Ever since Su Ling reported that Chen's army had attacked Dingyuan Pass and the governor was forced to return to Lu Dongli, the rear counties had been waiting for the documents from Dingyuan Pass to report the military situation to arrive in order to determine whether the situation was dangerous or safe.

However, after waiting and waiting, Dingyuan Pass was quiet and did not move at all. Everyone became more and more bottomless, and finally the governor personally sent an official letter inquiring about the military situation to Dingyuan Pass.

After receiving the official document, Lu Dongli's brows furrowed unconsciously, how to reply?

Tell the rear that we are fighting here and that it is extremely dangerous?

That's a no-no.

There is nothing wrong with spreading rumors that there is going to be a war, but it is absolutely impossible to conceal such a thing for a long time if it is not to go to war. The relevant battles, casualties, merits, rewards and punishments must all be reported in accordance with the rules, and the relevant supplies, reinforcements, and pensions must also be presented to the household military headquarters. If the imperial court is alarmed again, and then there is a dispatch of troops, reinforcements or something, it will really make the crime of beheading the king bigger.

However, he directly told the rear that there was nothing to do, it was just a combat exercise simulating the siege of the Chen army, and there must not be a bunch of people who were in a hurry to lose their popularity, and this time the military weapons were all temporarily requisitioned from the garrisons and treasury of various counties. Afterwards, the governor would have to use a large sum of money to redistribute weapons to the county garrisons, and this expenditure would presumably be accounted for by the Nine Kings and the governor.

That said, I did it. I don't care about making enemies, but if these people, regardless of the overall situation, make trouble for him at this moment, make a stumbling block, and do something to make Dingyuanguan suffer, in case it happens again that Chen Jun really fights......

Lu Dongli stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. Put the official document in the corner of the table, and then put the official document in custody for two days.

"What's the matter, why are we so worried." When the lazy and careless voice came, Lu Dongli looked up with a wry smile and asked, "Jinjie, these days." Have our spies ever detected Chen Jun's movements? ”

Feng Jinjie shrugged: "In front of Dingyuan Pass is the desert of ten thousand miles, and few of our spies can go deep into the depths of the desert, and even if they go in, it is difficult to find out the military information in that windy and sandy place." The latest military information we received about Chen's army was also a month ago, and they requisitioned the army's grain and grass in the side mirror, which looked like they were fighting a big battle. However, even this military situation was only discovered through the Mosha people and the large and small desert tribes that submitted to them. Later, Chen's army was heavily guarded at the border. Even the major tribes of the desert could not get close. ”

Lu Dongli sighed and handed over the official document: "Look at ......"

The Wind Festival took over. glanced at it lightly and said with a smile: "If it's me." There are always many ways to deal with the past, and if you take too much care of it, you will naturally be troubled. ”

"If everyone in the world is as lawless as you......" no longer said, obviously not wanting to think much about it.

Feng Jinjie laughed unconsciously: "It seems that our Lu Dashuai's biggest worry is that the Chen army has not yet attacked, haha?" ”

Lu Dongli reprimanded: "You are talking nonsense again, the soldiers are murder weapons." It's a joke, and it shouldn't be said like that. I just feel that we can't grasp Chen Jun's dynamics, and I'm very uneasy. ”

Feng Jin nodded: "Okay, I understand, I am going to leave for the Mosha Clan tomorrow, and then I will personally tell their patriarch, and the strong men of the whole clan will patrol the desert recently, once they find out about the movements of the Chen army, they will immediately inform us, this time, their defense line will be broken by the Chen army again, and we will not forgive him again." ”

Lu Dongli was slightly stunned: "You will go to the Mosha Clan tomorrow?" ”

"The Mosha tribe's annual festival is coming, this is the grandest festival of their tribe, and in the past, at this time of year, people would be sent to Dingyuanguan to invite the generals of the kingdom to come to them as guests, and thank the gods with their people. In the past, successive commanders looked down on them barbarians, and always assigned a general to deal with things casually. But since I arrived at Dingyuan Pass, this errand has basically been done by me. Today, the elders sent by the Mosha tribe to entertain guests have entered the customs, and I have come to report this matter to you. Feng Jinjie explained lightly.

Lu Dongli nodded, with the prestige of the Wind Festival in the Mosha Clan now, it would be a suitable candidate for him to go to the Mosha Clan. But his heart moved again, and he suddenly said, "How about I go with you?" ”

Feng Jinjie was stunned: "You are going too?" ”

"Yes, the Mosha Clan is the outer barrier of our Dingyuan Pass, and we have always relied on them to listen to the enemy's situation in the desert. Seeing that the war was imminent, as the commander of Dingyuan Pass, I personally went to meet their patriarch, understand their strength, and take a look at their soldiers and defense lines, so that I could have the bottom of my heart. Moreover, I believe that in my capacity, if I can treat them with kindness, they will also return the favor to us with loyalty and warmth. ”

Feng Jin nodded: "There has never been a boss who will go to the Mosha Clan station in person before, if you really go, it is indeed a big face, and it is guaranteed to make them go up and down, and they will be moved, but you are the commander-in-chief, leaving Dingyuan Pass......"

Lu Dongli smiled: "It is precisely because I am the coach that I should go." ”

Feng Jinjie knew that he had always been serious in his work, that is, he was in a handsome position, and this matter of the Mosha clan must be done personally, and if he really went, the effect would be great in terms of political goodwill, so he only thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

Sure enough, the elders of the Mosha clan came to entertain them, and as soon as they heard about this trip, not only did they invite General Feng, but even Marshal Lu was willing to personally go to thank their people for their grace and participate in the ceremony, so moved that they knelt down on the spot and kissed the corners of Lu Dongli's robe.

The other generals were amazed when they heard the news, but they did not stop them.

After Lu Dongli entrusted the military affairs of Guanzhong to the generals, he took three hundred elite horsemen with Feng Jinjie and went out of the customs with the elders of the Mosha tribe.

This time it is not like the last time to carry out a night attack, the whole army is at full speed

Chi, everyone hurried unhurriedly, and gradually entered the depths of the desert.

At the beginning, everyone was still in good spirits, but on the morning of the third day of walking in the desert, even these elite soldiers in Dingyuan Pass gradually showed fatigue.

Monotonous and repetitive for a long time, for a long time, people rarely rest on horses, exposed to the scorching and merciless sun for a long time, looking at the world, between heaven and earth, only the vast yellow sand, endless, indeed make people feel deep fatigue from the mind to the body.

The entire team, except for the Fengjin Festival, which is at the top of the martial arts, is like no one, only the elders of the Mosha Clan, who are completely adapted to the desert, are still in good spirits.

Since learning that Lu Dongli will be traveling with them, their euphoria has remained until now. The old elder, always riding a horse, followed Lu Dongxi, and kept saying to him his reverence and gratitude, saying how happy the patriarch and the people would be at his arrival, and constantly assuring that everyone would greet Lu Dongli with the highest courtesy.

Although Lu Dongli had tried his best to maintain a friendly smile, listen patiently, and respond politely, in the end, even his patience was almost worn out by this overly excited old man.

At this moment, looking at the tired warriors around him, it was really hard to imagine that the old man beside him could be more energetic than those strong men.

Feng Jinjie has been a cold observer of Lu Dongliang's mental torture for the past two days, and has no intention of saving him. At this moment, seeing Lu Dongli endure the pain and smile hard, I felt very interesting in my heart.

Looking at Lu Dongliang, he didn't know if it was because his body was hot, or his heart was hot, he was sweating all the time, and his forehead was sweating like rain, so he could guess in his heart that this was caused by the sun. Or was it forced by the great elders of the Mosha tribe?

Although he was funny in his heart, he still handed over a water bladder in his hand very compassionately, and said with a smile: "Dashuai is tired, right?" ”

Lu Dongli took the water bladder, raised his head and took a big sip, feeling that the wisp of coolness gradually moistened the internal organs that had been annoyed to smoke. He was able to take a breath, look back at the calm and relaxed, under such a poisonous sun, but still have nothing to do, and his heart is not not envious and admirable.

Which ancient person said that the heart is calm and naturally cool? It turns out to be complete nonsense.

Lu Dongli sighed heavily, it couldn't be because his personal cultivation was not enough.

"Jinjie, aren't you hot?"

Feng Jinjie squinted at him: "Don't you know that martial arts practice to the realm can be cold and hot without invasion?" ”

Listening to that tone, it seems like this is common sense that one plus one equals two. Lu Dongli didn't even know it, and it was an unforgivable sin.

Lu Dongli smiled bitterly: "I have also practiced Gong......"

Wind Festival glared at him. Grabbed Bai Dao: "You've only been practicing for a few days, and you're expecting to be able to go to heaven and earth?" Compare with me. Bah, do you know how old I started practicing, do you know how much suffering I have endured, how many sins I have suffered? Do you know how much time and effort I've put in? How dare you compare ...... me?"

He raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Be content, if I hadn't laid a good foundation for you and made you stronger, at this time, you would have fallen down and screamed." I couldn't move, and I was counting on it like this. Continue on your way. ”

They have always been accustomed to being casual, and at this time, they were all guards and soldiers, and no one felt that there was anything wrong, but the elder of the Mosha clan was stunned, this, this, is this the attitude that the general should have when he speaks to the marshal?

If any of them dared to talk to the patriarch like this, they would have been dragged to feed the wolves.

Because he was too frightened, the Great Elder actually didn't talk to Lu Dongli again for a long time.

Lu Dongli was able to drive quietly for a while, and finally asked Feng Jinjie softly with some curiosity: "How high is your martial arts?" ”

"How tall?" Feng Jinjie frowned and thought for a while, "I can't understand it with you for a while, anyway, if you count all the masters of all the countries in the world, temples and recklessness, I will definitely not rank below ten." ”

"It's only in the top ten." Lu Dongli sighed and made a disappointed expression: "With your usual empty look, I always thought you were the number one master in the world." ”

Feng Jinjie glared at him, and said secretly, if it weren't for my classmates, of course I would be the first in the world, but unfortunately, the current number one in the world, theoretically it should be the Han who can sleep with a big head and sleep with peerless magic skills, of course, the premise is that he is willing to be diligent and practice a few more tricks to cooperate with the unparalleled internal force in the world.

As he sulked, the other soldiers all laughed when they heard the marshal mock General Feng like this.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows coldly, and began to estimate in his heart what kind of crime he was guilty of beating the coach.

Lu Dongli ignored his ugly face, just glanced at the sergeants, and saw everyone smiling and having fun like this, the originally tired spirit was also lifted, and he was slightly relieved.

Only then did he whisper to Feng Jinjie: "Our army's combat effectiveness, courage, and adaptability should already be very strong, but for the desert, everyone has never been adapted. In front of Dingyuan Pass is the desert, we can't always think about fighting a defensive battle, when necessary, we must also drive the army outside the pass to fight against the enemy, but also in this vast desert, with the enemy attacking and defending the pursuit......"

Feng Jinjie said lightly: "Okay, okay, after we go back this time, we will start training their actual combat ability in the desert." ”

He was still depressed that Lu Dongli was happy to make fun of him for everyone, but he didn't expect Lu Dongli to come to him immediately to talk to him about business. Although he smiled bitterly in his heart, he also knew that Lu Dongli was right. Not only to cultivate the army's adaptability to the desert, but also to allow them to freely fight in the desert in the future, in the vast desert, calmly dispatch exploration horses, without having to rely on the desert tribe from time to time, and do not even have to rely on the transmission of the desert tribe to rely on the transmission of military information, once the military information of the desert tribe is unreliable, the consequences ......

His heart was slightly cold, and he didn't want to go down anymore.
