Chapter 11 Civil and military discord

The mountain is a den of thieves, but they can't chase it.

Xu Chu swept around, and there were less than thirty people left. Zifan and Gong Su carefully counted the number of people, plus the three of them, they were exactly thirty, and they were all slightly injured.

Most of the boys' clothes were stained with blood, their own, their thieves', their companions'.

Many people sobbed in low voices, they had never experienced such a scene, and it was difficult to contain the grief in their hearts when they woke up from the state of killing red eyes at this moment.

Wang Yan cried the most fiercely, tears and blood flowed uncontrollably, Xu Shu stood beside him, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Chu walked over and patted them on the back, but he didn't know how to comfort them. Things have to be done, Gong Su came over to remind them that if they didn't leave, the thieves might gather the remaining manpower to kill them, after all, they were not many in number, and they were all looked at by the other party.

Wang Yan endured his grief and returned the same way with Xu Chu and others. When he encountered the corpse of the thief, he cut off his head, and cut off nearly 100 heads in total.

There were also comrades who were dying, who were injured by the sharp blade and fell to the ground and struggled to hold on.

Among them is Li Dayan, who blocked the arrows for Wang Yan.

Xu Chu looked at Gong Su, Gong Su shook his head, looking helpless. With the medical level of the late Han Dynasty, it is obviously impossible to save the life, not to mention that there are no people who understand medical skills among the people accompanying them, and there is no medicine.

Wang Yan picked up Li Dayan, but found that Li Dayan's lips moved, and his body seemed to be struggling. He didn't know what his companion was talking about, and he seemed to look at Xu Chu for help.

Xu Chu's eyes were red unconsciously, and he took the short knife from Gong Su's hand and handed it to Wang Yan.

"Don't let him suffer, Brother Wang."

After listening to Xu Chu's words, Wang Yan understood. He held the short knife and burst into tears.

Li squeezed out a smile and looked at him expectantly.

Wang Yan closed his eyes, and the tip of the knife pierced Li Dayan's heart. He couldn't control it anymore and cried loudly.

"General Xu, you must take us to take revenge!"

"Definitely!"

After burying the dead companions, Xu Chu took the lead in worshipping, and then everyone went to Yanling County together.

Yan Ling has been seriously troubled by thieves in recent years, and the original county commander was removed from his post due to poor garrison, and his position has been vacant since then, and the affairs of the county are temporarily led by the county Cheng Pang Shang and the county lieutenant Han Zong.

Pang Shang was born in Nanyang, studied with the elders of the clan in his early years, has a calm personality and is capable of doing things, and has been in the county for many years. In ancient times, county officials, large counties set up orders, small counties set up chiefs, and the two most important deputies of the commander or chief were the county chief and the county lieutenant. Moreover, the status of the county lieutenant is generally higher than that of the county lieutenant.

But in Yanling County, the county lieutenant Han Zong came from a local noble family, and Pang Shang was a foreigner, coupled with years of war, the weight of the military attache has increased, and Han Zong has never taken Pang Shang in his eyes.

Pang Shang also doesn't like Han Zong, because this person is greedy for money and lustful, and often violates the law. He only hated the cowardice and inaction of the previous county magistrate, allowing such petty thieves to occupy a high position.

Civil and military discord is a taboo, Xu Shu stands in Xu Chu's position and considers that only Yanling County has a chance to take advantage of it.

When Xu Chu and the others came to the 'township' near Yanling County, it was still early, and there were still crystal dewdrops on the grass and trees on the roadside.

Although the area outside the county seat is sparsely populated, it is slightly better than when the yellow turban was at its peak. Some villagers who got up early and were greedy for darkness saw Xu Chu's group walking by, their faces were frightened, and they avoided and fled.

"Looks like we're being treated like a thief." Xu Chu laughed at himself, but his jokes did not play a role in enlivening the atmosphere at all, and Xu Shu, Wang Yan and the others were still sinking like water.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded. From a distance, I saw several knights coming quickly, but they did not approach, but kept a distance and watched.

It should be Yan Ling's scout, Xu Chu guessed: "Could it be that the villagers went to the county to report to the police after seeing me waiting."

Xu Shu said: "Presumably, the county got the news, and I was afraid that we were sent by the thieves to explore the horses, so we prepared to defend against the enemy on the one hand, and sent scouts to confirm on the other."

Ancient cities varied in size, and ordinary small cities would not have high-walled gates as fortifications. In the past, when the Yellow Turbans were prosperous, most of the people in Yanling died and ran, or simply joined the Yellow Turban Army, and there was not much left; However, the powerful families in the county were unwilling to give up their fields and homes, so they united and organized manpower to surround the place within a radius of dozens of miles with simple fortifications, and sent additional guards to save Yanling County.

Han Zong rode on the horse, glanced at Pang Shang with disdain from the corner of his eye, and said in his heart: This old horseman has no power to restrain the chicken, what to do to join in this excitement, it makes my eyes unquiet. When the scout came back, Han Zong asked about the situation, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "There are only dozens of people, and it is not expected that they are thieves."

When he saw the figure of Xu Chu and the others, Han Zong had the intention to show off, rode out alone, pointed at the long lance, and said loudly: "I am Han Zong, the county lieutenant of this county, who is coming, report your name quickly!" It's quite a bit of a gun that doesn't kill the nameless.

Xu Chu immediately replied: "Under Xu Chu, I waited for the army under the gate of the prince, and the thieves fought outside the city last night, and asked Han Jun to let me wait in your place to rest for a while."

Han Zong was shocked, and looked carefully at the outfits of Xu Chu and others, where there was a little bit of official and military appearance, so he laughed and said: "The shaft bullied me!" If the prince of the government has a military order to suppress thieves, how can there be no official document! Who are you waiting for, recruit from the truth! ”

"Can Han Jun recognize this thief?" Xu Chu threw a head, which was the leader of the thieves he killed that day.

Han Zong has dealt with the thieves of Lei Gongshan many times, how can he not recognize him. But these people really don't look like officers and soldiers, but more like brave rangers in the countryside.

Besides, he hadn't heard of Xu Chu's name.

Just as he was thinking, he saw many balls suddenly fly in the air, all of which landed in front of his horse, rumbling and rolling.

"Huh!? This ......" Han Zong looked at the rolling of people's heads in the place, and his expression changed greatly.

"This is the head of the Lei Gong Mountain Thief, so Han Jun can trust me and wait?" Xu Chu asked loudly.

Han Zong hadn't spoken yet, but everyone behind him was already cheering. In the past few years, he has been deeply victimized by the thieves in Lei Gong Mountain, or some relatives and friends have died under the knife of the thieves, and they are all happy to hear the thieves give the head.

The county Cheng Pang Shang came on his horse and said, "Han Jun hesitated for something, and welcomed them into the county to settle down first, and then sent someone to confirm it." Han Jun won't let the thief-killer hero sleep in the wilderness, right? Or ......"

Han Zong snorted coldly, "What? ”

Pang Shang also sneered and said, "Or is it not good for Han Jun to take care of these dozens of people?"

"Hehe, Han's responsibilities don't bother with Lao Pang County." Han Zongpi didn't smile, "Since the county lord is fully guaranteed, and Han also has a favor, the lord will go and lead those people into the city." "I can't go back.
