Chapter 306: The Zhen Brothers and Tang Mao
"Give me a little serious, focus, and practice hard!" In a vacant land outside Xiaozhu Township, more than 30 young people from the township gathered together and practiced, and Zheng Zhu shouted loudly beside him.
Accepting the call of the county, Zheng Zhu gathered the strong men in the township for military training during the non-agricultural busy hours. He didn't know much about the art of war, so he only got a few words from his father, so he simply carried out some marching and discipline training.
There are no extra weapons in the township, dozens of people are holding bamboo guns and bamboo swords, and they are working hard. Looking at the "touchable" team in front of him, Zheng Zhu's mind floated again, maybe he had the potential to become a general.
"Youzhi, why do we train so hard, what's the use? Look at other townships, but there is no such thing! While taking a break for a while, a young man younger than Zheng Zhu came to Zheng Zhu's side and muttered, complaining.
He was a young man in the countryside who followed Zheng Zhu before, and he had a close relationship, and he talked to Zheng Zhu more casually. Zheng Zhu became the head of a township, and he also trembled, on weekdays, he was arrogant in the township, with Zheng Zhu as a backer, and those pavilion chiefs did not dare to underestimate him.
Follow Zheng Zhu, you will have a good life. Brother Zhu is about to get married, and if he has the opportunity, he also wants to find a good-looking gentleman.
"The world is in chaos, maybe one day, we may go to the battlefield! Wake me up, y'all! Zheng Zhu glanced at him, looking "unfathomable".
"No!" The young man was a little confused, but as soon as his eyes rolled, he ran to the front of the team and said loudly: "Listen to the orderly, practice hard, in the future, we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" β
Seeing the dog-legged teenager, Zheng Zhu chuckled a few times.
"There is rank, there is rank!" A person rushed from a distance and hurriedly called Zheng Zhu.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a group of strongmen in the east of the township who are attacking a group of merchants."
"Oh?" Zheng Zhu's eyebrows jumped, his eyes flashed with curiosity, and he immediately beckoned: "It's all stopped, go with a certain to see." β
β¦β¦
From Huayin to the west into Guanzhong, all the way to Chang'an, there is an official way. In normal times, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the people live by guarding the fields, and there is very little movement of people. In the midst of the turmoil, there were exiles everywhere.
With the Guanzhong being taken by Liu Yuan, the four stoppers were blocked, and Guanzhong was allowed to enter but not leave, and there were fewer merchants coming and going. In today's situation, those who dare to do business travel are either bold adventurers or have other identities.
The Xia forces did not have a firm grip on the counties and counties, the roads were restless, and there were mountain bandits and strongmen everywhere from time to time, invading the localities.
Xiaozhu Township is located in the east of Zheng County, close to Huayin. Today's deserted road is rarely lively. About 20 or so yellow-skinned, tattered-clothed mountain bandits surrounded the group.
"Listen, we only need money and food, we have no intention of hurting people, and if we dare to resist, don't blame me for waiting for hot hands!" The bandit leader said viciously.
There were already two people lying on the ground, one with a cut neck and a chest cut, drenched in blood, shocking, and unable to live. It is an accompanying escort.
"Two virtuous nephews, what can I do now!" A middle-aged scribe, with some anxiety in his eyes, asked the two young men beside him.
This person Tang Mao, the original Huiji Taishou, is also the father of Tang Ji. Before Sun Jian seized Jiangdong, he naturally lost his official position and fled to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and was besieged from several sides, but also to see that Yuan Shu's prospects were not good, and he resolutely continued to flee west.
Tang Ji was included in the palace by Liu Yuan, and once sent a letter to him, thinking about the chaos of the war and the restlessness everywhere, and simply wanted to go to Chang'an to join his daughter. endured hardships all the way, and when he arrived in Hangu to identify himself, he was put into the customs by Yang Feng.
met Zhen Yan and Zhen Yu, two brothers with the same purpose, and traveled west together.
When Zhen Yan was in charge of Jizhou before, he went to Yecheng and wanted to serve. Seeing Yuan Shao, he also wanted to marry his sister to his son, and wanted to climb a family. Yuan Shao also took a fancy to Zhen's fame and wealth and treated him very well.
It's a pity that Yan Rou later plundered Jizhou, the Zhen family suffered a disaster, the clan was ruined, and the sister who was originally promised to the Yuan family was also captured by Yan Rou and dedicated to Liu Yuan. This Zhen Yan was embarrassed, and Yuan Shao's attitude towards him became cold afterwards.
After staying in Yecheng for a while, he couldn't find a way out, so he only became a small official in Yecheng. This can't satisfy Zhen Yan, he resigned and went back, and when he saw the family that was also in ruins, he wanted to cry without tears. After being depressed for a long time, he "learned" the news of Zhang's and several younger sisters, and all of them entered Liu Yuan's harem.
Although he was ashamed and angry, after discussing with his younger brother Zhen Yu, he made a difficult decision to abandon Wuji and go west to Hu Xia. thinks that with the relationship between the Zhang family and the Zhen Jiang sisters, there should be a better way out in the Xia country, which is short of people. Came with his family, entered Hedong from Bingzhou, and then entered Hongnong, and met Tang Mao.
Seeing that it was the relatives of the beauty of King Xia, the checkpoints of Xia Kingdom all the way were also released, and the group bumped into the customs.
Zhen Yan had a mustache, and her expression was also solemn at this time. The two brothers traveled relatively smoothly along the way, but they never expected that after entering this pass, they would encounter this strongman who robbed the house.
looked at Tang Mao, who was a little anxious, and saw that his eyes couldn't stop looking at the two carts of belongings he was carrying, and he knew in his heart that this old man wanted to make himself bankrupt and prevent disasters. He came here to bring some treasures, which he wanted to give to Liu Yuan, so he dispersed, feeling a little unwilling.
"Big brother, the strongman is here, safety is the best, let's go with them, it's important to save your life!" Seeing Zhen Yan hesitating, Zhen Yu couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.
Zhen Yan gritted his teeth, full of unwillingness, and raised his eyes to look at the bandit leader who was holding a bronze sword in his hand, his eyes were ruthless, and he was a little impatient. sighed heavily, and arched his hand: "As long as you let me wait for the west, these ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise from behind, and a rather arrogant voice floated in: "Where did the thief come from, he dared to do evil in my Xiaozhu Township." β
Soon, Zheng Zhu led people to pounce, murderously, without talking nonsense, and wanted to kill. The thirty or so people rushed behind, causing a panic among the bandits, and the leader was also panicked, seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, such a situation occurred.
Zhen Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the movement behind him, and he hurriedly ordered the five or six people under him to watch the vehicle and watch the development of the situation.
Zheng Zhu looked at these mountain bandits, his eyes were full of greed, these people were to him, but they were merit and rewards. At a glance, he stared at the leader, personally used force, and led the villagers he trained to kill the generals.
In a short fight, more than 20 bandits escaped, and more than a dozen were captured alive. They are not bandits, they are just starving and begging for a living in the mountains, where are the opponents of Zheng Zhu's gang. As for the leader, he was a little fierce, killed and injured two villagers, and was killed by Zheng Zhu's sneak attack from the side, and his head was stabbed.
After the "battlefield" was cleared, Zheng Zhu looked at the Zhen brothers and Tang Mao curiously.
"This is Hongo Arichi!" The people below hurriedly introduced a few people. That expression is, don't come and see it yet.
"Thank you for saving your life!" Zhen Yan stepped forward and saluted with his fists. Tang Mao next to him didn't look down on a mud leg like Zheng Zhu, and just glanced at him.
Briefly recounting, Zheng Zhu was also interested in this person, and when he learned that he had a relationship with King Xia, his eyes were even brighter, and he showed his goodwill diligently.
"Tie these people up and send them to the county seat!" Zheng Zhu waved his hand, looked at Zhen Yan, and took the initiative to say: "If you don't dislike it, you can go to Zheng County with someone!" β
"Thank you below, there will be a good reward in the future!" Seeing this, Zhen Yan naturally accepted it, with this group of people escorting, it should be much safer.
Zheng Zhu smiled, looked at those mountain bandit captives, and silently calculated in his heart how much reward the county lord would give him. The most important thing is that I got to know this nobleman, although I hurt a few brothers, but this trip is not a loss.
