The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

That night, Zu Zhao did not return to Beiguo Pavilion.

He and Zhang Fei, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Pre and others gathered in the Han family's mansion. The town of Fan'an Pavilion is still busy, most of them are still rescuing the fire, and some are calming the wounded and stabilizing the people. Although it is said that there are thieves every year, and natural and man-made disasters are indispensable every year, when disasters happen to them, no one will say "I have long Xi been used to it".

Although the scale of the attack was not very large, and it was easily defeated by the thieves, the real mastermind behind the attack was still at large, which was much to everyone's chagrin. Especially Zu Zhao, this is not the first time he has encountered the "Northland Wolf" he has encountered, and this guy dares to send someone to set up an ambush in a vain attempt to kill himself. Of course, the more important thing is that behind the "Northland Wolf", there is another mysterious figure.

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

However, in today's battle, there was finally a clue that could be pursued, so Zu Zhao and the others decided to start negotiations immediately.

Shi Cai learned the clues from the torture of the captured thieves, these thieves had been marching to Xu Wu County on foot since the day before yesterday. Before that, the "Northland Wolves" had spent at least half a month gathering the displaced people to form this attack team. From this, it is not difficult to speculate that the captured thieves must be able to lead Zu Zhao and others to find their previous hiding place, in addition, the "Northland Wolf" does not use his own command, but chooses to gather the displaced people, which must have other intentions behind it.

"In that case, we should immediately send someone to that place to take a look, maybe the Northland wolf's thief hasn't had time to escape, just in time to catch him off guard." After listening to Zu Zhao's words, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say at first. Although his injuries are not light, the young man's strong mind can always support his fragile body, and at this time, he wishes to be ashamed as soon as possible, so that those thieves can taste their strength.

"Uncle, what do you think?" Zhang Yuan was still able to hold his breath and asked Zhang Fei for advice.

Zhang Fei pondered for a moment, and did not say anything for a while.

"It's freezing right now, and it's late at night, don't you say that those thieves will go the wrong way, even if they can lead the way, it's really irrational for us to go to other places, and the enemy is dark and I am clear. Even if you want to go, you have to wait until after dawn to make enough preparations. At this time, Zu Zhao said solemnly.

"As the saying goes, soldiers are fast, if the thieves run back to report tonight, and go to the thieves of the Northland wolf, wouldn't we rush over again in the end?" Zhang Yu said with some eagerness.

"The Northland wolf doesn't use its own people, but recruits homeless people everywhere, obviously to make more preparations. Even if we go to find their hiding place now, that hiding place may only be a temporary hiding place, and the Northland wolf may not be there. You know, even if it's an outcast, he won't be unguarded. Zu Zhao explained meticulously.

"So, what now?" Zhang Yu sighed.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will send a team to the hiding place of these displaced people to see if I can find any new clues. The Northland Wolf deliberately arranged for the homeless to attack, and it will never be untargeted, and this thief will have the next move nine times out of ten. The top priority at the moment is to brace ourselves and take strict precautions. Zu Zhao said calmly.

"Alas, take strict precautions, take strict precautions, we have more than 800 people, but we can't help a little thief, it's really... Alas..."Zhang said with annoyance.

"Don't be impatient. What the ancestor said is good, what he does to prepare for thieves is to prevent thieves, it is just his duty. Zhang Fei reprimanded with majesty. In fact, he was extremely reluctant to take the initiative, not only was it extremely risky, but also the preparation of theft was a thankless task, if there were really three long and two short, it would be a more heavy loss than being sacked by thieves.

"Okay, then." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and said nothing else.

After resting in the Han family's mansion until dawn, Zu Zhao led the children of Benzu and the Zhang family to set off together.

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

When passing by Beiguo Pavilion, Zu Zhao asked Zu Cheng to be responsible for handing over the thieves to the county government, and told Chen Xianjun on his behalf, saying that these thieves were just ordinary homeless people who didn't know much, so there was no need to impose embarrassment. After returning to Beiguo Pavilion, Zu Zhao met his grandfather, carefully recounted the events of last night, and decided to send a team of fast horsemen to investigate the hiding place of those homeless people.

Zu Ju originally thought that this matter was risky, and he should gather more teams to prepare for the thief pavilion and go to Fang Quan together.

Zu Zhao firmly believed that the "Northland Wolf" would not be encountered in the hiding place of the homeless, and even if he did, the knight sent could delay while asking for help from the nearest pavilion team. The reason why he wanted to send someone to go on a trip was nothing more than to find some clues at the scene or nearby, so as to facilitate further investigation, nothing more.

In the end, Zu Ju could only agree to Zu Zhao's arrangement, and handed it over to Zu Zhao to select a team of Benzhuang disciples to go.

In the afternoon, all the knights sent back to the place, and sure enough, as Zu Zhao had speculated, it was already empty, and although there were many scattered traces, it was very difficult to trace them, 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 governor of the southern part of Youbeiping County, to lead the army of his own group and march to Changcheng on the same day to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. This should be good news for the Zu family, and it is obvious that it was the petition sent by Zu Zhao to Gongsun Zhan that was approved by Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot cavalry, and instigated the state government to issue such an order. However, for Zu Zhao personally, he had another doubt in his heart, if it was really his petition that was appreciated by Zhang Wen, why didn't Gongsun Chan reply to the letter as soon as possible? Instead, wait for the news from the county government?

However, even so, he can only think that it is Zhang Wen's matter-of-fact affairs, or Gongsun Zhan's negligence.

Also in the afternoon of this day, Zu Zhao was in his residence, sorting out the final stereotypes of the saddle and stirrups, when suddenly a servant ran to the door to report that the scout sent to Lingzhi County had returned and had something important to report to him.

Hearing this, Zu Zhao immediately put down the brush in his hand, and after asking the scout to wait in the backyard now, he immediately ran to the door.

When he came to the backyard, he called the scouts who had returned from Lingzhi County to the side hall. The other party's name is Wu Yang, and his mother is a fellow of the ancestral family, although the family background is not superior, but she is shrewd and capable. At this time, he concluded that Wu Yang's expression was a little dignified, but there was also a bit of excitement in his eyes, and it could be seen that he had indeed discovered a great piece of information.

"What news is so urgent in Lingzhi County?"

"Eldest son, something is going to happen in Lingzhi County, someone has found that a group of rogues are gathering in Yangshan, there may be two or three hundred people, who are coming in the direction of Lingzhi County, I'm afraid there will be movement in the next two days." Wu Yang said with a slightly excited tone.

"How did you find out?" Zu Zhao's face was not shocked, and he asked calmly.

It can be said that the most dangerous and troublesome encounter of thieves has always been prepared, because there are usually a large number of rogues, and in the process of marching, more homeless and poor people will be brought to join, and the momentum will become more and more like a snowball.

Not only that, but unlike ordinary thieves, they don't sneak around and do some looting, but march to the towns and villages with great fanfare. Sometimes it may be easy to talk, after all, most of the rogues will be coerced by some locals, who are just trying to get a bite to eat, and as long as the town is willing to pay food, these people will still disperse on their own. However, once someone provokes or instigates it, the situation will be very bad.

As the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, one dies horizontally and vertically, and when he walks to the rogue, you can imagine how much resentment he has accumulated.

"It was the people who fled from Yangshan who said it, and they also said that these rogues went all the way west from Qian'an, and Qian'an County handed over some grain to let the rogues go west. The villains in Yangshan are poor, and they have been ruined by the rogues when they hand over the grain. Lingzhi County has been under martial law, and the righteous people are panicking, and the rogues have not yet arrived, and they are already in chaos. Wu Yang hurriedly said.

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

"It was yesterday's news." Wu Yang Road.

"Yangshan is less than eighty miles away from Lingzhi County, and Liukou's itinerary will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. Two or three hundred people is really a lot, but Ling Zhixian has been prepared for a long time and should be able to deal with it. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."Zu Zhao said this, his face looked a little solemn, he didn't continue, but he already knew it in his heart.

"Eldest son, although I heard yesterday that there were two or three hundred Liukou, it was before Yangshan. Now that Yangshan has passed, I don't know how many Liukou have increased. Lingzhi has no border with me, so I am afraid that it will implicate us. Wu Yang said.

"Don't worry. If the situation is really critical, the county government will definitely send someone to the county to ask for help, and then think about it in the long run. Zu Zhao said unhurriedly. He said this on the surface, but of course he had other thoughts in his heart, but he had to hide it for the time being until everything was decided.

"Then, do you want to tell the old man and Chen Xianjun about this matter?" Nodding slowly, Wu Yang asked again.

"There is no way to hide this important matter. I'll let my grandfather know in person later. Zu Zhao said slowly.

"Yes."
