Chapter 48 Fishing in Muddy Water 2
Zhao Xin followed Lian Po to Zhan Loufan and Lin Hu. He became famous in the first battle, and he was also promoted to lieutenant, and he was also qualified in terms of status. In addition, the master's father was very fond of Zhao Xin, so he handed over the special army of Yulin to him. However, most of these Yulin are noble children. They have been arrogant and domineering since childhood. Zhao Xin became their leader at the age of 14, and they are naturally unconvinced.
Zhao Xin is not afraid. Since he was a child, what he is most afraid of is fighting and making trouble. What is popular in the army is nothing more than the biggest fist. Zhao Xin is good at martial arts. He can't get into his body when he is idle. Rare people with strong martial arts are not his opponents.
On the way from the clouds to Daijun, Zhao Xin killed all sides and beat the thorns in these armies obediently. In addition, Zhao Xin is bold. He doesn't color his money at a young age. Every time he gives him a salary, he eats and drinks with everyone. Because he has been following his master for a long time and has made friends with Lang Zhongling Han Sheng, the army grain officials also sell his face. Every time he gives Yulin, he gives priority to good wine and meat, which is cheaper for everyone.
The army is different from other places, and people get along with each other relatively simply. Although these Yulin Erlang did not accept Zhao Xin at first, they could not beat him, and were bought by his good wine and meat. Gradually, they no longer resisted him. Zhao Xin was also able to hold the army he had won in his hands.
Yulin is different from other armies, and the military position is much higher than that of other Zhao soldiers with the same number. One hundred and seven people are divided into two parts. On the left is Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Qu, who is the son of Zhang Shi, the guard of Shangdang County; on the right, Li Wei, the Marquis of Qu, is the Li clan of the Handan clan. In terms of kinship, he is still Zhao Xin's distant cousin.
Zhang Xin is much more stable because he was born a general and older than these people. No matter what he thought about Zhao Xin becoming his superior at a young age, at least he did it with his respect. Zhao Xin was not allowed by everyone when he first came to Yulin, and he tried his best to maintain it.
On the contrary, Li Wei is very rude to Zhao Xin, a distant cousin. Originally, the position of lieutenant Yulin was vacant all year round. He and Zhang Xin were both Qu Hou, and they were both strong competitors for the position of lieutenant. The two have been fighting indisputably and secretly, and they both want to suppress each other's head.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin, a man who surrendered from the air, failed their wishes. Zhang Xin was still quite knowledgeable. When he saw that his master's father was fond of Zhao Xin, he kept more careful not to embarrass Zhao Xin. Li Wei couldn't swallow this breath. He always tried his best to make the people in the Yulin and Zhao Xin embarrassed him. It was not until he was beaten and blue after the comparison with Zhao Xin that he restrained a lot.
There is no respect, but what Zhao Xin ordered is still done one by one. When Zhao Xin saw that he was no longer openly embarrassed with himself, he did not pay attention to him. One day when he returned to Handan, he would definitely find his uncle Li Dui and let him teach him a lesson about the important guy in the Li family.
It has been nearly a day since he sneaked into the hinterland of Zhongshan. Zhao Xin led his troops to carefully survey nearly a hundred miles, not to mention the Zhongshan army, not even a Zhongshan civilian. On the contrary, I met a lot of abandoned villages. I think Zhongshan was worried about being plundered by the Zhao army, so it gave up these barrier-free villages and countryside.
Zhao Xin has no more than a hundred people, so he naturally dares not gallop in the wilderness. If it is found by the Zhongshan army in the city, a large army will be sent to encircle and suppress it.
You should know that although the cavalry in Zhongshan has declined, there are still thousands of cavalry, and it is easy to eat Zhao Xin. Therefore, Zhao Xin was silent all the way and did not dare to make a sound. He just carefully sneaked on the field. When he saw the pass of the city, he avoided far away and did not dare to approach.
Seeing that the sun was falling and it didn't take long for him to go to night, Zhao Xin led his army into an abandoned village in Zhongshan, intending to spend the night here.
With clear water, Zhao Xin sat on the haystack of a temple and chewed the dried meat absent-mindedly, but he was thinking about how to cross the master. This is the first time he has led an army in the war. If he returns without success, he will not be able to face it.
He also wanted to take this rare opportunity to perform well. After all, the military achievements he obtained last time were completely picked up in vain after Lian Po. At that time, when he charged, his mind was blank. He just followed Lian Po's figure to charge and kill people desperately, and there was no other consciousness at all.
It's a pity that the Zhongshan people have already withdrawn today, and it is difficult for them to get useful information.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help sighing slightly, thinking that this was also a helpless thing, and it was better not to force it. For generals, they should avoid being greedy for merit. If they die, they are afraid that all their men will be left here.
Several people around him saw that Zhao Xin frowned and knew that he was in a bad mood, so they did not disturb him.
A sound of steady footsteps came. Zhao Xin didn't need to look and knew that Zhang Xin was coming, so he looked up and asked casually, "Have all the brothers been settled?"
Zhang Xin nodded and said, "It has been arranged. Li Wei took five people to explore the surroundings. I left ten vigilance, and the other brothers have been arranged."
Zhao Xin smiled when he heard the words. Although Li Wei, a cousin, is very bad, one thing is very good, that is, he is extremely cautious. Everywhere you go without instructions, you will inevitably take the trouble to personally take people to explore the surroundings.
Handing over the water bag around his waist, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "This is the wine that has just been warmed. Brother Zhang, please have a few sips."
Zhang Xin took a few sips, hesitated and sat down and said, "Captain, today we have returned without success. I think Zhongshan people have been prepared for a long time, and I'm afraid we will return without success no matter how long we stay. And after all, this is the hinterland of Zhongshan. Their eyes and ears should be far better than ours. If it attracts their attention, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to retreat.
Zhao Xin nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to explore deeper for another day. A day later, whether we have obtained military information or not, we will immediately return to the division."
Zhang Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and he was immediately relieved. To be honest, he was really afraid that Zhao Xin, a fledgling boy, didn't know the importance. He was blindly greedy and would leave his and his brothers' names in this place. Now it seems that although Zhao Xin is young, he is competitive, which is a good thing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zhang Xin smiled and was about to make a joke, but when he saw a burst of rapid footsteps outside the house, he quickly stood up with Zhao Xin.
Li Wei's rough voice came, "Captain, there is a Zhongshan army five miles ahead, about 200 people, all of whom are cavalry, are coming towards the village."
Zhao Xin's face tightened and quickly asked, "How much time do we have?"
Li Wei said in a low voice, "They are not marching. They look in a hurry, as if they have something important to do. At most, a ray of incense will come to us."
Zhang Xin, who was beside him, said anxiously, "I'll inform my brothers to gather, and it's not too late to withdraw." After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhao Xin from behind.
"Hence." Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, looked at Li Wei with a solemn face and asked again, "Is there a rear army behind this Zhongshan army?"
"No." Li Wei shook his head affirmatively, "I looked carefully and made sure that it was just a single cavalry.
"Zhang Xin, tell your brothers that the prey will come to you and let everyone cheer up and do a good job."
Zhang Xin was stunned at first, and then lost his voice; "Captain, what do you want to do?" The other party is twice as much as us. Even if we win, if they escape one person, we will definitely call an army to surround us.
Zhao Xin said with a smile and said confidently, "That simple answer is not to let them leave alone."
The number of people is at a disadvantage, but they have to be completely annihilated. At this moment, not to mention Zhang Xin, even Li Wei, who has always been bold, was scared by Zhao Xin's words and looked at him together.
"Zhang Xin, you immediately gather the crowd, and you and Li Wei, take your brothers to abandon their horses and hide them. People go to the roofs and trees on both sides of the village. Remember to hide. Seeing that I'm ordered to act, I'll kill you and shoot an arrow immediately.
Li Wei rolled his eyes and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
Zhao Xin smiled confidently and pretended to be mysteriously said, "I'll find a way to keep the Zhongshan cavalry in the village."
PS: A little outside the book, Jiangnan is really careful to write this book, including consulting the historical materials of the Warring States Period that are difficult to find, trying to restore the real style and characters of the Warring States Period, and avoiding the appearance of all kinds of thunder points...
