After breaking through the bandit den, Zhao Erlang led his troops and rushed in, followed closely by Zhao Kuan and Fan Ying. They wanted to count the bandits. This was the most decent bandit den they had ever attacked so far. They thought there would be some property in it. Who could
I know that except for some grain and messy porcelain bowls and cloth, I am still almost as poor as the village down the mountain.
The soldiers were all disappointed.
Zhao Hanzhang, who was commanding from behind, was not in a hurry to go in and see the results of the battle. She walked around the battlefield and frowned slightly.
Soldiers came to drag away the body.
In a battle like this that is not a big one but is successful, the soldiers will be kind enough to dig a big hole and bury the enemy.
When Zhao Hanzhang saw them carrying the body and about to leave, he stopped them quickly. After thinking about it, he said, "Put up a tent and let Dr. Cheng come over."
Dr. Cheng came over with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the corpses lined up in two rows on the ground and said, "These are for you."
Doctor Cheng's eyes widened and he couldn't understand what Zhao Hanzhang meant for the moment.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Last time you removed arrowheads for Mr. Fu, your hands were not familiar, so I will give you these to practice."
Doctor Cheng's eyes widened.
Seeing his surprise, Zhao Hanzhang frowned slightly, "In addition to arrow wounds, you can also think about other wounds and sutures."
She said: "When you understand the human body well, you will also know how to treat some injuries."
"Yes, but this goes against the harmony of nature."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the corpses on the ground and said to him: "So we must respect these bodies. After we are done, we will sew the corpses back together and bury them properly."
"I will ask people to check their lives, and then you will give them separate graves."
In this place where corpses are everywhere, it would be nice to have a pit to bury them together. If that pit belongs to you alone, it would be a very high reward. As a general, Ma Jiaen will only have an independent pit when he dies.
Military doctor Cheng couldn't accept it for a while, but seeing Zhao Hanzhang's stern expression, the military doctor didn't dare to resist, so he agreed.
Zhao Hanzhang was satisfied, handed the body to him and went to the bandit's den.
This is a slightly steep mountain, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, there is a Wubao not far from here. The owner of Wubao is named Chen. However, they were relatively unlucky. They were first robbed by the Huns and then patronized by bandits.
However, they still took in many refugees passing by and tried their best to shelter them in the Wubao.
As soon as he heard that the bandits on the mountain next door had been wiped out, Master Chen immediately ran out of his house in tears, hitched his ox cart and went to see Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Cheng heard the cry and ran out from the side to see. When he saw Fort Master Chen pulling the bullock cart out, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Could it be that the bandits are coming again?"
"It's not the bandits," Fort Master Chen cried, "it's the envoy who has come. The bandits on the mountain have been wiped out, and our Wubao is safe."
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment. Lord Chen took advantage of his confusion to get on the oxcart and go out with his son. Two teenagers ran up behind Zhao Cheng and asked blankly: "Sir, is the envoy our third wife?"
?Isn’t it said outside that our third wife has become the governor of Yuzhou?”
Zhao Chengdao: "She just took over Yuzhou. It's not close to Chen County. She's busy, so she probably won't come in person. For things like suppressing bandits, she should send her subordinates."
"Maybe he is someone we know," the young man said with bright eyes, "Sir, let's go and have a look. If he really is someone we know, we can go to Chen County together!"
Zhao Cheng agreed after thinking about it for a while.
So they picked up their luggage and headed out.
The refugees who came with them saw this, and after a moment's thought, they all followed with their families.
The mountains here cannot be farmed, so all the people in the bandits' den were taken down the mountain. Because they resisted, their treatment was different from the previous bandits.
They will be imprisoned and directly forced to work as coolies. Nowadays, people are needed to plow fields, build roads, and build water conservancy projects. Even in mines, many people are needed.
Zhao Hanzhang was looking at the number of people counted by Zhao Kuan and Fan Ying. When he heard a burst of crying outside, he couldn't help but be startled, "Is it too late to cry now?"
It's been a long time since we fought.
Zhao Kuan went out to take a look, and after a while he hurriedly came in and said: "Your Majesty, here are the people from Chenjiawu Fort. There are many people here. The first ones to arrive are the Chen family and his son. They are crying in front of the camp gate."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he quickly got up and went out.
Fort Master Chen was holding Zhao Erlang's hand and crying in front of the camp gate. Zhao Erlang's face turned red, but there was nothing he could do. The other party didn't do anything bad, so he couldn't throw him away, right?
Just as he looked embarrassed, a familiar loud voice came, "Erlang!"
Erlang immediately looked up and saw his good friend, nine-year-old Zhao Zheng!
His eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Brother Zheng!"
He no longer cared about the person holding him crying, flicked his hand and ran straight to Zhao Zheng, ignoring Zhao Cheng who looked at him silently, hugged Zhao Zheng behind him, laughed loudly and said with a serious face
: "You have to call me Brother Erlang, I am the elder brother!"
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Erlang, please pay respects to my father quickly."
Only then did Zhao Erlang see Zhao Cheng, he raised his hands and clasped his fists, and said seriously: "Uncle Cheng."
Zhao Cheng asked him, "Who is leading the army?"
"It's me!" Zhao Erlang puffed out his chest, waiting for him to praise.
Zhao Cheng frowned, "Your sister wants you to be the leading general?"
Isn't that nonsense?
Zhao Erlang was keen and heard his doubts, and became unhappy, "Why can't I be the one? I have made many military exploits."
When Zhao Hanzhang hurried over with Zhao Kuan and others, what he saw was Zhao Erlang facing Zhao Cheng with an unhappy face. Hey, Zhao Cheng?
Zhao Hanzhang immediately quickened his pace and called from a distance: "Uncle!"
Zhao Cheng looked up and saw Zhao Hanzhang, his face brightened, and he nodded majestically and reservedly.
Zhao Hanzhang immediately greeted him with a smile, "Greetings to my uncle. I didn't expect to meet my uncle here. Please come in quickly."
She secretly glanced at Zhao Erlang and whispered: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you ask your uncle to come in?"
Zhao Erlang reluctantly invited him in.
Castle Master Chen watched blankly on the side, tears falling down his cheeks unconsciously. He was so stupid. Really, Zhao Cheng said that he came from Runan County and brought his nephew to join his niece.
And isn’t the largest Zhao surname in Runan County the Xiping Zhao family?
Your Majesty comes from the Zhao family in Xiping!
Castle Master Chen turned to pull Zhao Cheng and cried, "Brother Zhao, why didn't you tell me that the niece you wanted to defect to was the envoy..."
Zhao Cheng looked helpless and hurriedly comforted him, "Thieves are rampant and this place is not close to Chen County. We may not be able to defect to anyone. How can we talk about it?"
He did not attract other friends, but he attracted enemies. You must know that when Zhao Hanzhang was the governor of Yuzhou, he also made enemies.
Zhao Cheng had heard about it in the countryside, and many people speculated that it was her fault that Taishou Zhang died of illness. Some people said that she killed Taishou Zhang directly. There were almost all kinds of speculations, and there was no basis for them.
Zhao Cheng thought a little angrily, how could Sanniang be such a person?
