Three Kingdoms King of the North

"That's great." Han Zhan waved his hand, "Zilong, let's go find a guide first."

The two rode to the front of the team, and Zhao Yun said to the bandits who were kneeling on the ground resigned to their fate: "We need someone to take us to your cottage. Who of you wants to be a guide?"

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, the thieves were stunned for a moment, and then they all cried and howled. There were even two people who kowtowed and shouted repeatedly: "Master Jun, please forgive me!"

Han Zhan was stunned by the bandits' reaction.He turned to look at Zhao Yun and asked, "We just want one person to be our guide, why do they react like this?"

Not to mention that Han Zhan was confused, Zhao Yun also looked blank. He raised the steel gun high and shouted: "Quiet, calm down for me." After the bandits regained their calm, he continued Ask, "Can any of you tell me what the hell is going on here?"

The bandits looked at each other, and a burly bandit climbed up in front of Zhao Yun's horse with hands and feet, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in his mouth: "You guys deserve death for offending the army. I hope the army There are a lot of masters, so be merciful with the knife and bypass the youngest wives and children. The little ones will be cows and horses in the next life, and they will also repay the military master's great kindness."

Han Zhan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what the bandit said. He hurriedly rode forward and said loudly: "Brothers, don't panic. I know that you were forced to become bandits, and I won't hold you accountable for your past mistakes." .I just want to take a look in your stockade, and then decide how to arrange you.”

The bandit kneeling in front of Zhao Yun looked up at the young man in front of him, and asked half-believingly, "Master, don't you want to lie to me?"

"This is a new national decree, and what you say must be done." After Zhao Yun introduced Han Zhan's identity to the bandits, he asked, "Ask me again, who is willing to be a guide and lead us to the cottage?"

Knowing that the officers and soldiers would not wipe out their village, the bandits immediately felt more at ease. When they heard Zhao Yun's question, five or six bandits immediately replied in unison: "The little ones are willing to go."

Han Zhan's eyes swept over the bandits one by one, and finally stopped at the bandit kneeling in front of Zhao Yunma, and pointed with his finger: "I'll let you be the guide. By the way, what's your name. "

"The younger one is Lin San."

After finding a guide, Han Zhan asked Zhao Yun to take the brigade to camp [-] miles ahead, while he took Rob and his cavalry to follow Lin San to the cottage.Seeing that Lin San had no horse, Han Zhan asked Patch to give up the horse he was riding.Although Patch refused in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Han Zhan's order, and obediently gave up his horse to Lin San.

On the way to the cottage, seeing Han Zhan's approachability, Lin San's courage gradually grew, and he asked tentatively, "My lord, how do you plan to arrange us?"

Han Zhan looked at Lin San, and said lightly, "Those who are willing to serve as soldiers and eat food, I welcome you; those who are willing to work in agriculture can also share the land for you to cultivate."

After following Lin San to the cottage, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning. This was far from the cottage he imagined.Not to mention the magnificent Juyi Hall in Liangshan, there are not even a few decent thatched houses, and the thatched sheds are everywhere.

Seeing a group of cavalry entering the stronghold, the women and children in the stronghold thought they were officers and soldiers who were coming to suppress them, and they were frightened and dodged everywhere.Lin San hurriedly urged the horse to start, and shouted to the panicked women and children: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm back."

"It's Lin San who's back." A woman who was closer saw that the person on the horse was Lin San, and immediately shouted at the women and children who were still running around: "Don't panic, everyone! Lin San is back!"

It was hard to wait until everyone stopped running around, but the women and children who gathered together still stood far away.The bold woman shouted at Lin San: "Lin San, why did you bring the officers and soldiers into the village?"

Chapter 0041

"Everyone, don't panic, don't make a mess." Seeing that the women and children in the village were looking at him with vigilance, Lin San hurriedly explained loudly to everyone: "This is the new county magistrate, and he is here to recruit security. Move us all to the county seat, and give each family a farmland."

"We are bandits and the government's deadly enemies. How could they come to recruit us?"

"Look at the one next to Lin San, he looks like a child. How could he be the new county magistrate?"

As soon as Lin San's words fell, the women and children in the distance began to talk about it. They thought it was a fairy tale, and it would be good if the government didn't come to clean up themselves.This Lin [-]% was deceived by lard, and actually helped the government to deceive everyone here.

"Lin San," the bold woman shouted at Lin San: "If you bring the officers and soldiers to the village, you won't be afraid that the village owner will find out and kill you when you come back?"

Hearing what the woman said, Lin San immediately raised his voice: "Don't worry, everyone, they are all dead in black. They were killed by the envoy Han and his subordinates."

As soon as Lin San's words fell, the women and children were in chaos again, and some even started to cry, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

"What's going on?" According to Han Zhan's thinking, the family members of these bandits who were kidnapped should be happy after hearing that the culprit in black was killed, but now they are as sad as their dead parents ?He quickly asked Lin San with a straight face: "Why are they crying?"

"Don't worry, Shijun, I'll calm them down immediately." Lin San raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted loudly: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!" When the scene gradually became quiet After he came down, he went on to say, "Don't worry, everyone, only Hei Yi and his subordinates died. The men in your family are still alive and well, and soon they will follow the envoy to serve as soldiers for food."

Lin San's words made the women and children quiet down, but Han Zhan was dumbfounded by what happened next. The women and children dispersed one after another knowing that their relatives were safe and sound. Some were busy feeding the chickens and ducks running around the village, some Sitting in front of his broken house sewing clothes, he seemed to regard Han Zhan and the dozens of cavalry he brought as transparent people.

Han Zhan, who was about to go up and say a few words, could only smile wryly when he saw this situation. He knew in his heart that for these women and children in the cottage, as long as their families were safe, it was much more practical than dividing the land .

Seeing the ashen-faced Han Zhan, Lin San said with some guilt, "Master, you must be tired, why don't you go and sit in the room."

Han Zhan first ordered Rob to take the cavalry to find a place to dismount and rest, then dismounted and followed Lin San to the meeting hall of the cottage.The so-called meeting hall is a thatched house built of stones, but the gates are two vermilion lacquered gates, one can tell at a glance that they were taken down from the gates of some rich family when they went out to rob houses.

Seeing Han Zhan staring at the gate, Lin San explained a little embarrassedly: "Master, this is when the village owner and his brothers made a fortune in a village next to the county seat, they unloaded it from the door of a rich man. of."

The house is simple, and the facilities inside are even more shabby. Except for a table in the middle, there is no furniture.After Han Zhan sat down behind the table, Lin San walked to the door and called for someone to bring tea to Han Zhan.

Following Lin San's shout, a woman came in with an earthen pot in one hand and a bowl in the other.She walked to the table, put the bowl on the table, lifted the crock pot and poured water into the bowl.After pouring the water, he said in a rough voice: "Your envoy, please drink tea."

Han Zhan recognized that this was the most courageous woman who had been talking to Lin San, so he smiled at her and said politely, "Thank you, sister." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and put it on the table. teacup, and took a sip from it.

Seeing that Han Zhan was so approachable, the woman felt a lot less afraid of him, so she boldly asked, "Master, is it true that you said that you want to share the farmland with us?"

Han Zhan put down the tea bowl in his hand, and replied with a smile, "That's right, my envoy is here to invite you all to go to the county town, choose a suitable place for you, and then distribute the farmland to you."

"Of course it's good to be able to go to the county town," the woman said with a smile, "Unfortunately, I grow broomcorns, radishes and other vegetables outside the stockade. Vegetables are grown outside the village, and chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are raised at home, so it’s really not easy to move.”

After talking with the woman, Han Zhan realized that he thought the problem too simply.He thought that as long as he followed Lin San to the village and talked about moving with the people in the village, everyone would happily follow him.In order to prevent people from falling here again, it is possible to burn down the stockade with a fire when leaving.But now it seems that everyone is not too keen on moving, and the original plan is a bit unworkable.

After careful consideration, Han Zhan decided not to take away the people in the cottage for the time being, but let them continue to live here.But before he left, he left a dozen cavalry behind. Apart from protecting the safety of the women and children in the village, he also had a secret mission, which was to find the treasures hidden by Heiyi and his confidants, so that they could be used when recruiting troops and horses in the future. use.

After finishing all this, Han Zhan took the rest of the cavalry to join Zhao Yun and the others.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the brigade marched along the official road to the county again.

When it was less than ten miles away from the county seat, the head of the village, who was leading the way with his infantry, suddenly saw a group of servant-like people surrounding the official road in front of him. He quickly stopped the team and sent a clever soldier to check it out.

"What's the matter, why did the team stop?" As soon as he sent the soldiers out, he heard someone behind him asking himself. He turned his head and saw that it was Qu Junhou Zhao Yun. , A group of people are surrounded on the official road ahead, and the little one has already sent someone to investigate."

Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this, turned his horse's head and turned back to Han Zhan's side, and reported to him, "Your Majesty, there is a group of people gathered on the official road ahead. I don't know why. The head of the village has already sent someone to check."

Although the soldiers who went to investigate hadn't come back yet, Han Zhan didn't think anything serious would happen so close to the county seat, so he said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, let's go and have a look." Clamp the horse's belly, and urge the horse to move forward.Zhao Yun was worried that something would happen to him, so he quickly followed with a few cavalrymen.

After approaching, Han Zhan saw a beautifully decorated carriage lying across the road in the middle of the road. The front end of the carriage was raised high, while the rear end fell on the road, and the two wheels leaned on the carriage in a figure-eight shape.It turned out that the axle was broken.Many people who look like servants are trying to lift the car body to replace the broken axle.

Seeing a few riders approaching, a man who looked like a young master came to welcome him, bowed his hands to Han Zhan and the others: "Everyone, Xiao Ke's carriage is broken, and the axle needs to be replaced here. I never thought of blocking your way, I hope you will Forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over in a hurry and said loudly: "My lord, we don't have a spare axle, and we can't replace it for the time being."

After the young master heard this, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and then he glared at the servant and said angrily, "Then what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and send someone to ride to the county town to buy it."

"Here!" The servant hurriedly agreed, and prepared to ride to the county town to buy axles.

"Don't worry, my lord," Han Zhan said in a friendly tone, "We have extra axles here, let's use them for you first." After finishing speaking, he ordered Patch behind him, "Go to the carriage behind, and get one. Get a spare axle."

Chapter 0042

Seeing Patch came with two coachmen carrying the axle, and offered to help replace the axle, the young master hurriedly bowed to thank him, and at the same time said: "Xiao Ke Zhen Yan is a member of Wuji, the son of the late Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi, Today, I sent my mother and sister-in-law to Yecheng, and passed by here. Unexpectedly, the axle broke, but fortunately, there is a son who is generous to help. Dare I ask your name!"

Han Zhan had never heard Zhen Yi's name before, and he didn't know what the other party's background was. Besides, we met by chance, and there was no chance to meet again in the future, so he just smiled and said lightly: "My surname is Han, and my name is Zhan, from Jizhou."

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yun heard the name mentioned by the other party, his face would be shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and asked, "Young Master Zhen, do you dare to ask if Lingtang is a person whose surname is Zhang, Changshan Zhending?"

Zhen Yan showed surprise on his face, looked at Zhao Yun and asked in surprise: "Who are you, and why do you know my mother's surname?"

Zhao Yun got off his horse, walked up to Zhen Yan, and said with a smile: "A certain surname is Zhao Mingyun, and his name is Zilong. He is from Changshan Zhending."
