In the afternoon, several people had a good time on the mountain. They wanted to relax and sum up their experience. Zhao Mang and Zhao Ning had vomited before. At the same time, the brothers were also convinced by Zhao Yan's performance on the battlefield.
"Xiu'er, why did you let the bandit prisoners go without killing them? I don't think it was for what you said to Zhou Li and the others before." Lao Li finally asked.
Zhao Yan put away his smile and said calmly: "Actually, before I go home, my idea is to wipe out the cottage. First, we are safe. Second, our brothers can be used as training. Third, we can rescue the trapped people."
I want to capture the poor woman who lives in the village and make some money to spend. I want to make something special."
"Brother, you really know how to think about one thing. When can we take action?" Zhao Jie said with a smile.
However, Zhao Yan's face became colder and colder, and he continued: "I just went home and asked my mother. I know the cause of death of my father and my tenth brother, so I am not prepared to do this. I want to take these bandits for my own use.
Do what we want to do, and look for opportunities to take revenge."
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared. They all knew what Zhao Yan meant.
"Brother, we brothers share weal and woe. Whatever you say, we will do it." Zhao Lin and Zhao Kang were the first to respond.
"Yes! I listen to big brother." Zhao Fei and Zhao Hai also said.
Zhao Xiong, Zhao Mang, and Zhao Jie also nodded, indicating that they would obey Zhao Yan's instructions.
As for Xu He and the two girls, because their father was here, they naturally didn't say anything, but Lian'er kept looking deeply at Zhao Xi, and the meaning he expressed was naturally self-evident.
Zhao Yu was naturally very happy to see his brothers like this. As for Lao Li, Zhao Yu would not let him say anything.
"Did your mother tell you? Did she ask you to take revenge?" Lao Li asked quietly.
"I told you, but he refused to let me go, but I didn't say that I would go immediately. In the past two years, there has been chaos all over the border. Not to mention foreign enemies, the entire three states of northern Xinjiang are overrun with bandits, and even more so in the interior.
The uprising continues, I think as long as we don't cause big trouble, we won't suffer too big a blow. If we can't defeat the big ones, it won't be a problem to do a few small ones. Pingzhou, I will fight in sooner or later."
"Don't act recklessly. Not to mention the 5,000 troops in Pingzhou, there are 50,000 troops in Youzhou to control the north." Seeing how radical these people were, Lao Li quickly dissuaded them.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, it won't be like this in a short time. As the old saying goes: The emperor's anger will bury millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles; the common people's anger will bleed for five steps, and the world will be pure. The common people are angry, but they have the courage to kill the emperor and let the world
Silica,
What's more, there is nothing we can't do as long as we dare to do it." Zhao Yan touched the long sword on his waist and said. This long sword was bought in Le County. Youzhou is on the border here, and it is very common to carry weapons for self-defense.
Of course, a crossbow won't work.
A few words made several young people excited.
"Is there such an old saying?" Lao Li asked.
"Um, it's from "Warring States Policy"!" Zhao Yu said.
Lao Li took a deep look at Zhao Yan and then said: "Well, I also support you. He'er will act with you. If you need my help, as long as you don't dislike me, I will definitely help."
"That's good. Who dares to say that you are old? You are at the peak of your life now. When you killed the bandits earlier, I was very envious of your style, Uncle Li." Zhao Liu said happily.
"Yes, Uncle Li, you were really majestic just now, and your spear skills are really great!"
"Okay, don't give me soup anymore." Lao Li looked at Zhao Yan and others with a dumbfounded look.
"Let's go down the mountain. It's getting late and the wind is getting strong. Don't get sick too late."
Not long after the group returned home, Zhou Li, the village chief, and Wu Han, the leader of the township yong, came to Lao Li's house and said they had something to ask.
Lao Li and Zhao Yu looked at each other, and Lao Li said: "Yu'er, let's go and have a look together. This is what you want."
Lao Li and Zhao Yan came to the living room and found Zhou Li and Wu Han exchanging something. When they saw Lao Li coming out, they quickly stood up and said: "Chen Feng, Zhao Xiaoyingxiong, you are back." Zhao Yan heard this for the first time.
Say Lao Li's name.
"You two adults came to Li's place so late. What's the matter?"
Zhou Li said: "It's not just these bandits. At noon, Zhao Xiaoxiong said that he wanted to destroy the bandits' nest. Both Zhou and Commander Wu thought it was feasible, but..."
"What's wrong? Is there any problem? Since it's feasible, let's go and do it. I wonder what Li needs to do?"
"After our interrogation in the afternoon, we learned that there are more than 200 people left behind in the bandit's village. In addition, there are more than 300 family members of the bandits. There are more than 100 women who were captured by the bandits on the mountain, and more than 20 people.
They are the children of wealthy families in various villages and towns. Originally, these bandits
It was intended to be used to extort property. The cottage is located on the Wohu Mountain in the northeast. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is difficult to capture the village warriors in our town alone, not to mention that the village warriors in the town are not intact.
How many. So..." Wu Han said with a blushing face.
"Then tell the captain of Le County about the situation here. Aren't they responsible for the security of Le County? Let them send people!" Li Chenfeng asked pretending to be confused.
Zhou Li said with a wry smile: "Le County will not send people. It is said that in recent months, mountain bandits have caused chaos everywhere in Shunzhou and Yingzhou. The two prefectures have deployed troops from various counties to carry out encirclement and suppression, but the results are very poor.
We have also lost a lot of troops. I am afraid that the current Lieutenant of Le County will not send people to support us anymore. I would like to ask Chen Feng and a few young heroes to lead people to eliminate this group of bandits."
Li Chenfeng didn't know what to do, so Zhao Yu said: "We are just ordinary people. If bandits invade, it's okay to protect our homeland. But if we lead people to encircle and suppress bandits, if we fall into the eyes of someone with a heart, the result will not be good."
Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we have already considered this. Chen Feng and Little Hero are now deputy commanders, and I have completed the procedures."
Zhao Yan shook his head and continued: "It's okay if we take people there, but there are a few things that we need to make clear first. If it's okay, Uncle Li and I will agree to be the commanders of the Yong Mansion in the town and the countryside. If it's not okay, then we will treat it as nothing.
This is what happened."
"Say." When Zhou Li saw the looks of Zhao Yan and Li Chenfeng, he knew that the young man named Zhao was the one who made the decision.
"First, I want all the prisoners, I need them to do things for me; second, I need to gather some young men who are willing to be bandits, they have to be voluntary, there is no limit on the number. I will choose some more suitable people. Third,
I want everything in the bandit's lair."
"This..." Zhou Li frowned when he heard this. He thought that Zhao Yu was too greedy and wanted to monopolize the village's finances. Zhou Li knew from the bandit prisoners that there was a lot of money there.
Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Sir, please listen to me first. Due to the invasion and harassment of Mohe and Wei Shi at the beginning of the year, Linzhou and Yanzhou were deserted for hundreds of miles, and most of the people in the two places became thieves and bandits. Even I
Yingzhou also suffered greatly. The total number of bandits in Yingzhou was no less than ten thousand. In the future, the number of bandits increased. After the small villages were looted, bandits
In order to survive, it is natural to choose a larger town. For example, we were almost attacked this time. Secondly, we wiped out a group of bandits, and other bandits will naturally regard us as their primary target, and their defense power is not strong.
, after another killing, it must be easier to defeat. Plus there are no reinforcements, then..."
"This..." Zhou Li and Wu Han suddenly looked ugly.
"The reason why I do this is to use the money to train some local warriors for the town so that we can protect our home from being attacked next time. I believe that after my training, there will be no problem in protecting the town. If the adults don't agree,
, I think it’s better to forget it,
I don’t want to provoke bandits chasing me everywhere. In two days we will move to Le County or Yingzhou City and still live a comfortable life. Although we are reluctant to leave the town where we have lived for several years, compared to our lives, this is
It's nothing. What do you think, sir?" Zhao Yan asked rhetorically.
"This...this..." Zhou Li rubbed his forehead and didn't know what to do. At this moment, he no longer cared about money, he only wanted to save his life.
"This time, more than 300 people were killed or injured in the town. This is the result of Zhao Yu and other manpower turning the tide. If we come again next time, then..."
"Sir, promise him. Anyway, we have nothing to lose. If the bandits come again next time, we will have nothing..." Wu Han said hurriedly. Commander Xiangyong is also a kind of military attaché and cannot leave at will.
Those who govern the territory will not be able to escape when the time comes. Even if they escape, under the influence of thoughtful people, they may have to flee to the end of the world.
"Okay! I agree. Early tomorrow morning, you two will go to the threshing floor on the west side of the town to select people. I will let all the young people go." Zhou Li agreed.
After Zhou Li and the others left, Li Chenfeng said with a smile: "You got what you wanted, but what if bandits attack?"
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "One group of bandits was wiped out. The other bandits were first frightened, then they wanted to inquire about the situation, and finally made a decision whether to take advantage. After they investigated the situation and wanted to take advantage, I would have already
I'm ready. By the way, Uncle Li, now that the action has begun, we need to make some preparations. The most basic thing is that we need food, and there won't be only a few. I hope Uncle Li can help me get some. There should be money in the bandit's lair.
It’s time to trouble Uncle Li to buy grain.”
“The price of food is not low now!”
"Uncle Li, don't worry. It's better to have more than less of this thing, otherwise it will cause trouble."
"Okay, I'll let Butler Zhao take care of this. Besides, I still have food in stock at home, so I'll provide you with one thousand dan."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Li."
Zhao Yu returned to the backyard, found the brothers, and after telling them his plan, he asked everyone to rest early and prepare for tomorrow.
When Zhao Xi was about to take a rest, Xu Qinlian (Lian'er) came to Zhao He's side.
"Lian'er, do you have something to do with me?"
"I heard from my brother that you are going to clear out the bandits tomorrow?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Xu Qinlian looked at Zhao Xi worriedly, blushed and whispered, "I'm a little worried."
"It's okay, just relax, I will return smoothly." Zhao Yan comforted, feeling very touched. In his previous life, except for his adoptive father and his friend, no one had ever worried about him, but now there are many people
Take care of yourself.
"Well, you must be careful, I...I and everyone are very worried about you." After saying that, he left with a blushing face.
“It’s great that someone cares!”
"Don't worry, I, Zhao Nian, will never let you down. Don't worry, I will do something big and let those who have hurt us get their due end." Zhao Nian shouted secretly.
