In the cold winter season, the grass on the ground withers. Although the horses bowed their heads, they really didn't have much to eat. The group of soldiers surnamed Han dismounted and squatted on the side of the road eating cold and coarse dry food.

These people are so confident that they can rest on this road without letting go of the scout guard. It's just that it's peaceful here, and the battles are on the front line, so naturally they have relaxed their vigilance.

Zhao Yun's personal soldiers, called Zhang Ding, came up in this situation. He didn't wear any armor on his body, and the heavy guys had already taken off when they set off. Now it looks like a passing farmer with a bitter face.

Those soldiers who were eating dry food suddenly became vigilant, why didn't they go to the village and the back of the store, and a person suddenly appeared?

"What for?"

"General, let me ask for directions......

Zhang Ding's tongue was trembling when he spoke, and his psychological quality was obviously a mess. But it was this nervousness that made these soldiers let down their vigilance.

"When ordinary people saw our troops, they would have fled a long time ago. How dare you come up and ask for directions? Aren't you afraid of being killed by us? ”

It was a young man with a scar on his face who spoke, and as he spoke, he showed the scabbard on his waist and patted it with his hand, scaring Zhang Ding.

Zhang Ding shuddered and said, "Ladies and gentlemen...... I'm a good person. Looking at your banner, could it be the troops of General Han Juzi Han? General Han is also a good person...... I'm sure you won't arrest people. ”

The captives, who were tied together like lobsters, looked up and looked at him with resentment as if they were aliens.

The soldiers themselves laughed. They avoided the large army along the way, took small roads, grabbed heads and looted scattered villages, and as long as they met young and strong, they were all arrested as remnants of Youzhou and used as military merits. Now that someone has come up to sing the praises of virtue, even they themselves are blushing.

"Haha, that's easy to say. By the way, how do you know that we are General Han Juzi's team? You're a spy......"

Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun checked in the woods in the distance, only to see Zhang Ding walking over, exchanging a few words with each other, and then being pressed to the ground by them...... Tied? What's going on?

Zhao Yun lifted the silver gun in his hand and said, "Maybe it's exposed, do you want me to go up and save people?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "No, there are many of them, let's observe them first." ”

I saw that Zhang Ding wanted to resist, but he was punched in the stomach, and then he was honestly tied to the rope and treated the prisoners the same.

Yuan Xi asked, "What do you say they want to do?" If you want to make military merits, you only need the head of a dead man, so why tie up everyone, and it costs food to feed so many captives. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Maybe you want to catch Ding." When his men and horses are growing, Han Caidu can be a miscellaneous general. ”

This is also a very distinctive thing in this era, that is, forced conscription, with a trilogy, you can become big. It's easy to understand when you think about it, as princes, Yuan Shaogong, Sun Zan and others, except for a small number of troops directly under themselves, most of them rely on their generals to recruit soldiers by themselves, and even the children of some local wealthy families will send private soldiers, and they can be knighted if they make meritorious contributions. At this time, whoever has more soldiers has the right to speak. Just like when Dong Zhuo suppressed the Qiang people in Xiliang with one hand, recruited the Qiang people with the other, became big on both sides, claimed the king and hegemony, and finally didn't even pay attention to the court.

Looking at the team in front of him, Yuan Xi sighed: "If it's really Han Juzi's troops, then this guy is quite smart." ”

The day before, he had just set up the People's Army, which could be regarded as a horse race, but unlike Han Juzi, he wanted seeds, good seeds. First-rate people can bring out first-rate people, and second-rate people can only bring out third-rate people. Therefore, from the elite troops such as the first battalion, the elite will be selected. Under careful selection, there are less than 100 people. On the other hand, the string of captives on the other side is a little hungry.

"Zhang Ding was tied up and couldn't send back the message, so he had to send another one."

"Send again? Aren't you afraid that they will be suspicious? ”

"Throw stones first and ask for directions. See how they react. ”

The scar-faced young man had just tied Zhang Ding's hand and whispered a few words to the captives around him, and only then did he return to his position proudly when these people lowered their heads unwillingly.

At this time, another old-fashioned man stepped forward again.

"Uh...... This little general, I also ask for directions......"

", what does 'too' mean? Tie me up! ”

When he asked the passer-by, he ran away, and the nearby soldiers rushed out one after another, and in a few steps he was pushed to the ground. After a fierce struggle, he grabbed it back like a chicken and tied it up with Zhang Ding just now.

Zhang Ding saw that the Scarface soldier was walking away, so he said softly: "Lin Heizi, why are you here too?" ”

Lin Heizi cried and said, "I was sent by the second son, and I was scared to death......

He was shocked, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "The second son said, let us join forces inside and outside when the time comes, do you know what this means?" ”

Zhang Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know." I saw that I had just eaten the wheat bread. If we can give food here, we can be prisoners here......"

In the forest a hundred meters away, Yuan Xi punched the trunk of the tree and said, "Isn't it enough for them to be suspicious of two people who asked for directions one after another?" These soldiers are big enough that they won't report suspicious situations? He wanted to see if the general who led the other party was Han Juzi, but the other party did not show up for a long time.

Zhao Yun said: "Otherwise, I will go in person." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, 'throwing stones to ask for directions' is not good, so I have to 'scare the snake'." ”

When Zhao Yun stepped forward, the young man with a scar on his face finally became suspicious and took the initiative to stand up and say, "Who are you?" Asking for directions again? ”

Zhao Yun stood ten meters away from him, and arched his hand: "No, I'm here to please people." ”

"Whom are you pleased?"

"Just two people who asked for directions, and three people who rode horses, all of them were our people."

The young man finally became solemn, and beckoned to his nearby companions, who glanced at each other, and one of them left his position and walked towards the crowd.

Not long after, a tall middle-aged man with a beard came out, which may be considered a long one. The man said to Zhao Yun: "Which unit are you from?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "We are the second son's troops. ”

The man's eyes rolled and he said, "Second son? Which second son? ”

Zhao Yundao: "Yuan Xi, Yuan Ergongzi." ”

The man called Scarface, and the two whispered before Scarface stepped into the group.

After a while, a short, lewd guy showed up. Yuan Xi looked at it from a distance, and it was really Han Juzi.

Han Juzi saw that it was Zhao Yun, and his eyes almost burst into flames. Last time, it was this man who threw himself off his horse and made a fool of himself in front of his people. When the enemy met at this time, his eyes were extremely red, and he pointed at Zhao Yun and said, "Come on, tie him up for me!" ”

"Wait!" Zhao Yun took a step back and said, "I'm a subordinate of the second son, Han Qidu, it's not appropriate for you to arrest people like this." ”

Han Juzi said: "How can the second son appear here? This man is clearly a spy, tie me up, and I will interrogate him personally. ”

Zhao Yundao: "Han Juzi! You harassed the people along the way, arrested Ding in private, and arrested our people. If you return people, that's okay to say. If you still insist on going your own way, be careful that we report to Yuan Gong. ”

Han Juzi's small eyes blinked, and he yelled: "Catch it!" ”

He was recognized at this time, and the other party was Zhao Yun, which was also a personal grudge, and he was ready to let it go after all.

Several soldiers swarmed out, splitting into left and right directions and rushing towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took two steps back, he couldn't turn around and run, one was that the other party had a horse, and he couldn't run, and the other was that his back was exposed, and he was easily shot by arrows.

He kicked a creep rushing up on the left, knocking the man to the ground, and then the right side was blocked by someone.

Yuan Xi in the distance immediately stood up.

"Okay, Han Juzi, even my people dare to arrest it."
