The vast mountains and dense forests are in groups.

However, in the midst of such a mountain forest, there is also a road that winds and turns, and although the road is rugged, the general outline can be seen.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped through the road, and the horse and the rider on the horse, through the layers of trees, suddenly opened up in front of them, a city that seemed to be surrounded by low walls, instead of heavy mountains, appeared in front of the rider.

"Northern Xinjiang Emergency! Northern Xinjiang Emergency! ”

The rider sat on his horse, raised one arm, and held a red rope in his hand, which fluttered in the wind, and the guard before the gate saw it, and immediately pushed open the gate, and let the man and his horse in.

After several examinations and interrogations, after the identity of this person was determined, the military information in his mouth was transmitted to a rather spacious study, and the one sitting in the middle was none other than one of the leaders of Duan Xianbei, Duan Ji Lu Dependent.

"Murong actually admitted defeat?"

Looking at what was written about the military intelligence, Duan Jilu's pupils suddenly dilated, and then he circulated the letter to everyone in the room.

At that moment, after someone read it, he smacked his lips and said: "It's not a surprise that the Murong Department lost, after all, even the Great General is not the opponent of Chen Thief, let alone his Murong Clan?" "This person is strong and wide, the voice is loud, at a glance it is a fierce general, his name is Duan Pi, it is the younger brother of Duan Ji Lu's family, he has practiced guns since he was a child, and he is a fierce general in the army.

As soon as Duan Batch's voice fell, others also echoed it, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

"The Chen clan is ferocious, not to mention the combat power, the head Chen thief stops, treacherous and cunning, intrigues and tricks, full of bad water, just look at his bright plank road, secretly Chen Cang, and capture General Wang alive, you know that this person is close to the realm of great success in the war, since he dares to attack the Murong clan, he must be prepared!"

"You are not wise after the fact, I remember that when the news first came, you were still very excited, saying that the Chen clan had won too much, and the mentality was inflated, so that they were desperate and brought about their own destruction, saying that it was the time for us to counterattack!"

"Didn't I still feel angry at that time, unwilling to be driven out of Youzhou by the Chen family? Aren't you, that Youzhou in the eyes of the Central Plains, is a barren place on the frontier, but compared to this Pingzhou can be regarded as a prosperous place, originally in Youzhou waiting to enjoy happiness, but had to flee in embarrassment, so far Pingzhou to hide, where can I stand it, and it is still summer, once it is winter, it is even worse! I want to go back! ”

It turned out that this group of them was the Xianbei branch of Duan Bu who was originally attached to Wang Jun, and with Wang Jun being arrested, the situation in Youzhou changed sharply, and the battle situation was reversed in an instant.

This Pingzhou is nominally the place where Wang Jun opened up his territory, and like the states of the Central Plains, he was named after it, and also set up counties, and the imperial court arranged for the county guards to come over the herdsmen, but in fact, the situation was complicated, it was a mixed land of Hu and Han, the same area, multiple forces were entrenched, and two different physiques were covered.

The prefectures and counties that nominally belonged to the imperial court were in fact difficult to understand the decrees, and were often confined to the cities, and did not affect the vast lands of Pingzhou and Liaodong at all.

Originally, the head of Pingzhou was actually the Murong Department, and the original location of Murong Thorn City was to the west of Pingzhou, which was a key node along with the Northeast, Middle Earth and the Grassland Desert.

As a result, because of Murong's implementation of sinicization and the encroachment of other forces, the power gradually moved westward, and even Thorn City was rebuilt several times, farther and farther away from Pingzhou, and now it is almost on the edge.

On the other hand, the Yuwen Department and the Duan Department in the southwest of the Murong Ministry, which were originally in the west of the Murong Ministry, slowly infiltrated Pingzhou and controlled a part of the land, which is exactly the characteristics of Chen Zhi and He Jing, He Jing and Murong Hao, as well as Murong Diao's father and son when they discussed their tribal territories.

At the beginning, Murong was divided, and Murong Tuyuhun led people away, and in the end, the two sides were far apart, which is the reason.

Now Youzhou has been robbed, Yuwen Department, Duan Department fled, since they want to run to a place with a foundation, this Pingzhou has become an ideal choice, Duan Ji Lu dependents of this part of the Duan Department of people, now in the territory of Liaodong County, where the city is located, called Wen County, to the south soon to the peninsula, can be like the sea, to the east is near Goguryeo, quite remote.

Listening to everyone's discussions, Duan Ji Lu was always silent, and after a round of conversation and venting from everyone, he looked at one person and asked, "Pi Yan, you should know the Chen family best, tell me, is there anything to take advantage of in the current situation?" The heavenly thunder mentioned in the military intelligence was caused by a single cannon, or was it a suspicious formation. ”

The person he watched, standing in the crowd, looked extremely low-key, it was Duan Piyan, who had previously been an envoy to Daijun, after Wang Jun's attack, Duan and Daijun were hostile, and the people of this section were rarely able to enter that Daijun again, and even if a few spies were sent in, they would be quickly recognized.

Not only that, but even the people who had arranged to lurk in the past were uprooted one by one, and some of them were simply used, and some false news came.

It was because of Duan Piyan, a few people who fled and escaped from Dai County, that they became very precious Zhidai factions, and they were often consulted by Duan Jilu's family.

At this moment, in the face of the inquiry, Duan Piyan said without hesitation: "It must be some kind of new weapon!" It is definitely not a demon law, a thunderbolt, or a single cannon, and as for the theory of the doubtful formation, it is not very likely. ”

"Oh?" Duan Jilu frowned and narrowed his eyes, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"When the younger brother was in that county, although he was restricted, he still inquired from all sides, and his subordinates went back and forth to collect news, and they knew that the Chen family had many workshops, many of which were craftsmen, and many Mo family ink people were co-opted, and the single cannon appeared, and in addition, this person had excellent craftsmanship, or there were other sharp weapons to hide, and now it is just to take it out."

"You think highly of that Chen." Duan Pi said on the side.

Duan Jian Lu was frowning, and reprimanded: "We fled all the way, it was not forced by the Chen family, General Wang was invincible, and he was also defeated by his people, and now he has lost his backer, and the tribe is divided when he is migrating, it is when he is weak, how dare you still look down on the Chen family?" It is not an exaggeration to regard him as a hero at that time! ”

When Duan Pi heard this, he immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Duan Ji Lu didn't look at him either, but frowned, and whispered: "I just don't know, where did this Chen family go after leaving Thorn City." He was worried that he would be pursued by Chen Zhi, and he was forced out of an alliance under the city.
