After Lao Pang came out of Chen's mansion, he rode straight to the barracks in a carriage, and Old Man Chen ordered him to exterminate the bandits in the area of Changzhi County, and he needed some manpower to complete this task.

In that place in Changzhi County, he knew that Zhuze Village, the hometown of Old Man Chen, was under the jurisdiction of Changzhi County, and Zhuze Village was dozens of miles away from Jiaoyang City, the capital of the Jiaoyang Empire, and fifty or sixty miles away from Changzhi County, and the three were not in a straight line.

Although Changzhi County is only a small county, it is only more than a hundred miles away from Jiaoyang City after all, and it is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven. There are still bandits in the place near the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they must all be helping the most vicious people.

However, I think there should not be many people who dare to be bandits a hundred miles away from the capital of the Sun Empire, at most one or two hundred. Lao Pang only needs to go to the military camp to dispatch a few hundred elite soldiers, and it will be more than enough to exterminate the bandits in that area.

......

Outside the city of Jiaoyang, more than ten miles to the east is stationed the camp of the Eastern Army of the Jiaoyang army.

A carriage was parked outside the barracks, and there was a banner on the carriage, and the flag was embroidered with thorns around it, and on it was an iron sword that cut the thorns, and in the middle of the flag was written a large Chinese character.

This iron sword and thorn is the emblem of the Chen Mansion in the Bright Sun Empire, symbolizing that Chen Junyao is the person who cuts off all chaos in the empire, and no one dares to pretend to be this emblem, so when he sees this iron sword and thorns, he knows that it is the person of the Chen Mansion.

As soon as the sergeant standing guard at the entrance of the barracks saw the carriage coming, he immediately went in to inform the commander. When the person in charge of the Eastern Army barracks arrived at the gate of the barracks, Lao Pang had already gotten off the carriage.

"Steward Pang! I don't know that Steward Pang is coming, and the last general will be disappointed!" The person who came was the person in charge of the highest-ranking position in the military camp of the Eastern Army, named Liu Ping. Liu Ping knew Lao Pang, after all, Lao Pang was the person next to Old Man Chen, and he was a figure in the army at the same time as Chen Junyao.

Although he has no official position, the orders that Old Man Chen usually gives are notified by Lao Pang, and it can be said that Lao Pang's identity is the representative of Old Man Chen, so it is normal for Liu Ping to call himself the last general in front of Lao Pang.

"Oh, General Liu! It's okay, I've just arrived!" Lao Pang immediately ordered the coachman: "Okay, you can go back first!"

Seeing that Lao Pang directly asked the coachman to drive the carriage back first, Liu Ping knew that the order given by the old marshal this time was probably unusual, because usually Lao Pang took the carriage back home after informing the old marshal's order. This time, Lao Pang actually asked the coachman to go back first, while he stayed in the barracks.

"Hehe, Steward Pang, dare to ask Old Marshal Chen what he commanded?" Liu Ping asked Old Pang.

"It's not a big deal, General Liu knows about the recent bandits in Changzhi County. Lao Pang didn't say what he came this time for, but asked Liu Ping if he knew about the bandits in Changzhi County.

"This ...... But I haven't heard of it, Steward Pang, you also know, these troublesome bandits are never in our hands! We just have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!" Liu Ping thought about how this Steward Pang asked himself about this matter, and it was not in my charge, it was the local official's business.

"It's true that it wasn't under your control before, and I don't know if it will be under your control in the future, but this time you have to take care of it. ”

"Oh, what instructions does the old marshal have, please make it clear to Steward Pang!"

"General Liu, do you know that the marshal's hometown, Zhuze Village, is under the jurisdiction of Changzhi County?" asked Lao Pang.

"I don't know!"

"Before the marshal entered the army, he had a very close friend in his hometown. The bandits in the Changzhi area killed the son and daughter-in-law of a friend, a marshal, last month. The county magistrate of Changzhi County had no way to deal with this gang of bandits, and just today, the marshal's friend had already approached the government to ask the marshal to take action. Lao Pang said these things to Liu Ping lightly.

Liu Ping was shocked when he heard these things from Lao Pang's mouth, but he didn't expect that the matter of making thieves in such a small place would be so complicated.

Immediately, Liu Ping said with an angry face: "This group of thieves is really bold, and the Son of Heaven dares to do such a rebellious thing." ”

"Steward Pang, the last general implores Old Marshal Chen to let the last general lead his troops to Changzhi County to exterminate this gang of lawless bandits. Then Liu Ping expressed his mind to Lao Pang.

Lao Pang nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, General Liu, it's just a gang of bandits, why do you need General Liu to go out in person? Not to mention that this Eastern Army camp still needs General Liu to be in charge!"

"This ......" Liu Ping showed a look of regret.

"General Liu's mind, I will upload it to the marshal afterwards. Please also ask General Liu to guard the camp with peace of mind!" Lao Pang said to Liu Ping that he would say good things for him afterwards, and then took out a token from his arms, "General Liu, this is the marshal's token, and General Liu will send hundreds of soldiers with me to clear out the bandits!"

"Hehe, Steward Pang is polite! Steward Pang, please wait a moment, the last general will go to count the five hundred elite soldiers and you will go to Changzhi County to clear the bandits. Liu Ping invited Lao Pang to sit and wait in the military tent, and then went to order troops.

After a cup of tea, Liu Ping returned to the tent, "Steward Pang, five hundred elite soldiers have now been assembled outside the tent, Steward Pang, please go to the tent with the last general to review." ”

Out of the military tent, the five hundred elite soldiers outside were already standing in a square waiting in a square.

"All the soldiers, Steward Pang beside Marshal Chen, everyone should know each other!" Liu Ping opened his mouth to admonish.

"Yes!" replied the soldiers in a neat voice.

"Steward Pang came this time to give an order from Marshal Chen, and the bandits in the area of Changzhi County made a rebellion, and these bold bandits actually killed the son and daughter-in-law of a close friend of Marshal Chen. This time, I will let you follow this Steward Pang to exterminate the bandits, what do you think?" Liu Ping conveyed the content of this mission to the soldiers.

"Guaranteed successful completion of the mission!" the uniform voice sounded again.
