Wei and Jin cooks

The horse farm in Shangcai is not big. This is the Central Plains after all, and the horses raised are only supplied to Runan County. However, Zhao Hanzhang is lucky, it is autumn at this time.

Horses usually travel to various counties in late autumn, but they haven't had time to do so yet, so there are the most horses in the racecourse.

Zhao Hanzhang took Magistrate Chai's handwriting with him and went into the racecourse to pick up the horses. The horse owner looked at the handwriting and said, "There are ten horses available in Shangcai County. You just wait, I will bring them out for you."

"Wait a minute," Zhao Hanzhang held his gun in front of him and asked, "How many mature horses are there in this racecourse?"

Ma Tou said cautiously: "No matter how many there are, you can only take ten when you go to Cai County. The rest is the share of the county governor and each county."

Zhao Hanzhang said with a serious face: "The situation is urgent, and now there is smoke in Gaoyang and Xiping. In order to save the county governor, we have requisitioned all these horses."

Ma Tou's eyes widened, "Whose girl are you from? How can a woman lead an army? I don't know what you want to do when you go to Cai County. It would be good to give you ten horses, but you actually want to take them all." "

Zhao Hanzhang: "I am the third wife of the Zhao family in Xiping. I have requisitioned this horse first. After this battle, if we are lucky enough to be alive, we will definitely return the horse."

When he heard that she was from the Zhao family, Ma Tou immediately choked, but still stood in front of them, "No, there are still more than a month until the time for handing over the horse. I took it away from you. What should I do for you?"

"If the city is lost, who will you hand over the horses to?" Zhao Hanzhang waved to the people behind him, "Zhao Ju, take people to get the horses, and bring out all the adult horses."

"yes!"

Zhao Ju stood up and rushed into the racecourse with a hundred people.

Ma Tou and his officers wanted to stop him, but there were only about ten people including Ma Tou in the entire racecourse. Zhao Hanzhang was here with nearly a thousand people, so how could he stop them.

After a while, Zhao Ju found 108 mature horses from the racecourse, and also found more than a dozen sets of saddles, which he immediately put on.

Zhao Hanzhang did not mind that the remaining horses had no saddles, so he immediately distributed them to the troops according to their previous training results, and evened out twenty horses for the garrison.

Captain Chen, who was watching quietly with the soldiers behind him, was stunned and asked in surprise: "We have one too?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Is it okay to ride a horse without a saddle?"

Captain Chen immediately replied: "No problem."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, "As long as there is no problem, just put on your horse and go. When you get to the place, follow the orders. Our purpose is to repel the enemy and not allow them to cross Xiping and reach Shangcai."

Captain Chen's face softened a lot when he heard that she was not just trying to save the Zhao family. He nodded solemnly and said, "I will do my best."

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Wei Ma Tou sat down on the ground, patted his thighs and cried bitterly.

Zhao Hanzhang saw that he was crying pitifully, so he casually took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to him, "Why are you crying? Afterwards, you can take this jade pendant to the Zhao family manor to find me or Mr. Ji and explain the matter. If we can't give it, Your Majesty, I can give you a few sets of colored glazes, and then you can use the colored glazes to pay bribes, which will be somewhat useful."

Wei Matou's cry stopped.

Zhao Hanzhang turned around and waved to everyone, "Let's go!"

With so many more horses, the march was much faster. Zhao Hanzhang decided to take fifty cavalry and Fu Tinghan to go first, while Zhao Ju took the remaining people and marched in a hurry.

She picked out as many bows and arrows as she could, and after nodding to Zhao Ju, she mounted her horse and took the lead.

Ji Ping and his troops escorted Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan towards Xiping. It was getting dark. They didn't even drink water and wanted to reach Xiping as soon as possible.

In the darkness, Zhao Hanzhang heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the opposite side. Zhao Hanzhang reined in his horse and softly stopped the team behind him.

Ji Ping pricked up his ears and listened, but didn't hear anything. "Sanniang, did you hear wrongly?"

Zhao Hanzhang dismounted and lay on the ground to listen. After a while, he stood up and said, "Someone is coming."

Ji Ping also lay down to listen and heard, "About a dozen horses, very fast, they should be here soon."

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and asked everyone to hide on both sides of the road.

Fu Tinghan said: "It may be someone who escaped to report the news."

Zhao Hanzhang also hoped that it was so. After waiting for a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually approached. Although it was dark, under the moonlight, they could still vaguely see a dozen horses galloping towards them.

Because he didn't know whether they were friends or foes, Ji Ping blew a whistle first to warn them, and then jumped out when they stopped on guard and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

The Zhao family members were scared to death. They thought they were being robbed, but after hearing this question, they knew it was not a robbery. And if they were enemies, why would they give a warning before asking questions? Wouldn't it be better to just trip them up on the rope and hack them to death? ?

So the leader immediately shouted: "We are from the Zhao family in Xiping, who are you?"

Ji Ping: "From Zhao's Wubao?"

"good."

Ji Ping lit the torch and stepped forward cautiously with his men. The man on the horse was also very nervous and pressed his hand tightly on the sword. But as soon as the torch was lit and he saw Ji Ping's face, he relaxed, "Ji Ping! "

Hearing this, Ji Ping hurried forward to take a look. He thought he looked familiar, but he didn't recognize him, but at a glance he saw a young boy guarding him in his arms, "This is the young man from the fourth room."

Ji Ping had seen it when he was following Zhao Hanzhang. He immediately turned around and said, "Girl!"

Zhao Hanzhang walked out of the darkness. When Zhao's wife saw her, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She immediately dismounted from her horse with her child in her arms and saluted, "Sanniang, Wubao is in trouble. The Fifth Master sent us to escort the husband and the girl to surrender."

When the children saw Zhao Sanniang, they burst into tears.

The oldest of them is twelve years old and can already ride a horse by himself, while the youngest is only five or six years old.

The half-day running made them terrified. Although they were not very familiar with Zhao Hanzhang, they knew that she would be their support in the future, so they couldn't help but cry when they saw her.

Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward and touched their heads, then turned to ask Bu Qu, "Who attacked Wubao and how many people were there?"

"They were carrying Liu Yuan's flag, but their clothes were ragged, and they didn't look like Huns." Bu Qu paused and said, "When we escaped, we also saw a flag with stone characters on it, about four thousand people. However, there are still enemies in the direction of the county town. Ming Langjun said that once the county town falls, Wubao cannot be alone, so he asked us to send the young men out and ask Sanniang to keep Zhao's fire."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have brought reinforcements out. You go to the manor first and let Zhao Tong take you into the county to find Mr. Ji."

Buqu glanced at the dozens of people behind them, knelt down and said: "Sanniang, those rebels are suffering from famine and have lost their humanity. Please put your family first and don't compete with them for a moment's morale."

It's almost as if Zhao Hanzhang was hitting the stone with an egg.

"Our fifty cavalry are going first, and there are thousands of people behind us," Zhao Hanzhang said, "You go ahead. If you encounter Zhao Ju on the road, please give him a warning and don't start fighting against one of your own."

When Buqu heard that there were thousands of people behind him, he immediately stopped trying and stood up and said yes.

Zhao Hanzhang touched the heads of several children, especially the little girl. She bent down and looked into her round eyes and said, "Don't be afraid. Let Uncle Buqu take you to the manor, okay?"

The little girl still had tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She suppressed her tears and whispered: "I am the eldest daughter of our sixth house. My father said that I am the root of our house, so I can't cry. be strong."

Zhao Hanzhang touched her head and said, "Good girl."
