When Zhao Chen returned to the county office, it was already sunset.

There are lanterns hanging at the entrance of the county office, and there are still many cleaning subordinates busy inside.

People came in and out, there were many and miscellaneous, and Zhao Chen didn't bother to go in after taking a look.

It happened that Sun Qian ran out and saw Zhao Chen coming over to salute.

Zhao Chen asked: "Gongyou, it's been a day, why are there still so many people cleaning in the county office?" ”

Sun Qian smiled awkwardly: "The military adviser doesn't know, although Huaiyin County is a big county in Guangling, but the county government has not been used for a long time, and the officials who took office only know how to loot the people's fat and ointment, and do not know how to govern it, which leads to more and more chaos in Huaiyin's public security." The more chaotic it is, the more the county magistrate doesn't dare to go to court, and the more he doesn't go to court, the more chaotic it becomes, and over time, the county government becomes a deserted place, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. The outside of the county has also become a paradise for thieves, and countless people have been robbed. ”

Sun Qian pointed to the yamen sign hanging at the door and said, "It's this Huaiyin County yamen sign that I just found." ”

Zhao Chen really didn't expect that the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had been chaotic to such an extent.

The county does not become a county, and the government does not become a government.

That's why the three brothers of Zhang Jiao will aim at the opportunity to rebel.

The common people can't survive at all, there are robbers outside, there are no county officials inside, there is nowhere to rely on the law, there is nowhere to find reason, and the people don't know who to look for when they have something, so it's strange if it's not chaotic!

He clearly remembered the scene of Liu Bei leaving Pingyuan County in history when 10,000 people knelt down, and he could imagine how eager the people were to have a Ming official to govern one side.

Zhao Chen nodded helplessly.

Then Sun Qian led Zhao Chen to the small mansion arranged for him by Liu Bei.

The house is next to the county office, only one street away from the county office.

Although the house is small, it is a rare delicacy, it should be the yard of a large family, it is estimated that the later decline, and the house will be sold, or because of the war, the house was taken by which lord took a fancy and robbed it.

Anyway, this is now Zhao Chen's residence in Huaiyin.

Zhao Chen estimated that it would take several days to leave for Guangling County, so he gladly accepted it. Now that there is a city, the best way for the army is to be half stationed in the city, and half in the key places outside the city, which are horns of each other, and Zhao Chen himself does not have to sleep in the barracks all the time.

It is said that after this experience, the mother and daughter of the foot trainer had palpitations and hurriedly returned to the house located in the east of the city.

The house was rented by them, speaking of which, the Bu family used to be a big family in Jiangdong, but unfortunately the branch of the foot trainer's father was scattered relatively early, and then the family fell into the middle of the road, and everything that could be sold was sold, and even the old house of the family was mortgaged. The father of the foot trainer died relatively early, and now the mother and mother depend on each other, planting some fields and weaving some cloth for a living.

The mother and daughter ran into the room, quickly locked the door, and then gasped for breath for a long time.

"If I didn't have that military advisor today, I'm afraid I would have been kidnapped by those thieves."

"That's what my mother said."

Obviously, it was a meeting in Pingshui, and the scene of Zhao Chen protecting her in her arms in the mind of the step trainer somehow lingered, and she would unconsciously remember the sound of Zhao Chen's heavy breathing in her ear.

"Zhao Junshi is really powerful, he is a division of the first army at a young age."

The step trainer couldn't help but praise, and his face turned slightly red.

The mother seemed to notice the change in the foot trainer, and deliberately said: "Our mother and daughter are now living in a fixed place and are uncertain, if we can follow Zhao Junshi, maybe the future can be expected." ”

The foot trainer said shyly: "Mother, don't talk nonsense! ”

At the age of fifteen, such thoughts naturally could not escape her mother's eyes.

The two of them made a little food and went to sleep.

The foot trainer couldn't sleep at all, and his mind had already wandered to Zhao Chen.

That night, Zhao Chen lit a candle, opened the window and looked at the sky, thinking about the future. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door.

"Strategist, Master Jane asks to see you."

What is Jian Yong doing so late?

Zhao Chen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly invited Jian Yong to the small living room next door.

As soon as the two met, Jian Yong said directly: "Strategist, something is wrong!" ”

"Xianhe is panicking, say slowly."

"Because Huaiyin has just experienced a big war, many houses are broken, people are displaced, and there are many displaced people from other places, who were originally outside the city, such as today, when it is dark, they all want to enter the city. But ......"

Speaking of which, Zhao Chen can be regarded as understanding.

"Judging from the time, the city gate should have been closed at this time, and the outcasts must open the city gate if they want to enter, and it is very easy to blend in with the spies. Moreover, when entering the city at this time, the rent in the city is not enough for those displaced people to live. If these displaced people have no place to live, they will go to the local people to start conflicts, which will affect stability. If they are not allowed in, the name of mercy of the lord will be affected. Xianhe, am I right? ”

Jian Yong had to give a thumbs up, Zhao Chen could deduce the whole with just a few words, and he could also point out the problem with a pinpoint point, such a super high thought, it was really admirable.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and was about to speak.

A person suddenly ran in from outside the door, it was Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou.

"Strategist, it's not good!"

Zhao Chen frowned, it was really a wave of unsettled waves, and this day and day, it didn't let people sleep.

And Sun Qian was in a hurry and didn't even notice that Jian Yong was also there.

He gasped and said: "Military Division, the grain depot in Huaiyin has been counted, it is less than 5,000 stones, and the preliminary estimate is that the population of the county is about 30,000, which will not support the autumn harvest in two weeks. Not to mention the need to replenish our army. ”

Zhao Chen's brows just stretched and tightened again, the situation was indeed more serious than he imagined.

The geographical location of Huaiyin is very critical, here is connected with the next Pi, under the Guangling, the west is the front line of Yuan Shu's attack, the east is the rich area of Xuzhou, the Huai River flows through the area, and there is Hongze Lake, it is the natural gateway.

But now the current situation in Huaiyin is really worrying, Yuan Shu doesn't care about the people's livelihood at all, just like sweeping the city, sweeping all this place in one place, and it is even more difficult to restore the vitality of the place.

But despite this, Zhao Chen already had a plan in his heart.

He persuaded: "Don't be impatient, the so-called easy to fight the country, difficult to defend the country, where is the difficulty?" It's the question in the mouths of the two. But it's useless for the two of you to be anxious at this time, so we might as well wait for a while. ”

Jian Yong asked, "Wait?" Strategist, will we wait here for any results? Will the homeless people wait for it? ”

Sun Qian also said: "Yes, military advisor, this is all burning eyebrows, are you still waiting?" Tomorrow, the army of General Guan and General Chen will be pulled out to collect several surrounding counties, and now that the military rations have not been gathered, how can the army move forward? ”

Zhao Chen smiled mysteriously: "Wait for someone." ”

"Who?"

As soon as Sun Qian's words fell, footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Then the guards hurriedly came in and reported: "Strategist, the lord is here." ”

Jian Yong and Sun Qian looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously, could it be that the main guild had already expected Zhao Chen to come?

Zhao Chen made a gesture of invitation, and the three of them went to the door to greet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also looked hurried, with a sad face.

As soon as he saw Zhao Chen, he took his hand and said, "Xianhe and Gongyou are also here, that's just right." Houde, I didn't dare to bother you so late, but now that there is an emergency military situation in Huaiyin City, I have to disturb you late at night. ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "The lord said that it doesn't matter, Houde has already prepared." ”

Liu Bei was slightly surprised: "Could it be that Houde had expected me to come?" ”

Zhao Chen smiled but said nothing, and led the three of them to the main hall to sit separately.

"Lord, a second ago, Xianhe gave Houde a problem, about which homeless people outside the city have nowhere to settle down, and the backfoot Gongyou will test me with the food problem, let me guess why the lord came?"

Everyone focused their eyes on Zhao Chen, and they also wanted to see if he could really guess the purpose of Liu Bei's trip.

I saw Zhao Chen glance at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, it must be a spy who came to report that there is an abnormality in several counties south of Guangling County, right?" ”

This time, Liu Bei opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded.

There is no doubt that Zhao Chen guessed it again.

"This military information has just been delivered, and it was sent directly to me, Houde, how did you know this news?"

Zhao Chen smiled, this damn self-confidence is just a fan, otherwise he would not have to show it off.

"Could it be that the military division has men and horses arranged in several counties in the south?"

Sun Qian guessed randomly.

Zhao Chen shook his head: "Naturally not, I am alone, how can I arrange the personnel." ”

"That military advisor has an eye in the sky and can predict the future?"

The more the three of them talked, the more evil they became, and even their superpowers came out. In fact, it is also normal, the ancients often liked to use myths, strange stories, strange things, etc. to describe unknown things, just because they could not understand them.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't sell Houde, let's talk about it, how do you know." ”

Zhao Chen changed his expression and became serious.

"Lord, the affairs in Huaiyin City have been handed over to Xianhe and Gongyou, and naturally the Lord is looking for virtue outside Huaiyin City, one of them; Now that our bureau occupies the key city, although Yuan Shujun has retreated, according to my understanding of Yuan Shu, this person has a small belly and chicken intestines, and will not give up, and will definitely let several other counties wait for the opportunity to move, and this is the second one; Our army entered Huaiyin, but we did not see the Chen family to help for a long time, which shows that the Chen family in the south is still working hard to resist Yuan Shu, and they can't spare their hands, and this is the third one; The lord came late at night, indicating that he was in a hurry at this time, and ordinary matters could be discussed tomorrow, and there was only one thing that had to be discussed today, that is, it involved the two generals Guan and Chen going out to fight tomorrow. Therefore, Houde dared to guess that there must be an abnormal movement in the south, and it needs to be decided overnight. ”

Zhao Chen's guess was well-reasoned and analyzed, and everyone was amazed.

Such things can be seen through by Zhao Chen at a glance, and what else can make Zhao Chen not know.

Liu Bei laughed, it was really a treasure.

"The military advisor really expected things to be like a god, and just received the military information, saying that the four counties of Guangling, Gaoyou, Dongyang, and Tangyi have received Yuan Shu's letter, and are strengthening the city defense, waiting for the opportunity to move, and our army has lost the opportunity to raid. Since the military advisor has anticipated this, he must have already had a countermeasure. ”

"Rest assured, I have three strategies to deal with three things."
