Chapter 181, A word from a scholar

In order to avoid being blinded, Qi Kang'an and the others did not rush forward. Even those on horseback kept walking in the middle of the team.

Wei Ge is a very talkative person, and he chatted endlessly with Hu Zi and Hu Zi, starting from chatting about the things they encountered on the road last time when they worked together, then talking about the mother-in-law at home, the widow next door, and so on.

The girls in which brothel you sneak into are pretty, and the girls in which restaurant are tasteful.

The distance from Xiangbei County to Pingyang Pass is not that far, at least not as far as the way they walked. It only takes less than four hours.

Pingyang Pass is actually just a thick and high city wall. There is a military camp on the left and right ten miles inside the city wall, and there are densely packed large tents on both sides.

Still far away from the pass, Qi Kang'an told the nearest Qi Erniu, "Don't talk when you get to the front, just push the cart properly."

Qi Erniu nodded and whispered to the back. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the team received the news that they were about to enter the military camp. They were all tight-lipped.

Such a continuous food delivery team made the soldiers who came to protect them look sideways. It turned out that they were a group of refugees, but they didn't even look at them. They even thought that they were already dead, but they were still standing there.

sensible.

Precisely because they didn't look at it, they didn't pay attention to their occasional whispers to each other that seemed to be passing news.

When you pass by the military camp and ask for a token check, Weige and the others will stop here and arrange for someone to follow you to escort them forward.

Huzi, the team leader, was responsible for the handover work, and asked Qi Kangan, the so-called deputy team leader, to follow the leading soldiers and lead the large team to the city gate to wait for him.

Qi Baoer looked out through the fox fur with his eyes.

If you look at the budget for tents here, you can see by visual inspection that there must be at least 3,000 to 4,000 large tents. According to her understanding, the military specifications here are that one tent can accommodate one genus, which is fifty people.

Do we need at least 150,000 to 200,000 troops to guard here, or are not every tent full?

Qi Baoer felt the surrounding atmosphere, and there were dense breathing sounds on both sides, which made her queue up. The second possibility was that there was an army of at least one hundred thousand people here.

But what puzzled her the most was that this place was obviously a military camp with hundreds of thousands of soldiers inside, so why were there not a few soldiers visible outside, as if they were all hiding in tents on purpose.

I looked at the sky, damn, it was exactly noon.

The soldier who led them only said a few words at first, one of which was "Follow", and then he led them to the city gate with a straight face the whole time.

After calling the city gate open and leading them outside the city gate, he said "wait here" and returned to the city.

The city gate was shut again.

This situation doesn't look right.

Qi Kangan whispered uneasily: "Bao, why do you feel something is wrong?"

He was worried all the way, but there were outsiders beside him who didn't dare to say, "Why are we the only food transport team coming all the way?"

Qi Baoer's eyes flashed, "Dad, I want to go away for a while."

Um???

Wait, what did you just say?

"No." Where is this? Why don't you leave for a while? Where are you going and what are you doing?

However, Qi Baoer stretched out his hand and poked Qi Kang'an somewhere on the waist, and slithered out of Qi Kang'an's cotton-padded clothes.

Qi Kang'an, who couldn't move and could only blink, said: "..."

Okay, okay, that's really good. If you have the ability, don't come back.

Oh, bah, pray for health, pray for health, slap you in the face, what do you mean?

Girl, come back to me.

Short and fast, he passed between the adults' legs and the workshop like lightning. A white shadow passed over the city wall and disappeared into a tent.

A soldier on duty on the city wall rubbed his eyes strangely. How did he feel that a light passed in front of him just now?

I looked around, looked around, nothing happened?

It seemed like I was dazzled by looking at the real snow for a long time.

Then he looked at the group of people below with some sympathy. Alas, these people probably don’t know that they are going to die on this trip, right?

-

Next to the largest tent in the camp, and outside one tent separated from the other two tents, a carriage was parked here.

"General, the method to deal with General Zhenbei is feasible, but this time we have to deal with his son...??"

The voice of a middle-aged man who was called a general sneered: "It is better to be reckless. Because of him, the lives of the people of Yingzhou were hurt. I don't see how the father and son can be called the two divine generals who protect the country by the world?"

"General..." With what they did, how could the world slander the Wu family and his son?

"You don't understand. The truth is not important. What the people believe is just a word from a scholar."

Qibaoer under the carriage: "..."

Although this sounds disgusting, it's really true.

The capital is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Yingzhou, and among the scholars in the capital there are rumors of how unkind and cruel General Zhenbei and his son were during the war with Yingzhou.

Haha, because the common people have great trust in scholars, the reputation of father and son must be so bad that they have to take off their general uniforms.

If you win a battle but are stripped of your uniform, this will chill the hearts of your soldiers.

This is an attempt to shake the foundation of the country.

"General, just now the grain transport team from Yuande Inn arrived to deliver grain to Guanjia Pass, but now at Guanjia Pass..."

Qi Bao'er: Damn it, why does this person always say half the words and leave the other half?

"Then tell them not to go back."

"But it's hard to explain at the Yuande Inn."

"If they're not just a small merchant, why do we need to explain to them?"

"General, Boss Yuan of the Yuande Inn has a long-standing friendship with the prince. To put it bluntly, the Yuande Inn can be regarded as half of the prince's property. If we touch the people of the Yuande Inn, aren't we touching the prince's people?"

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged general asked: "Did you just say that most of the people transporting food to Yuande Inn this time are refugees?"

"Yes, I asked the team leader that the Yuande Inn was short of manpower because the prince had other orders, so shopkeeper Zhao gave some small favors to the refugees and asked them to transport food.

Today’s refugees are willing to work hard if they have a stutter, so Shopkeeper Zhao is using waste."

His words were full of contempt for the refugees and disregard for their lives.

There was silence in the big tent for a while, and then the middle-aged general's voice came out: "Go and tell the team leader that the refugees will be escorted the rest of the way."

"yes."

The sound of footsteps left the tent and hurried away in the other direction.

Qi Baoer stayed under the car for a while, but there was no sound coming from the tent, and no one went into the tent, so he ducked in the other direction.

There was no point in following the person in front of her. She was running around looking for the granary.

It was not difficult to find. At this time, all the soldiers in the camp were hiding as if they had been ordered to do so. They were standing outside in a formation, waiting for the place where soldiers were guarding. In all likelihood, it was the granary.

Uh,,,well, she was wrong, this is the weapons/arsenal.

You've already come, why don't you show her what's there?

Wow, such a big catapult, there are also a dozen large rams, ten catapults in two rows, good guys, there are dozens of heavy crossbows hidden here.

Wait, why are they all used for siege?
