Taishan County, under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, under the jurisdiction of 12 counties, because it is located in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou junction, and adjacent to Taihang Mountain, resulting in bandits rampant, many years of bandit experience make Sanzhou is a headache, suppress and exterminate, people to the mountains to hide there is no break, and then from time to time come out to harass it, make everyone have a headache, so simply don't care.

When the people saw that this government was not used, they had to protect their own property, and over time they formed a fierce temperament. And the people here also can't go on and fall into the grass, plus the original indigenous bandits who were rampant in the eastern section of Taihang and the bandits who wandered from other places, it can be said that Taishan County is not much different from the bandits' nest.

Wang Hai also passed by Taishan County in the process of fleeing, the situation of Taishan County is still relatively clear, he doesn't understand why his eldest brother would donate such a thankless official as Taishan County, although it sounds like a county guard is very good, but the last six or seven county guards in Taishan County have not stayed for half a year, either died tragically or found a way to transfer, from the last county guard to the present has been almost a year no one has taken office, and now his eldest brother actually went to donate such an official, I heard that it cost more than 1,000 gold, The eldest brother is usually shrewd, why is he stupid this time? Wang Hai muttered in his heart.

Su Xiu saw Wang Hai who was following him with a blank face, and naturally understood what Wang Hai was thinking, but now was not the time to explain to Wang Hai. This kid is actually quite smart, since he began to teach Wang Hai's knife skills, this kid will find a place to practice knives alone as long as he has free time, and now he has begun to look good, although he doesn't have any unique skills to teach him, but Wang Hai is not ambitious, and he is practicing basic knife skills every day. For more than two months, he had to hurry, but Wang Hai had to practice from a kid who didn't know anything to the realm of foundation building, relying not on Su Xiu's guidance, but on his own study. Su Xiu believed that in the near future, this kid would be a helper who could help him, and at that time, he would naturally understand the reason why he chose Taishan County now.

"Xiaohai, I'll be able to see you Brother Wen Ze in a few days, why do you see you listless all the way?"

"Huh?" Wang Hai didn't talk much, mainly because he felt that Su Xiu was stupid this time, but he firmly believed that Su Xiu did this for a reason, but he still didn't figure it out in the past half a month, and he had been pondering Su Xiu's thoughts in his heart, not wanting Su Xiu to suddenly mention Yu Ban, so he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing." Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Yu for more than three months, I don't know if Brother Yu's affairs have been completed? ”

"When the time comes, you will ask him yourself, won't it be done? Let's rest for a while, let me see your sword skills, your foundation is basically there now, what is lacking is actual combat, there is no shortcut to practicing martial arts, only continuous improvement in actual combat, those famous masters are all in countless life and death, and the reason why they are masters is because they will comprehend their own stunts. ”

"Huh? Have you comprehended your stunt? Every time I see my eldest brother, I feel that you have difficulty breathing when you practice marksmanship, and I think that my eldest brother should have his own stunts almost like those famous masters. Wang Hai has always admired his cheap big brother in his heart, and always feels that there are too many mysterious things in this big brother, such as the wine sold to the rich merchant Mi family in Xuzhou, as well as those tables, chairs and benches, which are all things that the whole Han does not have now, but in the hands of his eldest brother it is as simple as eating, in his heart, his eldest brother is omnipotent, so those masters are not as powerful as the eldest brother.

"The reason why a stunt is a stunt is because it is powerful and difficult to comprehend, how can it be so easy. I'm just still in the early stages of comprehension, and I don't have a clue yet, and the gap between me and those famous masters is still quite large, at most barely among the first-class. So Xiaohai, no matter what realm you reach in the future, you must not relax, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, you know? ”

"yes, I understand."

In this way, Su Xiu and the two arrived in Taishan County in mid-July. After the successful completion of the handover, Su Xiu found out that Yu Ban's residence was in Sawing County, which was not far from Fenggao County, where Taishan was governed, and it would only take half a day to get there, so he took Wang Hai all the way to Sawping.

Speaking of Yu Ban, it is actually very famous in Zaoping and even the entire Taishan County, in addition to his outstanding martial arts, he also organized the township to resist the invasion of bandits in Zaoping County. Just the year before last, a group of bandits outside the county led the crowd to loot the county seat, and the officers and soldiers in the county were beaten to the point that they were crying for their fathers and mothers. At the critical moment, Yu Ban led the townsmen he trained to drive away the bandits with sticks.

A few days later, Li Laohu, the leader of the cottage outside the city, poured out of the nest, and as a result, Yu Ban led the township Yong to defend the city, not only repelling the bandits, but also killing Li Laohu himself in the later melee out of the city, and since then it has become one of the few county towns in Taishan County that has not been invaded by bandits. The last time Su Xiu met Yu Ban in Pei County, in fact, Yu Ban was invited by Bao Xin of Pingyang, Taishan to jointly organize Xiang Yong, and wanted to clear the thieves of Taishan, Yu Ban was greatly moved, but out of safety, he did not formally agree, so he went to find a friend who lived in Pei County, and asked Xuzhou to send troops to jointly suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, Xuzhou not only did not send troops, but also ridiculed Yu Ban severely.

After returning from Xuzhou, Yu Ban began to prepare for the alliance with Bao Xin. In fact, he knows very well that Bao Xin is short-sighted, easily blinded by immediate interests, and is not a very good leader, but this person is still a bit strategic, and he also knows a little about military training, and he is still quite famous in the Pingyang realm.

Recently, the bandits began to move again, I heard that several large cottages in Taishan County seem to be going to join forces to act, perhaps because all parts of Mount Tai have begun to form a township warrior one after another, although the effect is not great, but it is always a troublesome thing for the bandits, once the township warriors are equipped with regular weapons, plus systematic training, although they will not be exterminated, but it will cause a great obstacle to the robbery of the bandits.

After Yu Ban learned about the training method of the military camp from a friend in Pei County, he returned to Sawing and began to sort out the training method suitable for Xiang Yong, which had just been completed recently, and was about to devote himself to the training of Xiang Yong, when he heard a sound of horses' hooves outside the door. When I went out, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi with a child about ten years old standing outside the door and looking left and right.

The people who came were Su Xiu and Wang Hai, and after confirming that this was Yu Ban's residence, the two shouted outside the courtyard gate: "Brother Wen Ze, Xiu has come to see you." Yu Ban really didn't expect that Su Xiu, who had only one side in Pei County, would come, so he couldn't be surprised immediately, and hurriedly welcomed the two into the main hall, and after sitting down, Yu Ban began to ask the purpose of the two of them.

"Xiu heard that Wen Ze was training the villagers to resist bandits in Sawing, and the results were very good, so he wanted to ask Wen Ze to go to Fenggao to train soldiers and help me fight the thieves."

Yu Ban was taken aback, why did Su Xiu suddenly remember that Mount Tai had crusaded against the bandits? Didn't you say you were going to Xiapi to do something before? What's more, this Taishan thief court has not been exterminated many times, could it be that Su Xiu wants to destroy the Taishan thief with a few hundred towns?

It doesn't mean that he can't ask out loud, and Wang Hai next to him spoke: "Brother Yu, you may not know that Brother Su is now the guard of Taishan County, I and my eldest brother have traveled all the way, and I heard that Brother Yu relied on Xiangyong to repel the bandits, and the eldest brother wanted to ask Brother Yu to help him pacify this Taishan County." ”

Only then did Yu Ban know that Su Xiu was already the biggest parent official in Taishan County, so he hurriedly got up to worship, Su Xiu supported Yu Ban and said: "Today is just an old man meeting, don't let these officialdom be vain." Xiaohai also said just now, I do have the heart to exterminate the bandits in Taishan County, but after all, I am a newcomer, and I don't know a lot about the situation here, and I hope Wen will teach me. ”

"My lord doesn't know, this Taishan County is adjacent to the eastern section of Taihang, there are many mountains and forests, this bandit lives in this deep mountain all the year round, it is easy to retreat, but it is difficult to exterminate, because they are very familiar with the terrain, and there are traps on the main road up the mountain, if there is no person who is familiar with the mountains and forests to lead the way, let alone Xiangyong, it is useless to go to several battalions of officers and soldiers."

"Then, in Wen Ze's opinion, how can we exterminate this mountain of bandits?" Su Xiu saw that Yu Ban didn't have a little worry on his face, and presumably Yu Ban already had a feasible plan in his heart, so he asked out loud.

"If you want to completely eradicate the bandits, you must do this......"
