Chapter 5: The First Battle

By the time Ma Xiong led the people to chase him to the city gate, Zhao Fu had already completed his concise declaration of departure, and the group had already gone out of the city. And the crowd gathered at the city gate has not completely dispersed, Ma Xiong sent someone to ask, and sure enough, Zhao Fu left at this city gate (in ancient times, there was not only one city gate in the military city, and Zhao Fu would definitely not choose the closest gate to the outside of the city, so it would take a certain amount of time for Ma Xiong to find Zhao Fu).

"Don't disgrace your father's majesty?" Ma Xiong's face was a little pale, Zhao Fu was raised by him, if there was anything missing, don't say I'm sorry to pick up his old town guard, but he is not comfortable in his heart, "Come on, send a few more pairs of scouts, as soon as there is a movement of the town guard, report it immediately!" ”

"Wait, make sure the town is safe before you report back!"

With a pale face, his subordinates sent a wave of scouts, hoping that Zhao Fu was just stuffy in the city and would not really run to the territory of the Hu people, Ma Xiong prayed secretly.

Then Ma Xiong hurried to Zhao Fu and asked to see Lao Cao's housekeeper.

"Pony? Why are you in such a hurry? Can I help you? "Although he is only a housekeeper, Lao Cao is also a personal soldier who has followed Zhao Zhen to the battlefield, and he is a senior who is deeper than Ma Xiong in terms of qualifications, so although Ma Xiong is already in the position of commander, he is still respectful to Lao Cao's housekeeper.

"Big deal! Young Master Zhao of your family took a group of people to play outside the plug! "In the Zhao Mansion, Ma Xiong no longer needs to be called Zhao Fu Town Guard, the Zhao Mansion is a young master.

"Oh...... I see. Steward Cao was not surprised at all, and waved his hand very indifferently, as if to say, "Don't bother me about this matter, don't you see me retired."

"You... You...... This...... I, I ............" Ma Xiong was so anxious that he couldn't speak, pointing at the old Cao housekeeper but couldn't say a word.

"It's useless to be in a hurry." Old Steward Cao took the tea brought by his grandson Cao Zhongqing and took a sip gently.

"Commander, please have tea." Cao Zhongqing brought another cup of tea to Ma Xiong.

"Oops! Now is not the time for tea! Ma Xiong was so anxious that he kept pacing in place like an ant on a hot pot, how could he have the heart to drink tea.

The old housekeeper Cao smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and led Ma Xiong to a courtyard with the support of Cao Zhongqing, which was full of wood, which was actually firewood for firewood.

"Here, help me, old man, chop this wood." Old Steward Cao pointed to a wooden stake as thick as an adult's waist.

Ma Xiong didn't know what the old Cao steward wanted to do, but he was embarrassed not to comply, so he pulled out the Tang knife he had just obtained and slashed it, even if it was Ma Xiong, it was only half a deep into the wood, he was a little embarrassed, he pulled out the knife and slashed down harder, this time there was still half of half left.

Ma Xiong's face was a little unbearable, and his old face turned red, but he played a trick, "Ouch, what do you mean?" ”

"With such a thick stake, my young master can split it with a knife when he is eight years old." Old Steward Cao said lightly, almost frightened Ma Xiong, it is not very difficult to let Ma Xiong split this stake with a knife, but it also takes all his strength to do it, and Zhao Fu can do it when he is eight years old? Ma Xiong was not convinced.

When Zhao Fu was still eight years old, a branch of the Zhao family wanted to send someone to take over part of the Zhao Mansion's property in Lanting, which was severely opposed by Zhao Fu, but the old Cao housekeeper thought that Zhao Fu was still young, and it would not have much impact on the Zhao Mansion to divide some of those properties for the time being, after all, the power of the clan is strong, and if you want to protect Zhao Fu, then it is not an unacceptable price to give up some things.

So Zhao Fu made a bet in front of the people of the branch and the old Cao housekeeper, and bet on whether he could split a stake as thick as an adult's waist with a knife. Of course, Zhao Fu did some small means, but he also frightened the people of the branch, and from then on, the branch never mentioned the takeover, and the old Cao housekeeper also chose to retire and send his grandson over.

"If you really have this brute force...... With Zhao Fu's ability, it won't be very dangerous. Ma Xiong thought about it and finally calmed down.

"Don't worry, my young master won't do anything you're not sure about." Old Cao, the housekeeper, stroked his beard, "Xiao Feng, they are not as anxious as you." ”

"Oh no, those old guys will definitely laugh at me again when I go back......" Although Ma Xiong was still anxious, he was also a lot calmer, at least he didn't care about the safety of Zhao Fu and the others for the first time.

The town guard mansion did not become depressed because of Zhao Zhenshou's departure, but it was much more lively than usual - when Zhao Zhenshou was still there, these subordinates did not dare to be so presumptuous.

Feng Yu is sorting out the documents in the office, although there is no war, but he still has to check the merchants who have flowed into the city and the documents that keep restoring the stability of the front line to the capital...... Although he is a fierce general of the three armies, he can't read or write at all.

At this time, his door was knocked open, and a big man full of wine got in, and the upper half of the big man's **** was full of large and small scars, and even the corner of his eye and forehead had a knife mark, and the big man was carrying the altar of wine in his right hand.

"Xia Yingyang, what are you doing here?" Feng Yuzheng had a headache about Qin Shangxi's relocation, and he had a headache when he saw this big man come in, "Now is not the time to drink, I want to drink and find Ma Xiong!" ”

"Ma Xiong has rushed to the Zhao Mansion." The big man known as Xia Yingyang was a little dissatisfied, "Isn't it just a plug, what is it like to be so flustered!" ”

"What are you doing in Zhao Mansion...... Wait a minute! You say out the plug? What's out of the stopper? "Xia Yingyang doesn't care about things, Ma Xiong doesn't do anything, Feng Yu is now equivalent to half of the town, big and small things must go through his hands, if there is an army to go out, then he must know.

"Our town guard has gone out with a bunch of recruits." Xia Yingyang took a sip of wine and replied.

"What! You mean Zhao is coming back to the plug?! Feng Yu immediately stood up, and the water cups on the desk were overturned by him.

"What's the panic, isn't it just out of the plug?" Xia Yingyang grinned, "Lao Tzu has been there so many times, isn't it all fine!" ”

"Nonsense!" Feng Yu was so angry that he dropped the brush in his hand, in his opinion, how could Zhao Fuping, who was usually quite honest, drop the chain at this critical moment! Qin Shangxi had just been appointed as the protector of the city, if Zhao Fu ...... Wait a minute! Feng Yu seemed to understand something, if Zhao Fu went to lose his troops and returned, it would be a huge blow to them at the political level...... But if you return victorious......

At that time, there will be no reason for the imperial court to transfer this position of northwest town guard to someone else! Feng Yu immediately calmed down, and after briefly thinking about the pros and cons, he immediately thought about it, and after a while, he walked in front of Xia Yingyang and hugged his wine jar and drank a few sips.

"What's wrong? Do you really dare to drink? Xia Yingyang was a little curious at first, and after a while, he began to howl, "Ouch, you leave me some!" ”

"Good wine!" Feng Yu drank a few sips of wine, and his courage also grew, "Lao Xia, I beg you something!" ”

"Ouch my wine." Xia Yingyang was staring at his half-empty wine jar and felt distressed: "What did you say?" I haven't heard of it! ”

"Lao Xia, I beg you something!" Feng Yu said solemnly again.

Outside the Sai, Zhao Fu and the others had just experienced a small battle, it was a team of scouts, and they were naturally wiped out by Zhao Fu and others, but it was also a major test for the recruits who participated in the actual battle for the first time and killed for the first time. A team of eight scouts, four of them were killed by Zhao Fu, one was killed by dogs, and only three were beaten to death by recruits.

The group was repairing in a small oasis, Zhao Fu washed the body of the knife with spring water, the dog was still vomiting, and the other recruits were in a good state of mind because they did not participate in the direct killing, and they were all excited.

"I said Boss Zhao, are you really killing someone for the first time?" The dog threw up for a while, finally got better, and gnawed a few grasses to slow his stomach.

"No, it's not." Zhao Fu was very calm, "When I was young, someone wanted to kill me, and I thought that I couldn't die, so I killed that person." ”

"Wow!" For the first time, Goudan knew that Zhao Fu still had such a history, and hurriedly asked, "Did you vomit at that time?" ”

"Do you think I'm as useless as you," Zhao Fu laughed at him, "Of course I didn't throw up!" ”

"I don't believe it! I saw that your hands were shaking so badly when you killed the first person! Dogdan's eyes widened in debate.

"I really didn't throw up, I just fainted." Zhao Fu smiled.

"me!" The dog made a grimace at Zhao Fu's back.

To be precise, this is the first time Zhao Fu wielded a butcher's knife, he has been a model student for 18 years, he lives in a society known as a civilized society and a legal society, he was really resistant to killing people at the beginning, he also asked many veterans, and the veterans said, "No way, wow, if you don't kill him, he will kill you." For this reason, Zhao Fu volunteered to go to the old Cao housekeeper to help kill a lot of chickens, many ducks, and many pigs.

The feeling of slaughter is never pleasant, but on the battlefield it is completely the opposite, it is a hunt to the death, the enemy is not a chicken and duck tied to the ground, their knives will not wait for you, their arrows will not tell you about civilization, some are just non-stop killing.

Zhao Fu did a lot of homework for himself and gave a lot of psychological hints, but he didn't expect that his knife could reach the enemy's side so quickly and hit the enemy's vital point so accurately, as if this had become an instinct.

"Report to the town guard! The Huzi brothers found a team of centaurs in front of them rushing towards this oasis! "A scout rushed into this small oasis" There were about two or three hundred people! ”

When the recruits present heard the news, some were happy and some were worried, and some of them were already eager to try - it was too embarrassing for them to not dare to kill people just now; The timid ones have the intention of retreating - there are only about 400 people here, and they are all new soldiers, and they have little chance of winning against an enemy with a similar number of them.

Everyone was waiting for Zhao Fu's decision.

And even Zhao Fu was thinking, he was no problem, and he was half invulnerable with the power of transformation, but these recruits were ......

"Kill! them! At this time, it was the dog who spoke first: "Are we going to go back and laugh at those veterans after we only killed eight people!" We have more people than them, and our weapons are better than theirs, so what is there to be afraid of! ”

"That's right!" Zhao Fu was also determined by the dog's words: "Do it!" ”
