Chapter 147: Zhao Xiao rebelled
The rebels of Zhending County were not stationed in the barracks next to the county seat, but in the township near the Taihang Mountains.
According to Zhao Jun, although the righteous army is also a army, but after all, it is not a regular army, most of the sergeants are the people of the township, in addition to spontaneously organizing to fight against the thieves on weekdays, they also have to take care of the father, the elderly, the wife and children at home, and cultivate the life.
Especially in terms of the current situation, Zhending County is simply unable to provide enough food and salary for the righteous army, and without food, not to mention the scruples of the father, elder, wife and children at home, the lives of the righteous soldiers themselves have become a problem, and how to gather in the county military camp for unified training.
This is a real matter of survival, and it cannot be ignored.
However, as Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, promised to fund his own funds to purchase grain and ordnance for the rebel army, the difficulty was temporarily solved.
After solving the problem of food, clothing and ordnance, the rebels can free up time to patrol the countryside while practicing to fight against the thieves in Taihang Mountain.
Zhao Jun summoned the rebels and asked them to gather in the township middle school field to meet Liu Jian, Liu Wei, Sun Jin and others.
As Zhao Jun said, the equipment of the soldiers of the rebel army is indeed poor, most of them are not armored, all kinds of weapons are available, and even some people use wooden spears, but fortunately, most of the thieves on Chu Yan's side are not well armed, and the equipment of the two sides is half a catty and eight taels, and no one is darker than the other.
Liu Wei and Sun Jin didn't understand anything, they just nodded vigorously to express their satisfaction, and at the same time did not forget to praise the merits of Zhending County Commander and Zhao Jun, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts.
However, Liu Jian was disappointed.
The state and morale of these rebels are not as strong as imagined.
The bodies of those soldiers are strong, but it may be because Liu Jian participated in the two major battles of Mobei and the Yellow Turban in a row, and is used to seeing the soldiers of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army and the fierce and brave soldiers of the Sanhe Jiashi, so the righteous army composed of these villagers makes Liu Jian feel that there is nothing to look at.
Zhao Jun then drilled the righteous army in front of a group of people, although the effect was not as powerful as the soldiers who trained the Yue cavalry battalion when Liu Jian was in Luoyang, but it was still decent and could barely be used.
But for some reason, Liu Jian's feeling when he looked at this rebel army was a little awkward.
But he couldn't say what was awkward.
asked Cheng Pu, who came with him, Cheng Pu also had the same feeling as Liu Jian, but he didn't get what he wanted.
After the drill, Liu Jian instructed Zhao Jun: "The soldiers of the righteous army all spontaneously resisted the thieves, and the county office did not pay the soldiers, so naturally there are still a lot of things at home waiting for them to deal with, and let them disperse, after all, it is not easy to survive."
Zhao Jun arched his hand and said, "Jun Dynasty soldiers, thank you for your kindness!"
Subsequently, Zhao Jun immediately ordered the righteous soldiers to disband.
The rebel soldiers thanked them and dispersed.
But it was not until this time that Liu Jian finally understood why he felt that this rebel army made him feel awkward.
Whether these soldiers gather and practice at the right time, or scatter at this time, there seems to be a sense of distance between people.
According to common sense, these rebels are all the people of the townships who are really subordinate to them, and they admire the name of Zhao Jun and spontaneously form the rebels. ….
It's just a matter of training the whole team at the right time, and the team is scattered at this time, and it should be a group of three or three, and five or five get together and leave......
But these people in front of them, when they disbanded, although there were people who talked to each other, there were not many, and even if there were people who talked to each other, they didn't seem to be familiar with their appearance.
This is the legendary township group of rebels?
Liu Jian silently watched these soldiers disperse, and his face was unconsciously covered with a layer of frost.
"Uncle Fang!"
Zhending County Commander came behind Liu Jian and said: "It's getting late, if you go back to the county to live, you still need to walk, don't live in the township today, the Zhao family is a big family in the township, the homestead is not small, you can live in it, and it's not too late to go back to the county tomorrow."
Liu Jian said lightly: "I don't care, you can go and ask the king."
"Yui!"
……
……
That night, a group of people temporarily stayed at Zhao's house.
The Zhao family is a big family in the township, the family is quite solid, the house is not small, and there are many houses, Zhao Jun let the family slaughter a sheep, and take out the wine hidden in the cellar, and arrange a group of nobles.
In these years, there are not many people in the countryside who can stay and stay at the same time as the state pastor, the princes and kings, and the country.
It is by no means an exaggeration to describe it as a fluffy and shining.
But just when everyone was drinking and feasting in the courtyard, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the house, followed by the sound of laughter and scolding without scruples.
Immediately afterwards, the gate opened, and a group of young men with bows on their backs, hounds, and pheasants and wild deer in their hands walked towards the house while telling jokes.
They speak without scruples, their voices are extremely high, and there are some swear words mixed in between their words, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to.
Especially Sun Jin and Zhending County Order, both of whom are people who have read poetry and books, can't help frowning at the moment, as if they are quite disappointed.
"Uh-huh! Ahem, ahem!"
The county magistrate of Zhending coughed deliberately, and then gestured to Zhao Jun with his eyes.
Zhao Jun understood the meaning of the county order, hurriedly got up, strode to the front of the courtyard, and said to the young men who were laughing and scolding, "Don't make a noise, don't you see that there are distinguished guests in my house today!"
Those laughing teenagers all turned their heads to look at Zhao Jun, they were also polite, and then they were silent.
Come to think of it, these are the "idlers" in the mouths of Zhao Jun and the county commander.
But seeing a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy among them, he pushed everyone away and walked in front of Zhao Jun, and said, "Big brother, your person is a distinguished guest, and my person is not a guest?"
The young man's appearance and figure are almost the same as Zhao Jun's, they all have the posture of a warrior and hero, but he has not grown up, and he still belongs to the condensed version of Haojie.
However, among his peers, his figure is extremely strong, although his appearance is immature, but it is angular, quite heroic, and Zhou is up and down, showing the pride of Yan Zhao Nan'er!
Facing the young man's questioning, Zhao Jun's face was a little ugly: "I didn't say that!"
The young man said, "Since they are all guests, my brother doesn't ask for courtesy, and he reprimands him first as soon as he comes up, what is the reason? Is this my brother's hospitality?"
Zhao Jun's face turned red when his younger brother said it, but Liu Jian, Liu Wei and others were present, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure.
"Second brother! Those who came today are all big names in the state and county! Thou shalt not make trouble!"
Beside Zhao Yun, a young man tugged at his sleeve, then squeezed his eyes at Zhao Yun, and said, "Yun, if you have guests at home today, we won't stay much, see you in the old place tomorrow!" ….
After saying that, I saw the young man arching his hand at Zhao Jun: "Brother Zhao family, these things in the mountains and wilderness are a little bit of my heart, eldest brother and accept it, Yun is still young, please don't meet him in general!"
Zhao Jun said with a straight face: "You teach him to learn well on weekdays, and I won't see him in general!" Take the things away, go back and honor your father, I don't lack it!"
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows: "Brother, people are giving you a gift!"
Zhao Jun said, "I said no, let them take it back to honor their parents!"
Behind Zhao Yun, the young man said: "Brother whether to accept it or not, it's my brother's business, whether we wait to send it or not, it's our business, I wait for it to be sent today, there is no reason to take it back, if the eldest brother dislikes it, order someone to leave it out!"
After that, he said to Zhao Yun, "Yun, let's go!"
After that, all the young men turned around and walked out of the Zhao family's mansion.
It's just that a bunch of prey was put in front of the courtyard, and the laughter and scolding of those teenagers were faintly heard outside the courtyard.
In the courtyard, only Zhao Yun and Zhao Jun brothers were left staring at each other.
Zhao Yun wasn't angry, just pointed to the prey on the ground and asked his brother, "Do you want it?" If you don't want me, I'll throw it out."
Zhao Jun couldn't care about those prey, he grabbed Zhao Yun, pulled him in front of the nobles, and said with a smile: "Brother She's young and stubborn, and he has lost his manners, please don't blame you!"
After that, he patted Zhao Yun on the back and said, "I haven't seen you yet
People!"
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhao Jun lightly, sighed lightly, and arched his hand, as if he was a little careless:
"I've seen a nobleman!"
"This is Uncle Fang of Jizhou!"
"I've seen Uncle Fang."
"This is the King of Changshan!"
"I've seen King Changshan."
"This is the Prime Minister."
"I've seen Xiang-kun."
"This is the county honor! You've seen it before."
Zhao Yun was silent.
When he was young, he saw Zhao Yun turn his head to look at Zhao Jun: "Brother, after asking, I'll go back to rest."
Zhao Jun's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "There are distinguished guests here, and you are not here to accompany you, what do you mean when you go back to the room at this time?"
Zhao Yun said lightly, "My guest, has my brother ever entertained you?"
Zhao Jun's angry words were speechless, and he couldn't refute it.
The young Zhao Yun arched his hand towards the nobles present and strode away.
Zhao Jun was stunned for a while, and reluctantly apologized to everyone: "My younger brother is young and vigorous, and he is stubborn, it is my fault as a brother, please don't blame you."
Liu Wei was very happy to eat and drink today, and he waved his hand aggressively: "That's it, the young man's temperament is not enough to worry about!" Who of us here has never been young? Who hasn't done a few ridiculous things when they're young? Who's not a hero?"
Speaking of this, Liu Wei hurriedly added: "Except for Deran, he is not old, he is still very young! Hahahaha!"
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and the embarrassing atmosphere of Shicai was swept away.
King Changshan can't do anything else, but he still has the ability to ease the atmosphere at the wine table.
This made Liu Jian can't help but think of Jian Yong.
It seems that in this world, everyone has his strengths, even a waste like Liu Wei has his place. ….
Zhending County Commander stroked his beard and said bitterly to Zhao Jun: "Zigui, your younger brother is rebellious, and he has to discipline him, in front of many nobles, how can he be so disrespectful? What a system!"
Zhao Jun hurriedly said, "What the county monarch has taught me is that I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future!"
Liu Jian gently sipped the wine, took advantage of the crowd to speak, turned his head and instructed Cheng Pu, who was standing behind him, to whisper: "Demou, there is something."
"Uncle Fang commands."
"In the past few days, I will live in Zhao's house, that Zhao Yun, you can help me keep an eye on him, see what he does on weekdays, and ...... Inform Xu Mengtong and ask him to check one thing......
Cheng Pu listened to Liu Jian's whispered instructions and kept his words in mind.
……
……
That night, Liu Jian and others stayed at Zhao's house, and on the second day he told Liu Wei and Sun Jin that he wanted to survey the terrain of Taihang in the townships around Zhending, and asked Zhao Jun to transfer 200 volunteers to accompany him to investigate.
Although Liu Wei wanted to go back early, Liu Jian spoke, and even if he was the king of Changshan, he couldn't help it.
As a result, the group could only temporarily stay in the township near Zhending and continue to eat and live at Zhao's house.
Liu Jian surveyed the terrain near Taihang for two days, and two days later, Cheng Pu, who was in charge of staring at Zhao Yun, probably figured out Zhao Yun's daily route, so he reported to Liu Jian.
On the third day, Liu Jian did not continue to inspect the vicinity of Taihang, but took Cheng Pu and his guards out of Zhao's door early in the morning, bluntly saying that there was something important to do.
……
After Cheng Pu's investigation in the past few days, it was found that Zhao Yun went out to the mountains and forests with his so-called "fox friends and dog friends" every day to shoot, leaving early and returning late.
A young man of this age, even if he is playful, he is not so crazy every day, and when Liu Jian was the Four Tigers of Zhuo County in Zhuo County, he was not as unobtrusive as Zhao Yun.
On the morning of this day, Liu Jian and others followed Cheng Pu to a mountain forest near Zhending County, where Zhao Yun and a few of his friends hunted, and several young men who did not do their jobs met here every day.
When Cheng Pu was with Zhao Yun on the first day, he found this
A young man's vigilance is extremely high, and it is extremely difficult to follow him, so he did not follow him into the mountains and forests, but just guarded the path into the countryside, and when Zhao Yun and others came back in the evening, they chose a group of them with low vigilance, and followed to find out where his home was.
And the next day, Cheng Pu changed his target, followed this person, and roughly figured out where Zhao Yun and them gathered.
Today, Liu Jian and Cheng Pu came to the gathering place of those teenagers with a group of guards.
After entering the mountain forest, not far into the walk, there is a spacious open space in front of you.
As the vacant land came into Liu Jian's field of vision, it was not a group of unscrupulous losers who were leading their dogs to hunt and go on outings.
On the contrary, it was a group of men with well-groomed faces and wooden spears and bows!
They shoot arrows in pairs and attack in pairs, and they are practicing their martial arts and cooperation with their hearts.
And the person who led the command was none other than Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun's ears were very pointed, he heard the sound, and hurriedly turned his head to look.
But I saw that led by Liu Jian and Cheng Pu, a group of people were watching them not far away.
"Stop!"
Zhao Yun shouted loudly, causing the "dog friends" to stop their movements.
Then, he jumped down from one of the highest rocks and came to Liu Jian with a wooden spear.
"You...... Why are you here?"
Zhao Yun knew that the person in front of him was Jizhou Fangbo, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Junior brother of the Zhao family, what are you doing? the private army? You need to know that what you are doing now, in a certain opinion, is suspected of gathering a crowd to play a military role."
Liu Jian looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to learn from Chu Yan? Do you want to bring people together?"
"No!" Zhao Yun hurriedly denied it: "Husband, it's a pity that you can't lift a three-foot sword to make meritorious contributions, how can you be a thief!"
Frowned
