Chapter 40 Looking for brothers and sisters to attack the thief
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were very moved when they heard what Liu Zhang said. Zhao Yun was born loyal and naturally had no other thoughts, but Xia Houlan was different. He had been utilitarian since he was a child. Although he has hidden his utilitarianism now, with Liu Zhang's
How could he not see this? However, Liu Zhang didn't care, after all, his target was Zhao Yun, and Xia Houlan was just hunting rabbits!
Zhaojiacun was actually not far from the mountain where Liu Zhang and others practiced martial arts. The group of people worked hard and arrived at their destination in just two hours. But when they arrived, everyone was dumbfounded. Zhaojiacun, which was not originally prosperous, turned out to be even more dilapidated.
Many houses were razed to the ground, including Zhao Yun's family!
"What...what's going on..." Zhao Yun panicked. He lost his parents when he was young, and it was his brother who raised him. What's more, one of his most beloved little sisters has also disappeared!
"Are you..." The old man next to him might be Zhao Yun's neighbor. Seeing Zhao Yun getting angry beside the ruins, he immediately came over to ask. There were many more enthusiastic people in ancient times than in modern times!
"Uncle Zhao, I am Xiaoyun!" Zhao Yun knew the old man and immediately asked: "What happened to the village? What happened to my family? Where are my brother and my sister?"
"Oh! Xiaoyun! Where have you been all these years!" Uncle Zhao said with a sad face: "Forget it! Let's not talk about this for now! Your brother and your sister were kidnapped by bandits on a nearby mountain!"
"What?!" Zhao Yun's eyes immediately turned red. He grabbed Uncle Zhao's hand and said, "Uncle, which mountain is the robber?"
"They are the same group of people who used to come to our Zhaojia Village to rob us!" Uncle Zhao said: "They don't know why they are crazy. They used to only rob food, but last time they came, they actually robbed people! Young and strong women,
Not only our village, but also many people in neighboring villages were robbed..."
"What about Fan Juan?" Xia Houlan quickly asked for a name.
"Fan Juan?" Uncle Zhao said, "You are talking about the little girl next door to Xiaoyun's house! She seems to have been robbed, because after our village was robbed, I never saw her again!"
"Damn bandits!" Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were angry. Xia Houlan said: "Zilong, how about we pick out that damned copycat?"
"Okay!" Zhao Yun said angrily: "Aren't we learning martial arts just to protect the village and our families? These damn bandits!"
"Wait!" Liu Zhang stopped Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan.
"Third Senior Brother, don't stop me!" Xia Houlan said: "We have been bullied by those bandits since we were children. We used to grab some food and use, so we didn't care about them. After all, they didn't hurt anyone, but this time,
They actually..."
"I didn't say I wanted to stop you. On the contrary, I want to go with you, but are we going like this?" Liu Zhang was very depressed. He remembered that in the legend, Tong Yuan gave Zhao Yun a very powerful gun and a white horse.
But now that Tong Yuan is gone, Mao is not left behind.
In fact, it’s not Tong Yuan’s fault. Originally, Tong Yuan was a direct disciple of Zhao Yun. Now he is Zhang Ren and Xia Houlan. If you want to get weapons and horses, you have to get them both. Tong Yuan can’t favor one over the other! For Liu Zhang, Tong Yuan
Yuan Yuan has spent a lot of savings, he must save some for retirement! Besides, Liu Zhang's father is the local emperor of Youzhou, and his brother is the current emperor. What good horses and weapons can't be found? Therefore, Tong Yuan has no
Get Zhao Yun horses and weapons.
Hearing what Liu Zhang said, Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun realized that they were unarmed. Running recklessly to provoke the bandits was no different from sending them to death. Zhao Yun touched his head with his hands and felt a little embarrassed. Xia Houlan said: "
Third Senior Brother, there is a blacksmith in the village who can also make weapons, we can just go to him and get some weapons!"
"It's unclear whether the blacksmith was kidnapped or not!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Besides, how skilled are the blacksmiths in your village? If the weapon breaks while killing the robbers, wouldn't it be troublesome?"
"This..." Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan were also a little anxious. They asked: "Third senior brother, what do you say, we all listen to you!"
Liu Zhang nodded and asked Uncle Zhao: "May I ask, how many days have those villagers been kidnapped?"
Uncle Zhao saw that Liu Zhang was not like an ordinary person, so he immediately stood up and replied: "Two or three days!"
"Well! If they were just kidnapped, they would have to be very quick. It has been two or three days now. All the damned ones are dead, and the ones who are not dead are not here." Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Shi A, you take it.
My letter is to go to Changshan County and ask the governor for a batch of weapons. The more the better! Huang Xu, go buy some food and be quick!"
Zhao Yundao: "Third senior brother, just bring us weapons. There is no need to buy food!"
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Even if you are eager to save people, you have to eat and drink enough, right? If you fail to save people and trap yourself instead, you will harm others! Remember, no matter what you do, you must first
Only by protecting yourself can you protect your family. If you are here, others are still afraid of you, but if you are not there, what else will others be afraid of? Don’t be impatient in doing things, as haste leads to waste in everything!"
Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were stunned after hearing Liu Zhang's words, and then said in unison: "Thank you, Third Senior Brother, for your teaching!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "My brother, why are you so polite! Take a rest quickly, wait for Huang Xu and Shi A to come back, we will set off according to the situation!"
Any official who can serve as a county guard is not a well-rounded person. When Changshan County Sheriff heard that Liu Zhang wanted to suppress the bandits, he immediately prepared a cart of weapons and armor for them, along with a few good horses and more than a thousand troops.
When Shi A brought these people and guys back to Zhaojiacun, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's eyes widened.
After eating and drinking, and resting for a night, Liu Zhang and others put on the armor sent by the Changshan County Governor and drove to the lair of the bandits who robbed Zhaojia Village. Since Xiahoulan and Zhao Yun were from Changshan, there was no need for a guide.
At the foot of the mountain, Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning as he looked at the dangerous mountain. He could see that this mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention that there were only a thousand men sent by Changshan County Sheriff. Even if Huang Zhong sent ten thousand people to come, he would only be able to defeat the enemy.
Can get a miserable victory.
Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Huang Xu, you stay at the foot of the mountain and command the troops. Any bandits who escape from the mountain will be killed!"
"Yes!" Huang Xu was sick in childhood and his martial arts skills were the worst among Liu Zhang and others. However, due to Huang Zhong's teachings at that time, his ability to command troops was slightly worse than Zhao Yun and Liu Zhang, and on par with Zhang Ren.
As for Shi A, he is a knight and cannot be compared with a general.
"Eldest brother, Zilong, Shi A, Xiahoulan, how about we go up the mountain to find those bandits for fun?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The five of us riding through the mountain can be regarded as the first battle down the mountain!"
Zhang Ren nodded. The so-called "art masters" are bold and some robbers are not in his eyes. When Zhang Ren was with Tong Yuan, he also picked many bandits and robbers' villages. At that time, Zhang Ren was still a child, and Tong Yuan
His figure made him envious. Now that he has learned a lesson, he will naturally not be afraid of robbers. As for Shi A, he and Zhang Ren have similar thoughts, while Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are eager to save people.
"There are people attacking the mountain!" Just as Zhao Yun and others rushed up the mountain, some bandits had already reported the matter to the leader of the village.
"What?" The leader of the village was shocked. He had been setting up a stronghold here for many years, and the government troops had failed in several encirclement and suppression campaigns. When he first heard that someone was attacking the stronghold, he thought that the government troops were coming again. The leader asked in a deep voice: "
How many people are coming? Who is the general?"
The subordinates reported back: "Five people are here, but there are no generals!"
"You're so funny!" The first master said with a sigh of relief: "It's only five people to scare you like this, don't they have three heads and six arms! Come here, call the second master, the third master, follow me out and talk about these guys
What a daring person!"
Just when the leader of the village gathered everyone in front of the village, Liu Zhang and others also rushed to the gate of the village. The village opened with a bang, and the leader stood at the door with hundreds of people and said with a smile: "Who do I think I am?"
You are so bold. It turns out that you are five young children. Do you know that you are looking for death? However, I think you are good at martial arts. If you stay and work as my subordinates, I will forgive your sins!"
The five Liu Zhangs looked at each other. Indeed, they were not very old. The eldest Shi Ah was only nineteen years old, and the youngest Xia Houlan was just over thirteen. But they were all disciples of Tong Yuan, how could some bandits be able to deal with them? Xia Hou
Lan was the youngest. As the saying goes: A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He pointed his spear at the head of the village and said, "Are you the one who kidnapped people in Zhaojia Village? Where are the people you kidnapped?"
"It turns out it's for those people!" The headmaster suddenly realized: "Those people! We make men do hard work, and women we use to warm the bed. As for the disobedient ones, I have already killed them!"
"You..." Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun's eyes turned red!
"Never mind! Kill them first, and then we'll look for them slowly!" Seeing that most of these bandits were not good people, Liu Zhang immediately made a decision: "Everyone, please pay attention, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"
Seeing five people coming to kill them, the headmaster licked his lips and said: "Go! Kill them for me! Tonight, we will use their meat to drink wine!"
Hearing the command from the leader, the thieves all rushed up. When Liu Zhang heard that these thieves actually ate human flesh, his eyes became cold and the spears in his hands became sharper. After a while, the bandits killed no less than a hundred people.
"First Master, these people are so powerful!" Second Master said: "If we let them kill for a while, we will lose everything we have worked so hard to gather."
The boss snorted coldly: "Originally I still have a love for talents, but since they don't know what is good for them, let them die! Second child, third child, we haven't moved our hands and feet for a long time!"
"Hehe!" The third master laughed and said, "I have wanted to do it for a long time, but if you don't tell me, boss, I don't dare to move!"
"Come on!" The eldest master shouted fiercely, leading the second master and the third master to rush towards Liu Zhang and the others.
Liu Zhang looked at the three thieves leaders and said with a smile: "Elder brother, Zilong, each of us will catch as many as possible alive!"
After hearing Liu Zhang's words, the big leader's eyes were filled with coldness. Originally, he wanted to capture Liu Zhang and others alive, but now for his majesty, Liu Zhang and others must die!
