With panic and anxiety, several scouts immediately turned back to Dangcheng without stopping after making sure that there were no spies around, and after they entered the city, in less than a cup of tea, two fast horses galloped out of Dangcheng.

Of the two horses, two sat on one horse, and one was empty.

One of the two people on the horse was Jiang Xi, but this scout from a farmer was not skilled in riding, so he was at most a passenger, and he was led forward by the real rider.

The horse galloped fast on the official road, and soon saw several villages and towns in the outermost part of Dai County.

On the other hand, in the county seat of Dai County, there was no Taishou in the county guard's yamen, Chen Zhi, the county guard, actually came to his own workshop, and after meeting the person in charge, Li Li, he called Li Li's younger brother, the talented Li Wei, to a wing room in the workshop.

During this period of time, Chen Zhi commanded and dispatched the defense of the county, and spent most of his time in the official yamen, and he was not even diligent when he returned to his own house, and this workshop was almost unattended.

However, Chen Zhi's people did not come, but the investment in the workshop was not ambiguous at all, and the scale and scope were constantly expanding.

Today's Chen's workshop has developed from a small workshop of the Zheng family to a continuous house covering an area of many areas, and almost all the courtyards and houses around it have been bought by the Chen family, some of which are used as workshops, and the other part is where craftsmen and handymen sleep and live.

In addition, a brand new workshop has been built in Chenzhuang outside the city, and it is said that most of the work of the workshop in the city will be transferred in the future.

Of course, at present, the workshop in the city is still the top priority of the Daijun Chen family, especially the paper mill, which has now become a major income pillar of the Daijun Chen family, gradually showing its power.

However, Chen Zhi came over today, not to ask about the paper mill, after he called Li Wei, he asked a few words, and after getting an answer, his brows furrowed slightly.

"According to you, that thing has been pieced together?"

Li Wei is not very old, and his temperament is usually quite jumpy, but when facing Chen Zhi, he is restrained and cautious, he did not answer immediately, but thought for a while, and then said: "According to your instructions, I spliced together a few things that the Ma family had refined, and then pulled them into our own iron shop to build, which was barely completed, but after a few knocks, I always felt that it was difficult to hold on a few times." ”

"That's enough, it's meant to be used temporarily," Chen Zhi nodded, and said, "Don't waste the rest of the leftovers, just put them together." ”

Li Wei said that he understood, and then took the opportunity to leave.

As soon as the others left, Chen Zhi took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was the "Tiger Wings Trap Map" accumulated by drawing lots at the beginning.

This picture comes from the Mo family sign, a total of two, and the "Tibetan Seed Map", "Finding the Symbol" at the same time, but Chen Zhi has kept it, that is, he intends to use it at a critical moment.

As long as there is a prototype of the concept, the general outline and concept are written on paper, and the secret room is guarded for three days, there can be a complete structural drawing.

At this time, Chen Zhi looked at the responsible structure above, his eyes swept over several relatively independent figures, and finally tore it with both hands, and actually directly smashed the drawing.

The confetti here was put away, and Chen Ju's voice came from outside the door over there, and there was a hint of anxiety in his voice-

"Lord, when someone comes to the city, he says that he has something important to report."

After a cup of tea, Chen Zhi met Jiang Xi in the backyard of the yamen.

Facing the actual ruler of Daijun, Jiang Xi was inevitably a little nervous and excited, so much so that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Don't be anxious," Chen Zhi waved his hand when he saw this, and said comfortingly, "I remember that your name is Jiang Xi, I captured the two leaders of Ke Bo Zhenbu before, and I saw you at that time." ”

"I didn't expect you to be too vigilant and remember the villain!" Jiang Xi heard this, and his face flushed with excitement, only feeling that his heart was surging, such a small person as himself could make Chen Zhi remember it all the time, inexplicably, he felt that he was much closer to Chen Zhi, and the tension dissipated a lot.

Seeing that the other party was calm, Chen Zhi took the opportunity to ask, "You said you met Xianbei people?" ”

Jiang Xi hurriedly told the scene he and the others saw in the forest.

"Probably an approximate estimate?" Chen Zhi then asked again.

Jiang Xi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "At that time, the situation was too critical, and we all patronized and hid in the end, so that we were negligent to the soldiers and horses, and I hope to forgive our sins." ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "You have not done anything wrong, the scouts are all the elite of our army, how difficult it is to cultivate one, to protect yourself is the best choice, not to mention that you also brought the news back, if you are impulsive, not only your own life is not guaranteed, but I will not know the news, so you are not guilty and meritorious!" ”

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Chen Zhi then said: "You have been working hard all the way, and it is even more tiring to investigate the enemy before, go down to recuperate first, and then if you want to know the details, I will summon you again." ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Jiang Xi heard this, and only felt that Chen Zhi was really approachable and loved the people like a son, and retreated in a state of agitation.

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes.

"Is this going to raid Dai County? Duan Wenyang is quite courageous, but it is also my chance! ”

When the thought fell, he immediately called Chen Ju and asked him to call all the officials in the city, and then called Ran Zhan to come over and asked him to come forward and lead people to "invite" the elders, talkers and outstanding children of the major families in the city to the yamen.

………………

Smack! Smack! Smack!

On the dirt road, the horse's hooves fall on it, making a constant noise.

The Xianbei soldiers and horses who left the dense forest finally came to the flat avenue, and after a short repair, they moved forward slowly.

Walking in the forefront, it is the soldiers and horses that directly belong to Duan Wenyang, all of them are strong and strong, full of spirit, and even the horses under their crotches look radiant, obviously carefully fed.

In fact, since Duan Xianbei followed Wang Jun, he has focused on the development of cavalry, and paid special attention to the feeding of horses and the selection of horse food, and this time Duan Wenyang went out on an expedition, and after bargaining with Wang Quan, he got good forage from him, so although he accelerated his pace in order to run along the way, he still did not delay the care of the horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that on this journey, many small tribes who were forcibly coerced may not be able to catch up with these horses!

And these cavalry are also worthy of this treatment, especially the three thousand horsemen, but also the descendants of the lineage, under the leadership of Duan Wenyang, it can be said that the southern and northern wars, especially since following Wang Jun, with him several times in and out of the Central Plains, first pacified the Hebei refugees, and attacked the Qianren bandit army, and even the Hun cavalry have fought several times.

After so many fierce battles, even if he has not been tempered into an elite division, with the blessing of rich experience, he will far surpass the combat power of other soldiers and horses.

Not to mention, in order to maintain this cavalry, Duan Wenyang and Duan Xianbei invested a lot of financial resources and manpower every year, and then used such men and horses to go out to fight and plunder, so as to feed back.

Duan Wenyang rode a high-headed horse, walking in front of this cavalry, raising his head and chest, as if he was integrated with these three thousand people, exuding an indescribable fierce aura.

Compared with the cavalry in the lead, the soldiers and horses on both sides and wings are too inferior, not only are they not comparable in spirit, they all look tired, and many people are depressed, and even some of them are still swinging when they walk, and even their clothes are also heaven and earth.

A large part of these people can be called ragged, if they don't follow the army, they still have a faint formation and formation, I am afraid that they will be regarded as beggars.

These are undoubtedly the people of the small tribe who were forcibly requisitioned along the way, this group of people originally fled because of the Xianbei civil war, most of them were Xianbei tribes, there were also other small tribes, and the number of people was not large, but it was quite considerable when they gathered together.

This time, Wang Quan blocked the road, so that Duan Wenyang could only bring in less than half of the people, but he still decisively selected these miscellaneous armies together, which had his own considerations, not only to avoid too much consumption of his own strength, but also to prevent these people from the small clan who were pulled by him from scattering again, affecting his plan.

Of course, more importantly, these people are very ideal cannon fodder, and they are perfect for testing and attacking cities.

In a brutal siege battle, even if the besieging side wins in the end, it often has to pay a huge price, Duan Wenyang is of course reluctant to send his own descendants, and even the subordinate army of his own clan does not want to consume too much.

Da-da-da-da!

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front, and then a young man who was slightly thin but looked quite shrewd rode his horse, grabbed the reins from a long distance from Duan Wenyang, and said, "Hao Shuai, we are still half a day away from Nadai County!" I've sent people to control the traffic and pedestrians. ”

"Good boy! Well done! Duan Wenyang nodded, the young man opposite was his kindred, named Duan Min, the two were close, and they were his right-hand man, not tall, but brave in battle.

On the other side, Zheng Ru on the side couldn't help but say: "General, a few days of hurrying, crossing the forest and crossing the river, the soldiers and horses will inevitably be tired, this half day is not far or close, and there are soldiers and generals to control the people who pass by, why not let the army repair it, recuperate, and then attack Dai County?" ”

Duan Wenyang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "The soldiers are very fast, and they finally arrived here, just to kill Chen Zhi by surprise, how can they give up halfway in front of him?" Duan Min, pass on my military order, march immediately! ”

Zheng Ru's face changed, and he shook his head slightly, vaguely guessing that the reason why this general was so impatient was probably related to the current situation in the Xianbei departments, which was really difficult to dissuade.
