For Luo Kaixian, it was easy to appease the little lady who was woken up by the pine cannon, neither Li Ji nor Ge Rina were pampered, so after the man said a few words of explanation, the main tent of this temporary camp quickly returned to calm.

The seemingly cunning "bandits" were entangled for two days, but they accidentally lost everyone's future, and more than half of them lost their lives, as the main messenger Luo and his personal army even dispatched only a few dozen people, even if the whole process of cleaning the battlefield was added, the total time spent was only an hour.

Of course, there are still people who bother and consume energy, and Hiller, who is in charge of interrogation within the pro-soldiers, was busy all night, and when Luo Kaixian and his female dependents were ready to have breakfast in the early morning, a thick interrogation record had been placed in front of Luo in an orderly manner, and then handed to him together, as well as the battlefield summary that Alki hastily wrote in the early morning.

Luo Kaixian was eating the breakfast made by the soldiers while looking through the documents submitted by the two people. Neither Orgie nor Sherler's handwriting was very good, and Chinese characters and Latin were mixed together, which gave him a headache and a little relieved.

No matter what, the embryo killing that used to only know how to fight to the death has become what it is now, and he still feels that he has done nothing wrong.

As for many people of Oriental descent muttering behind their backs that he values Westerners too much, he also knows it, but he doesn't care at all, the bloodline theory is just an excuse to seek profits, no one knows better than him, and as long as he can still wield a sword, he doesn't worry about anyone daring to go against his will!

rubbed his forehead and finished reading the two reports, and then calmed Li Siniang, who had been nagging on the side for a long time, and took advantage of the fact that there was no movement on the side of Tongwan City, he called Olki and Hiller to him.

"Olki, Syller, have you counted the number of prisoners? I can't see clearly at night, how many people are running away? ”

"Back to the general, most of the enemies in the northwest direction have been shattered by stones, and there is chaos in many places, but it can still be seen that the number of people fleeing from the two directions will never exceed six!" When it came to business, everyone's faces were serious, especially Alki, a somewhat sullen fellow, who stubbornly called them enemies despite the fact that they were only attacking like thieves.

Luo Kaixian admired this kind of rigorous character, and in his opinion, a person with Olki's character might not be able to be a general in the Quartet, but because of his meticulous and rigorous almost conservative character, he is the most suitable defender. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't speak, just nodded, motioning for the Bulgarian to continue.

Olki bowed and continued: "General, those people are not thieves, they are warriors, they have been trained for a long time and have seen blood-red warriors! According to the results of the interrogation, the two departments of Yeli and Duluo among the party members were very repulsive to us, should we send someone to investigate the results of the interrogation? Or...... Sending people to attack directly? ”

"Warriors? They don't look like warriors when they flee in panic at night! ”

Because he didn't rest all night, the gray-faced Hiller added with some urns on the side: "General, they didn't plan to sneak attack, but our camp was built too fast, and on the previous road, they didn't see us with wooden fences and tents, and there were too many things in the camp that they couldn't figure out, so ...... Later, I was frightened by your archery, no one can shoot so accurately at night, and ...... And at least a hundred steps away! ”

Curiosity kills cats, is this a version of this era? Luo Kaixian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he smiled unsatisfactorily, "Okay, count them warriors...... But they are also our enemies! Act the way a bandit does, that's a bandit! As for Olki, you said sending people to scout or attack...... Not at the moment! In Xiazhou, Li Deming is still in charge, and he should deal with it first, if no one comes out to give us a proper answer......"

"Recruit people from Lingzhou to beat them?" Hiller, who was standing aside in an orderly manner, had a look of adoration in his eyes, and said half a sentence in Luo Kaixian's tone.

"Nope! There are only two departments, Yeli and Duluo, why do you need to transfer people from Lingzhou? Luo Kai stood up first, stopped Alki's action of wanting to help, straightened the robe on his body, and then continued: "Don't forget, you are the fighting arena soldiers who followed me all the way from Athens, and the strongest soldiers in the army are also the most selected soldiers in the army. ”

"Yes, the general, the subordinates dare not forget!" Olki and Hiller stood straight and said in unison.

"Good!" The etiquette in the army is always done bit by bit, Luo Kaixian is very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, "Remove the female dependents who can't fight, we have four hundred people, which means that the Yeli Department and the Duluo Department must take out two thousand people to fight!" In the transcript of your interrogation, those men confessed that there were 40,000 soldiers in the Yeli and Dura tribes...... Oh, I don't know if the people you're interrogating are deliberately exaggerating their strength, or if they're counting all the old and weak...... But what if there were 40,000 soldiers? When I was in Herat before, what was the name of that Ghaznavid general? Didn't they claim to have 100,000 people? The result? ”

Alki and Sylle both had a relaxed smile on their faces, and the person in front of them who gave them a lecture was a general who had led hundreds of thousands of people on a journey of tens of thousands of miles! The tens of thousands of miles traveled, not to mention the arduous journey, how many enemies have been killed? Although the place in which you are not familiar is not enough, as long as there is the general in front of you, there is no place in the world that you can't go!

The so-called soldier is the courage of the general, and there is a corresponding sentence, which will be the soul of the soldier, which is not bad at all.

Luo Kaixian was impatient with these words, the purpose was very simple - to educate his subordinates to appease people's hearts, not only to remind his subordinates not to be too worried, but also to make them aware that it was a small team of only 400 people, not a time when there were 10,000 cavalry guards around at any time.

"The Lord means ......" Luo Kaixian's words made people a little confused, and Alki asked suspiciously.

Luo Kaixian said: "This time I went to Zhao Song, there are very few people with the team, and there is no backup, among the people who have had such an experience, except for Olki, there are only the three of you Sylle and Antiano, and the rest of the soldiers are newly selected, you have to remind everyone, pay attention to discipline, don't be negligent!" ”

Olki reacted immediately and said, "Please rest assured that the Lord will be conveyed to everyone later!" ”

Hiller was selected from the Judge Advocate General's Office, and he was used to showing his cold face, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.

Luo didn't want to inspect his subordinates, so he easily explained: "Hiller, your duty is to take your ten people and keep an eye on the discipline in the team, that's your duty...... But don't forget your instincts! ”

"Obey, Lord!" Almost everyone who came out of the Judge Advocate General's Office had a cold face, and Hiller was no different.

Luo Kai waved his hand first, "Okay, let's get busy!" Alki, order the sentinels in the north to pay attention to the perimeter, and if Wang Nan or Lu Shouren come, tell them to come in and meet me directly!" ”

"Understood, Lord!" After Olki agreed, he and Sherle said goodbye and went to work separately.

Luo Kaixian, who was left alone in the middle tent, was silent and sat for a long time.

Faintly, he felt that going east to the Song Realm this time might not be a good decision.

Entering the winter, the camp in Lingzhou is all right, it is said that after being tired all the way, Luo has married a new wife, and he should be able to rest in peace.

However, if you want to do things well, it is not wise to shake off the shopkeeper, especially for a newly pulled up force like Luo, it is necessary to bow down to everything.

Luo Kaixian relied on his self-confidence and his assessment of the situation in the entire Hexi region in this era, and discussed with the elders in the Lingzhou camp many times, and came to an almost 100% conclusion - the population will definitely expand rapidly in the coming year, and the food pressure will be infinitely expanded.

All kinds of ideas can't solve the problem of having a full stomach, so there is this not so timely trip to Song Jing to buy grain.

It's just that the trip to Song Realm can really go well?

Relying on the impression of the Song Land obtained from the history books to act is actually not only an adventure, but also a test of the waters.

It is said to be a risk, but in fact, compared with all kinds of things along the way, the risk is not great.

Even in the most difficult situation - being besieged by the border army of Zhao and Song, Luo Kaixian was sure that he would save the lives of most of the people who accompanied him, which was nothing more than murder.

The so-called risk is actually whether the plan to purchase grain can be carried out smoothly. Of course, if he can't buy enough food as expected, Luo Kaixian can also solve it - it's not impossible to do it once like Tbilisi or Herat.

The worry hidden in Luo Kaixian's heart was not an external cause, but himself. In terms of inheritance, Zhao Song in the East should be regarded as his spiritual mother country, although he has never lived in that country, he still has some feelings of homesickness.

He wasn't sure what he would do after he arrived in the Song Realm, such as what to do when he saw the children of the eunuchs oppressing the people? What should we do when we see people in the military being humiliated by civilian officials? What if the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were concerned about his goods?

Unlike the Fatimids, Eastern Romans, Abbasids, and the small city-states of Central Asia that he passed through along the way, he could turn a blind eye to many things at that time, and he could also kill with his heart, but what about the spiritual mother country in the East?

Outrage? Decisive killing? Blind eye? Don't listen and don't ask?

Obviously, no matter what kind of response you take, it will inevitably have a different impact, either on others or on yourself.

After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Kaixian, who had been sitting for a while, could only leave a wry smile on his face in the end, and secretly sighed that he was still thinking too much, but now he has forced himself into a psychological dilemma, and the old experience can't solve the problem at all.

Luo Kaixian stood up a little helplessly, wanting to go to the back tent to see what the two little ladies were busy with, Alki lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in, "General, Wang Nan, Lu Shouren and Li Deming, the leader of the party, are coming to visit, just outside the north gate of the camp......"

The "guest" who had been waiting for a night finally arrived.
