There is a place in the north city tower of Zhangqiu.

The towers here are towering, and from here, you can see the "pseudo-Zhangqiu County" on the other side of the river clearly.

When Chen Kaizhi climbed here, the wind was very strong, making his clothes rush and fluttering. At this moment, he didn't care about the pain of the strong wind, and stood with his hands behind his back. His clear eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at the opposite shore with great seriousness.

The other side of the river is more of a military fortress than a county town.

The city is very small, with towering walls and even a moat. There are even many Northern Yan troops entering and leaving. It seems that... the opposite Zhangqiu County is the military bridgehead for the Northern Yan troops to target the Great Chen area.

Due to the weather, the river is filled with fog, which floats in the direction of the wind, wrapping the city. Therefore, only one approximation can be seen at this moment, not very clear.

"Where..." Chen Kaizhi looked back, looked behind him, pointed his finger at the other side of the river, and asked with a faint expression: "How many soldiers are there?"

The one who followed Chen Kaizhi was Li Dongzheng.

In addition to the bureaucratic aura that hits his face, Li Dongzheng, in fact, to a certain extent, the Ministry of Personnel rewards him with a "real reputation". He is indeed a hard-working person and can be regarded as a model in the prefect.

For example, under his rule, there was no wrongful prison, which was a miracle, and no one complained under his rule.

If a person has good governance, there must be something extraordinary.

At this time, Li Dong was looking in the direction of Chen Kaizhi's finger and immediately said: "There are two thousand troops on the opposite side, why? The governor is this..."

He felt that Governor Chen's performance was a bit strange, and he seemed not to be on patrolling the academic and criminal prisons. Instead, he had been interested in the other side of the river since he came to Jibei.

Chen Kaizhi nodded at Li Dongzheng, and two thousand troops were defending the fortress, which was not beyond his expectations.

In the three prefectures of Jibei, the Northern Yan army had tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Of course, they would not be stupid enough to push these troops directly to the front line, but instead hid the real elite soldiers in the rear. The front line was used as a strategic depth to build military fortresses, with the purpose... It is self-evident that once a military fortress is attacked, the army can quickly rush to support. It is said that after these three prefectures of Jibei, they also arranged heavy troops in the Wuqing area to prevent the situation.

Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes again and continued to look into the distance. He saw a stone bridge in the middle of the river. The stone bridge connected the two sides together, and it seemed that it was very convenient to go to the other side.

Therefore, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but ask, "Why is there a bridge?"

"This was built more than ten years ago." Li Dong told the truth: "After the war quelled, people's livelihoods withered due to war. After that, Beiyan and I, Dachen, discussed peace and decided to trade with each other here. The bridge was built. Every month, merchants from Beiyan would bring caravans to Zhangqiu County to trade."

Chen Kaizhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and the next moment he turned to look at Li Zhengdong, and solemnly ordered: "Mr. Li, please ask you to leave a document and tell the other side of the shore, saying that from tomorrow, we will train troops on the south bank, and all the water and land inspectors and soldiers in Jibei will also participate."

"Ah..." Li Dong was stunned, surprised by Chen Kaizhi's instructions.

But obviously, he disagreed with Chen Kaizhi's approach, but Chen Kaizhi was a Shangguan, and he could not refuse Chen Kaizhi. His eyes quickly turned around and then hesitated and analyzed: "This is not very appropriate, Governor, if this is the case, wouldn't this... be a provocation? I'm afraid that Beiyan would regard us as a threat. And... and..." Li Dong was thinking for a while before hesitatingly continued: "Mr. Chen has also come to compile a book, and is afraid that the Governor will cause trouble, so..."

Chen Kaiyi smiled, staring at Li Zhengdong with clear eyes as clear as water, and said with a righteous voice: "I'm not provoking, I'm just training soldiers. Why, it's not enough to train soldiers in our own Zhangqiu County in Dachen? The people of Beiyan are too busy."

As he said that, Chen Kaizhi turned his gaze away and continued to look at the center of the river that was foggy. His tone was a little gentler: "Don't worry, Lord Li, I, Chen Kaizhi, are trustworthy, you have seen it. We don't have many soldiers here, but Beiyan is on the north shore. How dare I provoke them? I, Chen Kaizhi, love peace."

Li Dong was thinking about it and believed Chen Kaizhi a little, but he also felt relieved. On the one hand, Chen Kaizhi spoke sincerely, and on the other hand, he also felt that the governor just wanted to Zhang Yi and Zhang Guowei, as long as there was no trouble, let alone just practice, and I think... it would not be a problem.

So he did not continue to object, but nodded lightly: "There is now to do it."

Chen Kaizhi also thought about the training location. He was near the stone bridge, not only summoned the Warriors Camp, but also seven or eight hundred soldiers from Jibei.

Chen Kaizhi ordered people to set up a high platform here, which could just look at the city block opposite, so the practice began.

In fact, this exercise is all ordinary content. Apart from line-ups and long-distance running, Chen Kaizhi took all the officials with great enthusiasm and rested and observed on the high platform.

This was a half-month exercise, but it made the civil and military officials in Jibei complain. Only when the drums and horns were heard, Li Dongzheng brought the officials with him, and his face was very unnatural.

Li Dong was obviously not interested in the exercises under the high platform, and even thought it was too noisy. Chen Kaizhi was sitting in the main seat, shaking his head and looking happy.

The gongs and drums here are loud, and the Northern Yan army on the other side is also nervous. Hundreds of troops suddenly emerge from the city gate, as if they are looking at the situation on the other side.

Soon, in Wuqing County, a hundred miles away from the north bank, in the Jibei Palace, a hurry was sent to the Jibei King Yan Mo.

After seeing the urgent comment, Yan Mo's face suddenly turned pale. He snorted coldly and said to the left and right generals: "A few days ago, news of anti-Yan came from Luoyang. Today, it was a horizon. There was actually a new governor of Da Chen on the other side of the strait, which obviously meant to be provocative!"

A general showed a look of surprise and immediately asked, "Your Highness, are they going to move troops?"

"Mobilize troops?" Yan Mo sneered with a little mocking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with contempt: "What qualifications do they have to drive troops? The Chen people are used to enjoying peace. I think it's just because Luoyang is talking and criticized, so the military horses on the south bank are just trying to give them an explanation to the military and civilians of Dachen. I don't have to pay attention to them, but Deng Hu must be careful and watch their movements at any time, and not to look at them casually."

Soon, the city blockage on the other side took action. Deng Hu, the captain of the Northern Yan Army, personally led a thousand troops and horses to leave the city block. They were stationed near the stone bridge on the north bank. They also set up camps and started practicing with great momentum.

After practicing for several days, both sides seemed to have put in full force, and they were all loud and loud, and they were also testing the reality of both sides.

When the training stopped, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait rested, or someone fetched water, and there was a conflict.

The Northern Yan army was some downstream, and I don’t know who had no merit. After the training, a group of people ran to the upper reaches of the river to release water. The Yan army on the other side saw it and immediately started to scream and scold.

Li Dongzheng felt that it was too much and was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurried to find Chen Kaizhi.

He stayed outside the city for a few days and couldn't bear it anymore and looked a little haggard. After seeing Chen Kai, he said with great concern: "Governor, if this continues, there will be conflicts. The soldiers are very dissatisfied with the Yan army, and they shout and scold each other across the river. This... I'm afraid it's very inappropriate. If the court knew..."

Chen Kaizhi looked distracted, glanced at Li Zhengdong with clear eyes, and then said lightly: "You can't say that, the people of Beiyan cursed first. Can we show weakness? Lord Li, it seems that you don't know the situation in Luoyang City. Now, from the Qing Dynasty of Shilin to the discussions in the city, we have criticized the people of Beiyan. If this is the time, we will show weakness here..."

As he said that, Chen Kaizhi paused, staring at Li Zhengdong with his eyes very seriously, and then continued to speak, but his voice suddenly became sharp.

"If this news is transmitted back to Luoyang, then I am afraid that the fingers of the people in the world will point to you and me. When it reaches this point, can we still retreat?"

His eyes were cold and his voice was a bit warning.

Li Dong was stunned, but he understood something, but he was unable to solve it at this moment. He just sighed and said quietly: "It's better to be careful."

Chen Kaizhi calmed down, nodded gently to Li Zhengdong, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, the soldiers below have told them that they will never use force. They know the importance of it."

It’s just that Qiu Ba and others cursed, and their words were inevitably a bit too sharp.

In fact, the soldiers of the Warriors camp were too lazy to scold. They were like those who were wearing leather shoes barefoot, and began to hold their own identities and become gentle. Fortunately, the soldiers were very verbal and began to talk about the other party’s various bad descriptions in different ways.

The people of Northern Yan are also unwilling to be outdone, and the scolding is even more powerful.

Therefore, neither side was willing to give in, as if they wanted to distinguish between the two.

However, Xu Jie and others gradually became less interested. Chen Kaizhi did not allow them to move. The scolding sounded interesting at first, but later it became boring. After practicing, a group of people sat cross-legged together and then read their own books in the schoolyard. The books were brought from the library. Each person finished reading one and then exchanged them with others.
