No one can question the bravery of the Ba people, but now the leaders of the Ba people lying in the grass are worried, looking at the North Zhou checkpoint on the small road not far ahead.

It's not because they're afraid of twenty or thirty enemies, even if it's just one person and only one knife in their hands, these guys who are born struggling to survive in the mountains dare not hesitate to rush forward.

What they are really worried about is whether Li Xinchen can solve this level as easily as he said, or whether Li Xinchen is really capable of commanding the eight tribes of the Ba people and taking them to the stable life they want.

It can be said that every Ba leader here is far from being alone, so they must know whether Li Xinchen is the person who can really bring the future to the Ba people as Du Qi and Li Xun said.

When the lives and deaths of thousands or even tens of thousands of people and the survival of the race weigh on their shoulders, some decisions are certainly not so easy to make.

Li Xinchen was not in a hurry to force them to make a decision, but on the contrary, these Ba leaders who were thinking and observing made Li Xinchen feel more at ease. They can decide again and again today whether they want to follow Li Xinchen, and it is impossible for them to betray Li Xinchen with a pat on their heads in the future.

The establishment of trust between the two sides will take a process no matter what, and Li Xinchen is willing to use his strength to prove that he is worthy of the trust of these Ba leaders.

"Look at this level, it's obviously not that easy to play." A Ba leader stretched out his hand and pointed to both sides of the checkpoint and said, "The enemy seems to have only blocked the road with deer barricades and fences, but they have sent men to the high places on both sides to look into the distance as a warning, and at the same time arrange the crossbowmen in the middle, as long as someone appears, they will definitely be taken care of by these crossbowmen." ”

Du Qi also nodded: "This is true, in addition, the enemy's sword and shield men are ready to cover the crossbowmen at any time, and they are condescending, if you don't have twice the troops, it is really difficult to attack." ”

"It's getting dark this day, and General Dangkou wants to come and prepare to do it." Li Xun squinted slightly, "How to fight, let's just watch." ”

The leaders of the Ba people all subconsciously held their breath, the sky became darker and darker, replaced by a touch of moonlight, shining on the mountain path through the gaps between the trees, and the few Northern Zhou soldiers who patrolled back and forth pulled out a long shadow under the moonlight.

————————————-

Zhu San sneezed and couldn't help but reach out and rub his nose. He was an inconspicuous Northern Zhou general, otherwise he would not have been sent to guard such a remote checkpoint.

There is no time in this mountain, even if Zhu San lives with his fingers crossed, he almost doesn't know how long he has stayed here, he only knows that every day is the same patrol and sentry, and there is not even a passer-by on this remote mountain road, and there is not even a single passer-by on this remote mountain road, and there is not even a question of interrogation at all.

Although it was already March, it was still a little cold in the mountains, so Zhu San subconsciously reached out and rubbed it, turned around and walked to the side of the fire and stretched out his hand to bake the fire, several soldiers hurriedly came around, and one of them said with a clever smile:

"Chief, we've been here for five or six days, and the brothers have long been bored, what do our generals want to do? You have to look at this path well, you see that both sides of this road are already overgrown with wild grass, and I don't know how many years no one has walked it. ”

Zhu San snorted: "The thoughts of our generals are what you can figure out." But I can tell you······"

Zhu San sold a pass, and his subordinates gave way to the sides with a very eye-catching look, giving up the best position for the fire, and Zhu San nodded with satisfaction, and said unhurriedly: "Our general is afraid of the Ba people in the mountains and Li Xinchen." ”

"What are the Naba people and Li Xinchen to be afraid of!" A young soldier said in surprise, "We are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even three against one can suppress them." ”

Zhu Sanyi waved his hand: "What do you kid know, you were in this Cangxi Valley before, and you didn't participate in the battle of Tiangongyuan Mountain, you don't know how difficult Li Xinchen is to deal with, and the mountain is like a hedgehog managed by him, as long as you go up, almost no one can survive it, and the bones are mountains and rivers of blood, this is such a fact." Even if our generals and General Wei Chi are veterans who have been famous for a long time, don't they still have to withdraw their troops obediently now? ”

The young soldier couldn't help but be speechless, and the rest of the soldiers also echoed in a low voice.

Zhu San sighed: "I really don't know what kind of blessing the people of the south are, such a young and promising young general, I'm afraid I haven't seen it for decades, and the last time I could be a thousand was probably that Chen Qingzhi." ”

After a pause, Zhu San then said: "And most of those Ba people were born and raised here, and they know the surrounding mountains well, if we don't see the surrounding roads leaky, maybe they will catch the loophole." ”

The young soldier suddenly understood something, and said with a smile: "Dare to love our general to send us to be optimistic about these roads, because we are afraid of those Ba people and Li Xinchen. ”

"What do you say?" Zhu San suddenly reached out and patted the back of the young soldier's head dissatisfied, "Our general is thoughtful, you can slander like this." ”

The young soldier didn't dare to say more, but Zhu San didn't continue to explain, but looked up at the bright moon. He knew that what this open-mouthed young man said was not unreasonable, and it was not the first time that he followed Wei Xiaokuan to fight on the battlefield, but he had never seen the old general so cautious, and even a little too cautious.

"Alright, let's all disperse, it's time for you to change your whistle." Zhu San waved his hand impatiently, he knew that the battle situation in Cangxi Valley in front of him was not as smooth as he imagined, but as a small general, he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't do anything.

A few soldiers answered, one of them swayed to the sentry post not far away, there has been no wind and grass at all in the past few days, so that these soldiers can't fight at all, if it weren't for Zhu San's strict management of the army on weekdays, I'm afraid this sentry would not be too lazy to put it - it is said that the rest of the same remote checkpoints are a group of soldiers sleeping every day, regardless of the day and night.

This rare leisure kung fu no one wants to miss.

However, the soldier slowly walked behind the stone, but did not see the companion who should be standing there waiting for his replacement, he chuckled in his heart, and subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand, but before he could move forward, a black shadow suddenly came out from behind the side, covering the soldier's mouth with one hand, and the knife in the other hand flicked, directly slashing his throat.

Hot blood flowed down the blade, and the shadow dropped the soldier to the ground without saying a word, carefully dragging it into the bushes next to him.

Zhu San, who was roasting the fire, was already a little drowsy, but he still supported himself to stand up, and when he raised his head to look at the sentry post not far away, his pupils suddenly dilated.
