After solemnly entrusting this matter to Zhao Hongrun, the head of the Zhengcheng Wang family, Wang Yu, the former ruler of the dynasty, left Anling under the escort of that family soldier. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Hongrun knew very well why Wang Yu was in such a hurry, just because the Wei dynasty was currently renting and selling land bordering Korea and Beidi such as Shangdang and Hedong, as long as he bought a piece, the Zhengcheng Wang clan could justifiably turn the government soldiers into an army, and even expand it again, with this army, it would earn military medals in the future wars with Wei and Korea, so that the Zhengcheng Wang clan had a real fiefdom.

Therefore, although Wang Yu loves his youngest son Wang Jin very much, he can't be distracted at this critical time, because if he Zhengcheng Wang's family can't take the lead, he will be left far behind by Yongwang's Hongyu's uncle, Shi's family, which will affect the battle between Donggong and Yongwang.

And as soon as Wang Yu left, it was not easy to speak bluntly in front of this national abbot, so Zongwei Changwei Weijiao poured out in one go.

"Your Highness, that Wang Jin was captured by the thief Kou Huanhu, that is his fate to be robbed by this, what does it have to do with His Highness? Your Highness must not be in danger. ”

After him, Zongwei Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, and Mu Qing echoed their words, and all three of them believed that there was no need for their Royal Highness to risk Wang Jin's life.

It's no wonder, after all, when he was camping in the land of Sanchuan, Zhao Hongrun and his ten sect guards all experienced Huanhu's night attack on the camp, and they knew Huanhu's ability very well: this bold thief actually led hundreds of horsemen to attack the camp of thousands of Sanchuan people and Wei troops.

Then, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Chenggao army, the Huan Hu cavalry had the law of advancing and retreating, and it was difficult to imagine that the Chenggao army, one of the six battalions of the garrison, and the more than 10,000 border garrison troops, actually had no way to take a cavalry of only a few hundred people.

And in the end, he was actually dumped by Huan Hu and infiltrated the interior of the Wei State.

This is simply a copy of the "Dangjun Traveling Horse": the original Dangjun Cavalry "Traveling Horse" army was like this to play the Song army and harass the Song Kingdom.

But in the end, Zhao Hongrun decided to meet Na Huanhu.

This is not for that Wang Jin, it's just that he is simply a little curious about Huan Hu, and wants to see what the purpose of that Huan Hu is.

Moreover, if you have the opportunity, see if you can recruit this person, after all, this person is really capable.

If it goes well, Huan Hu and Youma, Zhao Hongrun seems to see the opportunity for the rise of the Wei cavalry.

"Zhou Pu, you stay in Anling and preside over the overall situation for me." Zhao Hongrun instructed Zongwei Zhou Pudao: "The matter of the two counties is very important, and remember not to have the slightest fork. …… In order to prevent Huan Hu from diverting the tiger from the mountain, you immediately transferred 5,000 troops from Shangshui and stationed them near Anling. ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't say it explicitly, in fact, in addition to worrying about the progress of the "Two Counties Covenant Competition", he was also worried that the five sons of the Zhao family would repeat the old state, after all, how could the bad habits that these bad boys have cultivated for more than ten or twenty years really disappear because they were locked up in the county jail for a month?

However, Zhao Hongrun believes that as long as Zongwei Zhou Pu sits in Anling, the five sons of the Zhao family will never dare to be disobedient: these five boys have already been tortured by Zhou Pu out of the psychological shadow.

"Obedience."

Seeing that His Royal Highness had made up his mind, Zhou Pu had no choice but to clench his fists and respond, but he still suggested: "Your Highness, if you really want to negotiate with that Huan Hu, please be sure to bring the merchant army and the crows." ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "I will summon Xiang Li, Ran Teng, and Zhang Ming to go with three thousand-person teams." …… Duan Pei, you also summoned two hundred green crows from Shangshui to go with this king. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Duan Pei knocked on the ground and hugged his fists.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun left Zongwei Zhou Pu to sit in Anling, and then took Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Lu Mu, and Mu Qing to leave the city and go north under the secret protection of the green crows.

In the middle of the way, Zhao Hongrun summoned Xiang Li, Ran Teng, and Zhang Ming, three thousand-strong teams he sent to search for Huanhu's traces, and ordered them to break them into pieces and disperse their troops to the place where Huanhu was negotiating, so as not to startle the snake.

I have to say, the big thief Huan Hu is indeed very bold, guess where he is?

He is near Jiaocheng in the northwest of Anling, in the northwest mountain forest about eight miles away from the city, that low hill, the locals call it "Bali Temple", Zhao Hongrun does not know what this name is about, probably the mountain is dedicated to the mountain god believed by the locals.

"I didn't take the county soldiers of Jiaocheng into account at all, these people only have a few hundred cavalry!"

When mentioning this matter, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao said in an inexplicable tone.

He was shocked by Huan Hu's guts.

You say, if the Bali Temple is a continuous hill, like Geyang Mountain in Yangxia, and the hills where Anling and Yanling meet, that's fine, but Bali Temple obviously only has two hills, covering an area of only about three miles, you kid actually dare to be stationed here?

The army that is not afraid of encirclement and suppression will send troops to surround you and directly wipe you out?

"Maybe Huan Hu has a hostage relationship with Wang Jin in his hands." Lu Mu said after thinking about it.

Not to mention, maybe this is the case, after all, Wang Jin is the sister-in-law of the Wang family of Zhengcheng, and he is very loved by the prince Wang Yu, and the queen Wang family also likes this younger brother, Huan Hu grabbed such a bargaining chip, I believe that the county order of Jiaocheng really dare not make any moves to stimulate Huan Hu.

Coming to the foot of Bali Temple Mountain, Zhao Hongrun watched for a while.

Unfortunately, it is now May, which is the time when the vegetation is flourishing, so that Zhao Hongrun has observed for a while, but he has not seen the reality on the mountain, which is blocked by the dense vegetation.

"Wei Jiao." Zhao Hongrun called in a low voice.

Wei Jiao understood, drove his mount a few steps forward, and shouted loudly at the mountain: "Huan Hu——! ”

As soon as the words fell, a few people in the forest on the mountain walked down, dressed similarly to the horse thieves that Zhao Hongrun saw when he camped in Sanchuan, only to see these people slowly walking to a position only about a dozen zhang away from Zhao Hongrun, and one of them asked with a flirtatious expression: "You are Ji Run, the king of Wei?" ”

Zhao Hongrun stretched out his hand to stop Wei Jiao, who was angry after hearing this, nodded and said lightly: "It's this king!" …… Didn't Huan Hu want to see this king? Where is he? ”

"Our boss, it's on this mountain, you can go up and meet him yourself." The thief raised his right hand, pointed to the hill behind him with his thumb, and then pointed behind Zhao Hongrun and said, "But these people, stay behind!" ”

What he was referring to was a thousand-man merchant army led by Xiang Li, a thousand-man general, behind Zhao Hongrun.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, and sneered: "Huanhu's shelf is even bigger than this king!" ”

The thief shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression: "I just relayed what our boss meant, if you don't want to go up the mountain, you can go back." ”

After that, these thieves actually left on their own, so angry that Wei Jiao cursed in a low voice: "Good thieves! How arrogant! ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun didn't speak, just looked up at the hills a few more times, and then called softly: "Xiang Li." ”

Hearing this, a thousand people turned out of Xiang Li behind him, clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness." ”

"You and your thousand-man team, stay here. …… As the king commanded the three of you, surround the hill from afar, and do not act rashly. …… If the king sends a signal on the mountain, he will attack the mountain with all his strength and capture Huan Hu! ”

"At the end, someone will be sent to inform Ran Teng and Zhang Ming." Xiang Li nodded, and then said worriedly: "But Your Highness, your safety is ...... in this way."

"It's okay, isn't there a guard around this king?" Zhao Hongrun waved his hand, turned over and dismounted, and after handing over the reins to Xiang Li, he walked towards the hill with the four sect guards.

Behind him, about a dozen ordinary soldiers in leather armor followed closely with their heads bowed.

"These people don't seem to be Su Wangwei......

Xiang Li looked at the dozen or so soldiers who followed Zhao Hongrun, and secretly wondered in his heart.

He guessed correctly, these people were indeed not Su Wangwei, but the green crows, after all, they only brought Wei Jiao and other four Zongwei to the thieves' den, not to mention that the Zongwei would try their best to oppose them, even Zhao Hongrun was afraid that he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

But if there are crows on the side, then the situation will naturally be different.

Oh, the green crows mentioned here don't just refer to these dozen or so people, more green crows have already quietly sneaked into the Bali Temple in front of them, and quietly touched towards the place where Huan Hu was.

As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Zhao Hongrun will not pin his safety on the character of thieves such as Huan Hu.

With the guards and more than a dozen green crows slowly up the mountain, Zhao Hongrun saw a lot of Huanhu riders resting in the mountains and forests along the way, only to see that after noticing him, some of them licked the blade with their tongues, deliberately showing a frightened look; Others wipe their weapons on their own; More often than not, they lay down lazily to rest, and some of them were really asleep and snoring.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun's face was a little solemn, because he felt that this was a very strong horseman.

The pressure on him from these people is no less than that of the Dangshan Army's cavalry hunting camp, or even more so.

The hill of Bali Temple is not high, and it didn't take long for Zhao Hongrun and his party to walk to the top of this hill.

At the top of the hill, there is naturally the mountain temple, and there is a flat land in front of the temple, about a dozen zhang square, which is not as dense as other places with dense plants and trees.

And Huan Hu and many of his men were eating and drinking there.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun vaguely heard bursts of women's sobs, and when he turned his head to look at the sound, he saw that there were about a dozen women, who were huddled in a corner and crying silently.

Some of these women were draped in blankets, while others were unwielded, revealing their white carcasses.

With their bleak appearances, it is not difficult to guess that most of these poor women have been insulted by Huan Hu and his riders.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun shook his head silently, and then slowly stepped forward under the gaze of those thieves with different eyes.

"Huanhu, this king is here as promised!" (To be continued.) )
