At this time, Xun Xiu led the Xun family army to attack a house in Meng County. This was the residence of the young emperor and the temporary office of the imperial court. Zhao Ming and others were inside.
At the same time, a team composed of rangers and refugees also arrived outside the gate of Meng County. Zhao Shen was about to ask his entourage to go to the gate to talk to someone and reveal their identity so that he could take his friends into the city.
Suddenly, a team of a hundred people approached the city gate and suddenly drew their swords and slashed at the people guarding the city gate. The people entering and exiting the city gate screamed and immediately scattered in fear.
Zhao Shen's eyes narrowed and his expression suddenly sank.
The attendant was also startled, and immediately asked: "Lang Jun, is there someone making trouble or... they are all wearing similar armor, which side are we helping?"
You have to help, after all, this is Yuzhou, the territory of Zhao Jiajun. They had a difficult and dangerous journey from Shu to Jingzhou, and were driven all the way from Yangzhou to Xuzhou, and then passed through Yanzhou. Wasn't it just to come back to help Zhao Jiajun?
Zhao Shen immediately took out the turtle shell in his arms and made a fortune with a sullen face. As soon as the turtle shell fell to the ground, he just glanced at it, took it out and stuffed it into his arms, then pulled out the long sword with a swipe and pointed it at the city gate.
He shouted loudly: "Brothers, someone is making trouble in the city, follow me and charge -"
Finally he shouted: "Kill the people with red stripes on their helmets, kill them -"
The scattered team behind him immediately cheered up, picked up various weapons, and rushed towards them while shouting "Kill..." -
Captain Shi, who was guarding the city gate, saw Xun Ping from the Xun Family Army leading a group of men and horses, seemingly on patrol. He snorted in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to step forward to greet him.
The county guard said that peace should be the most important thing before the general comes back. Xun Sheng was executed by the county guard. Xun Xiu and the Xun family army had grievances. They had to wait until the general came back to deal with them. They just tolerated this tone.
As a result, he had just taken a few steps forward when Xun Ping suddenly pulled out his knife. His eyes widened instantly, and he immediately drew out his knife and shouted, "Hold the city gate!"
Before they finished speaking, a group of troops from the Xun family army were already attacking them.
Zhao Jiajun was unprepared for them, his movements were a moment slower, and he was at a disadvantage in that moment.
But Lieutenant Shi quickly found his rhythm and shouted loudly: "Form up a three-man formation and kill them back!"
The somewhat chaotic Zhao Jiajun quickly found the backbone. After hearing the words, they quickly formed a formation with the people around them. In just thirty breaths, they barely resisted the Xun Jiajun's attack and at the same time slowly regained their rhythm.
At this moment, another team came rushing from the city. Colonel Shi took a moment to take a look, and felt a chill in his heart. It was the Xun family army.
Reinforcements from the Xun family army arrived, and when Shi Xiaowei was gritting his teeth and trying to defend the gate with his life, suddenly there was a cry of killing outside the city gate.
He was horrified, thinking that the Xun family's army was trying to counterattack from inside and outside. He kicked the person in front of him away and killed him with a sword. Just as he was about to turn back to face the enemy, a down-and-out young man at the head had already passed him and slashed directly at Xun.
flat.
After slashing twice in succession, oh, no, it was two swords, the young man turned the sword in his hand, turned around to dodge the attack, picked up the sword, took a look at it and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is not a knife, but a sword."
After saying that, he lowered his sword slightly, and when he raised it again, he was as dexterous as a dragon. His body moved like an ape, and he didn't know how to move the sword. He crossed Xun's usual sword and slashed across his neck...
Lieutenant Shi's eyes widened as he saw the people he brought rushing in from outside the city with a roar, and directly attacked the Xun Army. Because of the large number of people, the Zhao Army instantly had the advantage.
They quickly captured two groups of Xun's troops and recaptured the city gate.
Although they had just fought side by side, Lieutenant Shi could not believe the young man. While he sent someone to inform the governor that the Xun family army had rebelled, he stared at the young man and his group, "Who are you?"
Judging from their ragged clothes, they seemed to be refugee soldiers.
But the young man's posture was calm, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like a refugee. Instead, he had the carefree look of a young man from an aristocratic family. When Shi Xiaowei looked at him, he felt that he looked familiar.
Zhao Shen is not a person who knows how to sell things. When asked, he immediately said: "I am Zhao Shen. My father's name is taboo."
Shi Xiaowei slowly converted in his mind. His first name was Ming, so he would be called Ming. His surname was Zhao, so Zhao Ming...
He reacted, his eyes widened slightly, he looked him up and down and asked, "What's the proof?"
An even messier young man squeezed in from behind with a knife in his hand and shouted: "I have the voucher."
He dug around in his arms and took out a piece of paper and showed it to him.
This is a road guide. I really didn’t expect that in this day and age, people would still use road guides. Since the chaos in the world, this thing has existed in name only. Who still uses road guides to go out?
However, Shi Xiaowei still took it and looked at it. It contained Zhao Shen’s identity information.
The road guide is in the household registration, it's all there, and there's also a description of Zhao Shen's appearance.
However, Zhao Shen was only fourteen years old when he left home. He had been gone for five or six years and his appearance was completely different. At least it was written above that he had white skin, big eyes, and eyebrows like distant mountains, but he couldn't tell.
He felt that the person in front of him had dark skin, bright eyes, eyebrows like sharp swords, unkempt beard, and loose hair...
But don't tell me, if you look closely, you really look like a county guard.
So Lieutenant Shi handed the road guide back to him, cupped his fists and said, "At last, I will pay my respects to Mr. Lang."
Zhao Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with his visit. He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. What's going on? Is there someone making trouble in the city?"
He looked surprised, "Didn't we say that our Zhao family army is extremely powerful and our third sister is highly respected? Why are there people in the city causing trouble?"
Lieutenant Shi quickly explained their grievances with the Xun Family Army, "Not long ago, General Xun was seriously injured and fell into coma when he fought against the Shi Army. The Xun Family Army retreated privately without obeying military orders. The county guard was furious and killed Xun Sheng. Since then, there have been many Xun Family Army soldiers.
Resentment, coupled with the fact that the general surrendered the Stone Army some time ago..."
Zhao Shen didn't know who Xun Sheng was, but it didn't stop him from understanding this long series of explanations. It took him a long time, but it was still his father's fault.
Zhao Shen immediately asked: "How many Xun's troops are there in the city, and how many Zhao's troops are there?"
Shi Xiaowei said: "The Zhao family's army is ten thousand, and the Xun family's army is only ten thousand, but there are more than thirty thousand Xun family's troops outside the city."
Zhao Shen: "Who guards the various city gates?"
"We Zhao Jiajun are guarding the two city gates," Colonel Shi said after a pause: "Originally, Xun Jiajun guarded the two city gates, and Zhao Jiajun guarded the two city gates, but since General Xun woke up, the county guards have made adjustments."
It seems that his father is still on guard, but...
Zhao Shen immediately said: "Immediately select thirty people, three in a team, take the order, and order the other three city gates to be closed immediately and no entry or exit is allowed. The remaining seven teams will be divided into Ningling, Suixian, Wuping and
Chen County is asking for help, please hurry!"
After that, he raised his sword and said to the ragged people behind him: "Brothers, you followed me all the way from Shu to here, don't you just want to make achievements? Today, your opportunity to make achievements has come!"
