Li Lao personally rushed over to assist Lan Kai in garrisoning.

Lan Kai didn't recognize Li Lao, but Li Lao's momentum made him feel depressed.

"This is definitely for the great masters, even the great monks. ”

The strong are respected, and Lan Kai is also very envious and respectful of the masters.

"Don't be restrained, I'm also from Xia. ”

As for whether Li Lao is from Xia Guo, only Zhang Xian knows, but he is now serving Xia Guo, so he calls himself Xia Guoren.

This time the relationship between them has been brought closer.

"Didn't the barbarians attack?"

There was no sign of battle here, and Li Lao asked in surprise.

"It's just that a lot of barbarians came to check, and I seem to have seen the figure of the Central Plains, but I didn't see it too clearly. ”

Lankay reported truthfully.

"Central Plains?"

This aroused the vigilance of Li Lao, and Xu Fang almost broke through the chaotic stone pass last time.

"You pay attention to vigilance, the other party does not have the participation of the Great Monk, and I am not good at making a move, well, you also brought a god-killing crossbow?"

"Yes, there is one left here, and there is still one in the general's place. ”

"Good, very good!"

After Li Lao shouted hello twice, he said to Lan Kai;

"I'm nearby, if the other party has a big master and a big monk involved, you should deal with it with the crossbow and the god-killing crossbow first, don't be nervous, they can't make waves with me. ”

"Yes!"

Lan Kai agreed, he knew what Li Lao meant, which was to let them psychologically despise the opponent's masters, and without psychological pressure, they would first use the car crossbow and the god-killing crossbow to deal with the opponent's masters and great cultivators, if it didn't work, Li Lao would appear.

Li Lao left, and he was in a hurry to go back to discuss with Qin Kang, because it was suspected that there were people from the Central Plains helping the barbarians.

When Qin Kang heard this, his face changed slightly.

"Do you see the other side's face?"

"I didn't see it clearly, they didn't get too close, and Xia Guo's young general's cultivation was not so high, but he just saw his back. ”

Qin Kang frowned, he was the only one here who had participated in the last war, he knew some of the inside information, and he knew it too much, but he didn't dare to say it.

Thinking about the inside story of that war made his heart tremble.

"If there are really people from the Central Plains involved, you notify me, and I'll go and see. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Kang pleaded with Li Lao.

Li Lao nodded in agreement, and then he went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion again.

The generals were being convened in the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and when they saw that Li Lao was coming, Liu Guozhong personally stood up to greet him, and Li Lao had a very high status in the hearts of the generals and was very respected.

Li Lao himself was very simple and not so arrogant, and he nodded at everyone.

"It happens that they are all here, and I will inform the Metropolitan Governor that the barbarians are suspected of having Central Plains people secretly assisting, so you must be prepared. ”

Liu Guozhong did not ask where he got the news, because it was Li Lao who came to tell him personally, so there would be no mistake.

I am not afraid of the invasion of foreign enemies, but I am afraid of internal moles.

Liu Guozhong is confident that he can block the invasion of the barbarians, but he is afraid that among the barbarians, the Central Plains will give advice and even help.

And the news brought by Liang Mao also sent chills down everyone's backs.

The Japanese are certainly hateful, but they are always worse than the Central Plains people helping the barbarians to enter the Central Plains.

After all, the Wa people are not classified as Central Plains people.

After Li Lao finished speaking, he left, and Liu Guozhong and the others were silent.

"Governor, shouldn't we also make a surprise attack, after all, we have always been on the defensive, maybe the barbarians didn't expect it. ”

Lan Fang proposed.

"General Lan, don't you know, the barbarians are not the same as before, but now they can be said to have made the strongest defense, in the narrow place in front of this pass, the large army of troops cannot be used in battle, and our heavy equipment is also difficult to deploy outside the city, so they can't break through their defenses, and the surprise attack will suffer great losses. ”

What Liu Guozhong meant was that the barbarians would also set up camp and make fortifications that were no worse than their defenses, because the trebuchets and heavy crossbows were not enough to shoot range, and if they wanted to break through the fortifications, they had to send the heavy crossbows and trebuchets to the outside of the pass, but the area outside the gate was small and full of barbarian corpses and rubble, so they could not be used at all, so they did not approve of the attack.

Lan Fang didn't insist, after all, he didn't know the battle situation when he first came.

In the past few days, tens of thousands of reinforcements have come one after another, and the Ranshi Pass has suddenly become lively, and the barbarians have not taken the initiative to attack the city, so the war has been stalemate.

But Liu Guozhong knows that this is the tranquility before the storm, and once it breaks out, it must be the sky falling apart.

Therefore, he strictly ordered all reinforcements to be ready for battle, not to slack off, and there will be no forgiveness for violators.

It's true that the defending side is always passive.

Because I don't know when the other party will attack, and what intensity of the attack, I am always on guard, and my nerves are jumping tightly, which is really tiring.

But what can be done, for the information from the barbarians, the exterminator army is blank.

And on a windy night, a man suddenly appeared in the cave where Lan Kai was stationing, this man was masked and dressed in leather clothes, he came to the cave as if looking for something, and finally stopped at the fork in the cave where Lan Kai buried the remains.

He stood for a long time, as if hesitating, and finally let out a faint sigh, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

The appearance of this person did not attract the attention of Lan Kai and the others, because this masked man's cultivation was too high, and it was too easy not to be discovered by them.

Lan Kai and the others didn't notice that someone had entered the cave, but that didn't mean that no one had found out.

Li Lao looked at the man's back full of doubts.

This person must have come out of the Troubled Stone Pass, and he must be a great master and a great monk sent by various countries, but what puzzled Li Lao was that this person looked very familiar from the back, but he deliberately covered it up, he really couldn't guess who this person was, and he didn't know what his purpose was here, and Li Lao couldn't track it down.

There is a large mansion in the corner of the west gate of the stone gate, the walls are old, the roof is new, and it is thought to have been recently repaired.

This is the resting and lodging place of the great masters and great monks sent by the Qin State for reinforcements.

There is a bedroom on the east side, this is Qin Kang's bedroom, and at this moment there is a stranger in this bedroom.

The so-called stranger is the one who has never appeared in the help of the Troubled Stone Pass.

"Father, why are you here?"

The person who suddenly appeared in Qin Kang's bedroom first startled Qin Kang, and after seeing the face of the person who came, he hurriedly bowed down.

After the bow was over, Qin Kang asked cautiously.

Qin Kang's father was an old marquis of the Qin State;

He had long since stopped asking about mundane matters, why did he suddenly come to the Chaotic Stone Pass, how could this not make Qin Kang full of doubts.

"The Holy One asked me to come, alas, I have to come. ”

It turned out that Qin Mu ordered him to come.

Qin Kang's father was the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the four states, the commander-in-chief of the last battle of Ranshiguan, and his power was greater than that of the governor of the exterminating army at that time.
