When Okor came to Cons, he found that Cons and others had no special expressions. Weijie was putting a book of orders into the document set.

Okol hurriedly shook the order book and opened a bright and intimate smile and asked, "Boss Cons, I just received the order and asked me to take the Ximen City Guard to patrol near Yamamu Village. I just saw a commissar who also sent you the order. I wonder if I can let me know what orders you have received? If it was also a patrol, we would have a companion."

Cons shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I am not as lucky as you. The order I received was to escort the merchants to the provincial capital to purchase, and also ordered me to capture more than 5,000 bandits and be slaves to Jincheng."

At first, when he heard that he had no good luck, Okore and others were still gloating in their hearts. When they heard the task of escorting the merchant to purchase, their eyes were immediately red. What kind of task is this? It is equivalent to an outing! He even said that he had no good luck in himself? Isn’t this a sarcastic word?

However, when you heard that you were going to capture more than 5,000 bandits as slaves, everyone on Okore actually showed a pitiful look in the eyes of you.

Everyone knows that killing an enemy is easier than capturing an enemy, but now Cons’s mission is to capture five thousand bandits as slaves. In other words, once one of these bandits commits suicide, Cons will capture another one again.

According to the rumored habits of bandits with stubborn and strong personality, after being captured, most of the bandits will commit suicide unless something can threaten them.

Nowadays, bandits and slaves from the rich families in the city threatened their families. If it weren't for this threat, they had committed suicide as early as when they were captured, so there was no possibility of becoming slaves.

In other words, the task of Cons is impossible to complete. Of course, Okol will not remind Cons of these things, isn’t it a wonderful thing to let him do useless work?

"Really, how could there be slaves? Didn't it mean that there were no slaves in the empire?" Xiang Wen curled his lips and said, of course he knew that the task was difficult, so he couldn't help but complain.

When Okor heard the beauty speak, he put on a bright and charming smile in a conditioned manner and said, "Haha, Miss Xiangwen, this is just a nice thing on the surface. In fact, any wealthy family in various parts of the empire does not have slaves. Even slave transactions are open and honest in some remote areas.

"Although the imperial capital does not seem to be available, aren't the final servants and prisoners of war that have not been redeemed, also sold as slaves?"

Hearing this, Xiang Wen and Wei Jie couldn't help but think of their own life experience. If they hadn't followed the adults, they would have been a slave, right? Thinking of this, Xiang Wen and Wei Jie suddenly became excited, and their eyes shone cold light. They confirmed their vows again and defended the adults to the death!

Okor was startled by the eyes of the two of them. He didn't say anything wrong, why did they suddenly get excited? I don't understand.

Okor, who threw away this doubt, said to Cons, "I don't know when Boss Cons will set out? How many people will he bring? I'll see you off."

Cons said: "Let's go tomorrow, and the wing headquarters asks me to bring everyone with me. I don't know when you will go?"

Okor said with a pity, "Oh, there's nothing I can do. I'm going to set off tomorrow. Boss Cons, you must prepare for the departure. I won't bother you. Goodbye." As he said that, he bowed and took people away.

As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face was immediately so bright that it was terrifying.

Levin hurriedly said, "Sir, no wonder Cons said that you are not lucky enough to make a contribution, but Cons can only be troubled by completing the task. If you advance or retreat, you may not take long to ask your military rank to be higher than Cons."

"Haha, that's right, everyone work hard, my success is your success." Okor now feels that he wants to laugh at the sky very much, and Cons finally can't compare to him!

He would think so because he did not believe that Cons had the ability to complete the task of capturing the 5,000 bandits. As long as Cons could not complete it, even if Cons led the 5,000 men to wipe out the 5,000 bandits and made great contributions, he would not be promoted!

Because in order to prohibit officers from abandoning the tasks assigned by their superiors by their status by their superiors, the Imperial Army, in order to prohibit officers from abandoning their original tasks assigned by their superiors, must not be promoted no matter how much merit they make during the period. Moreover, taking so many people out, just food and grass problems can be eaten to death!

After Okor left with great pleasure, Xiang Wen immediately asked Cons: "Sir, so many of us escort the merchants to the provincial capital. Is the merchants responsible for the food and grass on this road responsible for the merchants or are we responsible for ourselves?"

"Hmm? I didn't seem to notice this." Cons looked at Weijie.

When Wei Jie heard this, he took out the order book and said helplessly: "Sir, we are required to be responsible for the army's food and grass."

"Sir, the order from the corps headquarters is so strange this time. Why do you want us to escort the merchants? And we also wanted us to capture 5,000 bandits later, and we set out the next day. You must know that we have only been forming the troops for three days. It feels a bit like we are going to frame us." Xiang Wen said worriedly.

Cons sighed and said, "According to the information from the Sewei, we have recruited 5,000 strong people, so the population in Tianjin has been reduced by one tenth, and they are all adult men, which has caused insufficient manpower and shortage of supplies.

"Those merchants went to the provincial capital to purchase goods, while those prisoners were used to increase the number of laborers in Tianjin, so they were not framed or not. They were all troubles caused by ourselves. Alas, the officers of the Fifth Regiment were really stubborn."

"Oh, since we are not framed, we don't have to worry about anything at all." Xiang Wen immediately let go of his worries, but then he pestered Wei Jie to inquire about the information that the secret guards had found in the corps headquarters.

Wei Jie, who was so entangled that he had no choice but to hand over a few pieces of paper to Xiangwen. After reading the information, Xiangwen understood why the 5th Regiment had inexplicably said that the 5th Regiment was stubborn. It turned out that they had almost nothing to care about in order to eliminate the bandits.

Of course, Xiangwen also discovered the reason why he sent Okol to patrol. It was just that Xiangwen was not interested in reminding Okol, as the lieutenant colonel said, he was not his own, so he would die.

While reading the documents, Weijie suggested to Cons: "Sir, since we are responsible for the food and grass, the current inventory can only support us for five days. If we arrive at the provincial capital here, it will take twenty days for so many of us to walk slowly, and there is not enough food and grass."

"Well, you take people to purchase, in addition to food and grass, other military supplies, such as medicine, needlework, quilts, clothing, etc., it is best to buy a few carriages." Cons, who was a logistics officer, immediately made a purchase order and handed it over to Weijie.

Weijie, who received the purchase order, immediately took people out. In fact, there was no need for the purchase order, Weijie knew what to buy. After all, he followed Cons and worked as a logistics soldier for a while.

The next day, the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers of the guards who had already known to escort merchants to the provincial capital got up early to get some luggage. In fact, the soldiers had nothing to do with them, just a bamboo-rod iron-headed spear about three meters long, a set of changed clothes, a kettle and a three-day dry food.

It seems incredible to say that Cons originally paid to ask all the guards to go to the blacksmith shop to make a steel knife, but unfortunately the blacksmith shop did not have so many materials, so in the end they could only satisfy each person a bamboo pole iron-headed spear. This made many archers and knife hunters unable to display their abilities, which made them complain from time to time.

Yes, there is nothing we can do about the gun rod made by bamboo. Just casting thousands of gun heads will make the blacksmith shops as tired as dogs, let alone ask them to help cut wooden gun rods. If these five thousand people are equipped with weapons immediately, they can only use bamboo as gun rods.

However, this bamboo spear is also very suitable for use by newbies. One is lightweight, a three-meter-long spear weighs only a few pounds, and even an old man can dance. The second is that it is easy to replace if damaged. Just find a bamboo with the right size and length to install it. You should know that there is no difference in this mountain, but trees and bamboo are everywhere, so it is very convenient to find a bamboo with the right size and length.

The auxiliary soldiers' spears were placed on the carriage. In addition to using their own weapons when necessary, they also became reserve weapons for the soldiers.

But even though they don’t have to bring weapons, the stoves, food, salt, clothing, jars, jars, jars, and various kinds of military supplies needed by the army, even after filling the ten purchased carriages, each auxiliary soldier has to carry a package of fifty or sixty kilograms.

The auxiliary soldiers, who were carrying heavy burdens, saw the soldiers' relaxed conversation, and everyone gritted their teeth and made up their minds: Wait and see, before the salary is paid next month, I must become a soldier!

The schoolyard of the former county chief’s mansion was filled with large pieces of black, with only a little blue in the corner. Both sides were waiting for their chief officer to appear. In comparison, Cons was highly morale on the side, while Okor seemed dead.

But there was nothing we could do. While hearing that he had 5,000 people escorting merchants to the provincial capital, it was simply an armed parade. It was very safe and he was in a natural relaxation.

Moreover, they have never been to the provincial capital. They must have a good time this time. It is said that they will celebrate the New Year in the provincial capital. Then they can buy some things as New Year gifts. Friends and friends who have learned the news have come to the door to entrust. As for the task of arresting 5,000 bandits, they have long been selected and forgotten by them.

On the other hand, he heard that he was going to stay away from the city and patrol the bandits and the abandoned villages. He understood what he was, but it would be strange if he was not nervous.

Outside the door, nearly a hundred carriages of all sizes were waiting. When I heard that there were 5,000 guards to protect them, all the shop owners in Tianjin who needed to purchase goods were dispatched in person, and they all brought their families with them. They didn't look like they were purchasing goods at all, but they were traveling.

In fact, this is normal. You should know that these bosses usually send their hands to purchase goods. After all, there are elusive bandits everywhere in the mountains and forests. If one is not good, even people will be able to carry goods at any time. How dare you take risks yourself?

Now there are 5,000 people to protect them, so there is absolutely no problem with safety. Why don’t you take the opportunity to go out for some breath? Or just settle down in the provincial capital. After all, living here is like going to jail, but it’s a pity that the business here can’t be left behind.

The merchants also knew that Cons was their guardian, so when they saw Cons come out, they all rushed forward to get close to him.

After a while, Cons, who had been on the horse, waved his hand and fifty guards riding horses left first. They were the pioneer scouts of the team.

Then two brigades of war soldiers were formed, followed by a hundred merchant carriages called by the horses, then three thousand auxiliary soldiers and ten brigades full of military funds, and finally a brigade of war soldiers and fifty cavalry guards.

Cons's team rumbled away from Tianjin City under the eyes of countless people, and then Okor, the man who also walked out to set out.
