Wei Xiyin thought that they were only camping here for one night and the area around had been cleared by the Zhao family of Hejian, so she ordered that there was no need to go through the trouble of making roadblocks with chevaux de frise and that they could just use the iron nets they carried with them to block the area.
In those special carriages at the rear.
It is filled with specially designed iron nets, and thick wooden boards are made into slender compartments, so the iron nets can be moved vertically onto the vehicle for transportation.
It was so heavy that it required two war horses to pull it.
The bottom of the iron net is a triangular structure with a long sharp cone at the bottom. It is firmly inserted into the ground and then fixed with iron wire in pairs to form a circle.
The strength is enough to defend against ordinary zombies.
Everything is settled.
Wei Xiyin called her troops over, "It's been sitting out all day. Let Qin Shan bring that Zhao family member over here."
We will arrive at Zhao's Fort in a few days, it's time to give them some sweet treats.
"yes!"
The soldier trotted over to inform.
Qin Shan and his men quickly arrived outside the girls' tent.
"My lady, the person has been brought here."
A woman's faint voice came from inside the tent, "Well, come in."
Zhao Yongjin was in a trance... The voice sounded extremely young, as if it was a young lady?
While he was distracted, the tent curtain was lifted by the soldiers waiting at the door, and Qin Shan pulled people in.
The person who came into view was indeed a young lady with a heroic appearance!
Seeing someone coming, Wei Xiyin immediately put on a smile, "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Zhao. How rude! Qin Shan, why don't you untie him quickly?"
"Yes." Qin Shan cooperated naturally and untied the ropes on Zhao Yongjin.
Zhao Yongjin was clearly distracted. He murmured, "Are you the commander of the Zhongshan Army?"
Wei Xiyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "I guess so. Why? Does Mr. Zhao think there's something wrong?"
This is a big problem!
How could a woman who looked a few years younger than him be leading the troops!
Wei Xiyin acted as if she hadn't noticed his reaction and continued, "Yesterday, our scouts discovered some activity in Fushui County. Young Master Zhao, you may not know that we've encountered quite a few villains who wanted to rob our food..."
"The military must deliberately avoid crowds when marching. If they cannot avoid them, they should naturally capture them and ask their identities clearly."
"But I'm so busy with so many things every day that I can't take care of everything going on down there. I only received the news today, and I'm sorry that Zhao Langjun has suffered."
She then said seriously, "I failed to control my subordinates. I cannot deny the blame. Please give me a chance to make amends. I will personally escort Mr. Zhao back to the Zhao Clan Fortress and apologize to the elders of the Zhao Clan."
Naturally, Qin Shan took the blame.
Zhao Yongjin was stunned, "Aren't you here for the fort?" But... Commander Qin clearly knew his identity yesterday.
"I acted on my own initiative and did not report it to you in time. Please forgive me." Qin Shan bowed his head and saluted.
Wei Xiyin gave Qin Shan a faint "hmm" before switching to a smile and saying to Zhao Yongjin, "What are you thinking about, Mr. Zhao? We are leading our troops on a hurried march to Guangping County to investigate the situation of Governor Gong."
"I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows what Guangping County is like?"
Zhao Yongjin always felt that something was wrong, but when he heard that they were not coming for the Zhao family fortress, but were rushing to Guangping County, he finally put down the heavy stone in his heart.
To get from Zhongshan State to Guangping, one does have to pass through Hejian County.
Zhongshan had no grudges against the Zhao family, so naturally they would not be targeting them specifically.
There is nothing wrong with what this girl said.
Finally reassured, he spoke, "Although Guangping is very close to Hejian, my Zhao family was busy surviving, rescuing the people, and building high walls in the early days. Later, we were responsible for clearing out the monsters within our jurisdiction. I really don't know much about the situation in Guangping."
He was wary of the fact that someone from the Zhao family discovered that the Yizhou army was heading towards Guangping in winter, but he didn't say anything.
The person in charge of the five southern counties this time was an uncle. Zhao Yongjin had been away from the fort for more than a month and did not know the progress of the other personnel, so it was naturally difficult for him to say anything.
After hearing this, Wei Xiyin sighed in a mock manner, "Even if you didn't send anyone out, but we're so close, yet Governor Gong didn't send troops to Hejian County to investigate the disaster. It seems Guangping is in danger!"
"The girl is absolutely right. I think so too." Zhao Yongjin agreed very much.
Previously, members of the Zhao clan had speculated that Guangping County might be in danger, so when the second cousin proposed to send someone to Guangping to investigate the news, he was met with opposition.
As for the known results, there are many dangers along the way, the fort is facing internal and external troubles, the direct descendants are stranded outside, and the clan is short of manpower. It is really not appropriate to take the risk of intervening in matters outside the county.
"But why does the girl want to lead troops to Guangping County?" Zhao Yongjin was a little confused.
Zhongshan is so far away, even if Guangping County is full of monsters, it will not affect them for a while.
He thought Wei Xiyin was from Zhongshan State.
According to normal thinking, the soldiers below were all from the Zhongshan Army, and the leader should naturally be a nobleman from the Zhongshan Kingdom. So after being shocked, he naturally and arbitrarily determined the girl's identity.
He must be the descendant of a general.
No one asked, and no one brought it up.
Wei Xiyin confided to him with a worried look on her face, "Young Master Zhao, you may not know this, but our elders are worried about the people of Yizhou and have been unable to eat or drink all day. He wants to do something for the people of Yizhou and restore peace to the world. As the younger generation, we naturally have to relieve his worries and go to Guangping to understand the situation."
Zhao Yongjin was shocked. In this world where most people can barely protect themselves, it was hard to believe that someone could still think about the people of Yizhou. He was deeply impressed and said, "Your father is a man of great righteousness!"
No wonder, no wonder the commander of the Zhongshan Army was a woman.
With elders like this who care about the country and the people, the younger generations must be no worse.
However, what is the identity of this girl? Why did the King of Zhongshan allow her to lead so many troops out? Could she be a relative of the King of Zhongshan?
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Zhao."
Wei Xiyin spoke modestly, then immediately put on a serious face and said, "The safety of Governor Gong is of great importance, so we want to rush to Guangping to find out what's going on."
Zhao Yongjin bowed again after hearing this. "How dare I delay you, young lady? Now that the misunderstanding has been explained, you can let us go home on our own."
That won’t work!
How can he let the duck that he has already got fly away?
Wei Xiyin waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm not good enough at handling this matter. Mr. Zhao doesn't have to refuse. Since we have to pass through Mo County, how can we not enter? As the younger generation, we should naturally pay a visit to the Zhao clan leader."
"I used to often hear my grandfather mention that Patriarch Zhao was devoted to the clan. He resigned from his official position and returned home to focus on educating the younger generation and cultivating talents for the family. He was truly admirable..."
Zhao Yongjin: “…”
He thought about it and said truthfully: "To be honest, the clan leader has passed away..." Even if he didn't say it now, they would know it when they arrived at Zhao's Fortress.
Wei Xiyin gasped when she heard this, her expression suddenly darkening, "What a pity, Master Zhao, I offer my condolences."
Zhao Yu is dead, so who is in charge of the Zhao family now?
Wei Xiyin remained calm and continued to ask questions.
