Three Kingdoms King of the North

When Han Zhan saw the corporal standing up, he had to lean his body on the wooden crutches. He knew that his injuries were not serious. It would be good to be able to walk five miles of mountain roads, let alone fifty miles.Thinking of this, he turned around and brought his horse over, and said to the corporal leader in an orderly tone: "Get on the horse!"

"My lord, I can't do it, I can't do it!" The corporal leader gave Han Zhan his mount, waved his hands hurriedly, and said nervously, "Aren't you breaking the villain's life by doing this?"

"Where are you talking so much nonsense, get on your horse!" After Han Zhan said this, he ordered the other two wounded soldiers standing beside the corporal leader: "What are you still doing, why don't you help your corporal leader get on the horse?"

Under the envious eyes of everyone, the corporal rode on Han Zhan's mount.The man who was stabbed by the bandits and suffered from his injuries all night without yelling out the pain, his eyes were reddened, and he kept raising his hand to wipe away the hot tears running down his face.

Han Zhan took the reins of the horse with a natural expression, raised his right hand again, and shouted loudly: "Let's go!" Then he waved his hand forward violently, led the horse and walked out of the village.Hundreds of officers and soldiers and civilian husbands pushing wheelbarrows also lined up neatly and filed out of the gate of the village.

Seeing what Han Zhan did, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched violently, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: "After this incident, these soldiers will probably serve him wholeheartedly." Said After that, he flicked the rein and followed.

After a long journey of more than two hours, the team led by Han Zhan finally returned to Sheguo County.

After hearing the news, Xun Yu hurried out of the city to greet him. Seeing that Han Zhan was actually leading a horse for a corporal leader, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.He called Han Zhan aside and said in a low voice, "Zhan'er, how can you lead a horse for a corporal when you are a majestic decree related to the country? If it gets out, it will not be good for your reputation."

Regarding Xun Yu's accusation, Han Zhan just smiled lightly, without making any excuses.Instead, he asked, "Uncle, do you know if there is any news from Zilong?"

"Weigang from Zhao County sent an envoy to report." Hearing Han Zhan's question about Zhao Yun, Xun Yu said emotionally, "It is said that they broke through five villages in two days, beheaded more than two hundred bandits, and about a thousand surrendered. The large amount of money and food seized is enough for us for a year or two."

"Where is the envoy?" Hearing that Zhao Yun's battle results were so brilliant, Han Zhan couldn't wait to ask: "I want to ask how the situation is at Zilong's place."

"The envoy is Xia Houyun, the righteous sister of County Lieutenant Zhao," Xun Yu quickly replied, "She is currently in the county government office."

Han Zhan stood by the side of the road and waited for a while, when he saw Guo Jia and Dian Wei riding their horses, he raised his voice and said to them, "Brother Feng Xiao, Lord Dian Jun, send all the things you brought back to the barracks first. Wait for me to deal with it later." When the two agreed and were about to leave, he thought of another thing and quickly added, "Remember, let the doctor in the army treat the wounded immediately, there must be no mistakes. "

After explaining the matter, Han Zhan turned to Xun Yu and said, "Uncle, let's go back to the county government office."

On the way, Xun Yu also reported to Han Zhan: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot. Team Luo has already arrived at the cottage and brought back all the family members who stayed there. For now, I will temporarily resettle them all." In the backyard of the county government." He was deeply afraid that Han Zhan would be worried about his own safety, so he specially emphasized, "I have sent enough people to watch secretly, and they can't make trouble."

Chapter 0076 Master and Servant Reunited

In the main hall of the county government, Han Zhan saw Xia Houyun who was tired but excited.

Xia Houyun was walking back and forth in the main hall with his helmet in his hand. When he saw Han Zhan and Xun Yu coming in, he quickly put the helmet on his head, greeted him quickly, and bowed his hands to Han Zhan: "Xia Houyun sees the envoy Jun!"

"Miss Xiahou is free!" Han Zhan was eager to understand Zhao Yun's situation, and after reaching out to help him, he asked anxiously: "Miss Xiahou, I just heard about your situation from the county magistrate Xun, can you send Zhao Yun back?" The situation at the county lieutenant's place, can you repeat it in detail to the envoy?"

"Your Majesty," Xia Houyun said respectfully, "The first village we attacked was called Qingyun Village. Before the war, my sworn brother sent people to the village to persuade him to surrender, hoping that the other party could only submit to him on his own initiative. Who Knowing that the bandit leader not only refused to surrender, he also killed our envoy and sent someone to send his head back. Seeing that the bandit refused to surrender, Brother Yi immediately commanded the army to attack the village.

Don't look at the vicious appearance of the bandits, but how can they compare with our well-trained soldiers.After fighting for less than half an hour, Brother Yi rushed into the village at the head of the mountain, killing those mountain bandits howling and howling."

Han Zhan waited for Xia Houyun's words to come to an end, and then interrupted and asked, "I don't know how many beheads, how many were captured, and how many casualties were there in the Qingyun village?"

Hearing Han Zhan's series of questions, Xia Houyun pondered for a while, and then reported accurately: "We beheaded a total of 150 people, seized 27 copper coins, and 56 hu of grain. We killed [-] people and injured [-] people."

When Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Miss Xiahou, on the way back to the county government, I once heard from the magistrate of Xun County that you beheaded more than 150 people in the past two days. Just destroying a Qingyun village, you beheaded [-] people." Level seven, that is to say, the other four villages were captured, and the number of bandits killed was no more than fifty?"

"Your guess is right." Xia Houyun nodded and said, "We only fought a tough battle in Qingyun village when we went out here. The other villages can be said to have surrendered in anticipation, without going through any major battles."

"Why do the bandits look forward to the wind?" Xia Houyun's words made Han Zhan feel puzzled. If the bandits are so unbearable, the previous county magistrates should have wiped them all out. Why have they been allowed to survive until now? , he continued to ask: "Could it be because of your battle at Qingyun Village that you frightened all the other bandits?"

"The Battle of Qingyunzhai did make our army famous, but it is not so easy to make the bandits surrender." Xia Houyun explained to Han Zhan: "The slave family thinks that the main reason may be because the brother-in-law defeated Sun Liang, the village owner of Jiusong Village. He is the chief village owner of several nearby villages. After being defeated by Brother Yi, he immediately surrendered sincerely and went to persuade other villages in person. Otherwise, we would not be able to do so within two days. Inside, go down to Wuzhai."

For Xia Houyun's statement, Han Zhan thinks it is very credible. He sees that Zhao Yun is brave, and there are Xiahou brothers and sisters with superb martial arts by his side. It is almost impossible to take down five cottages.

At this moment, Han Zhan became very interested in Sun Liang, the owner of Jiusong Village: "Miss Xiahou, what is the origin of this Sun Liang, and why did he willingly join our army?"

"Responding to Shijun, this Zhaizhu Sun used to be the captain of Anping County. Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, King Anping died at the hands of the Yellow Turban. He escaped by chance. Because he was worried that his boss would blame him, he could only wander around. When passing by under the village, I met the original village owner Jian Jing, who killed him with a knife, and was regarded as the new village owner by the minions." After Xia Houyun introduced Sun Liang's resume, he asked cautiously: "Brother Yi Let me come back and ask the envoy, are you willing to accept this person?"

"Do you want to accept this person?" Hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help interjecting and asked, "Miss Xiahou, what do you mean by that?"

"King Anping died at the hands of the Yellow Turban. As the captain of Anping County, Sun Liang cannot escape a capital crime." Xun Yu explained to Han Zhan on behalf of Xia Houyun: "I guess that if the envoy refuses to accept this person, he must Will go elsewhere."

"I understand." Han Zhan finally understood the meaning behind the sentence relayed by Xia Houyun, nodded quickly and said, "Miss Xiahou, please go back and tell Zhao Xianwei that King Anping died in the hands of the yellow scarf." , has nothing to do with Zhaizhu Sun. If he is willing to serve the envoy, the envoy welcomes him; if he is not willing, let him go."

Xia Houyun nodded to express that she had remembered what Han Zhan said, and just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered an important matter, and quickly added: "Master, I have something to report to you, and I almost reported it to you." .”

"What's the matter?"

"According to Village Master Sun, the Yellow Turban bandit Qu Shuai Lan Erqi who led the troops to attack the city some time ago was imprisoned in the village. He is willing to present this person as a gift to the envoy."

"The leader of the yellow turban thief, Qu Shuai, has been caught?!" Hearing that the leader of the yellow turban thief who had been missed at the beginning fell into the hands of Sun Liang, Han Zhan couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Xia Houyun: "Miss Xiahou, you return to the army immediately." In the middle, tell County Captain Zhao to immediately send this thief to Sheguo County."

Xun Yu waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, and immediately asked anxiously, "I don't know how the envoy intends to deal with this thief?"

Han Zhan couldn't help being furious when he thought of the village that had been poisoned by the yellow turban thieves. He gritted his molars and said viciously, "I will execute him Ling Chi, cut him [-] knives, and let him die of torture."

"What is Ling Chi?" Unexpectedly, Xun Yu looked at Han Zhan with a blank face, and said in puzzlement, "Please forgive me for your shallow knowledge, I have never heard of such punishment."

Han Zhan remembered that although Ling Chi was often heard of in later generations, but now, this kind of punishment should be called by another name, otherwise how could even the well-informed Xun Yu not know it.Therefore, he could only explain to him with gestures: "It is the kind of punishment that cuts the flesh and bones, cuts off the limbs, and cuts the throat."

Xun Yu listened to Han Zhan's explanation for a long time, and finally suddenly realized, he nodded quickly and said, "I understand, what Shi Jun said was the punishment of punishment."

Two days later, Xia Houyun returned to the county seat again.This time she didn't come back alone, she was accompanied by the former Anping county Weisun Liang who had just surrendered, and the two of them led a team of county soldiers to escort the captured yellow scarf thief Qu Shuailan Erqi back.

Hearing that Qu Shuai, the Yellow Turban thief, had been captured, people from the backyard of the county government also ran out to watch the excitement.For their actions, Han Zhan did not stop them, but let them go. Anyway, he was going to take this vicious yellow scarf thief to parade in the street later, so it was nothing to let the people in the county government watch it now.

Xia Houyun and Sun Liang walked into the lobby side by side, and bowed to Han Zhan: "My subordinates will see the envoy!"

"You two are free of courtesy, you have worked hard all the way." After Han Zhan returned the gift to the two, he asked anxiously, "Where is the yellow scarf thief Qu Shuai now?"

Sun Liang turned to face the outside of the hall, and shouted loudly: "Bring him up!" Following Sun Liang's shout, two big-armed county soldiers dragged Lan Erqi, who was tied up and had a broken tendon, from Walked in outside.

Han Zhan looked at Lan Erqi, who was kneeling below, and saw that this person was disheveled and ragged, and he was not interested in looking any further.He waved his hand, and told the yamen guards on both sides: "Put him in the prison first, and in the afternoon, he will be escorted to parade in the street."

Just when Lan Erqi was dragged out of the lobby by several yamen servants, suddenly a woman in a blue floral apron rushed into the main hall from outside.Han Zhan saw clearly that the person who came was Aunt Gui, and he couldn't help frowning, wondering why she was so unruly, could you just break into this county government hall?

Before he had an attack, he heard Aunt Gui staring at Sun Liang intently and asking in a trembling voice, "Are you Sun County Captain Sun?"

Sun Liang was very surprised to see a young woman standing in front of him and asked if he was County Captain Sun, so he sized her up carefully.After a while, his whole body was shaken, he took a few steps back, and then stood there in a daze, staring at the other party with his eyes motionless.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Seeing his dazed look, Xia Houyun who was standing next to him quickly pushed him with his hand, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't lose your composure in front of the envoy!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Liang ignored her at all, but walked quickly to the woman, knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to her repeatedly, and said: "Former Wei Sun Liang of Anping County, pay homage to the Lord!"

Chapter 0077 New plan

Sun Liang's actions stunned everyone present.

Han Zhan never dreamed that such a bloody thing would happen in his lobby.He stared at the two of them dumbfounded, recalling the address he just heard: "Master Weng" in his mind!Isn't the Weng Lord equivalent to the "Princess Lord" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties?Could it be that this woman who works as a cook in the cottage is really like she joked at the beginning, is she a relative of the Han family?

Sun Liang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Aunt Gui.Aunt Gui didn't speak, but just lifted up her blue floral apron and kept wiping away her tears.

"I really didn't expect that this Aunt Gui was actually a clan member of the Han Dynasty." Xun Yu, who was standing aside, murmured, "This is really unexpected."

"Uncle," Han Zhan heard Xun Yu's words, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what's going on?"

Xun Yu twirled his beard and said thoughtfully: "Miss Xiahou said two days ago that the village master Sun used to be the captain of Anping County, and he also called Aunt Gui the Weng Lord. Anping King Liu Xu who was killed by the Yellow Turban Bandit has some origins."
