……

Zang Ba stayed where he was, a little anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, because this would only make the soldiers under him more nervous.

As a general, he should be calm and unhurried, and have the demeanor of a general.

"Zhang Yun, hasn't Li Jian come back yet?" Zang Ba paid attention to the tunnel entrance that had not yet moved in the distance, and said to Zhang Yun, the commander of the thousand soldiers who was standing on guard.

"General Hui, I haven't come back yet." After Zhang Yun heard the inquiry, he turned directly to Zang Ba and said.

Zang Ba couldn't help frowning when he heard this, feeling a little strange about Li Jian and the others who hadn't come back for so long.

How could it take so long to just stay and process the footprints?

How dangerous Chang'an City is, didn't you say it?

How can you be so delayed in Chang'an City?

That's it, Hua Xiong hasn't come out yet, anyway, just wait a minute.

"Zhang Yun, you go and ask someone to prepare, you haven't come out for so long, to avoid accidents." Zang Ba stared at the entrance of the tunnel and said calmly to Zhang Yun.

After Zhang Yun heard this, he nodded directly, then turned around and left with a part of the soldiers, to prepare what should be prepared in case of a situation.

…

"Lao Wang, Lao Liu, hurry up, haven't you dealt with it yet?" Li Jian stared at the Wu Commander under his hand, looking up at the sky from time to time, confirming the current point in time.

According to the general's explanation, they must leave Chang'an City before dawn, otherwise they will have to explain to this Chang'an City without thinking about it.

"Alright, alright, it's done." Lao Wang looked at Li Jian and said quickly.

Li Jian watched as everyone held the torch in one hand and the wine jar in the other, pouring the good wine in the wine directly on the ground, from the courtyard all the way to the courtyard gate.

Although it is very heartbroken to be so wasteful about these good wines, I also know that this kind of thing must be done.

"In that case, quickly call someone to gather and prepare to leave." Li Jian held the torch, looked at his captain, and gave an order directly.

As the order was delivered, a group of ten people quickly regrouped.

"Lao Li, is this necessary?" Lao Wang pointed to the wine on the ground, his face was full of heartache, and asked with questions, "Didn't the general just let us clean up the footprints?" Isn't this a bit excessive? ”

"Why is it not necessary? This is a very necessary behavior. Li Jian took a look at Lao Wang, everyone is a teammate eating in a pot, for such behavior, it should be explained, and it will still be explained.

Everyone present looked at each other, completely unaware of the purpose of this.

Especially when the general did not give such an order at all, would it be a violation of military regulations to do so without authorization?

Li Jian obviously saw the confusion on the soldier's face, and said directly, "Presumably the military also told you, after this is done, we can change from infantry to cavalry, don't you want to keep the horse you are riding?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded hurriedly, although they were all Danyang soldiers.

But that doesn't mean they're infantry, they can still ride horses, and besides, even infantry on horseback is stronger than simple infantry.

"You remember, when the general gives you orders in the future, remember to think more, if it is just a simple cleaning of footprints, will such a high reward be issued?" When Li Jian said this, he directly pointed at himself with his empty right hand, and said calmly, "I am now an ordinary infantry commander, and after completing this mission, I will be able to become a cavalry centurion, and I will be promoted to two levels, a full two levels." ”

Before the soldiers under his hands could react, Li Jian directly stretched out two fingers and said to the soldiers under his hands, "When the time comes, Lao Liu and Lao Wang, the two of you will be able to change from the captain to the team leader, and the brothers, you can also serve as the commander, our brothers in the top ten, collectively promoted to two levels, or from infantry to cavalry, such a reward, do you think it is just to clean up the traces!" ”

Listening to Li Jian's words, the soldiers present reacted.

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield, he naturally knows how much the promotion system on the battlefield is, how much reward there is, and how much risk there is.

However, being able to come up with a two-level reward, and being an infantry to a cavalry, naturally has an extraordinary danger, how can it be a simple clean-up trace?

For his own chief, he can find this in a simple order, and he is worthy of being a centurion, and it is really different.

Li Jian found that after he finished speaking, many brothers looked at him differently, and he felt a little inexplicable.

Li Jian is about to give an order to his brothers, according to the prescribed place, directly ignite the fire, and then retreat, leaving Chang'an, the land of right and wrong, when the time comes, he will be a cavalry centurion, and leaving Danyang is the pit of infantry.

And at this time, Li Jian heard a voice from behind him.

"Who are you? How is it in my house? ”

Li Jian instantly turned a lot whiter, how could anyone come here on a big night?

What about the curfew in Chang'an City? Are you kidding? The mission is almost complete, and there is someone else to stop it?

However, before Li Jian could react, Lao Liu and Lao Wang directly threw out the rope around their waists and circled the person who made the sound.

Then the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward and wrapped the people who found them directly.

"Lao Li, this person, how do you say that this is his home?" Lao Wang pointed to the person on the ground who had been gagged and had been tied with ropes, and said to Li Jian.

Li Jian reacted after hearing this, and his heart was a lot more relaxed, and it seemed that there was only a slight accident.

I didn't expect these soldiers under my command to be so strong, and before I even reacted, the soldiers had already subdued the latter.

"What? Is this his home? Li Jian quickly reacted when he heard this.

Directly and quickly took the torch, approached the person lying on the ground, looked at the person who was already lying on the ground unconscious, and looked carefully.

It's like an old man, he has a lot of white beards, and this is Cai Yong's mansion, and there should be no elderly people in this mansion.

In other words, his own general kidnapped all the people in the house, regardless of the old and young, and as a result, one Cai Yong was left behind, and he has not been taken away.

If the person lying on the ground is really Cai Yong, who is tied up like this by the soldiers under his hands, it should be fine, right?

Li Jian stretched out his right index finger, placed it on the person who was tied up on the ground, and put it on his nose, feeling the breath of breathing, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
