While Fang Qian's father and daughter were talking, Zhang Cheng had already asked Feng Jingyu to select the most elite hundred people from the guard battalion to gather in the depths of the forest.

In front of Zhang Cheng, a hundred people wore chest chain mail, standing in ten columns, and the first one standing was Feng Jingyu. He walked up to Zhang Cheng and said loudly: "General, the 100 people with the best martial arts and the most athletic skills in the guard camp have all been selected here, please make it clear to the general!" ”

Zhang Cheng stood with his hands in his hands, and he said solemnly: "The Guards Battalion is the most elite division in my loyal army; And you are the elite of the elite in the guard battalion. I will put you back together to form a special team called the Flying Tiger Brigade. The Flying Tiger Brigade is as its name suggests, coming and going without a trace, galloping vertically and horizontally, and fierce and abnormal. ”

"From today on, you are a member of my Flying Tiger Brigade, and what you will receive is the most rigorous training in our army, because what you are about to complete is also a special task that ordinary people cannot complete! Remember, from today onwards, you will only accept orders from me alone, and you will not reveal your identity, let alone the existence of the Flying Tiger Brigade. Remember? ”

The generals and soldiers suddenly promised: "We will swear allegiance to the general, and we will have no regrets in life and death!" ”

"Good! As a member of the Flying Tiger Brigade, he must abide by military discipline more than ordinary soldiers, and he must do what he wants, ignore them, and resolutely carry them out without discounting. From today, it will take half a month to get to Xijing. In this half month, I will gradually teach you courses such as long-distance raids, night raids, secret attacks and poisoning, flying cornices and walls, and hidden reconnaissance. This first lesson is to run long distances. Zhang Cheng said.

"Yes!" The Flying Tiger Brigade all agreed.

Feng Jingyu used the sign language that Zhang Cheng had given him in advance, and pointed forward with his right hand, and a hundred people turned around and ran quickly. Under the leadership of Feng Jingyu, he hurried towards the destination of the first hundred miles

For the next three days, the only training task of the Flying Tiger Brigade was a long-distance 100-mile cross-country round-trip rush. However, compared to the food of other guard battalions, their food can be said to be ten times better, and they are greeted with good food and meat. Because Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that such a powerful physical training must have a good diet supply, which has provided energy consumption in the body.

Although the one hundred and one people of the Flying Tiger Brigade were all slaves captured by the grassland barbarians in Jizhou, but after the recovery of the past few years, their bodies have long grown burly and strong, and they have been trained in Xincheng for more than a year, and their combat quality is also very different, plus the Flying Tiger Brigade is selected from one out of thousand, and their combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of other soldiers.

In the past three days, day and night, except for rest time, they have been carrying out off-road concealment and running. Sometimes, you need to lie in the grass in the jungle for an hour or two, you must know that it is the middle of winter, more than ten degrees below zero, this kind of tolerance to the cold is really not tolerable for ordinary people; Then he will receive an order at any time and rush forward for dozens of miles.

In just three days, the temperament of the Flying Tiger Brigade has made another qualitative leap.

On the night of the fourth day, the one hundred and one people of the Flying Tiger Brigade were still standing in front of Zhang Cheng, but to Zhang Cheng, this one hundred and one people were one hundred and one flames, and there was a fire burning in their chests, but it gave people the feeling that it was one hundred and one sharp swords.

"Starting today, we are going to train for a new project: Night Assault. I have ordered the Loyal Rebels to send one hundred and one small crossbows and a set of equipment. In a few moments, you'll have to cross the country for 10 kilometers, where I'm ready, and it's up to you to get over the obstacles and perform the task perfectly. Let's go! Zhang Cheng first finished speaking to the people of the Flying Tiger Brigade, and finally said to Feng Jingyu.

Feng Jingyu heard the order, nodded solemnly, turned around neatly, and made another forward gesture, and the Flying Tiger Brigade all turned around and walked towards the target ten kilometers away.

After completing the ten-kilometer cross-country, the destination is in front of him, but in front of the destination, there are three consecutive one-zhang high plank obstacles, Feng Jingyu stretched out his hands forward, and the two fires and twenty people were divided into two rows, and the first row took the lead in pulling out a small crossbow from his waist, took a step forward, and stepped down from the horse.

"Toot toot!"

Ten crossbow arrows were nailed to different positions on the first row of planks in an instant, and then the soldiers of the second row of Flying Tiger Brigade stepped forward, and the crossbow arrows were shot, and ten crossbow arrows were nailed to the empty space on the plank. The two firemen immediately had their hind legs on either side.

With a wave of Feng Jingyu's right hand, the Flying Tiger Brigade immediately rushed towards the plank. One by one, they climbed up with the crossbow arrows from before, and in just a few moments, they climbed over the wooden board barrier.

The two obstacles that followed, the Flying Tiger Brigade climbed over in this way, and behind the obstacles, there was a long rope that had been pulled, and thirty steps away from the long rope were rows of targets that had been set up long ago. That's the final task.

Feng Jingyu still pointed his hands in front of his hands, and the Flying Tiger Brigade instantly lined up in a row, holding a strip of cloth in turn, hanging it on the long rope, and began to slide, just in the middle of the long rope, he took out the small crossbow on his waist, and the crossbow arrows were fired in a volley, all nailed to the target

Fang Qian and the others have been traveling all the way for ten days, passing through the Jingzhou border, and everyone has traveled all the way through the state, which is indeed very hard. However, along the way, Zhang Cheng also saw the prosperity of Jingzhou. Compared with the war and poor governance in Jizhou, Jingzhou is indeed very rich.

Among the thirteen states of the Great Qian Empire, Jingzhou can be regarded as one of the few prefectures and counties that have not suffered from war. Jingzhou was obtained by the original prime minister Zhao Mu by political means, and Jingzhou is relatively close to the feet of the Son of Heaven in Fuzhou, and has been well managed, the people have recuperated, and the cultivation of several generations has led to today's Jingzhou, which is the granary of the north of the imperial court.

Zhang Cheng and his entourage did not pass through the prefecture and county, but hurried all the way and entered the territory of Fuzhou.

"Recently, I have often seen you go out day and night, and your personal guards have been elusive recently, and you often let Lord Yang go into the city to purchase a lot of grain and meat, and the food level of your personal guard camp has improved a lot! What are you doing? So mysterious? Fang Ningyu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, leaned against the window of the sedan chair, and asked Zhang Cheng, who was riding a war horse and looking very leisurely.

"Hehe, it's not easy for brothers to follow me. You see they are skinny one by one, let's ride horses, they walk, if you don't give them better food, I'm afraid that before they go to Xijing City, my brothers will rebel against me! Zhang Cheng said interestingly.

Fang Ningyu glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to say that I pulled it down!" I'm not uncommon! However, I may remind you that we have now entered the territory of Fuzhou, and at present we have two roads, the first way, to go to Gujun, so that we will have to walk at least a few more days; Second, go to Qiling. However, Qiling Mountain has always been infested with bandits. In this way, we can save a lot of time. ”

"Bandits? How can there be bandits here? Didn't the imperial court send troops to wipe them out? When Zhang Cheng heard this, he said with some surprise. You must know that the Zhao family sits on the land of Gyeonggi in Fuzhou, and will allow it to be under his feet, and there are thieves who often haunt and make people panic?

"Don't you know, several times the imperial court has sent troops into the mountains to clear it, but the Qiling Mountains are hundreds of miles from north to south, and the number of these bandits is not large, only one hundred and ten. These 100 people are very good at bows and crossbows, and it can be said that all of them are archers, and they wear Yang in a hundred steps! This group of people does not have a fixed cottage, and they are all agile and flexible, and they are quite good at trapping traps; They crossed the mountains and mountains in the mountains and forests, set up organs, but they could not find any trace of them at all, and after several unsuccessful clean-ups but the loss of hundreds of people, the imperial court was gone. ”

"Nothing? No matter how cunning this group of bandits is, the imperial court will definitely not allow the bandits to exist in Fuzhou, right? The more Yang Wenzhao on the side listened, the more surprised he became, and he was very puzzled when he heard that the imperial court couldn't help a group of bandits, and finally couldn't pay it back.

"Lord Yang doesn't know that this group of bandits has a name, called Juyitang. Because he robbed the rich and helped the poor, and did not kill people, the local people gave him a nickname: Thief. Under Fang Ningyu's patient explanation, Zhang Cheng and the others understood that this Juyi Hall robbed the rich and helped the poor, helped the people, and contributed money and efforts to the local drought and famine several times, and did a lot of good things. The imperial court saw that although they robbed the money of past merchants, they did not hurt people's lives, and this group of people was too difficult, so under the instruction of Shang Shuling, they did not continue to clean up Juyitang.

"You're saying they're all sharpshooters? Can you walk through Yang in 100 steps? Zhang Cheng asked again.

"That's what it says. What, you're going to co-opt them? You have to understand that Shang Shuling and his high-ranking officials have failed to recruit him, what else can you do with a little thorn history? Fang Ningyu deliberately struck.

Zhang Cheng just grinned and didn't say anything. He nodded at Feng Jingyu behind him, Feng Jingyu understood and nodded in understanding. The horse turned and walked towards the brigade behind him.

Fang Qian didn't speak on the side, and when he saw Feng Jingyu leaving, he didn't say anything, just continued to hurry.

Yang Wenzhao whispered to Zhang Cheng on the side: "Sedum, this time it is a water station, and there is a great demand for archers. If this Juyi Hall is really as Miss Fang said, it is indeed a good thing that we can take it for our own use. However, with the strength of the pro-guard battalion, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a difference. ”

"Just look at it. Hey. Zhang Cheng smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.

After 10 days of assault training, the Flying Tiger Brigade has already comprehended the long-distance raids, night raids, secret attacks and poisoning, flying eaves and walls, and concealed reconnaissance.

Feng Jingyu was born to be the leader of special operations, and after receiving the order, he immediately asked Mo Xiaodao, the commander of the Flying Tiger Brigade who was a full-time spy and reconnaissance, to lead a group of people to the nearest Lingqiu County to inquire about intelligence and collect information from Juyitang. At the same time, he also mobilized Fuzhou's intelligence organization to help investigate at the branch in Lingqiu County.

What people never expected was that Guang Fushun, the owner of the Fuyuan Inn in Lingqiu County, had already collected relevant information about Juyi Hall. And Guang Fushun's intelligence officers had had contact with a brother of Juyitang before, so they knew Juyitang in detail.

The hall master of Juyi Hall is a twenty-eight-year-old young man with a compound surname of Longqiu, and a single name with the character Ling. He is a descendant of Longqiu Yoshihui, a general of the divine arrow during the Qin Dynasty. He has lived in Shenchi County, Shuo-gun, Fuzhou for generations. During the Qin Dynasty, the Longqiu family was a well-known family at that time, and the minister in charge of the 100,000 army of the imperial court; However, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, and after 800 years of vicissitudes, the Longqiu family has been reduced to a small clan in Fuzhou, with only a few hundred people in the clan, and most of the clansmen live in poverty, and some even sell themselves into slavery to support their family heirs. Longqiu Ling was originally the youngest son of the patriarch Longqiu Shunyi, Longqiu Ling was good at martial arts since he was a child, and he was especially good at bows and crossbows. In order to train his son, Longqiu Shunyi devoted all his family to a martial arts instructor to teach him archery day and night. Long Qiu Ling is also a talented genius, at the age of thirteen he can pull a strong bow and hit the target, and at the age of eighteen, he can already shoot an arrow within 100 steps, and hit 100 shots. At the age of twenty, he was able to hold a strong bow and fire three arrows at the same time.

However, when he was 20 years old, a woman fought with the son of a wealthy merchant in the county, and his son was seriously injured and died, so he committed the felony of killing his head. His father had no choice but to let him flee. Longqiu Ling fled to Qiling after several tosses, and in this year, he successively gathered many good shooters in Qiling and Taiyue Mountain, and established Juyitang.

At the beginning, there were only twenty or thirty people in Juyitang, but as Juyitang robbed the rich and helped the poor, and its reputation for helping the people became bigger and bigger, many righteous people came to take refuge one after another, but Juyitang only accepted people who were good at shooting, and only one hundred and eighty people were developed in eight years. The one hundred and eighty archers under his command, all of whom are proficient in archery, can be said to be the weakest in Juyitang's archery skills, and can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, while Longqiu Ling can shoot three arrows in a salvo from a hundred and fifty steps, and the arrows are not missing. The horror of the members of Juyitang is breathtaking.

Only a few dozen of the main members of the Juyi Tang remained in the mountains on weekdays, and most of the rest of the members went to the neighboring counties to inquire and collect information. At the same time, some herbs and animal skins collected on Taiyue Mountain in Qiling were sold to purchase food to meet the needs of Juyitang.

Therefore, Fuyuan Inn knows the traces of many members of Juyitang very well. This information is not known to the imperial court, or rather, the imperial court does not want to know. In this way, it gave Zhang Cheng a great opportunity.
