Dai County is much colder now.

The city gate of the county seat is closed most of the time, and when someone comes, it will be opened for a while, and even if it is opened, it is necessary to repeatedly interrogate the origin before this, and find out the identity of the person who came, and then the city gate will be opened.

After entering the city gate, no matter which street it is, most of them are empty, and few people can hardly be seen walking in them, and most of the shops and shops along the way are closed and closed.

"I don't know how long this situation will last."

Looking at the empty street, Zhang Jingsheng, who was sitting in the restaurant, said to Lu Jian, beside the two of them, Gu En, Wang Kuai, Luo Yang and others knelt on the seat in turn.

Lu Jian took a sip of tea and chuckled: "I still remember when I first came, although Daijun was not as prosperous as the south, this street was still quite lively, the merchants from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the Hu merchants who came from the grassland, all gathered here, shouting and selling, even if we sat on the second floor and lowered the curtains, we could still hear it clearly." ”

"Now I can't hear anything, not only can't I hear, but when I look at the past, I can't see anything except a few pedestrians." When Luo Yang spoke, he also looked down at the window next to him, where he was sitting, he was close to the window, and he could see the scene outside when he turned his head.

"These are all the effects of the war," Wang Kuai sighed and shook his head slightly, "In the past, I only heard about the war from my father's mouth, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and my heart is really a little different. ”

Gu En sat next to Luo Yang, and when he heard this, he also looked down, and said as he watched: "I heard that the war situation has spread to the city, and it is not far from Dai County, many dock forts between these two counties have been closed, and even communication has been interrupted, I really don't know what situation will evolve into in the end, gentlemen, I have been too busy with government affairs and military affairs in the past few days, and I have no intention of writing books, and there is no progress in the general canon chapter, if the situation is really unfavorable, I might as well return first." ”

Luo Yang nodded and said: "Yes, I am really a little disappointed to come here this time, the so-called general dictionary is to see a few fragments, and I have to endure the risk of war, I think that although this Chen Taishou has the ability, this reputation is still a little exaggerated, but it can be regarded as a harvest to see you." ”

Wang Kuai said: "A few of my friends in the official mansion have recently spread the news that the battle situation in the city has changed, and it seems that the siege of the county has been resolved, but my friend is only an official in the official mansion after all, and he can't get in touch with too many military affairs, and he doesn't know much about it, but maybe there is a turnaround." ”

"Break the siege? Who's going to solve it? Gu En shook his head and sighed softly, as if he had emotion in his heart, "Although we are now trapped in the city and the news is blocked, but in the past few gatherings, there are also people who are proficient in military and power skills have speculated, aren't they?" At the moment, Wang Jun led the army to the north, unable and would not support Daijun, then Wang Quan may be possible, but at the moment he is not moving, the entire Daijun can fight in the hands of Wang Quan, if he doesn't save it, who can break the siege? Is Chen Taishou? ”

At the last few words, he shook his head with a smile, as if he had said something funny.

"Taishou also has soldiers and horses in his hands." Zhang Jingsheng glanced at Gu En and said this.

Gu En chuckled and said: "There are soldiers and horses, it's true, but the soldiers and horses still have to practice, this matter of sharpening guns in battle is already dangerous, not to mention that those martial artists were sent one after another, and they were all trapped in the barracks outside the city, they practiced very hard, every early morning, even in the city, they could faintly hear the sound of the slogan, but the war does not rely on shouting slogans, they still have a lot to learn." ”

Luo Yang also nodded and agreed: "Those members of my family often practice, but to become a combat force, it takes at least half a year, this is still my father's proper practice, with the family heirloom method, I believe that Taishou may not be able to enter the realm like this in an instant." ”

"In any case, it is best that the situation on the other side of the city can still be resolved, otherwise, after a long time, there will be many rumors, and it will be turbulent, and even the other cities in Dai County will not be condensed," Lu Jian suddenly spoke, "So the news you heard, Brother Wang, probably also has the meaning of calming people's hearts." ”

Zhang Jingsheng put down the teacup, looked directly at the person opposite, and asked, "Brother Lu means that this is the fake news that Taishou deliberately spread in order to calm people's hearts?" ”

"It may not be fake, but if there is a void, this is not a bad thing," Lu Jian's demeanor had a kind of gratitude and calmness, "If you decide people's hearts by this matter, your heart will be united and your strength will be great, on the contrary, if your heart is chaotic, your strength will fail, this is also the law of herdsmen, and it is not shameful, if it is me, in this situation, in order to maintain stability in the city, maybe I will also make this decision." ”

"What's next?" Zhang Jingsheng still heard the meaning behind these words, "Is this the next policy for you?" ”

"Everyone," Wang Kuai heard the unhappiness in Zhang Jingsheng's words, and also noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he immediately tried to change the topic skillfully, "In fact, the current battle situation can be regarded as complicated, the Huns, the Xianbei people, the siege of the city, the invasion of the Kou, plus the garrison and preparation on the side of Daixian, if it is replaced by the monarchs, how to deal with it?" ”

His sudden question surprised everyone, but then Wang Kuai smiled and said: "You see, a few of us have some status at home, that must have learned the military strategy, this soldier deduction is also one of them, in the past, we could only listen to the ideas of the elders in the clan, or intercept some battles in the past, and then deduce, but this time it is different, although we have not personally participated, but we are close at hand, and we have heard a lot of news, why not take this opportunity to deduce?" ”

"This is a bit interesting," Gu En nodded, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have similar thoughts, but it's not easy to mention, after all, Chen Taishou's reputation is there, and when I watched him perform martial arts on the battlefield that day, and listened to him talk about the formation, I knew that his military attainments were also extraordinary, so he didn't dare to get an axe." ”

"Performing martial arts and talking about the battle, it is about the art of war, but those soldiers and horses who are too guarded are useless after all," Luo Yang took over, "I have a brother in my family, and he often plays martial arts, and the head of the art of war is the Tao, but when he really leads the troops, even if he is not in battle, he is just fighting against my father, and he is also frightened, it can be seen that being proficient in the art of war and whether he will fight are two different things, anyway, we are talking about it today, Brother Gu, you might as well talk about it." ”

"Brother Luo, you didn't see Taishou preach that day, that's why you said that," Gu En politely said, but then changed the conversation, "But it's okay, anyway, we are just having fun in the bitterness, what we eat and drink these days is not ideal, if you don't dare to say it, then it's really not fun, in fact, I still have some thoughts about the current situation, I think half of this crisis situation is caused by Taishou's improper response." ”

"Mishandled?" When Zhang Jingsheng heard this, he took a sip of tea.

"Yes, I know that Brother Zhang admires Taishou very much, but don't be busy refuting me yet, listen to my words, although the war in the northern Xinjiang is sudden, I believe that there must be signs in advance," Gu En also took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly, "If it were me, as soon as I came to this northern frontier, I would send enough spies and eyeliners to build a spy report, and then at the same time as I made a decision to the county family, it was better to send people to Wang Jun, and at the same time maintain a harmonious relationship with the surrounding tribes and counties, so ......"

"In this way, when the war comes, you will be able to deal with it calmly?" Zhang Jingsheng put down the teacup and shook his head, "But there is one thing you are not wrong. ”

Gu En smiled: "I really didn't expect that on this issue, Brother Zhang would actually agree with me." ”

Zhang Jingsheng also laughed, and heard him say: "Yes, you said that you are a soldier on paper, which is not wrong at all. ”

Gu En's face suddenly turned bad.

Lu Jian suddenly said: "Two, in fact, this matter is just our own opinion, not to mention what Brother Gu said, in fact, it also makes sense, he thinks that soldiers are a big thing, and they can't be used lightly, and if they can be solved by vertical and horizontal techniques, there is no need to use force and shed blood in vain." ”

"That's why I said he was talking on paper," Zhang Jingsheng stood up from his seat, came to Gu En's side, and looked directly at him, "Let's not say that this is an invasion of the Hu people, but it's not that Taishou takes the initiative to use the sword, just say that what you said about making friends with all parties is a dead knot, you have made friends with Xianbei, how to make friends with the Huns?" The relationship between Tuoba Xianbei and the Xiongnu is not harmonious, this Gu Jun shouldn't know, right? ”

Gu En's eyelids jumped as he listened, but he didn't say anything.

"You really don't know?" Zhang Jingsheng was also slightly stunned, "If you really attach importance to intelligence as you said, and as soon as you come to the place, you will send spies and eyeliner, then before you go north, shouldn't you first understand the situation here?" Jijing, before you came, you should know which part of the Xianbei friendship Taishou is with, right? ”

Jijing is Luo Yang's character, although his prejudice against Chen Zhi has been reduced, it has not been eliminated, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard it, but he had to say: "Yes, Chen Taishou and Tuoba Xianbei are friendly. ”

Zhang Jingsheng followed up and said: "Tuoba Xianbei has been at war with the Xiongnu for many years, and Tuoba Xianbei has a good relationship, and it is not easy to have a good relationship with the Xiongnu again, not to mention that Chen Taishou also killed a prince of the Xiongnu and killed their chieftain of the previous generation. ”

Gu En opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhang Jingsheng followed and said: "Maybe things are not as simple as you think, maybe Taishou's preparation, you don't realize at all that at least it is not easy to maintain the current scale of Wuding, because it requires money and food." ”

Gu En had realized that there were many loopholes in his words, but he felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he instinctively retorted when he heard this: "Money and food? There is a granary in the county seat! ”

"I'm afraid that the grain in those granaries can't be eaten by the martial arts of the family," Zhang Jingsheng shook his head.

Gu En knew that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, but he still said to himself: "But what is the use of Chen Zhi recruiting these martial artists? Can they win the battle? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingsheng couldn't say anything with his mouth.

But just then, a fast horse galloped outside, and the knight on the horse was shouting—

"Big win! Victory! ”
