Although today is the last day, the amount of training is still the same as usual. When the sound of gold sounds, Liu Feng ordered the disbandment neatly.

He himself took Chen Da back to the handsome account.

The words that were released just now were not fake. A few days ago, Liu Feng had already decided to send troops to eliminate the water thieves.

Going into battle and seeing blood is the only way for an army to mature and become elite. No matter how much training is, no matter how skilled it is, you cannot skip this process.

And there is another problem that bothers Liu Feng and Qian.

It is well said that a penny stumped the hero. Liu Feng is facing now, which is short of money.

Because Liu Feng's three hundred troops ate pork and mutton every meal, the price of pork in Xinye and Jingzhou has increased a lot.

In addition, he hired craftsmen to dig rocks. The one thousand gold given by Mi Zhu was already used. The sea pearl worth a thousand gold that Mi gave could not be sold and made money. It was obvious that life would become very difficult.

Liu Feng hit the thief with his attention.

He has an army, and his army needs to find a partner to train troops and open up wealth. It is really a good thing at the best of both worlds.

In the account of the coach, Zhang Dao was already present, and Deng Ai was also present. In addition, Liu Feng, who had returned from training, and Chen Da. Liu Feng's current civil and military affairs were missing.

Xu Tian was sent by Liu Feng to inquire about the news about the thieves a few days ago. Yesterday, someone was sent back to talk about returning to the camp this morning to report on the situation of the thieves in Liu Feng.

After entering the quotation, Liu Feng went straight to the coach's seat and sat down. Looking at the empty seat below, he asked Zhang Dao: "Has he been back yet?"

"It should be coming soon." Zhang Dao replied.

"Wait." Liu Feng said. Without detailed information, it was impossible to discuss the issue of sending troops. Although Liu Feng wanted to send troops early, he had to calm down at this time.

However, this wait took only an hour. Seeing that the sun was rising high, Xu Tian had not come back yet, Zhang Dao couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

He knew that Xu Tian was the most honest and said that he would definitely arrive in the morning. But now he didn't see Xu Tian at this time, so something must have happened on the road.

"Sir, do you want to send someone to check the situation?" After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Dao couldn't sit still and got up and clasped his fists.

"He is going to find out the news, not to fight. Nothing will happen. At most, it is delayed because of some trivial matters." Liu Feng shook his head and said.

When things came to an end, Liu Feng became impatient and seemed very calm.

It is also risky to inquire about news. If you are caught by a thief, you will definitely suffer a lot. However, looking at Liu Feng's calm appearance, Zhang Dao had to wait and wait quietly even if he was impatient.

In comparison, Chen Da next to him was much more calm. He sat there and didn't move, like a sculpture.

This old man on the battlefield has experienced too much life and death. Even if Xu Tian fails to come back, he cannot change his color.

Fortunately, after a moment, Xu Tian, ​​who was late, entered the tent.

As soon as he made the bill, Xu Tian bowed deeply to Liu Feng and his colleagues in the bill and said apologetically: "I am here, I hope you forgive me."

Liu Feng looked up at Xu Tian, ​​and saw that Xu Tian was not only covered in dust, but also had some bruises on his forehead. He knew that something must have happened on the way.

He couldn't help but ask gently: "What happened on the way?"

Not only did Liu Feng see the bruises on Xu Tian’s head, but everyone present was full of eyes. He immediately turned his attention to Xu Tian when he heard this.

With a embarrassed smile, Xu Tian raised his fist to Liu Feng and said, "But it was too hurrying, the horse was killed." After explaining, Xu Tian said, "If it weren't for a hero named Gan on the way, he would have given a horse to his subordinates, he would have to come back."

Liu Feng knew that Xu Tian was riding in a carriage when he went out, but when he was driving at high speed, his horse suddenly died. What a thrilling feeling.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng couldn't help but sweat for Xu Tian. However, seeing that Xu Tian was talking very concisely, he obviously didn't want to say more about this topic. Liu Feng did not give much comfort.

"That's true, it's not your fault." Liu Feng smiled, then said with a smile: "But that hero named Gan is going to thank you very much. After sending troops, you can bring some gifts and visit them."

"No." Xu Tian nodded and responded.

"Of course I have to thank you for this matter, but don't worry too much. In comparison, Lord Xu brought back the news of the thief?" Chen Da asked out loud.

"Natural." Speaking of this, Xu Tian's spirit was shocked. He pulled out a white cloth with a landscape map from his sleeve, stepped forward a few steps, and placed it on the table in front of Liu Feng.

Without Liu Feng's instructions, the other three people also surrounded each other.

On the map, Xinye, Fancheng, and Xiangyang are marked, and there are some water systems. These three cities are triangular. Xu Tian stretched out his right hand and pointed to a river channel in the middle of the triangle, saying: "There is a river island here, called Du. There are about two or three hundred thieves entrenched here."

"These pirates have been entrenched here for five or six years, quite long ago. They often go down the river and plundered Liu Jingzhou before robbing them, but these pirates were quite cunning and fled Du Island very simply. After Liu Jingzhou's army left, they returned. After this two or three times, Liu Biao could only let it go."

"By the way, there is another very interesting question. This group of water thieves have never sent troops to rob the village under Fancheng to the north."

Liu Feng also felt something interesting when he heard this and smiled and said, "It seems that this group of water thieves are not only cunning, but also have a bit of vision. He knows that Cao Cao is strong and Liu Jingzhou is weak. Maybe when Cao Cao goes south, this group of water thieves are willing to surrender to Cao Cao."

"Haha, what is the name of the leader of this group of water thieves?" Liu Feng asked at the end.

"A man named Zhang Gui." Xu Tian replied.

Liu Feng nodded and wrote down the name of this person. Then he fell into deep thought and entrenched on a river center island. Although the troops were not large, there were two or three hundred. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Especially for Liu Feng, a team with only three hundred people, this bone was particularly difficult to chew.

If you want to train troops, what you need is to fight in battle, rather than this kind of offensive and defensive battle that is consuming.

Moreover, he cannot beware of the other party escaping. If he is a water thief, he is proficient in water and travels on a boat, and Liu Feng's army will never be able to catch up with him.

If you cannot force the attack, you can only lead the snake out of the hole.

"Will they rob the caravan?" Liu Feng thought for a moment in his mind and asked with his head up.

I didn't say much about dealing with these thieves, but everyone present understood it very well. They all turned their attention to Xu Tian.

"I occasionally rob the caravan, but it is basically robbed the village." Xu Tian also understood Liu Feng's meaning and immediately replied.

Just occasionally rob the caravan?

Liu Feng was not only a little heavy, but also a little disappointed.

If he doesn't rob the caravan, it means a lot of money. It was a big blow to his plan to open up a wealth path.
