Dingchuan Village is the first line of defense of Zhenrong Army outside the trenches built by Cao Wei, and it also monitors the valley entrance of Huluchuan, Tiandu Mountain. The terrain here is wide and forms a complete defense system with nearby Liufan Fort, Yangma City, etc.

After breaking up with Liu Yi, Dong Shilian traveled day and night until Dingchuan Village, and then he completely relieved and went to see the guards here.

Hearing that he brought the secret letter from Xu Ping, the Longyou Protector, Guo Lun, the leader of Dingchuan Village, did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly sent a team of troops to escort them to the Zhenrong Army. From the administrative construction, this area was under the jurisdiction of the Zhenrong Army, and when Dong Shilian arrived there, he completed his mission.

The border prefecture army was in wartime, and the military commander-in-chief was a civil and military commander, and also had a system of food. The soldiers came to report that the military commander-in-chief Cao Ying was having lunch with the military commander-in-chief Tian Jing and said to him: "The Hao thief was poor in the Tiandu Mountains, and the surrounding area was in chaos. Why did Dong Shilian say that he came from Longyou? How could he know the truth or false?"

Before Tian Jing passed the Jinshi, he was also a very honest and fond person. He happened to be familiar with Dong Shilian and said, "I know this Dong Shilian. When I was studying, I used to drink and talk about it. Whether it was true or false, I would tell at the sight of it as soon as I put it in the city."

After hearing this, Cao Ying stopped hesitating and ordered the soldiers to go to the cup and take Dong Shilian and others to the official hall.

As soon as he saw Dong Shilian dressed in a strange manner, Tian Jing smiled and said, "It's indeed Brother Dong! I've been together for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here. I'll undoubtedly see you when I see you, but this look is something that others can't dress up!"

Cao Ying had no doubts anymore and had met everyone. He sat down and ordered tea.

Dong Shilian sang a promise and said, "Public affairs are important. Since we meet the Zhijun and the Tongzong, Xu Dupu's military order can be handed over."

After saying that, he took a wrist-removing knife from his arms and took out the wax balls from the inside of his thigh. This secret letter must be taken out in person and delivered. Everyone was not surprised, so Cao Ying hurriedly ordered the soldiers to call the military doctor.

When Dong Shilian was asked to bandage him, Cao Ying asked, "I wonder if he said he would hand over the order to the custody of the army?"

Although the blood flowed from his legs, Dong Shilian was still talking and laughing and said: "This military order was originally intended to be the deputy of this route to serve as Ma Shuai, but it will also spread throughout the surrounding cities. Although the Zhijun is opened, and after the news of Ma Shuai will be given there."

Cao Ying nodded, and with Tian Jing, he went to the wax clothes to read the contents of the secret letter.

There was not much content in the letter, but just instructed Ren Fu not to take risks. After arriving at Zhenrong Army, he should be steadfast and not risk attacking the Dangxiang Army that left Tiandu Mountain. The direction of Xiaoguan on the northern road was completely ignored. Just guard against Yuan Hao to go east. Other directions were to send troops to guard the Longyou Protectorate's Office. Another thing was to send orders to the surrounding cities and villages of Zhenrong Army. No matter where the troops came from, they would be subject to Ren Fu's control and accept unified command. Those who do not obey Ren Fu's orders would be considered as disobeying the military orders.

After reading the secret letter, Cao Ying said to Tian Jing: "I didn't expect that Xu Dudu has a strategy to control Hao's thieves. We just need to guard the city and do not need to go out to fight the thieves. Ren Mashuai did not get this order, and he was determined to defeat the enemy and divided his troops into two groups, but he was incompatible with the Dudufu's strategy. We had already sent Dudu inspector Chang Ding and his co-inspector Liu Su to see him. While his army had not left, we should urgently pass this order."

With Xu Ping's secret letter coming, there was also a secret letter that Han Qi entrusted him to temporarily manage Ren Fu's troops. Cao Ying and others naturally would not have any objection to Xu Ping's order. Furthermore, the successive battles in Longyou gave the Song army on the border with infinite confidence. In the hearts of Cao Ying, Tian Jing and others, they also hoped that Xu Ping was commanding the battle, and Han Qi was not very trustworthy.

Tian Jing said: "Geng's army has brought troops to Kaiyuan Fort, not far from here. Why not do this? Let's send fast horses to Zhangjia Fort first, let Deputy Ren know about the deployment. Then send someone to Kaiyuan Fort and tell him the command strategy of Xu Dupu."

After Dong Shilian completed his mission, he was relieved in Zhenrongjun City. He once accepted the exam, passed the provincial examination, and was demoted in the palace examination. With this great achievement, he would inevitably have an official position after the war.

Geng Fu served as a third squad. Later, he changed his literary resources and was moved to the magistrate of Qingzhou. Later, he participated in the military affairs of Han Qi. There was a successful method of changing the literary resources of the military. He had to go through several exams and recommended him. There were fixed quotas every year. It was not easy to get this opportunity. Geng Fu was also a man who liked to be a chivalrous and was fond of military affairs, so Han Qi asked him, a civil servant, to join the army, to restrain Ren Fu, who was determined to make meritorious contributions. Since it was sent by Han Qi, Geng Fu was somewhat similar to the role of a military supervisor in the previous dynasty.

This is the characteristic of this era. Since the military system is the commander of the three yamen, the Privy Council dispatched troops, and the commander ministers used troops, and the commander ministers were the commander officials on the front line. Traditionally, most eunuchs and military supervisors rely on small reports. The one who can really interfere with the commander generals' use of troops was Geng Fu, a close confidant sent by the commander ministers. Ren Fu did not go along with him, mainly because of this reason.

Zhao Yu, the inspector of the border, was sent by Cao Ying. He went to Kaiyuan Fort to meet Geng Fu and told him about Xu Ping's arrangements. Since Xu Ping emphasized that Ren Fu was the main general on the front line of the Rong army, everyone else was controlled by him, Geng Fu was the first person to notify him.

After entering the official hall, Zhao Yu sang a promise to Geng Fu with his hands and said, "I will meet with the army in the future and will have the order of Xu Du Guardian."

After saying that, he recited the secret letter Han Qi had given to Xu Ping and the secret letter Xu Ping came, and said: "For the current plan, joining the army with Ma Shuai should join the Zhenrong Army as soon as possible, and follow the Xu Dumao strategy to discuss the major plan."

Geng Fu had no objection. His differences with Ren Fu were mainly against recklessness, and Xu Ping's arrangement was just right. Seeing that it was getting late, Geng Fu said: "The commander of the magistrate should be a good idea, and it is a good idea. It is getting late. The inspector can stay in the fort overnight and go to Zhenrong Army with me tomorrow morning. Wait for the deputy to deploy, and then discuss strategies to respond to the enemy."

He ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and Geng Fu and the governor Zhao Shu were accompanying him.

After drinking for several rounds, Zhao led Zhao Yu and said, "The inspector brothers have made many great contributions in the Longyou Army over the past year, and I am very proud of it when I heard about it."

Speaking of his younger brother Zhao Xun, Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Wealth and honor will have a destiny. Last year, when Yu Zang Huama, he was transferred to Qinfeng Road. It was the right thing for him to make his fortune. He has made many military achievements this year, and now he is the commander-in-chief of the Second General in the Qingshuo Army."

The organization of the Longyou army was roughly outlined. Each army had a normal organization of more than 30,000 people, divided into five generals. However, except for Sang Yi and Gao Daquan, the other three soldiers were insufficient and were not satisfied. Liu Jianji's Qingshuo Army had only three generals, the first general was Liu Hu, and Zhao Xun was the second general, and his official position was far above his brother.

Geng Fu advised him another glass of wine before asking Zhao Yu: "The Qingshuo Army is attacking the foreign thief Xishou Military Supervisor. I heard that it is going well, but I don't know why he has not arrived in Xishou City for a long time. Did you hear General Zhao say that it is because of this?"

Xishou went to Xiaoguan for more than 100 miles. Once it was broken, it would block Yuanhao's road to north. The war there was the most concern of the generals in the Zhenrong Army. After hearing Xu Ping's arrangement, he said that Ren Fu's army did not need to be in charge of the northern route. Geng Fu guessed that the Longyou army might be quite sure to keep the Xiaoguan road. If you can get the exact news from Zhao Yu, of course it would be best, but you could persuade Ren Fu and keep the Zhenrong Army honestly.
