Long'er followed behind Xuan Shijing, while Gao Jun went to rearrange the carriage.

"Little Marquis, you can be regarded as back." Seeing Xuan Shijing come back with all his beards and tails, Long'er's heart finally let go of most of it.

"It's not necessarily safe to come back, I found in front of me that this night attack doesn't seem to be simple, now think about it, if it really comes to attack the camp at night, how can it send a large number of cavalry over with such fanfare and without cover." Xuan Shijing said with a solemn face.

"What does the little marquis think?" Long'er looked at the pensive Xuan Shijing and asked.

"Brother Chu Mo, you may be facing the vanguard of the Tibetan army." Xuan Shijing said: "Therefore, the only way now is to retreat to the stone city and hold the stone city, in order to plan for the future, now the difference between the forces of the two sides is too great, continue to stay in the field, there is no food and grass supply, there is no hope of winning at all." "This point Xuan Shijing is certain, from ancient times to the present, the most important thing is supply, saying that it is a war, it is nothing more than consuming each other, whoever can't bear it first will lose.

The quality of the soldiers who can follow Cheng Chumo to station in such a harsh environment is good, and it only takes two moments to give the order, and all the items in the camp have been packed up and orderly, without any panic, and the steward in the previous battalion has steadily and properly commanded the auxiliary soldiers to pull on the car and set off towards Shicheng.

Since Cheng Chumo handed over the camp to Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing will do his best to protect it, and follow the big camp, Xuan Shijing and Long'er rode horses, Gao Jun drove the carriage, and walked at the front of the team.

All the way to the stone city, there were a few fires faintly flashing on the city wall, which were used by the soldiers on duty to patrol, the night in the desert was exceptionally quiet, Xuan Shijing's big group of people was so big, the soldiers on the city wall had already seen it.

Seeing Xuan Shijing and the others stop in front of the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city poked their heads out and shouted below: "Who is coming!" ”

"We are stationed outside Shicheng, General Cheng Chumo's subordinates, the Tubo army in front is coming, General Cheng ordered us to retreat to Shicheng." Xuan Shijing said.

"Nonsense, most of General Cheng's subordinates have been seen by us, but you are very tight-faced." The person dressed as a lieutenant next to him took a closer look at Xuan Shijing's face and confirmed that he had not seen him in Cheng Chumo's camp.

"I'm Xuanwei Hou, I have General Cheng's seal here, and you put down the hanging basket." Xuan Shijing shouted.

The two or three soldiers guarding the city muttered to the captain for a while, and the captain nodded, and someone next to him put down the hanging basket.

Xuan Shijing stepped forward, took out Cheng Chumo's seal letter from his arms, and put it in the hanging basket, the hanging basket rose to the city wall, and the captain took out the seal letter in the hanging basket and looked at it, it was indeed Cheng Chumo's print, and then asked again: "Is there an officer in the general camp Cheng in the team?" ”

The steward in the previous battalion stepped forward: "General Cheng's lieutenant Zhao Ying is here, and Brother He still knows me." ”

Xuan Shijing looked at Zhao Ying, who came to him on a horse, and secretly wrote down his name.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhao Xian, wait a minute, Brother Wei immediately ordered the people below to open the city gate." After repeated confirmation, the captain who defended the city ordered the soldiers under the gate to open the gate.

Xuan Shijing and Zhao Ying walked in front, Long'er and Gao Jun were behind them, followed by a large team of auxiliaries, and on the flanks of the auxiliaries were infantry guarding.

"Subordinate He Zhengyang visited the Marquis of Xuanwei."

The person who saluted Xuan Shijing in front of him was the captain who was on the city wall just now, since this is really Cheng Chumo's subordinate, then the person in front of him said that he was Xuanwei Hou, then it must be true, but he didn't expect that Datang would have such a young Hou Ye, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

If He Zhengyang knew that Xuan Shijing was sealed in his lifetime, I don't know how he would feel.

"Captain He doesn't have to be polite, the enemy is current, and Shijing still has something to trust." Xuan Shijing hurriedly helped He Zhengyang up.

"Although Master Hou commanded, he would not give up in the next ten thousand deaths." He Zhengyang said that Xuan Shijing had no official position in the army, so He Zhengyang only claimed to be subordinate, not subordinate.

"General Cheng Chumo is fighting with the Tibetan army in the front, just to buy some time for the big camp here, and now that the big camp has entered Shicheng, I want Captain He to send some people to Shijing so that he can pick up General Cheng." Xuan Shijing said, when he left, Xuan Shijing noticed that the people in Tubo were fighting more and more, and although the increase in the number of people was invisible to the naked eye, Cheng Chumo, who had been fighting with the Tubo people for some time, had already felt it keenly.

Although I don't want to see the tragic appearance of the battlefield again, but for the sake of Cheng Chumo, Xuan Shijing has no second choice, Gao Jun is not safe enough, and Long'er, an ordinary girl's family, has no experience at all, let her go to the battlefield, Xuan Shijing can't do it, so only Xuan Shijing and Zhao Ying or He Zhengyang brought people to pick up.

He Zhengyang thought for a while, looked at Zhao Ying, but couldn't make up his mind for a while, although Xuan Shijing is a Hou Ye, but this is a front-line battlefield, let alone a Hou Ye, even if the prince comes, he has no right to speak.

Zhao Ying, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but worry about the safety of his general, and immediately said: "Brother He doesn't have to be embarrassed, now that the team has entered Shicheng, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, Brother He only needs to arrange the auxiliary soldiers in the camp for the younger brother, there are more than 100 people in the camp, and we will go with the Hou Ye to pick up General Cheng." ”

"Brother Zhao Xian's subordinates are all foot soldiers, how to go to pick them up, in this way, I will send a hundred cavalry to the little marquis, and Brother Zhao Xian's hundred foot soldiers will stay in my camp first to fill up, in case the top comes to patrol the camp." He Zhengyang said.

The administrative power of Shicheng is not in the hands of these military, it is subordinate to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, in order to improve the control of the entire northwest border, the Beiting Jiedu of Tingzhou has sent a county guard to each city, stationed in these towns, inspecting the Quartet, gathering news, and sending it to the Metropolitan Protectorate of Tingzhou, He Zhengyang did this, nothing more than to deal with the above.

Xuan Shijing said: "In this case, then Shijing has thanked Captain He here, please don't close the city gate first, if General Cheng breaks through, the Tubo people will definitely bite in the rear, and then General Cheng's troops can quickly enter the city." ”

"Hmm." He Zhengyang nodded: "I know, Master Hou and be careful." ”

Xuan Shijing turned around and instructed Long'er and Gao Jun: "You two are in the city, help dispatch the auxiliary troops, we are stationed in Shicheng, I don't know how long we will stay, and the materials and everything must be placed, this is the capital for us to settle down next." ”
