Seeing Guo Zhiyuan and their long procession, the eyes of several justices of the peace and the people were straight, this is not like a triumphant team, but like a team of beggars fleeing from the famine, including Guo Zhiyuan, everyone's clothes are in tatters, and many places are hung with strips of cloth, only the blood stains on their bodies can prove that they have indeed experienced a difficult bloody battle!

After seeing the heads in the hands of the captives behind Guo Zhiyuan, several justices of the peace and the people finally believed that Guo Zhiyuan had indeed won a big battle! No matter how bold Guo Zhiyuan is, it is impossible to kill so many people to take the risk, several justices of the peace and the people suddenly became excited, this is a great victory against bandits that has never been seen in the history of Gutian! At the same time, they also had a deep guilt for Guo Zhiyuan, they treated Guo Zhiyuan like that before, but Guo Zhiyuan still personally led the regiment to train the township soldiers to go deep into the tiger's den, risking their lives, winning a big victory, and returning triumphantly, where to find such a county order? !

Only Xu Guangqi chuckled in his heart, he naturally saw that the regimental training township soldiers who followed Guo Zhiyuan were not the regimental training township soldiers who were brought out before, could it be that although Guo Zhiyuan won this battle, he suffered heavy losses, and the regimental training township soldiers were almost wiped out? Especially the blood stains on Guo Zhiyuan's body made him tremble, he hurriedly walked up to meet him, and asked with a worried face: "Childe, are you injured?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan guessed Xu Guangqi's worries, patted his hands, lowered his voice and smiled: "Don't worry, sir, my injuries are fine, this battle was a complete victory, the regimental training township soldiers only lost a few people, and there is good news, we have made a fortune!" Zhang Cheng and the villagers are guarding it, and tomorrow I need Mr. to recruit more horses and people to bring them back......"

Xu Guangqi's eyes widened in surprise, and at this time, several justices of the peace also greeted him, and bowed with a smile on his face: "Lord Guo is both wise and brave, and personally led the regiment to train the township soldiers to go deep into the tiger's den, won a great victory, and returned triumphantly. ……”

Guo Zhiyuan also hurriedly returned the salute, and said loudly: "Gentlemen have praised it, this official is the commander of Gutian County, and it is the duty of this official to protect the territory and the people, this time he finally fulfilled his mission and defeated the bandit army ......", he pointed to the bandit heads held in the hands of the bandit captives, and said loudly: "This time, a total of more than 400 bandit heads were beheaded, and the official intends to hang these heads above the city gate to deter the bandits in the territory, and those who dare to harm the people of Gutian will not be spared!" …… This official believes that as long as the people of Gutian work together, they will be able to completely exterminate the bandits in the territory, let the people of Gutian live and work in peace and contentment, and return the people of Gutian to a prosperous future! ……”

Several justices of the peace and the people cheered in unison, several justices of the peace proposed to feast Guo Zhiyuan to celebrate his victory, Guo Zhiyuan resigned on the grounds that he wanted to treat the wounded soldiers of the regiment and the villagers, and there were many aftermath matters to deal with, and finally he left with the team under the reverent eyes of the people.

Guo Zhiyuan didn't notice that in a corner where no one was paying attention, Wang Demin and Bai Du stood side by side and witnessed all this, Wang Demin said a little angrily: "What kind of shit luck did this surnamed Guo take, with such a little person, he really defeated the Diamond Mountain Leopard!" …… I don't believe he's always been so lucky! We'll see, I'm not going to let him get complacent! ……”

Bai Du didn't speak silently, he found that he couldn't see through Guo Zhiyuan at all, saying that he was naïve, he was quite skillful, and he repeatedly resolved his own killing moves, saying that he was cunning, and he did not hesitate to risk his life, personally led the regiment to train the township soldiers to go deep into the tiger's den, and defeated the bandits, and more importantly, he felt that Guo Zhiyuan had changed a little after this battle, and he had a little more ruthless temperament, and he began to doubt for the first time whether it was wise for him to go against Guo Zhiyuan, could he deal with such a person?

Guo Zhiyuan took the bandit captives back to the barracks where the regiment trained the township soldiers, handed over the aftermath to Xu Guangqi, and went back to the county government mansion to fall asleep, not even caring about the wounds for Shen Lingyu to deal with, anyway, they were all flesh wounds, and they had already scabbed. After a night of bloody battles and walking such a long mountain road, his physical strength was already seriously overdrawn.

As soon as he slept until dawn, he got up and the official came to report, saying that several justices of the peace and squires had come to visit, and they had been waiting for a long time, although Guo Zhiyuan was a little impatient with such an entertainment, but he also had to cheer up to deal with it, and he still had a lot of places to rely on these local squires, so he hurriedly washed up, changed into official clothes and went to see the squires.

After this battle, the squires have completely agreed with Guo Zhiyuan, the county order, not only more enthusiastic attitude, but also took the initiative to express their willingness to contribute money and efforts to suppress the bandits, Guo Zhiyuan was of course very happy, and expressed great appreciation for the squire's righteous deeds, and all the squires were dismissed for the banquet invitations, and finally sent the enthusiastic squires away, and only then did Xu Guangqi summon him to ask how the aftermath was handled.

Knowing that Xu Guangqi had requisitioned more than 100 pack horses and more than 50 people by Sun Zhiyong and a few uninjured township soldiers to pick up Zhang Cheng and them, Guo Zhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked about the situation of the 200 or so bandit prisoners, and the 200 or so bandits were temporarily stationed in the military camp of the regiment training township soldiers. Only a few remaining uninjured township soldiers and a few county officials could only be arranged to set up temporary camps with them, so that they would not be agitated when they had something to do.

Guo Zhiyuan nodded, he already had a plan for the arrangement of the bandit captives, ready to let them form another army and train while tuntian, but all this can only be arranged when Zhang Cheng and them come back. For the dozens of poor women who had been harmed by bandits brought back by Chu Wan'er, Xu Guangqi didn't know how to arrange them, so he could only isolate them from the bandit captives first, and wait for their emotions to stabilize before making plans.

In the afternoon, Guo Zhiyuan went to visit the injured regimental training township soldiers, and Shen Lingyu, a famous doctor in the capital, was not in danger of life. In the evening, Zhang Cheng and the others finally returned, in order not to alarm too many people, they deliberately entered the city after dark, and Xu Guangqi arranged for someone to count the gold and silver property and seized materials, and register the warehousing matters.

Nothing was said all night. But early the next morning, Zhang Cheng hurriedly came to report, saying that Wang Demin took Lu Zhichao and a group of officials and officials who had gone home to recuperate before leaving their burdens to come to the county office, saying that they had recovered and wanted to come back to work on errands, and also asked Xu Guangqi to hand over the new money and grain account books and hand over the money and grain in the warehouse to him, and Lu Zhichao asked Zhang Cheng to hand over the command of the following team leaders, and to clear all the newly recruited officials, so that the original officials could come back and continue to work on errands!
