Now I am planning to come here to discuss with Xi Zhicai to see if Mr. Xi has any solution that can solve the problem once and for all.
After he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai fell into deep thought, pacing back and forth in the hall, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Xi Zhi came back to his senses, his calm eyes fell on Zhang Song, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "City Lord Zhang, this matter is not as simple as you think."
"In the past, were there such bandits around our territory who dared to offend us? Usually when those bandits saw the lord's flag, they would have gone as far away as possible and hid as far away as possible."
"It's good now. After waiting for so long, Dong Zhuo didn't come. Instead, we waited for these bandits."
"Don't City Lord Zhang think that these bandits are actually cannon fodder sent by Dong Zhuo to find out the news?"
"A group of bandits is nothing to worry about. What really matters to me is the people behind these bandits."
"My lord said before leaving that we should not only be careful about Dong Zhuo, but also be careful about visitors from outside the world!"
"Some time ago, Feng Xiao came back with news that there were 100,000 troops hoarding outside the military camp in Qilian Mountain, ready to attack the military camp."
"As for my lord, the number of soldiers they have in the military camp is probably less than 20,000 at full strength. What does this mean? Six times as many troops as our own are hoarded outside the military camp, and it may not be the entire strength of the other party!"
"So, we are bound to encounter some attacks here."
"In addition to Dong Zhuo, we also have to guard against these extraterrestrial visitors!"
"Have you sent out all the people you asked you to send out to find out the information before?"
Xi Zhicai rubbed his swollen temples and felt that things were becoming more and more unpredictable.
Let’s not talk about the military camp in Qilian Mountain.
With Guo Jia here, even though he faced soldiers and horses six times his own, as long as he arranged them properly and relied on the favorable location, he could still hold the camp and cause damage to the enemy.
He wasn't worried about things over there at all.
The reason why I want to bring this matter up is to give Zhang Song a heads up, to let him know how scary those people are, to be prepared, and not to neglect them.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Song's face instantly darkened. After a moment of pondering, he spoke and asked, "Do you need to send some people over to the Qilian Mountains for support?"
"No need! Right now, our primary goal is to keep the territory! Other times, it won't be too late to talk about it later." Xi Zhicai replied.
Just as he was talking, he heard soldiers outside coming to report that Dian Wei was back and had something important to report.
Hearing this, Xi Zhi raised his eyebrows, but without any hesitation, he immediately walked out of the hall and saw Dian Wei in the courtyard.
"The general is back! The people below came to report just now, saying that the general has something important to report. I wonder what it is?" Xi Zhicai asked.
Dian Wei's face instantly became serious and he replied: "Sir, these days I am out fighting bandits, and at the same time I am also looking for the origins of those bandits."
"You won't know if you don't look for it. If you look for it, you'll be shocked! Those bandits are all Dong Zhuo's people!"
"Moreover, in recent days, the number of refugees pouring into our territory has increased. When I first came back, I saw three to five hundred refugees at the gate of the city fleeing towards the city. They wanted to enter the city to save their lives, but they were blocked by the defenders.
The soldiers stopped me and said it was the Lord of the City’s wish.”
After saying that, Dian Wei's eyes fell on Zhang Song who was walking from a distance, with a somewhat questioning look on his eyebrows.
"That's what I meant." Zhang Song replied without denying it.
"First of all, in the past few days, the number of refugees coming to the city has increased significantly. These people have unknown origins and unknown identities. They need to be carefully screened, lest there are some people with ulterior motives among them."
"Secondly, if there are so many people in the city all of a sudden, there are no regulations on how to deal with them in the future. So this time I came to see you, not only to ask about the bandits, but also to ask for your advice.
How should we resettle these refugees?"
It is precisely because of these two reasons that Zhang Song does not think it is a bad thing to exclude these refugees.
At least, in this way, there will be fewer safety hazards in the city!
Hearing this, Xi Zhi nodded with a look of understanding on his face: "City Lord, you have handled this matter very well. You really cannot let down your guard against those refugees. If you are not careful, you will give them an opportunity to take advantage of them."
Opportunity."
"General, you send someone to bring some food and clothing out, and build some sheds outside, so that those people can live outside for a while. It won't be too late to bring them in after this extraordinary period."
"General, I have your order." Dian Wei bowed his hands and bowed, without hesitation, he turned and walked away.
After Dian Wei left, Xi Zhicai's eyes fell on Zhang Song and added: "I would also like to ask Mr. He to go to the medical clinic and ask Mr. He to lead the young gentlemen to sit in the clinic at the gate of the city."
Hearing this, Zhang Song nodded, and after taking only two steps, he froze in place, as if he remembered something, and said:
"By the way, sir. There have been a lot of refugees pouring into the city in the past few days. The number is far more than before. This is not a normal phenomenon. Could it be because of the arrival of the group of extraterrestrial visitors that forced the refugees into the city?"
"It is inevitable that there are people with evil intentions among them, and they need to be investigated strictly."
"Maybe we can hear some outside news from these people's mouths."
Hearing this, Xi Zhi raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then replied: "What City Lord Zhang said is reasonable. We must be on guard against this matter. I will arrange for someone to investigate."
Zhang Song left, and Xi Zhicai stood alone in the hall, pacing back and forth, not knowing what he was thinking.
About a quarter of an hour later, his running back and forth stopped. A goshawk flew over from outside the yard, with a letterbox on his ankle.
Taking out the letter paper from the mailbox and reading it carefully for a while, Xi Zhicai's worried face revealed a smile.
After waiting for so long, finally there is good news!
The news came from Guo Jia. He was talking about the battle situation last night. He had conquered the enemy twice, wiped out 20,000 enemy troops, and narrowed the gap between us and the enemy.
Seeing this, the smile on Xi Zhicai's face became a little thicker, and he slowly exhaled from his mouth, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
This guy did a pretty good job!
I didn’t bring shame on someone, and I didn’t cultivate him in vain!
Xi Zhicai was filled with emotion in his heart, but he was not overly happy. Instead, he wrote back a letter, warning Guo Jia not to get carried away. At this time, he had to be more cautious and not to make any mistakes.
After the carrier pigeon took away the envelope, Xi Zhicai's eyes fell on the parchment map in front of him.
