Of course, He Huan's free command of the army is extremely limited.

Generally, those who dare to rebel are generals with armies under their commands, and the royal family is more wary of military generals.

When the official position reaches a certain level, the family has to stay in the capital.

On the surface, it is to enjoy the glory and wealth of the capital, and it is also an honor to settle down in the capital.

But in fact, they are just hostages.

If you dare to rebel, the emperor will kill your whole family!

He Huan is only a ranger general from the fifth grade, and he is far from that level.

He has a certain degree of autonomy over his troops, but although he can conduct military operations independently, he cannot take more than two days at most, and if he pulls the army out today, he must return to the barracks tomorrow, and then hand the fold up to explain the situation.

And if it takes more than two days, it means that the matter is not small.

It definitely requires the cooperation of others, and this must be applied to the above in advance.

Because there is a certain degree of autonomy over the army, sometimes there will be people who want to ask for help, but if He Huan doesn't want to go, he can use the horse bandits as an excuse.

For example, if you are about to exterminate the horse bandits, or where the horse bandits are committing crimes, they have to deal with them.

showed that he was dragged by the horse bandits, and he really couldn't leave.

In addition, if you keep the horse bandits in the territory, you can go to encircle and suppress them from time to time, make some contributions, and you can be promoted if you accumulate more military achievements.

And for civil servants, there are also benefits.

Civilian officials have patrol departments under them, and they can also suppress bandits.

If you want to suppress bandits, you can ask the court for money, food, weapons and materials in a bright and open manner.

There are a lot of ghosts here, such as falsely reporting the number of people, and after suppressing the bandits, the extra people show that they are directly killed in battle.

At that time, the money will also fall into the pocket.

In short, keep the horse bandits, everyone has their own little abacus.

It is precisely because there are too many involved that He Huan has concerns in his heart.

There are too many people who can't get used to the filthiness in this, not only do they not perform their duties to suppress bandits, but they use this as an excuse to reach out to the court to ask for money, and embezzle it into their own pockets, Jiang Long is too, but he is now just the county magistrate of Lingtong County.

The job is small and humble, and you can't manage it if you want to.

What needs to be done is to take care of Lingtong County.

understood the complexity, but Jiang Long still insisted on killing this gang of horse bandits.

He Huan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in response.

Not to mention that he owes Jiang Long a great favor, even because Jiang Long is Jing Xian's descendant, he must also help.

After the gang of horse bandits was exterminated, he believed that in a few years, new horse bandits would come here to gather and set up camp.

So for him, encircling and suppressing them all is not too much entanglement of interests.

The people who really take revenge are those officials and generals who have been colluding with the horse bandits for many years.

"As long as Master Jing is not afraid of those people's retaliation, it's fine." He Huan said.

Jiang Long smiled, he was never afraid of trouble, and this time it was someone else's idea to attack the silver grain and salt in Lingtong County first, which was equivalent to provoking him first.

If you dare to provoke him, then you must accept the punishment!

Horse bandits?

Exterminating them all is only the first step for Jihua.

Follow-up jihua, that is, he is going to find trouble with those people.

Jiang Long has a rough estimate of how much influence the article sent back will have.

If the emperor wants to rectify the officialdom of Xianzhou, then his next actions will be more convenient.

There is a big weapon of newspapers, as long as there is evidence, let him see the newspaper at that time.

The opponent must not die immediately?

Even if the emperor wants to keep it, he can't hide it.

In short, before the emperor thought of a way to suppress the newspaper industry, this platform could help Jiang Long do many things.

In addition to knowing that the emperor has the intention to get rid of himself, Jiang Long also has to deal with the prince first.

It is said that in Xianzhou, many officials were sent by the prince.

Xianzhou Zhizhou Wenshang is the absolute loyal henchman of the prince!

Jiang Long didn't know much about Xianzhou and Wangsha County at present, so he simply talked to He Huan and asked when the people of Lingtong County did not arrive.

Gradually, I have a certain understanding of Wangsha County.

The Taishou of Wangsha County is named Pang Cheng'an, who was personally appointed by Zhizhou Wenshang, and he can be regarded as Wenshang's hardcore confidant and a person who stands in the prince's camp.

The governor of Wangsha County is named Jiang Qi, and he doesn't get along well with Pang Cheng'an.

often confronts it-for-tat, but it has not been taken down, so it can be seen that there should be a lot of shili behind it.

These two are the first and second in command of Wangsha County.

Of course, this is at a normal time, if a battle breaks out at the border pass, then Jiang Qi's status will be instantly higher than Pang Chengan, and then he can even catch all the political and military affairs in the palm of his hand, there is no way to do this, everything must obey the arrangements of the generals in the war, so as to ensure the victory of the war.

At such a time, the status of civil officials is far inferior to that of military generals.

Only in times of peace and in places will civilian officials prevail over military generals.

Under the command of the two, each has its own shili and manpower.

In comparison, because Pang Cheng'an came later, he fell behind a little.

Jiang Qi is a veteran, leading the military horses to fight on the battlefield countless times, the position is based on the accumulation of military merits and hard work, there is a bit of force under his hands, He Huan thinks that he is not an opponent.

Talking about Pang Chengan again, He Huan spoke more and more, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Jiang Long frowned as he listened.

This person is the true confidant of the prince, and naturally he also wants to do the way of a saint, wanting to civilize the barbarians, and act in a style to repay grievances with virtue.

If it is said that Yang County's order is not in a good way, many people who have been harmed have lost their lives.

Then this Pang Chengan directly messed up the political affairs of Wangsha County.

Thanks to Jiang Qi, who is-for-tat with him and suppresses him, otherwise if someone else stands in Pang Chengan's camp to assist, then I don't know how many soldiers and civilians will die at the hands of aliens.

In addition to civilizing the barbarians, Pang Chengan also showed his incompetent side.

was deceived by many subordinate officials, but he didn't know about it.

Pang Chengan also wanted to make a difference, he had rectified and purged the officialdom, and made great efforts to recruit Anma bandits, but now he can only see what he wants to see, and the officials below let him see it.

The real reality, he didn't know.

The reason why this person was promoted here by Wen Shang is just that he is older, has high prestige, and has qualifications.

It's not really that much ability.

Chatting and chatting, it was getting dark, and the sergeants buried the pot to cook.

Outside, you can't be particular and picky about eating.

Jiang Long took the big pot of rice that Tudu and others ate like others.

And He Huan has long been used to it.

If you want to be admired and supported by your sergeants, in addition to having force value and knowing how to use soldiers, you must also be able to share weal and woe with the sergeants.

Eating together, sometimes squeezing and sleeping in a big tent, will be more favored by the sergeants.

If it is always high up and there is no chance of contact at all, then the sergeant will only be in awe.

Instead of admiring, it is regarded as an idol admired in the heart.

The leader of the cooking pot is very experienced, and he sets up a pot in a low-lying place to make a fire, so that the wind will be lighter, and people from a distance will not be able to see it.

Won't be spotted by horse bandits.

After eating, when it was all dark, the people of Lingtong County finally arrived.

Cheng Ze and He Bu approached and told Jiang Long that the men and horses they brought had already eaten halfway, and they could go into battle after a short rest.

In the wilderness, you can't force your way hungry, otherwise you will encounter an unexpected situation, which will be bad.

This is Cheng Ze and He are experienced and know how to lead troops.

Jiang Long had already discussed with He Huan before, and now he introduced Cheng Ze and He Zai to He Huan.

Then sit down and tell Cheng Ze how to deploy.

Cheng Ze and He Zai agree with the method of suppressing bandits, He Huan has some skills after all, and he is not the kind of person who relies on relationships to spend money to buy officials, but in some details, the two also put forward opinions and made changes.

He Huan naturally had some vision, and after hearing this, he just glanced at the two of them.

I secretly praised in my heart, and it really deserved to come out of Jingfu.

But I didn't know that Cheng Ze and He were the advisors who assisted Jing Xian back then.

After the plan is discussed, without further ado, the action is initiated.

The soldiers were divided into four routes, three of which were led by He Huan and his commanders, and one was handed over to Lingtong County.

The reason for this arrangement is that we are not familiar with each other, and if we mix together, we may cause some problems.

In addition, the den of thieves of the Broken Horse Bandit is located on a higher mountain.

Three of them can go up the mountain, and behind one of the mountains is a cliff about five zhang high.

Descending from the cliff must use vine ropes to climb down, and Lingtong County is enough to deal with it.

Cheng Ze and He Huan dominate the overall situation.

Why not lead the people of Lingtong County to the back mountain.

Jiang Long put forward his own request and went into battle to kill the bandits.

"That's not going to work!" He Huan refused on the spot.

Cheng Ze also shook his head, not worried about Jiang Long's safety.

"It's just to encircle and suppress a group of horse bandits, just hone and increase experience, otherwise how to deal with foreign armies in the future?" Jiang Long has made up his mind.

At this time, Fan Ren took a step forward and said, "I will stay by Jingjianglong's side to keep him safe." ”

He Huan agreed.

Tudu and Gunty Buck are also masters, but He Huan doesn't know about it.

And He Huan didn't hear about Jiang Long's deeds of following the escort salt team to northern Xinjiang.

But Fan Ren's ability, He Huan clearly understands.

Even Jiang Qi, the governor of Wangsha County, is not Fan Ren's opponent.

Moreover, Fan Ren also made a good archery.

100 steps through Yang, no false hair!

With Fan Ren guarding Jiang Long's side, He Huan was relieved.

It's just that He Huan was relieved, but Fan Ren's move made Tudu and Gunty Buck very unhappy.

It seems that the two of them are not as capable as Fan Ren.

I made up my mind to try Fan Ren on the battlefield.

After making proper arrangements, Fan Ren picked up the big bow he had brought with him all year round, this was a hard bow, and ordinary people couldn't make it.

Then there was a quiver on his back, and there were more than a dozen black arrows in it.

When Gunty Barker saw it, his eyes lit up.

In addition to being good at hand-to-hand combat, he is a good shooter.

Immediately asked for a good bow, and planned to test his archery skills with Fan Ren later.

By the darkness of the night, the crowd went their separate ways.

Jiang Long followed a commander of a thousand horses, rode the snow to the left side of the mountain, and when the signal was issued, he attacked the mountain from here.

There are barricades on the front, left, and right sides of the hill.

even dug a trap, so the commander told Jiang Long over and over again, telling Jiang Long to be careful and not to rush to the front of the Tai, Jiang Long naturally nodded and agreed.
