When the barbarian captive saw that Duan Xing had really kept his promise, he said, "If the adult is really a person who keeps his promise, even so, the little one will no longer hide it from the adult." Then he said: "The little one's name is Azhuomu, and his family was originally a merchant who sold tea and horses between Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan Handi, and because the profits from the traffic of tea and horses were quite rich, the family was rich in the village. A month ago, the head of the village rebelled, and he fell in love with the small family's wealth, so he framed the little Abba for colluding with the Han people to seize power, and put his old man in prison, and wanted to arrest the little one to kill. Lord Shicai, your subordinates attacked the camp and captured the little one, and the little one thought that he couldn't survive this time, but he didn't expect that instead of killing the little one, you gave the little one a way to live. As a thank you for not killing, I have a small important message for you. After saying that, he took out a note from his bosom and handed it over.

Duan Xing took the note from the barbarian captive and looked at it, and saw that it read: Twenty days later, the brigade in the camp will start to attack Cangshan. After Duan Xing saw the news, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Shocked and suspicious in his heart, what was shocked was that he didn't expect the leaders and leaders of these barbarians to act so quickly, and what he doubted was the truth or falsehood of this news, what if it was a conspiracy of the barbarians, what should he do? Duan Xing thought about it for a long time, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what the problem was, so he pondered for a while, and then asked, "How did you know this news?" The barbarian captive replied, "It was when he happened to have something to do when he was with the chief." Duan Xing saw that his expression when he spoke was not like lying, and he believed it a little in his heart. After thinking about it, he said loudly to the door: "Someone." Then the two soldiers heard the sound and entered the hall, came to Duan Xing and asked him, "What do you have to tell Lord Baihu?" "Untie him first, and then take him down to entertain him." If something happens to someone, they will not be spared. ”

"Yes, sir." The two soldiers saluted, then untied the barbarian captive, and said to him, "Please." Then the barbarian captive said, "The little one has gone." With that, he and the two soldiers went away.

After the barbarian captives left, Duan Xing was still relieved, and called Zhang Yi, Wang Li, Xie Yong and others to a meeting, at which Duan Xing introduced the current situation and the situation of interrogating the barbarian captive A Zhuomu just now. After the introduction, Duan Xing solemnly asked the officers present: "Do you have anything to say about the barbarians who are going to rebel and attack Cangshan?" ”

When the officers heard this, they had no score in their hearts for a while, and they had different opinions. Some advocated that it should be reported to the Senhu Institute immediately, while others thought that they should first defend themselves against the attack of the barbarian rebels, and the two factions insisted on their own words and quarreled for a while. Before I knew it, three or four hours passed.

Seeing this scene, Duan Xing listened to a few people arguing there, but there was no result. The more he listened, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table and said, "The meeting is over!" We will discuss the matter again tomorrow. So they all stood up, gave a military salute, and took their leave.

Duan Xing and the others were gone, feeling depressed, so he walked out of the conference hall, at this time the sun was already in the west, Duan Xing saw that it was not early, and when he was about to go back to his room, he saw Zhang Yi still waiting outside the conference hall, so he asked him: "Zhang Yi, don't you go back to the room to rest?" It's getting late. ”

When Zhang Yi heard Duan Xing say this, he turned around and saw him with a worried face, so he said, "Lord Baihu should rest early." Duan Xing listened, sighed and complained: "The big war is coming, how can I slack off?" Now, whether it is reported to thousands of households, or not reported, it is not a good way. Report it, once the blame is down, you will be charged with 'lying about the military situation', but if you don't report it, it will become 'knowing and not reporting', and you will also be punished, Zhang Yi, what do you say you should do? After Zhang Yi heard this, he said to Duan Xing: "My lord, you have to make a decision early, and you must not hesitate, so as not to make a big taboo of missing the fighter." ”

Duan Xing listened to Zhang Yi's words, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "What you just said is very true, but I don't know how those thousand households are doing?" Zhang Yidao: "The surname of the thousand households is Zou, and his name is Wan, and he is a loyal and brave man. If you go to the Thousands of Households and Hundred Households and the Hundred Households are worried about making trouble, the adults can report it first, and I will then escort the captive Azhumu to testify to the adults. Duan Xing dispelled his worries, made up his mind, and said to Zhang Yi: "That's it!" Early tomorrow morning, I will immediately send someone to report to the Lord of the Thousand Households. You must be optimistic about Azhuomu, pay attention to sending someone to monitor him for a few days, and don't let go of every move. Zhang Yi said: "Under the mark, I think that although Azhuo Mu should not be gullible, it is not appropriate to do so, just hand it over to the bid." Duan Xing handed over the matter to Zhang Yi to do.
