Zhang Chen said to the old man calmly: "Old man, do you have so little confidence in the county soldiers? Do you want to live under the tyranny of those thieves for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Chen said, looking around at the people around him, and found that there were still many young and strong among them, and his face changed immediately.

Zhang Chen raised his voice a little, pointed at those young and strong, and said sternly: "What about you, do you think so too?"

The young and strong lowered their heads one after another.

"Fellow villagers, today's natural disasters and wars are endless. The people are already suffering, but they still have to endure the looting of those thieves! Just yesterday, Zhang Fu led the refugees to open up wasteland, and these beasts did not even let the refugees go, robbed the oxen, and trampled on the farmland. What's more, they also robbed more than a dozen virgin girls! You say, can we still endure it? Can we still use money and food to please them?"

Zhang Chen said excitedly, his eyes full of resentment and indignation at the weakness of these people.

"Your Excellency is right, these thieves should have died long ago! We can't just tolerate them!"

A hot-blooded young man stood up.

Soon, there was a second, a third...

"Your Excellency is right, we can't be soft on these thieves!"

"I support the county magistrate to send troops to suppress the bandits!"

"I support it too!"

...

Zhang Chen waved his hand and said to everyone: "Everyone, please believe our county soldiers. I, Zhang Zifan, guarantee with my life that our army will win this battle! Two days later, I will personally go to the battle to conquer the 'Black Tiger Village'. If I can't win, I will die in front of you!"

"The county magistrate will win!"

"The county magistrate will win!"

...

For a while, the crowd was excited.

Zhang Chen looked at the expressions of the crowd and felt very relieved.

The passion in these young people's bones has been aroused. After this battle, the whole of Guangping will be united and the people will gather.

This will be extremely beneficial to his future development.

However, Zhang Chen's words that he would personally go to the battlefield attracted the unanimous opposition of Wu Guanjia and Ping'er.

"Master, the battlefield is so dangerous, how can you take the risk?"

"Yes, Master, if anything happens to you, how can I go to see you!"

"I say, you all underestimate me, Master."

Faced with Wu Guanjia and Ping'er's earnest persuasion, Zhang Chen said helplessly: "This battle is the first battle of the Guangping County soldiers. As the county magistrate, how can I not go to the front in person? Don't worry, with Gao Shun here, what can I do?"

"But, Master..."

Ping'er wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhang Chen: "In front of everyone, I have already made a statement, and I must not break it. Otherwise, how can I face the people of Guangping?"

Wu Guanjia also understood that Zhang Chen, as the county magistrate, should keep his word. Since he said he would personally go to the battle, if he regretted it, it would be difficult to convince the others in the future.

He knew that Zhang Chen had made up his mind and there was no room for maneuver, so he could only sigh and say, "Young Master, there is no eye for swords and guns on the battlefield, so be sure to pay attention to safety."

Zhang Chen said confidently, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu, I have been practicing spearmanship with Gao Shun for some time, and now I have made some achievements. It is not a problem to deal with a few bandits."

What he said was true. Since learning spearmanship, Zhang Chen got up at the sound of the cock-crow every day and practiced spearmanship with Gao Shun, never slacking off for a day.

He himself has the item of [Extraordinary Physical Strength] to complement him, and his foundation is solid. With Gao Shun's guidance, he has made rapid progress and can now fight Gao Shun for more than 30 moves.

Gao Shun saw all this and admired Zhang Chen's tenacity in his heart.

In terms of martial arts alone, Gao Shun should be considered a second-rate general in the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Chen estimated that with his current strength, he should be able to rank among the second-rate.

Although he is still far behind those first-rate warriors, he is still more than enough to deal with some unknown thieves in history.

Moreover, just this morning, when Zhang Chen finished practicing, wiped off the sweat, and was about to go back to his room to change clothes, he heard a reminder.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for practicing spearmanship and reaching the minor success level. Automatically obtain the entry [Gunmanship Glimpse (Green)]."

Zhang Chen did not expect that he would obtain an entry after practicing spearmanship with Gao Shun.

He did not even bother to change his clothes, and hurriedly checked the entry information.

[Gunmanship Glimpse (Green)]: You have just started to learn spearmanship and have mastered the basic tips, but there is still a long way to go. (The power of spearmanship has been slightly improved)

Although it is not very powerful, it is still an entry. Moreover, Zhang Chen estimated that if his spearmanship improves in the future, the level of this entry should also be promoted.

After obtaining this entry, he naturally felt more confident.

After appeasing Wu Guanjia and Ping'er, Zhang Chen returned to the county government to handle official business.It was already afternoon when it was over.

Zhang Chen wanted to see how Gao Shun was preparing for the expedition tomorrow, so he took two officers and went straight to the military camp in the south of the city.

After passing through the market and arriving in the south of the city, when he was about to go to the military camp, he suddenly saw two sneaky figures.

Two men in plain cloth clothes, each leading a horse, asked about the direction of the military camp along the way.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but frown.

These two people didn't know where the military camp was, so they were probably not locals. But what were two outsiders doing to inquire about the military camp?

Zhang Chen felt something was wrong and hurriedly chased after them.

"Are you two going to the military camp?" Zhang Chen stopped the two from behind, "Where are you two from? What do you do for a living? What do you want to do by inquiring about the location of the military camp?"

The two turned around and saw that they were one tall and one short. The tall one was strong and looked like he had practiced kung fu, while the short one was thin, had two mustaches, and looked a bit ruffian.

The short man glanced at Zhang Chen and said coldly, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you?"

"How dare you! This is the county magistrate, how dare you be so rude!" an officer shouted immediately.

"County... County magistrate?" Both of them were shocked.

The tall man hurried forward and said with a smile, "I didn't know the county magistrate was here. Please forgive me for not recognizing you. We are horse traders. I thought the camp should be short of horses, so I wanted to go and take a look."

"Oh... horse traders." Zhang Chen looked at the two of them, but quietly opened the "Eye of Insight".

[Name: Wang Tieshan]

[Owned entries: Proficient in horsemanship (blue), bandit (white)]

[Name: Zhou Erhu]

[Owned entries: Primary horse appraiser (green), bandit (white)]

Wow! Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.

Two bandits, actually delivered themselves to the door!

It seems that they are here to spy on the military, but...these two people actually have two entries, one blue and one green!

[Primary Horse Appraisal (Green)]: You know a little bit about horse appraisal. (Can distinguish horses of green quality)

Well, it turns out that horses are also divided into grades!

The four famous horses in the Three Kingdoms, Red Hare, Jueying, Dilu, and Claw Huang Feidian, must have been of high grade. If not red, they must be gold!

[Proficient in Horsemanship (Blue)]: You are good at riding horses, and you ride them pretty well. (Can ride blue quality horses)

It is an entry for horsemanship!

Zhang Chen had seen Wu Guanjia riding a horse, so he always thought that riding a horse had nothing to do with the entry. But now it seems that people without the entry can only ride ordinary horses.

Those famous horses, if they don’t have the horsemanship entry, I’m afraid they can’t be ridden.

Zhang Chen was secretly delighted. These two entries were not simple. Since they were delivered to my door, I would not be polite!

"Hand of plunder", activated!

In an instant, the two felt a tremor all over their bodies, and an indescribable strange feeling.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the blue entry "Proficient in Horsemanship" and obtaining 150 points of plunder value! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the green entry "Primary Horse Viewing" and obtaining 100 points of plunder value! ]

Hehe! Cool!

Not only did he get two entries, but he also got 250 more points of plunder value. Now, he has 450 points of plunder value.
