After a short time, Zhao Chuan went and returned, and there was one more person by his side, Xiao Wang.

After receiving the food handed by Zhao Chuan, Lu Chenhu glanced at Xiao Wang suspiciously, and asked, "Didn't you ask you to count the casualties and losses of our army, why did you come here so quickly?" ”

"Back to my lord, the last general has already counted all the matters of our army after the war, and the specific situation, after the adults have eaten, the last general will explain it to the adults in detail." Xiao Wang said respectfully.

Hearing him say this, it was obvious that he had already started to deal with post-war matters as soon as the barbarians retreated, Lu Chen nodded secretly, but he did not show the slightest appreciation for Xiao Wang on his face, but took a bite of food and said indistinctly:

"Say it now, you say yours, I eat mine, there is no hindrance."

"Oh......" Xiao Wang responded, he seemed a little unnatural about reporting work in this situation, and paused for a while before saying:

"In today's battle, more than 1,700 soldiers of our army defending the city were killed, 200 were seriously injured and could no longer fight, and more than 1,000 were lightly wounded.

Xiao Wang's report was simple and clear, as soon as Lu Chen heard it, he knew it at a glance, and he said without raising his head: "In today's battle alone, the soldiers who defended the city alone used more than 20,000 arrows, which shows how fierce the attack of the barbarian army is." ”

In this regard, Xiao Wang was noncommittal, he continued: "To sum up, the damage to our army's combat strength is not serious, and the stones and rolling logs are not a problem, and the soldiers can be collected at any time, and the arrows are enough to support our army to release four large-scale arrow formations, the only problem is...... Our army is running out of food and grass...... If there is no more food and grass supply, I am afraid that it will not take two days, and our army will have to reduce it to two meals a day. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's actions in his hands paused, and after chewing the food in his mouth, he said faintly: "Don't worry, I believe that Lord Xue can prepare the grain and grass as soon as possible and send it to us." ”

Let's hope so! Xiao Wang said silently in his heart, and he didn't say anything more on his face.

Lu Chen said again: "Our army against the barbarians, in addition to relying on the solid city defense of Wuguan, if you want to really repel the barbarians, you have to rely on the arrow array!" The shields in the hands of the barbarians are all light round shields, and they pay attention to individual combat, and cannot form a tight shield array, therefore, our remaining four rounds of large-scale arrow arrays must be released at the most appropriate time to give the brutes the most fatal blow! ”

Xiao Wang nodded in agreement, he was just about to say something, but at this moment, a soldier ran up the city wall quickly.

"Report ~~~~"

"Lord Yu, Lord Xue of Qinghe County personally led people to escort grain and grass to our army camp, and now Lord Xue is ...... downstairs in the city."

"Quick! Please, Lord Xue! "What a lack of something! Before the soldier's words were finished, Lu Chen was already excited to get up from the ground.

But because he was now in a state of exhaustion, as soon as he struggled to get together, his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground again.

"Be careful, sir." Fortunately, Zhao Chuan's eyes were quick and he held him up.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a county guard stepped onto the city wall.

Seeing the visitor, Lu Chen hurriedly pushed Zhao Chuan's arm away without showing a trace, and put the chopsticks in his hand in Zhao Chuan's hand, and then greeted him in three steps and two steps, arched his hand, bent down slightly and saluted:

"Lord Xue prepared grain and grass for the soldiers of our army, and worked tirelessly to escort him personally, and I am very grateful!"

It stands to reason that with Xue Huairen's character, it should be an immediate and humble return salute, but Xue Huairen did not, not only that, but he looked at Lu Chen fixedly and did not speak.

He stepped forward to greet him, but the other party didn't even pay attention to him, just standing there, Lu Chen suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but think in his heart if there was something wrong with what he did just now.

At this time, even Xiao Wang and Zhao Chuan couldn't stand it anymore, they were stationed at the border passes, resisted the barbarian enemy, and fought for the country! Adults are even more pioneers, and work together with the soldiers below! Now even if you Xue Huairen is helping you, that adult is so humble and grateful to you, but you deliberately put on a score and don't see it, which is too pretentious!

The faces of the two sank at the same time, and before Xiao Wang could speak, Zhao Chuan couldn't help it first, he looked at Xue Huairen coldly, and said in an unkind tone: "Hmph!" Lord Xue is so rude......"

His words were only halfway through, but at this time, Xue Huairen suddenly took care of his official uniform seriously, and then bowed to Lu Chen.

And his salute is not an ordinary fist, but a bow to the end.

At that time, it could be said that this was the second major ceremony after kneeling.

Xue Huairen and Lu Chen are both county guards, although Lu Chen's duties are more special, but the two of them have the same grade, even if he is polite and polite, it stands to reason that he should not be like this.

For a moment, the people around were dumbfounded.

Zhao Chuan's following words were also swallowed back because of Xue Huairen's action, he looked at Xue Huairen dumbfounded, and stammered: "This ...... This ......"

Xiao Wang was also stunned.

Lu Chen was even more at a loss and hurriedly said, "Lord Xue, are you ...... What are you doing, how can you be virtuous, and if you can receive this great gift, isn't it tortured below? ”

What they didn't know was what Xue Huairen had seen and heard from the inside of the gate to the city wall. Looking at the wounded in those camps, and then on the city wall, looking at the soldiers with long halberds erected beside him, sitting against the wall, and even eating in front of the battle, looking at Lu Chen, a main general, but advancing and retreating with all the soldiers, and needing others to support him to stand firm, looking at Lu Chen for fear that he would see it, he hurriedly hid the dishes and chopsticks in Zhao Chuan's hands......

After giving a deep salute, Xue Huairen stood up straight, he didn't explain why he made this big salute, but said to Lu Chenzhengse:

"30,000 stone grain and grass, now they have all been escorted to the border army camp, if there is anything else that can help Xue, although Lord Lu said, although Xue only governs one county, but if he can serve the soldiers who fought in the border pass with my strong wind, even if the ability is limited, it will be a death!"

Xue Huairen's impassioned statement moved Lu Chen greatly, and at the same time, he was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "With Lord Xue's words, I don't have to worry about it!" Although the barbarian army is numerous, there is nothing to fear! ”

His confidence suddenly became more sufficient, because with the help of an internal affairs wizard like Xue Huairen, it was equivalent to having a strong logistical supply as a backing! There are no more worries!
