Zuo Xiaoliang came to Zhao Han, not a two-sided bet.

The Huang family and the Zuo family are both Ji'an clans.

The Huang clan in Huangjia Town and the Zuo clan in Huangba Village are just remote branches of the big clan.

Zuo Xiaoliang's hometown is in Xuanba Village, on the other side of the river in Wuxing Township, where the villagers spontaneously rioted to divide the land. At this time, it had been taken over by Zhao Han, and Zuo Xiaoliang was so poor that he only had a few acres of land left, but he escaped because of this.

As for Zuo Xiaocheng, who defected to the governor, his hometown is in Yongyang Town.

It was at the forefront, and the west, north and south sides had been occupied by mobs. Because of the prosperity of commerce and the relatively fertile land in Yongyang Town, the peasants were able to get on for the time being, so there was no killing of the landlords.

But the gentry were still afraid, and quietly gathered their clansmen and domestic slaves to train their troops, always on guard against the peasants rising up.

Zuo Xiaocheng and Zuo Xiaoliang didn't know each other until they were both admitted to Xiucai, and they knew that they were clan brothers by looking at their names, so the relationship quickly became close.

When Xuanhua Township rioted one after another, the two of them were trying in Nanchang Township.

The examiners both failed to make the list, and when they returned to their hometowns together, they learned about the situation, and they made an appointment to go to Wuxing Village to investigate the truth.

After some inquiry, Zuo Xiaocheng was shocked and inexplicable, and hurriedly went to Ji'an and ran to see the governor Xie Xuelong.

Zuo Xiaoliang was mixed with joy, continued to observe Zhao Han's governance, and was gradually impressed.

His family was already very poor, and he couldn't eat enough during the township test, so Zuo Xiaocheng gave him a few meatloaf. He was sixteen years old and talented, but he failed in the township test, and the imperial court also canceled the preferential exemption, which made Zuo Xiaoliang very disappointed.

Zuo Xiaoliang thinks that Zhao Han may succeed!

"Poof!"

Fei Ruhe slapped the knife on the table, sat down and said, "Is there going to be a war?" ”

"I don't know," Zhao Han said with a headache, "The mob downstream has looted the ships, and no merchant ships dare to come over, so naturally the news will not spread." I've sent a boat to Fucheng, hoping not to be robbed by the mob, otherwise our spies won't be able to come back." ”

"It should be fought," Zuo Xiaoliang suddenly spoke, "My clan brother has already gone to the governor, and he knows what Wuxing Town is like." As long as the governor is not stupid, he will definitely send troops to attack, but he will definitely attack the mob downstream first. ”

Fei Ruhe glanced at Zuo Xiaoliang: "Which one is this?" ”

Zhao Han said: "Zuo Xiaoliang, the word is good, and the talent is fair. ”

"Heh, finally a Xiucai defected," Fei Ruhe smiled and asked Zuo Xiaoliang, "Will you lead troops to fight?" ”

Zuo Xiaoliang shook his head: "No." ”

Fei Ruhe was unceremonious: "That's a civil official, it's not all the way with us." ”

Zuo Xiaoliang smiled in return and didn't bother with this guy.

Zhao Han said to everyone: "The Li family must be taken, and the troops will be dispatched immediately tomorrow, and the relevant personnel will follow, and you will each go back to prepare!" ”

Lijiagui is a large village, and even developed into a market town, located in the bay of Heshui, the land is very flat and fertile. There are mountains to the north, and mountains on the other side of the river, and it is a must-attack place for the governor to send troops.

Now it is occupied by a mob of people, and after killing the landlord, he has become a new landlord, and has formed a gang to suppress the tenants.

What's even more odious is that these guys use Zhao Han's signboard and keep saying that they follow "Mr. Zhao", but they refuse to allow political workers to enter the propaganda.

If Xie Xuelong led troops to attack, those fools who occupied the Li family were likely to directly defect to the governor and help the officials and soldiers to fight Zhao Han.

The next day, troops were dispatched.

Eight hundred soldiers marched along the river on foot, and grain and grass were transported in small boats - Zhao Han was too poor to afford a large ship to transport troops, so he had to build some small boats to transport grain himself.

Zuo Xiaoliang followed Zhao Han's side, looking at the army called Huazi behind him, and very strange emotions welled up in his heart.

Moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, pot lid, kitchen knife, sickle, scissors...... Can such a team fight against officers and soldiers?

is very energetic and energetic, hundreds of times better than the officers and soldiers Zuo Xiaoliang has seen!

The one named Chen Maosheng heard that he used to be a drama. At this moment, walking at the front of the team, leading everyone to sing a small song, the soldiers laughed from time to time.

Isn't the march supposed to be solemnly killed?

Zuo Xiaoliang doesn't know the soldiers, and he doesn't understand the situation, and he still needs to slowly integrate into the collective.

Zhao Han's boss banner was carried by a man named Liu Zhu.

The flag didn't have any pattern, just an indigo cotton cloth. This is the color of the common people's clothing, because indigo dyeing is cheap, and the peddlers and pawns can afford to wear it, and can be used to represent the common people.

The herald is even more interesting, it is normal to have a few command flags on his waist, and it is normal to hang a gong, and he actually carries a suona on his back.

This herald used to be a folk musician, specializing in playing suona for weddings and funerals.

I heard that as soon as the suona blew, the whole army charged.

Is this a joy for your own family?

Or do you want to blow the enemy down?

Huang Shunde was already walking with sore feet, he was the chief bookkeeper in the army, and he didn't dare to stop complaining, so he could only limp forward.

"It's only been a few miles since you walked and your legs are broken?" Zhao Han smiled and quipped, and the flickering became serious, "In the future, I will train with the soldiers!" ”

"Obey!" Huang Shunde hurriedly said.

He is a good and decent child, and he is forced to be in the company of mud legs, which can be regarded as forcing good people to become prostitutes.

However, the transformation is okay, and it no longer contradicts Zhao Han's policy, but Zhao'an's mind has not been completely erased.

"Brother Dashan," Huang Shunde moved to Zuo Xiaoliang's side, "You are a showman, and you have been a widow before, why did you come to Mr. Zhao?" ”

Zuo Xiaoliang asked rhetorically: "What about you?" ”

Huang Shunde immediately said: "Of course, I admire Mr. Zhao's demeanor, admire Mr. Zhao's virtue and majesty, and believe that Mr. Zhao can succeed." ”

Zuo Xiaoliang said: "Me too." ”

"Uh......" Huang Shunde couldn't answer, and the words had already been talked to death.

Finally came to the boundary of Lijiagui, and the herald took out a trumpet to play a small song to attract the attention of the people in the village.

When there were many villagers who came, Chen Maosheng immediately stepped forward, led his men and women, and shouted the slogan of the Datong Society, which was nothing more than that everyone had a set of fields to cultivate, food, and clothes to wear.

"Mr. Zhao is here, we are saved!"

Countless villagers rejoiced and took the initiative to follow the team, and some people ran to lead Zhao Han in the way.

Zuo Xiaoliang saw all this in his eyes, and four words came to his mind: Welcome to the king!

The group of mobs who occupied Li's abduction were frightened by the 800 army, and most of them hid in the landlord's mansion, and some of them fled directly into the mountains.

Zhao Han divided the eight hundred soldiers into four groups and surrounded the big mansion.

Just thinking about how to attack, the people of the village suddenly brought ladders and took the initiative to help them build against the wall.

As a result, the wolf soldiers held bamboos with branches to interfere with the enemy's sight and movements within the wall. Holding the lid of a pot in one hand and a sickle or kitchen knife in the other, the rattan soldier quickly climbed the ladder over the wall and sat on the wall to shield the spearman.

Zhang Tieniu didn't care so much, he climbed to the wall in three or two, and jumped down with an axe.

Fei Ruhe saw that no one was stronger than him, so he also jumped down with a knife.

These two slaughterers were outnumbered, and they drove the enemy all over the courtyard. The morale of our army was suddenly high, and regardless of the battle plan, they jumped into the courtyard one after another.

With a stick of incense, the battle is over.

Zhang Tieniu came over with a head and looked at Zhao Han with a smile, as if waiting to be praised.

Zhao Han glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Your military salary this month is gone, and you will be punished with a big demerit!" ”

During the march and battle, there was a military salary to be paid.

Zhang Tieniu was confused and said aggrievedly: "I won." ”

"Judge Jun, tell him!" Zhao Han was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two goods.

Li Xiangui, who was born as a schoolboy, instantly ran over and said, "Captain Zhang Tieniu, you made two mistakes this time!" ”

Zhang Tieniu scratched his head in sorrow and said in a daze: "I made a mistake, and I made two?" ”

Jiang Liang recounted one by one: "First, this operation focused on training troops, and trained the actual combat cooperation of non-commissioned officers, which was a military order issued before departure. You ruined the actual combat training! Second, there is an order in the military regulations, you must not cut off people's heads for merit, and you are carrying a human head in your hand! ”

Zhang Tieniu was dumbfounded, and he had nothing to say in an instant.

Zhao Han looked at the wounds on his arms and ribs, and said with contempt again: "Dealing with a group of village tyrants and villains, you were actually injured, and you also suffered two injuries, you are really powerful and brave!" ”

Zhang Tieniu explained: "It's all small injuries. ”

Fei Ruhe suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "I have all my feet, and I don't have any injuries." ”

"You have a big demerit too!"

Zhao Han was very angry, and directly burst into a foul mouth: "You are the fucking captain of a large team, commanding Lao Tzu's pacesetters, and you actually threw down your own soldiers and jumped into the courtyard alone to cut indiscriminately." In the end, no one will be able to see you, and your soldiers will not be able to find where the chief officer is! If you go to the battlefield, you will leave your soldiers like this? That's it, don't do big things, go back to your hometown and become a bandit! ”

Fei Ruhe wanted to speak and stopped, after all, he was at fault, and sighed: "It was me who was wrong, my brain was hot, and I forgot about my soldiers." ”

The rabble, Zhao Han was anxious.

Don't look at the usual training in a decent manner, this has not met the officers and soldiers, just fighting a group of village tyrants, and one by one the original form is revealed!

Zhao Han no longer cared about these two people, and said to Zuo Xiaoliang: "You follow Chen Maosheng, Fei Chun, Huang Fei, and Huang Fei to learn how to do things." First open a warehouse to release grain, attract villagers to register and make a register, and those who do not register will not receive grain. After the household register is made, then go to clear the land according to the household registration, and pay attention to the fact that there are people who steal and play tricks when dividing the fields. After dividing the land, we will re-enact "The White-Haired Girl", try these bullies, hold a grievance meeting, and preach our Datong thought. ”

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely learn to do things." Zuo Xiaoliang was very modest, although he knew this routine, he still didn't show any impatience.

Zhao Han said again: "When the government affairs of the Li family are completed, I will personally be the introducer to invite you to join the Datong Association." ”

Zuo Xiaoliang clenched his fists and said: "I will do my best!" ”

At this moment, the spies who were sent to Fucheng rowed back halfway and ran frantically to report: "Sir, the officers and soldiers are coming, there are 60,000 troops. The leaders of many villages and towns in front of you have asked you to preside over the overall situation, saying that they will join forces to deal with the government's purging and suppression. ”

"The fart army of 60,000," Zhao Han couldn't help but complain, "The governor, the prefect, and the prefect of the county have sold their butts together, and they can't get together the grain and grass of the 60,000 army!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed loudly, they were still very nervous, and they were amused by Zhao Han's words.
