Chapter 1777: The garrison camp arrives
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and although the rain was not dense, the ground had already been wet, and the road had become a little muddy as a result.
Some spots of black pressure in the distance gradually appeared in sight, but it didn't take long for everyone standing at the gate of the city to see clearly, although there was no sunlight shining, but still silver armor.
"The men from the garrison have arrived!"
Feng Yuzhi was by Lin Haoming's side, today was the day when the garrison battalion arrived in Chigang City, including Feng Yuzhi, the three giants of Chigang City were waiting at the east gate together.
"Battalion Commander Ma Huan, I heard you know?" Lin Haoming whispered.
"She is the son of my husband's main family! It's just a side branch, and I've seen it twice since I came to Xilin County!" Feng Yuzhi didn't hide it.
"Is it reliable?" asked Lin Haoming.
"I actually met through Wu Jingcai, so it should be considered reliable!" Feng Yuzhi gave a Monet's answer.
Lin Haoming didn't know if what Feng Yuzhi said was true or false, but these days of investigation, Lin Haoming knew that this person had little to do with the Gao family, as long as this was enough.
"Feng Chengshou, long time no see!" The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and it was still far from the city gate, and a loud voice sounded.
"Battalion Commander Ma, it's been a long time!" Feng Yuzhi waited for Ma Huan to get closer, and after getting off the horse, he went over to greet him.
Next, the two sides introduced each other, because Ma Huan came to exterminate the mountain bandits, and the people from the city guards also came.
Ma Huan also introduced the battalion commanders of the three small battalions under his command, and Lin Haoming also remembered the names of the three people, named Guo Junyan, Meng Kun and Shao Xuehan.
Lin Haoming and Ma Huan hadn't seen each other before, but this time they led the team by themselves, so the two of them also exchanged a few more words.
This Ma Huan's first impression of Lin Haoming was that this person was very rigorous, with a typical temperament of a soldier, and his face always looked very serious, as if nothing could move him.
After getting to know each other, Feng Yuzhi proposed to pick up the wind for everyone, but to everyone's surprise, Ma Huan refused and went directly to the camp.
No one could refuse such a request from him, after all, he was also on official business, so Lin Haoming, the nominal commander-in-chief of this crackdown on bandits, personally took Ma Huan to go.
Because the military camp was on the edge of Chigang City, it would soon be here, and Liu Kai had already prepared for the arrival of the garrison camp, so as soon as the people arrived, they could stay immediately.
When Ma Huan entered the barracks, he immediately showed his military side, and settled the three thousand men and horses he brought with him in a moment.
Ma Huan's hand 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 to listen to his own dispatch.
Gao Liangsheng, as a city captain, naturally followed, and when he saw this scene, he also saw Ma Huan's thoughts, but he didn't plan to speak at this moment, so as not to tell the truth, after all, the matter had already been laid out, and he didn't need to add fuel and vinegar to himself.
Ma Huan and the others arrived in the afternoon, and when they arrived at the barracks and settled down, the sky gradually darkened, Lin Haoming asked Liu Kai to inform Liu Kai at this time, and soon Liu Kai led people to pull two carts over, each of which had three huge wolf corpses on it.
After Ma Huan settled the army, he also planned to talk to Lin Haoming, and when he saw the cart, he was a little surprised: "Purple Pupil Charm Wolf, there is such a wolf pack on Red Flame Mountain?"
"This is what I prepared early in the morning, knowing that the battalion commander Ma is coming, and we will share weal and woe together after that, so I plan to treat all the soldiers first. Lin Haoming explained with a smile.
Gao Liangsheng didn't know about this matter, but he could see that Lin Haoming's hand would at least not make people feel disgusted, and the two big cars, six complete purple-pupiled wolves, each of which was at least six or seven hundred catties, and there was no small two hundred Shijing, so he couldn't get it at all.
In fact, when the cart came out with the wolf corpse, many soldiers in the battalion saw it, not only the garrison camp brought by Ma Huan, but also the original 5,000 men and horses, one by one, couldn't help but lick their lips.
"Hehe, Lin Chengju, your gift is not light!" Ma Huan looked at the wolf corpse, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is not a big gift, it is a reward for the soldiers, in fact, if you really divide it, everyone will only have half a catty of meat!" Lin Haoming said modestly.
"I accepted this gift, Lin Cheng sentenced to taste our military craftsmanship in the army together in the evening?" Ma Huan has maintained an iron-faced and selfless attitude since they met, and now it is the first time that he has really shown politeness.
"Lin plans to live here in the future, after all, I am responsible for the matter of suppressing bandits!" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
Ma Huan was originally more polite to Lin Haoming, but Lin Haoming's words suddenly made his originally smiling face stiffen again, obviously he felt that Lin Haoming was planning to ask for military power.
"My men must be commanded by me!" Ma Huan emphasized.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "This is natural, 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 calmly, which made Ma Huan a little surprised, and after looking Lin Haoming up and down again, he asked: "What does Lin Chengming mean, this time only bandits will be suppressed, and all of them will be commanded by me?"
"Suppress the bandits listen to me, how the army fights listen to you!" Lin Haoming said straightforwardly.
"I don't understand this!" Ma Huan listened to Lin Haoming's words, and was really a little confused.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "I mean, I decide when to fight and where to go, as for how to fight after encountering mountain bandits, it is ultimately up to you to decide!"
"I'm in charge of leading the troops, and the target should have been given to me by you!" As soon as Ma Huan heard this, the smile that suddenly disappeared reappeared.
"In that case, then tomorrow I hope to have the five thousand soldiers of the city guard fully integrated into your garrison. Lin Haoming said.
"Hehe, so I have eight thousand children at once, and when I arrive in Chigang City, my old horse has also been temporarily promoted to brigade commander!" Ma Huan smiled, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Gao Liangsheng was by Lin Haoming's side, but he didn't expect that Lin Haoming had no intention of competing with Ma Huan for military power at all, and even planned to give up military power early in the morning, which made the competition between the two people he had expected frustrated, and at the same time he became more vigilant against Lin Haoming.
Next, the Huotou Army began to deal with those purple-pupiled wolves, originally Ma Huan also invited Gao Liangsheng to stay, but now there is no good show to watch, and after that, this place has nothing to do with him at all, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed, so he found an excuse to leave.
Lin Haoming stayed, accompanied Ma Huan and a few other people, chatted around the fire for a while, although he didn't say anything real, but it was also an increase in mutual understanding, and after dinner, Lin Haoming returned to the tent he asked Liu Kai to prepare early in the morning.
