Chen Ao is really not an idle person, he has already smelled the smell of danger.

In the office hall of Aocang, Chen Ao had already gathered dozens of important doormen except Houjun and Wang Hu, and when everyone gathered, the doorman Zhang Yang said: "The messengers sent to Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, and Xingyang have all returned, and the commanders of the four cities have also replied, and they will send reinforcements tomorrow, but the messengers sent to Cheng Ao have not returned yet." ”

The doorman Manqi asked, "Zhang Yang, could it be that the messenger has something to delay on the way?"

"Absolutely not. Zhang Yang said categorically, "Before the messengers set off, they repeatedly told him. ”

"That's what happened. Chen Ao said awe-inspiringly.

Manqi said: "Could it be Liu Bangjun?"

Zhang Yang said: "Isn't Liu Bangjun in Xianyang City? Is it because he wants to seize Ao Cang and Xiang Yu to fight for territory, Liu Bang is very ambitious, and he can't beat Xiang Yu, so he wants to come and grab our granary?"

Chen Ao said: "Ao Cang is the largest granary in the world, the road army wants to rob it, for the safety of Ao Cang, this official must go to Chenggao no matter what!"

Since the king of Qi captured Aocang, he attached great importance to the garrison of Aocang, not only stationed heavy troops in Aocang, but also stationed heavy troops in the five cities of Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Chenggao and Xingyang around Aocang, and the garrisons of the five cities were uniformly deployed by the Aocang order, and they could support Aocang at any time if necessary.

However, Chen Ao was appointed as the Ao Cang Order by the Sanchuan County Shoubao, and he knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately decided to take someone to Chenggao to check out.

.........

Hou Jun took Xiang Zhuang, Chen Ying and other more than 50 people into Ao Cang City, and temporarily placed them in the barracks, and then went straight to the yamen, ready to specifically want Chen Ao to report the matter, just entered the yamen, and saw Chen Ao hurriedly walked out surrounded by dozens of guests, Hou Jun immediately flashed to the side, and said politely, "My lord, are you going out?"

Chen Ao replied: "The messengers sent to Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, and Xingyang Zhucheng have all returned, but the messengers sent to Chenggao have not returned, I am worried that something will happen, so I took someone to Chenggao to see, the matter here in Aocang can only trouble a few righteous people, Wang Hu and a few other righteous people." ”

"Are you thinking too much?" said Hou Jun disapprovingly, "Maybe the messenger is delayed on the way." ”

"Of course, it's better if nothing happens, but I should still take a trip to Chenggao just in case. Chen Ao said calmly, "After all, the stakes are very high, and Ao Cang is the foundation of our Qi country, and the safety of Ao Cang depends on the protection of Jingyi, Suoyi, Guangwu, Xingyang and Chenggao Zhucheng, if there is a mistake in the middle, the consequences will be unimaginable, and I can't explain to the King of Qi." ”

I have to say that Chen Ao is still very capable, at least he knows that Ao Cang is very important, and this string in his head is also very tight, and he will not ignore any abnormality!

"My lord, now the battle between Xiang and Liu is the time when it is inextricable, besides them, although they can compete with the king of Qi?" Hou Jun still disagreed.

"It's always right to be careful. In the face of Hou Jun's questioning, Chen Ao always maintained enough patience, and finally said very sincerely: "When I am not there, the safety of Ao Cangcheng depends on my subordinates and all the righteous people. ”

"Adults are always conscientious and admirable. Hou Jun said this, and said: "As for Ao Cangcheng, although your lord can rest assured, as long as he and the Wang Hu brothers still have a breath of air, there will be no problem." ”

"Okay, then please. Chen Ao said and bowed to Hou Jun again, and then left with dozens of guests.

It wasn't until Chen Ao walked away that Hou Jun suddenly remembered that he hadn't reported the matter of the newly recruited more than fifty blacksmiths to Chen Ao, but after thinking about it, it was not too late to report to him when Chen Ao came back, and there was no need to chase after him to report to him, if he chased it specifically for such a trivial matter, it seemed that he was particularly concerned about those rewards.

......

On the way to Chenggao, Peng Yue was wearing a tattered clothes, a black and oily torn fur hat on his head, his face and hands were full of black coal, pretending to be a dying hungry man lying on the side of the road and groaning, several peasant women passed by with bamboo baskets and threw pity at him, and one peasant woman even put a small piece of dry food at Ling'er's feet, but no one noticed that under the broken grass mat at Peng Yue's feet, there was a cold Pangu arrow hidden.

In the vicinity of Peng Yue, there were more than a dozen hungry men who were also dying lying or sitting, these were naturally the archers in the Xiangzhuang pioneer camp, and this team led by Peng Yue himself was specially responsible for hunting down the messengers or officials who traveled between Cheng Gao and Ao Cang! As long as they looked like messengers or officials, they would all be shot!

The general and the 500 Xiandeng dead soldiers have already blended into the group of refugees, and the battle of Ao Cang is already ready to be fired, and it must not be left untouched, and there must be no mistakes at this time! Therefore, as long as it looks like a messenger or official errand between Ao Cang and various places, it will be killed without mercy! According to the general's order, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go!

In addition to the pioneer battalion, the 2,000 elites of the military camp have also lurked in the nearby mountains.

Once the General and the Vanguard Battalion launch a siege, the Advance Barracks and the Fury Blade Battalion will quickly come forward to help!

Suddenly, Ling'er, who had been in charge of observing outside Aocang City, flew from the front and said eagerly: "General Peng, there are dozens of horseback riders in front, among which there is a person wearing gold armor, purple and gold crown on his head, fair skin, and polite appearance is Chen Ao, and he personally brought the doorman. ”

Peng Yue's expression was tight, and he immediately made a whistle, and more than a dozen longbowmen stretched their hands under the broken grass mat used for cover, holding the longbow tightly in one hand, and the feather arrow in the other, at the same time, dozens of pioneer battalion soldiers hidden in the grass and woods on the road also quietly pulled out Leng Sensen's saber.

......

Besides, Chen Ao came straight to Chenggao with dozens of doormen along the road, Kankan turned a crossing, and more than a dozen dying hungry men suddenly appeared on the side of the road in front of him, Chen Ao didn't feel anything abnormal, but Manqi, the doorman who followed him, suddenly stopped his horse, and shouted at the same time: "My lord, stop!"

"Huh..."Chen Ao quickly reined in his mount, turned around and asked, "Mr. Manchi, what's wrong?"

"My lord be careful! Everyone immediately blocked in front of the adults, and the doormen instantly surrounded Chen Ao in a circle, Manchi suddenly roared, and suddenly pulled out his sword and threw it at Chen Ao's door, Chen Ao was taken aback, and immediately instinctively lowered his head to dodge, at this moment of bowing his head, a loud sound suddenly sounded in his ears, only to see that Manchi's indestructible sword had been broken into two, and at the same time landed with a feather arrow, which could actually shoot the sword that could open the mountain and open the rock.

Manchi couldn't help but be shocked, he had never encountered such a sharp arrow, and shouted categorically: "Quick, protect your lord!"

In an instant, Chen Ao's already fair face became pale, pale and pale.
