It was raining heavily, and the sky was full of white water splashes.
More than ten men surrounded Zhao Hao, but no one dared to step forward. Zhao Hao did not move, but stood firmly at the door. The two sides were in a stalemate until more than a dozen figures penetrated through the heavy rain.
And out.
"Brother!" The young man in the lead looked very similar to Mr. Xing. When he saw the body in front of the door, he couldn't help but cry out in grief.
Behind him were Zhao Zhang and Zhao Lanlan who were bundled together. Each of them was carried on the shoulders of a man, with rags stuffed in their mouths. Their faces were bruised and swollen, and they were indescribable due to the rain.
Embarrassing, it seems that he suffered a lot when he was caught.
Zhao Hao raised his toes, took the blood-stained machete from Xing Benwu's side, firmly held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xing Benzhong, if you let my wife and daughter go, I will spare your life."
Xing Benzhong laughed miserably, stared straight at Zhao Hao, pulled out a long knife from his waist, wiped the rain on his face, and said gloomily: "What if I don't obey your order?"
Zhao Hao replied: "Did Lao Jia tell you brothers anything before leaving?"
Xing Benzhong chuckled, made a sword with his long knife, and without answering, directly inserted it into Zhao Zhang's waist. He only heard a miserable groan, and blood flowed out like a shot. It was washed away by the heavy rain, and the ground was covered with red.
Red blood.
Mrs. Zhao Zhang could not speak, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. Before she died, the direction she was looking at was not her husband, but her daughter who had been frightened to death.
"If I were you, I would never stab him like this." A cold voice reached Xing Benzhong's ears through the rain curtain.
Following the sound, a short spear shot through the air and penetrated a man's left eye exactly, going several inches deep. The tail of the pole was still buzzing as blood gushes out.
This man was carrying Zhao Lanlan on his shoulders. He fell to the ground and died without even making a sound. He threw the little girl into the muddy water, causing countless yellow muddy splashes to splash.
The second shot, the third shot...
Countless short spears were accurately inserted into the bodies of the men brought by Xing Benzhong. More than thirty men were lying on the ground in an instant.
A group of people walked out from the surrounding rain curtain. The leader was a short-built man with lively eyes and round facial features like a member of a wealthy family. He was none other than Liu Hui!
"Are you willing to show up?" Zhao Hao asked coldly.
From beginning to end, he never saw his wife's body, and rarely even noticed his daughter who fell into the muddy water.
Xing Benzhong's face suddenly turned pale with shock, and he shouted angrily: "Liu..."
Before he finished speaking, an ax came through the air and hit him on the neck. The person who threw the ax was a ten-year-old boy with a face full of scars. He was standing next to Liu Hui.
Blood splattered everywhere, Xing Benzhong's voice suddenly stopped, he tilted his head and fell into the mud.
In an instant, the blood was washed away by the rain, leaving only a faint red color on the ground.
"Master," the young man stepped over the pile of corpses, picked up Zhao Lanlan on the ground, and knelt in front of Zhao Hao, "Junior sister is fine."
Zhao Hao ignored him, just stared at Liu Hui and asked: "Defeated?"
Liu Hui walked into the house from his side, stepped on Xing Benwu's body, looked at the blood in the house, frowned, and sighed: "In the battle of Jinghe Town, seven thousand versus seven thousand, I won first and then lost;
In the battle of Chenjiadu, I joined forces with Lao Jia and we had 3,000 remnant soldiers, but we still suffered a complete defeat against 1,000 martial arts academy students. I regret not listening to what you said."
He found a place anywhere in the house, shook off the rainwater on his body, sat on the floor, took out a piece of hard dry food from his arms, took a few bites, and recounted the day's battle situation. After he finished speaking, he smiled and said : "Lao Jia is like a dog, looking for you everywhere."
Zhao Hao said coldly: "Why are you looking for me? Are you going to kill me like a dog?"...
Liu Hui laughed out loud and almost shed tears: "If we win the battle of Jinghe Town, he will really kill you. Now, let alone kill a few of his pawns, you will just raise his son Qian. Even if you are scratched, he will still treat you as a brother."
Zhao Hao looked at him and asked slowly: "What about you?"
Liu Hui shook his head: "I never wanted to kill you. Whether you believe it or not, I, Lao Liu, do things differently from your brothers and Lao Jia."
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "If you want me to trust you, you have to do three things."
Hearing this, Liu Hui threw away the hard piece of dry food and shouted to the door: "You bitch old Jia, stop pretending to be a turtle, Fengzi nodded."
In the heavy rain outside, a man suddenly walked in, it was Jia Mian'er. However, Xing Bendao was not followed behind him. Liu Zi, Widow Yang and other generals were actually alone.
"This was Boss Liu's idea," Jia Mian'er had a sly smile on her face. As soon as she entered the door, she sold Liu Hui, "Fengzi, don't blame me. Besides, you lost a wife, and the Xing family But two sons died."
Zhao Hao did not get entangled in this matter, but looked at Liu and Jia and said slowly: "The first one, from today on, all the brothers will be grouped into one battalion, named Shuntian, Brother Liu As the camp leader, Lao Jia and I are divided into camp deputies. We all listen to Brother Liu's orders. If there is anyone who disobeys, all the brothers will find him and kill him."
After saying this, he paused, as if waiting for a reply from the two of them.
Liu Hui frowned and said softly: "You and I, three brothers, have been sworn friends to Jinlan for more than ten years. We are as close as brothers. Why don't we set up three camp leaders, each leading his own troops, regardless of their size."
Jia Mian'er also said: "Boss Liu's words speak to my heart. Although Fengzi has no soldiers now, he has tens of millions of soldiers in his chest. We must not imitate the old things of Nawagang."
These words were extremely heartbreaking. Everyone knew the story of Zhai Rang and Li Mi in Wagangzhai, and it was obvious who Jia Mian'er was alluding to. Liu Hui's face suddenly changed color.
Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said: "There are only a few dozen people, but you want to imitate Master Li who has hundreds of thousands of troops and occupies Liyang. Lao Jia, you didn't study hard before, but now I'm afraid you have almost forgotten your own surname?" "
"Fengzi, you are a scholar. My old Jia is a rough man. I don't know a few Chinese characters." Jia Mian'er said with a smile. "I don't have the ability to drop my book bag with you. In my opinion, this is your first thing." , a bit suspenseful.”
Zhao Hao ignored him, just looked at Liu Hui and said in a deep voice: "If you don't have this intention, then kill me."
Liu Hui thought for a long time and said to Jia Mian'er: "How about you listen to the tune rather than the announcement?"
Listening to the tune but not the announcement is a common tactic used by storytellers, and they are talking about the biggest enemy in the faction. Liu Hui's move was regarded as giving in to the bottom line, and Jia Mian'er couldn't say anything more, so she could only hum.
Zhao Hao only wanted a name, so he did not dwell on the details and said: "The second thing is that anyone who commits adultery in the army will be punished by beheading; anyone who kills for no reason will also be punished by death. "
Liu Hui immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I have the final say on this matter, it's up to you!"
Jia Mian'er smiled bitterly and said: "Old Liu, your subordinates are all old brothers, but this good man is taking it lightly. Are you deliberately pushing me to be a villain?"
Before Liu Hui could speak, Zhao Hao continued: "I will issue your military pay, equipment, and weapons. If there is a slight delay, you can chop off my head."
Jia Mian'er laughed hoarsely and said: "Fengzi, there are hundreds of brothers. It's not enough to use your head to make soup and drink it. If there are tens of thousands of brothers in the future, if one of them takes a bite of your flesh, the last one will probably lose his roots."
No bones are visible."
Zhao Hao looked at him and replied coldly: "If I say yes, then yes!"
Jia Mian'er was so angry that he laughed, and asked sarcastically: "What about the third one? Let me wait for these rebels, and everyone will learn to be a gentleman, and take the exam to be a scholar?"….
Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "This third incident is really related to scholars and people. Whenever our soldiers pass by, they will move to Xiofu County to meet with officials, Confucian scholars and wealthy families. There is no need to run away, and there will be peace.
, Qiu has no fault!"
After finishing speaking, looking at Liu and Jia who were dumbfounded, they smiled and said: "It's good to be in harmony with nature, it's wonderful to be in harmony with nature. If you don't pay food or taxes, every family will laugh. If these two brothers follow these three things,
This song can spread all over the north and south of the river in a few days, and the brothers' inheritance will be 70% sure!"
Liu Hui was stunned for a long time, and then he exclaimed: "Fengzi, when we fight in battle, you are not as good as me; when we fight for the world, I am far inferior to you."
Jia Mian'er patted his head and said with a smile: "What a bastard, the first two things are so stinky that I even thought of cutting off your head with a knife, but I didn't want to go with this third one."
, your boy is comparable to Zhuge’s rebirth! Okay, my soldiers will listen to Boss Liu’s orders from now on. If you tell me not to kill people, I will never kill anyone. If any brother dares to kill people randomly, I will chop him with a knife!"
Liu Hui patted his shoulder and said, "Are you convinced now?"
Jia Yi'er giggled and said, "I'm really convinced, Fengzi, where do you think we should go?"
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and pointed to the southwest: "Hejian City!"
"Hejian?" Liu Hui frowned and said, "Hejian City is high and deep, with deep ditches and tight defenses. Before the battle in Jinghe Town, I sent hundreds of people to test it out, but there has been no reply. I am afraid that there are heavy troops. We are waiting for the initial defeat.
Together, the remaining soldiers are less than a thousand, how can we capture Hejian?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Hejian Mansion doesn't have any soldiers at all!" Seeing that the two people on the opposite side looked suspicious, he said: "There is only one general in Hejian, and seven thousand soldiers were abandoned in Jinghe Town. Then
Wang Qinian, the prefect, is the confidant of the Dog Emperor, and the surrounding prefectures and counties will not take the initiative to come to help. As for those young men from the martial arts academy who defeated you, they can use 7,000 people as bait, so why can't they give up a small prefect? I can't say
Fighting and chasing, we still have to fight side by side with these teenagers on both sides of the river."
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Even if there are soldiers, I can enter Hejian Fucheng alone. Two brothers, you might as well watch a good show."
Liu Hui and Jia Yi'er were amazed when they heard what he said. Some young military officers from the martial arts academy were colluding with him and riding into the city alone. Each was more terrifying than the other, but they just shook their heads in disbelief.
At this time, a shrill cry came from beside me: "Mother!"
Zhao Lanlan got up from the ground, threw herself into the heavy rain outside the door, found Mrs. Zhao Zhang's body, fell on her body, and cried bitterly.
Looking at Zhao Hao's eyes, the young man with scars on his face quickly knelt in front of him and said: "I saw that you guys had finished talking about important things, so I untied my junior sister..."
Zhao Hao kicked the young man to the ground and said angrily: "What a useless beast."
After saying that, he rushed out of the door. The rain became louder and his voice could not be heard. However, Zhao Lanlan's voice was softer and seemed to be comforting her daughter.
Jia Mian'er looked at the young man and said with a smile: "Zhang Tong, your master doesn't want you anymore, why don't you come with me?"
Liu Hui sighed and said to Jia Mian'er, "Can't you take some time off?"
The young man named Zhang Tong ignored them and just knelt on the ground again, motionless.
Liu Hui stretched out her hand, patted Zhang Tong's forehead, and whispered: "Let's go, your master didn't say anything, just asking you to follow me."
Zhang Tong then raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?"
