Chapter 140 The Helpless Killing

Zhao Lei hummed and said, "Go."

"No!" Wang Yue responded, bowed to Zhao Lei, and then left the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion.

"Wen Yuan." Zhao Lei called Zhang Liao at this moment.

"My lord, the last general is here." Zhang Liao stood up from the row of generals, and said respectfully to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei waved his hands helplessly again and said, "I've said it all, don't be so nervous, sit down and talk."

"No!" Zhang Liao returned to his seat.

Zhao Lei took a closer look at Zhang Liao this time. Since he came to Wu County, he had a lot of business, and he didn't have time to say a few words to Zhang Liao.However, just now Zhao Lei saw Zhang Liao walking, sitting and standing. Between his words and demeanor, he had the demeanor of a general. In the army, Zhang Liao's quack spirit gradually disappeared. up.Instead, he has the masculinity of a soldier, who looks like a general.It seems that besides Zhao Yun, Zhao Lei seems to have another general who can lead troops to fight.At this moment, Zhang Liao lifted up the armor in front of him and sat on the chair with his body upright and upright, like a statue sitting in front of Zhao Lei, in contrast to Zhao Yun's casual sitting beside him.

Zhao Lei looked at Zhang Liao, because Zhang Liao was the first general he recruited, so Zhao Lei's tone was not as harsh as he used to treat Wang Yue, but he said calmly: "Wen Yuan has been in Wu County for so long, you have worked hard Now, this time I will serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and you can also be promoted from captain to general."

After a pause, Zhao Lei said again: "But your official position has been promoted, but the number of soldiers under your command will decrease. I am going to dismantle the [-] troops that arrived in Yangzhou first."

Zhang Liao hurriedly asked, "Brother Lei, why is that?" After speaking, everyone laughed, Zhao Yun patted Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao reflected that he had said something wrong.

Thinking of the loss of military power, Zhang Liao's face showed a trace of anxiety. According to Zhao Lei's statement, he would rather not be promoted.Now Zhang Liao is leading the [-] soldiers. If Zhao Lei wants to go out, Zhang Liao will be able to lead the army at that time. He will be so powerful that he will even overwhelm Zhao Yun.

So after hearing Zhao Lei's words suddenly, Zhang Liao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless.Is the original soldier's aura gone?He didn't even call him the lord, and went directly to the most intimate title.

Zhao Lei saw Zhang Liao's expression in his eyes, and felt that Zhang Liao was still immature, he didn't know how to hide his emotions, and he still needed some training.He said lightly: "You don't have to worry, it's not about cutting your rights, I'm going to form a special army alone, led by you."

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said hastily, "My lord, please tell me."

At this moment, Zhang Liao felt joy again. He thought that after the troops were dismantled, he would have nothing to do. Now that Zhao Lei formed a separate army and led it by himself, Zhang Liao was extremely happy.

Zhao Lei said: "The army formed separately is 3000 people selected from the [-] Yangzhou soldiers and named "Stone Army." Because the word Lei in Zhao Lei's name is composed of three stones, Zhao Lei named it that way.

Zhang Liao asked: "Master, why did you form the Stone Army?"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, have you ever heard of Dong Zhuo's Flying Tiger Army? The Imperial Forest Army? Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong?"

After Zhang Liao heard this, there was a look of admiration on his face, and he said seriously: "None of the other two have heard of it, but Gongsun Zan Baima Yicong is famous in Hebei. I am from Bingzhou, so of course I have heard of it. Baima Yicong first followed Gongsun Zan's good archers, and later when Gongsun Zan was fighting the Xiongnu, he used those good archers as the prototype to form a light cavalry force to deal with the Huns. Who would not praise such a righteous deed? Who in the world Don't know?"

Zhao Lei nodded, and said: "The white horse is righteous, brave and fierce, almost unbeatable in Hebei, and the Huns are always fleeing. And I also need such a team."

When he spoke, Zhao Lei looked expectant. He also wanted to have an elite force of his own.During the Three Kingdoms era, almost every prince had elite troops.For example, Dong Zhuo has the Flying Bear Army, Cao Cao has Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Qingzhou Golden Soldiers, Yuan Shao has [-] pioneers and euphorbia soldiers, Lu Bu has the camp, Sun Quan has the Jiangdong Navy, Liu Bei...he has no strong Army, but his skin is thicker than these troops, so he is the most invincible.

Zhao Lei is now the Governor of Yangzhou. Although only Wu County is in his hands, he already has the strength to form such an army.

Apart from Zhao Yun, only Zhang Liao had commanded a military under Zhao Lei's command. The other generals were either too junior or had no experience in leading troops.It was impossible for Zhao Lei to personally train this special force, so he had to hand over Shi Jun to Zhang Liao.Besides, Zhang Liao had led these 1 people to train secretly in Yangzhou for a long time, and Zhang Liao should be very clear about those soldiers who can be made. That's why Zhao Lei asked Zhang Liao to select soldiers, and then personally trained the [-] stone troops.

After Zhang Liao heard this, his expression was excited, and he said, "Thank you for your cultivation, my lord. The final general will definitely not insult the word 'Shi Jun'."

Zhao Lei smiled lightly, what is the real effect?You have to go through the war to know.An army that has not personally experienced the cruelty of war cannot become a top-notch army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said again: "You have to remember one more thing. The soldiers are good, not many. Shi Junying needs elite soldiers, not cowards. If 3000 people are not satisfied, don't force it. What I want is not to be afraid of death. Soldiers who can endure hardships and have fighting talents, there is a way to be better than lack, do you understand?"

"I hope that the Shi Junying formed is an army that can't be killed or dragged down." Zhao Lei took a sip of tea and continued.

"Soldiers in the Stone Army Camp can be tigers, poisonous snakes, or wild wolves. It doesn't matter what background they have. But I want to emphasize one more thing. The soldiers in the Stone Army Camp must not be cowards. They must be absolutely elite and fear death. people cannot come in."

When Zhao Lei spoke, his expression was solemn, and he looked at Zhang Liao with a stern look in his eyes.

Zhang Liao patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "My lord, the three thousand stone army will surely be recruited at the end. There will be no one more, and no one less."

Zhao Lei said with satisfaction: "You can discuss Shi Jun's matter yourself. I'm sending you a military adviser to get Xi Zhicai to come and help you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask Mr. Xi." Zhao Lei said.

Xi Zhicai stood up and said, "No, this subordinate obeys."

Zhao Lei went on to say: "I have another request. Every soldier of the Stone Army must be equipped with a horse, so every soldier must be able to ride. There cannot be any soldier who can't ride a horse. This is the most important thing. Basic requirements."

Zhang Han came out and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this is a little difficult. I'm afraid there are not so many war horses in the Jiangdong area."

Zhao Lei shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this guy, as long as he has money, he will definitely be able to buy a horse." Zhao Lei said while pointing to the box he just dug up.

"My lord, don't worry, I will not disappoint you in the end." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said.

Zhao Lei hummed, and said, "You and Xi Zhicai have discussed and dealt with the matter of establishing the Shi Jun. I will only look at the result and don't care about your process. I hope you will not let me down."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao bowed to Zhao Lei and sat down.

After discussing the establishment of special forces, Zhao Lei saw that Xu Chu and Dian Wei had returned from the Yan Mansion, so Zhao Lei changed the topic and asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei, "Zhongkang, Hong Fei, let me ask you, you just surrounded the Yan Mansion. , How many people are there in Yan Baihu's family?"

Dian Wei thought for a while and said, "My lord, all the servants in Yan's mansion have been dismissed, and there are still seven people detained in the mansion, two of them are Yan Baihu's wives and concubines, and the remaining five are Yan Baihu's wives and concubines. Son, besides this, there are no other people in the Yan family."

"Five sons?" Zhao Lei asked in surprise, this Yan Baihu is quite capable of giving birth.

Dian Wei said: "When the subordinates and Brother Zhongkang went to surround the Yan Mansion, how many of his sons still resisted? So the subordinates taught them a lesson, but no one was killed."

Zhao Lei nodded and waved his hands, signaling Xu Chu and Dian Wei to sit down.

At this time, Zhao Lei turned his eyes and said to Jia Xu in a deep voice: "Mr. Jia, I have a task for you, you must like it."

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, then realized immediately, and asked, "My lord, you mean Yan Baihu's family..." At this point, Jia Xu raised his right hand and gestured on his neck.

Zhao Lei nodded, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Jia, would you like it?"

Jia Xu sighed and said, "My lord, when we were in the hall just now, my subordinates and Zizhou wanted to suggest that my lord should wipe out Yan Baihu's family, but they saw that there were too many officials who opposed it, so they didn't say anything. Now my lord has this intention." , this subordinate will do my part, and will not disappoint the lord."

Zhao Lei waved his hand, shook his head, and said, "Even if we cut grass and roots, we still need to distinguish the object. What I taboo are Yan Baihu's five sons, and his two wives and concubines, let them fend for themselves. Let them go. As for his Son, let them die normally, don't show any traces, or it will affect my reputation. This matter will be left to Mr. Jia, Mr. Jia will handle things, I can rest assured."

"No!" Jia Xu clasped her fists and said.

Zhao Lei nodded, sighed, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, Zhao Lei had no choice but to get rid of Yan Baihu's son. This is what Zhao Lei had to do. He must not leave trouble for himself if he wins and loses. Maybe now Zhao Lei can pinch Yan Baihu with one hand. Yan Baihu's son died, but Zhao Lei himself didn't know what happened many years later.Since the future is full of unknowns, it can only be eliminated in the bud. Living in such a troubled world, Zhao Lei has to do this. For himself and for the people around him, he must eradicate all threats.
