"Thank you, Lord Qianhu!" Duan Xing said, and when he was about to retreat, Qianhu Zou Wan stopped him again and said: "You must be cautious in this action, you can't spoil a big thing because of carelessness, but you must be careful." ”

"Yes, Lord Qianhe, you must keep it in mind when you mark it." Duan Xing replied. Then Qianhu Zou Wan called six cronies and soldiers and said to them: "From now on, you will be under the command of Duan Xing Baihu, and you must be sincerely united with Duan Baihu, and you must not have selfish intentions. All right, go down, all of you. ”

"Yes, Senho-sama." Duan Xing and everyone saluted and retired.

Early the next morning, Zou Wan summoned all the hundreds of households and ordered each hundred households to quickly return to their own hundred households to prepare for the war. Meet nearby in five days. After the hundred households received the order, they each packed their luggage and went back to the hundred households, and Duan Xing also took Wang Li back to Xingyi Fort.

Duan Xing and Wang Li walked non-stop for two days, and finally rushed back to Xingyi Fort. As soon as he put down his luggage, he hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Yi! ”

Zhang Yi heard Duan Xing call him, and hurriedly responded: "Mark it here!" While answering, he ran towards Duan Xing. He came to Duan Xing and said, "What do you command?" ”

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Duan Xing asked, "How have you trained your brothers in the past few days?" Zhang Yi was about to answer, but Duan Xing said, "You go and gather the brothers first, and say that I have something important to announce in public." ”

"Yes! Lord of 100 households. Zhang Yi responded, and hurriedly rang the bronze bell used for the convening after the military salute, and as the bell rang, after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and the soldiers picked up their weapons and came to the open space in the center of the fort to line up and assemble, looking at the performance of the soldiers, Duan Xing couldn't help but praise in his heart.

After the soldiers reported the number and Duan Xing personally called the names, and confirmed that there were many people present, Duan Xing strode to the steps in front of the soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, today, I am here to announce to you a major event, a few days ago, the barbarians in the vicinity rebelled and were wantonly killing the people of the surrounding villages, and the lives of the people would be in danger at any time. ”

As soon as Duan Xing's words came out, the soldiers under the steps were excited, and they all shouted: "Then what else is there to say, hurry up and beat them!" "Yes, we can't let them harm the people anymore!" The soldiers below suddenly begged for battle

Listening to the words of the soldiers, Duan Xing knew that the morale was available at this time, and said, "Be quiet, listen to me." At this time, Duan Xing asked, "The big war is coming, are you afraid of death?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers below said in unison. Hearing this, Duan Xing knew that his morale was available at this time, so he said to the soldiers: "Everyone go and prepare dry food first, and then set off in two days." The soldiers received the order and dispersed.

The next day, Duan Xing called Wang Li and said to him: "You immediately go to Zhang Zongqi for me, call him over, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

"Yes." When Wang Li heard this, he ran to Zhang Yi's residence, and after a while, he brought Zhang Yi with him, he came to Duan Xing, and said, "Lord Baihu, Zhang Zongqi brings it." After Duan Xing heard this, he said to him: "Okay, you can step back first." ”

"Yes, sign it off." After speaking, Wang Li left. At this time, Zhang Yi asked, "I don't know what happened to the Lord of the Hundred Households?" Duan Xing listened and said to Zhang Yi: "It's not too late to take a look at this first and then discuss." With that, he handed him a piece of paper.
