I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Duan Shubai asked: "How is the situation of the affected villagers?"

The thieves who attacked Yishan are a disgusting bunch. They are like locusts. They burn, kill and loot without leaving any room. No matter whether the family is rich or poor, they can scrape off a layer of oil and water for you.Some naive and wealthy people who are not familiar with the world and have read a few novels may have heard of a few righteous bandits and robbers, and they think that bandits all over the world are so forced to take over the mountains and become kings. Only the poor people who are bullied by thieves and bandits can understand the hate and disgust of those people.

Zhang Changle sighed, and replied: "In Shangxi Village, which was the hardest hit, most of the villagers' homes were emptied of food, and several households in other villages were also robbed. They not only robbed food, but also robbed many people. Few people."

Among the people who were robbed, there were many women and young people. The thieves naturally raped, humiliated, raped and prostituted the women, and young guys, the thieves were robbed as hostages. If you have money, you can redeem them. It depends on the mood of the thieves and the kindness of the mountain head. Some tortured and killed, and some stayed on the mountain to do coolie work. After staying on the mountain for a long time, they even assimilated into bandits.

"The most important thing now is to appease the villagers."

Zhang Changle nodded: "Most of the distressed villagers are resettled in Xinyang City. They happen to be arranged with the refugees from Jianzhou, and some live together. The villagers who were injured by bandits have been treated by military doctors."

"The villagers have pretty much been properly pacified."

"What about the other villages around Yangcheng?"

"People are panicking. Many people have moved into Xinyang City one after another today."

The couple who were crying bitterly at the side regretted hearing this. His wife Feng Yufeng couldn't make a sound. She should have moved her daughter to Xinyang City long ago. There is General Duan guarding here, and her daughter will not suffer such a big blow. Disaster.

Her daughter Tingting has already made a marriage contract with the young man of the Cui family. This year's autumn harvest is rich, and the two families are very happy. Tingting is sewing wedding clothes at home. I feel like the sky is falling down.

"General Duan, you must be the master for us!"

The village head and the couple knelt in front of Duan Shubai and begged. Duan Shubai helped them up. He looked at Zhang Changle and said, "It's important to appease the people first, and at the same time strengthen the patrolling around."

Duan Shubai then sneered, "I will not let those bandits go."

He held up the village chief's hand and patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, the old village chief, I will avenge your bandits and recover the robbed food. Madam, your daughter and my soldiers will do our best Rescue, please wait at ease in Xinyang City for the time being."

The three of Shangxicun cried and nodded.

Duan Shubai asked people to send them away, and asked them to comfort them.

"Changle, go and call the five captains over."

Duan Shubai was sitting in the center of the meeting hall looking at the map around Yangzhou, his brows were furrowed, his mood sank to the bottom, he bent his index finger and knocked on the table, he had only been out for two days, and there were rats making trouble in his territory, Yangzhou has always been plagued by thieves. Now that he has some background in Xinyang City, it's time to clean up the front of his house.

"General, people are here."

As soon as Duan Shubai raised his head, eight people came in consecutively from outside the door, besides Zhang Changle and the five captains, there were two other people.

Among the other two people, one is the captain of the reform-through-labour team, and the other Duan Shubai saw in the first morning among the refugees in Jianzhou. The man was dressed in tattered gray and black clothes. With wide eyes and broad brows, he is also a tough and tough man. He has suffered from famine, but there is still a sense of righteousness in his body.

Duan Shubai stood up, and the eight of them saluted him together.

Duan Shubai looked at the two of them, thought for a moment in his heart, and half doubted: "You..."

The man in tattered clothes in the crowd stepped forward and knelt down, and introduced himself: "I am Wang Kai, a villager in Suiyuan County, Jianzhou. On behalf of all the refugees in Jianzhou, I would like to thank the general for his life-saving grace." He bowed three times, and knocked his forehead hard on the floor three times, "I once listened to Zheng Li's one-sided words, and followed the crowd to cause chaos and harm others. Now I came to Yangzhou and got the help of the people of Yangcheng. I am deeply ashamed of my misunderstanding of General Duan at the beginning, and I and the rest of the Jianzhou brothers are truly ashamed."

"I just heard that the people of Yangzhou were rioted by bandits, their food was robbed, and the fertile land in Jianzhou was also washed away by the flood... We feel the same as the people of Yangzhou. When I come to Xinyang City, I will be the owner of Xinyang City in the future." People, more than 300 strong men in Jianzhou are willing to take the lead and help the people of Yangzhou eliminate the banditry.”

After Wang Kai finished speaking, Su Gang who was on the side also hurriedly stood up. He is the captain of the reform-through-labor team and was once Qin Haizhu's thug. Mistakes, and now we have all reformed and prayed for the general to allow us to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits and make meritorious deeds."

Hearing the words, Duan Shubai pondered for a moment, his frowning brows relaxed, he smiled, and helped Wang Kai up: "I accept the wishes of the people of Jianzhou, but you are new here, and after a long journey, And I'm not familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou, so it's best to stay in Xinyang City to recuperate now."

"Wang Kai, would you like to be one of my subordinates?"

Wang Kai opened his eyes wide and said with great joy, "All 300 of us are willing to serve the general."

Duan Shubai nodded: "Very good, starting tomorrow, you will also train with the soldiers."

Duan Shubai turned his gaze to Su Gang again.

Su Gang looked at him with eager and longing eyes, Duan Shubai patted him on the shoulder with the corner of his mouth hooked, this man is simple and honest in nature, he performed very well in maintaining order in the sweet potato tasting meeting, Duan Shubai saw it in his eyes , since he is willing to reform, then he will naturally not give up.

Duan Shubai ordered: "Su Gang, Liang Lei, I now order you to lead the left and right vanguards to suppress the bandits, each with two hundred soldiers, and go up the mountain tomorrow to wipe out the bandits."

Liang Lei and Su Gang clasped their fists and accepted the order, "Yes."

It made sense for Duan Shubai to choose Liang Lei and Su Gang to lead the battle. The suppression of mountain bandits is different from the confrontation between the two armies, but a small-scale battle of wits. They are natives of Yangzhou, and they are familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou. Familiar with the local dialect, and have dealt with the bandits in Yangzhou, and have some understanding of the bandits in Yangzhou, let them go, more adaptable than others.

Besides, after training them for so long, it's time to show him their abilities.

You can't let him do everything himself.

Duan Shubai asked them to come over for a meeting, "Wang Kai, come and listen too."

He took a seat at the front, and the others sat at the left and right seats. On the table was a map of the surrounding area of ​​Xinyang City, "Those mountain bandits, although they are all bullying and weak mobs, they occupy the terrain and should not be underestimated... Liang Lei, Su Gang, you must not be careless when fighting bandits, remember, you will not be arrogant in victory, you will not be discouraged in defeat, and you will not stick to methods, but fight flexibly."

"Show what you have learned and tell me that the training in the past few months has not been in vain."

Duan Shubai pointed on the map. Xinyang City is in the southwest of Yangcheng, and the bandits are in the southeast of Yangcheng. They are located in the northern part of Yangzhou. Falling into the hands of pirates, with the current power of Xinyang City, his hand slid across a mountain on the map. That mountain is called Xiya Mountain. With Xiya Mountain as the boundary, the bandits in the north of Xiya Mountain are out of control, occupying the top of the mountain and making trouble , it was the gang that came to Yangcheng to cause trouble.The bandits in the south of Xiya Mountain have already formed several forces, each with thousands of people and subordinate villages.

Duan Shubai made a final decision: "Within one month, wipe out all the bandits north of Xiya Mountain."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Duan Shubai led a group of people to sit together to discuss the battle plan. He raised several points, and everyone brainstormed and came up with many solutions. After the end, Zhang Changle rubbed his hands and said, "After discussing for a long time, I want to replace You guys are going to suppress the bandits, and you deal with affairs in Xinyang City every day, Lao Zhang and I are going to be rusted."

Zhi Yongjun and Jiang Bai said in the same voice: "Yes, yes, building a house and farming is not as interesting as fighting."

Duan Shubai squinted at Zhang Changle: "Are you still blaming me?"

Zhang Changle clicked his tongue twice to appease his little heart, shook his head and said, "How dare I blame the general."

Duan Shubai turned his attention to Zhi Yongjun and Jiang Bai again, "Hmph, it's not impossible for you to fight if you want to. It just so happens that my hands are very itchy. Come and fight with me tomorrow morning."

Zhi Yongjun shook his head like a rattle: "General, I suddenly find it more interesting to dig holes and plant land. Didn't you bring back a new batch of peach trees? I will plant them all tomorrow."

Jiang Bai: "I will work hard to lead people to build houses, build houses, build houses..."

It's a joke, what kind of tricks did they have with the general, they were obviously brothers and sisters who were beaten together, especially after the general and his wife have become more and more inseparable recently, their energy is even more vigorous, sweeping the area alone, they can't be beaten together if they want to be beaten together, and The general is getting worse and worse. He only hits people in the face, and every time his eyes are bruised and his mouth is swollen. What's even more frightening is that after the general finishes beating people, he still has to discuss their love life with them. How come the clothes on his body are made by his wife himself and can't be torn or anything, and he still pretends to care about their marriage, and even pretends to care about his subordinates. It will be miserable if he is slapped in the face, and he will be poured into his ears by the magic voice.

The most painful thing in life is this.

Jiang Bosheng thought unrequitedly: I would rather go to repair the latrine if I fight with the general.

Zhi Yongjun: I'd rather go pour the dung water.
