Northeast of Mashhad, two small hills close to the river valley, the camp of the Tang people's eastward return team, Cheng Shouru's tent was boiling in the sky.

"General Cheng, General Luo handed over all the defense to you before leaving, but he didn't say that he wanted to arrest people in the camp, right?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a hat and a Tang costume, dressed as a scribe.

"That's right, what the Zhang family said makes sense, Cheng Jiajun, you are now the backbone of our Tang people, why do you ask outsiders to shout in our camp?" Standing beside the middle-aged scribe were well-dressed and well-pampered, and this casual speaker was wearing a gorgeous light gauze robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, the price of which could be exchanged for a good sweaty BMW (Akhal-Tejin horse), but the owner of the clothes was a little obsessed with his figure, which ruined its overall appearance.

"That's reasonable, General Cheng, the descendants of our Datang craftsman battalion are one, why do you have to listen to him when someone surnamed Luo comes? Of course, I don't mean that it's wrong to listen to the surname Luo, it's just that a few outsiders surnamed Luo can also show off their might in the camp, there is no reason for this! "Sitting next to the fat man is a strong man with five big and three thick, his name is Peng Nianzu, who is well-known in the Tang camp, but because he had some relationship with the Pei family, Sylfan was excluded when he was preparing, and he was almost swept out when Ardabil was purging, and now he belongs to the marginal people.

"It's still what Peng Da said, General Luo led us back to the East, and we have seen and appreciated the hard work along the way, but this doesn't allow us to listen to a few foreign guys at will." A guy with a small Persian hat on his head also casually said, if it weren't for the fluent Chinese, this guy would look like an authentic Iranian.

As long as there is a beginning to complain, there is no shortage of people to follow, and there are always some people who feel that he is the second and the third in the world, and they want to point fingers and say a few words in everything.

They were all acquaintances of the Tang camp, Cheng Shouru couldn't cut face, so he let them into the camp, and after listening to the words of the people, his head was suddenly as big as a fight, and he was full of regret.

Things have to start from the day after Lao Luo led the cavalry team to leave, and I don't know what went wrong, there began to be a large group of enemies in the camp, and Luo Kaixian led the team to escape as the main general. The entire main camp is only tens of thousands of people, this rumor has spread all over the country in half a day, the soldiers of the garrison camp know more about the details, it has no effect, and the old people of the Li family and the Zhang family also understand the truth, because it has long been agreed that Li Xuan will be in charge of the chores of the team, so he will not do mixing, and the most troublesome thing is the ordinary people at the bottom who don't know anything, because the rumors make people panic.

At this time, Sidd Nord came forward, worthy of being a guy known as the blue-eyed devil, and arrested seventy or eighty people as soon as he made a move, accused of trying to spread rumors and disturb people's hearts.

Speaking of the ground cage, it is a kind of one-meter-square semi-underground square pit, surrounded by arm-thick logs, with a cover to protect from the rain on the top, and the torture equipment of a blindfolded donkey is then stuffed into this cage, and at most one hour a day can relax and eat, and it is estimated that those who have the opportunity to enjoy it will be more uncomfortable than dead.

Siddürk Nord is a guy who doesn't eat oil and salt, and that's the impression he gives most people in the whole main camp. For two days in a row, more than 100 people were arrested, and more than 500 people pleaded for reason, and no one could touch the wooden man, even the current private manager Li Xuan was helpless.

So the people involved changed their goals and found Cheng Shouru's side.

What can Cheng Shouru do? He didn't have any way, when Lao Luo was in the camp, he sometimes felt that Lao Luo's whole day was either stuffy in the tent or the guys who were wandering around didn't make a difference. Now that he really bears the defense of the entire main camp, he knows that everyone can say empty words, and only when he really does things do things can he feel the pressure of a heavy mountain.

The so-called inappropriate family does not know the price of firewood and rice, although the trivial matters at hand are not piled up, but as long as you open your eyes in the morning until midnight, don't think about stopping. Fortunately, military discipline and civilian affairs have been separated, and the defense of the camp has the perfect plan set by Lao Luo before leaving, and he only needs to improve the entire plan step by step. But just after two days of busy business, new troubles came, these original acquaintances came to the door, and Cheng Shouru fell into a contradiction for a while.

"Zhang Jiaming, Ma Benli, Peng Nianzu, Li Siwei!" In the tradition of the Han people in this era, it is not polite to call the full name, even though these Tang people have been influenced by many Central Asian customs, Cheng Shouru still shows his annoyance, "You comment so on General Luo's affairs, aren't you afraid that he will come back to find you trouble?" ”

After a long time of contradictions, after all, Lao Luo's weight is heavier, Cheng Shouru still remembers Zu Xun, the Cheng family likes to bet on treasure, but they can't distinguish between right and wrong, after figuring out this, Cheng Shouru's anger naturally broke out.

"You said that the reckless man surnamed Luo can come back? Don't dream, the one surnamed Luo only took more than 2,000 people on the expedition, but there were 70,000 or 80,000 people on the Ghaznavid side, and everyone fought forty of them, and the Turkmen were not scarecrows! The surname Luo is just arrogant and hitting the stone with an egg, maybe he is already in two places at this time. As a side line of the Zhang family, although Zhang Jiaming is not valued by the patriarch, he is still very well-informed. As for Cheng Shouru's so-called anger, he didn't care.

"Hehe, Zhang Jiaming, you are really smart enough, General Luo led people to kill nearly 10,000 thieves all the way from Xierfan, and there were nearly 10,000 thieves in the Dhamgan Valley, and nearly 10,000 were killed by a fire......" Although Cheng Shouru is not a fierce general who attacks, as a soldier, his mind is not so easy to be hit by words. So without waiting for the others to speak, he fired directly at Zhang Jiaming, "You Zhang Jiaming want to muddy the waters, the purpose is to get the favor of your Zhang family patriarch, right?" ”

I can't help but say that although Cheng Shouru, a soldier, is not pure, he has the Cheng family's family education tradition, and his brain is never given in vain.

"You, you! Where did General Cheng start with this? Although I am a member of the Zhang family, I am also a member of this Donggui team, so I naturally have to consider this group......" Zhang Jiaming almost pulled off the beard on his chin, his face turned red and white, and he finally didn't dare to fall out with Cheng Shouru in this general's tent.

The two of them almost started to move in a few words, and several people next to them were suddenly a little dumbfounded, and Peng Nianzu, who was a little conceited and a little brave, felt that he had something to do with Cheng Shouru, so he hurriedly stood up and said peace, "General Cheng, what Zhang Lang said is a bit excessive, isn't it also for the sake of the entire Dongxing clan, the Turkmen on the Ghaznavid side are really not easy to mess with, surnamed Luo...... General Luo only brought 2,000 people, which is too different from the number of people, so it is inevitable that everyone will have ideas. ”

Peng Nianzu's words seem to be reasonable, but Cheng Shouru has a different opinion, first of all, according to his understanding, the big man Luo Kaixian who returned from afar has never been a person who plays cards according to common sense, and when he was in the south of Damgan, he felt that the insurmountable valley trade route killed 10,000 people in one night, but his own losses were minimal. At the moment when Dhamgan cleaned up the battlefield, as a soldier, Cheng Shouru was not happy for the victory, but amazed and feared by Luo Kaixian's keen and decisive sense of smell on the battlefield.

The amazement is because there is such a guy in the world who is good at seizing the opportunity of the battlefield, and he is afraid that one day he will become the enemy of the other party.

As far as he Cheng Shouru knows, Pei Sihai, Wei Yuan, Bahamir Gongqing, and Pasar ...... None of these people can be regarded as heroes, but each one is worse than the other, and the last Pasar is directly used as a sacrifice.

As for the guys in front of me who are babbling nonsense in their tents, they are just clowns jumping off the beam. Peng Nianzu, who was a peacemaker, was a little scheming, and he was also a short-sighted fool who didn't know right from wrong, who would it be good for him to mess up the camp?

"Peng Nianzu, stop it! How General Luo fights, you can't rely on it, if you have the ability to kill a few Turkmen, show me, if you don't have the ability, don't be a wise man! Cheng Shouru, who has figured it out, is ruthless, as a city defender for many years, and now he has to rack his brains for the safety of tens of thousands of people, where can he tolerate a few so-called acquaintances roaring in his tent?

Scheming people are always a little inferior in terms of courage, and as soon as Cheng Shouru's tough words came out, the people who originally had ideas to speak in the camp tent were suddenly a little speechless.

When Cheng Shouru's military tent fell into an eerie silence, the curtain at the door of the tent was lifted, and a personal soldier walked in, "General, military judge Siedeknord is here." ”

"Please!" Cheng Shouru breathed a sigh of relief, it's not easy to do things that please both sides, and-for-tat things are also exhausting. It's really not easy to defend the camp, you have to defend it externally, and you also have to defend it internally.

The first thing Sidrk Nord did after entering the camp was to directly face the miscellaneous people in the old Cheng tent, that's right, a few guys who talked nonsense to Cheng Shouru were miscellaneous people, "General Cheng wait, let me help you clean up the debris." ”

Cheng Shouru couldn't wait to hand over the hot potato next to him, so naturally he wouldn't have any ideas.

"Zhang, Ma, Peng, and Li, please go to the Judge Advocate General's Office and sit down, and please talk about something." Sidüntür Nord is really scary when he puts on his face, with deep blue eyes and typical white skin, a face like an angular stone.

"Sidike, we haven't done anything, what are you going to do? Don't go! Zhang Jiaming, who was strong and courageous, replied a little inwardly.

"I'm afraid it's up to you whether you go or not! Come! "Sidd Nord is not afraid that anyone will dare to resist, this rigid Germanic man's authorization to Lao Luo is absolutely first-class.

"Wait! What mistakes did we make? Why? Ma Benli, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was now a businessman, and he wanted to let Zhang Peng and the others come out, but now he had to speak.

"Why? It's up to you to spread rumors in the camp, disturb the morale of the army, and endanger the safety of the camp! "Sidd has been in charge of military law for nearly a year, so he is naturally familiar with military orders and discipline, and his original intention when he came here was to take away these culprits.

"You have no proof! Empty words slander people! I want to see the Great Elder! "Of course, a few people refused to be arrested, and when they were caught by soldiers wearing military police armbands, they were still swaying from side to side and struggling desperately.

Siddeck Nord smiled coldly, "You'd better be honest, since I dare to say it, there must be witness evidence, and it's not my responsibility to be beaten by the military law soldiers anymore." ”

Maybe it was Siedek Nord's expression that frightened, or maybe it was because he was afraid of being beaten by the military lawyers, several people instantly became honest, and when they were escorted out of the tent, the last Li Siwei turned his head and asked, "Judge Jun, what kind of punishment will we receive?" ”

"First grounded in the military justice department, as for how to punish it, when the general returns, there will naturally be a public opinion!" There are too many people involved this time, and Sidd Knord has to worry about it, so waiting for Lao Luo to return is the best way.

The few people who were escorted away no longer had the strength to argue, and went to the Judge Advocate General's Office with their heads bowed. In the tent here, Cheng Shouru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
