Jing Xiong did suspect that this army had a relationship with the Chu River.

At the beginning, he absolutely did not connect this army with the Chu River, for no other reason, he knew a little about the situation in Changding Township, and he also knew that Changding Township was what Chu He said.

But the entire Changding Township is twenty or thirty thousand Dingkou, and after the Ding, the number of young and strong will not exceed 5,000, just ask how Chu He could form such a steel army.

Such a base of elite troops is by no means something that a county can afford to support, and even a county's financial resources cannot afford to support it.

Take Qinzhou as an example, it is not a problem to form an iron army of 5,000 people, but among the 5,000 elites, there are more than 1,000 soldiers with steel armor all over their bodies, which is unimaginable, and the value of these steel soldiers alone is more than 20 million silver taels!

Unless the major wealthy families in Qinzhou City contribute their own wealth, it is possible to form such an army.

There are three reasons why Jing Xiong suddenly suspected that the other party was related to the Chu River.

First, the other party just forced his more than 1,000 remnants into the valley, and did not attack, which was completely different from the cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Army that he encountered before.

Second, although Jing Xiong didn't know about the existence of the Changding Township Steelmaking Yard, he had seen many soldiers in Qinghe Village before, and they all had battle armor steel soldiers on their bodies.

Moreover, their weapon systems, such as those broad-edged swords, and the fierce Mo knives, are exactly the same as the steel soldiers in the hands of these five thousand people!

At that time, Jing Xiong felt strange: With the financial resources of Changding Township, how could he afford to buy so many steel soldiers? Even if there were steel-making masters in Changding Township, it would be difficult to refine so many steel soldiers for the village guards in Qinghe Village.

Third, it was because of Jing Xiong's cultivation of the exercises.

He studied the Book of Changes intensively, although the way of divination is the most difficult to calculate the military war, but Jing Xiong still braved the crisis of backlash to divinate a hexagram, and vaguely came to the hexagram of Daji in the southwest, so he proposed that everyone come to Datong County, which is located in the southwest.

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, Jing Xiong hesitated for a moment before he said slowly: "General Gongyi, Jing suspects that these five thousand soldiers and horses have something to do with the hidden abyss. ”

The bus was stunned for a moment: "It has something to do with the Chu River?

Gong Che was formerly known as the Sipin Zhonglang General of Qinzhou City, and he had been stationed in the military camp for a long time, so he had never met with Chu He, but he had heard about Chu He, and he also knew that Guo Pu had tried to help Chu He improve his strength and compete for the position of the Hidden Dragon List.

Later, when Qinzhou was in crisis, Guo Pu had no such thoughts, and Chu He returned to Datong County.

Chu He left Qinzhou, it has only been more than three years since now, even if Chu He improves one realm a year and can become a five-grade grandmaster, but there are many five-grade grandmasters in the world, how many can control a strong army of thousands of people?

The bus naturally couldn't believe Jing Xiong's words.

Guo Pu also said in a deep voice: "Why did Brother Jing say this? Could it be that there is a secret in it that we don't know?"

"Chu He is just a strong bone warrior, even if the realm has improved in recent years, the Chu family has some power in Datong County, but such a soldier and horse is not something that can be formed by ordinary wealthy families, is it possible that the Chu family is a thousand-year-old family?"

Jing Xiong smiled bitterly, he had expected that no one would believe his words, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Don't say that Lord Guo and General Gongyi don't believe it, even Jing thinks it's impossible, it's just a little delusional. ”

Yin Qi's middle-aged name is Zou Jing, the words are as wide as that, but his personality is completely opposite to his words, and at this time he couldn't help but sneer: "If it is the soldiers and horses of the Chu River, it is the best, even the beast cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Army did not dare to chase and kill it before, it can be seen that the power is extremely amazing." ”

"Brother Jing has such a year-old friend, he will definitely be able to soar in the future, just don't forget us. ”

Guo Pu coughed: "Kuanru, Brother Jing is just saying his guess." Now that we're all in the same boat, we need to work together. ”

Zou Jing snorted, but he also knew that no matter how much he ridiculed Jing Xiong, it was useless, so he simply turned his face away and stopped talking.

The black-armored man suddenly said in a deep voice: "Since the other party has forced us into the valley, sooner or later they will find us, and we will wait and see what happens." ”

Guo Pu nodded: "Gong Xi is right. Don't let people guard the valley, let the soldiers rest, they are tired from running around for days. Shuangwei, you ordered to go down and make a fire. How much grain and grass do we have now?"

It turned out that this black-armored man was the Dong Ju Dong Gong Raid that Chu He had thought about subduing, but he didn't expect that he didn't join the counterinsurgency army of Shu, but he came to Tianshui County with Guo Pu.

Shuangwei is Huang Cheng's word, hearing Guo Pu ask, Huang Cheng shook it, and said with a somewhat unsightly face: "There is not much grain and grass left." The rice grain can last up to three days, and even the soybeans eaten by the war horses are counted. The horses now only eat hay and are not physically strong enough to fight. ”

Zou Jing's face hesitated slightly, and finally he couldn't help but say again: "My lord, the general of public loss, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

Guo Pu said in a deep voice: "Guo Mou is no longer the governor of Qinzhou, and he can't be called an adult." Wide as words, but blunt. ”

Zou Jing took a deep breath: "When we leave Qinzhou City with my lord, everyone must know that it is impossible for us to return to Shu again." ”

"We went out of the city with the adults to find a way to survive, nothing more than unwilling to die in vain, intending to break a way out of this troubled world. ”

"Everyone knows the strength of the Southern Barbarian Army, with millions of male soldiers, and the Yizhou Army, Yongzhou Army, etc., south of the Tongtian River, there is absolutely no Shu army that can resist it. Now I am afraid that the entire southern region of Shu has fallen into their hands, and it is unknown whether the counterinsurgency army of Shu has arrived, and it is unknown whether they can be defeated. ”

Guo Mou's brows frowned slightly: "You mean to let us surrender to the Nanban?"

Everyone's faces suddenly became complicated.

Zou Jing glanced around at everyone, nodded heavily, and said: "Until now, Zou is not afraid to say bluntly, since the Southern Barbarian Army is powerful, why don't we be vain and wrong?"

"If the Yellow Turban Army defeats the army of Shu, this land with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, the people of the Southern Barbarians are vulgar and unfamiliar with literary affairs, how to govern it, in the end, it is not up to us literati to be judged. ”

"If the army of Shu wins, it will be impossible to slaughter millions of anti-Shu soldiers and horses, Zou believes that the Shu State will adopt a gentle strategy, and it is unlikely that it will take us as a general. ”

The face of the bus changed suddenly, his eyes were wide with anger, his beard was open, and he stared at Zou Jing like an angry lion, and scolded angrily: "Okay, you Zou Jing, you actually want to surrender to the Nanban, so greedy for life and afraid of death, don't think that the old man will not dare to kill you under the double sword!"

Although Zou Jing is only a third-grade Tibetan elite Confucian student, he is not afraid of the public loss car, the late fourth-grade Casting Ding Wuzong, looking directly at the public loss car, and said coldly: "Zou is afraid of death? If Zou is afraid of death, he will not take the initiative to break off for a thousand women and children with the soldiers under his command, and in the end, less than 500 of the 3,000 people survived!"

"If Zou is afraid of death, he will not follow the situation to fight thousands of miles and go through life and death. The world is so big, I'm afraid there is no hiding place for Zou?"

"Dare to ask General Gongyi, what other way out do we have than to surrender to the Southern Barbarian Army? Does General Gongyi want to see these soldiers who entrusted their lives to us give their lives in vain? Do you want to see these unarmed innocent women and children all die under the swords of the Southern Barbarian Army?"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, his originally pale face became flushed, and he said hatefully: "Zou is just unwilling!"

The chest of the bus rose and fell violently, but the anger on his face slowly faded, and finally said coldly with a gloomy face: "Everyone has their own ambitions, since you want to surrender to the Southern Barbarian Army, the old man will not stop you!"

His voice suddenly mentioned: "But the Nanban army killed my family and relatives, and killed my generals, the old man will never surrender under the Nanban banner!"

In the final analysis, they all felt that the army surrounding them was the Southern Barbarian army, and they were surrounded but not killed, just trying to collect them.

Guo Pu let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to Jing Xiong, Dong Ju and the others: "I don't know what you think?"

Jing Xiong's mouth moved, and he was about to speak, when at this time, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the valley, the sound came from several miles away, and it came directly into the valley, obviously the person who spoke was extremely strong, and he was definitely a fourth-grade or even fifth-grade powerhouse.

"Where is Master Jing Xiong?

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, their eyes couldn't help but fall on Jing Xiong, and a thought involuntarily appeared in their hearts: Could it be that this incomparably elite army is really related to the Chu River?

If this army is subordinate to the Southern Barbarian Army, if you want to recruit yourself, you are also looking for Guo Pu, the former state pastor, how can you find Jing Xiong, a white-bodied bachelor?

Jing Xiong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You and Jing went out of the valley to have a look?"

The one who should come is always coming, and from the tone of the other party, things seem to have taken a turn for the better, so everyone ordered the generals under their command, as well as the women and children of the family who looked uneasy, and then took dozens of soldiers and walked quickly towards the location of the valley mouth.

From a distance, everyone saw that there was a burly and tall general in Taniguchi wearing pitch-black battle armor, with a face like black charcoal, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he looked powerful.

This black-armored general rode a vicious beast like a tiger and a leopard, carrying a huge steel spear, and the hearts of Guo Pu and the others suddenly sank, this vicious beast like a tiger and a leopard was clearly the most common mount of the senior generals of the Southern Barbarian Army, called the tiger tooth leopard, and its combat power was quite not weak, but it was against the three-grade martial arts.

Behind the black-armored generals, there is a group of elite cavalry with steel guns, also with black armor, complete guns and bows, majestic, and powerful, if any one appears alone, it will definitely be considered the leader of the army.

Inside the valley mouth, dozens of Qinzhou remnants who were responsible for guarding the valley mouth were confronting it from afar with blades in hand.

The soldiers of Qinzhou did not fall behind in terms of momentum.

After all, they are all elites who have survived the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and after more than a year of the Qinzhou War, and many times they have fought with the beast cavalry that pursued them, each of them has at least ten lives in their hands, and their bodies are shrouded in evil aura and murderous aura.

But in terms of armor and clothing, it is much more humble.

Guo Pu motioned for the soldiers to put away their weapons and walked straight towards each other with Jing Xiong and the others.

Jing Xiong looked at the black-armored general slightly, but he had never seen the other party, and said with some suspicion: "Jing Xiong is below, dare to ask what this general is called?"

He paused slightly, and then asked: "I don't know what kind of force the general's soldiers and horses belong to, why did they trap us in the valley, and named Jing to come out to meet us, and what happened?"

These are the questions they are eager to know.

The black-armored general looked Jing Xiong up and down, then stuck the steel gun on the ground, and said in return: "This general Ding Meng is the general of Jiang Wuweiya under the command of the Changding Army, and our Chu Shuai is already on the way to Ji County, and I ordered this general to invite Master Jing to meet in the county seat." ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately awe-struck in their hearts, Ding Meng's words had already revealed a lot of information.

The tooth general, although he is only a third-grade military position, can also command three to five thousand soldiers and horses, it can be seen that the five thousand elites outside are this Ding Meng's subordinates.

From the military position of this tooth keeper, it can be judged that Jiang Wuwei has at least two tooth keepers and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Then it was calculated that the Changding army definitely did not have only one Jiang Wuwei, and according to the minimum of two guards, it was also a scale of 20,000 people.

If there are 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are as elite as these 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength of this standing army is quite terrifying.

The word Chu Shuai made everyone think about it.

Jing Xiong took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask the Chu Shuai that General Ding said, but Chu River Chu Qianyuan?"

Chu He is a Changding army and Chu Shuai, and everyone in Tianshui County knows it, so there is no need to hide it from Jing Xiong and others.

Besides, Ding Meng already knew that Jing Xiong and Chu He were old friends, and the relationship was quite good, and they were Wu Mei'er's master, Ding Meng didn't dare to slack off, nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"Chu Shuai knew that Master Jing had arrived in our Tianshui County, and told me not to neglect Master Jing, Chu Shuai and Miss Mei'er should be able to arrive in Ji County soon. ”

He paused slightly, and then added: "Ding Mou let you enter this valley, and there is no malice. Later, Ding will send someone to take your subordinates and family members to the bathhouse and hospital to clean their bodies, treat their injuries, change into clean clothes, and then settle down in Ji County. ”

To this day, many homeless people still pour into Tianshui County every day.

Chu He, a person from later generations, knew how the epidemic occurred, so he told the doctors of the Dingdemon Army what he knew about health and epidemic prevention, and he knew that many rules and regulations were formulated according to local conditions.

Every homeless person who enters Tianshui County needs to wash their bodies with medicinal water, kill insects and lice, and isolate them for a few days.

When Guo Pu and the others heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, and they simply thought that they had heard it wrong. This incomparably elite army is not only related to the Chu River, but also under the command of the generals of the Chu River?

Jing Xiong was also so surprised that he was speechless for a while,

Although he was shocked by the news, he also knew that there was no need for the other party to deceive himself.

Jing Xiong had all kinds of doubts in his heart, and it was not good to ask anything at this time, anyway, Chu He and Wu Mei'er had already rushed to Ji County, and when they saw them, it was not too late to ask in detail!
