Chapter 94, Northern Chaos (8)
Xiahou Junjie calmly commanded the Benlei Army's bow and arrow camp to arrange defenses. As long as he saw someone approaching, he would shoot out random arrows.
Those figures did not dare to approach under the dense rain of arrows of the Thunder Army. From time to time, screams rang out in the wilderness.
Seeing that the Binglei Army had already assembled, the Gaul Light Cavalry outside the camp realized that they could not gain any advantage in shooting. They shot a few arrows outside the camp and quickly retreated back to the darkness, and quickly disappeared completely.
"The enemy has retreated!" Ben Lei Jun cheered.
"Well, the whole army is careful and not careless." Xiahou Junjie nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that after all these years of hard work, my Benlei Army is no less weak than any legion in terms of adaptability.
Just looking at today, the soldiers were suddenly attacked, but they were panicked and were not confused, and they could quickly form teams under the organization of their respective officers, which made Xiahou Junjie very satisfied.
"Sir, if our reconnaissance cavalry did not make any mistakes in reconnaissance, then these enemies may be just a small group of enemy cavalry, and they want to take advantage of the chaos." A staff officer told Xiahou Junjie.
"Maybe it's not the Western coalition, maybe it's someone else?" Cao Lan didn't know when he came to the gate of the camp again, and knew that it was not the time to act voluntarily.
"Others? The Cao army just said that the general was not good at reconnaissance, and now he said that it was not an enemy. Could it be that this principle is on your side? Could it be that you just like to go against everyone to show your cleverness?" Xiahou Minde couldn't help but retort. Although the words were unpleasant, it resonated with the officers next to him. Everyone's faces looking at Cao Lan became increasingly ugly.
"The guards, you will send a hundred people out to check them out. If there are any enemy wounded soldiers, they will capture two of them." Xiahou Junjie shouted to his guards captain.
Soon, the personal guards carried more than a dozen bodies back to the camp.
"Master, that's right, it's the Gaul light cavalry." Xiahou Minde held up a torch to look after the corpses underground, shouted excitedly, and then looked at Cao Lan with a demonstration.
Cao Lan looked down and looked closely. The corpse on the ground was indeed high nose and deep eyes, dazzling golden hair, the red armor on his head was extremely bright, and several feathered arrows were inserted on his vital body. It seemed that he was the unlucky person who was shot to death by Ben Lei Jun just now.
"Okay, the enemy has retreated. Let's go and rest first." Xiahou Junjie glanced at Cao Lan, expressionless.
"Master General, the siege should be temporarily suspended tomorrow. When the traces of this team of Gaul light cavalry attacked were found, then make a decision." Cao Lan gritted his teeth and bowed.
"Cao Lan, are you crazy? If you are afraid of death, go back to Taiyuan Mansion to sleep with the young lady, don't disturb the morale of the army here." Xiahou Minde cursed.
"Well, according to General Cao, there is such a cavalry, so I have to be careful. Minde, you will take the Second Cavalry Division out to check tomorrow, search carefully for nearly fifty miles, and immediately repay the enemy situation when encountering it!" Xiahou Junjie pondered for a while and ordered.
"Master, why don't you let me fight!" Cao Lan couldn't help but say.
"You have another important task! Okay, everyone, go and rest!" Xiahou Junjie's face turned cold and he turned around and left.
Xiahou Minde, who was beside him, glared at Cao Lan with an ugly face and left on his own.
"Cao Shi Group. You are too upright and not very good at being. You must know how to advance and retreat. You must be relaxed and moderate, let alone behave?" Xue Jingxuan said softly when he passed by Cao Lan.
"Thank you, Mr. Jing Xuan, for your reminder." Cao Lan bowed and turned around and left.
"The stones in the pit are smelly and hard! Haha, they are still young after all." Xue Jingxuan sighed, but forgot that he was just a young man who had just turned thirty.

"I've been working all night last night and I'm so sleepy." Chen Nan, the gatekeeper of the Benlei Army, stretched and walked into his tent.
"Well, fortunately, there is no need to go to the battle today, otherwise we will definitely not be able to calm down. It was because of the hard work of the brothers of the Second Cavalry Division, who were sent out for a word, and were wandering around and eating dust outside." A soldier smiled when he heard this.
"Shh, these things are not something we can talk about. This is the suggestion put forward by the Cao army." At that time, Cao Lan proposed to send troops out to reconnaissance the enemy situation in the daytime, but Chen Nan was also present, so he could hear it all.
"Cao Shi Group, haha, you've almost offended us commanders." The soldier laughed and turned around and lay on the couch.
"But if the Cao army had not been alert last night, we wouldn't know if we were afraid that the enemy's cavalry would be touched in front of the door." Chen Nan murmured. He was sincerely grateful to Cao Lan. After all, he was on duty last night. If he was rushed up by the enemy's cavalry, he would definitely be the first to be affected. He would have died for a lifetime. Even if he was lucky enough to die under the enemy's rain of arrows, he would have been exiled or imprisoned due to unfavorable alertness.
Now, not only did he avoid the attack of arrow rain in time, but he was also praised by Xiahou Junjie's army for his proper handling.
"Shi Cao, I hope you are fine." Chen Nan lay down in a complicated mood.

When Lei Dongfeng woke up from his dream, it was almost noon. Since he returned to this chaotic world, it has rarely been so late.
However, this also made him look very refreshed and energetic.
"Who is conscious of the big dream first? I know it in my life. I have enough spring sleep in the cottage, but the sun is slow outside the window." Looking at the gorgeous spring scenery in the valley outside the window, feeling the slightly drunk spring breeze and sunshine come together. Lei Dongfeng was in a good mood and chanted loudly.
"Brother is so talented!" Zhang Ce shook the folding fan and walked in. At this moment, he finally returned to his handsome young man in white clothes and was full of elegance.
"Uh, this poem..." Lei Dongfeng came through time. Although he didn't mind taking the poems of literati from the Han Dynasty as his own work, this poem seemed to be written by Zhuge Wuhou.
"Although the words of this poem are simple and simple at first, I can read it carefully but it contains a sense of openness and integrity, which is very good." Zhang Ce praised.
"Well, it's just a matter of chance..." Lei Dongfeng's old face turned red, and he finally stole the poem for himself openly.
He had already figured it out just now. Firstly, this poem was from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was probably fabricated by Luo Guanzhong; secondly, Zhuge Liang in this time and space is said to have followed Taizu since he was a child and never lived in seclusion in Longzhong, so naturally there was no such chant in the thatched cottage.
After understanding this, Lei Dongfeng calmly accepted Chuck's praise.
"Anyway, Taizu, you are also a thief. Since you haven't stolen this song, I'll use it for the time being." Lei Dongfeng laughed and thought to himself.
"Brother seems to be in a good mood." Zhang Ce asked deliberately.
In fact, when Chuck came back from Xu Huanzong, he had gained something that happened last night, but Chuck was very particular about speaking skills, so it would be better to pretend to be confused in some things.
"Well, it's a good idea, from today on, I'll have the word "王机" Lei Dongfeng smiled.
"Congratulations to my elder brother. At the academy, Dean Zhao Huicheng once asked to give me a copy, but my elder brother didn't want it. Why did he want it today?" Zhang Ce said with a smile.
"Uh, Xu Daoshou gave it to you, well, he said this is what Dean Zhao meant..." Lei Dongfeng said embarrassedly.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao, with Dean Zhao and Xu Daoshou jointly giving you a title, this experience is considered a unique part of the empire. In the future, it will be a loud story in the imperial military and political affairs, even Taoism and the people!" Zhang Ce bowed.
"Dede, don't make fun of me, but I really like this word "生天子" Lei Dongfeng smiled.
"Why is that word "王?" Zhang Ce looked listening. He knew that if Lei Dongfeng could connect with Zhao Huicheng at this moment, it would have supreme benefits for him, his brothers, and the Kuanglan Army.
"The word "does not return." Lei Dongfeng still likes this word "preface". It seems unremarkable, but it has a generous artistic conception.
"Well, I understand. Dean Huicheng took the nine songs of the ancestor Doctor Qu: The east wind drifts and the gods rain, leaving spirits? I forget to return. But I want you not to forget to return." Zhang Ce thought for a while and understood the meaning of the word "Lei Dongfeng Bei".
However, Zhang Ce still had some questions in his heart. He could not ask Xu Huanzong these questions, but he could not ask Lei Dongfeng for the time being.
Why did Zhao Huicheng value his elder brother so much when he was in the college? Of course, his elder brother must be capable. But when his elder brother's career was not good, especially when he was sent to a place like Longcheng, he was just asking about interference? Now he has expressed his feelings through Xu Huanzong, and the connotation is worth pondering.
Lei Dongfeng was open-minded. Although his memory had been linked to certain things and gradually understood what he should do, he would never become a pawn for anyone. All he wanted to do was to solve the final answer, then eliminate all hidden dangers that threaten him, lead his brothers and women back to the empire.
However, now, Lei Dongfeng feels that he should be safe for the time being. At least in the Imperial military and political circles, Zhao Huicheng and Xu Huanzong are as the protection. Even if the military headquarters want to move him, they must consider it clearly. What's more, behind him is Liu Renze and the person behind Liu Renze?

"His grandmother Cao Qinglin, who should search for the movements of the enemy, let us suffer from the pain of eating soil and drinking outside." Xiahou Minde cursed.
In April, in the Central and Southern Province, although there is green in the wilderness, it is not covered by mountains and trees, and the wind is strong and the strong wind brings dust and comes to your face.
"Second General, why didn't he ask the general to transfer Cao Lan out of our Ben Lei Jun? That boy is stubborn and not familiar with human affairs, which is really annoying." A regiment leader said.
"There is no way. The eldest brother attaches great importance to reputation. He brought the boy from the imperial capital Cao family that day and almost offended Chief Cao Qianlong. If he was transferred out now, it would definitely be criticized. And he can still be used now." Xiahou Minde sighed.
"Why didn't the general send this kid out of the camp to find the enemy? He clearly made this idea." The regiment commander asked again.
"Brother seems to be a little distrustful of him now. Humph, such a self-righteous guy should have broken his trust long ago." Xiahou Minde was still indignant.
Xiahou Minde said it happily here, but he forgot a problem. What the world has never lacked is villains who fuel the fire, and those who are exploited are often the idiots in their hearts.
The group leader looked at Xiahou Minde privately, and this was the case.
Unfortunately, there is never a shortage of idiots in this world, let alone self-righteous idiots. Moreover, these people often gain the trust of superiors because of their occasional stupidity, especially those who hope to control the overall situation, need Xiahou Minde around them. They are a bit like climbing up, but they have no big ambitions, and they do not have subordinates who have the ability to cause trouble for themselves.
This is their destiny. If Lei Dongfeng is also a chess piece now, then Xiahou Minde is just a footsteps stone
