Qingyang County Military Camp.
Pei Yun asked Xu Zong to go ahead and report to Yuan Zheng so that he could arrange accommodation in the military camp.
300 people is not too many, but not too few either, but we can't just sleep outside.
Yuan Zheng came out to greet him personally. Originally, such a small matter could be arranged by sending a military officer or Sima.
But Pei Yun is different. He is about to become the prince's son-in-law, so Yuan Zheng naturally wants to maintain a better relationship with him.
"Meet Master Yuan."
Pei Yun dismounted and clasped his fists, and Leng Qingqiu followed suit.
Yuan Zheng smiled and said, "We don't need to be so polite to each other. Come with me into the camp." Then he glanced at Leng Qingqiu and whispered, "Women are not allowed to enter the military camp. I'll make an exception for you this time, but I won't do it next time."
Pei Yun immediately said: "Thank you very much, Master Yuan."
He also knew that Yuan was doing him a favor for the sake of the prince, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If he became the prince's son-in-law, he would indeed have privileges in certain things.
The group entered the military camp, which immediately caused people in the camp to whisper.
"Is this the rebel army that has cleared its identity as a bandit?"
"They are carrying something, it looks weird."
"Hey, they even let women in. Captain Yuan is making an exception."
"Tsk tsk, this woman is attractive, but a little cold."
“…”
The three hundred volunteers were also full of curiosity. This was their first time entering a regular military camp. They looked around.
"Captain Pei, your people will stay here temporarily."
Yuan Zheng brought Pei Yun to a barracks.
Pei Yun nodded, arranged for everyone to stay, and followed Yuan Zheng to the central military tent.
"Captain Pei, you've come at the right time. There's a group of bandits near Qingyang County that we haven't been able to take down. We've suffered heavy casualties in our multiple attempts to siege them."
Yuan Zheng said this, pointing his finger at a location on the map.
"This mountain is called Broken Blade Cliff. The terrain is extremely dangerous. There is only a narrow mountain road leading up to it. The bandits have set up sentries on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road..."
"The bandits here have been entrenched for many years, causing trouble for the neighbors. We have surrounded and suppressed them many times, but we were unable to attack the mountain because the terrain was too dangerous. Captain Pei, do you have any ideas?"
Pei Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Just looking at this map, I can't tell what it is. Tomorrow I will go to this Broken Blade Cliff to investigate."
Yuan Zheng smiled and said, "If you can wipe out this group of bandits, Captain Pei, you will have done a great deed."
Pei Yun smiled and said, "Apart from the bandits at Broken Blade Cliff, are there any other places?"
"have."
Yuan Zheng pointed out a few more places, all of which were easy to defend but difficult to attack. Pei Yun was a little confused.
No, there are so many bandits outside Qingyang County, and you didn’t eliminate any of them?
Then why are you officers and soldiers stationed here?
Seeing Pei Yun's eyes, Yuan Zheng's face was a little embarrassed. "There were more than ten bandit problems before, but now there are only a few left. The main reason is that the bandits in these places occupy too dangerous terrain, so a large number of officers and soldiers cannot go up, so they put it aside."
"It's a pity that Liu Xiao is dead. Otherwise, if he were still here, we would have wiped out these bandits long ago." Yuan Zheng said and shook his head. In his mind, Liu Xiao was still quite capable and had wiped out quite a few bandits. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the barbarians.
The two discussed for a while, and Pei Yun said, "Master Yuan, you are not going to let me go alone to suppress the bandits this time, are you? No other reinforcements?"
Yuan Zheng smiled and said, "Just tell me who you want, and I will satisfy you."
He had no way to deal with the banditry in Qingyang County and could only count on Pei Yun. Pei Yun was born a bandit and might have a way to deal with them. Moreover, 300 people could kill 1,000 barbarians, which meant they had strong combat power.
"I'm not very familiar with the generals in the barracks. Sir Yuan, could you introduce them to me?"
Pei Yun did not directly ask for Cao Bing in order to avoid arousing suspicion, so Yuan Zheng introduced him immediately.
In the military camp in Qingyang County, in addition to Yuan Zheng, there are five captains under him.
After Yuan Zheng finished the introduction, Pei Yun said, "Since Captain Cao was promoted from a military officer, he must have some abilities. Why not let him be the one?"
Yuan Zheng smiled and said, "Captain Pei has a good eye. Among my captains, the best at suppressing bandits, besides Liu Xiao, is Cao Bing. I was originally planning to let Cao Bing assist you. I will let him come and meet you."
Not long after, Cao Bing came in, a sturdy middle-aged man with an extremely conspicuous scar on his face.
Yuan Zhengdao said, "Captain Cao, let me introduce you to Captain Pei Yun. This time, you will cooperate with Captain Pei to eliminate all the bandits."
Cao Bing glanced at Pei Yun with a look of confusion on his face. The other party was only a thousand households, while he was a captain, with a higher official position than Pei Yun, but he asked him to cooperate with him.
However, since it was arranged by the captain, he did not ask any more questions, but just nodded in agreement. Pei Yun glanced at Cao Bing and then said goodbye.
As soon as Pei Yun left, Cao Bing whispered, "Sir, who is this man?"
Yuan Zhengdao: "The prince's son-in-law, you have to cooperate well, okay?"
Cao Bing understood, it was a relationship.
No wonder he asked me to cooperate. His status as the prince's son-in-law was something he couldn't afford to offend. He couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
He worked hard to start from a small soldier, and became a military marquis through his military achievements, and finally became a captain. However, the other party, who was younger than him, became a captain through nepotism, and now he wanted to give him orders.
But there was no other way. Seeing that Yuan Zheng cared a lot about Pei Yun, he had no choice but to cooperate.
…
Before daybreak the next day, Sun Gan took his men out for drill. This was a habit he had developed in the mountain village and it could not be changed.
