Chapter 48: Fishing in Troubled Waters (2)

Zhao Xin followed Lian Po to fight against Loufan and Lin Hu. He became famous in one battle and became famous. He also became a lieutenant. In addition, his father favored Zhao Xin very much, so he handed over the special unit of Yulin to him. However, most of these Yulins are noble children and have been arrogant and domineering people since childhood. Zhao Xin became their leader at the age of fourteen, so they naturally dissatisfied.

Zhao Xin was not afraid of it. From childhood to adulthood, he was the least afraid of fighting and causing trouble. The only thing he was popular in the army was the biggest fist. Zhao Xin was very skilled in martial arts, and even three or four Yulins could not get into him. The rare people with high martial arts skills were not his opponents.

On the way from Yunzhong to Daijun, Zhao Xin killed all directions and obeyed the thorns in the army. In addition, Zhao Xin was generous and did not care about money at a young age. Every time he paid his salary, he would eat and drink with everyone. Because he had been with his father for a long time and had a good relationship with the doctor Ling Han Sheng, the military's food officials also sold him face. Every time he gave him good wine and meat, it was cheaper for everyone.

The army is different from other places, and people get along with each other relatively simple. Although these Yulin Erlangs were not convinced by Zhao Xin at first, they could not defeat him, and were bribed by him with good wine and meat. Gradually, they no longer resisted him, and Zhao Xin was able to take the army that he had finally won.

The Yulin is different from other troops, and its military positions are far higher than other Zhao army organizations with the same number. One hundred and seven people are divided into two parts, with the left part being the Quhou Zhang Xin, the son of Zhang Shi, the governor of Shangdang County; the right part being the head of Quhou Li Wei, a member of the Li clan of the Handan clan. In terms of relative relations, he is also Zhao Xin's far-far cousin.

Because Zhang Xin was born in a general and was older than these people, his thoughts were much more stable. No matter what he thought of Zhao Xin becoming his Shangguan at a young age, at least he still did his respect. When Zhao Xin first came to Yulin, he was unwilling tolerate it, and he tried his best to maintain it.

However, Li Wei was very rude to Zhao Xin, the distant cousin. Originally, the position of Yulin Captain was vacant for many years, and he and Zhang Xin were both Quhou, and they were both powerful competitors for the position of Captain. The two have been fighting openly and secretly, fighting secretly, and wanting to suppress the other side.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin, a man who fell out of thin air, made the two of them fail. Zhang Xin was quite sensible. Seeing that his master's father favored Zhao Xin, he kept his mind not to make things difficult for Zhao Xin. Li Wei couldn't swallow this and always tried his best to make things difficult for the people in the Yulin to make things difficult for Zhao Xin. It was not until he was beaten to the blue face after competing with Zhao Xin, and then he restrained a lot.

Respect is not a question, but Zhao Xin still does everything he ordered. Seeing that he no longer openly made things difficult for him, Zhao Xin ignored him. One day he returned to Handan, he would definitely find his uncle Li Dui and let him teach this ignorant guy in the Li family.

It has been nearly a day since he sneaked into the hinterland of Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhao Xin led his troops to carefully survey for nearly a hundred miles. Not to mention the Zhongshan Army, even a civilian in Zhongshan had not encountered it. Instead, he encountered many abandoned villages. It seems that Zhongshan Kingdom was worried about being plundered by the Zhao army, so he gave up these barrier-free villages and pastoral areas.

Zhao Xin's troops had only a hundred people, so naturally they did not dare to run in the wilderness with great fanfare. If they were discovered by the Zhongshan army in the city, they would definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it.

You should know that although the cavalry of Zhongshan Kingdom declined, there were still thousands of cavalry, and it was easy to eat Zhao Xin's troops. Therefore, Zhao Xin was silenced all the way and did not dare to speak out. He just sneaked carefully on the wilderness. When he saw the city pass, he avoided it from the distance and dared not approach it.

Seeing that the sun was setting and it would take soon to get night, Zhao Xin led his army to a abandoned village in Zhongshan, intending to spend the night here.

With Qingshui, Zhao Xin sat on the haystack in a temple and chewing jerky absent-mindedly, but he was thinking about how to hand in his mission to his father. This was his first time leading the army to fight. If he returned in vain, he would not be able to stand his face.

He originally wanted to take this rare opportunity to perform well. After all, the military merits he obtained last time were not nice and he was completely free to follow Lian Po. When he charged, his mind was blank. He just followed Lian Po's figure and killed people desperately, without any other consciousness.

It’s a pity that when I saw that the people of Zhongshan had already retreated cleanly today, it was so difficult for me to obtain useful information.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that this was helpless, so it would be better not to force it. The generals are most afraid of being greedy for merit and making progress. They are young, and they are afraid that they will leave all their subordinates here.

Several people around him saw Zhao Xin frowning and knew that he was in a bad mood, so they were tactful and did not disturb him.

A steady footsteps came, and Zhao Xin knew that it was Zhang Xin coming without looking, so he looked up and asked casually, "Have you all settled your brothers?"

Zhang Xin nodded and said, "It has been arranged. Li Wei took five people to investigate the surroundings. I left ten people to guard the situation. The other brothers have been arranged."

Zhao Xin smiled when he heard this. Although Li Wei's cousin was very bad, one thing was very good, that is, he was extremely cautious. He would take people to investigate the surroundings without giving instructions every time he went there.

He handed over the water bag on his waist and said with a smile, "This is the warm drink just now, Brother Zhang, let me have a few sips."

Zhang Xin took a few sips, hesitated, and sat down again, and said, "Captain, today we have returned without success today. I think the people of Zhongshan have already prepared, and we may return without success if we stay. And this is the hinterland of Zhongshan after all, their ears and ears should be much more versatile than ours. If they attract their attention, I am afraid that we will find it difficult for us to escape unstoppable."

Zhao Xin nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment before speaking; "I want to explore deeper for a day. After a day, we will return immediately regardless of whether we have obtained military information or not."

Zhang Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this and felt relieved. To be honest, he was really afraid that Zhao Xin, a fledgling boy, would not know the importance of the matter, and would throw his and his brothers' names in this place. Now it seems that although Zhao Xin is young, he is competitive, which is a good thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhang Xin smiled and was about to say something joking, but saw a series of rapid footsteps coming outside the house, and quickly stood up with Zhao Xin.

Li Wei's rough voice came, "Captain, there is a Zhongshan Army five miles away, with about 200 people, all of whom are cavalry, rushing towards the village."

Zhao Xin's face tightened and asked quickly, "How much time do we have?"

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "They were not marching, they looked hurried, as if they had something important to do, and at most they could arrive at us in an incense stick of time."

Zhang Xin, who was standing beside him, said anxiously, "I'll inform my brothers to gather now, it's still time to withdraw." After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but Zhao Xin stopped him from behind.

"Slow down." Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, looked at Li Wei with a serious expression and asked again; "Can there be a rear army behind this Zhongshan Army?"

"No." Li Wei shook his head affirmatively, "I looked carefully and made sure that this was just a single cavalry.

"Zhang Xin, tell your brothers that prey comes to the door, so that everyone can cheer up and do a good job."

Zhang Xin was stunned at first, and then said in a lost voice, "Captain, what do you want to do? The other party is twice as good as us. Even if we win, if one of them escapes one of us, we will definitely summon a large army to encircle and annihilate us."

Zhao Xin smiled and said confidently, "Then the short answer is not to let them escape."

When the number of people is at a disadvantage, they have to be completely wiped out. Not to mention Zhang Xin, even Li Wei, who has always been brave, was frightened by Zhao Xin's words and looked at him together.

"Zhang Xin, gather your troops immediately, and Li Wei, you and your brothers abandon your horse and hide it. Let's go to the roofs and trees on both sides of the village. Remember to hide it. When I see my orders, I will shout to kill you and shoot an arrow immediately."

Li Wei rolled his eyes and asked, "Then what are you doing."

Zhao Xin smiled confidently and said mysteriously: "I'll find a way to keep the Zhongshan cavalry in the village."
