Chang Poyu's last sentence made Geng Zhong's mind move.

During this time, Chang Poyu took Geng Zhong with him and handed him a lot of things intentionally or unintentionally, among which the sentence that impressed him the most was,

"On the battlefield, survival is the most important thing. In officialdom, the most important thing is to kill the opponent. ”

This sentence made Geng Zhong quite puzzled, on the battlefield, you are fighting for your life, but you have to save your life?

Geng Zhong is now serving as a captain of a thousand military schools, and he can be regarded as knocking on the door of officialdom, and he has tried to ask Chang Po the mystery in his words. How do you know that the old man Chang, who has always been quick to talk, has sold off in this matter,

"You can survive the battlefield against the wolf rider, and you are already the best in the army. I can't understand the rest, you can only rely on yourself to slowly comprehend. ”

Now, this old man Chang told not to tell Lu Jichuan about the relief of the homeless, this is another thing that makes Geng Zhong puzzled, he originally thought that this was the opportunity to appease Lu Jichuan. However, Geng Zhong also remembered another sentence of the old general's advice, "If you understand, implement it, and if you don't understand, implement it first, and then slowly understand." ”

Geng Zhong took General Chang's personal approval and received three carts of military rations from the quartermaster Lao Cao. This is also the defensive strategy of Chang Po after entering the Golden Sands. Now General Chang is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Great Xia Empire's sniper attack from the west, but he is facing a fragile defense line. Shule no longer exists, Tianyao has also been lost, and Jinsha and Shuiquan have to fight on their own. Chang Poyu's ultimate goal at the moment is to consolidate this stormy defense line, hold on to Jinsha, and insist on waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.

Three miles north of Jinsha City, on the official road leading to the city, the trees on both sides of the road were also artificially cleared in accordance with the requirements of the usual breakage. The stragglers who had been displaced from the northwest border one after another used everything at hand to shelter from the wind and rain, and set up a series of tents of various colors in this open space.

When Geng Zhong came to this camp of displaced people with grain and grass, he saw the anger in those empty eyes. In the past, there were brave homeless people who did not believe that the defenders in the city dared to attack the unarmed people, and gathered everyone to storm the Jinsha city defense, but a stream of arrows flew by, and the corpses on the ground forced this group of unarmed people to survive in makeshift tents.

The grain and grass that Geng Zhong brought rekindled the fire in the eyes of this group of hungry people. Seeing them approaching step by step, Geng Zhong had no choice but to set up two lines of defense on the periphery of the grain and grass, with spears in front and bows and arrows behind, while he shouted to the crowd.

"Call your flags. ”

Waving the flag is the leader that Geng Zhong asked the displaced people to put forward when he came to inspect last time. If the displaced people want to talk to the Sands, they must be conveyed by waving the flag.

In fact, the flag-waving promoted by this camp was Geng Zhong's intention to let Li Heng, a retinue around him, dress up as a homeless, so as to help the defenders in the city monitor the movements of these homeless.

After a while, Li Heng came to Geng Zhong with a few strong men who had made friends in the camp of the homeless camp.

The two of them look at each other, but the play still has to be done for everyone to see.

After some bargaining, the military rations were handed over to Li Heng to be distributed to everyone, but they should try their best to ensure that the distribution was fair. Li Heng wanted to support some more warm clothes in the city. Geng Zhong thought about it for a while, and proposed to let these displaced people continue to harvest the surrounding trees and make firewood in exchange. Li Heng agreed in public.

Just when Geng Zhong felt that everything was ready and wanted to leave, he was stopped by Li Heng. Geng Zhong understood the hint in his eyes and took Li Heng to a place where no one was.

Li Heng also brought a subordinate by his side, and seeing Geng Zhong staring at that subordinate, Li Heng explained, "Don't worry, Lord Geng, Xiao Zhu is our brother who Chang Sheng withdrew from Tianyao, and he was only delayed in entering the city because he was ambushed by beast soldiers on the road, if I have any accidents in the future, this Xiao Zhu can take over my task." ”

This was an understatement, but it made Geng Zhong's heart sink when he heard it, it seemed that Li Heng's situation was not easy. Sure enough, Li Heng's next report made Geng Zhong also feel that the problem Li Heng was facing was a little tricky.

The ordinary homeless people are easy to control, but there are still some stragglers, bandits and robbers are also mixed in the ranks of the homeless, in fact, this is one of the reasons why Chang Polu forbade the exiles to enter the mainland through the Jinsha Pass.

These were originally ruthless people who brought a lot of uneasiness to the camp.

"Can't you be shocked, do you need me to come forward to kill chickens and monkeys for you?" Geng Zhong said crisply.

"That's not necessary, I don't want to make a fuss, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous on the surface. It's just that yesterday there was a new team of horses, twenty fast horses, all of them good hands. There was also a carriage with a heavily curtained veil, and the people inside looked like they were either rich or noble. ”

"Oh?" Geng Zhong was also suspicious, "Then you can find out in the name of distributing supplies." ”

"Lord Geng, that's why I'm going to report, those people are camping alone outside the camp and are not with us. And never dealt with us. ”

"In that case," Geng Zhong looked at the men he had brought, "then I will personally meet these people, and you must remember to appease the relatives and friends of our brothers." ”

Li Heng nodded in response. According to Li Heng's guidance, Geng Zhong took his men and horses and surrounded the horse team in the northwest corner of the camp.

Without waiting for Geng Zhong to ask, the leader of the horse team greeted him, "This military master, my master originally wanted to enter the customs to join his relatives, but he didn't want Jinsha to be unable to pass the customs, so he waited here for the news of the switch, I don't know what the military master commanded?"

Geng Zhong just glanced at the big man in front of him with his eyes, and he already had some eyebrows in his heart, this person had a straight nose and a wide mouth, a resolute face, and the muscle lines on his body revealed that he was a person who practiced martial arts all year round.

The tall guards behind him were not ordinary family members. What Geng Zhong cares about the most is the weapons in their hands, including Xiqiang's full moon scimitar, Beiliang's straight-backed saber, and Nanjun's wide-backed sword.

Geng Zhong just wanted to find out the situation, and see that the other party's attitude was not as humble or arrogant as having bad intentions, and politely hugged his fists, "I am Geng Zhong of the Jinsha Winning Army, now the battle situation is unknown, and the enemy is cunning and insidious, in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, I can only aggrieve you first and wait for the opportunity, I will understand everyone's situation, but also to better protect everyone." ”

Saying that, Geng Zhong and his subordinates were about to check the carriage behind Ji Changan. The guards in the team instantly held their swords. Geng Zhong's victorious soldiers also immediately wound their crossbows and protected Geng Zhong.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and Ji Changan hurriedly waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to be impulsive. He clenched his fists to Geng Zhong again, "In Chang'an next season, please rest easy, there are two ladies in my family on top of the carriage." Let me tell you first. ”

Geng Zhong had enough patience to wait for Ji Chang'an to report before he opened the car curtain.

The carriage was covered with a thick brocade quilt, and there was a faint fragrance of fat powder, and there were indeed two delicate-looking people sitting on the car. Although the journey has been tiring, the two ladies still have white teeth and red lips, carefully powdered, and the gold and jade utensils in their hands are not only delicate but also luxurious, unlike the vulgar things on the market.

Geng Zhong looked around the layout of the carriage again, found nothing suspicious, turned to Ji Changan and said, "The world is uneven, and the two ladies are both noble bodies, so you still have to be more careful." ”

Ji Changan pressed the saber on his body behind him, and clasped his fists and saluted, "We naturally understand the general's kindness, and we are also because our hometown was destroyed by those demon beasts and demon army, so we have to protect the two ladies of my family to go to Guannai to join our relatives." The people in distress only want to be able to live in peace, and they don't want to add trouble to the sands. ”

"That's very good, you can go to the camp to wave the flag and have a breath, and you can take care of it, and it will be easier to clear the customs in the future. Geng Zhong reminded him softly and hard.

Ji Chang'an's face was sincere, "That's natural, Chang'an on behalf of my master thanks the Jinsha soldiers for their kind arrangement." ”

This season, Chang'an's words were not leaky, and the depth in his eyes made Geng Zhong a little uneasy. When Ji Changan mentioned waving the flag, he said that it was the arrangement of the Jinsha soldiers, and he probably saw Li Heng's identity.

Geng Zhong knew that the person in front of him was not inferior to him, and after some temptation, he found no other abnormalities, so he gave Li Heng a few words again, and led the crowd back, but he noticed that the curtain of the carriage was lifted again when he passed by.

Peeping behind the curtain was Ji Changan's eldest grandson who escorted him all the way from Yecheng in Beiliang to Nanjun to join his sister. She watched Geng Zhong leave uneasily, and then complained to her sister Changsun Xi next to her, "This soldier of Great Xia is so rude, sister, why don't you tell them that we are from the Changsun family, you are still the wife of the little prince of Nanjun, they dare to do this to us!"

The eldest grandson Xi took his sister's hand, lowered the curtain from her hand, and sighed, "Sister, what can we do if we tell them our identity? In the land of Great Xia, it is not easy to find a Gou An. ”

When the eldest grandson heard this, sadness came from it, and tears appeared in his eyes again. The eldest grandson felt sorry for his sister and let her fall into his arms, "Sister, if you are sad, go to your sister's arms for a while, it is not easy for Lord Chang'an to protect us all the way, and we must not let him be more distracted." ”

The Warcraft army swept through Xiqiang and Nanjun from the land where it never came. The little prince of Nanjun had no choice but to go into battle in person, but he didn't want to be vulnerable in front of those demon armies, and even the capital had fallen. Fortunately, the eldest grandson Wujiang had already made arrangements. When Ji Chang'an protected the eldest grandson to break through from the Northern Liang, he explained that if it was difficult for Nanjun to settle down, then he would take the token and go to the eldest grandson Wujiang's old man in Daxia.

After the Nanjun City was broken, Ji Changan had no choice but to take on the task of protecting the Lord to break through the siege, but this time, it was the two eldest ladies of the eldest grandson family that he wanted to protect.

Because Jinsha did not let him go, Ji Changan could only take his subordinates to protect the two ladies and station them next to the camp of the homeless camp, he saw that Li Heng was the eyeliner that Jinsha planted in the camp of the homeless camp, and he did not want to have more contact with this flag waver.

When Geng Zhong returned to Jinsha City, he saw a half-grown boy with a little girl at the city gate entangled with the soldiers in the city, the soldiers couldn't bear to shoot arrows at the two children, and dissuaded them from going to the camp to live, but the two children were stubborn and ruthless, facing the arrows in the city, ready to break into the Jinsha.

Geng Zhonggang wanted to reprimand these two little ghosts for being unreasonable, but he didn't want the half-grown boy to turn around and blurt out, "Brother Geng?"
