Chapter 391 Bandits
At the banquet, Zhang Shiping and Su Yi, who were originally here, were still a little restrained. When they saw clearly that the people sitting in the hall were all acquaintances, Zhang Shiping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly greeted everyone.
When Guo Jia returned the gift, he asked Zhang Shiping with a smile: Master Zhang, are you safe?
Thank you for your blessing instructor Guo. Zhang Shiping smiled and said: Everything is fine, but I miss you and all the great masters, so I brought Su Yi from Zhending to visit you here.
Guo Jia stared at Su Yi beside Zhang Shiping and asked: Who is this person? He has some similarities with Su Shuang.
This is Su Yi, Su Yi, the youngest brother of Su Shuang. Zhang Shiping laughed and said: He is here to Jizhou with the villain to visit the mansion.
Seeing that everyone was here, Han Zhan invited everyone to take their seats and then announced the start of the seat.
Just as Han Zhan raised the wine bottle and was about to say a few words, he saw Huang Zhong hurriedly walking in from outside. From the expression on Huang Zhong's face, Han Zhan guessed that something must have happened and asked: Han Sheng, you are in a hurry. Could something have happened?
Report to the lord, a friend twenty miles away from the east of the city is coming to report. Huang Zhong said angrily: Majia Village was attacked by criminals, and hundreds of old people in the village died of the Yellow Turban thief.
Upon hearing this, Han Zhan stood up suddenly, threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and asked angrily: Han Sheng, where is the news?
Waiting for a meeting outside the meeting hall.
Let them in!
Taking advantage of Huang Zhong's trip, Han Zhan turned his head and said to Dian Wei: Ziman, go back to the camp, ignite three thousand cavalry, and prepare to follow this marquis out of the city.
The last general took the order! Dian Wei stood up and agreed, then turned around and left.
Just as Dian Wei walked out of the conference hall, Huang Zhong brought Li Zheng to Han Zhan. Li Zheng, who was about sixty years old, heard that the person sitting in the middle was Jizhou Mu. He hurriedly knelt in front of Han Zhan and said in a crying voice: Please make the decision for the hundreds of dead people in Majia Village.
Li Zheng, Han Zhan did not let the other party get up, but asked straight to the point: Tell me, what's going on?
When I returned to the mansion, Li Zheng replied respectfully: This afternoon, more than a hundred people wrapped in yellow turbans suddenly rushed into the outside of the village and asked everyone for money and food. Everyone refused to give it to them, but they started to kill. Poor hundreds of people in my Majia Village, they lost their lives in vain.
Li Zheng, you said that hundreds of people in Majia Village lost their lives, why are you still alive? After Han Zhan and Li Zheng finished speaking, they immediately asked their questions: Did the Yellow Turban Thief spare your life when he saw that you were Li Zheng?
No, no. Li Zheng is also a smart man. From Han Zhan's words, he heard that the Fujun suspected that he had an affair with the Yellow Turban Thief, and quickly defended himself: When the Yellow Turban Thief started a killing, the dog hid the little old man in the well, so he did not let the Yellow Turban Thief find the yellow Turban Thief loot the village. He set a fire in the village, and fortunately there was a horse hidden in the forest outside the village, so he rushed to report the news. Because he was worried that he would encounter thieves on the road, the little old man even went around in a circle and entered the city from the north of the city, and then met the Huang General.
After Han Zhan and others finished speaking, they asked about some details and then ordered Rob to take Li to rest. As soon as they left, Han Zhan turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun, and asked with a stern face: General Zilong, I remember that you have always been patrolling the east direction of the city. Why did the Yellow Turban thieves loot the village twenty miles east of the city, but you knew nothing about it?
When it comes to the lord, although Zhao Yun is Han Zhan’s sworn brother, he still expressed his due respect to Han Zhan in such public places: today is not the last general to patrol the city, so he didn’t wait to know about the Yellow Turban thief as soon as possible, so he asked the lord to forgive him.
Han Zhan asked in a angrily voice: Who is patrolling the city today?
When he replied to the lord, Zhao Yun quickly replied: It was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
Rob, Rob Han Zhan shouted twice, and suddenly remembered that he was going to stay in the house, so he quickly changed his words: Here comes someone!
Following his shouting, a guard came in from outside the door and saluted him with his hands crossed: What are the lord’s instructions?
Go and find Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan to meet this marquis.
After accepting Han Zhan's order, he hurriedly left the provincial governor's mansion and rushed to the east of the city to look for Zhang Liao. When he saw Zhang Liao at the east gate, Zhang Liao was standing near the city gate hole and talking. The guard hurriedly urged him to step forward, salute Zhang Liao and said: Master Zhang, please invite him!
After understanding, I went there immediately. After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Xu and said to him: You will also go to see your lord with me and report everything you see to your lord.
Not long after, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu appeared in front of Han Zhan. After Han Zhan and the others greeted each other, they asked: Zhang Wenyuan, are you patrolling the city today?
When he replied to the lord's words, Zhang Liao quickly replied respectfully: It was the last general who patrols the city.
Han Zhan stared at him and asked angrily: So what's going on today?
When he returned to the lord's words, about an hour ago, when Mo Jiang was patrolling the city, he suddenly saw a stream of black smoke rising from the east of the city, as if a village had caught fire. So he ordered his subordinate Wei Xu to lead a team of cavalry to check it out. Speaking of this, Zhang Liao pointed to Wei Xu and pointed at Wei Xu and said: Now Wei Xu has returned from the siege and reported to Mo Jiang what he saw. Mo Jiang originally wanted to come to report to the lord, but he did not expect that the lord sent someone to summon his subordinates first.
After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, the anger on Han Zhan's face gradually dissipated. It seemed that Zhang Liao did not notice that the Majiazhuang slaughtered the village in the east of the city was not unaware of it, but wasted time in order to wait for Wei Xu's return. Han Zhan tried hard to control his emotions and tried his best to ask Wei Xu in a plain tone: Wei Xu, tell me what you have seen.
Half an hour later, Han Zhan brought Zhao Yun, Huang Zhongdian, Wei and Zhang Liao and three thousand cavalry to Majia Village. The fire in the village had basically been extinguished, and the unburned beams were still emitting thick smoke. On the dirt road in the village, there were corpses of villagers who died in different positions everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Han Zhan couldn't help but rush his blood to his head, turned his head and said loudly: Zhao Yun, Huang Zhongdian and Wei came forward to obey the order!
The three people who were named by Han Zhan quickly urged them to come forward and salute with their hands on the horse's back: The last one will be there!
The three of you each led a thousand cavalry and searched in three directions south and north. Han Zhan gritted his teeth and said: We must find these Yellow Turban thieves who committed evil deeds. The reason why Han Zhan was so angry was entirely because the current Yedu is almost the hinterland of Jizhou. There were Yellow Turban thieves in this place. Didn’t they slap themselves in the face? That’s why he brought people to check in person and wanted to eliminate these thieves immediately.
The three generals took the order and went in different directions to search for the Yellow Turban thieves who ransacked the village and fled. Han Zhan was only Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Luo Bu, and fifty cavalrymen.
Shortly after the cavalry left, Rob suddenly said to Han Zhan in surprise: Lord, listen, there seem to be living people in the village, and the subordinates heard someone's voice "shenyin".
Han Zhan quickly listened, but heard nothing. Just as he was about to criticize Luo Bu, a low "shenyin" sound came from a distance. He quickly pointed his hand in the direction of the sound and said: It seems that at that position, let's go over and take a look.
Everyone followed the sound and found that the sound came from a yard. In this yard surrounded by mud walls rammed with yellow mud, a female corpse was lying on her back. Her back was covered with blood and blood, which was unbearable. There was a blood-stained hatchet beside her. I don’t know if she used this knife to defend herself or was killed by this knife.
Han Zhan had sharp eyes and saw a bloodstain next to her, extending into the burned room. He walked forward, but was stopped by Rob: Lord, be careful!
It's okay, Han Zhan thought that maybe the injured person was in the house, so he said to Rob: Come in with me and take a look.
The two walked into the hall full of bricks and stone rubble, and saw a ragged man sitting against the wall, covering his abdomen with his hands, humming in a low voice. Han Zhan saw a pair of scissors inserted into his abdomen, and his hands covered the scissors around him, so he could not stop the bleeding well, and blood was still flowing out.
Just as Rob stepped forward to rescue him, he was pulled by Han Zhan. But when Rob turned his head and looked at Han Zhan with surprise, Han Zhan said coldly: This is a Yellow Turban Thief.
What, the Yellow Turban Thief? Robu was shocked when he heard Han Zhan say this: Lord, how did you know that he is the Yellow Turban Thief?
You are blind. Han Zhan raised his hand and slapped Rob on the back of the head: You didn't see the yellow strap tied to his head.
When Rob first entered the door, he focused on the person's wound and did not notice that there was a yellow turban wrapped around his head. Besides, even if he saw it, Rob would not care too much, because the yellow turban thieves he had seen were all wrapped in yellow turbans, and such situations as this were tied with a yellow ribbon were indeed rare.
Han Zhan pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the other party, and asked coldly: Who is your leader, where will you meet after slaughtering the village?
The man sneered, coughing and said with difficulty: Who are you, Humph, why should I tell you, your dog official
Before he could finish his words, Han Zhan suddenly heard someone roaring behind him, and then a figure rushed through the middle of him and Rob and rushed to the front of the Yellow Turban thief. After a moment of loss of consciousness, Han Zhan saw clearly that it was Li Zheng from the village. He was about to ask a few questions, but he saw Li Zheng holding a hatchet and slashing hard at the Yellow Turban thief, yelling while chopping.
The guards standing in the yard were rushing into the room with a hatchet. They were afraid that he would not be good to Han Zhan, so they rushed in with weapons. When they came in, they were shocked when they saw everything they had in front of them. Fortunately, Rob was still awake, so he quickly ordered the two guards to step forward and hand over the hatchet in their forehand, and cut his hands behind them.
Han Zhan asked Li Zheng: Li Zheng, I asked him why you wanted to kill him.
Lord Fujun, my daughter was lying in the yard. She was howling loudly: This Yellow Turban thief killed her, I want to avenge her!
When Han Zhan learned that Li Zheng was killing the Yellow Turban Thief for his dead daughter, he felt his nose sore. He thought to himself: If he encountered this situation, he would definitely not be polite to the Yellow Turban Thief. So he waved to the guards: Let him go. The guards let go of Li Zheng, and looked at the old man with sympathy and knelt down next to the female corpse, caressing the corpse and crying.
Han Zhan looked at the corpse in the main hall and thought to himself: It must be the Yellow Turban thief who tried to do something wrong to the woman. The woman refused to obey, so he stabbed him with scissors. The Yellow Turban thief was so angry that he killed the woman with hatchet. If it weren't for the impulse to kill this only living mouth, he might have asked him for useful information. It would be a pity.
Han Zhan turned around and called out the three guards, saying to them: You should immediately look for the three generals Zhao Yun, Huang Zhongdian and Wei, and convey the order of this marquis. Once you catch up with the Yellow Turban thieves, you will kill them all without leaving any mouthfuls.
Obey the order!
The three guards agreed and trotted out of the yard, rode on the horses outside the yard, and headed in three directions, southeast, north and north.
Lord! Zhang Liao came to Han Zhan, frowned and said: There is something unknown. The Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou have been cleared out. Where did this Yellow Turban thief appear?
Before Han Zhan could speak, Rob asked the lord carefully, thinking that his subordinates might be Guan Hai's subordinates?
Guan Hai's subordinates?! Han Zhan denied Rob's speculation without hesitation: This is impossible. Guan Hai's tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops have been properly placed, how could it be possible to do such a village slaughter?
There were tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans who surrendered to us in Beihai. Seeing that Han Zhan did not believe his judgment, Rob analyzed to him: Even if Guan Hai surrendered to his lord, his subordinates must still have rebellious people who were unwilling to suffer in the farmyard, so he took the risk and did such a crazy thing.
Rob's analysis made Han Zhan hesitate. He regretted it at this moment. Why didn't Guo Jia be brought with him when he came out this time? Otherwise, he could ask him to analyze and figure out what was going on. He wanted to ask Rob to go back and invite him. It was too late, and it was almost midnight every time he returned and went back and forth. Therefore, he denied it as soon as this thought came out.
