Section 26 Into the City

Just when a few of them gathered together to repeatedly discuss the next things that the entire group needed to deal with next, Lin Xiufeng, who was attached to the group, returned from Yifeng City again, this time his face was even more embarrassed, with a trace of helplessness in his anger, without waiting for the stone to ask, he said with a bitter face: "Tuanzuo, my subordinates are incompetent, I ......"

Liu Wenfeng looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Chief Lin, isn't it just to levy grain and grass?" We supplied from the local area according to the orders of the military headquarters, did these local officials still turn against the sky and disobey orders? If that's the case, let's go into the city at once, and arrest them all. ”

Lin Xiufeng was taken aback, groaned for a while, and couldn't help but squeak: "This, the county magistrate said that the county's current tax revenue can't even support the departments, let alone feed so many troops, if you really want to collect it, there is only the head on his head." ”

The tall sledgehammer couldn't help but sneer and said, "Huh? Playing this trick? I dare to cut off the devil's head, he is a county magistrate, we don't dare to accept it, what a joke. After that, he said to the stone: "Stone, you give a word, as long as you give an order, let alone a county magistrate, I will take the brothers to wash the blood in the whole Yifeng." ”

The stone waved his hand at the tall sledgehammer, and said to Lin Xiufeng: "Brother Lin has run back and forth twice, it's really hard, let's go and rest first, what kind of county magistrate is this, I'll go and meet him in person." ”

Lin Xiufeng hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard. ”

At this time, Hu Zi said: "Commander, I took the brothers of the cavalry battalion into the city with you, I want to see what is different about their group. ”

Shi looked at his murderous appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Since leaving Jiejiawan, the brothers have been fighting, and now that the battle is over, it is natural to have a good rest, just such a trivial matter, where do you need to trouble the cavalry battalion, I just take a few with me." ”

Liu Wenfeng immediately shouted on the side: "How can this work? Stone: What is your current identity? If you go out alone, how can you rest assured, brothers? Let the monkey and Xiao Shandong go with the guard company, and it will be convenient to deal with anything. Besides, the commander of our independent regiment can't be too cold when he goes out, right. ”

"Yes, yes, what the madman brother said is right, when the regiment commander goes out, how can there be no brothers from our regimental headquarters?" Li Wenguang also shouted on the side.

Shi Shi looked at their strength to follow the group, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Then take the guard company with you, but I can say it in advance, without my order, you don't mess around, otherwise, the military law will deal with it." ”

After leaving the headquarters, Shi called Cheng Yong over again, and seeing that there was no one around, he couldn't help asking, "Did you hear any news?" ”

Cheng Yong nodded, then looked around, and then whispered: "Tuanzuo, I heard that Tuanfu was drunk last night, and when I got up in the morning, I found that the second aunt of a wealthy businessman was sleeping next to him. ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and at the same time snorted coldly in his mouth: "This kind of cheap means actually dares to be used on the brothers in our group, and these people are not small. However, the two women want to change the grain and grass of a regiment, and this abacus is inevitably too fine, right? ”

Cheng Yong was no longer silent, after staying by the side of the stone for so long, he still understood a lot of taboos, some things, even if he heard it, he had to pretend not to hear it, let alone talk about it. It is precisely because he knows how to advance and retreat that he can win the trust of the stone, and he became the commander of the guard company at a young age. This position is not only brave enough to fight, but also to be able to use his brain, and he has to be the person that the stone trusts the most.

"Let's go, we'll meet them when we go into town." After a deep groan, the stone said with a murderous expression.

Shi didn't take the car, and the two military vehicles arranged by Zhou Zhidao last time, one was used by Wu Zihuai, and the other was thrown at the regiment headquarters. He prefers to ride horses, so that he can be closer to his brothers, and secondly, the feeling of being in control is also reassuring. Beside him, Li Wenguang, Xiao Shandong, and Cheng Yong followed closely on horseback, they were the same age as Shishi, and they were all in high positions, especially Li Wenguang, who had already hung up the rank of lieutenant colonel at this moment and was promoted to battalion commander. After being promoted to the commander of a battalion, Li Wenguang, who felt a heavy responsibility, also became steady and solid as he had done his previous frivolity, and in addition to the experience of countless bloody battles in the past two years, his young and handsome face was a little more resolute, and there was quite a momentum of not being angry but powerful in his calmness.

Xiao Shandong on the side is relatively relaxed and active, has been the stone "excessive" care, so that he has never been able to display his talents, the previous successive battles and now promoted to the battalion, let him be very happy, he is not the kind of person who is heavy in his heart, the joy in his heart is also a natural reaction on the face, making him look like he is smiling all day long, at a glance there are happy things, at this moment is no exception, he is full of smile and constantly observing, looking at everything is very good-looking. His expression naturally made Shi shake his head, this kid, he still needs to be tempered! Thinking of this, Shi also felt that his previous thoughts were a bit overkill, in fact, he should have been allowed to serve in the battalion company below, and staying by his side would have affected his growth.

Beside them, the soldiers of the guard company walked neatly and headed straight towards Yifeng City with their heads held high. Although they rarely train any queue of honor guards, but the kind of tacit understanding cultivated under the influence of blood and fire on the battlefield is more effective than any training, they march all the way, even if there is no deliberate action, but whether it is the pace of march or the swing of the arms are neatly like a person, especially the kind of fierce aura cultivated after a hundred battles, even with the distance of the old distance, it makes people feel a sense of fright.

The common people along the way have long been stunned by the military appearance of this army, they are used to seeing the chaotic army, and they are used to seeing the crooked and twisted national army troops, how have they ever seen this kind of heroic and majestic and murderous troops? Just this sense of neatness of a hundred people as one person made them feel that the army in front of them was far from being comparable to ordinary troops.

Naturally, the county has already gotten the news! On the other hand, the matter of urging grain and grass during this period of time also affected the nerves of the officials and wealthy businessmen in the city, so that they put all their minds on this army outside the city. In the past, Yifeng was not without the experience of being temporarily classified as a military county, and during the war years, where there were battles, such an expedient measure would not be less. But this group of officials and men in the city is the first time to encounter such a force in front of them, the army is neat and disciplined, and the whole army is like an iron plate, without the slightest gap to drill. Moreover, they have been here for three months, not to mention the commanders, even the soldiers under their jurisdiction have basically not entered the city, and this kind of military discipline has made them feel tricky and difficult for the first time.

Therefore, just after sending off the young deputy regiment commander, he received the news that someone from the military camp outside the city was coming again, the county magistrate Xiong Cheng also put down the affairs at hand and greeted several county officials, among these people, there was Cai Yuanqing, the minister of the Self-Defense Corps who came to investigate the situation, he had seen Shi Yifang at the beginning, and knew that he was the commander of this army, and now he saw Shi sitting on a horse from a distance, with a straight military uniform and a solemn expression, and hurriedly whispered to the county magistrate on the side.

"I don't know that the head of the independent regiment came to the county in person, and really let the cheap land shine, and Xiong Cheng, the magistrate of Yifeng County, led the section chiefs to welcome him here." Xiong Cheng is about fifty years old, wearing a dark blue tunic suit, his gray hair is neatly combed, and he has a pair of glasses on his nose.

Shi had already inquired about the situation in the city through the brothers of the reconnaissance company, and he already knew a lot about Yifeng, and he knew that this Xiongcheng was not only the county magistrate, but also the head of the local Xiong family in Yifeng. While looking at the richest man in Yifeng, Xiong Cheng also looked at this young regiment commander who had never met again, the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became, the person opposite was inevitably too young, but at the age of twenty-two or three, he actually hung the rank of major general, held the position of regiment commander, and commanded thousands of brothers. Being young represents the infinity of the early stage, this kind of person, Xiong Cheng only glanced at it and came to the conclusion that he could only make friends and not offend.

The stone turned over and dismounted, and Li Wenguang and the others beside him also dismounted, no need for language, and no need for communication, but that kind of neat and uniform action, as if it had been tempered by a thousand tempers, just glanced at it, and deeply shocked everyone in front of them. Shi bowed with his hand and said to Xiong Cheng: "County Magistrate Xiong, I have admired the name for a long time, the regiment is busy with military affairs, and there are many miscellaneous matters, and it is really rude to come to visit the door until today, how dare you work the county magistrate to greet me, it really torments me." For the sake of the young and knowledgeable officials, please bear with the county magistrate Xiong! ”
