Chapter 138: Forced Conscription
At this moment, all those soldiers were killed, and those hunters also came back to their senses, they saw that Zhao Fan and others were extremely fierce, and they were many times more powerful than those soldiers just now, and they didn't know who they were, so they naturally panicked in their hearts, but they suddenly saw Gongsun Long, and there was also a touch of joy on their faces.
Hearing this, Zhao Fan also turned his gaze to Gongsun Long, feeling his doubts, Gongsun Long also smiled and said: "This is a nearby hunter, I have been to their village to spend the night before, so they have some impressions of me." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhao Fan also nodded.
Gongsun Long pulled up the sleeves of his robe and walked forward with a smile to talk to the hunters, while Zhao Fan ordered the soldiers to dispose of the corpses on the ground, so as not to give clues. These soldiers were ordered by Wei Biao and Li Dui, and although Zhao Fan didn't know why the former wanted to deal with these hunters, he knew that there must be nothing good.
Immediately, he also walked in front of the group of hunters.
Those Orions confirmed that the person who came was Gongsun Long, and their hearts were also a lot more relaxed, they all knew that Gongsun Long was the disciple of Pingyuan Jun and a supporter of King Zhao, so they were naturally relieved in their hearts.
"Guys, why are these soldiers chasing you?" Zhao Fan stepped forward and asked the hunters.
Hearing this, several hunters also showed a touch of resentment on their faces, and they were silent for a moment, and said: "During this time, Li Dui continued to recruit soldiers in the villages near Handan City, whether it was a child in his teens or an old man in his fifties or sixties, as long as he was not sick or sick, and he could use weapons, he would all be forcibly conscripted into the army, and he would join Wei Biao's left army, not under the control of King Zhao. ”
"The hunters in our area are all people who have received the favor of the master father and the king, so it is naturally impossible for Li Dui, a thief, to do anything. In order to avoid the conscription of those soldiers, the hunters in our neighborhood have temporarily moved to live in the nearby mountains, our family, we were about to move out today, but I didn't expect to meet Li Dui's soldiers, fortunately, several adults helped in time, otherwise, I am afraid of ......" Another man said, speaking of the back, his face was also a little gloomy.
As soon as the words of these hunters came out, Zhao Fan and Gongsun Long were immediately taken aback, Li Dui's implication of such a large-scale conscription was already obvious, this was to prepare for the mutiny?
Gongsun Long didn't know about this before, so it can be seen that Li Dui's work was quite hidden, but he didn't expect that this matter would be bumped into by Zhao Fan and others.
"When did this happen, and how many soldiers did Li Dui recruit?" After pondering for a moment, Zhao Fan also said with a solemn face.
One of the hunters thought for a moment and said, "It was during this time that we didn't know about other places, but none of the hunters in our area were forcibly conscripted into the army because they moved out in time." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Fan also nodded, in this way, Li Dui doesn't seem to have recruited many people, so in this way, he can breathe a sigh of relief. However, this matter is very important, and he must rush back to Handan tomorrow to discuss this matter with King Zhao and others.
At this moment, those soldiers had already disposed of the corpses on the ground, and some of the blood stains were soon covered by the falling goose feather snow due to the heavy wind and snow. After the matter is dealt with, and it is late at night at the moment, Zhao Fan is also taking those hunters to the camp, let them live in the igloo in the camp tonight.
A full moon, suspended and high in the sky, the ice and snow on the ground and the bright moon in the sky reflect each other, although it is late at night, but it does not seem dark.
From time to time, there was the cry of a wild wolf in the distance, and when he walked on the road, Zhao Fan could still see a little green light in the distance from time to time, which was the eyes of a wild wolf. After Zhao Fan and the others left the valley, it didn't take long for the wolves to come looking for the smell, they smelled the bloody smell here, and it didn't take long to find the corpses of the soldiers killed by Zhao Fan and the others, and immediately the wolves also gnawed all the corpses cleanly, leaving not a single bone.
At this moment, the footprints left by Zhao Fan and the others when they came have long been covered by the heavy snow, fortunately, Xiao Jin is the overlord of the northern sky, and he has a natural sensitivity to things like terrain routes, and under its leadership, Zhao Fan and the others also returned to the camp accurately.
After returning to the camp, they saw the igloos, which immediately startled those hunters, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and they were also amazed immediately, and after learning that it was Zhao Fan who came up with the method, they couldn't help but admire the young man in front of them.
Zhao Fan asked the soldiers to vacate a few igloos, and after placing these hunters in, he also came to the largest igloo, and then called Xu Jia, Gongsun Long and others over to discuss what happened tonight.
"You also know the matter, this is the case, now Li Dui is recruiting a large number of soldiers in the villages near Handan, and his purpose is obvious, that is, to prepare for a rebellion." Zhao Fan was wearing a big hat, stepping on long boots, and said with a solemn face.
This matter is indeed very important, every day late, Li Dui may recruit more soldiers, and his strength will be stronger, so Zhao Fan also wants to find a solution as soon as possible.
"Lvshuai Zhao is right, other villages, but not necessarily have the support of these hunters in this area for the king, we have to find a way to create some obstacles for Li Dui's recruitment, we can't let him succeed so easily." At this time, Gongsun Long was also the same way.
Everyone nodded, everyone didn't expect Li Dui to be recruiting soldiers everywhere, which was indeed beyond their expectations. In each city, under normal circumstances, in addition to the fixed standing army, only when the war is launched, soldiers will be recruited from the people, but I didn't expect that for his own selfishness, Li Dui would actually recruit soldiers without authorization.
In this way, the battle between King Zhao and Li Dui for power, whether it is won or lost, will cause serious losses to Zhao State, and even greatly damage its vitality.
Zhao Fan pondered for a long time, and said: "This way, Mr. Gongsun, it is clear that you and Xu Jia will lead a hundred bearded sword knights to follow those hunters to the place where they live, and during this time, you will live with those hunters, and find a way to do ideological work with those hunters on the residents near Handan, and draw these people into our hands." ”
Gongsun Long has a bit of prestige in the hearts of these hunters, and it is best to let him do this, as long as he can make the nearby residents support King Zhao, then Li Dui's chances of success are much smaller.
Of course, this work is very difficult, and it is necessary to know how to give both grace and power, and make the nearby residents obey in their hearts.
"Zhao Lvshuai's idea is good, then I won't go back to Handan for the time being, and I will definitely try my best to convince the residents in this vicinity." Hearing this, Gongsun Long also applauded, this method is indeed very good.
Zhao Fan said worriedly: "However, in this case, Mr. Gongsun and Xu Jia, the two of you must pay attention to safety and find out the situation, isn't Li Dui also recruiting?" Therefore, you have to take advantage of the absence of Li Dui's generals to find a way to convince those residents. Success or failure, the safety of both of you is the most important thing, and you must not put yourself at risk. ”
Li Dui is now slowly tearing up his face with King Zhao, so if the former discovers Zhao Fan's plan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything out of the ordinary.
After the matter was settled, everyone also left the igloo and returned to their place of residence to rest.
Zhao Fan was lying alone in the igloo, but he couldn't sleep, thinking of tonight's incident, his heart was a little worried, Li Du is so arrogant now, he must not be a virtuous monarch to sit on the throne, Zhao Fan will never watch this kind of thing happen.
He sat up from the ground, muttered for a moment, and suddenly said to the soldiers guarding outside, "Someone, go and help me bring Yi Bo over." ”
