Nanyang County and Bohai County are the old nest of the Yuan family, not only the military and political officials of these two counties have always been controlled by the children of the Yuan family and the protégés of the Yuan family, but also the fort outside the city is not inferior to the county seat.

Hedong is the nest of the Wei family.

His ancestor is Wei Qing, a famous general who took the initiative to attack the northern nomads in history! In terms of contributions to the country and the nation, its historical status should be above that of Meng Tian, Li Mu, and Li Guang.

Wei Qing was originally a native of Pingyang, Hedong, and because of his meritorious service to the general, he married Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister of Emperor Wu, and his sister was Empress Wei Zifu, who was illustrious! And since Wei Qing, Wei Yan, Wei Budo, Wei Deng, Huo Quzhi and Huo Huan, one door and five marquis, you are shocking the world.

Therefore, the accumulation of the Hedong Wei family is not weaker than the Yuan family at all!

It's a pity that today's Wei family is no longer the backbone of the Han world to resist foreign races, and has degenerated into a cancer that only has family interests, crazy annexation of land, and plundering wealth.

In "The Princes of the World", although the officials in the system city may be controlled by a certain family for a long time, after all, they are iron-clad officials. Nominally, the appointment of officials above the county order still has to be appointed by the imperial court and even the emperor.

In the struggle between the family, relatives, and eunuchs, neither side was sure to hold the center for a long time and get close to the emperor, so it became the best choice to establish a dock fort outside the city that was completely maintained by the family.

And these dock forts are the bottom line that all parties are unwilling to break through in the political struggle, even if the winner puts the loser to death, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, they often will not touch these dock forts.

Therefore, the operation of the dock fort has become the core task of the operation of these illustrious families and officials, and it is also the foundation and foundation to ensure the prosperity of their families. Dock forts often cover an area of hundreds of square kilometers, not only with towering city walls, luxurious mansions, and mountains of money and grain, but also as a base for family reproduction, education, management, armed forces, processing factories, and trade logistics.

If you want to compare the family to a peach tree, it can be said that the family has been inherited for hundreds of years, how many people in the family have been in the family, and whether they are in a high position, but they are just pink peach blossoms, although brilliant but short-lived; As long as the Dock Fort is still there, the heritage and the family are still there, it can create a steady stream of wealth, talents, and officials, and bloom season after season of peach blossoms.

And once the dock fort is gone, the foundation and foundation will be destroyed, and the once glorious family will naturally pass away with the wind, let the rain blow away!

And what Ye Teng is going to do today is to dig up the foundation of the Yuan and Wei families.

Outside Pingyang County, Hedong County.

The location of the Wei family's dock fort is known to all ages!

Dock Fort is actually a small city with strong defenses! Weijiawu Fort is located in the north of Pingyang County more than 50 miles, east of the main road, northwest and south three sides are endless flat cultivated land, weekdays are all cultivated by the tenants in the Wubao fort, it is autumn at this time, look around, there are heavy ears of grain everywhere.

The towering wall is as high as the county seat, up to 9 meters. On weekdays, the four gates of the fort and the walls of the fort are guarded by private soldiers, and idle people are not allowed to come within 200 meters of the city wall, otherwise, they will be shot directly.

In the autumn afternoon, Ye Teng greeted the slanting sun, looking at the Wei family's dock fort from a distance, as well as the pedestrians entering and leaving, perhaps it was during the period when the Wei family's army was in battle, so the precautions and inspections were extremely strict. It was basically impossible to sneak into the dock fort in broad daylight, so Ye Teng decided to wait for the night to come back to find an opportunity, either climbing the wall or blending in and out of the dock fort.

After thinking clearly, Ye Teng found a hidden place in the field west of Wubao, patiently waited for the night to come, and observed the movement of the city from a distance.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the distant mountains are shrouded in twilight, like ink freehand. The torches at the head of the city were lit one after another, taking advantage of the night, Ye Teng used the cover of the crops to approach the head of the city twenty or thirty meters, and found that about every ten meters at the head of the city, a torch was lit.

In such a situation, even if Ye Teng had the strength of the peak of the heaven-level level, it was difficult to climb the city wall out of thin air, unless he could put on his wings and fly up, he would be discovered if he landed in the city with the help of a flying hook.

I had no choice but to go back to the east gate, hoping to find an opportunity to blend in with the crowd that came in and out at night.

The east gate is close to the main road, and the entry and exit of the dock fort basically depend on the east gate. In the other three gates, except for the farmers who returned from farming outside the city, from afternoon to evening, basically no one came in and out of them.

Far away, squatting in a tuft of grass outside the east gate, waiting slowly.

All night, no one entered the dock fort, and seeing the morning light white, I could only sigh that the night had been in vain.

Ye Teng changed a place, in the southeast corner of the dock fort, where he could observe the east gate and the south gate at the same time, and continued to squat.

Early in the morning, the east and south gates of the dock fort opened at the same time, and out of the south gate were the tenants of the Wei family, who began to carry farm tools to the fields. And the East Gate, the convoy that set off, may be going to Pingyang County to purchase, do business or something. The two city gates and the city head are heavily guarded, perhaps it is precisely because of such caution that the top Shijiawu Fort in the Han Dynasty can survive for a hundred years, right?

"At dusk, both the convoy and the tenants have to go back to Fort Dock, right? Should I blend in with the Dock Bunker, or into the convoy? The tenants will definitely have to go back today, and the convoy doesn't know how many days to return, so let's choose the tenants first. Ye Teng thought.

So, all afternoon, Ye Teng observed the tenants in the fields from afar on the southwest, north and south sides of the dock fort, preparing to find a person who was close to his height and appearance, knocked him out and threw him into the space, and then changed into his outfit and mixed in the tenants to return to the dock fort.

"Ah Sheng, your aunt-in-law is about to give birth, right?" A middle-aged farmer asked a young tenant. The harvest is hard, and occasionally they will take advantage of the water break to chat with each other.

"It's Uncle Chen, it's fast, but what's the use, it's also a life of suffering when you are born!" Ah Sheng, a young tenant, does not seem to have the joy of becoming a father soon. The children of tenants, no matter what, will still be tenants when they grow up, and they will always suffer with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky.

"That's no way, isn't everyone the same, as long as the family can be safe, clothed and fed, it's fine." Uncle Chen, a middle-aged farmer, said.

"Hmm." Ah Sheng nodded, picked up the scythe on the ground, and prepared to continue harvesting.

After observing the whole day, among hundreds of people, only this young tenant named Ah Sheng, both in height and appearance, looked a little similar to himself. So he lurked nearby, waiting for the right time to strike.

As the sun set, Ah Sheng took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to pack all the grain he had harvested all day into four sacks, and then prepared to pick it up with a wooden stick.

At this time, there were no more people around Ah Sheng, so Ye Teng was dressed as a farmer and swaggered towards Ah Sheng.

Because Ah Sheng kept his head down and was busy, he didn't find it until Ye Teng approached.

"Are you ......" Ah Sheng's doubts did not last, halfway through the questioning, he was knocked unconscious by Ye Teng and put into the space, and then Ye Teng was in the space, pretending to be ghostly to ask all the information about Ah Sheng's family, and then stunned him, changed into Ah Sheng's outfit, wiped two handfuls of mud on his face, picked up four sacks of grain, and walked towards Wubao.
