After two days of hard work, the four people finally arrived in Qian County, and after paying the entry tax, the four of them entered Qian County.

At this time, Cao Cao was not yet developed, and did not merge Wuping County into Qian County and set up Qian County, so the scale of the city in Qian County was not large at this time, only about 5,000 households. A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qian County was also one of the affected areas, suffered great damage, the city wall was broken in many places, and the city was also full of ruins.

The four of them found a tavern that was said to be a time-honored brand, ordered some wine and food, Xu Huang stuffed a few pennies into the small second-hand and said, "Little brother, I will ask you about someone!" ”

Xiao Er put the copper coin in his arms with a smile on his face, he worked hard for only two hundred dollars a month, barely able to keep himself from hungry, now he has a few more pennies, and this month he can fight the tooth sacrifice again, bent down and said: "Guest officer, you said, we don't dare to say it in other places, but this county is a hundred and ten miles away, and there are really not many small ones who don't know!" ”

"Is there a one called Xujiazhuang in this county?"

"Xujiazhuang?" Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "We have a lot of surnames in the county, I don't know what this Xujiazhuang you are looking for is doing?" ”

"What my young master admires the most is these people with excellent martial arts. Playing to this place, I heard that this Xujiazhuang, there is a very good kung fu person in the village, and he went to visit him, but he didn't know the way of this Xujiazhuang! ”

Xiao Er immediately understood, and said: "Oh, the little one understands, you must be talking about Xujia Village, fifteen miles south of the city, there is a good man in this Xujia Village, the villagers call him 'Tiger Idiot', and his kung fu is very good, everyone says that he is the first good man in our county." A few years ago, when there were yellow scarves, hundreds of yellow scarves wanted to rob this Xujia Village, but this tiger idiot took more than 20 offspring to lose their armor and beat hundreds of yellow scarves, and they never dared to retaliate later. ”

Liu Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the name of "Tiger Idiot", is he finally going to find you? Looking at this charming little er, he felt that the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and motioned to Xu Huang to reward him with another ten cents.

Xiao Er took the money, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and thanked him again and again.

After eating, it was getting late, but Liu Zhang, who was anxious, couldn't sit still and rushed to the south of the city with the three of them. Along the way, I was still silently thinking in my heart: Tiger idiot, my brother is coming to you, don't be like your brother Dian Wei, give me a personal evaporation!

"Childe, something is wrong!" Xu Huang was very vigilant and said.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Huang motioned to them with a look at a group of strong men holding sharp weapons about a mile in front of them, and said, "Childe, look, the group in front of them is all strong and strong, and they don't look like ordinary people!" ”

Man Zhong said: "Could it be the civil defense team organized in the township, although the yellow turban has subsided, but a small number of remnants are still hidden in the mountains, forests and ravines, from time to time to harass the surrounding villages and towns, so many villages and towns have organized people to patrol." ”

Xu Huang said: "Look at their appearance is not like civil defense, you see, they have bows and arrows, guns and spears in their hands, and the civil defense team is generally a stick thing, how can they have such sophisticated weapons?" And these people walk with a murderous look, and the momentum is not at all like civil defense! ”

"Is it a bandit?" Xun Yu Dao.

Xu Huang: "In my opinion, there is no doubt that it should be bandits, looking at this way, it seems that they are going to commit crimes!" ”

Liu Zhang looked at the direction they were heading and said, "It seems that we are going in the same direction as them, so let's follow them and see what they are doing." Slow down, follow them slowly, see what they are trying to do, if you want to loot the nearby villages and towns, we will help them, and we will not let these vicious people succeed! ”

"Yes!" The three of them nodded in response, and then they all slowed down their horses and followed far behind.

Xun You said: "These people are really brave, generally speaking, the bandits act at night, they actually march on the avenue in broad daylight, aren't they afraid of startling the snakes?" If the government knew about it and sent troops to ambush it, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out? ”

He said disdainfully: "The government? Hmph, how could they send troops to suppress the bandits? In these years, people have to die in war, if a soldier dies in battle, the court will not even pay a penny of pension, and those parents and officials have to solve it themselves, how can they take the money in their pockets? Therefore, as long as these bandits do not attack the county seat, they will turn a blind eye. What's more, many places have been a family of soldiers and bandits in many places these years, how to manage it? ”

Xun You listened to Manzhong's words, although he wanted to argue a few words for the Han officials, but he was not a lady who stayed at home, and he knew a lot about the current atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, so he could only sigh.

This group of strong men was not in a hurry to walk, and there were no horses to walk, so they walked slowly for half an hour before walking out for five or six miles. They had already noticed that there were four people behind them, but they didn't suspect anything, or they didn't care about the four people, if it wasn't for the long-term planning of this operation, maybe they would have beaten the rabbit with grass and tied up these four people, looking at each of them a tall horse, the family must be either rich or expensive, and they will definitely get a large ransom if they are tied!

After walking for another half an hour, it was already the time when the lights of thousands of homes were on, and countless dim lights were revealed in the fog in the distance, and there were faint sounds of dogs barking and cows barking, which seemed to be a big village.

When the group of strong men saw the light, their speed slowed down more and more, and the whispering conversation before was completely forbidden, and they slowly pounced on the village like a group of ghosts.

"It looks like they're targeting the village ahead!" Xu Huang said.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "The village is full of my big Han people, and I must not sit idly by and watch their homes and lives being harmed by a group of thieves." Let's stop and wait for them to get away, and then slowly follow us after letting down our guard against us, and then attack them from behind, causing chaos so that the people in the village can take advantage of the chaos to leave! In his previous life, he had watched a lot of documentaries about the Anti-Japanese War, and more of what his grandfather told him about his grandfather's experience on the battlefield, and he understood how tragic the war was for innocent people. He has watched a lot of time-traveling novels and TV before, and he very much hopes that he can also travel back in time, and when he travels to the Anti-Japanese War, he wants to use his understanding of history and science to train elite soldiers, make weapons, kill Japanese invaders, strengthen the country's prestige, and liberate the Japanese people (haha, this is Xiao He's dream). However, everything is unpredictable, one day he really crossed, but it was not the era that he dreamed of. Despite this, he still does not want to see innocent people fall victim to war, and to use his grandfather's mantra, war is the responsibility of soldiers! Whether in his previous life or in this life, he was not a soldier, but he made up his mind to end this troubled era, and he had already regarded all the Han people as his people, he would not retreat at this time, otherwise what would he use to unite people's hearts, and the commander who couldn't even protect his own people, would others still be willing to follow him?

Whether it is Xu Huang, Xun You or Man Chong, they are not indifferent and ruthless people, seeing that a village is about to be slaughtered, they can't bear it in their hearts, after listening to Liu Zhang's words, although they know that there is a huge difference in strength, but the three of them agreed with him without any hesitation. Then the four of them slowed down their horses, and only then did they slowly follow the group of strong men when they were far away.

After walking for a while, the outline of the village could already be faintly seen in the dark twilight.

The strong men were still about 100 zhang away from the village, so they divided their troops into two routes, one of which was about fifty or sixty people, under the cover of the crops in the fields, to the west, and the rest all sat on the ground without saying a word.

Liu Zhang took the lead in dismounting, pulled out the ring head sword on the saddle, and said: "Leave the horse here, and come back and ride away immediately after creating chaos in a while, the difference between the enemy and me is too great, everyone must not fall in love with war, our task is to create a chance for the people in the village to escape, not to annihilate this gang of robbers, the people of the Han Dynasty also need us to keep a useful role for them to end this troubled world!" ”
