Horses are most sensitive to the smell of danger. Facing the neat team on the opposite side and the wooden spears standing up one after another, the horses uneasily stamped the ground back and forth with their hooves and snorted.

Ma Yunjiu had no choice but to stroke the mane on the horse's neck with his hands to soothe the restless horse.

After calming down his horse, he said: "Shi Daqi was worried about the safety of everyone in the Archer Camp, so he asked me to bring the cavalry team over to have a look in case of emergency. Now that everyone is fine, I can go back and resume my life."

Li Shuheng smiled and said: "We have the leader of the laboring horse and the brothers of the cavalry team. If you don't mind, dismount and come to my camp to rest for a while, and I will have people prepare meals."

"No need." Ma Yunjiu said, "Shi Dashi is still waiting for me to return to my hometown, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, Ma Yunjiu pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and left with the rest of the horse team.

After Ma Yunjiu and the cavalry men left, Li Shuheng said to Liu Heng and Chen Xunping: "Let's go back too."

Liu Heng on the side said to Yang Yuan beside him: "Go down and tell everyone, except those on patrol, to go back and rest."

Yang Yuan left first to convey the order, and Liu Heng and Li Shuheng went directly to the camp.

Arriving at the tent, the three of them sat down separately.

Li Shuheng looked at Liu Heng and said, "What do you think of what just happened?"

Liu Heng said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. As we said before, train new soldiers and increase their strength. Tomorrow I will take people to take over the rear camp."

Chen Xunping at the side said: "I'll go with you."

Li Shuheng said with some uneasiness: "Shi Yunhu didn't give an order for us to take over the rear camp. Will you irritate Shi Yunhu by directly taking over the rear camp? After all, he is the top leader in name."

Chen Xunping answered: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, everyone is already at odds with each other. It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not. Besides, the leader of the rear camp should be Liu Heng no matter what."

Liu Heng, who was a few steps behind on the other side, said: "It doesn't matter whether Shi Yunhu is willing or not. Now that Shi Yunhu has no energy to deal with us, we should seize the time to strengthen our strength. Otherwise, when Shi Yunhu takes complete control of the entire camp, he will be the unlucky one.

Here we are.”

"Then do as you say. We happen to have something to tell you." Li Shuheng said, "Xunping and I have limited abilities. Now that you have shown that your abilities are much better than ours, Xunping and I

After some discussion, the Archer Camp will also be under your command from now on, and Xunping and I will be your leaders."

"This..." Liu Heng hesitated.

Although he also hopes to control the entire Archer Camp, if he swallows the Archer Camp like this, he is worried that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of other leaders of the Archer Camp, leading to internal fighting, consuming the strength of the Archer Camp, and distracting his energy.

If that was the case, it would be easier for him to retrain the refugee recruits.

"Just agree!" Chen Xunping said on the side, "Following you in the Archer Camp is better than following Brother Shu Heng and me. As for the other leaders of the Archer Camp, you don't have to worry. After Zhengjiazhuang's food supply and tonight's battle, everyone will

Everyone is very impressed with you."

Seeing both of them saying this, Liu Heng nodded and said: "Okay, but the Archer Camp still needs you, Brother Shuheng, to lead it for the time being. Recently, I have to recruit the rear camp and train refugee recruits, and I don't have the energy to manage the Archer Camp for the time being."

Li Shuheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, Xunping and I are now the leaders under you. If you have any questions, you can just give us orders. There is no need to worry about our identities."

Liu Heng nodded without giving in.

He has long been interested in these archers in the Archer Camp, and these archers will be of great use to him in the future. However, Li Shuheng was in charge of the Archer Camp in the past, and he was embarrassed to force these archers away.

Now, Li Shuheng and the others are willing to hand over the Archer Camp, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Liu Heng said to Li Shuheng and Chen Xunping: "It's getting late. Let's all go back and rest. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"I've already arranged the tent for you to rest in. I'll take you there." Li Shuheng stood up from behind the short table.

"No need to go to such trouble." Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "I will sleep with the refugee recruits tonight."

"Storytellers often say that a powerful general will sleep with his subordinates, and one will eat sweets and the other will suffer hardships." Chen Xunping said with a smile, "Liu Heng, you will definitely become a powerful general in the future."

Li Shuheng on the side laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. That's called sharing joys and sorrows, not sharing the sweet and the bitter."

Liu Heng laughed and said, "I won't disturb you two brothers from resting. I'll go outside to see the refugee recruits."

Li Shuheng and Chen Xunping sent Liu Heng out of the camp. They didn't return to the camp until Liu Heng had gone far.

Li Shuheng, who was sitting behind the short table, sighed: "If Du Shuai could be like Liu Heng, how could we lose to those Tatars in Liaodong?"

Chen Xunping spread a curtain on the ground, lay down on it, put his palms behind his head, and said: "How many good officials do we have in the Ming Dynasty? Anyway, I didn't see any of them. We didn't eat it when we were in the army.

We have a good meal, but we do the most tiring work, and we are often bullied by the soldiers. Although we are bandits now, we no longer have to suffer from the same arrogance as before."

Li Shuheng's lips moved twice, sighed, and said, "Go to sleep!"

When they arrived at the place where the refugee recruits were resting, Liu Heng got some hay and put it under him, and lay down on it with his clothes on.

When many new refugee recruits saw that the big leader Liu Heng was sleeping on the hay like them, many of them had red eyes.

Liu Heng has always reminded himself not to drift off.

Although he already had a team of 300 bandits and a team of 100 archers, he knew that this strength was not enough in troubled times. A wave could kill him on the beach.

After a day of hard work, effort, and a fierce battle, the exhausted Liu Heng quickly fell asleep.

It was already bright when I woke up, and Yang Yuan delivered the food to him.

Liu Heng picked up the pancakes and wild vegetable porridge sent by Yang Yuan and ate and drank them.

Now that food is abundant, wild vegetable soup has been replaced by wild vegetable porridge, and there are far fewer wild vegetables in the pancakes.

After eating two pieces of pancakes and a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, Liu Heng patted his belly, and then said to Yang Yuan: "Take a while and I will go to the back camp, and we will take over the back camp."

"Okay, I'll arrange for a few refugee recruits to go with us." Yang Yuan agreed.

Liu Heng added: "Bring another team of archers."

"This..." Yang Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to talk to Mr. Li about mobilizing the people from the Archer Battalion?"

Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "No, just go directly and tell me my orders. If anyone disobeys the orders, let them come to me."

After a night and a morning, he believed that Li Shuheng and Chen Xunping had told the other leaders of the Archer Camp about his taking over the Archer Camp. If anyone dared to disobey his orders at this time, don't blame him for being cruel.

"Then I'll make arrangements right away." Yang Yuan turned and left to gather the archers and refugee recruits.

Liu Heng picked up the bowl of wild vegetable porridge and was about to leave when he saw Chen Xunping trotting over.
