With that, he turned around and took a brocade box from the shelf and handed it to He Lingchuan.

Inside is a piece of paper, a token.

"Congratulations, from now on, you are the Commander of He."

He Lingchuan thanked him and took it, grabbed the token and played with it over and over again. The day after he entered Panlong City, Zhong Shengguang and General Hong left the city, leaving only an order for him to go to Yuheng City to take up a new position.

Receiving the token means that he is on the same level as Xiao Maoliang. Even in Panlong City, such a few jumps are rare.

Wen Daolun was overjoyed when he saw him, and couldn't help but splash him with cold water: "Don't be happy first, it's often because the work is not good."

He Lingchuan was unimpressed: "Good work, where can I get my turn?"

In a year, from a small patrol guard to the commander of the Gale Army, is it not enough for him to stink?

But he also understands that once he is promoted to lead the army, his work and tasks are not simply fighting and killing.

A new trial has begun.

Wen Daolun said with a smile: "Commander Xiao did a good job, but Commander Zhong said that the northern front is still in a hurry to employ people, and it is just right for you to experience here."

He Lingchuan was very humble: "Master Wen taught me."

Wen Daolun, the commander, knew that in the future, he would be in charge of the planning and construction, finance, economy and trade, culture, and education of Yuhengcheng and its subordinate townships, and he would almost grasp it, but the military and political affairs should be placed in He Lingchuan's hands.

Yes, the garrison of Yuheng City, from recruitment to drills, to patrols and battles, will be controlled by He Lingchuan in the future!

In such troubled times, military power is greater than heaven.

This shows Zhong Shengguang's trust in He Lingchuan.

Such honors and favors are difficult for ordinary Gale Sergeants to enjoy.

Wen Daolun took him to the guard camp next door to watch the sand table, and explained:

"Our Yuheng City is in the easternmost part of Xiqi, and it is an important border town, across the river from Jinhan Kingdom. This river is the Inn River. After Xiqi was incorporated into Panlong City, Jin Han had been very nervous, and Chen Bing's border never retreated. When we went to the Inn River to fetch water and fish, we were often met with shouts and arrows from the other side."

He Lingchuan nodded.

Small countries like Jinhan and Xiqi originally had the support of Baling and Bejia, and they made it difficult and accusing Panlong City in every way. Xiqian was suddenly destroyed by Panlong City, and Jin Han was frightened, and it was difficult to guarantee that he had an overreaction.

"If it's just to defend against Jinhan, we don't need to go to great lengths to build Yuheng City." Wen Daolun didn't detour and cut straight to the point, "What Commander Zhong cares about is this Xiqian Trade Road—it has now been renamed the Takichuan Trade Road."

Zhong Shengguang wanted the word "Xiqi" to disappear from history completely, so even the names of places and trade routes had to be changed.

He Lingchuan said at the right time: "I heard that bandits are rampant in the south of Xiqi?"

Before Zhong Shengguang arrived, Panlong Huang was originally a safe haven for bandits. Later, this Mengren single-handedly created the Gale Army, and it took less than two years to sweep the entire Panlong Wasteland.

After defeating Zhu Erniang, the current Panlong Wasteland is basically firmly controlled by Panlong City, and I haven't heard from the bandits for a long time.

"Yes, Xiqi was originally only prosperous on the surface, although the southern part of the country is more abundant in water and soil, but there is no wasteland and no taxes here, so the original Xiqi country worked hard to manage the central and northern regions, and turned a blind eye to the southern bandits. Over time, the problem of piracy became more and more serious, and even threatened the trade routes between Sai Cheung and Pak Sha Wan."

It's not strange that there are bandits on the side of the trade road. Light and darkness go hand in hand, and every businessman understands that there are risks associated with doing business.

But when the bandits are waiting to take a big bite on you, when the risks outweigh the benefits, business travelers will naturally consider rerouting or giving up.

Then the benefits brought by this trade route to the host will be greatly reduced, not only will the flow of trade goods be affected, but the towns and villages along the trade route will have no source of vitality.

for this was the trouble of Sirvan; After the capture of Xiqi, this became a problem for Panlong City.

"There must be some reason why the officers and soldiers of Xiqi can't defeat the bandits, right?"

"The crux of the matter is in Takigawa." Wen Daolun pointed to the southeast position on the sand table, "The bandits you captured are indeed from Takigawa."

He enlarged the sand table, He Ling

Sichuan saw that there was a large area of water in the southeast corner of Xiqi, that is, on the east side of the trade road.

"It's ...... Lake?" Good fellow, this must be one or two hundred lakes, right? Big and small, dotted all over the place.

The southeast of Xiqi is actually an out-and-out water town.

"Yes, this was originally a land of fish and rice, about half the size of the Chipa Plateau, and it is also rich in products, and there are even salt wells. Later, there were several turmoils, and Xiqian was not able to manage it properly, and it became the situation it is today." Wen Daolun smiled bitterly, "There are one hundred and seventy-six lakes in Takigawa, and there are more than fifty bandits nesting in them, so it can be said that there is chaos!"

He Lingchuan didn't move his eyebrows: "They all make a living by robbing trade routes?"

Picking wool from a single sheep?

"They live in the Takigawa River, and they usually farm and fish, and they are bandits when they ride horses and roar around. Of course, it is not only the southern trade routes that are robbed, but also the villages in the central and northern regions, and sometimes even go to Jinhan to fight the autumn breeze." Wen Daolun shook his head, "The people and bandits are one, this is the difficulty of extermination. Xirui tried many times, but they all returned with a feather, and it is said that the two generals of the Huyan family were folded in Takigawa. Then they just let it go."

The combat effectiveness of these bandits is not weak, He Lingchuan just fought with them on the way here, and he experienced it personally.

Although it is said that the Gale Army wins...... Nonsense, the Gale Army has experienced a hundred battles, and it is not afraid of the regular coalition forces of Shangbaling and Xianyou. If this is the original Xiqi army to suppress it, the victory rate with the bandits is *** open, the bandit four, because the equipment and weapons are poor.

If the battle takes place in Takigawa, which is the bandits' hometown, the situation may be reversed.

"These gangs are big and small, some are up and down, right?" Where there are people, there must be a distinction between up and down, high and low, high and low, He Lingchuan has no doubt about this.

"Of course." Wen Daolun nodded, "There are several big gangs in Takigawa, and it is said that other bandit dens will pay tribute to them, whether it is looting or fishing."

He Lingchuan sneered, "I really think of myself as the Emperor of the Earth."

"But Xirui has been ignoring them for a long time, and we are new to the city, so we don't know much about the internal situation in Takigawa."

He Lingchuan understood, "This is my duty."

Wen Daolun said again: "By the way, since the destruction of the Xiqi Kingdom, there are a few more bandits in Takichuan."

He Lingchuan reacted quickly: "Those who refuse to surrender have led the remnants into Takigawa?"

"Yes, we captured the Xiqi Palace too quickly, and some of the Xiqi generals didn't react, and the country was destroyed, and they refused to surrender. In the past few months, Commander Xiao has been busy leading the army to quell the rebellion and defeating several troops. But these remnants gathered up again and hid in the Takigawa River."

"It's really everyone going to Takigawa." He Lingchuan touched his chin, "Interesting."
