The battle won, and Wangli Village raised its village and thundered.

When Li Jing and others rode back to the village, the whole village went out of the Beicun Gate to greet him. Cui Decheng greeted him from afar, pulled Li Jing and pointed at the knights who had just returned from the bloody battle and returned from victory, saying, "What a good soldier, Ji Yu, are these soldiers you trained?"

"These are my brothers in the Unity Camp. They have been training for more than a month. This first battle, fortunately, they are only dealing with a group of mobs."

Cui Decheng took a secret breath. Are the union soldiers all farmers? These people were summoned to serve and do some chores. When was the Union soldiers so elite? He turned to look at Song Xi and heard that Song Xi also followed Song Wei and had been in the Imperial Army Shen Ce Army. Later, he participated in the rebellion of extermination of Chongxun, and went to the southwest to fight with Nanzhao for several years. Li Jing was originally Song Xi's subordinate. Could it be that the Union soldiers are so powerful? Song Xi's subordinate now has a thousand Union soldiers. Wouldn't that mean that he must not underestimate this person in the future?

"Brother Song is worthy of being a general under the command of the general of the commander of Ji Shuai. The united soldiers can actually train such a tiger!"

Song Xi shook his head: "Brother Cui, I have been polite. Only one of my Wendeng united soldiers will be released. The other soldiers are not like this. If I had known that Sanlang had trained Zuo Yidu so elite, I would never have agreed to let these soldiers go. It would be too late, I regret it."

Cui Decheng was even more shocked when he heard this. If what Song Xi said was true, wouldn’t it mean that Li Jing, a fledgling boy, was more powerful than the generals trained in the army like Song Xi? He had only been practicing for more than a month, so wouldn’t he be even more powerful when he went to Shamen Town and practiced for a few more years? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh with a complicated expression: “It’s true that the younger generation is so terrifying!”

Song Xi stood aside with a complicated look. Although Li Jing was fighting only a group of thugs today, the archers and cavalry were not really perfect. But when he saw this battle, Li Jing analyzed and arranged in an orderly manner, and commanded the battle more accurately and without drag. It was precise and sharp. Although his soldiers were first battles, they were not afraid or panic. There was basically no trouble when they started fighting. What surprised him even more was the fighting spirit of these soldiers. No one was afraid of fighting, but were full of desire for battle. He didn't know how Li Jing did it.

At all this, he knew that he had followed the Jieshou Song Wei for many years. Such soldiers were stronger than the Shence Imperial Army under the Jieshou, and more brave than the border troops in the southern border. Thinking of Song Wen's transfer of Li Jing to Shamen Town before, he felt a little disagreeable at that time, and thought Shamen Town was a very important position, and should be trusted and more capable. Now it seems that Song Wen was indeed very suitable to send Li Jing to Shamen Town. It was possible to train such elite troops in just over a month, and the first battle was so perfect, so it was indeed perfect to send to Shamen Town.

Not long after, all the people assigned to clean the battlefield were returned. After killing the last escaped bandit, Li Jing went straight back to the village and handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to those young and strong people in Qingning Township who wanted to join the army.

Most of the young and strong people who came back had pale faces, only a few of them remained unchanged, and their bodies were stained with bright red blood stains. After Li Jing asked a few questions, he found that among the young and strong people who were sent to clean the battlefield, most of them saw broken feet and broken arms on the battlefield, blood was everywhere, and some even had their abdomen broken, and their intestines were flowing all over the ground, and they immediately vomited without a look. Only a few people held back and collected the corpses of the bandits as instructed, and then cut off the bandits' heads.

"Remember their names, each one will give you two kilograms of wine and meat, and one piece of silk, and a thousand dollars." Li Jing was very satisfied with the young and strong men who dared to cut off the bandit's head. He immediately asked Zhang Hong, Cui Zhiyuan and Wang Zhongwu to register the list and give generous rewards. As for those who had vomited when they saw the corpse, Li Jing also gave them rewards, but they only had two kilograms of wine and meat, but there was no money.

Those who received the rewards of money were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked Li Jing. Others were slightly regretful. Not only did they regret missing a piece of silk and a thousand dollars in rewards, but they also regretted that Li Jing looked down on them and missed the opportunity to join the army.

At this time, Han Zhi also brought people back. The cavalry he had brought before was not useful, so he took the initiative to catch the refugees. With dozens of his cavalry appearing, many refugees who fled in various places were arrested. At this time, Han Zhi brought hundreds of young and strong people back and surrounded the open space in front of the village gate.

"Sanlang, how do you deal with these refugees who are thieves?"

Cui Decheng said coldly: "This still needs to be considered. Since they are thieves, they will be treated as bandits and will naturally be executed." These refugees openly gathered in his military town to rob, which was simply slapped him in the face in front of everyone. He was very relaxed before, and he could not handle this matter. He could just transfer troops to wipe out these bandits and refugees. It was a contribution, but it could also be regarded as a favor for Li Jing. Unexpectedly, the number of people in the thousands was killed in less than two hours. The captured prisoners forced him to send people to transfer the troops in Chishan Town that had already arrived halfway back to the military camp.

After struggling for the middle of the night, not only did he not sell favors, but he made a joke. How could he feel good?

Song Xi said: "There is no need to kill them all. I think I'll pick some and kill them, and then demote them all to slaves." Huangfu's face was gloomy. If they were to deal with them, it would confirm that the hungry people in Wendeng County were bandits and gathered to rob. If this is true, no matter what the final result is, it means that there were thousands of bandits under his rule. If this matter is informed, it can be imagined that he cannot escape the reputation of being incompetent in governance. At the very least, he will lose his official position, and at the worst, he may lose his life.

"A few generals, I just asked a few alive bandits, and there were only more than one hundred real bandits, most of them were innocent people who were enslaved by them. We cannot generalize them." As he said that, Huangfu looked at Li Jing with his eyes, hoping that he could say a few words for him.

Li Jing looked up at the thousand refugees who were surrounded by hundreds of young and strong men in front of the village. At this time, their eyes were filled with despair and fear. A large area of ​​black crows were kneeling, and the crying of women and children made Li Jing frown. Thousands of people, as Huangfu Zheng said, had basically figured out that these people had a strict identity, and they were all hungry people who fled to famine. He heard that the Li family was doing their birthday and could have a meal for their birthday. They all came, but were stopped by bandits halfway and were dragged in. According to the law, these people were indeed bandits. Even if Cui Zhencheng killed them cruelly, they would not only be innocent but also make contributions.

But Li Jing was a little unable to do that, not to mention that these people were driven by bandits because of the Li family's birthday. There are at least four or five hundred people with a total of 1,000 people, except for the young and old, and even the young and middle-aged males, there are at least two or three hundred. Two or three hundred young and strong. In the eyes of others, these people may not be worth a fortune. But in Li Jing's eyes, these people are a treasure.

"General Cui, General Song, this person's head is not a leek, and it will not grow any longer after being cut. These people are all hungry people. It is already very miserable to flee to famine, but they are still being held hostage by bandits. Now famines are everywhere, and there are more and more refugees in various places. According to the position, it is important to wipe out bandits, but they should also be appeased. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Cui Decheng looked at Li Jing and pondered: "How should we arrange it according to the brother's wishes? These are hungry people of thousands of numbers. If they are not handled properly, they will be a group of people-eating wolves in the blink of an eye. This time they were trapped, but they were released and could not find food. They could do it. The next time, they would take the initiative to be bandits."

Huangfu Zheng was also in a little embarrassed. These people could not be killed, and it would be difficult to protect themselves if they were killed. But if something happened again, he would be even more deadly.

"I think so. Today, the officials, gentry and merchants in Wendeng County gathered here. Everyone is a good family. It is better for each family to take a few families home. Whether it is arranged to be tenants or servants in the village, we have so many people, and a thousand people will be arranged. What do you think? If this matter is handled, it will be a peace and peace in Wendeng County. If it is spread out in the future, it will be a virtue for you."

Huangfu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was a great idea. In particular, this idea was proposed by Li Jing. This would not only eliminate the consequences of the thousands of refugees, but also become a good political achievement for him. Although these refugees were sent to slaves, each family might not be willing to accept such thin and hungry people, but if Li Jing suggested, then the Wendeng gentry who was rushing to the Li family to make friends with him would definitely be willing to spend money on these refugees. "Okay, General Li said it well, this is a great thing. There were many officials and gentry present, and a few of them were divided. If it was really not possible, let other landlords and rich families share a few, and they would be divided. Without these refugees, our Wendeng County would be much more peaceful. This is a good thing for everyone."

Li Jing smiled and said that as the person who proposed, he was willing to recruit more refugees.

"Are there any craftsmen?" At the entrance of the village, Li Jing, led Lin Wei and other officers from Shamen Town, first to lead refugees. However, Li Jing did not lead people away directly, but instead set up tables and chairs, set up torches, and spread out paper and pens.

The refugees were shivering in the cold wind, half afraid and half cold. Li Jing shouted three times, but no one dared to stand up and answer.
