After another month, Ishihara Town gradually returned to calm, and the bandits were wiped out, except for those who chose to surrender, almost all of them were cleared.

And Mu Youchen, Xuan Jiayin and others also decided to continue to move their troops south, leaving only a small group of troops in Shiyuan Town and Heifeng Village to defend them, plus the town soldiers built up again in Ishihara Town, which was enough to deal with the general situation.

Before Mu Youchen and others arrived, Du Xiongfei and Xuan Jiayin designed to take the last small city defended by the Southern Chu State, and in just a few days, Mu Youchen and others grew from a local army with little foundation to a small warlord with three cities.

"How's it going?"

The city that Mu Youchen came to was the largest and strongest of the recaptured cities, called Seven Star City. In addition to the three thousand Southern Chu troops in the city, the rest are authentic southern people, for the arrival of Mu Youchen and others, the residents of the city are very welcome, almost the old and young women and children welcome them,

"Very optimistic, after we occupied these three cities, we further cleared the surrounding area, and now there is no trace of the Southern Chu army within a radius of 100 miles, but there must be soldiers from the Southern Chu State who fled, I believe that the Southern Chu State will soon react to this."

Du Xiongfei replied, and the two walked side by side in front. The surrounding people kept handing over all kinds of food, but they were all rejected by the two of them one by one.

"We're here to fight, don't worry. My fear now is that we don't have enough generals to do it on our own, we have too few people to use, and we'll get more and more cities in the future. ”

Mu Youchen said lightly, the population in the south is very large, the city is also very hungry, and the materials are abundant. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Xun family to be invincible with the Southern Chu State for many years by virtue of its small southern border.

Although Mu Youchen and the others only now have three cities of insignificant strategic significance, Mu Youchen knows that they will capture more and more cities in the future until they drive out all the invaders of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Similarly, to occupy such a number of cities, it is necessary to have relatively capable generals to defend them.

It can be seen from the attitude of the Southern Chu State towards the cities they are occupying now that these three inconsequential cities are enough to defend as long as the average mediocre general with a few thousand troops is enough, even if there are more people in the city, they will not resist.

"We will hurry up the selection of talented young generals, but we should be able to cope with the current situation. You, together with His Royal Highness King Cheng and Lord Xun, are enough to guard the city you have now. ”

Du Xiongfei nodded and said, the current situation is quite optimistic, they have enough time to prepare everything.

"No, I want to give you one of the cities."

Mu Youchen turned his head and said something that made Du Xiongfei extremely surprised, and when Mu Youchen walked to the front, Du Xiongfei reacted and hurriedly followed.

"Miss, this ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. ”

Du Xiongfei immediately chased after him, and then said with a complicated mood. Why did Mu Youchen say this, is he testing himself?

"No, I think that's fine. Xiongfei, you have a steady personality and are far-sighted. I'm relieved to hand over one of these castles to you. The other city was handed over to Lang Yu, and as for me and Jiayin, the two of us stayed in Seven Star City. He won't have any opinions. ”

Mu Youchen has his own plans, and the three cities obviously need three capable people to defend them.

Hyun Jiayin has already highlighted the role he can play in the war in the constant battle, a vanguard general who charges into battle.

However, Mu Youchen knew that if Xuan Jiayin was with him, His Royal Highness King Cheng would be very happy.

"Since Miss is so trusted, Xiongfei will definitely not live up to Miss's commission."

Du Xiongfei took a deep breath and said, and then glanced at Mu Youchen deeply, although they have been together for nearly a month, but the two sides have not yet developed an old and terrible relationship of trust, but from this matter, Mu Youchen has begun to fully believe in himself.

"The city you are going to has a population of more than 100,000 people, I believe you can recruit more soldiers from it and build them into an iron army, I have smelled the smell of war, let's solve all this."

Mu Youchen nodded, and then walked into a mansion in Seven Star City, which was the place where the general of the Southern Chu State lived when he was guarding the Seven Star City, and it was also a good command location.

Du Xiongfei looked at Mu Youchen's back, and once again marveled in his heart, and a trace of doubt also rose in his heart again, is this little girl really only the age she looks like?

The speculation in his heart kept making Du Xiongfei contact in that direction, but Du Xiongfei knew that association alone was not enough to prove the guess in his heart. But how to confirm the guess in my heart is still a problem, and I can't ask Mu Youchen directly?

After thinking for a while, there was no way to confirm it for the time being, so Du Xiongfei had no choice but to follow Mu Youchen's footsteps and walk into the mansion......
