Liu He opened it and read it, and then he understood what was going on, and returned the letter to Zhu Ye.

"Well, this is also a good thing. Brother Qian Li is not good at fighting, but he is very talented in handling these things. I don't have any objection. You can give this letter to Qian Tingzhang for review. If he has no objection, then agree to it.

Please accept Wanshou Township’s request.”

"Hey, okay, listen to big brother!"

Zhu Ye took the letter and handed it to a local hero beside him. After explaining a few words, the man quickly ran towards the home of Chief Qian Ting.

While the two were talking, another noisy sound of marching came over.

"Big brother! Fifth brother! Haha!"

The two of them looked in the direction of the source of the sound, but it was Zhang Yong who had returned with his troops, and they hurriedly greeted him with great joy.

But before they could be happy, the two of them noticed the bandaged wound on Zhang Yong's left rib.

"Huh? Fourth brother, what's going on with you? Who has the ability to hurt my fourth brother?"

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly: "Oh, don't mention it. This time I underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect that there are good players in the bandit army. I fought against three team leaders alone. After killing one of them, the other two bandit leaders also

When they entered the melee, my little brother was not good at martial arts and was stabbed by one of their guns, but the wound was not deep and he was not seriously injured."

After hearing what he said, several local heroes behind him quit.

"Master Zhang is very skilled in martial arts. He killed all five of his opponents in just a few dozen moves! If we hadn't failed to live up to expectations and distracted Master Zhang to save him, he wouldn't have been injured! We were the ones who dragged him down..."

Zhang Yong scolded him behind him: "Don't talk nonsense! We are all brothers, how can we not save him in the face of death? How can we say that we are not a drag? If you say this again in the future, please don't recognize me as your brother!"

But after saying this, Liu He understood what happened.

"Haha, fourth brother is right. If we all cherish our lives and ignore the friendship of teammates, wouldn't we be as virtuous as those shameless officers and soldiers? You can go to the medicine garden later and ask Mr. Xu to prepare some medicine."

"I will obey my brother's orders!" Zhang Yong said with a smile and clasped his fists.

After a while, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang also returned with their troops. The group hugged each other and laughed, extremely happy.

On the back hill, several people sat in a circle, telling each other what had happened in the past month, which made everyone salivate. Everyone was beaming with joy, and burst into laughter and ridicule from time to time.

"Brothers, you have worked hard this time. Now we have probably eliminated more than half of the bandits and bandits in Langtiao County. This is all thanks to everyone!"

Liu He's face was filled with relief.

"Big brother, thank you. Since we brothers are determined to protect the country and the people and make contributions to the country, then these are naturally our duties. The government doesn't care, we take care of it. There must be a place for reasoning in the world."

Guan Yu is now twenty-two years old, and his beard is more than a foot long. His beautiful beard has already begun to appear, and he looks very majestic.

"By the way, are any brothers injured in this battle?" Liu He suddenly asked seriously.

After hearing this, several people's expressions suddenly showed a trace of sadness. Liu He knew that something was wrong when he saw it.

"Well, this battle was indeed a bit more tragic than the previous ones. A total of sixteen brothers were killed in our three groups, and more than forty others were injured. Three of the dead were local residents, and thirteen

They were brothers who were later recruited from various mountain villages. I have asked villagers who are familiar with them in the army to bring enough food and money to support their families. As for the injured, they have been bandaged and treated separately, and Mr. Xu has taken some villagers to take care of them.

"

Listening to Zhang Yong's report, Liu He felt a little sad.

These local warriors have been training with them and killing enemies together for several years, and many of them have known each other since they were children.

But besides being sad, Liu He also knew that there was another very important thing to do, which was to appease the morale of the soldiers.

When someone dies in battle for the first time, some soldiers will inevitably feel fear, and there will definitely be hostility towards the newly surrendered bandits and their families, which will be very detrimental to the unity of the military in the future.

"Without further delay, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, fourth brother, please immediately order someone to notify us. Except for the injured, everyone else will gather in the valley on time tomorrow without delay!"

Zhang Yong knew that Liu He must have something important to give him, so he did not dare to delay and went down to do it immediately.

After arranging some matters, everyone was a little tired, so Liu He gave everyone a holiday and went back to Liu He's home to wash up and rest.

"System prompt: The host has completed tasks and has not received rewards. Please check the host."

The sound of the system woke up Liu He who was enjoying a medicinal bath.

"Huh? Has a mission been completed? What mission is it? I need to see it."

Liu He quickly clicked on the system task interface and found that there was indeed a task shining brightly, indicating that it had been completed.

"It turns out that the task is for the generals to kill the enemy generals instantly on the battlefield. That's right. The second brother and the fifth brother seemed to have killed the enemy bandit leader with one shot during this bandit suppression. It seems that Yun Chang was earlier, so he should do this

The reward will be distributed to him."

"Ding! The host successfully received the mission reward: 100 reward points, and Guan Yu's basic force increased by 1 point."

Liu He took a look and found that Guan Yu's martial arts had now reached 92 points, and it was difficult to improve it through daily practice.

"It seems that we can only truly unleash the potential of the Martial Saint after the war begins in the future and through a long-term fighting career."

The next day, more than 900 local warriors, more than 400 newly captured bandits, and more than 300 young men who had just joined from Sanxiang, all gathered in the valley, and everyone stood in front of them with eager eyes.

Liu He on the Stone.

The scene was completely silent, either out of respect or out of fear, in short, no one spoke to each other.

Liu He looked at the 1,600 or 700 people in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Brothers! You have worked hard over the past month!"

As soon as Liu He said these words, the more than 900 soldiers who were originally from the Anmin Army immediately stood up straight and shouted: "It's not hard to protect the country and the people!"

This chorus shocked more than 700 other people. They all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, wanting to see what the Anmin Army was going to do.

"Well done!" Liu He praised, "But I also know what everyone is thinking right now! I know what all of you are thinking!"

Everyone looked curious, wanting to hear how Liu He would express their thoughts.

Liu He pointed at the more than 900 people: "You, like us, have been brothers for many years! In this bandit suppression, some brothers died and some were injured. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" Everyone still shouted in unison, but their voices were obviously not as loud as before, and their tone was not as firm.

"Nonsense! Who can not be afraid? This is fighting, killing and being killed. Even I am afraid! Many years ago, our village was attacked by bandits at night. It was the first time for us to kill anyone. After that, we were in my house

On the hillside behind, everyone was trembling with fear, so much that they couldn't even hold a stick!"

Only the nearby villagers know about this matter. Currently, most of the people in the Xiangyong Team do not know about it, so they are all interested at this time. It turns out that several commanders who look so powerful have also been scared at times.

.

"Yesterday, when I saw the bodies of those brothers and the wounds on my fourth brother Zhang Yong's body, I was even more afraid! I was afraid that my brothers who were close to me would leave me, and I was also afraid that one day I would be lying in bed.

here!"
