Chapter 014: The Strange City Guard

After leaving Jinan County, the Zhang family's team entered the territory of Qi County. www.biquge.info At this time, bandits were rampant in Qi County, and Zhang Bao's convoy was attacked more than 20 times in just one day. Fortunately, there were only four cases with more than 1,000 people, and Zhang Bao's side did not suffer any damage at all. For this situation, Zhang Bao felt helpless.

"Bao'er, this is still far from Donglai County, now it's so chaotic, won't Donglai County become a den of thieves?" Zhang Fei shouted to Zhang Bao after driving away a wave of thieves.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Dad, if it weren't for that, how could my son sit in the position of this Donglai Taishou." Although there are many thieves, they have no organization at all, and they are not worth fearing. And once we gain a foothold in Donglai County, these people can become the objects of our conquest, and then become the subjects under our rule, and let them go free for a while. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he involuntarily shook while riding on the horse: "Bao'er, you are just Donglai Taishou, what do you care about so much?" Let's take care of our own borders, and let him go with him. ”

Zhang Bao smiled and said nothing. At this time, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, but Guan Yu was seen galloping towards Zhang Bao from the front of the team.

After Zhang Bao waited for Guan Yu's horse to stop, he hurriedly asked, "Master, is there another situation?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu waved his hand and said with a deep face: "Second brother, Bao'er, haven't you noticed that something is wrong?" ”

"What? What's wrong? Big brother, I didn't find anything! Is there something wrong? Zhang Fei was surprised when he heard this. Zhang Bao also looked at Guan Yu suspiciously.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Didn't you notice that the Yellow Turban Army we encountered in Jinan County was very different from the Yellow Turban Army we encountered in Qi County?" ”

Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao both shook their heads when they heard this.

Seeing this, Guan Yu smiled slightly and continued: "Second brother, Bao'er: If you think about it carefully, is the combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army that attacked us in Jinan County before much stronger than that of Qi County?" ”

Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao both nodded thoughtfully when they heard this.

Guan Yu continued to smile and said, "That's right! Because the Yellow Turban Army that attacked us in Jinan County before was composed of young and strong people, and they were highly disciplined, far more organized than the Yellow Turban Army in Qi County. And the Yellow Turban Army that attacked us in Qi County was both young and old, and it was impossible to retreat with one blow. Do you think there's something wrong with that? ”

Zhang Bao said with a deep face when he heard this: "Master, are you saying that it was not the real Yellow Turban Army that attacked us in Jinan County, and it is very likely that it was pretended to be an official army!" ”

Guan Yu nodded silently.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei said angrily: "What a Jinan Taishou, you dare to beat my Zhang family's idea, big brother, I will take my brothers back to kill them." ”

"Second brother, slow down! Don't be reckless! Even if we conclude that it was done by the officials and soldiers, but we have no evidence, why should we go to someone else Jinan Taishou to settle accounts? At that time, people denied it, and we were the ones who suffered in the end. Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was about to leave, so he hurriedly shouted.

Zhang Fei glared when he heard this: "Big brother, what do you say?" Are we just going to be dumb and lose money? ”

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Bao when he heard this, Guan Yu wanted to hear how Zhang Bao solved the matter.

When Zhang Bao saw Guan Yu looking at him, he understood what Guan Yu meant. smiled at the moment and said, "Dad, master: since we have found out that they are boring, we naturally can't let them go in vain." However, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and even if we do it, it is not now. Everything will be said after we have a firm foothold in Donglai. At that time, we will find another opportunity to settle accounts with Jinan Taishou. ”

Guan Yu nodded when he heard this: "Bao'er is right! Let's write this down now, it's inconvenient to make a big deal about it, and we'll talk about it later. Okay, I'll continue to open the way ahead, and you have to be careful. ”

"Thank you for your concern!"

"Thank you big brother for your concern!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Fei thanked Guan Yu together. Guan Yu nodded, then pulled out his horse and headed to the front of the team. The team slowly moved forward again. Along the way, Zhang Bao always ordered everyone to set up a tent when they were resting, and once the tent was set up, fresh vegetables and food would appear in the tent. Everyone is used to this. Although everyone was curious about how Zhang Bao did it, no one asked.

In this way, ten days later, the convoy finally arrived at the boundary of Donglai County. After arriving at the boundary of Donglai, Zhang Bao felt that it was extremely cordial here. And because Dongnae-gun is close to the sea, there is a hint of the sea even in the breeze. Zhang Bao felt these breaths, and felt very cordial.

However, what made Zhang Bao feel very unhappy was that after arriving at the boundary of Donglai County, there were sixteen waves of large and small Yellow Turban forces attacking their convoy.

Zhang Bao's convoy came to Donglai City, the seat of Donglai County, and Zhang Bao saw that there were only two lazy soldiers standing guard at the city gate. It is better to say that they are standing guard than to make a show, the flow of people coming and going, these two people don't look at it, they just squint and nap against the city gate. Even when such a large-scale convoy as Zhang Bao arrived, the two didn't notice it. There was not a single shadow of a soldier on the city wall.

Guan Yu was ten meters away from the city gate and ordered the convoy to stop. Zhang Bao and Guan Yu were neck and neck at this time.

Zhang Bao sighed after seeing this spectacle: "Master, did you say that these people are not worried about the Yellow Turban Army attacking this Donglai City?" ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu rubbed his beard and said, "They are definitely not worried, and they are very relieved!" Otherwise, in such a chaotic place, how dare you squint your eyes and sleep. ”

Zhang Bao first let out a sigh when he heard this, and then rode to the city gate.

"Hmmm! Hum! Zhang Bao shouted.

Hearing this, the gatekeeper opened his confused eyes and looked at Zhang Bao, and then continued to squint and lean against the city gate to nap.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao immediately became angry: "You two stand up for me!" Ben Taishou took office, how dare you be presumptuous! ”

Zhang Bao thought that after he reported his identity, the two gatekeepers would immediately admit their mistakes. When the two of them heard this, they opened their eyes to him again according to the city gate, and continued to nap.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao shouted angrily: "Come on, take down these two for me!" ”

Li San and the others had already made preparations, and when they heard the sound, they immediately led the four of them to run over, and they took down these two brutal guards very quickly.

"What are you doing, sir? The small one was wronged, and the small one did not offend the adult. After the two city guards were taken, they shouted unyieldingly.

Zhang Bao said angrily when he heard this: "Wronged? I've told you who I am, and you're still acting as if nothing happened. Is this how you treat Taishou on a daily basis? ”

One of the city guards argued: "My lord, what a small wrong! Donglai County has not been too defended for more than two years. And you look so young. You said that you were the Taishou of Donglai County, but the little one didn't believe it at all. ”

"Shut up!" The Zhang family guard scolded loudly.

Zhang Bao sneered when he heard this: "Even if you don't believe that I am too guarded, don't you check the people who come and go?" If the Yellow Turban thieves infiltrate the city of Donglai, can you afford to suffer the sin? ”

The two city guards looked at each other, and one of them sighed, "Your Excellency doesn't know anything. Donglai City is the Xue family's sphere of influence, and the Yellow Turban thieves dare not come here to spread wild. ”

"Let them go." Zhang Bao said to the Zhang family. When Li San heard this, he let go of the two city guards and stood on either side of the two with the other four guards.

After Zhang Bao waited for the city guard to let go of the guard, he dismounted and came to the city guard and said, "What's going on, you tell me in detail." ”

Hearing this, the guard clenched his fists and said, "Lord Hui, we have five major family forces in the entire Donglai County. They are Xue, Han, Zhang, Qi, and Sun. These five families were involved in the grain, salt, herbs, horses, and utensils business. Each family had thousands of private soldiers.

The strength of their family is the order I just introduced. Although the Yellow Turban Thieves are powerful, they also have to look at the faces of the five families. And it is said that those Yellow Turban forces are all working for these five families. So the little ones don't worry about the Yellow Turban thieves sneaking into the city at all. ”

Zhang Bao sneered when she heard this: "Hmph! I see! Then the official will have a good understanding of these five families. Go back and rest, my men will take over here. ”

"It's my lord. Thank you, sir! Small retirement! The two city guards bowed and clasped their fists before fleeing.
