No one spoke anymore.
Due to the information asymmetry, Zhao Yongqian and others could not guess what was going on.
Several Zhao uncles turned around and walked back into the clan hall. "According to Yong Jin, the army will be here in a few hours. This is a serious matter, so let's all come in and discuss it."
Everyone turned back and followed him in one after another.
Before entering, Zhao Yongqian instructed his servants, "Go out and inform the troops on duty outside to report immediately if they see the Zhongshan army arriving."
"yes."
The servant's face turned pale with fear and he ran hurriedly to inform people.
………
The powerful Zhongshan army has entered Mo County.
Mo County is very safe, and there is not a single zombie to be seen.
After entering Mo County.
Wei Mingyuan and General Chen led their troops back from the front line and joined the main force.
Another 200 scouts set out along the border south of Mo County, passing through five counties to Guangping County to gather intelligence.
Wei Xiyin led his troops to the front.
At that time, Wei Mingyuan was integrating the army.
He said in a deep voice: "Wei Ling, Shi Le, listen to my orders!"
Wei Ling and Shi Le stood straight, took a step forward, and saluted with their fists clasped.
"You two will lead a thousand soldiers to Rao'an County immediately to garrison the border."
"yes!"
Raoan County is located south of Mo County, separated by five county towns, and is close to Guangping County.
If they set up their base camp in Hejian County, they could only garrison in the south near Guangping. They had to build the camp and stockpile wood before winter came to withstand the severe winter cold and the invasion of zombies.
Wei Ling was just about to set off when he saw his fifth cousin coming. He first saluted her and then busied himself directing the soldiers to escort the food and fodder.
In less than a moment.
More than ninety war horses from the rear came to the front, pulling a number of heavy carts loaded with food and iron nets, ready to follow Wei Ling with the flag.
Wei Lang became anxious when he saw this and hurried forward to find his sister.
"Sister, I want to go too, for my horse!" He had taken care of the horse for several days, so how could he just leave without saying anything? His horse, Buhei, was still inside.
The child was anxious.
Wei Xiyin thought for a moment. Erlang was a simple-minded man who couldn't hide anything. Maybe the Zhao family members could trick him into revealing something with just a few words.
He was very strong, and setting up camp and garrisoning was physical work, so he decided to go and help with the work for a few days.
He readily agreed, "Go ahead, take your soldiers with you, and obey Cousin Ling's orders."
"I know!" Wei Lang responded loudly.
The team was quickly assembled, and the group carried a lot of supplies needed for garrison and drove quickly on the official road.
Gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wei Mingyuan then turned to his niece and said, "The Zhao family's fort is less than twenty miles ahead. I believe they have received the news."
"That's right." Wei Xiyin nodded slightly.
They have been given enough time to think about how to respond. I hope Zhao won't let her down too much.
General Chen couldn't help but grumble, "The Zhao family didn't even set up defenses on the border. There's not even a single person at the boundary marker."
Along the way, they saw only barricades and wooden fences at the border, but no patrol team.
“Not enough manpower.”
Wei Xiyin replied kindly, "It's probably just the past few days that no one has been left at the border. The ten counties under the jurisdiction of Hejian County and the nearby county towns need people to clean up, and they're also busy preparing for winter, cultivating farmland, and searching for supplies..."
Zhao has done a very good job.
The troops suffered heavy casualties and had no soldiers left. They relied on the power of some scholars to hijack grain, clear out the area under their jurisdiction, and jointly defend their homeland.
Not every clan can achieve these things.
The only thing that made Wei Xiyin feel helpless was that they were so close, but they didn't go to Guangping to investigate the situation first.
She sighed, "The Zhao family is too busy taking care of themselves to take care of Guangping, which has increased our workload."
There was another thing that puzzled her...
Why didn't the Shifang Sect take action against the Zhao family?
If we are targeting the aristocratic families, the Zhao family is closer than the Qinghe Wei family, so the situation of the major aristocratic families in Hejian County should be easier to grasp.
Are you concerned?
Or is the Zhao family in cahoots with them?
Wei Xiyin thought so and naturally told her third uncle her guess truthfully.
Wei Mingyuan stood upright, his voice low and firm, "What's the situation? We'll naturally get the answer once we find the Shifang Sect."
"Guangping is currently a mixed bag. We will station our rear garrison in Hejian County. As long as the Zhongshan army is there, the Zhao family will be in constant fear and will not dare to act rashly."
Indeed, there are foreign troops stationed on our own territory, and the strength of the two sides is very different.
Wei Xiyin put herself in his shoes. If there was an army stronger than the Wei family stationed directly in Ling County or Qinghe County, she would feel uneasy just thinking about it.
No one would not be panicked.
The army did not stay there for too long and began to march towards Zhao's Fort.
Zhao's followers and militia had already received the news and were waiting on the official road as if they were facing a great enemy.
When they came over just now, they happened to meet Wei Ling who was escorting a supply cart to the border, and the two sides met face to face.
Wei Ling nodded slightly as a greeting, and then escorted a long supply cart straight past them.
Zhao’s followers: “…” Having not received any orders, they didn’t know how to react for a moment and could only watch them dragging their things away.
It didn't take long before a huge army appeared in sight.
The large army marched slowly forward, its ranks stretching to the horizon, seemingly endless, emitting an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.
