Chapter 19 Officers and soldiers are like bandits

The location of this place that Feng Gouzi found for them is really good. As long as you come out of the valley, you can quickly set foot on the official road after a few turns. No matter which direction you go, the road is not too far, and there are few people around here. Both colleagues or officers and soldiers rarely haunt this area, and there are fewer people who can go. Now that they exist, it is very suitable whether they are hiding or going out.

After staying in the valley for more than 20 days, they are not very clear about the situation outside, so Xiao Tianjian was also a little more careful when leading these people out of the ravine, for fear of encountering a large number of officers and soldiers, even if they meet a large number of similar stocks, it is not a good thing for them.

After more than 20 days of recuperation, the wound on the horse's leg they took away had already recovered under the care of the big cow and the iron head and was ready to ride, but Xiao Tianjian did not occupy the horse, but gave it to a man named Shi Ran under him.

This Shi Ran is about 30 years old, and he is an unknown one in the team. Although he is not outstanding in all aspects, he usually doesn't talk much and seems to be relatively calm, but he is flexible. He is usually not exposed among these people. If you don't pay attention to it, it is easy for people to ignore his existence. In these days, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about finding someone to temporarily act as their scout. After asking who can ride a horse, except for Da Niu, only this Shi Ran stood up.

Considering that Da Niu's personality is relatively dull, and he is good at taking care of animals and has to drive a car with Huzi, Shi Ran has become the only person who can be selected for the role.

As for whether Shi Ran is qualified for this job or not, Xiao Tianjian is not clear, but now he can only drive ducks to the shelves and let Shi Ran do this for the time being.

Everyone is very interested in going out to do things this time. There is no other reason. First, they feel that after this period of practice, they are much bolder, and they also feel that they are much stronger. Their confidence begins to expand. Second, if they go out to do something and grab something, there will be rewards, and it will be more painful to do it. Hurry up. As for whether they will die when they go out to work or not, I really seldom think about it. Originally, they should have starved to death. Now they make money to live one more day. If they don't go out to rob, they have nothing to do. It's better to fight desperately to rob. At least, they are also full of people.

No one in this area is more familiar with Feng Gouzi. In Feng Gouzi's mention, they chose a Zhaojiabao about 30 miles away from here, which is located in a remote area. In recent years, military disasters have rarely affected them, and it is said that the wall there is relatively short, with less than 20 families. There are two families in the village. There are few affluent people, so such a village is the best target for them, and it is safer to work.

As an outsider, Xiao Tianjian can only listen to other people's opinions in this regard. As for the issue of morality, it is not his consideration for the time being. The world is the survival of the strong. If you don't rob others, they will also rob you. As long as you don't kill people indiscriminately, Xiao Tianjian's current benchmark for robbery is not It's an immoral thing.

Before leaving the mountain, Xiao Tianjian handed over the horse to Shi Ran and told him, "Shi Ran, you act as our sentry for the time being!" You are more stable, and I can rest assured that you can do this! But remember, be careful when you go out and don't be too ostentatious. After exploring the situation of Zhao Jiabao, you can come back as soon as possible. Don't be careless on the way!"

Shi Ran is also a little grateful for Xiao Tianjian's instructions. Although he has never been a soldier, he has also heard that the sentinel is the most elite person in the team. Xiao Tianjian can let him do this, which shows that Xiao Tianjian valued him very much, so he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for your trust. Please rest assured. The little one will be careful!"

Just as Shi Ran took the rein of the horse and was about to turn over the horse, the bull came over and said uneasily, "Brother Stone, the injury on the horse's leg is just right. You should cherish it!" Don't let it run too fast, or when you need to run for your life, the horsepower will decline! You need to control the speed! When tying the horse, the rein should also be loosened so that it can eat some grass! ......”

"I know! We used to raise animals for the rich family and let the horses go, so you don't have to worry about it! Palm plate, let's go!" Shi Ranxian replied impatiently to Da Niu's mother-in-law.

In terms of how to use horses, Xiao Tianjian thinks he is an idiot. Listening to Da Niu's words, it makes sense, but since he let Shi Ran do this, he can only use people without doubt, so he nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the way!"

Shi Ran shook the rein of the horse and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight on the horse.

"This man won't ride a horse and can't run back by himself! A horse is very valuable now!" Zhao Er donkey looked at Shi Ran's back and muttered in a low voice.

"Shut up! Zhao Erli, you think too much. I think each of you is a brother, and it's the same for Shi Ran. I can trust him, just like I can trust you. Don't arrange it behind your back like this, and let me hear you talk nonsense behind your back. Be careful of the old military stick!" Xiao Tianjian shouted angrily to Zhao Er donkey.

Zhao Er donkey was amuseless. As long as he hid behind his neck, he didn't dare to say anything more, but he was despised by others.

In addition to the big cow and Hu Zi driving the mule car, the rest of the people lined up in a column under Xiao Tianjian's command and walked in the direction of Zhao Jiabao. Xiao Tianjian pressed the speed of the team and walked on the side of the team. The reason why he did this was to make these people develop a habit and let them consciously Treat yourself as a team, so that they don't get used to being loose and difficult to control.

Thirty miles is not too far for them, and after years of disaster in Shaanxi, coupled with years of banditry, it has already withered, and it is almost difficult to see any pedestrians on the road, so they don't have to worry about being found.

Feng Gouzi was familiar with the road. He led the way in front of him, carrying his long gun, and felt quite comfortable.

After they came out of the mountain, in order to maintain everyone's physical strength, Xiao Tianjian was not in a hurry. He maintained a speed of about five to six kilometers per hour and marched in the direction of Zhaojiabao. After more than 20 days of practice and recuperation, these people were also much more energetic. They didn't feel hard to walk this road at all. That is, about an hour or so, he walked less than ten miles away from Zhaojiabao.

They were very careful all the way for fear of meeting some officers and soldiers, but they basically didn't see anyone along the way, which made them gradually relieved. At this time, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded in the distance, and Xiao Tianjian immediately asked everyone to list a horizontal The team blocked the way and made a warning gesture.

After a while, Shi Ran rode a horse and ran over quickly. After seeing that it was Shi Ran, everyone relaxed.

After Shi Ran approached Xiao Tianjian, he turned over and jumped off his horse and came over quickly. Xiao Tianjian saw that Shi Ran's expression seemed to be very bad, so he immediately asked, "How is Zhao Jiabao?"

Shi Ran quickly hugged his fist and said, "If you go back to the plate! Zhao Jiabao is destroyed!"

"What? Tell me in detail!" Xiao Tianjian asked as soon as he heard it.

"Palm plate, I'm afraid we've come for nothing this time! When I arrived at Zhaojiabao just now, I saw that it had been ordered and many houses had been burned! The little care came closer and took a closer look. It turned out that more than 20 officers and soldiers were scourged in the castle. That's miserable! Let's change places! Those officers and soldiers came out to meet us after the disaster! His mother's officers and soldiers are more ruthless than our poles. We just want to eat and drink, but they... They are not human beings, they are all beasts!" Shi Ran said with an angry look on his face.

After hearing this, everyone also shook their heads one after another. For them, they have long been used to this kind of thing. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has long been abolished military discipline. Speaking of it, it is officers and soldiers, but officers and soldiers are much more fierce to the common people than bandits. There is a saying that the image is like combing, and soldiers are like shaving, that is to say, the thief's soldiers. In the past, it's enough to rob some big people and get some food and money. For ordinary people, it is not very ferocious, but the army is more ferocious than the thieves. They will not let go of anything. The place they pass is like a razor, and nothing will be left behind.

Among these people under Xiao Tianjian, several people's villages were not destroyed in the hands of thieves, but in the hands of officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers are looting everywhere under the banner of suppressing thieves. The thieves and soldiers are not very good. They harm the common people, but they are familiar with the road and extremely vicious. In order to repay their merit, they don't even It's really too much to kill a good man and use the heads of ordinary people to ask for credit from above. At this time, there are really too many things! So everyone was not surprised and looked at Xiao Tianjian waiting for him to turn around and change places.

"What's the specific situation in the village now?" Xiao Tianjian originally wanted to take people around and walk down, but he couldn't help asking more questions.

Shi Ran shook his head and replied depressedly, "I don't know how this officer and soldier came here. The small estimate is that the brigade was scattered by a large pole and ran here. There were not many of them, only about 20 people, and a few injured. I guess there was no place to vent their anger, so they took Zhao Jiabao's people to vent their anger. The small ones were far away. Look, they drove out all the people in the village, and the food and animals were also robbed out. The people left in the village were basically killed, and the heads were cut off. These bastards are the women in the village scourge castle! More than a dozen young and strong men in Zhaojiabao escaped. I saw them hiding in the distance of the village and crying! The little one had no choice but to retreat quietly!"

"Damn it!" The iron head squatted on the ground, hit the ground with a heavy punch, and cursed, and the rest of the people also scolded.

When Xiao Tianjian heard that there were not many officers and soldiers, and those things, his heart suddenly jumped. When he heard that there were more than a dozen young and strong men alive in Zhao Jiabao, his heart beat faster.

(The old rule, you read the book, I code the words, how about leaving the red ticket? Give me some encouragement!)
