Chapter 140 Hao Zhao Joins the Army
The young man was ridiculed by this group of old bandits and felt very angry.

However, when he used today's money to buy some new cloth that night, his anger subsided a little.

Only on the second day, the young man discovered that another caravan from Hedong had arrived in Jinyang.

"Here! You go this time!"

The old soldier directed the young man over.

"Every penny counts! Once Yuan Shao's men take over Jinyang, there will be no chance for us to succeed!"

The young man went to inspect the caravan for the first time.

As soon as he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

Caravan?

Have you ever seen a caravan of burly young men speaking with a northwestern accent?

Moreover, the young man observed more carefully and found that the opponent's wheel tracks were deep and shallow this time.

The deep one can press out half a finger deep lines on dry ground!
The shallow ones leave almost no trace, as if there was nothing!

When the owner of the caravan saw the bandits coming over to check, he skillfully placed a bag of five-zhu coins in the young man's hand without leaving a trace, and also unloaded a few bags of food from the car.

"Sir, these are all good things! Not only are there corns, but there is also some dried meat. They are all rewards for you, Sir!"

When the young man heard that the other party also offered meat this time...his tongue, which had not tasted meat for a long time, felt a little dry, as if the gluttonous worm in his stomach had crawled to his throat, wanting to break out of his body so that he could have a good meal!
But after all, he is young and has a strong will.

He nodded, then approached the caravan's wagons and found the one that looked the heaviest.

"Sir, Sir! There's nothing to see! They're just cargo!"

When the owner saw the young man stop in front of the carriage, he hurried over to persuade him.

If it were any other veteran soldier, they would probably turn a blind eye.

But the young man just ignored it and gently lifted up a corner of the carriage.

"hiss!"

After just one look, the young man immediately put down the apron, and his eyes became somewhat alert and flustered!

Armor!

Lots of armor!

Moreover, he seemed to see a large flag of Yuan’s army!

has a problem!
There is indeed something wrong with these caravans!
The young man wanted to question the other party, but his pupils suddenly shrank!
The caravan owner, who had been so kind just now, had now put his hand into his arms, with a sinister smile on his face.

The other people in the caravan also put their hands on certain places in the carriage, apparently waiting for someone to give the order so that they could draw their weapons, rush up and chop the young man into meat paste!

The young man's Adam's apple trembled slightly.

Death! It was so close to me!
But this also made him more certain that there was something wrong with the caravan in front of him!

But so what?

The cloth I just bought yesterday has not yet been sent to my mother at home.

Thinking of what the veterans had said to him yesterday, the young man slowly left the carriage.

"No problem! Let him go!"

Hearing the young man say this, the caravan owner visibly relaxed.

He took his hand out of his bosom and found another purse on it.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! It's just a small token of my gratitude, not a token of my respect!"

The young man felt mixed emotions, but he still took the two money bags and returned to the team.

When the old soldiers saw that the young man actually brought back two money bags, their eyes lit up and they praised him repeatedly: "You young people are really capable!"

As they were talking, they were about to divide the five-zhu coins in the two purses equally again.

"What are you doing?"

As they were dividing the money, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

Looking back, they saw that it was their immediate superior, a small leader in the Montenegrin Army.

"nothing!"

The other party came too hastily and everyone had no time to hide their purses.

"nothing?"

But the other party had already seen the two pieces of money, so what did he mean by nothing happened?
He walked around the crowd and put the two money bags into his arms without any hesitation.

"Leader!"

Just then, the young man called out to the other person.

Judging from the sound, he had obviously been struggling for a long time before he mustered up the courage to shout out.

"What? Do you still want the money?"

The other party was dismissive.

"What the hell? You dare to ask me for money? Lao Li, are these the soldiers you lead?"

The old soldier in the team stepped forward and pleaded for the young man: "Chief, young man! You don't know the rules! It's my fault! It's my fault! I'll buy you a drink when I get back! Hehe! You!! You!! Come here quickly! Apologize to the chief!"

The young man originally wanted to report the caravan to his superiors.

But when he saw the other party's face and the begging eyes of the old soldiers around him, he still didn't say it after all -

"Captain, I was wrong."

"Humph!"

When the other party saw that the young man had given in, he snorted coldly and left.

The old soldiers around did not blame the young man too much, but just kicked him lightly in the buttocks as a warning. The young man sat in a corner alone, feeling a little sad, sad for himself.

That night.

The young man was resting in the barracks when he was awakened by the sound of a gong.

"Everyone, get up! Those Hebei soldiers are here! We should retreat!"

Yuan Shao's soldiers came to take over Hebei?
Everyone was confused.

How did it come so fast?
Although they were puzzled, it was news that had been decided long ago, so they packed their bags and were ready to change shifts in a daze.

"Damn it, those Hebei people just come when they want, and they chose to come in the middle of the night! It's so fucking annoying!"

Many bandits were complaining.

The young man was also a little confused.

Which good person would come to take over guard in the middle of the night?

What if I make a mistake and replace the wrong person?
……

……

Wrong person!
The young man suddenly realized something and ran out of the barracks.

He came to the city wall and looked outside the city with the help of the faint light of the fire in the darkness.

It is true that Yuan’s army’s flags and armor are good looking.

But he still felt something was not right...

It was not until the firelight reflected from some armor flashed his eyes that he realized the problem!
The enemy's armor and flags are too new!
Since Yuan Shao took control of Hebei, there have been wars almost every year. How could he have so many new weapons? But the equipment of the Yuan army under the city is just like it was just made!
At the same time, the young man thought of the armor and flags he saw in the caravan during the day...

This group of people came from Hedong!

The young man realized this immediately, and his hands and feet felt a little cold!
Under the city wall... are enemies! Not Yuan's army!

Just run away!

wrong……

The young man wanted to inform his superiors of the news, but then he stopped.

The people in Hedong are enemies?

Yuan Jun, how did he become a friendly force?
Did the soldiers from Hedong fight with the Black Mountain Army and kill any of their soldiers?
No!

Did Yuan Shao's soldiers fight against the Black Mountain Army and kill any of their soldiers?
Killed!
If that is the case, why would they help Yuan Shao and be hostile to the people in Hedong?
Just as the young man was hesitating, new changes occurred outside the city.

The Black Mountain bandit general who was in charge of defending Jinyang asked the Yuan army under the city: "Do you have any token?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan's army below the city burst into shouts and curses: "Are you fools? Are you still looking for a token? Do you want the world to know that Lord Yuan is in league with you bandits? Hurry up and open the city gates! Then go back to the Taihang Mountains and eat your dirt!"

Arrogant and arrogant! His words were full of contempt for the Black Mountain Bandits!
However, the defenders in the city did not dare to attack.

Apart from Yuan Shao's own troops, who else would dare to be so rude to them?

As a last resort, they had to swallow their anger, open the city gates, and hand over Jinyang to the other side.

The "Yuan Army" outside the city quickly rushed in and took control of a city gate.

At this moment, one of the captains of Yuan’s army saw a bandit soldier approaching him!

The captain gripped the hilt of his knife nervously, not knowing the other party's intention.

When the bandit soldier came before him, the captain's heart was in his throat!

He recognized the bandit in front of him!
At the same time, this also means that the other party knows him!

The person who came was the young bandit soldier.

He looked at the captain's face and asked, "You are the boss of the caravan today, right? How come you are now a captain of Yuan's army?"

The captain's alarm bells immediately rang, and he pulled out half of the ring-handled sword at his waist, revealing the sharp blade.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to join you, not to expose you!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be planning to use force, the young man quickly waved his hands.

"I am originally from Taiyuan, but this place belonged to Zhang Yan, so I joined the army."

"No matter who you are now, Taiyuan will definitely be yours. My mother has difficulty walking, so I can't take her with me. At the same time, I can't bear to leave her alone, so I have no choice but to do this!"

The captain relaxed his guard only after hearing what the young man said.

The main thing is, if this young man really wants to be their enemy, he can just shout.

The Black Mountain bandits have not yet completely withdrawn from Jinyang. As long as they notice something wrong, they can immediately engage in battle.

Why did he and others decide to come and take over Jinyang City at night?
In addition to the reason of confusing the audience, it was also because there were too few soldiers following them and they simply did not have the ability to fight against the Black Mountain Army.

If they were to face the Black Mountain bandits now, they would be easily killed by them, and all their hard work over the past month would be in vain.

"Fuck it! I told you this plan is unreliable! Luckily you found it! If anyone else had found it, I'm afraid I'd be dead!"

The captain cursed angrily, then patted the young man on the shoulder with a smile: "Not bad! You have a bright future!"

"What's the future of following a bunch of bandits? We are the imperial guards! We are the true king's army!"

The lieutenant pointed at the armor on his body and said: "This suit is fake, but my position is not fake! I am a legitimate lieutenant of the court! The Yangwu lieutenant who is in charge of the entire military office!"

"You are quite clever, boy! You are a talent! I will definitely recommend you to the general, give you equal land, and let you join the palace army!"

After he was completely relieved, the captain realized a problem.

"Young man, what's your name? How can I recommend you to the general if I don't even know your name?"

The young man immediately stood up and thanked the other party.

"Hao Zhao of Taiyuan, Hao Bodao, greets Captain Yangwu!"
