Bai Fan smiled bitterly, "Brother Hou is really vicious-eyed, in my group of junior brothers, even I was planted at the beginning, they are definitely good at water."

Later, I saw that they were not ordinary bandits, so I simply gave them a clear way, and let them set up a business alliance on the river to specialize in transportation.

As for the matter of joining the army, the younger brother can't call the shots, Brother Hou can go to them to discuss by himself, as long as they are willing to talk to you, I raise my hand in favor. ”

"So, well!"

The salvage work was very smooth, with the cooperation of 3,000 people, 300 big ships, only 70 ships of goods were salvaged, and it was also the dry period of the Yangtze River, plus Bai Fan also went into the water to help, so all of them were salvaged before noon the next day, and there were a lot of boxes.

Just when Bai Fan and Hou Junji were discussing the disposal of the corpse of the dead in battle, Xue Wanjun, who had sorted out the immortal grain on the other side, simply had nothing to do, looking at the pile of immortal grain that had been burned, he felt a pain in his heart, thinking that now that the fire was extinguished, he would go and pick it up, maybe he could get a few boxes of residual immortal grain.

didn't call anyone, Xue Wanjun just raised the big axe, and slashed down on a pile of ashes alone.

Everyone else has their own duties, so they didn't pay attention to this general who went crazy from time to time, knowing that he was stimulated, maybe it would be good to vent.

After cutting a stick of incense, Xue Wanjun cut out a one-person wide opening, and his whole body was already like black charcoal, stained with black soot, which was blacker than the coal digging workers.

With a click, Xue Wanjun felt that he had chopped the wood, and he was happy in his heart, there was really goods, it seemed that the goods were stacked compactly, and the boxes in the center were probably not burned yet.

With a few axes, he split a big hole in the box that exposed the blackened corner, Xue Wanjun carefully put his arm into it, wanting to see if the fairy food was okay, and that look was even more cautious than taking care of his own children.

Suddenly, Xue Wanjun exclaimed.

Everyone looked back at him in unison.

Bai Fan took a look, it's not good, this rammer, what is it to provoke this thing?

With a light effort, the two dodged and rushed into the ashes, and stepped forward to grab Xue Wanjun.

"Ah, Jane? Look, this, this is ......"

Without waiting for Xue Wanjun to finish speaking, Bai Fan flicked it lightly, and when Xue Wanjun fainted, Bai Fan held it up, and said in his heart that he couldn't help Da Xue, and some things were still not known.

"Come on, quickly, General Da Xue can't bear the blow of the destruction of the immortal grain, and he faints, quickly carry him to the tent to rest."

Hugging Xue Wanjun and turning around, Bai Fan waved his right hand, and countless black ashes filled in the big hole in the box.

Hou Junji saw Bai Fan come out with Xue Wanjun in his arms, and sighed: "Hey! Da Xue is also from a poor background, and this immortal grain is more important than his own life, so he has such an action.

Fortunately, it was not Lao Niu who came this time, if it was Lao Niu, maybe he would rather be burned to death with the fairy food, Lao Niu is the worst one among the generals. ”

Hou Junji didn't know that Niu Jinda was already trapped in the Northeast at this time, and life and death were unpredictable.

"Brother Hou, we are still twenty days away from Chang'an, even if the weather is still cold now, it is still unrealistic to transport the bodies of our brothers back intact, so we can only burn them on the spot and bring back the ashes."

Looking back at the corpses placed by the river, Hou Junji couldn't help but nod his head, the big thing is important, and there is still half of the immortal food waiting for everyone to escort it.

"After everything is done, I will send a military report to Your Majesty, and I will bear all the blame for the crimes."

Sent 5,000 soldiers to the nearby mountains and forests to cut down the number of dead people, this time the Tang Dynasty killed 3,000 Xuanjia troops, nearly 1,000 Daomen protectors, and the 3,000 troops of the left guard fought with the enemy's cavalry to break more than 2,000, leaving less than 1,000 people in stock.

In other words, in this battle, the Tang Dynasty lost 6,000 men and horses, and the Tibetan side did not get any benefits, the 5,000 cavalry of the Protector Battalion did not survive, and the killer team also died more than 1,000.

It took a whole day just to dig a pit and bury the corpses of the enemy. Many people in the Left Guard army are reluctant to do it, and they want the enemy's violent corpse wilderness, so how can it, the corpses of six thousand people? What if you don't deal with the plague that causes it? Hou Junji scolded and scolded, and then he buried it hastily.

In the general's tent, Bai Fan sat next to Xue Wanjun, who was beaten unconscious by Bai Fan and woke up until night.

"Shhh Why is the back of my neck so stiff? Didn't you sleep well? Xue Wanjun said in a daze.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xue Wanjun was excited, "Ah, Jianzhi? Why are you here? How did I fall asleep?

By the way, fairy food, you know what? I ......"

Bai Fan pointed it at the dumb point with one finger, and at the same time pressed it on the bed, and whispered: "I know everything you know, now I will give you an explanation, you are not allowed to shout, and you are not allowed to reveal it, this is top secret military information, you know?" ”

Xue Wanjun nodded, his eyes wide open and waiting for Bai Fan's explanation.

"Someone, please ask General Hou to come and discuss the military situation."

Not long after, Hou Junji was invited from the tent, and Bai Fan went out and ordered: "No one is allowed within a hundred steps!" ”

"Jane, what are you?

Oh? Da Xue woke up? You too, we still have one and a half of immortal food, and that half has already burned, why do you cry and faint again? ”

……

Xue Wanjun looked confused, his face was red but he couldn't speak.

Bai Fan pulled Hou Junji and sat next to Xue Wanjun, and explained: "What I said next is that the military plane is top secret, and there are no more than five people who know about this matter. ”

Hou Junji saw that Bai Fan was so serious, knowing that it was a big deal, and he nodded solemnly.

"Actually, what we are escorting is not real fairy grain, but rice from the south."

"What......"

Bai Fan stretched out his hand to cover Hou Junji's mouth, shook his head and said: "When we were in Chang'an, we expected that we would inevitably encounter people to rob us on this trip, even if it was not today's Tubo, there would be others, such as Goguryeo, or Khitan and other countries, but I don't know why it was Tubo, and others didn't come."

Moreover, His Majesty said that he would strictly guard against internal moles, and he would ensure that he would not lose a single grain, but he tried everything he could, but he still couldn't make sure that he was foolproof during the escort.

So I can only use this trick to hide from the world.

Our team is going to transport grain with great fanfare, no one dares to provoke it, even if someone comes, we will destroy the enemy, the reason why we don't even tell you is to fake it.

If the road is smooth, then the whole country knows that we transported the fairy grain back to Chang'an, if it is not smooth, we will resist the disaster, and the fairy grain will still be undamaged. ”

Hou Junji wanted to ask, but Bai Fan stopped him and said: "Don't ask me how the real immortal food was transported, this is even more top secret, only me, Your Majesty, and Feng An, the king of Yue, know, forgive me." ”

After a long time, Hou Junji finally digested everything, and he was unwilling, and complained slightly: "Jian Zhi, our Xuanjia Army, I knew this was the case, Lao Zhang and Lao Zhai ......."

Bai Fan shook his head, "No, they didn't die in vain, if we don't desperately protect the grain, in case the enemy knows that we are fake food, then the real immortal grain will be in danger, so ......

Lao Zhang Lao Zhai and Xuanjia Jun are also my Bai Fan's brothers, they only hate me for killing water ghosts, and they are late in the water, otherwise they wouldn't have to die. ”

Xue Wanjun's face turned red in a hurry, and he kept shaking his head at Bai Fan, Bai Fan smiled and said: "Da Xue, you are a rectum, you must not think of refuting it......"

Hou Junji was puzzled: "Da Xue, just say what you want to say, what are you shaking your head?" ”

Xue Wanjun: ......

After a stick of incense, Xue Wanjun stopped struggling, and Bai Fan unlocked the acupoint for him.

"Lao Tzu can think about it, I just want to say that as long as the fairy food is fine, even if I die, but you just won't let me speak......"

Bai Fan: ......

Hou Junji thought to himself, his brother did not die in vain, but I seem to have been beaten by Da Xue in a rage, isn't it...... Beaten for nothing?

"The matter has been explained, don't tell anyone else, not even King Jin.

There may be a few boxes of burned immortal grain that have survived, and the fact that it is rice must not be leaked, tomorrow the three of us will personally dig it out, and burn it with the Xuanjia Army, which can be regarded as letting them know and be at ease. ”
