After hearing this, Cao County Lieutenant couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and looked at Xu Nianmin: "There are thousands of bandits in Erlang Mountain, but our army has only 500 people at full strength! If we really fight,
We have no chance of winning! Not to mention, there are people from Linshan Village watching with eager eyes! Sir, please think twice!"
This plan was actually discussed by Xu Nianmin and Master Song on the road. Therefore, Xu Nianmin waved his hand and said with great disdain: "No matter whether it is Erlang Mountain or Linshan Village, they are just a group of rabble. They can compete with us."
Compared with the regular army?"
"As the saying goes, 'Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while'!"
"No matter whether it's windy or rainy, or it's freezing or hot, our soldiers always need their salary of two cents a month!"
"Now that we have reached a critical moment, we must kill the enemy with all our heart!"
"If someone is afraid to retreat, or is unable to do his job! Then I will find out later and I will not be lenient!"
Cao County Lieutenant knew in his heart that although Xu Nianmin was talking about the soldiers, he was actually talking about himself!
Although he is ten thousand unwilling to start a war, since Xu Nianmin has already said this, he must express his attitude!
So, he bit the bullet and said: "Please rest assured, sir, once a war breaks out, I will personally hold the sword and serve as the superintendent! If anyone is afraid to retreat and fails to work, I will chop him down!"
Xu Nianmin smiled and praised: "Captain Cao, after listening to your words, I feel much more at ease! If all our soldiers in Daning were as brave as Captain Cao, would those foreign races still dare to invade our territory?!"
"Haha, my lord has given me a reward..."
Cao County Lieutenant's face turned red and he asked again: "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Let's arrange it so that everyone is ready to fight at any time! Then, just one word...wait!"
"Understood!"
Lieutenant Cao Xian clasped his fists with both hands!
...
At the same time, Li Gan, the commander of the Jiangsu Dusi Guards, came to Jiangling County with two hundred guards.
The county magistrate, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting outside the city gate!
"Jiangling County Prime Minister Yan Guangxing meets the commander!"
The county committee member knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
The county magistrate is only an eighth-grade civil servant, but the commander is a serious sixth-grade general. In terms of rank, the county magistrate is two grades behind the commander!
However, since the founding of the country, the Daning Dynasty has implemented a policy of using civility to control military force. Therefore, when the county magistrate sees the commander, he does not need to kneel down and worship, he only needs to cup his hands!
However, the county magistrate knew that this commander was here for Lord Zhetai. In addition, Xu Nianmin repeatedly told him that he must entertain this person well!
Therefore, the county magistrate ignored the ridicule of other civil servants when they found out and bowed down directly!
"Where's the county magistrate?"
However, Li Gan didn't even dismount his horse, and asked in a rather arrogant tone.
"Something happened over there in Linshan Village. Mr. Xu went to the front line to supervise the army! Before leaving, Mr. Xu specially told me to entertain the commander and the military lords! The food and wine have been prepared. Please invite the commander and the commander.
Dear military lords, please follow your humble duties and go to have a meal!"
The county magistrate got up from the ground and said with a smile.
"Lead the way to Linshan Village!"
Li Gan said loudly!
"Ah?! Go to Linshan Village now!?"
The county magistrate was very surprised!
"What?! Don't you understand?! Do you need me to repeat it again?!"
Li Gan shouted loudly!
"Commander, please calm down! It's just that it's getting late, and everyone has been working hard all the way! Why don't you order some food first, take a rest, and then..."
After receiving Xu Nianmin's order, the county magistrate naturally didn't want them to go to Linshan Village, so he tried his best to stop them!
However, before he finished speaking, Li Gan pulled out his sharp saber with a "swish" sound, then pointed the knife at him and said: "This is a military order! If you dare to disobey, I will kill you immediately!" This chapter has been completed!
