Chapter 250 Chapter 249
As the evening approached the next day, Lei Er hurried back to the outside of Cangshan County.

"Is the east going well?" Ren Ning gave him a bowl of mutton.

"Very well," Lei Er nodded hey.

That group of rebellious troops were bandits and bandits or civilians who had boarded a pirate ship.

Without the protection of city walls or forests, more than [-] well-trained cavalrymen from Zhen Guogong's mansion chased up and charged directly, and the opponent was rushed away before they could react.

Now Huang Ming is escorting him to build the post road.

"Old Ren," Lei Er looked around while swallowing the mutton, and said when he saw that no one was disturbing him, "this time I went east, I received two messages."

Ren Ning nodded, and he was not surprised, "What news?"

Ever since becoming the forward lieutenant general of the Starfall Legion, Ren Ning knew that the intelligence network in the hands of Wei Junqian or the Starfall Legion was terrifyingly large.

For example, the idea of ​​"land to the tiller" put forward during the process of quelling the chaos is Chen Xiujian's own idea on the surface, but it is actually an idea put forward by Ren Ning when he was in Guangxin County in the south.

Although Chen Xiujian did not have the support of his mother's family behind him, nor did he have the support of ministers in the court, but he was a prince after all.I don't know how Wei Junqian, who is far away in Guangxin County, made him obediently obey.

Lei Er raised his head and glanced east, "First, the Seventh Prince Chen Xiujian has been recalled to Xingji City."

Ren Ning frowned slightly.

Seeing that the civil unrest in the four counties in the west was about to be quelled, but at this time Chen Xiujian was recalled to the imperial capital, and most of his contribution would be lost.

Ren Ning didn't have any feelings for Chen Xiujian, but he always judged heroes based on military exploits, so he couldn't help but feel a little cold.

At the same time, when Chen Xiujian returned to Xingji City, whether the land he had promised before could continue to be distributed to the common people became a serious problem.

"What's the reason? Who will the emperor send to take over?" Ren Ning asked.

Hold.

Lei Er cursed secretly, "I heard that he rushed back to marry Princess Baekje. As for who will take over, I don't know, but it should be someone from the Ministry of War."

"Get married?" Ren Ning almost forgot that there was a Baekje princess in Xingji City.

He couldn't help but looked up to the east, "It seems that His Majesty is planning to send troops to aid Baekje?"

"Probably." Lei Er sneered: "Didn't the garrison of Pinghai County be sent here earlier to quell the chaos?"

"The second news is that after the beginning of spring, the Japanese pirates landed directly on the eastern coast. Because there were only a few fast arresters left, the Japanese pirates were hardly stopped. The villages along the coast were almost completely robbed and burned."

boom!
Ren Ning punched the stake next to him resentfully, and asked after a while, "Where are the guards from other counties?"

The eastern coastal counties are the richest and have always been big taxpayers.The Yunchui treasury was already empty, wouldn't it make things worse if the Japanese pirates came here a few more times?
Lei Er sighed: "Old Ren, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst."

"It's not like you don't know Japanese pirates. They are a swarm of locusts, they are best at looting and killing them before running away. When the neighboring county soldiers arrive, they have already retreated into the sea."

Ren Ning nodded, and stopped asking about this kind of embarrassing thing about tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and the air leaks everywhere.

After Lei Er finished eating, he wiped the oil on his mouth with his hand, and looked up at Cangshan County in front of him: "How is it here?"

"It's going well." Ren Ning said: "The people are frightened by hunger. I heard that the land and seeds can be distributed, and they are very cooperative."

"At the same time, Thunder Dragon also made active preparations for attacking the city, and sent a few skilled soldiers to enter the city. If all goes well, the city gate should be opened after a while."

If it doesn't go well, the bandits and bandits nestled inside have to be careful with their heads.

"Then we leave tomorrow?" Lei Er asked.

They came in secret, and they didn't even tell Lei Long and other Dingxi guards their real names.

The anti-insurgency army in the east will kill Cangshan County in the next few days, maybe someone will see them in the imperial capital, so the two have to leave as soon as possible.

Ren Ning nodded: "It's time to go."

Just as he was talking, Thunder Dragon came over.

After chatting with Lei Er, he was relieved to learn that the anti-insurgency army from the east was about to arrive here.

"That's great! Once the post road is opened up in Pingding Laigu, our hometown in Dingxi will be saved..." Lei Long rubbed his hands and chattered.

It took him a long time to look at Ren Ning: "My lord, just now there is news from my subordinates in the city that everything is going well. The rebellious army in the city sees that there is nothing they can do, and they are willing to put down their weapons and surrender."

"What shall we do next?"

Should we take them to the west as soon as possible to open up the post road under their feet, or take food and go directly north to support Xia Bangwei, the leader of the Yangguan Ancient Road?
Ren Ning shook his head: "I'm just supervising the censor, and now I'm a bit out of step. So I'll leave tomorrow."

Thunder Dragon was stunned.

Are you kidding me?
He is not a fool.After nearly a month of getting along, if the Ren Ning in front of him is just a censor who reports to the emperor, then Lei Long would dare to screw his head off and kick it like a ball.

However, after opening his mouth, Thunder Dragon was speechless.

In the end, I could only ask: "I don't know when I can fight side by side with adults again?"

Lei Long felt it was a kind of enjoyment to fight under Ren Ning, and was reluctant to part with it for a while.

"There is a chance." Ren Ning did not directly answer this question, he smiled and said: "Old Lei, do you think that if you capture the county in front of you, you will be able to pacify Laigu County? This is not necessarily the case."

He looked up at the mountains and dense forests all around him.

Most of the people in Laigu are half people and half bandits.At this time, in the lush and lush Luoxia Mountains, there are countless famous and unknown Vajra Villages.

If the common people are not allowed to live and work in peace and contentment first, civil unrest will resume within a few months.At that time, the post road will still be blocked, and the imperial court still has no way to rescue Dingxi County and Yanzhen Fortress.

Lei Long's head grew a lot when he heard it, "Then what should we do?"

They are generals and not civil servants.He is not good at how to make hundreds of people live and work in peace and contentment.

As for attacking the bandit den in Luoxia Mountain?
That's always been a waste of time and effort.

"What kind of bandits are you fighting?" Ren Ning smiled and waved his hands: "The task assigned to you by Master Xia is to guard the post road under your feet. The rest are just incidental, don't do it if it is not incidental."

Now they not only guarded the post road, but also came to pacify Cangshan County, and the Ministry of War will count their military achievements.

As for the bandits on Luoxia Mountain.

The people in Niu Shusheng and Jingangzhai are all locals.Let them deal with the new Lieutenant Laigu of the imperial court.

"That's the only way to go." Thunder Dragon nodded.

The next morning, Lei Long's bodyguard, Xiao Zhu, ran over sweating profusely.

"Qianchang, I don't know where Master Ning and Second Brother Lei have gone. The subordinate wanted to call them for breakfast just now, but they couldn't find anyone."

"Who?" Thunder Dragon asked.

Xiao Zhu was stunned, so he could only repeat: "Lord Ning and Second Brother Lei."

cough!
"Who's that?" Lei Long coughed, "You fell asleep, kid. We've never had these two people in our team."

"How could it be?" Xiao Zhu was anxious, just about to argue.

Just seeing Shangfeng's sharp eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help being dumb.
