The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

The clouds were light and the wind was light, and the sky was gradually gloomy. The howling north wind is like an assassin hiding a blade.

There was a sudden movement in the distance to the west, and Ah Xing, who was in charge of monitoring a hundred paces away, hurriedly ran back, alarming the children who were resting behind the hills, and everyone cheered up and raised their swords. Ah Xing climbed the hill to find Zu Zhao, Zu Fan and the others, and said with a little eagerness while pointing in the direction of

the west: "Eldest prince, there are people from the west. Not a lot of people.

When Zu Zhao and the others heard this, they were all a little surprised. The west side is the direction they came, Zu Li and more than a dozen other ancestral family disciples are lurking there, how can they easily let people come at this time? Zu Zhao straightened up and walked to the west, standing on the slope of the hill and looking up, he saw the figures of more than a dozen knights running at the end of the woods in the distance, and the dust was flying behind him, showing a kind of urgency.

"Who are they?" Gongsun Long pressed the sword in one hand and said with a frown.

"They all look like they're all armed." Zu Fan squinted his eyes for a while, but said in a tone that was not nervous.

If you carry a regular blade, you are obviously not a thief.

"Look, is that Third Brother Zhao?" The comer was getting closer and closer, and Zu Xing suddenly pointed at the leader and shouted.

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Third Brother Zhao is also a child of the ancestral family, and he was originally a team that followed Zu Li's West Road, but he came over somehow at this time. Moreover, there are at most about a dozen people in the team on the West Road, and there are even more than a dozen people on the West Road at this time, so where did they come from?

It didn't take long for the group of knights to get closer and closer. Zu Zhao quickly recognized that the leader was indeed Zhao San, and the others who followed Zhao San were mostly men in soap clothes. A few of them are dressed in ordinary attire, carrying swords and bows, and may either be a doorman under the fence or a hunter.

"Hey, how can there be an official errand?" Zu Fan was in an official position, and he recognized the identity of those soapy men at a glance.

"Could it be that County Lieutenant Wen and they rushed over?" Zu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Impossible, I discussed with Lord Wen earlier, in order to cover up our whereabouts, we will not wear official uniforms." Zu Fan shook his head and said.

"Who could that be?" Gongsun Long was puzzled.

"It seems to be the errand of the county government of this county." At this time, Han Dang said unhurriedly.

"How so?" Gongsun Long was surprised. Everyone knew that Han Dang was being wanted by the county at the moment, and they were all worried.

"It's okay, if I, Han, were really a person who was captured, I wouldn't be with you today." Han Dang said as if nothing had happened, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Brother Han, don't worry," Zu Zhao, who didn't speak much, said in a calm tone, "Under Brother Han's promise, I will never break my promise." However, it was determined that these people were definitely not coming for Brother Han.

"How so?" Gongsun Long asked.

Zu Zhao didn't say much, although Han Dang's identity Zu Li didn't know, but with Zu Li's discernment, he should also know how to distinguish priorities. At this time, everyone will gather together in full armor to start the action in an hour or two, how can it be at this time because of a small loss? In addition, yesterday, the Xu Wu County Government had already sent an official notice announcing the news of the horse robbery case, so that the Zhixian side was already aware of the matter, and at this moment, these officials should know what was going on when they saw the children of the ancestral family who were fully armed. Take 10,000 steps back and say, how could the Lingzhi County Government know that Han Dang was here?

In a few moments, Zhao San and the soap-clothed knight approached, and they immediately slowed down their horses after seeing the people of the ancestral family on the hill.

Arriving at the bottom of the hill, Zhao San jumped off the horse first, and ran to Zu Zhao and the others in three or two steps.

Without waiting for Zhao San to speak, Zu Fan preemptively asked, "Why are you here?" Are they from the Lingzhi County Government?

Zhao San nodded and said hurriedly: "Exactly, these people are all the servants of the Lingzhi County Officials." The eldest son, something happened, the situation has changed, Ah Cheng them..."Speaking of this, he didn't mention it in one breath.

At this time, the officials in soap clothes also dismounted one after another, and walked over under the guidance of a leader.

The leader is already in his old age, his body is thin, and although he is dressed as a martial artist, it is difficult to hide the temperament of a literati. Taking advantage of Zhao San's sentence, he strode forward, bowed to Zu Zhao and the others, and said, "I am ordering Cao Tianxian to serve in the county." I came here by the order of the county magistrate of this county, and I dare to ask which one is the eldest son of the ancestor?

Zu Zhao took a step forward and saluted: "Down there is Zu Zhao." I don't know where Lord Tian came from?

Tian Xian looked at Zu Zhao carefully for a while, and said slowly: "This county has received an official document from Chen Xianjun yesterday, and the matter is too big to be reckless, and this county has been under martial law since yesterday. In this issue, after meeting with Chen Xianjun, and then making a detailed discussion, unexpectedly, there were some accidents at noon today, several children of Guizhuang were injured and fled to the East Market, one of them died of serious injuries, unfortunately died. After the matter was reported to the county government, we immediately went to pick it up. Hearing

this, everyone's faces changed.

The "several disciples" mentioned in Tian Xian's mouth are obviously Zu Cheng, Zu Bao, Zu Zhong and others.

In the early morning, I heard that Zu Cheng and others rashly went to investigate the thief's situation at night, which was already worrying, but I didn't expect the worry to come true, and they were really plotted by the thief. Thinking that many people had died in the horse robbery case, and that another young man had unfortunately died at this time, everyone present sighed and was very sad.

Gongsun Long looked at Zu Zhao, and he was shocked to find that at this time, Zu Zhao could still stay calm, except for frowning, there was no wave on his face. He just wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he was interrupted by Tian Xian.

After a pause, Tian Xian continued: "Please rest assured, the rest of the injured have been properly placed now, and there is no danger of their lives." In addition, several injured people also specially relayed the news about the thieves, saying that the thieves were indeed hiding in Lin Zhong, but there were many of them, nearly half of the riders, far more than the more than 40 people found before.

Zu Fan blurted out: "What?

On the side, Zhang Yu couldn't help but scold: "Could it be that the king and the thief deliberately deceived me?" Hmph, after I go back, I will definitely cut this thief with a thousand knives, and it is not a pity for such a thief to die. Han

Dang, Zhang Yuan and others all have varying degrees of color change, they did not expect that there would be many uncertain accidents in this trip, including the specific number of thieves, so they naturally would not easily believe Wang Zheng's one-sided words. But even if he had such a mind, he never expected that the real situation would be so wrong, not only the number of thieves far exceeded more than 40 people, but even half of the riders!

Zu Zhao's eyebrows frowned a little deeper, although he couldn't determine what the situation was now, but he could believe that Wang Zheng was not lying, and it would not do him any good to lie in Wang Zheng's current situation, and Wang Zheng was definitely not a superstitious defender, so it was naturally impossible to make self-sacrifice in order to "take care of the so-called overall situation". The only thing he could speculate about was that in the past two days, there was another wave of thieves.

But why are there so many riders? If it is really a rider, it obviously means that these thieves are extraordinary, and what will their real actions be?

Zu Fanqiang held on to his confidence and asked Tian Xian, "How many thieves are there?"

Tian Xian sighed and said, "According to them, there are as few as sixty or seventy people, and as many as more than a hundred. There

was a murmur among the crowd at once, and the number of thieves had doubled in vain, which did not bode well. The children of the ancestral family and the rangers of Anyang Pavilion who came to encircle and suppress the thieves this time were only more than 130 people in total, although they were well-armed and equipped, they could be divided into four in order to avoid looking for a needle in a haystack, and the least suspicious team was only a dozen people. If the thief sees through the suspicious tactics, or goes head-to-head with any team, the advantages and disadvantages will be immediately apparent.

I'm afraid that if I can't suppress the thieves this time, I will be counterattacked by the thieves.

Tian Xian then said: "I was ordered to come here, just to hope that the ancestor Gongzi can quickly pass it on, gather all the righteous people of Guizhuang to temporarily retreat to the county seat, and wait until you and I have a countermeasure in the two counties, dispatch officers and soldiers, and then wipe out the thieves."

Zhang Yuan, Han Dang, Zu Fan and others all set their eyes on Zu Zhao, waiting for Zu Zhao to reply.

Zu Zhao was only silent for a moment, and then asked Tian Xian: "The thief has been alarmed, and he should retreat as soon as possible." But when I arrived here in the afternoon, I didn't encounter any suspicious person. It is not difficult to imagine that the thieves are still hiding in it at this time. is so arrogant, either an outlaw or something else.

Zu Fan and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, and it took a while before they suddenly came over.

The forest covers a wide area, and the thieves only attacked Zu Cheng, Zu Bao and others at noon, and if they retreat, I am afraid it will take a while to travel, after all, half of the thieves do not have mounts.

If it is calculated in this way, when the thieves fled north, Zu Zhao led the team to arrive at that time, and he would inevitably see the end of the thief brigade on the wasteland Gobi; To the east is the official road, which is easy to attract attention; Thirty miles to the south is the county seat of Lingzhi, and no matter how stupid the thief is, he will not choose this road; To the west, it is even more impossible, and it will directly collide with the ancestral team.

Tian Xian narrowed his eyes, although he didn't care about Zu Zhao's first half of the words, he realized the importance of the other party's last sentence. The thief has already startled the snake, but he still did not rush to escape, which is really not a simple matter. After pondering for a while, he still said: "Ancestor Gongzi, I understand what you mean, but even so, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I can't act rashly. In my opinion, we have to think about it in the long run.

Zu Fan on the side also said: "Eldest son, the number of thieves is unknown, the plan has changed, it is better to withdraw first." "

Zu Zhao will not be stubborn, but if he withdraws at this time, I wonder if the thieves hiding in Lin Congzhong will take the opportunity to escape. He didn't wait for this opportunity for a day or two, and he couldn't afford to miss anything.

Raising his eyes to look in the direction of Lincong, another thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said in a decisive tone: "We can not enter the forest for the time being, but we must surround all sides." Just because the thief doesn't run away at this time doesn't mean he won't run away tonight. Even if the thieves try to hold on to the jungle, we can force them to flee. This time, I will avenge the unfortunate death of the clansmen in the village, and I will never let go of a thief. Hearing

Zu Zhao's arrangement, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, but they are afraid that the eldest prince will stick to the original plan if he has a brain fever for a while, and if he doesn't do it well, it will cause more serious losses. When it comes to revenge, the children of the ancestral family present all have a bloody impulse, so they also agree with the eldest prince's plan to stay behind and besiege the thieves. When the thief appears, from dark to light, everyone still has the certainty of a head-on fight, how can the children of the Jiangmen family be afraid of a group of rabble, even if they are one against ten.

Tian Xian was a little surprised that Zu Zhao had no fear and made such a decision very quickly. It's not that he hasn't heard of Zu Zhao's reputation, but considering that the other party is a sixteen-year-old boy after all, how can he have such a chic demeanor and posture?

He was silent for a while, suddenly laughed, and bowed his hand to Zu Zhao again: "I have heard that the eldest prince of Zu 'but make the dragon city fly general, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain', but today we can meet each other, and it really lives up to its name." Tian was very impressed.

Zu Zhao was not surprised or pleased, but still returned the courtesy humbly, and said: "Lord Tian has a good reputation, and the younger generation is ashamed."

Tian Xian nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, before Tian went out of the city, someone had told him that his grandfather would never evacuate easily. Even so, Tian could only rush back to the county seat first, explain the matter to the county lord, and urge him to ask for help from Lu Longsai's official army as soon as possible. Before the reinforcements arrived, I asked my grandfather to be more careful.

Zu Zhao couldn't help but be a little surprised, he first didn't expect Tian Xian's attitude to change so quickly, and he didn't expect that there would be people in Lingzhi County who were unpredictable and predicted that he would not retreat easily. He bowed his hand to Tian Xian again and asked, "I don't know who Lord Tian listened to be able to predict things like a god?"

Tian Xian laughed and said: "I'm ashamed to say this, the person who said this is Tian's nephew." It's not Tian's words, Tian's nephew lives in Yuyang, and he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he doesn't know his name in Tingxiang. Because the end of the year is approaching, the nephew's family gathered in Tian's house from Yuyang for the holiday. Although he is thirteen years old, he has extraordinary talents, and only listened to the grandfather's words of 'Dragon City Flying General', so he figured out the temperament of the grandfather, so he specially told him before leaving. Tian was only joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Not only did Zu Zhao feel that this matter was very strange, but everyone around him was not interested in this strange thing, and he was immediately interested.

Zu Zhao said quietly: "Really? Is there such a genius?

Tian Xian said again: "What my nephew said, those who can chant the two bold words of 'but the dragon city flying general, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain', are either lonely and arrogant people, or people with strong intentions, and whether it is the former or the latter, they will never easily forgive the thieves who robbed horses and killed people this time, and they will not easily evacuate."

For this explanation, Zu Zhao really has no way to comment, but fortunately, the other party gave two completely different evaluations, so as not to put himself completely in a derogatory sense.

With an indifferent smile, he turned to ask, "May I ask this little brother's name?"

Tian Xian said: "My nephew has a single name.

Zu Zhao's face changed slightly, combined with Tian Xian's previous introduction of this nephew's origin and age, it can already be inferred that the other party is Tian Yu, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period. Tian Yu followed Liu Bei when he was young, but the time was not long, but he left Liu Bei with the evaluation of "I hate to work with you", which shows that he is a young genius.

After smiling, he said, "If there is a chance, the junior really wants to meet this little brother."

Tian Xian saw that Zu Zhao behaved calmly from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but admire it even more in his heart, with such a magnificent state, it can be seen that the other party is definitely not a lonely and arrogant person. So, he didn't hide it, and responded rashly: "Very good, it's rare for the grandfather to appreciate his face, he has free time, but he has to go to the county town for a while."

After some promises, Zu Zhao asked Tian Xian to provide them with some logistical support as much as possible in the name of the local county government. This time, the ancestral family only carried half a day's worth of dry food, and it was very cold after nightfall, so the basic living problems had to be solved. Tian Xian agreed, saying that he would arrange for the people to send dry food and water one after another, and promised that the matter would not be delayed for too long, and that once the whereabouts of the thieves were known, he would be able to take action in two days at the latest.

After explaining, Tian Xian was about to leave, but after not taking a few steps, he turned back.

Zu Zhao asked, "What else is the matter with Lord Tian?"

Tian Xian's face was quite hesitant, and he said: "I almost forgot that the injured righteous man of Guizhuang told the eldest prince that the arrow that shot Ah Bao was a black arrow. When

everyone around heard this, they all showed grim looks.

Zu Zhao's face was gloomy, he didn't reveal too much emotion, and after a little sigh, he said to Tian Xian: "There is Lord Laotian." After

Tian Xian left with the county government, Zu Zhao was not in a hurry to arrange for his children to go separately to inform the other teams.

He turned around and asked Han Dang first, "Brother Han, do you know that Tian Gongcao?"

Han Dang thought for a moment and said, "I haven't known each other, this Tian Gongcao should have not been in office for a long time." Some time ago, I heard of this person's reputation, and he was a righteous and upright person.

Zu Zhao nodded, so he was assured that Tian Xian would definitely fulfill his promise, not only to ensure the logistics of the children of the Zu family, but also to urge the county government to dispatch officers and soldiers as soon as possible.

At this time, Zu Fan was a little anxious, and stepped forward to urge: "Eldest prince, why don't you immediately send someone to inform the other teams, it is not early, and the road is not close, I am afraid that the south does not know the situation yet."

Zu Zhao remained silent and said calmly: "I conclude that there will be a heavy fog here tonight, and God will help me." Why don't you give it a go, let Uncle Li on the West Road and Uncle Ke on the East Road rush here to wait for me to wait, and then make an appointment with Uncle Ling in the south to create momentum and fire outside the forest in the south. Everyone

heard Zu Zhao say that he was planning to force the thieves to escape, but they didn't expect to start acting immediately.

Zu Fan said worriedly: "Eldest son, this is too big.

After pondering, Han Dang said, "If there is really a fog, maybe it will work."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zu Zhao again, before everyone knew that Zu Zhao would know the art of astrology, as the so-called "the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds", and those who can predict the weather almost have the same miracle skills as the sky.
