"My lord, what should we do?”
Yan Gang asked.
He was Gongsun Zan's most valiant general, the commander of the White Horse Righteous Follower.
Now that Zhao Yun had been captured by Lu Qing, the two generals under Gongsun Zan were Yan Gang and Tian Yu.
"Let him be. If he needs to make way, just make way. After all, the provincial governor is exterminating bandits. I, Gongsun Zan, will not do anything that will endanger one side.”
Gongsun Zan said so. Exterminating bandits was a good thing. As long as Lu Qing was really exterminating bandits, he would definitely not stop him.
Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, the generals in the tent nodded. This was also the reason why they were willing to follow Gongsun Zan.
Qinggang Mountain was the largest gathering place of bandits in Guangyang County. It was said that there were more than ten thousand bandits on this mountain.
In the past, the imperial court had sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but the results were not satisfactory.
"Reporting to General, the road on the mountain is rather rugged, and we can't use cavalry to fight.”
the scout said.
Zhao Yun nodded. Although they couldn't fight with cavalry, they were fully armed elites. Even if they didn't have warhorses, they were still a powerful army. Therefore, Zhao Yun directly ordered a portion of people to stay behind to guard the supplies and horses. The rest of the people advanced on foot.
Following Zhao Yun's order, the mighty army trotted up the mountain in an orderly manner.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of orderly footsteps, like the beating of drums, resounded throughout the entire Qinggang Mountain.
At this moment, not only were the bandits on the mountain paying attention to this place, but there were also spies from various forces in Qingzhou.
When these scouts saw the neat army, they were all shocked.
"Quick, quickly send the news back!"
While the scouts were still in shock, Zhao Yun and the others finally ran into the bandits.
"Kill!"
These bandits did not have any order. They directly attacked the army with a ferocious force.
However, the enemy they were facing this time was no longer the useless soldiers of the past, but the Youzhou Army trained by Lu Qing!
"Form the formation!"
Zhao Yun shouted, and the Youzhou Army immediately formed a three-three formation.
As soon as they collided, the situation was completely one-sided. In front of the Youzhou Army, these bandits simply had no power to resist.
Although there were tens of thousands of bandits, there were only a few thousand of them, excluding the old, the weak, women, and children.
Therefore, in less than two hours, the battle was over. In front of the Youzhou Army, these bandits were like clay chickens and pottery dogs.
In the military camp of Liaodong County.
"Two hours?"
Gongsun Zan found it hard to believe. He knew about the bandits on Mount Qinggang and had even fought with them before.
Even though they were just clay chickens and clay dogs, when they could not mobilize cavalry on the mountain, even his white horse did not dare to take the risk.
In the end, Lu Qing's army had actually destroyed them in just two hours. This powerful combat strength had indeed shocked Gongsun Zan.
What Gongsun Zan and the others did not know was that this was only the beginning!
Almost every day after that, the Youzhou Army received good news!
He swept Guangyang County in seven days, Liaoxi County in ten days, and Youbei County in fifteen days!
In only one month, all the bandits in Youzhou Province had been wiped out. The entire Youzhou Province fell into silence. Even the Great Han Dynasty knew about the grand operation of eliminating bandits in Youzhou Province.
He had seen powerful ones before, but he had never seen such ridiculous ones. Even if they were bandits, wasn't it too fake for them to break into pieces with a single touch?
Actually, this was very normal. How could bandits have good weapons and equipment? They couldn't even break the armor of the Youzhou Army.
Because the Youzhou Army used modern lightweight metals that covered their entire body, the number of casualties of the Youzhou Army did not exceed 100 in the battle for a month.
After a month of bloody battles, almost every soldier had seen blood. From now on, they could be called true elites.
At the same time, the Youzhou Army's formidable combat strength had intimidated all the powerful figures in Youzhou.
With Gongsun Zan as the leader, the county governor and the others all came to Ji County to report on their work. In other words, from this moment on, they began to truly acknowledge Lu Qing as the provincial governor.
In the Ji County Provincial Governor's Office, Lu Qing met the Youzhou dukes for the first time.
He didn't recognize most of them. The ones he was familiar with were Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Yue, and the others.
The Gongsun family was one of the most powerful families in Youzhou. Now that they had a dragon among men like Gongsun Zan, it could be said that they were like the sun at noon.
However, Lu Qing's appearance made the Gongsun family very uncomfortable because the position of provincial governor was originally in the Gongsun family's pocket.
But now, everything was gone. The strength Lu Qing had displayed was too powerful. They did not dare to dream of the provincial governor's position. They only hoped that the provincial governor would not kill them all.
"Greetings, Milord!"
When Lu Qing walked out, all the officials in Youzhou bowed to him, including Gongsun Zan.
After a month of fighting, he had been convinced by Lu Qing.
With such a strong army in Youzhou, when the Outsiders invaded, they would definitely be able to protect the people of Youzhou. Therefore, Gongsun Zan was happy.
At this moment, Lu Qing noticed that there was a person with a special appearance sitting behind Gongsun Zan.
"Could it be Liu Bei?"
Seeing the iconic ears, Lu Qing had a guess in his heart. At the same time, he suddenly remembered that there were two fierce people in Youzhou Province at this moment. He couldn't miss them!
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu should not have become sworn brothers with Liu Bei. If he could obtain their loyalty, it would be of great help to his future development.
