County government office.

Ding Zhenyuan stood in front of a beautiful map of the country and stood with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he asked without looking back:

"How is the situation inquiry?"

An old man in green had stood at the door at some point, bent down and saluted, saying:

"Returning to the Lord, Xue Zhili swept across the three counties and was coming to Beichen County. Our people heard that there were 800 bandits and more than 2,000 refugees. After breaking the three counties, there were already 20,000."

"Xue Zhili was the feudal General Ping and wanted to unify Wenchang Mansion. The next stop is ours."

Before the three armies moved, intelligence came first.

In half a year, Ding Zhenyuan initially built an intelligence network across the neighboring governments.

Currently, the main focus is on the surrounding areas of Beichen County, monitoring the inside and outside, and collecting intelligence.

It is mainly covered by carriages and horses and businessmen, and is slowly laid out.

It is still relatively fragile at present. Apart from Beichen County, we can only inquire about public news and rumors.

The victory is that the message is delivered quickly and comprehensively, and you can roughly understand the overall situation and avoid being a blind or deaf person with lagging behind the message.

In order to quickly form this intelligence organization, 50,000 or 60,000 taels have been invested in, and then it is only possible to set up the airs, which is still far from truly playing a role.

"Xue Zhili, have you found out the details of this person?"

"The Lord, together with Xue Zhili's subordinates, and their background experiences have been summarized into a book."

"Well, you go back first."

The old man in green bowed and retreated.

Ding Zhenyuan was holding a thin booklet and flipping through it page by page.

Xue Zhili was born in a maritime business family. When he was a teenager, he was rampant in the countryside. He often made friends with heroes and joined Ren Xia.

Later, he killed someone and fled overseas on a boat. He secretly came back a few years ago. He heard that he and his confidants had joined a sect called Nestorianism.

Based on the dualism of light and darkness, Nestorianism believes in the god of the two snakes of creation, and believes that the world was born in the battle between the two snakes of creation.

This is a sect with a mysterious origin. It is said to have originated from outside the domain and is a complete cult.

"Xue Zhili used Nestorian doctrine to fool the people, compiled 800 elite soldiers, and broke the three counties, and was very powerful!"

This is no longer an ordinary rioter and bandit.

There are arsenals and granaries in the county town. They are kept carefully in wartime and are kept carefully on weekdays.

Now that the city is broken, it is naturally all over Xue Zhili.

If you get a granary, you can recruit soldiers and horses. Nowadays, you can easily lead a team with food. After all, there are too many people who can't eat.

With the weapons and equipment in the arsenal, the three counties can be armed at least two or three thousand people.

"When he captured Changchun County, Xue Zhili used deceit and tricks, and unexpectedly attacked him, and then entered the city. At this time, there were only three or four hundred mobs, but he only cut wood into soldiers."

"In just over ten days, three thousand people were found, each with weapons."

"After that, the bandits in Nanyang County were repelled and all the big families in the county were slaughtered. At this time, it became a climate. It was also called equalizing the fields and freeing grain to buy people's hearts, and its reputation spread and became a climate."

"Then they swept across the three counties, selected brave and brave people, and compiled eight hundred elite soldiers, each with armor, and everyone moved forward, with almost unstoppable momentum."

"To this day, the little force in the city alone is not his opponent at all."

Ding Zhenyuan's face was as calm as water, but he just calmly judged the situation of the enemy and us.

"Xue Zhili is supported by Nestorians and is good at bewitching people's hearts. He has many people who are brave and fearless in their battles and are full of morale."

"He is now in the momentum of his attack on the three counties, and his troops are several times higher than me. He will definitely be defeated when he goes out of the city and fights."

"You can only defend the city but not leave..."

"well·········"

He sighed quietly, and he paced in the hall, thinking slowly.

Xue Zhili is not Yi and others. Just from his past stories, you can see that this person is difficult to deal with.

If it weren't for this, the previous three counties would not have fallen easily.

"The wind and rain are coming..."

··········

On the eaves, black tiles and drizzle of rain merge into a stream and flow down the tiles.

"The wind and rain have arrived..."

Ruochen was in the inn, looking at the rain in the courtyard.

The large inns in the city often have a series of small courtyards behind them, which are suitable for guests to live there.

This is one of the small courtyards, with a monthly rent of 2 taels.

He followed the order of his master and came here for ten days.

Suddenly, I felt a little hot in my arms.

He hurried back to the inner room and took out a small silver mirror.

With a touch of his hand, the mirror showed the scene of Mr. Ming Dao's big sleeves facing the wind. From the background, he was roughly located on the hillside.

Straws of clouds and mist filled the mountain road, making Mr. Mingdao become more and more powerful.

Unfortunately, he broke the atmosphere as soon as he spoke.

"Good disciple, did you see the wise master and give me a gift?"

Ruochen replied respectfully:

"I haven't seen that Ding County Master yet."

"I spent ten days traveling around the streets and alleys, teahouses, theaters, casinos and brothels. I learned that this Ding County Honored Official has a very good reputation and is known as the blue sky among the people."

The figure in the mirror is slightly sunk.

"It is not surprising that those who can accomplish great things have their own extraordinary points."

"This is just a habitual invitation to buy people's hearts."

"It's just a habitual power and no way of kings."

There is a lot of disdain between words.

"If you are obsessed with power and not understanding the great way of governing chaos, you are a mediocre lord, not a wise lord."

"Amixed with hundreds of schools of thought, supplemented by kings and dominance, movement and yin and yang, and with hills and valleys in their hearts. Even if this type of person does not have the destiny of heaven and earth, he can accomplish things by relying on the expectations of all people, and can also turn into dragons and become a true wise master."

"Ruochen, remember that what you don't believe in the most in life is fate and skills!"

"What destiny, what earth veins, and what Feng Shui are all empty and fake. Pursuing these is like catching the moon in the water, it is just a fantasy."

"My Qionghua's remains do not believe in destiny or fortune, but only practices the four words "Direction of Heaven" and takes this as the basis for your own life... You must remember it!"

To outsiders, Ming Dao, who is proficient in Feng Shui and Geography and calculates fortunes, actually said such words, is simply incredible.

"Pupil keep it in mind!"

Ruochen recorded the four words "man conquering nature", although he may not really understand it at this time.

"Well, Chen'er, you continue to say, what's the situation now?"

"yes!"

"Recently, a bandit has emerged in this area, known as General Jianping, sweeping across the three counties and is coming here."

"The disciple has contacted several wealthy families who have formed a passion for incense. When he learned about this person's background, it is suspected that there are outsiders involved."

"There are heretics? Is it the Nestorian?"

The person in the mirror pondered and said nothing.

Ruochen was just waiting.
Chapter completed!
