Chapter 10: Killing the Lieutenant in Anger
Zhao Jiajun was an expert in night fighting, and none of the bandits ran away.
This time, Zhao Yun understood the ruthlessness of the Zhao family, and after killing Lao Tzu, the descendants cut down the grass and eradicated the roots.
The women who killed the thief identified each other, and unless they really had a bitter hatred for the thief, they saved their lives.
Zhao Yun will not be a bad person, kill other people's fathers to raise the children of the family, at least for the time being, the Zhao family army is weak and has to guard against anyone's counterattack.
Xu Shu was the first time he saw the new lord kill someone, and he had always thought that the other party was also outstanding.
Following the world's famous and strong martial arts people, he was even more eager, wishing that he would not have night blindness and kill the enemy with his own hands.
There is not much food stored in the cottage, and the gold, silver and jewelry are converted into almost 10,000 gold.
No wonder there is a saying that the gold belt of murder and arson, an inconspicuous cottage can have such a big harvest, which is equivalent to half a month's profit of the flavor of Yan Zhao in the middle county town.
The Zhao family's waist pole is still very thin, and it is the first time to fight a bandit with the name of a yellow scarf.
All the captives, including the peasant households under the mountain, must be escorted back to Yingchuan Linying County, and escorted by the Zhao family caravan to Zhending.
Zhao Jiajun was fighting across the border for the first time, and had to stop at Menghugang, send out carrier pigeons, and wait for Linying.
In the meantime, some of the thieves who were sent out came back and directly beheaded with a knife.
After waiting for more than two days, the talent of the Zhao family on the other side of Linying came over, and he didn't expect that the leader was Zhao Qingquan, the big shopkeeper of Yingchuan, who was the younger brother of Zhao Qinghua, Zhao Yun's housekeeper.
This time, Zhao Qingquan gathered nearly 200 people, one person and two horses.
There is no way, I don't want to leak the news, so I can only wrap these people in the caravan, get on the ship and go a little farther away from the land, which is also a lot safer.
Fortunately, the road is very desolate, and the Zhao family's ship has been prepared in Rushui.
Zhao Yun studied the replacement of ancient and modern place names and found that Henan was the worst suffered.
In ancient times, it was called Ningyi, and later it was called Xinxiang; In ancient times, it was called Yingcheng, and later it was called Pingdingshan.
In ancient times, it was called Huaizhou, and later it was called Jiaozuo; In ancient times, it was called Yingchuan, and later it was called Dengfeng.
In ancient times, it was called Guide, and later it was called Shangqiu; In ancient times, it was called Runan, and after liberation, it was called Zhumadian!
The elegant and atmospheric place name has been transformed into a new countryside.
The area of Zhumadian in the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to Cai Guo.
Cai is a small country, the biggest feature is that it is easy to bully, and he was captured alive by his neighbor Chu Guo once and destroyed the country twice.
The name Runan began in the second year of Emperor Gao of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the south of Rushui, Runan County was built, and the county was governed in Shangcai, that is, near Shangcai County, Zhumadian City, the capital of the former sad Cai State and Zhumadian City after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gate valve clan was formed, and people liked to flaunt their ancestral home and family to show off their origins.
The Runan Yuan clan was a famous family at this time, and five of the four generations were in the position of the third duke, known as the fourth and third dukes.
Yuan Shao is the descendant of this family, and when he introduces himself, he usually says that he is the Yuan family of Runan, which teaches people to be in awe.
If he said that Zhumadian Yuan's, others would probably ask him if he sold thirteen incense.
During the time of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Runan County led 37 counties, and the county was moved to Pingyu, and after 2,000 years, Pingyu County was in the northern part of the border of Sheqiao Village.
The location of the county is the largest water wharf by the Huai River, and it is not comparable to Shouchun and Guangling in the middle and lower reaches.
After Menghugang, close to the central area of Runan County, it became densely populated, and there was no longer the desolate scene before.
However, Zhao Jiajun still found that the peasants' lives were very miserable, and most of them were in rags.
Of course, it is also possible that they are working without wearing the clothes of the visitors.
The weather was hot, and many men took off their shirts and worked in the fields, and their bodies were skinny.
Many of the Zhao family's tribes fled the famine to beg for food, and some of them were once bandits. All in all, everyone is from a peasant background.
The wealth of Zhending and the poverty of Runan form a strong contrast, and the sense of belonging to the Zhao family is closer.
Xu Shu's sigh was the deepest, every morning, except for some people in the Zhao family, the rest were practicing the guidance technique.
That large number of people, the scene of clouds steaming and shading made him inexplicably moved, and he could even cultivate the basic parts.
Personally, he felt that he was at a much higher level than these people, and he would definitely be able to obtain the Channeling Technique.
Zhao Yun originally thought that the ranger must have his own channeling technique, whether it was good or bad, when he reached a certain age, he would be replaced, and maybe the two exercises would be mutually exclusive.
Later, I learned that Xu Shu didn't have it, and it was also habitual thinking, and almost everyone in the Zhao family had a copy from the head of the family to the servants.
Naturally, Zhao Yun is not a stingy person, so he found a book to practice his whole body and gave it to him.
The Zhao family's guidance technique is divided into categories, and the general sergeants are mainly based on strong arm strength.
Xu Shu doesn't have many opportunities to fight, and physical fitness is the most suitable.
The journey was all by bike, although the road was not very good, and two days later, the group arrived in Runan.
As a county seat, Runan's defense is several grades worse than that of Yingchuan.
The height of the Yangzhai city wall should be about ten meters, and the highest point here is only about seven meters.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Yun was complaining about the measurement unit of the ancients at any time, which was more than ten zhang high.
Take the city wall as an example, one meter is equal to three feet, seven meters is twenty-one feet, and it is two feet and one.
The young horses in the south, the horse team that suddenly appeared, neat and orderly, made the Runan people very panicked, could it be that the angel arrived?
The Yuan family is the largest family in the local area, that is, the Yuan family occasionally comes back to worship their ancestors, plus the horses pulling the cart, there will not be more than one or twenty horses.
Walking outside, everyone knows how to train horses.
I saw two horses in a row, one horse with someone on it, and the other horse carrying luggage, walking side by side.
Those who have a heart begin to count to see how many horses there are.
At the front is Zhao Yun, with a dark cloak, a hero scarf on his head, and a slightly immature face that looks mighty.
He was followed by Xu Shu, who was a smart man after all, and he already had some experience in taming horses.
Maybe it's almost like a gallop, but it's okay to travel on a flat road.
With the contents of the sword box on his back, he has long been replaced with shotguns. A broken sword that was once used as a decoration, and the local shopkeeper found a stainless steel long sword when he was in Shangcai.
A flying pigeon has already sent a message to him, and the big shopkeeper of the Zhao family in the local area has been sending a small servant to guard the north gate these days.
Seeing such a large group of riders, I dared to ask, and when I heard that it was from the Zhao family, I was not only overjoyed, but also rushed over to report the news.
But two legs can outrun four legs like this? Zhao Long asked him to lead the way.
The little guy was not brought over from Zhending, Zhao Qingwu, the big shopkeeper of Runan, was selected from the crowd fleeing the famine, and voluntarily changed his surname to Zhao and became Zhao Qingwu's godson Zhao Defa.
The young man is very clever, but he has seen too little of the world, and he has never been out of Runan, so he can't even ride a horse.
Although Zhao Yun has repeatedly emphasized that anyone who enters the Zhao family can teach the art of horse training.
Zhao Qingwu's brain is relatively rigid, thinking that the only way to bring people back to the family is to learn again.
Runan County is divided into an outer city and an inner city, the inner city is a place for offices, and the outer city is a place for residents to gather and merchants to do business.
Zhao Jiayan Zhao flavor is connected with other Zhao commercial plates, facing the west gate of the inner city.
Unexpectedly, the walls of the inner city were about two feet higher than the outer city, but there were no patrols in sight.
Under the guidance of the people brought by Zhao Qingwu, everyone dispersed to wash up and relieve the fatigue caused by long-term riding.
"Brother Wu, sit!" On the second floor of Yan Zhao's flavor, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu chatted there.
"In front of the third prince, how can there be a reason for Qingwu to sit." Zhao Qingwu is such a person, following the rules.
"You, you," Zhao Yun didn't say much, he knew what kind of temper this person was: "What are these people going to the inner city for?" ”
At the west gate of the inner city, from time to time people walk in pairs, although there are soldiers guarding the inner city gate, no one stops them.
"Oh, that's the Yuan family recruiting family members!" Zhao Qingwu disagreed: "The Yuan family let them compete on the school field. ”
"Did you come here on Hikoshin's fair day?" Changed the subject.
In my heart, I was already full of questions.
The armaments of Runan can be said to be extremely deserted. In the marginal counties, bandits are rampant, and it is strange that there is no shadow of the Yuan family behind.
Although he didn't inquire at all who the wealth left by the bandits after each robbery was given to him, nine times out of ten it fell into the pocket of the Yuan family.
That's it, the school field is a place where the county lieutenant leads the county soldiers to practice, and the Yuan family selects the family and requisitions it in a grand manner.
Where did they put the Taishou in this way?
"Yan Xingong himself never left the inner city, and it is said that he wrote books in the lobby every day after the o'clock." Zhao Qingwu returned to be organized: "The real housekeeper often comes out for a drink. ”
"Let Zhao Long bring a dozen brothers," Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and ordered, "Let's go to the school field to break through!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the steel sword that had been placed aside.
Want to fight? Xu Shu was suddenly overjoyed, he hadn't felt this kind of blood boiling for a long time.
Humans are social creatures and are most vulnerable to the environment.
Before entering Yingchuan Academy, he fought bravely with other rangers every day.
After arriving at the academy, everyone is studying hard, are you too lazy to be lazy? In the past few years, I have studied military affairs in a down-to-earth manner.
The school field in Runan County is the size of two football fields, and the field is full of potholes, although there are many people who come to apply, it still looks sparse in the huge school field.
On the platform, there was a person who looked like a butler accompanied the county lieutenant in military uniform to comment on the people who should be recruited.
Suddenly, they couldn't help but be very surprised when they saw Zhao Yun and his party marching in.
There are people who ride horses, and the position of the Yuan family's family is rare?
"Let's go and greet you, I don't know which family's children it is!" The butler was a delicate man, so he hurried down.
The county lieutenant Du Chun didn't think so, and when he saw that the housekeepers of the Yuan family were all going to greet him, he didn't move, as if he was rude, and he slowly stood up and followed behind.
The crowd of family members who applied for the recruitment suddenly became chaotic, and a thin man cried: "My brother also left here two months ago. ”
He shouted louder and louder: "When I left, I gave fifty copper plates for settling-in money." It's been a month, and I don't see anyone alive or dead. ”
"Everyone, I went to the Yuan family's mansion to find someone, but the eldest brother didn't see it, and he was blasted out."
"Now that my grandfather has passed away, I want to report to my brother, and the people of the Yuan family actually say that I am messing around."
"You said you went to Yuan's house, so you went to Yuan's house?" The two family-looking people didn't wait for orders, and came out to drive people out: "What are you?" A dog and a cat dare to trouble the Yuan family. ”
The man was kicked to the ground and cried to himself: "Although my Wang Wu has a humble status, how dare I provoke the Yuan family on weekdays?" ”
He got up and rushed towards the two family members: "Return my brother!" ”
"Nonsense!" Du Chun yelled: "What place are you going to be?" It's my school field in Runan County, and I can't find my brother in this official reading. ”
"If this happens again, I will not be spared!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a bright broadsword.
"Your Excellency!" The man still didn't give up: "The villain spent all the family's savings for Grandpa's illness and borrowed a lot of money. ”
"Today, please call the shots for the adults and find the eldest brother Wang Si for the villain!"
"You splash skin," Du Chun was annoyed and ashamed, and slashed it with a big knife: "If I don't kill you, I won't show the rules of my county soldiers!" ”
"Bold!" Zhao Yun roared angrily and galloped forward.
He didn't hear what Wang Wu said clearly, and only saw a person who looked like an officer was going to kill people in public.
It was also Du Chun who was stunned, and the sword had just resisted the falling broadsword.
"What a thief, he actually cut down the master's sword." Du Chun was angry and angry: "Don't go up left and right?" Live or die! ”
Kindness? Zhao Yun jumped off his horse, and the sword stretched forward, already stabbing into the county lieutenant's chest.
As soon as Du Chun and the other sword were drawn, his eyes were wide open, and his body fell to the ground, seeing that it was no longer possible.
"Murderer, Zhao Zilong, the captain of Jizhou, is really determined to be filial piety!" Zhao Yun shouted.
Xu Shu and Zhao Long took the troops and forced the stunned county soldiers.
