Chapter 1369
Zhou Wen said in surprise: "Another 2000 people! How many rogues are there in your Mingyue City?"

Nan Gongdun said with a wry smile: "No one knows how many rogues there are, because at any time there will be defeated forces or people who have lost their fields becoming rogues, but don't worry, if these groups of rogues are dealt with, I believe that the entire army of the two groups of rogues will be wiped out, and there will be a lot of trouble." Let other people dispel their intentions."

Hearing this, Zhou Wen frowned and asked, "You guys are so outrageous? By the way, why did your city lord Mingyue offer a reward for our weapons? It looks like he is encouraging you to attack us."

Moder said flatteringly: "My lord, the Lord of Mingyue City is the mastermind who runs the smuggling business in this area. My lord has established a foundation here. Of course, he will send bandits to destroy the obstacles blocking his business."

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

Everyone was taken aback by these words, and Odie was even more surprised.

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

Ou Di, who believed in the enemy easily for himself, said to Zhao Hu with a painful face: "My lord, I'm sorry, my subordinates are willing to accept any punishment, but I didn't expect the governor and division chief to say one thing and do another. They must have some kind of conspiracy this time, please be careful, my lord!"

Zhao Hu patted Ou Di on the shoulder and said: "Ou Di, you are too nervous, the governor and the others were caught by us, and they will not regret it."

"Then how do you explain these rogues with 4000 people?" Odie was a little confused.

Zhao Hu said with a smile: "Hehe, I believe that the Lord Mingyue wanted to test whether we have the ability to protect the territory, right? Otherwise, he would not be offering a bounty for our weapons, but a bounty for our heads."

Ou Di thought for a while, and agreed with Zhao Hu: "In this case, what should we do next, my lord?"

Zhao Hu didn't answer Odie's words, but instead asked: "Nangongdun, Mod, when do you think the next batch of rogues will arrive?"

Apparently Nangong Dun didn't know about this kind of thing, so he could only bow his head and say nothing, while Maude, who belonged to the real rogue, thought for a while and said: "My lord, after we set off, it will be more difficult for their ships to mobilize. According to the past practice, It should land on the shore in four or five hours."

"Well, send a few people to meet the governor and the others, and leave behind the guards guarding the captives. All combatants are fully armed and assembled on horseback to the pier." Zhao Hu ordered.

After the combatants were assembled, Zhao Hu ordered loudly: "The Imperial Army brigade is in ambush in the jungle behind the pier, and the servants are in ambush by the side of the pier. They disembarked, the Imperial Army brigade attacked head-on, and the servants blocked their retreat, Nangong Dun and Mod immediately took over their ships."

Zhao Hu's tactics were the same as before, but just now he wanted to disperse the rogues, this time he wanted to annihilate the entire army of the rogues, and deter other rogues from acting rashly.

Hearing Zhao Hu's order, the servant soldiers took the order and left without saying a word, while the imperial brigade hesitated before taking the order. Only Nan Gongdun and Mode couldn't believe it.

They didn't expect that the lord would actually let them fight. Wasn't he afraid that his people would reveal his fighting intentions, or that they would sail away by boat?
Maude said excitedly: "This subordinate will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Although Nangong Dun accepted the order in this way, what he thought was: "Now my Nangong family has something to ask of him, no wonder he is not afraid of our betrayal."

After they left, Odie couldn't help reminding: "Sir, do you want to send someone to monitor the two of them? After all, they just surrendered, and we don't know whether they are loyal or not."

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, even if they expose our fighting intention, the remaining rogues will definitely be frightened by the ending of the vanguard's complete annihilation. As for their escape, they are just a few people. gone."

Zhou Wen asked curiously: "My lord, do you really want to help that Nan Gongdun restore the glory of his family?"

Seeing Zhao Hu nodded, Zhou Wen couldn't help but continued: "Although we can get people and property by raiding the southeast peninsula, it always feels like making wedding dresses for others, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Sun Jie immediately responded to this: "Yes, it is unreasonable to hand over the land we have conquered to them for management! You must know that if we hand over the land to the empire, your lord will definitely become a general and aristocrat!"

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

Zhao Hu didn't care about their expressions, but pondered for a while and said: "The raid on the Southeast Peninsula is not based on the population, wealth and land on the Southeast Peninsula, and I will not order to attack these city lords in the early stage, after all, Nangong Dun has already explained these things just now. The city lords are all characters with many soldiers and generals, and we are asking for trouble if we have such little strength to provoke them."

"Then why is your lord planning to attack the southeast peninsula?" Odie asked.

Zhao Hu smiled and said: "It's very simple, training soldiers."

"Training!" Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. They didn't expect that Zhao Hu agreed to attack the southeast peninsula for the purpose of training.

Zhao Hu nodded and said: "That's right, it's just training soldiers. Think about the expressions of those soldiers when they first went to the Fifth Battalion, and think about how their aura has changed after many bloody battles in the grassland. You will understand." Why should I train soldiers?"

Odie agreed: "Yes, there is a big difference between soldiers who have experienced bloody battles and soldiers who have only been trained hard. Not to mention combat skills, even murderousness can determine the problem. Among our nearly [-] militiamen, the servants are still They are powerful, but the soldiers of the imperial brigade are a bit inferior. Compared with the servant soldiers, they obviously lack a aggressive look.

"So, in order for these two thousand militiamen to guard this territory, my lord really needs to let those bastards see their blood!"

Sun Jie patted his head: "No wonder my lord wants to attack the southeast peninsula. Except there, we have no place to train even if we want to train! There are bandits everywhere, enough for us to practice for a long time."

Zhou Wen suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Also, my lord will stay here for a year, and this year is enough to train a squadron of the most powerful personal guards in the entire empire! In this way, my lord will have a strong sense of security when he performs his duties. A powerful force can command now!"

Zhao Hu smiled and said: "My military position is the staff officer of the regiment. It is impossible to fight on the front line. Why do you bring so many personal guards?"

Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "My lord, even if you don't have to go to the front line to fight, but you have a personal guard squadron that can easily destroy an elite imperial army brigade, then no one dares to underestimate you. Even if the staff does not have a leader, your lord can speak enough." Loud! With such a personal guard squadron, who dares to ignore your opinion!"

Odie clapped his hands suddenly and said: "My lord, what Zhou Wen said is right, and although the staff officer does not need to go to the front line, you can send your personal guards to the front line to help you earn meritorious deeds! Maybe by then, your lord will be the one who has made the most contributions in the entire alliance." What about the staff officer?

"So this soldier must train, and he must train hard! My lord, please order me to go back to the imperial capital, and ask my lord to allow me to use the funds as I please. My lord will get 130 blank personal guard certificates for my lord. My lord already has two squadrons of personal guards!"

Zhao Hu, Zhou Wen, and Sun Jie were all taken aback and said: "Is this okay? It is a serious crime if the number of personal guards exceeds the limit!" Ou Di laughed and said: "It is not allowed according to the rules, but money can make ghosts push you." Mo, more money can make Mo Tui ghosts, as long as you give enough funds, and don’t show off with excessive personal guards, you will have no problems. Of course, we couldn’t do this when we didn’t reach the territory in the first place.”

Zhou Wen asked a little excitedly: "Just make up for the lost battle guards this time, and I want to be the commander of the battle guards!"

Odie shook his head: "The lack of personal guards is going to be filled with civil servants. After all, there are too few civil servants in your territory."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and although Zhou Wen was not happy, he didn't say anything.

"Ou Di, go back to the imperial capital and report the names of those battle guards." Zhao Hu said suddenly.

Odie was stunned for a moment, but immediately said excitedly: "Your subordinate obeys."

As long as the names are reported, these guards who were born as slaves will be recorded as martyrs, and they will be considered to be relieved of their status as slaves.

Originally, Odie wanted to set off immediately, but he thought that he had to meet the governor and the others, and the soldiers had all gone to battle, so he had to wait for the opportunity.

When the guards who went to greet the team ran back to report that it was indeed the governor of the province, and when they were about to arrive ten kilometers away, the troops who had been ambushing on the shore for several hours also rushed back with thousands of captives. .

Lao Dao, as the representative of the servants, led the militia brigade representative, Nangong Dun and Moder into the Lord's Mansion.

"My lord, this time we captured nearly a thousand heads, captured thousands of bandits, and seized more than forty ships. Thirty-five of my servants died in the battle, and 35 and four people from the Imperial Army brigade died in the battle. There were no casualties among Nangong Dun and Mod's men. "

Lao Dao summarized the results of the battle in a few words, and heard the representative of the Imperial Army brigade, Nangong Dun and Moder desperately rolling their eyes.

This idiot, why don't you praise your boss's wisdom and martial arts first, and show that you have overcome all difficulties and completed this battle without fear of sacrifice?At the same time, I should also talk about how these people fought bravely, right?They didn't even mention their names. No wonder their nomads could only hide in the grasslands, and even missed this opportunity to show their merits.

"Well, everyone will be rewarded with two gold coins, the war dead will be compensated, the list of meritorious persons will be reported, and rewards will be made according to their merits." Zhao Hu nodded and said.
