"Is there such a thing?" When Chen Wenzhou heard this, he was annoyed, "How many people are there? ”

Hao Tingyu replied: "There are dozens of people scattered around, all of them are blocked outside the city gate." ”

"Take me to see it!"

The three of them immediately went out of the Chinese army and rushed to the head of the city, Chen Wenzhou looked down, and sure enough, he saw dozens of homeless people at the gate of Mayi City, who were waiting for it, asking the guards to open the city gate.

Chen Wenzhou thought about it for a while, and said to Hao Tingyu: "Brother Hao, you go and invite General Chen!" ”

Then he said to Zhang Chunfan, "Lord Zhang, please arrange a spacious place to prepare for the homeless." ”

"Yes!" The two received orders and acted separately.

After a while, Guo Chen, Hao Tingyu and Zhang Chunfan hurried to the city.

Guo Chen took the lead in asking, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chen Wenzhou looked at the homeless people under the city and said in a deep voice: "General, I mean, no matter what, let's contain these homeless people first." ”

Guo Chen pondered for a moment and nodded.

Seeing that Guo Chen agreed, Chen Wenzhou said to Zhang Chunfan: "Lord Zhang, have the places been arranged?" ”

Zhang Chunfan nodded, and then said: "Xiaguan has already arranged it, just in the east of the city, there is a courtyard dam, which is very spacious and can accommodate many people." ”

"Good!" Chen Wenzhou instructed: "Brother Hao, you are responsible for checking the displaced people entering the city to prevent the rebels' probe horses from mixing inside, Lord Zhang, you are responsible for arranging the displaced people!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them took the order.

Then Chen Wenzhou said to Guo Chen: "General, let's gather the generals to discuss matters, right?" ”

Guo Chen nodded, and ordered the guards to beat the drums and gather the generals to discuss the military situation.

When everyone arrived, Chen Wenzhou recounted the situation of the refugees fleeing to Mayi City.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

Li Riyue said: "I didn't expect that Xulian Yan really came with such a hand!" It's hard to deal with! ”

Li Baoyu nodded and said: "General Riyue is right, this trick of Xulian Yan is not poisonous, first, she can collect grain and grass to ensure the supply of food, and secondly, she creates panic, so that the nearby homeless people have to run to Mayi, increasing our food burden, which is equivalent to consuming us!" ”

Chen Wenzhou also nodded and said: "The real purpose of Xulian Yan is here, she used the method of pulling Zhuang Ding to create panic, and the people had to run to Mayi to take refuge!" ”

Chen Wenzhou's face turned serious, "The displaced people are still coming, what I am most worried about is that there are too many displaced people, all of them are pouring into Mayi, which is not a small burden for us!" ”

At this time, Guo Chen said: "It's not a way for us to blindly accept refugees after all, this is just an expedient measure, and the top priority at the moment is to eliminate the Xulian Zhen, so that she can't make waves anymore!" ”

All the generals nodded.

Chen Wenzhou pondered for a while, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, but the current situation couldn't help him think about it anymore, so he nodded and said: "This can only be the case now!" ”

Chen Wenzhou turned to Guo Chen and said: "General, according to the opinion of the next, it is better to send two soldiers and horses out first, one is led by General Riyue to attack Zhangshui Pavilion and find out the truth, and the other is led by General Baoyu to intercept the rebels in nearby villages!" ”

Guo Chen asked, "Will it be too little?" ”

Chen Wenzhou shook his head and said, "I don't think so." The rebels now have a total of more than 3,000 people, and Xulian Yan Na must really have to divide his forces to guard the Zhangshui Pavilion, so I don't expect that there will be too many people and horses she sent out to loot, after all, if she loses the Zhangshui Pavilion, she will have no place to stay! ”

Guo Chen nodded, so he issued a combat order according to Chen Wenzhou's suggestion!

Chen Wenzhou advised: "This time let the two of you go, because the two of you are calm and have a steady temperament, remember, this trip is mainly to investigate the situation, and you will only fight if you have an absolute advantage, and if you don't have an absolute advantage, you will temporarily avoid the edge and return to the city!" Let's think long-term! ”

"The last general obeys!" Li Baoyu and Li Riyue each led 2,000 men and horses out of the city.

Chen Wenzhou and Guo Chen came to the city gate.

"Brother Hao, but so far, how many homeless people are there?" Chen Wenzhou asked.

Hao Tingyu frowned and said, "I'm afraid there are not less than one or two hundred people!" ”

"So much?" When Guo Chen heard this number, he also frowned.

"Have you carefully checked the identities of these people?" Chen Wenzhou asked.

Hao Tingyu said: "It's all checked, and a small number of people still have identity documents, but most of the rest of the people escaped in a hurry, and their lives are gone, who can take care of that thing?" ”

When Chen Wenzhou heard this, his eyebrows shrank!

"Are these people men or women, old or young?" He hurriedly asked.

Hao Tingyu recalled and said: "There are men, women, old and young. ”

"Are there any men in the prime of life?"

Hao Tingyu nodded and said, "Yes, these people all escaped to avoid the draw." What's wrong, Sima? ”

Chen Wenzhou smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll ask." By the way, Brother Hao, don't keep the city gate open, only open the city gate once in a while, and release scouts on the periphery to prevent the rebels from taking the opportunity to attack the city! ”

Hao Tingyu smiled: "Don't worry, Sima, I still know this, hahaha." ”

Chen Wenzhou nodded, and returned to the Chinese army with Guo Chen.

"General, I'm afraid things are not simple!" Chen Wenzhou said with a solemn face.

Guo Chen saw that Chen Wenzhou rarely had such a look, so he asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Wenzhou patted his head vigorously and said hurriedly: "I still can't tell what's wrong now, because I always feel that I have neglected a certain detail!" ”

Guo Chen heard it in a fog and asked, "You mean the matter of the homeless?" ”

Chen Wenzhou nodded, shook his head again, and Guo Chen was puzzled, Chen Wenzhou said: "Alas, I always feel that someone has been tricked!" ”

Guo Chen saw that Chen Wenzhou racked his brains and didn't want to come out, so he comforted: "Could it be that you are thinking too much?" ”

Chen Wenzhou smiled bitterly: "It's also possible, maybe it's because of malnutrition recently, and I'm in a trance." ”

Chen Kongming secretly wondered, it is estimated that he has hallucinated and imagined due to excessive use of his brain recently.

Seeing this, you should quickly drink a few pots of horse urine to supplement your nutrition, so as not to treat it in time, and then it will develop to the point of going crazy and even falling off the eggs on their own, which will be very bad.

Chen Wenzhou woke up and said, "For now, let's wait for news from Li Baoyu and Li Riyue." ”

Guo Chen nodded.

Chen Wenzhou simply didn't go back, so he stayed here with Guo Chen and waited for news.

After about three hours, the sentry rushed in three steps and two steps, "General! Sima! The two generals are back! It's at the city gate! ”
