Chen Ziqian, the hand-shaking shopkeeper, is still very competent, when everyone is busy, only he sleeps soundly in the handsome tent.

I slept until I woke up naturally, and I didn't wake up until three strokes the next day.

After a brief wash, I had breakfast under the service of Kumayoshi, and asked about some information by the way.

Bashan has been fully taken over by Lin Xiaodao, and nearly 10,000 soldiers have also been properly settled.

Since the Yong'an army conquered Huaihua, the loss rate of soldiers and horses has been zero, and even tens of thousands have been expanded.

In addition, Luo Taibai has also contacted Tu Hengshou, the commander of Bashan County, because of the relationship between the Zhao family and the current shortage of manpower, the existing system in Bashan has not been abolished.

Luo Taibai shouldered a heavy responsibility, and he didn't care about taking over the trivial matters of the county government, so he no longer interfered with some specific county conditions from Tu Hengshou, but focused on strategic deployment.

With 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Luo Taibai transferred these soldiers out, leaving 30,000 to garrison in Bashan, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers were divided into two routes, and Zhuang Wei was appointed as the commander all the way, leading 15,000 troops to Huaihua.

The other way, with Chen Tong as the commander, also led 15,000 troops, and directly took Zhishui County.

Luo Taibai obviously didn't plan to sit and wait here in Bashan, the Quanzhou Assassin Shi would come over sooner or later, since this is the case, then strike first, take advantage of the emptiness of the troops in Huaihua and Zhishui, and take one of them into the pocket as much as possible.

The army had begun to assemble, and in order to avoid any changes in the army, the soldiers were all left in Bashan.

I have to say that Luo Taibai's strategy is still quite good, with the current distribution of troops in Huaihua, attacking Huaihua and controlling the water is almost a matter of hand.

And as long as these two cities are taken, the land of the six counties of Huaihua will be left with only glory in the history of the Quanzhou Thorns.

In terms of the overall situation, this is definitely extremely beneficial to Yong'an's side.

Of course, Zhang Jiangke is still sitting in Huaihua County, and it is easy to control the water, but the county town is not so easy to take.

Whether Luo Taibai's layout can return with a full load remains to be studied.

Chen Ziqian didn't interfere in these things, Luo Taibai did no worse than him in all affairs, and he could rest assured that he would hand over the power.

"Lord, the Zhao family is still waiting to be summoned, you see that the army is about to leave in the afternoon, should we also go into the city to rest?" Xiong Ji poured a cup of goat's milk for Chen Ziqian and asked casually.

Chen Ziqian nodded and said, "You go and clean up and prepare to enter the city." ”

"Whoa!" Xiong Ji respectfully accepted the order.

Since being transferred to his side by Chen Ziqian's personal guard, Xiong Ji's reputation in the Shadow Guard has also risen.

Now the shadow guard under his command is still the three hundred places before, and those who are lost will be re-recruited to fill them, and on Anyi's side, Fan Zhong is also constantly looking for newcomers, and is stepping up training in Anyi.

Chen Ziqian knew that the current scale of the Shadow Guard was actually far more than three hundred, and there were already thousands of them on the Anyi side, and with the number of people sent out to engage in intelligence, the scale of the Shadow Guard was already close to two thousand.

These people are all loyal dead soldiers, as long as Chen Ziqian gives an order, they are all existences that can stand up to die.

Just like the original intention of forming the Shadow Guard, the treatment of this team is far from being comparable to other departments, and it will inevitably be the strongest hole card in Chen Ziqian's hands in the future.

Chen Ziqian has invested heavily in the Shadow Guard, not only the best treatment, but also the hardest training, and the training items are all arranged by him.

In addition to the physical training of the 400-meter obstacles, there are also professional skills such as reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation.

This is a huge project, and in the end, only those who can survive the whole process are qualified to stay by Chen Ziqian's side to protect him.

After having breakfast in the tent, Chen Ziqian rode into Bashan City under the escort of three hundred shadow guards.

There is a courtyard in the city for him to rest, and the place is quite large, it is a three-way courtyard.

The layout should be complete, and there are seventy or eighty servants.

Chen Ziqian was not in a hurry to move in, and went straight to Zhao's Wu Fort accompanied by the Shadow Guard.

Compared with the courtyard, the scale of the Wu Fort is obviously several times larger, just like the manor where the Chen family now lives in Yong'an, which is fortified with corner towers.

Knowing that Chen Ziqian personally came to visit, Zhao Zhuosheng and other members of the Zhao clan also felt very honored, and hurriedly ordered someone to set up a banquet, and Zhao Zhuosheng personally went out to welcome the guests.

Chen Ziqian is not a person who likes to put on a show, and this time he took Bashan City without spending a single soldier, and the Zhao family really contributed a lot.

"Chen Fujun is here, and I hope that Fujun will forgive me if I miss the distance." Zhao Zhuosheng is in his fifties, but his body is still strong, and he walks quickly and confesses.

In the feudal era, merchants had no social status.

Although the Zhao family is also rich, it can only be barely regarded as a small family in the local area, and there are no clansmen in the house, let alone a few decent officials, so it can be said that the background is far from being comparable to that of an old family like the Chen family.

Chen Ziqian glanced at Zhao Zhuosheng, and while taking in the attributes of the other party, he returned the salute with a smile: "The master of the Zhao family is polite, our army can successfully enter Bashan this time, the Zhao family is the first hero, and it is natural for the prince of this mansion to visit in person." ”

"It's all as it should be, as it should be." Zhao Zhuosheng was very relieved in his heart, and exchanged a few words with Chen Ziqian outside Wubao, and then respectfully invited Chen Ziqian to enter Wubao.

In fact, the situation of families in various places is similar, having money and land is the most basic, and if there are people who are high-ranking people, then the status is naturally higher.

And at the level of the family, they will basically build Wu Forts to resist the small night.

From ancient times to the present, rich people have always been the object of concern for those outlaws, tying up a frame or something happens from time to time, for the safety of the clansmen, most of them will recruit caretakers.

At present, the situation is chaotic, and some families will even recruit private soldiers and keep them in Wu Fort.

The Zhao family has a county order to take care of Tu Hengshou, of course, there is no need to recruit private soldiers, but there are also many nursing homes.

Accompanied by Zhao Zhuosheng, Chen Ziqian simply walked around Wubao, and then was invited to a banquet.

Regarding the cooperation plan that was said before, Zhao obviously didn't plan to just forget it, and naturally took this opportunity to implement it well.

Huaihua is so chaotic now, and they also turned against Zhang Jiangke, most of them don't dare to stay here.

With Chen Ziqian's support, they can also feel more at ease when they migrate to Yong'an.

For Zhao's thoughts, Chen Ziqian can understand it to some extent.

Moreover, he had intended to attract foreign families into Yong'an, in order to weaken the arrogance of those local families, and there was naturally no reason to refuse the cooperation.

They reached a consensus on this matter, of course, this kind of trivial matter is not enough for Chen Ziqian to come to the door in person.

The main purpose of this trip was that Chen Ziqian came to the 10,000-strong enemy.

"I heard that Pan Feiyu can be successfully solved this time, and he has made great contributions, why didn't he come?" Chen Ziqian sat on the seat, exchanged a few polite words with Zhao Zhuosheng and others, and then changed the topic.

Zhao Qinglin, as the owner of Crepe, immediately arched his hand and said: "It is a blessing for Crepe Bai to get Chen Fujun's attention, but it is a pity that Crepe Bai is injured and it is inconvenient to come over to accompany him." ”

"Oh!?" Chen Ziqian glanced at Zhao Qinglin meaningfully, he knew that Xuan Bai had a secret illness before, but it was a bit too much to be injured and couldn't come out to show up, right?

Could it be that when Pan Feiyu was assassinated, what accident happened?

"It's just a mere person, where is it worth Chen Fujun to be so concerned." Zhao Zhuosheng said with a smile, and was about to toast when he picked up the wine cup, but was interrupted by Chen Ziqian waving his hand.

"This prince still has something to do with Crepe Bai, so I won't drink today." Chen Ziqian stood up and said, "Where is Crepe Bai now, take this mansion over to take a look." ”

"This ......" everyone looked confused, the dishes on the table have not yet been served, and they are leaving?

Chen Ziqian said: Nonsense, if Lao Tzu hadn't come to the crepe, who would have the leisure time to talk nonsense with you?
