Astral Apostle

   Chapter 216 Expansion and Induction

   Under Sheng Rong's statement, this gang of seven or eight hundred water bandits joined Zhou Jing's command.

  The gangsters don't care about this, as long as the leader behaves in a decent way, then they are the same as everyone else, not to mention that this Chen Feng is so fierce, no matter how you look at it, he is better than Sheng Rong.

   Relying on Lulin's fame and skill, he easily subdued this small gang. Zhou Jing immediately asked everyone to count the water village, and the result was obtained in less than half an hour.

The exact number of this small wind lake water bandit is 872, of which about 430 can fight. Sturdy.

   The water village is very small, with limited stocks of materials. There are only more than 300 daggers and sharp knives as weapons, as well as a few kitchen knives and pitchforks. There is no armor, and the stock of food is very small.

   The most important material is boats, there are quite a few, there are hundreds of them, all of them are small boats in the same water, and they are fast, but they are all quite old, there are knife edges everywhere, and there are many repair marks.

   Having roughly figured out the situation, Zhou Jing called everyone and said his thoughts:

"We are gathering here, and naturally we want to make a name for ourselves in the green forest. Sheng Rong will switch to me, and I will most likely face Fan Zong, so we will deal with this person first, take down more of his territory, lead him to take action, and then put him on the line. Fight and let me wait for my brother to gain a firm foothold in Huyang."

  You are new here and have no foundation, so annexing the existing pirates is naturally the fastest way to develop.

   His current strategic intention is very simple, because he has pryed the corner of Fan Zong, the "Golden Scale King", it is impossible to be good, so he just keeps taking Fan Zong to the knife.

   First, use his prestige and martial arts to **** away more water bandit gangs under Fan Zong's command, forcing this guy to take action, and then fight Fan Zong again, swallowing this person's power.

  The three Huyang Floods compete with each other, and he only deals with one of them, and will not provoke the other two for the time being.

   As a result, the other two parties will either sit on the sidelines, or beat the underdog together, and the chance of helping Fan Zong to deal with himself is very low.

   After he replaced Fan Zong with thunder, the other two would either sense the threat and join forces to fight against him, or plan to use a knife to kill people to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

   Hearing Zhou Jing's plan, everyone was quite excited, among them Sheng Rong, who had just joined the team.

   Good guy, worthy of being a hero of the green forest, the tone that comes up is to directly confront one of the local bosses, it is really a dragon across the river!

Zhou Jing paused for a while, and then said: "Our gang is not big, so we won't be in the seat for now. The old brothers will take the lead, and we will not assign real positions for the time being. In addition, there are many rivers and lakes in Huyang, and currently only brothers Sheng Rong are good at it. He has water warfare and understands the terrain, so he temporarily trains the navy, while the other brothers follow him to practice water first."

   "I'll see."

   Guo Haishen, Fang Zhen and others nodded.

   Zhou Jing looked at Sheng Rong again and said:

"Although the brothers and their subordinates have just joined me, they are treated equally. The secret books I have been searching for in Jiangchun are not only spread among the people, but also open to all brothers. You can practice whatever kung fu you want to practice on your own. If you don't understand, go to ask the leaders."

   Sheng Rong was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Thank you, brothers!"

   As soon as you join the team, you can learn advanced skills and get guidance from a group of green forest experts, which is a great benefit. As a bandit who licks blood with a knife, martial arts are the ability to save their lives and eat, and no one wants to improve their skills.

   Zhou Jing waved his hand and continued:

"We are currently based on Xiaofenghu Lake, which is only an expedient measure. In the end, we have to settle down on Caoyue Mountain Lake, but it is not the time to enter. Brother Shengrong, you know the situation nearby, and you still need to tell me about the waterway under Fanzong of the Qing Dynasty. For the site distribution of the second general, we will first take down the neighboring water bandits to expand the site."

"clear."

   Sheng Rong was solemn.

At this time, Fang Zhen thought about it and suddenly asked: "Second brother, now that Fan Zong doesn't know if I'm here, why don't you let Brother Sheng Rong go to see Fan Zong? Take it down, capture the thief first and capture the king, just like in Hutou Mountain, wouldn’t it be faster?”

   Zhou Jing touched his chin and pondered:

"I have also thought about this plan, but the situation in Huyang is different from that of Luhe. The pirates' territory is scattered. Although it is convenient to take Fan Zong with a single shot, it will not be able to make a name like me. Even if this person is replaced, he will have pirates everywhere Most of them will not join us, but go to the other two of the Huyang Three Flood Dragons. In this way, we have become bare commanders, and we can only subdue the troops of Fan Zong's headquarters, but cannot command the water bandits everywhere, and the territory is reversed. The other two flood dragons are surrounded by them. At that time, if they come up with the idea of ​​subduing others, they will definitely attract the other two people to attack, and they will be hindered, and it will not be easy to start."

   Duan Yunfeng's eyes flashed and he said:

"So it turns out, Brother Chen wants to subdue many pirates first, pretending to be entrenched here, then they can lead Fan Zong to order troops to attack, and then defeat the opponent on the battlefield, not only to capture Fan Zong, but also to capture him. With many water generals under his command, he has completed his work in one battle, conquered a large number of water bandits in one fell swoop, and became famous in one battle?"

   "Almost so."

   Zhou Jing nodded, this Yunfeng understood his intention.

   Even if he conquered a few more pirates, the number of soldiers and horses would be far less than that of Fan Zong, but his group was as skilled as a cloud, and if he wanted to win more with less, he had to use this advantage.

  Unfortunately, the No. 3 Apostle Bill is not here, otherwise a tornado will blow directly over during the water battle, and no matter how many people come, it will be for nothing.

   He then explained some details and asked about the distribution of the surrounding water bandits, which made the leaders dispersed.

   The gang is still small and does not need a fine division of labor, but when the scale grows, it will need an organizational structure.

   The group of people in the green forest around me are mostly vulgar warriors. If they gather in the mountains and forests, they also need talents such as internal affairs management, military training and warfare.

  Either cultivate it by yourself, let potential people take the top, and have experience in doing it, or annex other big bandits for incorporation, or launch a banner and wait for heroes from all walks of life to defect.

   In short, there are still a lot of talent gaps under his command. It seems that he needs to inquire about such special talents in the green forest, and he is shocked when he runs to these people.

   In addition, although his own martial arts are extraordinary, if it is a large-scale battle, the method of marching and fighting is still important.

   Zhou Jing himself doesn't know much about this. Even if he checks the information in the main world, it will easily become a paper talk. Besides, the way of training troops in the interstellar era may not be suitable for the environment of cold weapon fighting, and he does not want to show too many signs of the main world.

   The method of military training in this era fits the limited conditions of this era and naturally has merit. He intends to find some talents who can really train and fight, observe their practices, and then make subtle improvements based on the knowledge accumulated in the main world, and summarize a set of practical methods.

  Because of the limited conditions, Zhou Jing has no intention of improving, and he does not want to be able to cultivate some elites in a hundred battles. As long as the quality of his subordinates can reach the upper-middle or middle level of the world, he should not flee as soon as he takes on the battle, and he can use them.

   He only intends to dabble in the art of hunting, but he does not intend to delve into it in depth. Compared with commanding battles, charging into battle can exert his own power more. As long as he can find military talents who don't pull his crotch, he feels that it is enough to give orders instead of giving orders when he enters the battle.

   With the current strategic goals, everyone mobilized.

   After resting for two days, Zhou Jing took his men and horses to attack everywhere and went straight to the nearby water bandit sites.

During the    period, there was hardly any decent resistance. These pirate leaders heard about Chen Feng's name and saw his skills.

   The talent [Men of Dominance] is not an ordinary user.

   The only one with some resistance was a team of 3,000 pirates, entrenched in a large lake. The leader was a top-ranked navy general under Fan Zong. Because they felt that they were evenly matched, they were unwilling to serve Zhou Jing directly.

  The two sides played a game on the lake. Under Zhou Jing's inhuman performance, their own momentum was like a rainbow, and their opponents doubted life and had no fighting spirit.

   As a result, all the pirates were captured, and the leader was beaten obediently and surrendered.

   It didn't take long for Zhou Jing to pry five of Fanzong's sites away and subdue five groups of pirates, including Sheng Rong.

   The news that "the devil of the world" Chen Feng appeared in Huyang and set up a stick and planted a flag here also spread quickly, alarming the local green forest.

  …

boom!

   "Hateful! I have no grievances with this Chen Feng in the past, why did he touch my bad head? This guy wants to gain a foothold in Huyang, so he will cut me and treat me as a soft persimmon!"

   Fan Zong slapped the table vigorously, furious.

   He is a slender, middle-aged man with two long beards on his lips. At first glance, he looks like a catfish, and he likes to wear yellow clothes all the year round, so he has the nickname "Golden Scale King".

   Not long ago, he received a letter from the minions, and he was shocked and angry when he learned that there were Wulu Shui generals under his command who defected to Chen Feng.

   Originally, Huyang had three pillars, the situation was stalemate, and they checked and balanced each other for many years, but now a dragon crossed the river suddenly, which suddenly broke the balance.

   As a local snake targeted by Guo Jianglong, Fan Zong was naturally annoyed. Not only was he angry at the provocation, but he also secretly hated Chen Feng for creating opportunities for the other two old rivals.

The Shanzhai military advisor next to him stroked his beard and pondered: "This Chen Feng is not allowed to be in the right way, and he can only get rid of the grass and become a bandit. And this person has a high reputation in the green forest, and his ambitions are very high. I think he has a great intention to replace the village owner."

   "Humph! Don't even think about it!" Fan Zong hummed angrily: "Although I respect this man as a good guy, but since he's staring at me, I can't spare him!"

   After saying that, Fan Zong suddenly stood up, summoned the messenger, and shouted:

"It is rumored that all waters will come, and I will send troops to attack this Chen Feng, let him know that Huyang is not a place where he is allowed to run wild, it is the dragon for me, the tiger for me to lie down, and I want to stand here. Shantou, first ask me if I will answer!"

  Fan Zong didn't dare to sit back and watch Zhou Jing encroach on his territory. If he didn't stop it immediately, he might really become a bare commander.

   Moreover, if he was beaten on the head, if he did not fight back, his current position would not be preserved. The rest of the pirates felt that he could not provide protection for their respective territories and would consider switching to others.

   Therefore, he is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.

   Just when Fan Zong had to fight back, the other two people of Huyang Sanjiao also received the news. In addition to being surprised, they also felt schadenfreude.

   After discussing with their leader, the two made the same reaction.

   First, hold still, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

  If there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, he will take the opportunity to encroach on Fanzong's territory, beat down the underdog, and even get rid of this old rival once and for all, and come out to compete for the fisherman's profit.

   As for Chen Feng, if they lose in the war, they don't mind getting down and driving such powerful competitors out of Huyang.

  …

   Yunxia Mountain, Nanhua School.

   "What? Then Chen Feng came to Huyang? He also set up a hill here, planning to stay there for a long time?"

   Sect Leader Luo Zhen was taken aback and hurriedly asked the disciple who sent the letter whether it was true.

   got a positive answer, and Luo Zhen couldn't sit still.

   "This person has harmed all the schools in Jiangchun. Maybe he knows the taste, and he wants to repeat the old tricks. As the leading martial arts school in Huyang, my Nanhua School will definitely bear the brunt! The martial arts conference can't be delayed any longer!"

  Luo Zhen's face was gloomy and uncertain.

  Because of the distance, there are still many sects that are far away, and no answer has been given.

   But he couldn't wait any longer, for fear that Chen Feng felt that the journey was too close, so he went directly to the Nanhua faction to get the secret book, so even if he could get it back later, the loss would be irreversible.

   Thinking of this, Luo Zhen made a decision, and ordered in a deep voice:

   "Release news on the rivers and lakes that the major sects will hold a martial arts conference and compete with Chen Feng. I will write another invitation, and you will send it to Chen Feng and make an appointment to attend the meeting next spring."

In his opinion, the appointment time for the fight should be able to stabilize Chen Feng, so that this guy will not bring disaster to Huyang Wulin in the short term, just give them enough time to contact other sects, and invite experts from all over the world to fight the devil together. head.

  …

   "This Chen Feng actually came to Huyang, and is he planning to stay here?"

  Huyang Fanzhou Prefecture, the prefect found out about this from the officials and raised his brows.

  Jiang Chun's lessons are still in front of him. As a prefect of a prefecture, he is also extremely jealous of Chen Feng.

  The prefect of Fanzhou pondered for a while, made a decision, smiled coldly, and murmured:

"This fellow is a thorn in the court's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. How can he be allowed to grow big? If he is wandering around, it is really difficult to deal with, but since he wants to stand on the top of the mountain, it will be easy. , by the way, even the Huyang bandits will be wiped out, and the world will be prosperous!”
