"I've finally finished eating." As soon as he stepped out of the tent of the 100-man team who had just eaten together, Hu Mamu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had just finished a fierce battle. He had never eaten with ordinary soldiers, let alone Han and Turkic soldiers with completely different customs, he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

"If you do this, you can't be a general in Hardy's army for a long time." Hearing his words, He Pu couldn't help but say: "The Han people pay attention to the common people and soldiers sharing joys and sorrows during wartime. Not only does they eat and sleep together, but they are not far from the same food and sleep. This will make the soldiers disgusted, and the soldiers will not want to listen to your orders over time."

"As far as I know, the Tang State had generals who did not share the joys and sorrows with soldiers, and the orders issued by them were not violated. In my opinion, what was the reason why those people joined the army? They were for heavy military pay and the benefits they could get after winning the battle; so as long as the soldiers were paid enough and they could always lead the soldiers to win the battle, the soldiers did not care whether the generals shared the joys and sorrows." Hu Mamu said.

"Besides," he paused, and said with a wry smile: "I will not stay in Hardy's army for a few days. After arriving at the valley entrance, I will be dismissed by the Governor. Why bother to yourself?"

Hearing these words, He Pu and Shi Xin stopped talking. Not only Hu Mamu, they most likely wouldn't be able to continue to stay in Hardy's army. In the long run, why both of them care about the impression they left in the hearts of the soldiers?

"No matter what, I have to pretend in the next few days." After a while, He Pu said: "We are going to bring the soldiers to the valley entrance. Sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the next few days can increase the morale of the army and reduce the number of people who want to escape."

"Yes." Hu Mamu did not refute and agreed. It was only a few days before he could bear it.

At this time, the three of them had already returned to He Pu's tent. After Hu Mamu walked in, he first put his hands on the brazier and roasted them carefully for a while. After feeling that his hands had recovered from the frozen state, he said to He Pu:

"General He has finished his meal with the soldiers. I wonder if the general believes that he should stay here for a few more days before fully restoring his morale and then rush to the valley entrance, or take a rest tomorrow and rush to the valley entrance the next day?"

"I wonder what General He thought?" Shi Xin also asked.

"Actually, the difference between you two is the arrival time and the number of soldiers. What I have summarized is correct?" He Pu did not answer immediately, but asked back.

"The general said it well." Shi Xin thought about it. Although he ignored many details, he grabbed the key points and nodded.

"The general summarized it very well. I wonder if the general wants to choose to protect the arrival time or the number of soldiers?" Hu Mamu said.

"I have to protect both of them." He Pu gave an unexpected answer.

"General, your choice is unrealistic." Hu Mamu said without any tactfulness: "It is impossible to achieve both goals at the same time."

"It is possible that as long as General Aziz, who is stationed outside Jieshan City, is willing to cooperate."

"Are you asking General Aziz to prepare the ship?" Humamu was stunned for a moment and suddenly said. If they could take a boat to the valley entrance after walking along the Yili River, they would be able to arrive even if they stay here for a few more days.

“That’s right.”

"But General Aziz may not agree. Even if he doesn't know that we are about to lose our posts at this time, General Aziz's level is no lower than you. You are, we are the general of the Hadi army and General Aziz's commander is that he will not obey our orders." Humamu said again. He and Shi Xin had talked about borrowing ships before, but the result was very difficult.

Hu Mamu couldn't say clearly, but He Pu still understood. 'Isn't it just that the big cannibals look down on the Han people? But you better not forget that you were defeated by the Han people in Luzhou last year!'

"I also know that we can't control him; and he may not agree to the request. Of course, if he is willing to give Aziz a large sum of money, he will definitely agree; but I am reluctant to give it up. It seems that there is no way; but in fact, there are other ways."

"What a good way?" Hu Mamu asked.

"That map." He Pu suddenly pointed at Hu Mamu's waist.

"Map? Are you talking about this map?" Hu Mamu was stunned for a moment and took out the map he had stolen from Li Quan from his waist.

“It’s this map.”

“This map is fake.”

"I know it's fake. But we can make him real." He Pu said.

"General He, what do you want to do?" Hu Mamu was stunned by him and simply stopped going around in circles but asked directly.

"My idea is..." He Pu talked about his own method.

He Pu's idea is actually very simple. No one knows how many grenades had been buried on the road in Suoye Town. It is very likely that there were grenades buried on a certain road, and it was impossible to determine whether the road was safe. But they took the soldiers to the edge of the Yili River. No matter whether someone stepped on the grenade and was injured during the process, the road they walked must be safe. He Pu planned to record the road they walked on the map and give it to Aziz.

In this way, Aziz will obtain a certain and safe road. Whether he pretends to catch the rebels and search the map or pretends to be the life of the soldiers to find the road, he will then present the map to Bingbosilin and get a reward. In other words, He Pu wants to give Aziz a credit.

"This, the road we have walked must be safe, Aziz understands, and the Governor understands. The Governor will definitely ask us to draw it on the map." Humamu said again.

"This is also simple. Let's draw a twisted route." He Pu took the map from Humamu's hand, drew a path that had been turned several times with his fingers, and said to him and Shi Xin: "There must be no grenades buried on this route."

"Why do you dare to say that?"

"Because I have drawn the routes connected by the Li family, the Li family's farm. The resistance army must have the support of the Li family, and even this plan was thought out by the Li family. In order to prevent their own tribe from being injured, they will definitely bypass the route that they must inspect the farm." He Pudao.

"What if you guessed wrong, there are grenades buried on this route?" Hu Mamu asked again.

"That's why, the grenade was not blowing when we walked by. Are there any other questions?" He Pu asked back.

"No." Humamu shook his head.

"I don't have either." Shi Xin also said.

"Since you have no doubts, let's follow this plan. The army will continue to stay here tomorrow morning. I will send an envoy outside Jieshan City to discuss this matter with General Aziz." He Pu said.

"General He, although I have been having trouble with you for a while, I have to praise you at this time: General is really amazing!" Shi Xin said with his thumbs up with his hands.

"Give it, get it." He Pu smiled and looked at Hu Mamu again.

Hu Mamu was very confused at this time. If this strategy was implemented, the connection between Gukou and Suye Town would be affected within a period of time. From the overall situation, he should object; but this strategy provided him with an opportunity to get along with General Aziz, which would be very beneficial to his future comeback.

"I went to the outside of Jieshan City in person to discuss with General Aziz. I set off early in the morning," Humamu said. After a painful choice, he finally chose to make friends with Aziz.

"Okay, let Hugazi and Aziz discuss it." He Pu smiled. If Humamu did not agree to implement this plan, it would have to be abolished; now he would agree, and he would be completely relieved.

The matter was agreed, and the three of them had no other matters to discuss, so they dispersed. He Pu and Shi Xin immediately lay down to sleep. Hu Mamu had to guard the first hour and the first hour of the lunar hour to the first hour and the half hour, so he could not sleep at this time, so he took his confidant soldiers to patrol.

I don’t know if it was because I was worried about being eaten by wild animals and being killed by the Turks who had escaped before, or because of other reasons, no soldiers tried to escape that night, and passed by safely, and the next day came soon.

They stayed here for five days. During these five days, from dawn every day to dark, He Pu and Shi Xin kept trying to improve the morale of the soldiers. They killed countless brain cells, and finally raised the morale of the soldiers. When they stopped mentioning the marching, some people showed panic and could lead them to continue to rush to the valley entrance.

Seeing this, He Pu and Shi Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief and set off again; at the same time, they sent someone to outside Jieshan City to inform Hu Mamu.

...

...

"He Pu would stay here for five days until the morale of the army recovered before setting off? He was not afraid of delaying the time?" Just as the Hardy army set off, Li Quan was watching in a small hill not far away. Seeing that they finally demolished the camp and set off again, he breathed a sigh of relief and was very puzzled.

What Shi Xin and Hu Mamu could think of, he and Liu Ju also thought of, and had been speculating that He Pu would choose to protect the arrival time or the number of soldiers; after discussion, both of them thought that they would choose to protect the arrival time. However, He Pu's decision was contrary to them, and both of them were puzzled.

"Don't worry about him." Liu Ju had been thinking about it for three days but couldn't think of it. He stopped thinking about it at this time and said, "Let's send someone to inform the Protector of the results."

"That's all." Li Quan could only agree.

"We can finally start again." Liu Ju said again: "I will immediately arrange for those under my command who are good at sneaking to follow the Hardy army and lay grenades on the road they are about to set up according to the news of the return."

"You have to pay attention. The newly dug soil looks different from the original soil. Remember to apply another layer of original soil on the surface when filling it." Li Quan is about to return to Shuye City to continue to investigate the news and will not continue to follow the Hardy army, so he started to instruct.

"I remember, I will never forget it." Liu Ju smiled.

"That's good." Li Quan nodded, thinking that he had nothing to give him, and finally said, "Then I'll go back. I wish Brother Liu a few more Hardy soldiers to death."
