army this time."
"Forgive me, forgive me."
After hearing this, Wei Huachi hurriedly handed over to Lu Fang, "I am old and blind, please forgive me, Mr. Lu."
There was something strange in his eyes.
I don’t know why Lu Zhaoping sent his brother here. Isn’t this child’s play?
He didn't know that it was Lu Fang in front of him who led the army to exterminate the six bandits.
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "Master Wei has never seen me before, so it's okay if he doesn't recognize me."
Wei Huachi laughed dryly and looked at him eagerly, "I wonder when the army under the command of the ambassador... will arrive?"
Lu Fang knew what Wei Huachi was thinking, and said, "Master Wei, I'm afraid I may have misunderstood. I didn't lead the army to suppress the bandits in Si Fengling. I just planned to pass through Changning County."
"Gah?"
Wei Huachi was stunned.
Lu Fang continued: "My brother plans to let me wipe out the bandits in Daozhou first. The bandits in Xifengling are very powerful, so we have to make careful plans."
When Wei Huachi and others heard this, their faces could not help but be filled with disappointment.
Although the Sifengling mountain bandits actually don't come out to rob much, the presence of such bandits in the territory really makes it difficult for them to sleep and eat well.
How can I make a bed with the tiger by my side?
But this was obviously of no use to Lu Fang.
As a result, Wei Huachi and others seemed to lose interest. After welcoming Lu Fang and others into the city, they only received them briefly and then went back.
Not even a place to live was arranged for Lu Fang.
Lu Fang didn't care. He originally planned to spend the night with eight hundred elites outside the county town. But Lao Xiao said: "We'd better find an inn in the county town!"
Lu Fang was slightly stunned, and then quickly understood what Lao Xiao meant.
Lao Xiao thinks Zhang Zhi and his people might come after hearing the news, right?
So Jiang Zimo and others were simply sent outside the city.
He and Lao Xiao found a random inn to stay in the city.
Indeed, since they entered the city, someone has been watching them.
Late that night, someone sneaked into their room quietly.
Lu Fang was woken up by Lao Xiao.
Opening your eyes, there was a graceful figure in the candlelight.
woman.
He rubbed his eyes and said, "Who are you?"
"Red Lady."
the woman said.
Lu Fang immediately became energetic and looked at the door.
Then he said: "It's really you on the Sifeng Ridge?"
Ye Hongluo nodded, with a somewhat cold look on his face, and said, "Since you clearly know it's us, why did you come in such a hurry? And you only led these troops?"
She only thought that Lu Fang came here for Zhang Zhi and their heads.
If that's the case, then...that Ninth Prince is too ruthless.
