Duan Xing waited until Zhang Yi left, and then began to think about the defense station, Duan Xing thought: Since you want to lead the troops to the battle, you must think of a foolproof strategy, at least you can't let the enemy copy the nest during the battle, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it at that time, so naturally there can be no mistakes in this rear. At this time, Duan Xing saw that the night was dark, so he turned around and went back to his guest room to rest. Lying on the bed tossing and turning, constantly thinking about how to make the families of the soldiers in the hundred households have no worries, and only in this way can the soldiers be single-minded when fighting. There are countless examples like this in history, and the biggest reason for Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou is not only carelessness, but also because his soldiers are imprisoned by their families, resulting in the lack of fighting spirit of the army, and he can't repeat the mistakes of the past. But Duan Xing thought about it for more than half an hour, but he still had no clue, so he was even more upset. Alas, what should I do? After thinking about it, he came to the courtyard, but seeing the bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the courtyard as if it were day, Duan Xing suddenly thought of something, slapped his head busily, and said to himself: "How can I forget the cement, isn't this the most suitable thing for the current needs." With his mind already decided, Duan Xing decided to give it a try and put it on a piece of paper

Early tomorrow morning, Duan Xing called Xie Yong and said to him: "I will invite a craftsman who can burn bricks and tiles with you today, and then find a carpenter." Xie Yong was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "What's the use of the hundred households looking for them?" Duan Xing sold a pass and said, "Don't talk too much, you go and wait outside the fort." Xie Yong was about to ask again, but when he saw Duan Xing staring at him, he stopped his mouth and went to prepare to go out.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Yong found a soldier and took pity on him and brought him to Duan Xing. Brought him to Duan Xing and said to him, "Xiao Ye, you are familiar with the people around here, do you know where the most famous brickburner in this area lives?" ”

"I know, it's the old grandson who lives on the mangrove slope ten miles away from here."

"I know, don't you take a hundred households with you soon!" As he spoke, he was about to kick the soldier, but the soldier hurriedly ran away, Duan Xing stepped forward to stop Xie Yong from fighting again, and said to the soldier: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The group followed the soldier for nearly an hour, and finally saw a village, Duan Xing and the others had just walked into the village, and the soldier named Xiao Ye grabbed a passing villager and said, "Brother Xu, is Master Sun here?" The villager should have said enthusiastically because he often went to the village to help him work, "Yes, Master Sun is helping Erniu's house burn bricks." I don't know who these two are? ”

"This is the Lord Duan of the 100 households in our 100 households, and this is our Xie Jiao Leader." The soldier introduced, and introduced the villager to Duan Xing, and after learning the intention of the two, he took the three to find the old grandson.

The three of them were led by the villager to a thatched hut with a bamboo fence, and before they could get closer, they saw a puff of smoke rising, and the villager stepped forward and asked loudly, "Is anyone at home?" After a while, an old woman with gray hair and who looked to be over the age of antiquity opened the courtyard door, and saw a few people she didn't know, and just turned around to leave, Duan Xing said: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are not bad people, and we will not harm you." ”

Hearing this, the old woman slowly relaxed and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" The villager who led the way replied, "Grandma Lin, this is Lord Duan, an official of the hundred households in the nearby hundred households, who has come to you to inquire about Master Sun." ”

"Looking for Master Sun." The old woman understood the meaning of the people, and said quietly: "If you want to find him, you have to go up the mountain west of the village, and he is with my grandson." ”

When Duan Xing heard this, he respectfully bowed to the old woman and said, "The juniors thank the seniors for their guidance. After that, he and Xie Yong and others went to the mountains west of the village to look for the old grandson.
