CHAPTER XXIV

Li Deqian is a weak chicken on the front line, but he is definitely a good hand in logistics, and he really arranged the Rouran people just right, it can be said that everyone makes the best use of their talents, each has their own income, and there is no shortage of half a point in life.

Hou Junji's camp has been built, and it is on the left side of the Liangzhou camp, vaguely forming a corner with each other to prevent the Tugu Hun wild captives from attacking again.

The arrival of the Hou army seems to indicate that the conquest of Tuyuhun is about to officially begin, and it is no longer the small fight in the past, so the officers and men in the army practice diligently every day to increase their strength to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Li Daozong discussed military affairs with Hou Junji all day long, but Xu Zhen was leisurely, practicing swords with Zhou Cang, dealing with the entanglement and inquiries of Yan Lide and Li Deqian, and from time to time to visit Li Mingda's little Lori who practiced martial arts with Li Deqi, or exchanging illusion experience and technology with Moya, in short, the small day was also satisfied.

A few days ago, he also showed off in front of Caesar, this beautiful sister once used a small secret crossbow, and regarded Xu Zhen's repeater as an artifact, but the cunning Tang people in her mouth did not mean to give the repeater to the beauty.

It didn't take long for such days to finally be fulfilled for his military exploits, but to Xu Zhen's surprise, he was actually promoted from a pro-soldier team leader to a brigade commander (Note 1)!

Moreover, the top actually agreed to transfer the seventy or eighty Rouran warriors to Xu Zhen's jurisdiction, plus Zhang Jiunian and Kaisa and other brothers, the quota of one hundred people was almost exhausted.

Xu Zhen is not stupid, seeing that Hou Poyu did not honor the punishment of the military order, he can guess that his promotion is the result of Hou Junji's discussion with Li Daozong.

Li Daozong had already hinted to himself that Chang'an's plan to send the letter was completely stranded, and Xu Zhen could also speculate that maybe Hou Junji had brought back some news from Chang'an, so that Li Daozong changed his mind.

But he didn't let his guard down, so he went to visit Li Mingda more and more frequently, for Xu Zhen, this little girl is not just a simple stepping stone, nor is it a bargaining chip for Xu Zhen to ascend to a higher position, it was not from the beginning, but Xu Zhen changed the fate of this girl and had to continue to protect her, otherwise I really don't know what kind of big incident will happen.

Sure enough, not long after Xu Zhen became the brigade commander, an order was sent from above, asking him to lead his men and horses out of the camp to confirm the exact location of the Tuyuhun Murong Division!

This should have been a matter of the scout camp, but let Xu Zhen do it, which is dark, Xu Zhen can think of it with his ass.

He has promoted Zhang Jiunian to join the army as a record, and Zhou Cang and Gao Heshu and others serve as small leaders such as team leaders and fire chiefs, although they are low-level officers like sesame mung beans, but at least they have been given official status, so that they have completely broken away from their previous lowly status.

In this way, Xu Zhen's team can be regarded as having a prototype, which can be described as a small but complete sparrow, the only thing worth worrying about is the shadow behind this dispatch.

Zhang Jiunian, as the chief think tank, quickly sorted out the relationship, and his thoughts coincided with Xu Zhen, the key was still on the Hou family's father and son, of course, Xu Zhen could not tell Zhang Jiunian about Li Mingda, at least it was not time yet.

Xu Zhen has always regarded Li Daozong as his protective umbrella, and now that such a thing has happened, he naturally has to deal with him, and the latter avoids it, Xu Zhen is a small brigade commander, and he can't beat the old guy in the big tent of the Chinese army, so he has to go home in a huff.

Before leaving, he received the news that this time it was not his brigade fighting alone, and there was still Duan Zhan's 3,000 rangers in the rear to support, but this move did not eliminate Xu Zhen's worries, but made him feel that Hou Junji had a great plan, and Li Daozong's attitude towards this matter was not clear, which was really boring.

And there is no discrimination in the army's support for Xu Zhen's team, all kinds of military supplies are sufficient, horses, armor and weapons are very in place, Xu Zhen as a brigade commander, armor and weapons are better than others, anyway, he already has a mysterious sword, and Tiance red armor, so he threw his equipment to the accompanying Caesar.

Caesar's arm is branded with Xu Zhen's name, since Xu Zhen rescued the Rouran clan, her attitude towards Xu Zhen has eased a lot, although she is still lukewarm, but in her heart she seems to have accepted her identity, which can be regarded as Xu Zhen's personal guard.

For his own people, Xu Zhen has never been stingy, otherwise he would not have given Murong Xiao's dragon war horse to Zhou Cang, and he would not have given the golden silk soft armor to Li Deqian.

Duan Zan had a very good impression of Xu Zhen and the others, and when he left, he also came over to give Xu Zhen a ride, intentionally or unintentionally, and mentioned it casually, saying that Xu Zhen's knife was a rare treasure knife, which made Xu Zhen cherish it, which also made Xu Zhen, who was suspicious by nature, have another heart.

Xu Zhen didn't worry about Li Mingda in the end, and was thinking about whether to bring this little girl with him, so he simply came to Chen Cang to hide from the sky and send the little girl back to Chang'an, but this thought was only a flash, because he knew very well in his heart that this matter was too big, and with his current strength, he couldn't do too much at all.

On Xinyouri, in the autumn rain, Xu Zhen put on armor and a knife, and was about to go out of the camp to carry out the mission, but Li Mingda secretly got into his camp tent.

Xu Zhen was not surprised by the arrival of this little girl, looking at Li Mingda, whose complexion had become a little dark, Xu Zhenzhen felt a little sorry.

"Girl, come here."

Xu Zhen beckoned, Li Mingda looked reluctant, turned his head, and seemed to be putting up a princess's shelf, but it didn't take long for him to get through his thoughts and walked to Xu Zhen.

Xu Zhen took out a clean cloth towel and wiped the rain on Li Mingda's hair indiscriminately, the method was rude and there was no warmth at all, but Li Mingda was not angry.

After wiping his hair, Xu Zhen solemnly stuffed his repeater crossbow into Li Mingda's hand, looked directly into her eyes, and said with a straight face: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Just like a brother entrusting his younger sister, there is no doubt, but he is full of concern, Li Mingda has not come back to his senses, and Xu Zhen's back has already disappeared into the rain.

Li Mingda has seen the power of Xu Zhen's repeater many times, and she, like everyone else, also has an extreme desire for this repeater, but she, like Caesar and others, has never expected that Xu Zhen, a miser, would hemorrhage.

However, what she didn't expect was that Xu Zhen actually gave her the repeater, which surprised her and made her feel warm, but at the same time, she also felt the more and more obvious danger around her.

Gritting her teeth, this little girl who likes to fight with Xu Zhen the most, rushed into the rain again.

Xu Zhen was about to step on the horse, but the corners of the armor were torn off, Li Mingda didn't say a word, took off his iron wrench, put it on Xu Zhen's ring finger, and then lowered his head and ran away.

The autumn rain was slightly cool, but Li Mingda's heart was very hot, and his little face was hot, until he returned to the camp, his small chest still rose and fell.

Xu Zhen turned the wrench on his ring finger, smiled slightly, his heart was happy, but he muttered: "This business is not a loss!" ”

Caesar next to him heard Xu Zhen talking to himself, and couldn't help but ask in his heart, when did this cunning Tang man tell the truth? It's just an insult to the name because his name is Xu Zhen, but she has to admit that sometimes this man tells lies, which is also good.

Hou Poyu saw Xu Zhen's team go out, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the rain to come to the prisoner of war camp, the pale Murong Xiao was lying on a broken mat, and the wounds on his body had festered and pus, but this Tuguhun hero did not wail, and his eyes were stunned.

There was a rancid smell in the air, Hou Poyu couldn't help but fan his cuffs, walked up to Murong Xiao, stepped on Murong Xiao's head with his boots, and then squatted down.

"You call yourself a wolf blood descendant, why do I look at it as just a jackal dog chasing rot? Since your Murong family has an agreement with that person, I won't embarrass you, but whether you can escape back depends on your own ability. ”

Murong Xiao bared his teeth and endured the severe pain, but there was no shame or unwillingness on his face, there was only the desire to survive in his eyes, as long as he could live, what else could not be taken back?

His mind was still planning quickly, but there was a huge pressure from the boots on his face, his neck was numb, and the darkness eroded his vision.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a deep pit, with several stinking and mutilated corpses pressed on his body, all of which were prisoners who could not survive the wounded and sick, and there were a few Tang camp people digging by the edge of the pit, scolding themselves about the damn autumn rain.

A flame suddenly rose from the bottom of Murong Xiao's heart, he glanced around, in order to avoid the spread of the epidemic, this place is far away from the big camp walled, and there are no soldiers to guard it, so he has to dig the grave Haha, it is the perfect moment to escape!

At that moment, a stocky gravedigger seemed to have found something in the pile of dead people, stuck it on the edge of the pit, and jumped into the pit with great skill, groping for the corpse.

Murong Xiao took a deep breath, suddenly burst out, and threw him down, his legs were like iron twisted around the waist of the gravedigger, his right arm was wrapped around the opponent's neck, but his left hand covered the man's mouth and nose!

The gravediggers all wrapped their mouths and noses with square towels to exterminate the corpse, but they didn't expect that this rain-soaked cloth towel would become a murder weapon that suffocated themselves!

Murong Xiao is an invincible brave general of ten people, although he is covered in injuries, it is not difficult to kill an unarmed Minzhuang, it is only a short time, and the neck of the gravedigger is broken with a click!

Murong Xiao searched for the man's body, lay on the edge of the pit and watched for a few breaths, ignoring the blood gushing out of his arm that was torn, he suddenly jumped to the ground, picked up the shovel, walked a few steps, and cut another gravedigger to the ground, and the crude shovel smashed the latter's head to pieces!

When the other seven or eight gravediggers saw this situation, their hands and feet suddenly became cold, and they thought that the deceased had deceived the corpse and got up, seeing that Murong Xiao was not a ghost or a ghost, holding a bloody shovel like a fierce god, and they were even more frightened and scattered in a panic!

Murong Xiao didn't pursue, his eyes like an eagle falcon glanced around, and he saw a corpse carriage parked not far away, and quickly stepped forward to untie the old horse, although it was like a cloud of mud with a good horse of the dragon breed, but it was regarded as a treasure, stepped on the horse's back, and clamped his legs, the old horse was like a dead wood in spring, and he actually crossed the wooden fence next to the corpse pit and galloped with Murong Xiao!
