Chapter 204: The People's Heart

Thank you for the two monthly passes MARTIN2312!

Fan Ren is open-minded, jealous and hateful, and most of the friends he has made are capable, bold and bold, righteous and grateful to repay kindness.

Jiang Long has the grace to help He Huan, otherwise He Huan is either still in prison or has his head cut off.

Now that there is something to ask for the door, He Huan definitely can't refuse.

For this, Fan Ren is very sure.

He believes in his eye for making friends.

Moreover, it is the responsibility of the army to guard the frontier and encircle and suppress bandits and horse thieves.

For He Huan, this is not a difficult matter.

With 3,000 sergeants and 500 cavalry, plus the manpower of Lingtong County, it was completely possible to crush the horse bandits.

If you want to make a name for yourself and make people dare not provoke, it doesn't mean that you can exterminate the horse bandits, at most it can only be regarded as a lot of means and force.

It really makes people feel afraid, as soon as they hear the name of Lingtong County, they don't dare to have any bad thoughts, and they have to let outsiders see the energy of Lingtong County.

And He Huan's three thousand military horses are very deterrent.

In northern Xinjiang, there has not been an independent horse bandit who dares to confront the 3,000 border army.

Even if a lot of road horse bandits are combined and there are enough 10,000 people, they can't do anything with 3,000 border troops.

The difference in combat effectiveness is too great.

If the 3,000 border army were all cavalry, they would be able to defeat 10,000 horse bandits.

In fact, the horse bandits and thieves are not as big as possible if there are more people, and the territory is too large, which will definitely attract the defense and attention of the imperial court.

At that time, we will definitely get rid of the big horse bandits.

Because such a big shili is enough to affect the situation on the border.

Therefore, there are only two or three large horse bandit dens in northern Xinjiang that can have a thousand people.

The rest are hundreds.

In addition, if there are too many thieves, then it costs a lot of food, clothing, shelter and transportation on weekdays, and it is useless to rob small places and small caravans, and it is impossible to feed so many people, which also inhibits the expansion and development space of the bandit group.

Without further ado, Jiang Long took Fan Ren and the others to find Cheng Ze immediately, why not be there, with Xiao Fan.

The three of them have a huge connection, but they are all outside the county and county, and it will take some time to notify them first and then come back.

Now that he heard that He Huan, who was stationed in Wangsha County, he was naturally happy to bring three thousand military horses to help.

In this way, there is no need to go to farther places to drag relationships and find acquaintances.

After a little discussion, Fan Ren rode a horse to find He Huan.

Jiang Long and the others were ready, and then with fifty sergeants from the Inspection Division, twenty servants, and more than 100 people who were arrested and taken to the cell, they set off in the direction of Jieziliang.

There can't be chaos in the city, so there must be some officials to do things and guard the city gates.

I can't take it all away.

And those prisoners who deliberately made trouble and were arrested, and wanted to eat food, are suffering at the moment.

Cleaning the streets, repairing houses, cleaning up the smelly garbage, they do all these things very happily.

It's not so bitter, and you can still eat a full stomach, which is equivalent to finding an errand to do.

But they never expected that Jiang Long would take them to the battlefield to encircle and suppress the horse bandits.

Grandma's!

This is something that can cost you a small life!

There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if one is not good, you will not see the sun tomorrow.

One by one, they cursed in their hearts and scolded Jiang Long for being too insidious.

With a few bites of food, they were fooled, and they had to work hard for Jiang Long.

However, no one dares to make trouble and run away.

Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be held accountable, and you will inevitably have your head cut off.

The people living in the frontier are well aware of the severity and cruelty of military discipline.

Zhou Xi, the county magistrate, stayed in the town, and the third-room scribe did not follow, and Jiang Long also left Xiao Fan and the newly appointed prisoner Xiong Qi behind.

There can be no more chaos in the city.

The main bookkeeper, Wang Gui, and the scholar originally didn't have to follow, but in order to show his loyalty, Wang Gui asked hard and said that he was familiar with the road and could lead the way accurately, and Jiang Long took him with him.

Jiang Long rode the snow field of the divine horse and walked at the front of the team, glanced back, and saw that the prisoners who followed Zuihou were all wilted and drooping, but the corners of their mouths were lightly raised, showing a smile, and they didn't say anything.

I didn't expect these people to take the lead in the killing.

The morale of the sergeants in the inspection department and the officers in the yamen was not high, but there was no sign of malaise.

When they took up public positions in Lingtong County, they had long been mentally prepared to go to war.

Wang Gui, the chief bookkeeper, said that if you walk, even if you walk faster, you won't be able to reach Jieziliang until it gets dark.

The horse bandits had plundered the silver taels and table salt, and they were in collusion with others, and those salt would surely be sold quickly.

Time was pressing, and Jiang Long decided to take Tudu, Qin Yu, Gunty Buck, and the three Qi brothers on horseback to take the lead.

Arrive at the place where you made an appointment to meet Fan Ren.

After meeting He Huan, it was better to discuss the plan as soon as possible.

Cheng Ze and He were not at ease, but they couldn't persuade him.

is to understand Jiang Long a little bit again, and know that Jiang Long is a very thoughtful person.

Decisions are made, and they are rarely changed.

If such a character is coupled with the ability to accept advice before doing things, and to know the good and bad of the loyal and treacherous, then it can be assisted.

But the time spent together is too short, and they are also worried, and such a character also has big drawbacks.

If you can't listen to the way of speech, and you can't argue between good and bad, then it's bad.

It will be a person who makes his own opinions, is self-righteous, does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and is arrogant and arrogant.

Jiang Long handed over the team to Cheng Ze and He Zai to command.

In addition to the newly appointed inspector Sun Lian, Jiang Long also left two other Jingfu guards for the two to drive to deal with unexpected situations.

A few centaurs were fast, just a moment, and they disappeared into the distance.

Cheng Ze and He Zao were both a little worried, for fear that Jiang Long and his party would encounter danger, there were too few of them.

There were not many cavalry in the team, and a few horses were borrowed from the post station in the county town, and there were only twenty-three cavalrymen in total.

Cheng Ze sent these cavalry to parade back and forth around the team, and if he found anything unusual, he did not let them fight, but immediately came back to report the news.

Sort of a scout for the team.

The candidates for the cavalry are all the fast catchers in the county government, and these people are agile and have sharper eyesight.

Of course, they are certainly much worse than the regular scouts in the army.

However, it is only to encircle and suppress horse bandits, not to fight with alien brigades, these people are enough to act as scouts.

The snowfield was like a gust of wind, carrying the river dragon at a gallop, four hooves flying, and bursts of dust and sand splashed behind him.

The climate in the north is dry and windy.

The wind was wrapped in grains of sand and flew all over the sky.

Jiang Long sat on horseback, the wind was blowing, the yellow earth under his feet was retreating, and a sense of pride rose in his heart inexplicably.

In his previous life, he would never have imagined that he would one day travel to this shijie, and there would be a day when he rode a horse and carried a spear to kill the enemy.

Thinking of the heroic deeds of many ancient famous generals in his previous life, he was full of pride.

A song full of Jianghong is from my mind.

Without personal experience and real feelings, you will never be able to appreciate the majesty and impassionedness of this song full of Jianghong.

Tudu and the others rode horses and followed closely behind Jiang Long.

The group marched rapidly between the grasslands and the hills.

This year's spring rain in the north is quite sufficient, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and from afar, the sky and the earth are green.

The grass is growing well, the horses and sheep have enough forage to graze, and it is estimated that there should be no large-scale raids from the northern alien races in the spring.

The speed of the snow field far surpassed that of the other horses, even Qin Yu's Hei Rui could not do it.

Jiang Long could only stop every once in a while and wait for others.

Xueyuan was a little dissatisfied, because he didn't have a good time.

The three Qi brothers were born in northern Xinjiang, and they once followed the caravan that came to northern Xinjiang to run around, mixing food and eating, and they are still relatively familiar with this place and can act as guides.

Nearly two hours later, the group came to the location of the appointment with Fan Ren.

Not a small town, not a village, but a larger mountain.

Instead of meeting in a place where there are people, it is because of the fear that the news may leak out.

If you want to exterminate all the horse bandits, you must surround them in advance, and if you want to reduce your own casualties, you must kill the horse bandits by surprise.

Fan Ren and He Huan have not yet arrived.

They dismounted, unsaddled, and let the horses graze nearby.

There was a big battle in the evening, and now the horses must not be exhausted, but they must rest well and have their stomachs fed.

Jiang Long pulled out the wooden plug of the military water bladder and poured some water for Xueyuan to drink.

After Xueyuan drank it, he arched Gongjianglong's head affectionately with his big head, and then walked to the side and went to eat grass slowly.

The other horses were afraid to approach the snowfield.

Instead, the other horses gathered around him.

Except for the snowfield, in front of the other horses, Heirui is very arrogant.

For a few of the mares who took the initiative to be courteous, they raised their heads proudly and did not give the slightest good look.

Just when Jiang Long was waiting for Fan Ren and He Huan, there was a great sensation in the capital.

A passionate and impassioned article by Jiang Long was published on the front page of the heyday newspaper.

In the text, the ranger general Guo Fang, centurion Cheng Gang and centurion Wei Huan, who escorted the team, were given the benchmark to become heroes who were truly loyal to the monarch and the country, not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of sacrifice, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and endure humiliation.

Through the confrontation with the horse bandits, the two things of pacifying Mu Xuan, the commander of the forbidden army, set up a tall image for the three of them.

At the same time, he did not forget to praise the middle-aged eunuch.

It can be regarded as taking the initiative to show goodwill to the camp of King Shin.

Of course, praising the middle-aged eunuch can't praise how wise and martial he is, and how to lead the troops to take down Mu Xuan.

These are not what a eunuch in the palace should do and can do, if he dares to command the army, it is tantamount to breaking the rules of the court.

can only faintly point out in some places in the text how loyal the middle-aged eunuch is, when Mu Xuan controlled more than a thousand forbidden troops, he was not afraid at all, and dared to expose Mu Xuan's true face, and then properly stated that the middle-aged eunuch was also very smart.

Such an image is in line with the identity of a middle-aged eunuch.

The pen and ink that writes about him are far inferior to Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, and Wei Huanduo, but the ink at the key points is also impressive.

That's the power of the pen.

And for Jiang Long, it's just pediatrics.

As soon as the newspaper was published, it caused a sensation in the whole capital.

You must know that although there are some additions here, it is a real person.

And the people don't know how much vinegar is added to it.

I only saw Guo Fang's wisdom and bravery, as well as Cheng Gang and Wei Huan's obedience to military orders and fearlessness when killing the enemy.

Compared with the officials of the DPRK and China and the noble families, these people are too easy to deceive.

But the people who are so easy to deceive represent the hearts of the people.

And the people's will is extremely important!

There is a saying that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
