"Fan is slow!" Just when Yu let his muscles tense and was about to fight to the death, someone on the side said something to stop him.

It is the black humerus of the Bank of China who has been silently watching.

He arched his hand and said: "Don't worry about Fanzi, this son is just a guide, how can he turn the situation around alone?" It is not easy for him to flee alone to report the news, if you want to blame, you should blame my family's Rongnu fox baby for being incompetent, why be angry with him. ”

Fan Jia had a gloomy face, staring at Yu Rang without saying a word.

Bank of China Hei Hu's eyes rolled, and continued to persuade: "I see that this son is clever, if Fan Zi doesn't like it, can you transfer it to me and let him be my retainer of the Bank of China clan, Hei Hu is willing to exchange two Xianyu good horses for it!" ”

When the Duke of Jin Wen returned to the country, Qin Mugong "accepted three thousand guards", that is, he gave three thousand soldiers as guards to strengthen his momentum. Later, in the alliance of practicing the land that Duke Wen was named "Uncle Hou", Zhou Tianzi also gifted the "three hundred tigers" belonging to Wang Chen of Jin Wengong as a thank you for "respecting the king".

With such a precedent, the gifts of retainers to each other in the Jin Kingdom were as frequent as the exchange of maidservants, craftsmen, and property. The reason for this is that once the retainer entrusts his loyalty, it is equivalent to becoming the private property of the sovereign, which can be distributed by them.

Fan Jia's anger also disappeared, but seeing that Yu Rang was not pleasing to the eye, he pushed the boat down the river and "sent" Yu Rang to the Bank of China's black humerus.

No one noticed that Yu Rang's clenched fist had been secretly released, and the sand and soil had fallen.

Although Yu Rang was young, he was arrogant, and he was a little indignant at Fan Jia's unfair rewards and punishments, and he also used himself as a utensil to transfer to others. But he also has self-knowledge, which can only be hidden in his heart, but cannot be revealed.

And for the help of the Bank of China's black humerus, he was suddenly grateful in his heart.

"I have heard that the Zhongxing clan loves talents, and there is a culture of respecting the virtuous and being cheap, is this to treat me as a wise man like the five 羖 (gu) doctor Baili Xi to ask for? The Fan gentleman met me with everyone. I also repay it to everyone, and now the duty that should be done has been done, and the affection of the monarch and the minister has been exhausted. I only hope that in the Bank of China, I can show my talents! ”

"Come to Japan. I will let the gentlemen of the Bank of China know that I am not worth more than two horses! ”

The disposition of Yu Rang is just a small episode, next. Fan Jia and BOC Heiqiu still have to discuss whether to continue this "surprise attack" tonight, which has completely exposed their whereabouts.

"The night is dark and the wind is high, the terrain of Chengxiang is dangerous, and the Zhao family is also prepared, why don't you withdraw your troops and go down the mountain?" This is the suggestion of the cautious archer pawn.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Fan Jia.

"No, let's move on!"

Judging from the information revealed by Yu Rang, Zhao Wuxian didn't know that there would be a surprise attack tonight, but he just happened to come back. Crashed under the mountain. Although his elite soldiers lasted until the arrival of reinforcements and defeated more than 100 robbers, that was only one-fifteenth of tonight's troops, and the identities of Fan and Zhongxing should not have been revealed.

"Zhongxingzi, what do you think?"

The two gentlemen of Fan and Bank of China are cooperative relations, with equal status and do not belong to each other. But when it comes to the battle array, the Zhongxing Black Humerus, who has been influenced by the martial tradition of the Zhongxing clan since childhood, is more proficient. So Fan Jia is also willing to ask for his opinion.

After pondering for a moment, the Bank of China said after a moment: "I agree with Fan Zi's words, this mountain has already been half climbed. If you retreat, your morale will be greatly damaged, and you will be called a joke by the concubine. Anyway, our whereabouts have been exposed, so we simply raise the fire. Let the soldiers speed forward and surround the countryside. After a while, after my family's Rongnu fox baby also arrived, they surrounded the front and back, and attacked overnight, striving to be before dawn. Pull it out! ”

……

On the other side, Zhao Wuxian and his party also returned to Chengxiang from a messy conflict site.

A few months ago, the Zhao clan's sons fought infighting, and the infrastructure of Chengxiang had not yet been completed, and there were still many gaps in the road, so it was easy for people to enter.

Now, under Zhao Wuxian's governance idea of "making up for the dead", Chengxiang, which was originally separated by seven miles, has been surrounded by a one-and-a-half-person-high rammed earth wall and has become a closed town.

The gaps in the walls of the euphores were blocked, and a total of two gates were opened, corresponding to the two roads of Sanyang and Sanyin.

They came from the south, so they entered the Sanyang Gate.

As early as a few days ago, after asking Xing Ao to come back to report the news, Yang Yurong knew that the atmosphere around Xinjiang had become tense, and maybe there would be a war, so he began to make defensive preparations. Dozens of paces outside the gate are now lined with triangular wooden fences, dug into ravines to prevent chariots from collapsing.

The gate is made of two sturdy and heavy pieces of wood by carpenters, nailed with copper willow, and reinforced by mountain stones next to it, and the cracks are filled with corn soup to solidify.

Above the door is a hard mountain-style watchtower, on which five people can stand, shoot arrows and look down. The walls that extend out on both sides also have a wooden watchtower, and together with the gatehouse, they form three commanding heights that can be used as horns for each other.

Now, I saw that the black gate was closed, and the torches that had not been extinguished all night burned on the watchtower, reflecting the distance of several feet in front of the door. When the townsman on night saw someone coming, he struck the gong at hand, alerted the soldiers who were resting with spears behind the wall, and at the same time shouted and asked:

"Who's coming?"

"It's us! The gentleman is back, too! Mucha shouted in a loud voice, and then walked over to let people see his face clearly, as well as the mulberry wood talisman he had brought with him when he came out.

"What a gentleman! Hurry up and open the door. A few moments ago, when he came to inspect, he heard the neighing of people and horses in the south, and thought that Zhao Wuxian would return tonight, so he resolutely sent Mu Xia and others to respond.

After that, he kept crouching on the watchtower, looking uneasily and waiting.

The heavy gate creaked open, and everyone rushed in.

Wearing armor and holding a short sword, he hurriedly went down to the watchtower and came to greet him.

However, I saw that in addition to the two guards and the two caishi, all of them had a full beard and a full tail, Zhao Wuxian and the apprentices who took him to the lower palace were all injured, and it seemed that a few people were also damaged. Those who were tied to straw ropes and stared at were captured thieves.

The night road is not easy to walk, and the light knights have lost a third of their horses, and those who can still move are brought back as much as possible, and those who can't walk can only be killed on the spot by the knights themselves with tears in their eyes.

After everyone entered, Dou Pengzu, Chengwu, Ji Qiao and other villagers who came to wait by the door after hearing the news also surrounded them. But I happened to see Wang Sunqi in a coma, and Tian Ben was covered in blood. And the rider Yu Xi is nowhere to be seen.

Yang Yurong's heart sank, and the secret way was not good, thinking that it would be difficult for Yu Xi to die? He didn't dare to ask directly. His gaze swept over the faces of the corpses that were hunched on horses and carried by men.

Dou Pengzu was also very worried, some time ago, Zhao Wuxian told Dou Pengzu for Yu Xi to ask Yu Xi to marry Dou Pengzu's daughter.

Dou Pengzu saw that the gentleman was not interested in his daughter, even though he was a little disappointed. But he was also very satisfied with Yu Xi. In Chengxiang, everyone can see that the gentleman attaches great importance to the light knight, although Yu Xi is from a humble background, he is the first batch of cronies of the gentleman, as a horseman, the future is immeasurable, he naturally agreed happily.

This is also a political marriage between Zhao Wuxian's forces, as an "outsider", and the indigenous clan of Chengxiang. After opening this head, Zhao Bing in the lower palace also married a woman from Chengxiang for a while. The relationship between the two sides will be more connected.

Zhao Wuxian first gave Yang Yurong a rough account of the battle that had just occurred, and then said to them: "Yu Xi is fine, but I have other arrangements." ”

Yang Yurong was secretly speechless, and after learning about the danger of Fang Cai being one against ten, he understood why the soldiers of Chengxiang who could also crown the division brigade in the lower palace were damaged. Next, he had to face more than 1,000 robbers, and for a while, he was secretly lucky for Zhao Wuxian's return, and he was sweating profusely because he was worried about how to deal with it.

Zhao Wuxian saw that everyone was already gathered, so he calmly gave an order: "The third elder of the township." Quickly put the wounded in the battle to the village temple and personally heal them. ”

"Township Situ, take someone to inform the whole township. There are thieves tonight! All men who were able to bear arms were to be conscripted and divided into clans and clans, and weapons were distributed to the treasury. And the young and strong women must also guard the door of the house, and those who are bold are not afraid of blood. He was called to the village temple to take care of the wounded. ”

"Xiang Sima, there are more than 400 robbers at the front door, you will command them, and I will personally guard the back door!"

After entering the township, he asked Mucha to break the calf bone of the leader of the Rong people, and in addition to his horror and pain, he interrogated him carefully, and learned that the enemy who had touched from behind the mountain was indeed "more than a thousand people".

Hundreds of thieves from Luliang Mountain retreated halfway up the mountain, and they couldn't come for a while, and then the enemy came from the mountain, and there was probably a moment before they arrived. Time was very short, but fortunately, Chengxiang had been in a state of semi-wartime management since Zhao Wuxian promulgated the new military law, so he was able to assign tasks and their respective duties in an orderly manner.

Cheng Wu brought Wang Sun Qi and other wounded back to the village temple, and Cheng Jian also followed, but after his father stuffed a mouthful of herbs to relieve pain and stop bleeding, he ordered him to quickly follow the gentleman to the back door and wait for dispatch by his side.

"A gentleman is blessed by the Heavenly Emperor and ghosts, and where he is is the safest!" Cheng Wu recalled the last encounter under the big mulberry tree, taught his son so well, and asked him to behave well tonight and seek a good future.

Under the leadership of Dou Pengzu, those soldiers who were the chiefs of the grassroots and the army also began to patrol in Chengxiang, beating gongs and shouting as they walked, so that the patriarchs and people of each country came out to gather.

At this time, it was not too late, most of the Chinese people had not yet fallen asleep, and when they heard the sound of the gong, they turned over and walked out of the house one after another, asking Dou Pengzu and the elders what had happened.

"What, there's a thief coming! Are you coming to plunder Chengxiang? ”

When the people learned of this, they looked at each other and hurried back to their homes. Instead of being afraid and timid, they didn't shut up the door, but they picked up the bows, arrows, swords, and spears they had hidden in their homes and walked out of the house again.

"A gentleman has a call, how can he not go?" (To be continued.) )
