Chen Zhi didn't expect Zhen Rong to help anything, but he really appreciated Zhen Rong for knowing how to go directly to the village chief to solve the problem, but Chen Zhi didn't expect that this village chief looked kind, but he was an indifferent person, if Chen Zhi hadn't forced him to a dead end, he might continue to pass the buck.

Thousands of villagers were quickly gathered outside the village chief's house, but after seeing the crowd that came, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, among these thousand people, the old and weak women and children accounted for seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and most of the remaining young and strong people were disabled, not to mention assisting in the battle, even self-preservation must be a problem.

"General, we have checked, and there are only more than fifty young people who can be put into battle!"

After counting the assembled crowd, Hawkeye rode to report to Chen.

Chen Zhi frowned, looked sideways at the village chief, and saw that the other party seemed to be calling on everyone to work together to fight the bandits, but in fact, there were words of cowardice in his words, and Chen Zhi shook his head again and again.

Zhen Rong was on the side, and he also said to himself strangely: "There are only fifty laborers in a village, how is this possible?"

Meng'er and her mother were also in the crowd before, and during this time, Chen Zhi had already asked his subordinates who knew some simple medical skills in the Eagle Eye Light Horse to check Meng'er's pulse, and found that it was just a slightly stricter wind and cold, and it happened to be carried with the army. Sister, don't be surprised, it's not that there are no young people in the village, but there have been a lot of strange things recently, and there are always young people in the village who have disappeared for no reason, and they haven't left any clues!"

"Missing for no reason?" Chen Zhi couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and immediately looked at the village chief, and then asked, "What is going on? There are so many missing people, why don't you report it to the official?"

As if he had known that Chen Zhi would ask such a question, the village chief asked Chen Zhi with a smile: "The general also knows that the bandits are rampant, and the government is too busy to take care of itself, how can it be possible to separate himself to take charge of the matter of missing persons, the general is confused!"

Chen Zhi was choked with such a sentence, and he didn't know what to ask, he always felt that this village chief was a little strange in talking and acting, but he couldn't say what was strange, so he waved his hand and said: "Fifty people is fifty people, it's better to have than nothing, please trouble the village chief to explain to them the intention of the next one, the thieves are very likely to attack at night, everyone must be fully prepared!"

The village chief nodded: "This is natural, the general can rest assured!"

After that, the village chief went to lecture the assembled fifty young and strong laborers, and made them obey Chen Zhi's arrangement, and between his words, he was also enthusiastic, so that Chen Zhi dispelled his previous concerns.

With the addition of these fifty people, the defense arrangement in the village has also been accelerated a lot, and it only took half a day to cut down a large number of bamboo forests in the back mountain, transported them to the village, sharpened the bamboo body and set up many imperceptible traps, and the scraps continued to be finely sharpened and made into simple arrows.

As soon as Qiē was ready to stop, he just waited for the thief to come and throw himself into the net.

But after waiting for three days, there was no thief who came to attack, Chen Zhi was suspicious in his heart, and immediately sent someone to inquire about Liu Hu's movements, and Chen Zhi was taken aback by the situation reported by the Hawkeye Light Horse:

"General Qiyu, Liu Hu's men and horses have been standing still for some reason ten miles away, and the news of the copper mine has been spread to him, but it doesn't seem to have played a role at all!"

Chen Zhi didn't expect Zhen Rong to help anything, but he really appreciated Zhen Rong for knowing how to go directly to the village chief to solve the problem, but Chen Zhi didn't expect that this village chief looked kind, but he was an indifferent person, if Chen Zhi hadn't forced him to a dead end, he might continue to pass the buck.

Then the village chief went to the fifty young men who had assembled
