In front of the Wind Dragon Pass, under a huge rocky mountain. There was a middle-aged man in a white robe, with his head hanging in silence, listening to the scout's letter.

"Tiger General Utu led 500 horsemen to chase and suppress the Ran people's cavalry, but unexpectedly, in the land of sand dunes, he fell into Ran's plan. After the Ran people charged, they beheaded Utu on the spot. In addition, the 5,000 cavalry sent out by the national division encountered the 8,000-strong army of Hucheng Zhonglu, and the same was ...... Without victory, the battle was weak for a long time, and retreated to the depths of the desert. ”

Huo Feng raised his head, and there was a faint tiredness in his voice.

"After Utu was beheaded, this matter, the little general who led the cavalry camp, was used to boost morale?"

"National teacher, that's exactly the case."

"No wonder." Huo Feng frowned and closed his eyes.

After he became a national teacher, Di Guo participated in the reform of both military and civil affairs. In terms of military system, it is almost the same as Da Ran in the Central Plains.

Utu's general position is not low, he is the title of Di Guo, and his title is "Fighting Tiger". is such a general, but he died in a daze.

"Tell me, what will Xiao Ran be called?"

"National teacher, I only know other Ran people, call him General Chen."

"It's General Chen again." Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, "If you guess correctly, it's the messenger general sent by Fenglong Pass." What a plan, block the horse with the sand dunes, and then charge down condescendingly. How many years have passed, Da Ran still has such a strange person. ”

The scout next to him was silent for a while, and continued to speak, "National Teacher, that person has already entered Hucheng. ”

"Got it." Huo Feng waved his hand, his voice a little displeased.

"Pass the order, let the people outside Hucheng not act rashly for the time being. Also, about the general surnamed Chen, think of some way to find out his identity for me. I always feel that this time in the war in the northern Xinjiang, he may become an obstacle to my country. ”

Raising his head, Huo Feng's face sank.

For a long time, Ran Ren has been like a dead dog, only knowing how to shrink the defense, but on the contrary, there is an unknown little Ran general, who vaguely inspired the heart of the Great Ran army.

……

"General Chen—"

In Hucheng, countless soldiers and civilians cheered loudly at Chen Jing. Even Zhong Lu, who was beside him, was also full of smiles.

He was not afraid of death, though. But no matter what, if there was no Chen Jingzai, that encounter would have to be fought for a long time.

"Originally, I thought that I would have a drink with Brother Chen today, but I was worried that Di Ren's ambition would not die, so I came to knock on Hucheng again. This invitation can only be a little later. ”

"Zhong will be polite." Chen Jing smiled.

Before entering the city, he was worried that the people in the city would be in distress and the soldiers would not be able to fight for a long time. But after entering the city, he found that he was thinking too much.

Here, both the military and the civilian are all with a murderous atmosphere. The army defended the city, the people defended it, and the city wall full of holes was repaired several times before this crumbling small city was not broken by the Di people.

"General Zhong, how long has it been since Di Ren came?"

"It's almost January." Zhong Lu frowned, "Brother Chen, I need to remind you that the national teacher of Di Guo is not a simple person. If you meet him in the future, be careful. ”

Regarding the national teacher of Di Kingdom, Zhong Lu is not the first to mention it. It seems that in the mouths of many Ran people, this national teacher who betrayed the Central Plains is a remarkable figure.

"I still need to return a handwritten letter and hand it over to Li Hou." Zhong Lu's voice hesitated, "But I'm worried that Brother Chen will rush back to Fenglong Pass, and I'm afraid that he will encounter Di Ren again." As I intended...... The previous three hundred horses can be left to Brother Chen. ”

Just hearing this, Chen Jing's face was excited. Not to mention anything else, more than 300 Yong horses alone are a huge resource. But as soon as Zhong Lu opened his mouth, he wanted to give these more than 300 people away.

"I've thought about it, but these cavalry are not of much use if they stay with me. But let Brother Chen take it, and he can't say that he can make any more miraculous achievements. In addition, with these three hundred riders, when Brother Chen rushes back to Fenglong Pass, I can also rest assured. ”

Chen Jing exhaled and seriously bowed his hand to Zhong Lu. These more than 300 rides, if you don't want it, it must be fake. You must know that his current identity is just a small sentry in the Fuzhuang battalion, and his subordinates are all new soldiers and civilians. But what a wonderful thing it would be if the three hundred old men could be commanded by him.

"Don't worry." Zhong Lu smiled, "Brother Chen has a long way to go, why don't you rest first and then hurry tomorrow." ”

"There is General Law."

From beginning to end, Chen Jing did not ask about the content of the handwriting. But he could almost guess that Li Hou wanted to make this team of people in Hucheng as a role like a strange army, or as a flanking attack.

To put it nicely, if he returns to Fenglong Pass, he can be promoted to the staff of the Chinese military tent, and such a military aircraft can start as a staff officer.

Guiding the horse into the city, Chen Jing continued to walk forward. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a clearing not far from the city gate, where many graves and even clothed mounds stood.

Among them, there are many people who come and go, offering incense and worshipping.

Zhong Lu, who was beside him, showed a somewhat bitter smile.

"In the winter of last year, I raised an army against Di, and the court didn't care, and I cut off the grain and grass for the army. There is no choice but to take a group of old brothers and stay here. When the Di people knocked on the pass, many people were killed in the battle, in order to boost morale and make the defenders mourning, I ordered them to be buried near the city gate, in order to show the heart of defending the rivers and mountains. You see, some of the corpses have been smashed by stones, and they have to be made into graves. ”

Zhong Lu tilted his head, "Later, Mr. Big personally sent me a letter, saying that he would find a way in the court to persuade His Majesty to start a war with the Di people...... Brother Chen, the cold disaster in the winter last year, the whole country only knows about disaster relief. But in fact, Mr. Big didn't know what method he used, and secretly sent grain and grass to Hucheng, and even military furniture. ”

"He told me that the Ran Shi who dared to fight for every inch of land were all heroes of the dynasty. I have always kept this sentence in my heart. Every time I gather troops, I will say to my subordinates that even if we are rebels, the rebels are only the Ran Dynasty, but for the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, we will always be loyal and unrepentant. ”

Chen Jing was listening, his expression was a little moved.

Gradually, he remembered that sitting in front of him, the sick scribe who was as thin as a monkey, was such a person, but with a pair of weak hands, he supported the entire Da Ran's Jiangshan Sheji.

One day, if Mr. Big goes...... I'm afraid that in the entire court, there will be no one who will save the country.

Zhong Lu got off his horse, walked to the clearing, looked at the undulating graves, took the incense seriously, and bowed respectfully.

The same is true of Chen Jing on the side.

A precarious Central Plains, if it weren't for these people, it would have collapsed.
