When Li Yanzhao heard Wang Bin's narration, he picked up a pen and wrote quickly on paper.

"The prince of the government and the governor of thousands of people: On the morning of the fifth day of the first month of the tenth year of Jianxing, our cavalry was ordered to go out to the sentry to ride. Cross the river fifty miles deep. Seeing Taoshui, Chen An's department raised tens of thousands of people from Diqiang, and camped more than ten miles in Taoshui. The detectives and cavalry found out, recruited the people of Diqiang, and camped alone in Taoshui. There was no change in Jincheng County. ——Li Yanzhao, the commander of the 100 cavalry. ”

After Li Yanzhao finished writing this military newspaper, he thought about it and copied another copy. Then he rolled up the two military newspapers, took them in his hands, and went out of the tent to the big tent of Du Jie, the governor of the thousand people.

When Li Yanzhao arrived outside the tent, he asked the sergeant on duty to enter the tent to report, and he waited outside. After a short time, the sergeant who reported the report came out of the account and invited him in. So he stepped forward and lifted the curtain and entered into the tent of the thousand governors.

I saw that inside the big tent, the thousand-man governor and several battalion squadrons led officers and assistants were surrounding the first few cases. Li Yanzhao stepped forward, but he also saw a few cases, and the thousand governors were holding a bowl in their hands, presumably there were dice in the bowl. Seeing this, Li Yanzhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"It's on!" A team leader kneeling next to several cases urged a thousand people to supervise the way. But Du Jie was not in a hurry or annoyed, pressing the bowl in front of him with his right hand as steadily as Mount Tai, and then asked, "Is there anything else to bet?" ”

Seeing that everyone around him shook their heads, Du Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and then grabbed the bowl with his right hand and took it away. The officials beside him were all in mourning.

"Small! I already knew to bet more! ”

"Hey. I said earlier that I would let you bet more, but all of them were donkeys, so they didn't listen. ”

"Donkey balls! Song Fatty, you let us bet more, why don't you bet more? ”

Du Jie threw the dozen copper coins in front of him into the middle of several cases, and said, "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about?" You took the money and divided it. Let's do it again. As he spoke, he put the bowl on the dice on the table and opened another plate.

Li Yanzhao, who felt that he had become a transparent person in an instant, was unwilling to be lonely, and decided to brush up on a wave of existence. He stepped forward and stood in front of a few cases, and then took the paper scroll in his hand and hugged his fist at Du Jie after a few cases and said: "Governor of a thousand people, subordinate Li Yanzhao, there is an urgent military report." ”

Hearing that Li Yanzhao next to him jumped out and said that he wanted to report the military situation, a group of officials who were gathered around several cases got up. Among them, Song Xiaohu was quick-eyed, grabbed the dozen copper coins that Fang Cai Qianren Governor threw in the middle of several cases, got up and walked out of the tent, followed by a vote of officials, squeezing Song Xiaohu, and quietly giving him a few clicks in the open.

Song Xiaohu was beaten as he walked, and told him again and again: "Uncle, uncle, let's divide this money out of the account, and then divide it out of the account, no one is indispensable...... Hey, who stepped on the horse and kicked Lao Tzu's ass, oops......"

When the sound of these old oilmen making trouble came out and gradually spread far away, Du Jie looked up at Li Yanzhao and said, "Li Bairen said that there is an urgent military situation, but he reported it." He stretched out his stubby fingers and rubbed his temples vigorously. Presumably, this gang of old oilmen made a fuss in his account, which also gave this thousand-person governor a headache.

It's not okay not to be accepted. These old oilers all have a bit of family background. Fathers, uncles, and the like, which are in Guzang Prefecture, are all characters who stomp their feet and the earth trembles. is a small thousand governors, and it is not enough to pinch for others. Who knows if they throw their faces at these uncles, will they have any cautious eyes to secretly wear their own small shoes.

Seeing that these uncles have stopped. Li Yanzhao, the evil star in the camp, came to him again to report the "critical military situation". Mother's year is not to let yourself have a good life? However, since it is said to be "critical military situation", presumably this Li Bairen commander does not dare to speak. After all, although this evil star is a little reckless, he is unambiguous in major matters.

Du Jie didn't dare to offend those second ancestors in the camp, let alone ignore the military situation. The former is a little easier to say. Offending those uncles is nothing more than bad luck in the future. However, delaying the emergency military situation, how many heads he has to cut off on this crime are not enough. He had no doubt that if this kind of thing happened, he, the head of the county soldiers, would not hesitate to be pulled out as a scapegoat, and the chicken in the monkey to kill the chicken.

Du Jie, who was a little tired, took the volume of military intelligence report handed over by Li Yanzhao. After unfolding it, I found that the top and bottom were upside down, and I turned my hands to straighten it, and then looked at it carefully.

After reading the report, Du Jie's face changed slightly. He held his head in his right hand and thought for a moment, and then asked Li Yanzhao: "What is the purpose of Chen An's department?" Hear from you. ”

"The last general thought that Chen An's department recruited and sent the people of Diqiang with the intention of attacking Zhao."

"Attack Zhao? Wouldn't Chen An attack the cold? Du Jie patted the table lightly and said lightly.

"The last general rode across the river from Jincheng and went deep into the hinterland of Chen An for more than 50 miles, but I saw the people gathered on the banks of Taoshui, but there was no sign of troops stationed in Jincheng."

"If Chen An wants to attack Liang, he will inevitably use Jincheng as a springboard, gather an army, and hoard grain and grass. Bide one's time. Looking at its behavior now, it is just that the people who raised and sent the Qiang were hoarding in Taoshui, and they must not be cold. Our department can send more sentry cavalry to the detectives, and if Chen An's troops pull out the camp and advance eastward soon, they will inevitably attack Zhao. ”

After listening to Li Yanzhao's reasonable analysis, Du Jie, who sat behind the first few cases, nodded: "Chen Anai is the general of the former Nanyang Wang Bao's subordinates. The marching array is all old, and if it attacks the cold, it will never be stationed on the bank of Taoshui. In the sixth and seventh years of Jianxing, the envoy sent Wuwei Dou Taishou and Taifu Han Sima twice to support the king of Nanyang and repel the rebellious Chen Anbu. Chen An fled twice, and had no intention of confronting our army. ”

"Therefore, this governor also thinks that Chen An's recruitment of the people of Diqiang is intended to attack Zhao!" Du Jie made his own judgment.

"However, even if Chen An attacks Zhao, we must not let our guard down." Du Jie ordered very calmly: "In order to be prepared, there is no trouble, and the soldiers are ordered to stop their vacations and return to their places." Many sentinels were sent to cross the river to investigate, and you yourself led it. ”

"Someone!" Du Jie shouted.

A soldier on duty entered the tent as he was told, clenching his fists and knocking on the ground.

"Pass my order, and the soldiers on leave will return to the camp immediately. Alternate non-commissioned officers stopped taking leave and strengthened their vigilance. Ordered the scribe and Pang Sima to go to the arsenal to count and inspect the armament. ”

When the order was given, the soldier clenched his fists and received the order, then turned and went out of the tent, and ran everywhere to give the order.

Du Jie sat down, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then sharpened the ink, then spread out a piece of paper, moistened the pen, and then wrote on the paper.

Li Yanzhao carefully observed the handwriting of Du Jie, the thousand-person governor, and felt that it was much better than Ma Duwei's writing. Although the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the pen is strong, the size of the words written is moderate, and there is a kind of murderous aura from the pen and ink.

Soon, Du Jie finished writing the report in his hand, and then, together with Li Yanzhao's report, put it into the wooden cylinder that transmitted the military information, carefully took the two seals, and wrote "The Mansion Monarch personally opened" before carefully pasting it to the seal of the wooden cylinder.

After sealing the wooden tube, Du Jie called another sergeant on duty outside the tent, handed the wooden tube to him, and instructed him to send it to the county government immediately. The soldier clenched his fists and took the order.

Seeing this, Li Yanzhao also saluted Du Jie goodbye, and said that he would personally lead a group of sentinels to cross the river to investigate. He also asked the governor of 1,000 people to allocate weapons and armor with his own department, and allocate some more military resources such as bows, crossbows, arrows, etc. After a little consideration, Du Jie retrieved a piece of paper, listed all the military resources requested by Li Yanzhao on it, ordered the treasurer to allocate them, and stamped his official seal.

Li Yanzhao took the warrant from the Thousand Governors, said goodbye to the account, and then picked up the warrant while walking and looked at it carefully.

"Ordered the treasurer of Sun in the army, and when he saw the order, he and the cavalry Li Bairen were the commanders, and the military resources of the arsenal were handed over: 20 iron armors, 20 iron helmets, 20 round cards, 10 hard bows of one stone, 200 additional arrows, and the rest of the military resources, which were allowed to be used cheaply."

Iron armor is a rare thing, he was locked up in the arsenal for six days before, and Li Yanzhao knows it well. Now there are only forty or fifty iron armor in the arsenal. Thinking about Du Jie, he was also generous, and with a wave of his hand, he allocated twenty collars to himself. There are also bows, arrows, shields, etc., which I asked for perfection, and I also gave a lot of them with a stroke of the pen. Presumably, Du Jie, the governor of these thousand people, also attaches great importance to the upcoming sentinel reconnaissance led by his troops.

It's right to think about it, after all, Du Jie has already explained that for Chen An, a restless neighbor, he will strive to be prepared. In this way, the task of crossing the river to scout is particularly important. This is also the reason why Du Mingyan made Li Yanzhao personally lead his troops to go.
