Chapter 91, the bandits outside

That night, Zu Zhao did not return to Bei Guoting.

He gathered with Zhang Xuan, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yu and others in the Han family's mansion. The town of Fan'anting is still busy, most of which is still fighting the fire, while the other part is appeasing the injured and stabilizing the hearts of the people. Although there are thieves every year, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, when disasters happen to them, no one will say that they have been "accustomed to it for a long time".

Although the scale of the thief attack was not large and was easily defeated by the reserve theft team, the real behind-the-scenes mastermind was still at large, which made everyone very annoyed. Zu Zhao, in particular, is not the first time he has encountered the "Northern Wolf", who dares to send people to set an ambush in an attempt to kill himself. Of course, more importantly, there is another mysterious figure behind the "Northern Wolf".

It is obviously unrealistic to achieve success in one step and completely solve a series of accidents that have occurred in the past.

However, in today's war, at least there was a clue that could be traced, so Zu Zhao and others decided to negotiate immediately.

The clues learned from the torture of the captured thief population, who walked into Xu Wu County from the day before yesterday. Before that, the "Northern Wolf" had spent at least half a month gathering the exiles to form the attack team. Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that the captured thief must take Zu Zhao and others to find their previous hiding place. In addition, the "Northern Wolf" does not need to be under his own command, but chooses to summon the exiles. There must be another plan behind this.

"In this case, we should immediately send someone to go to that place to have a look. Maybe the thief of the northern wolf could catch him off guard before he could escape." After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Zhang Yu couldn't help saying first. Although he was seriously injured, the young man's strong mind can always support his fragile body. Now he can't wait to get rid of his shame and let those thieves taste his strength.

"What do you think, uncle?" Zhang Yuan was able to calm down and asked Zhang Xuan for advice.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and did not express his position for a while.

"At present, it's freezing, and it's late at night. Don't you say whether those thieves will go the wrong way? Even if we can lead the way, we will go to another side. It's really irrational. Even if you want to go, you have to wait until dawn to make full preparations before it can work. At this time, Zu Zhao said solemnly.

"It is often said that soldiers are very fast. In case the thief runs back to report the news tonight and the thief of the northern wolf, won't we rush there in the end?" Zhang Yu said eagerly.

"The northern wolf does not need its own people, but recruits exiles everywhere, obviously to make more preparations. Even if we go to find their hiding place now, the hiding place may only be a temporary hiding place, and the northern wolves may not be there. You know, even if he is a exile, he will not be unpreventiled. Zu Zhao explained meticulously.

"Well, what should we do now?" Zhang Yu sighed.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send a team to the place where the people hide to see if they can find new clues. The northern wolf specially arranged for the exile to attack, and it will never be aimless. Nine out of ten, this thief will take the next move. It is imperative that we should cheer up and take strict precautions. Zu Zhao said calmly.

"Alas, strict precautions, more than 800 people, but we can't help a little thief, really... Alas..." Zhang Pre said annoyedly.

"A pre, don't be impatient. What Mr. Zu said was right. What he did to prevent thieves was to prevent thieves, but it was just his job. Zhang Xuan reprimanded with dignity. In fact, he is also very reluctant to take the initiative to attack. Not only is it very risky, but it is also thankless to prepare for theft. If there is anything wrong, it will be more costly than being robbed by thieves.

"Well, all right." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

Resting in the Han family's mansion until dawn, Zu Zhao led Benzu's children to set off with the Zhang family.

After arriving at Anyang Pavilion, Zu Zhao said goodbye to the Zhang family and escorted the captured thief to the county.

When passing by North Guoting, Zu Zhao asked Zu Cheng to be responsible for handing over the thief to the county government and told Chen Xianjun on his behalf that these thieves were just ordinary exiles and did not know much and did not need to impose difficulties. After returning to Bei Guoting, Zu Zhao met his grandfather, detailed what happened last night, and decided to send a team to explore the hiding places of the exiles.

Zu Ju originally thought that this matter was risky, and it was reasonable to gather more pirate teams to go together.

Zu Zhao firmly believes that the "Northern Wolf" will not be encountered in the place where the exiles hide. Even if they meet, the knights sent can procrastinate and ask for help from the nearest pavilion team. The reason why he wanted to send someone to go there was nothing more than to find some clues at or near the scene for further investigation, that's all.

In the end, Zuju could only agree to Zu Zhao's arrangement and hand it over to Zu Zhao to select a team of Benzhuang's children.

In the afternoon, all the knights sent returned. As Zu Zhao speculated, there had been empty for a long time. Although there were many scattered traces, it was very difficult to trace, so he had to give up.

Two days later, news came from the county government of Youbeiping County that the state government had ordered Wen Chou, the southern captain of Youbeiping County, to lead his army and send to Changcheng on the same day to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. For the Zu family, this should be good news. Obviously, it was the petition sent by Zu Zhao to Gongsun Zan that was approved by General Zhang Wen, who instigated the state government to issue such an order. However, for Zu Zhao personally, he had another doubt in his heart. If his petition was really appreciated by Zhang Wen, why didn't Gongsun Zan reply immediately? Instead, wait until the news comes from the county government?

However, even so, he can only think that it is Zhang Wen's matter, or Gongsun Zant's negligence.

Also in the afternoon, Zu Zhao was in his house, sorting out the final styling map of the saddle and the saddle. Suddenly, a servant ran to the door to inform him that the scouts sent to Lingzhi County had returned and had something urgent to report to him.

Hearing this, Zu Zhao immediately put down the brush in his hand and asked the scouts to wait in the backyard, and immediately ran to the door.

When he came to the backyard, he called the scout back from Lingzhi County to the side hall. The other party's name is Wu Yang, and his mother is from the same family. Although her family background is not superior, she is shrewd and capable. At this time, he came out that Wu Yang's expression was a little solemn, but there was also some excitement in his eyes, which showed that he did find a great information.

"What's so urgent news in Lingzhi County?"

"Big son, something is going to happen in Lingzhi County. Someone found that a group of bandits are gathering in Yangshan. There may be two or three hundred people coming towards Lingzhi County. I'm afraid there will be a movement in these two days." Wu Yang said with a slightly excited tone.

"How did you find out?" Zu Zhao's face was calm, and he asked calmly.

Rogues can be said to be the most dangerous and troublesome experience in history, because there are usually a large number of roogues, and in the process of marching along the way, they will also drive more exiles and poor people to join in. The general momentum of releasing Buddha will become more and more snowball.

Not only that, bandits are different from ordinary thieves. They will not secretly do some plundering, but march to towns with great fanfare. Sometimes it may be easy to talk. After all, most of the bandits will be surrounded by some locals. Everyone is nothing more than a meal. As long as the town is willing to hand over food, these people will still disperse on their own. However, once someone provokes and instigated from it, the situation will be very bad.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. When they die, they walk to the bandits, you can imagine how much resentment they have accumulated.

"It was said by the people who fled from Yangshan. They also said that these bandits went all the way west from Qian'an, and Qian'an County handed over some grain to let the bandits go west. The villain in Yangshan is poor and has handed over food. He has been ruined by the bandits. Lingzhi County has been under martial law, and the righteous people are panicked. Before the bandits arrive, they have been in a mess. Wu Yang said quickly.

"When did it happen?" After a slight pause, Zu Zhao asked again.

"That's yesterday's news." Wu Yangdao.

"Yangshan is less than 80 miles away from Lingzhi County, and the bandits will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. Two or three hundred people are really a lot, but Lingzhi County has been prepared for a long time and should be able to cope with it. I'm afraid..." Zu Zhao said this, and his face looked a little solemn. He didn't go on, but he already knew it.

"Sir, although I heard that there were two or three hundred bandits yesterday, it was before Yangshan. Now that Yangshan has passed, I don't know how many bandits have increased to. Lingzhi borders me, Xu Wu, and I'm afraid it will implict us. Wu Yang said.

Don't worry. The order branch must be prepared. If the situation is really critical, the county government will definitely send people to the county to ask for help, and then we will discuss it in the long way. Zu Zhao said slowly. On the surface, he said so, but of course he had other ideas in his mind, but he had to hide it for the time being before everything was settled.

"So, do you want to report this to the old master and Chen Xianjun?" Slowly nodded, and Wu Yang asked for instructions again.

"There is no way to hide the expenditure on this event. I will inform Grandpa in person later. Zu Zhao said slowly.

"Yes."
