"You'er, we're not late, are we?" Li Chenfeng came to Zhao Xian's side and said breathlessly.

Zhao Yi smiled: "You guys came earlier than I expected, but fortunately you came early, otherwise you wouldn't ......"

"Are you hurt? Are there any wounds elsewhere on the body? Li Chenfeng saw the blood foaming on Zhao Xi's arm and asked eagerly.

"It's okay, a little injury, the wound is a man's medal!" Zhao Di said indifferently.

"Well said!" Su Yun ran over and continued, "Commander Zhao, these are your people?" After speaking, he pointed to the cavalry that was surrounding the remnants of the black knight.

"Yes, my people! It can enter the eyes of Lord Su. Zhao Yi glanced at Su Yun deeply.

"Big brother, we have surrounded the enemy behind, and their war horses have all been captured by us." Zhao Xiong rode over and said.

"Those who surrender will not be killed, those who refuse to surrender will not be killed!"

"Auntie, my cousin won! My cousin won! Xin'er ran into the carriage and said to Zhao's mother and Li'er with a smile on her face.

"Yes! I knew I was going to win! Mother Zhao took a breath of relief and said with a smile.

Xu Qinlian also let go of the white jade hand he was holding, and let out a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face.

More than 500 people carried more than 100 disabled prisoners, and entered the town with the momentum of victory.

"Zhao Xiong, have you counted it? What about my casualties? ”

"Of the 200, 70 were killed, 34 were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded! Only about two dozen people were slightly injured in the reinforcements. Zhao Xiong said softly.

Zhao Yi frowned: "Half of the two hundred people will be wasted!" ”

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Zhao Yi continued: "Two hundred against two hundred, we are new soldiers, and it is good to have such results." After collecting the bodies of the brothers, they were brought back to Wohu Mountain for burial, and the injured were well healed. Count the good battle exploits, and go back to reissue the reward. Do you know who the other person is? ”

Li Lingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "We have caused a lot of trouble this time, and the other party is also a rebel, but it is under the name of Sima Yun, the governor of Yanzhou." ”

It turned out that it was for this talent to be depressed, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "What, are you scared?" What about Sima Yun, the governor of Yanzhou, we still have Su Yun, the left soldier and horse envoy of Yanzhou, if they don't come to retaliate, I still have to find them! Okay, get ready, and you'll be back in a minute! ”

"What about these captives? After the leader of the other party ran away, with the help of that surnamed Su, the rest basically surrendered, and there were more than 100 prisoners. ”

"Why don't you join our team?" Zhao Jie said.

"No! They are not ordinary young men and mountain bandits, their families are still in Yanzhou, and they will not really take refuge in us. Li Lingfeng vetoed this suggestion.

"What then? Since they have surrendered, why can't they be killed again, do we have to raise them? Zhao Mang said angrily.

"What do you mean?" Li Lingfeng asked Zhao Xian, who didn't speak.

"These people are real soldiers, and taking them in will definitely make us a lot stronger."

"But ......"

Zhao Xi interrupted what Li Lingfeng wanted to say: "I know what Brother Li wants to say, I don't want to recruit them here, we will recruit them in Yanzhou." ”

"Yanzhou?" Everyone was stunned.

"I'll talk about this when I go back to Crouching Tiger Village, buy some carriages in the town, and bring everyone back."

After bandaging the wounded soldiers in Lijiazhen, he led everyone to Wohu Mountain, fortunately, there were enough horses, adults rode horses, and children were also pulled by flatbed carriages.

Listening to the crying of the people who lost their families, Zhao Xian, like the rest of the soldiers, couldn't help but think of his father, and then thought of his brothers in his previous life, and for a while he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to take these people.

"Brother Xi, you're injured!" A crisp voice sounded beside Zhao Xian, interrupting Zhao Xuan's contemplation. Zhao Yi turned his head to see that the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Li Xin'er was lying on the window and looking at her arm worriedly.

"Oh, it's scratched a little!"

"Are you hungry?"

Zhao Yi looked at the twelve-year-old girl, her mood relaxed a lot, she put on a very strong posture, and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt, it's like falling down." ”

"You're in!" Mother Zhao heard Xin'er's words and said in the car.

Zhao Yi got off the horse, entered the car, saw the worried faces of his mother and Li'er, and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, it's just that your arm is cut a little, it's not a big deal." ”

"You, why are you so careless!" Mother Zhao took Zhao Yan's arm and whispered.

"Li'er, the cloak you gave me has also been scratched, and it seems that I need to make up for it before I can use it." Zhao Xi hurriedly diverted the topic, took out the torn red cloak and said.

Xu Qinlian took the cloak and whispered with a red face: "If it's broken, it's broken, I'll make you another one." ”

Look

The group slowly soared for nearly two hours and finally arrived at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain, Zhao Yi asked the careful Zhao Fei to arrange for the soldiers and people who came to settle down in the annex, and then took everyone into the cottage.

"I didn't expect you guys to do well in the past ten days." Zhao Yi looked at the wall ten meters high and three meters wide and the cottage that had changed greatly, and said happily.

"But the money is almost spent!" Li Chenfeng smiled bitterly.

"It doesn't matter, people are more important than money, you can earn it again if you don't have money, and if you don't have people, you won't be at all."

After settling his mother, Zhao Yi came to the meeting hall to let everyone properly arrange the follow-up matters, and asked everyone to summarize the experience of this battle and strictly train the soldiers.

After everyone left, Zhao Yi left Zhao Xiong, Li Chenfeng, and Li Lingfeng and invited Su Yun.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is Lord Su Yunsu, the left soldier and horse envoy of Yanzhou!"

"What? Yanzhou's left soldiers and horses envoy Su Yun? ”

"Yes! That's why this incident! ”

"No wonder, no wonder those people put down their weapons and surrendered in a few words, so that's the case." Li Lingfeng suddenly realized.

Su Yun said: "I apologize for the trouble caused to you. I don't know if Commander Zhao called me, what's the matter? ”

Zhao Yi smiled indifferently and said, "This is going to ask Master Su himself?" ”

"Ask me?" Su Yun said puzzled.

"Yes, doesn't Lord Su have something to ask me to help with?"

"Oh? Why did Commander Zhao say that? ”

"Since Master Su told me in detail about his affairs, doesn't he want to cooperate with me? Otherwise, the small township leaders are not worthy of being told in such detail by adults, I only asked the identity of Lord Su, but Lord Su said everything. Zhao Xi still replied plainly.

Su Yun laughed and said, "Commander Zhao is really smart, I originally planned to talk to you after you have finished something, but I didn't expect you to find me first?" ”

"Since the adult explained the matter in such detail, I know that the adult intends to cooperate with me, I wonder why Lord Su values me?"

Su Yun said: "First, I see that your soldiers are indeed not ordinary; Second, you are very smart, and now it seems that you are even smarter, and only smart people can survive in the whirlpool. Third, I didn't have a choice. Our cooperation is very beneficial to you and me, I don't know what Commander Zhao wants? ”

"Okay, let's talk about how to cooperate?"

"Take your people and enter Yanzhou City with me."

Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Then I haven't been suppressed by the governor of Yanzhou, what identity are we?" ”

"The rebels, the rebels under my name, after entering the city, I will provide you with the military supplies you need, and even the identity of the government soldiers."

Zhao Yi said: "I want to know, what is this righteous army in the whole Youzhou?" Is the imperial court really not afraid that this righteous army will become bigger? ”

Su Yun smiled bitterly: "The entire northern and eastern parts of Youzhou are counted as places that are about to be given up by the imperial court, there are Hulu in the north and border troops in the south, what can the righteous army do?" Most of the current rebels are already the private soldiers of officials in various places, and they only serve their own interests. Compared to the Central Plains, Youzhou is nothing. You go back to the city with me, Sima Yun won't know what I'm doing, unless he is ready to rebel now, I think as long as he raises the banner of rebellion, there won't be many soldiers under his command to follow. ”

"It's okay to cooperate, I want weapons, armor, and bows, and I have autonomy. As for the rest, I'll talk about it when the time comes. Zhao Xi said affirmatively.

Su Yun nodded and said, "Yes, but take your time like this, the weapon is easy to say, but the armor and bow and crossbow are not easy to get." Still, there will definitely be. ”

"Okay, five days later, I'll follow you to Yanzhou." Zhao Di decided.

After Su Yun left, Li Chenfeng and the three of them didn't quite understand what Zhao Yi and Su Yun meant, and Zhao Yi explained what he encountered on the road.

"My lord, this is an opportunity, but there are also many dangers." Li Lingfeng thought for a while and said.

"Then what about this Crouching Tiger Mountain?" Zhao Xiong asked.

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "This Crouching Tiger Mountain is our base camp, naturally we have to keep it, this is only more than two hundred miles away from Yanzhou City, and it is also very convenient to come and go, so it can be regarded as leaving a back road for us, who knows what will happen after the past?" ”

"And who's left behind?" Zhao Xiong asked.

"This ......" Zhao Yi also had a hard time deciding, to go to Yanzhou, everyone wanted to go, that was Fucheng.

"I'd better stay, I'm familiar with this place, and I've been to Yanzhou a few times, so let the young people go this time." Li Chenfeng laughed.

"That's okay, Uncle Li stays behind, when we settle down over there, let everyone go, it's okay for a few days, the soldiers have a good run-in, five days later, I will bring three hundred people, and the rest will stay here." At the same time, Uncle Li also continued to absorb the homeless and recruit new soldiers. Zhao Yi said with a final word.

"Three hundred, isn't it too little, we have seven or eight hundred people here now, and we can continue to recruit new people at any time, so you can bring more, so as not to suffer Yanzhou." Listening to Zhao Di's words, Li Chenfeng hurriedly said.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, there is not much difference between bringing three hundred and five hundred, and I also have to guard against this Su Yun, so as not to be sold by him when I get it. Three days later, I cleaned up the gang of bandits in the east twenty miles, so that there were people and the cottage was safe. ”

"You mean Boar Ridge? Are there more than 800 people there? We're going to do it, aren't we? Li Lingfeng was also taken aback by Zhao Xi's thoughts.

Zhao Xi sneered: "Isn't this the flag of Lord Su, why don't you use it?" I heard that the leader of the wild boar mountain bandits is not bad, and he only robs large households without harming the people, so let's recruit him too. ”
