The military camp in the southeast direction, with open fire and canes, swords and guns, although it is late at night, but the vigilance of the guards has not relaxed because of this, the long sword in their hands, the murderous aura, as if the essence is directed at Zhao Fan and Yi Bo.

Yi Bo can climb from a small soldier without the slightest background to the commander of a brigade, in addition to his eyes and senses are extremely sharp, his courage is also quite outstanding, after a short panic, he hurriedly smiled: "Hehe, two brothers, I am the brigade commander of the fifth division and one brigade, I just drank too much wine, and it is convenient to come out." ”

Hearing this, the vigilance of the two patrols also dissipated a lot, Wei Biao was not strict in governing the army, in addition to ordinary soldiers, such as generals such as the commander of the brigade, they would not care if they drank a little wine, so hearing him say this, the former did not doubt it.

The patrol guard brought the lantern in his hand closer, looked at Yi Bo carefully, and found that it was indeed very familiar, so he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, don't go out casually at night, there has been a lot of trouble recently, be careful of causing trouble." ”

There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire barracks, and it was impossible for everyone to know the guards, he just had a vague impression of Yi Bo, and seeing that their clothes were all soldiers' armor, he immediately did not have too many doubts, yawned, and continued to patrol.

During the whole process, Zhao Fan didn't speak, just calmly let the two patrols interrogate, and after they left, Zhao Fan's heart also moved slightly, just now the two people said that there were a lot of troubles recently, but they didn't know what they were referring to.

"Master Shishuai, let's go." Yi Bo also said in a low voice when he saw the two of them walking away.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also put aside the question just now and continued to move forward with Yi Bo. As a brigade commander, Yi Bo also has some status, so he does not live in the barracks with ordinary soldiers, he has his own separate residence.

Handan City is different from Yunzhong City, Yunzhong City belongs to the border fortress, so the army is stationed in the city, and Handan City is the royal capital, located in the middle of Zhao State, so the military camp is stationed in the southeast direction outside the city,

The military camp of Handan City was built next to the moat outside the city, with its back to the city, so that in the event of an enemy attack, it could quickly assemble and enter the city to defend, Zhao Fan and Yi Bo had come to the row of tall wooden houses at this moment.

Criss-crossing here, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, when they arrived here, these patrolling guards all knew Yi Bo, so they didn't come forward to interrogate, Zhao Fan followed Yi Bo like this and walked into a wooden house.

The living conditions here are undoubtedly much better than those of ordinary barracks, and from this, it is obvious that this is where the generals of the barracks live.

"Master Shishuai, let's go in and talk."

Yi Bo was in front, with Zhao Fan pushing the door in, just inside, the five figures suddenly stood up, Zhao Fan did not feel panicked, before coming to the barracks, he had already determined Yi Bo's loyalty to himself, so he did not think that this was an ambush set by Yi Bo.

Sure enough, Zhao Fan knew all the five people in his eyes, and they were the five captains of the brigade who went to Linzi with Zhao Fan, and when he saw them, Zhao Fan also smiled and said, "Haha, brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It seems that Yi Bo summoned these five people over to discuss the matter entrusted by Zhao Fan today.

These five pawn commanders are all tall and strong men, especially the person who is the leader, with a strong body, a fierce face, and a rough smell on his body, Zhao Fan knows that this person's name is Xiao Meng, and he is the strongest person in the brigade in martial arts.

If it weren't for Yi Bo's skillful skills and high seniority in the barracks, maybe this brigade commander would be his Xiao Meng.

Seeing Zhao Fan appear, these captains did not show any enthusiasm, only nodded lightly, saluted a little casually, and said, "I have seen Master Shishuai." ”

Zhao Fan's insight is so keen, when these guards were in Linzi, they were all unusually respectful to themselves, and now they have returned to Handan City for so long, and I don't know if it is due to the passage of time, their prestige has weakened, or there are other reasons, these people don't seem to take themselves too seriously.

Although there was a trace of vigilance in his heart, Zhao Fan was still calm on the surface, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, they are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite, you know that I am very casual." ”

At the beginning, these people's awe of Zhao Fan was not because of how fierce Zhao Fan was, but because of the prestige established by him who dared to kill the general Tian Bai in public, but in fact, Zhao Fan was usually very good at talking, eating and drinking with the soldiers, and there was no fight.

Hearing him say this, the faces of the captains also became a little unnatural, perhaps remembering what happened in Linzi at the beginning.

"What are you doing, why don't you let Master Shi Shuai sit down." Seeing that he was a little embarrassed to be angry, Yi Bo was also busy playing a round, invited Zhao Fan to sit down on the couch, and poured a pot of wine for everyone.

Hearing this, several pawn commanders also hurriedly got up and invited Zhao Fan to sit down on the top seat, among all of them, only the pawn commander named Xiao Meng did not get up, and there seemed to be a touch of contempt in his eyes.

Zhao Fan didn't pay attention to him, and immediately didn't push back, and sat down at the top position.

"Everyone is an old acquaintance, and presumably Yi Bo has already told you about the matter, I came here tonight just to listen to everyone's opinions, if you are willing to help me Zhao Fan, I Zhao Fan will remember your kindness, and there will be a lot of thanks in the future."

After Zhao Fan sat down, he glanced at the six people under him, including Yi Bo, and didn't say any other polite words, and went straight to the point. This matter is different, so Zhao Fan went straight to the point, not wanting to make so many fames.

Hearing this, Yi Bo was also a little stunned, and then began to negotiate, without any prelude, is it before this, what should I say again?

However, his stunned expression was only broken for a moment, and soon, he accepted this beginning calmly, there was really no need to say anything, everything was already logical. Anyway, no matter what happened to Xiao Meng and the others, he Yi Bo believed in his gaze for decades.

In Zhao Fan, he saw a lot of different things, so he chose to support the former, he knew that at his age, it would be difficult to go further in his lifetime, but the appearance of Zhao Fan and the changes in the situation in Zhao Guo now made him find a glimmer of opportunity.

Xiao Meng and the others were also a little surprised, but they soon returned to normal, what Zhao Fan entrusted, they actually already knew, but their opinions were not unified, such as Xiao Meng, he just didn't support the first brigade to defect to Zhao Fan and rebelled against Wei Biao.

Zhao Fan actually expected that things would not be so simple, he was mentally prepared, for example, Xiao Meng, who looked like a thorn, when he was in Linzi, he didn't rely on it, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but now that he is in Handan, he obviously doesn't look at Zhao Fan anymore.

However, although Xiao Meng is brave, he is still affectionate and righteous, so Yi Bo and Zhao Fan did not hide such an important matter from him, because in the more than a month he went to Linzi, how Zhao Fan treated the soldiers of the first brigade, everyone looked at it.

Even if he doesn't take refuge in Zhao Fan, with Xiao Meng's character, at least he won't reveal this news because of this.

"This ...... Zhao Shishuai, we are just a small pawn commander, and when it comes to the big things above, we don't dare to make decisions without permission. At this time, a pawn commander hesitated for a moment, and he also shirked a little.

Zhao Fan looked at this pawn commander, this person he knew, his surname was cowardly, although he was a pawn commander, but he was often ridiculed by his soldiers, and it was indeed a little unrealistic to let him do this with his guts.

However, Zhao Fan did not give up because of this, after all, the return of Yi Bo's brigade had a great effect on him, how could he give up easily.

Zhao Fan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but it was still calm on the surface, Xiao Meng looked at him tightly to see how he answered, but Zhao Fan was not in a hurry, he took a sip of wine, and said unhurriedly: "In the troubled times, if you want to survive, you must take risks and make a choice, otherwise, not only will nothing be achieved, but you may also die because of it."

Now, although the situation is chaotic, but it also represents a great opportunity, in Wei Biao's eyes, your brigade is only 500 people, and it does not have much effect, so it is impossible to give you much benefit, and we are different, we urgently need your help now, in our hands, everyone can play the greatest role, when the time comes, as soon as the matter is completed, those generals under Li Dui will definitely be dismissed, at this time, there will be a large number of vacant positions, including brigade commanders, division commanders, and even generals. You say, when the time comes, who will be arranged by the king of these positions to inherit, of course, the people who helped us at the critical moment. ”

Zhao Fan said, his eyes swept to the other four captains undetectably, his words, of course, were for Xiao Meng and the others, the captain who spoke just now was just a timid guy, he didn't think that his words could have much effect, but Xiao Meng and the others were ambitious people, he understood how much his words could affect them.

For ambitious people like Xiao Meng, it is necessary to lure them with profits, and immediately Zhao Fan did not hesitate to throw out a temptation, even if it is fishing for the moon in the water, or seeing flowers in the fog, at least it is something that can be seen, which can give people some thoughts.

Zhao Fan imagined how great the temptation of the position of brigade commander and division commander was to several commanders, and immediately, a commander secretly swallowed his saliva and hesitated: "When Lord Shimari went to Linzi, he was very sympathetic to the soldiers in my brigade, and we are also willing to take refuge in the commander, but in the hands of Li Xiangguo, he controls tens of thousands of soldiers, you ...... Can you beat it? ”

Zhao Fan knew that what he had just said had an effect, and he immediately sneered: "What Li Dui has raised is an army of no loyalty, an army of no faith, and ours is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, who do you think can win?" ”

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are put forward in this era, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, among the seven virtues, led by loyalty, which can also be seen how much influence the word "loyalty" has on the people of this era.

Immediately, everyone fell silent, even Xiao Meng, who had been sneering and silent, his face was a little ugly, no matter what, Li Dui was a rebel, and in terms of innate conditions, he was more than a step worse than King Huiwen.

"This is not a trivial matter, and we need to discuss it carefully." Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xiao Meng suddenly coughed and said hoarsely.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to support Zhao Fan and King Huiwen, it's just that, in their opinion, the former's strength is too weak and he is not Li Dui's opponent at all, so they naturally don't want to be this bird and send them to death.

At this time, Zhao Fan's face was also cold in vain, he suddenly stood up, looked at Xiao Meng, and said murderously: "What does Chief Xiao mean, don't you know that the current situation is urgent?" Or do you look down on me Zhao Fan and think that I am not Li Dui's opponent? ”

Zhao Fan's sudden change of face made everyone slightly stunned, Xiao Meng's face became even more difficult to see, he didn't expect Zhao Fan to ask for himself, but he was so arrogant, he was not a master to mess with, and immediately sneered: "Although you are a master, but you are a kid who has not reached the crown ceremony, what to do to fight with Li Xiangguo!" ”

It's not the crown ceremony again, every time someone mocks Zhao Fan, this sentence doesn't seem to leave his mouth, but this is indeed Zhao Fan's hard injury, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was cold.

"Fan knows that Xiao is brave, and today, I want to have a good discussion with Xiao Chang."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Fan stepped forward, wrapped in a fist with a fierce force, booming Xiao Meng, everyone was shocked and avoided one after another, Yi Bo was also full of bitterness, didn't Zhao Fan come to persuade them? Why are you still doing it?

Xiao Meng couldn't react, he was smashed on his right shoulder by Zhao Fan's punch, and the fine iron armor was dented by the huge force, Xiao Meng didn't expect Zhao Fan's strength to be so great, but he still pouted and said fiercely: "Master Zhao doesn't think I'm Wei Liang's kid, if you want to win me, go dream." ”

Xiao Meng naturally heard about Zhao Fan's victory over Wei Liang, but he didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, this was just two children playing with each other, and whoever won and who lost was just a joke.

The atmosphere in the wooden house was a little solidified, Zhao Fan looked indifferent, although Xiao Meng admired the former's courage and skill, but it did not mean that he would lose to him in personal martial arts, he immediately raised Yang's fist, and rushed quickly, his right leg crossed a half-arc in the air, and kicked directly towards Zhao Fan's face.

Zhao Fan sneered, raised his left hand like lightning, blocked his kick, and then before Xiao Meng could react, he half-bent his calf and smashed the former's lower abdomen with his tough knee.

Zhao Fan's movements were smooth, in one go, at a glance, he knew that he was a skilled expert, Xiao Meng was obviously a little underestimated, he didn't expect that he poured his whole body strength into a kick, and was actually blocked by Zhao Fan, so that he was held by the former's hands with both hands, his knees pushed against his lower abdomen, and the pain in his heart came, and then he reacted.

Ignoring the strange expressions of the other pawns next to him, Zhao Fan followed up with a punch and directly smashed Xiao Meng to the ground.

plus the five people, including Yi Bo, their faces were full of surprise, Xiao Meng's martial arts were the most powerful in the entire brigade, just because he was not too tactful and a little brave and ruthless, so he was put on the brigade commander by Yi Bo, otherwise, this brigade commander would definitely be his.

Seeing that Xiao Meng was put down by Zhao Fan in just a few moves, the surprise and awe in their hearts naturally needless to say, until now, their impression of Zhao Fan's mind has deepened a lot again.

Not only can he lead troops to fight and lobby the king, but even his own martial arts are so powerful, these pawn commanders have to re-examine the indifferent young man in front of them.

"How?"

Zhao Fan looked coldly at Xiao Meng, who fell to the ground, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Meng was also full of shame, how could he have imagined that he would lose in the hands of such a young man, which was a blow to him, and he immediately said fiercely: "I lost, but it is not so simple that you want us to submit to you." ”

Although he said this in his mouth, Xiao Meng's tone was obviously a lot more relaxed, he was a straightforward and reckless man, and if he could defeat him head-on, at least he could make him recognize you from another angle.

Obviously, although Xiao Meng has a hard mouth, he has actually compromised with Zhao Fan in his heart.

Zhao Fan smiled slightly, he could feel the change in Xiao Meng's tone, he knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot, so he immediately took out a letter talisman and said indifferently: "This is the letter of Ge Xiang, the commander of the second division of your left army, the night before yesterday, he led his troops to attack the garrison of my sixth division, and was killed by me with his troops, and collected more than 2,000 of his soldiers. ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, Yi Bo, Xiao Meng and the others looked blankly at the bronze talisman on several cases, they could recognize that this was indeed the talisman of the commander of the second division, but they did not expect that Ge Xiang was killed by Zhao Fan, and all the soldiers of the second division were recruited.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to a bombshell for their impact, which can easily destroy a division commander, and their awe of Zhao Fan has once again reached a new level.

"Master Shishuai, I am willing to submit to you." Among these pawn commanders, there were many people who saw the opportunity to rudder, and after a moment of consternation, they hurriedly saluted, expressing their willingness to submit to Zhao Fan.

At this moment, they knew how perverted Zhao Fan's energy and ability were, if it continued like this, the battle between Li Dui and King Huiwen, who would kill the deer, really didn't know yet.

At this time, Xiao Meng's complexion was also a little uncertain, from Zhao Fan's initial easy defeat to his rear, and then taking out the letter of the Second Division of the Left Army, this process slowly disintegrated everyone's psychological defense line until the goal was completed.

He could feel how powerful Zhao Fan's wrist was.

"Get up, we'll be brothers from now on." At this time, Zhao Fan also smiled slightly, walked to Xiao Meng's side, stretched out his right hand, and looked at him, with a soft but irresistible deterrence in his eyes.

Xiao Meng sighed, now that so many people have agreed, what can he do?

Immediately, he smiled reluctantly, stretched out his left hand, and was pulled up by Zhao Fan from the ground...... (To be continued.) )
