Upon hearing this, Xie Yu called the old county magistrate Cheng over for discussion.

County Magistrate Cheng was also shocked when he heard such news.

He said: "A year ago, the eldest son of the He family was kidnapped by bandits and died at the hands of the bandits."

"I know that although Master He has not shown anything this year, he has been secretly investigating the situation of those bandits."

"Now that I think about it, if I want to know the information about the current bandits, Master He is undoubtedly a good candidate."

Xie Yu smiled and said: "It seems that the lives of those bandits are not long. Youdao knows best. He is not your friend, but your enemy."

"Mr. Cheng, I would like to ask you to be the host for a banquet for Master He."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant of the Cheng Mansion reported back, saying that Master He went to the Cheng Mansion to pay a visit and specially invited General Xie to accompany him.

The two met and smiled.

Xie Yu followed County Magistrate Cheng to the Cheng Mansion. The Cheng Mansion occupies a large area, but it is normal.

This Qing County was originally located on the necessary route between Shu and the capital. It was originally a prosperous county with thousands of households.

However, after the war, although Magistrate Cheng Cheng did a good job in appeasing the people, the current household registration is only 3,000 households, which is a lower county with a population of more than 10,000.

Although the courtyard is large, it is pristine and even a little desolate. There are even fields in the courtyard. It seems that there are not many people in the mansion. It seems that the old county magistrate Cheng is not a corrupt official.

The two of them arrived at Cheng Mansion.

The son of the old county magistrate Cheng said in a low voice: "Dad, Mr. He came to visit the house with a woman in a cloak. He is in the guest room."

Xie Yu: "The woman in the cloak?"

County Magistrate Cheng thought for a moment: "That woman is still a Hezhuangist girl, Gan Qing."

"Speaking of which, this woman can be regarded as a strange woman. She had just met Young Master He when he was kidnapped by the gangsters."

"This Gan Qing is also loyal. Although the marriage has not been completed, she still wants to avenge the eldest young master."

"The owner of the village respected her and accepted her as his adopted daughter and stayed in the village."

Xie Yu nodded and secretly exclaimed: "What a coincidence, Gan Qing, it's interesting."

Then, the two of them approached the guest room.

When the two of them saw Xie Yu and the old county magistrate Cheng coming in, they immediately knelt down in front of Xie Yu.

"General, I hope to avenge my son (husband)!"

Definitely rehearsed.

The owner of the village honestly handed over a wooden box, opened it and saw a few gold cakes, and said: "This is Xiaoke's military donation for the general. I hope the general will atone for his sins. Xiaoke didn't mean to provoke it, he was really too impatient."

Already."

Xie Yu smiled, closed the lid, accepted the gold cake, and said: "Thank you so much, Mr. He, for your generosity. Thank you so much. It's okay not to mention such trivial matters."

The woman in the cloak stared carefully at the young general in front of her who was wearing a black scarf, black leather armor, and an iron sword at his waist. He had a solemn expression and a fairly handsome face. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. The conditions were not too bad.

Then, he suddenly pulled down his cloak and took off his gauze.

Xie Yu was stunned. He didn't expect that there were noble women with outstanding temperament in this countryside, Li Ruotong, Liu Yifei! Little Dragon Girl! Fairy Sister!

He knelt down and said coldly: "If the general avenges the slave family, this little girl is willing to serve the general like a cow or a horse."

Xie Yu touched his black turban and exclaimed inwardly: "Fortunately, I don't have to wear a grass ring in my next life."

But this is not the right situation. Xie Yuqing coughed.

Master He was also surprised and said: "Qing'er..."

Gan Qing: "Father, when I think of Alang, my hatred becomes deeper and deeper. My daughter doesn't want to wait any longer."

Master He: "Okay, okay, you have done this for my son, what else can I say, thank you General, I hope you can treat my daughter well."

Xie Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later."

"Master He, tell me the secrets you know about!"

Master He: "I dare not try my best."

…

late at night……

Because the conversation was too late, Xie Yu could only stay in Cheng Mansion for one night.

"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that Major General Ling Buyi would indeed have far-sightedness."

"According to what Master Na He said, more than half a year ago, a very powerful General Tian came to the bandit stronghold. This man is very clever and can unite vertically and horizontally to unify all the bandit strongholds through coercion and inducement."

"It seems that we are preparing to do something. The control over all bandit villages is getting stricter and stricter. There are less and less news coming from the inside of Master He."

"The time for delivering the message has been exceeded twice now. I think the owner of the village has encountered something unexpected."

"Where did General Tian come from? Those bandit villages may have lasted for hundreds of years. It is not easy for him to unify them, even in terms of situation."

"Is it supported by ambitious people?"

Many classic clips from Machiavellian TV dramas flashed through Xie Yu's mind.

"If you don't have enough information, you'd better sleep."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

He whispered: "General, I'm here to give you the distribution map of the bandit stronghold."

Xie Yuyi said curiously: "Isn't it agreed that I can just give it to you tomorrow?"

Xie Yu opened the door and saw the kneeling woman again: "Also, Gan Qing, why..."

Gan Qing bowed, said nothing, and walked into Xie Yu's room rudely, and then...

Xie Yu swallowed: "Gan Qing, what do you mean?"

Gan Qing: "Please invite me, General, for my revenge."

Xie Yu: "You don't have to do this, I will avenge you on my own."

Then, he immediately added: "You, you don't regret it."

Gan Qing: "Please..."

…

"General, your hair..."

Xie Yu changed direction: "It's too late to regret."

Gan Qing: "The little girl has no regrets."

But the movement stalled.

Xie Yu secretly exclaimed: "Everyone has their face there!"

Ignore her and keep working hard.

…

The next day, Xie Yu listened to Gan Qing's explanation, looked at the bloody bandit camp distribution map, and compared it with the marching map in his mind, and came up with a rough plan.

Afterwards, Xie Yu returned to the old military camp that had roughly taken shape in high spirits.

Then he looked at the roster and found that there were more than 300 women who had surrendered to the army, while there were only less than 200 men. Xie Yu didn't know how to evaluate it for a while. Women are heroes, and the yin is strong and the yang is weak. Let's not discuss it for now.

Let the craftsmen in the army set aside a small barracks in a corner of the old military camp to serve as a barracks for the new female soldiers to prevent "accidents" from happening.

In fact, just as Xie Yu expected, when the female soldiers entered the military camp, some male soldiers sneaked in to visit them.

The female soldier who was guarding the camp for the first time did not dare to resist after being caught.

Xie Yu hung him up and whipped him several times to set an example for everyone.

Of course, privately Xie Yu admired his courage and secretly asked him to pursue the woman he liked. Of course, first of all, this woman must have no husband.

After checking the roster, Xie Yu knew that 80% of these female soldiers were widows, and more than 10% were unmarried.

Those who were married and had husbands only had a few couples, and they were basically not on good terms with each other, so they used the military camp as a refuge.

Sure enough, slogans are only temporary, but life is long-lasting.

Then, we have recruited enough soldiers, but Qing County is just a sub-county and does not even have its own independent arsenal.

There was no other way, so Xie Yu had no choice but to make enough food and clothing by herself.

But even now, I may have to participate in the anti-bandit campaign.

After thinking for a while, Xie Yu focused on the old green bamboo in the mountain forest.

Let County Magistrate Cheng Lao mobilize the entire county to provide logistical support, focusing on the crafts of bamboo craftsmen, carpenters, and blacksmiths.
