"You have robbed us of our food, why don't you take us with you? We can't live without cattle and sheep!" Gesang shouted with a waving arm.

She shouted this because she wanted to express that she was a grassland herdsman, and the reason why she appeared here was because she was robbed of cattle and sheep, which meant that she could not live without cattle and sheep now, so it was better to go to the army to be a military slave.

This excuse is not clever, but in a hurry, there is no more suitable excuse to find, this reason can at least explain his identity and why he is here, without exposing the fact that Zhang Changan and others are scouts of the Tang Army.

When the Khitan monk at the head heard this, he saw that Gesang's face was beautiful, although his eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully opened, he could be called a beautiful embryo, and he immediately believed the other party's words.

He said coldly: "Whoever approaches the camp of the army without permission will die! It is now a time of war, and it is the will of the king of the steppe to requisition your cattle and sheep, and no one can stop it." However, I remember that you are still young, but it is not that you cannot be given a way to live. ”

In all fairness, when it is necessary to be violent, the grassland people are much more brutal than the Central Plains people, because life is difficult, and they don't know what next year will be like after this year, so they can be fearless of death for the sake of cattle and sheep.

But people's hearts are flesh and blood, and when they don't need to be violent, the steppe people are often extraordinarily open-minded and bold, especially as monks of extraordinary status, and when facing weak and beautiful women, men's nature makes them less harsh.

Zhang Changan and the others were already planning to make a move and break through with a bloody road, but when they heard this, it seemed that the situation had taken a turn for the better, so they temporarily suppressed their temperament.

In order to facilitate the tracking of the Khitan food raising team and deal with the Khitan rangers on the road, they all changed into shepherd costumes, and their faces were also disguised as necessary, which was not a difficult task for the monk students of Chang'an Academy.

Now as long as Zhang Changan and the others don't speak, no one can really detect that they are not grassland people. They restrained their breath and behaved like ordinary shepherds, with frightened and honest expressions.

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Gesang hurriedly made an innocent appearance and asked, "How can we live?"

The monk at the head of the monk is not bad, and he is also a person with status in the army, looking at Gesang's eyes with greed and obscenity, he smiled and said: "You can be my slave, if you serve me well, you can naturally not worry about food and clothing." And your fellow clansmen can also live in the army. ”

This is a fair deal, and it is a gift from heaven to a woman who has lost her cattle and sheep and can no longer be called a shepherd, and who cannot continue to live at all. If you can follow a monk who has cultivated well, your life will definitely not be bad in the future.

As for the price to pay...... In the grassland, there is no need to pay a price for anything? In the era of military disasters, as long as you can live, what is the price to pay? Being able to rely on a powerful warrior is in itself a destination that many grassland women cannot ask for.

Gesang tried his best to put himself into the role of his imagination, and said happily and nervously: "As long as I and my people can have food, Gesang is willing to dedicate himself to serve the master." ”

The monk at the head laughed, and with a wave of his hand, he announced the change in the identity of Gesang and the others, and led them into the camp in the river valley.

The other monks had no objection to this, and did not see anything wrong with it.

People with status on the grassland have a large number of cattle and sheep, which is a symbol of wealth, but in addition, the number of slaves owned is also a manifestation of status, and any powerful steppe warrior will have his own group of slaves.

Since the leader took a fancy to the girl named Gesang and was willing to take him as a concubine, it was really nothing to keep Gesang's clansmen in captivity as his slaves with his status.

In this way, Zhang Changan and Gesang and his entourage entered the camp of the Khitan grain army in a grand manner.

On the way, they learned that the Khitan monk's name was Warwick, and in the group of monks in this Khitan army, although he was not the highest, he was also a top-notch cultivator, and the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi cultivation was enough for him to overlook most of the monks.

Zhang Changan and the others also learned that in this food-raising team, there are a total of three beginner-level monks in the Divine Envoy Realm and one mid-level monk in the Divine Envoy Realm, whose strength is equivalent to that of the Daomen Lingchi Zhenren and the Yin God Zhenren, which is the strongest combat power, and the task is to ensure the safety of the food-raising team.

Except for these four people, Warwick's cultivation is the highest level.

When Zhang Changan was in Hexi, his cultivation was the middle of Qi training, and after Yangguan experience, he went to Chang'an Cultivation Institute for more than half a year, plus he was focused on training by the imperial court, and the supply of various cultivation resources was continuous, and his own talent was not bad, and his cultivation also reached the eighth level of Qi training.

But it was still a layer worse than Warwick, because he didn't have the mind to act rashly.

Warwick quickly arranged the identities of Gesang, Zhang Changan and others, the former is naturally a personal maid, and his status is extraordinary, but because it is daytime, it will not be any dirty behavior, and the latter is an ordinary slave, and feeding the horses is their errand.

Because of the difference in identity and status, Zhang Changan and the others were separated from Gesang, but he didn't care, but kept his identity and mission in mind, and began to observe the entire camp on the premise of trying not to show traces.

It didn't take long for Zhang Changan to learn from eavesdropping on the conversation of the Khitan soldiers that they would leave here tomorrow morning, and all the food teams would return before dusk today, totaling 50,000 people!

Being in prison was a desperate situation, but Zhang Changan was not discouraged, but was a little excited. He knew very well that if the previous news was successfully passed on to General Shangguan, then the other party would launch a surprise attack on this camp before sunset today.

As long as there are no accidents, Zhang Changan and the others will not be threatened at all, and Gesang does not have to worry about losing his virginity, maybe they can still do something in the camp and cooperate with General Shangguan's actions. After all, there are 50,000 warriors here.

In the afternoon, Zhang Changan suddenly discovered a phenomenon that surprised him.

In this Khitan barracks, there are actually quite a few people who have a full view of the truth and have no emptiness to release the door! They are not like them, they are mixed in as slaves, but Khitan monks and warriors who are serious about the scriptures! The reason why their identities can be confirmed is because Zhang Changan found that even Buchen is there!

"There are quite a few people, but not many. ”

The Khitan warriors were dressed in dust, pretending to admire the war horses that Zhang Changan was washing, and said in a low voice: "I have already calculated, and I also met with the monks of the Wukong Liberation Gate, and we have hundreds of people in the barracks." Most of them have not yet reached the Qi refining period, and they are mainly grassland warriors. ”

Zhang Changan lowered his head, strongly suppressed the vibration in his heart, and whispered: "How did you get into here? Didn't you go to track the Khitan grain raising team?"

Buchen smiled and said, "I did go to track down the Khitan food team." It just so happened that I met a believer in Quanzhenguan, and I had saved his seriously ill mother, who was a centurion, so I came here as a Khitan warrior. ”

Zhang Changan pressed the turbulent waves in his heart and said, "How many believers have you developed in Khitan?"

Buchen sighed: "It's really not much, among the 50,000 army, there are only a few hundred, and there is only one in a hundred." The time is still too short, if we are given another three or five years, the full truth view and the non-empty release gate, at least we can control the herdsmen of the grassland.

"Do you know that ordinary grassland people have a very difficult life, far more difficult than the Central Plains people. And the more people who have endured a lot of hardships in their lives, the more likely they are to develop into religious believers, because they have desires and demands, they need spiritual solace and liberation, and they need to see hope, even if that hope exists in an ethereal afterlife.

"What's more, our Quanzhen Guan and Wukong Liberation Sect people, under the instruction of King An, will more or less know how to use medical skills...... Many of the grassland people are really barbarians, and they don't have the ability to cure diseases and save people, and there are too few doctors, in the words of King An, which is the result of an underdeveloped society. So as long as we can cure diseases and save people, it is actually very easy to develop believers, and they all regard us as immortals......"

Zhang Changan didn't have the heart to listen to what Buchen said, as a student of Chang'an Cultivation Academy, he attached more importance to battlefield strategy, so he said eagerly: "If nothing happens, before sunset, General Shangguan will definitely be killed, since you and I are in the Khitan barracks, we should do something......"

Without waiting for Zhang Changan to finish speaking, Buchen answered: "Create chaos in the barracks and cooperate with the army to exterminate this Khitan food team?"

It's a great idea, and it's doable.

Hundreds of people in the face of tens of thousands of people, it seems that they have no power to fight, but if they face a surprise attack by a large army, they only need to create a little chaos in the rear, and they can quickly disintegrate the fighting spirit of many Khitan warriors and make a very outstanding contribution to the battle situation.

But that's not what Zhang Changan had in mind.

He said tightly: "As long as General Shangguan arrives, this Khitan army will definitely be defeated, and we don't need to add icing on the cake at all, what I want to do is a more long-term plan......

As Zhang Chang'an expected, at dusk, Shangguan Allure led his army to raid the river valley.

The Khitan grain raising team that "reaped a bumper harvest", where did they think that they would be attacked by the Tang army's elite cavalry here, they were originally elated, preparing a bonfire in the camp to celebrate, and they were all arrogant and lazy.

Suddenly, hearing the monk's warning, before the Khitan warriors had time to form a complete battle formation, Shangguan Allure took more than 30,000 elite horsemen to the river valley.

There is no suspense in the battle.

Not to mention the more than 30,000 elite horsemen under the command of Shangguan Allure, all of whom were elites dispatched by Li Maozhen in various armies, and they were only students who rushed into the army from Chang'an Cultivation Academy, all of whom were battlefield warriors and elite monks.

Such an army, even if it is not as good as the previous Wolf Tooth Army, even if it is not as good as the previous Wolf Tooth Army, it is far from being able to compete with the eight direct armies of the Khitan.

With the strength of the battle array, Shangguan Chengcheng led his troops to move forward bravely, and easily broke through the hastily formed military formation of the Khitan army, turning the river valley area upside down.
