In the early morning of the second day, when Pei Zheng rushed to the city gate with five people under him, leading a dozen horses and horses to pull a bunch of things, the people of the mission were already waiting.

Zhao Gu, who was accompanying the carriage, saw Pei Zheng coming, walked over and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why did you come?" ”

Pei Zheng said a little helplessly: "The city gate will converge at the right time, this will not be the hour, and the lowly duties have arrived in advance, who knows that the two adults are so anxious?"

Zhao Gu said impatiently: "Okay, go over quickly, make them unhappy, you will always be the one who suffers, don't think that anyone can tolerate you like this general." ”

Pei Zheng smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the general's concern and obedience to orders." ”

When Pei Zheng's eyes fell on the two carriages, he couldn't help frowning, strode to the front of the carriage, and said loudly: "Lord Wen, General Lin, I have something to say about my humble position. ”

"There are common winds and snows on the northwest road of Layue, and it is predicted that there will be a heavy snowfall in the near future, and it is inconvenient for the carriage to walk, and it is easy to slow down the speed of the south. ”

Zhao Gu hurriedly came when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to pull Pei Zheng away: "What are you talking nonsense here?"

There was silence in the carriage, and Lin Xing, who was riding a horse next to the carriage, replied in a deep voice: "What Pei Team is saying is indeed somewhat true, but General Kewen is old and frail, and the prince of the grassland is young and frail, so he is not suitable for riding a horse, so he has to take a carriage." ”

Pei Zheng lowered his head and clenched his fists, still insisting on his opinion: "You don't have to ride a horse alone, you can let others ride a horse, and the walking speed or mobility are much better than riding in a carriage." ”

Lin Xingju looked at Pei Zheng condescendingly, shook his head, and said categorically: "No." ”

Seeing that Pei Zheng wanted to say more, Zhao Gu on the side hurriedly grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "Pei Zheng, you kid shut up, what the two adults said is a military order, you just need to obey unconditionally, and you must not question it." ”

Pei Zheng sighed slightly, glanced at the convoy, and said sincerely: "It's okay to take a carriage, but the horses in the convoy are a little less, please order the two adults to be rationed according to one person and three horses." ”

Lin Xing said with a cold expression: "What does this mean?"

Pei Zheng explained with a serious face: "There are four reasons, one is that walking in the snow consumes the physical strength of the war horse, one person and three horses, and the replacement will not delay the trip." ”

"Second, the Northwest Province is vast and sparsely populated, so it may not be possible to find a place for everyone to rest every time, and the horses can be gathered together to form a warm place, where everyone can snuggle up and keep warm, without worrying about being frozen into ice at night, and killing horses at critical moments to satisfy hunger. ”

"Third, in case of emergency, you can release some horses to disturb the enemy's line of sight and buy time to escape. ”

"Fourth, more or less you can bring more supplies for consumption on the road. ”

When Lin Xing heard this, a look of appreciation appeared on his face: "The analysis is good, General Zhao, I bother you to transfer a few more good horses to the general, and when the general returns to Chang'an, he will give the money to buy the horse at the original price, plus ask for credit for General Zhao." ”

Zhao Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's just a few horses, it's not worth a few dollars, General Lin doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"Come on, go to the stables and lead ......"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes swept back and forth to the convoy, how many horses did he have to lead to come?

Pei Zheng whispered on the side: "Forty." ”

Zhao Gu glanced at Pei Zheng, and continued as if nothing happened: "Bring forty horses over, be quick." ”

The guards who followed Zhao Gu hurriedly responded: "My subordinates will go." ”

In a few moments, forty horses were ready.

The experienced guards put two large bags of beans on each horse.

On snowy days, these horses can't nibble on grass, so they can only survive on hay and beans.

A bag of hay can't withstand two meals, and it is the most practical to bring beans.

After the war horse was ready, Lin Xing asked, "Pei Teamzheng, can you see if there are any other omissions?"

Pei Zheng arched his hand and said, "Please wait for a moment, General Lin." ”

After saying that, he was not polite, and began to check what the members of the mission had brought.

"Bring some saltpeter and coals to start a fire, it is not easy to make a fire in the snow, and be prepared with it. ”

"Each person can carry a quilt on their backs, which can be used to warm up and to ward off arrows. ”

"Please ask the general to give more pills, if you encounter an enemy on the road and fight with it, you won't be able to hold out for too long. ”

......

Pei Zheng checked very carefully, and added some things one after another, Fang Chao Lin Xing and Zhao Gu arched his hand and said, "The lowly inspection is over." ”

Lin Xing smiled and asked, "Can you go?"

Pei Zheng bowed his head and arched his hand: "Everything that can be made up has been made up, please ask the general and Lord Wen to decide whether to set off or not." ”

Lin Xing glanced at Pei Zheng deeply, and smiled at Zhao Gu: "General Zhao really recommended a talent." ”

A touch of pride appeared on Zhao Gu's face, and he pretended to be disapproving: "It's just an ordinary scout, which makes General Lin smile." ”

Lin Xing looked solemn, sat on the horse and arched his hand towards Zhao Gu and said: "General Zhao, this time I will accept your favor, and when I return to Chang'an safely, I will have something to repay in the future." ”

"It's not too early, the emperor is here, and I will leave here. ”

Pei Zheng just wanted to cover his face when he heard it, but in film and television dramas, except for the protagonist, few people seem to have a good end.

Zhao Gu didn't pay much attention to what Lin Xing said, General Zhonglang may have some influence in the forbidden army, but it is far from qualified to meddle in the border army.

However, the other party's gift was thoughtful, and he couldn't brush off the other party's kindness, so he hugged his fist and saluted back: "I wish General Lin a smooth journey, and I hope he can drink and talk happily when we see you in the future, and there will be a period later." ”

Lin Xing laughed and said, "Let's go." ”

At this time, Zhao Gu kicked Pei Zheng lightly and heavily: "Why are you stunned, why don't you go and lead the way." ”

"Okay. ”

Pei Zheng responded, trotted to his mount "Black Dog", a two-and-a-half-year-old stallion, turned over on his horse, and shouted with great momentum:

"Three dogs, you and the mouse are exploring the way ahead, and after half an hour, the fox and the little wolf will be replaced, and the rabbit will clean up the traces and set off. ”

The five people selected by Pei Zheng immediately dispersed and performed their duties.

Most of the guards of the mission looked a little strange when they heard this, and they talked in a low voice: "This Xin'an City scout, why are they all beasts?"

Although the voice is low, the warrior's ears and eyes are sensitive, so where can he not hear it?

There was a burst of laughter in the ranks.

A touch of anger appeared on the faces of the fox and the little wolf who followed Pei Zheng, and they were about to mock their own defense theory, but Pei Zheng shook his head and pressed it.

"Do your own thing, don't care what others say. You eat by your ability, and you eat without looking at the faces of others. ”

There is a sentence that Pei Zheng didn't say, what do you have to do with a group of dying people?

From the previous inspection of the material ration, Pei Zheng deduced that this group of guards from the imperial capital was extremely inexperienced in surviving in the wild.

If it is in normal times, it is nothing if he leads the way with experienced scouts, but the road back to the south will experience attacks, and it is hard to say how many of these people will survive in the end.

What Pei Zheng didn't know was that when this group of people set out from the imperial capital, there were a total of fifty people, and they lost a small half of the road from the grassland to Xin'an City.

If it weren't for Wen Feng and Lin Xing's ability, and they were brainwashed to be loyal to the empire, repay each other with their examples, and promise heavy rewards, it is estimated that some people would not be able to bear the pressure and escape.

The little wolf was unwilling: "But ......"

Pei Zheng interrupted: "It's nothing, if this is Xin'an City, Lao Tzu will bring someone to ask for an explanation for you." But he has already left the city, and there are two adults here, so he has to endure it. ”

"I've brought a lot of scouts, and I can't help it, either I return to my hometown with my body mutilated, or I am buried in the wasteland as dry bones, listen to me, yes. ”

The little wolf glanced indignantly at the guard who spoke first, and could only swallow this breath.

At this time, Lin Xing, who was walking in front, looked back abruptly, looked at the guard who spoke first with a cold look, and said coldly: "Mock the robe for no reason, reward five whips, read your first offense, write it down for the time being, and deal with it when you return to Chang'an." ”

"If you commit it again, Ben will be here to make your skin open and have a long memory. ”

"Everyone else has heard clearly, the brothers in Xin'an City are here to help, not to be sneered at by you, so be polite. ”

The guards looked awe-inspired, and arched their hands: "No." ”

In an instant, the whole team fell silent, and there was not a single murmur.

Pei Zheng looked at Lin Xing with a surprised expression, he didn't expect that the other party would stand up for them in such a trivial matter.

The person who can be selected as a deputy envoy really has some ability, and the means to win people's hearts are moisturizing things silently.

Lin Xing sensed Pei Zheng's gaze and turned to smile at him.

Pei Zheng arched his hand with a serious expression, and everything was silent.
