"In the battle of Thorn City, the offensive of the Quartet Alliance is not going well?"

The people who were opening the letter suddenly got the news, and they all paused and were a little stunned.

Just as this letter could not be delivered directly to the hand, the control of correspondence in times of war is the norm of the day, and even the great families understand it, and there is no way to blame it.

It's just that Lu Jian's family is already strong, and his status in the family is not low, so many of the subordinates they brought can also inquire about the news from the outside.

But even so, the information on the battle situation in the far northeast is still confidential to them, and they don't know much, at most, they know that the war has begun, and Yuwen Xianbei, Duanbu Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Wang Jun, the ruler of Youping Prefecture, have joined forces to besiege the city.

Like other people's thoughts, they didn't think that the Xianbei Hu clan could have any advantages in defending the city, so they decided that Murong Xianbei's defeat was just a matter of time, and even as soon as the army arrived, it would break through the defense of the Murong tribe like a bamboo.

It can't be fake news, right?

"You don't even believe the news of the siege of the city, and of course you will have doubts about the situation on the side of the coalition army, which is normal," Chen Zi looked at a few people, but his words were calm, "You can read the letter first, and then let's discuss it after reading it." ”

His expression made Lu Jian and the others hesitate, but he still nodded, opened the envelope first, and looked at the family letter.

Noticing everyone's expressions and the atmosphere in the camp, Chen Zi sat still, but he had a feeling of being in control of the situation in his heart, which couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I am considered a handsome man in the Chen family, and I have often been praised by my grandfather in the past, so I took them with me to focus on teaching, but compared to Lu Jian, in fact, it is not as good, the family behind them is deep, and they also have a status, in the past, when I met them, I had to be polite and respectful, and I was at a disadvantage, and now relying on the situation of my brothers, a word can make them suspicious, this person's encounter, really depends not only on their own struggle, but also on the environment."

After he sighed here, the few people in front of him also read the family letter almost, that Gu En frowned, exchanged words with Lu Jian in a low voice, and then raised his head and asked: "I waited for the family, and we did talk about the war in the northern Xinjiang, and the Quartet coalition army besieged the city, but General Wang's soldiers and horses had not yet fully arrived, so the offensive was not smooth, and it fell into a stalemate and confrontation, but this does not change the predicament of the Murong family. It's not a coincidence, right? ”

"It's not a coincidence," Chen Zi replied calmly, "You have all sent someone to leave quickly and report to your family before, so Taishou arranged a letter and sent it to your family, in which he analyzed the war situation in the northern Xinjiang, talked about the setbacks that the coalition forces would encounter in the early days of the war, and roughly talked about the situation of Daijun in wartime, and borrowed people from your families on the grounds that you were here." ”

"Borrow?" Lu Jian's heart moved, "Wu Ding? ”

"That's right," Chen Zi nodded, "It's Wu Ding." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

Gu En said unceremoniously: "Chen Taishou took the Zheng family as a guide and summoned the martial arts of this generation of counties, and now he is using us as bait to let their respective families send martial arts, what do you want so many soldiers and horses for?" Besides, I don't think that just because my people are here, soldiers have been sent to my house! ”

The others nodded one after another, and sent the family to come over to guard, which may be normal, but at most a dozen or twenty people will be sent, and at most no more than thirty people, after all, Zhuge Yan traveled to study, and with his identity as the son of the martial marquis and the prince, there were only so many soldiers around him, and this should also count the family members under the names of the people who traveled with him, not to mention the present?

Chen Zi said: "There is another reason for this, mainly because Taishou promised the general canon, and at the same time, the family required is not much, on the other hand, Taishou has a certain prediction of the situation in the northern Xinjiang, I believe that it is precisely because some predictions have come true, so that your family will be loosened, in addition, there seems to be an agreement, it is about this generation of county, this specific reason, you can write to ask, or return to the family to understand." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone also understood, knowing that there were probably negotiations between the Chen family, the Yang family and their respective families behind this, and perhaps an exchange of interests.

Of course, Chen Zhi has a lot of fame, but his weight in terms of interests is not enough, even if he can summon some family members to come over, the number of people will not be large, and he will not be as easy as the family of Daijun, he will be absorbed and commanded.

Gu En suddenly said, "If we leave now, what reason do you have to summon the family again?" ”

"The family came over, in fact, to protect everyone," Chen Zi had already prepared for this statement, "If you leave, of course, you don't need to summon, in fact, this is also to be prepared, before the end of the war, Taishou can't estimate how much advantage it can have, can only plan for the worst-case scenario, the letter was sent out before the Xianbei was broken, and now the battle situation is improving, but Taishou at the beginning, he can't be sure that he can win, so he has to make more preparations." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Jian and the others are really hard to refute, and they have no intention of leaving, because they are faintly mentioned in the family letters of several people, so that they can stay in Dai County for the time being and wait and see what happens.

This instruction itself shows that the family behind them must have some agreement with Chen Zhi, and even have some tacit understanding.

So, when Chen Zi was talking, he couldn't help but be a little constrained, because he couldn't grasp his bottom line, but at the same time, they also had the heart to mention those soldiers outside, but Chen Zi never gave them this opportunity.

On the other side, the fact that everyone was invited into the camp tent had also been sent to Chen Zhi's table.

"These people have to be arranged, and when the war in northern Xinjiang is stable, we will have to face not only the Xiongnu and Xianbei Sanbu, but also Wang Jun, so I have to ask for some foreign aid."

Chen Zhi put down the information, turned his head and said to a scholar beside him, this person said respectfully.

Bao Jingyan heard this, but laughed: "Taishou, with my understanding of these families, they are all senior wall grass, expecting them to keep their promises, it is not realistic, even if Taishou you calculate the battle situation in the north and temporarily deter them, but when Wang Jun comes back to his senses, if there is a disadvantage on our side, I am afraid that the group of families will call their children back as soon as possible." ”

"Therefore, the promise brought by fame is not as good as the binding of interests, so the letter to each family also involves some specific things, standing with military strength, showing that he is not afraid of Wang Jun, and then luring him with profit, can move people's hearts, but it will take some time to see clearly." Chen Zhi said as he picked up a pen and paper and began to write.

Bao Jingyan heard what he said, but he was thoughtful.

At this time, a man suddenly came to report that he had found traces of the Huns in the forest again.

When Bao Jingyan heard this, he couldn't help but put away his smile, and said: "Within one day, a number of Hun scouts were found in a row, and it seems that the Huns are really going to march towards Dai County, and I don't know if Wang Quan has been in contact with them before, and whether he has cut a few people." ”

"I'm afraid the Huns won't come." The pen in Chen Zhi's hand did not stop, but he suddenly said such a sentence.

"Huh?" Bao Jingyan was quite surprised when he heard this, "How can you see it?" ”

Chen Zhi said without raising his head: "Scouts should be careful, but they are found several times a day, some are afraid that others will not know that the Huns are coming, this soldier's matter, it is a mixture of fiction and reality, and the truth is that the Huns really want to come to Dai County, and the raid is the first choice, so it should act quietly, and now it is like this, for fear that others will not know, then it means that it is a pretentious gesture." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhi lowered his head and sighed: "It's a pity, I originally used the method of replacing martial arts with martial arts, and transferred the four thousand martial artists who were properly trained through the connected dock forts, and transferred the newly obtained soldiers to the barracks, and confused the outside with the sound of drills, just to lure the enemy to surround it, and then take advantage of the situation to break through. ”

Bao Jingyan heard a little meaning, so he said: "So, the Huns have other goals, wouldn't Daixian no longer need to be so strictly guarded?" ”

"It can't be like this, we still have to be strictly guarded, and we can't take it lightly," Chen Zhi said, and suddenly the words changed, "What's more, although Xianbei is broken, although the Huns are gone, but the war situation in Northern Xinjiang has not subsided, then the aftermath will still affect Daixian, the real key is actually the Murong Department, it depends on how far they can go." ”

While the two were talking, someone came over to report the incident: "Taishou, there are a few people outside the city, and a few people are being held, saying that the Xianbei chief who was captured in the city wants you to interrogate." ”

Bao Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled silently.

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry to interrogate, let people take it first, go around the city a few times, let the people and scholars in the city know, and then bring it to me." ”

"No!"

After the messenger retreated, Bao Jingyan smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Taishou, this Xianbei leader sent over, after parading the streets, the city knows the prestige of Taishou's soldiers, and those who still have his thoughts, I am afraid that they will regret it, and they must rush to show their loyalty." ”

Chen Zhi put down his pen and replied with a smile: "The purpose of passing the prisoner is to reassure people's hearts, as for the families in the city, they have already handed over their martial arts, they are toothless tigers, and when the situation calms down, I am about to take care of it, it doesn't matter what these people think." ”

Bao Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then it seems that Taishou is going to report the victory to the court and Wang Jun next, so as to stabilize the situation." ”

Chen Zhi picked up a letter he had just written, put it in an envelope, and said with a smile: "No, not only will I not report the victory, but I also ask for help!" ”
