Sima Guang did not submit a memorial, and did not even mention today's incident again.

He knew that if the other party was wrong in this matter, it was just that the soldier did not recognize him. He had to fight with the soldier if he wanted to sue, which was a matter that was more shameful than being injured.

And he knew that Chen Yuan was right. He had been here for so many days and had always been feeling unwilling to deal with these martial artists. As a result, he didn't even know where the baggage was. This was incompetence.

So after his injuries healed a little, he started wandering around the barracks and checking the situation in various places. It was from this time that he really contacted the barracks, the troops, and the group of people he had never thought of knowing.

Chen Yuan is planning this issue about Yaode City’s defense these days.

Now that the city is big, it is difficult to defend. If you can usually ignore the city, but the leaders of those tribes will come to the meeting immediately, Li Yuanhao will definitely not let him finish the meeting safely, and he will inevitably make trouble in the middle.

He doesn't have the ability to capture the city, but if two massacres outside the city will have a bad impact on the Song army.

War is now Liu Ping's problem. Chen Yuan has already said that he will be responsible for the specific matters, but Liu Ping has to report to Chen Yuan so that Chen Yuan can know what he arranged so that he can feel at ease.

This is why Chen Yuan reported to Renzong all the big and small matters. Although Renzong gave power to himself, if he really didn't tell him anything and made decisions on everything himself, it would make Renzong very uneasy.

The most typical example of this is Yuan Chonghuan of the Ming Dynasty, who was loyal and capable, and the emperor also gave him power. He let him sever his affairs outside the pass and monopolize military and political power, and he never doubted anything.

He was almost done, but he really made up his own decision. The emperor didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know what he was going to do next. The consequences of this can only be when the emperor has a little suspicion about you, that is, when your head falls! You don't even have the chance to defend yourself.

Liu Ping told Chen Yuan one by one. There are now 5,000 troops, and he plans to arrange three lines of defense. The first line of defense is a cordon, close to Xiping Prefecture, composed of the current 5,000 troops under Shan Yufuguang and 4,000 troops of the Dora tribe. The function of this line of defense is to monitor Li Yuanhao's movements. Once he comes, the Song army behind him will know the opponent's route and number.

The second line of defense was eighty miles west of Yaode City. Liu Ping asked the five thousand Song troops to build five military camps in this direction, which could ensure that all routes were controlled.

All the remaining people are in Yaode City.

This arrangement is pretty good. Li Yuanhao can't move the army now. Any of the three lines of defense is enough for him to fight for a while.

This made Chen Yuan feel a lot more relieved: "Okay, I'll feel relieved. Never let those Dangxiang people see my jokes."

Liu Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you can't bear to kill me."

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "How about the person I handed over to you?"

Liu Ping's face suddenly changed: "Are you asking Bai Yutang or Liang Huaiji?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Tell me both."

Liu Ping suddenly sighed: "If they were to mix them together, that would be great. Bai Yutang is now being locked in a military prison by me."

Chen Yuanyi became interested when he heard this: "What's going on? He violated military discipline?"

Liu Ping nodded: "I asked the soldiers to practice formations, which is a gun formation in groups of ten people. His team has never had Wuming's team. There were only four people who were shot, and eight of his team were already stabbed. According to the rules, he should admit defeat at this time, but this kid refused to admit defeat and insisted that he could hit Wuming and the others alone! He threw the stick and picked up the sword and went up to chop it!"

Chen Yuan laughed loudly: "He has never been to the battlefield, he will know if he has been to it. What about Liang Huaiji?"

Liu Ping even sighed: "The training is good. Although his physical strength is a little worse and not as brave as Bai Yutang, he is much better than Bai Yutang in respect of discipline. It's just that the soldiers are very dissatisfied. When this guy shows respect, no one is allowed to be next to him!"

Chen Yuan wanted to laugh even more, but this time he controlled it and just said, "Let him go, it may be a matter of personal habits. When the tribe leaders are almost there, Li Yuanhao will definitely come. Let them all go to the battlefield to try it, but be careful and don't let them affect the situation."

Liu Ping nodded: "I understand."

As he was talking, Tie Anli pushed open the door and came in: "Shopkeeper, Lord Xia Sui is here."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed: "Oh? It's great, let him come in. If we can tell us what Li Yuanhao is going to do at this time, we will be more confident that the alliance will be successfully opened."

Xia Sui's face seemed to have become much thinner. When Chen Yuan entered the door, he found that his already thin figure had become much slimmer. He asked: "Xia Sui, have you lived a very hard life these days? Haven't eaten meat for a long time?"

Xia Sui smiled bitterly: "Shopkeeper, don't bring meat to me. Let me tell you, go to Xingqing Mansion for a walk now, and I promise you will not think about eating meat anymore! If it weren't for the help of Master Chai, the official would have to rely on human flesh to fill his stomach."

He sat down first, and took the teapot up without hesitation, poured a cup by himself: "I haven't smelled the tea for a long time."

He drank glass after cup, while roughly talking about the situation in Xingqing Mansion to Chen Yuan.

Then he said, "Mr. Prince Concubine, Li Yuanhao has now trusted Wu Hao very much, especially after defeating Shanhui Fuguang last time, he seemed to be unable to listen to Zhang Yuan's tricks. Wu Hao believes that now is a great time to kill Zhang Yuan."

Chen Yuan smiled: "No one is willing to give up power. If there are still some people who beat him, how could Li Yuanhao be willing to surrender? Zhang Yuandao was also persistent, and he actually thought that Li Yuanhao could listen to him."

Xia Sui nodded: "Yes, he believes that surrendering now is the only way to ensure that there is still a little capital left."

This is the only way, there is a glimmer of hope. But Chen Yuan knew that Li Yuanhao would never do it. He took a deep breath. Zhang Yuan, this guy was really annoying, so it would be better to ask Wu Hao to do him: "How do Wu Hao plan to do Yuan?"

Xia Sui stepped forward and whispered: "This still requires the cooperation of the prince-consort. In a few days, wouldn't you ask those Dangxiang people to come to your party? Wu Hao meant that there must be someone among them who kept in touch with Li Yuanhao. Can we use their mouths to let Li Yuanhao know that Zhang Yuan sent someone to talk to us in private?"

Chen Yuan laughed at him, a very simple idea. But it is the most appropriate to use it on Li Yuanhao now!

Li Yuanhao had nothing left, he only had that dragon robe left. At this time, he would not let someone touch his dragon robe. Anyone who wanted to touch his dragon robe would kill that person. If he knew that Zhang Yuan was in contact with him in private, Li Yuanhao would not be ruthless.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Do you have any tokens from Zhang Yuan? If there is, then things would be perfect."

Xia Sui said: "Here is a folding fan here, and there are poems written by him by himself."

Chen Yuan held it in his hand and saw that Zhang Yuan's handwriting was very good, which was not inferior to Chen Shimei's beautiful small calligraphy: "Okay, I know how to do it. Go back and tell Wu Hao, leave the matter here to me. Do you have any plans to make trouble this time?"

Xia Sui's throat moved: "Of course he won't let you form the alliance safely. He knew that Jiao Siluo was going to come here in person, so he sent Yeli to meet Qie as a general and would attack Jiao Siluo's territory at that time. As for this place, he was going to come in person and said that he wanted to give you a warning. Wu Hao didn't know what to do, and Li Yuanhao didn't tell anyone."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, I know everything. Don't rush back. You can rest here for at least two days and keep your body healthy. I don't want to hang it up after you beat the Dangxiang to sell it."

Now Dangxiang sells human flesh not only Li Yuanhao’s family, but those who rebel against Li Yuanhao are actually just a little better than Xingqing Mansion.

They all hoped that the Song army could help them, but now the people of the Song Dynasty were not full. In addition to being a little more generous in the assistance of Li Shibin, a Dangxiang person who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he was also very careful in other tribes.

This time Chen Yuan asked them to say it very clearly, in order to "establish an alliance to fight in a unified manner so as to facilitate the Song army to provide them with assistance, and to initially plan the territory owned by the tribes after the victory."

This is related to how much food they can get and their future territory. There is no reason not to come. And if they don’t come, if their territory is targeted by others in the future, wouldn’t they be ruined?

So among the twenty-six tribes, although some tribes are as long as the Kossiluo and the Weimu clan, they still try their best to attend the meeting.

Among them, the Weimu clan even detoured the way, passed through the Liao Kingdom and entered the third pass, and came to Yaode City from the Song Dynasty. They were the latest among all tribes. Fortunately, Chen Yuan said when he delivered a letter to them that he would definitely wait for them to come, so he was not very anxious.

When the guard suddenly came, he was really shocked by the current scene of Yaode City. In the past, it was just a small city with a population of several thousand. But now, the number of Dangxiang people around Yaode City has reached 70,000 to 80,000!

This number is placed in any tribe, which means that they have at least 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers to fight, which is enough to be arrogant to all the Dangxiang clans.

In the past, the Weimu family also had such a force, but now it cannot.

The Dangxiang people were not forcibly conquered by the Song Dynasty. Suddenly, the guards saw that the Dangxiang men were plowing the land under the command of the Song Dynasty soldiers. It seemed that the Song army wanted to make this their farm.

This is not impossible. During the Tang Dynasty, this place was originally a field. Although it was not as fertile as the land in Jiangnan, self-sufficiency was definitely not a problem.

The women on the roadside were building thatched houses, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Suddenly, the guard screen understood that they were laughing because they could see hope.

His own tribe can also see hope. In the sudden rumor of the guard, as long as they can quickly defeat Li Yuanhao, let the tyrant who dragged Dangxiang into a state of doom, disappear, and rebuild a relationship with the Song Dynasty, they will be restored to the scene in the Li Deming era in a few years.

Don’t be too rich, at least you don’t have to go hungry or eat women.

Although he didn't know Chen Yuan, since the Weimu family sent him here, it means that he was a very capable person, at least he was the best in the Weimu family. Although his eyes were vicious, he saw Chen Yuan standing at the city gate to greet him from afar, which made Weimu suddenly feel a little flattered. He hurriedly got off the horse and ran forward quickly.

"The villain is frightened. It is a sin to let the prince-consort wait for a few days late. He actually worked for the prince-consort to come out in person. He was really frightened."

The guard suddenly said that it was a standard Song people's etiquette, bowing at ninety degrees.

Chen Yuan quickly helped him up: "What do the general say? It is appropriate to wait for the general to come. If our alliance has no general, wouldn't it be much more shameful?"

Although the guard post was still very modest, Chen Yuan's words really benefited him. After all, their family has been unwelcome for a long time. If Chen Yuan had not defeated Li Yuanhao, Li Yuanhao would have turned around and had to deal with them.
