Zhaojiayu, although its name is a valley, is actually a depression at the base of the mountain that hides the wind and gathers energy. Under a gentle slope formed by the Taihang Mountains from the northeast, there are rows of thatched houses and Shibai courtyards mixed in between, forming a castle-like courtyard. Located in it.
Zhao's Wubao is similar in shape to Liu's Wubao, but it is much smaller than Liu's Wubao. The fort walls are not as tall as others, and the river protecting the fort is nowhere to be seen.
The journey of twenty or thirty miles can be reached in a blink of an eye on horseback.
Having seen Zhao Yun's lair from a distance on a high slope, Zhang Sheng already knew it, and his confidence in rescuing Uncle Fu increased.
If the unstable factor of Zhao Yun is eliminated, Zhao's Wubao will be much less difficult to attack than Liu's Wubao. If the other party does not let people go, it will really push yourself. Mind sending an army to attack.
Boom...dong-dong-dong...
Suddenly, the alarm drums in the fort kept ringing, and Zhang Sheng knew that the other party had already discovered the arrival of him and others.
"Wu Hu, take a few people over and tell them to ask them to heal Uncle Fu and then send him back to us. Otherwise, if something happens to Uncle Fu, I will make the whole Zhao family pay for his life. Go and be careful. , especially Zhao Yun, if the other party leaves the fort, you should return quickly and don't bother too much." After thinking about it, Zhang Sheng confessed a few words to Hu Zi.
There are priorities.
Saving people is the first step, and Sun Fu must save them. Otherwise, he will not be able to manage the thousands of thieves behind him in the future. As for killing people, he can only postpone it later.
Zhang Sheng really hopes that the other party will understand each other, so that both parties can avoid fighting again.
Recruiting Zhao Yun?
He is just an ant thief, neither Gongsun Zan nor Liu Daer. Although he has a white horse, he does not have the qualifications of a hero, nor does he have an ancestor that he can talk about like Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Zhang Sheng still has some self-awareness. It doesn’t matter if you don’t dream.
"Here!"
Wu Hu took the order and led a few horses downhill.
"Lang Jun, do you know Zhao Yun very well?" After hearing Zhang Sheng's instructions to Wu Hu, Zhou Chuang couldn't help but ask.
understood?
Things that are said by hearsay don’t count, and they can’t be true. However, the victorious general in Luo Dashen's works, Liu Daer's bodyguard leader, should not be a joke.
"Lao Chuang, I don't know him well, but his archery skills can make Uncle Fu jealous, and he dares to kill our soldiers and kidnap Uncle Fu despite hundreds of people. His strength must not be underestimated by us. From now on, you When you meet this person, you'd better be more cautious and don't risk your life with him unless absolutely necessary."
Zhang Sheng had to warn a few people around him to prevent them from suffering big losses inexplicably like Uncle Fu when they encountered Zhao Yun in the future.
Zhou Chuang is thoughtful...
In the main hall of the Zhao family, the clan elders, clan chiefs and those in charge gathered together. Of course, Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng, who were the parties involved, were called over.
Everyone in the room was whispering and discussing.
"Everyone, you must be aware of the thief's shouting. Tell me, how should this matter be handled?"
Sitting on his knees, Zhao Tong, the leader of the clan, spoke out as the head of the clan and suppressed the whispers in the main hall.
After Zhao Tong finished speaking, everyone stopped whispering, looked at each other, and stopped at brother Zhao Yun who was kneeling in the hall.
"Uncle Tong, you old uncles from the clan, cough, Feng has no right to speak out about matters in the clan, but it concerns my foolish brother. Feng has the temerity to speak out, please forgive me. The thief is here to ask for his accomplices, and Feng thinks he should be satisfied. His request, ahem, is to send him back after treatment, so as to prevent thieves from coveting my Zhao family." Seeing everyone looking at his younger brother, Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and blocked everyone's sight. After saying this, he raised his hands and bowed down.
"Send them back? Dalang, as far as I know, there are only a few hundred thieves. Now they come and demand the Zhao family to return them, and we will return them as ordered. In this way, from now on, the thieves will treat the Zhao family as if they are nothing." "Before Zhao Tong could speak, a clan elder with all white hair took over and first expressed his objection.
"What Nephew Quan said is absolutely true, Da Lang, if I return the person as you said, and if the government and temple know that I, the Zhao family, after catching a thief, were intimidated by the thief and then released, how will we respond?" As the oldest member of the clan, The elder Zhao Rui took over the words of Zhao Quan, the white-haired elder.
With the concerns and accusations of the two elders, Zhao Feng knew that it was impossible to let him go easily. He was anxious and could not help but argue, "Rui Weng, Uncle Quan, cough, after Ayun caught the thief, the thief seems to have sent someone Go and bring reinforcements. Also, if my guess is correct, this group of thieves should be under the current Zhang Yan. Well, this bandit has become powerful now. It would be unwise for us to provoke him."
Zhao Tong listened to everyone's argument and always felt that there was something vaguely wrong in his heart.
Of these two young men in the clan, Zhao Feng is obsessed with learning, and Zhao Yun is obsessed with martial arts. The two brothers are considered outstanding in the Zhao clan.
Today, Zhao Yun returned from capturing the enemy. He has inquired about the enemy's situation in detail. Zhao Yun described that this enemy is different from the previous rogues and bandits. They know the battle formations and the troops. After he kidnapped the thief, the thief seemed to have sent someone to ask for help. Now, Zhao Feng, a young man with extraordinary knowledge, is trying his best to persuade him to be released, which must be taken seriously.
Zhao Quan and others have been living in peace for a long time, and their judgments on many things have gradually deviated from the development of the current situation.
On the contrary, Zhao Feng, the young man, was relatively more accurate in his judgment of Zhang Jiao's downfall and the consequences of the Holy Emperor's gift. At this moment, I was more willing to trust Zhao Feng, the young man.
"Da Lang, don't say any more. The horned bandits spread across several states and were all destroyed by the army. How can a mere Yan bandit succeed? I heard that this bandit united with Zhang Niujiao to attack Ying Tao. Niujiao was killed and the Yan bandits were defeated. , what should I, the Zhao family, be afraid of? If I hear the words of a little thief now and send him back to his people, how can my Zhao family gain a foothold in the land of Yan and Zhao? How can we deal with the public opinion in the world?" Zhao Quan stopped him again. Zhao Feng's advice.
"Okay, today's discussion is over. It's getting late. Everyone, please disperse. We will discuss whether the culprit should be released or not tomorrow." Seeing that Zhao Feng seemed to be arguing again, Zhao Tong, as the clan leader, stopped himself. He also concluded today's proceedings.
Everyone dispersed...
From the time the sun set in the west to the time when the sun set, Zhang Sheng, standing on the slope, gave up his fantasy and became more and more depressed. He took one last look at Zhao's Wubao, which was about to disappear into the night, and rode back.
For more than an hour, Zhao did not respond to his request. It seemed that this battle was inevitable.
Due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Zhang Sheng was really helpless when facing Zhao Yun. However, in order to save people, he had to deal with the helplessness. He could not abandon Uncle Fu and leave.
That's all, that's all!
No matter Zhao Yun or Zhao Zilong, after all, they don't belong to you. No matter how bad Sun Fu is, he is still one of his own. He will sacrifice his life for himself, an ant thief, but Zhao Yun will not. For Uncle Fu, who knows, I, Zhang Sheng, will fight with you. It's been a while...
