It is said that the entire Dangqu City was immediately handed over to the Jingzhou Army. In fact, there are many procedures for the transfer of troops, and they have to be done step by step in three or five days. During these three or five days, the Jingzhou Army still had to be stationed in the military camp outside the city.

Lei Yuan and Pang Xi agreed on the candidates for specific matters and soon came out of the city.

The group stood under the city wall and looked up at the simple and solemn walls. They all felt that what they had just seen was not a person, but an old fox; and there must be something hidden under the old fox's expression.

"This is not normal." Gan Ning scratched his ears and shook his head, "Pang Xi is not so easy to talk to. If you want to dig a piece of meat from his mouth, you have to take off a few layers of skin."

"What must have happened around him, so that he abandoned Dangqu and retreated back to Langzhong." Jian Yong looked heavy: "It's nothing big to do if this person said, it's probably a false statement."

Lei Yuan looked at the surrounding villages and fields: "I'm afraid, what is going to happen?"

It was hot and hot, but everyone felt a little chill in their hearts.

When crossing mountains and ridges, most of the energy was spent fighting against the difficulties and hardships of the journey, so they didn’t have the time or energy to imagine the scene after arriving at the destination. Now they came to Dangqu and truly felt the tension.

Lei Yuan himself is the same. After all, he is no longer the young man who fled in a panic in the mountains. He has a family, a subordinate, and a career, so he has concerns and concerns. Moreover, he is in panic and in Lexiang, and he is not sure whether he has set up a large number of posts to predict the enemy's actions in advance when he arrives in Yizhou. He really feels darkness... He doesn't know what happened outside his own sight, and it is because he doesn't know that it is particularly terrifying.

"Everyone will go back to the camp, and I will go and find Pang Xi again and have a private talk?" Jian Yong asked.

Lei Yun shook his head: "No need. Since he has decided, there will be no air in his mouth."

Gan Ning lowered his voice: "Or, we will order troops to enter the city tonight, capture Pang Xi, and ask what's going on."

The other three shook their heads: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate."

If you do this, even if you succeed for a while, the defensive attitude you show will fall into the eyes of the scholars in Yizhou, you will be afraid that it will arouse a large-scale vigilance and will hinder Duke Xuande's plan... This is not what subordinates should do.

Gan Ning frowned and said, "Then we can only let him go? After he ran away, what's the matter with us?"

Lei Yuan wanted to answer that if things are inconsistent, we can also go. But this place is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and such a long distance has increased the difficulty of retreating alone, which is almost unimaginable. Retreat is just the last choice.

Li Yi was thinking, and suddenly said, "There must be something, but it may not be an urgent matter."

Lei Yuan asked, "How can I see it?"

Li Yi had a fist-sized scar on his cheeks on both sides of his left and right sides, which made his appearance look a bit terrifying, but this became a proof of experience among the soldiers. He replied: "The day we arrived at Dangqu was five days later than expected. If there was any urgent change of 100,000 yuan, where did Pang Xi have the courage to wait for us for five days?"

"It's reasonable." Lei Yuan nodded.

The few people discussed it for a while, and they all thought: "Why go with the flow, take over the defense of Dangqu first, settle the people down, and then find out."

At this time, the group approached their own military camp.

Everyone saw Lei Cheng's troops pushing the baggage vehicles to the periphery to form a simple line of defense; after the line of defense, the swords, shields, spears, and crossbowmen were ready to take shape and made a defensive posture. Under the protection of the chariot array, Feng Xi ordered the rest of the troops to start building the camp. It was just a temporary camp, not too big, but because of the lush surrounding trees, deer antlers, towers, walls, etc. gradually were ready, and there was a trench about four or five feet deep, running across the front of the camp gate.

The mountain road that is most suitable for marching is parallel to the trench and passes through the front of the camp gate. Standing here, we look towards the mountain road, and we can see winding river valleys and deep forests.

Lei Yuan nodded to express his satisfaction. Just now, he thought that the camp here guarding the exit of the mountain road must be firmly controlled. If something happens that causes one's side to retreat, then this is the only way to retreat to Jingzhou.

As for going to Langzhong or to the Shanjian Man tribe, Lei Yuan does not need to consider this possibility for the time being.

The forces that may be encountered here are nothing more than the Zhang Lu, Cao army, Bajun barbarian troops and Yizhou army in Hanzhong. Although the first two are great enemies, the latter two are not necessarily reliable unless they invest enough time and energy to exert influence.

He called a entourage and said, "The command to keep the soldiers on guard and be on duty in batches at night, drinking water and food must be carefully inspected. In addition, the capable personnel were dispatched to occupy the high places around the camp to observe."

The entourage left and the generals went to the central army tent.

After walking a few steps, Lei Yuan thought that Wang Ping should still be in the camp. He is a member of the local voyeur clan of Dangqu, and must be familiar with the surrounding trends, so he called his entourage again: "You go find Wang Ping... Well, it's He Ping, let him come to see me immediately."

Because Lei Yuan solicited him in public, the soldiers no longer treated He Ping as if he were ordinary guides. His fellow tribes were also treated preferentially, and when setting up the camp, they were left with a special tabernacle.

The entourage hurried to the tent and went in and saw He Ping.

He asked, "Where is He Ping?"

Another guide replied: "When I was going out to investigate and camp, someone from the clan came and summoned him for urgent matters. So He Ping didn't take a leave and left first."

The entourage went back to report.

Lei Yuan stopped slightly and frowned.

Let’s not talk about whether this person is the Wang Ping that Lei Yuan knew. Since he was the guide of the army, he was bound by military law. In the past few days, he should have understood that if there is any urgent matter in the clan, it is a serious crime to leave the team without authorization.

What's more, the lives of Ba people and Juren have always been bad. Lei Yuan recruited barbarians and coolies in Yidu County. The conditions were very ordinary, which had already attracted them to come like moths to the fire. Once they had the opportunity to become officials of the court, it would be a huge difference. It was strange that He Ping did not flatter him in the army, but did not say goodbye.

Lei Yuan thought: "I saw that he was a very energetic person before, so why did he leave just by saying that? Could it be..."

He vaguely made some judgments, but he was not sure.

Gan Ning asked: "Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Let's see what happens." Lei Yuan smiled.

The current situation is really confusing. After all, it is a guest army in Yizhou, and it is normal for him to be intentionally or unintentionally rejected by all parties, so it is actually normal that he cannot understand the situation. Isn’t the reason why Duke Xuande sent a group of troops to Yizhou to try to change this situation?

Next, you might as well take the initiative to do something, whether it is throwing a stone to ask for directions or alerting the snake. What is the secret below the water surface? Let's see what successors are.
