It has been almost a month since the eradication of Heifeng Village, and the bandits in the entire territory have basically been surrounded and suppressed by Tang Zheng.

After exterminating the last cottage in Tuyuan, Tang Zheng let everyone rest for two days before coming to this cottage built at the junction of Tuyuan and Wuzhi.

"Childe, in front of you is the largest group of bandits in the mound and Wuzhong, there are more than 1,600 people, all of them are cavalry, and we have exterminated in the past, this group of people specializes in plundering large households and armies, and wandering throughout Youbeiping. They are well-armed, the horses are strong, and they are headed by a person nicknamed Flying on the Grass, the details are unknown, because they never rob civilians and often help them, so their reputation around them is not bad, Assassin Shi Guo Xun, Guo Yuanjun and Taishou Liu Wei, Liu Fujun also sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, but they were all defeated by this gang of bandits. Cheng Hu said to Tang Zheng.

"Well, I know, you go down first and let the brothers set up camp, let the brothers rest for a day today, and let Zhang Chao lead people to be vigilant." Tang Zheng instructed Cheng Hu.

"No." Cheng Hu turned around and went down to arrange the things that Tang Zheng explained. After Cheng Hu went out, Tang Zheng looked at Han Dang and said, "Brother Han, this gang of bandits is different from the bandits we have exterminated in the past, they have strict discipline and goals. It was all cavalry and fought several times with the officers and soldiers and defeated the officers and soldiers, and their combat power was no longer comparable to that of ordinary bandits, and I doubt that they were not bandits. ”

"What Brother Tang said is very true, but I don't know if my brother can make arrangements for tomorrow's battle? Why don't you let me lead the way. Han Dang also felt that this group of people was not simple, and took the initiative to ask to lead the troops to charge instead of Tang Zheng.

After this month's training of bandits, the purpose was basically achieved, except for the first time to encircle and suppress Heifeng Village, Cheng Hu led the team to charge, and Tang Zheng personally led people to charge every other time.

During this period, more than a dozen bandit dens, large and small, were exterminated, except for a few serious injuries for the first time, there were almost no major casualties in the back, and there were few minor injuries.

In addition to the cooperation that the soldiers are becoming more and more familiar with, the weapons and equipment provided by Tang Zheng also played a big role.

In this era of cold weapons, in addition to the physical fitness and bravery of the soldiers, the combat factors are weapons and equipment and logistics.

Tang Zheng didn't dare to say that his logistics were the best and most perfect, but the soldiers' diet was absolutely the best in the world, when everyone only ate two meals, Tang Zheng's soldiers had three meals a day, and there was also a meal of meat every other day.

The requirements of the soldiers are actually very simple, as long as they have enough to eat, since they can eat enough and meat now, the soldiers are also very brave when fighting.

"Not for the time being, I plan to visit Caoshang Fei in person tomorrow, since he did not harm the people but often helped the people, which shows that he still has great righteousness in his heart, and on this basis, they cannot be called bandits. For me, the biggest disaster in the world is the big squires and the like, who don't produce but lie on the people to suck blood. If such a big family does not kill all the people in the world, there will be no peace. As for the officers and soldiers, they don't have other skills, they don't oppress the good, but they are the best, this month's suppression of bandits, Brother Han also saw how many were forced by the government, since they can't eat enough and starve to death, it's better to rebel and fight hard, maybe there is a chance to live. Brother Han, if today's land annexation is seriously ploughable, the court has a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the squires are big and the people are prey, but the people can't make ends meet in a year. Brother Han, how can you say that the people don't rebel like this. Tang Zheng said to Han Dang with some indignation: "I am just a small county lieutenant, and it is the greatest ability to pacify the civil unrest in a county, and as for the affairs of the people, I have my own officials to worry about." ”

"Brother Tang is admirable in the world, when a rough person also knows how to worry about the worries of the world and the joy of the world after the world, if Brother Tang needs to do anything in the future, he can just give a command, and he should live up to the trust of Brother Tang Zheng." Han Dang said and bowed to Tang Zheng on one knee.

Tang Zheng was blindsided for a while, and he didn't know how to do it well, so Han Dang suddenly knelt down. After a while, I realized that this is the etiquette of recognizing the lord in ancient times, which means that from now on, Han Dang will be the main person Tang Zheng, of course, this is not the kind of relationship between the upper and lower respects, this is actually a master-slave relationship, that is, Han Dang will obey Tang Zheng's arrangement in the future, which sounds similar to the officials appointed by the imperial court, in fact, one is that I work for you and you pay your salary, and the other is that I hand over my life to you to arrange, only you are from.

This is actually the more popular family general in the Tang Dynasty, but now there is no word for family general. Tang Zheng hurriedly picked up Han Dang and said to him: "Brother Han, please get up quickly, what are you doing, aren't you tormenting the little brother?" ”

"The lord is talented, Han Dang admires. Han Dang didn't have any great ability, only brute force, and hoped that the lord would not dislike Han Dang's vulgarity and accept Han Dang. Han Dang said to Tang Zheng: "Dang is not a temporary idea, after this period of time, when he observed what the lord did and today's words, he made a decision. Please allow Han Dang to follow around. Han Dang decided that Tang Zheng was there, no matter how Tang Zheng persuaded him.

Tang Zheng couldn't say anything more, if Tang Zheng blindly refused again, maybe there would be a gap between Han Dang and Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng had no choice but to pause and say;

"The little brother is grateful to Brother Han, but the younger brother has not yet reached the crown and still looks at Brother Han Haihan, and Brother Han doesn't want to be called the princess of the princess, isn't this a torment for the little brother, in the future, Brother Han will still call the younger brother Tang Brother or Brother Zheng, I will still call you Brother Han." Han Dang didn't say anything anymore, but he resolutely didn't use his brother to call Tang Zheng, and it was useless to persuade Tang Zheng, so he had to call Tang Zheng his son like Cheng Hu.

"Since Childe is going to meet Grass Flying tomorrow, I don't know if Childe plans to take someone with him." Han Dangchao asked Tang Zheng.

"I plan to only take Zhang Chao and Brother Han with you, and Cheng Hu to stay in the camp. If we have any accidents, it is good for someone to respond, after all, the heart of harm is not available, and the heart of defense is indispensable, let alone in the troubled times when human life is like a mustard. Tang Zheng said.

"Now that Childe has made arrangements, I won't say anything more, just take me and Zhang Chao with less manpower, isn't there less manpower?" Han Dang asked with some confusion.

"I'm going to see the grass flying tomorrow to see if I can recruit them, after all, they also have close to 2,000 people, which is also a big force, although we are not weaker than them. It's useless to bring more people, but it looks a little weak, so it's better to bring you two like this, but it shows our sincerity and trust in them. Tang Zheng explained: "It's been busy for more than a month, Brother Han should go down and rest first." ”

"Childe, then I'll go down first, and if there is anything that needs to be done, give an order." After Han Dang finished speaking, he turned around and left Tang Zheng's tent.

What happened today made Tang Zheng not react yet, the whole person was fluttering, and Tang Zheng was still very excited about Han Dang's recognition of the master, this is the future General Sun Wu, and he is also a famous general who has left a name in the history books.

Thinking about Tang Zheng, he felt very excited, this is not like digging Sun Jian's corner, and one digging is still two.

Needless to say, Cheng Pu is his eldest brother, and Han Dang is now following him and worshipping himself as his lord.

Thinking that Sun Jian was dug two corners by himself, Tang Zheng felt excited, by the way, did he take the opportunity to recruit those famous generals before they became famous, Tang Zheng felt that it was feasible.

"Tell the general, there is a man named Tang Zheng outside with two entourages who want to see the general." A soldier walked into the camp of Flying on the Grass and reported to the Flying Grass.

"Tang Zheng? Who does he say he is? In my impression, I don't know a person named Tang Zheng. Grass Fei asked with some confusion.

Cao Shangfei, formerly known as Meng Yifan, was originally a bluff of Xi Yiya, when he was on the border, his wife was plagued by the squires in the township, and the whole family was destroyed, after he learned the news, he returned to his hometown with his loyal subordinates, destroyed the squire's whole family, and wiped out all the officers and soldiers who pursued him.

Then he led a large team of men and horses to fall into the grass and rob the rich and help the poor.

"Tell the general, he called himself the lieutenant of Tuyin County, and was ordered to go out to suppress the bandits, and I heard that the general led the troops in a good way and was disciplined, and he came to meet the general." The little soldier said as he flew up the grass.

"Oh, how disciplined is leading the troops? This county lieutenant has some interest, let them in. Flying on the grass commanded the creep.

Xiao Bing took the order and turned around and went out, after experiencing the incident of being destroyed, Cao Shangfei no longer had a good impression of the officers and soldiers, the reason why he decided to meet Tang Zheng was just that he simply felt that Tang Zheng was a little interesting.
