Chapter 126: Captured

Outside the city of Pingzhou, dozens of Zhao Guojing horses galloped around, and the knights concentrated on exploring the nearby situation.

Pingzhou borders on the upper county of the Qin State, and because the upper county is vast and sparsely populated, it is rare to see the people of the Qin State.

Since Su Mo guarded the Ping Zhou, he sent elite cavalry to break into the Qin land every day to investigate everywhere, and if he saw any trace of the Qin people, he would arrest them.

Just because there are very few people here, as long as there are Qin people, it is very likely that it will be a fine work of the Qin State.

"There's someone over there!"

Suddenly, the scout at the head saw a figure shaking in the distance, and hurriedly reminded his robe in a loud voice.

Immediately afterward, the two horsemen left the crowd far away and stood at a distance to observe the situation.

The reason why they did this was because they were worried that they would encounter a large group of Qin troops, and everyone would rush forward and annihilate the whole army, so that there would be no soldiers to return to Pingzhou to report the news.

"Line up, go up and have a look!"

When the leader of the scouts saw that the two were in a safe zone, he motioned for his corporal to come forward and investigate.

These elite horsemen were all well-trained, and although they only had more than a dozen people, they also formed a formation that was both offensive and defensive, and all the knights were armed with spears in their hands, and their faces were murderous.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The horses galloped, making a slight footsteps, and the dust was raised high.

"What people, come out!"

The leader of the scouts led his men to a grove and shouted inside.

It was quiet for a long time, but there was not the slightest movement in the woods.

"If I don't come out again, I'll set fire to the forest."

Don't enter the forest.

Although the Scout Commander has not read much, his years of wandering in the army have also made him have a natural wariness and fear of the woods.

Therefore, the Scout Commander did not want to risk rushing into the woods, but instead threatened to set fire to the people inside, trying to force the people inside to appear.

"Dare to ask you, but you are the defenders of Pingzhou!"

Just as the Scout Commander was on guard, a strong and slightly tired voice came from the woods.

The scout leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted, "Exactly, who are you waiting for!" ”

When the people in the woods heard this, they spoke again: "We have no malicious intentions, and we are not the Qin State's meticulous work, but we can't bear the tyranny of the Qin State, so we have traveled a long way to belong to the Zhao State. ”

Before the voice could fully fall, the Scout Commander saw three ragged men walking out of the woods with their hands raised.

These three people are Wang Qian, Fu Bo and young people who escaped from Qin.

After crossing Luoshui, they turned north, but because the road was rough and difficult to walk, they had no choice but to abandon their horses.

The three of them hid in Tibet and traveled for a month before they arrived at the junction of Qin and Zhao.

Compared to the well-dressed people who had just left Dongxiang, the three of them were almost beggars now, and they looked very down.

"Take it!"

The scout commander didn't care too much, and directly ordered his subordinates to take down three people.

"Who dare!"

The person who reported to Wang Jian was Xiao Zhao, and when Xiao Zhao saw that Zhao Guo's soldiers wanted to take down himself and others, he immediately roared angrily and put on a defensive posture.

"Xiao Zhao is rude!"

Seeing this, Wang Jian stopped Xiao Zhao, and then looked at the scout commander with an apologetic face.

He knew very well that the three of them were now tired and hungry, and their combat strength had been cut by half, and if they aroused the hostility of the other party, the three of them would most likely be killed on the spot.

He didn't want to see that he didn't die in the territory of Qin, but died on the Zhao people.

"This general, we are indeed sincere in our vote, not the Qin State's meticulous work, if the general does not believe it, he can also take us down, I just hope that the general can treat us well."

Wang Jian is familiar with military books and is interested in commanding troops to fight in all directions, and he has long studied Zhao Jia, a potential enemy.

Wang Jian knew very well that the Zhao army in the land of Shenqi was extremely fierce on the battlefield, but in non-war times, it was required to be very strict, and civilians could not be abused, blackmailed, or killed at will.

Without permission, even the people of Qin State could not kill at will.

It was precisely because of knowing these that Wang Jian was willing to let go of all his defenses and was willing to be captured by Zhao Jun.

In Wang Qian's opinion, even if he was captured by Zhao Jun, it was better than dying in Qin.

"Take it!"

Originally, seeing that Xiao Zhao was preparing to resist, the scout commander had already become murderous, but seeing that the leader was so knowledgeable, he also relaxed his vigilance a little.

Since Zhao Jia entered the land of Shenqi, he has implemented benevolent governance internally, and has recruited displaced people externally.

Therefore, many people who cannot survive in many countries will venture into the land of Shenqi and want to get houses and fields here.

Of course, these exiles may also be mixed with the details of other countries, and want to enter the land of Shenqi to hear the news.

Rao is like this, Zhao Jia still did not give up food because of choking, but encouraged the acceptance of displaced people from all over the world.

However, the audit has become extremely strict.

The Scout Commander felt that these three people did not look like outcasts, nor did they look like fine works, but more like people with status who had fled from the Qin State.

Of course, he is only responsible for taking people, and as for how to identify these people, there is no need to worry too much.

In Pingzhou City, Su Mo was handling military affairs.

Even after the end of the war, Su Mo was still stationed in Pingzhou, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The unfinished construction work of Pingzhou is also in full swing, as long as the money, food, and population are enough, it will not be long before Pingzhou can be built into a fortress.

"Gongzi has instructed not to forcibly recruit the people to build fortresses, but to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and let them take the initiative to participate in the construction of fortresses."

"If you want to do this, the wages of the people who build the fortress are indispensable, and you must strictly supervise it, and no official will be allowed to be greedy for ink, and if it is found, it will be severely punished!"

After listening to Su Mo's instructions, Qi Xuan nodded emphatically.

The two are now cooperating more and more tacitly, and after experiencing that big battle, Qi Xuan felt completely impressed by Su Mo, and was willing to stay under the other party's command to do things.

"Captain, today the scouts arrested three Qin people outside the city, no matter how much the person in charge of questioning coercion, the other party did not want to tell his identity, but instead named and wanted to see you."

Su Mo put down the military affairs in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He is now the commander of Pingzhou, and all kinds of military affairs are very complicated, and it is impossible to summon someone in person every time he enters Pingzhou City.

"What's going on with these three people?"

Now that Qin is in turmoil, it is unlikely that he will send troops to attack Zhao, so the possibility of being a spy of Qin is very small.

Qi Xuan replied: "Although the three of them have not explained their identities, but from my point of view, the young man led by him is knowledgeable and reasonable, and his bearing is extraordinary, his hands are calloused, and his martial arts are obviously extraordinary. ”

"This kind of person is very likely to be born in Jiangmen."

When Su Mo heard this, he remembered the civil strife in the Qin State, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and his eyes became brighter.

"Take me to those three quickly!"
