At the beginning of July of the seventh year of orthodoxy, after two months of strict training, the escort unit can already be said to have "graduated." Not only in terms of ranks, but also in terms of battle formations, it can be called "elite."

At the same time, the money and grain seized from the Yushan bandit village have basically been exhausted, and the little money and food left can only last for a few more days.

In this regard, Guo Yongzhong and Tang Yu were anxious, and Liu Juntao also began to prepare to solve the "financial crisis".

On this day, Liu Juntao found Yan Hu and asked him to take a few brothers to find out what other bandits were around Yushanji.

Yan Hu smiled and said, "I understand, big brother, do you want to get some more seizures?" Do you still need to go out and find out? I have lived in Yushanji for more than ten years, and I know by heart how many bandits there are around the village. ”

Liu Juntao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Yan Hu said: "To say that there are no less than a dozen bandits around our Yushan set, when a gang from all over the town was entrenched in Yushan in the past, these bandits were too small, and they could only hide far away, and they did not dare to go to the area around Yushan. However, now that the town has been wiped out by us, I guess these bandits have all flown back. Not to mention, within 50 miles of the east and west sides of our Yushan set, there are six or seven bandits robbing and robbing! ”

"Good!"

Liu Juntao said excitedly: "In this way, then our Yushan Collective Guard will ask for the life of the people, collect these miscellaneous pieces, and just seize some money and food to confiscate!" ”

After making up his mind, Liu Juntao began to take action, asking Yan Hu and Zhang Xiaojun to mobilize all the escort teams and prepare to take the initiative to attack and suppress the surrounding bandits.

However, this time after all, he took the initiative to attack, and he may have to fight far away from Yushanji, Liu Juntao also added a little caution, and was ready to pull the escort team to the Yushan area to train before attacking. While testing the results of the training in the past few months, it also allowed the young people to adapt to long-distance marching and field camping in advance.

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao brought all the remaining grain with him from the previous capture, and then ordered the entire escort to set off for the march drill in the area of Yushan.

Watching a team of young people with high morale open the Yushan set, Liu Juntao's heart was also full of pride.

You must know that just a few months ago, these 100 or so young men were all croppers who were digging in the soil, but under their own training, in a short period of time, these 100 or so young men not only exterminated the old bandits who had been entrenched in Yushan for more than ten years, but also reborn and beaten into an elite army!

Although these young men are still a little immature now, especially the killing spirit of the young men is slightly insufficient, Liu Juntao firmly believes that when the bandits return, the Yushan Guards will definitely be strong and murderous, and become a real elite soldier in a hundred battles!

Just thinking about it, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu had already led a sentry out of the village, and a sentry under Liu Juntao's command was also lining up out of the village.

Liu Juntao looked back and found that Guo Muying walked over with his head down. is different from the past, today's Guo Muying is a little strange, the cheerfulness of the past is gone, but the whole person is a little twisted.

Liu Juntao immediately understood, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that I want something good to happen soon?" ”

"Brother Juntao, I saw that you have been practicing hard in the past few days, so I prepared a sweat towel for you."

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Juntao to speak, Guo Muying stuffed a sweat towel with lotus flowers to Liu Juntao, turned around and ran away.

Liu Juntao stood in place stunned, his heart was also hot, and he was full of expectations for the future.

So, Liu Juntao carefully folded the sweat towel in his hand and put it away, turned around and drove out of the village.

After Liu Juntao quickly caught up with the team and walked away, Tang Yu walked out from the side, sighed slightly, and turned around and returned to Guo's house.

"What? It's true? ”

Looking at Guo Yongzhong, who was a little surprised, Tang Yu nodded and said, "It's the real master." ”

"Hmm!"

Guo Yongzhong pondered for a while and said, "You keep an eye on Miss, don't worry about the rest of the things, don't make a noise about this matter, take a look first." ”

Tang Yu thought for a while and said: "Master, then Liu Juntao is also a young talent, at least the young people in the village are not as good as him, besides, Liu Juntao is alone, even if he marries a young lady, even if he joins my Guo family, it is a good destination for young lady to marry, why is the master so hesitant?" ”

"Alas! Don't you see what Liu Juntao did? Where is a person who keeps to himself, I am afraid that in the future, he will do something out of the ordinary, which will affect our Guo family, and my daughter's lifelong happiness will be ruined! ”

Tang Yu shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Master, now that the guards of our Yushanji have been prepared, our Yushanji and Liu Juntao are already leeches on the same rope, besides, we and Liu Juntao did it together to exterminate the Yushan bandits before, so what else do we have to share with each other?" If something really happens to Liu Juntao in the future, who can get rid of the old and young of our Yushan Collection? It's too late to think about it now! ”

Hearing this, Guo Yongzhong completely fell into contemplation and was silent for a long time.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Juntao had already led the escort into the endless reeds.

Between the marches, Liu Juntao led a sentry to lead the way, Zhang Xiaojun was on the left, Yan Hu was on the right, and the three sentry men and horses were marching in a zigzag shape, advancing rapidly in the reeds.

Moreover, under Liu Juntao's arrangement, the formation of each sentry is a formation of sword and shield men and pikemen inside, in case of attack.

After marching like this for half a day, the strict training of the escort team for several months paid off, and one hundred and twenty-six young men moved quickly, and no one was left behind, although due to the inconvenience of the reeds and the terrain, the formation of the people was a little scattered, but it was still the whole without losing it, which can be called rigorous.

In the evening of that day, the escort arrived at the ruins of the Yushan bandit village, which can be called a god speed!

Liu Juntao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said loudly: "Let's spend the night here today!" Zhang Xiaojun took people around to take a look. Tonight, the three sentinel brothers took turns to be on duty, each sentry was on duty for an hour, my sentry came first, then Zhang Xiaojun came first, and finally Yan Hu sentry! ”

"Order!"

More than 100 people answered in unison, and then everyone entered the ruins, some young men with cooking utensils began to build pots and cook, and the rest of the young men either collected firewood or rested on the spot, and after everyone relaxed, they recovered their young minds and began to laugh.

Zhang Xiaojun, on the other hand, led his more than forty young men to scatter around, checked the range of 200 steps around the ruins, and returned to the ruins to rest without seeing any abnormal conditions.

Late at night, all the young men who had eaten dinner fell asleep, only Liu Juntao and more than 40 young men under his command were still on guard, scattered around the ruins to patrol and guard, setting off the entire ruins into a simple military camp.

The cool breeze in the fish mountain is very comfortable at night.

However, Liu Juntao's heart was a little irritable: after returning from this training, he had to go out to suppress the bandits immediately, otherwise he and these brothers would only have to drink the northwest wind. Not only that, but once the escort team is dispersed, his efforts in the past few months will be in vain! This pressure accumulated in Liu Juntao's heart, making him feel a little depressed.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Juntao remembered the Qianying who ran away from him when he was about to leave, and the pressure in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, and a warm current surged in his heart, which made Liu Juntao excited.

"The beauty is like this, I have to work harder!"

Nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao and the others finished eating the last bit of dry food, and then prepared to go down the mountain and return to Yushanji. The next day, we will set off for the mountains east of Yushanji to suppress the bandits.

"I hope these brothers of mine can come home safely!"

After packing up his mood, Liu Juntao led the team down the mountain.

However, Liu Juntao did not plan to go back along the road he came, but chose to go down the mountain from the eastern foot of Yushan Mountain, detour east for a while, and then go back. In this way, everyone will walk more than ten miles, not only to test the extreme ability of the escort to march, but also to exercise the ability of everyone to endure hunger.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Juntao had already discussed with Guo Yongzhong before leaving, and in the few days before the bandits returned, the support of the escort team would be supported by the village, and the bandits would be compensated with the seizures until they returned. In this way, Liu Juntao can ensure that when everyone returns to the village hungry, they can eat a hot meal in time.

"Let's go! Homecoming! ”

Liu Juntao roared, took the lead in carrying the long knife and walked at the front of the team, and more than 120 people rushed out behind him, following Liu Juntao towards the bottom of the mountain.

At the same time, ten miles east of Yushanji, a team of more than 40 people was hurrying on the official road.

I saw that this team of men and horses was extremely strong, not only everyone was short and strong, but also had a waist knife and an iron ruler, and six of them were riding on a tall horse, looking very fierce.

"How far do you get to the reeds?" The first man sat on his horse and asked in a deep voice.

Another man on horseback next to him replied: "If you go back to the boss, if you hurry up, it is estimated that you will be able to arrive in about two days at most." ”

"Hmmm! Is there a village ahead? ”

"Yes! There is a village in front of it, called Yushanji. ”

"Let's go! Today at noon, we will rest in Yushanji. ”

After speaking, the leading man sandwiched the horse's belly with his feet, and then ran up, and the other five people hurriedly rode their horses to keep up, and then more than 40 people ran around, although the team was not as strict as the Yushan Guard, but it was very rare to be able to follow the horses all the way down without being scattered!

After more than half an hour, Tang Yu found some strong women in the village to prepare a meal, ready to wait for the escort team to come back. After getting ready, Tang Yu was about to go back to Guo's house to rest for a while, when he suddenly saw a burst of dust rising on the official road to the east of the village, and a group of people were rapidly approaching the village.

"It's so early to come back!"

Tang Yu thought in his heart, and there was still no pause under his feet.

Suddenly, Tang Yu remembered something, looked towards the south, and then turned his head to look at the people and horses rushing to the east, and was stunned for a moment.
