"Chen Taishou, we know the current situation, and we also understand your difficulties, but we also have real needs!"

Of course, they are not in the main hall, but in the side hall, one by one, they are all familiar faces, representing the family of Dai County.

Chen Zhi sat on the top, listening to Zhu Liu's words, thinking slightly.

This time, not only Zhu Xian, Tang Dian and others came to see him before, but also the patriarchs of several major families, they came forward in person, firstly, to show their attitude, and secondly, they also had the meaning of imperativeness, and they wanted to try their best to explain and support them.

The meaning of this group of Daijun families is also very clear, and their purpose is even clearer, that is, to persuade Chen Zhi to take out some of the gathered martial artists and let them take them home.

Before Zhu Liu, several other people had already spoken, and they expressed their meaning very clearly.

After everyone had said it again, Chen Zhicai said: "I understand what Zhu Jun means, and it is also reasonable, but only when Wu Ding gathers together can he have combat power, and if he is united, he will be weak, and if he is divided, the more time like this, the more he must concentrate his strength?" ”

"That's the case, but the Xianbei people dare to besiege the city, and General Wang Quan in the north is unwilling to send troops, in case they loot the city and go south, then our Daijun will bear the brunt!"

Beside Zhu Liu, Zhu Xian also spoke, with a hint of bitterness in his words: "Our Zhu family has a shallow foundation in the city, and there are many manors and dock forts, so the news is a little faster than others, and now two of those dock forts have been breached, and the clansmen are even more miserable, and they can no longer be contacted. ”

Wang Huo next to him also nodded, and said to Chen Zhi in a consoling tone: "We know that Taishou you summoned soldiers and horses and martial arts to protect Daijun, but also to protect Daixian, this was also made clear at the beginning, and we also agreed, and now we come to ask again, to be said to be fattened by others, but when we agreed, we really didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate to this situation." ”

"What has it gotten to worse?" Chen Zhi asked unhurriedly.

"Taishou," Tang Dian spoke up at this time, "We can live in the city, with heavy guards and this city wall to cover it, I expect that those Hu people will not be able to break the city even if there are two thousand or three thousand people, but the problem is that many manors and dock forts outside the city are not so easy, they are divided one by one, their own garrison strength is very weak, and there are many martial artists who have been summoned by you, how can this resist the Xianbei people?" In case the situation in the city repeats......"

Without waiting for the others to finish speaking, Chen Zhi said first: "The situation in the city can still be controlled. ”

"Taishou," Liu Frame of the Liu family straightened his waist and said loudly: "It's not that we mean to embarrass you, you said that the city can still control the situation, but the current situation is that there is no help, even if there is Wu Ding in Dai County, but Xianbei people can not attack the city, but turn to loot the surrounding villages and dock forts, without Wu Ding, how can we stop it?" ”

This Liu Frame, although he and the county magistrate Shi and Jun Cheng of Dai County are all from the Liu family, but they do not deal with each other, his half-brother Liu Xu, is the Taishou in Poyang County, Jiangzuo, so he has a lot of power in the Liu family.

"Yes, I really can't wait," Tang Dian said sincerely, "The first Wu Ding sent out by my Tang family will not come back, and more than three hundred people will be sent later, as long as these people can come back." He tried not to stimulate Chen Zhi to prevent Chen Zhi from misunderstanding that his family had other intentions.

As for the others, it's hard to say.

"Unless Taishou can prove it, that Xianbei person will not go south," Liu Huan continued, "but even if you can give a guarantee, we don't dare to fully believe it, after all, it is a Hu person......

Just when the people of several other families were about to echo him, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard outside the hall, and then a man dressed as a soldier, accompanied by several errand soldiers, walked in quickly, not caring about anyone in the room at all, so he hugged his fist and said to Chen Zhi, who was sitting on the high, with an excited face: "Taishou! Victory! Victory! Yang Sima led the troops, broke the Xianbei people, and wiped out his subordinates in the city! ”

After saying this, he gasped violently, leaving drops of sweat on his forehead, and his clothes were already soaked, but the emotional excitement made him pay no attention to the discomfort caused by the violent running.

"What did you say?"

Liu Frame, who was still waiting to talk about it, said that the words in his mouth seemed to be stuck in his throat in an instant, and he couldn't say anything, and he held it for a while before it turned into a question: "What kind of big victory do you say?" When the Xianbei of the city was driven away? ”

"Not driven away, but defeated!" The person who reported the news was still very excited, after all, he was the one who delivered the news of victory, so when he was asked, he did not hesitate, let alone conceal it, and took the initiative to correct the mistakes and omissions in Liu Frame's words, "That Xianbei tribe is the Xianbei people who surrounded Dangcheng County, they were defeated and annihilated by the men and horses sent out by the Taishou, and they were either killed or captured!" Victory! Victory! ”

"The people sent out by Taishou? Did the soldiers sent by the Taishou go? ”

Not only Liu Frame, but the others all looked at each other when they heard this, all of them were confused, with doubts in their hearts, more expectations, worries, but also joy, but several of them were in the depths of complex emotions, and they were even more worried.

"The soldiers in this city have not decreased, could it be the martial arts outside the city?" Wang Huo seemed to be talking to himself, but when he said that, he looked up at Chen Zhi.

"Wu Ding practices every day, and there is no day to stop, when did he go to Dangcheng? Is there something wrong? Zhu Liu also looked at Chen Zhi with a puzzled expression.

"Taishou, I hope you can tell me the cause and effect!" Tang Dian was one of the few people who calmed down the fastest, "Didn't you just say that the situation in the city has been controlled?" That's what I'm talking about. ”

"Yes, my news is a little faster than the battle report, but it is not detailed enough," Chen Zhi glanced at everyone and nodded slowly, he saw doubt and shock in everyone's eyes, and there was already a trace of fear.

"This ...... It can't be a lie about the military situation, right? Liu Frame said with some uncertainty, "Where did this force come from?" At present, the troops of Dai County are not enough to garrison the surrounding dock forts, so how can they rescue the city? ”

"This military news has to be passed along the way, he brought the military intelligence here, I don't know how many people have known about it along the way, so I won't hide it in this matter, otherwise I won't be able to sit firmly in this official position," Chen Zhi looked at Liu Frame, and then glanced at the people in the room, "You have to question, there is no problem with this, but I have indeed sent people to support, how to do it, and then you will slowly know, now this matter is in front of you, the Xianbei people you are worried about have been defeated, so those previous requests, Isn't it time to take it back? ”

When the heads of the families in the hall heard the words and looked at each other, they were a little undecided, and the main thing was that they couldn't determine the truth of the news, even if Chen Zhi's speech came to this point, the common sense and cognition in his mind still made it a little difficult for everyone to accept.

In this shock, Chen Zhi naturally ended this meeting.

"I think, all of you need a little time to digest the news you just got," Chen Zhi looked at everyone and said slowly, "You come here this time, I can understand the mood, change places, I'm afraid that Chen can't be stable, you have to master a certain hole card, and your heart can be steady, so I won't pursue anyone, but since I gave you a guarantee, I won't break my word and get fat, and you don't need to ask again, so I don't want to have a next time." ”

In the plain words, there is a taste that cannot be questioned and changed, and Chen Zhi usually shows a certain amount of kindness, but in wartime he needs to obey and implement, rather than repeatedly questioning.

In a slightly solemn atmosphere, the helmsmen of the family also had to retreat, and one after another they gave their hands to leave.

But Liu Frame didn't seem to give up, or rather, couldn't accept this result, and when everyone moved, he asked again: "What is this news, can't you confirm it?" In case there's something going on......"

"I have already sent a message over there, escorting the leader of the Xianbei people over this time, with the distance between the city and Dai County, it can be reached in half a day by light car and horse, no more than a day, and when someone arrives, your questions will naturally be solved, now go back first, I think there are people in your family who are still waiting for news."

Chen Zhi looked at Liu Frame quietly, and the latter suddenly felt a pressure fall on him, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Confused and shocked, these men finally left quickly, and many of them, before they had returned home, had just stepped into the carriage, and ordered men to go over to confirm the news, and at the same time they also gave birth to all kinds of conjectures, and many of them gave the same order—

"Send me more men to find out the news from the barracks outside the city! Just go! ”

With the same idea, there were also Zhang Jingsheng and others who were sitting in the tavern and talking, but at this time they had already walked out of the second floor of the tavern and stood on the street, looking at each other, all silent.

When the good news came just now, the messenger shouted along the street and said a few key words, which made everyone think about it.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Jingsheng suddenly said: "When the city wins? Or did Taishou send people there, where did the soldiers and horses come from? Could it be that those martial artists were secretly revealed? ”

"This is not in accordance with the art of war!" Gu En was the first to respond, his face flushed, recalling that since that day's martial arts, his various judgments were almost quickly rejected by reality, and today's paper talk, I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be refuted by reality immediately, so where did he put his face?

The more he wanted to get back face, the more he showed his ability, the more he miscalculated, the more Gu En thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he couldn't help but say: "I should go to the barracks outside the city!" ”
