Wangli Village is one hundred and sixty-five miles away from Wendeng County, and Wendeng County is three hundred and twenty-five miles away from Penglai City, the seat of Dengzhou Governance.

Along the way, Li Jing and the others traveled day and night, because they had two horses, two mules, and six donkeys, and the speed of everyone's journey also accelerated a lot. They didn't go to Chishan Town, because they didn't wait for Li Jing to say something, and when Wang Chong and Zhang Zuoyan escaped from Redbeard's hands that night, they didn't run to Chishan Town at all, but fled to the northeast.

The group didn't dare to stay longer on the road, for fear that Redbeard and the others would catch up. Li Jing was originally worried that Wang Chong would ask him what he said to Redbeard that day and how he escaped, but strangely enough, Wang Chong and they didn't ask anything. Even when Li Jing tentatively asked if he wanted to send someone to report to Chishan Town or nearby townships that he had encountered a large number of bandits, Wang Chong sneered and immediately vetoed it.

In Wang Chong's words at the time, he wished that this group of thieves who suddenly appeared would go around and make a few big votes and provoke everyone to know. That way, the report they write will be believed. As for whether there will be casualties due to this, it is a dead Dao friend who is not a dead poor Dao, and he can't care so much.

Two days later, Li Jing and others rushed to Wendeng County. Entering the county seat, it can be regarded as Zhang Zuoyi's territory, and everyone is a lot more relieved. They waited for another two days in Wendeng, during which Zhang Zuo and Wang Xiaowei both handed in the battle reports of the bandits. Zhang Cheng, the commander of Wendeng County, was a brother of Zhang Zuoyi, and after hearing about the battle they had encountered bandits, he was very enthusiastic about them. For two consecutive days, a banquet was held in the county's restaurant to celebrate, if it weren't for the late Tang Dynasty, the county orders were not as good as the assassins, Li Jing really thought that this county order was to recruit them.

stayed in the county seat for two days, but as a result, Li Jing and their encounter with bandits, I don't know whether someone intentionally or unintentionally leaked out. The city was immediately spread all over the city, especially when it came to the back. Originally, they encountered bandits, Li Jing and they fought to kill the ten thieves in Xihuo Village, and later encountered hundreds of bandits in the sea east of the town, Li Jing and others fought to break through. But it was passed around, and it turned out that Li Jing and they encountered a giant thief at sea 'Zhendonghai' and went ashore to rob, and Li Jing and they happened to meet it.

Then Captain Wang, Li Jing and others launched a surprise attack on Zhendonghai, fighting thousands of pirates with ten people. The battle was compared to myths and legends. Li Jing and Wang Xiaowei were on the street when they heard someone actually make this into a tune. Several long, beautiful women accompanied by various musical instruments, and a blind old man stood there singing.

Although Li Jing didn't appreciate the singing of that song very much, the content in it surprised him. The story of their encounter with bandits is sung, and even their names have not changed in the slightest. In it, after Captain Wang became a famous general in the imperial court, he came to Dengzhou to join the army. said that he had the strength of a thousand catties, made a green dragon glaive knife, and also grew a beautiful beard like Guan Gong, and had a nickname called Sai Guan Gong. In Chishan, Captain Wang held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in one hand, stepped down the chasing horse, and beheaded the eighteen leaders of the thieves in a row, and retreated hundreds of steps of the pirates with one shout.

And for Li Jing, it is also boundless, saying that Li Jing was originally a warrior monk of Ichigo Temple of Chishan Fahua Temple, and later met Wang Chong who went up the mountain to enter the incense, and the two hit it off at first sight and worshiped as sworn brothers. It is also said that Li Jing is tall and mighty, magnificent, majestic, and born with a good skin. Can ride and shoot well, so that a hand of horse lance, especially good at shooting, can open the bow left and right, seven arrows in a row, nicknamed Xiao Li Guang. said that Li Jing and Wang Chong joined forces that day, Wang Zhong was in front, Li Jing was behind, the arrow was not missing, and the move was fatal. said that he and Wang Chong went in and out seven times that day, and killed a group of thieves in the east of the town. After the most trouble, Li Jing and others returned, and Whitebeard, the big boss of the Zhendong Sea, personally led the cavalry to pursue, Li Jing turned back to look at the moon with a move, fired three arrows in a row, and one arrow broke the pirate flag. An arrow broke the golden crown of Whitebeard's hair, and another shot directly into the clearing. But at the end, there were thousands of pirates, but none of them dared to step past the arrow stuck in the ground.

In addition to Wang Chong and Li Jing, even other people are also famous, and they are called the twelve generals of Chishan. Li Jing and the others who listened looked at each other, and they didn't know how to react.

On the third day, the united soldiers of the twelve townships of Wendeng County had gathered, and they began to move to Penglai, the seat of Dengzhou Governorship, to assemble. In charge of temporarily commanding the Wendeng County Unity Soldiers was a sturdy man in his forties, and according to Wang Chong, this man was even better at grabbing the lance empty-handed. Originally, he was an officer of the Shence Army, but later he didn't know what the reason was, as if he had offended his boss and was dismissed, so he asked his friends to go to Dengzhou to find a petty officer of the unity battalion instructor, and a full-time training regiment training camp recruit.

The coach's surname was Lin Mingwei, and although he stayed in Wendeng County for a short time, he also heard about Wang Chong's killing of the thieves in Xihuo Village. This matter is making a lot of noise in Wendeng County, and even Penglai has heard about it. The above also sent a special letter to him, asking him to investigate the truth of Wang Chong and others' murder of the bandits, and whether there was any false report. Lin Wei inquired carefully about the matter, and basically could already determine that Wang Chong and others had encountered the bandits of Xihuo Village that day, and the two sides fought, and at the cost of one death and seven injuries, they completely annihilated ten bandits in Xihuo Village, including the two thieves of Xihuo Village. And about their later encounter with Zhendonghai, the loss of a silk silk, and the failure to cut the head of the bandits in Xihuo Village, can also be basically verified. Because just one day ago, more than 100 thieves and bandits in the East China Sea of Zhendong kidnapped several prisoners who were secretly escorted into Beijing on the official road of Chishan Town, which was dozens of miles away. And he has verified that the prisoner who was taken away is the second leader of Zhen Donghai and his subordinates.

Everything is very clear, the course of the matter is similar to what Wang Chong and Zhang Zuoyi reported, they first encountered the bandits of Xihuozhai, and after a fierce battle, all the thieves were annihilated, and then they encountered a large group of bandits in the east of the town, they broke through and fled.

All these verification results, Lin Wei has already reported to Lu Shang in writing in detail and truthfully. He also admires Wang Chong and Li Jing and others. While marching to Penglai, Lin Wei temporarily appointed Wang Zhong as the head of the general, commanding 100 new soldiers. Li Jing was temporarily appointed as the team leader to manage a team of 50 recruits. And the eight people in Li Jing's village were also appointed as the temporary chief and deputy leaders of Li Jing's team to help him manage the recruits.

Although this is only a temporary appointment, not a real official appointment or dismissal, it still makes Li Jing's heart surge. Especially Wang Xiaoshi, they all rolled happily, although the captain was only in charge of ten people, but this is also an officer. In charge of the other recruits who had just been drawn from various villages and villages like them, they were so excited that they almost didn't know what their last name was.

There are 1,000 united recruits assembled in Wendeng County this time. According to the military system of each feudal town in the late Tang Dynasty, these 1,000 people were temporarily organized into a battalion, with ten capitals under it, each with 100 people. Lin Wei temporarily served as the ten generals of the battalion, and Wang Chong was the head of the first general on the left, commanding 100 people. Li Jing is the leader of the first team on the left, with 50 people. These establishments and appointments are all temporary, and after the united soldiers arrive in Penglai, they will have to be re-selected and re-organized, and the officers will definitely be appointed and dismissed.

However, Li Jing was very serious, there were 325 miles from Wendeng to Penglai, and the united soldiers only marched 60 miles a day because they were recruits. This speed is not fast, and the recruits are very laid-back. But Li Jing doesn't plan to hang up a team title for nothing.

From the first day of Wendeng's departure, Li Jing implemented a set of plans formulated by himself. The first is the marching army, and the other teams are scattered like a spring outing, but Li Jing strictly requires the united soldiers of his team to march forward neatly. And every day when camping, the soldiers must take turns to boil water to drink, and scald their feet with boiling water. Moreover, it is necessary to arrange for soldiers to take turns to be on duty at night, and they must be divided into light and dark sentry posts, and strict daily passwords.

Most of these are compiled by Li Jing based on his previous memories, and then added some experience from Wang Chong. Although there are still many imperfections in this plan, Li Jing made full use of the current marching time to experiment with the dozens of soldiers under his command.

In this way, Li Jing really has a lot of gains every day. Military training is a very complicated matter, and on the surface, it seems that the plan on paper is very simple, but when it is actually implemented, it can always encounter countless troubles. However, Li Jing didn't really want to train his batch of temporary subordinates into elite soldiers, but just to test his own plans. For each problem encountered, he carefully recorded it, and then thought about the solution with his heart.

On the other hand, he spent every day with these young solidarity soldiers to strengthen his social skills. He knew that because of his previous status as a scholar, and because he was also a 'literati' in his previous life, he would always reveal some temperament that was different from these solidarity soldiers. This temperament has become a barrier between him and the others, and he is now learning to adapt to become an ordinary solidarity soldier, a solidarity soldier who can mingle with everyone and can dissolve into it.

Every day during the day, he marched during the day, mingled with a group of his subordinates during the break, chatted and joked, and at night, Li Jing began to summarize and record all this again. Every day is full of schedules, and the whole person is extremely busy and fulfilling, but Li Jing's heart is very satisfied with this life.

Six days, from Wendeng to Penglai, three hundred and twenty-five miles, five and a half days later, finally arrived outside Penglai City.

At this point, it means that Li Jing's position as the temporary team leader is over. What he is looking forward to now is whether he can really jump from a small soldier to a full-fledged officer as Wang Chong said.

"Dengzhou, I'm here!" Li Jing looked at Penglai City in front of him, and shouted with excitement in his heart.
