Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 871: Fighting side by side, Han Feng's mentality changes

At the same time, the elite troops, led by the general, had quietly approached the rear of the bandit's lair. Using the terrain as cover, they quickly and silently approached the place where Han Feng was imprisoned. The general in charge whispered to the soldiers: "Remember, our goal is to rescue Lord Han Feng. Try not to fight with the bandits and make a quick decision!"

The soldiers nodded, their eyes flashing with determination, and then they started to act according to the plan. They quickly broke through the bandits' defenses and rushed to the cell where Han Feng was imprisoned. At this moment, the bandit leader seemed to have noticed the movement behind him, his face changed drastically, and he roared: "Oh no! They've got behind us!"

However, it was too late. The elite troops had successfully rescued Han Feng and broke out with him. Although Han Feng was slightly injured, he was in good spirits. He looked at the soldiers who saved him with gratitude and then reunited with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was relieved to see that Han Feng was safe and sound. He patted Han Feng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Han Feng, I'm glad you're okay. Now, let's catch these bandits together!"

Han Feng nodded, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. These bandits have committed many evil deeds, and we must bring them to justice today!"

With Han Feng's rescue, Zhu Biao and Han Feng quickly integrated the two groups of people and formed a formidable encirclement and suppression force. Zhu Biao's eyes were like torches, scanning the surrounding bandits, and his voice was low and powerful: "Bandits, your doomsday has come! Put down your weapons and I can spare your lives, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

Seeing this, the bandit leader knew that he could not escape today. A hint of madness flashed in his eyes. He waved the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight them! Even if we die, we must take a few people with us!"

The bandits were inspired by their leader's words and rushed towards Zhu Biao and his men. However, Zhu Biao's troops were well-trained and did not panic at all in the face of the bandits' charge. They quickly formed a defensive formation, defeated the enemy with fewer troops, and gradually forced the bandits into a desperate situation.

Zhu Biao and Han Feng fought side by side, and the two cooperated well. Zhu Biao's spear was like a dragon out of the sea, and every thrust was accurate and hit the bandits' vital points; while Han Feng held a short sword and flexibly shuttled in the battlefield, picking the bandits' weaknesses and attacking them, his movements were swift and deadly.

"Han Feng, you on the left and I on the right, let's work together to break through their defense line!" Zhu Biao said to Han Feng while fighting.

Han Feng nodded in agreement, and the two changed their tactics instantly, attacking the dense formation of the bandits from the left and right. Wherever Zhu Biao's spear went, the bandits fell down one after another; while Han Feng used the advantage of the short sword to fight in close combat, beheading the bandits one by one.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bandit leader made up his mind and decided to go all out. He suddenly burst out with all his strength and rushed towards Zhu Biao, trying to fight for his life. However, Zhu Biao was prepared. He dodged the bandit leader's attack easily and shot him in the throat.

"Your evil deeds end here!" Zhu Biao said coldly, and the spear pierced through the bandit leader's body, ending his sinful career.

With the fall of the bandit leader, the morale of the remaining bandits was greatly reduced, and they dropped their weapons and surrendered. Seeing this, Zhu Biao immediately ordered the soldiers to go forward and confiscate the weapons and put the prisoners under centralized custody.

After the battle, Zhu Biao and Han Feng stood in the middle of the battlefield, looking at the corpses and prisoners on the ground, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Han Feng wiped the blood off his face and said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness is brave and invincible, Han Feng admires you very much!"

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and patted Han Feng on the shoulder: "Han Feng, you are great. If you hadn't been rescued in time and helped me to suppress the bandits, I'm afraid today's incident would not have been resolved peacefully."

Zhu Biao and Han Feng stood side by side on the battlefield, looking at the bandits who were completely defeated in front of them. They felt both the joy of victory and the deep mourning for the sacrificed soldiers.

"Han Feng, immediately organize people to clean up the battlefield and reload the looted supplies." Zhu Biao's voice was firm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Han Feng responded immediately and quickly mobilized soldiers to clean up the battlefield, retrieved the food, medicine and other relief supplies looted by the bandits one by one, and carefully counted them to confirm that they were correct. At the same time, he also arranged for people to bandage the wounded bandit captives and prepare to escort them back to the city to be handled by the government.

Zhu Biao personally went to the soldiers who were injured while protecting the supplies, his eyes full of concern and gratitude. Whenever he saw a wounded soldier, he would squat down, gently ask about their injuries, and bandage their wounds with his own hands.

"Brother, are you seriously injured?" Zhu Biao held the hand of a soldier with an injured arm, his tone full of tenderness and encouragement, "Hold on, we will have a doctor to treat you soon."

The soldier endured the pain and forced a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a minor injury. It won't cause any trouble. As long as we can keep these supplies and let the victims have food to eat and medicine to treat, my injury is nothing."

Zhu Biao was deeply moved when he heard this. He gently patted the soldier on the shoulder, turned around and told the guard beside him: "Immediately arrange a carriage to send these injured brothers back to the camp, and be sure to ask the best doctors to treat them."

The guards hurriedly followed the order and quickly organized people to carry the wounded onto the carriages, preparing to send them to a safe camp for treatment. Zhu Biao stood aside and watched them leave. He heaved a sigh of relief only when the last carriage disappeared from his sight.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Zhu Biao's face, giving him a golden glow. He looked up into the distance, silently praying in his heart that the people in the disaster area could get through the difficulties and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.

Soon after, doctors rushed over and gave the wounded a thorough examination and treatment. Zhu Biao personally supervised the situation to ensure that every wounded person was properly accommodated and treated in a timely manner.

"Doctor, how are their injuries?" Zhu Biao asked a busy doctor with concern.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although these wounded have suffered some physical pain, they are not seriously injured. As long as they rest well for a period of time, they will be able to recover as before."

Zhu Biao felt relieved when he heard this. He walked to a soldier with a leg injury, squatted down, and asked softly, "Brother, do you feel better? Is it still painful?"

The soldier forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I feel much better now. But I feel a little sorry that I can't continue to protect you."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said gently: "You have done a good job. Protecting these disaster relief supplies is protecting the lives of countless victims. You are our hero, and we should all learn from you."

The soldier's eyes flashed with excitement and pride when he heard this. He held Zhu Biao's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Your Highness is so considerate of his subordinates. It is our great fortune. As long as I can follow Your Highness, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and patted the soldier's hand gently: "Take good care of your injuries." Han Feng stood aside, quietly watching the warm interactions between Zhu Biao and the wounded, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

As a crown prince, Zhu Biao could have stayed high above and stayed away from these scenes of blood and fire, but he chose to stand at the front line and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Han Feng deeply admired his courage and responsibility.

"Your Highness," Han Feng finally couldn't help but speak, with a bit of respect in his voice, "It is really touching that you came in person to comfort the wounded. It is the greatest honor for these brothers to receive your care."

Zhu Biao heard this and looked up at Han Feng, with a gentle smile in his eyes. "Han Feng, we are comrades-in-arms and brothers. On the battlefield, the life of every soldier is precious. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for the safety of the country and the people. As the crown prince, I should care about them and give them the respect and care they deserve."

Han Feng nodded, and his awe for Zhu Biao increased. "Your Highness is right. I was negligent. From now on, I will do my best to help Your Highness and bring happiness to the soldiers."

Zhu Biao patted Han Feng on the shoulder and encouraged him, "You have done a great job, Han Feng. You have made an indelible contribution to this bandit suppression operation. After I return, I will report your heroic performance to my father. You will receive all the honors and rewards you deserve."

Han Feng bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. I will continue to work hard and live up to your high expectations."

At this moment, a guard came running over and reported nervously, "Your Highness, there is news from the front that the victims in several villages have begun to flee to higher ground due to panic. The situation is a bit chaotic."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned slightly and immediately said to Han Feng: "Han Feng, you immediately lead a team to those villages to calm the victims and ensure that they evacuate in an orderly manner to avoid accidents such as stampedes."

"I obey your command!" After receiving the order, Han Feng quickly assembled his team and prepared to set off. Before leaving, he looked at Zhu Biao deeply and silently vowed in his heart that he must protect this benevolent and virtuous prince and live up to his trust and expectations.

After this incident, Han Feng quietly changed his opinion of the prince!

After receiving the order, Han Feng quickly assembled a team and led a team of elite soldiers, riding horses and whipping them, heading straight for the villages that had begun to flee due to panic. Along the way, they crossed the muddy path with only one thought in mind: to stabilize the emotions of the victims as soon as possible and ensure their safety.

At the same time, Zhu Biao returned to the temporary command center in Hengzhou to continue directing the disaster relief work.

After returning to the command post, Zhu Biao immediately summoned the heads of various departments and said solemnly: "Everyone, although we have repelled the bandits, the disaster in Hengzhou is still urgent. News has come from the front that victims in several villages have begun to flee due to panic. We must take immediate action to calm their emotions and ensure an orderly evacuation."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue immediately said, "Your Highness, I have sent more people to those villages to distribute food and medicine, hoping to temporarily stabilize their emotions."

Zhu Biao nodded in approval, "Very good, but in addition to material support, we also need psychological counseling. Han Feng has already led a team there, but there is still a shortage of manpower. Can the Ministry of Industry dispatch some craftsmen to help build temporary shelters so that the victims can have a safe place to stay?"

The Minister of Works quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Your Highness. We will immediately organize craftsmen to go there and ensure that the shelter is built in the shortest possible time."

Zhu Biao turned to the person in charge of the medical team and said, "Doctor Li, the medical team must follow Han Feng and provide timely treatment for the injured victims. At the same time, we must strengthen health and epidemic prevention work to prevent the spread of the epidemic."

Doctor Li bowed and said, "I will obey your command and arrange for a medical team to accompany you immediately."

After everything was arranged, Zhu Biao felt a little relieved. He stood in front of the command post, looking at the busy disaster relief scene in the distance, praying silently in his heart that everything would go smoothly.

Soon, Han Feng led the team to the first village where they fled. They saw the villagers with their families, looking panicked, some carrying bags, some leading cattle and sheep, in a chaotic scene.

Han Feng immediately jumped off his horse and shouted, "Fellow villagers, don't panic! We are the rescue team sent by the court, and we will protect everyone's safety!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers stopped and looked at the team that suddenly appeared. An elderly villager came over tremblingly, his eyes full of confusion and fear: "Are you...really here to save us?"

Han Feng stepped forward, his tone firm and warm: "Yes, sir, we are here to help you. Please believe us, the court will not abandon any of the people affected by the disaster."

Han Feng immediately arranged for the soldiers to disperse and assist the villagers to evacuate in an orderly manner. Some of them helped the elderly and children get on the bus, some carried supplies, and some were responsible for maintaining order and preventing stampedes.

"Thank you... Thank you for coming to save us." The elderly villager said with a sob, and the surrounding villagers nodded, with tears in their eyes.

Han Feng smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome, this is what we should do. Please believe us, the court will definitely lead everyone through this difficult time."

After comforting the victims in this village, Han Feng immediately led the team to the next refugee location. Along the way, they encountered more victims, but each time they were able to quickly stabilize the situation and ensure an orderly evacuation.

As night fell, the lights in the command center were brightly lit, and Zhu Biao was still discussing follow-up plans for disaster relief with the heads of various departments. At this time, a guard hurried in to report: "Your Highness, there is news from the front that villagers in several resettlement sites are somewhat dissatisfied with the conditions of their temporary homes and are a little emotional."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly and stood up immediately: "Call the heads of the Ministry of Industry immediately. We must go and check the situation in person to appease the people."

Soon, Zhu Biao and the head of the Ministry of Works came to the resettlement site where the villagers had reported their problems. Many simple tents were built here. Although they were crude, they were the best conditions that the court could quickly provide in such a disaster. However, some villagers were still dissatisfied with the harsh environment.
