The farce of the imperial capital is like having wings, and it will spread all over the world in a few days.

When the dynasty was like this, the people of the world had no hope at dawn, and the princes in various places continued to collect and fight violently, resulting in the dissatisfaction of the people in the world and the displacement of hundreds of people.

Recently, peasant uprisings in various places have also been continuous, but most of them have no money or food, and their talents are very limited.

But the more this happens, the more chaotic the situation becomes, there are so many squires and wealthy families in the world, once they are threatened, it will be a prairie fire, enough to ignite this feast of troubled times.

Chen Ziqian's side is also in trouble, Tongzhou Assassin Shi used troops to the north, and the whole body was moved, and the Taishou everywhere was also ready to move.

Especially Zeng Yuanqi of Yong'an County, this guy was ambitious, and took advantage of the Tongzhou Assassin History to raise troops to the north, and immediately transferred troops from all over the counties under his jurisdiction, obviously with the intention of raising troops.

This matter had nothing to do with Chen Ziqian, but he had received 2,000 soldiers and horses from Zeng Yuanqi before, but he had not been able to exterminate the surrounding bandits.

Chen Ziqian naturally didn't plan to send back the fat meat in his hand, and the two thousand men and horses had already been broken up and reorganized by him, so it was impossible to return them if he said anything.

But if you don't have a suitable explanation, otherwise Zeng Yuanqi will be able to send troops to fight him.

This is not the most troublesome, the surrounding bandits have always been a major pain point in Anyi County, and the three gangs of bandits have been even more advanced recently.

They relied on Chen Ziqian's side to send people to peace talks and persuasion many times, and even provided grain, grass, cattle and sheep in exchange for peace, which greatly contributed to arrogance, and even raised troops to fight the county seat.

Chen Ziqian's side deliberately lowered his posture, of course, he also had long-term strategic intentions.

On the one hand, showing weakness to the enemy can deceive Zeng Yuanqi and avoid being suspicious during the development period, which will affect the overall situation.

On the other hand, the construction of urban defense has not yet been completed, and manpower, material and financial resources have been consumed considerably, and it is not suitable to send troops to suppress bandits.

In addition, the most important thing is, of course, constrained by the current situation, the world is in turmoil, if he is too prominent at this time, it is easy to become the target of the public, and when the time comes, not only Zeng Yuanqi will not tolerate him, but even the history of the state assassin will also regard him as a thorn in the flesh, and the corporal of the world will deduct all kinds of crimes on his head.

To sum up, Chen Ziqian needs to be worried, to be honest, he doesn't mind doing something, but out of long-term consideration for the future, it is better to be low-key or low-key.

Steady development, slowly drawing, isn't it fragrant?

In the county government of Anyi County, Chen Ziqian sat in the hall, wearing a black suit, propped his hands on the table, and listened to the progress of their work reported by everyone below.

It's a routine, and everybody has to report back once a day.

Luo Yixiu is responsible for all the miscellaneous affairs in the county, from the construction of urban defense to the trivial disputes between the people, and he is in charge of everything.

Fang Changping is responsible for coordinating the training of troops, and the so-called no trivial matter in the army, and the relevant personnel appointments have a direct bearing on the combat effectiveness of an army, so naturally they cannot be ignored.

Everyone else also has their own arrangements, Lin Xiaodao is the main master of the Shadow Guard's special training, and now the Shadow Guard has grown from twelve to three hundred, which is considered the elite of the elite, and there are also two squads of 'Tiangang' and 'Earth Evil' respectively.

Tiangang is responsible for protecting Chen Ziqian, which can be regarded as a personal guard, and Disha is specifically responsible for intelligence work.

Chen Ziqian intends to set up intelligence departments in various localities to make full preparations for plotting against the world in the future.

In addition, Pang Jianchu is responsible for the construction of equipment, the current materials are limited, there are 8,000 foot soldiers under his command, and there are less than 3,000 people who can afford to wear iron armor, and more than half of the others can't even afford to wear leather armor, and they are serious militiamen.

In addition, even the seemingly idle Luo Taibai has endless work.

From top to bottom in Anyi County, he has to help Chen Ziqian summarize and deal with everything, and only those who are important will make special reports.

Chen Ziqian, as the lord, cannot bow down to everything, as long as he reasonably allows his subordinates to give full play to their talents.

This is not an easy job, if you can't see other people's attributes, using the wrong person will add more work.

The superior must know how to recognize and employ people, which can ensure that the team operates in an orderly manner.

"Okay, the work has been reported, and my Anyi County is on the right track, it's time to formulate a follow-up strategic policy." Chen Ziqian walked to the desk table, clasped his hands on his chest, and leaned on the desk with a big grin to scan everyone: "Taibai has a unique insight into the general trend of the world, you say it first." ”

"My lord, I think that the current time is not yet ripe, and steady development is still the top priority at present." Luo Taibai arched his hand and said, not affected by the turmoil in the outside world at all.

Luo Yixiu said with a dark face: "Steady development is true, but if the bandits are not eliminated, the villages in our county will not be able to develop at all, which will have a far-reaching impact on the policy of Tuntian." ”

"It is not difficult to eliminate the bandits, the lord is far-sighted, deliberately showing the enemy weakness, so that the surrounding bandits are more and more rampant, and only need to send troops to beat it later, which may not affect the strategy of Tuntian." Luo Taibai had an insight into the first opportunity, and Luo Yixiu was speechless.

Everyone looked at Chen Ziqian one after another, wanting to hear the opinion of this lord.

Chen Ziqian smiled and said, "Taibai is right, but it's not all right. ”

"I would like to hear the lord's opinion." Luo Taibai bowed his hand respectfully, and the longer the contact time, the more he felt that this young lord was unfathomable, and he actually had two or three hands to consider everything, and most of the directions were correct, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

"Taibai thinks, how long is Zeng Yuanqi from the upstart?" Chen Ziqian walked down the hall and walked casually among the crowd and said: "In my opinion, the time is ripe now, according to the report, Zeng Yuanqi has gathered 50,000 horses outside Yong'an County, I guess he will wait for all the soldiers and horses in each county to converge, he must be to launch a campaign against the surrounding counties, this is a big move, I don't care if he can succeed, but Yong'an County is not far from falling into my pocket." ”

"The lord wants to attack Yong'an?" Luo Taibai's eyes widened, this was unexpected.

The others were also dumbfounded when they heard this, and if they didn't make a move, they would hit the county town directly?

"Let's stop the bandits first." Chen Ziqian looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said casually: "Zeng Yuanqi sent people to ask for the two thousand people, and we prevaricated on the grounds of rampant bandits and turmoil among the displaced people. ”

"This ...... Not really, right? In the eyes of outsiders, Anyi County is a hot potato, is there anyone under Zeng Yuan Qi who is more suitable for taking care of Anyi than the lord? Luo Taibai asked puzzled.

"I don't know if Zeng Yuanqi has anyone, but he will definitely not wait for a long time to make a big move this time, and the army is already ready to be dispatched, and now he may make two choices, either ignore the two thousand men and horses in Anyi, gather the team and set off directly, or get rid of me and forcibly take the two thousand men and horses of Anyi away, with Zeng Yuanqi's character, I think the latter is more likely, after all, it is a neurotic who dares to slaughter the county."

After Chen Ziqian finished speaking, he added: "Anyway, I will tear my face soon, so let's just clear out the three bandits around before the war, so as not to get in the way." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, Chen Ziqian changed his words at this time, looked at Fang Changping and said: "General Fang, you have been leading troops for several months, and this is about to go to war, do you have a good strategy to suppress bandits?" ”
