"Oh Ah Fan! You are too slow to come to Baideng!"
Guo Dian took Zhang Fan into the inner hall of the government office.
"Why is Mr. Guo so anxious?"
Zhang Fan chuckled lightly and let Guo Dian hold him.
At this time, many people have gathered in the government office of Baideng City, most of them are local officials of Baideng City. At this time, these people are all uneasy. They have received news that there are thousands of foot soldiers. I just entered Baideng City.
It was already winter, and so many soldiers and horses were mobilized, everyone was wondering whether there was going to be a war.
"Alas, we have just received news. A spy reported that the Xianbei people have gathered a large army between Bing and Liang Prefectures! Tens of thousands of people have already headed towards the Beidi County of Liang Prefecture!"
When Guo Dian said this, his eyebrows were already furrowed. It was obvious that he must have been extremely worried during this period.
So fast...
Hearing this, Zhang Fan was deep in thought, but still looked relaxed.
"Go! Your Majesty is inside."
Guo Dian and Zhang Fan came to the inner hall. The county magistrate, county captain, and county officials from Baideng City were all waiting here. The expressions on everyone's faces were different.
Zhang Fan felt relieved, and then followed the direction of Guo Dian's finger and entered the room inside.
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Fan saluted Yanmen County Magistrate Shi Wangze who was sitting on the couch.
At this time, Wang Ze was actually quite calm. Although he was frowning, he could still tell that he was not panicking and was still reading the book in his hand.
"Come to Afan."
Wang Ze nodded slightly and motioned for Zhang Fan to come forward and sit down.
Because of Guo Tai's relationship, the relationship between Wang Yun and Zhang Fan became extremely close. As Wang Yun's cousin, Wang Ze also regarded Zhang Fan as a very close person.
But of course Zhang Fan couldn't be rude and just walked closer to Wang Ze.
"Have you already sent him out of the gate?"
"Yes, he was picked up by hundreds of Xianbei miscreants."
"Um..."
Wang Ze stroked his beard and nodded, then raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhang Fan who was standing there.
"I heard that when you first entered the city, Ah Fan, you captured a Xianbei spy?"
"Yes! That person should be in Baideng City who has been in contact with the Xianbei people all year round. He saw thousands of soldiers suddenly entering Baideng, and then wanted to go out to inform the Xianbei people!"
Wang Ze nodded again.
The reason why Wang Ze and Zhang Fanneng so quickly concluded that the man at the city gate must be a spy planted by Xianbei in Baideng City is actually very simple. When the man opened his mouth, he was looking for the envoy instead of the prefect of the mansion, which shows that People must know that Dou Tong was about to escape from Han at this time!
But the news that Dou Tong wanted to flee to Xianbei, except for a few people on Wang Ze and Zhang Fan, was only known to Xianbei.
Moreover, since that person is an official of Baideng City, it is impossible not to know that Wang Ze personally led these troops into Baideng City! After all, many local officials came to the government office in person to accompany him.
It can be seen from this that the man who wanted to tip off the news was really in a hurry and sought medical treatment!
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Wang Ze asked again.
"Does Afan know that a Xianbei army has already headed towards Beidi County?"
Zhang Fan nodded slightly. On the one hand, Guo Dian had just told him outside, and on the other hand, it was the same as what he remembered from his previous life.
"Then...will Xianbei make other moves in the future?"
Wang Ze frowned slightly and asked hesitantly.
Zhang Fan actually understood the Wang Shijun's concerns.
What Wang Ze actually wants to say is that now that the Xianbei people have gone to rob the northern land, they should not go south to plunder other states and counties in the future, right?
There is no way, after all, a dead Taoist friend is not dead to a poor Taoist.
Zhang Fan understood Wang Ze's thoughts very well. Wang Shijun's life was actually very difficult. The governor of a county suddenly wanted to let go. As the Xianbei army moved south, everything fell on him alone. Then Wang Shijun listened to his nephew Zhang Xian and acted like he was pretending to be sick.
That's right, in fact, the rumor that Wang Shijun was seriously ill and went home to recuperate was what Zhang Fan asked Wang Ze to do in order to cope with the war that was about to happen in the next ten days.
But now, Wang Ze was hesitating again.
"That Ah Fan, that new Beidi Xia governor, can really repel the Xianbei people?"
The Xia governor here is Sima who was one of the "Three Mings of Liangzhou" in the early years when Duan Xi was protecting the Qiang camp, and Xia Yu who made many meritorious deeds in the battles with the Qiang people.
Zhang Fan had previously encouraged Wang Ze to quietly send troops, and one of the guarantees for pretending to be sick again was that the Xianbei people would attack Beidi County of Liangzhou, and Xia Yu, who had just taken over as the governor of Beidi, would pursue and defeat them.
Now, half of this has actually happened! The Xianbei people really went to the North!
But Wang Ze still felt that it was unreliable. Maybe Zhang Fan had already received the internal news of the Xianbei troops dispatching troops!
After all, the "Sihaihao" business run by the Zhang family in Mayi spans several states in Hebei, and they also do horse business with Xianbei and Wuhuan. I'm sure some Xianbei people among them might have leaked the news, so they left them in the winter. The news of the dispatch of troops was given to Zhang's people.
Alas, although, in the final analysis, Wang Ze Wang Shijun still believed half of Zhang Fan's words, but he had doubts about Xia Yu's ability to repel the Xianbei people!
War is not a child's play!
If the Xianbei people really went to Beidi County, and then the new Xia Governor really repulsed them, would the Xianbei people really change their direction and plunder their Yanmen County?
Wang Ze looked deeply at Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan still had a confident and relaxed look on his face, so he had no choice but to wave Zhang Fan away.
Zhang Fan promised Wang Ze two things beforehand. One was that the Xianbei people would go south to Beidi, and the other was that after the Xianbei people were defeated in Liangzhou, they would change their route to go south to Yanmen!
"Please wait for the news!"
Zhang Fan gave instructions before leaving and closing the door.
...
Accompanied by the sound of stepping on the snow, Zhang Fan led Cheng Lian and his party to the military camp in the city.
As soon as I checked my identity and before I entered the military camp, I heard cheers inside.
Zhang Fan and others took a closer look and saw an extremely tall and majestic young man wearing black trousers and the standard crimson uniform of the Han army. He was holding a plump white rabbit in his hand, and various kinds of things were lying at his feet. The prey was showing off his today's hunting results to his colleagues around him.
Apparently this Han soldier remembered the support of his colleagues, and dozens of people had gathered around him to watch.
After Zhang Fan saw the man's appearance, he narrowed his eyes slightly and wondered what he was thinking.
Cheng Lian and Wei Yue had also seen the young man clearly, and they were all envious.
"Fengxian's martial arts skills are truly outstanding! From my point of view, it's really unfair to just be a commander, let alone a village commander!"
This was said by Wei Yue.
When Cheng Lian heard this, he disagreed: "Wei Zijing, what you say is really trivial! There is no official position in the army that you can say is worthy of anyone! If the young master hadn't spoken in front of Wang Shijun, Fengxian would not have been able to do so. What year and month did it take for me to have such a great talent!"
Wei Yue kept nodding after hearing Cheng Lian's rebuttal, looking at the majestic Lu Bu in the distance and sighing: "Indeed! Fengxian was really born to fight in the army. Only a small man can gather so many people!" "
"Who would have thought that a few years ago, those of us in Wuyuan Township were still refugees without farmland! Thanks to Shaojun's rescue, we all have food and clothing."
The military system of the Han Dynasty was as follows: two teams and one Shi, five Shi and one team, two teams and one tun, and two tuns and one song.
Zhang Fan smiled softly, then took a look around the camp and returned to the resting place in the city.
...
Outside the fortress, dozens of miles away from Qiangyin City, a large camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers stood at the intersection.
On the left is a mountain sticking out of the mountains, and on the right is a large plain.
In winter, the mountains look particularly dark, and the plains are covered with snow, so they look particularly white. When they are reflected in two, they give off a chilling atmosphere.
In the Chinese army's tent, Luo Luohu and Dou Tong were discussing matters.
"How are you, Mr. Dou? Did you hear me?"
Luo Luohu said proudly to Dou Tong, while Dou Tong closed his eyes tightly.
Just now, Xianbei cavalry came to report that a few days ago, a Xianbei army of about 10,000 people had been heading towards Lian County and Fuping County of Beidi County.
"Haha." Luo Luohu laughed, took the hot wine on the table and drank it.
He deliberately told Dou Tong this now, because according to time calculation, the results of the battle south to Beidi County would be reported, and he could use this to humiliate the surrendered Han family eunuch for fun!
"I heard that the governor of Beidi County has just arrived. Haha, I just want to say hello to him!"
Luo Luohu looked at the expressionless Dou Tong in front of him and was even more happy, thinking that this cowardly Han family eunuch had no backbone.
"Mr. Dou, from now on you will be the leader of my Khan's tent. You have to adapt to walking horses in Han Dynasty often!"
However, Dou Tong seemed not to have heard what Luo Luohu said, and just sat upright and looked outside the tent.
I felt disappointed after settling in Luohu, so I had to have a drink there and wait quietly for the news from Liangzhou Northland.
After waiting for about an hour, there was indeed a sound of horse hooves outside the Chinese army's tent.
He was immediately overjoyed when he settled in Luohu. When he stood up, he saw a Xianbei soldier covered in blood entering the tent.
Covered in blood? Probably Han Chinese...
But why is this person's face full of fear...
Luoluohu's heart sank. After hearing the Xianbei soldier finish describing the battle situation in the North, he kicked the wine glass away from the table.
"In December of the third year of Xiping, when Xianbei entered the north, the prefect Xia Yu led Tu Ge to pursue and defeat him. Qian Yu was appointed as the Wuhuan school captain. Xianbei invaded and merged with the prefecture." - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty"
