"The four-way coalition forces are not in a smooth position in the war in Jicheng?"

Everyone who was disassembling the letter suddenly received the news, and all of them paused for a moment, a little stunned.

Just as even the letter cannot be delivered directly to your hands, it is a common practice to control communications during wartime. Even the aristocratic families understand this and have no way to blame them.

However, Lu Jian and his family are already strong and have a low status in the family, so many of the subordinates they brought can still inquire about information from outside.

But even so, the information about the war situation far away in the Northeast is still confidential to them, and they don’t know much about it. At most, they know that the war has begun. The Yuwen Xianbei, Duanbu Xianbei, Goguryeo, and the ruler of Youping, Wang Jun, have worked together to siege the city.

Like others' thoughts, they did not think that the Xianbei Hu tribe could have any outstanding features in defending the city, so it was only a matter of time to determine that the defeat of the Murong Xianbei was just a matter of time. Even when the army arrived, they would defeat the Murong tribe's defence without any chance. How could they expect that the coalition side would encounter a bad situation?

Could it be fake news?

"You even have doubts about the news of the city's rescue. Of course, you will also have doubts about the situation on the coalition side. This is normal," Chen Zi looked at the few people, but said calmly, "You can read the letter first, and let's discuss it after reading it."

His expression surprised Lu Jian and others, but he nodded, opened the envelope first, and looked at the letter from home.

Noting the expressions of the crowd and the atmosphere in the camp, Chen Zi couldn't sit still, but felt a sense of controlling the situation in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel emotion in his heart.

"I am a hero in the Chen family. In the past, I was often praised by my grandfather, so I took him by my side to teach. But compared to Lu Jian and others, I was actually worse than that of Lu Jian. The family background behind them is deep and they have a status. In the past, when I met them, I had to respect and respect them. I was at the disadvantage of the lower-ranking leader. Now, relying on the situation of my clan brothers, a word can make them wonder. The fate of this person does not only depend on his own struggle, but also on the environment he is in."

After he sighed, the few people in front of him read the letter of the family almost as soon as possible. Gu En frowned and whispered with Lu Jian in a low voice. Then he looked up and asked: "We did talk about the war in the northern border and the siege of the four sides. However, General Wang's troops had not arrived yet, so the offensive was not smooth and he was in a stalemate and confrontation. But this did not change the predicament of the Murong family. Why did we all mention the matter of sending servants to protect us? Isn't this a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence," Chen Zi replied frankly, "You have sent people to leave quickly to report the letter to your family, so the prefect arranged a letter and sent it to your family. The letter analyzed the situation of the war in the northern border, talked about the setbacks of the coalition forces in the early stage of the war, and roughly talked about the situation of Daijun during the war, and borrowed people from your family based on this reason."

"Borrow someone?" Lu Jian's heart moved, "Wu Ding?"

"No," Chen Zi nodded, "It's Wu Ding."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.

Gu En said bluntly: "Premier Chen took the Zheng family as the guide and summoned Wu Ding from this county. Now, should we use us as bait to send Wu Ding to their families? What do you want so many soldiers? Besides, I don't think that it's because my people are here to send soldiers to their families!"

Others nodded and sent servants to guard the guards. It might be normal, but at most, there were more than a dozen people, twenty people, and no more than thirty people. After all, Zhuge Yan was studying abroad, and with his status as the legitimate son of Wuhou and the prince, there were only so many soldiers around him. This included the servants under the name of the people who were traveling with him, let alone the present?

Chen Zi said: "There is another reason here, mainly because the prefect promised the Tongdian matter, and at the same time, there were not many servants needed. On the other hand, the prefect has already made some predictions about the situation in the northern border. I believe that it is because some predictions have been realized that your family will be loosened. In addition, there seems to be an agreement, which is about this county. For the specific reasons, you can write a letter to ask, or you can learn about it from your family after returning."

As soon as they heard this, everyone understood and knew that behind this, there might be negotiations between the Chen family, the Yang family and their respective families, and perhaps the exchange of interests.

Of course, Chen Zhi has a lot of reputation, but his weight in terms of interests is not enough. Even if he can summon some aristocratic families, the number will not be large, and he will not be easily incorporated and directed by him like the aristocratic families in Dai County.

But Gu En suddenly said, "If we leave now, what reason do you have to summon the servants again?"

"The servants came here to protect you all," Chen Zi was prepared for this statement. "If you leave, of course you don't need to call. In fact, this is also to be prepared for any precautions. Before the war begins, the prefect cannot estimate how much advantage it can be. He can only plan in the worst case. The letter was sent out before defeating the Xianbei. Now the situation of the battle is getting better, but the prefect cannot be sure of winning at the beginning, so he needs to make more preparations."

Speaking of this, Lu Jian and others were indeed not easy to refute, and they had no plans to leave, because they all mentioned it in their letters from home, allowing them to stay in Dai County for the time being and wait and see what they have changed.

This instruction itself shows that the family behind them must have had some agreement with Chen Zhi, and even some tacit understanding.

Therefore, when Chen Zi was talking, he was a little restrained because he could not grasp his bottom line. But at the same time, they were also interested in mentioning the soldiers outside, but Chen Zi never gave them this opportunity.

On the other hand, the matter of everyone being invited to the tent has also been sent to Chen Zhi's table.

"These people need to be arranged. After the war in northern Xinjiang is stable, we will face not only the Xiongnu and Xianbei Sanmen, but also Wang Jun, so we have to ask for help from some foreign aid."

Chen Zhi put down his intelligence and turned to a scholar beside him and said, "This person is Bao Jingyan."

Bao Jingyan laughed when he heard this: "Prince, based on my understanding of these aristocratic families, they are all senior fence-bearers. It is not realistic to expect them to keep their promises. Even if you calculate the situation in the north, you will temporarily shock them, but when Wang Jun comes to his senses, if there is any disadvantage here, I am afraid that those aristocratic families will summon their children back as soon as possible."

"So, the promises brought by fame are not as good as those of interest, so the letters to each company also involve some specific things, standing by military forces, indicating that they are not afraid of Wang Jun, and then tempting them with profit can move people's hearts, but it will take some time to see the difference." Chen Zhi said, picking up the paper and writing.

Bao Jingyan heard this, but felt thoughtful.

At this moment, a man suddenly came to give in and said that he had found traces of the Huns in the forest again.

When Bao Jingyan heard this, he couldn't help but put away his smile and said seriously: "In one day, multiple Xiongnu scouts were found. It seems that the Xiongnu group is indeed going to march towards Dai County. I don't know if Wang Quan had cut down the number of people before contacting him."

"I'm afraid the Huns won't come." Chen Zhi didn't stop the pen in his hand, but suddenly said this.

"Hmm?" Bao Jingyan was quite surprised when he heard this, "How can I see it?"

Chen Zhi said without raising his head: "The scout should be careful when he acts, but he was discovered several times a day, and some people were afraid that others would not know that the Huns were attacking. This military affairs are a mixture of virtual and real, and virtual and real. If the Huns really want to come to Dai County, the first choice is to attack, so they should act quietly. Now, if you are afraid that others will not know, it means you are pretending to behave."

As he spoke, Chen Zhi lowered his head and sighed: "What a pity, I used the method of replacing the Wu Ding to transfer the four thousand Wu Dings who were trained properly through the connected fortresses, and then transferred the newly obtained soldiers to the barracks. He was confused by the sound of training, just to lure the enemy to siege and then attack with the trend. Now the Huns' move probably saw through my plan, but they had to retreat and find another way. However, good and bad luck depend on each other, and I am afraid that the prefectures and counties here can share some pressure."

Bao Jingyan heard a little meaning and said, "So, the Huns have other goals. Don't Dai County need to be so strict with the garrison?"

"It must not be like this, we must strictly guard it, and we must not take it lightly," Chen Zhi said, and suddenly changed his subject, "What's more, although the Xianbei was defeated and the Huns left, the war in the northern border did not subside, and the aftermath would affect Dai County. The real key is actually the Murong tribe, which depends on how far they can do."

As the two were talking, someone came to report the matter: "Prince, there were a few people outside the city, and they were escorted, saying that they were the Xianbei chief captured on the other side of the city, and they wanted to be interrogated."

Bao Jingyan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled without saying a word.

Chen Zhize nodded and said, "Don't rush to interrogate. Let someone take him with him first and walk around the city a few times so that the people and scholars in the city will know about it, and then bring him to me."

"promise!"

After the person who reported the news stepped down, Bao Jingyan smiled and bowed: "Congratulations to the prefect, the Xianbei leader sent it here. After parading, everyone in the city knew the power of the prefect's military strategist. Those who still have his own thoughts will regret it, so they will come to express their loyalty."

Chen Zhi put down his pen and replied with a smile: "The prisoners are sent to calm people's hearts. As for the families in the city, they have already handed over the Wu Ding, just toothless tigers. After the situation calms down, I am about to take care of it. What these people think is not important at all."

Bao Jingyan was stunned, but then said, "Then it seems that the prefect will report victory to the court and Wang Jun to stabilize the situation."
