Despite his high status in the Yunnan Army, in fact he was not a brave and skilled general.
Completing this mission probably won't result in much success, so the generals under his command are unwilling to contribute.
This is a completely thankless job. Who is willing to bite the bullet and do it?
Moreover, the bandits have a long history of taking root in the local area. Ye Feilong has always had a soft policy towards them, and he has never thought about chewing off these hard bones.
This is the landmine you laid for yourself!
Now it's okay, the capital city is talking about this matter. Even if he doesn't want to deal with these bandits, he still has to deal with it!
There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and their folk customs are quite fierce.
Once their troops go to the local area to suppress bandits, they may arouse resentment among the local people.
It is their duty to kill bandits, but if there is a conflict with a few local residents, it is impossible to kill all these people...
The bandits attacked very fiercely on their home ground, and even those in the barracks would find it particularly difficult to deal with them.
People who have reached high-level official positions are naturally unwilling to accept such a hot potato.
If you do this thankless job well, you won't receive much encouragement, but if you do it poorly, you will be punished.
There are only so many ways for the Yunnan Army to rise, and they also know that they are almost done. At such a critical moment, why not retire honestly?
If something goes wrong and I fail to complete the tasks assigned by King Ping Xi, I might be demoted instead...
But Zhou Xing is different!
Others stayed away from such a task, but he desperately wanted to participate.
"Brother Xiong, just tell General Hu, just leave this matter to me, Mr. Zhou!"
When Xiong Feiyu heard what the other party said, his expression changed again and again.
"Brother Zhou, why don't you understand what I mean? I've told you so much... This is a thankless job. If you want to take it, you have to be mentally prepared to fail!"
Xiong Feiyu had a good personal relationship with Zhou Xing, and he repeatedly warned Zhou Xing not to do this out of friendship.
If it were an ordinary person, he would just watch the other person jump into the fire pit without saying a word.
"You said that no one is willing to deal with it. This is a serious problem for King Pingxi! As a general under King Pingxi, I have to set an example accordingly!" Zhou Xing said with an upright face.
"well……"
Seeing the other party's appearance, what else could Xiong Feiyu say?
"Okay, then I will have a good discussion with General Hu. You can wait for my news."
"okay!"
After hearing what the other party said, Zhou Xing smiled in his heart, and he naturally knew that the matter was done.
………
"Hahaha! General Zhou Pian is indeed a rookie in the Yunnan Army. Our Yunnan Army needs fresh generals like this to appear continuously! You are worthy of being a young hero. I believe you will make great achievements in this mission!
"
If I heard that someone was coming to take over, I immediately felt very happy.
Moreover, the opponent is Zhou Xing, who is known as the number one master in Kunming City, and is now very popular among the Yunnan Army. This boy comes to help him complete his mission, at least the opponent is reliable.
Zhou Xing's initiative to ask for a fight also made Hu Guozhu feel particularly happy.
During the meeting of the Yunnan Army, he also praised the other party severely several times!
When his generals heard what their boss said, they also praised him.
"Young generals are nothing more than that. We must have such energetic young generals in the army!"
"I'm optimistic about this guy. He will definitely become a general of the Yunnan Army in the future!"
"That's right! A hero comes from a boy. I'm really looking forward to his performance in this mission!"
All the senior generals are talking nice words.
In fact, when this mission was first launched, no one wanted to take it because everyone knew it was not a good mission.
Fortunately, a stupid young man took the initiative to pick him up, which also helped them solve a problem. Now it is reasonable to say a few nice words to the other party...
This is how things are settled!
Zhou Xing took the lead in suppressing the bandits, and other generals assigned troops to his command.
Of course, these people were all under Hu Guozhu, and Zhou Xing did not mix people from different military camps together.
His behavior of taking the initiative to ask for a fight seems to many people to be trying to show off!
He is popular among many people, so maybe some people are secretly jealous of him...
People's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhou Xing is just constantly on guard.
After commanding the troops, he immediately set off towards the border!
The main barracks is the main barracks, and everyone's physical fitness is still very good.
After wandering all the way to the border, the overall momentum of the team was not affected at all.
In order to fight this battle well, Zhou Xing personally went to the tribes where the ethnic minorities live and took the initiative to build good relations with them. Moreover, he went to the meeting alone. If he brought many people in, it might cause panic in others.
His behavior really made the local ethnic minority residents realize that the Yunnan Army in front of them was not here to cause trouble for them.
The boss of the other party came to their tribe alone and did this. How can the other party express their trust?
The main reason is that Zhou Xingyi is a brave man. If it were any other general, he would definitely not be able to do such a bold thing!
Going to a minority tribe alone is not like entering the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?
However, during this process, Zhou Xing also discovered many advantages of the other party.
The local folk customs are simple and honest, and they are generally brave and good at fighting.
After getting to know their situation a little bit, Zhou Xing also learned a lot of other information. They also hated the local bandits. After all, they were often bullied by them and had to pay protection fees regularly, but they didn't dare to be angry.
Just speak up.
Now that they learned that the Yunnan Army had come to help them deal with the bandits, the ethnic minority tribes naturally cheered.
Zhou Xing struck while the iron was hot and sought help from the other party.
The opponent's firepower is not very strong, but they understand the local terrain.
You must know that during the battle, if you gain a terrain advantage, it can be regarded as a great advantage.
With a few people here who know the terrain they are in to take command, Zhou Xing's brothers can reduce some of the losses.
He is here to suppress bandits, not to kill his own people!
If you can avoid some losses, then try to avoid it.
The local ethnic minority tribes are extremely enthusiastic. They send a large number of tribal warriors to follow each other. As long as they can successfully suppress the bandits!
Zhou Xing is very skilled in the use of military tactics. He slowly lures the enemy out of the cave and then annihilates them in batches!
After several successes, the bandits also learned to be smart.
Some march in a complete group, and once they set off, a large number of bandits will set off together. Some are huddled in their dens and do not come out. No matter what happens outside, they just stand still.
Regarding such a situation, Zhou Xing began to feel a little tricky.
The bandits are extremely ferocious in the mountains and forests. They are like ferocious wolves, making it difficult to target. What's more, their weapons are short and sharp Miao knives. Once they engage in close combat with the Yunnan Army, such weapons will be easy to attack.
It works better in a mountain and forest environment!
Most of the soldiers of the Yunnan Army used long spears and knives.
This kind of weapon is very powerful when arrayed in the plains, but it cannot be deployed in the mountains and forests...
Fortunately, Zhou Xing was well prepared and asked everyone to switch to short blades. In such a complex environment, it was impossible to advance in formation.
After they set up their formation, it is estimated that the opponent will be defeated...
Just today, Zhou Xing plans to storm a bandit den.
It's not a good thing to keep delaying. The rear is waiting for their victory report, and he can't waste time here.
He knew that this place was a mountain forest, so he took advantage of the characteristics of the terrain and directly shot his bow and arrow in!
But at the tip of the bow and arrow, there is a burning flame!
"boom!"
After the flaming arrows were shot into the enemy camp, the bandit's nest was immediately set on fire! Their houses were originally built of wood, and using this flaming bow and arrow to break through was the simplest method!
Seeing their lair being burned down, the bandits were extremely angry!
Now the Yunnan Army has rushed to the door of the house, and it is too late even to put out the fire.
"Damn officers and soldiers! They actually committed such a heinous act! If you don't want us to live, then let's die together!" Bandits are bandits. When they are forced into a desperate situation, they don't know how to use strategies to solve problems.
The scalp and the government officials started to kill each other...
Zhou Xing took the lead in charging, holding a long sword in his hand and rushed directly into the enemy's formation.
"kill!"
He blew the bugle call to attack, the Yunnan army followed behind him, and everyone rushed in!
The quality of the soldiers in the main barracks is still very high, at least they are not comparable to those of these wandering soldiers.
Zhou Xing's murderous nature completely exploded. At this time, he must not retain his strength.
In the midst of thousands of troops, if you still think about holding back at this time, you are really seeking death!
Like a tiger descending from a mountain, he rushed into the enemy army and struck out with flying pieces of the long sword in his hand. Every blow would take away the life of a bandit soldier!
Not long after, there were corpses everywhere around his feet...
When many bandit soldiers saw this scene, their hearts froze. How could the other party's general be so ferocious?
"If you shoot the man, shoot the horse first; to capture the thief, capture the king first!"
Zhou Xing naturally understood such a simple truth. He quickly locked onto the bandit leader and immediately went to kill him!
One man fought his way out alive, and the accompanying Yunnan army was also clearing the way for General Zhou...
"Hold him off!"
The bandit leader was so scared that his soul was gone! But even if he let the bandits next to him attack quickly, those people would be eradicated like grass.
Zhou Xing jumped up, came to the bandit leader, and cut off the leader's head with one sword!
He held the opponent's bloody head in his backhand, raised it high, and then roared.
"The bandit leader is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Many bandits turned around and found that their bosses had been killed by the other party!
Everyone suddenly gave up the idea of continuing to fight. Many bandits immediately fell to their knees, protecting their heads with their hands, looking for a way out.
I saw many bandits kneeling down, and more and more bandits chose to surrender...
But at this moment, the Yunnan Army took action in a unified manner and attacked the unarmed bandits!
They had unified their strategy before they came. No matter what, they couldn't survive. These bandits deserved to die!
In the blink of an eye, countless heads fell to the ground, and the scene in front of them seemed to have turned into a Shura hell!
In less than a stick of incense, the bandit den here was completely wiped out.
"Search for supplies and return to the city!"
Zhou Xing shouted from a high place.
The officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army were naturally smiling. Today's battle went so smoothly, and there was still a large amount of gold and silver treasures to be taken.
The other party has been here for hundreds of years, and they are bandits who don't follow any rules. They burn, kill, and loot without committing any evil. There must be a lot of good things inside!
Zhou Xing just watched this scene quietly, this was just his first step to suppress the bandits...
The first battle was successful, and the news quickly spread back to Kunming City.
Hu Guozhu was naturally very happy. He did not expect Zhou Xing to be so vigorous this week and win a complete victory in the first battle!
"This week, he has been very aggressive. Let him go to suppress the bandits. It's really the right thing to do!" Hu Guozhu said excitedly to his general.
All the generals were also smiling now.
The other party helped them get off to a good start without doing anything, which was pretty good.
Of course, they will also keep Zhou Xing's achievements in mind.
After all, the prince is very optimistic about this person, and it would be the right thing to make friends with him...
Now many senior officials within the Yunnan Army want to establish relationships with Zhou Xing, because after this battle, the other party will become a symbol of the younger generation of the entire Yunnan Army!
They will eventually grow old, and it is also a good thing to have better friendships with the outstanding generals of the younger generation.
…
After a battle, not many brothers were lost. Zhou Xing took a look and found that the casualty report was still within his acceptance range.
With less than fifty casualties, a bandit den was wiped out. This was truly a great victory!
Zhou Xing also sent people to count the corresponding gold and silver treasures. After they took one-third and divided them up, they handed over the remaining two-thirds directly to King Pingxi.
Zhou Xing knew that money was something external to the body. If he could make the prince happy through this money, that would be the most important thing!
He is not short of this amount of money either...
All the soldiers cheered for a great victory, and also received a lot of silver coins.
What could be happier than this?
After completing the battle in front of him, Zhou Xing took a short rest and led his soldiers to wipe out another bandit den, and the methods used to suppress the bandits were exactly the same.
In less than half a month, they won two games in a row!
The gold and silver treasures sent back to Kunming City also came into Ye Feilong's hands, and he was extremely happy. He did not expect Zhou Xing to be so brave and good at fighting, and that the other party was very loyal to him.
"You can't be someone who has served in the Yunnan Army for three generations. Such a character is really commendable!" Ye Feilong now highly recognizes Zhou Xing in his heart!
While Zhou Xing and his team were completely victorious, the other fraternal units of the Yunnan Army suffered heavy losses...
"General Zhou! It's not good!"
A soldier hurriedly broke into Zhou Xing's tent. He was sitting cross-legged and practicing. Hearing the sound of chirping next to him, he frowned and opened his eyes, and then looked at the soldier in front of him word by word.
