Under Wu Feng's order, the soldiers of the white-clothed battalion set up tents in an open area near the leeward of the water and camped in the open air.

In order to cultivate their ability to construct fortifications, although they were not in danger of being attacked by the enemy, Wu Feng also asked them to cut down trees and build simple walls.

The soldiers who marched all day couldn't help complaining, but under Wu Feng's majestic oppression and the dispatch of Xin Standby and Song Shannei, they still obediently went to cut down trees one by one.

Most of these soldiers were slaves, and since they could serve tea and water, they should also be able to cut down trees, but compared to other samurai, they had a sense of superiority and felt that this kind of thing should not be done by themselves.

Most of the people were unskilled, and it took a while to set up the camp, draw water to make a fire, and bury the pot to make food.

The hastily made big pot of rice, accompanied by only a few pieces of pickled vegetables and spicy radish, of course, the taste is not much better, not only a group of old soldiers are not used to eating, but Wu Feng himself is not very adaptable. Forget the Valley is known for its wealth, and the food is very good, even if it is the dry food brought during the trial, the taste is much better than this half-cooked big pot of rice.

But as the commander, Wu Feng had to set an example, pretending to eat very well, and picking up a big bowl of rice three times and dividing five by two, like a wind and clouds, and adding another bowl.

"The food was a little rougher, but it was still edible, and it was quite chewy. When the army is out, there are times of pleasure, but there are more times of suffering, if there is a shortage of food, grass roots and bark have to be eaten, and now we have white rice to eat, which is good. Wu Feng said to the soldiers.

Only then did the soldiers realize that the suffering they had to endure while marching outside was many times better than that of their slaves and maidservants serving tea and pouring water in Iwakura Castle.

The physical fitness of the samurai is far superior to that of ordinary people, and walking with heavy weights is generally not a pain. But they have always been big fish and meat, and if they want to eat this big pot of rice mixed with pickles to satisfy their hunger, they will undoubtedly suffer.

But everyone took Wu Feng's bounty and came to Hedong for more rewards, and this step has been taken. I couldn't go back.

Wu Feng boosted his morale at the right time and said: "Everyone, how can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? Moreover, if we do a good job in suppressing bandits and eliminating criminals, and we have won the trust of the local people, there will definitely be high-ranking giants who will come to the door and marry with our white-clothed battalion to strengthen the relationship. At that time, wouldn't it be more beautiful to marry a lady with clean water and spirit?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many soldiers lit up.

Although they are just ordinary soldiers, they also have a desire for fame.

The slave of Iwakura's powerful people is a slave after all, and he must have an inferiority complex in his heart.

For men, the conquest of women whose status is much higher than their own can bring great pleasure. Therefore, in the chaos and plunder, the well-informed ladies often bear the brunt of the violation.

However, the bullying is only a short-term pleasure. If it can be done by normal means. With his own ability and status to monopolize the woman whose identity is higher than himself, that pleasure can last for a long time. "Candle Night in the Cave Room" is on a par with "When the Gold List is Titled", which is exactly the case.

Wu Feng's words meant that not only did he not help soldiers marry abroad, but he would also solve the problem of lifelong events for them, which undoubtedly effectively won the hearts of the people.

But now his words and preaching, compared with those famous generals who move the world, obviously lack a surging momentum, and lack a kind of incitement that penetrates the hearts of the people. Now the soldiers' fear of him mostly comes from his wrists.

After all. There are more than 100 people in the heavenly house, and the blood stains are still fresh.

......

The first destination of the Baiyi camp was Pingyang City, where the county seat of Hedong County was located.

Pingyang, also known as Linfen. It is as famous as Taiyuan, and it is a famous big city in the state, with a city wall of more than 15 meters.

Like Luoyi and Chang'an, the city walls are more than 20 meters high, and they can be called giant cities. In a big city like Binh Duong, there are only a few in a state.

This small force marched outside the city of Binh Duong and was stopped by the guards guarding the gate armed with Changge.

"Phew. Where did you come from, and what are you doing here?"

"We are the white-clothed battalion of His Royal Highness Iwakura, and I have received an order from above to come to Hedong to exterminate the bandits, please inform me. Wu Feng said, showing the edict issued by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"White Camp ...... It seems that the county guard has said that Yuzhou is going to send a small army over. The guard at the gate nodded, and with a glance, another guard galloped toward the city.

Soon after, the county guard of Hedong County brought a few people to inspect it.

There were also many soldiers on the city wall, but they all looked lazy, leaning their weapons and bodies against the battlements, and they didn't bother to take a look when they saw the county guard of Hedong County coming. Obviously, most of the soldiers were from the local wealthy families of Hedong County, and they didn't take the county guards sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty seriously at all.

The people of the state are fierce, and these local snakes are known for their strong independence.

After the county guard verified the edict and documents, he let Wu Feng and his party enter the city.

This county guard's surname is Liu, his name is Liu Junfeng, he was born with a white face, quiet writing, and his cultivation seems to be average, and he is indeed not a character who can suppress people.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has limited control over Hedong County, and if a ruthless character is sent, it may have a rebellious effect.

"It is really an honor for Commander Xie and his entourage to come to our Hedong. Liu someone has lost his welcome, I hope you will forgive me...... Speaking of which, the banditry in this state is really too fierce, and it is indeed time to rectify it. Liu Junfeng said.

The bandits in Bingzhou and the ringing horses in Shandong are well-known for their fierceness, and the wolf thieves at the beginning can run rampant in the state without that little power, and the bigger bandits naturally don't need to be said.

These bandits are running around committing crimes, and the base areas are hidden and difficult to find. Although the local wealthy clans were also ordered to exterminate, the local snakes had their own territories, and once a wealthy clan sent troops through the territories of other wealthy clans, the other party would be suspicious of annexing them, and under the mutual containment, they often could not do anything.

Therefore, this kind of thing is more stable for out-of-state people who are difficult to establish roots in the local area.

"Hey, Liu Jun is polite. In fact, Xie is also from Hedong, and when he came back this time, he just returned to his hometown to do things. Wu Feng arched his hand, and talked about his background in the Valley of Forgetfulness.

"Haha...... I see, I see. After Liu Junfeng placed the soldiers, he set up a banquet for Wu Feng and Xin to wait for a few people to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

The banquet was staggered, and the guests and hosts were happy. Liu Junfeng has no real power in his hands, so naturally there is no need to make things difficult for Wu Feng and others.

Knowing that Wu Feng was less than fourteen years old, Liu Junfeng praised at the moment: "Commander Xie is young, he holds real power, directs soldiers and horses, and has a dragon and phoenix appearance, his aura is extraordinary, and his future future should be unlimited!"

Wu Feng also said politely: "Thank you for your praise." Liu Junshou is very elegant, and his conversation is very different from the ordinary, and this Pingyang City is also well governed, which shows the means of the county guarding and governing the people. In time, we will definitely be able to see the county guard rise to the top, such as wind power. ”

Liu Junfeng was complimented by Wu Feng, his face turned happy, and he asked again: "Where does Commander Xie plan to set up a camp? Although there is arable land outside Pingyang City, there is no vacant land......

Wu Feng waved his hand and said, "Thank you Liu Jun for your good intentions." However, since we are here to suppress bandits, we naturally have to set up camps in the hilly areas, and most of the bandits are hiding in the mountains of Luliang, and we are stationed at the junction of the mountains and the plains, so that we can take advantage of the proximity to catch thieves, and can effectively contact the outside world to obtain information and supplies. If you are on the edge of the city, you are here to have fun, so why should you come to the east of the river?"

From Liu Junfeng's words, Wu Feng clearly felt the meaning of temptation. Obviously, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not necessarily at ease even if it is a small army of 100 people, although the 100 people are small, but the Iwakura Hall behind it has a certain amount of power, if it is placed in Hedong County, it can be regarded as a huge among the wealthy clans.

But what Wu Feng needed was not land, but power, and had no intention of controlling the villages and towns in the plains.

Hearing Wu Feng's answer, Liu Junfeng couldn't help but praise him: "Although Commander Xie is young, he is really a person who does things. ”

Liu Junfeng looks like a more traditional reader, and he doesn't eat the style of celebrities and gentlemen. Wu Feng also replied to him with a glance.

What kind of song to sing on what mountain, this is the basic principle of life. It's just that when dealing with people like Liu Junfeng, Wu Feng always feels uncomfortable from his bones.

After the destruction of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, he saw Deng Aihou with his chest bare, and he actually had a special joy. After that, I felt deeply uncomfortable with red tape. This is the true nature hidden in his blood.

"Liu Jun praised the fallacy, everyone is a subject of the Great Zhou, and it is the duty of a courtier to do things well, to repay the kindness of the Yang Sect Lord and the king, and to be worthy of the common people. Wu Feng said perfunctorily.

"This is extremely true!" Liu Junfeng said, touching wine glasses with Wu Feng, and the two of them drank their own wines.

Liu Junfeng said again: "Before leaving, your army must prepare for a rest in Pingyang City, and meals can be served from the city, if necessary, but say to the subordinates, there is no need to be formal." ”

Wu Feng arched his hand and said: "Chengliu County is good, but we don't want to bother too much, and after about half a month's rest, we will set off for Luliang Mountain." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xin Standby and Song Shannei couldn't help but be confused.

Liu Junfeng must also be unhappy, the white-clothed battalion should have borne its own military expenses, but in this city, the supply is completely up to him. It is really unreasonable to have to take a break for half a month to suppress bandits.

He then asked, "Then the leaders of the various wealthy clans in the county, when will Commander Xie meet with them?"

An important reason why the white-clothed battalion wants to enter Pingyang City is to reach a tacit agreement with the wealthy clans under the coordination of the county guard, so as not to clash with the local local snakes in the coming days.

"Then choose the fourteenth day. Born in Hedong, there are still some miscellaneous things that have not been dealt with, and if they are done well, it will be easier to deal with these local bigwigs. Wu Feng said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
