From the afternoon of that day to the next morning, Zheng Wanyi personally dealt with these returnees.

They were placed outside the city, watched by well-armed Imperial Guards, in case of ***.

Shen Yunfan went directly to Wang Tong after they returned to the city, but the kid had long since disappeared, and it was said that he learned that Ya Ling had been arrested, so he ran away.

In order to find out the conspiracy of the two, Xu *** went to interrogate the Ya Ling.

However, the Ya Ling's mouth was very strict, and the last bite insisted that they had a personal vendetta with Taishou, so they killed people because of revenge. At this point, Taishou's bloody case seems to have been solved.

But Shen Yunfan felt that things were not so simple, so he sent the Five Ways Ghost to continue to interrogate the order.

Di Xingchang was dissatisfied: "I have personally gone to the trial, you still don't believe in this result? In the entire Southern Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid no one can judge better than me!"

The previous result was judged by Di Xingchang. The reason why he is so active is also to make up for his mistakes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yunfan didn't believe the results of his interrogation at all. Di Xingchang, who was already unhappy, was naturally even more dissatisfied.

As a result, it didn't take long for the people of the five ghosts to return.

"Master, the trial has come out. That Ya Ling and Wang Tong colluded with the barbarians, and not long ago they wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the capital to jointly occupy Jiaozhou as the king."

"But Taishou is an upright person and refuses to go along with it, that's why they kill Taishou. Wang Tong escaped, and he also ran to the realm of the barbarians."

After all, the people of the Five Ways Ghost were personally cultivated by Liu Cheng, and their interrogation methods were far more comparable to others. Therefore, the Ya Ling has not told the truth until now.

"Not bad." Shen Yunfan threw a silver ingot to the five-way ghost, and then looked at Di Xingchang next to him.

Di Xingchang just wanted to find a crack in the ground for a while, damn, why hasn't everything been going well recently? Even the interrogation can't judge others?

Shen Yunfan ignored him, just got up and went to find Hu Chun and Xie Min to tell Wang Tong's plan.

After hearing this, the faces of the two changed greatly: "I didn't expect them to dare to be so rebellious?"

"Betraying the imperial court, it should be connected to the nine clans!"

Shen Yunfan muttered: "Now that Jiaozhou is too guarded to death, the state has fled, the government has ordered him to be imprisoned, and Jiaozhou has no one to manage it. Lord Xie, can you be competent to act as the Taishou and handle the political affairs of Jiaozhou?"

Although Xie Min didn't trust Shen Yunfan at first, he himself was a loyal minister. Yesterday, he saw Shen Yunfan pacify the bandits, and he was a little more convinced of Shen Yunfan.

So he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will manage the affairs of the state!"

"Okay, then I'll take military affairs seriously."

Hu Chun was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean? Is there going to be a war?"

"That Wang Tong has been colluding with the barbarians for a long time and wants to be the little king of Jiaozhou." Shen Yunfan groaned, "Let me ask you, if it were you, would you be willing to give up this plan?"

"If you give up, you will never turn over...... If you want me, you won't give up." Hu Chun said seriously.

"Yes, Wang Tong will not give up. Now that he has nothing, he naturally has to fight for the last hand. You have been fighting against the barbarians for many years, how much do you know about the barbarians?"

"There's a lot of information, I'll get it for you!" Hu Chun went out, and after a while, he came back with some military aircraft files.

Shen Yunfan took a look, and most of the content on it was the battle reports of previous years.

Jiaozhou City was originally a military city built to defend against barbarians, so it was built on the west side of Jiaozhou, almost at the position of the front line.

The garrison of Jiaozhou, a total of 15,000 people, lined up in the north and south with Jiaozhou City as the core, were stationed in various counties and villages on the western border.

Over the years since the city was founded, they have fought with barbarians more than 300 times, large and small, and they have won and lost each other.

Among them, the largest battle took place this year, shortly before Shen Yunfan was released from prison.

At that time, the first emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty died, the country was unstable, and the barbarians took advantage of the situation to attack on a large scale, and almost all their troops were charged. In that battle, the Jiaozhou side also received information that the entire barbarian army should have about 8,000 people.

This number is much less than the Jiaozhou defenders, but the problem is that the Jiaozhou defenders can only hold and cannot really fight

Win.

First, the barbarian invasion and plunder are very flexible, often attacking the east and the west, and fighting on multiple fronts. Therefore, the defenders of Jiaozhou must disperse their forces to hold the whole territory, resulting in a relatively small number of troops in each place.

Second, even if the defenders of Jiaozhou repelled the barbarians, they would not be able to pursue. Because the huge western mountain forest is the best shelter for the barbarians. Even if they are defeated, they will not be wiped out as long as they drill into the woods.

Therefore, the situation of the Jiaozhou defenders is very passive, and they can only defend but not attack.

After reading the battle report, Shen Yunfan's expression was solemn.

Hu Chun said: "Now that Wang Tong is the internal response, the barbarians must have a clearer understanding of the entire territory of Jiaozhou. When the time comes, their attacks will be even more unpredictable!"

"Well, our eyes are black, and we still know too little about the enemy."

"Why don't we wait for our work and stick to it with all our might?"

"Can you keep it for a lifetime?" Shen Yunfan smiled, "Since I'm here, then completely eliminate this scourge for Southern Wei. Fight with one punch, lest a hundred blows come."

"This ......" Hu Chun and Xie Min glanced at each other, thinking that this Lord Qincha was too crazy.

The barbarian problem that was not solved at the beginning of the founding of the country can be solved when he comes to the court official?

It's a bit of a fantasy.

Xie Min persuaded, "Lord Qincha, the barbarians are no better than bandits. The bandits can still be recruited, but the barbarians are brave and ruthless, and they are extremely difficult to deal with. What's more, there is a saying in the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, we know too little about the barbarians!"

"We don't know much about barbarians, but we know a lot about Wang Tong." Shen Yunfan pondered for a moment, "My father once said that when I didn't know what the enemy would do, I imagined myself as the enemy."

"If I were Wang Tong, how would I attack Jiaozhou? Will you concentrate your forces and finish your work in one battle, or will you act slowly and encroach on Jiaozhou?"

After a moment, his eyes snapped open.

"I see!"
