Zhou Wen was surprised: "There are two thousand more people! How many bandits are there in your Mingyue City?"

Nangong Dun smiled bitterly and said, "No one knows how many bandits are, because there are defeated forces or people who have lost their fields at any time become bandits. But don't worry, if these bandits are resolved, I believe that the annihilation of the two bandits will make others dispel their intentions."

Hearing this, Zhou Wen frowned and asked, "You are so outrageous? By the way, why did your Mingyue City Lord offer our weapons? Judging from his appearance, it seemed like he was encouraging you to attack us."

Mo De looked flattering: "This lord, the Lord Mingyue City is the mastermind who is in charge of the smuggling business nearby. The lord is here to establish a base. Of course, he has to send bandits to destroy the obstacles that block his business."

"What? The Lord of Mingyue City is the mastermind of this smuggling line!"

Everyone was shocked by these words, and Odi looked even more surprised.

"Impossible! I have agreed with them, why are they doing this again?"

Odi, who easily believed in the enemy, said to Zhao Hu with pain: "Sir, I'm sorry, my subordinates are willing to accept any punishment. I didn't expect that the provincial government commander and the commander of the division were actually one thing, and they did another. This time they must have any conspiracy, please give me my heart!"

Zhao Hu patted Oudi on the shoulder and said, "Oudi, you are too nervous. The provincial governor and the other party have been caught by us. They will not regret it."

"Then how do you explain these 4,000 bandits?" Odi was confused.

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Haha, I believe it is because the Lord Mingyue City wants to test whether we have the ability to protect our territory? Otherwise, he would not offer a reward of our weapons, but our heads."

Odi thought for a moment and agreed with Zhao Hu's opinion: "Since that's the case, what should we do next sir?"

Zhao Hu did not answer Odi's words, but asked: "Nangong Dun, Mode, when will your next group of bandits arrive?"

Nangong Dun was obviously not clear about this kind of thing, so he could only bow his head and say nothing. After thinking about it, Mo De, a real bandit, thought about it and said, "Lord, after we set off, their ships are difficult to mobilize. According to previous practice, there should be four or five more landing on the shore."

"Well, send a few people to welcome the provincial governor and the others, and leave behind the guards guarding the captives, all the combatants gathered in full armed forces to ride horses to the dock." Zhao Hu ordered.

When the fighters were assembled, Zhao Hu ordered loudly: "The Emperor's Brigade ambushed in the jungle behind the dock, and the servants ambushed on the side of the dock. Nangong Dun and Mode stayed on your ship with their men. When the bandits got off the ship, the Emperor's Brigade attacked head-on, and the servants intercepted their retreat. Nangong Dun and Mode immediately took their ships."

Zhao Hu's tactics are the same as before, but he just wanted to disperse the bandits. This time he wanted to wipe out the entire bandits' army and shock other bandits and not act rashly.

Hearing Zhao Hu's order, the servants left without saying a word. The Empire Brigade hesitated for a moment before accepting the order. Only Nangong Dun and Mo De looked unbelievable.

They didn't expect that this lord would let them go to war. Aren't he afraid that those of them would reveal their intentions to fight, or aren't he afraid that those of them would run a boat to escape?

Mo De looked excited: "I will live up to what I hope!"

Although Nangong Dun also received the order so much, he thought: "Now my Nangong family has something to ask for him, no wonder he is not afraid of us betrayal."

After they left, Odi couldn't help but remind: "Sir, should we send someone to monitor the two of them? After all, they surrendered, and I don't know whether they are loyal or not."

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if they exposed our intention to fight, the remaining bandits will definitely be so scared that they are wiped out by the vanguard. As for them to escape, they are just like them, and they will leave."

Zhou Wen asked curiously: "Sir, do you really want to help Nangong Dun restore the glory of his family?"

Seeing Zhao Hutou, Zhou Wen couldn't help but continue: "Although we can get population and property when we capture the Southeast Peninsula, we always feel like we are making wedding dresses for others, and we feel very uncomfortable."

Sun Jie immediately responded to this: "Yes, it is really unreasonable to hand over the land we have captured to them for management! You must know that when we hand over the land to the empire, we can definitely become generals and nobles!"

Hearing this, Odi's eyes showed a hot light and began to think about the feasibility of this matter.

Zhao Hu didn't care about their expressions, but just pondered for a moment and said, "The attack on the Southeast Peninsula is not about the population, wealth and land on the Central and Southeast Peninsula. Moreover, I will not order attacks on these city lords in the early stage. After all, Nangong Dun had just understood that these city lords are all characters with many soldiers and widespread generals. We are so capable of provoking them, it is simply causing trouble."

"Why are you still preparing to conquer the Southeast Peninsula?" Odi asked.

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "It's very simple, train troops."

"Practice troops!" Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. They didn't expect that Zhao Hu agreed to rob the Southeast Peninsula in order to train troops.

Zhao Hutou said, "That's right, it's just training soldiers. Think about the expressions of those soldiers when I first went to the Fifth Brigade, and think about how the momentum of these soldiers became after many bloody battles in the grassland. You will understand why I want to train."

Odi agreed: "Yes, soldiers who have experienced bloody battles are far from those who have only been trained hard. No fighting skills or murderous aura can determine the problem. Among the nearly two thousand militias, the servant soldiers are quite powerful, but the soldiers in the imperial brigade are not bad. Compared with the servant soldiers, there is obviously less fierce look.

"So, in order to allow these two thousand militias to protect this territory, the lord really has to let those soldiers see blood!"

Sun Jie patted his head: "No wonder he wants to conquer the Southeast Peninsula. Apart from there, we have no place to practice even if we want to train troops! There are bandits everywhere, which is enough for us to practice for a long time."

Zhou Wen suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Oh, sir, you have to stay here for a year. This year is enough to train the most powerful personal guard squadron in the entire empire! In this way, sir, if you perform your duties, you will have a powerful force to command!"

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "My military post is a corps staff officer, and it is impossible to fight on the front line. Why do you bring so many personal guards to do?"

Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "Sir, even if you don't have to go to the front line to fight, if you have a personal guard squadron that can easily destroy an elite Emperor ** brigade, no one dares to look at you. Even if the staff officer does not lead the leader, the squadron of the adults will speak loudly enough! Who dares to ignore your opinions if you have such a personal guard squadron?"

Odi clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Sir, Zhou Wen is right. And although the staff member does not need to go to the front line, you can send your personal guards to the front line to help you earn merits! Maybe by then, the Sir will be the biggest staff member in the entire unit.

"So this soldier must be trained, and it must be practiced hard! Sir, please order your subordinates to go back to the imperial capital, and ask your subordinates to allow them to use the funds at will. Sir, please get 130 blank personal guard certificates for the adults, so that your subordinates will have two squadron personal guards!"

Zhao Hu, Zhou Wen, and Sun Jie were all surprised and said, "Is this OK? If the number of personal guards exceeds the standard, it is a serious crime!" Oudi smiled and said, "It is not possible to follow the rules, but having money can make the devil push the mill. As long as you give enough funds, don't bring the personal guards who exceed the standard, there will be no problem. Of course, we who did not arrive in the territory at the beginning could not do this."

Zhou Wenyou asked excitedly: "Just make up for the lost combat guards this time, I want to be the commander of the combat guards!"

Odi shook his head: "The subordinates of the personal guards are preparing to use civil servants to make up for the shortage of personal guards. After all, there are too few civil servants in the territory of the lord."

When everyone heard this, they agreed, and although Zhou Wen was not happy, he stopped talking.

"Odie, return to the imperial capital and report the names of those combat guards." Zhao Hu said suddenly.

Odie was stunned, but immediately said excitedly: "Subordinate to obey the order."

As long as the names are reported, these personal guards who are from slaves will be recorded as martyrs and will be considered as the slaves of the personal guards.

Originally, Odi wanted to set off immediately, but thought of greeting the provincial governor and the soldiers, and all the soldiers went to fight, so he had to wait for the opportunity.

The guards who were now going to welcome the team ran back and reported that they were indeed the provincial governor, and when they were about to arrive, the troops who had ambushed several times on the shore were excitedly escorting thousands of prisoners back.

As the representative of the servants, Lao Dao led the representative of the militia brigade and Nangong Dun and Mod into the lord's mansion.

"Sir, this time we have captured nearly a thousand heads, captured thousands of bandits, and seized more than 40 ships. Our servants were killed in battle, and 224 people were killed in the Imperial ** team, and there were no casualties under Nangong Dun and Mode."

Lao Dao summed up the report on the battle results in a few words. He heard the representative of the Emperor** team, Nangong Dun, and Mo De rolled their eyes desperately.

Why don’t this fool praise his boss’s wise and magical martial arts first, and show that he has overcome all difficulties and is not afraid of sacrifice to complete this battle? At the same time, how should he fight bravely, right? He didn’t even have a name. No wonder their nomads can only hide on the grassland, and even missed this opportunity to perform their merits in vain.

"Well, everyone rewards two gold coins, and pays for those who died in battle, and reports the list of those who have made meritorious contributions, and rewards are given according to their merits." Zhao Hutou said.
