"This Wang Jun is really ambitious! After the unification of Xuanwu, the Mintun was abolished, and the original Tun people wanted to organize the households, and the Tuntian officials were dismissed to serve the government, and the peasants were the guards, and the commanders were all commanders, but that was in the hinterland, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, not the frontier! ”

Looking at the land of Tuntian on the Qianmo line ahead, especially watching the military town where people came and went, in and out, Yang Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

By his side, his brother Yang Song was like an adjutant, and said with some puzzlement: "I have seen a place with Tuntian in the south, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, it seems that it is not much different from this side of Xinjiang, right?" ”

Yang Yuan couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "Brother, I mentioned these things when my uncle was lecturing, you won't forget it so quickly." ”

Yang Songdeng's face was embarrassed.

Yang Yuan went on to say: "In addition to a few official tuns around Huaishui, most of the other tuntians you see in Jiangnan are state and county public fields, this law has been implemented when I was a great Han Zhaolie, for the military officials to plant, the acceptance of rice, according to the different uses of the field, and there are vegetable fields, picking fields, fat fields, Lu fields, and this tuntian is different. ”

"I see." Yang Song nodded, and after resolving the embarrassment, he looked into the distance again, and couldn't help but say, "That doesn't seem to be much different from this Wang Jun's field." ”

"This Wang Jun's tuntian, the original intention should be to prepare for the army, and it is difficult to interfere with the local guard, but the imperial court has its order," Yang Yuan pointed to the fields in the distance, "But look at this situation, this town will rise, there are many people, there are merchants and farmers, and the exchanges are very lively, if there is no city wall to enclose it, it will be a town!" He Wang Jun has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are soldiers and people, if they are all like this, they are a few cities controlled by him! The difference between this, my brother still doesn't understand? ”

"He's going to divide the land and rule the people!" Yang Song narrowed his eyes, "The reason why the soldiers are divided separately is to prevent the influence of the frontier generals from directly infiltrating the counties, even if he Wang Jun is the general who leads the army and is the assassin of the people, but in addition to him, the officials below are still separated, and they are clearly distinguished, the pawn farmers lead the troops, and the counties are too guarded, and the two have nothing to do with each other, so that the future politics of the imperial court will also help to make them check and balance each other." ”

"That's right," Yang Yuan nodded, "It seems that my brother hasn't forgotten all the things that my uncle taught me." ”

Then, he ignored Yang Song's embarrassment and continued: "On the one hand, Wang Jun infiltrated the county and opened up Pingzhou, and in turn squeezed out the original county guard of Youzhou, and in less than two years, he found various excuses to transfer the Taishou who was unwilling to return to obedience, and Chen Taishou was able to get the position of acting as the county, and because of this, on the other hand, with the help of the Hu people, he wanted to evolve the garrison soldiers in the frontier and turn Tuntian into a town, and the next step was to run the town into a county." ”

"That's right!" Yang Song looked into the distance, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "The frontier tuntian land has always been the first line to resist the Hu people, and it is often not peaceful, even if the blood of some tun soldiers remains, but those tun people often have to be cautious, where can it be like here, there is a state of prosperity." ”

"A large part of the credit for this prosperity is still due to the Hu and Han miscellaneous places, this generation of northern land, in addition to a few county towns in the south, there have long been Hu people infiltrated in the north, so the Hu style is prevalent here, plus many Hu people under Wang Jun's command, so when there are tribes herding horses south, here is the least affected." Yang Yuan nodded, his tone changed slightly.

Yang Song immediately frowned: "In this way, Taishou is really not wrong, with Wang Quan guarding the door, it is really not peaceful for Daijun, for the prosperity of this place, I am afraid that he will deliberately release Huma." ”

"So," Yang Yuan raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, "today you and I should get to the root of the problem and expel these moths!" ”

The two brothers, the ability to guard Dai County, and in one fell swoop broke Ruan Bao's soldiers and horses, and then received an order, after transferring the search work to the scouts, leaving a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city, the two brothers led the troops north, straight to the place of the Dai Bei garrison, and saw the general situation of the garrison, so there was such a conversation.

Just as the two were talking, a few people suddenly approached from behind, led by Jiang Xi.

The young man's face was still smeared with green mud, and before he could wipe it off, he went straight to him.

"Jiang Xi, you've been running back and forth for the past few days, it's really hard," seeing the visitor, Yang Song first appeased, and then went straight to the point, "Have you figured it out?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yuan also looked over.

"Yes!" Jiang Xi paused, organized his words in his heart, and then said: "The reason why the garrison here is so lax is that it has been a habit for many years, and secondly, the general stationed here, the lieutenant general in charge of the army, is not here, but led a part of the soldiers and horses to go elsewhere. ”

"Wang Quan is not here, is he going somewhere else?" Yang Yuan frowned, "It shouldn't be some kind of suspicious plan, right?" ”

"I don't think so," Yang Song figured it out instead, "Wang Quan doesn't look like a smart person, and in order to give him a surprise attack, Taishou ordered you and me, and after receiving the order, he immediately led the troops north, where did he Wang Quan have time to arrange?" ”

Yang Yuan nodded, looked at Jiang Xi, and suddenly his heart moved, and he saw that the other party seemed to have something to say: "Jiang Xi, what else have you discovered?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Xi hesitated.

He was a scout before, and found the traces of Duanbu, so he hurried to Dai County and told Chen Zhi what he saw in person, and at that time, because of his well-organized speech, Chen Zhi was deeply impressed.

After the siege of the city, knowing that the Duan Department was defeated, Jiang Xi immediately asked to return to the front line, so he rushed back to Daixian with Chen Zhi's order, and after conveying the news to Liang Yang, he refused the order to rest, but returned to his post as soon as possible.

This kind of dedication immediately made Liang Yang look down on him, plus because of Wang Niu's guidance, as well as his successive meritorious contributions and seeing many characters, Jiang Xi's eyes have been opened, and his speech is also very orderly, which makes people look at him differently.

For example, this time, although a scout was sent out, only Jiang Xi was asked to answer when asked, which was actually an act of default leadership.

In the same way, being so valued by others, Jiang Xi certainly has something extraordinary, and he is more and more confident, so he can judge things for himself.

After hearing the inquiry, he only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly gave an answer: "When I was mixed in, I heard many people saying that the Zhonglang general may have led troops to stop the Xianbei people, but these have no evidence, and they are hearsay in Tunzhen, so they didn't say it just now." ”

"Stop the Xianbei people?" Yang Song had a surprised and strange expression on his face, "This is strange, he just let a group of Xianbei people in, and now he suddenly thinks about blocking it?" ”

"Actually," Jiang Xi sorted out the wording, and said carefully: "As far as we know, not all of the Xianbei people that Wang Quan put in, this time Duan Wenyang led the troops over, and a total of nearly 70,000 people arrived in Dai County, but Wang Quan only put half of them in for safety reasons, that is, 30,000 people." ”

"Stupid!" Yang Yuan said coldly, and then asked, "Is it the remaining half of the centaurs that he is going to block now?" Duan Wenyang is not here, there is no one here to suppress it, and with the ferocity of the Xianbei people, it is very likely that they will make trouble. ”

"As far as we know, it's not." Jiang Xi hesitated again.

Yang Yuan saw his scruples and said: "The battlefield military situation is inherently difficult to be accurate, and deviations are inevitable, we are also here to investigate temporarily, what news can you find, it is not easy, after all, strictly calculated, it should have been a spy controlled by Su Liao, first operate clearly in it, and continue to provide information, it should not be the scouts in our army to act on behalf of the people, and now the time is still too tight, and suddenly decided to attack Daibei, you just say it, if there is really any problem, it is also the responsibility of the person who made the decision!" We still have this responsibility. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!" Jiang Xi arched his hand, he still remembered that this Mr. Yang Yuan never admitted that he was a general, so when addressing the other party, Jiang Xi was extra careful.

Now, having received the promise of exemption, Jiang Xi was relieved, so he simply talked about the information he had obtained through what he had heard-

"On the grassland to the north of this camp, about seven or eight miles away, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed, and these 30,000 people are the soldiers and horses left behind by Duan Wenyang;"

"It is said that there were still more than 30,000 people, but there were some scattered small tribes that were collected along the way, and after Duan Wenyang left with a part, these small tribes seized the opportunity to leave, so they fled about 1,000 people before and after;"

"However, their own combat strength is average, and among the remaining 30,000 people, at least 20,000 are soldiers and horses of the Duan Division's headquarters, even if they are not Duan Wenyang's descendants, but they have also experienced many major battles."

Listening to Jiang Xi's report, Yang Song suddenly asked, "Since these people are a few miles away to the north, which side of the people did Wang Quan lead people to stop?" Could it be Tuoba Xianbei? ”

"It's not the Tuoba Department," Jiang Xi said a name that surprised the two, "It's someone from the Murong Department!" I heard that they came to support our Daijun. ”

"Murong Ministry?"

Yang Song and Yang Yuan glanced at each other, they both thought of the previous rumors, and they had their own ideas, but they knew that now was not the time to pursue it.

"How?" Yang Song became excited, "If it's not a trap, then wouldn't it be the time of emptiness?" ”

"It's about to be raided!" Yang Yuan sneered, "But you have to consider the soldiers and horses a few miles away, so you have to make a big move!" Take it down quickly! Don't give them a chance! ”

"I'll lead the troops to rush through!" Yang Song turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Yang Yuan stopped him.

Yang Yuan's eyes flashed with coldness, highlighting three words.

"Surrender first!"
