In front of a house not far from the Miao people's courtyard, the courtyard door was closed.

The Miao man calmly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who are you?" The person who opened the door was an old man. Seeing that the Miao people were very unfamiliar, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Please tell me, my father-in-law, that an old man from the capital is passing through Zhe County and came to visit!" the Miao man said with a smile.

"Please wait a moment!" The old man closed the door in confusion, then turned around and went to inform.

The rules these days are a little different from those of later generations. Those who come to visit are usually invited by the host.

It would be rude if the host came without inviting you.

If the host forgets to invite you to come today and he is not at home when you come, that would be rude to the host.

Generally, people with a certain status will have a person around them who will record the owner's invitation records and remind the owner at any time when someone will come to visit and when to visit others.

And when strangers come, expect to be rejected.

If the host is in a good mood, he is too lazy to argue with you. If he is in a bad mood, then you will be on the host's blacklist.

But what the Miao people said at this moment was a code word.

"Old people from the capital" refers to friends from Chen County who came to visit.

And Yu Yutong had stayed in Chen County for a period of time before, and was later demoted back. It was not just as simple as being demoted.

Before leaving, Yu Cong was the county magistrate. After returning, he became a jailer. Within a few months, he changed from a jailer to a jailer. Do you dare to imagine the process?

When Yu Cong heard about the old man from the capital, he guessed the identity of the visitor, shook his head helplessly, and finally went out to greet him in person.

The two exchanged warm greetings and then entered the living room. Yu Cong quickly asked people to prepare wine and food, as if he was going to entertain the guests.

The Miao people took out the wine they brought directly from their arms.

"Has the county magistrate ever thought about the future?" the Miao asked directly.

Yu Cong was stunned for a moment, then waved the maid to leave.

This relatively private topic is really not suitable for other people to be present.

On that day, Yu Cong also drank too much before talking to the Miao people. Unexpectedly, the Miao people who had been avoiding the conversation would suddenly ask themselves this question today.

Thinking of some recent situations in the city, Yu Cong instantly understood the Miao people's intentions.

Chen Sheng was known as Zhang Chu, but he did not help Chu State when it was in its most difficult time.

Now Chen Sheng's strength is not as good as before, while Chu State is much stronger than before.

The Han State did not seem to pay attention to Zhang Chu at all. This time it was said that they had already set up formations and planned to attack Zhang Chu and the Chu State at the same time.

After Chen Sheng lost his strength, he followed the advice of his advisers and strengthened his ties with Chu.

After all, Chen Sheng is also from the Chu country, and he is also known as Zhang Chu.

Now that the Chu State is in a weak position, it will naturally not refuse Chen Sheng's support.

Therefore, although Chen Sheng's Zhang Chu only has one county this time, he has also cooperated with Chu State. Now he is waiting for Chu State to take action. Zhang Chu's army will follow closely to attack Han State and take back the territory that once belonged to him.

.

The situation was roughly like this. Yu Cong frowned and said, "Isn't it a little too early to talk about the future?"

"It's getting late. The 100,000 Han troops have already approached thirty miles northwest of Zhe County. They will arrive outside the city of Zhe County tomorrow. Can the county magistrate think that the 4,000 defenders of Zhe County can defend the city and resist the 100,000 Han troops?

Are you elite?" The Miao man calmly took a sip of wine and said.

"Are you Han?" Yu Cong was shocked. He had never thought that the Miao people were actually Han people?

and……

Yu Cong asked tentatively: "Han scout?"

The Han army's scouts are famous all over the world. Everyone knows that the Han army has this organization, knows how powerful this organization is, and even knows that it has penetrated into their own ranks.

But the problem is that the Han army scouts are too mysterious. No matter how they investigate, they can't find any clues.

As a result, the rumors among the people became more and more bluffing. Some people even said that the scouts of the Han army had three heads and six arms, huge ears and huge eyes. They could hear their conversations from dozens of miles away, and could see them from a hundred miles away.

to what they are doing.

In fact, it is because everyone has heard of it, but no one has seen it, and they are very sure that it is real, which leads to such a result.

Even Yu Cong couldn't imagine that this middle-aged fair-skinned man from Miao, who looked a bit scholarly, could actually be a scout for the Han army?

"Re-introduction, I am the Scout Headquarters of the Han Dynasty, the Chenjun Headquarters, the Chenjun North Branch, the Zhexian Branch Hundred Generals, and the person in charge of the Zhexian Branch." The Miao man smiled slightly and listed a lot of things.

title.

It seems useless, but it actually tells Yu Cong how powerful the Han scouts are.

The headquarters is located in Luoyang. There is a headquarters in Chen County with two branches in the north and south. There is also a branch in Zhe County, and the person in charge of this branch is Baijiang.

When most people hear the word "hundred generals", they will naturally subconsciously think that he has a hundred people under his command, and this is also common sense.

Yu Cong simply couldn't imagine that there were a hundred scouts in a small Zhe County. This...

Even Yu Cong's breathing felt a little heavy, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.

"Why are you targeting me?" Yu Cong asked in the circle.

"You are not bad. You have a good official reputation. You are not from a noble family. You don't even hesitate to offend those big shots. Even if you are demoted to a jailer, you still have many of your old subordinates close to you." The Miao man said.

There are also criteria for selecting people. Once you have chosen the hook, you must be responsible for the fish you caught, and you are also responsible for yourself.

Miao people are still very serious about their career. After all, they come from a poor family. It is not easy to have such an opportunity now.

Therefore, he cares very much about his resume and the things he has done, and does not allow too much deviation.

Yu Cong was not a fool. If the Miao people were really scouts for the Han army, then the Han army might really be not far outside the city.

For him, the road to Zhang Chu was already dead. Even if he did nothing, or even reported it, it would not do him any good.

Even when the false king was killed by his subordinates, Chen Sheng was not angry, and he did not even shed a tear. From that moment on, Yu Cong knew that Zhang Chu was not the target he was following.

Thinking of this, Yu Cong looked at the Miao people and asked seriously: "What do you need from me? What can I get?"

The Miao man smiled slightly. He was the leader of the scouts, so the preparations were naturally very detailed. If he was not sure that Yu Cong would agree, he would not dare to come alone.
