215 Expansion and Induction
With Sheng Rong's statement, this gang of seven or eight hundred people joined forces under Zhou Jing's command.
The minions don’t care about this. As long as the leader is able to deal with people, they will be the same as everyone else. Besides, Chen Feng is so fierce that he is better than Sheng Rong no matter how he looks at it.
Relying on Green Forest's fame and skills, Zhou Jing easily conquered this small gang. Zhou Jing immediately asked everyone to count the water camp, and the result was achieved in less than half an hour.
The exact number of this Xiaofeng Lake water bandit is 872, of which about 430 can fight, all have a certain degree of water quality. Although it is malnourished and has an average body, it is still very tough because it is poor all year round.
The water village is very small, with limited inventory of supplies, only more than 300 weapons, sharp knives, as well as several kitchen knives, pitchforks, and no armor. There is very little food in stock. However, everyone is fishing for a living, so they cannot starve to death.
The most important materials were boats, but there were a lot of them, with hundreds of small boats all in one water. They were fast, but they were quite old, with knife edges everywhere and many traces of repair.
After roughly understanding the situation, Zhou Jing called everyone and said his thoughts:
"We gather here, so we will naturally have to make a name in the Green Forest. Sheng Rong will turn to me. Most of us will have to fight Fan Zong, so we will deal with this person first, take down more territory, lure him to attack, and then defeat him, so that our brothers can gain a foothold in Huyang."
It is the fastest way to develop if you are new to you and have no foundation. Annexing the existing big enemy is naturally the fastest way to develop.
His current strategic intention is very simple, because he could not have been good at prying the corner of Fan Zong, the "Golden Scale King" and so he simply kept attacking Fan Zong.
First, he used his reputation and martial arts to attack and pry away more water bandit gangs under Fan Zong's command, forced this guy to take action, and then fought to solve Fan Zong, and swallowed up the power of this person.
The three dragons in Huyang compete with each other, and only deal with one of them, and will not provoke the other two parties for the time being.
In this way, the other two parties either watch the wall or beat the dog in the water together, and the chance of helping Fan Zong deal with him is very low.
After he replaced Fan Zong with thunder, the other two people's reactions were either to detect the threat of the threat, to join forces to fight him, or to use a knife to kill people across the river and destroy bridges. It was possible, in short, they would act like the opportunity to do it again.
Listening to Zhou Jing’s plan, everyone was quite excited, among which Sheng Rong, who had just joined the group, was the most.
What a good guy, he is worthy of being a hero in the Green Forest. The tone of this is that he directly faces one of the local bosses. It’s really a cross-river dragon!
Zhou Jing paused and said, "Our gang is not big yet, so there are no seats at the moment. The old brothers are the first to lead the leader and will not be assigned real positions. In addition, there are many rivers and lakes in Huyang, and only the Shengrong brothers are good at water wars and understand the terrain. Therefore, he is the only one who trains the navy for the time being, while the other brothers follow him to practice water quality first."
"I understand."
Guo Haishen, Fang Zhen and others nodded.
Zhou Jing looked at Sheng Rong again and said:
"Although brothers and their men just worked for me, they treated me equally. The secrets we plundered in Jiangchun are spread among the people and are also open to you. If you want to practice what skills you want, you can practice them on your own. If you don't understand something, please ask the leaders."
Sheng Rong was stunned and then overjoyed: "Thank you brothers!"
You can learn advanced skills as soon as you first join the gang and get guidance from a group of Green Forest masters. This benefit is quite good. As a bandit who licks blood from the knife, martial arts is a skill to save your life and make a living, and no one doesn't want to improve their skills.
Zhou Jing waved his hand and continued:
"We currently use Xiaofeng Lake as the base, which is just a temporary measure. In the end, we still have to fall into Yueshan Lake. However, it is not the time to enter. Brother Shengrong, if you understand the nearby situation, you still need to explain the distribution of the territories of the twenty-two generals under Fan Zong's command. Let's take down the nearby water bandits and expand the territory."
"clear."
Sheng Rong was solemn.
At this time, Fang Zhen thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Second brother, Fan Zong doesn't know that I'm waiting for him to come, why don't let Sheng Rong brothers go and see Fan Zong? We pretend to be a minion and take him down when we approach Fan Zong. Capturing the thief first, it's like being in Hutou Mountain. Wouldn't that be faster?"
Zhou Jing touched his chin and pondered:
"I also thought about this plan, but the situation in Huyang is different from that in Luhe. The territories of the water bandits are scattered. Although it is convenient to take over Fan Zong directly, they cannot defeat us. Even if they replace this person, most of the water bandits under his command will not follow us, but will instead seek to join the other two of the three dragons in Huyang. In this way, we will become the commanders who can only subdue Fan Zong's troops and cannot order the water bandits everywhere. The territory will be surrounded by two other dragons. At that time, if you want to conquer others, you will be attacked by the other two, and you will be restricted, and it will be difficult to get started."
Duan Yunfeng's eyes flashed and said:
"So that's it. Brother Chen wants to subdue many water bandits first. If he pretends to be here, he can lead Fan Zong to attack. At that time, he will defeat the opponent on the battlefield. Not only will he capture Fan Zong, but he can also capture many water generals under his command, so as to achieve his contributions, subdue a large number of water bandit gangs in one fell swoop, and become famous in one battle?"
“It’s almost the case.”
Zhou Jing nodded, and Duan Yunfeng understood his intentions.
Even if you subdue a few more water bandits, the number of troops is far inferior to that of Fan Zong. However, his own group of experts is full of experts. If you want to win more with less, you still have to take advantage of this area.
Unfortunately, the third apostle Bill was not here, otherwise a tornado would blow directly during the water war, and many people would be given in vain.
He then mentioned some details and asked the distribution of the surrounding water bandits, which allowed the leaders to disperse.
The gang is still small now and does not require fine division of labor, but when the scale becomes larger, the organizational structure is needed.
Most of the people around me in the green forest are vulgar martial artists. If they gather in the mountains and forests, they still need talents such as internal affairs management, training and fighting.
Either cultivate yourself to give potential people to the top, and you will have experience as you do it, or you will annex other big enemies and incorporate them, or you will give up the banner and other heroes to join us.
In short, there are still many talent gaps under my command. It seems that I have to inquire about these special talents in the Green Forest and run to these people and shake their bodies.
In addition, although his martial arts are extraordinary, if it is a large-scale war, the method of marching and fighting is still important.
Zhou Jing himself doesn't understand these things very well. Even if he checks information in the main world and copy them into it, it will easily turn into a paper talk. Moreover, the training methods of the interstellar era may not be suitable for the environment of cold weapons fighting, and he does not want to reveal too many signs of the main world.
The training methods of this era are in line with the limited conditions of this era and are naturally desirable. He plans to find some talents who are truly good at training and fighting, 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 striving for excellence. He does not seek to develop any elites in all battles. As long as the quality of the soldiers under his command can reach the middle or upper or medium level of the world, he does not flee as soon as he gets involved, as long as he can use it.
He only planned to dabble in military tactics, but did not want to study in depth. He could exert his own power better than commanding operations. As long as he could find military talents who were not too bad and instead give orders when he entered the formation, he felt that it would be enough.
With the current strategic goals in place, everyone mobilized them one after another.
After two days of rest, Zhou Jing led his men and horses to attack everywhere and headed straight for the nearby territories.
During this period, there was almost no decent resistance. When these leaders of the siege heard Chen Feng's name and saw his skills, they all accepted their heads and were willing to turn to Zhou Jing's account.
Talent [The Aura of Kings] is not an ordinary good use.
The only thing that had some resistance was a water bandit with about 3,000 people, entrenched in a large lake. The leader was the top general under Fan Zong. Because he felt that he was evenly matched, he was unwilling to directly submit to Zhou Jing.
Both sides had a fight on the lake. With Zhou Jing's inhuman performance, their side was full of momentum, and their opponents doubted their lives and had no intention of fighting.
As a result, all the siege bandits were captured, the leader was beaten to obey, and the village surrendered.
It took not many days to use Zhou Jing pried away Fan Zong's five territories and conquered five groups of water bandits, including Sheng Rong, and grew like a snowball, with a rapid number of more than 8,000 people.
The news that Chen Feng, the "Devil in the World" appeared in Huyang and stood a stick here to put a flag on his body, was also spreading rapidly, alarming the local green forest.
...
Bang!
"Hateful! I have no worries with Chen Feng in the past, why did he get into trouble? If this guy wants to gain a foothold in Huyang, he will attack me and think that I am a soft persimmon!"
Fan Zong slapped the table hard and was furious.
He is a slender and middle-aged man with long beards on his lips. He looks like a catfish at first glance, and he likes to wear yellow clothes all year round, and has the nickname of "King of Golden Scale".
Not long ago, he received a message from his minions and learned that five generals under his command had turned against Chen Feng, and was both shocked and angry.
Originally, Huyang had three legs in a stalemate, and the situation was stalemate, and they had checked and balanced each other for many years. Now, a crossing river dragon suddenly came, breaking the balance.
As a local snake targeted by Guojianglong, Fan Zong was naturally very annoyed. Not only was he angry at the provocation, but he also secretly hated Chen Feng for creating opportunities for the other two old opponents.
The military advisor next to him touched his beard and pondered: "This Chen Feng eliminates evil and seeks evil, and he cannot tolerate the right way. He can only become a bandit. However, this man is famous in the green forest and has great ambitions. He is most likely not a guy who is willing to be a subordinate. I think he has the intention of replacing the leader of the village."
"Hmph! Don't think about it!" Fan Zong snorted: "Although I respect this person as a hero, since he is eyeing me, I can't spare him!"
After saying that, Fan Zong suddenly stood up, called the commander and shouted:
"It is said that all the generals of water came, and I want to send troops to attack Chen Feng, so that he knows that Huyang is not a place where he can run rampantly, but a dragon is placing it for me and a tiger is lying on me. If you want to stand here, please ask me if I agree first!"
Fan Zong did not dare to sit idly by and watch Zhou Jing encroach on his territory. If he did not curb it immediately, he would probably become a commander without a single person.
Moreover, if he was beaten to the head, his current status would not be preserved. The other water bandits felt that he could not provide protection for their respective territory and would consider switching to others.
So, he is now in a difficult situation.
Just when Fan Zong had to fight back, the other two of the three dragons in Huyang also received the news. They were surprised and gloating.
After discussing with their leader, the two responded the same way.
First, hold the troops and sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
If there is an opportunity, we will take advantage of the opportunity to erode Fan Zong's territory, beat the dogs in the water, and even get rid of this old opponent once and for all, and make a profit from a snipe and clam fight.
As for Chen Feng, if he fails in the war, they don’t mind taking advantage of the situation and expelling such powerful competitors from Huyang.
...
Yunxia Mountain, Nanhua School.
"What? Then Chen Feng came to Huyang? He also set up a mountain here, intending to occupy it for a long time?"
The head of the sect, Luo Zhen, was shocked and hurriedly asked if the disciple who sent the message was true.
After receiving a positive answer, Luo Zhen immediately couldn't sit still.
"This person has harmed Jiangchun's various sects. Maybe he can eat the marrow and know the taste, and he wants to use the same trick again. As the leading sect in Huyang martial arts, our Nanhua Sect must be the first to bear the brunt! The matter of the martial arts conference cannot be delayed anymore!"
Luo Zhen's face was gloomy and clear.
Due to the distance, there are still many sects far away, and no reply has been given.
But he couldn't wait any longer, for fear that Chen Feng felt that the distance was very close, so he went directly to the South China Sect to seize the secret book, so that even if he could get it back later, the losses would be irreversible.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen made a decision and ordered in a deep voice:
"I will release news from the world that major sects will hold martial arts conferences 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, after making an appointment for a battle, he should be able to stabilize Chen Feng so that this guy will not cause trouble to Huyang Wulin in the short term. He just gave them enough time to contact other sects and invite experts from all over the world to fight against the devil.
...
"This Chen Feng actually came to Huyang and plans to occupy it here?"
When the prefecture of Fanzhou Prefecture in Huyang, the prefect learned about this from the official's mouth, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Jiang Chun's past lessons are still in front of him. As a prefect of the place, he was also extremely afraid of Chen Feng.
The magistrate of Fanzhou thought for a while, made a decision, smiled coldly and murmured:
Chapter completed!
