Bao Jingyan's carriage did not really arrive in Dai County until five days later, but as early as more than a day ago, after he arrived in Dai County, the news had already spread, and the village and town elders, three elders, and even some officials along the way came out to greet and condole, and they worked hard one by one.

In this regard, Bao Jingyan only maintained politeness, and did not stop too much, but galloped all the way towards Dai County.

And the closer you get to Daixian, the more you can notice the traces left by the war, but these traces are a little different from what Bao Jingyan has seen.

You must know that on the way north with Chen Zhi, they almost crossed the border of Hebei, passing through Xuzhou, the edge of Qingzhou and the central part of Jizhou, where it was also a post-war scene, but the local area was full of displaced people and famine, and the scene of barren people could be seen everywhere within a hundred miles.

Even many dock forts and manors are more than self-preservation, and it is difficult to have other ideas, and even many dock forts, because of the war disaster for many years, there is no harvest, and finally become a dead city.

Of course, the situation in many places in Jizhou is a situation where the military disaster lasts too long, but as long as there are soldiers crossing the border, there will be nothing good, Bao Jingyan has seen with his own eyes, the burning and looting of the wandering army when they cross the border, and those people even tried to rob Chen Zhi's convoy!

By analogy, the soldiers and horses of the Xianbei people will not be polite, but Bao Jingyan has come all the way, and the people he has seen are tired and embarrassed, but they do not have much suffering.

"This is Dai County, which is a little different from what I heard." Even Wang Gou, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but speak after watching along the way, "According to the army, Daijun's side is very difficult, and it is often attacked by the Hu people, and it is very common for wives to be separated, and many people have become homeless, going south and north, and they can't stop it, but along the way, it seems that many farmers have gathered around various docks, forts, villages and towns, and they are still farming!" ”

The more he spoke, the more incomprehensible the color on his face became: "Didn't you say that a large army was attacking a while ago?" This marching army, whether it is our soldiers and horses in the Central Plains or the soldiers and horses of the Hu people, seeing that there are crops and grain in this field, even if they don't harvest and take them away, they will be burned down to prevent the enemy, why are there so many left? ”

Hearing him say this, Bao Jingyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the folk customs in the frontier land were really strong, so that Wang Gou's simple words, he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

After pondering for a moment, Bao Jingyan still said: "This eighty percent is related to the Xianbei people are a surprise attack, they are planning to hit Dai County by surprise, but as soon as they come into contact, they will be defeated and lost, scattered and fled, where is there still a chance to invade the surrounding area, it is too late to escape, otherwise, it will be easy to be caught and chased all the way......"

said so, but in his heart, he was thinking about An An, what kind of method was used in this city to defeat the Xianbei soldiers and horses at once, you know, even if it is cavalry, but it is also tens of thousands of people, how did it do it?

That Wang Gou didn't think about it so much, but he was impressed by the strength of the defenders of Daijun, and couldn't help but yearn for it.

However, as the carriage walked, a burst of chaos suddenly broke out in front, and then there was a chaotic footstep, and then I saw a man dressed as a general, with a group of soldiers, rushing from the front, hula la, the first few people, as soon as they saw Bao Jingyan's carriage, they immediately stopped, and then said that they would open the car and let them search.

"You don't even ask who is sitting in my car, and you are too bold! Are you really not afraid of offending nobles? The driver who drove the car frowned and reprimanded him coldly.

It was this person who took Bao Jingyan to Wang Jun's side before, but as a result, Bao Jingyan, the envoy, was detained and placed under house arrest, and the people who accompanied the envoy were also punished, and this coachman was naturally no exception, and suffered a lot.

As a result, with Bao Jingyan being released, this group of people was also regathered, and faintly noticed that the attitude of people up and down Jixian County towards self-recognition and others had changed.

When everyone knew the news of Daijun, they immediately straightened up their waists one by one, and along the way, they were greeted by the front and back, even if they followed Bao Jingyan, they also had arrogance, and they would not be polite when they met ordinary soldiers.

As soon as the soldiers heard the coachman's tone and knew that it was not an ordinary person, they immediately hesitated.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? At this time, the general who was watching coldly from the back came over, "Who is in the car, who actually does not cooperate with the investigation?" ”

A soldier whispered: "Team leader, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. ”

"Not an ordinary person?" The team leader looked at the carriage and saw that there were many damages, but his eyes swept over a sign on it, and he was immediately startled, and then immediately changed his face, and said to the car: "It turned out to be Mr. Bao, Mr. was frightened, and I saw Mr. Chen Tiande." ”

On the carriage, the Wang Gou heard the words, but he couldn't help sighing, although he was born as a soldier, but he also had some origins, these days he followed Bao Jingyan all the way to the west, and gradually let go, and faintly felt Bao Jingyan's identity and status, at this time, he heard the movement outside the carriage, and he was not afraid at all, but waited, wanting to see what the reaction of those soldiers was after Bao Jingyan's identity was announced, and the result was only halfway through the show, and the people outside the car had already seen the clues, which immediately made Wang Gou feel a little regretful.

However, he immediately realized that he should not be an ordinary team leader who could pay attention and recognize the mark on the carriage at once.

Sure enough, Bao Jingyan lifted the lotus and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Team Leader Chen, I saw you in Chen Zhuang before, but I didn't expect that now I have really become a soldier, and I also started from the team leader, I don't know who you are here to search?" ”

"It's really my honor that Mr. Bao still remembers me," Chen Tiande made a flattered look, "I came here this time to arrest a Xianbei soldier, this person has good skills, and he was originally surrounded, but he grabbed a long knife, killed several good hands, broke out of the encirclement, fled to a village in front, and hid for a few days, the village is called Yangjia Village." ”

"Oh? There are such things, then it is indeed necessary to be cautious," Bao Jingyan nodded, "In that case, please send someone to the car to search." ”

Chen Tiande hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Don't dare, Mr. Bao sent Wang Jun for my family's Taishou, what a dangerous thing, in terms of merit, it is also not allowed to let the two Yang Jun, how can it be possible to harbor fugitives, look at you like this, this is just coming back, my family Taishou must be waiting for you, do you want me to send a few soldiers to escort along the way?" ”

"Then you don't have to worry about the team leader." Bao Jingyan said that he didn't want the other party to really come to search, tossing and turning, it was really troublesome, since the other party was so on the road, after a few polite words, he would go back on the road.

"What is the origin of this Chen team master?" As soon as the carriage and horses left, Wang Gou came up to ask for advice.

Bao Jingyan said with a smile: "You heard his surname Chen, don't you have a little guess?" ”

Wang Gou immediately asked, "Is it from the Xiapi Chen family?" Taishou's own family? ”

"It's the Pengcheng Chen family," Bao Jingyan named the identity of Chen Tiande, "This person is said to be the same clan of Taishou, but he is only a distant relative, and there are many people from the Chen family here in Daijun now, but they have come in several batches, most of them are gathered in Chen Zhuang, and now most of them have positions, after all, there are some things that can only be done by their identity." ”

"I see," Wang Gou nodded, and then said, "I heard that there are four major families on the Daijun side, it seems that Wang, Zheng, Zhu, and Tang, these four families, now it seems that they will also be counted as the Chen family in the future." ”

"The Chen family has sent so many people, including a lot of craftsmen, obviously planning to leave branches here, and now that Taishou is victorious and Xianbei, and really gain a firm foothold, the Chen family will inevitably develop rapidly, and it will not hurt to be good friends with the people of the Chen family."

Bao Jingyan said, and suddenly the words changed: "However, the four major families you just talked about are now afraid that there will be changes, the Zheng family has declined, and the Chen family has risen strongly, and it will definitely be replaced." ”

Wang Gou said again: "I heard that there is also a Chen family in Daijun, which is also quite well-established and has a great momentum, will it become five families in the future?" ”

"You know a lot," Bao Jingyan glanced at Wang Gou deeply, and then changed his words, "The Chen family is in trouble now, and I'm afraid it won't be much of a problem if it declines like the Zheng family." ”

The two chatted like this, but gradually sketched out the entire family territory of Daijun, and at the same time, the city of Daixian was already in sight.

On the other hand, the Liu family, which was talked about by the two, is now panicked, and many people have left Dai County and gone to other places, wanting to avoid trouble, so as not to be involved in Liu Frame's matter.

But compared with others, Liu Bao and Liu Qing, father and son, undoubtedly see it very clearly.

"If you really get involved, it's useless to run anywhere," Liu Bao has no reservations about his son, "If you can follow the example of the Zheng family and exchange most of the family wealth for the Taishou not to be held accountable, it will be good." ”

Liu Qing sighed and said: "But now the group of people left by Liu Frame want to get in touch with Liu Xuan in the south, and use Liu Xuan's identity as Poyang Taishou to make peace with Chen Taishou, which is too confused. ”

"Taigong is not confused, he doesn't want to watch the Liu family decline, half of the family property, that's not a small amount, how many people are involved in it? How much money and caravans? It's so easy to decide! Liu Bao frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "But things can't go on, it was my lack of determination that led to today's disaster, but now there is no time for me to hesitate, our Liu family must have a trade-off!" Only by letting Taishou let go of prejudices can we talk about future development! ”

After saying a word, he said goodbye to his son and left Liu's mansion.
