Outside the East City Gate, the vigorous recruitment of money has ended.

Li Xingchen has recruited more than 2,300 new soldiers, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.

Now all it takes is to form a new battalion and get the recruits into training.

At this time, Yang Furen and a group of officials were waiting in the county government.

Seeing Li Xingchen walking in, he immediately got up to greet him.

"Li Dutong, your generosity today is really an eye-opener for the old man!"

"Yang Gong has won the award."

Li Xingchen said modestly.

"Li Dutong doesn't have to be humble, you can think of the method of Ximu Lixin to recruit troops, it's really clever!"

"What Fan Xiancheng said is very true, Pingcheng is guarded by Li Dutong, and it will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time from now on!"

"Yes, even if we face the Gao Mountain Bandits in the future, we will be able to deal with them in Pingcheng......"

"All of this depends on Li Dutong!"

Under the guidance of Fan Sheng and Qi Guanzhong.

A number of county government officials expressed their appreciation to Li Xingchen.

Although they are not sincere in what they say, they have to show their attitude in the face of the fait and fait situation.

"Colleagues, I only hope that some people can recognize the situation and stop hiding in the shadows like a scourge and making waves!"

Li Xingchen looked around at the officials, and finally fell on Tang Peng: "If there is a next time, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price." ”

"Li Dutong, who are you threatening?"

Tang Peng's eyes narrowed.

"I don't need to threaten anyone, it's just a warning!"

Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If Tang Dianshi is not convinced, you can try again!" ”

"Li Dutong, you just need to make drastic reforms and armaments."

Yang Furen stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "If anything happens in the future, there will be an old man to carry the Ding for you!" ”

"Thank you Yang Gong!"

Li Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.

With Yang Furen's support, he can really let go of his hands and feet in the future and change Pingcheng's long-lax armament.

Next.

The people began to discuss the new barracks.

In the end, it was unanimously decided to restart the Shuofang camp, which had been abandoned for several years.

After choosing the address, Li Xingchen immediately led people to Shuofang Camp.

The Shuofang camp is located in the Shuofang Valley outside Pingcheng.

It is surrounded by mountains and has a wide area, and only one road at the mouth of the valley can enter and exit.

Undoubtedly, such an environment is the most suitable for training soldiers.

Although the original barracks have long been dilapidated, the overall framework is still there.

Therefore, Li Xingchen took a fancy to this place at a glance.

Under his orders, Xiong Tonghai led a group of officials to start renovating and cleaning.

After several hours of busy work, Shuofang Camp finally had the appearance of a military camp.

On the second day.

Horse-drawn carts pulled grain, grass, materials, weapons and equipment, and entered the Shuofang camp in an endless stream.

This long-dormant valley has been completely renewed.

On the third day.

As more and more people tidy up the barracks, makeshift tents and granaries were erected on the ground.

In less than half a day, a camp with deep ditches and walls appeared on the huge valley.

At the same time, Xiong Tonghai led more than 2,000 new soldiers and began to enter the camp in a mighty way.

Inside a large tent of the Chinese army.

Li Xingchen is writing a new method of military training.

At this time, Xiong Tonghai strode in and bowed his hand.

"Qiyu is unified, all the new soldiers recruited the day before yesterday entered the village as promised, and only one person missed the appointment!"

"What's the name of the new pawn? Can the reason for the no-show be identified? ”

Li Xingchen looked up at Xiong Tonghai and asked in a deep voice.

Xiong Tonghai replied: "The new pawn who missed the appointment is Du Feilong who unveiled the letter of sue Yong. ”

"Du Feilong? How could he break the appointment? ”

Li Xingchen frowned.

Xiong Tonghai said: "Steward Cai has already gone to Huangquan Village to investigate the reason, and it must not take long to clarify the specific details." ”

Li Xingchen said with a solemn gaze: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." ”

According to the performance of that day, the last person who should miss the appointment is Du Feilong.

After all, Du Feilong has a simple temperament, and he is the one who unveiled the letter of indictment.

If even he misses the appointment, it will be equivalent to Chiguoguo's slap in the face Li Xingchen.

Those newcomers who don't know the details will also think that Du Feilong is the trust invited by Li Xingchen.

In case of rumors spread by well-intentioned people, it may even affect the morale of the new soldiers.

"Tutong means...... Someone else is getting in the way? ”

"Very likely, after all, Du Feilong is a breakthrough in our recruitment, if he doesn't come to the appointment, the person who is secretly making trouble can just use this to hit my prestige!"

Li Xingchen's words had just finished speaking.

There was a commotion outside the tent.

"Quick...... Get people inside! ”

"Steward Cai, this person is injured like this, I'm afraid he can't be saved."

"You are a military doctor appointed by the capital, and you must save Du Feilong no matter what!"

"Do your best!"

Hear these conversations.

Li Xingchen hurriedly got up and walked out of the big tent, and Xiong Tonghai immediately followed.

I saw a tent not far away.

Cai Jing was negotiating with a military doctor, and beside him were two servants carrying a stretcher, on which lay Du Feilong, covered in blood.

Li Xingchen strode over.

"Meet the Commander!"

Cai Jinghe and the military doctor immediately bowed their hands.

"Elder Wu, you take the injured in to rescue first!"

"Obedience!"

Doctor Wu got up and led the two officials into the camp.

Li Xingchen asked, "Steward Cai, who was Du Feilong injured?" ”

"Li Dutong, Du Feilong's family is really miserable......"

Cai Jing said with a sad face: "His seriously ill old mother and sister were killed last night, not to mention, even their bodies were burned to charcoal, after the subordinates saw all this, they hurriedly took people to the mountain to search for Du Feilong's whereabouts, and finally found the seriously injured Du Feilong at the bottom of a cliff......"

Li Xingchen was furious when he heard this, gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you found out who the murderer is?" ”

"According to eyewitnesses in Huangquan Village, there were five perpetrators."

Speaking of this, Cai Jing fell to his knees suddenly: "They call themselves ...... claimed to be on your orders to kill Du Feilong's family! ”

"I'm!"

When Xiong Tonghai heard this, he grinned angrily: "Not to mention that these thieves killed the old and weak, they dared to pour dirty water on the capital, and their hearts can be punished!" ”

"Lao Xiong, Lao Cai, you two quickly go and find out these five murderers and the masterminds behind the scenes!"

Li Xingchen's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said with a murderous awe: "No matter how high the status of the mastermind behind the scenes, I will kill today!" ”

This is the second time he has been splashed with dirty water.

On that day, he was framed as a rape and murderer in Beijing.

But now that he has arrived in Pingcheng, there are still people who use this kind of clumsy trick to deal with him.

This couldn't help but make him even more annoyed.

If he can't get rid of the evil this time, then wouldn't he be a seven-foot man!

"Subordinates obey!"

Xiong Tonghai and Cai Jing took the order.

Immediately, he took twenty officials and went straight to Huangquan Village.
