Lu Fang took Lao Xiao and Jiang Zimo and left directly.
After leaving the county government office.
Even Jiang Zimo showed disdain on his face and said: "Master Lu, this county magistrate is so damn comfortable. He even hangs himself in the county government office."
"hehe."
Lu Fang just chuckled.
If Lu Liang could really take the position of emperor in the future, he would have to advise Lu Liang to rectify the official system, depose these guys and punish them.
After leaving the north gate, eight hundred elite soldiers were resting and feeding their horses.
Lu Fang looked at the sky and saw that there was still some time before dark, and also thought that the camp road was not far from Ningyong County. He simply gathered the people together and continued to the camp road.
But when we arrived outside Yingdao City, it was completely dark.
Eight hundred elite soldiers marched forward holding torches, but the soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked.
He hurriedly closed the city gate, and then the bell rang on the top of the city.
As if facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Fang drove his horse close to the city, and several arrows shot out from the top of the city.
Fortunately, Lao Xiao was beside him, waving his hand to push away these arrows.
Otherwise, Lu Fang, whose cultivation was abolished, would probably meet the King of Hell.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted towards the top of the city: "What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"
And this shout naturally made the defenders on top of the city slightly stunned.
Then a helmeted head emerged from under the torch and asked: "Who is coming?"
Lu Fang shouted: "I was ordered by the envoy to come to Daozhou to suppress the bandits!"
The man at the top of the city asked again: "Do you have any proof?"
Lu Fang frowned slightly and handed the command arrow to Lao Xiao.
Lao Xiao raised his hand and swung the command arrow towards the top of the city.
What's going on?
There is so much "peace" in Yongning County, but how come I am so frightened when I get to this camp road?
moment.
The city gate was opened.
Several people hurriedly ran out of it.
When he came closer, he raised his hands to Lu Fang and others and said: "Xiaguan Daozhou City Guard Commander Zhuang Jianyi, may I ask who is the general who leads the army?"
"It's me."
Lu Fangdao.
Looking at the city guard commander in front of him, who was probably about forty years old, his face seemed to be still a little frightened.
He couldn't help but ask again: "What happened in this Yingdao City? Why are you so panicked?"
There has never been a large-scale rebellion in Jingnan County, which is obviously unreasonable.
Zhuang Jianyi raised his hands to Lu Fanggong again and said, "General, forgive me! It's true that we have suffered greatly from banditry these past two days and have to take precautions. Just now... we didn't hurt the general, right?"
It's okay that Lu Fang didn't listen to this, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but get angry and said: "If I hadn't had a master to protect me, I would have been killed by your arrows."
Zhuang Jianyi's face was filled with sarcasm.
However, Lu Fang didn't intend to argue with him too much.
After turning over and dismounting, he said: "Yingdao is the capital city of Daozhou, how can it be plagued by bandits?"
Even Xu Linzhi and the others did not attack Chenzhou City at the beginning.
What kind of bandit has such courage?
Zhuang Jianyi continued: "General, you don't know something. In the past few days, a group of extremely powerful gangsters suddenly appeared south of our camp road. In just a few days, they gathered in dozens of mountains in Daozhou.
There are more than a thousand bandits, and there are still bandits who are looking out for him. Now they are stationed in Panchang Mountain, which is only a few dozen miles away from our camp. I don’t know why he is crazy. In the past two days, he was
Suddenly, he led hundreds of people disguised as ordinary people and sneaked into our Yingdao City, and almost all the government offices were captured."
"Is there anything else?"
Lu Fang frowned.
Previously, he paid no attention to the three states of Chen, Heng and Dao.
Although the poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people, he definitely cannot gather large-scale bandits in a place like Daozhou.
After all, it is located in a remote area, the people are not wealthy, and there are few traveling merchants, so there is little money to be made.
To put it mildly, it is difficult for even bandits to make a living.
I never thought that there would be something different.
"Rest where you are!"
He turned around and shouted at the eight hundred elites, and then asked Zhuang Jianyi: "Do you know the background of the bandit leader?"
Zhuang Jianyi shook his head, "We haven't been able to investigate clearly yet."
Looking at the fear in his eyes, it was clear that he was frightened out of his wits.
Lu Fang asked again: "Then what cultivation level do you always know?"
Zhuang Jianyi was still not sure, but just said: "It should...should not be below the second level! The final general is so far away from him that it is hard to tell."
This made Lu Fang feel a little moved in his heart.
Such a master actually became a bandit?
Not to mention the second grade, even if it is the third grade, it is definitely a rare thing.
In the arena, this is already considered a top-level master.
Even if he is placed in those famous sects, he is still a backbone. If he joins the imperial court, he will be able to make a fortune as a general.
He really lost his confidence.
Can the eight hundred elites of my own defeat this group of bandits?
After a moment of silence, Lu Fang said: "How many troops do you have in the city guard?"
Zhuang Jianyi said: "Eight hundred."
But I don’t know what Lu Fang’s intention was.
Lu Fang sniffed and said: "Then go back and prepare dry food for two days. In addition, let Master Zhizhou prepare food and grass for half a month. Tomorrow, you will lead 600 people to follow me to Panchang Mountain to suppress the bandits. The remaining two hundred people will transport food and grass."
"
"ah?"
Zhuang Jianyi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lu Fang chuckled and said: "I came to suppress the bandits under the orders of the envoys. The defenders in each city are under restraint. Does Commander Zhuang have any objections?"
"Don't dare."
Zhuang Jianyi continued, but hesitantly, "But... if we all go with the general to suppress the bandits, and those bandits come to attack the city again, what should we do?"
But there was clearly still some fear in his eyes.
He probably suffered a loss at the hands of the bandit leader.
Lu Fang glanced at him, "When we wait for the army to approach, do you think he will still dare to divide his troops and come to sneak attack on the camp road? If so, then I will just destroy his Panchang Mountain."
Zhuang Jianyi had no choice but to hold up his hands and said: "Then I will go and report it to Lord Zhizhou."
He could tell that the young general in front of him didn't seem to care about the life and death of his Daozhou government office!
But it seems quite difficult. Let’s leave this problem to Lord Zhizhou and let him solve it by himself!
After Lu Fang nodded, Zhuang Jianyi hurriedly led the people and ran back into the city.
Old Xiao Youyou said to Lu Fang, "It is easy to suppress this bandit. I will go up the mountain and directly take the head of the bandit leader, and they will naturally fall into pieces and scatter."
Then he added: "However, if you have a second-grade cultivation level and the ability to lead an army, such a person is rare."
Of course Lu Fang understood the meaning behind his words.
Lao Xiao is starting to cherish his talents.
Too.
Now there is no one under Lu Liang who can take advantage of him.
Of course, Lao Xiao, Lao Deng, and Lao Xu are all great killers, but their identities are too sensitive and cannot be exposed openly.
