Liao Hua led the order to lead the troops to rush out, and Han Zhong's cavalry fell under the horses one after another, and were stabbed by the iron thistle buried in the soil by Zhao Yi in advance, and fell to the ground and let out a high-pitched wail.

Han Zhong, who fell to the ground and finally stood up, saw Liao Hua coming with a team of men and horses, and as soon as the long knife in his hand was raised, he was cut off by Liao Hua, who was running over: "The thief Han Zhong is dead!" All the armies lay down their arms and all of them will not die! ”

Looking at Han Zhong's corpse, which was constantly spurting blood out, these soldiers who fell to the ground showed a panicked look in their eyes, and the head of the spear that was barely raised had a tendency to fall.

The middle-aged man pulled out his sword and pointed it directly at Liao Hua, and shouted in his mouth: "All the armies will kill with me!" "Although Liao Hua and these people are not injured, there are not many of them, and as long as Han Zhong's troops fight up, they still have a great chance of winning.

Liao Hua looked directly at the middle-aged man with cold eyes, ran two steps to the middle-aged man, and waved the long knife in his hand.

The middle-aged man was a weak scholar, and when he saw Liao Hua's long knife slashing over, his eyes showed a look of horror. The sword in his hand was only raised a little, and his head was cut off by Liao Hua.

Liao Hua shouted again: "All the troops lay down their weapons and all of them will be spared!" ”

"Click" A few spears fell to the ground, someone hit the head, and then the soldiers all put down their weapons, Liao Hua stood with a knife and exhaled deeply.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liao Hua excitedly reported the results: "My lord, we killed more than 300 people from Han Zhong's department and collected 600 surrendered troops. With more than 200 people, he actually defeated a thousand elite horsemen, Liao Hua really couldn't imagine.

"Hmm." Zhao Yi just replied lightly.

This cold look made Liao Hua and Cheng Yin a little strange, could it be that their adults were not satisfied with this kind of result?

"Da Da Da" A sound of horses' hooves sounded, Zhao Yi looked up and saw a team of men and horses galloping over, led by Liu Bei, and a heroic general in silver-white armor, Gongsun Zhan.

The thistle terrestris has been taken out by Zhao Yi, and the body has been buried, but the bloodstains can still be seen from the ground. Raising his eyes and seeing the big 'Zhao' flag flying in the wind on the city wall, Zhao Yizheng smiled and waved his hand to Liu Bei. Liu Bei's hanging heart finally let go.

"Zhao Bolai, with more than 200 people, defeated Han Zhong with a thousand elite horses, it is really unbelievable." Liu Bei sighed. Gongsun Zhan, who came with him, was also amazed.

Zhao Yi rode over, greeted Liu Bei, looked Gongsun Zan up and down, looked heroic and resolute: "I have heard the name of Brother Bo Qi for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

"Brother Bolai has won the prize." Gongsun Chan arched his hand and smiled: "Although I didn't help when I came here today, I got to see a young talent like Brother Bolai, which is really worth the trip." ”

"Brother Bo Jue has an overreputation. Please! "Invite the two into the city.

Knowing that Zhao Yi used a strategy to deal with Han Zhong, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were very impressed. Liu Bei sighed: "The right strategy can be worth tens of millions of male soldiers." ”

Gongsun Chan appreciated Zhao Yi's resourcefulness very much, and he pushed the cup with Zhao Yi more during the banquet, expressing only one meaning, if he Gongsun Chan encountered trouble in the future, when he asked Zhao Yi to help, please don't shirk.

Zhao Yi pretended not to understand. Laughed and sent the two out of the city gate.

In just a few days after the battle between Zhao Yi and Han Zhong, it spread all over Youzhou, and there were many people who defected in the past few days.

Fan Yangcheng has never been so lively, and many young people with wraps on their backs are walking on the streets. Liao Hua in the barracks couldn't keep his mouth shut, there have been 600 people who have joined the army in the past few days, plus the 600 soldiers who were collected before and the men and horses of Fanyang City, there are now more than 1,400 people in Fanyang City.

Liao Hua was relieved this time, as long as it wasn't for the Yellow Turban Xiaofang military horses pouring out of the nest, with Zhao Yi in charge, and then these horses under his command, Fanyang County could be described as impregnable.

Liao Hua came to the mansion excitedly, and came to Zhao Yi with a piece of paper: "My lord, more than 100 people came to vote for us today." "At this time, the yellow scarves are in chaos, and there are more people to have confidence. But with the increase in the number of soldiers and horses in Fanyang County, Liao Hua not only saw Zhao Yi's face showing joy, but even a little distressed.

took the list from Liao Hua's hand, and glanced at it roughly, the people who came to vote were all Zhang San and Li Si. Zhao Yi sighed: "How many soldiers and horses are there in my county now?" ”

Speaking of this, Liao Hua came to the spirit: "My lord, there are nearly 1,500 people in our county today. Thanks to the fame of the adults, the number is still increasing. As long as we strengthen our training, like Han Zhong's elite cavalry, it will be much easier for us to deal with than last time. ”

The strength of the soldiers and the strength of the horses is what Zhao Yi is happy to see, but what he is not happy to see is the shortage of military food.

Cheng Yin came to tell Zhao Yi in the early morning that the military rations in the county were about to run out. Zhao Yi waved his hand to let Liao Hua train the soldiers and horses, and he went to the backyard, these two small rows of corn grew gratifyingly, and the green branches and leaves were full of vitality under the reflection of the sun.

Zhao Yi muttered: "According to this trend, if you want to be self-sufficient, it will take three or five years." ”

Entering the backyard, the fragrant smell rushed to his face, Xiaoqiu was commanding some soldiers to put chrysanthemums in the room, and immediately saluted when he saw Zhao Yi: "Master." ”

A few days ago, he was busy dealing with Han Zhong, Zhao Yi rarely entered the backyard, but now when he saw the busy crowd in the backyard, a smile appeared on his face: "Zhou Ping's business has been doing very well these days." ”

Xiaoqiu rubbed his somewhat sore arm: "No, Zhou Ping sold thousands of bottles in Youzhou at once, and sent someone to summon us to prepare quickly." Master, our place is too small, and some of it is in short supply. ”

"When we're done with this time, we'll move to a bigger place." Zhao Yi was still very satisfied with Zhou Ping's speed, instructed Xiaoqiu a few words, and left the backyard humming a little song.

I wanted to go to Zhou Ping to ask for money to temporarily solve the urgent need. The person sent back said that Zhou Ping had gone to Yuyang and was not at home. Zhao Yi's smiling face suddenly collapsed.

In the early morning of the next day, he rode into the Fanyang County Mansion and handed over a letter to Zhao Yi, which was Liu Bei's letter. said that Liu Bei got the news that the Yellow Turban Thieves would attack Anxi County, and Liu Bei wanted to ask Zhao Yi to send troops to support.

When Zhao Yi saw the news, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Liao Hua immediately snorted: "Last time, the lord asked Liu Xuande to bring troops to our Fanyang, and he excused himself in every possible way. If it weren't for the adult's clever plan, I'm afraid that Fanyang County would have been broken by the Yellow Turban Thieves. Now Anxi County is in trouble, but he wants us to help, don't think about it! ”

"My lord, my troops and horses have not experienced large-scale battles, and they are like a plate of scattered sand on the battlefield. Since Xuande Gong is friendly with Gongsun Zhan, why not ask Gongsun Zhan to send troops? Cheng Yin said it tactfully, but his opinion was the same as Liao Hua's, and he didn't want to help Liu Bei.

Zhao Yi waved his hand: "Needless to say, I have already made a decision." After Zhao Yi entered the living room from the back hall, he said directly to the visitor: "You go to Xuande Gong, I can send troops." ”

When Liao Hua and Cheng Yin heard this, they looked panicked: "My lord! "It means to let Zhao Yi take back his life.

But Zhao Yi waved his hand to stop Liao Hua from talking to Cheng Yin, and looked at the soldier with a happy face: "However, there are conditions for me to send troops." I don't know if your prefectural commander will agree. ”

"On what terms?" The creep swallowed.

Zhao Yi stretched out five fingers: "I want 5,000 loads of grain." After speaking, he pushed the little soldier with a shocked face: "Hurry up and go back to report the news, it's late, the Yellow Turban soldiers are coming to the city, and it's too late for anything at that time." ”

Hearing Zhao Yi say that he wanted 5,000 quintals of grain, Cheng Yin no longer objected to Zhao Yi sending troops, there was a shortage of military food in the county, and if he could get these 5,000 quintals of grain, it would be enough to support him for a period of time. So now Cheng Yin is worried: "My lord, do you say that the Anxi County Order will agree?" ”

Zhao Yi said with certainty: "Yes!" "Liu Bei was willing to take out a thousand loads of grain in order to save Zhang Fei, not to mention that now is the time of life and death in Anxi County. If you want Zhao Yi to help, you have to give some benefits.

Zhao Yi's original words came into Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "This Zhao Bolai is very good at finding time to stretch out his hand." ”

"Big brother, that Zhao Yi'er is too deceitful, I'll take someone to arrest him and listen to him. Then I will see if this child still has the courage to ask for food. Zhang Fei snorted and turned around to leave, but was pulled by Liu Bei.

"Third brother, don't be reckless!"

Zhang Fei snorted and sat down again.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard: "Since the eldest brother is good friends with Gongsun Zhan, why don't you go to Gongsun Zhan?" ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "The number of soldiers and horses in Bo Jue is about the same as that of our Anxi County, and six hundred people have no chance of winning against more than 1,500 yellow turban thieves. Zhao Bolai became famous because of the battle with Han Zhong, and there were as many as 600 people who went to defect these days, plus Han Zhong's surrender to Fanyang County, the number of soldiers and horses was close to 1,005. It is the only one in our surrounding counties that can compete with the Yellow Turban Thieves. And Zhao Bolai is resourceful, and he can always win more with less, which is the main reason why I asked him to come to the rescue. Saying that, Liu Bei stood up and beckoned Guan and Zhang: "Let's go, let's tell the county magistrate about this matter and let him decide." ”

As Zhao Yi expected, the Anxi County Order agreed to Zhao Yi's conditions, and sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to escort the grain to Fanyang County.

Watching the truckload of grain coming in, Cheng Yin and Liao Hua's eyes lit up, and they beckoned the soldiers to send the grain to the barracks, Zhao Yi looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with unkind faces with a smile: "Yun Chang, Yide don't come unharmed." ”

"Hmph, the food has been received, it's time to go with us." Looking at Zhao Yi's smiling face, Zhang Fei really wanted to go over and slap him twice. But he didn't dare, for fear that Zhao Yi would be pressed on the hat of beating the court officials again, and then take the opportunity to ask for a thousand loads of food, which would be bad.

Zhao Yi only took 400 men and horses to follow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Anxi County. Zhang Fei got angry and grabbed Zhao Yi's neck: "Zhao Yi, are you bluffing me?" Take this little bit of people! ”

Guan Yu was also a little puzzled: "The Yellow Turban general Sun Zhong led an army of more than 1,500 people to invade my Anxi County, since you and I have united, I hope your lord can show some sincerity." ”
