In front of Xujia Village, it is divided into two parts.
Ji Ling led more than a thousand cavalrymen to guard the prisoners.
The villagers of Xujia were watching from afar. They had just witnessed Ji Ling's bravery and were so frightened that they dared not say anything.
After Lin Han appeared with his troops, the crowd began to surge. They just stretched their heads to look at Lin Han and did not dare to make loud noises.
"Report to the lord, the leader of the Gepi bandits has been killed, and more than 4,000 Gepi bandits have been captured." Ji Ling pointed at the Gepi leader whose head and body were separated from the corpse and reported.
Lin Han rode his horse out of the line and looked down at the circle of squatting prisoners.
The captives were already pale with fear at this time.
"Yes, send them into exile, and if they make military achievements, their crimes as bandits will be pardoned."
"Sir, please spare my life, I have something to say."
A cry was heard among the captives. A middle-aged man was crying and shouting at Lin Han, but before he could say the second word, a soldier from the Flying Cavalry Battalion put a saber to his neck, and his crying stopped abruptly.
"I didn't say I would kill you, why are you begging for mercy?" Lin Han said coldly.
"Sir, I am useless with my fists and feet. I can only die. I know where the boss's treasure is hidden. Please let me go home." The middle-aged man cried.
"Who is he?" Lin Han asked Ji Ling.
"He is the strategist of the Gepi bandit leader. He has some knowledge, but not much, and he is not good at fighting." Ji Ling said.
Hearing this, Lin Han understood and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Where is your boss's treasure?"
"Sir, can you forgive me if I tell you so?"
"You are not qualified to negotiate conditions." Lin Han said coldly: "Speak now, I am in a good mood, and maybe I can forgive you."
"I said, the treasures looted by the boss are all placed underground in the cave south of our village." The middle-aged man cried.
"Ji Ling, lead a team and take him to dig up the treasure."
"promise."
Ji Ling picked up the middle-aged man from the crowd and threw him to the front of the team.
The other prisoners all lowered their heads and dared not say anything.
"Take these bandits away."
Lin Han waved his hand and asked someone to take the captive away. Then he rode forward and stopped in the open space in front of the village.
The village was full of villagers holding sticks, hoes and other farm tools. The farm tools were stained with blood, and many people were stained red with blood.
After seeing Lin Han, there was some commotion in the crowd.
"Who among you is the village chief?"
"I am."
A rift opened up among the villagers.
I saw an old man coming out, supported by a young man.
"On behalf of all the villagers in Xujia Village, I thank the General."
The old village chief knelt down tremblingly, and the other villagers saw him and knelt down to express their gratitude.
"There's no need to do this, old man." Lin Han gestured for them to stand up and said, "Your village has many able-bodied men, but there are only a few thousand of them. How can you hold off the Gepi bandits, numbering nearly ten thousand, for so long?"
"General, all this is thanks to Hu Zi." The old village chief pointed to the blood-soaked young man beside him and said, "Hu Zi has the courage of a tiger and extraordinary strength. He can fight a hundred people alone and scare off the bandits with the strength of an ox. That's why we have a chance to breathe."
"Hu Zi?" Lin Han looked at the young man: "What's your name?"
"Replying to the general, I am Xu Chu, with the courtesy name Zhongkang and nickname Huzi." The young man who was asked scratched his head in a naive manner, looking a little silly.
"Xu Chu?"
Lin Han's eyes lit up and he stared straight at Xu Chu.
After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.
Xu Chu, the tiger maniac, is right in front of him.
Boss Cao, I'm sorry for poaching you again. Next time I see you, I'll steal your underwear too.
Lin Han's expression returned to normal, and he said, "Can you really fight one hundred people alone? Let me test your skills."
"General, this..."
"Brother, go practice with Brother Xu, and remember to stop when necessary." Lin Han said.
"yes."
Dian Wei jumped off his horse and went into battle barehanded. Without waiting for Xu Chu to speak, he rushed towards him like a tiger descending from the mountains.
"You're just in time."
Xu Chu shouted and immediately blocked the attack.
The two men fought in one place.
The smoke and dust in the field suddenly cleared, and everyone looked forward to it.
"General, this is not possible." The old village chief said anxiously, "If Hu Zi has offended you in any way, please spare his life."
After saying this, he was about to kneel down.
Lin Han hurriedly supported him and said, "Don't worry, old village chief. This general just wants to test Brother Xu's skills. I have no ill intentions."
The two people in the field were still fighting. As the fight deepened, both sides began to use all their strength, but there was still no winner.
The fight lasted for an hour. Lin Han was not in a hurry and just watched quietly.
He couldn't remember how many rounds the two had fought.
After another while, the two finally separated.
Judging from his appearance, Xu Chu was in a rather embarrassed state and had lost half a move.
"You are very strong, I admire you." Xu Chu wiped the embarrassment from his face and said loudly.
"You're not bad either, you're a real man."
The two met early. Dian Wei was at the peak of his powers and had even broken through once. Xu Chu was only a 19-year-old young man at the time. He looked honest and a little anxious, and he looked older.
It’s not surprising that Dian Wei won.
"Not bad, not bad." Lin Han clapped his hands and said to Xu Chu, "Brother Xu is indeed very skilled. Are you interested in serving under me?"
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Chu was stunned, scratched his head, and looked at the old village chief.
"General, this... are you serious?" the old village chief asked tremblingly.
"Of course it's true. With Hu Zi's skills, he will definitely achieve great things under my command. He may even be promoted to an official position and granted a title of nobility in the future. The threat of Gepi bandits has been resolved, and Brother Xu no longer has to worry about the Gepi bandits attacking the village." Lin Han said.
"Okay, okay." The old village chief nodded in surprise: "Huzi, why don't you go and pay your respects to the general?"
