Chapter 301: Betrayal
Originally, Shen Fan thought that these bandits had to be iron-blooded tough guys, but Shen Fan was a little disappointed by the repeated "heroes begging for mercy.....
"Light the torch!" Shen Fan hurriedly commanded.
Soon, under the guidance of the surrendered bandits, torches were lit all over the cottage.
All the torches in the cottage were lit, and Shen Fan saw these surrendered bandits clearly.
At this time, all the bandits were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and as for the weapons, they had already been thrown on the ground.
These surrendered bandits were very clear about the process of surrender, and when the first cry of mercy was called, almost all the bandits surrendered.......
"The hero spares his life, this is all the arrangement of our village master, and it is none of our brothers' business!" Soon, these surrendered bandits began to dump the pot internally.
Shen Fan asked in a deep voice, "Which one is your village master?" ”
This arrangement ambushed the owner of the village who had yin against him, and Shen Fan was still very interested in meeting him.
"Brothers, everyone look around, is the owner of the village hiding among us!" A very good bandit decisively chose to betray his owner......
Shen Fan: ".........."
At this time, Shen Fan just wanted to say to the betrayed owner of the village: "This owner of the village let you be, it's too much of a failure!" ”
However, after the patient search of the bandits, the mysterious owner of the village has not been found.
"I suspect that our village owner has escaped along the path back to the mountain!" Soon, the bandits took the initiative to confess new clues.
This kind of spirit of confession and leniency and resistance to strictness deeply moved Shen Fan, but this village owner was too much of a failure.............
"Is there a path behind the cottage?" Shen Fan asked suspiciously.
Prior to this, Shen Fan had also specially sent soldiers to investigate, and there was no way out of the back mountain.
"Back to the boss, there is indeed a path in the back mountain, but it is very hidden, and ordinary people can't find it at all!" A thief said with a flattering face.
"I see!" Shen Fan sighed, he didn't expect that he would let the initiator of today's ambush run away.
Originally, Shen Fan thought that there was no road in the back mountain, so he did not arrange troops to garrison it, but now according to the time calculation, the owner of the village is afraid that he has already run away, and it is too late to chase after him now.
"Boss, don't worry, I'm familiar with the trail behind the mountain, and I'll lead the way to chase it!" As soon as a thief saw that the opportunity to make meritorious service had arrived, he immediately said.
Shen Fan nodded: "Then follow what you say!" ”
If you run away from a thief village owner, you will run away if you are afraid of running, but what Shen Fan is afraid of is that this thief village owner will go to Xu Chu to tell the truth, if that is the case, it will not be easy to do.
To be on the safe side, no matter whether he can catch it or not, Shen Fan has to give it a try.
Soon, four or five bandits took the initiative to stand up and be willing to lead the way, so Shen Fan divided more than 600 people into five groups to chase down the thief owner who ran away.
"Apart from the owner of the village, who else are you leading?" Shen Fan asked loudly.
Soon, a person raised his hand tremblingly, very scared, it seemed that he was afraid of Shen Fan's retaliation.
Shen Fan could see that this buddy didn't want to take the initiative to admit it, but obviously, even if he didn't take the initiative to admit it, he would soon be reported by other bandits............
"You're in the cottage
What is the job title? Shen Fan asked lightly.
Now that the cottage has been captured, all that remains is how to place these bandit captives.
According to rough estimates, there must be at least four or five thousand of these surrendered bandits, and if such a large number of people are not properly managed, it is also easy to have problems.
"Lord Hui, I'm.... The three masters of the cottage ....." When he said this, the body of the three masters was always entangled, and it seemed that he was afraid of Shen Fan's revenge.
The owner of the village who escaped just now should be the big boss, so there should be a second master, "What about your second master?" Shen Fan asked in a deep voice.
The third master lowered his head and said cautiously: "Lord Huiyu, the second master is dead, and the archer just now is the second master in charge!" ”
Most of the second masters of this cottage died under Huang Zhong's hands.
Shen Fan nodded: "Isn't this cottage already abandoned, why are you here?" ”
"My lord, it turned out that all the cottages here were exterminated by Sun Jian, our brothers were not here, they were all other cottages, and later after Sun Jian became the county Sima, he began to suppress bandits on a large scale, and all the cottages were wiped out!"
The organizer of the three masters said slowly.
The third master continued: "Our brothers, the cottage was destroyed, and there was nowhere to go, and then the owner of the village established the current cottage, so we also came to the current cottage, it turned out that our cottage was not here, and then I heard that Xu Zhao's army came over, and Fuchun City was surrounded, and the owner of the village came here with our brothers, saying that it was dark under the lamp!" ”
After listening to the words of this three-master, it doesn't seem to be fake.
It seems that I met the dove occupying the magpie's nest today, these bandits are the remnants of the previous cottages, just gathered by the owner of the village, these bandits have no cohesion at all, and they betray each other endlessly.
However, it is very interesting that the three masters mentioned it just now are dark under the lamp, this place is so close to Fuchun City, it looks very dangerous, but isn't the most dangerous place the safest place, so that no one can think of the bandits hiding in the .........
Shen Fan is becoming more and more interested in the owner of this cottage.
After understanding the situation of these bandits, the next thing to do is to think about how to place these bandits.
These surrendered bandits must have at least four or five thousand, for Shen Fan, this is a population, and he must be excited.
But the current situation is not safe, Xu Chu's 500,000 army is not far from here, and now Shen Fan can't divide the troops and horses to take these captives back to the territory.
If you stay where you are, you have to leave someone to take care of these prisoners, and how to place these prisoners stumped Shen Fan.
Seeing Shen Fan frowning, the three masters were so frightened that cold sweat flowed down, for fear that Shen Fan would have a murderous intent.
Shen Fan suddenly looked at the three masters and asked, "How do you think I should place you?" ”
The third master replied tremblingly while wiping a cold sweat: "We all listen to adults, we all listen to adults........"
In the end, Shen Fan still decided to send these bandit captives back to the territory, which is a population of four or five thousand, and Shen Fan was not willing to give up, and then when the cavalry transporting the grain came back, he asked them to go back and send these bandit captives to the territory.
Now the most lacking thing in the development of the territory is the population, though
However, there are many people who naturally refresh the territory and the refugee camp every day, but these populations are still far from enough for Shen Fan.
Although the fighting consciousness of these bandits is really flattering, it is okay for these bandits not to become soldiers.
The placement of these bandits has been temporarily solved, and there is still a problem waiting for Shen Fan to deal with, that is, the cavalry captain that Huang Zhong caught before.....
After the cavalry captain was knocked unconscious by Huang Zhong, he became a prisoner with honor, and now this cavalry captain has already woken up, just waiting for Shen Fan to interrogate.
He had been fighting fiercely before, and then attacked the cottage, and it was only now that Shen Fan had time to interrogate this cavalry captain.
Now what Shen Fan wants to know most is some of Xu Chu's internal information, and the most important thing is when Xu Zhao's reinforcements will arrive.
According to the news from Chai Fugui, in addition to sending Xu Chu, a general and an army of 500,000, Xu Zhao also had a group of reinforcements behind and was rushing to Fuchun City.
Xu Zhao mobilized such a large number of troops, for more than a small Fuchun City.
Shen Fan estimated that Xu Zhao should have gained insight into Sun Jian's true purpose, and Xu Zhao's mobilization of the army was to start a decisive battle with the imperial army here in Fuchun City.
Soon, the captured cavalry captain was brought up, and from this confused look, Shen Fan also saw a deeper level of confusion......
Bacheng doesn't know what the situation is now, no wonder, he was stunned by Huang Zhong with a knife from the moment he rushed up, and everyone was stunned....
"Name?" Shen Fan asked lightly.
"Zhang Zhou!" The cavalry lieutenant replied very simply.
"When will your reinforcements arrive?" Shen Fan's next question was also very abrupt, he was still asking for basic information in the last second, and he directly asked about military secrets in the next second.
"I don't know!" Zhang Zhou said in a low voice, obviously he also knew what Shen Fan's question meant.
"You say it or not, I can know the news, there are other captives besides you and me, now tell me, we can both save trouble! This way you will be able to suffer less from the flesh and skin! Shen Fan said lightly.
Zhang Zhou was directly silent, obviously, the authenticity of Shen Fan's words was difficult to determine.
There are definitely no other captives Shen Fan, Zhang Zhou is the only captive, and the reason why Shen Fan said this is naturally to deceive him.
"Three days at the earliest!" Zhang Zhou finally spoke.
Shen Fan nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Who else did Xu Zhao send this time besides Xu Chu?"
According to Shen Fan's guess, in addition to Xu Chu this time, Xu Zhao must have sent someone else to come with him.....
"Yes, but I don't know his exact name, I only know that Xu Chu also calls him Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Zhou's words instantly reminded Shen Fan of a person, and this person was Chen Gong.
According to Shen Fan's guess, the eight achievements of Mr. Chen that Zhang Zhou said were Chen Gong.
However, what made Shen Fan feel strange was that the recruitment task condition given to him by Chen Gong was obviously to kill Xu Zhao, so why did Chen Gong still assist Xu Zhao, it was very strange and even contradictory to think about it.........
