At this time, there was a middle-aged man in the tent, wearing a black armor and a red cloak, holding a sword around his waist with one hand, standing in front of a sand table with his back to the tent door, holding a few small stones in the other hand, looking at the sand table in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression, thoughtful. Hearing Wang Ming and Li Jiao'er enter the tent, they didn't turn around and continue to fiddle with the pebbles in their hands.

Wang Ming and Li Jiao'er, who entered the tent, clasped their fists and arched their hands and said, "See the boss." Hearing the shout again, the middle-aged man put down the stone in his hand and turned around, only then did he see the middle-aged man's appearance clearly. This person is about fifty years old, tall, with a face like a heavy jujube, a high nose and a wide forehead, a beard, a pair of sword eyebrows and bright eyes, which makes this person look upright and domineering.

This person is none other than the commander of the Yunping Army, Li Zhen, Li Zhen saw that Li Jiao'er's face was a little not good, and he was a little worried and took the lead in saying, "Jiao'er, is there an accident when you go to investigate the military situation?" Father, I did encounter a little trouble, but I found out that the broken army sent by the Liubarian State has marched to the outside of the Tianliu border, stationed troops in the area of Wazi Mountain, looking at the camp tents, the number of people should be on a par with my Yunping army, about 10,000 people, the army has marched so far, and people are also sleepy and lacking, looking at the form they choose to camp in, it may be that they want to repair the whole army in situ for a few days, according to our personnel in-depth investigation of this time they did not bring much grain and grass."

Hearing what Li Jiao'er said, Li Zhen snapped angrily and slapped the table next to him, only to see a crack open from the surface of the table, extending to the table legs. Li Zhen said angrily, "You and other Xiliang barbarians, so rampant, marching thousands of miles here, and even bringing grain and grass, do you really think that you can take down my Yunping army and break the city."

_Hearing that the master was so angry, Wang Ming hurriedly said, "Master, why are you so angry, in fact, they broke the captivity army this march of thousands of miles, and they didn't bring much grain and grass, and it was not a good opportunity for our army." The march of the barbarian country has to be thousands of miles here, not to mention that it has to go for ten days and half a month, although the Xiliang barbarians are indeed a little rampant, but they also have to pay attention to the overall strength of this captive army, this time our Yunping army and it is inevitable that there will be a vicious battle, they are short of food and grass supplies, and they can't afford to drag it out, and they can't afford to spend it. This is also extremely beneficial for us. However, it seems that they will not repair for more than a few days, and they should come to attack the city in the next few days, so we should be ready. ”

Hearing Wang Ming say this, Li Zhen slapped the table with his big hand and stroked his beard, nodded and said, "What Ming'er said is reasonable, Ming'er, you ordered to go down, prepare to go out of the city to meet the battle in the next few days, and then continue to send secret agents to find out information." Wang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, master, I can do it." Li Zhen suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "By the way, Ming'er, the left and right armies, there is a letter to report, where they have marched, and when will they come here?" Hearing the master then ask, Wang Ming replied, "Master, at noon today, I got a report from the two armies that the left and right armies led by Deputy Marshal Mu Ding and General Jia Ming have completed the task of suppressing bandits ordered by the imperial court, and set off with a large army from Qianling and Yanggou respectively, the two armies converged in Hutou Mountain, and have passed the area of Hutougang, which is less than a hundred miles away from the camp of our Chinese army. After listening to Wang Ming's words, Li Zhen stroked his beard and said, "Okay, good." Now there are more than 5,000 soldiers in our Chinese army, and it will be a bit dangerous if the captivity army launches a siege now. As soon as the two armies on my left and right arrive, and my Yunping army is fully equipped, I will definitely want the Xiliang barbarians to go and not return!"

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Jiao'er, you have been working hard lately, pay more attention to your body." Okay, it's okay, let's go down and rest first. With one last remark, he turned around and fiddled with the map on the sand table. Wang Ming and Li Jiaoer glanced at each other, did not speak, and did not leave.

Li Zhen, who turned around, felt that the two of them had not left, turned his head again, and asked, "Ming'er, is there anything else wrong with Jiao'er?" Li Jiao'er looked at her senior brother Wang Ming, and then said to Li Zhen, "Yes, father, there is one more matter, I didn't report it to you just now." Li Zhen, frowning slightly, asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Li Jiao'er said that after she went to investigate the local military situation and was discovered, she didn't meet a strange man, the man came to the rescue, and then Wang Mingxun went back to the camp together and so on.

After listening to the whole thing told by Li Jiaoer, Li Zhen was also puzzled, and after thinking for a long time, he stroked his beard and said to Li Jiaoer, "Jiao'er, I am in danger, why didn't I tell my father just now," and walked in front of Li Jiaoer, patted Li Jiaoer's helmet with worry in his eyes, and asked a few words if he was hurt or uncomfortable. Li Jiaoer also smiled, and said that it didn't matter, and she didn't suffer any injuries. In fact, Li Zhen knew in his heart that his daughter was stubborn when she was a child, and she rarely talked about her own affairs, if it weren't for this strange man in it this time, she might not have talked about it.

Li Zhen hesitated for a while, and said to Li Jiao'er and Wang Ming: "No matter what the reason for this person is, he also helped Jiao'er get out of danger, settle down for the time being, prepare some good wine and food in the evening, and invite me to participate in the banquet together, let's express our gratitude a little, and I will also observe this person by the way." Oh yes, no one is allowed to tell the story of this person's identity, understand?"

After Wang Ming and Li Jiao'er nodded and agreed, they left the camp together without anything else.

Looking at the two people who walked out, Li Zhen was also a little more curious about the person Li Jiaoer said, I don't know why after listening to it, I had another feeling, this son is extraordinary, as for why, Li Zhen doesn't know.
