Chapter 0040 Go to the cottage
The brigade who stayed outside the canyon saw the signal that Zhao Yun was safe and continued to move forward. Walking into the valley, Han Zhan found that the widest place was only two or three meters away, and only one carriage could pass through the narrow place.
Rob, who was following him, said with lingering fear: "Mr., fortunately, you sent the military marquis to attack the bandits from behind and wipe them out. Otherwise, when we enter the valley, they will take action. As long as we block the roads ahead and behind us and smash the rocks, we may be in danger."
The patch that had been following the team behind him also followed at this moment. Looking at the dangerous terrain in the canyon, he asked tremblingly: "Young Master, there will be no more bandits ambushing ahead, right?"
"What are you afraid of?" Rob glared at him and said, "You think there are bandits everywhere, and they also have their own territory. After we destroy this bandit, there will be at least a few dozen miles in a radius, and no other bandits will appear."
"Captain Luo is right," Han Zhan saw Patch, and looked frightened, and hurriedly comforted him, "Although there are not many bandits in this group, this Hengjing should be their territory. Without their invitation, other bandits would have crossed the boundary, which is a taboo for them. Therefore, we will not encounter new bandits before we arrive in the county."
After leaving the valley, he saw Zhao Yun with a hundred soldiers and captured bandits, who had already lined up outside the valley. Han Zhan accelerated his horse and ran towards Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun hurriedly came up.
When there were five or six steps left, Zhao Yun grabbed the horse, hung his spear on the saddle, bowed and bowed to Han Zhan: "I have reported to you that Yun is lucky to be unfair. The bandits ambushed on the cliff have been wiped out by Yun. They have killed eleven people and captured thirty-five people alive."
After listening to Zhao Yun's report, Han Zhan instinctively asked: "How are our casualties? And..." He looked into the crowd in the distance and did not see the old man driving the donkey cart, "Where is that father-in-law now?"
"When I say the envoy, there will be no casualties in our army." Zhao Yun replied with a smile: "As for my father-in-law, he led us to the foot of the mountain and said that there was something important at home, so he hurriedly left on a donkey."
Han Zhan knew in his heart that the old man was worried that he would be led by bandits, which would cause him to be killed. Therefore, he said tacitly: "What a pity, I want to pay him more."
"Envoy, Yun has asked one by one. The criminals have been killed. The rest are some simple mountain people who have never done anything bad." Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at the bandits kneeling in front of the team, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what the envoy plans to deal with them?"
When Han Zhan heard that Zhao Yun gave all the right to deal with these people to him, he felt embarrassed. Kill them, these are all simple mountain people. They are just bewitched and forced to kill them and rob them here and block the way. If you don’t kill them, put them all back, and maybe one day they will rejoin their old career.
Seeing Han Zhan frowned, Zhao Yun stopped talking, and did not interrupt casually, but just waited quietly for him to make his own decision. After a long time, Han Zhan asked, "Zilong, what do you think should be done?"
"According to the bandit's confession, their village is only more than ten miles away, and their families are in the village." Zhao Yun said cautiously: "Otherwise we will go to the village to take a look and then decide what to deal with them."
"So great." Han Zhan waved his hand, "Zilong, let's go and find a guide first."
The two of them rode horses to the front of the team. Zhao Yun said to the bandits who knelt on the ground and left fate: "We need someone to take us to your village. Who would you like to be a guide?"
When the bandits heard Zhao Yun say this, they were stunned at first, then they cried and howled. There were even two people who kept kowtowing, shouting repeatedly: "Mr. Jun. Jun. You are kind!"
Han Zhan was stunned by the reaction of the bandits. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "We just want to be the guide alone, why do they react like this?"
Not to mention that Han Zhan was confused, Zhao Yun was also confused. He raised his steel gun high and shouted loudly: "Quiet, calm me down." After the bandits returned to their calmness, he continued, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
The bandits looked at each other. A burly bandit climbed to Zhao Yun's horse with his hands and feet, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "The young man offended Jun Ye, and deserved to die. I hope that Jun Ye will be a large number of masters, show mercy under the knife, and bypass the young man's wife and children. In the next life, he will also repay Jun Ye's great kindness."
Han Zhan was a little amused when he heard the bandits say this. He quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "Brothers, don't panic. I know that you are forced to become a bandit and will not pursue your past mistakes. I only want to go to your village to see how to settle you."
The bandit kneeling in front of Zhao Yun looked up at the young man in front of him and asked half-doubtedly: "Young Master, don't deceive me?"
"This is the new national order, and you must do what you say." After Zhao Yun introduced Han Zhan's identity to the bandits, he then asked: "I asked again, who would like to lead us to the clan for the guide?"
When the bandits learned that the officers and soldiers would not wipe out their village, the bandits were relieved. When they heard Zhao Yun's question, five or six bandits immediately replied in unison: "I'm a small wish."
Han Zhan's eyes swept across the bandits one by one, and finally stopped on the bandits kneeling in front of Zhao Yunma, and pointed with his hand: "You will be the guide. By the way, what's your name?"
"The little one is called Lin San."
After finding a guide, Han Zhan asked Zhao Yun to take the brigade to a camp twenty miles ahead, and he took Rob and his cavalry to follow Lin San to the village. Seeing that Lin San had no horses, Han Zhan asked Pang to give up the horses he was riding. Although Pang refused, he did not dare to violate Han Zhan's orders, so he obediently gave the horses to Lin San.
On the way to the mountain village, seeing Han Zhan approachable, Lin San's courage gradually became stronger. He asked tentatively: "Sir, I wonder how you plan to place us?"
Han Zhan looked at Lin San and said lightly: "If you are willing to join the army and eat food, I will welcome you; if you are willing to farm, you can also divide the land for you to cultivate."
After following Lin San to the village, Han Zhan couldn't help but frown. This was far from the kind of village he had imagined. Not to mention the grand Juyi Hall in the water-pooling Liangshan, there were not even a few decent thatched houses, and the ventilated straw sheds everywhere.
Seeing a group of cavalry entering the mountain village, the women and children in the village thought they were officers and soldiers coming to fight, so they were scared to dodge everywhere. Lin San hurriedly urged the horse to come and shouted to the panicked women and children: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm back."
"It's Lin San coming back." A woman who was closer saw clearly that the person riding on the horse was Lin San, and immediately shouted at the women and children who were still running around: "Don't panic, Lin San coming back!"
