With the end of Xu Wuxian's training to prepare for thieves, the team of more than 800 people was rearranged and stationed in various pavilions and townships.

The basic establishment is still based on the pavilion team, a total of nine pavilions in the county, but not every pavilion has a pavilion team, first of all, it is centered on the large pavilion with a large population, dense residence and convenient transportation, and a pavilion team is set up here to ensure that there are multiple places near the thief; Secondly, the scattered villages in remote areas gather teams in the nearest townships and cities in the area to conduct regular patrols to alert the four directions.

The number of each pavilion team is not completely unified, according to the regional population base of each pavilion team is arranged, the big pavilion is the brigade, the small pavilion is the team, more than 100 people, less than dozens of people. And the team with the largest number of people is naturally the team around the city of Gongwei County, and it is also the ancestral family lineage team led by Zu Zhao himself, with a total of more than 300 people, all equipped with war horses and armor, almost more powerful and effective than the official army.

Regarding the preparation of theft this year, although there is a lot of turmoil in the county, the county government of Xu Wuxian County can still feel a little relieved.

The training plan and the plan for preparing the pirate formation formulated by Zu Zhao were almost unprecedentedly thoughtful. Even if we put aside the enthusiasm and hard work of the people who prepared for the thieves throughout the training period, the team of 800 people, including 300 fully armed knights, was enough to bring a sense of security to the whole county.

What's more, in the past seven or eight years, there has been no mistake in the preparation of thieves.

Once one side discovers a thief, the nearby pavilion team will be the first to organize a confrontation, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary thieves. If you encounter a large group of thieves or a group of Huma, the nearby pavilion team can resist first and wait for the help of other pavilion teams. There are more than 300 knights located in the county seat, which is enough to rush to any place within the county in the shortest time.

Xu Wuxian seems to have done the ultimate in preventing thieves!

On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zu Zhao came back from his inspection around the Beiguo Pavilion and sat down in the front hall to drink a bowl of sweet soup. Today is the annual Pinglu Lantern Festival, but although Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty has such festivals after that, but only the prefectures and counties near the capital really regard today as a festival, on the one hand, because of the wealth and prosperity of the Central Plains, on the other hand, the activities to commemorate the day of Pinglu are usually held in the capital, and other remote states and counties can spend a Spring Festival in peace and stability a year is considered a luxury.

There are some powder fruits in this bowl of sweet soup, but unfortunately there are very few Xi of eating powder fruits in the north of Youzhou, and this powder fruit is not satisfactory. However, for Zu Zhao, it is a thought of the Lantern Festival, and there is no need to worry about it too seriously.

Just after eating the first bowl of sweet soup, suddenly a female family brought a new pot of sweet soup and sent it to the front hall for the children who had just returned from the night patrol to taste. Zu Zhao just felt that it was too cold outside the house, so he ate a bowl of hot food to warm his body, and he didn't want to be greedy, so he beckoned the other children to eat more, and he was ready to put down the bowl.

At this moment, cousin Zu Qing grabbed the soup spoon in one hand, walked to Zu Zhao, and said to him with a smile: "You want to eat more bowls!"

Zu Zhao saw his cousin's warm face, and thought of his cousin's dressing for himself earlier, so he didn't say much for a while.

He thought about the relationship between this cousin and himself, Zu Qing was not a direct relative, and it seemed that there were two generations apart. And Zu Qing is now at the age of marriage, so he naturally has a mature charm, especially the two small dimples on his face when he smiles, which adds a bit of pure beauty to her charm. But even so, he didn't think anything wrong, at most he felt weird because his thoughts were different.

After eating another bowl of noodles and fruits, Zu Zhao thought that he would be safe and sound tonight, and decided to return to the courtyard to remove the plate armor.

His plate armor was smelted by craftsmen as early as the beginning of the first month, but because of many inappropriate places, it was repeatedly revised for seven or eight days, and it was only today that the expected effect was barely achieved. The style of plate armor is still modeled after the style of European medieval cavalry, with sharp edges and simple structure, although many people are not Xi, but he personally feels good, at least he does not have to worry about hidden arrows hurting people.

The plate armor is not too heavy, and after modification, it is already a medium-sized and light armor, and if there is enough time, he can complete the wearing and unloading alone. After all, this set of plate armor is used for experiments, and when the technology is mature, the corresponding armor suitable for special operations will be designed, such as heavy cavalry armor and so on.

As soon as he walked out of the front hall, he didn't take a few steps when Zu Zhao suddenly heard a commotion in the front hall behind him, as if someone was shouting. He immediately stopped, then turned and turned back into the antechamber.

In the hall, all the children who were eating powder fruit put down the soup bowl in their hands at this time, and their expressions were grim.

At the gate stood a man dressed as a peasant, sweating profusely, with his hands on his knees, bent over, panting, apparently running all the way here.

Zu Zhao asked sharply, "What's the alarm?"

Zu Cheng, who was standing near the gate, saw Zu Zhao go and return, hurriedly greeted him, and said in a hurry: "Eldest prince, something happened to Fan'an Pavilion, this person came from Anyang Pavilion to report the news."

Zu Zhao's color changed slightly, but he didn't show too much waves, he strode to the gate and asked the farmer: "You are actually from Anyang Pavilion, how can you report that something happened to Fan'an Pavilion?" The

farmer finally relieved his breath and hurriedly said: "Wang Dashi of Fan'an Pavilion fled to our Anyang Pavilion and informed that there were thieves who took advantage of the night to rob the village. My lord asked the villain to hurry up and come to the ancestral village to inform the eldest prince of the matter. "

Fan'an Pavilion is located in a remote area, the villages are sparse, and the population is sparse, so it is naturally an easy place for thieves to attack.

However, the Anyang Pavilion, which is closest to Fan'an Pavilion, happened to have a team of thieves from the Zhang family, and it should have rushed over at this time.

Zu Zhao immediately asked again: "What is the current situation in Fan'an Pavilion?"

The farmer looked sluggish, hesitated for a while, and said, "The villain doesn't know this. Listening to what Wang Da said, it seems that the thieves have burned down

Fan'an Pavilion..."Zu Zhao thought silently for a moment, then turned to the children in the hall and ordered: "Everyone clean up and prepare to leave for Fan'an Pavilion." After that, he said to Zu Cheng, "Ah Cheng, you go and tell Uncle Ling and Ah Ji first, I will take fifty people to Fan'an Pavilion first, and Uncle Ling will be in charge of this time for the time being."

Zu Cheng hesitated slightly: "Eldest son, do you only need fifty people?"

Zu Zhao Zhengse said: "Fan'an Pavilion is located in the south of the county, and the offender will not be Huma, and there will be no more than 100 ordinary thieves." The Zhang family in Anyang Pavilion has a team of more than 100 people, plus more than 50 people such as us. You don't have to work hard. If you are in danger, it is not too late to send reinforcements.

Zu Cheng nodded, and after answering, he hurried to the backyard.

There were exactly more than 50 people who followed Zu Zhao to inspect the Beiguo Pavilion, and the soldiers and armor were complete, so they just put down the sweet soup bowl and wiped their mouths, and immediately went out from the main gate of Zujiazhuang. Outside the gate, more than fifty mounts were already parked, and all the children roared and jumped on horseback. Because Zu Zhao was in armor, he climbed onto the horse neatly with the support of two servants.

After waiting for a while, Zu Cheng rushed back from the backyard, and after coming to the gate to meet Zu Zhao and the others, the group beat their horses and headed south.

As soon as I crossed the Xihe Bridge, I saw many houses in Anyang Pavilion with lights on from afar, and some voices could be faintly heard.

When I came to the street of Anyang Pavilion, I met some people armed with chopping axes, sticks, and sickles, most of them were some old people, and there were also some thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys. They were all a little nervous at first when they saw a group of knights rushing in the distance, and they pushed the horse-repellent carts that had been prepared long ago into the middle of the street. However, it didn't take long for someone to see that the person who came was a young man from the ancestral family, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly withdrew the carriage.

When the ancestral family rode closer, these people from Anyang Pavilion hurriedly came forward and explained the situation to Zu Zhao in detail.

"Master Zhang has already taken the pavilion team to Fan'an Pavilion, and he has been gone for half an hour."

"Wang Da seems to be still in the Zhang family's mansion, he is so frightened that the old men have cried several times."

"We are not more than ten miles away from Fan'an Pavilion here, and I don't know if the thieves are powerful."

"Fellow villagers," Zu Zhao straightened his waist on horseback, and shouted with a lofty voice, "Please rest assured, let me go and explore the truth first, and I will teach these thieves who have committed crimes to come and go." With

that, he waved the halberd in his hand and slapped the horse's stock, and led the people through the crowd and continued southward.

Out of Anyangting Street, the road surface is not very easy to walk, but fortunately, the Zhang family's team passed by not long ago, and stepped on the thick snow out of a vague road.

Zu Zhao didn't say a word, letting the wind and snow like a blade hit his cheeks. He had a little speculation in his heart that in previous years, thieves had been infested as early as the beginning of the first month, but this year, there was no movement until the fifteenth day of the first month. Of course, this is also explained, not only because this year's wind and snow are greater than in previous years, but also because Xu Wuxian has recruited as many as 800 volunteers this time.

The momentum created by the 24-day training was enough to shock the Quartet.

However, the problem is precisely here, the outside world knows that Xu Wuxian has worked hard to prepare for theft, how can there be any thieves who dare to commit crimes, isn't this self-defeating?
