In the next few days, more than 20,000 Chinese troops were not idle, each performing their own duties, and they were busy in full swing.

King Qin's style of not raising idlers is carried forward to the fullest, it may be that he spent some time with the Eight Great Kings, leaving a shadow in his heart, and Qin Yu is the person who can't eat idle food the most.

Cadet soldiers and infantry are trained every day.

The female soldiers and the guards practiced equestrianism every day.

The rear battalion is responsible for sewing military uniforms and leggings, preparing food, killing cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs every day, and there is no idea of saving up for food.

The busiest was the sapper battalion, where 200 blacksmiths worked day and night to forge muskets, short swords, sabers, etc.

Other craftsmen also had to make cotton armor bows and arrows, weave helmets and shields with rattan, and the captured rotten cotton armor and broken quilts were all dismantled and pounded and then made into new cotton armor.

The three war battalions were not idle, and were sent by Qin Yu to the mountain col to the east to repair fortifications.

And he himself was busy with a bunch of logistics chores during the day, and at night he told stories to the boys of the firearms battalion and the boys of the guard battalion.

It is all about how Lao Zhu and Lao Liu started from scratch, won the world step by step, and finally the cattle herding babies and butchers around them, all of them were named wives and shadows, and the stories of the princes and princes for thousands of years.

As for the two of them killing heroes, they didn't mention a word, all they talked about was positive energy, how their subordinates killed the enemy bravely, and how loyal they were.

Under Qin Yu's painting and color, true and false, the young men listened to it with relish.

After training hard every day, I look forward to listening to the king's stories in the evening, and the living examples are placed there, and I unconsciously have a little spiritual support.

Gradually, there was a trace of the idea that in the future, like those people, he would follow the king to fight the world, worship the marquis, and seal his wife and son.

As for the people near the county seat, they had already taken refuge in the mountains when the guards came.

Young strong soldiers, Qin Yu doesn't plan to recruit any more in a short period of time, he is not Han Xin, as far as these people are concerned, he can't control them.

The rabble has too many tricks, they don't train well, and when they start a war, they all get out of the way, which not only affects morale, but also wastes food.

Therefore, at this stage, only 14 to 17-year-old teenagers are enrolled, and every day people will carry grain, carry silver, and beat gongs and drums to go around the villages and villages in the mountains.

All the young people who joined were given ten catties of fine grain, twenty catties of coarse grain, and ten taels of silver for settling-in allowance.

The people in the mountains have a very hard time, and some families with many children can't resist this temptation at all, so the eldest and second child secretly join in, and there are many people who come back in exchange for food.

After all, the boy is sold to a large family to be a house slave, and he can't sell it at this price, as for whether it is a rebellion, people are about to starve to death, who can care about this?

If you change your name, you will be starved to death, as long as the people in the village don't report it, who will recognize it? Who knows?

When someone takes the lead, the situation is out of control, as long as there are a few brothers in the family, and the age is right, almost all of them will choose one to join the family, exchange food and silver to come back to make the family live a better life.

In a short period of time, more than 2,000 young men were recruited, and only a small amount of food and a bunch of useless gold and silver were spent, which made Qin Yu feel that it was much better to develop in this way than to coerce a large family.

And every teenager has to sign a contract with him.

The five commanders of the firearms battalion were naturally so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and those teenagers quickly integrated into the group when they saw that their companions and leaders were about the same age as them, and they were able to eat enough every day.

But the good times didn't last long.

After Xiong Wencan arrived in Fang County, Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming also had to march, and finally let Liu Guoneng take the lead, Qin Ming was in the center, and Zuo Dashuai was behind, and more than 20,000 troops came in a mighty way.

Although there was a lesson from the governor of Yunyang, Xiong Wencan still gritted his teeth and chose to follow the army in order to supervise the battle from time to time.

Qin Yu has been paying close attention to Fang County's every move, and the army over there dispatched in the morning and received the news in the evening.

The secret path should have come or come.

In fact, he really wanted to discuss with the other party to see if he could spend some money and avoid war for three or four months?

But I also know that this is a joke, and the other party has not come until today, and he has already burned high incense.

After so many victories in a row, the morale of the troops is very high, and when I heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, except for the teenager who had just joined, everyone else was what to do, and what were they still doing!

Of course, this also has a lot to do with King Qin's propaganda, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, but he said that they were thousands, which was depicted worse than the guards.

Anyway, those big guys can't count, and the other party's army can't spread out in the mountains, how much he says, isn't it how much?

Three days later, Liu Guoneng arrived at the bottom of the mountain col with his men and horses, and Qin Yu didn't think about attacking his ambush.

This guy has been an old thief for many years, and he is like a ghost, and if he wants to ambush him, I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky.

At dusk, Qin Ming arrived with a large army, and it was not until noon the next day that Zuo Dashuai was late.

This mountain col is called Liujiaao, located between two mountains, and although the valley below is still quite open, it is far from being able to accommodate 20,000 troops to set up camp.

Therefore, the men and horses of the three people, camp tent after camp tent, lined up from the col to more than 30 miles away.

Even Xiong Wencan, who had never fought before, knew that he had suffered too much when he saw this situation.

"Liu Shoubei, if you want to go to Zhushan, you can only go over the mountain col in front of you, is this road feasible?"

"Back to the overseer, there are still a few trails, but they are all rugged and steep, and the thieves have already sent people to garrison them, so it is not as good as this mountain pass." Liu Guoneng replied respectfully.

"Waste, the military attache of Yunyang is really a group of rice buckets, this kind of location, more than 20,000 people, I really don't know how they let the thieves break into Zhushan County in the first place!"

Xiong Wencan couldn't help but scold, and then frowned and looked at Zuo Liangyu and Qin Ming.

"Both of them are rare famous generals in my Ming Dynasty, who is willing to take the lead tomorrow?"

"The superintendent has won the award, and the last general will not dare to be ashamed."

Both of them replied with their fists clenched, but neither of them said anything to take the lead.

In that kind of terrain, the other party obviously waited solemnly for a long time, coupled with the cunning of the thief leader Xiao Huawang, if he wanted to fight down, he would definitely be seriously injured, so neither of them was willing to take the lead and let the other person take advantage of it for nothing.

After the last ambush incident, Zuo Liangyu no longer dared to underestimate this gang of thieves.

After going back, he pondered and pondered carefully, which made him very suspicious, whether the other party's defeat at the mouth of the Sancha River was deliberately deceitful, in order to make him underestimate the enemy?

If it is really what he guessed, the bandit leader Xiao Huawang is by no means a simple person, and in that big defeat, even he, a veteran of the battlefield, can't see the slightest flaw, which shows how careful the other party is.

The key is that the other party is ruthless enough, and he is willing to use more than a thousand elite thieves as bait, this kind of character is even more difficult to deal with than the eight kings and Cao Cao.

"Humph! Don't think that the governor can't do anything about you, now the governor of Yunyang has been martyred, if you don't recover Zhushan in time and exterminate this group of thieves, when the news is transmitted back to Beijing, the governor can't run away, you don't think about it, Zuo Zongbing, I heard that your official seal has been lost, but is there such a thing? ”

Xiong Wencan snorted coldly, and now he was so anxious that he was about to scratch his ears and cheeks, so he simply put the stakes on the bright side.

The two of them were suddenly shocked, they only knew that Yunyang's official army was defeated, but they didn't know that the governor was killed in battle.

If this reaches His Majesty, then it will be worth it?

A civilian official was killed in Zhushan, but the two of them remained in Fang County.

It is conceivable that Dai Dongmin's classmates and friends will definitely not give up and will definitely impeach them madly.

At this time, the two of them also understood why Xiong Wencan was in such a hurry.

The more this is the case, the more Zuo Liangyu dare not admit it, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "There is no such thing, the official seal of the last general has always been on his body, how can he lose it?" ”

"That's good, tomorrow the left general soldier will take the lead first, and strive to exterminate that gang of thieves as soon as possible and regain the horses and blades lost last time."

Xiong Wencan's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand.

The heart said that since I didn't lose it, why didn't the official document I gave me be stamped with the big seal of the chief military officer?

"Yes!"

Zuo Liangyu replied stubbornly, knowing that he couldn't push it back, and if he pushed Xiong Wencan again, he would definitely have to see his official seal.
