After Duan Xing and Wang Li left Xingyi Fort, after two days and two nights of trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived at the station of the Thousand Households before the date agreed in the letter, on this day, Duan Xing and Wang Li came to the door of the Thousand Households, looked up, and saw a plaque above the door, which read "Thousand Households" three big characters, Duan Xing stepped forward to take a look again, the two soldiers at the door were bored, listless leaning on the spear, looking drowsy, Duan Xing was about to step forward to ask what was going on, Wang Li on the side saw it but was impatient, He walked straight up to a gatekeeper, grabbed him by the collar, and gave him a heavy slap with a "snap", and the soldier was immediately furious, just about to see who was so bold. At this time, Duan Xing stepped forward and dissuaded: "Don't be reckless! Retire! Although Wang Li was unwilling, he still held back his anger and retreated. The soldier next to him saw that there was a hundred households coming from behind, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to Duan Xing: "It turned out to be Lord Duan, I don't know what you have to do?" Duan Xing stepped forward and said to the soldier: "On the order of Lord Qianhu, I came here to discuss important matters, please inform me." The soldier casually glanced at Duan Xing and the others: "Lord Duan, please wait, the villain will go in and report." After speaking, he asked another soldier to stop Duan Xing and the others, and turned around and went into the Thousand Households to report.

About a quarter of an hour later, the soldier came out and said to Duan Xing and the others, "Lord Duan, you and this brother can go in, but you must hand over your weapons first. ”

When Duan Xing and Wang Li heard this, they glanced at each other, untied the saber they were wearing at their waists, and handed it to the soldier guarding the door (the reason why Duan Xing understood this rule was entirely because of the influence of the plot in the TV series in later generations, whenever there was an officer to discuss, the sergeant guarding outside always asked the participants to hand over their sabers and other weapons before discussing. At this time, the soldier made a "please" gesture for Duan Xing and the others to enter. After entering the gate of the Thousand Households, Duan Xing looked around and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he walked towards the meeting hall with Wang Li.

When he arrived at the door of the meeting hall, Duan Xing said to Wang Li: "You wait outside this hall first, you can't go in without me." After speaking, Wang Li replied: "Obey the order." Then, Duan Xing walked straight to the meeting hall.

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Duan Xing saw a middle-aged man with a stern demeanor and a long beard sitting at the top of the hall, Duan Xingxin said: This must be Zou Qianhu. He looked down again, and saw a group of people dressed as officers of hundreds of households sitting on both sides of the head, so he came to Zou Qianhu and bowed in front of him, and said, "Mark Duan Xing, one hundred households of the Hundred Households of Purple Maple Valley, and meet the Lord of Thousand Households." As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting at the top said lightly: "Sit down." ”

"Yes, Senho-sama." Duan Xing replied, and then sat down in an empty seat below.

At this time, Zou Qianhu coughed twice, cleared his throat and said: "A few days ago, Ben Qianhu got the news that the barbarians in the vicinity gathered to rebel, and until now the rebels have displaced the people in more than ten villages. Therefore, I have summoned you and others today to discuss how to deal with this barbarian rebellion, and you may as well talk about what you have to do. After Zou Wan finished speaking slowly and methodically, he waited for the answers of the hundreds of households below.

As soon as these words came out, all the hundreds of households present looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with them, and said to each other: "Why are you so unlucky, you have encountered such a thing." The hundreds of households exchanged words and ears for half an hour, but there was still no feasible strategy, and the entire hall suddenly fell into silence. Duan Xing saw it, and he didn't speak, but just thought on the side: It's really a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

Seeing that everyone was silent, his anger suddenly ignited, and he said, "Why don't you say a word?" Are they all dumb? If this is the case again, this thousand households will be dealt with by military law! When all the hundreds of households heard this, they were all frightened, and said: "Lord Qianhu, how can I resist the barbarian army if I have not practiced for a long time and do not know the battle formation?" When Zou Wan heard this, he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

All this was seen by Duan Xing, and he thought: You and others are all waste products who can only drink the blood of soldiers, and it is useless at a critical time. So, at this moment, Duan Xing stood up and saluted to Qianhu Zou Wan and said: "Lord Qianhu is angry for the time being, listen to what you just said, there is a plan under the mark, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”
