Guo Youming said more vaguely, and did not directly tell Cheng Xiaojie about Zhou Wenyu's origin, but introduced it with reservations.

Cheng Xiaojie was greatly surprised, looking Zhou Wenyu up and down, and seemed to be a little surprised.

"Could it be that Brother Zhou was in command just now?"

Without waiting for Zhou Wenyu to speak, Guo Youming generously admitted it for him.

"What's the matter? My brother Zhou is an unborn general!"

The saying of talent is an exaggeration of Guo Youming's words, but he spares no effort to promote this, and anyone can see it.

To tell the truth, Guo Youming's reputation in the army is still good, young and promising, and enterprising. The defeat damaged his reputation, but not a single stick was beaten to the end.

Zheng Ruru Cheng Xiaojie said before that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you see a person die because of a defeat, it is obviously unrealistic.

Cheng Xiaojie, as Guo Ziyi's cronies, naturally has great respect for Guo Youming.

As a result, he took a look at Zhou Wenyu even more.

"Brother Zhou can scare Cheng with hundreds of remnants, he is really ashamed!"

are all open-minded people, and Cheng Xiaojie does not shy away from the experience he has just been frightened.

The wave after wave of shouts of slaughter in the darkness did make him order to stop his advance, and these manifestations did not correspond to the characteristics of the remnants of the defeated army, and before understanding the situation, prudence is the basic quality that a good general should have.

was touted by the Zhou people like this, even if Zhou Wenyu's face did not change before the danger, he couldn't help but blush at this time.

"The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely? Ashamed, ashamed!"

's vague modesty, and he also didn't mention the matter of the Shenwu Army, which made Guo Youming feel at ease, as long as he didn't say anything about it, he could strongly recommend this person to his brother.

The eldest husband joined the army for nothing more than meritorious deeds, with Zhou Wenyu's ability, how could he be more than a captain? Unfortunately, in the Shenwu Army, he was only a mere team, and he believed that even if the prince's power had little influence for the time being, the chicken head was stronger than the phoenix tail after all.

The night passed safely, and the prisoners who had escaped before also got the news and rushed back one after another, and Cheng Xiaojie led everyone all the way to the north.

Guo Youming was surprised.

"Further north is the territory of the Khazars, so if we break into it like this, aren't we afraid of attracting the attack of those barbarians?"

Cheng Xiaojie said with a smile:

"There is a great fear, although the Khazars are savage, they are beyond the reach of the whip, and they are now mobilizing the whole country, planning to attack the black-clothed food!"

The northern part of the river is already the easternmost part of the Khazar sphere of influence, and its influence is not as good as that of the western few Dahaizi coasts, coupled with the recruitment of the vast majority of the tribal strongmen, resulting in the emergence of a large area of the two areas, so Li Yu, Guo Ziyi and others just took advantage of the situation.

After listening to Cheng Xiaojie's introduction, Guo Youming couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he couldn't imagine that the situation had changed so much in just ten days.

Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Otherwise, with the weak power of the crown prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive between the two strong forces of the Khazars and the Shenwu army.

As if he remembered something, Guo Youming pulled Zhou Wenyu aside and said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou, don't leak your identity in front of the army, these people have a lot of hatred with them, and before you see your brother, you don't dare to guarantee Brother Zhou's safety 100%!"

Zhou Wenyu said:

"The sergeants who came back together all know about the military flag and the horse thief, this matter is like paper that can't hold fire, sooner or later someone will know, and it can't be hidden!"

He knew very well that thousands of captives had their own thoughts, and it was impossible for them to keep secrets.

No matter how you look at it, Cheng Xiaojie is a shrewd and capable person, and it may only be counterproductive to show off his mind in front of this person.

Despite this, Zhou Wenyu still cooperated with Guo Youming to a certain extent.

Carrying the secret mission assigned by the prime minister, after all, he has to take a little risk, how can he achieve everything he wants safely?

Along the way, Zhou Wenyu has always been secretly observing Cheng Xiaojie, this person does not seem to have any abnormal changes, and he is always talking and laughing with them.

Guo Youming laughed at him for being too timid, but Zhou Wenyu always felt that this person should have learned the truth.

Guo Youming is an emotional person, many things are wishful thinking, this kind of person is the best candidate as a friend.

But if you look at Zhou Wenyu's appearance from the perspective of a third party, it is very suspicious.

Guo Ziyi's main army was stationed in a mountainous area on the north bank of the Great River, where you can see a forest of tall trees that is rare in the south.

Relying on the great river can resist attacks from the south, and if you can't beat it, you can flee into the dense forests of the north, so that the enemy can no longer pursue.

The atmosphere in the camp was not as full of the smell of the defeated army fleeing in a hurry as previously imagined, and the soldiers shouted loud trumpets, and drilled high and low.

On the bank of the river, there were already people and horses waiting for a long time.

About half an hour, the group finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

There was no fanfare welcome ceremony here, after all, Guo Youming fled back as a general of the defeated army, and it was not surprising that everything was low-key and simple.

What made Guo Youming feel strange was that after entering the camp, he did not see his brother for the first time.

Cheng Xiaojie only said that Guo Dashuai was discussing military affairs with the prince, and asked them to bathe and eat first, rest for a while, and it would not be too late to meet again after they had enough spirits.

However, the sensitive Guo Youming still noticed the subtle changes in the attitude of the battalion officers and soldiers towards him.

Before he came back, he had already made corresponding psychological preparations, but when he really faced this kind of cold gaze, it was still difficult to accept it in his heart.

In the end, the generals of the defeated army will suffer from white eyes and ridicule wherever they are, if Guo Youming is not Guo Dashuai's younger brother, I am afraid that today's treatment should be locked up and questioned.

Fortunately, Zhou Wenyu was arranged in one place, and after a simple wash, the hot meal was also served.

The conditions in the army were simple, and an oversized copper plate was placed on the Hu table, which was stewed with flesh and bones, perhaps because it had been steamed too many times, and it had almost become minced meat.

Even so, the two of them moved their hands regardless of it, shook off their cheeks and munched on them.

Not only did there be meat, but the army miscellaneous servants also brought a pot of wine.

This wine is made from local grains, and the taste is very different from that of wine produced in the Central Plains.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is only one pot of wine, and the two of them have already seen the bottom after a few sips.

Guo Youming burped, patted his belly supported by wine and meat, and said loudly:

"Guo has never eaten such fragrant meat or drunk such a mellow wine......"

The words did not fall, but tears fell!
