Lao Xiao said: "If you have the courage, you might as well try his quality first. If you only have cultivation but no ability to lead an army, it will not be of much use."
Lu Fang nodded slightly, frowning in thought.
But in my heart, I was thinking that the art of war can still be learned, as long as the character is good.
He doesn't have Lao Xiao's vision. A second-grade master is already a top master, a high master, to him.
As for Lao Xiao and the others, they are all perverted characters who cannot be judged by common sense.
Not long after, Daozhou Zhizhou Xie Hui came in a hurry with Zhuang Jianyi and others.
After saluting Lu Fang, he asked: "General, do you plan to lead the army to suppress the bandits tomorrow?"
Then he said: "Isn't this a little too hasty?"
Lu Fang chuckled and said: "Lord Zhizhou, I have eight hundred elite troops. I have no food, grass, or baggage. If I don't hurry up and suppress the bandits, can I still stay in Yingdao City for a long time?"
Eight hundred people and eight hundred horses also require a lot of food and grass.
Xie Hui, who was about fifty years old, twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, feeling that he was offended by Lu Fang.
Daozhou is notoriously poor, and the bandits who entered the city two days ago robbed a lot of property in the city, so he was very worried!
After thinking about it, he just said: "Then can I follow the general to suppress the bandits?"
Lu Fang couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Zhizhou was only a civil servant, and Xie Hui didn't look like a martial arts practitioner. Why would he want to follow him to suppress bandits?
Then he reacted.
Are you afraid that you were frightened by the bandits who attacked the city two days ago, or are you worried that if you stay in the city, you will be attacked by bandits?
After all, he had just told Zhuang Jianyi that he would lead 600 city guards to suppress the bandits.
I just don’t know why Xie Hui is so frightened.
But he didn't think too much and nodded, "Okay."
Anyway, he himself can't go into battle to kill the enemy now, so it doesn't hurt to bring more Jie Hui.
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Xie Hui actually said thank you.
Then he looked at the elite troops behind Lu Fang and asked: "The general's troops and horses have not brought any food, grass or baggage. How are they planning to set up camp tonight?"
Although there is a city guard camp in the city of his camp, it is already full of those city guards living there.
If he had to arrange it, this would be a really troublesome thing.
Arrange to go to a restaurant?
It was heartbreaking for his government office to spend so much money.
But arrange to sleep on the street?
This will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among these Guiyang military cavalry.
Fortunately, Lu Fang's answer made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Fang said: "We will just spend the night outside the city."
That was his original plan.
"this……"
Xie Hui originally wanted to say something polite, but when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to hold back.
If you accept the task of settling them because of your polite words, it will be too much of a loss.
Seeing that Lu Fang had no intention of continuing the conversation, he raised his hands to Lu Fanggong and said, "Then let's meet the general again tomorrow."
Lu Fang nodded lightly.
That night, Lu Fang set an example and spent the night in the wilds of Yingdao City with his eight hundred cavalry.
In this era, there was not much urban development, and wild beasts attacking people or running into villages often happened.
Even outside the camp, you can still faintly hear the roar of wild beasts.
But Lu Fang was already used to it.
After running around like this, he was exhausted and just lay down on the grass. He looked at the night sky and fell asleep soon after.
He certainly didn't know that at this time, there was a graceful figure in Prince Rong's Mansion, leaning against the window and looking at the night sky.
She was wearing thin clothes, her lips were already a little white, and she was shivering from the cold night wind rushing in from the window.
He's trying.
She is also working hard.
…
The next day.
Lu Fang woke up on time at dawn.
Although his cultivation has been abolished, the seventh-level martial artist's body is still there. Even though the cold dew has passed and it is late autumn, the coolness of the night will not make him catch a cold.
And most of those elites have some cultivation skills.
Although most of them are ninth or eighth grade, they are not very popular, but there is an inner armor inside the iron armor, and there is a lining inside the inner armor, so even if you are not wrapped in a quilt, you will not feel too cold.
My exposed head, neck and hands are a bit cold.
After being woken up one by one, they ate dry food on the spot.
What about washing your face and brushing your teeth? When marching and fighting, even taking a bath is a luxury. How can you be so particular about it?
It was not until more than half an hour passed that Xie Hui and Zhuang Jianyi arrived belatedly with 600 city guards.
Only two hundred riders.
The rest are infantry.
Arriving in front of the army, seeing that Lu Fang's eight hundred elite troops were well prepared and majestic, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
However, Lu Fang had no intention of blaming them. After nodding in greeting, he only said to Zhuang Jianyi: "Commander Zhuang, please lead the way!"
"yes."
Zhuang Jianyi bowed his hand and led two hundred Qingqi under his command to the front to clear the way.
Lu Fang followed closely with eight hundred elite troops.
Jie Hui followed Lu Fang on horseback with a shy face.
The remaining four hundred city guard infantry followed at the end, trotting forward.
I felt a little bit resentful in my heart.
Most people sit on four legs, but they have to use their own two legs to travel.
Just like this, Lu Fang actually received some hatred points.
Because the infantry was moving slowly, it was already close to dusk when they arrived at the foot of Panchang Mountain, dozens of miles south of the camp road.
Lu Fang wanted to test the mind of the Changshan bandit leader, so he did not rush to lead his troops to kill him on the mountain.
He just asked Zhuang Jianyi to find some old hunters in the surrounding villages and ask about the situation on Wanchang Mountain.
The news he received surprised him.
An old hunter said that in this short period of time, the bandits on Panchang Mountain had built a decent mountain stronghold.
The gate of the village is high, but it can only accommodate five or six horses entering side by side.
Moreover, there are many arrow towers visible in the village.
He also said that when he went hunting in the mountains, he could occasionally hear shouts from inside the village, as if the bandits were practicing.
When he said these words, even the old Orion had a look of surprise in his eyes.
Bandits actually practice too?
This was something that even he had never heard of.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would probably sneer at it.
How can bandits be so diligent?
Lu Fang secretly calculated in his heart that the bandit leader actually let the mountain bandits under his command practice. It seemed that even if he was not familiar with military law, he should have some foundation.
How could an ordinary bandit have such a vision?
After most of them became bandit leaders, they only led the bandits under their command to rob, and then indulged in drinking and sex.
After asking how many roads there were on Panchang Mountain, Lu Fang sent away a few old hunters. Then, he just stood still.
He wanted to see how the bandit leader would respond.
However, what surprised him was that that night, he led the 1,400 people to rest at the foot of Panchang Mountain. There was no movement from the bandits on the mountain.
