Nine dragons and Zhang Fatzi are the younger brothers of the neat king, and the two camps are stationed on Jiyangguan North Road. In a small corner of Yunyang, the rogue is like a gathering of sand, and the strong ones can occupy a good location, and like the two of them, only three or four thousand soldiers and horses, can only camp in this poor place.

Although Liu Zhe is the leader of the camp, he can't find any better place for Zhao Yinghuan in a short period of time, and before Gao Yingxiang made a clear statement, Zhao Dangshi's status in the camp is still unknown. Zhao Dangshi was able to understand Liu Zhe's hard work, and he didn't complain anything to Han Gon.

Han Gon was observing Zhao Dangshi all the way, he was a first-class good player in the camp, brave and good at fighting, highly appreciated by Gao Yingxiang and Liu Zhe, and his vision was higher than ordinary people. Zhao Dangshi was originally unknown, and he only relied on luck to get the head of Cao Wenzhao, and others admired him, but he didn't admire it. If a husband earns fame, he has to fight it with a knife and a gun. I heard that the surname Zhao had been following Liu Zongmin, but he picked up a leak, it was just a fluke, and it was not worth buying.

He is not from Shaanxi and Henan, but a deserter from Liaodong, or a night guard of Daxingbao in Ningyuan, and his military quality is very high, and he can't stand the pressure of Shangguan before he escapes. After going through many difficulties and dangers outside the border, he came to Shanxi, just in time for Chongzhen's five years of king and other chaos in Jinzhong, so he joined the gang. Since then, he has made outstanding achievements, and he has become Liu Zhe's most relied on general as an outsider.

Because he is good at equestrianism at the border pass, he can be regarded as a small general banner that does not collect at night, and because of his talent, Han Gon has a strong ability to use cavalry. Gao Yingxiang also likes to use cavalry, and the "three walls" tactic has been tried and tested repeatedly. Han Gon is really at home here.

This time he came to pick up Zhao Ying, in addition to leading the way, he also had a task, which was to spy on Zhao Ying's reality and assess his strength. Through careful observation, Zhao Ying's situation was both expected by Han Gon and unexpected by him.

Expected. First of all, the scale of Zhaoying is not large. According to experience, five thousand or so. This is a small amount of rogue bandits who are nearly 10,000 or even tens of thousands everywhere. Not to mention breaking into the camp, sweeping the king, breaking into the sky, scorpion block, each battalion withdrawn from Nanzhili, are seriously reduced, but each still has 20,000 or 30,000 horses, just look at the next level of neat king, Huang Long, Zhang Miaoshou, etc., there are nearly 10,000 people. In terms of the number of soldiers, Zhao Ying could only be put together with the nine dragons.

Moreover, Zhao Ying's multi-infantry army and few horses are also the norm among the rogues. Nowadays, most of the official horses and civilian horses in Shaanxi, Henan and other places are collected by the rogues, although there are quite a lot of them, but most of these strategic materials are mastered by Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other big Kou, and ordinary Xiaokou does not have many rides, if there is, they will also be looted. When he first saw Zhang Xiongfei in the past, he was thinking about Zhao Dangshi's eight horses, which is the best proof. This is also an important factor in the strength of those old men's combat effectiveness. Zhao Dangshi got 500 horses from Li Zicheng, and then collected some along the way, there were about 600 horses, and the Ma Junsi had one person and three horses. In Han Gon's opinion, this amount is naturally insufficient.

Unexpected. The first to bear the brunt was Zhao Ying's firearms. Since he made a fortune from Gao Jie, Zhao Ying's firearms are enough to completely configure a simple firearms division, and then he has continued to plunder the arsenals of various places, until now, there are about 500 bird guns, five tiger squat cannons, six Franc machines, and the rest of the guns and other guns are also better. This amount is less than the above, and more than enough than the bottom, Han Gon estimates that there are probably not so many firearms in the camp of the sweeping king.

Secondly, the mental outlook of the soldiers of the Zhao Battalion is really surprising, and the most obvious manifestation is the appearance. The same is true for the rogue who eats the strong and the strong, just looking at their own home. As long as it is a miscellaneous card in the battalion and a non-descendant, the treatment is really different from that of the descendant army. Zhao Dangshi and others in Li Zicheng's eighth team had a very intuitive perception of the three battalions in the front, middle and rear, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled who were temporarily arrested to serve as cannon fodder. Looking at the camps, it is as strong as breaking into the camp, and most of them are inevitably in the shape of starvation, and only some of the backbone soldiers and horses similar to Han Gon can be called dragon spirits and tigers. There are few people in Zhao Ying, but they are all full of vitality and sturdy body, and they are not half reluctant and twilight. Han Gon has a wealth of experience, and he has never met an army with such weather from Liaodong to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places.

Just looking at the surface, Han Gon made a preliminary conclusion to Zhao Ying: there are few people but good soldiers.

Because he didn't have a deeper understanding, he couldn't further evaluate Zhao Ying, but with this short five-word evaluation, Han Gon's opinion of Zhao Dangshi had completely changed, and if he could govern the army like this, the commander was not a miscellaneous fish, so from the beginning, he regarded it as a nine dragons and put it in a position almost at the same level as Breaking the Collapsed Heaven.

Han Gon is straightforward, and if he doesn't look down on people, he won't look at him with his eyes, and if he is a really capable person, he will be truly respectful. Zhao Dangshi didn't know what was going on in his heart, and during the conversation, he obviously felt that the other party's attitude had changed - the arrogance at the beginning disappeared, and it was replaced by a bold and amiable atmosphere.

A few miles after passing the collapsed and dilapidated Jiyang Pass, the second battalion of Jiu and Zhang who were connected together was impressive, Han Gon pulled his head, and approached Zhao Dangshi and said: "Brother Zhao, you are not familiar with Jiu and Zhang, if you get along with them, I am afraid that you will be a little uncomfortable." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Han Gon shook his head and said, "These two people are strange in nature, and they are extremely cruel, even if I see them, I can't bear to see them. It is because there are few other camps who are willing to camp with the two of them. ”

"There is such a thing." Zhao Dangshi was a little puzzled. Many of them have a penchant for brutality, such as the Yellow Thief in the middle of the river, who likes to cut people's abdomen, tie the victim to a tree with his intestines, or throw the baby high, and fall to the ground. Could the behavior of these two people be worse than this?

At this moment, the two of them came from a distance, knelt down in front of the two horses and said, "The villain is ordered to take charge of the plate and invite the two to watch the play in the west of the camp." "There are many watchtowers several zhang high in the camp of Nine Dragons and Zhang Fatzi, I think they knew about the arrival of Zhao Dangshi and Han Gon in advance, so they specially invited them.

Han Gon smiled bitterly, looked at Zhao Dangshi and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Hearing is better than seeing, does Brother Zhao want to see and see? ”

Zhao Dangshi was also a little curious when he heard him say that he was mysterious, and said: "Since the two eldest brothers are here, I am new to the hospital, and there is no reason to refuse. But I don't know what this 'watching the show' means, so I ask Brother Han to mention it a little. ”

Han Gon waved his horsewhip and said to the man first: "You go, just say that General Zhao and I will arrive immediately." "Look at the person who is gone, turn to Zhao Dangshi," these two people have a variety of tricks, and they are different every time. Since they specially prepared this performance for Brother Zhao, it must be even more chic and different from the past. ”

He spoke leisurely, but the bitterness at the corner of his mouth was taken in by Zhao Dangshi, and he thought to himself: "I don't know what tricks these nine dragons play with Zhang Fatzi." But looking at this Han Gon's demeanor, it must not be a good thing. Let's take a look at it first, and don't worry. After years of crisscrossing several provinces, Zhao Dangshi is also accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes, although he is suspicious of the invitation of the other party, but there is nothing to worry about.

Zhao Dangshi found Hou Dagui and Xu Hui and handed over the matter of choosing a place to set up camp with them. These two people are familiar with military affairs, and there is no need for Zhao Dangshi to worry about this trivial matter. After a few brief explanations, Zhao and Han took more than ten horsemen away.

On the west side of the camp near the river, there is a relatively flat meadow, which is now surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, bustling and lively.

Someone saw Zhao and Han and greeted them early. They led the horses and were led to the Nine Dragons and Zhang Fatzi.

"Ahh The slightly chubby man walked in front of the nine dragons and smiled. Zhao Dangshi looked at this person's appearance, he was middle-to-top, with a big bare head and goldfish eyes, and he was a fat man.

The nine dragons also came up to salute, and the two recognized each other, not surprisingly, the slightly chubby man was Zhang Fat. Although these two people formed an independent camp, they were still respectful to Han Gon, who broke into the king's lineage, and they were completely subordinates.

"The two of you are ......" The four of them chatted a few words, and Zhao Dangshi turned his eyes to the frolicking crowd and asked. Han Gon said earlier that Jiu and Zhang have a good show to show themselves, needless to say, the "protagonists" should be in the circle heavily blocked by people's figures.

Zhang Fatzi smiled, he was a self-acquaintance, enthusiastic, and took Zhao Dangshi's hand and said: "Brother Zhao is the first time he comes, I don't know the customs of my camp, every time a distinguished guest arrives, I and the ninth brother have to hold a show to welcome." ”

The nine dragons echoed: "This time, for Brother Zhao, the two of us have spread widely and searched hard, and they have worked very hard, and finally found these rare goods for Brother Zhao's fun." ”

"What rarity?" Zhao Dangshi was confused, and the more he listened, the more confused he became. Han Gon was silent and stood quietly on his side.

"Brother Zhao can see it at a glance." Zhang Fatzi pulled Zhao Dangshi over, faced the crowd, smiled, and shouted, "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, let General Zhao rejoice!" ”

When the soldiers heard the sound, they shouted noisily to get out of the way, Zhang Fatzi and Zhao Dangshi were in front, and the nine dragons and Han Gon followed and entered the circle through the empty road.

As far as his eyes went, Zhao Dangshi's color changed.

I saw that on the huge lawn, there were two large log pillars, and the pillars were tied with iron chains, and the iron chains extended one step out, and they were actually connected by two naked women. The two women were all scarred, and their arms, waist, abdomen, back, shoulders, and even buttocks were all flesh and skin turned over, and the marks and scars were crossed, which could really be called incomplete. I wanted to see their faces, but they were disheveled, and they couldn't see their appearances clearly. However, pus and blood were constantly oozing from the messy and damp hairs, and it was conceivable that their faces should have been destroyed to the point of flesh and blood.

"This is, this is ......" Zhao Dangshi only felt sick to his stomach for a while, and his anger suddenly rose, "What's so good about this?" ”

Zhang Fatzi smiled as usual, and said first: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, the wonderful is behind." After speaking, he clapped his hands and instructed left and right, "Quick, let's start, let General Zhao be happy." ”

The soldiers on the left and right were obviously familiar with the operating procedures and stepped forward in response. Zhao Dangshi watched in amazement as they took two large iron hooks shaped like fishhooks, then walked around behind the two women, and forcibly shoved the hooks into their back doors. The two women immediately let out a howl that pierced the heavens and the earth, and the smell was heart-palpitating.

"Put!" Without waiting for Zhao Dangshi's reaction, Zhang Fatzi gave the next order.

The soldiers were well at work, and in the blink of an eye the chains that had been tied to the two women were removed, but at the same time, the chains connected by the two large iron hooks were quickly wound around the posts.

The next scene was completely beyond Zhao Dangshi's cognition. But when the soldiers brought a large piece of red iron, without saying a word, he suddenly stuck it to the back of one of the women. I only heard the piercing sound of "Zizi", and the white mist spread out from the flesh and blood, and the skin was scorched and rotten in an instant. The woman screamed in pain. She had been tormented to the point of delirium, and now she rushed out on instinct and reflexively. But the iron hook was still firmly behind her, and before she took half a step, there was a "poof" sound, and the woman's intestines were instantly pulled out. The woman was crazy, unaware, and took two big steps, and the green intestines were also taken out more than a meter, and she snorted and fell to her death. The flow of blood and filth around him was all over the ground, and it was extremely tragic.

This whole process only lasted a few seconds, but Zhao Dangshi felt as if he had survived several years.

"Hahaha, my iron hook is specially made, even with barbs, once stuffed, there is no possibility of getting out. How's it going, is it painful? I'll call them another ......," the fat man's eyebrows fluttered, and he looked very proud of his invention.

"No, I don't have to." Zhao Dangshi forcibly endured the disgusting intention, waved his hand and refused repeatedly, and then glanced at the appearance of Zhang Fatzi and the nine dragons hippie smiling faces, and for a while, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of the guts.

"Oh? I think Brother Zhao doesn't like this, it's okay, my brother is a distinguished guest, in addition to this, Brother Long and I have prepared another gift......"

"yes." Nine dragons stepped forward to take over the conversation, "I scattered a hundred people, went through a lot of dangers, and finally caught two pregnant women in the mountains, hehe, not long, not short, the children in the belly happened to be pregnant for seven or eight months." ”

"How?" Zhao Dangshi looked at the faces of Han Gon and Liu Zhe and thought about the friendship of "Paoze", although he felt disgusted and angry, he still forced it not to attack.

The nine dragons grinned, revealing extremely filthy teeth: "Brother Zhao doesn't know Lao Zhang's stunt, he is so powerful that he can guess the situation of the baby in the pregnant woman's womb in advance." After guessing, I broke my stomach and took it out to see if it was a man or a woman. If you don't believe, I'll make ......."

"Shut up!" Zhao Dangshi's eyebrows were raised, he could no longer hold back his anger and disgust, and in front of the surprised faces of several people, he knocked the nine dragons to the ground with one punch.
