After the chick's head emerges from the eggshell, it jumps out of the eggshell with all its might, twisting its little head and half-opening its eyelids.

When Qin Feng's face appeared in its line of sight, its eyes that were originally half-open and half-closed quickly all opened.

Qin Feng looked at the little guy, and when he saw the gray feathers on his body, he couldn't help but say, "Little guy, seeing that you are all gray, why don't you just call you Little Gray Gray?" ”

"Mia-" The little guy let out a crisp cry, and suddenly pecked Qin Feng's thumb on the fish.

"Hiss-" Qin Feng grinned in pain, and when he looked again, a blood hole had appeared in the place where the little guy had pecked, and it was drinking blood.

"it!" Qin Feng scolded.

Fortunately, the little guy only took three sips, and then kept rubbing Qin Feng's palm with his little head, closing his eyes and enjoying it.

"Uh······ Wouldn't that be a confession of the Lord? Qin Feng muttered suspiciously.

After a while, the little creature staggered to his feet, turned around and pecked at the eggshell with his beak.

"Eggshell eating? I've never heard of it! No wonder Wang Xiaoer said that Heifeng feeds on Jintieshan Stone, and this little guy also eats its eggshell, it seems that this is true! ”

Little Gray didn't finish eating the eggshell, he only ate half of it and stopped eating, and fell asleep in Qin Feng's palm.

"This ······" Qin Feng scratched his cheeks, how can this be done? He remembered that when Shen Cheng died, he asked for a animal skin bag that seemed to be for black wind, and it happened that the thing was still there, and when he went back, he would hang the bag on his body, and let the little gray ash be put into the animal skin bag in the future.

Escorting the captives back to the city, Qin Feng ordered Juniper to reorganize the thousand bandits who surrendered, or according to the previous method.

"Come on, go find that Guo Tong!"

"No!" The guard at the gate said yes and immediately ran out.

It didn't take long for the bird trainer Guo Tong to walk in.

"The villain meets the captain!"

Qin Feng took out the small gray ash from the animal skin bag on his waist, "Guo Tong, look! ”

Little Gray Ash woke up from his sleep, very unhappy, opened his eyes and glanced at Qin Feng, as if he felt that there were still people around, turned his head and glanced at Guo Tong again, and saw that there was a stranger, it immediately became different, and the feathers that had just grown on his body exploded on the spot, like a hedgehog.

Its originally lazy eyes immediately became ferocious, and bursts of cold light emitted when it stared at Guo Tong.

"This ······ Is it? While Guo Tong was puzzled, there was a faint expectation on his face.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's right, it was hatched from that egg, I called him Little Gray Ash, how about it, this name is good, right?" ”

Little Ash? The corners of Guo Tong's mouth twitched, wanting to despise it strongly but he didn't dare, he then became excited, and both of them stared at the little gray ash brightly, muttering to himself: "Divine object, divine object, it is more handsome than Black Wind, and it ······ It seems to be a male bird! ”

Qin Feng asked, "Is there a difference between a female bird and a male bird?" ”

"Absolutely! The male is a lap smaller than the female, but he is more ferocious and agile! Captain, this bird must be trained well, and it must not be delayed, otherwise it would be a pity if such a divine object was delayed because it was not trained legally! Guo Tong said.

"How do you train that?"

"The villain is willing to do the work of dogs and horses! However, to train such a divine object, it must be done by the captain himself, because it is a bird that recognizes the Lord, and it will not listen to others at all, and the villain can be on the side at any time to guide! ”

"That's good, I'll give you an official position as a bird trainer, and you can receive a monthly salary, which is the same as the tun chief for the time being!"

Guo Tong was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Captain, the villain must do his best!" ”

Early the next morning, Qin Feng was practicing his sword technique in the backyard of the county government after practicing his qi, and a soldier walked in quickly to report: "Captain Qiyu, the messenger sent by the new Cai Yang Changshi is here!" ”

Qin Feng put away his knife and shouted, "Let the messenger in!" ”

"No!"

After a while, a messenger hurriedly walked in to report: "I have seen Du Wei, Yang Changshi sent a villain to report to Du Wei, the six thousand guards and private soldiers of various families and landlords in Runan have all arrived in Xincai, and they also brought the money, grain and gold and iron ore supported by various families and landlords, Yang Changshi asked Du Wei to return to Xincai as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, you go down to rest first!" ”

"No!"

The matter cannot be delayed, and the 6,000 guards and private soldiers contributed by the various clans and landlords in Runan are a very unstable factor, and they must be reorganized into an army as soon as possible.

He immediately called Juniper and asked him to stay in Yuanlu County to reorganize these mountain bandits who had just surrendered, and he took 600 cavalry and 600 young men who had already been reorganized to rush back to Xincai as quickly as possible.

This return to Xincai took a full day, from the morning to the moon rise at night.

After settling the team, Qin Feng returned to the county office, and Yang Hong hurriedly greeted him: "The lord is back, if you don't come back, this Xin Cai will soon be in chaos!" ”。

Qin Feng frowned, "What's the matter, there are still people who want to rebel and can't succeed?" ”

Yang Hongdao: "It's not the guards and private soldiers sent by those families and landlords, they don't belong to each other, no one obeys anyone, the leading group of people eat and drink in the restaurant in the city every day without paying, and they are still fighting in the green building to fight jealously, their subordinates are causing trouble everywhere in the city, and Captain Huang led the troops several times to barely calm down the situation!" ”

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

After entering the county office, a maid sent tea and snacks, Qin Feng asked people to prepare wine and meat to eat, and he and Yang Hong talked while eating.

After quietly listening to Yang Hong's account of the arrival of the six thousand guards, Qin Feng asked, "Is there any other news?" ”

Yang Hong put down his chopsticks and immediately said: "According to the report of Captain Lu, suspicious people have been found in the cities under our control recently, it seems to be spies, I thought it should be sent by Li Tong, the governor of Runan Taishou Mansion or Yang'an, the purpose is to find out the news, these spies are very slippery, Captain Lu led people to arrest several times, only one person was caught, after interrogation, it was indeed sent by Li Tong!" ”

"There is another thing, it was from the business travelers in Jingzhou to come here, from the end of last year to the spring, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Fan, Sun Quan and others to attack Jiangxia, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu led the army to meet the battle, and the two sides confronted each other in Shaxian!"

Subsequently, Liu Biao sent his nephew Liu Hu and deputy general Han Xi to lead 5,000 spearmen to support Huang Zu, the two sides fought several battles in Shaxian, Han Xi was killed on the spot, Huang Zu was defeated, and fled back to Xiling alone, drowning more than 10,000 people, almost the whole army was wiped out! Then Sun Ce ordered Zhou Yu to guard Shaxian and prepare to attack Yuzhang himself! ”

After hearing these news, Qin Feng thought in his mind, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and the like had no threat to him for the time being, and the biggest threat to him at present came from Li Tong.

"Sir, I'm afraid that we will soon be known by Li Tong, with the current combat strength of our army, we are by no means Li Tong's opponent, we need time, what we lack most now is time, we must find a way to delay Li Tong, at least give me three months, I don't know if Mr. has a way?"

Yang Hong touched his beard, thought for a moment and said, "There are two methods available!" ”

Qin Feng hurriedly said, "Sir, say it quickly!" ”

Yang Hong said: "First, find Yuan Li to do this, most of the officialdom in Runan are the protégés of the Yuan family, even if they are not, they are also the children of other families, if Li Tong can temporarily cut off the supply of grain and grass before Li Tong sends troops to our military, Li Tong will not be able to pull out!" ”

"Second, send someone to Nanyang to see Zhang Xiu and ask him to send troops to garrison the border!"

Qin Feng thought about it, there are only two ways at present, and there is nowhere to find other people to help, he immediately said; "Then please ask Mr. to go to Yuan Li to discuss this matter, this matter must be handled quickly and without delay! As for sending someone to contact Zhang Xiu, I'll arrange it! ”

"No!"

After Yang Hong left, Qin Feng immediately sent someone to select one person from among the scribes recruited in the Zhaoxian Pavilion these days.

This person's name is Zhong Du, it is a local poor family in Runan, and he has experienced many filial piety and incorruptibility, and he is a little disheartened.

"Ming Kuan, I called you here today to have a confidential matter for you to do!" Qin Feng said to Zhong Du.

Zhong Du said: "Please also make it public, and you will not give up!" ”

This kind of angry youth is just a fool!

Qin Feng said: "I want to send you to Nanyang to see Zhang Xiu and persuade him to send troops to the east to settle in the Wuyin area, I don't know if you dare?" ”

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up!"

Seeing that he was so resolute, Qin Feng asked, "I wonder if you have persuaded me to Zhang Xiu?" ”

Zhong Du said: "Lord, now our army and Zhang Xiu are dead lips and teeth, Zhang Xiu rebelled against Cao Cao, Cao Cao will inevitably raise troops to attack, if Zhang Xiu makes our army big, Cao Cao will distract his energy to deal with our army, isn't this a good thing for Zhang Xiu?" ”

"Moreover, Cao Cao has a hatred for Zhang Xiu, how can he be reconciled with Cao Cao, and now our army is willing to fight against Cao Cao with him, how can he not want to?"

Qin Feng was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, and said, "Zhang Xiu doesn't know the strength of our army, how can he trust you?" ”

Zhong Du opened his mouth and came: "Our army has incorporated several rebels and mountain bandits in Runan, and it has been funded by local families and landlords, with as many as 50,000 troops, and it only needs to be practiced for a few months before it can fight!" ”

uh······ This kid can really blow it, but ······ Seems doable!

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Good, you go back and pack up, and I will see you off early tomorrow morning!" ”

Early the next morning, Qin Feng sent Zhong Du to Sanli Pavilion outside the city, and put a bag of belongings in his hand, "Ming Kuan is going to be more attentive, these belongings are given to you for entanglement and opening up joints, there is no need to save, if this matter can be successful, when you return to report quickly, I should ask for credit for you!" ”

"Don't worry, please wait for the good news!"

Xu Du.

In the early morning, the pavilion attic was revealed in the morning mist, and the birds landed on the white jade guardrail and chirped.

The melodious bell rang, the palace gate opened, and the ministers flicked their sleeves and entered in two columns in turn.
