"Don't panic, everyone, don't mess around." Seeing that the women and children in the village were all looking at him with vigilant eyes, Lin San hurriedly explained loudly to everyone: "This is the new county commander, he is here to recruit An, and he is going to move us all to the county seat, and give each family a share of arable land." ”

"We are bandits, sworn enemies of the government, how can they come to recruit us?"

"Look at the one next to Lin San, it looks like a child, how can he be the new county magistrate."

As soon as Lin San's words fell, the women and children in the distance began to talk about it, they felt that this was simply a fantasy, it would be good if the government didn't come to clean up themselves, how could they divide the land for themselves? This Lin Sanbacheng was blinded by lard, and actually helped the government to bully everyone here.

"Lin San," the bold woman shouted at Lin San, "If you bring the officers and soldiers to the stockade, aren't you afraid that the owner of the village will find out and kill you when you come back?" ”

Hearing the woman say this, Lin San immediately raised his voice: "Don't worry, everyone, they are all dead in black." It was killed by this Han envoy and his subordinates. ”

As soon as Lin San's words fell, the women and children were in a big mess again, and some even began to cry, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

"What's going on?" According to Han Zhan's thoughts, the families of these coerced bandits should be happy after hearing that the culprit in black clothes was killed, why are they as sad as their dead father and mother now? He hurriedly asked Lin San with a straight face: "What are they crying about?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll calm them down right away." Lin San raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that broke out of his forehead, and shouted loudly: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!" After the scene gradually quieted down, he continued, "Don't worry, everyone, it was only the black clothes and his men who died." The men in your family are still alive and well, and they will soon follow the envoy to serve as soldiers and eat food. ”

Lin San's words made the women and children quiet, but the next scene made Han Zhan dumbfounded, and the women and children scattered one after another knowing that their relatives were safe and sound, some were busy feeding the chickens and ducks running all over the village, and some were sitting in front of their broken houses sewing clothes, as if Han Zhan and the dozens of cavalry he brought were transparent people.

Han Zhan, who was about to go up and say a few words, could only smile bitterly when he saw this situation, he knew in his heart that for these women and children in the cottage, as long as their families were safe, it was much more practical than dividing the land and land.

Seeing Han Zhan, who was pale, Lin San said with a little humility: "Envoy, you must be tired, why don't you go to the house and sit down." ”

Han Zhan first instructed Luo Bu to take the cavalry to find a place to dismount and rest, then turned over and dismounted and followed Lin San to the meeting hall of the cottage. The so-called council hall is a thatched house made of stone, but the gate is two vermilion lacquer gates, and at a glance it is clear that it was removed from the door of a large family when he went out to rob the house.

Seeing Han Zhan staring at the gate non-stop, Lin San explained a little embarrassedly: "Envoy, this is the owner of the village who took his brothers to make a fortune in a village next to the county seat, and unloaded it from the door of a rich family. ”

The house is simple, and the facilities inside are even more shabby, except for a table in the center, there is no furniture. After Han Zhan sat down behind the table, Lin San walked to the door and beckoned someone to bring tea to Han Zhan.

With Lin San's shout, a woman walked in with a clay pot in one hand and a bowl in the other. She walked over to the table, put the bowl on the table, lifted the crockpot and poured water into the bowl. After pouring the water, he said in a rough voice: "Please drink tea." ”

Han Zhan recognized that this was the woman who was the most daring and had been talking to Lin San, so he smiled at her and said politely, "Thank you, eldest sister." After speaking, he reached out and picked up the tea bowl placed on the table, and brought it close to his mouth to take a sip.

When the woman saw that Han Zhan was so approachable, her fear of him was alleviated a lot, so she boldly asked, "Envoy, you said that you want to divide the land for us, is this all true?" ”

Han Zhan put down the tea bowl in his hand and replied with a smile: "That's right, this envoy is here to invite you to go to the county seat together, choose a proper place for you to settle in, and then distribute the cultivated fields to you." ”

"Of course, it's good to be able to go to the county seat," said the woman with a smile, "It's a pity that I have planted millet and radishes and other vegetables outside the village, and it is really not good to leave at this time." In addition to planting vegetables outside the village, I also raised chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep at home, and it was really not easy to move......

Through the conversation with the woman, Han Zhan realized that he had thought about the problem too simply. He thought that as long as he followed Lin San to the cottage and talked to the people in the village about moving, everyone would happily follow him. In order to prevent anyone from falling grass here, a fire was made to burn down the stockade when leaving. But now it seems that everyone is not too enthusiastic about moving, and the original plan is a bit unworkable.

After careful consideration, Han Zhan decided not to take the people in the cottage away for the time being, but to let them continue to live here. However, before leaving, he left behind a small number of cavalry, in addition to protecting the safety of the women and children in the village, he also had a secret mission, which was to find the treasures hidden by the black clothes and his henchmen, so that they could be used in the future when recruiting troops and horses.

After all this, Han Zhan rushed with the rest of the cavalry to join Zhao Yun and them.

……

……

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the brigade marched along the official road to the county seat.

When he was less than ten miles away from the county seat, the tun chief who was leading the foot soldiers to open the road in front suddenly saw a group of people who looked like family members on the official road in front of him, he hurriedly stopped the team and sent a clever soldier to check.

"What's going on, why did the team stop?" As soon as he sent out the soldiers, he heard someone behind him asking his words, turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Yun, the Marquis of Qu Jun, and he hurriedly replied: "Marquis Qiqi, there is a group of people surrounded on the official road in front, and the small one has sent someone to investigate." ”

Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this, turned his horse's head back to Han Zhan's side, and reported to him: "Envoy, there is a group of people surrounding the official road in front, I don't know what the origin is, the tun chief has already sent someone to check." ”

Although the soldiers who went to investigate had not returned, Han Zhan didn't think that anything big would happen in such a close place from the county seat, so he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, let's go over and have a look." With that, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and urged the horse forward. Zhao Yun was worried that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly followed with a few cavalrymen.

After approaching, Han Zhan saw that in the middle of the road, a beautifully decorated carriage was lying across the road, the front end of the carriage was raised high, and the rear end was falling on the road, and the two wheels were leaning against the carriage in a figure-eight shape. It turned out that the axle was broken. Many housekeepers are trying to lift the car to replace the broken axle.

Seeing a few riders coming, a person who looked like a son immediately greeted him, and bowed to Han Zhan and them: "Everyone, Xiao Ke's carriage is broken and needs to be replaced here." I didn't want to block your way, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a family member hurriedly came over and said loudly: "Childe, we don't have a spare axle, and we can't replace it for the time being." ”

After hearing this, Gongzi showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then glared at Jiading, and said angrily: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and send someone to ride a horse to the county seat to buy." ”

"Whoa!" The family hurriedly agreed, and prepared to ride to the county seat to buy axles.

"Don't worry," Han Zhan said in a friendly tone, "We have extra axles here, let's use them for Childe first." With that, he instructed the patch behind him, "Go to the carriage behind you and fetch a spare axle." ”
