On the third day of the fifth month, the weather became hotter and hotter, Zuo Du took people to finish their daily practice, didn't bother to go back to the barracks to repair, and directly took people to the river to wash their faces and necks, and then took people into the forest to find a shady place to lie down.

As a result, just squatting by the river, a soldier ran from a distance, pointed to the front and said: "General, there is a caravan coming in front!" ”

Zuo Du poured water to wash his face, and said indifferently: "Come here, let the king and the general strictly order that we are not allowed to harass the passing caravan." ”

"No, they are so miserable, it seems that they have just experienced a fierce battle, and there are still a few corpses on the car."

When Zuo Du heard this, his spirits perked up, and he immediately got up: "You must have met bandits, go, ask!" ”

If they weren't far away, they would go and kill the bandits.

They haven't had a good time recently, so that Jun is very fair, and he also values their generals, if there are any good things, what the Zhao family army has, the Xiliang army will also give a copy.

It's just that there aren't many things in your hands, so basic food and clothing are no problem, but if you want to be better, you have to work hard.

But they are all elite soldiers, they work hard every day, and it is not enough to eat, they also have to eat meat! Eat oil and water!

So to get more, they have to earn it themselves.

And if the envoy and the general do not allow them to offend the people, then they can only offend the bandits and bandits.

It's a pity that General Zhao Er of Xin'an next door also knows this, since he went to Xin'an, he has relied on some distance from Luoyang City to suppress the newly formed bandits nearby, and robbed a lot of things from the bandits' den.

Once, he also hit a Wu Fort, it is said that the bandit was raised by a Wu Fort, pretending to be a bandit and going out to rob, who knew that Zhao Erlang was tight, and directly drove people into Wu Fort.

He was also naïve, and without a greeting, he occupied the Wu Fort, and the small family that built the Wu Forts was all tied up as bandits.

Although Zhao Hanzhang scolded Zhao Erlang after knowing it, he turned around and issued an edict that anyone who dared to rob passing merchants and travelers would be punished as bandits, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

Then he acquiesced in the dock fort occupied by Zhao Erlang, and even those who were confiscated were not pardoned, and they were tattooed according to the law and pressed into the ground to open up wasteland.

This is what happened a few days ago, it is said that because of this battle, everyone in the Zhao family army on the Xin'an side made a sum of money, and this Dragon Boat Festival should be able to live well, maybe there will be meat to eat every day.

Zuo Du became excited, greeted those recruits, and ran directly towards the caravan.

The Xiliang Army has also recruited new ones this year, and they are good seedlings selected from the newly recruited ordinary soldiers, and they are training during this time, hoping that they can learn a little more before going to the battlefield, and the probability of survival will be greater.

Gao Zhi's face was heavy, and he walked beside the car, and his horse was given up to the seriously wounded guards.

Seeing an army rushing towards them, Gao Xu's back stiffened, and he drew his sword with a brush, staring at the front with cold eyes.

The guards were also nervous, but thinking that this was already the Luoyang realm, they were not so nervous.

Zhao Chang also stepped forward with a knife and said to Gao Xu: "Family master, Zhao Jiajunqiu has not committed any crimes, it should be fine, let everyone put away the sword, don't conflict." ”

Sima Hou also stepped forward and admonished: "Yes, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble. ”

Gao Yu thought about it, but he believed in Zhao Hanzhang's personality, but he didn't believe in the rushing army, what if someone disobeyed the yang and wanted to rob the business trip?

Zuo Du ran to the front, and when he saw that there were nearly 100 sheep in the team, he couldn't take his eyes off.

He looked at it covetously, and finally forced himself to look away, looked up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" Where did the wounds come from? ”

Gao Zhi saw that he had brought so many people and had excellent weapons in his hands, so he knew that he couldn't fight, so he honestly inserted his sword back, bowed down and said: "Under Gao Xu, he is a Shu person, and he came to Luoyang to sell some goods, but he didn't expect to meet thieves on the road, so he was injured." ”

"Shu people? How did the Shu people go from this side? ”

Gao Zhi hurriedly said: "I didn't come from Shudi, I transported a batch of goods to the north before, and I came back from there." ”

The goods they brought back had strong northern characteristics, not to mention anything else, just look at the batch of sheep behind him that were not raised in Shudi, so Gao Zhi has told the truth.

Zhao Hanzhang did not restrict business travel and northland, and even encouraged some people, after all...... Luoyang was poor, and now the Northland is rich.

Zuo Du glanced at the sheep again regretfully, and was not very interested in the goods of the dozen or so cars.

"Where did you meet the bandits?"

Gao Xue said: "In the children's ridge." ”

It was out of the Luoyang boundary, but it was not far from Luoyang, and it was a little longer than the children's ridge to enter the Luoyang boundary.

There is not under the control of the left capital, according to the territorial management system, there is ......

Well?

There doesn't seem to be a garrison of the Zhao family's army there.

Zuo Du perked up and said: "Such a vicious bandit, if you don't suppress it, it's not enough for the people to be angry, and I'll go and exterminate it for you." ”

After that, he took the people and marched in a hurry to suppress the bandits.

Gao Zhi opened his mouth wide in surprise, and saw that Zuo Du really led people to Erling, he hurriedly stopped people, thought about it, took out ten sheep from the flock and handed them to him, and said with a touched face: "The general's heart, but we can't help but be grateful, these ten sheep have the right to be a sacrifice army, and when the general is triumphant, there will be a heavy gift." ”

If this army can suppress the bandits on the children's ridge, then it will be much safer for him to enter and leave Luoyang in the future.

Zuo Du wanted it very much, but this violated Zhao Hanzhang's regulations.

The envoy said that even if there are kind-hearted people to reward the army, the materials must be handed over first, and then distributed below.

Therefore, even if he took these ten sheep, he might not all be in his hands.

I can't eat it now, and it's a waste of manpower to rush it, so Zuo Du refused with a wave of his hand, and probably asked about the situation of the bandits in Erling and took people away.

He encouraged the soldiers behind him, "The bandits in that Erling even dare to rob such a large caravan, which shows that there have been many robberies in the past, and we will take it down and add a dish to the whole army." ”

The soldiers were glad to respond.

His adjutant general hesitated, "General Zuo, we have to run for at least one day from here to Erling, wouldn't it be bad to leave the camp for too long?" ”

Zuo Du said: "Don't worry, our Xiliang Army is very rough, and it is normal to bring people out to practice, and it is normal not to return to the camp for three or five days." ”

Having said that, he still called the soldiers and asked him to go back to deliver the message, "Just say that I went to Erling to suppress the bandits, and I can only tell the general about this matter, and I am not allowed to spread it to Zhao Jiajun." ”

Afraid that they will come to rob the bandits.

Ordered the soldiers to respond, turn around and run.

As a result, they only ran out of the way, and they encountered a mighty team, and when they saw the totem of Xiliang on the high banner, as well as the word Beigong on it, Zuo couldn't help but stop.

The soldiers behind him also stopped, and everyone stared at the flag with big eyes, and some recruits couldn't help but sigh, "It was said that our general was superb, but it turned out to be true, and he flashed in front of us with a sigh." ”

Zuo Du was just stunned for a moment before reacting, slapped the recruit's head, and roared excitedly: "Fool, the general is the god of war, not a real god, and he can fly, this is General Huang, General Huang picked people up." ”

His mother-in-law and child, Zuo Du pulled out his legs and ran over there.
