Chapter 21: The thief

Zhao Yan looked at the thief with a smile on his face and said with a gentle expression: "Which brother is your hero?"

"My elder brother is a monkey with a name." The thief said nervously. Zhao Shaxing was a murderer without blinking! Zhao Yan's gentleness made him feel creepy.

Zhao Yan cut down the leaders of thirteen thieves in Fengyang. The news of four or five thousand thieves' backbones had long been spread among the thieves. There is a saying that there is a King of Yan in Yunyang and Zhao Shaxing in Fengyang.

Gao Yingxiang returned to Shaanxi, and in addition to Hong Chengchou's troops leaving the pass, he also wanted to avoid Zhao Yan.

"Fantian Monkey, oh! I have long been famous!" Zhao Yan smiled, thinking that he was a not very famous bandit. He had heard of the name of Fantian Monkey, but most of the time, this Fantian Monkey was just a foil for other thieves leaders.

"Your Majesty, do you mean?" the thief asked cautiously.

"I'll give your elder brother two ways, one is a way to live and the other is a dead end. It depends on whether he understands or not and whether he is worthy of cooperation." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"Official, which one is the way to survive?" The thief was in a state of spirit. Zhao Shaxing seemed to not want to do anything, and there was room for recovery!

"Let your elder brother come to our military camp secretly tonight, and I will give him a clear road." Zhao Yan said as he waved to the thief: "You go back and tell him! Will love come or not?"

"Yes, lord." When the bandit saw Zhao Yan allowing him to leave, he seemed to be afraid that Zhao Yan would regret it, so he hurriedly retreated, left the barracks, quickly climbed up the horses, and left the road.

After the thief went out, Liu Heng touched his chin and said, "I don't know if this fish is hooked."

"It's okay not to take the bait, I'm just looking for a dead end." Zhao Yan said calmly.

...

At midnight, a man in his thirties and bearded quietly approached the military camp on a horse and was soon discovered by the soldiers who were on guard.

Usually, those who approached the barracks in the middle of the night were shot and killed, but this time they did not. They shouted: "Who?"

"Official, I'll meet your general." The man stretched out his head and shouted from afar.

"Come here! Our general is waiting for you!" said the sentry, and soon the man came over on a horse and led him to the camp under the leadership of the sentry.

This man was a frank monkey. After hearing his subordinates go back to report, he thought about it for a long time, but finally decided to come to the military camp for a trip.

If Zhao Shaxing wants to kill him, there is no need to be so troublesome. Since the official army said there is a way out, we can give it a try.

Outside the camp, more than a dozen personal guards were guarding there.

Seeing the monkey coming, he searched him inside and out, and after confirming that there was no weapon, he said to him: "Get in! The General is inside."

As soon as he entered the camp, Zhao Shaxing immediately saw a young man and couldn't help but be stunned for a while. In the afternoon, the younger brother who came to the military camp to spy on the wind told him that Zhao Shaxing was a very young boy. He was a little unbelievable, but he didn't expect it to be so.

The monkey stood there for a long time without any movement. Zhao Yan glanced at him coldly, continued to lean on the chair, looking at the book "Wu Bei Zhi" in his hand.

The monkey frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted, "The monkey sinners frankly, please pay homage to the general."

"Do you know your guilt?" Zhao Yan asked.

"The villain's real name is Han Sheng. He was originally a good citizen of Yan'an. He was unable to survive, so he had to raise an army and cause chaos. He knew that the blame was serious, so he came to surrender to the General. I hope that the General would give the criminal a chance to atone for his sins." The monkey first claimed his real name, and then happily admitted his guilt. He said it well and cleverly.

"This kind of evil deeds of burning and killing the people and doing things in the law, even if you kill you a hundred times, you will not be able to remove the blame." Zhao Yan snorted coldly, and said, "But the court is at the moment of hiring people. If you sincerely repent, you can give you a chance."

"General Xie, if you have the right to be punished, the right to be punished, the right to be punished will go through fire and water." Han Sheng's eyes turned around. He heard Zhao Yan's words, and wanted to recruit him. The government army would use the means of using tricks to encounter a difficult thief, but the situation in front of him was not the case. Zhao Shaxing could kill him by wielding his fingers. It was obviously useful to him, so he said generously.

Zhao Yan was sitting in a straight position and said directly: "I want to enter Handan, but I have no excuses. If you go back, you will take people north to kill you. You can take more people on the way, but you should not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Then attack Handan with all your strength. If you can capture Handan, it would be best."

"Handan!" Han Sheng said bitterly: "Sir, the sinners in Handan have been there for six years. The walls are thick and the city is high. It may be difficult to conquer them."

In the sixth year, the bandits attacked Handan, Xingtai, and Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to rescue him and protected Handan.

"It's okay, there are some artillery in my army. I'll let the artillery go with you later." Zhao Yan could be said to have a deviant sword, and even the artillery was supported by the bandits, which shows how envious he is of the iron ore and coal mines in Handan.

"After that matter is done..." Han Sheng was not sure how Zhao Yan would deal with him later.

"After the matter is done, you should be a general under my command!" Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp and he warned Han Sheng: "If you leak the news, I will take your head to the ends of the world and sacrifice your sword."

"I don't dare, but I don't dare." Han Sheng said in panic. Zhao Yangang promised to recruit him as a general, and immediately climbed up the pole.

"I dare not be the best. If you work together like this, you will benefit both sides!" Zhao Yan suddenly smiled and said softly: "Okay, you go back first! Just do what you said just now. Before attacking Handan, the wealthy families near Handan and Xingtai will be looted, especially the mines."

"Yes." Han Sheng replied, and then retreated respectfully.

...

After leaving the military camp, Han Sheng felt that his back was wet, and he had just burst into cold sweat. Thinking about Zhao Shaxing's explanation carefully, he was extremely confused.

Why did Zhao Shaxing ask me to attack Handan? Why did Zhao Shaxing do this? It’s obvious that Zhao Shaxing is an official army, but why did he do this?

Han Sheng thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but he understood very well. If he didn't do what Zhao Shaxing said, his head would probably be out of order. Didn't he see the person around him monitoring him?

There were dozens of people leaving with Han Sheng. The leader was Liu Heng, and the others were soldiers from the artillery battalion, and they were also pulling twenty field cannons.

These twenty cannons were the only ones brought out by Zhao Yan's army. They mainly considered that they might need to fight a tough battle, so they brought out thirty cannons, which were usually placed in the baggage battalion and were not taken out for use.

These people took off their recognizable outfits and put on tattered cotton jackets, not only assisting the thieves in attacking the tough situation, but also monitoring Han Sheng.

Rewards every two quarters of an hour. If no one comes to report, Zhao Yan's army will arrive in an instant. Han Sheng has no chance to run away.

The next morning, Han Sheng immediately took his bandits with more than 10,000 people to fight to the north slowly, and sent people to coax the nearby people along the way.

Regardless of men, women, age and young, they are all covered, and wherever they pass are empty.

Although the methods were a little arrogant, there were not many bloodshed under Han Sheng's constraints. Han Sheng's team soared rapidly from 10,000 people.

In order to have enough population in Handan, Zhao Yan had to use extraordinary means. Although some tragedies inevitably occurred, he didn't care about so many in this chaotic era.

Zhao Yan's army was hanging from behind from a distance. The infantry battalion was half a day away, and the cavalry battalion was only half an hour away.

Han Sheng was holding the people in front, while Zhao Yan recruited refugees in the back, and almost nine out of ten families passed by.

On the fourth day, the bandits finally entered Weihui Mansion. The marching speed was very slow. It was not until the eighth day that they arrived at Zhangde Mansion...
