Although He Kangcheng became the leader of this group of more than 100,000 bandits, He Kangcheng always believed that he had no future when he was a bandit. At present, the reason why bandits in various parts of the Great Yan Empire are becoming more and more rampant is that the major generals are competing for each other for territory and do not focus on the bandits in their jurisdiction.

Once the Dayan army controlled by major generals and sects transfer the troops to the bandits, no matter how many bandits were, they would still be wiped out, and the combat effectiveness of both sides was simply disproportionate.

For example, He Kangcheng, a bandit with more than 100,000 people, the total number of young and strong men was only more than 30,000, most of them were old, weak, women and children. Even more than 30,000 young and strong men were seriously lacking in weapons and equipment. The number of armor was even less than 2,000 pairs, and most of them were leather armor, with only dozens of war horses, and the total number of horses and mules was more than 4,000.

As long as the Xiao family in Xuanzhou Prefecture and Qizhou Prefecture are controlled and a brigade of infantry is enough to completely defeat the more than 100,000 bandits under He Kangcheng.

So after He Kangcheng became the leader of this group of more than 100,000 bandits, he was thinking about the way out, and the Zhennan Army was the way out that He Kangcheng figured out.

So He Kangcheng led the more than 100,000 bandits to bypass the city guarded by the Xiao family army and began to advance towards the area controlled by the Zhennan Army.

However, He Kangcheng had no food in his hands, so he could only break through some villages and towns along the way to grab food. The people who were captured were all robbed of all the food, so in order not to starve to death, they had to follow He Kangcheng, a bandit.

When He Kangcheng led more than 100,000 bandits into Huaizhou Prefecture, he learned that Li Bin was actually leading more than 100,000 elite cavalry in the territory of Huaizhou Prefecture and was preparing to rush to the capital road. He Kangcheng immediately led more than 100,000 bandits to the only way to enter the capital road, waiting to offer Li Bin the more than 100,000 bandits in his hands.

He Kangcheng chose to lead more than 100,000 bandits to join the Zhennan Army. In fact, there is another reason. He Kangcheng hopes to use the power of the Zhennan Army to avenge more than 100 people who died tragically in the He family.

He Kangcheng said respectfully to Li Bin: "Marty Zhennan, almost all the people under my command were forced to become bandits, and those truly vicious bandits have all died at the hands of the official army in the previous few battles. I know that the Zhennan Army has been absorbing immigrants from the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate and the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, so I hope these people can return to the rule of the Zhennan Army and live a stable life again."

Li Bin pondered for a moment and said, "There is no problem for these more than 100,000 people to go to the area controlled by the Nanjun in our Zhen, but how can we arrange these more than 100,000 people to be finalized by the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan? I wonder if Brother He agrees?"

"It should be so, it should be so."

Then Li Bin asked Luo Puwen next to him with a smile: "Sir Luo, there is no problem to ask these more than 100,000 people to go to the jurisdiction of the Grand Governor's Office in our town, right?"

Luo Puwen hurriedly said, "No problem. Zhennan Hou can help my Luo family solve the troubles of these more than 100,000 bandits. My Luo family is grateful, but it's too late!"

Then Li Bin asked the Sixth Town of the Langqi in the South to send a brigade of troops to escort the more than 100,000 people back to Yingzhou Prefecture. The more than 100,000 people will be basically placed in the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate and the Southern Barbarian Protectorate.

He Kangcheng would also go to Yingzhou Prefecture with him. Li Bin has promised to arrange a suitable official position for He Kangcheng under the rule of the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan.

However, the two brothers Liu Jue and Liu Xian who were beside He Kangcheng were kept by Li Bin and arranged directly into the guards.

The team continued to rush and soon entered the territory of Beijing Road.

The civil officials who control the Dayan court have long known that the nine generals will bring their troops to attend the new Tianxing Pavilion launch ceremony and discuss and resolve the current problems of Dayan's independent affairs. The civil officials will definitely agree with this.

Although civil servants hope to control the military power, they do not want the Great Yan to become divided. In that case, they may lose more and even involve their families in the end.

The army of Li Bin and Xiao family entered the capital road without any obstruction. Instead, the Dayan court sent officials to guide the army of Li Bin and Xiao family.

On July 3, 2016, the army of Li Bin and Xiao family arrived at Cangyun Mountain where Tianxing Pavilion was located, and each camped at the foot of Cangyun Mountain.

The launch ceremony of Tianxing Pavilion this time was scheduled for the eighth day of the seventh month. However, before Li Bin and the Xiao family's army arrived, the other teams, in addition to the Pan family, which controlled the Yuzhou Prefecture, had already arrived at the foot of Cangyun Mountain, including the teams sent by the imperial court.

This time, all the families were not relieved to participate in the Tianxing Pavilion's launch ceremony, so they sent many troops, ranging from more than 100,000 to tens of thousands of soldiers, which made the camps at the foot of Cangyun Mountain extend for dozens of miles.

On the afternoon of the day when he arrived in Cangyun Mountain, Li Bin brought his people to Tianxing Pavilion to visit Han Yu, the 23rd generation leader of Tianxing Pavilion.

After Li Bin met Han Yu, he asked Chen Jun and Xing Tao, the two guards from Tianxing Pavilion, to greet Han Yu. Then Li Bin reminisces with Han Yu for a few words, and then asked: "Master Han, I heard that among the disciples who came out of Tianxing Pavilion this time, there are actually great master warriors. I wonder if I can introduce them to this marquis?"

Han Yu nodded slightly, "This is no secret. Due to the influence of the situation, the new launch ceremony of our Tianxing Pavilion has been pushed forward again and again, which has led to four more disciples in this session, reaching fifteen. One of them is a real Grandmaster Warrior named Liang Wendao. He is 22 years old this year. Liang Wendao was actually promoted to Grandmaster Warrior three years ago."

After pausing, Han Yu continued, "Among the fifteen disciples who went to the army this time, there are two others who are in the same situation as Zhu Yu and Ju Jing back then. Although they are unable to practice the Yuanqi Technique because of their own physique, they have the strength of a great master and martial artist, and their martial arts are equal to Liang Wendao."

Li Bin couldn't help but ask, "What are the names of these two disciples?"

"They are brothers. The older brother Wei Long is twenty-one years old this year, the younger brother Wei Hu is nineteen years old this year, and the other twelve disciples are all master warriors."

Next, Han Yu introduced Li Bin the situation of the other twelve disciples. If we were to rank according to our strength, Liang Wendao, Wei Long, Wei Hu, Huang Ruijie, Liu Baotong, and Wen Anwu should be among the twelve master warriors, the three with the best martial arts skills. The other nine were slightly weaker than Huang Ruijie, Liu Baotong and Wen Anwu.

After Han Yu introduced the situation of the fifteen disciples, hesitated and asked Li Bin: "Marquis Zhennan, can the court reach a consensus with your nine generals this time to end the current chaos in my Dayan?"

Li Bin said with a wry smile: "Master Han, I hope that the chaos in my Dayan will end as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not come to Tianxing Pavilion in person this time, but others may not have the same thoughts as me. After all, some temptation is too great."

Han Yu said sadly: "But if we continue to be so chaotic, the foundation accumulated by our Dayan over 600 years will be exhausted a little bit. With the current strong strength of the Zhennan Army, can't we force other generals to compromise?"

Li Bin sighed and said, "Zengzhu Han, the Zhennan Army under our marquis is very strong, but the strength of other major generals is not weak. For example, the Pan family, which controls Yuzhou Prefecture, can expand more than one million troops with a prefecture, and can also command the twenty-four vassal states west of our Dayan. Therefore, as long as other generals do not invade the territory controlled by our Zhennan Grand Governor's Office, our Zhennan Army will not be prepared to be enemies with other generals and will not be able to do anything to force them."

Originally, each family was preparing to start negotiations between ten forces before the launch ceremony of Tianxing Pavilion, but the Pan family's team did not arrive at the foot of Cangyun Mountain where Tianxing Pavilion was located until the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh month.

In this way, negotiation can only be placed after the Tianxing Pavilion’s departure ceremony.

After visiting Han Yu, the sect leader of Tianxing Pavilion, Li Bin stayed in his camp.

Although the negotiation between the ten forces was initiated by Xie Zhitong, the head of the Xie family, Xie Zhitong did not come to participate in the Tianxing Pavilion's departing ceremony, but instead led 70,000 Xie family cavalry to Cangyun Mountain by his second brother Xie Zhiliang.

Xie Zhiliang was originally the commander of the Zuo Zong Guard's Imperial Army. Li Bin and Xie Zhiliang knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other, so Li Bin did not come to visit him.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the seventh month, the people from the nine generals and the people from the imperial court came to the giant martial arts training ground in Tianxing Pavilion.

The quota for the competition at the Tianxing Pavilion ceremony was still 64. First of all, the imperial court and the nine generals each have six places to participate in the competition, and the remaining four places are determined by the lottery.

After the nine generals and the imperial court arrived at Tianxing Pavilion, they started drawing lots first.

Li Bin did not go to the lottery draw in person, but asked Zhuge Liang to participate on behalf of Zhennan Army. As a result, Zhuge Liang was a little lucky, and the four additional places were eventually divided up by the court, Lu family, Lin family and Luo family.

Li Bin considered the six places in Zhennan Army and decided that Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, Xia Luqi, Gao Aocao, Huluguang and Zhang Dingbian would represent Zhennan Army to participate in the competition at the Tianxing Pavilion’s outing ceremony. For Liang Wendao, Wei Long and Wei Hu, Li Bin was determined to win the three great master-level generals.

When the fifteen disciples of Tianxing Pavilion appeared one by one, Li Bin paid special attention to Liang Wendao, Wei Long, Wei Hu, as well as Huang Ruijie, Liu Baotong and Wen Anwu, the best martial arts among the twelve master warriors.

Liang Wendao was about 1.95 meters tall, while Wei Long and Wei Hu were both more than 2.1 meters tall. Huang Ruijie and Liu Baotong were about the same height, about 1.9 meters tall. Wen Anwu was a little shorter, but he was about 1.8 meters tall. The six people had one thing in common, that was that they were all big and round waists.

Liang Wendao's weapon was a black iron spear weighing 230 kilograms, while Wei Long and Wei Hu's weapons were a pair of iron hammers weighing 500 kilograms.

Huang Ruijie and Liu Baotong's weapons are both iron spears weighing more than 100 kilograms, while Wen Anwu's weapons are a pair of axes weighing more than 200 kilograms.

After the fifteen disciples of Tianxing Pavilion appeared, it was time for the competition. The grouping of each round of competition was still determined by the draw of lots.

In the first round of draws, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, Xia Luqi, Gao Aocao, Huluguang and Zhang Dingbian did not meet. Due to the arrangement of Tianxing Pavilion, the other players participating in the competition did not stage their own duel in the first round of competition.

Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, Xia Luqi, Gao Aocao, Huluguang, and Zhang Dingbian were all great master warriors. In the first round of martial arts competition, although the opponents all had the strength of a master warrior, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan and the other six easily advanced to the next round without much effort.

In the second round of the competition, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, Xia Luqi, Gao Aocao, Hu Luguang and Zhang Dingbian were still very lucky to not meet in advance.

However, in the draw of the second round of the competition, Gao Aocao and Sui Xiu, the great master of the Xie family, were divided into a group.

Xie Zhiliang, who was led by the Xie family, felt a little nervous when he saw Sui Xiu being in a group with a powerful general from Zhennan Army. During the first round of competition just now, the six generals of Zhennan Army who fought showed their strong strength.

Xie Zhiliang said to Sui Xiu in a deep voice: "Yuan Zai, Li Bin sent six generals to participate in the competition this time, and they are probably all great masters and warriors. You should be very careful in the next competition."

Yuan Zai is the name of Sui Xiu. The two brothers Sui Xiu and Sui Bao were both sons of the Xie family. They showed amazing martial arts talent since childhood. Later, after the careful training of the Xie family, the two brothers were promoted to great masters and warriors one after another.

Sui Xiu is twenty-five years old this year, and Sui Bao is twenty-three years old this year.

Sui Xiu nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, second master, I will not be careless when facing the powerful generals of Zhennan Army."

When Li Bin learned that Gao Aocao had actually drew Sui Xiu from the Xie family, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then ordered Gao Aocao: "Sui Xiu from the Xie family is a real master warrior. Don't be careless when competing for a while."

Gao Aocao said indifferently: "Don't worry, lord, as long as you don't meet your own brother, no one else can beat me."

In a competition venue circled with white lime, Gao Aocao put the iron spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Zhennan Army, Gao Aocao!"

Sui Xiu pointed his iron spear at Gao Aocao and shouted: "Xie family, Sui Xiu!"

After the two of them shared their names, they rushed towards each other quickly almost at the same time.

In fact, Gao Aocao's iron spear and Sui Xiu's iron spear were all long weapons to fight immediately, but the competition at the Tianxing Pavilion's departure ceremony required an infantry battle.

Of course, when you reach the level of Gao Aocao and Sui Xiu, using long weapons to fight infantry battles will not affect their performance.

When the two weapons collided for the first time, Gao Aocao and Sui Xiu couldn't help but say in their hearts at the same time: "What a lot of strength!"
