Mu Tianlang, the Central Army.

Hucha Dongchan said suspiciously: "This Western Rong army is not attacking, nor is it not attacking, what are you doing here?"

Liu Ce looked at Li Luo and saw that Li Luo was thinking about it, but he did not respond. Huzha, the winter cicada wrinkled and wrinkled, turned his head and ignored Li Luo.

Li Luo looked at the Shahu Lake 50 miles away, and at this time there was no soldier. Li Luo frowned slightly. Suddenly there was a noise in the camp. Chi Li looked back and rushed in. When Qi Shaobing rushed in unhappy, he saw Li Luo crying: "General, the Xirong bandits sneaked into the camp, and the military rations were robbed by them."

Li Luo looked calm, glanced at Qi Shaobing and asked, "When will the village be robbed?"

"Two moments ago."

Hucha Dongchan snorted coldly: "General Qi ran so fast."

Qi Shaobing felt a chill, shrank his neck, lowered his head and did not dare to respond. Li Luo continued to ask, "How many people are there in the Xirong army? Which road is the robbery of the village?"

Qi Shaobing hurriedly replied: "General, there are at least three or five thousand people. They came out of Tunlin Road. When they heard the sound, these robbers had already rushed into the camp. It was too fast. In the future, they would not be able to make a formation. I beg the general to forgive the young general for his ineffective refusal." After that, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like a thunderbolt.

Li Luo nodded and said casually that you should get up first, then stopped looking at Qi Shaobing, staring intently towards the direction of Tunlindao, and indeed saw the birds in shock when the forest moved.

After a while, a team of cavalry rushed out of the forest and merged into the Xirong army. At this time, black smoke rose from the camp ten miles away from the Houying camp. Qi Shaobing trembled and cursed: "These evil thieves who should be cut into pieces must have burned our camp."

Li Luo said to himself, "In just two moments, the troops have been running nearly thirty miles, and they still have to rob the camp and set fire. The Western Rong army can indeed be considered as coming and going like the wind." After saying that, he looked back at Liu Ce and Shen Xiangdong, and both of them saw solemnity in their eyes. Li Luo smiled and nodded slightly. Liu Ce and Shen Xiangdong felt inexplicably relieved, and nodded slightly, silent.

The formation of the Western Rong army changed slightly and slowly retreated to the rear, but it was in a relaxed and leisurely manner, as if walking in the back garden of one's own home.

"Ningerfeng has learned about it. The future is long. I will meet General Hucha and all the heroes in the future. It's too late today. General Li is too tired to think about it. Let's take a break soon." After saying that, with a long laugh, the Western Rong army retreated to the defense line of the Western Expedition Army.

Li Luo watched the Xirong army retreat further and further away, and the dusk mist rose and gradually disappeared. After a while, white smoke was released from the fortress ahead. The Xirong army had withdrawn from the Shahu defense line. Although Mu Tianlang did not lose many troops in the first confrontation, the Xirong army was invincible and the morale in the army was quite depressed.

The Central Army’s tent.

Li Luo sat on the commander's position and carefully watched the military information coming from various departments.

The initial battle was unfavorable, and the generals in the tent were depressed. More than 300 people died in the Yue Cavalry Camp and nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers. Most of them were beheaded by the Western Rong cavalry when they finally withdrew. However, the Western Rong army also left more than 800 corpses.

From this point of view, it seems that Mu Tianlang had some advantage, but the military rations in the camp were robbed, and the Western Rong army entered and exited like a nobody, greatly increasing the popularity of the Ning'erfeng tribe. Perhaps it is unsatisfactory that no one under Qi Shaobing was injured.

After reading the battle report, Li Luo was quite displeased and angrily blamed Hu Chajing for not obeying the orders of the Central Army. He followed the rules and asked the Central Army to push out the camp gate and beheaded. Liu Ce and Shen Xiangdong hurriedly persuaded him. Before the big battle started, they killed the powerful generals first. It was unwise. The rest of them also pleaded for Hu Chajing. Hu Cha Dongchan was so scared that he almost burst into tears. In the end, he could not resist the persuasion of the generals. Li Luo blamed Hu Chajing with Ni Qing and Ni white sticks to serve as a warning to others, which was considered to be the end of the matter.

Qi Shaobing failed to protect the camp and even took 60 military sticks.

Since Hu Chajing was beaten by a stick, there were some complaints in the army. It was said that Li Luo was just talking about the war on paper and did not know the army. Liu Ce ran around and suppressed the rumors.

When Hucha Dongchan saw his brother suffering, he couldn't help but burst into tears and complained to Li Luo behind his back. Fortunately, Hucha Jing kept comforting and advised him not to act voluntarily. Seeing that his brother was like this, it would be difficult for Hucha Dongchan to say anything else, but he was inevitably cold-eyed at Li Luo.

After half a month, Hu Chajing's injuries gradually improved and he was able to ride his horse to train troops. He felt a little angry. He was more strict in his training of the two battalions of Yue and Hu, and was about to avenge his shame. Seeing that the commander general was humiliated, no matter how harsh the training was, he was not dissatisfied with it.

One day, Li Luo inspected the battalions, rode his horse to the stream in the middle of the camp, jumped off his horse and sat on a stone, looking at the frozen water surface, and was stunned. When he was dazed, he was suddenly awakened by a ruthless sound on the side. He turned to see a woman in plain clothes standing by the stream with a push of clothes in her arms, looking at the stream, putting down her clothes, and trying hard to pick up the stone beside her to smash the ice on the bank of the stream, but she was weak and she didn't break it after several blows.

Li Luo got up and walked closer, asking, "Do you want help?"

The woman whispered, quickly tidied up her clothes, stroked the hair on her forehead, and said with a polite politely, "I'm disturbing the general. The girl wants to get some water to wash clothes, but she didn't expect that the ice was frozen so strong in just a few days." After saying that, she looked up at Li Luo and whispered embarrassedly: "This general, can you please help the little girl smash the ice open?"

Li Luo glanced at the woman's slightly red hands, her skin was white and tender, and she didn't look like she was doing these tasks often. She smiled gently and said, "Why did you ask a girl to come here to wash clothes in such cold weather? Most of them belong to men."

The woman's face turned red and she replied embarrassedly: "It's not the general's guess. The folk girl just does something within her ability. She can't always stay in the camp for free and eat and live for free, which will make people look down upon."

"Hasn't there never been any female relatives in the army? How could you follow in the army?"

The woman's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she lowered her head and replied, "Go back to the general, the civilian girl did not come to the army voluntarily, but came with the prince a few days ago."

Li Luoqi said: "Is it King Huai? Didn't the Hou army send you back when transporting food and grass? Why haven't you left yet?"

The woman was stunned, lowered her head and did not speak. Li Luo was stunned, shook her head and smiled bitterly, and raised the big stone beside her and was about to smash it towards Jieying. Suddenly, a horse rushed towards him and shouted from afar: "General!"

But it was Ni Qing and Li Luo who put down the stones and looked back. When the horse approached, Ni Qing jumped out of the horse, knelt down and bowed, "General, Miss Chu is back."

"Oh," Li Luo smiled and said, "I'll go and see." After that, he walked towards the war horse, and Ni Qing hurriedly followed. Li Luo turned over the horse and said to Ni Qing, "Ni Qing, you send this girl back to the camp."

The woman was already frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The young woman doesn't know she is a general. Please forgive the young woman's crime of ignorance."

Ni Qing looked at the woman who was standing by the stream just now, scratched her head and said, "General, this..."

"The fault of King Huai is not yours." Li Luo said in a harmonious voice, "If you are willing to stay, go and help the doctors in the camp to make some wounded medicine and take care of the wounded soldiers with them. Don't worry, no one in the camp will hurt your lives."

The woman was startled and replied repeatedly: "General, the civilian girl has never thought so."

Li Luo sighed and said, "You don't want to go back, just because King Huai died. Whether you want to make excuses for the reputation of the royal family or help me expel them, someone in the royal city will definitely kill you secretly. Maybe you can't go back to the royal city and die in the underworld. But these things are beyond my reach and I can't protect you. Since I don't want to leave, I will stay in the army for some time. When this matter is over, I will send you back."
