I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 150
On the clearing in the forest, Liu Jian and Zhao Yun sat on the ground.

Zhao Yun crossed his knees and sat quietly opposite Liu Jian. He lowered his head, frowning, and his expression was extremely complicated.

And behind Zhao Yun, his so-called "husbands and dogs" and "idle people in the market" also sat cross-legged behind Zhao Yun, no matter their demeanor or posture, they were all exactly the same as Zhao Yun, which was surprisingly neat.

Liu Jian looked back and forth at the group of teenagers in front of him, shook his head, and sighed:
"Idlers in the market, walking dogs and falcons, ignorant and incompetent, not human, but in fact, they are clearly a group of young men who have worked hard and have ambitions... The day before yesterday at your Zhao family, you are waiting for friends , the appearance of being loud and noisy is all pretending, right?"

Faced with Liu Jian's questioning, Zhao Yun did not make a sound at first.

But then, he seemed to have figured it out, and said:
"Yes!"

Liu Jian leaned forward again: "You are at odds with your elder brother, and you were rude in front of me and other people. You and your elder brother have already discussed it, right?"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "Yes!"

Liu Jian continued: "The so-called volunteer soldiers under your elder brother Zhao Jun are all fake. You don't have two thousand volunteer soldiers in Zhending County! Right?"

Zhao Yun said seriously: "There are rebels, but the number is less than two thousand."

Liu Jian said: "The so-called two thousand rebels are just a method used by your brother and the county magistrate Zhending to defraud the state and county of weapons, money and food? That's right? They are lying! You're lying to me!"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, he completely lacked the reckless young man he had when he was arguing with Zhao Jun at Zhao's house a few days ago.

At this moment, he seemed calm and calm, and there was no disturbance when Liu Jian broke the big secret between him and his brother.

This is the real young Zhao Yun, this is his true nature.

Including the group of teenagers behind him, none of them were as noisy and unruly as when Liu Jian saw them for the first time. They were all sitting upright, without losing their demeanor.

Liu Jianyan said: "From the first time I saw your so-called rebel army, I felt something was wrong. Although the soldiers of the rebel army looked very strong and practiced well, most of them didn't know each other. If it was really a rebel army from the village , most of them should be neighbors, and they must be familiar with each other, this is a major characteristic of the rebel army, and I can't hide it from my eyes!"

Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes."

"Also, in your Zhao family, you and your brothers were reprimanded by Zhao Jun as soon as you entered the door, and then your elder brother started arguing with you, making you unhappy and being rude to others, and since returning to the bedroom, it seems that there is no flaw , but when I think about it carefully, there were a lot of jerky and contrived actions during the period, but we all drank too much wine at the time, so we didn't think about it, "

"This is clearly your brother's deliberate attitude. Your elder brother didn't want you to have contact with us nobles, so he acted to argue with you, and you all deliberately lost your dignity in front of us to hide from us, right? "

Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "What Fang Bo said is right."

"As I expected, you are more or less aware of your brother and the county magistrate acting as a fake rebel army and defrauding the state and county of money and food. Your brother Zhao Jun and you are pretending to be like this to keep you out of the matter and to preserve your safety. you?"

The young Zhao Yun stood up, folded his hands, bowed to Liu Jian, and begged:

"Since Fang Bo has seen through us, Yun only asks Fang Bo to temporarily forgive my brother's crimes. Zhao Yun is willing to join the army as a soldier who committed crimes before the battle, and make up for it. When the big man guards the border, breaks the bandits and cuts off the enemy's head, he can atone for his brother's sin."

Behind Zhao Yun, those young men also stood up and bowed to Liu Jian together:

"I am willing to fight with my life, but if I have meritorious service, I don't ask for promotion and rewards, I only ask for atonement for Brother Zhao!"

Liu Jian raised his hand and said: "The court's laws are here, and I have the final say on what matters! You must follow the court's regulations!"

"It depends on whether you want to tell the truth!"

"Man, if you make a mistake once, you may still have a chance to make up for it, but if you make the mistake again and again, you will get deeper and deeper, and no one will be able to wait."

"The reason why I didn't expose Zhao Jun face to face three days ago is because I always felt that Zhao Jun is not a stupid and pedantic person who is greedy for money and profiteering and would use this stupid method to cheat money! There must be something hidden in it."

"Zhao Yun, today the envoy of the pastor came here secretly to hear your truth! What really happened, why did Zhao Jun commit such a heinous crime, if you know the details, just tell me!"

"I can't guarantee that I will spare Zhao Jun. He can't escape the guilt he deserves! But he shouldn't be punished, and the pastor will never favor him to take the blame for others. Of course, you don't have to say , I will verify it myself in the future, and you will decide on your own where to go!"

When the words fell, there was a gloomy silence in the field.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun was seen kneeling on the ground on one knee.

He clasped his fists towards Liu Jian and said, "Yun has heard the name of Liu Shijun who broke Xianbei for a long time, and seeing him today, he is indeed a hero! The heroic souls of Changshan's [-] heroes can rest in peace!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun turned his head, but the little brothers behind him said:

"Kneel down to Uncle Fang!"

brush!
Seeing all these teenagers knelt down in front of Liu Jian, their movements were shockingly neat.

Even Liu Jian and Cheng Pu, who have fought battles for a long time, are also very surprised at this moment.

Really well trained!
Zhao Yun stood up and walked to the side of the first boy.

That young man was the one who gave wild things to Zhao Jun at Zhao's house the day before yesterday, but was refuted by Zhao Jun and told him to take them back.

Zhao Yun said, "Lan, take off your outer clothes."

The boy took off his outer clothes without saying a word.

On his ungrown body, there were three deep scars on his chest. Although the scabs had fallen off to reveal new flesh, they were still shocking. One could imagine how seriously this young man had been injured.

Zhao Yundao: "Uncle Fang, I'm telling you the truth! When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Chang Shan's Prime Minister and Chang Shan King all abandoned their country and left. The thieves who had been hiding in the Taihang Mountains took advantage of the Yellow Turban to riot, took advantage of the fire, and repeatedly sent troops. To loot the counties, I, Zhending County, bear the brunt!"

"At that time, the Taihang thieves plundered the warehouses in the county, and they were still not satisfied, but the Wubao on the right side of the county was heavily guarded, and there were disciples to help them, so the thieves did not dare to attack, so they made disasters for the village. The wealth and grain of the villagers were plundered by thieves, how many people's fathers and brothers were killed by thieves, and how many people's mothers, aunts, wives and sisters were insulted by thieves!"

"At that time, Chu Yan and his father called on the villagers to hide in the mountains and forests, but there were still some people who couldn't leave. What about those villagers who couldn't go into the mountains and could only guard their homes and land? There were no soldiers in the country, could they be thieves? harm?"

"So my brother Zhao Jun recruited the young and strong in the village to form a rebel army, self-sufficient, and use the people as the army to resist the bandits!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun stretched out his finger to the young man with his upper body exposed, and said: "This is my sworn brother Xia Houlan. He lost his father since he was young, and there are only two older brothers Xiahouzhi and Xiahouqi in the family. All three brothers respond to my elder brother. Call, join the rebel army to protect Zhending!"

"The three brothers defended Zhending. When the two elder brothers fought against the thief, they fought bravely and died. Lan was 15 years old this year. He was stabbed three times in the chest by a thief and nearly died. He had to lie in bed for two months before getting up. Lan's mother body Weak people can't farm. After the thief retreats, he can only sell the land to the nobles in the county at a low price to buy medicine for Lan to heal his injuries. A family of men lost their lives in order to protect Zhending, but in the end even the fields are gone. Shouldn't the court give money and food? Pension?!"

When he said this, the eyes of the young Zhao Yun were faintly misty, his teeth trembled slightly, and his voice was a little excited.

He took a deep breath and walked to another kneeling boy.

"Take off your clothes and show Fang Bo!"

The boy took off his clothes, and there was a large scar on his lower left abdomen. Although the surrounding skin had healed, it was torn and bloody.

"This is Chen Xiong from my village. His father, his uncle, and his elder brother were all killed by thieves when they were defending against Taihang thieves. His family killed 17 thieves and rescued more than [-] captive women and children. But he got nothing! When his father was a thief and shot him with a rain of arrows, Chen Xiong was hit by an arrow in his stomach, and he was still wounded and tried to carry his father's body back to the battle. His mother cried for three days, unable to see her eyes, and Chen Xiong took care of his mother. After the war, the Susukita family also bought and merged with Haoyou, so they deserved the whole family to go to death without even stuttering food!"

Liu Jian was silent when he heard this.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and pointed at a young man: "This brother Wang Huanwang was thirteen years old. Both his parents died at the hands of thieves, and his two sisters were robbed by thieves into the Taihang Mountains. His life and death are still unknown! If my brother hadn't brought him in Rebels, feed him, he will not survive now, let alone want to join the rebels to avenge his parents! But their house was burned down, and the house was directly occupied without even selling it. Take care of him?!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "Take off all your clothes! Show Fang Bo!"

Under Zhao Yun's command, everyone took off their clothes.

It's just a group of teenagers, everyone is more or less scarred, which is shocking.

Zhao Yun pursed his lips, his eyes were slightly red, and asked Liu Jian, "There were indeed two thousand rebels at the beginning, but now, there are only less than 300 left, and the 700 are already dead souls! The ones who arrived were the gangsters who were borrowed by the magistrate of Zhending County, and they were all slaves from various families!"

"Fang Bo saw two thousand fake rebels at this moment, but he didn't know that the one thousand seven hundred people who died fought for this land without the state minister, county magistrate, and officers and soldiers. In Wubao on the right, there are people with money and food, but they are just watching from the sidelines, as long as the bandits don’t hit the gate of Wubao, they have never left a single person!”

"But now, the thieves have retreated, Changshan is peaceful, and a new county magistrate has arrived... But the family members of the [-] sons who died have no one to support them, and the fields they left behind have been invaded by those spectators. My Zhao family almost We exhausted all our food reserves and failed to resettle a few families!"

"At this time, my elder brother can choose to ignore it, or he can choose not to ask, but if so, my Zhao family will have no face in the world!"

"Chu Yan can abduct villagers into the village as thieves, but my Zhao family can't! What my brother can do is to compromise with the county magistrate, unite with the heroes, falsely spread the power of the righteous army, and defraud the county and country of money and food! Brother is not doing it for money, he just wants those [-] neighbors to rest in Jiuquan, that's all."

Liu Jian asked: "Since that's the case, after your brother got my promise, why did you specially invite me to make a real decision? Are you not afraid that I will see the flaw?"

"He's afraid! But there's no other way. Fang Bo promised so much money, food and equipment, but how could he easily agree to it? How can the country release food without seeing a real person?"

Liu Jian said again: "The Haoyou families will not cooperate with you for nothing. How much do they want for the luggage and goods promised to you by the state and county?"

"Seventy percent."

Liu Jian's fists couldn't help clenching.

After a while, his hands loosened again.

He looked at the group of young men who were still kneeling in front of him.

These children are all fighting on the front line with their families in order to defend Zhending, and they end up with nothing.

They are all the orphans of the dead souls of Zhending Yingjie.

Perhaps, they are the real orphans of the Zhao family.

"You all, get up." Liu Jian's voice was somewhat trembling.

　I will update here today, [-] words, I am a little tired from working during the day, I will try to add as much as possible tomorrow
