Chapter 10 Arrival at Black Bear Castle

Du Xuan was going to visit Black Bear Castle, and the only person who was unhappy was Du Changgeng’s wife Luo Xifeng.

"The third son has never gone far since he was a child. What's wrong with letting him study peacefully? He has to fight and kill. What if he gets injured? Now Mangou is eyeing our Great Qi and has caught so many detailed works a few days ago. I think Mangou is trying to beat our Chiyang Guard. You don't want his life if you let the third son out at this time?" Luo Xifeng has been complaining since the morning.

Although Du Changgeng did not argue with his wife, he never wavered his determination. As a father, Du Changgeng may not be so cruel to his son, but as a chief general, he knew that some things he must not waver.

"You still don't know the third son. The third son wants to go out himself. As a father, I naturally have to satisfy his wish. Although the Black Bear Castle is a little harder, it is far from the front line, and few barbarian dogs will run there." Du Changgeng could only patiently comfort his wife.

"Even if there are very few, it means that there are still many dogs who will pass." Luo Xifeng said in tears.

"The third son is a centurion, and he has more than 100 soldiers. Other centurions can only bring one hundred soldiers, so I asked him to bring more than a dozen more." Du Changgeng said.

"Don't think you can fool me. I know that the third son is all recruits. The veterans of Black Bear Castle have been drawn by you long ago. You should quickly draw dozens of guards from the escort battalion. Otherwise, if something happens to the third son, I will settle the score with you." Luo Xifeng said.

"Do you think I don't want it? It's the third son who refuses to want it. He wants to train his own soldiers. The third son is right. Veterans have the benefits of veterans. They can fight, but they are also unsatisfied. The third son is a weak scholar. Just my young master Du Changgeng can convince those old people? Although it is a little difficult to lead new recruits at the beginning, the soldiers brought out are obedient to the command." Du Changgeng said.

Du Xuan was ready today and was about to say goodbye to his parents, so he led his troops to the Black Bear Castle to take action. Du Xuan was wearing a mountain armor and looked very energetic. When he walked, he could only hear the sound of armor and weapons colliding.

"Mom, I'll go to Black Bear Castle today. Don't worry, I will come back to see you often. Mom, take care of yourself." It was the first time Du Xuan left home, and he felt a little reluctant, but the man was determined to be in all directions. Du Xuan's heart had already flown to Black Bear Castle a hundred miles away.

Outside Du Mansion, more than 100 soldiers from Du Xuan were ready to go. A month ago, they were still new recruits, but now, they have a certain momentum. Standing there, silently.

Most of the Chiyang Guards are from military families and are well-informed, but when they see the military appearance of the soldiers in this battalion, they know that the soldiers in this battalion have already been trained. If they can be tempered in the war, they will surely become a strong army.

Du Changgeng was very satisfied with Du Xuan's performance over the past month. First, he eliminated the hidden dangers of the Chiyang Guard and defeated them all in one net, so that Chiyang Guard had no worries. Then, Du Changgeng was also very satisfied with Du Xuan's military training results. He originally thought that Du Xuan would not lead troops to fight, but he did not expect that after less than a month of military training, Du Xuan could train a little combat power for the new recruits in the battalion. Although Du Xuan's soldiers were still in short supply, they were already very organized. If this continues, the battalion led by Du Xuan will definitely become an important combat power for the Chiyang Guard in the future.

"What a pity, I'd better have asked the third son to lead the troops earlier." Du Changgeng felt very sorry. If Du Xuan had led the troops earlier, he might have brought out a strong army. Even if the barbarians fight, this guy could still be invincible with his troops.

"Father, we are ready." Du Xuan ran over after he finished the queue.

"Get out!" Du Changgeng shouted loudly.

Du Xuan jumped onto the back of the golden-patterned mana tiger and waved his hand: "Set off! Target, Black Bear Castle!"

It took two hours to walk to Du Xuan's camp to arrive at Black Bear Castle. The defenders of Black Bear Castle were already ready. As soon as Du Xuan's camp arrived, they handed over Du Xuan and couldn't wait to blame Du Xuan and left in a hurry.

"This is Black Bear Castle? Where is the fort?" Du Xuan looked around and felt like he was being deceived. There was no fort here at all, just a broken house. There were wastelands around and no crops were planted. I don't know what the garrison here had ate before.

Du Feng seemed to have heard of the conditions of Black Bear Castle: "The land here is very barren, and it cannot grow crops at all, and it is often short of water. Therefore, the defenders here basically do not farm, and mainly rely on hunting in the mountains to sell the hunted beast meat for food."

"How come, what should I do about the defense in this fort?" Du Xuan asked.

"Black Bear Castle is so remote and not a strategic location, so Mangou wouldn't come here at all. Even if he comes, there are only a few broken houses here and there are not even stuttering. In the end, he still has to withdraw his clothes obediently." Du Feng said.

"No. I can't control how Black Bear Castle was like before. Now I'm here, Black Bear Castle can't be like before. There are a lot of wasteland around, so we have to build the walls of Black Bear Castle. Du Feng, you can find a way to get a group of refugees to come over. For such chores, recruit refugees to do such chores." Du Xuan said.

"The third young master, I'm afraid there is no way to attract refugees here. The conditions here are too difficult and refugees are unwilling to come." Du Feng said embarrassedly.

"There is enough beast meat here, and no one will come here?" Du Xuan glared at Du Feng.

"Give the refugees the meat of beasts?" Du Feng asked incredible.

"Yes, as long as they are willing to come over, give them the beast meat to eat. Enough!" Du Xuan said.

Du Xuan did this with helpless action. Hunting wild beasts can train soldiers, but letting soldiers do construction and farming will only waste the soldiers. The battalion has finally taken shape, and Du Xuan will not let all his previous efforts be wasted.

Du Xuan was also very glad that he brought new recruits. If he brought the veterans of the first battalion and arrived at this desperate place, he would definitely not be able to command the soldiers. Now he brought all the soldiers of this battalion, and with a group of backbones such as Yang Wancai, Du Xuan had already controlled the soldiers of the battalion firmly in his hands.

Therefore, with Du Xuan's order, all the soldiers in the camp took action immediately and cleaned up their temporary residence first.

Du Feng was driven back by Du Xuan to fool the refugees as soon as he arrived at the Black Bear Castle. Therefore, there was no one around Du Xuan, and he had to clean up his own residence by himself.

Fortunately, Yang Wancai was smart and saw Du Xuan preparing to clean up his residence by himself, he hurriedly brought two people over to help Du Xuan clean up his residence.

"The third young master, we will arrange a hunting tomorrow, otherwise the food we brought here will not be eaten for a few days. The previous guard camp left nothing for us." Yang Wancai said.

"Tomorrow, hunt the whole camp, leave a team of guards." Du Xuan wanted to prepare for the refugees who came over. Once the refugees were fooled here, Du Xuan must keep the people. There must be more residents of the Black Bear Castle to make a fundamental change. Du Xuan believed that Du Changgeng let him come over, not just to let him come and temper him. The Black Bear Castle has no strategic significance now. Once the Black Bear Castle undergoes fundamental changes, does the Black Bear Castle still have meaning? Who can tell it clearly?

On that day, Du Xuan and all the soldiers of the camp cleaned the Black Bear Castle, which made the Black Bear Castle change suddenly. Although the houses were still in a dilapidated state, they became cleaner, and the surrounding weeds were also cut off, making the Black Bear Castle look less desolate.

Xu Dongchu was a little worried: "Captain Yang, will we stay here in the future?"

Yang Wancai smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible? The third young master is the son whom the commander is most beloved by the commander. How could he bear to suffer a loss?"

"This is. I'm just a little worried. Don't let us stay here forever." Xu Dongchu said.

"It's good here. The third young master is a sorcerer and knows healing skills. If you are injured here, the third young master can cure the wound directly. It is difficult for ordinary military camps to get a sorcerer who knows healing skills." Yang Wancai said.

After Du Xuan arranged everyone, he kept studying a map of animal skins. This map of animal skins roughly drew the terrain of Chiyang Guard. However, this map was too sketchy and even Black Bear Castle was not marked.

Du Xuan looked at the map again and again, then drew it on it for a while, and then put the place name on the drawing. The Black Bear Castle was in it. Even some of the terrain around the Black Bear Castle was recorded by Du Xuan. Obviously, Du Xuan attached great importance to this map. He guessed in his heart that Du Changgeng sent him here, where was his real intention.

This map was handed to Du Xuan when he first came out. The map not only marked the important location of the Chiyang Guard, but also marked some important locations of the barbarians. These locations seemed to be a little far from the Black Bear Castle.

The Black Bear Castle is separated from the barbarians by several mountains, and the mountains are steep, and a large number of barbarian beasts are entrenched in the mountains. It is indeed unlikely that the barbarians will climb over these steep mountains and rivers to deal with a black bear castle that has no importance.

Du Xuan didn't see any name, so he put away the map.

Each team of soldiers from Du Xuan Camp repaired the dilapidated houses under the arrangement of the squad leader, and temporarily placed them.

"This house is really broken. When it rains, several thatched huts will collapse. In the past few days, I have taken the time to repair this house, otherwise I really can't live there." Yu Guijun wiped the shield in his hand with a rag, and then put it on the wall and hung it.
