Chapter 10: Arrival at Black Bear Castle

Du Xuan was going to Black Bear Castle, and the only person who was unhappy was Du Changgeng's wife, Luo Xifeng.

"The third son has never been far away since he was a child, so what's wrong with letting An Anxin study? What if we get hurt? Now the brute dog is eyeing us Daqi, and a few days ago he caught so many fine works, I think the brute dog is beating our Chiyang Wei's idea. Don't you want his life when you let the third son out at this time?" Luo Xifeng has been complaining incessantly since the morning.

Although Du Changgeng did not argue with his wife, he never wavered in his determination. As a father, Du Changgeng may not be so ruthless to his son, but as a commander, he knows that there are some things he must not waver.

"You still don't know about the third son. Miko himself wants to go out. As a father, I naturally want to fulfill his wishes. Although the Black Bear Fort was a little harder, it was far from the battle line, and few wild dogs would run there. Du Changgeng could only patiently comfort his wife.

"Even if it's very few, it means that there are still wild dogs who will pass. Luo Xifeng said with tears in his eyes.

"The third son is a centurion, and he has more than a hundred soldiers in his hands. Other centurions could only bring a hundred soldiers, but I asked him to bring a dozen more. Du Changgeng said.

"Don't think you can fool me. I know that the third son is all recruits. The veterans of Fort Black Bear have long since been taken away by you. You hurry up and draw dozens of guards from the escort camp. Otherwise, if something happens to the third son, the old lady will settle accounts with you. Luo Xifeng said.

"You don't want me? It's the third son himself who refuses to ask for it. He had to train himself. The third son is right, the veteran has the benefits of a veteran, he can fight, but he is also unruly, the third son is a weak scholar, just because I am Du Changgeng's son, I can convince those old fritters? Du Changgeng said.

Du Xuan was ready to say goodbye to his parents today, so he led his troops to Black Bear Fort to take over the defense. Du Xuan was wearing a mountain armor, and he looked very energetic. As I walked, I heard only the clanging of armor and weapons.

"Mother, I'm going to Black Bear Fort today, don't worry, I'll come back to see my mother often. Mother, you take care of your body. Du Xuan also left home for the first time, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, but the man's ambition was in all directions, and Du Xuan's heart had already flown to the Black Bear Castle hundreds of miles away.

Outside Du Mansion, Du Xuan's more than 100 soldiers were already ready to go, a month ago, they were still recruits, but now, they have a certain momentum. Standing there, silent.

Most of the Chiyangwei were born in military families and were well-informed, but when they looked at the military appearance of the sergeants of this battalion, they knew that the sergeants of this battalion had already been trained in the prototype, and if they could sharpen themselves in the war, they would definitely be able to become a strong army.

Du Changgeng was very satisfied with Du Xuan's performance in the past month or so, first cleared the hidden dangers of Chiyangwei, and wiped out all the details, so that Chiyangwei had no worries. Then, Du Xuan's training results, Du Changgeng was also very satisfied. Originally, he thought that Du Xuan was a scholar and would not lead troops to fight, but he didn't expect that after less than a month of training, Du Xuan would be able to train a battalion of recruits to develop a little combat power. The soldiers of Du Xuan's battalion, although their combat effectiveness is still very insufficient, is already very orderly. If this continues, this battalion led by Du Xuan will definitely become an important combat force of Chiyangwei in the future.

"It's a pity, it would have been nice to let the third son lead the troops earlier. Du Changgeng was very sorry. If Du Xuan had led the troops earlier, he might have brought out a strong army. Even if the barbarians fight, this guy can be invincible with the strength in his hands.

"Father, we're ready. After Du Xuan finished the queue, he ran over.

"Open up!" Du Changgeng shouted.

Du Xuan jumped onto the back of the golden-veined brute tiger and waved his hand: "Go! Target, Black Bear Castle!"

After walking for two hours, Du Xuanying felt the Black Bear Castle. The defenders of Black Bear Fort had already made preparations, and as soon as Du Xuan's camp arrived, they handed over to Du Xuan, and couldn't wait to throw the pot to Du Xuan and leave in a hurry.

"This is Black Bear Fort?" Du Xuan looked around, feeling deceived. There is no fort here, just a dilapidated house. There was wasteland all around, and no crops were planted. I don't know what the garrison here ate to survive before.

Du Feng seems to have heard about the conditions of Black Bear Fort: "The land here in Black Bear Fort is very barren, there is no crop at all, and there is often a shortage of water, so the defenders here basically do not settle the fields, and mainly rely on hunting in the mountains, and sell the hunted brute meat in exchange for rations." ”

"How can that be done, what about the defense of this castle?" Du Xuan asked.

"Black Bear Fort is so remote here, and it's not a strategic place, so the brute dog won't run over at all. Even if they came, there were only a few dilapidated houses here, and they didn't even have a stutter, so they had to be evacuated obediently in the end. Du Feng said.

"No, I can't. I don't care what happened to Fort Black Bear before, but now that I'm here, Fort Black Bear can't be the same anymore. There is a lot of wasteland around here, and we have reclaimed it. The walls of the Black Bear Fort also had to be built. Du Feng, if you want to find a way to get a group of homeless people to come over, you still have to recruit homeless people to do such chores. Du Xuan said.

"Third son, I'm afraid there is no way to recruit homeless people here. The conditions here are so harsh that the displaced people don't want to come. Du Feng said embarrassedly.

"There are enough brute beasts here, will anyone be willing to come?" Du Xuan glared at Du Feng.

"Give the outcasts and brute beasts meat to eat?" Du Feng asked incredulously.

"Yes, as long as they are willing to come, give them brute meat to eat. Enough!" Du Xuan said.

Du Xuan was also helpless to do this. Hunting brute beasts can train soldiers, but letting the sergeants engage in construction and farming will only make the sergeants useless. This battalion finally got a prototype, and Du Xuan would not let all his previous efforts be in vain.

Du Xuan was also very glad that he brought new soldiers, if he brought a battalion of veterans over, and when he arrived in this desperate place, he would definitely not be able to command those soldiers. Now that he brought up the soldiers in this battalion, and with Yang Wancai and a group of backbones, Du Xuan has firmly controlled the soldiers of this battalion.

Therefore, Du Xuan gave an order, and the soldiers of the whole battalion immediately took action and cleaned up the temporary residence first.

Du Feng was driven back by Du Xuan to fool the homeless people when he arrived at Black Bear Fort, so there was no one around Du Xuan, and he even had to clean up his own residence.

Fortunately, Yang Wancai was still clever, and when he saw that Du Xuan was about to clean up his residence, he hurriedly brought two people over to help Du Xuan clean up his residence.

"Third son, we have to arrange a hunt tomorrow, otherwise the rations we brought here won't be able to eat for a few days. The previous guard battalion left us with nothing. Yang Wancai said.

"Tomorrow the whole camp will hunt, and leave a team of guards. "Du Xuan has to prepare for the next homeless people who will come. Once the homeless people are fooled here, Du Xuan must leave the people behind. Fort Black Bear must have more inhabitants for radical change to be possible. Du Xuan believed that Du Changgeng asked him to come over, and he definitely didn't just want him to come over to hone himself. Fort Black Bear doesn't make much strategic sense now, and once Fort Black Bear has undergone a fundamental change, who can say whether Fort Black Bear still makes sense?

On the same day, Du Xuan led the whole battalion of soldiers to clean up the Black Bear Fort, which made the Black Bear Fort change all of a sudden. Although the house is still in a dilapidated state, it has become cleaner, and the surrounding grass has been cut off, making Fort Black Bear look less barren.

Xu Dongchu was a little worried: "Team Yang, we will always stay here in the future?"

Yang Wancai smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible? The third prince is the most favored son of the commander, how can he be willing to let his precious son suffer?"

"That's right. It's just that I'm a little worried. Don't let us stay here forever. Xu Dongchu said.

"It's good here, the third prince is a warlock and can heal. is injured here, and the third son can directly heal the injury. It's hard to get a sorcerer who can heal in a normal barracks. Yang Wancai said.

After Du Xuan arranged for everyone, he had been studying a map of animal skins. This animal skin map roughly depicts the terrain of Chiyangwei. But this picture is so rough that it is not even marked with Black Bear Fort.

Du Xuan looked at the map again and again, then drew it with a pen for a while, and then marked the place name where it was drawn. Fort Black Bear is one of them. Even some of the terrain around Black Bear Fort was recorded by Du Xuan. Obviously, Du Xuan attaches great importance to this map. He wondered in his heart what Du Changgeng's real intention was in sending him here.

When this map came out, Du Changgeng personally handed it over to Du Xuan. The map not only marked the important locations of Chiyangwei, but also some important locations of the barbarians. These locations all seem to be a bit far from Fort Black Bear.

The Black Bear Fort is separated from the barbarians' sphere of influence by several mountains, and the mountains are steep, and there are a large number of barbarian beasts entrenched in the mountains. It is indeed unlikely that the barbarians will climb over these mountains and mountains to deal with a black bear fortress that is of no importance.

Du Xuan didn't see anything famous, and put the map away.

Under the arrangement of the squad leader, each squad of the soldiers of Du Xuan's battalion temporarily resettled the dilapidated houses after slightly repairing them.

"This house is really dilapidated, and when it rains, a few thatched huts will collapse. In the past few days, I will take the time to repair this house, otherwise there is really no way to live in it. Yu Guijun wiped the shield in his hand with a rag before placing it on the wall and hanging it.

"The three sons have all suffered hardship, can't we still stand it? Can we be more delicate than the third son?" Cai Qidong said.
