Faced with hundreds of bandits, Guo Tong and his men had almost no power to resist.
Although there are people among them who are skilled in martial arts, their skills are only average.
Soon, those who were still resisting were completely overwhelmed by hundreds of bandits.
The screams and pleas for mercy from Guo Tong and others were endless.
However, neither Yun Zheng nor the bandits showed mercy to them.
Gradually, the screams of Guo Tong and others gradually disappeared.
"Kill them!"
"Guo Tong, you have come to this day!"
"Beat him, beat him to death..."
Even though Guo Tong and others couldn't even scream, the bandits still didn't let them go.
...
...
Only after these corrupt officials were beaten beyond recognition did the bandits gradually calm down.
"run!"
“Run!”
Someone shouted loudly, and the bandits fled in all directions like headless flies.
If you run away, there may still be hope of survival.
But staying here means death.
Looking at these bandits fleeing everywhere, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
escape?
Can you escape?
Yun Zheng waved to Du Guiyuan and others, and they immediately led their elite cavalry to pursue.
In less than a cup of tea, all the bandits were killed.
There were only corpses left on the ground.
However, Guo Tong and others had already died.
After confirming that Guo Tong and others were dead, Yun Zheng allowed everyone to enter the city.
It’s getting late.
If we don’t enter the city now, it will be dark.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these corpses?"
Gao He warned: "If these corpses are left here, it will easily cause plague."
"Then burn it!"
Yun Zheng gave an order and got into the carriage.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually feeling very emotional.
When he closed his eyes, the bloody scene lingered in his mind.
Although he was a top student at the Command Academy in his previous life, he had never actually been on the battlefield.
When he personally witnessed this scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it had a profound impact on his heart.
In particular, the lives and deaths of these people are all in his hands.
With just a wave of his hand, hundreds or thousands of people would fall to the ground.
After all, he is not an iron-blooded general and cannot be as ruthless as those who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
"I hope I won't lose my true self in the killing!"
Yun Zheng sighed silently and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, Shen Luoyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked in.
Seeing Yun Zheng closing his eyes to rest, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but tease: "Are you scared?"
“Somewhat.”
Yun Zheng nodded slightly.
"Huh?"
Shen Luoyan approached Yun Zheng in surprise, "You actually admitted it?"
"There's nothing I'm afraid to admit." Yun Zheng slowly opened his eyes, "No one is born bloodthirsty, we all get there step by step!"
"Really?"
Shen Luoyan tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded and said, "To be honest, I should be glad that you feel scared."
"Why?" Yun Zheng asked curiously.
Shen Luoyan stopped joking and said seriously: "You have been hiding so deeply. If you can watch so many people lose their heads and remain indifferent, then you are too scary..."
Yun Zheng's current behavior is what a normal person should behave like.
After all, he had stayed in the deep palace for so many years and had basically had no contact with the outside world.
If Yun Zheng could ignore death, she should suspect that Yun Zheng had been confined in the palace for too long, causing his heart to become twisted.
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
"It's rare that you can actually think of something."
Yun Zheng joked.
"you……"
Chen Luoyan choked slightly and said angrily: "I find that your words are really unpleasant to the ear! I came to see you with good intentions, but you can't even say a nice word?"
"You want something nice to say, right?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a wicked smile: "My beloved concubine, please hug me and comfort me!"
"roll!"
Chen Luoyan glared at Yun Zheng unhappily, then angrily pulled open the curtain and walked out.
Talking to this bastard is really infuriating.
Everything was fine at first, but as we were talking, things became unruly.
…
It was almost midnight when they entered Wuyang County.
Most of the officials in Wuyang County have died, and the highest-ranking official in the county now is the County Lord Historian.
Yun Zheng ordered his men to call the chief historian and told him, "When County Magistrate Guo and his men were leaving the city to welcome me, they were attacked by a group of bandits led by Zhao Heihu. Although my soldiers arrived in time and wiped out the bandits, they all died..."
"What?"
The chief historian stared at Yun Zheng blankly, hardly able to believe his ears.
Yun Zheng didn't want to explain so much to him, and ordered: "You will temporarily take over the post of county governor and report to the court. Before the new county governor arrives, you will be in charge of all the affairs of the county!"
"this……"
The chief historian looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, right?"
"Nothing inappropriate."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I have to rush to Shuobei early tomorrow morning, so I don't have time to waste in Wuyang! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary things! Such a large county cannot be without someone in charge."
"yes!"
Since Yun Zheng said so, the chief historian had no choice but to agree.
After the chief historian left, Yun Zheng called Du Guiyuan and four others.
"Tomorrow, you will reorganize the troops from various groups and divide these 1,000 soldiers into four groups!"
"There may be many bandits on our way to Shuobei. Starting tomorrow, lead two groups of troops to clear out the bandits ahead of our main force every day. Just think of it as training!"
"How you train your troops is up to you! But I have only one request. If you can outsmart them, don't use force. Try to reduce casualties as much as possible, preferably zero casualties!"
"Also, you can also send people to inquire along the way. If there are bandits worth recruiting, you can recruit them! As for those bandits who have committed many evil deeds, you can decide how to deal with them!"
These were all what Yun Zheng thought of on the way.
What happened today also gave him a wake-up call.
They are getting farther and farther away from the imperial city!
As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the number of bandits along the way may gradually increase.
He doesn't need so many people to protect him, it would be better to allocate half of the people to train the soldiers.
No matter how you practice, nothing is as practical as actual combat!
In this way, after arriving in Shuobei, the earliest recruited soldiers should be able to be put on the table for inspection.
"Your Highness, this is the most appropriate move!"
Du Guiyuan nodded and said, "This way, we can not only achieve the goal of training troops, but also do something for the people of the states and counties along the way. It really kills two birds with one stone!"
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "As for the personnel, you can arrange them on your own! However, you must send someone to report your movements to me in time! In addition, if you encounter a large group of bandits, run away if you need to, and don't fight them to the death if you can't win! Our people are more valuable than those bandits!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the four of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Sixth Prince actually cares about his subordinates.
Following someone like the Sixth Prince is not necessarily a bad thing...
