The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and although the rain was not dense, it had already wet the ground, making the road a little muddy.
Some dark spots in the distance gradually appeared in sight, but not long after, everyone standing at the city gate could see clearly that although there was no sunlight, the silver armor was still shining.
"The men from the garrison camp are here!"
Feng Yuzhi was by Lin Haoming's side. Today was the day when the garrison troops arrived at Chigang City. Including Feng Yuzhi, the three giants of Chigang City were waiting for them at the east gate.
"Batalion Commander Ma Huan, I heard that you know him?" Lin Haoming whispered.
"She is a child of my husband's main wife's natal family! She is just a side branch. I have met her twice since I came to Xilin County!" Feng Yuzhi said without hiding it.
"Is it reliable?" Lin Haoming asked.
"In fact, I also met Wu Jingcai, so he should be considered reliable!" Feng Yuzhi gave Monet a satisfactory answer.
Lin Haoming didn't know whether what Feng Yuzhi said was true or false, but after these days of investigation, Lin Haoming knew that this person had little relationship with the Gao family, and that was enough.
"Feng Chengshou, long time no see!" The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and a loud voice rang out while still far away from the city gate.
"Captain Ma, long time no see!" Feng Yuzhi waited for Ma Huan to arrive nearby, and after getting off his horse, he went over to say hello to him.
Next, the two sides introduced each other, because Ma Huan came to exterminate bandits, and people from the city guard also came.
Ma Huan also introduced the battalion commanders of his three small battalions, and Lin Haoming also remembered the names of the three people, namely Guo Junyan, Meng Kun and Shao Xuehan.
Lin Haoming and Ma Huan had never met before, but this time they were leading the team, so the two of them exchanged a few words.
The first impression that Ma Huan gave Lin Haoming was that he was very strict, with a typical military temperament, and his face always looked very serious, as if nothing could impress him.
After getting to know each other, Feng Yuzhi proposed to pick up the wind for everyone, but to everyone's surprise, Ma Huan actually refused and went directly to the camp.
No one could refuse his request. After all, he was also on official business, so Lin Haoming, the nominal commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, personally took Ma Huan with him.
Because the military camp is right next to Chigang City, they arrived here quickly. Liu Kai had already prepared for the arrival of the garrison camp, so he could move in immediately as soon as he arrived.
When Ma Huan entered the military camp, he immediately showed his military side and settled down the three thousand troops he had brought with him in a short time.
Ma Huan's move not only showed the strength of his army, but also demonstrated to Lin Haoming and others. Lin Haoming had a hunch that this Ma Huan might not be so peaceful at his disposal.
As a city captain, Gao Liangsheng naturally followed him. When he saw this scene, he also saw what Ma Huan was thinking. However, he did not intend to speak at this moment to avoid telling the truth. After all, the matter had been laid out and there was no need to add fuel to the fire.
Ma Huan and others arrived in the afternoon and settled down at the military camp. The sky was gradually getting dark. Lin Haoming asked Liu Kai to be notified at this time. Soon Liu Kai and his men came over with two carts, and there were people on each cart.
There were three huge wolf carcasses.
After Ma Huan settled the army, he also planned to talk to Lin Haoming. When he saw the big car, he was a little surprised and said: "Purple-eyed Charming Wolf, are there such wolves on Chiyan Mountain?"
"I prepared this early in the morning. I knew that Camp Commander Ma was coming and we would share the joys and sorrows together, so I planned to reward all the soldiers first." Lin Haoming explained with a smile.
Gao Liangsheng didn't know about this either, but he could see that Lin Haoming's move would at least not make people feel disgusted, and there were two large cars and six complete purple-eyed wolves, each of which weighed at least six to seven hundred kilograms.
, without the little two hundred Shijing, it would be impossible to get it. Lin Haoming, Kanari, was really prepared for today.
In fact, when the cart carrying the wolf carcass came out, many soldiers in the camp saw it. Not only the garrison camp brought by Ma Huan, but also the original 5,000 men and horses, all of them couldn't help but lick their lips.
"Haha, Judge Lin Cheng, this gift of yours is not light!" Ma Huan looked at the wolf corpse with a smile on his face.
"This is not a big gift, it is a reward for the soldiers. In fact, if you really divide it, each person only has half a catty of meat!" Lin Haoming said rather modestly.
"I have accepted this gift. Mr. Lin Cheng, would you like to try our military skills together in the evening?" Ma Huan has always maintained a selfless attitude since they met, but now it was the first time that he was truly polite.
"Lin plans to live here in the future. After all, I am responsible for suppressing bandits!" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
Ma Huan was originally quite polite to Lin Haoming, but Lin Haoming's words suddenly made his smiling face stiffen again. Apparently he felt that Lin Haoming was planning to gain military power.
"My troops must be under my command!" Ma Huan emphasized.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "Of course, the five thousand city guards are also under your command, but the city guards are not as good as the garrison after all, so they need to be integrated and coordinated!"
Lin Haoming said it calmly, which surprised Ma Huan. After looking Lin Haoming up and down again, he asked: "What do you mean, Judge Lin Cheng, will only suppress bandits this time, and I will command everything?"
"It's up to me to suppress bandits, and it's up to you to decide how the army fights!" Lin Haoming said directly.
"I don't understand this!" Ma Huan was really confused after hearing Lin Haoming's words.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "I mean, I decide when to go to fight and where to go. As for how to fight the bandits after encountering them, it is ultimately your decision!"
"I am responsible for leading the troops. You should give me the target wherever it is!" When Ma Huan heard this, the smile that disappeared suddenly appeared again.
"In this case, then tomorrow I hope that the five thousand soldiers of the city guard can be fully integrated into your garrison." Lin Haoming said.
"Hehe, so I suddenly have eight thousand disciples. When I arrive at Chigang City, my old horse has been temporarily promoted to brigade commander!" Ma Huan smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Gao Liangsheng was with Lin Haoming. He did not expect that Lin Haoming had no intention of competing with Ma Huan for military power. He even planned to give up the military power to Ma Huan. This made the competition between the two of him that he had expected to come to nothing.
Lin Haoming also became more vigilant.
Next, the Huotou Army began to deal with those purple-eyed enchanted wolves. Originally, Ma Huan also invited Gao Liangsheng to stay, but now there is no good show to watch, and it has nothing to do with him in the future. He doesn't want to embarrass himself, so he went to find them.
An excuse to leave.
Lin Haoming stayed, accompanied Ma Huan and a few others, and chatted around the fire for a while. Although he didn't say anything real, it was able to get to know each other better. After dinner, Lin Haoming returned to his place and asked Liu Kai to prepare early in the morning.
