Chapter 1058 Leading the troops to the battle

Half an hour later, Xu Dashan bowed his hands to Wu Fan and left with a solemn expression.

What Wu Fan asked him to do has been explained very clearly. Xu Dashan finally understood why Wu Fan was so solemn. Moreover, Wu Fan was able to leave this matter to him, which is enough to show that Wu Fan trusts and trusts him very much. Attention, which made Xu Dashan feel both pressure and relief in his heart. He had never experienced this feeling of being valued and trusted by Ran Guang.

Although Ran Guang has many subordinates, and Xu Dashan is an important figure under Ran Guang, Ran Guang only believes in himself and is wary of others. Xu Dashan knows this very well.

Therefore, Xu Dashan was very moved to be valued so much by Wu Fan not long after he surrendered to Wu Fan.

"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely complete what you asked me to do!" Xu Dashan swore secretly in his heart.

After sending Xu Dashan away, Wu Fan was not idle. Peng Jun and Niu Er, under the guidance of Tang San, came to Wu Fan.

"Sir!" The two of them said to Wu Fan at the same time.

"Tang San should have told you the purpose of coming to you just now." Wu Fan said to the two of them: "Tell me, what's going on over there?"

"I told you, grandma, we can finally fight with real swords and guns! The people on my side can set off at any time." Niu Er waved his fist and said excitedly.

Being kept in the hermit village for training, Niu Er has long been suppressed. He has asked Wu Fan many times before and wanted to go to the battlefield, but Wu Fan did not agree. This time, he finally got his wish. .

"Sir, I have only taken over the city's garrison for a short period of time, and I cannot yet train them like elite troops." Peng Jun said: "However, they are the regular army of the imperial court after all, and their foundation is still there, but they have been somewhat neglected in recent years. , I have strengthened their discipline training in the past two days, but the time is too short. At present, we cannot fight a tough battle, but we can still fight against the rebels. "

Peng Jun does have some means and abilities in military training, but he is not a god. It is impossible for the garrison in Qingyuan County to undergo earth-shaking changes overnight and allow them to advance and retreat on the battlefield in a controlled manner. But at least the situation is better than before. It's a lot better. If we fight against the rebels, it won't be a big problem. After all, the rebels are mostly untrained and poorly equipped people. The imperial army has an advantage against them and won't have much psychological pressure. , Therefore, it is not a big problem to attack Ran Guang's headquarters.

"Very good, gather your people immediately and follow me out of the city." Wu Fan said to the two of them, then he looked at Tang San and said: "Now go and summon the guards in the mansion and ask them to follow you out of the city. "

"Yes, sir!" The three of them responded at the same time.

"Wait!" When the three were about to leave, Wu Fan stopped them again and said with a faint smile on his face: "This operation may be a little special. Please follow my arrangements on the way."

"Yes, sir." Although the three of them were a little confused about Wu Fan's words, they all agreed. They would obey Wu Fan's orders without hesitation, and naturally they would not care too much.

"Tang San, I have something to tell you." Wu Fan called out to Tang San.

Then, Wu Fan whispered a few words into Tang San's ear. Tang San was slightly surprised, but he still nodded in agreement.

An hour later, all the teams in the city, except Xu Dashan and his men, gathered in the square in the city. Wu Fan looked at the many teams lined up in front of him, waved his hand, and said loudly:

"Set off!"

Afterwards, Peng Jun and Niu Er led their respective teams towards the outside of the city. As for the guards in Wu Mansion, they followed Wu Fan, but Tang San was nowhere to be seen.

"Wu Fan!"

Just when Wu Fan was about to set off with the guards from the Wu Mansion, a familiar voice came from behind.

Wu Fan tightened the reins and stopped the sitting horse.

"Wu Fan, are you going to suppress bandits?" Zhao Qi brought Xiao Qing to Wu Fan and asked.

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded and said, "A group of rebels were discovered. In order to prevent them from escaping, I must lead the team there immediately."

"Are there many of them? Are they dangerous? I heard that the training of the defenders in this city was very lax because of the former general. Can you defeat the rebels with them?" Zhao Qi asked with a worried look on his face. road.

Zhao Qi was still making soup in the Wu Mansion, but when she saw all the nurses in the mansion hurriedly leaving, she immediately realized that something had happened, so she asked someone to inquire about it. After learning that Wu Fan was about to go on an expedition, she immediately took Xiaoqing with her. Come.

Looking at the worried look on Zhao Qi's face, it was obvious that she was worried about Wu Fan's safety. On the way from the imperial capital to Qingyuan County, she also encountered many rebels, especially not far from Qingyuan County. The Zhou Dalong troops she met almost killed her. Therefore, Zhao Qi knew very well how powerful those people were. Now that she saw that Wu Fan was going on an expedition with some very powerful people, she naturally felt... Worry.

"It's okay." Wu Fan smiled at Zhao Qi and said, "It's just a bunch of rabble, and they can't threaten me. Although the defenders in Qingyuan County have been loosely trained for a while, they are the regular army of the imperial court after all. Far from being comparable to the rebels who don’t even have weapons, this battle doesn’t pose much of a threat.”

Although what Wu Fan said was mostly true, it was not entirely true. Although some of the rebels under Ran Guang did not have weapons, it was not right to say that they were a mob. They were able to become one of the three major rebel forces around Qingyuan County, and Ran Guang's troops were still strong. Wu Fan did not underestimate them too much. The reason why he said this to Zhao Qi was just to comfort Zhao Qi.

"Really? Are they really that weak?" Zhao Qi seemed a little unconvinced.

"It's not that they are weak, it depends on who goes to fight." Wu Fan smiled and said, "If I take people to fight, there will be no problem."

"Boasting." Zhao Qi said, but seeing Wu Fan so confident, Zhao Qi was obviously relieved and smiled a little: "No matter what, you have to be careful, I'll wait for you in the mansion."

"Okay!" Wu Fan nodded, then squeezed his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse walked forward, followed by the guards of Wu Mansion.

Zhao Qi did not leave immediately, but stood there watching Wu Fan's back as he left, with some worry in her eyes.

No matter how confident Wu Fan was, the rebels were still rebels after all, and they were still very dangerous. Zhao Qi was afraid that something might happen to Wu Fan.

"Princess, let's go back. Lord Wu is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him." Xiao Qing said to Zhao Qi.

"Yes." Zhao Qi nodded.
