Accompanied by panic and anxiety, several scouts immediately turned around Dangcheng without stopping after confirming that there were no spies around. After they entered the city, two fast horses rushed out of Dangcheng in less than a cup of tea.

These two horses, one horse sat at once, and the other was empty.

The horses sitting on the two of them were Jiang Xi, but this scout who was born as a farmer was not very skilled in riding, so he was at most a passenger and was led forward by the real rider.

The horse ran very fast, galloping on the official road, and soon saw several villages and towns on the outermost side of Dai County.

On the other hand, in Dai County, there was no prefect in the county magistrate's yamen. Chen Zhi, the county magistrate, actually came to his own workshop. After meeting the person in charge, Li Li, he called Li Li's younger brother, the talented Li Wei, to a room in the workshop.

During this period, Chen Zhi has spent most of his time in the government office in government offices, and he has not even been diligent in returning home from his own house, and this workshop has almost never been concerned about it.

However, Chen Zhi's people did not come, but his investment in the workshop was not vague, and he continued to expand his scale and scope.

Today, the Chen family workshop has developed from a small workshop of the Zheng family to a continuous house covering a lot of land. Almost all the surrounding yards and houses have been bought by the Chen family. Some of them are used as workshops, and the other part is a place where craftsmen and servants sleep and live.

In addition, a brand new workshop has been built in Chenzhuang outside the city. It is said that most of the work of the workshop in the city will be transferred in the future.

Of course, the workshop in the city is still the top priority of the Chen family in Dai County, especially the paper workshop, which has now become a major income pillar of the Chen family in Dai County, and has gradually shown its power. If it weren't for the clouds of war, it would have probably already made a fortune every day.

However, Chen Zhi came here today, not to ask the paper shop. After calling Li Wei, he asked a few questions. After receiving the answer, his brows frowned slightly.

"According to your words, that thing has been pieced together?"

Li Wei is not old and is usually quite out of character, but when facing Chen Zhi, he was reserved and cautious. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, "According to your guidance, he spliced ​​the several things refined by the Ma family and pulled them into our own iron shop. It was barely done, but after knocking for a few times, he always felt it was difficult to hold on for a few times."

"That's enough. It's just for temporary use," Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Don't waste the remaining scraps, just put them together."

Li Wei expressed his understanding and then said goodbye.

As soon as someone left, Chen Zhi took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was the "moment map like a tiger's wings" accumulated after drawing lots.

This picture is from the Mohist family's signature, and there are two pictures in total. They are obtained at the same time as the "Tibetan Picture" and the "Search for Squares" but Chen Zhi has always kept it, just to use it at critical moments.

This is like a picture that adds wings to the tiger. As long as you have a prototype of the concept, write the general outline and concept on paper to prevent it from being in a secret room for three days, you can have a complete structural diagram.

At this time, Chen Zhi looked at the responsible structure above, glanced at several relatively independent figures, and finally teared them up with both hands, and the drawing was directly shattered.

Confetti here was gathered up, and Chen Ju's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Lord, when someone comes to the city, he says there is something important to report."

After a cup of tea, Chen Zhi met Jiang Xi in the backyard of the yamen.

Facing the actual ruler of Day County, Jiang Xi was inevitably nervous and excited, so she couldn't even explain her words clearly.

"Don't be impatient," Chen Zhi waved his hand and comforted him, "I remember your name is Jiang Xi. I have captured two leaders of Ke Bo Zhen's army before, and I've seen you meant at that time."

"I didn't expect that you, Taishou, can still remember villains!" Jiang Xi was so excited that his face turned red with excitement. He felt that he was as little as him, so he could keep remembering Chen Zhi. Inexplicably, he felt that he had a much closer relationship with Chen Zhi and his tension dissipated a lot.

Seeing that the other party calmed down, Chen Zhi asked with the flow: "You said you met the Xianbei people?"

Jiang Xi quickly told the scene he saw in the forest.

"Maybe the approximate number of people?" Chen Zhi asked again.

Jiang Xi pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "The situation was too critical at that time. In the end, we were all hiding, so we were negligent about the troops and horses. I hope the prefect will forgive him."

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "You did not do anything wrong. Scouts are all elites in our army. How difficult it is to cultivate one. Safeguard yourself is the first choice. What's more, you have brought the news back. If you are impulsive, not only will your life be unsafe, but I will not know the news. Therefore, you are guilty and meritorious!"

Jiang Xi was relieved when she heard this.

Chen Zhi then said, "You have worked very hard all the way. I was even more tired of investigating the enemy situation before. Go down and take a rest. If you need to know the details, I will summon you again."

"Thank you for your concern!" Jiang Xi heard this and felt that Chen Zhi was really approachable and loved the people as much as his son. He was in a state of great excitement.

Chen Zhi then narrowed his eyes.

"Is this going to raid Dai County? Duan Wenyang is quite bold, but it is also my chance!"

After the thought came to his mind, he immediately called Chen Ju and asked him to call all the officials in the city. Then he called Ran Zhan over and asked him to come forward and lead people to "invitation" the elders of the major families in the city, the speakers and the outstanding children to the yamen.

……………………

Pick! Pick! Pick!

On the muddy road, horse hooves fell on it and kept making noises.

The Xianbei soldiers who left the dense forest finally arrived on the flat road. After a brief renovation, they slowly moved forward.

The ones walking in the front were the direct soldiers and horses directly belonging to Duan Wenyang. They were strong and energetic. Even the horses under their crotch seemed energetic and obviously had been carefully fed.

In fact, the same is true. Since following Wang Jun, the Xianbei of Duan tribe has focused on developing cavalry, paying special attention to feeding horses and selecting horse grains. This time Duan Wenyang went on the battle and bargained with Wang Quan, and then got the best forage from him. Therefore, although he accelerated his pace to rush along the way, he still did not delay the care of the horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that on this journey, many small tribes that were forcibly brought in, and their soldiers might not be able to eat with these horses!

These cavalry are also worthy of this treatment, especially the three thousand cavalry among them, who are the direct descendants of the direct descendants. Under Duan Wenyang, they can be said to have fought in the south and north, especially since they followed Wang Jun, and they followed him in and out of the Central Plains several times. They first pacified the refugees in Hebei, attacked the Jie bandits, and even fought against the Xiongnu cavalry several times.

After so many fierce battles, even if they are not tempered into an elite army, their rich experience will be far beyond the combat power of other soldiers.

Not to mention, in order to maintain this cavalry, Duan Wenyang and the Duan Xianbei invested a lot of financial and manpower every year, and then went to war with such troops, robbed and feed back.

Duan Wenyang rode a tall horse and walked in front of the cavalry, raising his head and chest out, as if he was integrated with these three thousand people, emitting an unspeakable fierce aura.

Compared with the cavalry leading the way, the soldiers on both sides of the wings are much inferior. Not only are they not as energetic as they are, they all look tired, but many of them are dejected, and some even walk in a swaying manner. Even the clothes are in the sky and the ground.

A large part of these people can be called ragged. If they had not followed the army to fight, they still had a formation and formation, they would have been regarded as beggars.

These are undoubtedly the people of the small tribes who were forcibly requisitioned along the way. These people were originally fleeing in various places due to the Xianbei civil war. Most of them were Xianbei tribes, and there were other small tribes. There were not many individuals, but they were quite impressive when they gathered together.

This time, Wang Quan blocked the road, so that Duan Wenyang could only bring in less than half of his troops, but he still decisively selected these miscellaneous troops. He had his own considerations, not only to avoid too much consumption of his own power, but also to prevent these small clans from being pulled by him from scattering again, affecting his plan.

Of course, more importantly, these people are very ideal cannon fodder, which is perfect for testing and siege.

In a cruel siege battle, even if the siege side wins in the end, it often costs a huge price. Of course, Duan Wenyang is reluctant to send out his own direct troops, and even his subordinates do not want to consume too much.

Da da da da da!

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves sounded in front of him, and then a slightly thin but smart young man came over, strangled the reins far away from Duan Wenyang, and said, "Hao Shuai, we are still half a day away from that Dai County! I have sent people to control the vehicles and pedestrians."

"Good boy! Beautiful job!" Duan Wenyang nodded. The young man opposite was his fellow tribe, named Duan Min. The two were close to each other and were his right-hand man. Although they were not tall, they were brave in combat.

On the other side, Zheng Ru on the side couldn't help saying: "General, you have been traveling urgently for a few days and crossing the forest and river. The soldiers and horses are inevitably exhausted. The journey is not far or near in the past half day. There are soldiers and generals who control the passing people. Why not let the army repair it, accumulate energy, and then attack Dai County?"

Duan Wenyang's face suddenly became gloomy and he shook his head and said, "Soldiers are very fast. We finally arrived here. We caught Chen Zhi off guard. How could we give up halfway? Duan Min, pass on our military orders and march immediately!"

Zheng Ru's face changed, she shook her head slightly, and vaguely guessed that the reason why this general was so impatient was probably related to the current situation in the Xianbei tribes, which was really hard to dissuade him.
